• 0:09
  Speaker 1: after a glorious weekend with the Packers reset Packers lose
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Thursday in horrific fashion we went over it on Friday
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: and we are we'll talk about the Packers again today
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: but game balls and kicks I'll open the bidding we
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: got game balls and kicks today Armin what does a
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: game ball sound like on our program That's the perfect
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: chef's kiss. I was just going to say. Can't beat that.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Chef's kiss. Now, conversely, if someone does a bad job
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: and you want to award a kick to the balls,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: what's that sound like?
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: When it rains, it pours.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: There you have it. Two ends of the spectrum. You
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: saved that one from Thursday night. Larry McCarron on the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Packers radio network.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately, as I was producing the game and as we
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: were going through, I was writing some stuff down, notes, times.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: There was too many of those moments to save. I
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: was like, oh, that would be a good kick to
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: the balls. Oh, that would be good. Next thing I knew,
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: I had five candidates. I'm like, this is not how
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: I want this to go.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: This is not the way the game should go. Yeah, absolutely. Well,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: since you started that way, I was going to go
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: in a different direction. But since you started that way,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: a game ball. To BA Rock, Lev, Sophia, Dilly, Craig.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Well done. What a hell of a year. Their last show,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: they had a great year. Brewers TV in its first
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: season of them taking the rights away and just doing
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: it themselves with MLB, the production, chef's kiss. They were
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: already good, no matter who they've been with since the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Midwest Sports Channel days. Oh, yeah.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: MSC.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Fan duel and ballet sports. Fox Sports North, Fox Sports Wisconsin.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: They have a core of guys, and a lot of
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the camera guys that work for the Brewers are legit
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Dwayne Rodriguez, a friend of the program. Hardcore pros. He's
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: in Rio with CBS. He's like one of the lead
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: CBS guys for NFL games and stuff. So he's like
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: some of the, people don't realize how good the crew
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: is in Milwaukee. My man, Tom Dorner out there. I know. Yeah.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Tom's good. Like those guys, they're top notch. Like every
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: one of them in the truck, John Walsh, the director
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: and Brett Reland. And they, they, they're fantastic. And we
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: get spoiled because we have such good shows to watch
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and it's, it's win or lose. You're going to see
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: a good show with the Brewers TV crew. But, man,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: they're just top-notch. That was it. We don't get to
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: see them again until next season.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: I was going to say, now they will maybe do...
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: I don't think they'll do some pregame shows. I don't
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: know exactly what their contractual rights will be with MLB
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: basically owning most of it. But my game ball was
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: going to be to MLB for.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: For offering up and, well, not offering it up, but
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: having to bring those in-house and doing such a good
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: job with it around the different markets. But the real
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: game ball is the fact that Brewers TV, while the
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: $ 100 subscription for the whole season that you could get
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: to watch the Milwaukee Brewers games, you do the $ 200
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: and you watch all the games. And you watch every
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: single game. It was the first year as an MLB
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: TV subscriber that you could watch the Brewers and then
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: flip over to any single game possible. That was the
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: best summer viewing experience ever. bar none baseball-wise. That is, yeah.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: I know Sunday Ticket has its merits.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: The only reason to buy Sunday Ticket, to me, is
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: if you're a displaced fan, if you're a Packers fan
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: who lives in Jacksonville. The YouTube quad box is so nice.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: That's pretty nice. But I will say that product has
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: always been great. But the fact that you get your
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: local team along with the rest of it, there's nothing better. Like, hey,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the Brewers just won. I'm not ready for bed yet. Oh,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Diamondbacks Padres are having a good game. Boom, throw that on.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: Their big inning, their version of red zone, it gets
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: better each and every year. They do like three or
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: four nights a week, which is really, really solid. And yeah,
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: I mean, you can flip on every once in a while.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: I'll flip on the radio call if necessary. The recaps,
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: it's just a very, very good product. All the addition,
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: there weren't a ton of additions. You were hoping that
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: there just weren't going to be a ton of subtractions.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: One addition for Brewers TV, which was solid, and I
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: don't know who gets credit for it. Who's flying the drone?
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: The drone, yes. The drone's amazing. The drone is phenomenal
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: on Brewers. I remember early on it was like, are
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: they going to the drone too much? I'm like, no,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: these drone shots are sick, man. I love it. They're awesome.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Once upon a time, it really is a thing that
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: you have to think about Once upon a time, to
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: get those shots, they had to send a pilot up
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: in a plane or a blimp or maybe a chopper.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: But that was a big deal, the Miller Lite flight.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: What did they used to call the Miller Eagle? The
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Miller Eagle was the plane that got the shots and
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: obviously blimps. But now with that drone, and they were
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: getting some pretty shots.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Pretty cool. Whoever's flying it, it's added an extra thing
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: to the broadcast. I like that. The dirt cam. They've
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: done a good job. All of it. All of it.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: And you're right.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, no matter what, for fans, they'll realize sometimes.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: The channel might change, the ownership, who's operating the broadcast,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: but the people have been the same, right?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: The continuity. The continuity. And they're all really good.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: The humans behind it have been the same. They've all
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: done a really good job navigating.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: All that stuff. It's like the best group of people.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I dabbled with those guys. I was kind of a
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: pseudo-teammate of theirs 15 years ago, and they're all still there,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: like in the booth with– in the booth with Rockin' B.A., Renee,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: their floor director. She's the nicest person in the world.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: They have such a good vibe. It's a great workplace
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: they have.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: Doesn't it speak to it, Drew, the workplace they have,
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: the people there, the talent that has chosen to stay there?
