- 1:02Speaker 1: and still isn't somebody.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Cartment wouldn't be given anything.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Yes, well, I enjoy I'd enjoy the I'd enjoy the hustle,
- 1:09Speaker 1: the process, you know, everyone trying to get deals and
- 1:11Speaker 1: stuff like that, calling it.
- 1:12Speaker 2: You gotta have a good producer for that though, huh yeah,
- 1:15Speaker 2: I wouldn't know.
- 1:17Speaker 4: So we can't do it all right, buy or sell
- 1:19Speaker 4: Tuesday here, I'm the huddle that was good eight seven
- 1:21Speaker 4: seven seven Nicola dot Com Talk and Texallan.
- 1:26Speaker 3: I don't know if this is even a by yourself,
- 1:27Speaker 3: it's even a question, but buying our selling that the
- 1:30Speaker 3: n L Central is the best division and ball and
- 1:32Speaker 3: remain so, even though three of the five teams are
- 1:36Speaker 3: currently ensnared in three game losing streaks, including the Chicago Cubs.
- 1:41Speaker 4: And and the two darlings of the division, the ones
- 1:44Speaker 4: that everybody was excited for and the team that the
- 1:46Speaker 4: National shows drew desperately want to win the division. I
- 1:50Speaker 4: know the Cubs are are rightfully so the favorite with
- 1:54Speaker 4: the talent they got. Brewers have dominated it for the
- 1:57Speaker 4: last decade. But it does appear that the national outlets
- 2:00Speaker 4: really want Livy's Man's team to roll through and want
- 2:04Speaker 4: the Pittsburgh Pirates to be better than the maybe five
- 2:07Speaker 4: hundred outfit they are. They're on one of those three
- 2:09Speaker 4: game losing streaks, but they can beat anybody.
- 2:11Speaker 2: I'm with you. However, it does seem like we might
- 2:14Speaker 2: be seeing a little bit of separation.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Huh.
- 2:15Speaker 2: The market's correcting.
- 2:16Speaker 3: The Reds are still the Reds have lost three in
- 2:18Speaker 3: a row, but they're twenty four and twenty four, so
- 2:20Speaker 3: everybody in the division's five hundred are better. The Cardinals
- 2:22Speaker 3: haven't really gone away yet. The Cardinals have been shocking
- 2:25Speaker 3: the world. They got a good young core, like suddenly,
- 2:27Speaker 3: and Ali Marmal's got them playing hard and playing right,
- 2:29Speaker 3: and they got a bunch of dudes you never heard
- 2:31Speaker 3: of that are killing it.
- 2:32Speaker 1: They're still on armor. I still think they're a paper tiger.
- 2:34Speaker 1: This still on arm and watch. However, they're impressing me.
- 2:36Speaker 3: They're a half game behind the Brewers, who are a
- 2:39Speaker 3: half game behind the Cubs. So this evening with Miz
- 2:43Speaker 3: on the mound, the Brewers can accomplish the the triple whammy.
- 2:47Speaker 3: They can win the series against the Cubs, they can
- 2:50Speaker 3: move to my magical early first goal of the season
- 2:52Speaker 3: ten games over five hundred, and move in the first
- 2:55Speaker 3: place in the division. But all a Brs victory makes
- 2:58Speaker 3: all three of those things. Reaction tonight, Oh oh, talk
- 3:02Speaker 3: dirty to me.
- 3:02Speaker 2: That's good.
- 3:03Speaker 3: Start at the first place ten over. Cubs have lost
- 3:07Speaker 3: seven out of ten. Brewers are what fourteen and five
- 3:09Speaker 3: in their last nineteen did stretch.
- 3:11Speaker 2: A ball right now? Just living in that eight category
- 3:14Speaker 2: in the un differential Brewers plus sixty seven, Cubs plus
- 3:17Speaker 2: thirty six? Yeah, I love that.
- 3:19Speaker 3: And somehow the Reds being twenty four and twenty four
- 3:21Speaker 3: are minus thirty six run differential, which tells you it's
- 3:24Speaker 3: a house of cards that they're there.
- 3:26Speaker 2: The market will crumple pretty pretty quickly. Yeah, run difference.
- 3:29Speaker 3: Meanwhile, back among the tire and strip club ads, the
- 3:31Speaker 3: Padres have overtaken the indomitable Dodgers for first place in
- 3:36Speaker 3: the NL West. They moved past them by a half
- 3:38Speaker 3: game by beating them one nothing last night, and they're
- 3:40Speaker 3: just racing one four in a row.
- 3:42Speaker 4: And the Padres are just whooping teams Like I mean,
- 3:44Speaker 4: some of some of these games win that series is
- 3:47Speaker 4: no joke, no no doubt. And and they get the
- 3:50Speaker 4: head to heads now with the Dodgers and talk about
- 3:53Speaker 4: kicking the crap out of somebody, kick the crap out
- 3:54Speaker 4: of someone won nothing last night. But you talk about
- 3:57Speaker 4: that big hammer of Mason Miller at the back end.
- 3:59Speaker 4: We watched what he did to finish off the Brewers
- 4:02Speaker 4: a couple of uh one time last week.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Uh.
- 4:06Speaker 4: They're they're a legit club that an l West though
- 4:09Speaker 4: even the other the you know, the the the last
- 4:12Speaker 4: teams that you would think of of the Rockies and Giants,
- 4:15Speaker 4: Giants are going to be in potentially Drew one of
- 4:17Speaker 4: the more fascinating teams come to the deadline because it
- 4:19Speaker 4: seems like they're going to try to ship off a
- 4:22Speaker 4: lot of people, including maybe one of our one of
- 4:24Speaker 4: our old favorite friends there, Willia Domas does. He does
- 4:27Speaker 4: not seem to be painting himself in a lot of
- 4:29Speaker 4: glory there in San.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Francisca thumb now too, he's got an injury. Who do
- 4:33Speaker 2: you know that e's a shortstop?
- 4:34Speaker 1: I mean no, I know it's not gonna happen with
- 4:36Speaker 1: that contract, but boy, that wouldn't that be nice to
- 4:38Speaker 1: have Will be back in the lineup.
- 4:39Speaker 2: I think it'd be pretty nice to have. What do
- 4:41Speaker 2: you hi, why it just not Cooper proud to be
- 4:44Speaker 2: their shortstop of the future. Williams is ripping things.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Nice to have those type of numbers. I know it's
- 4:51Speaker 1: not gonna happen. Okay, I'm just saying, yeah, but you're right.
- 4:54Speaker 3: But you're Dan and west Bend is volunteering your services
- 4:56Speaker 3: on the Nicolay Lotto co I'm talking text line eight
- 4:58Speaker 3: seven seven seven. I'm buying Arman hosting a miswatch party
- 5:02Speaker 3: for the listeners tonight.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Oh, let's go. Okay, nice? Remember we used to do
- 5:05Speaker 2: those on Twitch.
- 5:07Speaker 3: You used to do twitch watch parties for the Packers
- 5:10Speaker 3: and armand would just pace and be in full armor mode.
- 5:12Speaker 4: I still, I still believe that the second screen with
- 5:16Speaker 4: Arman now while he's on the Packers radio network would
- 5:20Speaker 4: be a good might almost be better because you would
- 5:23Speaker 4: get to see Drew him in both of the best
- 5:26Speaker 4: states of panic when potentially something can be going wrong
- 5:29Speaker 4: at work and for his favorite team. That is that
- 5:32Speaker 4: if you really want to watch somebody suffer, mister Beast
- 5:35Speaker 4: has made a fortune off watch, you know, forcing people
- 5:38Speaker 4: to suffer in small rooms we can. We got to
- 5:41Speaker 4: get into a little bit of our mister Beast action
- 5:43Speaker 4: over here and start camming you up for these Packers game.
- 5:45Speaker 2: And maybe that's the future.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Billy.
- 5:47Speaker 4: I absolutely see that that that there being something there.
- 5:50Speaker 4: We could get three angles in here and really change
- 5:53Speaker 4: it up. Oh man, that would be something wild, wouldn't it.
- 5:55Speaker 4: That would be something wild.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Yeah, once upon a time that was that was the
- 5:58Speaker 1: micd up, that was the things that would be pretty interesting,
- 6:01Speaker 1: I think.
