0:35
Speaker 3: but the five o'clock Club officially, unfortunately is closed. But
0:38

Speaker 3: a late run.
0:52
Speaker 2: You know in your fantasy.
0:53
Speaker 3: Draft is a run on kickers, a run on defenses.
0:56
Speaker 3: There was a run on there was a run on
0:58
Speaker 3: sixty nine. There was a run on it because once
1:01
Speaker 3: you announced that it might be up for everyone wants
1:05
Speaker 3: to be Yeah, I guess Justin and Jackson everyone was
1:08
Speaker 3: trying to get sixty nine.
1:09
Speaker 2: Now it's like, all right, listen, it doesn't go like that.
1:11
Speaker 2: All right.
1:11
Speaker 3: If you don't have a number and you are going
1:13
Speaker 3: to be added in order, then there will be sixty nine.
1:15
Speaker 3: But you can't just you can't just position yourself to
1:18
Speaker 3: have sixty nine.
1:19
Speaker 2: I knew, like trying to know.
1:21
Speaker 3: This is sort of like when I was in high school,
1:22
Speaker 3: Billy at the Goal hustling Hawks Greenfield, what's up, east Side?
1:26
Speaker 2: I know you weren't on that side of the town,
1:27
Speaker 2: but when I was.
1:28
Speaker 3: In Greenfield, they did an exciting thing where you could
1:31
Speaker 3: buy you could personalize you if you paid your own
1:34
Speaker 3: like baseball Jersey. It's say like Greenfield, you could pick
1:36
Speaker 3: a number in a name. I'm like, oh, this is
1:38
Speaker 3: super cool. I'm you know me, I definitely got one.
1:40
Speaker 2: Get one.
1:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if the easiest way to get
1:42
Speaker 3: one the opportunity to put my name on a sure.
1:44
Speaker 2: I remember there's a little controversy because a bunch.
1:46
Speaker 3: Of dudes were trying to put number sixty sixty nine
1:48
Speaker 3: on there and.
1:49
Speaker 2: The school I didn't allow it. They're like, why not,
1:53
Speaker 2: that's a number.
1:54
Speaker 1: One.
1:54
Speaker 3: Guy's like that that could be my football number, he said,
1:57
Speaker 3: could be because he didn't make the team yet.
1:58
Speaker 2: Sure it was. Could be. They might get it to me,
2:01
Speaker 2: it might get issued to me. That was kind of
2:03
Speaker 2: a that just kind of reminded me of that. It
2:05
Speaker 2: was kind of funny. But I don't know, it's just
2:08
Speaker 2: just something funny.
2:08
Speaker 3: I remember when I did read the nickolay laud dot
2:10
Speaker 3: com talking text line this morning. But Billy, it's gonna
2:13
Speaker 3: be a wonderful morning, little chili today. But hey, who cares.
2:16
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a Friday in a good land. Brewer's
2:18
Speaker 3: going for the uh for the game win win against
2:21
Speaker 3: the Cubs in the series tonight against miz and Summerfest
2:25
Speaker 3: rolls on Ed Sheeran last night, apparently of a banger
2:29
Speaker 3: of a show.
2:29
Speaker 2: I bet it was. I bet it was hot.
2:31
Speaker 3: We weren't there that late, but I did get to
2:32
Speaker 3: see vertical Horizon a little bit, so that was very
2:35
Speaker 3: God was exciting.
2:36
Speaker 2: Were vertical or horizon good?
2:39
Speaker 1: One?
2:39
Speaker 3: That's a great point. Yeah, it's an oxual moron is Yeah,
2:44
Speaker 3: great time though.
2:45
Speaker 1: How many people would you guess have worn number sixty
2:47
Speaker 1: nine for the agreement packers.
2:49
Speaker 2: I would say a good amount.
2:51
Speaker 3: I mean, there aren't that many numbers that go around
2:53
Speaker 3: for linemen, and that's a linement number. I mean obviously
2:55
Speaker 3: Bachtiari had it for a while. So how many guys
2:59
Speaker 3: I'll say, or seven players wore it with my walf Yeah, okay.
3:03
Speaker 2: Ten players.
3:04
Speaker 1: Uh, none really for any long period of time.
3:08
Speaker 2: Other than bak Tiari.
3:10
Speaker 1: Everybody else had really only worn it for like one
3:12
Speaker 1: or two years outside of my man Bill Forrester, who
3:16
Speaker 1: rocked it from fifty three to fifty eight on some
3:18
Speaker 1: of those you know, really really good teams.
3:19
Speaker 3: Well they were, Yeah, they were not in the fifth
3:21
Speaker 3: but you know, back then, I don't think the joke
3:23
Speaker 3: was there yet, so it probably wasn't something like he
3:25
Speaker 3: capitalized on.
3:26
Speaker 1: What do you mean, you don't think the folks in
3:29
Speaker 1: the fifties, after the roaring, coming out of the Industrial
3:32
Speaker 1: Revolution of the baby boomers, we're learning what was happening.
3:35
Speaker 3: Two Maybe they did, I just you didn't. There wasn't
3:38
Speaker 3: meme culture in the fifties. It was only memes were
3:41
Speaker 3: like you know, leave at the beaver and stuff.
3:43
Speaker 2: There was no memes. So maybe you're right.
3:45
Speaker 3: Maybe in the back rooms of bars and saloons, we
3:47
Speaker 3: didn't hear about where there were smoking cigars and stuff
3:50
Speaker 3: they were making those jokes.
3:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, I it was on the internet. You get my point?
3:54
Speaker 1: Sure?
3:54
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.
3:55
Speaker 1: Now I'm dealing Barrett, who is newest camp man for
4:00
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers.
4:03
Speaker 2: Trying to make a team.
4:04
Speaker 3: Thought that was the summit Barrett's I thought that was
4:06
Speaker 3: the summit that's coming up by the one.
4:08
Speaker 1: Of the keynote speakers. Yeah, he grabs seventy four. If
4:12
Speaker 1: they asked me in the conversation with the team personnel,
4:18
Speaker 1: like what number do you want? I do think I'd
4:21
Speaker 1: probably throw it out there.
4:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, why not? Like not appaeilable. But then you don't
4:27
Speaker 2: necessarily know. And this is somewhat of a job interview.
4:30
Speaker 1: My coming off is unserious right now, Donovan Jennings might
4:34
Speaker 1: actually have the most popular number out there, sixty seven?
4:38
Speaker 2: Which one do you actually want to have? That's a
4:40
Speaker 2: good question. Do you think that is?
4:41
Speaker 3: That?
4:42
Speaker 2: Is that? Is that going to pass the culture?
4:43
Speaker 4: Now?
4:44
Speaker 2: Sixty seven?
4:44
Speaker 3: I haven't heard that in the last couple of months.
4:46
Speaker 3: Like I might be kind of over Yeah, it might
4:48
Speaker 3: be kind of over I'm not positive. I always thought
4:51
Speaker 3: of the seventies going to tackles and the sixties going
4:55
Speaker 3: to interior alignment.