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: While we've seen Jeff get a lot of different opportunities,
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: BTN and FS1-wise, I think there's a lot of other
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: opportunities that he's had, probably baseball-wise. to go to other markets,
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: bigger markets for probably different paychecks, and stayed.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Didn't have to. The only lock-in here is being here
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and enjoying it. And B.A.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: Has been here for 20 years and has probably had
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: damn near hundreds of opportunities to go and take full-time
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: gigs in other places and has chosen to stay here
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: for a lot of different reasons.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: That group, number one. It's phenomenal.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Something, I don't know if it's true, and I'm sure B.A.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: would tell us, but Something deep inside me likes to
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: think that, like, of all the great things B.A. does
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: in broadcasting, national and whatever, French Open, all the great
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: worldwide sports and a big stage, he probably feels like
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: it's really enjoyable to come home to doing his Brewers games.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I've spoken to him about that very fact
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: because he's a Texas guy and he could live literally
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: anywhere he wants. Anywhere, yes. Much like you, he's chosen
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to live here. And if you're going to be one
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: of those dudes, like Kevin Harlan for years has lived
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: in Kansas City, right? Being in the middle of the country,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: not having the cross country is a good idea if
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: you're going to be one of those guys who travels nationally. Now,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: BA is going to do the American League because that's
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: a Fox. Fox has the NL. Okay. So Burr is
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: going to be on Fox and FS1 and all that through...
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: until they get to the World Series. Brewers, we're riding
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: with Fox the whole way.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: I was going to say, so we get the Beloit
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: Buccaneer Joe Davis.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I'm down with that. Folks can say he favors the Dodgers, but,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you know, whatever. What if B.A. was doing the game?
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Would he favor the Brewers? No, they're pros. They do
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: it down the middle. They sell the moment no matter
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: what it is. I remember B.A.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: Selling that third Otani home run just enough.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: He has to be a professional. He didn't. Of course
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: he does. I don't like playing with a broadcaster. Of
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: course he does.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: You did talk about the Breen thing, the Mike Breen thing,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: how he had to kind of.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Keep it in. And he was a total pro.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: The next.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: I liked, I liked, uh, Joe Buck though, had, uh,
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: Breen and mentioned to him. He's like, Hey, make sure
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: that you do give the hat tip though.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: He goes, Nick's fan.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: Don't make, don't worry about it to the point where
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: you're underselling it. Cause for him being the 24 year
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: old Cardinals kid that was calling the world series.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Be like, Oh, don't be doing this. No doubt. No doubt. Um,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: another game ball while we're thinking of it. Cause we
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: went Brewers first game ball. Wild Bill, William Contreras, who
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: is like a glue guy and a heartbeat of the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Brewers in many ways, works with that pitching staff. What
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: he did Friday night on his ground out. Amazing. When
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: he was benched a day after being benched for not
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: running hard on a ground out. I just loved it.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: As he slides headfirst into trying to beat out a
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: routine ground ball. I almost fell out of my chair laughing.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: It was hilarious. And Murph, too, the quick shot to
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Murph going, hey, what are you doing, man? Come on,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: shaking his head. He said, that's how we communicate. That's
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: how we communicate. How do you like me now, Murph?
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Is that good enough for you? Did I hustle enough
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: for you? It was hilarious. Exactly the way it's supposed
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: to be. I mean, how great is that, you know?
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: And for... the middle of the end of the year
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: where Murph mentioned it, the crowds being able to understand
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: what was, you could hear the little bit of a
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: giggle on the TV broadcast. People were in on the joke,
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: which made it a little bit better at that point too.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Epic. How about game? These are two game balls. Okay. Okay.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: Two of two of my favorites to watch. And as
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: a 32 year old, I've watched Justin Verlander and Max
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: Scherzer pretty much my entire sports life. And they both
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: walk off the mound. Verlander for sure for the final
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: time on Saturday.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Scherzer, not sure. He said, yeah, maybe, maybe I'm done
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: I don't fully know because he did shove for seven
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: plus and he's like, well.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: Somebody's going to give me 20 million to do this again.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: Maybe I could go and find a round number and
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: get to a 20th year if I actually want to.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: But just in case, can you guys clap? Yeah, but
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: make sure let's do the celebration in case I want
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: to like the kid that goes through senior day going
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: into the NFL draft process. He's like, I don't know
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: for sure that I'm going to go might also go
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: to the transfer portal, but I'm definitely going to do
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: the senior day celebration. Um, the Verlander one was about
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: as cinematic sports moment as there has ever been as
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: AJ hinge walks out to go get them in the
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: sixth inning. And there was starting to start against the tight, uh,
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: the Pirates for the Tigers. Then waves over, gets his
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: daughter to come and get him off the mound. The
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: place goes absolutely bananas. Everybody's in tears. I dare you
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: to watch it and try not to have tears.
