0:25
Speaker 1: When I would leave this time of year, every year
0:27
Speaker 1: in my Brewers Beat days, invariably within forty eight hours
0:30
Speaker 1: of my departure, we'd get hit with a monster snowstorm
0:33
Speaker 1: that my wife and young child would be bunkered in
0:35
Speaker 1: four and someone have to come and snowblower out of
0:37
Speaker 1: the out of the figure out eighteen inch storm, and
0:41

0:47
Speaker 3: Not that worried about it.
0:48

0:52
Speaker 1: I leave for Mexico on Saturday, and I look at

Speaker 1: the advanced forecasts, gonna be fifty here when I'm gone.
0:56
Speaker 1: That was always You've always I'm only gonna have you
1:00
Speaker 1: by thirty degrees, not eighty degrees.
1:02
Speaker 2: About that.
1:03
Speaker 4: People wud always get salty when they go on a trip,
1:05
Speaker 4: and it's not devastating for.
1:07
Speaker 2: The people they left behind.
1:08
Speaker 1: Brewers, pitchers and catchers report tomorrow and they'll have days
1:12
Speaker 1: like you know that are kind of sketch, but it'll
1:14
Speaker 1: generally be pretty blissful. And the highlight of every you know,
1:18
Speaker 1: the first pitch and all this stuff. They don't really
1:20
Speaker 1: have flyovers in spring training games, but you have the
1:22
Speaker 1: first pitch and everything, and then the highlight was always,
1:24
Speaker 1: you know, after the first pitch, they would say game
1:26
Speaker 1: time temperature eighty five degrees temperature in Milwaukee, Yeah, twenty two,
1:30
Speaker 1: and it just that'd be.
1:31
Speaker 2: The loudest pop of the day. Yepy. That was it.
1:34
Speaker 3: It was always my favorite part of Mikey Cactus League.
1:37
Speaker 3: Mike Keller's reports, while he would be down in Phoenix
1:40
Speaker 3: for for the majority of spring training, would be you know,
1:43
Speaker 3: it's only sixty three degrees.
1:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, only only.
1:46
Speaker 3: I do have a I do have a quarter zip
1:48
Speaker 3: and a long sleeve bowl. I'm like, I think we'll
1:51
Speaker 3: all be Okay, I think we'll muddle through. However, you've
1:53
Speaker 3: done some of those Cactus League mornings Drew where all
1:55
Speaker 3: of a sudden, yeah, there's a little bit of.
1:58
Speaker 2: A brisk air. There was risk.
2:00
Speaker 3: Boys are walking in and getting their their reps. In
2:02
Speaker 3: cage number three, you got to show the Wisconsin plates.
2:05
Speaker 1: You gotta be scannie strong, and you gotta wear the
2:07
Speaker 1: shorts and a quarter zip, and then you go to
2:09
Speaker 1: maybe even a hoodie or something. And then because invariably
2:12
Speaker 1: I often thought I never did. But when you're in
2:14
Speaker 1: the when you read the Brookstone catalogs, remembering the planes
2:17
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. The pants, the pants that had
2:20
Speaker 1: the zipper, the zipper, shorts that you could zipper off,
2:22
Speaker 1: the shorts those hika the bottom off and zipper, I'm like.
2:28
Speaker 2: I should invest in those.
2:30
Speaker 1: You want to wear pants early in the morning so
2:32
Speaker 1: it's not chilly, and then you're gonna go to shorts. Yeah,
2:36
Speaker 1: like I always wanted to pull off the sweats with
2:38
Speaker 1: the snaps. Then then you realize they're a bigger pain
2:43
Speaker 1: in the ass.
2:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't really wave anymore.
2:46
Speaker 3: I thought I thought the zip ones were way better
2:49
Speaker 3: because they were way easier to put back together as
2:51
Speaker 3: pants exactly.
2:52
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just my ball days.
2:53
Speaker 3: I was just too too scarred by the button down
2:56
Speaker 3: all the way.
2:57
Speaker 2: Through still in one piece.
3:00
Speaker 4: I mean, when I would z you may tell me
3:01
Speaker 4: the ones that would zip all the way off, the shorts,
3:03
Speaker 4: that would go from pants to shorts.
3:05
Speaker 3: Zip, zip around the thigh, zip around the thighre zip
3:09
Speaker 3: around the different pants then, but kind of fifty shades
3:13
Speaker 3: pants you're talking about here, it's talking about you have
3:17
Speaker 3: to reassemble them and snap them up, and it was
3:19
Speaker 3: that's a pain in the back.
3:20
Speaker 2: Up and make sure you have to two and then
3:22
Speaker 2: for home use, there's one and and what other than what.
3:25
Speaker 1: Universe other than going to the scores table looking cool
3:27
Speaker 1: flipping those snaps off, Well.
3:30
Speaker 2: There's no utility, there's no functionality.
3:32
Speaker 3: And Drew, let me, while we're on this, a selling
3:35
Speaker 3: baby clothes made with buttons. What the hell are we doing?
3:40
Speaker 3: It's the tear away version of what you're saying. But
3:42
Speaker 3: it's right over my man's legs, right and right into
3:46
Speaker 3: the nether regions where I'm gonna have to go back
3:47
Speaker 3: and obviously where the blowout is going to be, where
3:50
Speaker 3: the blowt's going to be what's the number one thing
3:52
Speaker 3: you need where the blowout is going.
3:53
Speaker 2: To be drue.
3:54
Speaker 3: You need access, you need the but you need it
3:57
Speaker 3: all to be controlled. Controlled chaos we can control. There's
4:03
Speaker 3: holes everywhere, borders, it's just buttons.
4:06
Speaker 2: All over there.
4:06
Speaker 3: There's holes everywhere, and it's leaking off and I'm moving
4:09
Speaker 3: over there and all this my hand.
4:10
Speaker 2: I'm like, what that?
4:11
Speaker 3: What did I wipe with a Was this with a
4:13
Speaker 3: towel or was it with my hand?
4:15
Speaker 2: It's like a wash. Lock it up. Yes, make sure
4:18
Speaker 2: baby doesn't run.
4:19
Speaker 4: It's one thing at three and four and five months,
4:21
Speaker 4: but we get to that six, seven, eight months and
4:23
Speaker 4: they're moving around.
4:24
Speaker 2: They're starting to wrestle with you. It's WrestleMania every diaper change.
4:28
Speaker 4: Not figuring out forty five buttons. You know how to
4:31
Speaker 4: do this? Give me snaps or give me magnets or
4:33
Speaker 4: I don't even want to deal with it. I mean,
4:35
Speaker 4: I'm not putting a little mini ba bush because I mean,
4:37
Speaker 4: I like a onesie.
4:38
Speaker 2: You know, you tuk it in. It's easy.
4:39
Speaker 4: But everyone you know laarawasa skirts and stockings and bush
4:43
Speaker 4: Cuz I'm like, what are we doing here?
4:44
Speaker 2: This is not functional? Not functional?
4:47
Speaker 1: I will grant you all right, so buy ourselves today
4:50
Speaker 1: hit us eight seven seven seven, buy our cl Tuesday'
4:54
Speaker 1: been holstering this one up.
4:55
Speaker 2: For you guys, just for today.
4:57
Speaker 1: This is where a lot of recency bias is going
4:59
Speaker 1: to him in you're buying, are selling that recency buyings socidey.