4:56
Speaker 2: Is that true or is that just my imagination. I
4:58
Speaker 2: think you might be overthinking in it a little bit there.
5:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I definitely the more athletic guys want to
5:03
Speaker 1: rock the seventies or the fifties. Fifty is a sweet
5:06
Speaker 1: number that zat time gets to rock over there at
5:08
Speaker 1: at right tackle. So there's a lot of different ways
5:10
Speaker 1: you can go about it.
5:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it was a center number because Frank
5:13
Speaker 3: Winners used to have it fifty two, but then it
5:16
Speaker 3: became it becomes a pass rusher pass rusher number, yes, sir, yes, sir.
5:19
Speaker 1: So that's why you can't be locking people in and
5:23
Speaker 1: positions in at numbers right. That's why you need to
5:25
Speaker 1: have positional versatility and go up and down the up
5:28
Speaker 1: and down the scale of it. Eight seven seven seven
5:30
Speaker 1: nine four one nine seven three. Our friend is checking
5:33
Speaker 1: in from Wyoming, Tim more than boys checking in from
5:36
Speaker 1: Wyoming for the five o'clock club. Technically the four o'clock
5:39
Speaker 1: club for him in the Mountain Time. Last time Miz
5:41
Speaker 1: pitched on Friday was in Denver and he pitched great.
5:46
Speaker 1: Now I'll have to check this notes and I'll have
5:48
Speaker 1: to check my timing on it was I wrong. I
5:52
Speaker 1: thought he pitched first game of the Braves series, and
5:57
Speaker 1: that would have also been on Friday, And again he pitched.
5:59
Speaker 1: The tough thing is Miss pitched well to start out
6:01
Speaker 1: the Brave series.
6:02
Speaker 2: He did.
6:03
Speaker 1: He went six innings, gave up two earned runs on
6:06
Speaker 1: ninety one pitches, and struck out seven. Albeit he gave
6:09
Speaker 1: up six base runners, which was a surprising thing for
6:12
Speaker 1: those socks.
6:12
Speaker 3: It's just unusual for him because he's been so incredible.
6:16
Speaker 1: That that's a tough bar to set for yourself.
6:19
Speaker 3: Well, it's very tough standard, but that's the reality of it.
6:22
Speaker 3: So when he does anything except strike out everybody, everyone's like,
6:24
Speaker 3: what's wrong?
6:25
Speaker 2: Some wrong this guy.
6:26
Speaker 3: Yes, listen, no matter how good you are, Miss is
6:30
Speaker 3: one of the best, if not the best, in baseball
6:32
Speaker 3: so far this year. You will give up pits, you
6:34
Speaker 3: will give up runs. That's the reality of baseball, and
6:37
Speaker 3: fans sometimes have a hard time because these guys are machines.
6:40
Speaker 3: It's incredible, these guys are machines. So not really sure, Uh,
6:44
Speaker 3: I'm not sure. If MS is lad, did you were
6:46
Speaker 3: able to get that? The fact is, I think Tim
6:49
Speaker 3: is trying to let everyone know that, you know, a
6:51
Speaker 3: little blue collar mentality, like he's not running from the
6:54
Speaker 3: grind at all, Like he's actually one of the real
6:56
Speaker 3: ones because he's in the four o'clock club.
6:58
Speaker 2: You guys gotta get, can do and well.
7:02
Speaker 3: When I think Wyoming, I think cattle ranching, some sort
7:06
Speaker 3: of like mountain bike. I think it's some sort of
7:09
Speaker 3: tough well, you don't think it's a job man activity.
7:12
Speaker 2: I don't think of it. I don't think the Silicon
7:14
Speaker 2: Valley high rise tech job that makes.
7:16
Speaker 3: I don't think he's going to do finance bro stuff
7:18
Speaker 3: in Lieul eleven.
7:19
Speaker 2: Tim.
7:19
Speaker 1: Tim might be a real live cowboy. There's gonna be
7:22
Speaker 1: a real life cowboy tonight over at Summerfest. Cody Johnson, Yeah,
7:25
Speaker 1: Cody Johnson looks like a cowboy.
7:26
Speaker 2: What's up.
7:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna a lot of cowboy hats and parties
7:30
Speaker 1: going on down at summer Fest.
7:31
Speaker 5: Now.
7:31
Speaker 1: I had a friend of mine asked me yesterday should
7:35
Speaker 1: I not go to summer Fest tomorrow night because there's
7:38
Speaker 1: gonna be too many Cubs fans. It's like No, I
7:39
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be a few miles away, and during
7:42
Speaker 1: the day maybe they'll be milling around, and maybe on
7:46
Speaker 1: Saturday general milling around before the six to ten first
7:48
Speaker 1: pitch at American Family Field, you might find some folks there.
7:51
Speaker 4: Uh.
7:52
Speaker 1: But instead, I think that's gonna be a one stop shot.
7:55
Speaker 1: They're driving up to watch the watch the Brewers take
7:57
Speaker 1: on the Cubs and hopefully whoop that around American Family
8:00
Speaker 1: Field and drive back home with it out.
8:02
Speaker 3: That's our goal. Yeah, I don't think that they're gonna
8:04
Speaker 3: be at summer Fest. In fact, if you want to
8:06
Speaker 3: avoid Cubs fans, Summer Fest is probably the spot to go.
8:09
Speaker 3: But I would never tell someone not to go to
8:10
Speaker 3: the Brewers game because of that. That's part of our problem, Billy,
8:13
Speaker 3: is we're avoiding that series as Brewers fans because we're afraid.
8:16
Speaker 2: I think very much so. But this is our time
8:19
Speaker 2: to give the smoke.
8:20
Speaker 3: As Will d put on YouTube, Cops has only won
8:23
Speaker 3: one series against the Brewers.
8:24
Speaker 2: Has becoming coach for the Cubs manager?
8:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's the point, Like we had been the
8:30
Speaker 3: big bad brother in this series recently. To your point, Billy,
8:33
Speaker 3: you could argue since twenty eighteen. Ever since we ended
8:36
Speaker 3: their fake dynasty with Game one sixty three, we've really
8:40
Speaker 3: controlled it and we should be the ones telling them
8:42
Speaker 3: about it now. We started doing that last year when
8:44
Speaker 3: we won that playoff series and gave him the L flag.
8:47
Speaker 2: I loved it.
8:48
Speaker 3: I know Cubs fans for a long time wanted to
8:50
Speaker 3: make fun of it, wanted to say we were upset.
8:52
Speaker 2: Well, some thought that it.
8:53
Speaker 1: Was a curse that the Brewers put on themselves and
8:56
Speaker 1: put on wiscondin.
8:57
Speaker 2: Sports sayans of throwing the L flag out there. I
8:59
Speaker 2: don't think they.
9:00
Speaker 3: I think the curses more of the uh Shoho Tani Yamamoto,
9:04
Speaker 3: Blake Snell that type of curse maybe, But yeah, maybe that.
9:09
Speaker 3: But I think we should be leaning into it more.
9:11
Speaker 3: Is like we're the big bad brother. You should be
9:13
Speaker 3: scared of us. We're the ones that are knocking you
9:16
Speaker 3: around the block a little bit. We've been doing it.