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: In your eyes.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Impossible. I did not expect it.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: I'm sitting there washing the dishes, letting some stuff run
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: on Twitter or YouTube or whatever it was, and all
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: of a sudden I see it, and I'm just like–
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: I was just like– For a second, I mean, it.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Was so emotional, and my knees were buckling.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: It was so amazing to see that Verlander moment with
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: his daughter coming out to surprise him on the mound,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: the way she ran out there.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: It was so cool.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: That's what makes sports great is a moment like that,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: and you just say, Justin, overcoming the motion. What a special,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: special thing to see. And, you know, if you're a parent,
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: I guess it hits different as well, and that's part
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: of it. But, yeah, I dare you, Billy, absolutely did
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: not have tears. It was very For Love of the Game-esque.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Because it was Tigers and it was a veteran. Although,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: and for love of the game, I think he finally
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: got back together with Jane and her daughter Heather afterwards.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: The perfect game. But whatever.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: That's not a big deal. We can rewrite the script
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: if we want. But that was just an awesome, awesome
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: moment to see.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: And you're right, Billy.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: If you want to feel that warm feeling in the...
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: In the hearts, that's the one to watch right there.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: It was pretty sweet.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Can I give a game ball as well to something?
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: 1-0-3. The Brewers finally doing something this weekend that I've
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: been saying.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: This is not about me, okay? This is not about me.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: This is about the guy that's going to get the
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: game ball. But I've been saying this all year. We've
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: been calling him the captain. Let's just make it official.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: And finally, the Brewers made it official, making Yelich the captain,
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: the first one in Brewers history, giving him the C
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: and an extra game ball to him. for making sure
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: they cleared it with Robin Young first. I mean, how
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: perfect is that?
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, if that's not leadership, if that's not the
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: stateliness of a captain, I don't know what else is. Finally,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: the Brewers, it was long overdue to actually issue a captain,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: official captain to somebody. I love it.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: I want to get the little C for a jersey,
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: for a yellow jersey. I hope they're selling that. Can
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: you get by the little C just to.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Slap somebody else? I'm sure they'll find a way.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: I was going to say, they're definitely going to, and
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: probably $ 7. 99, we'll slap it on the one that you've
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: already bought here.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Well-deserved, though. And I like the way the vibe's going
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Good vibes going in the playoffs. We're
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: making this official. Christian's our captain, and we're making sure
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: everyone knows it. I'm glad you mentioned the Jersey t-shirt.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Now the Jersey with the C is going to go
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: really hard.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: I want that one. That's going to look, that's going
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: to look very hockey Jersey ask the C looks cool.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: Cause it was, there's different ways that you could do it.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: But like, I think that they put it on there
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: very well. It was also what, maybe like 10 feet
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: away from a talk about cinematic moment. His first, that
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: bad coming in with the C the fly out. I mean,
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: if he puts that thing just beyond the wall, I know,
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: I'd be sprinting to the Pottawatomie Sportsbook the next moment
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: to bet him to.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Go to the World Series. That would have been a
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: pretty sick moment, too, yeah. But that was cool to see. Yeah,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: that was cool. The fact that he cleared it with Robin,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I just, I don't know, man. That's amazing to me,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: you know? Now, Robin, I did see some people saying
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: that they thought it was Paul Molitor online. That should
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: have been, or that was? He would have had to
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: clear it with Paul Molitor. No, it's Robin. Oh, that's
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: not it. Now we're going to get into it. That's
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: not it. Now we're going to get into it.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Now we're going to get into it. Who was the
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: true first Brewers leader? Who was the first true Brewers leader?
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Correct. One could argue it was Ted Simmons back in
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: the day. Ted Simmons was a very emotional heartbeat. He
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: was that guy on the 82 team. But yeah, I mean,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Robin was the MVP that year, but he was still
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: a younger player. George Scott?
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: It's Robin. It's Robin. I just wanted to see if
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I could get this. Christian Yelich's first act as a
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: member of the Brewers was to hop on Mark Adonazio's
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: plane to fly for his presser, and they picked up
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Robin Youker on the way. They stopped at Phoenix and
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: picked up Robin Youker. Hey, do you want to go
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: to the Fan Fest? I mean, yeah, sure, I guess.
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: I might as well. Sweet, I'll pick you up. Who's
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: coming with us? Oh, only the Hall of Famer Robin
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: Yowt and Yuki. Okay, sounds good. And his first series
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: was great.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: They were going to Brewers on deck. That was it.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: And I think Braun was on that flight, too.
