Speaker 2: Humpte, Nicola Lott co I'm talking text line eight seven
0:38
Speaker 2: seven seven nine four three Hot takes about the Brewers Guardians,
0:42
Speaker 2: about Cooper Pratt and his prospects. He's no longer a prospect,
0:45
Speaker 2: He's a bona fide big leaguer. Cooper Pratt making his
0:49
Speaker 2: debut last night, Oh for three with the throwing error
0:52
Speaker 2: and Brewers went two to one over the Guardians in
0:55
Speaker 2: the opener of a three game.
0:57
Speaker 3: Series in American family Field.
0:58
Speaker 2: Good one aren't Andrew And you could hear the energy
1:02
Speaker 2: in the building. It is Little League night. You knew
1:03
Speaker 2: that place is going to be rock Oh Yeah, you
1:05
Speaker 2: knew they were.
1:06
Speaker 3: Gonna be off.
1:07
Speaker 2: I thought there would be with all the Little leaguers,
1:09
Speaker 2: I thought there'd be a lot of tarps off. Actually,
1:12
Speaker 2: the ball game less.
1:13
Speaker 1: Night imes off a little bit of a like they
1:15
Speaker 1: gotta be a little older type thing, maybe.
1:18
Speaker 2: Like it does seem it does seem to sit at
1:20
Speaker 2: high school in early college ish.
1:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, seven year olds are more about like the six
1:24
Speaker 1: seven type thing. You know.
1:25
Speaker 2: Oh that's fair probably probably once you get to double digits, yeah,
1:29
Speaker 2: because like I think, I think once you're about ten
1:31
Speaker 2: or eleven. Now, granted, my three year old the only
1:34
Speaker 2: thing he wants to do is take your shirt off,
1:35
Speaker 2: So like I don't know like at some point like
1:37
Speaker 2: where that reaches, but I think once you're like ten,
1:40
Speaker 2: that is gonna be. Once you're at the game, you're
1:42
Speaker 2: like I'm ripping this thing off and waving or through.
1:44
Speaker 2: But you also might be a little too young to
1:46
Speaker 2: let mom and dad send you up to the four
1:48
Speaker 2: hundreds by yourself.
1:49
Speaker 1: Also, you're with your friends on the Little league night.
1:51
Speaker 1: I'm assuming a lot of little uniforms, so maybe they
1:54
Speaker 1: wanted to represent with the crowd with the crew, like
1:56
Speaker 1: keep you keep your.
1:57
Speaker 3: Jersey they all took that long lap around the field.
1:59
Speaker 2: Before the game. Yeah, big big win last night. Hot
2:03
Speaker 2: take Not Cooper Pratt, not Robert cast or not Aaron
2:06
Speaker 2: Ashby the custard stands last night. Oh at an American family field.
2:10
Speaker 2: I can only imagine the workout that those workers business.
2:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, the guy that makes drink margarita stand probably kind
2:16
Speaker 1: of lonely, although I'm sure there was still a couple.
2:18
Speaker 2: There are a couple of bombs and dads having to
2:20
Speaker 2: get themselves. When you're supervising a bunch of little leaguers,
2:23
Speaker 2: you're gonna need a little something something. I was gonna say,
2:25
Speaker 2: you're definitely grabbing something in there that we'll get.
2:28
Speaker 3: Us your hot takes eight seven seven seven nine four
2:31
Speaker 3: seven three. We mentioned MESSI had a hat trick last night.
2:33
Speaker 2: He's pretty good. Yeah, he's not bad, not bad And
2:38
Speaker 2: uh Drew I I will say the one thing I
2:41
Speaker 2: learned about soccer, and I'm gonna sound like maybe the
2:44
Speaker 2: dumbest person of all time here last night was when
2:47
Speaker 2: I learned that there were two Ronaldo's. I kept seeing
2:50
Speaker 2: the graphics posted up and then the stories posted that
2:53
Speaker 2: that there's uh the Brazil Ronaldo who was a one
2:57
Speaker 2: name guy and now Christiano Ronald though the Portuguese right now,
3:01
Speaker 2: who is still playing and is going to rebreak or
3:04
Speaker 2: reset whatever the record MESSI had last night of a
3:07
Speaker 2: mount of World Cups played because they've played today in Portugal. Uh,
3:10
Speaker 2: two absolute rock stars. But that's a tough one when
3:13
Speaker 2: you go from the one name guy, Michael, Magic, Larry,
3:19
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden somebody else comes in here
3:20
Speaker 2: and now we got a budget it is. It's also
3:23
Speaker 2: the Ronaldinho.
3:24
Speaker 1: Correct, that's another one. Now you remember because he had
3:27
Speaker 1: the hair.
3:27
Speaker 2: He had the hair. He was number four, correct, If
3:29
Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken. I think I remember it because he
3:31
Speaker 2: was always cool when I was younger. He was definitely
3:33
Speaker 2: a cool player.
3:34
Speaker 1: Because the thing is that the Brazilian Ronaldo went by
3:37
Speaker 1: his first name, Christiano Ronaldo's obviously his last name. So
3:40
Speaker 1: that's kind of funny how that works.
3:41
Speaker 3: That's a wild one for you.
3:44
Speaker 2: Absolutely. So regarding the World Cup, people are starting to
3:46
Speaker 2: get starting to catch on. And I noticed in my
3:48
Speaker 2: Facebook feel I got people that are Facebook friends. Hey,
3:51
Speaker 2: we're going to Kansas City to watch the World Cup.
3:53
Speaker 2: I'm like cool, and people are enjoying it and you're
3:55
Speaker 2: seeing videos of tourists. I saw the guys like as
3:58
Speaker 2: the the seedings were opening last week, uh Airbnb somewhere
4:03
Speaker 2: in New England, Like the Scottish contingent playing the bagpipes
4:06
Speaker 2: at six a m. And drinking like outside your Airbnb,
4:10
Speaker 2: like tremendous stand around a bagpiper and they're all just
4:13
Speaker 2: boozing at six in the morning. As the guys with
4:15
Speaker 2: the sun rising, he's playing the bagpipes, Like, all right,
4:18
Speaker 2: that's just fun. The emerging of cultures. It's fun. The
4:22
Speaker 2: World Cup. You can say, oh, who wants to see
4:24
Speaker 2: a one nothing game?
4:26
Speaker 3: Harder court?
4:27
Speaker 2: His joke was always like it in a uh scoring
4:29
Speaker 2: at will Comma. England beat Wales one to nothing. Plenty
4:34
Speaker 2: of a lot of bad, a lot of draws. People
4:38
Speaker 2: don't like draws In the States, we don't like draws.
4:42
Speaker 1: Don't like But that's only through the group stage. Once
4:46
Speaker 1: you get the knockout stage, it's like a regular tournament.
4:48
Speaker 2: But you know, and I've never been to an Olympics
4:51
Speaker 2: or much of an experience like a World Cup, but
4:54
Speaker 2: I I think that it's just so fun and it's
4:57
Speaker 2: so cool and the exuberance. It's it's the beautiful game.
5:00
Speaker 2: I'm not anti soccer. I covered it coming up. I
5:02
Speaker 2: appreciate it. It is more athletic than people think. It's
5:05
Speaker 2: not any in any way like a woozy sport or
5:08
Speaker 2: anything like. Is there flopping? Have you seen the Thunder? Yeah,
5:12
Speaker 2: there's a share of flopping in it. But hockey does
5:15
Speaker 2: that too. There's a little slop the NFL too, even
5:18
Speaker 2: towards pass interference. There's a little bit of you got
5:20
Speaker 2: to manipulate the reps. If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.