- 6:01Speaker 2: But but yeah, it have to be for the Packers.
- 6:04Speaker 2: I think.
- 6:04Speaker 1: You know, I don't think I get to that level
- 6:06Speaker 1: during Brewers regular season games. Oh games like last night
- 6:09Speaker 1: got me pretty jacked up, I'll I'll admit that. So
- 6:12Speaker 1: that'd be pretty good. Sponsored by Lexapro YEP sponsor.
- 6:15Speaker 3: Well played, well played, Well shout out to our pal
- 6:18Speaker 3: Statman Steve, who always gets up early and takes nice
- 6:21Speaker 3: pictures of the sunrise over the lake. Send us a
- 6:23Speaker 3: photo shout out Statman Steve. He's officially our statistician and
- 6:26Speaker 3: photographer of the huddle.
- 6:29Speaker 4: That's what I'm talking about. And and listen the when
- 6:31Speaker 4: when you're able to get some views like that, we
- 6:34Speaker 4: are going to celebrate them. And spotlight them rightfully. So, Drew,
- 6:38Speaker 4: are you buying or selling the fact that Oka See
- 6:42Speaker 4: may have finally met their match. As we talked about
- 6:46Speaker 4: a little bit in the first hour, they went through
- 6:49Speaker 4: the night, they went through the entire year with very
- 6:51Speaker 4: relatively little bits of conversation, even though they're trying to
- 6:55Speaker 4: repeat for the first time since the Warriors in the KD. However,
- 7:02Speaker 4: not only just Wemby from the whole cast of young guys,
- 7:05Speaker 4: I mean they were without Deer and Fox last night,
- 7:07Speaker 4: and they were undeterred and unbothered rolling in to Okac,
- 7:12Speaker 4: which was a house of horrors for other teams. Do
- 7:14Speaker 4: you buy in that this is the only team that
- 7:17Speaker 4: can threaten Golden State or to threaten Okase and potentially put.
- 7:21Speaker 2: Them back in the Yanna Sweepstakes?
- 7:24Speaker 4: Yes, because if if you're okayce I, who's saying you're
- 7:29Speaker 4: not getting into the Janna Sweepstakes unless unless this seven
- 7:34Speaker 4: foot four alien just cooks you and takes down and
- 7:38Speaker 4: you need to stop him. This night not only be
- 7:41Speaker 4: the only thing that stops their dynasty, but might actually
- 7:44Speaker 4: wake Sam Presty up to join the Yana Sweepstakes that
- 7:46Speaker 4: people have been trying to throw them into.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Absolutely Billy, and I think even if they beat him,
- 7:50Speaker 1: let's say it's a tough series they beat him, but look,
- 7:52Speaker 1: you say, hey, this is gonna be a this is
- 7:54Speaker 1: gonna be a tough battle for years to come. If
- 7:56Speaker 1: we want to keep this thing going, we have to
- 7:58Speaker 1: find the kryptonite, the count or for Wemby, and Giannis
- 8:01Speaker 1: has been a guy that's been able to check him
- 8:03Speaker 1: very well. Obviously can match up with him, So that
- 8:06Speaker 1: would be pretty interesting as the next you know, as
- 8:10Speaker 1: the next page turns on this whole honest situation, would
- 8:12Speaker 1: that be a team to get involved? I do agree
- 8:15Speaker 1: that I think that that's the one team that can
- 8:17Speaker 1: beat them. I think the Knicks would have it shot
- 8:19Speaker 1: at it, but it'd be a longer one. So I
- 8:21Speaker 1: don't want to call this the NBA Finals, but sure
- 8:23Speaker 1: does seem like it has for me. Yeah, I've been
- 8:27Speaker 1: hearing a lot of people try to say that the
- 8:29Speaker 1: Knicks would have a chance.
- 8:30Speaker 2: They have no chance. But they have no chance again
- 8:34Speaker 2: against either of these squads.
- 8:35Speaker 4: I mean, I don't think Caruso is putting up thirty
- 8:38Speaker 4: in a whole lot more games if it's okay, see,
- 8:40Speaker 4: but I don't see Brunson getting around Castle.
- 8:42Speaker 3: Much at all either, Like that that whole team is
- 8:45Speaker 3: legit that they got there. Think about watching OKC and
- 8:48Speaker 3: san Antonio. That brings into again we can say what
- 8:51Speaker 3: you want about Doc and the lack of discipline.
- 8:54Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
- 8:55Speaker 3: Those teams played d big time. Drew Yes and Wemby
- 8:58Speaker 3: is like he's hired and he's a defensive force. He
- 9:01Speaker 3: was more of an offensive force last night, but they
- 9:03Speaker 3: were They're funneling stuff towards him.
- 9:05Speaker 2: He's the defensive racer.
- 9:06Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Bucks used to do that with Brooke, but
- 9:08Speaker 3: he also has he can lock guys down for his own.
- 9:12Speaker 3: The way they guarded Sga last night was real kind
- 9:14Speaker 3: of interesting to see how they kind of tried to
- 9:17Speaker 3: keep him in check.
- 9:18Speaker 4: They were really trying to bracket him and double through
- 9:20Speaker 4: him as much. Man Dagna had some phenomenal uh sets
- 9:24Speaker 4: late to at least open him up a couple of times.
- 9:27Speaker 4: You're like, I didn't think he was going to see
- 9:28Speaker 4: the ball because of the length that the Spurs end
- 9:31Speaker 4: up having.
- 9:31Speaker 1: The thing is and that's that's the crypt is a
- 9:33Speaker 1: great guards and great drive scores like Jalen Brunson is
- 9:36Speaker 1: that guy. But when you have a guy, you know,
- 9:38Speaker 1: when you have a defensive unit like that, then the
- 9:40Speaker 1: ultimate erazer and Wenby in the angles he creates and
- 9:43Speaker 1: all the way he can erase shots at the rim.
- 9:46Speaker 1: It just changes the dynamic and changes the equation so
- 9:49Speaker 1: much for the offense.
- 9:50Speaker 2: Are you buying or selling that?
- 9:53Speaker 3: The New Orleans Pelicans should be your second favorite NBA
- 9:56Speaker 3: team if you're a Milwaukee native, because they just heard
- 9:58Speaker 3: Jamal Moseley, who we only kind of claim he lived
- 10:01Speaker 3: here till he was thirteen. Then he moved on us
- 10:04Speaker 3: tough on for us take he didn't go If he
- 10:05Speaker 3: had gone to high school here, it'd be different. Yeah,
- 10:07Speaker 3: But he moved away at thirteen, moved to California, played
- 10:10Speaker 3: college basketball at Colorado, and I was an NBA coach
- 10:14Speaker 3: second time. Now he was in Orlando, fired hired by
- 10:16Speaker 3: the Pelicans, who already have Jordan Poole and Kevon Looney.
- 10:19Speaker 4: Mm hmm, oh wow, Okay, Milwaukee south down on the Bayou.
- 10:26Speaker 4: So that's kind of a you know, well, and I
- 10:28Speaker 4: can get down with that because I can always enjoy
- 10:31Speaker 4: something New Orleans right, Like, I'm never going to be
- 10:34Speaker 4: New Orleans negative.
- 10:36Speaker 2: So any reason to enjoy them. I will do. I
- 10:39Speaker 2: also do. Are we completely done with the holiday deal? Right?
- 10:43Speaker 1: They do?
- 10:43Speaker 2: They get one more bucks pick? I think in the
- 10:46Speaker 2: Drew holiday trade. Yah, I'm not sure. Then it's officially
- 10:48Speaker 2: over forever.
- 10:49Speaker 4: Feels like, you know, because it kind of has granted
- 10:53Speaker 4: worth it right worth it to put him in a
- 10:56Speaker 4: twenty one jersey in twenty twenty one.
- 10:59Speaker 2: But I can get down with that. In the same
- 11:02Speaker 2: area you buying or selling Drew is.
- 11:03Speaker 4: We're gonna be talking a lot of packers here today
- 11:07Speaker 4: at our Packers speaker series, our Packers lunching going on
- 11:10Speaker 4: at the Harley Davidson Museum.
- 11:11Speaker 2: Excited for everyone that's gonna be there and those that
- 11:13Speaker 2: aren't missing out. Hopefully you can. Next time we will
- 11:17Speaker 2: talk a little bit of schedule, a little bit of draft.
