  Speaker 1: Sarians behind the glass and Dobie Maxwell sitting in for
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Billy Schmid today as Billy takes a couple of days
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: off here midweek. I was hanging out with Billy at
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Bucks Media Day. We'll talk about that a little bit later.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: It was a different vibe. Did you recognize anybody? It
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: was a hello, my name is. A lot of new faces.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Very interesting. Very interesting.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: A lot of new faces.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I think the term I heard someone, maybe it was
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Taylor Jenkins used, was every flower has its bloom and
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: that the, the, the flower of like the honest era
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: is bloomed now, but now you can start to kind
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: of a new one. And, and it is interesting when
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: the it's, it's almost like a different, it's almost like
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: a different league. It's almost like you're in a different
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: league now when you go up to media day now,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: and it's a totally different vibe and it's not the
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: championship contender and all that. It is.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: And they're basically zero expectations and they're on, they have
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: like zero primetime games other than when they play Giannis.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: And now they're on local TV again. They're on local, over-the-air, My24,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: free TV for the fans. That was funny because Wes
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Edens was the first interview yesterday. He comes to the
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: podium and someone asked him, what kind of financial hit
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: did you take? Well, I don't have those numbers in
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: front of me, but we are going to be on
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: over-the-air TV.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: You're welcome.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: He's honest about it. We talk so much about the
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: business of sports and the valuations of change and things
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: like that. I know that ownership is an inflection point
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: always for fans. And, you know, Wes is still there,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously it was Lasry and Eden's and now it's,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: now it's just Wes. And then obviously with Jimmy Haslam,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: but we hadn't heard from any, from Jimmy Haslam as
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the Bucks owner until the stuff with Giannis was popping
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: up and he said, we're going to have a deadline.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: And then people, but now, you know, you had her
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: for Wes Eden's for a while because he had some
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: stuff going on.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: So it is TMZ stuff.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: It is interesting to sort of hear from him when
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: you can and, Hear from Haslam because sometimes it feels like,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: all right, well, who's our dad here? Is it our stepdad?
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Is it our dad? Like, who's the dad of our friend?
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: You know, so it's.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Well, he was asked yesterday, have you thought about selling
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: your shares?
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: And he said, no. Interesting. Because I would think those
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: guys are always thinking about those numbers. Especially after we
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: see what happened with the Lakers.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Lazary dipped out. Aaron Rodgers sold his interest. He's no
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: longer a Bucs owner.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: That's something that's interesting.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: We sold it to Jimmy Haslam.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Which is interesting. I'm sure he made a tidy little song.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah. I think he bought in for 5 million,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: probably at least doubled.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, he definitely made it. I mean, and that's a question.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: A lot of fans have one, like a player will
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: buy an ownership stake. Cause usually I don't want to
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: say it's just ceremonious, but usually that's a lot of it.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Like when you honest bought an ownership in the brewer's stake,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: like keep that. Nobody really knows. Yeah.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I wonder, I'll have to ask, uh, LFA, our buddy,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: John Greenberg, he'll join us tomorrow on the program. Uh,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: At one point, Ben Sheets and Gord Ash were part
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: owners of the Admirals. I wonder if they're still in
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the ownership group. Why would you give it up, though?
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: There's no reason to. Yeah.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Unless you need the liquid flow, which you don't. Yeah.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: It doesn't mean you have to be like a lot
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: of the time. Is it like you're a you're a figure,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: you know, like in front of the face of the
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: team and stuff? Yeah. You got a jersey on. You're
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: throwing the first pitch out. You don't have to do
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: any of that now. I mean, like, you're gone, so
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: you don't have to do anything except let your investment
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: work for you and watch valuations rise across pro sports,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: which they will. They always will.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. All right, so Dobe just performed in
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Vegas at the Brad Garrett Comedy Club at the MGM.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: MGM Grand Hotel.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: That's your spot, right, Toby? Did you get another picture
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of the marquee with your name on it? It's pretty kick-ass.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I did do that.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: I also, it's funny because I wanted to get one,
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: and they took us out to eat. And it's really
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: funny because I knew the brand. comedy book. How do
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: you know that person? Well, she was a waitress in
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Chicago at a club that I worked many times. Her
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: son was about 19 years old and needed a vehicle.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: I went to the Waukegan Auto Auction. I must have
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: bought 50 cars.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I said, come on up. We'll have lunch. We'll go
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: to the auction.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: You get something between $ 1, 500, $ 2, 000. He ended up getting
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: a Chevy Blazer that he drove for three years. This
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: was 25 years ago. And she said, I owe you
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: a favor. And I said, someday, whatever it is, own
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: your famous blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, she ended
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: up marrying the guy that is Carrot Top's opening act.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: And she's the booker of Brad Garrett's club. And I
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: called her up, and she said, absolutely, come on down here.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: So they took us out to eat. I said, I
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: want to get a picture on the marquee. Oh, sorry,
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: at 10 o'clock, it goes down. So you're big star
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: for a day, 10-1, you're trash again. But you know what, Adobe?