5:05
Speaker 1: Try to put what happened this Sunday out of your mind. Buying,
5:07
Speaker 1: your selling that Matt Lafleuur is a better NFL coach
5:09
Speaker 1: than Mike Rable.
5:12
Speaker 2: That's a good one.
5:13
Speaker 4: Both been in the league for seven years. Let me
5:16
Speaker 4: jump in that second and think about it. That is
5:18
Speaker 4: a good one, really really good.
5:21
Speaker 2: It depends how good you think that job. Well, one
5:24
Speaker 2: guy's been to a super Bowl and one guy hasn't.
5:25
Speaker 3: Case closed all right, not necessarily sure it is, but
5:30
Speaker 3: well I agree with you, But I mean a lot
5:32
Speaker 3: of people would say that that's the reason, Well he's
5:33
Speaker 3: been to a super Bowl.
5:35
Speaker 2: A lot of people reason like third Greade regular season
5:38
Speaker 2: record in seven years.
5:39
Speaker 1: Mike Rabel fifty four and forty five, a winning percentage
5:42
Speaker 1: of five eighty six. Matt Lafluor seventy six forty one,
5:45
Speaker 1: a six fifty four winning all right, Matt Lafloor definitely
5:47
Speaker 1: wins more. But you can argue then his career is
5:50
Speaker 1: also buoyed by the likes of an Aaron Rodgers right
5:52
Speaker 1: in those years and not.
5:54
Speaker 2: Will Levis and Ryan Tanneh Exactly, yeah, exactly.
5:57
Speaker 1: But then okay, but uh didn't he I think Rabel
6:02
Speaker 1: that year they went to the championship game, didn't on
6:04
Speaker 1: They were like a nine and seven outfit that.
6:06
Speaker 3: Year they were, they were the sixth seed, the seven
6:10
Speaker 3: got hot in the time, rolled to the title.
6:12
Speaker 2: Game, and then he was one and done. In his
6:14
Speaker 2: other playoff appearances in.
6:16
Speaker 3: When they were the number one seed, when they were
6:18
Speaker 3: the number one seed, and the Packers were also the
6:20
Speaker 3: number one seed.
6:21
Speaker 5: So so Rable, I mean, you'll get saying Rabel for
6:26
Speaker 5: sure came out of the gate thirteen and three and
6:30
Speaker 5: Rabel and it's all he inherited a Hall of Fame quarterback, granted,
6:33
Speaker 5: but Rabel was.
6:33
Speaker 1: Nine and seven, nine and seven, eleven and five, twelve
6:36
Speaker 1: and five and then seven and ten and six and
6:38
Speaker 1: eleven got him booted out of Tennessee. And then he
6:41
Speaker 1: goes to New England and he's fourteen and three with
6:43
Speaker 1: a bunch of a shocking over achievement and you know turnaround.
6:47
Speaker 1: So I'm just asking you, buying your selling that Matt
6:50
Speaker 1: the first a better NFL Coachan.
6:51
Speaker 4: Mike Dreamy, Troy LDJ all saying, all saying Rabel for sure,
6:55
Speaker 4: because Rabel is the type of coach that football fans
6:57
Speaker 4: like the way he makes them feel.
6:58
Speaker 2: Well, I also think it's I.
7:00
Speaker 3: I also think it's a tough one because I would
7:01
Speaker 3: I'd put a couple of let me armonize it here real.
7:04
Speaker 2: Quick, please do.
7:06
Speaker 3: The head coach is a key part of this because
7:09
Speaker 3: I think Vrabel, as the full leader and CEO of
7:14
Speaker 3: the organization, I do believe would be better good. However,
7:19
Speaker 3: Matt has one thing that Vrabel doesn't. Rabel was never
7:23
Speaker 3: a play caller. If I don't belie, if I'm not mistaken,
7:26
Speaker 3: I don't really believe he ever called defensive plays, like
7:29
Speaker 3: even when he was in Houston before he got the text,
7:33
Speaker 3: before he got the Titan's job. I believe he was
7:36
Speaker 3: linebackers and run game coordinator, and I could be wrong. Now,
7:40
Speaker 3: maybe he did call defensive plays. Now he doesn't, and
7:43
Speaker 3: now he has not called plays for a long time.
7:48
Speaker 3: But you just saw somebody on the defensive side go
7:51
Speaker 3: against him, and McDonald's one of the first defensive play
7:55
Speaker 3: calling head coaches to ever win the Super Bowl. Most
7:58
Speaker 3: defensive coaches like Vrabel, like Mike Tomlin when he got
8:01
Speaker 3: the job, like Brian floor As when he was a
8:03
Speaker 3: head coach, said I'm gonna let somebody else call the defense.
8:06
Speaker 3: Jonathan Gannon, who the Packers just brought in, I'm gonna
8:08
Speaker 3: let somebody else call the defense, and I'm gonna be
8:10
Speaker 3: the CEO. So I think Rabel's better in that regard
8:13
Speaker 3: because we've never seen Laflour do it. But I also
8:17
Speaker 3: think Lafleur is far and away more valuable as an
8:23
Speaker 3: offensive play calling head coach. So I would not want
8:26
Speaker 3: Matt to not have play calling daties because I think
8:29
Speaker 3: him calling plays is one of the biggest reasons why
8:32
Speaker 3: he's a top ten or twelve coach in football.
8:36
Speaker 4: He was a decordinator one year in Houston in twenty seventeen.
8:39
Speaker 2: Before that was Lambacker's coach, but the.
8:41
Speaker 1: Offensive for those two For those who have forgotten. In
8:46
Speaker 1: Mike Rabel's first year in Tennessee, who was his offensive coordinator?
8:50
Speaker 2: Matt Lafloor.
8:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, nine to seven with the Marcus Mariota and
8:53
Speaker 1: the injury and stuff.
8:55
Speaker 3: Twenty seventh ranked offense, but worked out to get in
8:58
Speaker 3: the interviews process too.
8:59
Speaker 1: Indeed, indeed, so they were nine and seven that year
9:02
Speaker 1: when they overlapped.
9:03
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. So just a this is a question that
9:06
Speaker 2: came out.
9:07
Speaker 1: I'm thinking they both coached now because Rabel had the
9:10
Speaker 1: gap year, right, mm hmm. So they both coached seven years,
9:14
Speaker 1: and Lefluor clearly has the better record. But it's vibes, man,
9:18
Speaker 1: it's vibes and and all it is for many it's oh,
9:22
Speaker 1: it's case closed. He's been to a super Bowl, he
9:24
Speaker 1: won a championship, you know, And so Rabel is what
9:28
Speaker 1: won and one in championship games, and Lafleur is.
9:30
Speaker 2: Oh and oh and two.
9:31
Speaker 3: However, I look at both of them, and I think
9:34
Speaker 3: both of them are better coaches than Nick Sirianni. Neither
9:37
Speaker 3: of them have won a championship, does have one and
9:41
Speaker 3: went to another one. That's and I still think he's
9:44
Speaker 3: an overgrown cheerleader on the sideline. That's like me saying
9:46
Speaker 3: I struggle. I struggled to see like and fully equate
9:51
Speaker 3: all of the value and where it's just case closed. Well,
9:54
Speaker 3: but his ring, there's a ring on his fingers, so
9:56
Speaker 3: he's definitely bad.
