Speaker 6: Best video game athlete Pablo Sanchez.
3:25
Speaker 1: Bald Bull. Yes, hard to beat, Hard to beat Bald Bull.
3:29
Speaker 9: It was also in the It was also in the
3:31
Speaker 9: time where like video game characters had had real, like
3:35
Speaker 9: episonic television shows, which actually in the content world today
3:39
Speaker 9: we could use right. I mean, we would get the
3:41
Speaker 9: yu Gi. Oh, we'd get the Pokemon shows. You'd get
3:44
Speaker 9: a bunch of offshoot different Mario try to even have
3:46
Speaker 9: themselves a show. At one particular point, I still think
3:49
Speaker 9: one of the greatest to come out of that time
3:52
Speaker 9: Carmen san Diego. I don't know if the Sprout was
3:54
Speaker 9: rocking that computer game.
3:56
Speaker 1: That one had a TV show with the Rockapella.
4:00
Speaker 8: We were I didn't know if you were, okay, I
4:02
Speaker 8: didn't know if he was in your vintage Billy.
4:04
Speaker 1: But we watched that thing every week every week.
4:07
Speaker 8: You can. Educational, Yeah, we need more of that.
4:11
Speaker 1: We need more of those.
4:13
Speaker 9: We need more opportunities for the youngsters doing rich themselves.
4:16
Speaker 9: There's a wish phone anymore? What are we doing reading nowadays?
4:19
Speaker 1: That's a good Tuesday buy or cell start. Come on
4:21
Speaker 1: there you go.
4:22
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're gonna get to some buying and selling today.
4:24
Speaker 6: We've got some Luke Bryant tickets to give away, no
4:26
Speaker 6: buying or selling needed.
4:27
Speaker 1: We're given those away after seven o'clock.
4:30
Speaker 6: But today we begin because we're in this We're in
4:34
Speaker 6: this kind of this purgatory before Super Bowl week, right,
4:39
Speaker 6: it's like, what do you got?
4:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, we got to follow the box. We found
4:42
Speaker 1: some college hoop.
4:43
Speaker 6: Marquette's been disappointing those and down Bucks have been just
4:48
Speaker 6: a train wreck, and Giannis is out and when we
4:50
Speaker 6: got the All Star break coming up soon, But right now,
4:54
Speaker 6: it's just we're focused on this coaching carousel in the
4:56
Speaker 6: National Football League, and I don't think we're going out
4:58
Speaker 6: on any shake branch here to say that the remaining
5:03
Speaker 6: jobs will be filled this week if not by tomorrow.
5:09
Speaker 1: Yeah.
5:09
Speaker 9: Well, and I was wondering, Drew, how much of the
5:12
Speaker 9: jobs that end up getting filled or we will start
5:15
Speaker 9: to know who will ultimately fill them. If they're going
5:18
Speaker 9: to try to hire somebody off one of the two
5:20
Speaker 9: staffs that is coaching in the Super Bowl.
5:22
Speaker 1: Maybe Clean Kubiak ends up with one of these gigs.
5:24
Speaker 9: But it's like a Kyle Shanahan deal when he was
5:26
Speaker 9: with Atlanta and they tell everybody you know that he's
5:28
Speaker 9: going to be the guy, but you can't be formally introduced.
5:31
Speaker 1: But I'm with you.
5:32
Speaker 9: I would probably say, in the next thirty six hours,
5:34
Speaker 9: we're gonna get most We're gonna get the head jobs solved,
5:38
Speaker 9: and then it starts the full domino that we started
5:41
Speaker 9: seeing a couple of those fall in Green Bay yesterday
5:44
Speaker 9: off of the apparently top secret super special meeting that
5:49
Speaker 9: Matt Lafleur and Jeff Hafley had to discuss this whole
5:53
Speaker 9: coaching staff.
5:53
Speaker 1: Who can you take? Who can I take? Who do
5:56
Speaker 1: you want?
5:57
Speaker 9: More importantly, hey you take this guy too?
6:01
Speaker 1: What you be done? You know?
6:03
Speaker 9: Hey, hey, I'm giving you Why don't we take a
6:05
Speaker 9: little bit here?
6:06
Speaker 1: This isn't just full.
6:08
Speaker 9: One side of the lunch table is handing over and
6:11
Speaker 9: you can swap back. We could, you know, maybe maybe
6:14
Speaker 9: you help us out because as Sean Duggan leaves as
6:17
Speaker 9: well as Downard yesterday in the defensive room, it seems
6:21
Speaker 9: like there's some musical chairs and they're trying to find
6:23
Speaker 9: mister Adam stettofitch a chair without telling him, Hey, the
6:27
Speaker 9: chair that you were sitting in is now being taken
6:31
Speaker 9: by somebody else.
6:31
Speaker 8: That's a rough situation right because you think, hey, there's
6:34
Speaker 8: more jobs open, there's more staffs open, but not really.
6:37
Speaker 1: It does remind me a little bit.
6:39
Speaker 8: I mean, all these these are real people with real lives,
6:42
Speaker 8: you know, but they're being like, you know, they are
6:44
Speaker 8: little pieces on a chessboard. For both of these guys,
6:46
Speaker 8: like you want this guy. It does feel like a
6:48
Speaker 8: little bit of bubblegum. Bubble gum and a dish, you know,
6:50
Speaker 8: in the backyard when you're picking teams a little bit
6:52
Speaker 8: it's like who do you want?
6:53
Speaker 1: Who do I want?
6:54
Speaker 8: A little bit of like you know, they they're in
6:56
Speaker 8: an office with a big risk board and they're both
6:58
Speaker 8: kind of like divvying out they've got here.
7:00
Speaker 9: Like if they're playing risk, this thing's never ending.
7:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, never ending. At that point, there's no chance we're
7:05
Speaker 1: finishing this thing in the next thirty six hours. Risk
7:07
Speaker 1: Monopoly had never finished the game of either next week,
7:10
Speaker 1: we might never got to a winner. I always gypped out.
7:13
Speaker 1: It's don't have the attention span, no shot. But they are.
7:16
Speaker 8: It seems like they were working together on it, Like
7:18
Speaker 8: how often you see that. Maybe you do amongst friends.
7:20
Speaker 1: But but the NFL. Here's the thing. NFL does not.
7:24
Speaker 1: It's not it's probably.
7:25
Speaker 6: Not a rule, or it's a gentleman's agreement among owners,
7:28
Speaker 6: like the end of the league. They don't want any major
7:30
Speaker 6: announcements during Super Bowl week. Correct, you don't rock clean
7:33
Speaker 6: that up? You got this week, You've had time. Yep,
7:37
Speaker 6: you know it's or get off the pot, right. You
7:40
Speaker 6: got to just make your hires. And and there might
7:42
Speaker 6: be like you said, Billy, like somebody from one of
7:45
Speaker 6: these two staffs might be the last guy.
7:47
Speaker 1: But that's almost like that's one of the.
7:48
Speaker 6: Disadvantages of going to the Super Bowl is that if
7:51
Speaker 6: you're an assistant, or if you're striving or you want
7:54
Speaker 6: to move on to another job, you kind of got
7:56
Speaker 6: something else on your plate, and it can actually you
7:59
Speaker 6: think it would.
8:00
Speaker 9: But well, I would look no further than like Nate
8:02
Speaker 9: Schelhouse and Chris Shula, the guys in Los Angeles a
8:06
Speaker 9: week and a half ago. They were the talk of
8:08
Speaker 9: the town. They were everybody's favorite, and they were most
8:10
Speaker 9: likely Shola potentially Steelers and sheel House. He was with
8:14
Speaker 9: the Browns yesterday. He still might end up getting that job.