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: They did get one, though. You talk a lot about
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: putting good things out in the world. Yes. Because when
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: things happen to you, you can get jaded. I know
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: it's all in your book, Monkey in the Middle. Go
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: buy it if you haven't. Oh, thank you, buddy. This
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: was something I could not put down. Your life story
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: is incredible. I appreciate you, though, because you always talk
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: about no matter what happens, you try and put good
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: stuff out in the world and it comes back to you.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: And this is a great example of it. I'm always
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: very Happy for you when you're playing Vegas. Is it
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: sort of like when you're a comedian and you know
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: how it is in comedy, you know you kind of
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: beat in the bushes for a long time. Sure. You
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: go to any club you can. Is it like getting
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: called up like when you're an MLB player? When you're
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: in AAA for a long time, when you're in the
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: minor league, you get called up, right, a couple times,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: and these are moments you don't ever forget. Like this
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: is your time on the show. Is that what it's
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: like being called up to Vegas? That's a very good question, Armand,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: as always.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: And I'll tell you this, it is like working all
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: those clubs because, The first time I worked in Vegas,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: do you know who Steve Sharippa is?
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, he is. I don't think I know his name.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: He's a big guy.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Steve Sharippa was in The Sopranos.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: The Sopranos. Okay.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Well, before that, he managed a club. He was Bobby Bacala,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: for people who know. He managed a comedy club in
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: Las Vegas. And it was an improv, and Bud Friedman
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: and the whole thing worked out there. So I had
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: a friend get me in the club. And he said,
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: so I had to bring, this was before the internet,
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: so he had to bring physical promo. He had to
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: bring out a video. So he comes in, and he's
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: a large guy. He goes, are you the new guy?
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir, I am.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Takes my promo, throws it across the room. and said,
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: you will be doing six minutes on my stage tonight.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: Not five minutes, not seven minutes. And if you go
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: any bit older and the audience doesn't like you, you
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: will never darken the door of this club again. And
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: I'm shaking like a three-legged dog going through hair and withdrawal.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: What am I going to do? And I look out
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: in the crowd and say, wait a minute. These people
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: are all from Milwaukee and Chicago and Cleveland and Detroit.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: And I've entertained these people for 20 years.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: And I knocked it out of the park. And he
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: came up and he picked up the promo.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: He goes, hey, man, a lot of people come in
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: with an attitude.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: You're a good guy. You're great. Call me anytime. I'll
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: book you.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: I didn't because if anybody's that volatile, this is before
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: he was on The Sopranos. And then I saw him
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: after he got on The Sopranos again. I said, do
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: you remember me?
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: He goes, yeah.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: I said, you're the only one that didn't. Everybody crumbled.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: He goes, you didn't crumble. That's why I do that
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: to people because it's a tester. That's a great point.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Are you ready for primetime? But I am ready for primetime.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: But to your point, you're saying you approach it like
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: any other gig you do because the DNA of the
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: audience is the same, right? Is that what you're pointing? Yeah.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Well, is performing in Vegas, that's like the major leagues
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: because of the history of it and the number of
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: venues and just like the aura.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: And the stateliness of what you think of it.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: But isn't it like doing a cruise ship because there's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: people from all over? It's not like going into a
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: town where you can cater it to the people, the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: mores of that town.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: And I will say this.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: I was on the Craig Ferguson show on CBS, and
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: I was the same thing. I'm like, oh, I'm going
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: to have to win these people over. They've got a
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: person there warming up the audience. The network wants you
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: to do well. I had a great set just because
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: they wanted it. And same thing, you're in Vegas, they
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: just paid $ 47 a ticket. They set up the correct
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: conditions for you to do well.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Well, they booked this guy, he must be good.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: And it's like, you go to something like that, it's
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: kind of a lark, but you're in the studio for
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: a network show that you watch, it's exciting. I got
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: to be in the studio audience for Saturday Night Live.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: It was one of the coolest things I've ever done.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: That's true. Now, I've gone to comedy shows in Vegas,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: and I'll admit, you're right. You do have a built-in bias.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: You're like, I'm going to see a comedy show in Vegas.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: This guy must be funny. And people are drunk. Yeah,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: you must be funny if you're playing a Saturday night
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: in Vegas. So that's going to affect your, what's that?
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I'm just curious, what clubs did you go to? The
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: one in Planet Hollywood. I don't know. They had comedy
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: shows every night, so that was the one I was at.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Trust me, I didn't pay a lot for it. I
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: wanted to go to Brad Garrett's, but I was going to.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Pick a– that was the MGM Grand. That's the one
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: you played. But he's not always there, right? No, that's
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: why I was there. He was off one day.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: One of my comedy students was there, so I got
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: in one day of the week or I would have
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: worked the whole way.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: And then obviously, you know, I've seen the big shows
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: like Seinfeld and things like that, but not in Vegas.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: But you see those guys. You know, Jerry's at Caesars
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Palace sometimes and things like that. But I always love
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: a comedy show. But that's interesting to note, though, is
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: that like– Okay, so you don't have a local audience, obviously,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: because you have a lot of great local comedy. You
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: have a lot of great local stand-up, like your material. Well,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: thank you. You do a lot of Wisconsin, but does
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: that not... But I do other stuff.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: I lived in Utah, had a radio job out there,
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: and I have a whole set just about living in
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Utah that would not play here.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Like the local Wisconsin jokes, you're not going to... Not there.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: He's not talking about Ernie Von Schladorn in Las Vegas.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: That's a trick, too.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: It's like the stripper pretends that she likes you to
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: get the money.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know she likes me. Same thing.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: You do the local references, and how did you know
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: so much about it? Well, it's not that hard. It's
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: a trick of the trade.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Sure. I love that. Yeah.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: You go to Cincinnati, you talk about Skyline, Jilly, or
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Gold Star.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Absolutely right. And Vegas, the same thing.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of common things about Vegas that you
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: can talk about that anybody can relate to.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: So we were chatting about this, and it's funny because Armin,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I've watched Armin over the years.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Become a Vegas insider. You're a Denzian. You love it.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: And you're the least likely guy because you're not debauched.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: You're not lured by the things that draw many people
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: to Vegas. Correct. I really am not. You like to
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: place a wager, but you're not a high roller. Just
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: a little bit.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: You don't partake in the 420 that's available there.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: No, I drink, but not a lot.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: The strip clubs and that side of it and the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: bottle service.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Not wasting my money and all that stuff. Exactly.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: But you love the whole culture and the vibe.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: The glitter and the glamour. The culture, the energy, and
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: the history. I've always been very confounded by the history
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: of Vegas, too, because it's the middle of the desert.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: So for some reason, these things have always interested me.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I've always said you're the oldest 40-year-old man ever. Because
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: you like the Rat Pack and the whole aura.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: Do you have a place you stay, or do you
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: sample the wares of all the hotels?