5:22
Speaker 2: But the thing I love about the World Cup is
5:24
Speaker 2: like the people come in and even if your team
5:27
Speaker 2: has no chance, you're in it, and it's just a thrill.
5:30
Speaker 2: It's like for some of these teams, it's like being
5:32
Speaker 2: in a play in game. It's like being in the
5:33
Speaker 2: It's takes me to date and then you made the
5:35
Speaker 2: field of sixty four and it's a big deal. It's
5:39
Speaker 2: just to me. Okay. Now again, you have to to
5:43
Speaker 2: be intelligent, you have to hold competing thoughts in your head.
5:45
Speaker 3: The World Cup is fun. It's a great sporting event.
5:47
Speaker 3: It's awesome.
5:49
Speaker 2: Is the whole apparatus corrupt? And is it like worldwide
5:52
Speaker 2: corruption and grift that a historics get, yes, oh yeah, next, yeah, absolutely,
5:57
Speaker 2: But at the surf, at the ground level, and people
6:00
Speaker 2: are paying a lot for tickets, and people travel like
6:02
Speaker 2: internationally and stuff, it's just fun, and damn it, we
6:05
Speaker 2: need more fun in sports. We're trying to wrangle the fun.
6:08
Speaker 2: The Knicks run was fun. It was fun, It was refreshing.
6:12
Speaker 2: It was the first time since seventy three celebrity row.
6:15
Speaker 2: The Knicks run was fun. And then we have to
6:17
Speaker 2: muddy it up by saying, are are they gonna be
6:21
Speaker 2: able to repeat?
6:21
Speaker 3: Are they gonna be able? And where's it is Jon
6:23
Speaker 3: bunch On the best player ever to play? The next Like,
6:25
Speaker 3: why do we have to do that? Why do we
6:26
Speaker 3: have to go there and put it in context? Why
6:28
Speaker 3: can't we just say, well, that was fun, what's next?
6:31
Speaker 2: What do we enjoy it? Why do we have to
6:32
Speaker 2: linger on it and then take it apart and fricka
6:35
Speaker 2: see it and like wonder about you know, the historical
6:39
Speaker 2: and everything is so when I heard I almost threw
6:41
Speaker 2: up And I told you guys, when someone when the
6:43
Speaker 2: Knicks one that game at home and had the twenty
6:46
Speaker 2: nine point come back, this.
6:46
Speaker 3: Is the greatest moment in New York sports history. It's
6:48
Speaker 3: not even close.
6:51
Speaker 2: You know, it was a great moment, but like, why
6:52
Speaker 2: do we have to compare it to Bobby Thompson in
6:54
Speaker 2: nineteen fifty one or Joe Namath than sixty nine or
6:57
Speaker 2: any of the Yankees victories and to this job?
7:00
Speaker 3: Why do we have to do it? Well, A lot
7:02
Speaker 3: of it's because of this job.
7:03
Speaker 2: A lot of it's so I guess we're part of it.
7:05
Speaker 2: I guess we're here, we are like is something that's
7:09
Speaker 2: it is, like we just it's unavoidable, and it's again
7:13
Speaker 2: I go go back, Like Tom Brady has warped a
7:15
Speaker 2: lot of people, Jordan warped people's uh perspective to Lebron.
7:20
Speaker 2: The fact that Tiger Woods did not catch Jack Nicholas
7:23
Speaker 2: for majors makes some people think he's a failure in
7:25
Speaker 2: some way when he was an absolutely pivotal revolutionary figure
7:29
Speaker 2: in sports that we should appreciate. But oh he didn't
7:31
Speaker 2: get who cares?
7:35
Speaker 3: Right?
7:35
Speaker 2: Again, in a kinder, gentler time, the greats like Ted
7:39
Speaker 2: Williams never won a World Series Today, he'd be barbecued
7:42
Speaker 2: for oh yeah, he'd And he's like one of the
7:44
Speaker 2: greatest players, one of the greatest sports guys, and you know,
7:47
Speaker 2: four years years to the war, right, Like, come on,
7:52
Speaker 2: so what are we doing? Why do we do this?
7:55
Speaker 2: What can we do to get out from under it?
7:57
Speaker 2: You can have your own personal battles to like just
7:59
Speaker 2: enjoy stuff as it comes, like Cooper Pratt, well, are
8:02
Speaker 2: the Brewers going to get their money's worth? I mean,
8:05
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, arman, You're you were as childlike
8:08
Speaker 2: a fan and appreciate things as much as anybody I know,
8:11
Speaker 2: and yet it creeps in, like the money. I never
8:14
Speaker 2: knew how much Don Money was making, or Ben o'glivie
8:17
Speaker 2: or Robin Yell. I never thought about it. As kids,
8:19
Speaker 2: you care about the player, You never.
8:21
Speaker 3: Thought about the money.
8:24
Speaker 2: And now I'm hoping it'll be interesting to see as
8:26
Speaker 2: young Carson is just living a blissful sports fans existence
8:29
Speaker 2: right now, living and dying with it and just enjoying
8:31
Speaker 2: it and running around and pretending to be the players,
8:34
Speaker 2: like that's it, that's what it's about. But you know,
8:38
Speaker 2: when he gets to be eight, he's gonna be like, well,
8:39
Speaker 2: that guy's gonna go to arbitration and his agent's gonna
8:41
Speaker 2: get it like, yeah, his war isn't good enough. I
8:43
Speaker 2: don't know why he's in the lineup. And we've ruined
8:46
Speaker 2: kids sports like the whole, Like we've taken all the
8:48
Speaker 2: fun out of that by having tournaments and travel teams
8:51
Speaker 2: and participation trophies, Like, can't we just go back to
8:54
Speaker 2: like enjoying the games again.
8:56
Speaker 1: I think about it, like the Brewers through the eighties
8:58
Speaker 1: and early nineties had a decade and a half of
9:02
Speaker 1: two great players, two Hall of famers, Maldor and the
9:05
Speaker 1: Out And obviously there's Gander there, but monitoring the out,
9:07
Speaker 1: we're future Hall of famers that were legitimate, bona fide
9:10
Speaker 1: great players, and they were always on your team and
9:12
Speaker 1: you knew that, And there didn't seem to be the
9:14
Speaker 1: panic that I know there would have been now that
9:17
Speaker 1: those guys after eighty two weren't winning the worlds. We
9:19
Speaker 1: didn't win a World Series. I feel like that would
9:21
Speaker 1: have been the topic of conversation going into every year
9:23
Speaker 1: with them. Yep, it's like one of these guys gonna
9:25
Speaker 1: win a ring, and instead I was young, so maybe
9:29
Speaker 1: it was more than I remember.
9:31
Speaker 2: I think it wasn't the culture, but.
9:34
Speaker 1: Thinking one of these guys gonna win a ring.
9:36
Speaker 2: Are they gonna ring.
9:37
Speaker 1: Chase or they had Should we blow it up and
9:40
Speaker 1: start over. We're never gonna win with them like that.
9:43
Speaker 1: It was just more we're happy to have two great
9:45
Speaker 1: players works. We loved it, and it was awesome to
9:47
Speaker 1: have them on our team at the top of the
9:49
Speaker 1: lineup every year going into the summer. I mean, or
9:52
Speaker 1: the eighties Bucks that.
