- 2:23Speaker 3: I love that love.
- 2:24Speaker 6: Speaking of the Brewers, they beat the Reds last evening.
- 2:28Speaker 6: It was a seven to two victory. As predicted here,
- 2:32Speaker 6: they were going to put up a touchdown. Well done,
- 2:34Speaker 6: drew on that prediction. It turned out to be right.
- 2:36Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, they put up a crooked number with the
- 2:39Speaker 5: benefit of a little bit of fortune in terms of
- 2:42Speaker 5: the batting average on balls and play category of the
- 2:46Speaker 5: tertiary analytics. You might enjoy if you're a statner datahead.
- 2:50Speaker 5: They got a lot of soft hit singles in that
- 2:53Speaker 5: fourth inning. But hey, baseball is a way of doing this,
- 2:56Speaker 5: evening it out because the Brewers have hit into some
- 2:59Speaker 5: really bad luckily in my opinion, some hard hit balls around,
- 3:02Speaker 5: so they were due for a few breaks, a few
- 3:05Speaker 5: duck farts, and they got the.
- 3:06Speaker 6: Brandon's brot pitched well. Little stat nuggets for you, here's
- 3:13Speaker 6: one from our own David gasper Well.
- 3:15Speaker 5: I love that.
- 3:15Speaker 6: What's up, Dave, Brewers have a twenty and sixteen record
- 3:20Speaker 6: in games when the opponents score first.
- 3:23Speaker 5: Now, that's a sign of a good team, isn't it true?
- 3:25Speaker 3: I think so.
- 3:25Speaker 5: When you have a winning record, when you have the
- 3:28Speaker 5: when you are trailing in a game, that's a sign
- 3:30Speaker 5: of a good team.
- 3:31Speaker 6: They are the only team in baseball with a winning record.
- 3:34Speaker 6: That's pretty when the opponents scores first. Score in the
- 3:36Speaker 6: first round of baseball. You know, it's a long game
- 3:38Speaker 6: and stuff. It might not seem like a big deal,
- 3:40Speaker 6: but it is a harbinger of success. You score first,
- 3:43Speaker 6: you often win the game more often than not. And
- 3:45Speaker 6: yet the Brewers are beating the odds there?
- 3:47Speaker 5: Does that also mean Drew that that's Is that a
- 3:50Speaker 5: worrisome trend?
- 3:51Speaker 3: Though?
- 3:52Speaker 5: I guess it's not. I mean, I'm not sure that
- 3:54Speaker 5: would continue. How often can that happen, keeping a record
- 3:58Speaker 5: like that when you're trailing in a game, Although I
- 4:00Speaker 5: honestly haven't looked much to see if there's there are
- 4:03Speaker 5: teams beating that outlier every year. Yeah, the Brewers are
- 4:06Speaker 5: one of those teams.
- 4:06Speaker 3: That's great.
- 4:08Speaker 6: Brewers are five and oh against the Reds this season.
- 4:10Speaker 6: They finished the month of June with a seventeen to
- 4:13Speaker 6: ten record. Again, put up months like that, you're in
- 4:16Speaker 6: good shape.
- 4:17Speaker 5: Well, I guess it's a reminder that we can't really
- 4:19Speaker 5: expect a pace like this to necessarily continue. Right, fifty
- 4:24Speaker 5: two and thirty one is the record. Yep, so fifty
- 4:28Speaker 5: two wins, so you know you're basically in one hundred
- 4:30Speaker 5: and one win pace. I don't do the math, but
- 4:33Speaker 5: it's pretty impressive right now, what they're doing. And just
- 4:38Speaker 5: like last year when they won their crazy run, you
- 4:40Speaker 5: have to be realistic and say, all right, well, this
- 4:42Speaker 5: pace probably won't continue throughout the whole season unless they
- 4:46Speaker 5: do when they have the first hundred win season in
- 4:48Speaker 5: Brewers history. I suppose, I suppose, but you have to
- 4:51Speaker 5: be realistic about it, right and say, Okay, they might
- 4:53Speaker 5: be there might be hiccups here and there. There might
- 4:55Speaker 5: be some tough stretch absolutely, and you're just not gonna like, yeah,
- 4:58Speaker 5: they're on pace for one hundred and one and a
- 5:00Speaker 5: half wins, so you're not just gonna like, you know,
- 5:03Speaker 5: freaking up, there isn't one. But that hearkens back to
- 5:05Speaker 5: what you were saying the first segment. It's like that
- 5:07Speaker 5: everything will not and cannot be perfect all the time.