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Wherever's cheap. Yeah, Drew's right. So, like, you know, I
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: check the deals on your rewards apps, you know? I
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: check the deals. I usually find, like, I usually end
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: up at, like, one of the mid-to-lower-end MGM properties. Like,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: you know, like Luxor or... Luxor's terrible. I'm sorry. Or
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: New York, yeah. And that's kind of the... It's kind
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: of a novelty for me. It's like I'm staying at
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: the Luxor again. But I like to sample different places, too.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: It depends on where my wife or just alone is.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Do you have a lost trip? Yeah.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: There's a handful of newer properties that are like the
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: hot thing, and then they're like the place to be,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: and it's like new and stuff.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Bellagio was that at one point.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: For a while, yeah.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Fontainebleau now is a new one.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Fontainebleau is big. But the thing about Vegas is it's
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: still fun, and I still like it in small doses
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: and stuff, but the charm and the stuff that, Made
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: it great.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: You changed your expectations.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: It sounds so old. Like 20 years ago, 30 years ago,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: it was more fun. And to me, it feels like
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Vegas had this great thing going. And for a while,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: they tried the campaign of making it family. They were
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: going to make, let's cater to families and make it
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Disney World.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: That's for Disney. No, no.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Then they went back. They did a 180. What happens
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: in Vegas stays in Vegas. Let's lean into the debauchery.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: That's why people come to us. But now you can
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: gamble anywhere. You can buy weed anywhere.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: That's the thing.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: And to me, it's like Vegas had a good thing going.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Vegas is Jersey Mike's.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Okay. They had incredible subs. Everybody loved.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: And then private equity came in and they skimped on
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the ingredients and it's like smaller spores portions. And now
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: it sucks. And they got rid of everything that people
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: liked about it. That made it great. Private equity and
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: corporations are doing that in Vegas.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: COVID didn't help.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Where COVID didn't help. And they're trying to get that back.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: They've lost a lot of Canadian tourists for political reasons,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: but they, it just, It's it kind of sucks. Like
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I have always said, like people don't go to Vegas
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: and like, oh, I can go and buy a nine
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: dollar high life. You know, I know it's not fun.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: It used to be the fun was the deal. They
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: got the money out of you because you would gamble.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: And now it's like the rooms aren't as cheap. They're
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: not as nice. The service isn't as good.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Resort fees.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: There's resort fees on top of everything. Parking fees. They
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: charge you to park. Now they're charging the locals to park,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: which is really piss people off. They're not happy. The
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: buffets are gone. There's only six left on the strip.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: The charm of it was gone. You would go there
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and spend and have a great time and it would
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: make you want to come back. Now you go there
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: and like, let's think about going to Nashville or somewhere else.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: It's like, I still like it, but not as much.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: The affinity for it.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: It's definitely changed. It's definitely changed.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Corporatization and private equitization of it. And it's done it
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: to a lot of things. It just made it suck.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: It does feel like.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Private equity, by the way, it's not just Jersey Mike's,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: but Wendy's too. The spicy chicken sandwich sucks now. It's
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: not as good as.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: It used to be. You did feel like once upon
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: a time that there was a lot of unique charm
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: and novelty. It was magical. Of like there were different,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: you know... different kooky casino owners and wild casinos. Now
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: it's owned by corporations, and the whole strip looks like
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: a shopping mall, right? It's a lot of stores. Good point.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: So but it's still like, you know, it's still enjoyable
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: for me because I find it interesting. But I definitely
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: wish like, oh, I wish I was here 20 years ago.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: And the thing is, I love I love like, well,
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: the sports betting stuff.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: You'd go there and guys would go for the first
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: weekend of the NCAA tournament.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: It was awesome. And it's still pretty good.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: You were there last year during the tournament with our boy,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: El Baldo.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: But it's not the same of like.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: It's not the same, and you can get that juice
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: at Pato. The sportsbook at Pato is, other than Circa,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: it's as big and as good as anywhere else.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Our sportsbook at Pottawatomie is better than 95% of the
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: ones in Las Vegas. I say that, and people don't
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: believe it, but it's absolutely true. They got rid of
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: the performance space to do that. That was my favorite
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: stage in the world.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: The Northern Lights Theater.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Northern Lights, that's right. They did, and the... The Fire Pit, right?
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: That was the old place. But it's a great, great venue.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Pot of Water has got a great, great sportsbook now,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: and it's just fantastic. And we do our shows in
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: the Annex down there, Drew, as you guys know. Oh, yeah.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Thursday night. I saw you doing a show there once,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: years ago, in that same space. Great space.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: It definitely has changed. But, hey, listen, anytime my man
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Dobie Maxwell is in the marquee, I got to try
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: and make it back. Thank you, buddy.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: I was taking a picture the first time I was there,
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: taking a picture. And some guy comes up to me
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: and goes.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: What are you doing? I'm taking a picture of the marquee.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Never heard of any of them. I'll stand right next
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: to him and say, ah, you know.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Friend of a friend. Yeah.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. Time for a little Who's Hot, Who's Not
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen Heat, including the HVAC
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: specialist employee owned for 45 years. They have a fall
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: financing special, five years, 0% interest on all qualifying systems.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: It's a limited time. Go to donovanjorgensen.com to learn more.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Who's hot?