9:54
Speaker 2: Were so good, Yeah, that's the team. To me, is
9:57
Speaker 2: like don Nelson was coaching that nobody Nobody said again,
10:00
Speaker 2: don Nelson out because they no one said it now
10:03
Speaker 2: because they were winning. They were an elite team. They
10:06
Speaker 2: were winning fifty to fifty five games year and then
10:07
Speaker 2: running too the buzz saw that was the Celtics or
10:09
Speaker 2: the Sixers at the time, and it's like you lost
10:12
Speaker 2: to I mean the all time, you know, great players
10:14
Speaker 2: and teams. But it wasn't like, well, we got to
10:17
Speaker 2: strip this down, We're gonna have to go get some
10:19
Speaker 2: draft capital, We're gonna have to we have to win,
10:21
Speaker 2: we have to add a free agent. It was always like,
10:22
Speaker 2: oh man, that sucked, Well, let's get them next year.
10:25
Speaker 2: And you just look forward to the next year. But
10:27
Speaker 2: it's also a part of the twenty four to seven,
10:30
Speaker 2: three sixty five, we mentioned that here we are and
10:32
Speaker 2: the reason the World Cup's getting burned and the Knicks
10:34
Speaker 2: got burns because the NFL is like mini camps are
10:37
Speaker 2: over and we're receding into the hedges a little bit.
10:39
Speaker 2: They're on vacation. Which is the only time of the
10:42
Speaker 2: year really that the NFL goes away. Is these couple
10:45
Speaker 2: of weeks before training camp? Oh, for sure, this is
10:48
Speaker 2: the four or five weeks that it's not. This is it.
10:50
Speaker 2: I also think the other one of the other reasons
10:53
Speaker 2: in rationales for it would be just like there's a
10:56
Speaker 2: thirst to be right about everything right, there is a
11:00
Speaker 2: there's an appetite to be right and to not only
11:04
Speaker 2: be correct, but prove why others are wrong. And I
11:08
Speaker 2: think sports allows for that so much more when you
11:11
Speaker 2: have now so much more data. Like Derek and Whitewater
11:15
Speaker 2: said it herely, we didn't have sports talk radio then,
11:17
Speaker 2: we didn't have access to stats contracts within two seconds
11:19
Speaker 2: to be able to run through things back then. That
11:23
Speaker 2: it arms you with the belief of even more confidence
11:28
Speaker 2: in bravado where it doesn't have to be that serious.
11:31
Speaker 2: You can enjoy cheering for your team and not saying yeah,
11:35
Speaker 2: but I know that this guy's better than him, all right.
11:38
Speaker 2: He was on my fantasy team for the last three years.
11:40
Speaker 2: He's produced far better, and he would be a much
11:42
Speaker 2: cheaper option because there's a demand to play armshare quarterback
11:45
Speaker 2: with kind of everything and every day. And I also
11:48
Speaker 2: the tough part, Drew is like, just let the games
11:51
Speaker 2: be fun and let the sports be good. We're in
11:53
Speaker 2: a good time right now. But then in the midst
11:56
Speaker 2: of it, like we're seeing the highlights of Bryce Trang
11:58
Speaker 2: and Garrett Mitchell's home runs and excited about Cooper Pratt
12:01
Speaker 2: coming up. Some of it's unescapable when immediately you're in
12:06
Speaker 2: a great baseball season and the only thing big time
12:09
Speaker 2: folks want to talk about, Like Jeff Passing just had
12:11
Speaker 2: a great piece yesterday about the impending labor dispute that
12:14
Speaker 2: fires up like it, it can be difficult to steer
12:18
Speaker 2: fully clear of because it's kind of always right around
12:20
Speaker 2: the corner. Never thought of that as a kid, never
12:23
Speaker 2: had any of that, not even close. When the NFL
12:26
Speaker 2: went on that lockout in twenty eleven, I had zero
12:31
Speaker 2: clue what that was, like, I had no idea what
12:34
Speaker 2: this situation was, and then I remembered, oh wait, yeah,
12:38
Speaker 2: NHL games and highlights used to be on ESPN. And
12:41
Speaker 2: then there was a full year while I was like
12:43
Speaker 2: nine or where there was no games and then and
12:46
Speaker 2: they didn't cover it all. And so, like you just
12:49
Speaker 2: it can be a dark and muddy side, and there's
12:52
Speaker 2: just so much money in it right now that lends
12:54
Speaker 2: itself to even ESPN. They'll they'll show baseball highlights, but
12:58
Speaker 2: not as much as they used to when they had
13:00
Speaker 2: Baseball Tonight every night, and not even close, you know,
13:02
Speaker 2: they they had Sunday Night Baseball. It's not even close.
13:05
Speaker 2: There seems to be because now ESPN's owned by the
13:07
Speaker 2: NFL owns the ESPN, and the ESPN owns the NFL. Well, yeah,
13:11
Speaker 2: and there's been a really cool pod that Rich Eisen
13:15
Speaker 2: is starting up which he's calling this was Sports Center.
13:18
Speaker 2: He had the DP on first, and then Chris Berman,
13:22
Speaker 2: who was Sports Center, like when it started, Chris Berman
13:27
Speaker 2: was Sports Center, and they got into it back and
13:30
Speaker 2: forth of like, well that kind of show couldn't last. Now,
13:33
Speaker 2: I fully disagree. I do think that there's still a
13:36
Speaker 2: spot for a large sub section of sports fans that
13:40
Speaker 2: would enjoy a thirty to sixty minute show that was
13:44
Speaker 2: just the games from last night instead of fifteen minutes
13:48
Speaker 2: of games last night and then thirty minutes of what
13:51
Speaker 2: did they talk about on first take? And what are
13:53
Speaker 2: these two guys dispute about it.
13:54
Speaker 1: I think you're right, Billy. I think it just you
13:56
Speaker 1: wouldn't get the numbers you used to because everything's more
13:58
Speaker 1: segmented in media. So that's the goal, Like as.
14:01
Speaker 2: The thing is they we know so much more now,
14:03
Speaker 2: right like even to the point of stats. You don't
14:05
Speaker 2: have to tune in to know if if the Phillies
14:08
Speaker 2: won last night.
14:09
Speaker 1: We're not waiting.
14:11
Speaker 2: That is the thing. I'm going to be doing a
14:13
Speaker 2: podcast with a sports writer friend of mine, and I'm
14:15
Speaker 2: sure that's what we're going to talk about because back
14:16
Speaker 2: in the day when I wrote game stories and stuff,
14:19
Speaker 2: nobody saw the press conferences. And there's a good.
14:23
Speaker 3: Chance I was writing the people who hadn't seen the highlights.
14:25
Speaker 2: You the only lifeline, the people for the information, and
14:29
Speaker 2: that world doesn't exist anymore. Just like I see this.
14:32
Speaker 2: I'm not comparing myself, but I did. I see these
14:34
Speaker 2: interviews with Jerry Seinfeld. The're like, would you go back
14:36
Speaker 2: and do a network Like, No, that world doesn't exist
14:38
Speaker 2: like it used to be. Thursday night, everybody in the
14:40
Speaker 2: country basically was watching NBC and the what people want
14:44
Speaker 2: talking about it at the water cooler the next morning,
14:46
Speaker 2: and that world is gone and it's a faint distant
14:50
Speaker 2: black and white memory now.
14:51
Speaker 1: And like, and what people are programmed to enjoy has
14:54
Speaker 1: changed too, Like people are laughing now, or they're consuming
14:57
Speaker 1: content that's not sitcom format like that. So that's the
15:00
Speaker 1: thing about I just saw a h it was Vincent
15:03
Speaker 1: Goodwill on the on the desk for ESPN that called
15:06
Speaker 1: the NBA Trophy a participation trophy because there aren't dynasties
15:10
Speaker 1: like I just don't. I don't understand that. But but
15:14
Speaker 1: we're looking for, like Billy, I think your point, and
15:17
Speaker 1: it's true is people are looking to be right, looking
15:20
Speaker 1: for a take that's different, looking to stand out.