- 5:10Speaker 5: So to nitpick and say, well, Yelich is scuffling right now,
- 5:14Speaker 5: it's kind of kind of productive.
- 5:15Speaker 6: Selfreelck was scuffling for much of the season and we
- 5:18Speaker 6: were pointing it out, like he was kind of flying
- 5:19Speaker 6: under the radar and people were focused on the left
- 5:21Speaker 6: side of the infield and right field when he was
- 5:23Speaker 6: holding it down was a sinkhole. He hit uh three,
- 5:27Speaker 6: like three fifty in the month of June. I think
- 5:29Speaker 6: he's coming around. Had three hits last night for the
- 5:31Speaker 6: first time in a year. Yeah, again, regression perhaps, Like
- 5:37Speaker 6: it's like you just figured he was gonna but they'd
- 5:40Speaker 6: stuck with him, and now the ugliness it's focused on
- 5:43Speaker 6: Yelich because he's struggling really bad and he's the leadoff hitter.
- 5:46Speaker 6: It's like, well, we won, but Yellows was all for four.
- 5:48Speaker 6: They got to get him out of the leadoff spot.
- 5:49Speaker 5: Do they well? And you know Yelich was gonna be
- 5:52Speaker 5: good at some point of course, so that's the thing.
- 5:54Speaker 5: Why make the change and you're winning games?
- 5:57Speaker 6: Yeah, it was quite a It was a Brewer's to
- 6:00Speaker 6: the bottom of the fourth, you know. It was just
- 6:02Speaker 6: like single, single, single single, you know, single, Yeah, but
- 6:08Speaker 6: walk single like that's a small market rally, right.
- 6:12Speaker 5: Small market rally, and the brewis a specialize in that
- 6:14Speaker 5: now for a few years to the point where it's like,
- 6:17Speaker 5: all right, that's what we do and you gotta love it.
- 6:19Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 6:20Speaker 6: There was a time when the Brewers couldn't lose to
- 6:22Speaker 6: the Pirates, and then it kind of flipped where they
- 6:25Speaker 6: struggled against the s Pirates, but they there was a
- 6:27Speaker 6: couple of years where the Brewers just absolutely dominated the Pirates,
- 6:32Speaker 6: and now the Reds are in that boat. Brewers are
- 6:34Speaker 6: five to zero against the Reds this season. In their
- 6:37Speaker 6: last sixty nine games dating back to the start of
- 6:40Speaker 6: the twenty twenty one season, the Brewers are fifty and
- 6:43Speaker 6: nineteen against Cincinnati.
- 6:45Speaker 5: That's dominant. You love to see.
- 6:46Speaker 3: That is absolute open a can of whoop pass.
- 6:51Speaker 5: Well, it almost makes you wish we had the old
- 6:53Speaker 5: divisional schedule where we could see them more. But I mean, what.
- 6:56Speaker 6: Would the Brewers record be if they did that? But
- 6:58Speaker 6: then again, you'd be sacrificed in games against the American League.