9:18
Speaker 3: You can't beat us.
9:19
Speaker 2: We're in your head. We are your daddy.
9:22
Speaker 3: Like. We have to remind Cubs fans where their daddy like.
9:25
Speaker 3: That's my point in the situation. And we're not doing
9:27
Speaker 3: that enough because Cubs fans, when they were winning a
9:30
Speaker 3: lot of series against the Brewers. Wanted to let you know,
9:33
Speaker 3: I'm your daddy, but they haven't been our daddy. We've
9:36
Speaker 3: been daddying them, so then therefore we should act like
9:39
Speaker 3: it and remind them so. To Will's point, I think
9:43
Speaker 3: these stats, these facts are important. I'm gonna say facts,
9:46
Speaker 3: not that's these facts are important. Console has only won
9:49
Speaker 3: one series against the Bruis is becoming coach. To the
9:51
Speaker 3: manager of the Cubs, we have been better and I
9:53
Speaker 3: believe will continue to be better. Yeah.
9:55
Speaker 1: And the manager that's in the Brewers dugout while nursing
9:59
Speaker 1: a bad bat which hopefully got rectified yesterday during the
10:02
Speaker 1: off day he was having remember he was having a
10:04
Speaker 1: ruptured disc procedure yesterday about that. My man is gonna
10:07
Speaker 1: be back on the perch coming up here today. But
10:09
Speaker 1: as one back to back manager of the year's back
10:11
Speaker 1: back divisions, and the train hasn't necessarily stopped rolling here.
10:15
Speaker 1: I see Eddie and Sallis saying Craig's gonna get canned
10:17
Speaker 1: after the Brewers sweep this series. I don't believe that's
10:21
Speaker 1: gonna be the case. I believe though the disappointment in
10:26
Speaker 1: the return on investment is is kind of creeping in
10:29
Speaker 1: on some cup stands, though, I think there are many
10:32
Speaker 1: Cubs fans that are asking with the palms up, saying
10:34
Speaker 1: eight million bucks for this, this is what we're getting now.
10:38
Speaker 1: He can't keep Edward Cabrera off of the IL, can't
10:42
Speaker 1: figure out a way to fix Kate Orton's elbow without
10:46
Speaker 1: a Tommy John surgery, missing a bunch of time.
10:48
Speaker 2: But that's the sport. You're gonna miss a lot of time.
10:50
Speaker 1: And that was one of the reasons why the thought was,
10:53
Speaker 1: council comes down with some magic Pixie does, and you
10:56
Speaker 1: did so much more with so much less for so
10:58
Speaker 1: many years. Why can't you do so much more with
11:01
Speaker 1: even more resources? Well, last David Stearns, it just isn't
11:04
Speaker 1: that easy. It's not as easy as you would think
11:07
Speaker 1: that way. No, definitely not. And and to Eddy's point,
11:10
Speaker 1: they've been disappointed.
11:11
Speaker 3: But I mean, if the if the playoffs start today,
11:14
Speaker 3: that comes would be a wildcard team.
11:15
Speaker 2: So I don't think.
11:16
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody that's going to be in the
11:17
Speaker 3: playoffs is gonna get canned their mid season, unless I
11:20
Speaker 3: you know, you never know.
11:21
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm wrong, Tim hits us back. I'm an idiot.
11:23
Speaker 2: It was Saturday night. You were right. I'm not a rancher.
11:26
Speaker 3: I'm a heavy equipment the same thing equipment that color
11:30
Speaker 3: is a lot bluer tim than the ones over on
11:33
Speaker 3: this side. But I think he's like, Okay, I say my,
11:35
Speaker 3: I say why I almost in Montana, I'm bad. I say,
11:38
Speaker 3: Wyoming cattle rancher. That's like the modern day cattle rancher.
11:44
Speaker 3: I mean, have you equipment means you're doing big time
11:46
Speaker 3: man stuff, which you know that's blue collar manliness.
11:51
Speaker 2: It counts, It all counts together, you know.
11:53
Speaker 1: I think I think it'll count, no doubt about it.
11:57
Speaker 1: You know, if you ever saw that show, Eric and Whitewater,
12:00
Speaker 1: Murphy had to have back searcher from carrying council around
12:02
Speaker 1: for years.
12:03
Speaker 2: That's a good joke. I love that. I love that one.
12:05
Speaker 1: Everyone was looking for that carrying joke because I'm were
12:07
Speaker 1: in the back of their mind, and Derek found it
12:10
Speaker 1: well done. Derek Jeffrey from Milwaukee said, uh, fellas, I
12:12
Speaker 1: also got off today for another golf outing, but couldn't
12:16
Speaker 1: help but wake.
12:16
Speaker 2: Up with you boys this morning. I appreciate.
12:19
Speaker 1: I think as long as Armond's beautiful, it gets his
12:21
Speaker 1: beautiful daughter and some Brewers gear at the park tonight.
12:23
Speaker 1: I think it's a win for armand and doctor nating
12:26
Speaker 1: his daughter as a Brewers fan. Great game ahead of
12:28
Speaker 1: us tonight.
12:28
Speaker 2: Thank you.
12:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been I've been letting her know because we
12:31
Speaker 3: have one of those baseballs in a room that has
12:33
Speaker 3: the Brewers logo and the Cubs logo.
12:35
Speaker 2: It's a rivalry ball, for sure, Yeah, for sure.
12:41
Speaker 3: But I was with the Brewers side, and I say,
12:43
Speaker 3: remember a brew and she says Brewers, And then our
12:48
Speaker 3: logo has the ball in it, which is liked, which
12:50
Speaker 3: is gonna be a winner. She's it's a winner for her.
12:52
Speaker 3: So I'm still hopeful. I'm still hopeful that we're going
12:55
Speaker 3: to be doing that. And then yes, what's that Billy Jo.
12:58
Speaker 1: And Maggie just brought up something good and mentioning how
13:00
Speaker 1: much you just tried to you just claim daddy status
13:03
Speaker 1: over she said, Arman, I hope you didn't just jinx
13:05
Speaker 1: the Brewers.
13:07
Speaker 2: Why. I think it's the problem, no, e yours, Maggie.
13:10
Speaker 2: This is the hap.
13:11
Speaker 3: How many times do we have to keep winning before
13:13
Speaker 3: we can at least say we don't have.
13:15
Speaker 2: To be scared of losing anymore. Does that makes sense?
13:17
Speaker 3: Did I jinx us by saying word No, this is
13:20
Speaker 3: a fact we've been better than the Cubs recently and
13:24
Speaker 3: we should embrace that to continue to exercise dominance over them.
13:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ben for a while, and like that is that
13:29
Speaker 1: that is a known fact that the the schedule or
13:32
Speaker 1: the standings and the wins and losses have been slanted
13:34
Speaker 1: in this direction.
13:35
Speaker 2: The division titles have been slanted in this direction.
13:37
Speaker 1: And that that's why last year I was outwardly confident
13:41
Speaker 1: going into the divisional round best of five series.
13:44
Speaker 2: Now that was a that was a hard pumper, no doubt.