- 11:19Speaker 2: Are you buying that New.
- 11:20Speaker 4: Orleans is actually the best road environment, the best road
- 11:23Speaker 4: game on this Packers schedule because I get, you know,
- 11:27Speaker 4: Christmas in Chicago. I do believe that's gonna be a
- 11:30Speaker 4: hot ticket Packers Bears at Lambeau right now, top five
- 11:34Speaker 4: highest resale price, the hottest ticket in in the NFL.
- 11:38Speaker 3: That's the number one game on the Packer schedule because
- 11:40Speaker 3: it's the one everybody wants because it's three twenty five.
- 11:42Speaker 2: It's not a nice uga people.
- 11:44Speaker 3: That is the hugest thing. Like these Packers' night games
- 11:47Speaker 3: are great. If you live within an hour of Lambeau,
- 11:49Speaker 3: you're close.
- 11:50Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a cool thing.
- 11:51Speaker 1: It's starting to be where people are like, you know,
- 11:53Speaker 1: less and less really ready to go to any game
- 11:56Speaker 1: that's at night.
- 11:56Speaker 2: They're getting turned to that.
- 11:57Speaker 1: But yeah, that's a that's gonna be a really big game,
- 11:59Speaker 1: obviously for the obvious reasons Rivalry three twenty five.
- 12:02Speaker 4: You minute, but as you try to find the best
- 12:05Speaker 4: road game to go to, the schedule now out for
- 12:08Speaker 4: a week. People are playing in the trips. My Pops
- 12:11Speaker 4: and his road crew are playing in the trip. They
- 12:14Speaker 4: picked New Orleans, they circled it. I was like, you
- 12:16Speaker 4: guys are gonna have no fun, no fun gonna be
- 12:19Speaker 4: had on that trip at all. But as I looked
- 12:21Speaker 4: through it, drew, I mean, yeah, Los Angeles is fun.
- 12:24Speaker 4: I don't know about on Thanksgiving Eve to go out to.
- 12:27Speaker 4: So far it kind of looks like the maybe not
- 12:31Speaker 4: only the best one, the only one that people are
- 12:33Speaker 4: really gonna be making a destination on this road schedule
- 12:36Speaker 4: could be.
- 12:38Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's something we'll be talking about for sure,
- 12:42Speaker 3: not only where the games lie and you know how
- 12:44Speaker 3: the season's gonna flow.
- 12:46Speaker 4: I am.
- 12:47Speaker 3: I'm not usually that excited about schedule, but I think
- 12:48Speaker 3: this because a lot of times you say, like last
- 12:50Speaker 3: year's like, oh, they got a tough look at early
- 12:52Speaker 3: By and they're gonna have to run the gauntlet, and
- 12:54Speaker 3: look what happened. The wheels fell off because key guys
- 12:56Speaker 3: got hurt and stuff. They have a lot of built
- 12:58Speaker 3: in time off. They have a long stretch where they
- 13:00Speaker 3: only play a couple of games. It's a weird schedule,
- 13:03Speaker 3: but I think it's in the Packers favors.
- 13:04Speaker 4: I also, yeah, right now you said it, I don't
- 13:08Speaker 4: know like how you would have picked it differently.
- 13:12Speaker 3: I mean, it seems like you got some soft opponents
- 13:14Speaker 3: during the four games when Parsons is likely out mm hmm.
- 13:18Speaker 2: Perfect timing for Bears and Cowboys right there. Same for
- 13:21Speaker 2: him to come back right for those games. It's like,
- 13:23Speaker 2: have it.
- 13:23Speaker 4: Circled for the rest of the rehab of these are
- 13:26Speaker 4: the games that you're gonna be to Andrew, you know,
- 13:28Speaker 4: like you just hit it on the head. Immediately you
- 13:30Speaker 4: look at the schedule and you look at the bad things.
- 13:32Speaker 4: Maybe it's just how we look at a lot of
- 13:33Speaker 4: things in life nowadays. We're immediately trying to think of
- 13:35Speaker 4: the negatives. I went straight to the positives on this one.
- 13:40Speaker 4: So if it's breaking the way that we're thinking, then
- 13:42Speaker 4: it must be probably the best way that they could
- 13:45Speaker 4: have built out the schedule.
- 13:46Speaker 2: I'm excited to hear what Wayne and West thing about
- 13:48Speaker 2: it here today.
- 13:49Speaker 4: But like the trip to New England, sure, I don't
- 13:52Speaker 4: know that a whole lot of people are salivating to
- 13:55Speaker 4: go out to fox Burgs was in a random place.
- 13:57Speaker 2: It's not.
- 13:58Speaker 1: The thing about New Orleans is it's so convenient walkable
- 14:01Speaker 1: for a trip. Yes, Like Foxborough is really not. LA's
- 14:04Speaker 1: not not really. I mean you're gonna be driving out
- 14:06Speaker 1: cabs all, that's for sure. And we went there for
- 14:09Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and that was my first time there,
- 14:10Speaker 1: so it totally changed my perspective and how wonderful it
- 14:13Speaker 1: was to be able to walk everywhere and be able
- 14:14Speaker 1: to be accessible to stuff.
- 14:15Speaker 2: It's just easier when you're making a tourism type trip
- 14:18Speaker 2: to do that. So, by the way, suddenly it slipped out.
- 14:21Speaker 2: I just saw online the Packers Steelers exhibition opener preseason Yes, sir,
- 14:26Speaker 2: has been set for August thirteenth, a six o'clock start,
- 14:29Speaker 2: which is a Thursday Thursday night night, which means maybe
- 14:31Speaker 2: we'll get Thursday or Friday games you know behind that,
- 14:35Speaker 2: oh for the other ones?
- 14:36Speaker 4: Okay, your head's hat, yes, yeah, and uh, Drew, I
- 14:41Speaker 4: also wonder why more teams wouldn't do that, especially towards
- 14:45Speaker 4: the end of training camp, Like you could then give
- 14:49Speaker 4: yourself an even for teams like the Packers, who the
- 14:52Speaker 4: only real quibble you could have is the Packers don't
- 14:54Speaker 4: have like a true buy right they play a week
- 14:57Speaker 4: and a half and a week and a half put
- 14:58Speaker 4: that la on a Wednesday game.
- 15:00Speaker 2: Uh, so that could be like your only equivalent with it.
- 15:03Speaker 4: Why would you not build out more of an actual
- 15:05Speaker 4: break before you get back for the first game, Like
- 15:08Speaker 4: you play that that last preseason game as early as possible,
- 15:12Speaker 4: get the boys out, get some rest, and then come
- 15:14Speaker 4: back here and be ready to roll.
- 15:15Speaker 2: And that's uh.
- 15:16Speaker 3: That last exhibition game is Mike and Matt going against
- 15:19Speaker 3: each other, and it's going They're gonna have the joint
- 15:21Speaker 3: practice before, which is more than the game because no
- 15:23Speaker 3: one's gonna play in the game.
- 15:24Speaker 4: So it's well and again, here's another reason why you
- 15:26Speaker 4: do that one earlier. You got Mike, you got Matt,
- 15:29Speaker 4: you got the families up here. You might as well
- 15:31Speaker 4: go to the lake house during the weekend. So let's
- 15:34Speaker 4: play it on Thursday. Play it early, go and enjoy
- 15:36Speaker 4: a couple of days at the lake, come back and
- 15:38Speaker 4: refocused and rejuvenate it.
- 15:40Speaker 1: I like that.
- 15:41Speaker 2: I like that plan, all right, selfish no iront but
- 15:43Speaker 2: media starts with me.
- 15:45Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. I mean I wasn't happy to see
- 15:47Speaker 1: a night game, all right. Another buyer sell here before
- 15:50Speaker 1: we get to Dolf. Guys, buy or sell. It's been
- 15:53Speaker 1: no accident that Giannis has seemingly on the been on
- 15:56Speaker 1: the Chamber of Commerce tour on southeastern Wisconsin. At least
- 15:59Speaker 1: it seems like that to me. First those pictures of
- 16:01Speaker 1: them at the Milwaukee County Zoo. Then it was the
- 16:03Speaker 1: gymnastics meet. They were at very local thing, you know,
- 16:07Speaker 1: very ordinary dad thing. And now it's yesterday. It was
- 16:11Speaker 1: a picture from Saint Francis to sales the seminary in
- 16:13Speaker 1: Milwaukee where he went to visit the seminary ticket tour,
- 16:16Speaker 1: got a rosary for his mom from the wonderful father there.