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Case Keenum. Case Keenum, obviously. 38 years old, got the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: cobwebs off, the mothballs. And he balled out last night
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football. He doesn't know if he's going
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: to start again because Tyson Bajent might be back, but
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You roll with him? You play the
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: hot hand?
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Well, and this is sort of a flare of warning,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: I think, for the Packers who are going to be
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: facing Jalen Daniels this weekend.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Not Jaden Daniels. Jalen. Jalen. Because they're facing the Buccaneers
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: who have Baker Mayfield's hurt. So you think to yourself, oh,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: this is a big advantage. What a break. But you
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: have to make sure that that dog doesn't bite you
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: there as well. Two words, Jason Garrett.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, I remember that.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Forget that. This is our chance to beat the Cowboys.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: And what is more dangerous in the Packers need a dub, right?
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: And cause they're reeling a little bit. We'll see what
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: they do with these new guys on the offensive line,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: but the bucks are Owen three playing at home and
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: they're starting a guy who has 33 seconds of NFL experience.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: What could go wrong?
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Jalen Daniels is going to be the man. And like,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: you know, vikings the vikings beat them 23 16 last
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: week so not a blowout not a blowout i mean
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: they just put 165 million of baker mayfield and he's
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: hurt so this is uh jalen daniels uh played at
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: kansas yeah so.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: We'll see how things go and and you like to
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: think the packers have the advantage there and boy do
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: we need to win and a good performance obviously but
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: you can always get kind of tripped up by these
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: situations uh unscotted looks it usually can go one of
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: two ways and we'll i think we'll know soon but
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: um One way or the other, how it will go.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: But I'd like to think. Who's not? Sorry, were you
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: done there, Drew?
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm done with Case Keenum was who's hot. Who
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: do you got for who's not?
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Who's not? Jeff Halfley in Miami talking about the Heat
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Media Day a little bit because we talked about our
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: media day. Halfley was visibly taken aback by the lack
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: of reporters in his press conference today. Many of them
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: decided to attend Heat Media Day instead. He said, is
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: this everyone that's coming in reporter? It's Heat Media Day.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: So I guess it's a little different, right? Around here,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: these parts, the Packers kind of run it.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: That's happened, too, because I remember Murph, the council used
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: to look back and there's no TV cameras. It's like, oh,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: the Packers have a preseason game today or something. And
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Murph said that, too. But there was a Friday night
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: where I think Murph was stunned by the small media crowd.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: And it wasn't just, like, the Packers playing a preseason game.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: That was on the road.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: It was high school football was kicking off. So a
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: lot of the TV guys were out covering high school
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: football games.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: And, you know, I think it's interesting because... All right,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: so whatever, you know, you see, okay, okay, everyone's at
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: the Heat press conference, and athletes, like, maybe we're second fiddle. Well,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: maybe you're not doing a good rate. You know, their
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: team's not very good. But also... One of the people
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: going to realize, I'm going to stand up for our
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: industry a little bit, things aren't highly attended and covered
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: anymore because there aren't as many outlets being supported. Local
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: journalism is not supported as much anymore. You know what's
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: happened to newspapers, Drew. We know what's happened to local
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: traditional forms of media. There aren't as many media members
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: and there aren't as many companies that have publications or
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: TV stations or radio stations willing to cover events. I
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: was taken aback and I still... It was still shocking
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: to me and a kind of a splash of cold
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: water across my face, realizing what's the change in our
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: industry was when we went to the Super Bowl in
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: New Orleans and I saw media night and it was
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: a bunch of podcasters and influencers and butt scratch media
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: podcast or whatever. Like and I realized, wow, that's what
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: it is anymore. That's who's covering these events. And it's
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: like a lot of these a lot of these, you know,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: influencers or whatever you have you. People on Twitter that
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: are trying to become media podcasters aren't going to press
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: conferences and covering teams on a day-to-day basis like the
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: great print journalists of our youth were. So I think
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: that's a big factor, too, nobody wants to talk about,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: mostly because I think it's easy for the public to
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: blame the media for everything, Drew. Most have no sympathy
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: in their minds for quote-unquote media. But the reality is
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: the real grinders of this industry, the local broadcasters and journalists,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: are not as supported anymore by companies. There's just not
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: as many anymore. And because of that, you aren't going
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: to have a lot of people that are day-to-day beat
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: writers and beat reporters. That's true. Unfortunately, that's going to
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: hurt your own coverage of your own team.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: They've been slashed to the bone. It's not positive. All right,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: so who's hot, who's not? Brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: You know who else is not hot, or maybe he
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: is hot?