13:47
Speaker 1: We tested all of your patients and will power and
13:51
Speaker 1: uh belief.
13:52
Speaker 2: But last year in the playoffs, that was.
13:55
Speaker 1: Maybe one of the most pro Brewer Brewer Cup crowds
13:59
Speaker 1: we've had along time. Incredible, And I think the little
14:03
Speaker 1: bit of a warning flair that was sent by the
14:07
Speaker 1: ticketing department to say, hey, if we see these things
14:10
Speaker 1: end up on a secondary markets, good luck getting the
14:13
Speaker 1: pre sale code next time. I think I think the
14:16
Speaker 1: little warning flares probably did help some.
14:19
Speaker 2: I don't.
14:19
Speaker 1: It obviously didn't alleviate all, but those those crowds seemed
14:23
Speaker 1: eighty twenty at worst, I think it'll be a little
14:26
Speaker 1: closer to fifty to fifty. I don't think that there's
14:28
Speaker 1: I don't think we're all kid in ourselves with that.
14:30
Speaker 1: But both teams are good, and that's why both teams
14:32
Speaker 1: want to be a part of it. Jeffrey and Milwaukee, though,
14:34
Speaker 1: does have an interesting keake on and said, what I
14:36
Speaker 1: hate that the league is done with these Brewers in
14:37
Speaker 1: Cup series. I believe the last three years is that
14:40
Speaker 1: they made the Brewers home games weekend games and the
14:43
Speaker 1: Cup home games during the week makes it much easier
14:45
Speaker 1: for cub fans who invade Milwaukee than us go down
14:48
Speaker 1: to Wrigley during the week, since we're hardworking people up here.
14:52
Speaker 2: That's a good point. I mean, I haven't read that.
14:55
Speaker 1: Would Loui Elia would admit he's like people in Milwaukee
14:58
Speaker 1: got jobs that all those day games.
15:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, eighty five percent of the world works, the other
15:01
Speaker 3: fifteen come down here.
15:04
Speaker 2: I didn't think about that. I'm not sure if it's
15:05
Speaker 2: actually true.
15:06
Speaker 3: If you went back and counted out the days of
15:09
Speaker 3: who has more home games in the weekends, maybe that's something.
15:12
Speaker 3: It's probably random overtime. These are little things you can't
15:15
Speaker 3: but we can't worry about these old things. We have
15:17
Speaker 3: to have the attitude we're gonna beat them anytime, anywhere.
15:19
Speaker 3: To Maggie's point, we're never gonna beat one team all
15:22
Speaker 3: the time. The Cubs will win some games on us,
15:25
Speaker 3: but we can't have the attitude like we want one
15:28
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty in a row, but I can't say
15:30
Speaker 3: anything about it because we might lose one hundred twenty first.
15:32
Speaker 3: Then you're never gonna be able to enjoy being better.
15:35
Speaker 3: So you gotta be able to enjoy it a little
15:36
Speaker 3: bit and say.
15:37
Speaker 2: Okay, we're better.
15:38
Speaker 3: And if I believe we're better, and we're the Daddy,
15:40
Speaker 3: and if you come in and get one on Daddy,
15:41
Speaker 3: that's fine, but we're gonna get the next ten.
15:44
Speaker 2: That's the ads that you get.
15:45
Speaker 1: Will this will this warm you up a little bit
15:48
Speaker 1: for some Caleb Williams smack talk.
15:50
Speaker 2: I think. So it's got to Billy, because this is good.
15:53
Speaker 3: This is bound to be a big year, and I'm
15:55
Speaker 3: for the smack talk when it comes to Cubs and
15:57
Speaker 3: Bears and Brewers and Packers. And I'm hoping that it
16:01
Speaker 3: all coincides with me finally getting my Twitter come back
16:03
Speaker 3: in two months when the season.
16:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need that.
16:06
Speaker 1: We just need the Packers and Bears fans need that
16:09
Speaker 1: for the rivalry.
16:10
Speaker 3: You know what really bothers me when it comes deep
16:12
Speaker 3: down to it. I don't want one of those dorks
16:15
Speaker 3: on the internet to think I ran from the smoke.
16:17
Speaker 3: I don't want them to think that just because they're
16:19
Speaker 3: not gonna be able to tweet at me.
16:20
Speaker 4: Yeah.
16:21
Speaker 2: I think they see men's turvy and they know that
16:22
Speaker 2: you didn't run. Dude.
16:23
Speaker 3: My hackers got something coming for him, though, doesn't he.
16:26
Speaker 3: If the Cups win again that game, he's gonna be
16:28
Speaker 3: getting all kinds of mentions, not knowing what's he will
16:30
Speaker 3: get in and data and be like, what happened here? Yeah?
16:33
Speaker 1: I didn't get any Caleb clapback. Yesterday, Caleb Williams attempt
16:38
Speaker 1: to trademark Iceman reportedly at least temporarily has been given
16:44
Speaker 1: the boot on the trademark. The United States Patent and
16:47
Speaker 1: Trademark Office initially refused the Bear's quarterback application for Iceman
16:52
Speaker 1: as of Wednesday, according to some records, not because NBA
16:58
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer George Gervin It or UFC Hall of
17:02
Speaker 1: Famer Chuck Liddell also a man, of course, not because
17:05
Speaker 1: either of them have it, but instead uh us p
17:09
Speaker 1: t O. Gotta make sure we get the full acronym
17:13
Speaker 1: in there. Having saw too much similarity and a likelihood
17:17
Speaker 1: of confusion in a trademark file in nineteen eighty eight
17:21
Speaker 1: by Lacrosse Footwear for insulated boots.
17:25
Speaker 2: Let's go. They didn't know how they were helping us
17:28
Speaker 2: out years later books.
17:29
Speaker 1: And Lacrosse back in the eighties didn't realize how much
17:32
Speaker 1: you were helping us today.
17:33
Speaker 3: I'm better get a pair of them damn boots just
17:35
Speaker 3: to support them, and they still make them.
17:36
Speaker 2: We're gonna check and we're gonna try to find out
17:38
Speaker 2: for you.
17:41
Speaker 1: I used boots if it don't work, but work boots.
17:44
Speaker 1: But well they say the steel toe boots like snow boots.
17:47
Speaker 1: Now don't say insulated boots. I'm thinking they're just winter boots.
17:50
Speaker 1: I'll tell you I'll take that then never mind. I
17:52
Speaker 1: thought this was like steel toe work boots and stuff.
17:54
Speaker 2: Well, either one of those boots.
17:56
Speaker 1: Uh Tricia Whitaker has been known to uh to rock
17:59
Speaker 1: a pair of boots, also be able to eat a
18:01
Speaker 1: pocket pancake fresh out of the manager's pocket all facts.
18:07
Speaker 1: Also was the proud owner of a turtle earlier on
18:10

19:46
Speaker 1: of Apple TV sideline reporter for the game this evening.
19:50
Speaker 1: That conversation right now huddled up with you at Fox
19:52
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, Michell, how are you.
19:54
Speaker 5: I'm so good. I'm so excited for this game.