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: Because I think they get signed, what, like the Thursday before.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: He gets traded right around the weekend that they're about to.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: And obviously the Kane thing happens the night before. So
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: that's a phenomenal, phenomenal time. Phenomenal. All right.
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: Game ball to... Well, two of them here, but first
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: one to Luke Fickle's sweatshirt. Unofficial results from when the
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: team vest was ditched after the Oregon game a year ago. Now,
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: it was mostly because of rain contingent conditions against Washington,
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: where it was an absolute washout.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: On November 8th. But.
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: Unofficial big 10 results since the hoodie has been instituted
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: on the sideline and not the T E a M
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: team vest on the back.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Badgers are three and two and big 10 plays a
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: big upgrade. And I think this is something he's holy cow.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Badgers are three and two and big 10 play since
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: the best has come on.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: And sometimes you don't know where the vibes are going
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: to come from, but clearly it wasn't from getting rid
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: of the vessel.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Stick with it. Now I do have one question.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: If we're sticking to fickles, athletic aesthetics, If you guys
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: like that, should he start wearing a hat when it rains?
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: I've seen some people talk about that. When it rains,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: he just lets the.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Rain just fall. It's wet. Keep it up or wear
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: a hat. No, no, no, no. Keep it going.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: Keep it rolling because that is as wrestling guy as possible.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: Just running as many stairs and just letting the sweat
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: drip right off of your brow. Uh, but in, in
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: all reality, the Badgers get their first big 10 road
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: victory since October of 24 yesterday with the win, uh,
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: over the Penn state Nittany lions. And the biggest game
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: ball out of all of them goes to one Colton.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: Joseph tried to potentially throw them out of the game,
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: but to be continually let it keep ripping 18 of
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: 38 is not too great. The rushing attempts though, drew, uh,
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: why he was brought in, why he was as coveted
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: in the transfer portal as he was. He ran it
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: 13 times and it wasn't necessarily always designed. There were
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: some where he was just getting up because the Penn
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: State coverage in the back end was too good and
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: the rush had flushed him out. But to run it
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: 13 times, get in the end zone for the first
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: time and make it 17-7 is gave a little bit
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: of the celebration, and you could tell that when he runs,
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: the energy on that team is palpable. Their offense could
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: have scored three to four more touchdowns. They left a
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: lot of meat on the bone, and Colton Joseph is
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: going to help them get there. But him being able
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: to put three picks to bed, you lose what? 90%
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: of the games in which you throw a pick six in,
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: probably 98% of the games that you throw a pick
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: six and then drop one yourself in the fourth quarter,
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: that would have been the game leading interception.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Badgers be able to win that football game. Huge.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: And hey, good thing what money can buy. And the
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: quarterback being able to come on in here from Old
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: Dominion paid a nice price for Colton Josephine making that
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: money count right out of the gates.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: And the fact, like I said, I mean, he's healthy.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's a luxury that batters haven't had for
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: a while to have a guy. They can rally around
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: the guy that they paid for, uh, play for them.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: So things are, you know, things are looking up.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: That's it. That's a win.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: The program needed that fickle needed with, without a doubt
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: in the worst way. Um, and now we'll see if
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: they can build on it.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: Biggest win, biggest win in the, uh, Luke fickle era
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: and the two other, uh, big time game balls. And
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: I mean, big ones to Hammond Russell, the fourth big
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: number 91 pair of big ones had a pause. Um,
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: Hammond had a sack and a half, two TFLs, a
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: PBU that led to big perk, Charles Perkins, his brother
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: getting the interception right next to him. Oh, there's days
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: that a big man can have upfront that are good.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: Not as many as good as what Hammond Russell put
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: together this weekend. That's as phenomenal a day as you
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: can have as a D tackle.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: And as long as we're handing out the Cardinal and
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: white game balls, we mentioned it before Javon Robinson. Oh,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, He had three PBUs in the game, two
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: on the last drive that were game savers. Yes. Absolutely
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: special plays with a great burst. One, he was beaten,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: and he covered a lot of ground to get there.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: He comes about 15 yards out of the screen to
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: be able to get the one. Spectacular. I think he
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: had like 10 targets and only allowed two catches. Mm-hmm.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: Senior from Orlando and another guy that, I mean, you
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: start looking at the groups that have come through here.
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: Javon Robinson, he talked to LePay before, I want to say,
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: the Western Illinois game. Guaranteed, he's the fastest guy on
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: the team. He was on the Arizona State team, though,
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: in 2024. That went to the college football playoff. He
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: deed up an individual on that Texas Longhorn team quite
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: a bit. Matthew Golden in that game quite a bit.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: He compared that day, this Badgers team, to his Sun
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: Devils from Arizona State. Said one that nobody is counting
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: into the equation, but in the end of the day,
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: you're going to have to deal with the Badgers. We're
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: going to be one of those teams that you're going
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: to have to deal with in November. First way to
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: do it is winning there in Happy Valley. And now
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: they're not creeping up on anybody. You pull off that win,
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: everybody's going to take you a little bit more seriously
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: when you roll into their park.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Get us your game balls and kicks. 877-794-1973. First half
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: of the show is flown by. Scott Dolphin will be in.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: He's riding a wave right now. We'll talk to him.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: He's feeling it. And there's a big game ball being
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: handed out when Dolph gets here, too. Big one. Big one.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio. Who do you
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: go to? I'm going to throw a touchdown. I think
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: you've got to go to Stringer again. I like it.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Or Vanami or Van Der Seek. Well, you know it's
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: going to be a jump ball here, so you want
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: to go to somebody tall.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: 17-yard line of Michigan for the win. Iowa down five.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Empty backfield. Here's the snap. Brown straight back. Throws to
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: the corner.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Of the end zone. Caught! It's caught! Touchdown, Iowa! Touchdown! Touchdown, Iowa!