9:56
Speaker 1: That's that's the old Uh to make that a fun question, Well,
10:01
Speaker 1: that's like saying, you know, intellectually, I would rather have
10:04
Speaker 1: Josh Ellen or Lamar Johnson as my quarterback than Sam Donald.
10:07
Speaker 2: Yet Sam Donald's got a Super Bowl and they don't.
10:09
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well, and then also, you know, Ryan Clark
10:12
Speaker 3: was getting fried yesterday on the Super Sweet Disney set
10:14
Speaker 3: that they had where he's like, yeah, I'm looking through
10:17
Speaker 3: the NFC and I take nine quarterbacks over Sam Donald.
10:21
Speaker 2: Like how dare you? How dare you? Well?
10:24
Speaker 3: I he's both guys, him and U or whether whoever
10:29
Speaker 3: it was the two guys that went through it, and
10:30
Speaker 3: dan Orlowski was aproplectic on both both both guys had
10:34
Speaker 3: Jordan Love into the conversation. Now, some would throw what
10:37
Speaker 3: I put brock party over Sam Donald. Well, Kyle Shanahan
10:41
Speaker 3: started brock Purty over Sam Donald and decided that they
10:43
Speaker 3: were the choice him. He had the choice, He had
10:45
Speaker 3: him in his building. Right, You're not taking anybody in
10:48
Speaker 3: the conference over Matthew Stafford.
10:49
Speaker 2: It's amazing.
10:50
Speaker 3: Nobody really even put Jalen Hurts above him, and Jalen
10:54
Speaker 3: Hurts just won the Super Bowl and was Super Bowl
10:57
Speaker 3: MVP when he did it, So like you start to
11:00
Speaker 3: get it up, and I mean, there was a lot
11:01
Speaker 3: of love for Caleb Williams into the conversation, there was
11:03
Speaker 3: a lot of love for other guys into the mix
11:06
Speaker 3: that you it can't be as clean cut as you
11:10
Speaker 3: want it, so it's over. But the Hawks defense, the
11:14
Speaker 3: Seattle Seahawks did win the Super Bowl and their general manager,
11:17
Speaker 3: I don't know was Executive of the Year that one.
11:19
Speaker 3: I would say clean cut John Schneider, that might just
11:22
Speaker 3: be na renamed the John Schneider Award.
11:27
Speaker 1: That dovetails into the next one. Uh is John Schneider
11:30
Speaker 1: now a Hall of Famer? I think he is in
11:34
Speaker 1: the Founders category. I think he is in the category.
11:37
Speaker 2: I mean, I think so, I would do. I don't
11:40
Speaker 2: think anybody is a Hall of Famer after Craft.
11:44
Speaker 3: Mike Shanahan is still Mike Shanahan is still not a
11:47
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer. Damn near half the league came off
11:51
Speaker 3: of his tree absurd and they gave his son the
11:54
Speaker 3: tree when his son was only in the league and
11:56
Speaker 3: calling Blaze because his dad had the job.
11:58
Speaker 4: Now you're with you on that. I heard saying that
12:00
Speaker 4: Andy Reid can't go win first ballot. Now he said
12:03
Speaker 4: he can't go win first ballot. If Belichick's not first ballot,
12:05
Speaker 4: nobody is. Now the gatekeepers are going to be starting
12:08
Speaker 4: here in football the way he don't like the baseball
12:10
Speaker 4: gamekeepers starting.
12:11
Speaker 2: I don't know, now, I don't know.
12:13
Speaker 1: Baseball game voters in the eighties are paying for the
12:16
Speaker 1: sins of people who didn't make Babors unanimous.
12:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's why there was there was some brave soul.
12:22
Speaker 4: Now that wasn't gonna bowl for Jeter because he was
12:25
Speaker 4: gonna uphold the honor and integrity of the Hall of Fame, Right, Billy,
12:28
Speaker 4: Billy Milwaukee. I'm selling the vrabel as a better coach
12:31
Speaker 4: keeping the floor. Our time is coming for extended postseason.
12:34
Speaker 2: Let's go. I like that. I like your energy on
12:37
Speaker 2: that one. Are you buying her?
12:38
Speaker 1: Selling that the Patriots next season will experience more regression
12:43
Speaker 1: to the mean my favorite sports phrase than the Chicago Bears.
12:47
Speaker 2: I had a good feeling that was gonna be the
12:49
Speaker 2: very more. I don't know. I mean, that's a tough question.
12:53
Speaker 4: Who will experience more regression, like who's gonna have a
12:56
Speaker 4: better record, basically.
12:57
Speaker 1: Who's gonna have the tougher They're both going to get
12:59
Speaker 1: the first schedule, which is different they're going to get,
13:03
Speaker 1: you know, and just the Bears again when you win
13:05
Speaker 1: what six seven games in the last two minutes and
13:08
Speaker 1: the sustainable again not sustainable super armonizing of the question,
13:13
Speaker 1: I think the Bears might be eye test a better
13:16
Speaker 1: football team, but I think the Patriots will have a
13:18
Speaker 1: better record.
13:19
Speaker 3: Right, but I think the AFC is worse. I think
13:22
Speaker 3: the Bears play in a far better division. But I
13:25
Speaker 3: also think the Pats have a bunch of money still
13:27
Speaker 3: to spend in the offseason, and the Bears don't. Like
13:29
Speaker 3: they got some tough questions to answer.
13:31
Speaker 1: Bears had in so many ways, they had just the
13:33
Speaker 1: inside straight right, they had like their entire line stayed
13:36
Speaker 1: healthy all year, which hardly ever happens. I look at
13:39
Speaker 1: Zach Tom and Elton Jenkins are playing. How much different
13:42
Speaker 1: is the package? Yeah, the path of the Packer season
13:44
Speaker 1: even without Michael Parsons, right, it's like very much. So
13:47
Speaker 1: it's a different but they run the ball better and
13:49
Speaker 1: everything changes.
13:50
Speaker 3: But I also looked at the look at the game
13:52
Speaker 3: on Sunday night. Now, maybe this was also with my
13:55
Speaker 3: Patriots plus eleven and a half and trying to figure
13:57
Speaker 3: out how on earth they're gonna score two touchdowns late
13:59
Speaker 3: they will. It almost made me feel like at most
14:02
Speaker 3: positions drew the Bear. I would have taken the Bear's
14:04
Speaker 3: position group over the Patriots. Like outside of quarterback, I
14:08
Speaker 3: would have taken all of the Bears running backs over
14:10
Speaker 3: the Patriots running backs. I would have taken the Bears
14:12
Speaker 3: offensive line ten times out of ten over that Pats
14:14
Speaker 3: offensive line. DJ Moore Roma Dune say, all those wide
14:18
Speaker 3: receivers burdening company. Yeah, I know Dane was good, but
14:21
Speaker 3: I'm taking them over over Booty and Pop Douglas.
14:24
Speaker 4: And they and they had an inside straight to of
14:26
Speaker 4: a schedule. I mean, so the Patriots did too. So
14:29
Speaker 4: that's why I might surprise you to say this. And
14:31
Speaker 4: I'd like to know how much Drake may has really hurt.
14:33
Speaker 4: That's something we might not know because he didn't look
14:35
Speaker 4: good for the last month, but he was also supposedly hurt.
14:38
Speaker 4: I tend to think the Bears are gonna win more
14:41
Speaker 4: just because of Caleb.
14:42
Speaker 2: I mean, Caleb can do more special explode.
14:47
Speaker 6: On.