8:17
Speaker 9: Had like three or four different pots on the stove
8:20
Speaker 9: that he was simmering around, and now you end up
8:24
Speaker 9: losing in the NFC title game. You can still get
8:27
Speaker 9: all of your in person stuff here today, but it
8:29
Speaker 9: is as microwaved as possible. The young man in Denver,
8:33
Speaker 9: Davis Webb, who again he's like thirty one years old.
8:36
Speaker 9: Thirty thirty one years old, Josh Allen's best friend, apparently
8:39
Speaker 9: very much in for the Bills job. Also Raiders. My
8:42
Speaker 9: man flew across the country yesterday for the two different
8:45
Speaker 9: interviews because they're like, hey, we're at this point.
8:48
Speaker 1: We would like to get you in.
8:49
Speaker 9: The building in house, but it's gonna have to be
8:52
Speaker 9: truncated because we have to make this decision pretty soon.
8:53
Speaker 2: Here.
8:54
Speaker 8: Well, they started time with Philip Rivers, you know what
8:56
Speaker 8: I mean?
8:56
Speaker 6: I guess, so yeah, yeah, reading the tea out in
9:01
Speaker 6: the desert. Packers get Jonathan Gannon, So that story is,
9:04
Speaker 6: you know, booming out there. We're talking about Jonathan Gannon
9:06
Speaker 6: is going to be the Packers' defensive coordinator and the
9:10
Speaker 6: Cardinals in their search are doing a second day interview
9:14
Speaker 6: and they held him over for dinner last night with
9:16
Speaker 6: Micha Lafleur, brother of Matt Lafleur, and I gotta say
9:21
Speaker 6: m hmm. If you ask me right now, I know nothing.
9:23
Speaker 6: I've barely followed the Cardinals search. I barely even am
9:26
Speaker 6: aware of the Cardinals other than they played the Packers
9:28
Speaker 6: this year and they got Kyler Murray in a couple
9:30
Speaker 6: of decent players. But they've been underperforming, underachieving, and underwhelming
9:33
Speaker 6: for decades and decades. Yes, but I think they're going
9:38
Speaker 6: to hire Mike Lafleur. Why why do you think that, Billy?
9:42
Speaker 6: What's my where's my logic on that? That they're going
9:44
Speaker 6: to hire Mike Lafleur.
9:46
Speaker 9: Because it would indicate that with the rams across the chest,
9:50
Speaker 9: that he's probably eaten at the breakfast table with Sean McVay.
9:53
Speaker 1: So that means you get a head coaching job. Your
9:55
Speaker 1: logic is not flawed.
9:56
Speaker 6: But I think it's more basic than that that they've
9:59
Speaker 6: just fired Jonathan Gannon, whose specialty was what oh, the defense?
10:03
Speaker 6: And then the other finalists are apparently Anthony Campanelli with
10:07
Speaker 6: Packers roots from the Jags and uh defense and the
10:10
Speaker 6: other guy, Anthony Weaver defense. So like when you just
10:14
Speaker 6: fired a defensive guy, we're going to the offensive.
10:17
Speaker 1: Absolutely, we always go with what we didn't have before,
10:20
Speaker 1: because that's going to solve our problems. It is like,
10:22
Speaker 1: we gotta flip this thing around, this thing around.
10:24
Speaker 6: If we went if we had a disciplinarian coach, we're
10:27
Speaker 6: going to the player's gentle coach. We had a gentle
10:29
Speaker 6: coach while they walked all over and we got to
10:30
Speaker 6: get a sergeant drill sergeant in here.
10:32
Speaker 1: We always go the opposite.
10:34
Speaker 6: And so that's like I see that and it's like, oh,
10:36
Speaker 6: Michael Floor, they're not letting him out of the building.
10:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, a second day, he let's go.
10:40
Speaker 9: Probably a brunch in Paradise Valley, nice little spot here
10:43
Speaker 9: today that they'll they'll lock everything down, and maybe an
10:46
Speaker 9: old town.
10:46
Speaker 6: This is a it's a it's a broader topic. The
10:48
Speaker 6: Nicolay Lottock I'm talking text on never closes. But if
10:51
Speaker 6: you want to hit usup during our show between five
10:53
Speaker 6: and eight, eight seven, seven, seven, nine four one ninety
10:55
Speaker 6: seven three, I would love if somebody would record, Like
10:59
Speaker 6: if some of these interviews are on zoom, some of
11:01
Speaker 6: them are in person, I don't know if that holds
11:03
Speaker 6: more weight. Like if if you do a zoom interview
11:06
Speaker 6: and then somebody else flies in, do you think, oh, well,
11:08
Speaker 6: he's getting the job.
11:09
Speaker 1: I got no chance.
11:10
Speaker 6: Is that a disadvantage now in the in the modern environment,
11:13
Speaker 6: or is it like online dating where you know the
11:17
Speaker 6: dating apps, like that's how people know.
11:19
Speaker 9: I was gonna say, I don't know that you can
11:21
Speaker 9: catfish that much in a seven hour interview, right, Like,
11:23
Speaker 9: so whether you're on zoom or not. Cause Joe Brady
11:27
Speaker 9: was interviewing for the Raiders job on Sunday. Well, there's
11:30
Speaker 9: apparently a pretty important person that was something tells me.
11:35
Speaker 1: Not in Las Vegas on Sunday.
11:37
Speaker 9: Okay, the guy that apparently is heading the search named
11:40
Speaker 9: Tom Brady, who was calling the game in Seattle. So
11:43
Speaker 9: while the interview is going on, So Drew, I'm with you,
11:46
Speaker 9: Like if I'm Joe Brady, I'm looking around saying, all right,
11:49
Speaker 9: so I guess I better hope that I get one
11:51
Speaker 9: of these other gigs because I'm definitely not getting that one.
11:53
Speaker 9: Decided to schedule it while a man is four states
11:57
Speaker 9: away and we're doing this online.
11:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's true.
12:01
Speaker 8: Too, Like it could be a situation where you know,
12:03
Speaker 8: it's easy of scheduling and we want to talk to
12:05
Speaker 8: you so bad even if you can't fly, you can
12:07
Speaker 8: spin it, you know, even if you can't fly, and
12:09
Speaker 8: we need to talk to you so or.
12:11
Speaker 6: We need to check a box and say that we
12:13
Speaker 6: did our due diligence and like you're you're a lower
12:15
Speaker 6: tier on our priority list. But I don't know, like
12:18
Speaker 6: Matt Lafleure might have been a lower tier on the
12:20
Speaker 6: Packers party list and then he blew them away and
12:22
Speaker 6: then you're like, this is the guy last Murphy was,
12:25
Speaker 6: that's the guy m hm. That's like we don't need
12:27
Speaker 6: anymore and that's it. So I'm fascinated by this. I
12:29
Speaker 6: wish somebody would release an interview because when you're if
12:31
Speaker 6: you're interviewing in a cycle and you're in the spin
12:33
Speaker 6: cycle for like four or five different teams, I don't
12:36
Speaker 6: know how you prepare for that. How do you even
12:38
Speaker 6: seem fluent on their personnel? These guys do know the league,
12:41
Speaker 6: but unless you played somebody that year and you did
12:43
Speaker 6: the deep dive, you're kind of just bluffet and you're
12:46
Speaker 6: talking about general concept.
12:48
Speaker 1: You're throwing a lot.