- 16:21Speaker 1: I forget it, Father Luke Strand. I just wanted to
- 16:23Speaker 1: give him a shot out there. I love Giannis, but
- 16:25Speaker 1: I don't think it's by accident that he's been seemingly
- 16:27Speaker 1: going on this public pr tour in this is this
- 16:31Speaker 1: part of the game of chicken between him and the
- 16:33Speaker 1: past Brooke Bucks in this sort of you know, does
- 16:36Speaker 1: he want to be here loyalty? Does he actually want
- 16:38Speaker 1: to be here kind of thing, because there have been
- 16:40Speaker 1: accusations lobbed at him now that he's you know, kind
- 16:43Speaker 1: of a fake or a liar or whatever, doesn't really
- 16:46Speaker 1: want to be here, things like that, and it just
- 16:48Speaker 1: seems to be no accent, and all of a sudden
- 16:50Speaker 1: he's on the tourism tour of southeastern Wisconsin.
- 16:53Speaker 2: That's a good question.
- 16:53Speaker 3: I had one of the panel guys, I don't know
- 16:55Speaker 3: if it was Perkins or somebody on one of the
- 16:58Speaker 3: talking head shows. Yeah, it's just background, right, wallpaper. Sure, yeah,
- 17:02Speaker 3: but one of them said, you know, look who's in
- 17:04Speaker 3: the running the Bucks Now, Giannis doesn't have the relationship
- 17:07Speaker 3: with Jimmy HASLM that.
- 17:08Speaker 2: He does with that he did with Mark Lazry who
- 17:11Speaker 2: dipped right, mm hmm. I don't know if that's true
- 17:13Speaker 2: or not.
- 17:13Speaker 3: I don't know what their relationship is or was, but yeah,
- 17:17Speaker 3: he said, what happened with Jimmy Haslam with a guy
- 17:20Speaker 3: named Miles Garrett who wanted out and was as good
- 17:23Speaker 3: as gone and exit visa's had been issued?
- 17:26Speaker 2: And where's Miles Garrett playing? What's that routing number? Yeah, exactly,
- 17:32Speaker 2: Miles Garrett play it?
- 17:33Speaker 3: So Jimmy Haslam And maybe that's recent history of him, Like, yes,
- 17:38Speaker 3: le Browns have stepped in it and made some horrific
- 17:40Speaker 3: decisions in the Haslam regime, including Deshaun Watson, but that one.
- 17:44Speaker 4: Shawn Watson, they kept the guy well and how did
- 17:48Speaker 4: he miraculously drew after in the morning all the reports
- 17:51Speaker 4: from everybody in the news breaking outlets were like, hey,
- 17:54Speaker 4: by the way, Cleveland out, Cleveland's out. He's not going
- 17:58Speaker 4: to Cleveland. He's gonna either go to it Atlanta or
- 18:00Speaker 4: somewhere else. And Jimmy has One said, okay, yeah, what's
- 18:04Speaker 4: that routing numbering? Me?
- 18:05Speaker 2: That check, here's eighty million more guaranteed. Good luck.
- 18:08Speaker 4: He's always been able to fix things with money, and
- 18:10Speaker 4: if you can write that big check, then maybe that's
- 18:12Speaker 4: the only deal.
- 18:13Speaker 2: Maybe they can do a kawai and give you on
- 18:14Speaker 2: us a board position at the Flying Jay.
- 18:17Speaker 4: I was gonna say, do we have are we now
- 18:19Speaker 4: watching it on that investigation or are we doing the aspiration?
- 18:23Speaker 2: If the blocks are going to get in that one.
- 18:24Speaker 1: It's interesting because it's it's like a relationship. It's like, well,
- 18:28Speaker 1: you didn't really want me because you didn't do enough
- 18:29Speaker 1: and you didn't want me, so you know they don't
- 18:31Speaker 1: want me. No, they don't want me.
- 18:32Speaker 4: So Janni's going to the seminary in Saint Francis, maybe
- 18:35Speaker 4: going near the old stomping grounds, that that the old
- 18:38Speaker 4: Cousin Center.
- 18:39Speaker 2: Good question. Now right over by the old Cousins Center.
- 18:42Speaker 3: Embracing the Wisconsin summer lifestyle or is he saying farewell
- 18:46Speaker 3: that's what that's what is showing the kids this is
- 18:49Speaker 3: where dad grew up and we're never going here again.
- 18:51Speaker 2: And is it intentional?
- 18:52Speaker 1: I mean, I think that it's affecting him a little
- 18:55Speaker 1: bit to see the fan base turn on him and
- 18:57Speaker 1: he wants everyone, no, I'm one of you. I'm a
- 18:59Speaker 1: normal person that I'm in Milwaukee, whether or not you
- 19:01Speaker 1: believe it, and I understand.
- 19:03Speaker 2: That that is a part of this mix right now.
- 19:05Speaker 2: And it's like, yes, is he preparing to leave saying
- 19:08Speaker 2: I wanted to be here?
- 19:09Speaker 3: Has he done his usual off season thing of following
- 19:12Speaker 3: everybody that he's connected that's connected with the team.
- 19:14Speaker 2: Remember, he's done that right at it. But I think
- 19:17Speaker 2: it's like the opposite. I was like, is it embracing
- 19:19Speaker 2: social media?
- 19:21Speaker 3: That's one for the h that's one for the smart,
- 19:23Speaker 3: good looking listeners to chew on eight seven, seven, seven,
- 19:26Speaker 3: nine to four, one ninety seven to three. Halftime is approaching.
- 19:29Speaker 3: Dolf will be here.
- 19:31Speaker 4: We'll get his thoughts and right here, buddy, that's where

- 20:20Speaker 3: like kankin Nipple.
- 20:21Speaker 2: Was that the Yeah? How about that Luke Combe show?
- 20:23Speaker 3: Like the Packers were like having various parties and stuff
- 20:26Speaker 3: and they weren't just shotgunning beers on stage. Let me
- 20:29Speaker 3: say that, right, OTA slated for next week, they got
- 20:33Speaker 3: after it a little bit.
- 20:35Speaker 2: You got time.
- 20:35Speaker 5: Some teams already into their OTAs, right, so the Packers
- 20:38Speaker 5: get a little bit extra time.
- 20:40Speaker 2: It's good to see. As a guy that's worked in
- 20:42Speaker 2: country music.
- 20:42Speaker 5: For a long time, I love the fact that people
- 20:45Speaker 5: are really embracing people like Lucomb's not that the country
- 20:47Speaker 5: has not been embraced going back to the Garth Brooks days,
- 20:50Speaker 5: but it's like everybody's into country right now.
- 20:52Speaker 3: Luke Comb's playing, and he's just like he was a
- 20:55Speaker 3: travel ambassador for visit Wisconsin. He played Whistling Straights. He
- 20:58Speaker 3: talks on lemonade at a roads I'd stand on the
- 21:01Speaker 3: way back.
- 21:01Speaker 5: Like the one hundred and twenty dollars tip for three
- 21:03Speaker 5: kids selling lemonade in Cleveland, Wisconsin.
- 21:05Speaker 3: Goodness, Yeah and then yeah, I didn't even know he
- 21:08Speaker 3: was a golfer, but I suppose a lot of country
- 21:09Speaker 3: guys are.
- 21:09Speaker 2: I don't know how much of a golfer he is.
- 21:12Speaker 5: I think I heard him say one time he's like
- 21:14Speaker 5: a I think he's a golf Yeah, he's like a
- 21:17Speaker 5: fifteen handicap. So he shot probably shoots mid eighties, which
- 21:20Speaker 5: at Whistling straight.
- 21:24Speaker 2: Nineties or a hundred.
- 21:25Speaker 1: It'd be tough to be one of those guys because
- 21:27Speaker 1: you miss one time on one of those tips, you're
- 21:29Speaker 1: gonna hear about it from everybody.
- 21:30Speaker 2: You gotta tip everybody over and over the top all
- 21:33Speaker 2: the time.