14:48
Speaker 4: He can do more special explode Drake. He can do
14:51
Speaker 4: these special expos things. He's got the receivers.
14:55
Speaker 2: In the head space.
14:56
Speaker 1: Caleb's got more win in his sales going in the
14:58
Speaker 1: next season because Drake May is going to see him
15:00
Speaker 1: ghosts all summer long.
15:02
Speaker 2: I yeah, I agree, I just we will. I guess
15:05
Speaker 2: we'll never know how Salthy was.
15:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, one's gonna watch the ghosts of the Super Bowl,
15:09
Speaker 3: and the other one's gonna only see his highlight tape.
15:11
Speaker 2: He's gonna see his pass against the Packers.
15:13
Speaker 4: Well, and Sam Donald now is the hope for all
15:15

15:45
Speaker 1: our halftime correspondent Scott Dolphin from the country station down
15:49
Speaker 1: the hall. Uh, Olympics here in full swing. Are you
15:52
Speaker 1: an Olympic sky? Are you glued to it? What's your
15:55
Speaker 1: favorite Olympic sport to watch?
15:56
Speaker 7: I've always enjoyed it. I wouldn't say I'm glued to it.
15:58
Speaker 7: And of course we were in the in the on
16:00
Speaker 7: boots on the beach last week, so I was out
16:01
Speaker 7: of the country, didn't see any of it. Last night
16:03
Speaker 7: was the first night I really sat down and tried
16:05
Speaker 7: to focus my favorite sport. I mean, I love ski jumping.
16:10
Speaker 7: My god, those guys are crazy.
16:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, but now you got freestyle skiing, you got ski
16:14
Speaker 4: air out.
16:15
Speaker 2: There's all of different things.
16:17
Speaker 4: You talk about, the old school straight ski jump where
16:19
Speaker 4: they're catching air and all that stuff.
16:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're the Norwegian's rule, right, I'm telling you were
16:23
Speaker 2: getting our butts beat in by the Norwegians and the Dutch. Yeah. Well, well,
16:27
Speaker 2: I mean Winter Olympics.
16:28
Speaker 7: I don't think have we ever in the history of
16:30
Speaker 7: the Olympics ever won the metal count when it comes
16:32
Speaker 7: to the Winter Olympics.
16:33
Speaker 4: I had to check that out, but I think there
16:34
Speaker 4: were some years were in the mix. Maybe in Squaw
16:37
Speaker 4: Valley in nineteen sixties.
16:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, good reference.
16:39
Speaker 7: It's probably been a while, but last night I really
16:42
Speaker 7: tried to focus, but I just couldn't get into it.
16:45
Speaker 7: I was it was downhill, but I didn't see any
16:47
Speaker 7: you know, us years when I was watching. So I
16:50
Speaker 7: was going back to the Bucks game and but I tried,
16:52
Speaker 7: I tried and try. Now, now the curling kind of
16:55
Speaker 7: fascinated me. I didn't realize there was mixed doubles curling.
16:57
Speaker 7: I mean, as we were talking off air, it takes
16:59
Speaker 7: me back to my mixed doubles bowling Saturday.
17:02
Speaker 2: Night leagues with my wife. I mean Red Burnham Bull
17:05
Speaker 2: or an amm.
17:07
Speaker 7: Bave Bowl, bav you bowler, right, and then we are
17:09
Speaker 7: Lucky Lucky Lanes at fiftieth and Howard, is there a
17:12
Speaker 7: longer season in sports than league bowling?
17:14
Speaker 2: In Wisconsin weeks.
17:16
Speaker 3: It's professional wrestling and Wisconsin Tavern League bowling are the
17:20
Speaker 3: two that never stopped. There's about four or five weeks
17:23
Speaker 3: when the couple of guys that are already retired at
17:25
Speaker 3: from the factory right around now, they go to Florida.
17:28
Speaker 3: So we can't start without Larry because he's been the
17:30
Speaker 3: commissioner of the of the league for a long time.
17:33
Speaker 3: So you do have to take that little snowbird season.
17:36
Speaker 2: But it is.
17:37
Speaker 3: It is a tradition unlike any other. There's a Labor
17:39
Speaker 3: Day to Memorial Day pretty much. Isn't it bowling much?
17:42
Speaker 2: Sconsin, I'm playing all through summer.
17:45
Speaker 3: Come on, It's like it's like baseball now in travel ball,
17:47
Speaker 3: because you got as ball ball. You can't you can't
17:49
Speaker 3: be missing out on those six weeks.
17:50
Speaker 7: I had this conversation with my friends. They were serious bowlers,
17:53
Speaker 7: but they said, drinking alone, you almost have to take
17:55
Speaker 7: out a second mortgage with the amount of beer you
17:58
Speaker 7: drink over those nine months.
17:59
Speaker 1: That's true in bowling leagues. That's how the lanes make
18:02
Speaker 1: all there. That's shoes for a dollar and then fifteen beers.
18:05
Speaker 3: I it was the funniest thing is for somebody that
18:09
Speaker 3: got as much entertainment out of bowling alleys and despises
18:14
Speaker 3: the sport like I do. It's a very very strange
18:17
Speaker 3: conundrum because I used to go with my pops to
18:19
Speaker 3: bowling two or three nights a week, right, and that
18:21
Speaker 3: was always the best time. Oh you're getting three or
18:24
Speaker 3: four games arcade, They're all gonna have beers, and then
18:27
Speaker 3: at some point I'm gonna get a soda, and then
18:30
Speaker 3: everyone's gonna have two or three beers and forget that
18:32
Speaker 3: I already had my soda.
18:33
Speaker 2: I'm going a second soda.
18:34
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get a second soda. There's no way that
18:37
Speaker 3: this is gonna get better before we go home. So
18:40
Speaker 3: I had so much time spent in a bowling alley.
18:43
Speaker 3: But man, do I suck at the game?
18:45
Speaker 2: Yeah? I can't. I couldn't be worse. I could not
18:47
Speaker 2: be worse. Yeah.
18:48
Speaker 7: And I you know, it wasn't a big deal in
18:50
Speaker 7: Iowa growing up like it is here. I mean when
18:53
Speaker 7: I moved to Milwaukee, it was They're like, oh, you
18:55
Speaker 7: got to take a bowling figure it out.
18:57
Speaker 2: I mean, this is this is kind of one of
18:59
Speaker 2: the heartbeats of of the PBA.
19:01
Speaker 7: Right over the years, guys have come here from here
19:04
Speaker 7: and become big stars. And it's it's not uncommon when
19:07
Speaker 7: we go have wings at Classic Lanes and Oak Creek
19:10
Speaker 7: on a Thursday night, somebody's rolling a three hundred in there.
19:12
Speaker 2: Oh for sure, it's on Layton, So I don't know what.
19:16
Speaker 2: That's a good one too.
19:17
Speaker 4: That's my door we used to go walk to at
19:19
Speaker 4: Greenfield High School for the bowling part of our gym class.
19:22
Speaker 4: We love that you just get out, walk on lighton,
19:24
Speaker 4: walk across the street.
19:25
Speaker 2: Price. You didn't have a bowling alley in your high school, dude,
19:28
Speaker 2: we had. We are bowling class.
19:31
Speaker 3: We have bowling in pe though we'd fire up the
19:34
Speaker 3: big old rubber balls throughout plastic pins.
19:36
Speaker 2: I remember those.