12:49
Speaker 9: Of stuff out there, and I would wonder how much
12:52
Speaker 9: of that background. It's a great point that you bring
12:54
Speaker 9: up on on your own players. The team that you're
12:57
Speaker 9: interviewing for their players. I've always thought of it from
13:00
Speaker 9: the team perspective. Why not interview everybody? Why not grab
13:03
Speaker 9: as many interviews and as many conversations as possible. It's
13:07
Speaker 9: the only time I can get an objective viewpoint from
13:10
Speaker 9: my competition. What you think of my team? What you
13:13
Speaker 9: think of my defense? What do you think of the
13:15
Speaker 9: players you have right here? How would you utilize these guys?
13:17
Speaker 9: How would you make Keyshawn Nixon not jump away from
13:19
Speaker 9: a guy on third down at the goal line? How
13:21
Speaker 9: do you find a way to emotionally, intelligence wise be
13:26
Speaker 9: able to drive home the fact that you don't catch
13:28
Speaker 9: the ball on fourth down twenty seven yards down the
13:30
Speaker 9: field like the hit run and cover things that Leroy
13:34
Speaker 9: Butler said, How are you able to institute that with
13:37
Speaker 9: a kway Walker and a Edrian Cooper, Or if we
13:40
Speaker 9: add in Tyron Hopper and he's the starter, how are
13:41
Speaker 9: you moving those guys around? So I think that part
13:43
Speaker 9: of the conversation is definitely a piece, But I imagine
13:48
Speaker 9: there's some of Hey, we understand that you're gonna car
13:52
Speaker 9: wash these.
13:53
Speaker 1: Things four or five times.
13:54
Speaker 9: There's probably a little bit of a grace period if
13:56
Speaker 9: you accidentally say somebody else's number three wide receipt ether,
14:00
Speaker 9: if you're Mike Laflora in this interview and all of
14:02
Speaker 9: a sudden you're talking about Scotty Miller, like, hey man, that.
14:04
Speaker 1: Was yesterday with the Steelers. That's That's what I'm wondering
14:07
Speaker 1: about that.
14:07
Speaker 6: And and then what are the generalities, like where do
14:09
Speaker 6: you see yourself in five years having my fifth straight
14:12
Speaker 6: Super Bowl parade?
14:13
Speaker 1: Yeah?
14:13
Speaker 6: You like on your private jet. Do they ask those
14:17
Speaker 6: type of questions? Anced we do have a level. We
14:23
Speaker 6: have a little window with the combine and the stuff
14:27
Speaker 6: they ask guys that are coming out before the draft,
14:29
Speaker 6: and it's like that can be really weird, like some
14:32
Speaker 6: of those those questions, like the personality stuff that they're
14:35
Speaker 6: diving into.
14:35
Speaker 1: Is it get to that level?
14:37
Speaker 6: Is it more about when you when you're it's so
14:40
Speaker 6: uh insular a little bit like everybody's worked with somebody
14:43
Speaker 6: like you guy, A little bit like the radio industry
14:46
Speaker 6: like oh you know that guy, I know that guy,
14:47
Speaker 6: and like I like that guy that It's a little
14:49
Speaker 6: bit like any industry where there's you know, that kind
14:52
Speaker 6: of crossover and you're working competing companies maybe and this
14:56
Speaker 6: is the way we did this, and we did this, there's.
14:58
Speaker 8: Usually analogy of these guys by these people already, as
15:00
Speaker 8: everyone knows each other.
15:01
Speaker 1: It's not like if someone comes off the street and
15:02
Speaker 1: with the resume, you have somebody in your building that
15:05
Speaker 1: knows the guy or his or.
15:07
Speaker 6: Like like you know with Lafleur, it's like, I'm sure
15:11
Speaker 6: Michael Lafleur is getting advice from Matt and just the
15:14
Speaker 6: way that Matt advised McVeigh and.
15:18
Speaker 9: Raheem and all those guys that have ended up getting jobs.
15:20
Speaker 9: And also I think there's something to some of the uh.
15:23
Speaker 9: You know, there's like three agents that are representing most
15:27
Speaker 9: of these coaches A good point, so you're able to
15:29
Speaker 9: discuss a lot of this stuff.
15:30
Speaker 10: Uh.
15:31
Speaker 9: And and that's where I think more of it, Drew,
15:33
Speaker 9: is probably who's on your staff than what you think
15:35
Speaker 9: of the team, right, like who are you able to
15:38
Speaker 9: bring in? Who are we going to have? And you know,
15:40
Speaker 9: for Arizona, for Michae Lafleur, I saw it. And because
15:44
Speaker 9: you're spot on on the flip flipping onto the other
15:46
Speaker 9: side of the coin offense to defense and also to
15:49
Speaker 9: me was like, hey, we're gonna give this Kyler Murray
15:50
Speaker 9: thing one last chance and then we're throwing them out.
15:54
Speaker 9: We're gonna give it one chance, double secret probas this
15:58
Speaker 9: is our last This is your last chance, Bob, and
16:00
Speaker 9: we're gonna bringing the offensive coach, give you one last gasp,
16:02
Speaker 9: and if it doesn't work, then we'll go and find
16:04
Speaker 9: somebody else in the top five of the draft. But
16:07
Speaker 9: you you find teams that are trying to get there's
16:10
Speaker 9: so much incestuous nature to it, like you mentioned, but
16:14
Speaker 9: it comes back to who have you worked with? Who
16:17
Speaker 9: do you know? And a lot of times that Packers
16:21
Speaker 9: fans aren't gonna like to hear this. The last name
16:23
Speaker 9: is gonna help Mike Lafleur get one of these jobs
16:25
Speaker 9: more than it's gone hurt.
16:26
Speaker 1: That's true. I think that last name right, he was
16:32
Speaker 1: drinking from the fountain of the McVeigh, you know.
16:35
Speaker 6: Sparkling spring right, serious that and you're in the division
16:39
Speaker 6: right and you got to be you know, Oh, he's
16:41
Speaker 6: got some intel over there.
16:42
Speaker 1: He's gonna help us, like forty on us.
16:44
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, there's moments there were Michael Bitwell's looking around
16:47
Speaker 9: saying I want that guy, and then I'm wondering, like.
16:50
Speaker 1: Don't pay him anything.
16:51
Speaker 6: Okay, So McCarthy to Pittsburgh. He walks in like and
16:54
Speaker 6: it's just such a great Like. First of all, they're
16:56
Speaker 6: looking for a guy they've always gone with younger guys historic.
17:01
Speaker 1: And then he's a Pittsburgh guy and they lean into that.
17:04
Speaker 6: And then the fan base goes nuts and they have
17:06
Speaker 6: to put out a statement saying, look, look what he's
17:07
Speaker 6: done with quarterbacks, and like he's gonna be our guy.
17:10
Speaker 1: Like they have to kind of calm the waters.
17:11
Speaker 9: Has there been one team that's been happy with anything
17:14
Speaker 9: that's come out about there?
17:15
Speaker 8: There's been no I make the case, no fan base
17:18
Speaker 8: in the NFL actually that's actually been happy for most
17:21
Speaker 8: of the year for the last two years. I mean right,
17:25
Speaker 8: I mean, I know there are teams now that are winning,
17:27
Speaker 8: so obviously Patriots fans are happy and Seyawks fans are happy.
17:29
Speaker 1: But this is a good example. No fan base is
17:32
Speaker 1: ever happy.
17:33
Speaker 8: But the thing is that everyone those voices are all
17:36
Speaker 8: given a platform now because the social media is feels
17:39
Speaker 8: there's so much.