19:56
Speaker 4: I had this game circled because, like you know, I
19:58
Speaker 4: grew up a cubstand and I grew up in the Midwest,
20:00
Speaker 4: and so when I saw I know, I know how
20:03
Speaker 4: big the Cubs. Brewer's rivalry is obviously Cardinals Cubs too.
20:06
Speaker 5: But I was so excited for this one.
20:09
Speaker 6: Yeah, and the cherry on top is that Misrowski lines
20:12
Speaker 6: up to pitch this game.
20:14
Speaker 2: I mean, it is going to be awesome.
20:15
Speaker 6: It's the series opener, first time the Cubs have been
20:17
Speaker 6: back at American Family Field since, of course Game five
20:20
Speaker 6: of the NLDS last year. So yeah, I mean, obviously,
20:25
Speaker 6: you're around a lot of ballparks, You're around a lot
20:27
Speaker 6: of teams. What is kind of the I don't know
20:30
Speaker 6: the national perspective of the Brewers so far as they
20:33
Speaker 6: sit here coming into this weekend series, just that they're.
20:36
Speaker 5: Really really good, right.
20:37
Speaker 4: They do everything really well, and they're led by an
20:41
Speaker 4: elite manager in Pat Murphy, who obviously creates a really
20:44
Speaker 4: good culture, but also is just a really good baseball guy.
20:49
Speaker 4: I think obviously Jacob Mazarowski has been unbelievable, and I
20:55
Speaker 4: think his story is wild, just looking back to last
20:57
Speaker 4: season when everybody was complaining about him being an All
20:59
Speaker 4: Star and then he.
21:00
Speaker 5: Goes out this year and he's like, no, I'm gonna
21:02
Speaker 5: show you why I am one.
21:03
Speaker 4: Now he's a front runner for the SA Young like
21:05
Speaker 4: talk about a comeback tour, let's go right. I love that,
21:09
Speaker 4: And then you know, they've they've they've just handled everything
21:12
Speaker 4: so well this season, and when you really look at it,
21:16
Speaker 4: despite their really good record, the rotation, right, it kind
21:19
Speaker 4: of was a game of musical chairs for a little
21:21
Speaker 4: bit because of the injuries.
21:22
Speaker 5: So the fact that they were able to withstand.
21:24
Speaker 4: That, and I just I think this team is all
21:29
Speaker 4: around a really really good team, and I think the
21:32
Speaker 4: division is theirs to lose.
21:34
Speaker 6: I you know, hey, when you're the division champs three
21:37
Speaker 6: years in a row, it's it's hard not to feel
21:38
Speaker 6: that way. Talking about Jacob Izerowski, you know, just what
21:43
Speaker 6: he's done this season obviously, like you said, it's just
21:45
Speaker 6: been unbelievable. You know, we being up close and personal
21:48
Speaker 6: to it all season. It's just every start it's like,
21:51
Speaker 6: from pitch one to the very last pitch you want
21:54
Speaker 6: to be locked in because you don't know if that's
21:56
Speaker 6: gonna be the fastest pitch ever thrown by a starter,
21:58
Speaker 6: so right, I mean, it's it's wild he's hitting you
22:02
Speaker 6: know what. That just that game against the Phillies obviously
22:05
Speaker 6: is the one that sticks in our minds, the complete
22:07
Speaker 6: game where it's like he comes into the game the
22:09
Speaker 6: fastest pitch thrown by starters, in the stack cast Ari
22:12
Speaker 6: since two thousand and eight. It's one O three point
22:14
Speaker 6: seven coming into that game. He hits that in the
22:16
Speaker 6: ninth inning. Just absolutely incredible. What has impressed you the most?
22:20
Speaker 6: Obviously the velocity is there, but this, you know, he
22:23
Speaker 6: just turned one year, you know, one year old in
22:25
Speaker 6: the big league so to speak. You know, a year
22:27
Speaker 6: about a year ago he made his major league debut.
22:29
Speaker 6: What's impressed you the moment?
22:31
Speaker 4: What was it?
22:31
Speaker 5: One hundred and four point two?
22:33
Speaker 4: Is that?
22:33
Speaker 2: What it was that he hit zero point five? I
22:35
Speaker 2: think he's now he's.
22:37
Speaker 5: Oh my god, that's interest. That's insane.
22:39
Speaker 4: I remember seeing that during I think it was was
22:42
Speaker 4: it on a Friday, I don't know, I remember seeing
22:44
Speaker 4: it was like I was like, I was in the
22:46
Speaker 4: middle of the Apple broadcast and I did a double
22:48
Speaker 4: take because I was like, I think I read this
22:50
Speaker 4: wrong because I'm distracted by doing the broadcast.
22:52
Speaker 5: And then I like back and I'm like, holy crap,
22:54
Speaker 5: I did not read this wrong. That's insane. That's wild.
22:58
Speaker 4: He does everything so well. I mean you mentioned that
23:00
Speaker 4: the overpowering velocity is insane. It's like nothing we've ever
23:04
Speaker 4: seen before. You know, you've heard guys around the big
23:07
Speaker 4: leagues talk about how it's the best fastball they've ever
23:10
Speaker 4: seen in their entire career, even veteran saying that, And
23:13
Speaker 4: that just kind of goes to show you what an
23:15
Speaker 4: overpowering presidence he has on the mound. And then the
23:20
Speaker 4: other thing a lot of people talk about with him
23:22
Speaker 4: is his elite extension.
23:24
Speaker 3: Right.
23:25
Speaker 4: Obviously, he's six seven, he's incredibly long, and that extension
23:29
Speaker 4: he has is just unreal. I'm not saying he is
23:33
Speaker 4: exactly like Tyler Glass now or anything, but his extension
23:36
Speaker 4: and his length reminds me a little bit of watching
23:39
Speaker 4: Glass now when I was with the Rays.
23:42
Speaker 5: His repertoire is insane.
23:45
Speaker 4: Obviously you talked about his his fastball, which is his
23:49
Speaker 4: highest used pitch, right, But then he's got other things
23:51
Speaker 4: that he can use too, And I think the.
23:56
Speaker 5: Efficiency too stands out for me. What was that performance
23:59
Speaker 5: he had when he had fifteen strike something like that.
24:02
Speaker 6: On ninety ninety five pitch in fifteen Yeah, fifteen strikeouts
24:06
Speaker 6: ninety five pitches nine inch insane?
24:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, I say, I was told there will be no math.
24:10
Speaker 4: I tell storylines. It's hard sometimes for me to remember numbers.
24:13
Speaker 4: To the you know to the tee, but I did remember,
24:16
Speaker 4: you know that, just being like I was like, holy crap,
24:19
Speaker 4: that's efficient, right.
24:20
Speaker 5: So I think he's just the total package.
24:23
Speaker 4: And I'm just really really excited to I've never watched
24:28
Speaker 4: him pitch in person before.
24:29
Speaker 2: Okay, I was going to ask you if you have,
24:31
Speaker 2: no I haven't, and I'm.
24:32
Speaker 5: So excited to watch him pitch in person.