19:37
Speaker 3: That was a good two or three week, three week period.
19:39
Speaker 3: The carpet, which is.
19:40
Speaker 2: Tough for athletically bowling or golf. Oh, golf, I feel
19:46
Speaker 2: walking because of the walking.
19:47
Speaker 7: Well for me, it's just well, no, I ride in
19:50
Speaker 7: the cark and and smoked cigars and drink.
19:52
Speaker 2: But the problem with golf is I've been.
19:54
Speaker 7: Playing golf since I was in sixth grade regularly and
19:58
Speaker 7: I still am not good. I bowled like eighteen times
20:01
Speaker 7: in my life, and I, you know, occasionally would roll
20:03
Speaker 7: it too close to two hundred.
20:05
Speaker 2: You know what.
20:06
Speaker 1: Sports that now they encourage and sometimes performance enhancing smoking
20:11
Speaker 1: and drinking while comporting yourself that when.
20:14
Speaker 3: I get better ring fluid. It's a tough one for
20:17
Speaker 3: me to say. Is super competitive, pops, you know?
20:19
Speaker 2: I mean, So here's my group.
20:21
Speaker 7: If we show up at the golf course and we
20:22
Speaker 7: do mostly Milwaukee county courses on a Thursday night. If
20:25
Speaker 7: we show up and there's no carts a lot because
20:27
Speaker 7: it rained that day. See see, let's go grab a
20:29
Speaker 7: sandwich something else.
20:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is my kind of crew because that is
20:33
Speaker 3: that's one that I'm just not going to be able
20:35
Speaker 3: to do. I'm going out there to enjoy exactly what
20:37
Speaker 3: Dolf said, the drinking and the smoking of cigars. And
20:40
Speaker 3: if we're not going to be able to do both,
20:41
Speaker 3: because I can't do both. If I'm trying to walk
20:43
Speaker 3: this thing, I'm gonna have to change it up. The
20:45
Speaker 3: bowling alley though, you want to talk about smoking and drinking.
20:47
Speaker 3: I wonder how many folks got better and or worse
20:51
Speaker 3: when the smoking band came in inside of bowling alleys.
20:54
Speaker 3: That was probably a competitive advantage or disadvantage for certain folks.
20:58
Speaker 2: That's a great point that's been like fifteen years.
21:00
Speaker 3: Not be able to take a quick drag right after
21:02
Speaker 3: it before you go and try to pick up that
21:04
Speaker 3: you know, eight ten spare that you have sitting out there.
21:06
Speaker 2: That's a tough one to be able to mess. You
21:08
Speaker 2: have that marine layer of smoke just to bow the lanes.
21:11
Speaker 4: You start bowling after class Thursday and college. His market
21:14
Speaker 4: has like a bowling alley and their little annex on campus.
21:17
Speaker 2: I've been there that there, and it was a dollar game.
21:19
Speaker 4: So we bowl every weekend. I was starting to get
21:20
Speaker 4: better and better. I was still in the hundreds, but
21:23
Speaker 4: my buddies would try and you know, do the role,
21:25
Speaker 4: the the the curve and all that stuff. And one time,
21:28
Speaker 4: one time I bowled a two twenty four. I will
21:30
Speaker 4: never forget it. I never got close to two hundred
21:33
Speaker 4: ever again. I printed that thing out. They had to
21:35
Speaker 4: print it out for me. I went through the desk
21:37
Speaker 4: and ask them. But it worked outcause my buddies were
21:39
Speaker 4: just gonna say, how bad do you wish you had
21:41
Speaker 4: an iPhone?
21:41
Speaker 2: Or you're saying be able to take a picture. I
21:44
Speaker 2: was so proud of myself, all right. I did the research.
21:46
Speaker 2: By the way, I went through every year.
21:47
Speaker 4: We only won the medal table in the Winter Olympics
21:51
Speaker 4: total medals in nineteen thirty two. That was at Lake Placid.
21:54
Speaker 4: Oh well, I was nineteen nineteen thirty two and twenty
21:56
Speaker 4: ten in Vancouver. We did win in two and did
21:58
Speaker 4: win the total medals, not most golds, but total medals.
22:01
Speaker 4: So if you had that in your Bengo card, and
22:03
Speaker 4: we're no way wins a lot of years. When I
22:06
Speaker 4: said win, I think medals for the old that's about
22:10
Speaker 4: Oh sorry, So I was gonna ask the Olympic officionado
22:14
Speaker 4: here which one is more important, because I think you
22:16
Speaker 4: just win the most medals, But you know, winning the
22:19
Speaker 4: most events is winning the most gold medal.
22:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're in culture, We're Americans.
22:23
Speaker 4: We want golds number one that I like that you
22:27
Speaker 4: can flood the every event with people and get a
22:31
Speaker 4: bunch of medals.
22:33
Speaker 2: I like this.
22:33
Speaker 3: We're not trying to get a bunch of singles. I mean,
22:36
Speaker 3: we're going for slugging percentage in gold medals. All right,
22:38
Speaker 3: then we're only one back.
22:39
Speaker 4: It's like five straight Olympics where the Soviets dominated both,
22:41
Speaker 4: you know, back in their you know Soviet machine days.
22:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, back when they had sixty countries.
22:45
Speaker 4: You think they're cool, You think they're cool with silvers,
22:48
Speaker 4: they throw silvers away, They throw silvers away.
22:52
Speaker 2: Back in the day. They better win gold.
22:53
Speaker 3: Back in the day, the strength and conditioning coaches speaking,
22:56
Speaker 3: you know what they're doing over there, you.
22:58
Speaker 2: Know they're doing it. You know what they're doing.
23:00
Speaker 3: Silliots they're throwing that silver medal away. We're going for
23:02
Speaker 3: a gold here? Is it wrong that I have not say?
23:06
Speaker 1: I haven't watched more than ten minutes of the Olympics
23:08
Speaker 1: so far, and I don't know how much bandwidth you have.
23:10
Speaker 2: Right, it's like, I mean eight minutes.
23:12
Speaker 1: And then it's like if I'm gonna be if I'm
23:14
Speaker 1: at home, it's like I'm gonna watch something while making dinner.
23:16
Speaker 2: Am I gonna have the Olympics on?
23:18
Speaker 1: Or will I watch the miracle doc The Miracle Dock
23:21
Speaker 1: on Netflix.
23:21
Speaker 2: Which I haven't seen. I haven't either, but I hear
23:23
Speaker 2: it's incredible. I want I would rather watch that than
23:25
Speaker 2: what it looks? Amazing? What about amazing? What about today?
23:29
Speaker 7: USA versus Canada women's hockey at one o'clock.
23:32
Speaker 2: It's a big one. That's big, that's the one to watch.
23:35
Speaker 7: Twenty five, twenty three all time in favor of the Canucks.
23:39
Speaker 2: Got to get got some badger representation, we do.
23:42
Speaker 7: And yeah, somebody scored a goal yesterday and there and
23:44
Speaker 7: there went over Switzerland Wisconsin hockey players, So yeah, well
23:47
Speaker 7: represented on Team USA. And probably there's might be one
23:50
Speaker 7: or two on Team Canada.
23:51
Speaker 2: There usually is.