15:22
Speaker 2: And the first impulse now is to be the first
15:24
Speaker 2: to say you're done, like the team's dead, they're done.
15:33
Speaker 2: Were going through that, and then they might put the
15:34
Speaker 2: paddles to it and they might not end up selling
15:36
Speaker 2: and end up ending playoffs and like where they expected
15:39
Speaker 2: to be.
15:40
Speaker 3: It's like a lot of ballgame left right. But there's
15:42
Speaker 3: that first.
15:43
Speaker 2: I want to be the first time I block the
15:44
Speaker 2: first series of the Packers season, like, oh, they're not
15:47
Speaker 2: going to the super Bowl this year, they saw it.
15:48
Speaker 2: They just can't win it. No, they can't do it.
15:50
Speaker 2: Jordan never going to be Aaron Rods. And there's the
15:53
Speaker 2: whole thing where it's not just players chasing rings, it's fans.
15:55
Speaker 2: Whereas like, if my team's not gonna win a title,
15:57
Speaker 2: why should I even bother? Why I even have a season?
16:00
Speaker 2: Why do I even need to watch that? There's zero
16:02
Speaker 2: point unless you are gonna win the title. At the end,
16:05
Speaker 2: Rob just said it by one. Enjoy without championships, even
16:09
Speaker 2: though that would be nice too. One hundred and sixty
16:10
Speaker 2: two days of fun with the Brewers and thirty ish
16:13
Speaker 2: games of Badger basketball each year are enjoyed thoroughly. I
16:17
Speaker 2: look at it with what the Bucks are thinking about
16:19
Speaker 2: for the next week. Uh, that they're potentially gonna move
16:23
Speaker 2: off of Giannis or hold on to them or what
16:27
Speaker 2: they turn him into. Yeah, it sounds all well and good.
16:30
Speaker 2: Just suck for four years, get a bunch of great players,
16:33
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden you win a championship
16:35
Speaker 2: in seven and we'll all be there and none of
16:37
Speaker 2: us will leave and it'll all be hanky dory. Well,
16:40
Speaker 2: there are six or seven years there where you've got
16:42
Speaker 2: to sell tickets and you gotta have the lights on,
16:44
Speaker 2: and if people aren't watching. The worst thing that you
16:47
Speaker 2: can have is apathy in sports Like we say that
16:49
Speaker 2: that comes with just being mediocre. No, that means forty
16:53
Speaker 2: of the games people leave happy, and forty of them
16:55
Speaker 2: they leave upset. That breeds a little bit more conversation.
16:58
Speaker 2: Five weeks away from the fifth Animal Versary of the
17:00
Speaker 2: Bucks winning a title, it seems like longer than that,
17:02
Speaker 2: and it was that sustaining. Just give me one title,
17:05
Speaker 2: that's all I want. We can suck for last time. No, No,
17:08
Speaker 2: it's better to be good every year and have a chance.
17:10
Speaker 2: The way the Brewers have. This is better than being
17:13
Speaker 2: the Marlins and winning once and then having twenty years
17:16
Speaker 2: of just sucking like a shop back. I would love
17:19
Speaker 2: to I'd love to argue with what Drudis said. They're
17:22
Speaker 2: armin But I think the I think the most frustrated
17:24
Speaker 2: and angry and heartbroke and I've been after a Bucks
17:26
Speaker 2: loss was Game six of the second round when they
17:29
Speaker 2: were trying to repeat and they lost. The lost because
17:32
Speaker 2: you think they're gonna move on to the conference finals.
17:34
Speaker 2: I'll be fine, just win one. It doesn't even matter
17:36
Speaker 2: what you do next year. It's funny, it'sas that's so true,
17:40
Speaker 2: and that always proved me. It was actually it was
17:43
Speaker 2: before that.
17:43
Speaker 1: It only took two weeks for Bucks fans to not
17:46
Speaker 1: be satisfied because they didn't resign PJ. Like that was
17:49
Speaker 1: the smoking gun for me to say, all right, don't
17:51
Speaker 1: ever tell me again that you just gotta win one
17:53
Speaker 1: and he'll be satisfied because only took you two weeks
17:55
Speaker 1: to say, what are we doing? Resign PJ? Going the
17:58
Speaker 1: tax And you're right. I mean, we've been frustrated the
18:01
Speaker 1: last five years, the Brewers out of the Bucks. The
18:03
Speaker 1: Bucks haven't gotten back to the promised land. So you'll
18:06
Speaker 1: always want more. That's just the nature of it. That's okay.
18:08
Speaker 1: But it's the point and the idea that like you
18:11
Speaker 1: can't be you can't enjoy it, or it can't be
18:14
Speaker 1: a success unless you won the championship. That ring culture
18:17
Speaker 1: has been part of us now as American sports fans
18:20
Speaker 1: for the last couple of decades, and man that I
18:22
Speaker 1: think that's the worst way to go about it. And
18:24
Speaker 1: that's the worst part. But I can't tell someone and
18:27
Speaker 1: not want to win a championship because we've we've got
18:30
Speaker 1: that ethos in American culture and American sports culture that
18:34
Speaker 1: unless you win it all, you are a failure. And
18:36
Speaker 1: that's exact that pervades for so and so when people
18:39
Speaker 1: teach that to their kids, and somebody will teach that
18:41
Speaker 1: to others, and I get it, Man, the dream is
18:44
Speaker 1: to win it all. But you can still enjoy the process.
18:47
Speaker 2: Sometimes you can still enjoy the process even if you're
18:50
Speaker 2: not New York Knicks fans making the Aaron Fox number
18:52
Speaker 2: four NBA Finals jerseys. Right there you go.
18:57
Speaker 1: When the Knicks lose next year in the playoffs, which
18:59
Speaker 1: are likely gonna happen unless they repeat but probably not probably,
19:02
Speaker 1: how happy will Knicks fans be then about that? They'll
19:05
Speaker 1: get they'll they'll beat.
19:06
Speaker 2: They had their moment, We had our moments. So pasty
19:08
Speaker 2: and Warren Zevon said, enjoy every single Enjoy every game,
19:12
Speaker 2: Enjoy the ten percent that isn't getting kicked in the
19:15
Speaker 2: Enjoy the journeys, the road to get there.
19:17
Speaker 1: You're not going to get in the subway and say
19:19
Speaker 1: it's fine, we won last year. We're totally good.

Speaker 2: halftime of the program. We welcome our halftime correspondent Scott
20:13
Speaker 2: Dolphin from the contry station on the Haull FM one
20:15
Speaker 2: oh six Dolph. I was at the Brewers game last
20:18
Speaker 2: evening and when I got home, I lived near the
20:21
Speaker 2: Summerfest grounds, and the Garth Brooks crowd was leaving, and
20:26
Speaker 2: I thought, Armen, check, check, there we go.
20:29
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, you got your own private concert.
20:31
Speaker 1: But no, it was over.
20:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was over, and uh it was still kind
20:34
Speaker 2: of early, and I thought, wow, he must have started
20:36
Speaker 2: early with do they have an opening act? I would
20:38
Speaker 2: imagine he did.
20:39
Speaker 3: I don't think he did.
20:39
Speaker 2: Oh maybe he doesn't. Think He's like Springsteen, just walk
20:42
Speaker 2: out and on it.
20:43
Speaker 3: It was an evening with Garth Brooks. Well there you go.