17:39
Speaker 1: But it's like they like they got to respond to it.
17:41
Speaker 6: And Packers fans are a perfect example because they're like
17:44
Speaker 6: Jonathan Gannett, right exactly, yes, right, yeah, exactly, and and
17:48
Speaker 6: it you know who was excited, like Jeff who the
17:51
Speaker 6: coach at BC what I think he comes in, you
17:54
Speaker 6: see a press, comes say oh I like this guy,
17:55
Speaker 6: and then you watch his defense you go, oh, okay,
17:57
Speaker 6: We've got a lot of friends.
17:58
Speaker 1: We even have a lot of friends know that we've
18:00
Speaker 1: worked with Dinner.
18:01
Speaker 8: Dolphins fans that were texting me, they're they're how upset
18:04
Speaker 8: they were with them, Jeff Affley higher, They're like, this
18:06
Speaker 8: guy's done nothing.
18:07
Speaker 1: What's the point of this? What a terrible high? What
18:09
Speaker 1: I'm saying.
18:10
Speaker 9: I mean, everybody's on a now. It was baked in.
18:12
Speaker 9: Even Ravens fans. They get the number one guy in
18:14
Speaker 9: minter and they're like, well, what we have we have
18:17
Speaker 9: an MVP quarterback here and go.
18:18
Speaker 1: With a defense? Right, what do we know? What? What
18:20
Speaker 1: are we doing? Yeah?
18:21
Speaker 6: And I just I want to look at it again
18:23
Speaker 6: from the other side, from these guys that are interviewing
18:25
Speaker 6: and you're interviewing for multiple jobs and you want one
18:27
Speaker 6: of them, and you're just trying to put your best
18:29
Speaker 6: foot forward. There are probably if you're interviewing for five jobs,
18:32
Speaker 6: you have an order of.
18:33
Speaker 1: The ones you want.
18:34
Speaker 6: You absolutely I want this one, and there are some
18:37
Speaker 6: I'm wondering, like I'd love to get like Lafleur with
18:40
Speaker 6: some beers on the table and like talk about this
18:42
Speaker 6: part of it and say okay when you're interviewing for this.
18:45
Speaker 6: There are probably some. It's like I mentioned again the
18:47
Speaker 6: dating apps. You go for coffee with somebody, you hit
18:50
Speaker 6: it off, and then they ghost you, and it's like
18:53
Speaker 6: and then there are probably sometimes when you think, ah,
18:55
Speaker 6: and that was kind of awkward.
18:56
Speaker 1: I was kind of clumsy. I didn't come off great.
18:58
Speaker 6: And then you get the second day day doing bumble,
19:00
Speaker 6: and you get the second like it's I wonder how
19:03
Speaker 6: they read that, and if there are some like you
19:05
Speaker 6: walk out of there knowing you got the job, and
19:07
Speaker 6: then there's sometimes you walk out of.
19:09
Speaker 1: There thinking, man, I just killed it, and all of
19:10
Speaker 1: a sudden she just text you back. All you did
19:12
Speaker 1: was talk about the two thousand and one bucks on
19:15
Speaker 1: right right, and you're thinking, I thought that was great, funny.
19:18
Speaker 8: I was.
19:21
Speaker 1: Current. I tipped the you know bartender.
19:22
Speaker 8: I did all these things you're supposed to do and
19:24
Speaker 8: all these podcasts are telling you to do. But it's
19:28
Speaker 8: just like any other but you know what any other
19:30
Speaker 8: any other job situation.
19:32
Speaker 1: Now everyone's saying, it's all AI anyway.
19:35
Speaker 8: So there's another thing you talk about dating. It's like
19:37
Speaker 8: another the regular job thing. It's all crazy world now.
19:40
Speaker 8: And you're right, you know, you might have an insight
19:42
Speaker 8: about how someone else perceived you or how the interview went,
19:45
Speaker 8: and it might be totally the opposite, right, it might
19:47
Speaker 8: be total opposite.
19:48
Speaker 1: Of what's going on.
19:49
Speaker 8: Meanwhile, she's section her friends saying, how weird this dude was?
19:51
Speaker 8: Why did I waste my time?
19:52
Speaker 1: Yes?
19:53
Speaker 8: And you're sitting there thinking, Man, those drinks cost a lot.
19:55
Speaker 8: You know, It's like.
20:00
Speaker 1: And you always say this, Well.
20:01
Speaker 8: It's like maybe I used the wrong emoji when I
20:03
Speaker 8: said I had a great time tonight.
20:05
Speaker 6: So they take Michael Floor to the Devil was a
20:08
Speaker 6: good one. They take MICHAELA Flour to dinner last night,
20:10
Speaker 6: and I'm sure they're going to like Mastros or someplace,
20:12
Speaker 6: or some private room at some expensive steakhouse.
20:15
Speaker 1: Does Michael Flour even like reach for the wall? Hey,
20:17
Speaker 1: you want me to get this?
20:18
Speaker 9: Yeah, you gotta try the alligator? What do you favorite?
20:23
Speaker 9: Was the Uh?
20:24
Speaker 1: That's why I still appreciate Arthur Blank.
20:27
Speaker 9: I don't know if you if you found if you
20:29
Speaker 9: followed along on their closing deal for Kevin Stefanski, took
20:33
Speaker 9: him to Arthur blank steakhouse.
20:35
Speaker 1: That's a pretty baller.
20:36
Speaker 9: Arthur Blank said, hold on, I got something to do,
20:39
Speaker 9: went back to the kitchen, picked out those four wago rabbis.
20:45
Speaker 1: Throw them. Son of a gun's on the grind.
20:48
Speaker 9: Arthur Blank prime quartered the dinner for the closing interview.
20:53
Speaker 1: How do you say no? That is so much? How
20:55
Speaker 1: do you say no?
20:55
Speaker 6: And he said, uh, hey, hey, Marcel, go downstairs and
20:59
Speaker 6: get the the special wine.
21:02
Speaker 8: And all this to try and find the right guy
21:05
Speaker 8: that's gonna somehow win the three point game in the
21:08
Speaker 8: final minutes and get the four thousands and not miss them,
21:11
Speaker 8: because the winning and losing is such a small margin
21:13
Speaker 8: in this league anyway.
21:14
Speaker 9: And that's always you see Arthur Blank over there, just
21:17
Speaker 9: flipping around your t bone, and you're like, man, I
21:19
Speaker 9: was really hoping this would be a little bit more
21:21
Speaker 9: medium than medium.
21:22
Speaker 1: Rare. Send it back.
21:24
Speaker 6: We're gonna take a quick break when we come back.
21:27
Speaker 6: We met, or well kind of, we had a little interview.
21:30
Speaker 6: We had a little first date with the newest Brewers.
21:33
Speaker 6: Yesterday they met with the media Jet Williams and Brandon Sprote,
21:37
Speaker 6: and we're gonna spin through some of that conversation that
21:40
Speaker 6: they had yesterday.
21:41
Speaker 1: We're gonna play a little okay stop.
21:43
Speaker 6: I love that with the zoom call that was conducted
21:45
Speaker 6: with local reporters and you get to get a little
21:48
Speaker 6: taste and you get to meet the newest members of
21:50
Speaker 6: the Brewers who are going to be rooming together in
21:52
Speaker 6: spring training.
21:54
Speaker 9: They know we will do that when we come to
21:56
Speaker 9: your comfort zone, young men, you can win.
21:58
Speaker 6: Luke Bryant tickets after son't We got Dolph coming in
22:01
Speaker 6: and he's our halftime reporter.