- 7:01Speaker 5: Which sucks right now, terrible, And in a lot of ways,
- 7:04Speaker 5: this is gonna help some American League team in a
- 7:07Speaker 5: couple of months that's been hovering around five hundred. It
- 7:09Speaker 5: has one good week and that could get into a
- 7:11Speaker 5: wildcard at eighty three eighty four wins, You're gonna probably
- 7:15Speaker 5: see that in the American League. So it is funny
- 7:16Speaker 5: how that's worked and how the increased interleague play games
- 7:21Speaker 5: have swung the balance of wins and losses in the
- 7:24Speaker 5: American League to the National League, when previously it was
- 7:27Speaker 5: basically a fix something, a zero sum thing, the same
- 7:30Speaker 5: amount of wins and losses in each ly but not anymore.
- 7:32Speaker 5: So pretty interesting. Murph need Dan and Westman. Murph needs
- 7:37Speaker 5: to tell Sally he's only allowed to hit the baseball
- 7:39Speaker 5: to the opposite field from now on. It does definitely
- 7:42Speaker 5: seem like we're seeing the sal Free lick. That is
- 7:45Speaker 5: more like the sal Free lick that we've come to
- 7:47Speaker 5: accustom to. You wouldn't say punching Judy hitter, but he's
- 7:51Speaker 5: slapping an opposite field drew a lot. Now he's waiting back.
- 7:55Speaker 5: He's not he's not on his keyser in his knees
- 7:58Speaker 5: every time he swings. This is the salfreel like we've
- 8:01Speaker 5: come accrost him to to see. He's been better nine
- 8:04Speaker 5: of his last eighteen.
- 8:06Speaker 3: That's pretty good, pretty good, pretty good? All right?
- 8:09Speaker 6: Eight seven seven seven nine. We're going to fire up
- 8:11Speaker 6: the hot Teke hump Day machine momentarily, but first, Hunter
- 8:14Speaker 6: Bombgart has an exclusive interview for US had a baby
- 8:18Speaker 6: Hunter with Brewers starting pitcher Shane dron who's pitching today?
- 8:21Speaker 3: Is the brus try to win the series?
- 8:24Speaker 6: Like I said, it seems like most the most four
- 8:28Speaker 6: game series they often end in Split's hard to win
- 8:30Speaker 6: a four game series.
- 8:31Speaker 5: Take three of that four, but it's good if you
- 8:32Speaker 5: win the first too. That's a good recipe.
- 8:34Speaker 6: Forty percent of them end up in draws. But in
- 8:37Speaker 6: this case, however, Brers have an opportunity. So let's take
- 8:41Speaker 6: a listen to Hunter Bombgart's interview with bru's starting pitcher today,
- 8:45Speaker 6: Shane Drownt.
- 8:47Speaker 2: Shane, first question for you have five starts here in June,
- 8:50Speaker 2: just how has the routine gotten a little bit more
- 8:53Speaker 2: normal rather than coming out of the pen here over
- 8:55Speaker 2: the last month. How do you feel now compared to
- 8:57Speaker 2: what you did if to start June?
- 9:00Speaker 3: I feel good.
- 9:01Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely a lot more structure to it. You know,
- 9:05Speaker 7: you really just have you know, the four or five
- 9:08Speaker 7: or six days in between each start mapped out, as
- 9:12Speaker 7: opposed to in the pen, where it's kind of just like,
- 9:16Speaker 7: you know, whenever they call down.
- 9:19Speaker 3: So, yeah, it's been good.
- 9:20Speaker 2: When you came into this and you're you're obviously you're
- 9:24Speaker 2: you're ready to be a starter, You're in you're.
- 9:27Speaker 3: In that relief role.
- 9:29Speaker 2: How does the mentality change when you're like, Okay, now
- 9:31Speaker 2: I've got a couple starts under my belt.
- 9:33Speaker 3: Now I kind of.
- 9:34Speaker 2: Does do you have to kind of think of yourself
- 9:35Speaker 2: as a starter then or how does your mentality go
- 9:38Speaker 2: with that?
- 9:40Speaker 3: Not?