20:45
Speaker 2: Okay, that explains it, because it was like it was
20:48
Speaker 2: early for a concert to be finished. I was gonna say,
20:50
Speaker 2: you gotta hit that beat between in evening with when
20:54
Speaker 2: they start that's the that's the move right there, when.
20:56
Speaker 1: They start calling concerts in evening with? And does that
20:59
Speaker 1: mean like getting the legend olders?
21:01
Speaker 3: It's well, yeah it could be.
21:03
Speaker 2: I mean, so it must have been like you probably
21:04
Speaker 2: took the stage at seven thirty and played a couple hours.
21:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's the way to go. I get
21:09
Speaker 3: excited now as I'm getting older when I see an
21:11
Speaker 3: evening with because normally that means you're not gonna have
21:13
Speaker 3: any opening acts, right, and I can if it's a
21:15
Speaker 3: week night. Now if it's a weekend. Some of the
21:17
Speaker 3: best shows I've seen are opening acts that you discover,
21:20
Speaker 3: like the s.
21:21
Speaker 2: Gadium shows now, like Luke Comb's right head right, oh yeah,
21:24
Speaker 2: he had a monster bill. He did.
21:26
Speaker 3: In fact, he not only at Lambo, but when he
21:28
Speaker 3: was in Milwaukee a couple of years ago. He had
21:29
Speaker 3: completely different opening acts each night. Yes, that's right, pretty incredible,
21:34
Speaker 3: that's pretty wild. Well, and I wonder too, how much
21:37
Speaker 3: more of it?
21:37
Speaker 2: Like when when when Blake Shelton takes the stage, that's
21:41
Speaker 2: an evening with Blake Shelton because he's going to talk
21:43
Speaker 2: in between. There's the point there's gonna be a nice gamesmanship.
21:46
Speaker 1: Because it'll do all music that it's like talking comedy stories.
21:50
Speaker 2: Is that a tough blend those because some folks are
21:53
Speaker 2: just like, hey man, just rip some songs out here,
21:55
Speaker 2: let it ride and go.
21:56
Speaker 3: Not if you're Blake Shelton.
21:57
Speaker 2: But Blake Shelton, he's way too funny. He half.
22:00
Speaker 3: It's a half stand up half. He'll still sing twenty
22:03
Speaker 3: six songs for you and they're all number one, but
22:05
Speaker 3: it's a whole personality type show. Yeah.
22:07
Speaker 1: And then I feel like when you get to a
22:08
Speaker 1: certain age, it becomes you know. And I just went
22:10
Speaker 1: to see an evening with Wayne Newton when I.
22:12
Speaker 2: Was in Vegae.
22:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, so obviously it's like you got an evening with
22:15
Speaker 1: him and his wife mostly.
22:16
Speaker 2: Yeah. Did he apologize for having a cold. He usually does.
22:20
Speaker 3: He lost his voice and can't hit.
22:21
Speaker 2: Notes on you know what.
22:25
Speaker 1: I did say something like that.
22:26
Speaker 2: Boys, Yeah, but he does that almost every night.
22:29
Speaker 3: Was that at the Sphere?
22:30
Speaker 2: Yeah?
22:31
Speaker 1: No, it was definitely not in the Sphere. Dog Russell this.
22:34
Speaker 3: Morning was showing me a video of he went to
22:36
Speaker 3: see No Doubt at the Sphere the other night.
22:38
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Yeah, I gotta ask him about that,
22:40
Speaker 1: because you know, anytime I didn't comes back from Vegas,
22:42
Speaker 1: gonna ask them.
22:42
Speaker 2: So only incredible.
22:43
Speaker 3: Yeah.
22:43
Speaker 2: I only saw one video he posted online of it,
22:46
Speaker 2: and it looked pretty wild. He saw Chesney I believe
22:50
Speaker 2: at the Suit as well a couple of years ago,
22:52
Speaker 2: and that one looked like an insane Yep.
22:55
Speaker 3: That's got to be a bucket lister. I'm not a
22:57
Speaker 3: big Vegas guy. I've been there a couple of times,
22:59
Speaker 3: but now that that place is around, I have to
23:01
Speaker 3: get out there.
23:02
Speaker 1: The sphere of the venue has done the job. I
23:03
Speaker 1: was questioning it at first. Leg is expensive and cool
23:06
Speaker 1: looking boy going to make money. But it's it's becoming you.
23:10
Speaker 2: You were doubting it too, weren't you. I did, and
23:12
Speaker 2: I was.
23:12
Speaker 1: Like, it's pretty cool. I went for the backstrat boys.
23:15
Speaker 1: It adds a different element of your favorite shows that
23:17
Speaker 1: you've already seen. So if you've already seen like obviously
23:20
Speaker 1: the Metallica, got a lot of a lot of run Eagles,
23:22
Speaker 1: The Eagles obviously and the Grateful Dad is popular because
23:26
Speaker 1: if you've already seen a show that you like and
23:28
Speaker 1: a band that you like, when they play this venue,
23:31
Speaker 1: it's a totally different experience. And I gotta say it's
23:33
Speaker 1: pretty good. It's pretty impressive. But you know you're gonna
23:36
Speaker 1: be paining a pretty penny because usually it's like the
23:39
Speaker 1: magnum Opus type show for legendary groups. It's not like
23:42
Speaker 1: a brand new artist or something like that, so you
23:45
Speaker 1: have to know that going in. But it is a
23:47
Speaker 1: different it's a different beast. There's no question, like.
23:49
Speaker 3: Anything else in Vegas these days, you're gonna play it,
23:51
Speaker 3: pay a pretty penny.
23:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's nothing that's like Casino Royale is still three bucks.
23:57
Speaker 1: So let your boy know, all right, So, but yes, no,
24:01
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool.
24:02
Speaker 3: And you need to start a website. Arm and Sarien's
24:04
Speaker 3: Cheap Skates Guides to Vegas.
24:06
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, there's a there's a drew. There's a lot
24:10
Speaker 2: of tiktoks on it, every single one.
24:13
Speaker 1: The market saturated.
24:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, days have changed. I mean when I live West
24:16
Speaker 3: Coast Man, my roommate, he'd go to Renochel all the time.
24:20
Speaker 3: I said, what do you do up there? Pay play
24:22
Speaker 3: penny slots and sop up free drinks with the locals.
24:25
Speaker 1: You can money free drinks. Used to be able to
24:27
Speaker 1: do that, and it's not the same. But if you
24:29
Speaker 1: find it, it's still right.
24:31
Speaker 2: You still find the right spot. You'll find that right bartender.
24:33
Speaker 2: That's that's plugging. It's not me the usual running around
24:36
Speaker 2: as much. You just gotta tip better.
24:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. But that's the problem is if I
24:43
Speaker 1: start tipping great, then I just defeated the whole purpose.
24:46
Speaker 1: Not that I don't want to tip people now, I
24:48
Speaker 1: don't want to get you. Don't get me started on
24:50
Speaker 1: that pill.
24:50
Speaker 2: But it should be is that it's better because the
24:52
Speaker 2: money is going to these hard workers instead of corporations.
24:57
Speaker 1: That's it still is.
24:58
Speaker 2: Start sharing some of that bit going wealth. Man, I
25:01
Speaker 2: know you're probably right. Should I saw my may box.
25:03
Speaker 2: He's got all these He's got all these beautiful cars
25:06
Speaker 2: and expensive jewelry. My car off a little bit of cash.
25:11
Speaker 1: Imagine your boy shopping at you know, I'm looking at
25:13
Speaker 1: all my all day, looking for the deals, and I'm
25:15
Speaker 1: moving a card he watch like you know what I mean,
25:17
Speaker 1: It's just so funny to me.