22:02
Speaker 1: Uh, it's gonna be a fun day here. Let's huddle up.
22:04
Speaker 6: You're listening to the huddle on Fox Sports Radio was
22:07
Speaker 6: oh wow before he went to Unsportsmanlike and bab Chick
22:12
Speaker 6: and the Hammondola Guy or whatever.
22:14
Speaker 1: The dude's names.
22:15
Speaker 8: All of podcasts out there. Now, you guys are wondering
22:17
Speaker 8: what we're running out of names. I think we're running
22:18
Speaker 8: out of names.
22:19
Speaker 1: We don't know.
22:20
Speaker 9: You go to dudes on Dudes and I think we're
22:21
Speaker 9: just getting good.
22:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we might just be getting good Dudes
22:26
Speaker 1: on Dudes is playing at a CD theater in the.
22:30
Speaker 8: That's straight to we're running we're running out of singular Yeah,
22:33
Speaker 8: we're running out of singular words that are sort of
22:35
Speaker 8: like intense and impactful but sort of not that that
22:40
Speaker 8: are not podcast titles like intimidated or unintimidated or words.
22:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, you really do.
22:48
Speaker 9: Just have to put a prefects at the beginning of
22:50
Speaker 9: whatever work, and and it adds such a different unfiltered.
22:54
Speaker 1: Ye holy cow. Oh there you go, and we're talking.
22:57
Speaker 1: Unindoctrinated would be a good one thing, Like.
23:00
Speaker 9: I still think Armansarian filtered would be a podcast filtered
23:04
Speaker 9: we got.
23:04
Speaker 8: Interested the pendulum swings just like coaching searches instead of
23:07
Speaker 8: it filtered the likable.
23:10
Speaker 1: Like you know, you want to hear somebody tell me
23:12
Speaker 1: the company line. Yeah exactly.
23:13
Speaker 6: You'll never top the three Army gos.
23:18
Speaker 1: Never, And it never happened. But maybe one day we'll
23:20
Speaker 1: bring that thing back. Maybe I should. I thought it
23:22
Speaker 1: was a typo the first time I saw it.
23:24
Speaker 8: We were big in Pasadena, yeah right, and and parts
23:30
Speaker 8: of uh yeah, uh surrounding l A.
23:32
Speaker 6: All right, so we're we've been talking about the coaching
23:35
Speaker 6: thing and getting to know the coaches and this process
23:37
Speaker 6: because the carousel is gonna stop.
23:39
Speaker 1: We think this week all the coaching vacancies of the field.
23:42
Speaker 6: Uh, the Packers losing two defensive coaches, that's not really
23:46
Speaker 6: a reason to sweat because Jonathan Ganzic bringing some dudes
23:48
Speaker 6: with him. Yeah, like they got one of the guys,
23:50
Speaker 6: this guy Nick Raylis, I think it is his linebackers coach,
23:53
Speaker 6: was has been with him in Philly, took him from
23:55
Speaker 6: Philly to Arizona and now he was going to take
23:57
Speaker 6: Hi from.
23:57
Speaker 9: Arizona degree and he was the one that was calling
23:59
Speaker 9: the defense and I think this is gonna be important
24:00
Speaker 9: where he says, hey, by the way, I'm gonna call
24:02
Speaker 9: the defense. Now, clearly it didn't work all that Well,
24:05
Speaker 9: you coach your linebackers, and we got a couple of
24:07
Speaker 9: fun ones for you to coach. This one dug In
24:10
Speaker 9: that you mentioned was with Halfley at BC there for
24:12
Speaker 9: a while before and I think came with him from
24:15
Speaker 9: the Niners or had like some they were together or
24:18
Speaker 9: Ohio State. So they've been together for for a long time.
24:21
Speaker 9: And the downerd one people will be a little down
24:24
Speaker 9: pardon the pun on it because he's a good, young,
24:27
Speaker 9: exciting coach.
24:28
Speaker 1: He's been there a while, right, yes, right.
24:30
Speaker 9: So, like I guess to me, it's not too surprising,
24:33
Speaker 9: and this would be one of those situations where if
24:36
Speaker 9: you're gonna hire and I know that this was a
24:39
Speaker 9: little bit uh contentious, a little back and forth Tom
24:42
Speaker 9: Silverstein Spoon was getting after it with people in the
24:44
Speaker 9: comments last night on Twitter, which something is.
24:46
Speaker 1: Something special to see when he does, you know, always
24:49
Speaker 1: here for it.
24:49
Speaker 9: When Spoon, he's gonna start hitting replies, right, that is
24:52
Speaker 9: gonna you're gonna start getting some good stuff. Because his
24:54
Speaker 9: question was why not just interview Jim Leonard? Why why
24:59
Speaker 9: not just a little bit? And I don't know how
25:02
Speaker 9: in demand this guy was. Is he really in that demand?
25:04
Speaker 9: It sounds like Gannon had a couple of different offers.
25:06
Speaker 9: We don't know those for sure. I don't know that
25:08
Speaker 9: we ever will. But if somebody's in demand, you're not
25:11
Speaker 9: getting them by saying, hey, by the way, you're gonna
25:13
Speaker 9: keep all of our assistance all right, Like, so there
25:16
Speaker 9: were going to be some awkward conversations, whether there were
25:19
Speaker 9: defection de factions down to Miami Drew right or not.
25:23
Speaker 9: There were gonna have to be some weird ones because
25:25
Speaker 9: he's not just gonna walk in here and coach with
25:27
Speaker 9: a bunch of guys that he's never coached with before.
25:28
Speaker 6: Absolutely, that's how it works, all right. We have two
25:31
Speaker 6: new Brewers, brandon' sprote Jet Williams. They were on a
25:35
Speaker 6: zoom yesterday. We want to listen to some of this
25:37
Speaker 6: and we will Uh this was good play a little Okay,
25:39
Speaker 6: stop with it if you will, if you got any
25:41
Speaker 6: comment to make to say, okay, stop, Armn's gonna stop
25:43
Speaker 6: the tape and we will hear what what some of
25:46
Speaker 6: what the two newest Brewers had to say during their
25:49
Speaker 6: first availablity they getting to know you pressure that they
25:52
Speaker 6: had get some.
25:53
Speaker 1: Hunter questions out here. Yeah, absolutely, let's roll at armin.
25:56
Speaker 11: I guess, Brandon, when you look at the types of
25:59
Speaker 11: pitch that will be going for this team, starting rotation
26:04
Speaker 11: and jet, when you look at some of the tools
26:06
Speaker 11: and profiles of the guys in their lineup, just generally,
26:10
Speaker 11: what do you think about your fit with this club?
26:13
Speaker 11: You know, from our advantage, it looks like you sort
26:16
Speaker 11: of were kind of made for this organization. And I'm
26:18
Speaker 11: wondering if that struck you.
26:19
Speaker 3: At all, you can go first, Brandon.
26:24
Speaker 12: I think a lot of the players with the Bruish
26:26
Speaker 12: organization is just people just go go work every single
26:30
Speaker 12: day and keep their head down, you know, really not
26:34
Speaker 12: much to it, just constantly grinding through the good and
26:38
Speaker 12: the bad. That's something that I think I have in
26:42
Speaker 12: common with that.
26:43
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think just look, I kind of okay, stop,
26:46
Speaker 8: I kind of wore cliches there in ten seconds, so's
26:48
Speaker 8: it's a good start for him.
26:49
Speaker 1: That was good work from.
26:52
Speaker 3: Top to bottom of the lineup.