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: The game is over. The Hawks have won it. The
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: game is not over.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: The ruling of a touchdown is under review.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: The game is not over. The ruling of a touchdown.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Is under review. Reese Vandersee caught the pass backing into
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: the end zone. He ran to the front pylon on
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: the far sideline, and Brown delivered a beauty.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, baby. Thanks for that, Armin. Game balls, gigs. That's
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the Iowa Hawkeyes radio network. Oh, my God. With Gary Dolphin,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: whose brother Scott joins us for halftime. What a finish
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: in Ann Arbor. Oh, my. I don't like the ref
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: editing him like that. Come on. That was.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: Priceless timing. The game is over. The game is not over.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: It's not over, son. It's not over, son. Was it
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: over when Western Michigan thought it was over? It's not
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: over in Ann Arbor until we say it's over. Was
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: it over when the Germans bought Pearl Harbor? No. Oh, man.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: Dude, and the best thing is, so I'm in here
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: doing the Wisconsin game, getting ready for the post-game show.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: And Matt and Mark are finding out about it in
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: kind of real time, probably within 20 minutes that it happened.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: They find out that the game is over and they
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: want it. And right away, LePay goes, oh, I can't
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: wait to hear old boy's call of that one. And
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: the first thing I open is the video.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: And to see.
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: He's on the binoculars. He's on the binoculars, dialed in.
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: First off, the first video, his audio is about 10
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: seconds behind the video. Makes it way funnier. Then they
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: sync it back up. Game ball to Pat Anger. Pat
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: Anger deserves a huge game ball in the moment. Now,
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: you're talking about a son of a gun that played
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: a lot for the University of Iowa.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Bentford, Iowa.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: He is a hawk true and through.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Starting linebacker for the Colts for what?
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know, six, seven years?
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: He puts his hands on Gary, and you know he
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: wants to lose his ever-loving mind.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: But he's like, I'm not going to say anything. I'm
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: not interrupting the call. I'm not breaking in.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: So good to not step on it because it was
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: phenomenal audio.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Him high-fiving, I don't know if he had the spotter
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: in the background. All of it.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: They're high-fiving, like, let's celebrate here, but not bother Gary,
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: but then do our thing.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was classic. I still don't know how they
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: won that game.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: And then you sent me just now the video of
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: the student broadcast, which is the way it should be,
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: where they're going crazy and hugging each other.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: The students are hilarious. Oh, yeah. That was funny. What
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: a highlight on Saturday. That, the Badgers winning, the Brewers
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: going 1-0-3, and then tonight we get to watch Dolph's
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: beloved Bears with the Case Keenum experience. 38 years old.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: My fondest memory of Case Keenum was the one year
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: I played college fantasy football.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Which was an awful experience. I wasn't good. But Case Keenum.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: Was my quarterback and rewrote the NCAA record books. I
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: want to say to this day, he's the only quarterback
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: to have 20,000 yards of total offense. I think he
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: had three straight 5,000-yard passing seasons for the Cougs.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: The Cougs, yes. He was unbelievable.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: He was the man for three or four years down
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: there in Houston. That's my fondest memory. And now he's
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: played for everybody three times. I think he's played for
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: the Texans three times.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: He's played for, yeah, you're right.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: Vikings, right?
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Vikings. Big year, I think.
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: Redskins back in the day. Houston, 12, 13, 14, and
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: then also reunited with Houston in 23-24. His tax guy's
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: going to have a hell of a time.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: One of the ultimate backups in the NFL because he
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: proved that he can win just enough. He can win
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: just enough to keep you in it and deliver the
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: ball and deliver the goods to get you to the
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: NFC title game and had enough people believing in Minneapolis
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: that they were going to roll into Lincoln Financial Field
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: and somehow win that NFC title game. And instead, they
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: just got absolutely pants. That's one of his best things
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: is building up that kind of fan base. He hasn't
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: played since 2023. In a game, because he was out
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: all of 24 with injury. He's with the Bears last
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: year and this year. Didn't play last year. It's going
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: to be an interesting experience.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Now, the big question to me is at 3 o'clock,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: we're going to find out if Caleb Williams goes on
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: IR and has to miss four games. Or if it's
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: grade one, what does that mean?