25:21
Speaker 2: A gift of wings with Maybe.
25:25
Speaker 1: There are some people that like ask me, like that
25:27
Speaker 1: was fake, right, I'm like, no, it was real.
25:29
Speaker 2: I ask you that when you're shopping the discount bakery,
25:32
Speaker 2: I know exactly.
25:33
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I'm here, you know, buying day old
25:36
Speaker 1: donuts for a dollar, and you think that that was real.
25:39
Speaker 1: I just couldn't.
25:39
Speaker 2: I just can't believe that.
25:42
Speaker 1: Anyway, there you go anyway, anyway, I'll save you.
25:48
Speaker 2: What do you think of Cooper Pratt's debut? Well, the
25:50
Speaker 2: first thing I thought is he is.
25:52
Speaker 3: He's a striking young man with his athletic physique. My god,
25:56
Speaker 3: what he's got to be at least four six four.
26:00
Speaker 3: He's well put together, a little boy, and I just
26:02
Speaker 3: can't you know, I think this whole week should just
26:05
Speaker 3: be uh, he should get a free pass. I mean, what,
26:07
Speaker 3: you have three ground outs last night? I can't imagine
26:09
Speaker 3: what's running through your head as a twenty one year old, Oh,
26:11
Speaker 3: making your big league debut.
26:13
Speaker 2: He looked he was trying to break the radar gun
26:16
Speaker 2: last night too. On that one throw into the hole
26:18
Speaker 2: right like, the kind of looked like there was a
26:20
Speaker 2: foot slipped a little bit. It slid a little bit,
26:23
Speaker 2: and he was trying to unleash that cannon a little bit. Yeah,
26:25
Speaker 2: he's gonna show it off a little bit though. He's
26:27
Speaker 2: gonna see what he's got.
26:28
Speaker 1: He is. Uh.
26:29
Speaker 2: He did initiate a nice double play with Terraang though,
26:31
Speaker 2: big time. That was his first chance. It was a
26:34
Speaker 2: double play end up being a big double play. It
26:36
Speaker 2: was huge and gasser Uh talked about it in Hunter's report.
26:39
Speaker 2: It was cool to be able to know their little
26:41
Speaker 2: backstory of them being locker mates. He's got a he's
26:44
Speaker 2: got a good confidence.
26:45
Speaker 3: To him and that that's gonna be important.
26:48
Speaker 2: You desperately need it right like I mean, I still
26:50
Speaker 2: think one of my favorite moments of Browny was when
26:52
Speaker 2: he came up for the BP day after he signed
26:55
Speaker 2: his contract. He sits it with you, and you said
26:57
Speaker 2: as he walked out, right, young man loves himself, fro
27:00
Speaker 2: Ryan Bron love himselves and Ryan Brown Well, but you
27:03
Speaker 2: need to have that kind of confidence if you're gonna
27:05
Speaker 2: roll through it.
27:06
Speaker 3: I mean he went to the U he probably picked
27:07
Speaker 3: up some confidence there. Plus he was a SoCal guy.
27:10
Speaker 3: You mentioned gasser Man. Shout out to that kid at
27:13
Speaker 3: What's He's still looking for his first win in two
27:14
Speaker 3: years since Tommy John And he pitched really well last night.
27:17
Speaker 3: Deserved to get the w. But you know it was
27:19
Speaker 3: a tight game.
27:20
Speaker 2: It's a good point. Yeah he did, and then it
27:22
Speaker 2: didn't work out that way, No, And then Mike Tolbert,
27:25
Speaker 2: sorry Aaron Ashby went in vulted the touchdown alter like
27:30
Speaker 2: any great fullback in fantasy football, Tyler Aljeer taking all
27:34
Speaker 2: the Bejon Robinson's touch.
27:37
Speaker 1: There was a guy named Toefield once on the Jaguars
27:41
Speaker 1: that would get touchdowns I think it was from ma
27:42
Speaker 1: Reice Jones Drew and this guy with the college with
27:45
Speaker 1: in the dorm would be just screaming down the hallway in.
27:48
Speaker 3: The dorm blank in toefield his fantasy touchdownson had They
27:54
Speaker 3: called it the Vulture too, That's true, A man.
27:56
Speaker 2: Do you know interesting Gasser trivia? You know who into
28:00
Speaker 2: the family was and used to attend his high school games.
28:02
Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear this.
28:04
Speaker 2: I'll tell you, and it'll be Fast and Furious. Vin
28:07
Speaker 2: Diesel no friend of his father's and attended Gasser's high
28:11
Speaker 2: school games. That's awesome. Wow, the more you know how
28:14
Speaker 2: about that? I wonder where they met right, like over
28:18
Speaker 2: the longtime friends or they just meet at the gym,
28:20
Speaker 2: because I could feel a Vin Diesel was probably enjoying
28:23
Speaker 2: it to throw around some weight with somebody that was
28:25
Speaker 2: not in Hollywood sphere.
28:26
Speaker 3: I've heard Vin Diesel is a good dude. I mean,
28:29
Speaker 3: you know, we know him mostly from Fast and Furious,
28:31
Speaker 3: although underrated performance in Saving Private Ryan remember having that Wait.
28:37
Speaker 1: A minute, wait a minute, you're right he was in there.
28:39
Speaker 3: Yeah.
28:40
Speaker 2: Well, I don't want to ruin it for you if
28:41
Speaker 2: you Yeah, yeah, I'm twenty five year old movie. Spoiler
28:46
Speaker 2: alert spoiler Yeah, he takes an unfortunate bullet to the
28:52
Speaker 2: to the helmet at one point in that movie. But yeah, Vin,
28:55
Speaker 2: I love how nervous you were even to tell us that.
28:57
Speaker 2: I mean's okay. So yeah, I hate I hate oil
29:00
Speaker 2: and things like that. I mean, I've talked to people
29:01
Speaker 2: that haven't seen It's a wonderful life from nineteen forty six.
29:05
Speaker 3: You know, I don't want to ruin it.
29:06
Speaker 1: There was.
29:08
Speaker 2: There's a good moment. I don't know if it was
29:10
Speaker 2: it was on the show where But first things first,
29:13
Speaker 2: Chris Brussardi used to do the Odd Couple on Fox
29:15
Speaker 2: Sports radio show they were doing, they had the cameras
29:18
Speaker 2: rolling during the break, and he just leaned over to
29:21
Speaker 2: the guys and said, hellas, so I know I'm a
29:23
Speaker 2: little late here, but my wife and I just finished
29:26
Speaker 2: the uh finished the Sopranos bad ending. Oh my goodness.
29:33
Speaker 2: Immediately Nick Wright's like, wait, you can't be telling me
29:36
Speaker 2: that you're just understanding my way? He goes, No, I mean,
29:39
Speaker 2: I knew it was wild. I knew people didn't like it,
29:41
Speaker 2: but I just saw it. What the heck was that about?
29:43
Speaker 2: That's awesome? Don't spoil that one, though people have seen.
29:47
Speaker 2: It's still there on HBO. Oh my goodness, how about
29:51
Speaker 2: that any Brewers? Even if they had lost yesterday, they're
29:54
Speaker 2: still on their best seventy games start franchise history.
29:58
Speaker 3: Yeah. I've checked the standings for the first time in
30:00
Speaker 3: a long time this morning. The Cardinals aren't going away?
30:02
Speaker 3: Are they just four and a half back? They got
30:03
Speaker 3: their fortieth padres last night. Make me nervous if they're
30:06
Speaker 3: actually good.