- 21:34Speaker 1: True, Well, this guy is you better tip on hundreds
- 21:37Speaker 1: of dollars of these kids, Like you know, he's never
- 21:39Speaker 1: gonna be enough for me.
- 21:40Speaker 2: Yeah, But I think you would also, I think you would.
- 21:44Speaker 4: You would be surprised at the amount of cash that
- 21:46Speaker 4: comes in there without the names that probably drop even
- 21:49Speaker 4: bigger tips.
- 21:49Speaker 2: That doesn't matter.
- 21:51Speaker 4: There's probably some huge heavy hitters that are playing that
- 21:54Speaker 4: course that if you don't tip, then CEO of what
- 21:57Speaker 4: company in here, Yeah, we're gonna have more problems.
- 21:59Speaker 2: I always remember Tiger there might have been his first mate.
- 22:02Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 22:02Speaker 5: He was playing somewhere, he wasn't playing at Whistling Straits
- 22:04Speaker 5: or for some reason, and he went into a little
- 22:07Speaker 5: pizza place in Haven up there and dropped a hundred
- 22:10Speaker 5: dollars tip and I thought that's cool.
- 22:11Speaker 2: So he kind of set the standard.
- 22:13Speaker 3: So the country music golf thing, though, there's I know,
- 22:16Speaker 3: there's a few guys that can really sling it at
- 22:18Speaker 3: the stick.
- 22:19Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, Well Jake Owen, who's going to be
- 22:20Speaker 5: here in Milwaukee this week, is probably golfah yeah, close
- 22:24Speaker 5: to scratch. I mean, he had a chance that early
- 22:26Speaker 5: in his career at Florida State to play collegiate golf.
- 22:29Speaker 5: I don't think he did play at FSU, but there's
- 22:31Speaker 5: been other guys that had played college golf. Dustin Lynch
- 22:34Speaker 5: was a D one golfer at Lipscombe University, and George Burge,
- 22:38Speaker 5: who is really on the scene big net right now,
- 22:41Speaker 5: was was a walk on that made the team at
- 22:43Speaker 5: Texas when Scotti Scheffler was that you know back not
- 22:46Speaker 5: that long Agost.
- 22:47Speaker 2: There's some really good golfer.
- 22:48Speaker 1: That says Kit Moore also played college golf at Valdoza
- 22:51Speaker 1: State and Colt was on the.
- 22:54Speaker 2: Court and Vince Gill pretty good too.
- 22:55Speaker 5: Vince gilvinch has always been really good. I remember that
- 22:59Speaker 5: my days when I did more out in Monterey. He
- 23:01Speaker 5: was always at Pebble Beach for the AT and.
- 23:03Speaker 3: T AT and t and he played the Tahoe thing
- 23:05Speaker 3: and stuff and that. Willie Nelson bought a nine holer
- 23:09Speaker 3: like a half hour north of Austin and they're like, hey,
- 23:11Speaker 3: what's what's par there?
- 23:12Speaker 2: And he's like, whatever I said it at. He's like
- 23:14Speaker 2: today it was eighty seven. Today it was eighty seven
- 23:17Speaker 2: and I broke par He's like, whatever I said it
- 23:21Speaker 2: at whatever. So, yeah, that's Willie turned ninety three two
- 23:24Speaker 2: weeks ago.
- 23:25Speaker 5: Wow, and he's still bringing his Outlaw Music Festival to
- 23:28Speaker 5: Alpine Valley this summer.
- 23:29Speaker 4: Absolutely all the way till. That's amazing stuff right there.
- 23:33Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 23:33Speaker 3: Basically he sits during the show now and stuff. But
- 23:35Speaker 3: he's still bringing whiskey river. He's got COPD but you know,
- 23:40Speaker 3: like an oxygen still well medicated, oh, very well medicated.
- 23:45Speaker 2: Ninety three. You won, man, doesn't matter what you had.
- 23:49Speaker 2: And listen.
- 23:50Speaker 5: Toby Keith wrote a song called I'll Never Smoke Weed
- 23:53Speaker 5: with Willy again. I have never partaken and weed with Willie,
- 23:56Speaker 5: but I have been on that bus multiple times before
- 23:59Speaker 5: a show, and contact high is a real.
- 24:02Speaker 3: Thing, just next level. Hunh yep, Big Don Nelson hung out?
- 24:06Speaker 3: Is that like Jordan Lebron, you get the mount rushmore
- 24:09Speaker 3: of Don Nelson.
- 24:09Speaker 4: Willie Nelson's weren't part of the We're both of them
- 24:13Speaker 4: are part of the poker games, right, Don and Willie
- 24:16Speaker 4: were a part of the Hawaii That's right.
- 24:18Speaker 2: So that must have been they're blowing o's down there.
- 24:22Speaker 2: That's amazing. I'd even read the cards at that point,
- 24:24Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
- 24:26Speaker 4: Right? That was that was where the Chauncey Billups cards
- 24:29Speaker 4: first started, just so everybody actually knew the hands so
- 24:33Speaker 4: they didn't mess.
- 24:33Speaker 3: Up on cant That's great, right, So Dolph, as our
- 24:35Speaker 3: resident bears Man, we got to pick your brain a
- 24:37Speaker 3: little bit.
- 24:38Speaker 2: Your thoughts.
- 24:39Speaker 3: When the Brewers are putting a snowman up on the
- 24:41Speaker 3: Cubs leading eight nothing, and you start to hear green
- 24:43Speaker 3: Bay sucks cascading down from the stands at Bigley Field.
- 24:47Speaker 2: That is a relic cross.
- 24:48Speaker 5: It doesn't matter if the Brewers are playing the Cubs,
- 24:51Speaker 5: or the Brewers are playing the White Sox, or the
- 24:53Speaker 5: Packers are playing the Bears. You will hear green Bay
- 24:55Speaker 5: sucks at every Chicago sporting event I went to. I
- 25:00Speaker 5: went to three games and the playoff game at Soldier
- 25:02Speaker 5: Field this year. None of them were against the Packers,
- 25:04Speaker 5: and the green Bay Sucks chant happens every single game, before, during,
- 25:08Speaker 5: and after the football game.
- 25:09Speaker 2: It's so funny.
- 25:11Speaker 5: It's just it's it's I'm sure they took it from
- 25:13Speaker 5: Packers fans with the Bear still suck, but green Bay
- 25:15Speaker 5: sucks is something you just laugh now when you hear it.
- 25:18Speaker 2: It's hurted all the time.
- 25:19Speaker 3: When the Cubs were playing the White Sox, that's when
- 25:21Speaker 3: you know there's on the south side over the.
- 25:23Speaker 2: Weekend of it. That's the one thing they could agree on.
- 25:25Speaker 2: That's amazing.
- 25:26Speaker 4: I didn't know that we might hate each other today,
- 25:28Speaker 4: but we still hate that team now.
- 25:31Speaker 5: I went to the Viking game and the Lion game,
- 25:33Speaker 5: and of course those fans love that as well, because
- 25:35Speaker 5: everybody hates the Packers. They so yeah, so everybody's in
- 25:38Speaker 5: Unison going through the tunnels at Grant Parks saying green
- 25:41Speaker 5: Bay suck.
- 25:41Speaker 4: I got to get one of the well in Detroit
- 25:43Speaker 4: fans love it because they did the Green Bay sucks
- 25:45Speaker 4: thing with Domino Saint brown T shirt right when he
- 25:47Speaker 4: walked into the Packers Lions game. Green Bay socks. I
- 25:50Speaker 4: got get one of those Detroit sucks. Sure, it's because
- 25:52Speaker 4: there's never been more a fact of matter statement, right, I.
- 25:57Speaker 2: Mean, it's just like a fact of the city.
- 25:59Speaker 4: But like when when you do have the the duality
- 26:03Speaker 4: of our baseball teams getting smacked, however we still hate
- 26:08Speaker 4: them collectively, we can bring this together and still tell
- 26:11Speaker 4: all of you to f off. I think that's my
- 26:14Speaker 4: favorite part of not understanding there's probably a decent amount
- 26:17Speaker 4: of those Brewers fans that some might be a Bears fans.
- 26:21Speaker 4: There also would be too many of those Cubs fans
- 26:24Speaker 4: that some of them might be Packers fans.
- 26:25Speaker 2: They're like, yeah, yeah, they suck, I suck.