- 9:41Speaker 7: Not as much as I might have originally expected. I think, like,
- 9:47Speaker 7: especially for what my role was kind of in the bullpen,
- 9:50Speaker 7: where it was more of that longer relief, it was,
- 9:52Speaker 7: you know, pretty similar to starting. But yeah, I honestly
- 9:57Speaker 7: just tried to really just keep the same mindset.
- 10:00Speaker 3: I felt like I was.
- 10:00Speaker 7: Throwing really well out of the pen and attacking the
- 10:03Speaker 7: lineups really well, so I kind of just wanted to
- 10:05Speaker 7: carry that into a starter role and just just throw more.
- 10:09Speaker 7: That's that's pretty much how I looked at it. It was
- 10:11Speaker 7: like I'm just gonna throw more.
- 10:12Speaker 2: How have you felt that attacking like you did in
- 10:16Speaker 2: the Bullpen has went as a starter so.
- 10:18Speaker 7: Far, Okay, I think I think it could be better.
- 10:23Speaker 7: I think there's there's some areas where you know, I
- 10:25Speaker 7: could do better. I feel like, you know, putting guys away.
- 10:29Speaker 7: I haven't been as good the past, you know, a
- 10:32Speaker 7: couple outings. I feel like that's more of kind of
- 10:35Speaker 7: just like a mentality thing as opposed to like stuff,
- 10:41Speaker 7: you know, when you're starting, the opposing lineup really does have,
- 10:46Speaker 7: you know, kind of like hours to prepare for you
- 10:48Speaker 7: and your stuff. So I feel like I might have
- 10:52Speaker 7: just been pressing a little too much with two strikes,
- 10:54Speaker 7: which trying to be a little too perfect with pitches,
- 10:57Speaker 7: and you know, you look up and then it's two,
- 10:59Speaker 7: two or three too. So kind of just getting back
- 11:02Speaker 7: to just like throw your best pitch in the moment.
- 11:06Speaker 2: You know, because the opposing lineup has, like you said,
- 11:10Speaker 2: more time to prepare for you, does that change your
- 11:13Speaker 2: preparation at all? Or has that kind of stayed the
- 11:15Speaker 2: same as far as how you prepare.
- 11:18Speaker 3: It's kind of stayed the same.
- 11:19Speaker 7: I would say, you know, I sat in the meetings
- 11:22Speaker 7: that we'd have with the Bullpen at the beginning of
- 11:24Speaker 7: each series, and then you know now starting where you
- 11:28Speaker 7: have your meeting before you're outing, you know, relatively the same.
- 11:33Speaker 7: You know, you can't really think about changing too much.
- 11:36Speaker 7: You know, it's still the same game. But yeah, it's
- 11:40Speaker 7: it's you know, same kind of meetings. You know, you know,
- 11:43Speaker 7: attack these guys in throw it down on the dirt
- 11:46Speaker 7: with two strikes, elevate with two strikes, kind of the
- 11:48Speaker 7: same deal. It's just it's more about just like controlling
- 11:53Speaker 7: the game a lot more. I think as a starter
- 11:54Speaker 7: versus a reliever. Obviously I paid attention to like the
- 11:59Speaker 7: running game, it's stuff of opposing teams, But I feel
- 12:01Speaker 7: like as a starter that matters much more when you're
- 12:04Speaker 7: trying to get you know, deep into games and stuff.
- 12:07Speaker 7: You know, you got a guy on first, you really
- 12:09Speaker 7: do not want him to go to second. You don't
- 12:10Speaker 7: want to give up a bag, and you know, kind
- 12:13Speaker 7: of get lazy and they swipe a bag and then
- 12:15Speaker 7: you're out of a double play and then you kind
- 12:17Speaker 7: of get a blue pit and that's a run. So
- 12:20Speaker 7: it's just like those little things that kind of add
- 12:21Speaker 7: up just to help the seam.