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: J.J. McCarthy.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: From the 10th player taken overall, turned into a fifth-round
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: pick as they schlep him over to the Giants, who
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: saw Jameis Winston struggle and said, we need something. So
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: now the Giants have Jackson Dart and J.J. McCarthy on
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: their roster. Jackson Dart out for the season, so J.J.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: McCarthy.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: The quarterback whisperer, Kevin O'Connell, couldn't get J.J. McCarthy on
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: track with Justin Jefferson and all those weapons, Addison. So
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: he moves on to New York. Gets traded in the
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: middle of the season. Interesting development there. So who's hot,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: who's not? Donovan Jorgensen. We'll have our current electric superhero
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: of the day coming up. But coming up next, Scott
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Dolphin from the... country station down the hall FM 106
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: is going to pop in and it'll be halftime be
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: warned he's a Bears fan he's having a good morning
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: that's one we'll try to drag him down you're in
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin halftime of the huddle
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Hour and a half in, Drew Arman. Dobie Maxwell's in
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: for Billy. We welcome Scott Dolphin from the country station
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: down the hall. And I warn people, he's a Bears fan.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: He's having a good morning. Yeah, pleasantly surprised, Drew. They'll
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: be good to see you.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Again, man.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: 38 years old with his kids in the stands like
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: a Verlander-esque moment.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: They got to see him win now. I don't know
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: if he's going to get another start. Tyson Bajent might
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: be back.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: He played very well.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: I'm with Aikman or Buck. I think Aikman said it
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: last night. You got to go with the hot hand,
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: don't you? I don't care if Tyson Bajent's helping.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: I would think. Yeah.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, what's the difference? A second or a third quarterback?
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Right. Yeah.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: I say you would stick with the 38 year old.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Is Caleb out though?
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Is that, is that. Well, they said it's a great two.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: So it's three to four weeks. They haven't put him on. Exactly.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I thought they'd put them on the IR just to
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: get a roster spot, but they're going to play a
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: man short and just let them go.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Just in case.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Just in case he's ready for the Packer game.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Because that's in that window of four weeks. That's what
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: they're looking at, yeah. Wild.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: I hope he's back for the Packer game. I don't
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: want to see guys hurt. I want to see the
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: best of the best, don't you?
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you do. But Tyson Bajent got you through, and
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: then you get the kid.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on. This game last night. 38 years old.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: I thought the Eagles had a really good game plan
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: because they were stuffing. The Bears had rushed for an
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: average of 220 yards the first two games. So the
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Eagles are like, you will not run on us. We're
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: going to make the old man beat us.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Makes sense, right? It did. It was a good game plan.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: But then they left that game plan completely in the
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: second half. I mean, they were getting kind of torched
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: by Keenum on the pass game.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Well, I think Ben Johnson did a good job putting
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: the Eagles D on their heels because they didn't expect
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: him to come out throwing. And the Bears couldn't really
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: run the ball in the first half that well, but
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: they didn't need to. And the Eagles did, but they
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: couldn't finish drives.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: When Fangio dialed up blitzes, though, they didn't get home.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, that's true. That's true.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: He had zero sacks.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Or when they were knocking him on his butt, he
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: was throwing from his heels and completing passes.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Keenum was 11 for 11 on plays that Philly brought
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: extra rushers. Yeah. And that was probably one thing they
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: couldn't have predicted, but Case seemed like he was ready
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: for it. He said he was like a coach most
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: of the time.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: To me, it was like the offense for the Eagles
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: is what confounded me because Saquon Barkley's running five, six,
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: seven yards a clip. Gouging.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: And then when the Bears scored in the third quarter,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: it's like, well, we got to throw now. I know.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: And it's like, no, you don't. Saquon Barkley is a
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: scoring threat from your own 20. And then you get
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: snake bit. You lose your quarterback out of nasty hit.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: He goes into the blue tent. You bring in the
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: red rifle. And he throws a pick, you know, cold
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: off the bench.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: That was rough. Now that hit, I don't even think
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: it's controversial because when you're running like that, you're a
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: running back, man. I'm sorry. If that was a running back,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: that's not a penalty.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: I knew it was going to get called because when
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: they showed the replay and his toe was in the white,
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: I thought they were going to call that every time.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: But like I'm saying, if it's a running back, but
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: you're a quarterback who runs. We talked about that yesterday
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: because of the hit in the USC game.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: And it's like, you know, these quarterbacks are taking liberties.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: They're sliding late. They used to slide five yards in
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: front of the defender. Now they're going all the way
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: up and they're tempting fate because they think they're going
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: to be protected by the rules. And when the defender's
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: going low and trying to make a tackle– And you
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: collide like that.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: There's nothing that defense can do. It puts them in
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: an unfair spot. Of course, the worst thing about that
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: hit was the celebration afterwards.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: That was bad.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: That was unseemly. That was bad.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, your Bears are riding high right now.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: They look damn good, Drew. I was impressed.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: I didn't expect that performance. Although, I didn't really follow
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: the Eagles the first two weeks. They barely survived against
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: the Titans, right? One of the worst teams in the
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: league last week. And so, you know, Bears are 2-1.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: I think that's this year's NFL. It's a little bit
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: upside down. Who had the Vikings at 3-0 leading the division?
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Who had the Raiders?