- 26:27Speaker 4: I'm not gonna talk though, because I'm not trying to
- 26:29Speaker 4: get yelled at, I have to count on both hands.
- 26:31Speaker 4: I know people that are both Cubs and Packers fans
- 26:33Speaker 4: for sure, big time. Yeah, look right, like a little
- 26:36Speaker 4: bit of a combo. And they're sitting there like all right,
- 26:38Speaker 4: I'm just going to join in so I don't get
- 26:40Speaker 4: yelled at.
- 26:40Speaker 5: You go to Kenosha, man, that is a city divided, DMZ. Yeah,
- 26:44Speaker 5: you drive down any street, You'll see as many Bear
- 26:46Speaker 5: lights as Packer lights, but you also see as many
- 26:49Speaker 5: Cubs lights as Brewers lights.
- 26:50Speaker 2: Fake time, true, that's right.
- 26:52Speaker 3: Uh did you see yesterday the Cubs had had the
- 26:55Speaker 3: pregame They had to tamp out that fire from PCA
- 26:58Speaker 3: yelling at the woman.
- 26:59Speaker 2: Speaking white Sox. How did they do that?
- 27:02Speaker 4: They?
- 27:03Speaker 3: County just said he made a mistake and he apologized
- 27:05Speaker 3: for his choice of words in the heat of the moment.
- 27:07Speaker 3: I play at a high level of intensity and it
- 27:09Speaker 3: just got the best.
- 27:10Speaker 2: Man.
- 27:10Speaker 3: I shouldn't have said what I said, And the women
- 27:12Speaker 3: who know me in my life would know that I'd
- 27:13Speaker 3: never say that towards them.
- 27:14Speaker 2: And that's just I thought. The socks are sick, that's
- 27:19Speaker 2: more or less, that's what.
- 27:20Speaker 5: But we had a chance to go to that Crossdown
- 27:23Speaker 5: Classic for several years in a row. It is nuts, man,
- 27:26Speaker 5: how you have families divided that screaming each other.
- 27:31Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks fun in the same city like that.
- 27:35Speaker 2: And I don't know, I thought it was.
- 27:36Speaker 1: I thought it was good for him on both of
- 27:38Speaker 1: them talk trash to the player, talk trash back. That's
- 27:40Speaker 1: what makes sports fun. But you don't have to use
- 27:42Speaker 1: those words. Maybe, but you know, that's what makes sports fun.
- 27:45Speaker 1: I didn't think it was a.
- 27:47Speaker 4: Doesn't use a little bit of vulgar Yeah, right, Like
- 27:50Speaker 4: he was soft about it a little bit, especially these days,
- 27:53Speaker 4: it's kind of tough for that, especially these day history.
- 27:56Speaker 2: I heard a lot worse. There's so many worse old
- 27:58Speaker 2: I know arm and watches old sports.
- 28:00Speaker 1: Yes it's true, but there you look back in some
- 28:02Speaker 1: old clips, there are so many worse examples of interactions.
- 28:05Speaker 3: With This wasn't malice at the Palace, No, No, it wasn't.
- 28:09Speaker 3: It wasn't Mike Milbury going into the stands.
- 28:11Speaker 2: This was closer to me.
- 28:13Speaker 4: This was closer to the KD interaction with the Dallas fans,
- 28:16Speaker 4: with the guys like, hey, I have his podcast.
- 28:17Speaker 5: Sports Man I'm sorry, Katie's awesome with that stuff. How
- 28:20Speaker 5: about Robin Ficker, remember him.
- 28:22Speaker 3: As the fan behind the Bullets bench who was non
- 28:25Speaker 3: stop screaming.
- 28:26Speaker 2: I meant, this guy.
- 28:27Speaker 3: Was a lawyer and he would just sit but he
- 28:29Speaker 3: had season tickets behind the visiting bench and we're just harassed,
- 28:32Speaker 3: and he would go deep. He was like like basically
- 28:35Speaker 3: he was like the entire Duke student bodies in sections
- 28:38Speaker 3: and one man Duke.
- 28:39Speaker 5: Student section he wasn't and you thought, not knowing who
- 28:42Speaker 5: he was, he was unstable. Turns out, yeah, he was
- 28:44Speaker 5: a DC attorney. He's a big time lawyer. I think
- 28:47Speaker 5: that the opposing teams almost look forward to the interaction.
- 28:51Speaker 2: It was so funny. Yeah, it was so funny.
- 28:53Speaker 4: Larry and as Larry Bird his book talked about there
- 28:55Speaker 4: was a couple of lawyers or something like bucks in
- 28:59Speaker 4: Milwaukee than the eighties would be behind their bench constantly
- 29:02Speaker 4: harassing the Celtics too.
- 29:03Speaker 2: One time McHale started punching one of them during the game,
- 29:06Speaker 2: like it's out, there's video. I mean, these things do happen.
- 29:11Speaker 1: I'm not condoning melees and stuff obviously between players and fans.
- 29:15Speaker 1: I'm just saying these things do happen, and sometimes that's
- 29:17Speaker 1: part of the funnest boards.
- 29:19Speaker 3: My favorite Robin Ficker anecdote was when Sam Smith from
- 29:23Speaker 3: the Tribune wrote The Jordan Rules and the book was
- 29:25Speaker 3: like ye has the Churn. It was like all the
- 29:27Speaker 3: talk of the well Jordan was at the peak of
- 29:28Speaker 3: his powers, and Fickers like the bulls visit the Wizards
- 29:32Speaker 3: or I guess the bullets back then. Yeah, And he's
- 29:35Speaker 3: like in the first row and he's got the book
- 29:36Speaker 3: and he's reading passages of it.
- 29:41Speaker 2: That's brilliant, so fun, and he's just like awesome, Hey, PJ. A. Armstrong,
- 29:46Speaker 2: did he really hits you? Like, but he's like reading
- 29:49Speaker 2: the books? Amazing. Bench and player not not appreciation. That's
- 29:54Speaker 2: the thing.
- 29:55Speaker 3: You talk to most players, and they like they when
- 29:57Speaker 3: someone says, you know, something about your mom or something,
- 30:00Speaker 3: someone says something vulgar, it's just dumb. But if it's
- 30:02Speaker 3: elevated and if it's clever, yes they'll like it. You know,
- 30:05Speaker 3: it's like, all right, that's pretty good.
- 30:07Speaker 4: Rogers told a great story of when he was on
- 30:10Speaker 4: the bench and he was one of the backups in Philadelphia.
- 30:13Speaker 4: He's like, the best thing was this one guy for
- 30:16Speaker 4: four full quarters, just said, Rogers, you're done picking thorns
- 30:21Speaker 4: out of your ass, You're done picking slippers out.
- 30:25Speaker 2: You're not getting in this game. You're done. He finally
- 30:27Speaker 2: looked up.
- 30:27Speaker 4: He's like, after four quarters of hearing it, I had
- 30:30Speaker 4: never been so hammered throughout the entire game. I just
- 30:33Speaker 4: had to give him a nod and congratulations. Like that,
- 30:36Speaker 4: that's intensity that I can't mimic. You gotta give it.
- 30:39Speaker 2: Up to him. That's amazing.
- 30:41Speaker 3: The late great Darryl Hamilton's playing center field for the
- 30:43Speaker 3: Brewers in Yankee Stadium, and they were wearing him out
- 30:46Speaker 3: for some reason and kind of an anonymous guy on
- 30:49Speaker 3: an anonymous team, but they were wearing him out, and
- 30:51Speaker 3: then he like he turned to him, acknowledged him, and
- 30:54Speaker 3: then he like reached into his back pocket for an
- 30:56Speaker 3: imaginary wallet and started appealing off the cash. And then
- 31:00Speaker 3: I liked him, and they started cheering for him, and
- 31:01Speaker 3: later in the game he gets a base hit in
- 31:03Speaker 3: that section out in the fields, they became Hamilton fans man.
- 31:07Speaker 4: When I was in high school over we were just
- 31:09Speaker 4: screaming at Ryan Ludwig for what reason, I don't know,
- 31:12Speaker 4: left fielder at that point, no longer for the Cardinals.
- 31:15Speaker 4: I want to say it was the Padres at the time,
- 31:17Speaker 4: I think he was. And we're just wearing this guy
- 31:19Speaker 4: out in the left field bleachers for again no apparent reason.