26:53
Speaker 13: And kind of the way they play a bunch of
26:55
Speaker 13: short guys that are a little bit scrappy, so similar
26:58
Speaker 13: to me. But now I think just the way they
27:03
Speaker 13: play the game is kind of similar to how I play.
27:05
Speaker 13: Just kind of go out there each and every day
27:07
Speaker 13: and play really really hard, you know, the ultimate goals
27:11
Speaker 13: to win, and they are pretty good at doing that
27:14
Speaker 13: obviously that you know, just coming in a different organization
27:19
Speaker 13: and everything. I think that you know, me and Brandon
27:23
Speaker 13: have a good knowledge of kind of knowing what to
27:26
Speaker 13: do of trying to help everybody win, and you know,
27:29
Speaker 13: I think that's pretty much it. Yeah, they they work
27:33
Speaker 13: real hard, so just coming in each and every day
27:35
Speaker 13: and just try to work as hard as possible.
27:37
Speaker 7: We welcome to Blake and to keep me guardy associated press.
27:40
Speaker 1: I'm just warning with Jay.
27:41
Speaker 7: You've played a number of different positions coming up a
27:44
Speaker 7: system of the Mets.
27:46
Speaker 1: What do you consider your natural position?
27:48
Speaker 5: What are you what's the feed that you've gotten the
27:50
Speaker 5: rulers about where they planning to start.
27:51
Speaker 1: You out at.
27:53
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, obviously I'm pretty comfortable at all three
27:57
Speaker 13: positions now. I think I've played so much now that
28:01
Speaker 13: they kind.
28:01
Speaker 3: Of come natural.
28:03
Speaker 13: I think for me, as long as i'm playing, I
28:05
Speaker 13: don't really care what position I have or i'm playing. Really,
28:10
Speaker 13: it's just as long as I'm on the field, just
28:11
Speaker 13: trying to help the team win. Kind of just showing
28:14
Speaker 13: up every day wherever they want to put me. I
28:17
Speaker 13: guess that day I'll work really hard to get ready
28:20
Speaker 13: at whatever position they want me to play. As of
28:23
Speaker 13: right now it's at shortstop, but you know, anything can change,
28:27
Speaker 13: so I think just kind of going into it with
28:29
Speaker 13: an open mind of wherever they want to put me,
28:32
Speaker 13: I'll play.
28:33
Speaker 10: Hey, Jet, you mentioned a little earlier, you know, kind
28:36
Speaker 10: of the crack about the height Murph likes to make
28:39
Speaker 10: a lot of jokes about that with Durban with free Lick,
28:43
Speaker 10: and Durban's been pretty open about his past experiences about
28:46
Speaker 10: how he's had to kind of overcome his height and
28:49
Speaker 10: prove to people that he can play regardless of whether
28:52
Speaker 10: he's you know, tall, short, whatever. I was wondering if
28:55
Speaker 10: that has played into your experiences as a baseball player
28:59
Speaker 10: over the year, and if you had to try to
29:01
Speaker 10: overcome that and prove to people that you can play
29:04
Speaker 10: despite your height.
29:06
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think just kind of growing up, it's always
29:09
Speaker 13: been I guess a little bit of hey is he
29:12
Speaker 13: five seven or five eight? And I think my brothers
29:16
Speaker 13: and my family kind of helped me. I think obviously
29:20
Speaker 13: everybody says what they want to say, but I think
29:24
Speaker 13: I hear it worse from my brothers and my family
29:27
Speaker 13: just joking around.
29:29
Speaker 3: So I think I'm kind of used to it by now.
29:31
Speaker 13: But yeah, I think just that's kind of what made
29:33
Speaker 13: me the player I am today, of just kind of
29:36
Speaker 13: how everybody says something and just kind of always similar
29:40
Speaker 13: to the Brewers, the way they play a little bit
29:42
Speaker 13: of chip on their shoulder and scrappy. So I think
29:44
Speaker 13: just it's gonna be a good fit.
29:46
Speaker 7: Hey, guys walking in Milwaukee. I'm with our flagship radio
29:49
Speaker 7: station on Dominic. I just wanted to ask Brandon, you know,
29:52
Speaker 7: you come up in a really stressful time for the
29:55
Speaker 7: Mets last year and make four starts that felt like
29:58
Speaker 7: every single one is for common sequence for them. Just
30:01
Speaker 7: what do you take from just getting that first taste
30:04
Speaker 7: of the big leagues to come into camp this year?
30:06
Speaker 12: Yeah, obviously, you know those first four starts, you know
30:11
Speaker 12: there's big situations, but it was fun just go out
30:14
Speaker 12: there and just.
30:15
Speaker 3: You know, do the best I can and you know,
30:17
Speaker 3: hopefully come out on top.
30:20
Speaker 12: But those four starts just help get my get my
30:23
Speaker 12: feet wet. So now I now I know how you know,
30:26
Speaker 12: how those how those games are, how the environment is,
30:30
Speaker 12: and all of it was super fun to be a
30:33
Speaker 12: part of. So going into camp you know kind of
30:38
Speaker 12: kind of I'm not I say you used to, but
30:41
Speaker 12: kind of have an idea of what it's going to
30:43
Speaker 12: be like.
30:43
Speaker 14: Thanks guys, Hunter here from nine twenty radio station here
30:47
Speaker 14: in Milwaukee. Brandon, this for you, uh, you know, knowing
30:50
Speaker 14: the track record that the Brewers have and what they've
30:52
Speaker 14: been able to do with pictures coming into the organization
30:55
Speaker 14: and the success that they've had.
30:57
Speaker 3: How is it.
30:57
Speaker 14: How excited are you to get into that invice and
31:00
Speaker 14: get to work.
31:01
Speaker 3: This spring with with this organization. No, I'm super excited.
31:04
Speaker 12: Uh you know, I talked to Merv, talked to Hook
31:08
Speaker 12: the other day, and you know, they're all they're all
31:10
Speaker 12: excited as well. I've heard great things about MRV and
31:14
Speaker 12: how he's a great players coach. I've heard great things
31:16
Speaker 12: about Hook.
31:19
Speaker 3: But I'm super excited.
31:19
Speaker 12: I mean every single player, not just the pitchers, but
31:22
Speaker 12: just some players as well. Everyone's a grinder, like you know,
31:25
Speaker 12: like Jet mentioned, everyone just goes to work every single day.
31:29
Speaker 12: Like I said, you just just keep their head down,
31:31
Speaker 12: you know, that's all we can do. So I'm super
31:33
Speaker 12: excited to be a part of it and excited just
31:35
Speaker 12: to get work, to work with those guys and you know,
31:38
Speaker 12: see what they have for me and just ask them
31:39
Speaker 12: questions and pick their brain.
31:41
Speaker 6: Ye, he's made four big league starts. He's like twenty
31:46
Speaker 6: five years old, high draft pick out of the University
31:48
Speaker 6: of Florida, right played in some big college games, played
31:50
Speaker 6: in uh some big games down the stretch for the Mets.
31:53
Speaker 1: But that puts him in the same kind of.
31:55
Speaker 6: Experience level slightly, you know, maybe a little bit less
31:58
Speaker 6: than miz Yeah, than Henderson and Chad Patrick and Dl Hall.
32:02
Speaker 1: When he came over.
32:03
Speaker 6: Right, yeah, you think of these guys that the Brewers
32:06
Speaker 6: are amassing other than what Woodruff has more starts than
32:09
Speaker 6: the rest of the rotation coming by a farm, you know.