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Right. Another one. I mean, this is just a topsy-turvy league.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: It always is. It is. Especially early in the year.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: but it's really hard to predict things like that.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: It's designed for chaos.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: What do you think of Ben Johnson going for the
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: fourth downs now? It didn't become a story because it
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: didn't end up hurting him, but it was a big
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: story around here because when LaFleur went for it and
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: didn't take the points on fourth, that was a big
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: inflection point for a lot of fans.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: He would have caught heat too, Armand, if that came
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: back to bite him in the butt because, you know,
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: first off, Roma Dunzay, my God, the ball is gift wrapping.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: In his hands. Yes. What are you doing? Catch the ball.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: I just feel like When the result doesn't go their way,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: a lot of fans want to find something to blame,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: and those are easy ones to find. But every coach
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: is going to make a decision based on their philosophy
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: and their process. Great point. They're not going to do
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: it based on predicting a decision. You're not going to
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: ever get 100% of those decisions right, so you're just
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: going to go with one or the other and say,
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: we're either going to be aggressive on fourth downs in
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: these situations or we're not.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: You're not going to change Ben Johnson or Matt LaFleur
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: for that matter. These guys are going to coach like
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: they're going to coach. That situation, though, you didn't know
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Case Keenum was going to have a huge night, and
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking– Make it 10-0.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, make it 10-0. Take the points. Or 13, whatever
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: it would have been at the time. Yeah, I would
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: have taken the points. Listen, it ended up not being
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: a problem because they were dominating the rest of the game.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, 2-1. Their schedule was favorable at the beginning
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: of the season. They play a lot of home games, though,
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: and that's going to come back. You've got to play
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: road games late, and I think they play, I don't know,
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: they're gone for like a month or something like that
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: once we get into the heart of the season. I
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: do like their chances against the Jets, no matter who
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: they play at quarterback, but It's just, you know. Jets,
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: and then they play Tampa Bay, which is struggling, and
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: then they get the Packers.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: And Tampa doesn't have, obviously, Baker Mayfield right now. We'll
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: see how that goes for the Packers. The Packers have
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Tampa this weekend.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: Right, and if you're the Packers, you're looking at a
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: stretch of how many games in a row were you
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: playing backup quarterbacks? Although Michael Penix is probably the starter now.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I would say he's more. J.J. MacArthur era over in Minnesota.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: What did you think about that news? Well, I think
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: it was expected, wasn't it? Yeah, I guess so. It
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: traded him to the Giants.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: And he's going to play for a hardball. He was
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: happy playing for a hardball in college. So why not
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: send him to another hardball to maybe resurrect his career?
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: They got a fifth for him. Not even resurrect his career.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Just start one. Ignite it. Get it started. The McCarthy
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: era in Minnesota has been a failure.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: I was there for his very first game of Monday
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: Night Football at Soldier Field last year, and he looked
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: like freaking Tom Brady out there on that fourth quarter
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: drive to.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Beat the Yeah.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: He was awful for three quarters. And then Rosa got
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: up off the mat and beat him. I thought, wow,
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: this is a rookie playing his first ever game.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Is that where the meme came from of him
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: looking tough in the locker room? I think so. That's
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: probably where I think it is. You got nine. He
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: had that moment. That was his moment. The Vikings have
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: owned the bears.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, a lot of teams have owned the bears
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: over the years, but the Vikings recently, I think I
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: won five or six.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: It's heady times for the bears. And meanwhile, the Cubs tonight,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: if you, if you hate Chicago with every fiber of your.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: Being, um, Yeah, the Sox played today, too. Got a
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: root against the Cubs today. Brewer Sox series, wouldn't that
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: be great to beat them?
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Hey, that's where, when they opened the season,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: it's so interesting because they opened the season and the
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Brewers walked all over the White Sox. And it's like, oh,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: same old White Sox. They still suck.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Like 14 to 2 or something.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I popped into their radio booth and I talked to
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Len Casper and Darren Jackson, who used to play for
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: the Brewers, and just chopping it up. I'm like, oh,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: we're better.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: It's, you know.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: They got the Murakami kid and they got the, you know,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: he's like, they said, well, we're better. And Murph said,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: this team's going to be heard from this team. Like we, yeah, we,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: you got a good series, but they're going to be
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: better than people think. Murph was right. He saw something.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: And the White Sox were better.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: And we're so far removed from that Brewers, White Sox
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: vitriol that, that, that I'm not, you think about whether
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: Tony Phillips going into the stands to.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Fight somebody in the county stadium. Yeah.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: But, but this is a team that lost 225 games
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: the last two years combined.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of happy for the White Sox. Why? Terry
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Bevington and Phil are looking for another fight.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Terry Bevington.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Somewhere they're looking for another scrap.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: They're looking for a scrap. And when Garner challenged Hawk Harrelson.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: That's right. Hardcore. It's a nice park. Yeah, they've got
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: seated up.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: And here they are looking to get out now, too.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: And the Bears.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: What is it with Chicago and venues? Why can't they
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: just settle in?
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Soldier Field is a dump, but it's an abomination.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: The White Sox. Oh, I wouldn't go that far. The remodel.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Dolph, the remodel's terrible.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: What I love about it, Drew, is it's the smallest
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: stadium by far in the NFL.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: It is. 60,000 seats.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, our seats are in the end zone
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: when I go and 35 rows up. You can see everything.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: It's kind of compact.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: It's not in a bad setting. It's Grant Park, basically.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: It's part of that whole green space. Field museum and
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: everything like that.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Now, parking, forget about it. There's no little neighborhoods like
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: around Lambeau where you can park and the guy puts
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: a port-a-potty in his backyard. But you can get a
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: couple of Modellas for like five bucks as you walk
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: through Grant Park out of a cooler. That's a plus.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: That's a plus. I just liked it better before the remodel.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: I agree. The White Sox.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: I think probably have a legitimate beef. Remember when they
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: built that? Nobody knew what a modern era ballpark was
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: supposed to look like, right?
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Late 80s? 91, 92, I don't want to say.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: The White Sox Park was like when the Brewers got their,
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: remember when the Brewers got the new scoreboard?