30:07
Speaker 1: I don't like that because I kind of like the
30:10
Speaker 1: years when they were like not existing as this bad
30:12
Speaker 1: team all of a sudden, and now it's like, okay,
30:14
Speaker 1: they are they being Cardinals.
30:16
Speaker 2: This is this is a for Billy Potawatami sports book
30:19
Speaker 2: quich you're going to the window who finishes ahead of
30:23
Speaker 2: whom in the standings?
30:25
Speaker 3: Cubs are Cardinals?
30:26
Speaker 1: Oh?
30:27
Speaker 2: I would definitely still say the Cubs and we're going
30:30
Speaker 2: through it, man. But I feel like they're going to
30:32
Speaker 2: do something at the deadline. They got to shake something up.
30:34
Speaker 2: They gotta get they need pitching. You would think they
30:36
Speaker 2: would have to right like drew out of the They
30:38
Speaker 2: gotta go get Scoogle if they can. They gotta do something.
30:41
Speaker 2: Committed already, right, Like there's something too when you are
30:44
Speaker 2: somewhat pot committed that, yeah, you are gonna have to
30:47
Speaker 2: dump a couple more resources in and try to see
30:49
Speaker 2: if you can go through. Saint Louis would be a
30:53
Speaker 2: fascinating one because I couldn't see them really putting chips
30:56
Speaker 2: into the middle of the table.
30:58
Speaker 3: They're like the Brewers, like, our team's on the floor.
31:00
Speaker 3: It's true.
31:00
Speaker 2: Our team's out there and we're just getting better and
31:02
Speaker 2: we're young, so we'll we'll see how it rolls. But
31:06
Speaker 2: they have a little bit of found money with them
31:08
Speaker 2: in Saint Louis, because I don't think anybody was really
31:10
Speaker 2: anticipating that they were going to be here. The young
31:12
Speaker 2: kids are ahead of schedule a little bit. Yeah, and
31:14
Speaker 2: Jordan Walker is finally taken off like they kind of
31:16
Speaker 2: thought he would. I mean, he's the top five probably
31:18
Speaker 2: an MVP balloting.
31:21
Speaker 3: They've waited for him to come around. So what's what's
31:23
Speaker 3: the timetable on Schooble's return.
31:26
Speaker 2: He had he had a real good Minor League outing.
31:29
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, I think that was his first,
31:31
Speaker 2: so maybe one more and then he gets out there.
31:34
Speaker 2: He should be pitching by the end of the month
31:36
Speaker 2: in the big leagues and what is it? Two starts
31:39
Speaker 2: and then somebody pounces on him. I don't know, because
31:41
Speaker 2: I think long gone are kind of the days where
31:44
Speaker 2: you could Doug Melvin it and say, yeah, we will
31:46
Speaker 2: throw you a little bit better selection of the players
31:48
Speaker 2: to be named later. But I want him today. We're
31:51
Speaker 2: not We're not gonna wait for three weeks to be
31:52
Speaker 2: able to get him on. Now what is it August third?
31:55
Speaker 2: This year? Thing is though, look at the Guardians have
31:57
Speaker 2: an injury, a big injury.
31:59
Speaker 3: That happened over the weekend.
32:00
Speaker 2: And then like, I don't think the Tigers are necessarily
32:03
Speaker 2: out of it yet. Really they look buried, but they're
32:05
Speaker 2: they're still room. This just happened to them last year. Yeah, right,
32:08
Speaker 2: Like I think that that trauma would definitely also bode
32:12
Speaker 2: to them. Are we really buying the White Sox? Like
32:14
Speaker 2: they can look up and say, are we really buying
32:16
Speaker 2: these guys? We can we can go and chase those
32:18
Speaker 2: ones down at the Potawatomi Sports But Brewers a resounding
32:22
Speaker 2: and l Central favorite now minus five hundred, but the
32:25
Speaker 2: Cubs come in right behind at nine to one. Cardinals
32:27
Speaker 2: will be twelve to one. They don't have since it's midweek.
32:31
Speaker 2: Usually on Monday they'll resurface all of their teams to
32:35
Speaker 2: just make the playoffs odds and I would assume that
32:38
Speaker 2: the Cubs are still a little bit higher up than
32:40
Speaker 2: where Saint Louis would find themselves on those wildcards.
32:43
Speaker 3: But the Brewers, it seems like they're getting a contender
32:45
Speaker 3: every series. I mean, you get clean. They go to
32:48
Speaker 3: Atlanta next, right, this is a meet of the schedule.
32:51
Speaker 3: This is a meaty part of the schedule, Drew, they get,
32:53
Speaker 3: oh yeah, this run against Atlanta. Don't sleep on what
32:56
Speaker 3: they got against the Reds. There's seven in there, and
32:59
Speaker 3: that might be saying Cincinnati season and what is it
33:02
Speaker 3: three at.
33:03
Speaker 2: Home Cubs at the end of the month, those will
33:06
Speaker 2: be rocking. Those will be rocking days there. And the
33:09
Speaker 2: Brewers are they entered one of these stretches, which is
33:12
Speaker 2: why they wanted that extra inning on of Ashby last night,
33:15
Speaker 2: because they were just entering a stretch where they're like,
33:17
Speaker 2: what seventeen or eighteen games in seventeen days or something
33:19
Speaker 2: like that. And I'll be interested to see they bumped
33:21
Speaker 2: Miserowski for the one day to line him up against
33:24
Speaker 2: that land on Friday.
33:25
Speaker 3: So both Miserowski and Harrison are thrown against the Braves.
33:28
Speaker 2: And could they do that again for that Cub series?
33:31
Speaker 2: Would it time out because they would? Well, they would
33:34
Speaker 2: then be he would be pitching on back to back
33:36
Speaker 2: Fridays because they would they would not. They would have
33:39
Speaker 2: hit an off day on Thursday. He's slated right now
33:42
Speaker 2: to pitch the third game in Cincinnati. Bump him back
33:46
Speaker 2: at Miserowski and Harrison, the Cubs, sorry about it, A
33:50
Speaker 2: good luck, good luck seeing that, by the.
33:52
Speaker 1: Way, a school pitch on Saturday. I guess I missed
33:54
Speaker 1: that he's back, yea, yeah, I must have missed that
34:00
Speaker 1: on I don't know, you know, you all of us did.
34:04
Speaker 3: Yeah.
34:04
Speaker 2: I thought I remembered him having a positive outing, but
34:06
Speaker 2: I thought it was in the minor league.
34:08
Speaker 3: Not to change sports, but did you see that was
34:10
Speaker 3: like a rehab thing? Yeah, speaking of chicag speaking of Cubs,
34:13
Speaker 3: Speaking of Chicago, Wisconsin Green Bay rivalries. Did you see
34:16
Speaker 3: who Caleb Williams had on his Mount Rushmore quarterbacks?
34:19
Speaker 1: I didn't where was it? Aaron Rodgers?
34:23
Speaker 3: Let's go, well, Aaron Rodgers. Joe Montana was on there.
34:26
Speaker 3: But but he put a Rod up there.
34:29
Speaker 1: I mean, of course, I mean, why wouldn't you? Of course?
34:31
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I'm not going to get overly impressed
34:33
Speaker 1: by Caleb for knowing that really one of the best
34:36
Speaker 1: of all time, one of the best.
34:37
Speaker 3: I thought that would warran the melty ice around your heart.
34:40
Speaker 1: Now that's what he wants, that's what he wants. He
34:43
Speaker 1: wants to try and thofting me up and all. This
34:45
Speaker 1: is he top four for me as a thrower of
34:48
Speaker 1: the football.