32:11
Speaker 6: And it's like, but that's not a bad thing, necessary, No.
32:15
Speaker 9: Especially when you talk about having a long runway of
32:18
Speaker 9: opportunity and time with these young guys, right.
32:20
Speaker 1: I mean we even mentioned Aaron Ashby.
32:22
Speaker 9: Now his five year lottery ticket contract was signed a
32:25
Speaker 9: couple maybe a year or so after Freddie Peralta's. But
32:27
Speaker 9: they've counted on Ashby a long time to supply a
32:31
Speaker 9: lot of innings. Whether or not all of these guys
32:33
Speaker 9: end up making starts out there. Are Logan Henderson in
32:35
Speaker 9: there too, like a guy that we were really really
32:37
Speaker 9: excited about. And you don't know necessarily if all of
32:39
Speaker 9: them end up being starters or if they move him around.
32:42
Speaker 1: But this dude, you're talking about.
32:43
Speaker 9: Six pitches and a calm demeanor up there. That's a
32:47
Speaker 9: starting pitcher for you. I also do appreciate the fact
32:50
Speaker 9: that and I don't know if This is just some
32:52
Speaker 9: of what you know. Agents and people will let them know.
32:54
Speaker 9: It appears that the full personality of Pat Murphy's Milwaukee
32:59
Speaker 9: brewer has made the rounds across Major League Baseball. They've
33:02
Speaker 9: all mentioned grinders. Love, Jet already throwing in the short kings, right, Love.
33:07
Speaker 9: That got a lot of short guys. I'm gonna feel
33:09
Speaker 9: comfortable there. I'm not gonna feel intimidated.
33:11
Speaker 8: We must have got fifteen references about going to work
33:13
Speaker 8: there in the last five minutes.
33:14
Speaker 1: You know, we're going to work. We're all going to work.
33:16
Speaker 6: So that that culture is there in Freelick Durban, Jet Williams,
33:21
Speaker 6: Joey Ortiz, who's like five nine and three quarters.
33:24
Speaker 1: It is like the Giants, He's like the five min mites. Yeah,
33:27
Speaker 1: that's pretty classic. Yeah, all right, back to the tape Army,
33:31
Speaker 1: it's for you.
33:32
Speaker 5: It's Lance Allen from CBS fifty eight here in Milwaukeeans.
33:35
Speaker 5: We caught up with your high school coach, Jet, and
33:37
Speaker 5: he said that you will be a fan favorite.
33:40
Speaker 1: Nope, fans are, but subout it.
33:42
Speaker 5: I know you can't control that, and and I know
33:44
Speaker 5: you just laughed or whatever, But what constitutes a fan favorite?
33:47
Speaker 5: What do you do that everybody seems to love.
33:49
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think just for me, it's I tell everybody
33:52
Speaker 13: I'm still a normal human being, no matter if I'm
33:56
Speaker 13: in the.
33:56
Speaker 3: Big leagues or now that name in the minor leagues.
33:59
Speaker 13: Right now, I think, like I said, my family kind
34:02
Speaker 13: of think for me, it's just trying to stay as
34:05
Speaker 13: humble as possible because you never know when something could
34:08
Speaker 13: happen to you. And I think when I got hurt,
34:11
Speaker 13: it really kind of helped me like deep dive of
34:16
Speaker 13: what am I going to do if I don't play baseball?
34:19
Speaker 13: And I think just for me going into twenty five
34:23
Speaker 13: last year, whenever after I got hurt in twenty four,
34:26
Speaker 13: it was like just going each every day and play
34:29
Speaker 13: like at your last game, so you never know when
34:32
Speaker 13: that might be. So I think for me, it's just
34:34
Speaker 13: go out there and play as hard as I can.
34:36
Speaker 3: And like I was.
34:36
Speaker 13: Telling Murph, you're gonna have to drag me off the field,
34:40
Speaker 13: whether I'm gonna be half dead on the field, I'm
34:43
Speaker 13: still going to try to stay on the field and stuff.
34:46
Speaker 3: But no, I think, just like y'all said, just try
34:50
Speaker 3: to really play like it's.
34:52
Speaker 13: My last game every single game and play as hard
34:55
Speaker 13: as I can each and every day.
34:56
Speaker 6: Guys, there's so much crossa because he wants to play
34:59
Speaker 6: like that, and so he's already kind of declaringum, I'm
35:03
Speaker 6: kind of a dog, right, Yeah, And like look.
35:06
Speaker 1: At Turio, look at contrerasts. Guys that won't come out
35:09
Speaker 1: of the line.
35:10
Speaker 6: Of Adamas was built that way. Those are the guys
35:12
Speaker 6: you like sALS like that. That's a great examples who
35:15
Speaker 6: play through injury and stuff. Well, and that's kind of
35:17
Speaker 6: the way that is. That's part of like the Brewers culture.
35:21
Speaker 6: The tough one is too.
35:22
Speaker 9: Like I hear it, and I hear Garrett Mitchell and
35:25
Speaker 9: like and now Garrett Mitchell hasn't been able to play
35:26
Speaker 9: through some of his injuries. It's not like catastrophic injuries
35:29
Speaker 9: where you're talking about like necessary surgery immediately following uh
35:34
Speaker 9: and and you kind of have to drag him off
35:36
Speaker 9: the field every single time that he's found himself back
35:39
Speaker 9: onto the injury list.
35:40
Speaker 1: So that's gonna mesh. Well.
35:42
Speaker 9: I also do appreciate my co host on Badger post
35:45
Speaker 9: game show, Lance Allen fire and then the question of
35:46
Speaker 9: hey man, what makes everybody love you?
35:48
Speaker 5: Yeah?
35:49
Speaker 1: What a great question.
35:50
Speaker 9: Now, Lanceala has been having people lumber a long time.
35:52
Speaker 9: A lot easier for Lance allis say that, all right,
35:54
Speaker 9: Lance Allen promoter, he's gonna be able to set. We
35:57
Speaker 9: might need Lance Salen to be Jet Williams wrestling style
36:01
Speaker 9: promoter to help him answer that question next because he's
36:04
Speaker 9: just like, maybe they like me because I'm badass. But yeah,
36:08
Speaker 9: my outfit looking you see my hair? Is it cooler
36:13
Speaker 9: than anything else you've seen around here?
36:14
Speaker 10: Yeah?
36:14
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna be a hit on water stream.
36:16
Speaker 6: Speaking of your badger post game, you guys will find
36:20
Speaker 6: out the direction of your life in the fall on Saturdays,
36:23
Speaker 6: maybe the occasional Thursday or Friday, but you're gonna get
36:26
Speaker 6: the the Big ten schedule. Release is tonight for a
36:31
Speaker 6: primetime show on Big ten Network.
36:33
Speaker 9: Yeah, totally totally made for primetime. I think five Eastern,
36:36
Speaker 9: which again, like college football, I love it. They don't
36:41
Speaker 9: always make it super easy to defend.
36:43
Speaker 1: All the time, Drew.
36:45
Speaker 9: However, this is the nicest thing in the easiest they
36:48
Speaker 9: make it on fans that are gonna go to the games.
36:50
Speaker 1: They're telling you like four.
36:52
Speaker 9: Months ahead of time, ahead of the NFL telling you now,
36:54
Speaker 9: we won't tell you when the games will actually kick
36:56
Speaker 9: off six days.
36:58
Speaker 1: Ahead of and you get six days, you'll know what
37:00
Speaker 1: day is. Four months you get Yeah, yeah, we'll tell
37:02
Speaker 1: you what day. It is so funny what time. Don't
37:04
Speaker 1: worry about it. Stay tuned.