24:34
Speaker 4: I'm hoping he throws like a ridiculous game, like you know,
24:37
Speaker 4: another complete game, shutout or something, so that he can
24:40
Speaker 4: be the star of the game interview afterwards, because I've
24:42
Speaker 4: never interviewed him before. But I mean, I just think
24:46
Speaker 4: what he has done for the Brewers is unbelievable this season,
24:50
Speaker 4: and it's been really good I think for baseball too.
24:53
Speaker 5: To see that.
24:54
Speaker 2: It's interesting.
24:55
Speaker 6: I was talking with one of the radio broadcasters for
24:57
Speaker 6: the Brewers, Leane Grendle, recently, and it was right after
24:59
Speaker 6: that against the Phillies, and you see he said, he
25:02
Speaker 6: basically said, he's like, you know, you can go back
25:05
Speaker 6: to a start by Jacob Izarowski and you can go
25:08
Speaker 6: back and see which at bats matter the most because
25:11
Speaker 6: you can see his velocity tick up in those at bats.
25:14
Speaker 2: It's like he saves it reaches back for a little
25:16
Speaker 2: bit more.
25:17
Speaker 6: Yes, and you could tell, like the fifth inning, hope
25:20
Speaker 6: there was a runner on. Okay, I mean rarely there's
25:22
Speaker 6: a runner on, but runner on.
25:24
Speaker 4: Well, probably something that not enough people are talking about, right,
25:27
Speaker 4: because everybody wants to talk about his overpowering velocity obviously,
25:31
Speaker 4: his extension.
25:32
Speaker 5: On the mound, all that stuff, But let's talk about
25:34
Speaker 5: is awareness in the middle of.
25:35
Speaker 4: An at bat like that, right, The fact that he
25:37
Speaker 4: can be like, all right, I got to reach back
25:39
Speaker 4: for a little bit more, which, to you know, the
25:41
Speaker 4: normal person seems like, Okay, obviously you're gonna well no,
25:44
Speaker 4: not obviously, Like a lot of times that is hard
25:46
Speaker 4: for guys to learn it, like a young age, or
25:48
Speaker 4: or really not even just an a young age. There
25:50
Speaker 4: are veterans who are terrible at that. So that is
25:52
Speaker 4: something that I feel like we're not talking about enough
25:54
Speaker 4: with him.
25:55
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
25:56
Speaker 6: Tricia Whitaker from Apple TV joining us. She'll be on
25:59
Speaker 6: the call as the reporter coming up Friday night as
26:01
Speaker 6: the Brewers take on the Cubs. And you know, it
26:04
Speaker 6: has been sensational to watch him throughout this year. I
26:07
Speaker 6: have a feeling maybe the velocity ticks up, maybe just
26:09
Speaker 6: a little more because they're playing the Cubs. I'm sure
26:11
Speaker 6: the crowd will be exceptional coming up on Friday Night.
26:14
Speaker 6: Where do you see this Brewers Cubs rivalry you mentioned?
26:16
Speaker 6: Obviously it's an important rivalry. Obviously it was made a
26:20
Speaker 6: little bit more important when Craig Council went from Milwaukee
26:23
Speaker 6: to Chicago, and I think.
26:25
Speaker 2: That reinvigorated the rivalry.
26:27
Speaker 6: And these two have been battling in the NL Central
26:29
Speaker 6: the last couple of years, but in the grand scheme,
26:31
Speaker 6: because obviously you have a national perspective of Major League Baseball,
26:34
Speaker 6: where does it sit right now in rivalries in baseball?
26:37
Speaker 4: You know, I don't think we talk about this rivalry enough.
26:40
Speaker 4: I think we talked about a lot of rivalries in baseball.
26:42
Speaker 4: But I mean I'm probably a little biased just because
26:45
Speaker 4: I grew up in the Midwest. But for me in
26:47
Speaker 4: the Midwest, when I think of baseball rivalries, I think
26:49
Speaker 4: of Cubs Brewers, but I also think of Cubs Cardinals, right,
26:53
Speaker 4: and then sometimes you would.
26:54
Speaker 5: Think of Cubs White Sox. But you know, before this year,
26:57
Speaker 5: that wasn't a rivalry at all.
27:00
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, in the recent years, before they hated
27:03
Speaker 4: each other, right, But I love this rivalry and I
27:08
Speaker 4: think the postseason last.
27:11
Speaker 5: Year obviously added a little bit of fire to it,
27:13
Speaker 5: which I love.
27:15
Speaker 4: And you know, then obviously the irony of Craig Council
27:18
Speaker 4: going to the Cubs and Pat Murphy taking over with
27:20
Speaker 4: the Brewers, right, it's really interesting. But I mean, right now,
27:25
Speaker 4: the Brewers completely owned twenty twenty six and obviously in
27:29
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five got the best of them. So like that,
27:32
Speaker 4: I think if you're talking about rivalry this specific year,
27:35
Speaker 4: I think it's a rivalry because of the history. I
27:40
Speaker 4: don't think it's necessarily like, I don't think the whole
27:42
Speaker 4: baseball world this year is pointing to this matchup and
27:45
Speaker 4: being like, oh, like you know, huge rivalry game happening here. Like, yes,
27:49
Speaker 4: it is a rivalry game, but like the Brewers, you know,
27:52
Speaker 4: they kind of handed it to them this season so
27:54
Speaker 4: far and then obviously the postseason.
28:01
Speaker 6: Yeah, what are your thoughts on the Cubs season as
28:04
Speaker 6: a whole. Obviously we pay attention. I think Brewers fans
28:06
Speaker 6: probably pay attention to the Cubs more than any other team.
28:08
Speaker 6: You know, when they're looking at the scores on their phone,
28:10
Speaker 6: the Cubs score it's probably at the top other than
28:13
Speaker 6: the Brewers score. So what Obviously they're pitching and they
28:17
Speaker 6: continue to have more and more pitching injuries. But what
28:21
Speaker 6: has kind of been your perspective on the Cubs so
28:23
Speaker 6: far this year?
28:24
Speaker 4: You know, I think the Cubs are good, but gosh,
28:27
Speaker 4: brutal starting rotation blows right with injury.
28:29
Speaker 5: I mean, that's just how do you get through some
28:32
Speaker 5: of that? That's really really hard.
28:34
Speaker 4: But I think obviously to start the season the Cubs
28:37
Speaker 4: were just like, I mean, I know that they've had
28:40
Speaker 4: some really bad losing streaks.
28:42
Speaker 5: I know that, but they've also had some incredible winning streaks.
28:45
Speaker 4: I think if they were at full strength, this would
28:47
Speaker 4: be a totally different conversation. And I think the Brewers
28:51
Speaker 4: Cubs rivalry game this Friday would be a totally different conversation.
28:54
Speaker 4: Now you still look at it and what they're only
28:56
Speaker 4: like seven seven a half games behind the Brewers.
28:58
Speaker 5: Right, It's a long season.
29:00
Speaker 4: It's an incredibly long season, but those starting rotation blows
29:03
Speaker 4: are really really gonna hurt them. It's been really fun
29:06
Speaker 4: watching Pete crow Armstrong this year, just having a massive
29:11
Speaker 4: breakout campaign and seeing what he's able to do.