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: And then like two years later, everybody got Jumbotrons and
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: we were stuck with the grainy World War II movies
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: for highlights.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: The Bradley Center was in some ways like that. Bradley
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Center was like that because then arenas got better. It was.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: boom or right at the beginning of it i want
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: to say or.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Whatever one of the yeah they were like in the
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: wrong era they were like you know yeah and the
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: white socks but they have they've gussied that up they
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: have it's as nice as it can.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Be i've never like this i've never disliked that stadium
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: i thought it seemed you know with the way the
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: scoreboard and the fireworks and the way the polls would
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: come up it seemed to me. Oh, the old Bill
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Veck touch. It seemed majestic and stately to me, but
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: people always make fun of it. I don't know, but
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: like the way the, I guess originally it was too steep.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Too steep.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: And it was, it was scary. My grandpa would always
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: complain about that. I'd never go on a new Comiskey
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: with the way that it's so steep. Cause he was
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: a South side. Yeah.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: So. So, okay, so where are the White Sox, where
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: are they talking about moving to?
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: They're exploring the idea of.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I didn't see the location.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I saw that they're thinking of moving, but then the
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Bears with their flirtation with Hammond, Indiana.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: I know. I just wish they would put that thing
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: to bed one way or another. Go to.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: They're going to be at Soldier Field, what is it,
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: through 2030 or 2031? Yeah, because it'll take that long
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: to build it.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: What about Arlington Heights? They have the land in Arlington Heights.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: They do. They have the old racetrack. Yeah. I miss
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: the old racetrack. Perfect spot.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: That was a great way to spend a day.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: It was. It really was. Cheap entertainment for the most part.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: South Loop along the western bank of the Chicago River,
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: stretching from Roosevelt Road south to 18th. That's what one
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: report was. It's Amtrak Yard. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's right.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: So it's, yeah, they're looking at that, the South, which
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: would be cool.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: It would, you know.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, that's kind of.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: They have a new owner, so maybe they'll, maybe they'll
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: spice it up and.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: I remember when the city thought they were going to
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: lose them to Tampa Bay back.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: In the day.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: Jerry Reinsdorf, right? They were going to pull the plug
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: and they were going to move. The park where it
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: is now, I kind of like because it's so easy in,
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: so easy out. God bless Wrigley Field, but you better
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: have a couple hours each way getting in and out
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: of there. White Sox Park, you pull in, you're in
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: the parking lots and you're walking within five minutes, you're
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: in the ballpark.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: The worst thing is the drive to Wrigley, and Dobie,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: you've been there many times and done the gigs, but Like,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: the last mile takes an hour.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: It's so bad. It is.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: And parking there is not good unless you're a media member.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Right. Yeah. And you're going to pay. A lot of money.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: Kind of like you're going to pay this weekend at
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: American Family Field. Parking rates are going to go up significantly.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the playoff prices are up. I think the get-in
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: price for a ticket is like, what, $ 110? Something like that.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Can't complain, though. What should Brewers fans be rooting for, Dolph?
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Should they be cheering for a Cubs rematch and get
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: things started and run it back from last year? Or
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: should they say, bring on the Padres because then, The
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Padres aren't going to travel with 15,000, 20,000 of their
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: best friends. That's a great point. And the secondary ticket
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: market will collapse because right now I think getting the
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: door is like 200 bucks. I don't know if that'll
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: hold if it's not Chicago. I didn't consider that.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: But immediately, you know, the politically correct answers say, oh,
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: bring on anybody because the Brewers are the best team
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: in baseball.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: They are. But give me the Cubs. I mean, if
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: you look at those two teams right now. Yeah.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: And the Cubs bullpen. I think that's the most winnable
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: series to beat the Cubs. You would avoid Mason Miller.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: And then we'd lose the chance to boo Manny Machado.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, true.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: The people's enemy.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good point. They've got some fellas in that lineup.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: The thing is, and this is the duality of the
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: baseball postseason. We've been talking about it. It's the most random.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: In football, you get a bye, and you rest up,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: and you get an advantage. In baseball, you get a bye,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: you get rusty for a week, you're used to playing
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: every day, and you're at a disadvantage.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Because the team that comes in, they might be tired,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: and their bullpen might be chewed up, but they're rolling.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: I see there's a practice-slash-workout today. You going out?
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: No.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: I've seen enough BP in my life.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: Somebody emailed me yesterday when I said they're going to
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: play the winter, the Padres and Cubs and asked why
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: baseball doesn't receive.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: I said, football is really the.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Only one that does. Aren't they the NFL and baseball?
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: You got to have some travel certainty. You got to
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: book hotel blocks and stuff.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: You give it a little bit of a NHL doesn't
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: and neither does the NBA.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: And of course the NCAA tournament. I mean, can you
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: imagine if they received it?
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: It's impossible. You can't do that. Yeah.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Wow. Logistically, I mean, it's just too hard. So, yeah,
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: baseball's the only one that actually has locked in. Yeah,
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: they lock into a bracket. And then, like Armand was saying,
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: they assume chalk where the Dodgers would be ostensibly to
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: face the Phillies. They wouldn't want the Brewers to face
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: the number three seed because they're the number one seed, right?