37:05
Speaker 9: It's like the cable company between eleven and seven.
37:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. You can't plan too much in advance, but
37:12
Speaker 1: we'll give you the date.
37:13
Speaker 6: Just let you know, just let you know the day.
37:15
Speaker 6: Just just block that one out. Good stuff from the
37:17
Speaker 6: newest brewers. You can read their comments and stuff. But
37:19
Speaker 6: that was the good stuff. And oh he did say,
37:22
Speaker 6: how did you get the name Jet? And there's a
37:23
Speaker 6: bunch of J's in his family and stuff. Uh, he
37:27
Speaker 6: shares a name with my dog. People are gonna think
37:29
Speaker 6: I named my dog after they.
37:30
Speaker 1: I thought about that drove.
37:31
Speaker 9: That's what I was gonna say. Jet Williams might have
37:33
Speaker 9: to be the Huddles brewer. Maybe I'm my full name
37:37
Speaker 9: of William. Yes, just throw the Williams on there.
37:40
Speaker 1: Shrew's dog.
37:41
Speaker 9: We're not gonna have many more combinations. He might have
37:44
Speaker 9: like a grandma that's Armenian. I'm just looking for something there. Yeah,
37:47
Speaker 9: we gotta get a tie in there. He's probably got
37:49
Speaker 9: a pookahell necklace. Used to have a pookahell necklace. I
37:51
Speaker 9: did for a week or probably drives a sea bring too.
37:54
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, no, nothing will ever replace the first round
37:57
Speaker 6: pick money.
37:58
Speaker 1: You might have a tesla. We're We're off and running.
38:02
Speaker 6: It is the Tuesday edition of the huntle Out, Fox
38:04
Speaker 6: Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
38:05
Speaker 12: He was.
38:07
Speaker 6: Just presiding over a fantasy camp. What a what a
38:11
Speaker 6: crew of coaches they had.
38:13
Speaker 9: I was gonna say, so, who was all in that
38:15
Speaker 9: picture that I saw?
38:16
Speaker 1: Dilly Post?
38:17
Speaker 6: I obviously saw Janks, you saw Cirillo, Rillo, Jenks, Rotino.
38:22
Speaker 6: Then you got your old old heads like Augie, Jerry, Augustine,
38:25
Speaker 6: Ed Cedar, Cory Harden.
38:29
Speaker 9: We bring cookies, Greg Vaughan, Hey guys, we got some
38:33
Speaker 9: cookies here in the break.
38:34
Speaker 1: Did you see my basting? I think my favorite was
38:38
Speaker 1: every single time we walk in. You'd walk into that
38:41
Speaker 1: locker room.
38:41
Speaker 9: Hey, fellas, how you doing a lot of milling around
38:45
Speaker 9: over there?
38:46
Speaker 1: Exactly a lot of stand up ahead, Fannie. They had Rill,
38:52
Speaker 1: Oh it was Corey Hurt, Jenks. I'm trying to think
38:56
Speaker 1: of what a good crew. Yeah it was.
38:58
Speaker 9: They had Dilly and then they got Mike Heller popping
39:01
Speaker 9: a hammy.
39:02
Speaker 1: Of course, what what a.
39:03
Speaker 9: What a tale as old as time every time I
39:06
Speaker 9: did mind did you gotta imagine the amount of icy
39:09
Speaker 9: hot that rolls through Fantasy Camp is way more than
39:14
Speaker 9: you're even seeing in the second week of camp, right before,
39:16
Speaker 9: right after they get in their first run of games
39:18
Speaker 9: and the that's what or maybe a week out from playing,
39:22
Speaker 9: the Jet Williams of the world will get themselves a
39:24
Speaker 9: big work out in the Brewers' uniform for the first
39:27
Speaker 9: two or three weeks of games. I can imagine, yes.
39:29
Speaker 6: Eight seven seven seven nine three gets you into the
39:32
Speaker 6: nicolay law dot com talking text on we just heard
39:35
Speaker 6: from new Brewers Jet Williams and Brandon Sproute who will
39:39
Speaker 6: be rooming together at spring training because they don't they're
39:42
Speaker 6: so young and early in their careers that they haven't
39:45
Speaker 6: really crossed paths with a lot of like Brewers people.
39:47
Speaker 1: When you get a guy who's when you.
39:49
Speaker 6: Acquire a guy who's thirty, it's like, oh, I played
39:51
Speaker 6: with that guy in the Miners, I played against that guy.
39:53
Speaker 1: He's from my high school.
39:54
Speaker 6: It's like they have a little bit more miles on
39:56
Speaker 6: the tires and they know more people these guys are like.
39:58
Speaker 1: Well we know each other, we don't really know anybody else.
40:01
Speaker 9: Yeah, you got some six degrees of separation where you
40:03
Speaker 9: can you can branch out a little bit.
40:04
Speaker 7: Now.
40:04
Speaker 1: I would have liked maybe Murph.
40:06
Speaker 9: Says digs into the ASU days and says, Hey, I'm
40:09
Speaker 9: gonna send you a roster and you're gonna pick out
40:12
Speaker 9: two three different opportunities and guys you want a room with,
40:14
Speaker 9: and we're gonna do a little little cross We're gonna
40:17
Speaker 9: all hang out together.
40:18
Speaker 1: But this one will work out. I like this one.
40:20
Speaker 9: Drew from the Baseball Tonight podcast Your Boy Buster Only
40:23
Speaker 9: and Hembo, producer of Greeney in the Morning and Baseball Tonight,
40:28
Speaker 9: talking about the win win feel for both the Brewers
40:32
Speaker 9: and the Mets into this deal.
40:33
Speaker 15: I mean, this is just a regenerative machine that's going
40:35
Speaker 15: to continue to regenerate. I wrote down Buster just a
40:38
Speaker 15: handful of names here. So since David Starns left Milwaukee and,
40:41
Speaker 15: by the way, signed a fifty million dollar contract to
40:43
Speaker 15: do the same job with the Mets, the Brewers have
40:45
Speaker 15: either traded or lost Craig Council, who the Cubs paid
40:49
Speaker 15: forty million dollars to manage them. Corbyn Burns, who signed
40:52
Speaker 15: a two hundred and ten million dollar deal, will Lea
40:54
Speaker 15: Damas who signed a one hundred and eighty two million
40:56
Speaker 15: dollar deal, Devin Williams, a fifty one million dollar closer,
40:59
Speaker 15: and now, of course Freddy Peralta, who is one year
41:02
Speaker 15: most away from signing a nine figure contract.
41:04
Speaker 1: The Brewers are a regenerative machine.
41:07
Speaker 15: As for the return, I think it's safe to say
41:09
Speaker 15: there's probably not an organization in ball who's better equipped
41:11
Speaker 15: to maximize the skill set of a five seven Jet
41:13
Speaker 15: Williams than Milwaukee is. Just ask Sal Freelich or Caleb
41:16
Speaker 15: Durban or Isaac Collins, and there probably isn't an organization
41:19
Speaker 15: in ball better equipped to harness the command issues that
41:21
Speaker 15: Brandon Sprod has. Just ask Jacob Mezarowski not to mention
41:25
Speaker 15: the fact that this is an organization right now that
41:27
Speaker 15: has three top fifty prospects.
41:28
Speaker 3: That play the infield.
41:30
Speaker 15: This team is absolutely stacked and is going to continue
41:32
Speaker 15: to exceed expectations. There's gonna be plenty of, you know,