23:52
Speaker 3: See well, that's that's the tough thing, is Drew, Like,
23:55
Speaker 3: I'm with you. I think I've maybe watched ten minutes
23:58
Speaker 3: and probably eight of it was spent watching is bad
24:00
Speaker 3: as it sounds Lindsay Vonn's video, like you start to
24:03
Speaker 3: see I watch the sports that I watch, right So,
24:07
Speaker 3: like when the Summer Olympics come, the most that I'll
24:10
Speaker 3: end up watching is team USA play basketball or like
24:13
Speaker 3: this one. I feel like I'll probably watch the men's
24:15
Speaker 3: and women's hockey team. Where I should be watching curling,
24:18
Speaker 3: I should be watching more figure skating and speed skating,
24:21
Speaker 3: but I'll probably.
24:22
Speaker 2: Watch the ones that I've watched. I probably watched on skates.
24:24
Speaker 2: It will not be impressive. It's impressive, no doubt.
24:26
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm watching these cats fly through the air
24:28
Speaker 7: and here right now on whatever is running.
24:30
Speaker 2: My god, that's ridiculous.
24:31
Speaker 4: You know what with these they're doing tricks and stuff,
24:33
Speaker 4: and I don't know what's supposed to be good and not.
24:35
Speaker 4: They all look impressive to me, so then they judge
24:37
Speaker 4: it differently and I'm like, I don't know that I
24:39
Speaker 4: would like to see like a race, like so I
24:41
Speaker 4: know who the winner and loser is visually and Summer Olympics.
24:44
Speaker 7: I love watching the track, the sprinters. That's always fun.
24:49
Speaker 2: Yeah.
24:49
Speaker 7: Winter intrigues me because it's sports you never see ever.
24:53
Speaker 7: Uh you know, you know they're they're skating through the
24:56
Speaker 7: they're they're skiing through the woods, and then they stop
24:58
Speaker 7: and fire off a couple of rounds.
25:00
Speaker 2: That's bad, yeah, and then and then on they go.
25:03
Speaker 2: I mean that's just stuff you never see, combining stuff
25:05
Speaker 2: that everyone does right across a rifle.
25:09
Speaker 3: Fire this thing out, all right, now we got to
25:11
Speaker 3: skin it, be able to figure it out.
25:13
Speaker 1: Let's let's trap up the burkabiner racers. That's coming up,
25:17
Speaker 1: birket Biner. Everybody's strapped, everybody. I'm just waiting for.
25:20
Speaker 2: Them to do a poker run on life.
25:23
Speaker 3: I mean, you tell me you can hit six taverns
25:25
Speaker 3: in twelve hours, and now that would be a sort
25:30
Speaker 3: that would be good luck.
25:33
Speaker 4: Wait waitill short track starts though. Then then when you
25:36
Speaker 4: do short track relays and there's like all the people
25:38
Speaker 4: in the middle of the short track and all the
25:40
Speaker 4: guys in the outside and they're all tagging in and out,
25:42
Speaker 4: it looks like complete chaos.
25:43
Speaker 2: I love that one. That's a good one.
25:44
Speaker 7: But whatever's on right now? Arman, these dudes have like
25:48
Speaker 7: just regular sweatpants on. They're flapping in the wind, so
25:51
Speaker 7: clearly there's strategy to that, right, So they have to
25:53
Speaker 7: catch air, so they have baggy pants.
25:55
Speaker 4: On snow pants, aren't I mean that's the wind drag, right, Yeah.
26:00
Speaker 2: So I don't know.
26:00
Speaker 4: That's like at this point it's more important to look
26:02
Speaker 4: cool than worry about aerodynamics, right, So they're probably trying
26:05
Speaker 4: to look with their pants.
26:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I'm sure Norway is gonna win again. I
26:09
Speaker 2: don't know. Sebastian looked pretty damn cool. This is not
26:15
Speaker 2: big what do they call this event? It's it's like,
26:18
Speaker 2: I don't know.
26:18
Speaker 3: We were a real but I did see Armande your point,
26:22
Speaker 3: like there was a snowboarding race down the hill. That's
26:24
Speaker 3: appreciate that. Let me know who wins, Yeah, because I
26:27
Speaker 3: can figure that one out pretty clearly. And and Dolph,
26:30
Speaker 3: I don't know if you ever did now coming in
26:33
Speaker 3: in Iowa? Are snow sports skiing or snowboarding that big?
26:37
Speaker 3: Did you ever have a time when you tried to
26:40
Speaker 3: grab the burdens?
26:41
Speaker 7: So I grew up outside Dubuque, so we had the
26:43
Speaker 7: sundown ski hill in Dubukee because it's Mississippi River Valley,
26:47
Speaker 7: so big, big ol' hills over there. So yeah, we
26:49
Speaker 7: would go field trips to uh to ski. I could
26:52
Speaker 7: do it. I wasn't great at it. It was it
26:55
Speaker 7: was mostly Bunny Hill. One time, by a mistake, I
26:57
Speaker 7: got on the Black Diamond and that was horrible nightmares.
27:00
Speaker 2: Crystal Ridge moment for me.
27:04
Speaker 3: Explain to Crystal Ridge moment that I had on that
27:06
Speaker 3: play it again in sports.
27:07
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
27:08
Speaker 3: Snowboard that I bought there in fifth grade can only
27:10
Speaker 3: turn one way. It was a dangerous way.
27:12
Speaker 2: People die on the snowboards that bad way the boarding.
27:17
Speaker 1: My thing is, how can they have that when they
27:18
Speaker 1: test for weed because everybody I know that's in the snowboarding.
27:24
Speaker 2: For twenty friends.
27:25
Speaker 1: So we're not getting the best athletes and we're not
27:26
Speaker 1: getting the best competitors.

28:33
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us.
28:34
Speaker 6: Appreciate you friend does thank you for having me.
28:37
Speaker 1: All right, we've been sifting through. Bad Bunny drew a
28:40
Speaker 1: record audience. Some folks enjoyed the stylings of kid rock
28:46
Speaker 1: and the alternative show in totality.
28:49
Speaker 2: What did you think of Super Bowl Sunday.
28:52
Speaker 6: I gotta say, I think that's one of the worst
28:54
Speaker 6: super Bowls. I've been a line more kind of across
28:58
Speaker 6: the board, right spoil. The game was pretty putrid. It
29:04
Speaker 6: lived down to my expectations for a Drake May Sam
29:08
Speaker 6: Darnold super Bowl matchup. And then I think I'm done
29:13
Speaker 6: with the Super Bowl being an ad showcase at this point.
29:16
Speaker 6: I think it's been on life support for a few
29:19
Speaker 6: years now. I think the idea of it is more
29:23
Speaker 6: reputation than reality. Because you watched the game and I
29:27
Speaker 6: other than the Brad Pitt Netflix Cliff Booth movie, nothing
29:33
Speaker 6: really stood out, nothing really had a moment. And not
29:36
Speaker 6: just saying the Brad Pitt Cliff Booth movie because I'm
29:39
Speaker 6: a movie guy, because of course the movie guy picks
29:42
Speaker 6: a movie trailer as his favorite super Bowl commercial. But
29:45
Speaker 6: that was one of the only Super Bowl ads that
29:47
Speaker 6: came out as a surprise that in the moment you
29:51
Speaker 6: saw on screen and you were like, WHOA, I gotta
29:54
Speaker 6: stop talking and see what's going on on the screen.