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: I thought for sure it was going to be four. Well,
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: maybe if you count. No, I heard four weeks, so
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: I would assume he's going on IR, right? You would
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: think they need the roster spot and that they would adjust.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: You would think, however... And Bajent's been cleared in the protocol,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: so if anything happens to Case Keenum, Tyson Bajent plays, right? Yeah.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he was a full participant at practice on Saturday,
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: but obviously not game ready against the Eagles defense.
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: Now, as much as it's been the hot topic to
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: say Caleb Williams is soft, I watched him way too
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: much at Oklahoma. and I watched him at USC, I
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: believe it was, in the Big Ten Championship game. I
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: thought somebody needed to go and pull him out for
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: his own well-being. The injury that he had in that
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: Big Ten Championship game, he just would not go out.
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: He would not leave. I actually believe they're going to
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: hold him off of IR to just give him every
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: chance because whatever emotional boost you want or feel like
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: you might need, he's going to give you that whenever
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: he comes off of IR. It comes off of the
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: bench and onto the field. And if that's three weeks,
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: it's worth going out there with 52 guys. If you
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: can get him back one week early.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, clearly he is, you know, not still a
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: line from Reggie Jackson, but he's the straw that stirs
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: that drink and their playoff hopes are probably done. If,
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: if he's going to miss more time than that. So yeah,
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: maybe it's a good idea to keep him off the aisle.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Well, as, uh, as, uh, Colin Cowherd said on, uh,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: on this airways a couple of last week when he
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: was defending, uh, the, the fist pump coming off of
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: the field. He's the hope for the whole city. The
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: whole state. It all revolves around him. He thought his
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: season was over. That's why he was so emotional. It's true.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Despite the fact both of their baseball teams made the playoffs.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, both are in, and both had tremendous celebrations. I
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: don't know anybody celebrated more than our boy Morikami, though.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, he was the best. My boy was having a
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: phenomenal time.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: And that was also, I guess, a tribute to Kawasaki,
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: the Blue Jays player in the mid-2010s. I love that,
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: but he was having a great time with his interviews
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: with Brooke Fletcher, which I enjoyed a lot. Yeah, you're
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: a big Brooke Fletcher fan. Big Brooke Fletcher fan. A
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: lot of, yeah, it was wet in there.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Morikami's fun. Oh, yeah, he's awesome. He's hilarious.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: And, yeah, I just love that whole thing. What a
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: great story they've been all year.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: The White Sox lost 223 games the last two years.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, and that makes it more impressive than anything else. Incredible. Yeah, absolutely.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: As opposed to the, and then the flip side of
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: the excitement of it, like the Phillies, right? They're barely
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: make it by the skin that we haven't given them
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: anything yet because I don't know if it's a game
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: ball or kick the balls, but like the Phillies could
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: have clinched as early as Wednesday last week and they
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: went to the final day.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: And we were all saying it's going to happen probably tomorrow,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: probably Friday. And it gave, you know what?
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: And it gave my dad a chance to once again
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: bring up the 64 Phillies. He's like, he wants to
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: talk about the great Phillies collapses all the time. So
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: that was just, that was another wild one.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: He almost had another one.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: And then you had the Rangers go down to the
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: final day.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Rangers and Astros. Which is funny because the AL West
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: is like, does anyone deserve to go?
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: All right, because I'm sick, I did have to look
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: up the Case Keenum college numbers. He is still the
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: all-time FBS Division 1A, what that used to mean, leader
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: in completions for 1,546 college completions, for 19,217 passing yards
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: all-time record, and the all-time record of 155. Passing touchdowns.
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: That's not bad. That's not a bad career there. He
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: also started 13 games as a true freshman. Yeah, and
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: that was 20 years ago. Dude has been playing football
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: for 20 straight years. 2006, I think, was his freshman year.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: And just continued to roll. He was unbelievable. He'll be
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: starting tonight for the Bears. Go figure. Go figure.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: A pair of seasons where he threw for 5,600 yards
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: and 44 touchdowns.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: He made $ 60 million in this league. Pretty good. Was
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: that Mouse Davis back then at Houston? I wonder. You
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: know better than me. I don't remember Andre Ware. That
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: might have been. Andre Ware was good. I don't know
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the rest of these guys. I've lost the plot on that.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Houston football. That's just wild. Pretty amazing stuff there. So, Dolph,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: how about them Brewers? 103, man.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: You know, the amazing thing was, think about where they
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: were in early to mid-May, and we're like, okay.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: 13 and 13.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, just kind of middling. And then, you know,
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: we said, well, they're going to get some bodies back.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: That's going to help. And then all of a sudden,
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: this pitching staff just took over.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Now, it was great. I think it was Dom Catronio
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: did an exercise walking around the clubhouse asking everybody, what
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: was your favorite game of the season? Really cool, yes.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: And it's like, there were so many answers. Like, Miz's
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: complete game, shutout. Against the Phillies. I was there that night.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: The Cubs game from a couple weeks ago, the comeback,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: the walk-off.