- 31:22Speaker 4: He hit one of the furthest home runs I've ever
- 31:25Speaker 4: seen in the middle of the fifth inning, and that
- 31:28Speaker 4: son of a gun walked right out to left field.
- 31:30Speaker 4: He didn't throw a ball the entire time. He just
- 31:32Speaker 4: stared up there and just giggled.
- 31:33Speaker 2: He's like that, thank you, thank you. That's awesome. Yeah,
- 31:37Speaker 2: those are fun, man. It can be fun. It's supposed
- 31:40Speaker 2: to be fun.
- 31:40Speaker 3: But when it gets heated like it did with PCA,
- 31:42Speaker 3: he was vulgar and people were saying he should be
- 31:45Speaker 3: fined or suspended.
- 31:46Speaker 2: I don't know that either is gonna happen. Just kind
- 31:48Speaker 2: of hoping and everything's caught on video now, Dolph.
- 31:51Speaker 5: Yeah, and you're talking about a guy that's really struggling
- 31:54Speaker 5: this year too, right, He just like last night up there,
- 31:57Speaker 5: he's just fishing at everything, and that's kind of been
- 31:59Speaker 5: them on that guy once pitchers figure him out. Multi talented,
- 32:03Speaker 5: still a great player, but boy, that attitude is frustrated.
- 32:06Speaker 3: So it's like it's almost hard for me to get
- 32:08Speaker 3: worked up about that because you know, this rising young,
- 32:11Speaker 3: twenty four year old star for the Cubs said something
- 32:13Speaker 3: to a woman that was, yes, vulgar and untoward.
- 32:17Speaker 2: Shouldn't have said it.
- 32:18Speaker 3: But I'm old enough to remember when Tony Phillips fought
- 32:20Speaker 3: a guy behind the bleacher during the game County Stadium. Phillips,
- 32:25Speaker 3: the White Sox outfielder, got to fight with a guy
- 32:27Speaker 3: that meet me back over there, and he walked out
- 32:30Speaker 3: out the tunnel and went in that little that little
- 32:32Speaker 3: alley between the bleachers and the grand stand.
- 32:34Speaker 2: And I was in Twitter. But now anymore there was
- 32:37Speaker 2: in social media, get everyone in a frenzy about it.
- 32:39Speaker 5: I was just gonna say the same thing arm and
- 32:41Speaker 5: you would see that more often. But now these guys know,
- 32:43Speaker 5: with social media, there's no way you can do it.
- 32:46Speaker 1: Yeah, but some of the best stories and memories you
- 32:48Speaker 1: have are those when you hear a guy, like when
- 32:49Speaker 1: you're a kid at a game and somebody was hackling
- 32:51Speaker 1: somebody and to get the player to actually acknowledge it.
- 32:54Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, it was a good moment, wasn't that?
- 32:56Speaker 1: I always I don't my thirteenth birthday party, we gave
- 32:59Speaker 1: it the bjas Off when he was in the Orioles.
- 33:01Speaker 1: Brewers are playing the Orioles. Me and my buddy Vincent Moora,
- 33:03Speaker 1: we were just all over him. And then I always
- 33:05Speaker 1: felt bad about that because I always felt like it
- 33:08Speaker 1: was fun. And I'm like, I think bj hurt us
- 33:09Speaker 1: because he looked up why these kids yelling so off?
- 33:12Speaker 2: You suck?
- 33:14Speaker 1: Because because he was used to be a brewer and
- 33:16Speaker 1: I didn't really understand it. Well, they're betting up back
- 33:17Speaker 1: then to think more of like was it a trade
- 33:20Speaker 1: or free agency? I don't remember, but man, I was like,
- 33:22Speaker 1: maybe I should have done that. Maybe he's thinking about
- 33:25Speaker 1: me tonight.
- 33:25Speaker 2: I don't want them.
- 33:26Speaker 3: Last week, by the way, last week was the thirtieth
- 33:28Speaker 3: anniversary of Tony Phillips at County Stadium a fifteenth, nineteen
- 33:31Speaker 3: ninety six.
- 33:32Speaker 2: This was the fog game.
- 33:33Speaker 3: They had a fog delay, and I remember there was
- 33:36Speaker 3: like they were wondering what to do, and they hit.
- 33:38Speaker 3: They brought both coaches off from both teams and hits
- 33:41Speaker 3: like fungos hit fly balls to see if the outfielders
- 33:43Speaker 3: could see the ball.
- 33:45Speaker 2: And so Tony Phillips gets into it.
- 33:47Speaker 3: Fans are wearing them out the sixth inning, he's removed
- 33:49Speaker 3: from the game, Showers, gets into street clothes, goes behind
- 33:52Speaker 3: the stands and fights at twenty three year old from Racine.
- 33:54Speaker 2: That's amazing.
- 33:57Speaker 3: Milwaukee County District Attorney, I think it was Michael McCann
- 34:00Speaker 3: did not press criminal battery charges because the confrontation involved
- 34:03Speaker 3: the scuffle where both parties shared the blame. Both Phillips
- 34:05Speaker 3: and the fan received two hundred and eighty seven dollars
- 34:08Speaker 3: disorderly conduct tickets.
- 34:09Speaker 2: Unlike Randall Simon, separate ways with charge.
- 34:13Speaker 3: That's right, and gene Butdick, who was president of the
- 34:15Speaker 3: American League at the time, find Phillips five thousand dollars
- 34:18Speaker 3: and the White Sox find him an undisclosed amount for
- 34:20Speaker 3: leaving the bench and the clubhouse during a game when we.
- 34:23Speaker 5: Used to have president of the American and National League
- 34:25Speaker 5: and their name their autograph was actually scrawled across the
- 34:27Speaker 5: ball in those days.
- 34:30Speaker 2: That's awesome.
- 34:31Speaker 4: I still have a foul ball that I got that
- 34:33Speaker 4: has GeneID. All right, let's go settle this outside. I
- 34:36Speaker 4: love that you step out here with me real quick.
- 34:38Speaker 2: You go, Drew. I found this from the Tribune. Weshed
- 34:40Speaker 2: me outside. How about that cash. How about that?
- 34:42Speaker 1: Way up the ramp, we ran into Brewers Beat riter
- 34:45Speaker 1: Tony tom Hargicourt and said, how about Tony Phillips? And
- 34:47Speaker 1: they said, what Tony Phillips, what are you talking about?
- 34:50Speaker 1: It's in the Tribune article and the Assemble press cord.
- 34:54Speaker 2: Yeah, there was.
- 34:56Speaker 3: I think what happened was we found out about that
- 34:58Speaker 3: later and then like I think one of the one
- 35:02Speaker 3: of the Beat guys had already left, like the Chicago
- 35:04Speaker 3: Beat guys had already packed up and left.
- 35:06Speaker 2: And you know, sorry you.
- 35:08Speaker 3: Missed it, man, Sorry to everybody else has the story
- 35:11Speaker 3: about your outfielder fighting a fan.
- 35:13Speaker 4: And that's why, kids, you always go the extra mile.
- 35:16Speaker 4: That's why you make sure that you never leave, because
- 35:18Speaker 4: the story must just be starting.
- 35:19Speaker 5: And if you're that twenty three year old guy from
- 35:21Speaker 5: Racine who's now in his fifties, you probably have that
- 35:23Speaker 5: article hanging on your wall in your sports wreck room downstairs.
- 35:26Speaker 4: That's right behind the bar. I fought it Major League
- 35:28Speaker 4: gap whom Yeah, oh yeah.
- 35:30Speaker 2: That fight has gotten so much better in his favor
- 35:33Speaker 2: over the years.
- 35:33Speaker 5: I don't remember Tony Phillips being an imposing guy when
- 35:36Speaker 5: he played.
- 35:36Speaker 2: He was crazy but he wasn't right. He was but
- 35:39Speaker 2: he was crazy. I remember him when I was in
- 35:40Speaker 2: the PA with Oakland. Yeah.
- 35:42Speaker 4: Did he have to go to get the surgically uh
- 35:44Speaker 4: implanted califlower ear?
- 35:46Speaker 2: Did he earn one? Yeah?