29:57
Speaker 6: Whereas every other Super Bowl ad now has tread out
30:00
Speaker 6: a week beforehand is in probably a shortened, crappier version
30:05
Speaker 6: than the actual longer version of the ad and it
30:09
Speaker 6: probably looks like crap because it's probably bad CG or
30:13
Speaker 6: AI or they didn't film the commercial with any of
30:17
Speaker 6: the celebrities actually in this being in the same room together,
30:20
Speaker 6: and it looks like it. I think we got to
30:23
Speaker 6: just hit the rece We gotta unplug me super Bowl
30:26
Speaker 6: ads and give them a timeout for like a year.
30:30
Speaker 3: Like this is an analogy put out, blowing the cartridge,
30:33
Speaker 3: put it back into the I got.
30:36
Speaker 1: This is like awake and bake analogy. Though have Super
30:39
Speaker 1: Bowl commercials? Has it come to the point of, like
30:42
Speaker 1: the NBA Dunk Contest, we've run out of things to
30:44
Speaker 1: do and be creative, and it's like, you know, it
30:48
Speaker 1: can only humanly, it's only humanly possible to do so
30:50
Speaker 1: many things, and it's like we've we're tapped out on
30:53
Speaker 1: it for a while.
30:54
Speaker 6: You're right, I think that's a really good analogy, because
30:58
Speaker 6: this feels like the White Howard uh putting on a
31:02
Speaker 6: super band cape, like Blake Blake Griffin jumping over the hood.
31:09
Speaker 6: We're in the like gimmick era. We're in the like, oh,
31:14
Speaker 6: we're not doing anything fun or interesting right now. I mean,
31:16
Speaker 6: even the good commercials like the guy Fiery Bosh commercial
31:20
Speaker 6: was one that I thought was good because I thought
31:23
Speaker 6: it was a fun premise. I thought it actually did
31:26
Speaker 6: a good job of being like, hey, Bosh also makes
31:28
Speaker 6: power tools, which is something. Literally.
31:30
Speaker 2: The person next to me was like, I had no
31:32
Speaker 2: idea they did that.
31:33
Speaker 6: I was like, congratulations, yeah, but it wasn't as funny
31:36
Speaker 6: as you wanted it to be, and it looked bad,
31:40
Speaker 6: like it looked like a crummy, cheap ad because they
31:43
Speaker 6: clearly didn't film it on like an actual set.
31:46
Speaker 2: So it's just stuff like that.
31:48
Speaker 6: I yeah, I'm done. I'm done with Super Bowl ads
31:51
Speaker 6: for a while.
31:52
Speaker 4: How much is this spot like Goodwill Duncan with all
31:54
Speaker 4: those celebrities that you mentioned the other thing?
31:56
Speaker 2: As we say how to you? I love this one?
31:58
Speaker 4: Which kind which Zelda eyes that name that's at job,
32:03
Speaker 4: she's not sure.
32:05
Speaker 2: What and she is fighting me.
32:07
Speaker 4: It's the It seemed like throwing money in celebrities was
32:11
Speaker 4: the idea for the last five to ten years, and
32:13
Speaker 4: that's still going on. I mean, but the funniest, in
32:16
Speaker 4: my opinion, the funniest and most amazing commercial of our
32:19
Speaker 4: youth didn't have celebrities. It was it was just the
32:21
Speaker 4: creativity of the spot.
32:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, I I that's always so frustrating to me. They
32:25
Speaker 6: have these commercials where they clearly spent a lot of
32:27
Speaker 6: money to get all these celebrities together and spent no
32:31
Speaker 6: money giving them anything funny or interesting to say. And
32:34
Speaker 6: I think that Goodwill Duncan Ad is a really good
32:37
Speaker 6: example of how little thought goes into the actual ad itself,
32:40
Speaker 6: because like, what was the concept of that ad is
32:44
Speaker 6: so convoluted and confusing that like, oh, before they made
32:50
Speaker 6: Goodwill Hunting, it was actually a duncan themed ninety sitcom
32:57
Speaker 6: starring other ninety sitcom stars, and so Tom Brady is there,
33:01
Speaker 6: who was not popular in the nineties, And like, if
33:04
Speaker 6: I'm thinking this hard about the concept of your ad,
33:08
Speaker 6: you screwed up, Like you're really messed up your bit.
33:12
Speaker 6: And then there's like a two and a half minute
33:14
Speaker 6: long full version that is literally just extra theme song.
33:19
Speaker 2: I like, but I, you're right, You're right about it.
33:23
Speaker 4: Creative the millennials, right, And I mean it had Guiani
33:28
Speaker 4: and George and dead Dance and see it just now,
33:31
Speaker 4: you're right about everything you said.
33:33
Speaker 2: All the guys I did like that part of it,
33:36
Speaker 2: you know, the ted Dancing.
33:37
Speaker 6: Part's funny because anything making fun of Ben Affleck is
33:40
Speaker 6: just It's always fine by me, That's true.
33:43
Speaker 1: It's just I don't know, man, We're just how do
33:46
Speaker 1: we scratch that millennial need for nostalgia?
33:49
Speaker 2: And you know that Ecto coolers and you know, I
33:53
Speaker 2: felt good bomb.
33:56
Speaker 6: We're ever going to get back to the way we
33:58
Speaker 6: felt about the Super Bowl ads before because partly, ay,
34:02
Speaker 6: we all know so much more about the ad industry.
34:05
Speaker 6: We are all, even if you aren't like a media
34:08
Speaker 6: or entertainment guy, you know so much more about what
34:11
Speaker 6: goes into making these ads and the thought process behind them.
34:14
Speaker 2: We all have watched mad Men at this point.
34:17
Speaker 6: And then you know, the industry around super Bowl ads
34:21
Speaker 6: is such that these companies desperately want to be out
34:24
Speaker 6: in front for the week before the super Bowl because
34:28
Speaker 6: they want to be in the articles talking about, ooh,
34:30
Speaker 6: the super Bowl ads and oh, like that is the
34:33
Speaker 6: game now, that is the part that people want to
34:35
Speaker 6: be involved in, the game itself is kind of an afterthought.
34:39
Speaker 6: It's kind of like how they release Christmas movies in November,
34:43
Speaker 6: how like the hottest time for Hallmark movies is Thanksgiving
34:48
Speaker 6: because they want people watching that stuff when people are
34:51
Speaker 6: getting excited for Christmas, and then when Christmas comes around,
34:54
Speaker 6: it's like, besides the fact Hallmark barely ads new Christmas movies,
34:59
Speaker 6: Christmas it because they're like, you've moved on from Christmas
35:02
Speaker 6: by the time Christmas rolls around. Yeah, And that's how
35:05
Speaker 6: super Bowl ads feel, where it's like a week beforehand
35:08
Speaker 6: is the excitement, and then the super Bowl rolls around
35:10
Speaker 6: and you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Jurassic Park Infinity. I say,
35:13
Speaker 6: I saw this a week ago. It's it stinks.
35:16
Speaker 3: Where was that good punchline that I saw in the
35:18
Speaker 3: minute forty five one that I saw online?
35:20
Speaker 2: The best part they cut out and.
35:22
Speaker 6: Then the ads like watch the full ad online and
35:24
Speaker 6: I'm like, I'm absolutely.
35:26
Speaker 2: Not gonna do that.
35:27
Speaker 6: I watched an ad to watch another ad.
35:29
Speaker 2: This is the dummit.
35:30
Speaker 3: There's only been one ad that I've done that for
35:32
Speaker 3: and everybody my age knows they want to go daddy
35:34
Speaker 3: dot com.