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: One that I left early in the beginning of the year,
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: I think it was the first home series of the
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: year against the White Sox, where they were.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Down five or six. The Yelich three-run shot to flip
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: the scoreboard. That kind of set a tone. And then
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: there was the Terang walk-off against the Yankees. Was that
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: on Mother's Day? Mother's Day. That whole series was impressive.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: That whole series. They swept the Yankees. Swept the Yankees.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: But to me, and just one man's opinion, to me,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: it's the Friday night in San Francisco.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: LA.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: They'd just been swept by the Padres, and it was
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: looking bleak, and then they came off the mat and
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: came back and beat LA, and then ended up winning
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: that series.
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: I was going to say Thursday night, because it was
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: the first game of that series.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: It was the first game of that series, and wasn't
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: it also the Packers' first exhibition game?
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: Packers' first preseason game, and we had a two-hour and
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: 45-minute postgame show, so we ended up getting to watch
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: the entire thing.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: We had to see it unfold, and it was like,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: that was the comeback. That's right. They won three out
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: of four. Otherwise, we both would have missed the entire thing.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: They won on Thursday and Sunday. And those were the
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: bookends like that series that told you, I was like, Oh,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: cause the Padres thing is like, Oh, they got boat raced.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: It was awful. And it's like state fair.
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: And I don't know if it's just that it's the
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: most communal experience outside of summer fest, maybe more now
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: because it is the 11 day in a row. But drew,
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: I watched that, that, uh, Wednesday's Padres game, uh, at
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: state fair, kind of wandering through. Man, the collective moans
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: and groans when they lost. I think they lose in
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: like 11 innings that day. It was an extra inning game,
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: and everybody's watching it, Dolph, at the worst bar and
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: camp bar throughout, and everybody floods out really disappointedly. So
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: it felt like there were many people that believed they
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: were going to lose the division. Well, I think a
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: lot of us did because the fact that now you've
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: got to go to L.A. to take on the bad
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: old Dodgers, and the Cubs were gaining, right, at that
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: point in the season?
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: It was in a three, something like that, yeah. So, yeah,
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: to go into L.A. and take three out of four,
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: and they haven't lost that momentum since. How many series
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: have they won in a row to end the season?
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a good question. The Padres was the last
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: series they lost, wasn't it? I think they lost another one.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Did they lose one other one?
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: Am I wrong?
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: I think they did, but I could be wrong. Yeah,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: I think so. Out east, maybe. Lost the Reds series
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: in September, so September 7th. Okay, that's what it was.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: It's just amazing. But the role that they've been on
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: has been unbelievable. Oh, and we did. We gave Contreras
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: a game ball for his head first slide. His response
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: to being pulled for not hustling out a ground ball.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: First at bat, routine ground ball, slides head first. I
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: love it. But that day, he's got such big huevos.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: The challenge, he hit like five in a row on
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: the challenges on the tap, and one of them was
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: to end an inning, and he was in the dugout
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: by the time the thing... It was unbelievable. That was
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: so baller. So nasty when he walked off. That was
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: sort of like.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: This is a deep reference for somebody, but that the
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: three point shootout in 88, that was Larry's third one.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: He walked off during the final shot with the finger
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: up in the air and he knew it was guy.
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: No, it's, it's a deep reference. I guess it's not
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: a deep reference. It's only 38 years old. What are
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: you talking about? When he was walking off and it
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: was also close. I mean, that was barely in the zone.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: I mean, the way he walked off, I mean, that
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: was nasty. You know, you gotta love having a guy
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: with that kind of aura and swagger.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Who won the slam dunk
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: that year, Armand? Do you remember? Well, I think it
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: was probably Jordan. Probably Jordan. Because he was in Chicago.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Or Neek. It was Jordan. That was the Jordan Neek one.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: That was the big one, right? That was the one,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: the dunk from the foul line. That was.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: But everyone thought they cooked the score on Neek's second
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: dunk or third dunk because of it being in Chicago.
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: Whatever.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Do you have the tape of that one? I've got
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: not that actual. Yes.
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: Well, here.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: I don't have the tape of that contest. I have the.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: All-Star Saturday night.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: I've got the tape of the Foot Locker NBA All-Star
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: Action special that I got for free for buying a
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: Bucks or a Hornets at Foot Locker.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: I remember I was talking about it.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: I was like, look, if I get a hat, they're
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: giving away this free VHS of, it was called NBA
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: All-Star Action, the greatest players and plays. I'm like, this
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: is a good deal, mom. I can get the hat
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: and the tape. Back then it was like 20 bucks,
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: you know?
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. You did a good job selling that one, huh?
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: No, it was a Hornets hat, I think, because everyone
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: had a Hornets gear in the 90s. But don't worry,
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: the bucks were my team.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Teal was all the rage in 1988. Teal and purple.
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: Huge.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: I remember when the San Jose Sharks became a thing.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: People were losing their minds over that jersey just because
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: of the teal.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: Pretty much every uniform change or expansion team in the
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: 90s had teal or purple at some point.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: The Jags, absolutely. Marlins, they were huge with the teal.