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: So it's like that's why they kind of lock in.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: And they don't reseed. And there was talk, like, the
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: team with the best record gets home field. And back
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: in the day, again.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: We go back to the debacle of the tide all-star
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: game here when they decided that the winner of the
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: all-star game would have home field advantage.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: And everybody's like, how can they do that? How can
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: something so stupid and meaningless? And it's like, Oh, as
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: opposed to when they used to do it every other year,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: the Brewers didn't have home field in 82. Cause that
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: was when they used to go every other year. National
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: league has home American league has home. So then they
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: made it to tie it to the all-star game. And
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: people thought that was a travesty. Like it's not any
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: more of a travesty than having an alternate.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: I forgot about that. I also forgot.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: Did they have a combination of national league and American
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: league umpires there? The American League umpires with their maroon blazers.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: And then they would meld them together.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. They did it both. It's so interesting
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: the way that they used to do that. Because now
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: it just seems so, you know, it's one league. It's
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: so silly to try. But it was so separate back then.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: The NL guys. It was. American League hats and the
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: NL hats. And it was just so funny. World Series
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: should be the most exciting thing in baseball. And it
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: still is. But then it was.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: You got thrilled even if your team wasn't in it
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: because you wanted to see these guys play against each
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: other that never, ever played against each other.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: You guys think I have a theory. This is super
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: off the wall and random, but I'm going to say it.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Speaking of umpires, I think because of ABS, maybe you're
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: just the way trends have changed. I think umpires are
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: a lot less interesting with their strike three calls. They're
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: a lot less demonstrative. They used to be their calling card.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: They have to be because it can get challenged and overturned.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: It used to be their magnum opus was a crazy,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: dramatic strike three call. Now they do it at all.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Not only they had different umpires and there was like
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: a different strike zone. because the nationally guys had the
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: inside chest protector, the more discreet one. And the American
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: league guys had the balloon pillow up front. So they
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: couldn't get down and see the low part of the zone.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: And I was like, there was different strikes on different umpires.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: It was quite a different game back then.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: You know, there's certain things you miss Armin bringing that up.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, you miss the, the, the turning the hat
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: around screaming back and forth with the, umpires. You don't
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: see that hardly at all anymore.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: You miss Earl Weaver going at it with Bill Hall. Oh,
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: you ain't no good neither. Lou Piniella.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, especially now that there's sound on YouTube to all
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: of those arguments.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: That's the pretty fast. We got to keep micing up umpires.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: F you, no F you. Yeah. You ain't no good neither.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: That was the best. That's awesome.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: That's hilarious. So yeah, today, Dolph, will you plunk down
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: and watch a little of the quadruple header?
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know I'm a Yankee guy at heart, sorry. Yeah.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: So I have to watch Yankees-Red Sox, and that's a
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: night game, right? I assume all of those are going
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: to be. Well, they said Judge and Stanton are both
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: going to try to go. Who's pitching? Schlittler? Yeah, you
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: get that Cam Schlittler who's phenomenal. He's good.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: He was the one guy against the Brewers this year
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: that really shut him down, but then the Brewers got
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: the big hit late, like after he left the game
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: to win that Saturday night game.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: I think he'll win A.L. Cy Young.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: He's certainly in the mix for that and rookie of
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: the year. He's really impressive. It is.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: And then, you know, but the Red Sox, they've got
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: a good young staff, too. Well, interesting to see some
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: of the ex-brewers in that game. Indeed.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: My buddy is a Red.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: Sox fan, and obviously Caleb Durley loves, but he said, Monasterio,
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: he said, Where'd this guy come from?
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: I said, he was a great guy here. Good clubhouse guy.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: He won a couple games for the Brewers.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Yankees, Red Sox in the playoffs. It feels like 0-4.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: I know. You hate to see one of them gone
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: so early. I know, that's true. I prefer 0-3, Armin.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Aaron freaking Boone. Aaron freaking Boone. Oh, my goodness.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: That's classic. Or 78.
• 36:57

  Speaker 3: Bell.

  Speaker 2: Hey, what is going on here? Hey, hey, hey, hey,
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: what is going on here? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: What is going on here? I won't play the two-minute
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: supercut of him doing the same thing. Yeah, Dennis Haskins,
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: he played Mr. Belding famously in Saved by the Bell,
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: a cultural touchstone for a generation, passed away, rest in peace.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: He was obviously, you know, big from that show, and
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: a lot of people, the kids and people know him
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: from that, but He also had a turn as kind
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: of like a bar appearance guy and a club appearance guy.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: And he kept showing up on the Internet in the
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: mid 2000s and 2010s on stage with a bunch of
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: college kids. And it was always like a funny thing
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: to see. So.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: He milked a kid's sitcom for four years. He turned
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: it into a career.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: No one squeezed more out of the orange than him.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: So rest in peace. I think he did a lot
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: of things. They did. Saved by the Bell, New Class was...
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: New Class. He was on longer than any of the actors.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: That was seven years. Yes. He was on New Class
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: and all these things. So... yeah, rest in peace, Dennis.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: That's 75 years old.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: So, I think when he played Mr. Bell, he was
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: like 49 or 50, I think. Maybe younger.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Which was ancient to the teams you're watching. Maybe younger.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought he was. Well, let's see. That show
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: debuted in 89, and he was born in 50. So,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: he's like, okay, he's 40.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: But.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, our boy Vas Gershon met him at this celebrity
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: thing he did in the 90s. And basically said he
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: was a nice dude, but then.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: He would call him and stuff out of the blue.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: He just couldn't get rid of the guy.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: You get legendary for that stuff, yeah. Yeah.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Rest in peace, Mr.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: Belding. Rest in peace, Mr. Belding, patrolling the hallways of
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Bayside High for all those years. I think the Brewers
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: brought him in.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Did the Admirals, too? I know the Brewers did.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: I know the Admirals. He did a lot of those appearances.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: So we've got to get to the top, I know.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: But I think Dolby's got to. Don't you have a
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: screech story? A screech story. We'll get to it. All right.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: We'll get to that as we move forward. Hunter's going
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: to join us at 725 to talk baseball. It's playoff
• 40:26