35:34
Speaker 4: Yeah.
35:35
Speaker 2: The other one.
35:36
Speaker 3: That I was wondering about, in which I didn't realize
35:39
Speaker 3: that you hit it on the head and I thought
35:40
Speaker 3: it was more of just because I was a football guy.
35:42
Speaker 3: So of course I watched the one that was football dudes,
35:44
Speaker 3: you hit it that we all know so much. The
35:46
Speaker 3: only one that resonated with me was I still didn't
35:49
Speaker 3: know that it was a blood test. I thought, like,
35:50
Speaker 3: you still had to get the actual test on the
35:52
Speaker 3: prostate one where they had the NFL coaches and everything.
35:55
Speaker 3: But if there's something we don't know, we've already almost
35:59
Speaker 3: looked it up. It does feel like there's a tough
36:02
Speaker 3: reboot that you have to have in it. The creativity
36:05
Speaker 3: is one part that I was thinking about, and I
36:08
Speaker 3: got kind of shamed by some of the artistic friends
36:10
Speaker 3: that I had when I brought up because I thought
36:13
Speaker 3: the vibe of the halftime show was nuts. Like there
36:15
Speaker 3: was also some pretty impressive viewing in the first like
36:18
Speaker 3: two and a half minutes. I wouldn't take my eyes
36:20
Speaker 3: off the front of the screen. I don't know where exactly
36:21
Speaker 3: where you're thinking, But I struggled with in twenty twenty five,
36:27
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six, in the world that we have squid
36:29
Speaker 3: games that dominated so much, how did we not have subtitles?
36:34
Speaker 2: So I knew what he was saying because.
36:36
Speaker 8: Like in the world, like I thought that would have
36:38
Speaker 8: because it was so it was so cinematic, it was
36:40
Speaker 8: a story, but I feel like I was left out
36:43
Speaker 8: and they know the song, they know where it was going, Like,
36:46
Speaker 8: I feel like that was the miss but I was
36:48
Speaker 8: told then you're just not appreciating the art. And if
36:51
Speaker 8: you launched squid Game with the subtitles on, you're a
36:53
Speaker 8: jerk because you didn't watch all of the full method acting.
36:57
Speaker 2: What did I miss there? Or A Was I just
36:58
Speaker 2: being too twenty twenty six.
37:00
Speaker 6: No, I think that's actually a really good point. I
37:02
Speaker 6: think the production could have maybe kind of met halfway,
37:06
Speaker 6: being like, let's put some subtitles on this thing. A.
37:09
Speaker 6: Audiences are more and more used to watching things with
37:12
Speaker 6: subtitles now. Even people like having subtitles.
37:16
Speaker 4: I do it all the time Nowause, especially with reality TV,
37:19
Speaker 4: you can't hear what they're saying, hear what they're saying.
37:22
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've read articles that like the audio mix is
37:25
Speaker 6: like designed that way, like it it's a very weird
37:28
Speaker 6: thing that, like audio is so much worse now in
37:31
Speaker 6: a lot of these movies and TV shows, especially the
37:33
Speaker 6: ones made for streaming. But yeah, I think that could
37:36
Speaker 6: have maybe hedged off some of the complaints people.
37:39
Speaker 2: Had of like, oh, you know, I didn't.
37:42
Speaker 6: Understand the songs, and it's like, I don't know he
37:44
Speaker 6: makes dance music like and I mean like the Macharna
37:49
Speaker 6: was the world's biggest song, came seven years ago, and
37:52
Speaker 6: I couldn't tell you that any lyrics what they mean
37:55
Speaker 6: in that song besides Makrena.
37:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, a big hit back. That's another really good one.
38:01
Speaker 6: Yeah, another hit Gundam style was only like fifteen or
38:04
Speaker 6: years or something.
38:07
Speaker 2: You can tell me. I don't know a whole lot
38:08
Speaker 2: of words lyrics. When I was a kid, I just
38:13
Speaker 2: wanted to be cool.
38:14
Speaker 6: And last time I understood an Ariana Grande lyrics. But
38:19
Speaker 6: I just I don't know this idea that I needed
38:21
Speaker 6: to understand the songs that a dance party halftime was
38:25
Speaker 6: kind of confusing.
38:26
Speaker 1: What about what about Matt the idea that this was
38:29
Speaker 1: created for the TV audience, not for the audience and stadium.
38:32
Speaker 1: And that's the shift now. And I don't know how
38:34
Speaker 1: it walked it watched it, but it was clearly very
38:37
Speaker 1: like you said, cinematography and the story and the visuals
38:41
Speaker 1: in the stadium.
38:41
Speaker 2: You're like, Okay, those people.
38:43
Speaker 1: Treat the highlight is watching them make assemble the stage
38:48
Speaker 1: and pull this thing off.
38:49
Speaker 2: In twelve minutes, right.
38:50
Speaker 6: But I wonder if the audience at the Super Bowl
38:53
Speaker 6: felt like they were watching like signs or something like that,
38:56
Speaker 6: just looking at like a field of grass, being like
38:59
Speaker 6: something going on there. It's definitely more for the TV
39:02
Speaker 6: audience at this point. I do think it was a.
39:05
Speaker 2: Really cool production.
39:06
Speaker 6: I really liked the show that he put on, which
39:09
Speaker 6: is what I want from a halftime show. I want
39:11
Speaker 6: to feel like I watched a production on the level
39:15
Speaker 6: of one of the biggest events of.
39:16
Speaker 2: The year, and that's what I got.
39:18
Speaker 6: I thought it was a really just a fun time,
39:22
Speaker 6: and I think a halftime show can be exactly that.
39:26
Speaker 1: Then and then, despite the defections in the kid rock
39:29
Speaker 1: fans and all that, it was the most viewed halftime
39:31
Speaker 1: show ever, beating Kendricks right, and so go figure, the
39:34
Speaker 1: most streamed artist gets the most abused. Like, this is
39:37
Speaker 1: what the NFL wanted and that's why he was there,
39:41
Speaker 1: And like we talked.
39:41
Speaker 6: About last week, for an industry that is always looking
39:46
Speaker 6: at going international and finding new audiences wherever they may be,
39:51
Speaker 6: this is exactly what the NFL wants. You know, they
39:54
Speaker 6: will always be hunting, so they couldn't have audiences everywhere,
39:58
Speaker 6: and they'd be like, we're playing a game in Antarct.
40:00
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, next year, audience.
40:02
Speaker 3: Just wait for that Australia game and uh Steve Irwin's
40:05
Speaker 3: kid Robert two and a halftime show that is gonna
40:07
Speaker 3: be awesome. Him wrestling a crocodile on the fifty yard line.
40:11
Speaker 3: Here's the thought that's gonna make people maybe lose their breakfast.
40:14
Speaker 3: But here that the warm and fuzzies of the ninety
40:16
Speaker 3: stuff that hit Arman. In ten years, is it going
40:19
Speaker 3: to be Alex Earl and Jack Doherty and Clavicular and
40:22
Speaker 3: these influencers on.
40:23
Speaker 2: These mister pieces beast. That was a miss. I mean,
40:27
Speaker 2: I can't I weep for our culture they said twenty
40:31
Speaker 2: years ago. I know it's every.
40:33
Speaker 1: Year that they always say that, And maybe it'll be
40:35
Speaker 1: just K pop stuff. Matt Miller, thank you for hanging