- 35:47Speaker 3: He probably I would have earned it. Was the guy
- 35:51Speaker 3: you wouldn't want to mess with. He was all kinds
- 35:52Speaker 3: of crazy. A lot of good coverage from this always
- 35:55Speaker 3: good memory lane. Yeah, thirty years ago. Last week Tony Phillips,
- 35:58Speaker 3: that's like PCA yeo, little woman.
- 36:01Speaker 2: Tony Phillips fought a guy in the stands, kissed me
- 36:04Speaker 2: with under the bleachers.
- 36:05Speaker 3: Let's go exacly Dolph, thank you for popping in, as
- 36:07Speaker 3: always appreciate it.
- 36:08Speaker 2: Halftime is over.
- 36:09Speaker 3: Let's have an uncrossable, have an orange slice, and get
- 36:11Speaker 3: back after it. It's the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 36:18Speaker 3: I'm talking text line eight seven seven seven ninety four
- 36:21Speaker 3: one ninety seven to three gets you in. Give us
- 36:24Speaker 3: your buyer cell propositions. Time for a little Who's hot
- 36:26Speaker 3: and Who's not? Brought to us by Donovan Jorgenson Heating
- 36:29Speaker 3: and cooling. Plenty of candidates all around. Who's hotter than Wemby?
- 36:32Speaker 3: Right now, I'm the captain now.
- 36:35Speaker 4: Yeah, dure, I don't know anybody's gonna be able to
- 36:37Speaker 4: take that thrown. My man goes for forty one twenty
- 36:40Speaker 4: four three blocks last night and a steal plus sixteen
- 36:44Speaker 4: in the category twelve of thirteen from the line and
- 36:48Speaker 4: hit a logo three. That was about as crazy of
- 36:52Speaker 4: a shot as I've been able to witness.
- 36:55Speaker 2: My man just stepped into it, didn't know that he
- 36:57Speaker 2: wanted to shoot it, kind of off balance. He's like, yeah,
- 37:01Speaker 2: I'm just gonna throw it up. Why not just drop?
- 37:03Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 37:04Speaker 2: Is it obviously an important one? They were down three
- 37:06Speaker 2: in the in the heis in single. That was first time.
- 37:10Speaker 2: Just a nasty shot. I mean he just pulled up
- 37:12Speaker 2: and boom, just nailed it.
- 37:13Speaker 1: So you know, they say what you want about you
- 37:16Speaker 1: know what the greatest player's greatest talents could be not
- 37:19Speaker 1: many guys at the tools and the ability to do
- 37:21Speaker 1: what he does.
- 37:21Speaker 4: No, but the couple in the not category from the
- 37:24Speaker 4: game would be the big men from Oklahoma City. Isaiah
- 37:27Speaker 4: Hartenstein last year was everybody's favorite.
- 37:30Speaker 2: He was so good, so valuable.
- 37:33Speaker 4: Played twelve minutes last night, two points, two rebounds to assist,
- 37:37Speaker 4: played off the floor with Wemby and chet Holmgren had
- 37:40Speaker 4: his big moment on the block to force overtime, but
- 37:45Speaker 4: he had just eight points in forty one minutes Shay
- 37:49Speaker 4: seven of twenty three just not enough and fifty one
- 37:52Speaker 4: minutes of action last night.
- 37:53Speaker 2: But Alex Caruso in the hot category.
- 37:55Speaker 4: He sparked one of my favorite conversations we've had on
- 37:58Speaker 4: the in the young and infancy of the Huddle program
- 38:02Speaker 4: where he brought up if and how many NBA players
- 38:06Speaker 4: could go on to any random team in the NCAA
- 38:09Speaker 4: tournament and win the championship. Well, Alex Cruzo is gonna
- 38:13Speaker 4: shoot like that. I don't know what team you would
- 38:15Speaker 4: have thrown him on, but he would add a chance.
- 38:17Speaker 4: It would have been would have been a different version
- 38:19Speaker 4: of Alex Caruso doing it. But he is in a
- 38:23Speaker 4: rare air, guys, where he's like the Hall of Fame
- 38:25Speaker 4: of role players, right, not gonna be an NBA Hall
- 38:28Speaker 4: of Famer, But if he wins it. Here got three titles,
- 38:30Speaker 4: two different teams, and a massive, massive part of it. Well,
- 38:34Speaker 4: he was basically almost the reason the Thunder almost won
- 38:37Speaker 4: last night and triples last night.
- 38:39Speaker 2: He was their guy. So that was you know, you
- 38:42Speaker 2: look at it a couple of ways.
- 38:43Speaker 1: It's either a bad sign for the thunder or a
- 38:45Speaker 1: good one that Okay, we couldn't win a double overtime
- 38:48Speaker 1: with him doing that?
- 38:49Speaker 2: Are we in big trouble?
- 38:50Speaker 4: Because you know, yeah, I thought I thought that, Arman,
- 38:53Speaker 4: But then I as I was watching the game, I
- 38:55Speaker 4: thought it would be the worst possible outcome and might
- 38:59Speaker 4: be thunder and five if the Spurs wouldn't have won
- 39:01Speaker 4: last night, sure, because then you almost have to win
- 39:04Speaker 4: five games because they they dominated that game from for
- 39:07Speaker 4: the majority of the night they were ahead. It would
- 39:10Speaker 4: have been that would have been a tough one to
- 39:11Speaker 4: get over. I think if you don't pull that one out,
- 39:14Speaker 4: how about in the hot category? Also the Montreal Canadians.
- 39:17Speaker 4: They find themselves into the conference finals. Oklahoma City had
- 39:21Speaker 4: never had not lost a playoff game all playoffs. Long drew.
- 39:25Speaker 4: Montreal gets Carolina waiting for him. They haven't lost a
- 39:27Speaker 4: playoff game all playoffs. Long, little rest versus rush the
- 39:31Speaker 4: rust deal here with the always frugal Carolina Hurricane.
- 39:36Speaker 2: There you go like that, Oh it's frugal.
- 39:39Speaker 4: If the conversation, I gotta drop that one.
- 39:43Speaker 2: Who's hot?
- 39:43Speaker 4: Who's not. Don't ever be worried about if you're a
- 39:47Speaker 4: little frugal, you know you're gonna get a great deal.
- 39:49Speaker 4: Donovan Jorgenson heating and cooling, three great locations, also opening
- 39:52Speaker 4: a new one as well.
- 39:54Speaker 2: But uh, they do.
- 39:55Speaker 4: HVAC drew in a time where people want to be
- 39:58Speaker 4: a jack of all trade, it's and a master of none.
- 40:01Speaker 4: Donovan Jorgensen's like, hey, Hvac, you got the problems, we
- 40:04Speaker 4: got the answers.
- 40:05Speaker 2: Call us. You won't have to call anybody else. You
- 40:07Speaker 2: know who better be? Hot Gardner, Minshew and Carson Beck
- 40:10Speaker 2: who are getting the steps at Cardinals? Ota Kobet is
- 40:14Speaker 2: holding out? Is that overplaying your hand? Maybe a tick?
- 40:17Speaker 2: You're Jacoby Brissette, Yeah, that's as close to the Steve Haywood.
- 40:22Speaker 2: He's still getting a still getting the check. He's your
- 40:24Speaker 2: starting quarterback.
- 40:25Speaker 4: He's holding out.
- 40:26Speaker 2: Who else is gonna do it? But I get your
- 40:28Speaker 2: point over under for Michaelifler victories, I would put it
- 40:33Speaker 2: at three and a half.
- 40:34Speaker 4: I'll have the Potawatami sportsbook number for you here in
- 40:36Speaker 4: a second, but I can't imagine it more than that.
- 40:39Speaker 3: More than three and a half, or you know they can't.
- 40:42Speaker 3: They can't win more than if they win more than
- 40:43Speaker 3: five games, just put him in Canton over four and
- 40:47Speaker 3: a half is plus one twenty.
- 40:48Speaker 2: There you go. I dare somebody to make that bet.
- 40:51Speaker 3: All right, buying and selling today, we're having some fun
- 40:54Speaker 3: on a Tuesday. We got this club going up. Billy
- 40:56Speaker 3: YEA dang right it does, baby, Come on now, Brewers
- 40:59Speaker 3: Cubs talk will continue. We're gonna listen to Hunter again too.
- 41:02Speaker 3: Before we get out. It's the huddle. Fox Sports Radio
- 41:04Speaker 3: was com