34:49
Speaker 2: He is.
34:49
Speaker 1: I know some people don't put him there because of accomplishments.
34:52
Speaker 1: They're gonna put you know, Peyton, Manning, Montana, Brady, all
34:56
Speaker 1: those guys.
34:57
Speaker 2: For me, well, those are the three that are there,
35:00
Speaker 2: and then there's one more.
35:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, for me, it's me, Roger.
35:03
Speaker 2: Are you putting him above those guys?
35:05
Speaker 1: He's I think he was better than Montana. And I
35:08
Speaker 1: know we've talked about this. He wasn't as accomplished as Brady,
35:12
Speaker 1: but I think he threw the football better. So this
35:15
Speaker 1: is a really tough de bait because is it. Are
35:16
Speaker 1: we talking about best at the position?
35:19
Speaker 3: Yeah?
35:19
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it's hard for me to put anyone over
35:21
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Charles Rogers when he was right. So I'm
35:25
Speaker 1: calling at least.
35:27
Speaker 3: Thinking.
35:30
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, there was a lot of guys
35:32
Speaker 1: in the mix here, Marino l Way. We could go far.
35:34
Speaker 1: Obviously we could talk about you know this is We're
35:37
Speaker 1: run out of time now, so that's fun. Well played, Army,
35:40

36:19
Speaker 3: Send him in.
36:20
Speaker 2: So last night with the Guardians. I don't pay a
36:23
Speaker 2: lot of attention to the Guardians. I know they're a
36:24
Speaker 2: good club, perennial brewers and Guardians like Fana, Stephen Vote, oh,
36:29
Speaker 2: Stephen votes a great dude, one of the best dude,
36:31
Speaker 2: one of the absolute cop guys. But as I was
36:34
Speaker 2: looking at their roster last night, Uh Socni was their starter,
36:38
Speaker 2: Slade great first name, Slade Cony, and then other pictures
36:42
Speaker 2: on their roster, like they got Joey Cantillo, Uh, Daniel Espinos,
36:47
Speaker 2: you know, Matt Festa and we have tickets for Festa Italiana.
36:50
Speaker 2: Matt Festa relief relieved for them last night, even Italian beef,
36:53
Speaker 2: Like yeah, it's it was striking to me how many
36:57
Speaker 2: guys they have, Like Travis Bizana, right, that's good number
37:02
Speaker 2: one overall pick at one time, Kyle Manzarto.
37:05
Speaker 3: I'm like, this is Team Italy.
37:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, no kidding, they would Enrotio, Vinnie Pascentino needed to
37:11
Speaker 2: call these guys. I was like, holy cow, they got
37:13
Speaker 2: Team Italy here, like a whole bunch of Italian.
37:15
Speaker 1: They really do. It's funny how that works out sometimes,
37:17
Speaker 1: you know.
37:18
Speaker 2: Wild they are the quintessential brewers of the a l right,
37:22
Speaker 2: like just kind of great organization. Figure it out. And
37:26
Speaker 2: when the Council Murphy flip happened, the one thing that
37:30
Speaker 2: I was almost upset about was that it dragged a
37:32
Speaker 2: little bit longer drue just to the point where Stephen
37:35
Speaker 2: Vote got hired by the Guardians, because that's right. That
37:37
Speaker 2: would have been my fill in immediately if they would
37:39
Speaker 2: have lost counts. But it's been phenomenal. They also have
37:41
Speaker 2: David Fryer, former Brewer, came up with the Brewers. But
37:45
Speaker 2: Hoskins re Hoskins for them last night. Yeah, I think
37:48
Speaker 2: he did. I thought he was playing the nice playing
37:50
Speaker 2: the outfield. He's moving around nice. Positional versatility is what
37:54
Speaker 2: they've got. But they but in any event, the Guardians
37:57
Speaker 2: are and the Brewers, You're right, they're simpatico. They're overachieving. Oh,
38:01
Speaker 2: they'll probably win eighty one games, and then they are
38:03
Speaker 2: top of the division, winn ninety yeah I wasna say,
38:05
Speaker 2: and all of sudden they win ninety plus and people
38:07
Speaker 2: can't figure out why they're doing it or how they're
38:08
Speaker 2: doing it.
38:09
Speaker 1: But the Old County Central the.
38:10
Speaker 2: Fact, yeah, exactly, the fact that this guy Matt Festa pitched.
38:14
Speaker 2: That's funny because Miserraski pitched a gym during Polish Fest
38:17
Speaker 2: and Matt Fest and all these Italian guys, the Italian
38:21
Speaker 2: surnames on the Guardians, Well, Festa Italiana is coming up.
38:25
Speaker 2: It is your summer fest rounds and it's July tenth
38:28
Speaker 2: to the twelfth. It'll come up before you know it.
38:30
Speaker 2: And we have a four pack of tickets to go
38:32
Speaker 2: to Festa Italiana, old baby. Now, if I go to
38:36
Speaker 2: fest Italiana and I am just eating Mozzarelli sticks, that's
38:39
Speaker 2: almost half. That's that's kind of halfway right, like you
38:41
Speaker 2: gotta you gotta go all the way in a mastacholi. Yes,
38:46
Speaker 2: as many Italians club anymore. I missing the Venice Club
38:50
Speaker 2: because I love me some Venice Club with the egg plant.
38:52
Speaker 2: Oh true. That was the only place that I would
38:54
Speaker 2: eat the egg plant. Yes, my wife gets it all
38:56
Speaker 2: the time. And I was like, if it's not from
38:58
Speaker 2: the Venice Club at the summer fest around, we're not
39:00
Speaker 2: doing so four pack of tickets right now. And because
39:04
Speaker 2: Cooper Pratt made his debut and was number twelve, the
39:07
Speaker 2: Jabari Parker number, I love that. Yes, he is a twelve,
39:09
Speaker 2: pretty good number. Locally, I would say decent has been
39:12
Speaker 2: great for the Brewers as Rogers, but much better. But
39:15
Speaker 2: calling number twelve is going to win a four pack
39:17
Speaker 2: of tickets to fest Italiana. Eight seven seven seven nine
39:19
Speaker 2: four nine seven three. We're gonna give armed something to
39:22
Speaker 2: do during the top of the hour. All right, I
39:23
Speaker 2: like that he needs for the Festa Italiana tickets.
39:27
Speaker 1: It is Festa, yes, yes, well I was an old
39:30
Speaker 1: station in a former life that I worked at. The
39:32
Speaker 1: Big Voice guy called it Fiesta Italiana, and that is
39:35
Speaker 1: obviously whoops, you know, so they made fun of that.
39:37
Speaker 2: Speaking of Italians, John Tortorella not coming back to coach
39:40
Speaker 2: Billy's favorite hockey team. Get the heck out of here. Parts.
39:43
Speaker 1: All you did was get us to the Cup final.
39:45
Speaker 2: Those kind of not the only thing. D He costs
39:47
Speaker 2: one hundred grand and a second round pick because he
39:49
Speaker 2: decided he didn't want to talk.
39:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a That was a little bit of
39:53
Speaker 1: a heavy handed penalty, though, don't you think, Yeah, that
39:55
Speaker 1: was a little bit.
39:55
Speaker 2: A little bit. But listen right, control the controllable now
39:59
Speaker 2: you would have on the Cup. Congratulations, what a job.
40:02
Speaker 2: They'll they'll find somebody else, though, we'll find they'll find someone.
40:05
Speaker 2: They will fill the position. We'll find someone. Shout out