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: Rockies had the purple.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Everybody fired it in. The Ducks had the purple and
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: the teal.
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: 12 of 13 series victoriously started with that Dodgers.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: 12 of 13. You can't be playing any better than
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: they are. You can't have it set up any better
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: than they do.
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: As we said, Drew, there might not be a numerical
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: value to winning 100 games into the playoffs, but they've
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: only done everything you can, and there's no negative vibes
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: rolling in here like a Woody press conference telling you
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: that he's going to get shut down on Tuesday.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: There's no box unchecked. Now, will they win the World Series?
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: It does feel like this could be the year, but
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: it's such a... Random crapshoot in baseball.
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you, I sure as hell hope so, because
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: every single time I'm at the Pottawatomie Sportsbook for our
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: Thursday night huddles, it feels like I can't walk out
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: of there without another Brewers to win the World Series ticket.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: If they don't, I'm going to be in trouble.
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: We'll be there Saturday and Sunday looking forward to the
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: first two games anyway. And if you're the Cubs, you're thinking,
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: if you're a Cub fan, you're like, ah, damn it.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: Got to go to San Diego. Nine o'clock starts every
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: single night.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: On Peacock. On Peacock. Is there a Peacock? Yeah. Wow.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: How about that? Oh, my goodness. How about that?
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: Man, Mikey Ballgame somewhere is losing his mind with a
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: nine o'clock start.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Is that better than your two o'clock start?
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: Well, they still have a one o'clock start there in
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: the Braves and Phillies, but I'd rather have one o'clock
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: than nine.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: That's for sure. So what time are the Brewers playing Saturday?
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: Uh, I'm guessing it's the afternoon, late afternoon, because you're
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: looking at the Yankees or Red Sox, whoever wins, that's
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: going to Tampa.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: It's a Dodgers. Um, You know, the Dodgers. Dodgers, Braves, Wood, Phillies.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: So that one might go in there. They're definitely not
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: putting them in the late night game, right? It's going
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: to be Dodgers, I would assume. Well, I mean, unless
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: it's Padres and Brewers. I don't know. So there's four
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: games that day. There's four games on Saturday. If it's Padres, Brewers,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: they got a shot to be late.
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: They got a shot to be later. There's a hot
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: rumor out there that it's going to be AL, AL, NL, NL.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: One post-game show host is really hoping that's the case
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: because then everybody can enjoy the celebration after the Badgers
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: beat Sparty on Saturday.
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: Also, the Brewers game, I don't want to put the
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: cart ahead of the horse, but if they win, go
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: to the NLCS. There's only two games that day, and
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: that's the same day the Bears play the Packers, so
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: we're hoping for an evening game on the.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: 11th of October.
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and we were really hoping for that to be
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: the meeting of what are you actually going to do
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: in the household? Brewers and Cubs, game one of the NLCS,
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: if the bracket would have fallen right.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: And then Bears-Packers. Oh, what a day. That's what I
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: was rooting for. Got thwarted, but nonetheless. Well, Dolph, good
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: luck with your third-string quarterback tonight against the Eagles. I
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: don't have high hopes, but hopefully they keep it close.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Keep it close. That's what you hope for. Thanks, Dolph.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it. We're going to continue taking your game balls
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: and kicks of the balls here in the huddle. Fox

• 37:16
  Speaker 1: crazy to think of. Which means it's the perfect time.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: October 1st. People don't really think of it. You think
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: of New Year's resolution stuff. Start a New Year's resolution early.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: October 1st gives you the three months until New Year's.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: You can be in shape by New Year's. You could
• 37:28

• 37:37
  Speaker 1: What do they say?
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: Three weeks it takes for something to build a habit
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: to come on in? So then you triple it up,
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: and then you're fully into it by the time– All
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: of those slackers come in on January 1st.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Exactly. You know everything you're doing. You're rolling. So it's like, yeah,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: seize the last quarter of the year. The fourth quarter
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: is the most important, October, November, December. Now, it's laden
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: with pitfalls because of Thanksgiving, Halloween candy, and of course Christmas.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: But if you get started, then you're not behind the
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: eight ball.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: So use these three months. Yeah, you start early to
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: maintain and.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Set your base.
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: It also then gives you a little bit, you can
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: feel a little bit better about that third Christmas cookie
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: when you.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Know you're doing it. You know you're doing something.
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: Lord knows I'm going for those peanut butter ones with
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: the Hershey's case in the middle. Those things get absolutely deleted.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: What do they call those?
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: There's a name for them. I can never remember what
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: they're called. I just call it the kiss cookie.
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: I've also seen some people really devilish throw the peanut
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: butter cup in the middle of there.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: I've heard peanut butter, peanut blossom, peanut butter blossom. Oh,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: I like that. Okay. Yeah, for sure. That's right. I'm
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: down with all of them.
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: And I do appreciate the fact that the Halloween candy
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: keeps coming out earlier and earlier because then it just
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: is better opportunity to eat the full bag before you