29:14
Speaker 5: Hitting for the cycle the other day.
29:16
Speaker 4: I know what happened right after for the cycle Obviously
29:18
Speaker 4: not a great moment there, but like, it's been really
29:22
Speaker 4: fun to watch that.
29:23
Speaker 5: Right, They have a leak on base ability, which has
29:25
Speaker 5: been great, And I think.
29:30
Speaker 4: I do think though, when you talk about I mean,
29:33
Speaker 4: the Cubs desperately need to go out and get somebody
29:36
Speaker 4: to bolster their rotation, right.
29:38
Speaker 5: They desperately need that, and if they.
29:39
Speaker 4: Don't do that, you're looking at a really tough road
29:43
Speaker 4: for them when it comes to September and October.
29:45
Speaker 5: You can't win those games without a strong You just can't.
29:47
Speaker 5: You can't.
29:48
Speaker 4: There's only one version of the Tampa Bay Rays. And honestly,
29:51
Speaker 4: we've seen what happens to them in the postseason. Right
29:53
Speaker 4: They have an insane regular season and they put together
29:57
Speaker 4: this team just kind of oh, it's just kind of
30:01
Speaker 4: all over the place, right, And I think with the Cubs,
30:04
Speaker 4: if they don't go out and get somebody, I think
30:07
Speaker 4: that's going to make their destiny this season just a
30:10
Speaker 4: lot more tough.
30:13
Speaker 5: That's what, at least what I see when I look
30:15
Speaker 5: at the Cubs right now.
30:16
Speaker 6: Yeah, it makes a lot of sense. The National League
30:19
Speaker 6: as a hole. I wanted to ask you about because
30:21
Speaker 6: you've got obviously the Dodgers. Braves have had a really
30:23
Speaker 6: good start to start to the season. As of late,
30:26
Speaker 6: they haven't been maybe as good, but they've still got
30:28
Speaker 6: the great record. Brewers right there as well, Well, how
30:31
Speaker 6: do you see this national league? And then of course
30:33
Speaker 6: the Phillies have played a lot better in the last
30:35
Speaker 6: couple of months than they did in the first month
30:37
Speaker 6: of the season.
30:38
Speaker 2: So where do you kind of see this national league?
30:40
Speaker 1: Is it?
30:40
Speaker 6: I mean, it's hard to say anything, but you know,
30:43
Speaker 6: everybody's chasing the Dodgers, But where do you see this
30:45
Speaker 6: National league right now?
30:46
Speaker 1: Yeah?
30:47
Speaker 4: I mean I think it's interesting you bring up the
30:48
Speaker 4: Phillies too, because the Phillies were one of our first
30:50
Speaker 4: games on Apple TV this season. It was maybe like
30:53
Speaker 4: three weeks in the season, and that's when they were
30:55
Speaker 4: just like You're sitting there.
30:56
Speaker 5: And you're like, oh my god, is this really happening?
30:58
Speaker 5: This Sea is really that bad?
31:00
Speaker 4: And now what are they like five and a half games,
31:01
Speaker 4: five game, six games back, something like that.
31:05
Speaker 5: That's insane to me.
31:06
Speaker 3: Right.
31:07
Speaker 4: Obviously, you have the Braves and they're just unbelievable. Right now,
31:10
Speaker 4: you have the Dodgers, which are just a powerhouse. But
31:14
Speaker 4: you know, when I look at the National League, obviously
31:18
Speaker 4: you think of those teams first, right, But I mean,
31:21
Speaker 4: and I know people are gonna be like, oh, like,
31:23
Speaker 4: you love the Brewers. You have a great relationship with
31:25
Speaker 4: Pat Murphy. Of course you're going to say this, but like,
31:27
Speaker 4: I really do like the Brewers. Like when you got
31:30
Speaker 4: a guy like Miz on the mound and you have
31:31
Speaker 4: the offense that they have, and you have, you know,
31:34
Speaker 4: kind of all the pieces that they've got, I think
31:36
Speaker 4: when you look at what they have, that's a really
31:39
Speaker 4: good recipe for the postseason. And that's a really good
31:41
Speaker 4: recipe for September. And I'm not saying that like it's
31:46
Speaker 4: an easy path. Obviously, the Dodgers are ridiculous and the
31:50
Speaker 4: Braves are really good. But I'm looking at the comparison
31:53
Speaker 4: in their record right now between the Brewers and the
31:55
Speaker 4: Brave in the world, the Brewers technically a better record
31:58
Speaker 4: than the Braves technically, right. So, I think the Brewers
32:03
Speaker 4: being a small market means not a lot of people
32:05
Speaker 4: talk about them when it comes to powerhouses in baseball.
32:07
Speaker 4: But this year, right now, you can't say that They're
32:10
Speaker 4: not a powerhouse in the NL. You cannot say that,
32:12
Speaker 4: and you shouldn't say that because they're going to prove
32:15
Speaker 4: you wrong late the season and when October rolls around.
32:19
Speaker 4: So that's kind of how I view the National League
32:21
Speaker 4: right now. I also think the Phillies. I feel like
32:24
Speaker 4: every year we're talking about them having some of that
32:27
Speaker 4: magic at the end of the season, and then obviously
32:29
Speaker 4: their magic in October.
32:31
Speaker 5: So don't count them out either.
32:33
Speaker 6: Have you been surprised by the Cardinals being able to
32:36
Speaker 6: sustain this Like a lot of us kind of here
32:39
Speaker 6: in Milwaukee were like, yeah, Okay, they started the year
32:42
Speaker 6: off good, but they're still kind of working their way back.
32:44
Speaker 6: They've been able to stay above set about seventy eight
32:47
Speaker 6: games above five hundred. Now well into June. We're almost
32:50
Speaker 6: a July.
32:51
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, it's insane.
32:52
Speaker 4: I just had the Cardinals on Friday in Kansas City,
32:56
Speaker 4: and I was really really impressed by them. The Royals
32:58
Speaker 4: won that game, but I interviewed JJ Weatherholt and I
33:02
Speaker 4: was just wildly impressed by his maturity. And I think
33:07
Speaker 4: they have a really, really good group, and I think
33:09
Speaker 4: one of the ways they put it when I was
33:11
Speaker 4: talking to them when I was in the manager meeting
33:13
Speaker 4: with Aliam rmal is, they're kind of playing with house money.
33:15
Speaker 4: Everybody came into the season being like the Cardinals are
33:18
Speaker 4: going to be really bad. They're going to be really bad,
33:19
Speaker 4: and they're like, Okay, cool, you can say that. Look
33:22
Speaker 4: at us now, right, And they're not really bad. They
33:24
Speaker 4: actually very very good, and you know, just stalking to
33:29
Speaker 4: I remember I saw Heim Bloom on my way into
33:32
Speaker 4: the stadium and I looked at him and I go, men,
33:34
Speaker 4: you guys should do a great I know him from
33:36
Speaker 4: my time with the Tampa Bay.
33:38
Speaker 5: Race and he looked at me, he goes, well, Trish,
33:40
Speaker 5: we haven't done anything yet. And I'm like, oh damn.
33:42
Speaker 4: You guys really have this mentality like you knew you
33:45
Speaker 4: were going to be good and the rest of us
33:46
Speaker 4: were just living under a rock.
33:47
Speaker 3: Right.
33:48
Speaker 4: So I love that and I love their mentality and
33:51
Speaker 4: their kind of house money mindset right now, you know,
33:54
Speaker 4: because they they're they're not really playing with a ton
33:57
Speaker 4: of pressure because they're kind of the underdogs, and I
34:00
Speaker 4: think there's something to be said for that. But no,
34:02
Speaker 4: I've been wildly impressed with the Cardinals, and again being
34:05
Speaker 4: a Midwest girl. The Cardinals are only like three and
34:08
Speaker 4: a half hours from my house. I'm always gonna pull
34:11
Speaker 4: for the Midwest teams.
34:13
Speaker 5: I'm so biased.
34:14
Speaker 4: I'm like anything with the Reds, the Cardinals, the Cubs,
34:18
Speaker 4: and the Brewers take down all those other powerhouse franchises
34:22
Speaker 4: like the Dodgers and Phillies.
34:23
Speaker 5: Let's go.
34:24
Speaker 2: I love it.
34:24
Speaker 6: Us Midwest people stick together, you know, that's what we do.
34:27
Speaker 6: And I love I love that you're able to get
34:31
Speaker 6: to Milwaukee this weekend for this great because some of
34:34
Speaker 6: the best atmospheres in the last few years in Milwaukee
34:37
Speaker 6: have been when the Brewers and Cubs have matched up
34:39
Speaker 6: and miss Rowski being on the mound on Friday.
34:41
Speaker 4: I remember watching and this isn't like a great atmosphere story,
34:45
Speaker 4: but when I was like working in Green Bay, Wisconsin
34:48
Speaker 4: at Wbay, we would go to Cubs Brewers games as
34:52
Speaker 4: fans sometimes, and.
34:53
Speaker 5: I remember I was so poor.
34:56
Speaker 4: I made no money, so I had to sit in
34:57
Speaker 4: the three hundred level like nosebleeds or whatever. And I
35:00
Speaker 4: mean those fans you want to talk about rowdy. You
35:04
Speaker 4: get a bunch of Midwesterners in the three hundred level
35:07
Speaker 4: for like, you know, beer night, where it's only five dollars,
35:11
Speaker 4: you're gonna see some things.
35:12
Speaker 5: And I saw some things, but I loved it. It
35:15
Speaker 5: was awesome.
35:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no doubt.
35:18
Speaker 6: There is just a different atmosphere and a different energy
35:22
Speaker 6: when it comes to the ballpark when the Brewers and
35:24
Speaker 6: Cubs get together. And so yeah, this weekend, Misowski on
35:27
Speaker 6: the Mount on Friday, than Kyle Harrison, who's been exceptional
35:30
Speaker 6: as well. He'll be on the mound Saturday, and Brandon
35:32
Speaker 6: Woodriff on Sunday. So Burrs have kind of their horses
35:34
Speaker 6: going against the Cubs this weekend.
35:37
Speaker 2: Tricia, I really appreciate the time.
35:38
Speaker 6: As always, we'll look forward to the broadcast on Friday
35:41
Speaker 6: night on Apple TV. That's how everybody Brewers fans take note.
35:44
Speaker 6: That's how you can watch the game on Friday night
35:46
Speaker 6: between the Brewers and the Cubs and see what Jacob
35:49
Speaker 6: Miserowski does this time.
35:50
Speaker 2: Thanks Tricia, And.
35:51
Speaker 1: He's hid Tricia Whitaker hanging out with us and Hunter
35:55
Speaker 1: Bombguard from Apple TV. They'll be on the call tonight.
35:58
Speaker 1: She will be as well, pro self proclaimed Cub fan
36:01
Speaker 1: earlier in her life.
36:02
Speaker 2: Earlier now she's a Midwest baseball fan.
36:04
Speaker 3: Midwest baseball fan, always up on the terrace level, throwing
36:07
Speaker 3: them things back.
36:08
Speaker 2: You know, final career. You know, we know what she meant.
36:11
Speaker 2: We know she meant terras, not club level. We know
36:13
Speaker 2: what she meant. Well, I I've been known to enjoy
36:15
Speaker 2: the club level. Oh yeah, but she meant the chief seats.
36:18
Speaker 2: I think she was meaning. I think she was meaning
36:20
Speaker 2: the four hundreds. But again, she can get a club seat.
36:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and listen, Bruce game is still one of
36:26
Speaker 1: the more affordable times out. A lot of folks can
36:29
Speaker 1: still find ways to be able to sit in those seats.
36:31
Speaker 1: Coming up, the next Friday home game will be one
36:33
Speaker 1: of those Wisconsin Fridays where you'll get fifty percent off.
36:37
Speaker 1: That's one that you want to hunt into that club.

39:07
Speaker 3: I'm been on their site now for twenty minutes. That
39:11
Speaker 3: makes two of us, because I always cold, and they're
39:14
Speaker 3: telling me about these boots.
39:15
Speaker 2: I didn't know. I was unfamiliar with your game.
39:18
Speaker 1: Totally unfamiliar with the lacrosse boots game, Chris and Lodi
39:21
Speaker 1: sent us a picture of his Iceman boots. Bought them
39:25
Speaker 1: years ago when Iran stores for Gander Mountain. David, Oregon,
39:30
Speaker 1: Lacrosse Iceman's are enormous. Pac boots bought mine in the
39:35
Speaker 1: early nineties and still wear them for ice fishing Derek
39:39
Speaker 1: in Whitewater. They still make him and I used to
39:42
Speaker 1: have a pair, but now I stepped up to the
39:44
Speaker 1: ice king, went from Iceman to ice king. I'm figuring
39:49
Speaker 1: out exactly which Iceman boots might be best suited for
39:53
Speaker 1: your boy, because I want to be suited and booted.
39:56
Speaker 2: I agree.
39:57
Speaker 1: And we've been talking about potentially going to hunt, going
39:59
Speaker 1: out deer hunting for a while, and by you and
40:02
Speaker 1: I going on deer hunting, it was us doing the
40:04
Speaker 1: show from someone's deer camp.
40:06
Speaker 2: That's all it was.
40:07
Speaker 1: I wasn't exit to be up on the thing, firing
40:09
Speaker 1: up the blackstone and making sure the pancakes were on
40:11
Speaker 1: the griddle when everybody came back in with more fantasy.
40:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, eating breakfast. I agree, So well, we can use
40:17
Speaker 2: some boots while we're doing it. We're gonna do it.
40:18
Speaker 2: We might as well have some Iceman boots. Well, that's
40:20
Speaker 2: our here with a day.
40:21
Speaker 1: I like that these boots are made for fishing, and
40:23
Speaker 1: that's just what they're gonna do, fishing and casting.
40:26
Speaker 2: L's all over you, Caleb Williams.
40:28