- 12:24Speaker 2: One halfway through the season, how has your relationship with
- 12:28Speaker 2: your catchers controversts and sant just grown from the beginning
- 12:30Speaker 2: of the year till now.
- 12:32Speaker 7: Great. I feel like, yeah, when I first came in,
- 12:34Speaker 7: they were didn't really know me. I felt like they've
- 12:38Speaker 7: done an amazing job of kind of just really helping
- 12:42Speaker 7: me throughout the outings and then just like learning, you know,
- 12:45Speaker 7: on the fly with me. I'm, you know, a little
- 12:49Speaker 7: bit more quiet than most guys. So I feel like
- 12:52Speaker 7: William and Gary have done a good job of like
- 12:55Speaker 7: kind of like learning how I like to pitch, and
- 12:57Speaker 7: then just sequencing stuff and getting through the addings.
- 13:01Speaker 2: Yeah, how much is that kind of a team atmosphere
- 13:03Speaker 2: between you and the catcher every time out? You know
- 13:06Speaker 2: a lot of people I'm sure to think of starting
- 13:07Speaker 2: pitcher as you're going out in your throwing, but I'm
- 13:09Speaker 2: sure it's a lot of that teamwork between you two
- 13:12Speaker 2: is so so crucial to each start.
- 13:14Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, you know, the communication there is huge. I think,
- 13:20Speaker 7: you know, just as the season progressed too, like there's
- 13:22Speaker 7: things that pop up, like, you know, some days a
- 13:25Speaker 7: certain pitch I might not be feeling that well with,
- 13:28Speaker 7: but it's looking good, you know, from from William or
- 13:31Speaker 7: Gary's perspective, So it's also just trusting them, you know,
- 13:36Speaker 7: I kind of I really like to trust my catchers
- 13:38Speaker 7: and trust their eyes and like what they're seeing. So
- 13:41Speaker 7: there's times where, you know, there was days where I wasn't,
- 13:44Speaker 7: you know, really maybe feeling my curve well out that well,
- 13:47Speaker 7: but they were like, no, it looks good, we got
- 13:48Speaker 7: to throw it.
- 13:49Speaker 3: So it's just things like that.
- 13:51Speaker 2: Absolutely, Shane really appreciated the time.
- 13:52Speaker 3: Thanks so much, No problem anytime.
- 13:55Speaker 6: Our hunter bomgart with Bruce Lefty Shane Row and starting
- 13:58Speaker 6: tonight against the reds Uh.
- 14:00Speaker 3: I bet the Red Sox would like to have that
- 14:02Speaker 3: kid back.
- 14:03Speaker 5: Oh gosh, yeah, I would imagine him plus some others.
- 14:07Speaker 6: He enters tonight with three and two record three point
- 14:09Speaker 6: one two ERA. This will be his seventh start in seventeenth.
- 14:12Speaker 6: Overall appearance being consistent, done really well.
- 14:15Speaker 3: Uh.
- 14:15Speaker 5: Kind of one of the guys you forget about because
- 14:17Speaker 5: of the accitement of some of the other guys in
- 14:18Speaker 5: the staff. But he's been awesome. He's very soft spoken guy,
- 14:21Speaker 5: but still waters run deep there. I think simply insightful stuff.
- 14:24Speaker 5: While his relationship with the catchers, how they've learned to
- 14:27Speaker 5: sequence him, things like that, you know that that's the
- 14:30Speaker 5: nuances of the game that a lot of people don't
- 14:32Speaker 5: think about. Drew, like, how's he how's the guy thrown today?
- 14:35Speaker 5: You know, is he getting us strikeouts? But how their
- 14:37Speaker 5: relationship is with the catcher, how they're set up well
- 14:40Speaker 5: for success by the organization, by the team, by the coaches,
- 14:43Speaker 5: by the catchers, by the program.
- 14:45Speaker 3: Right, h is it is?
- 14:48Speaker 5: I think something we forget about his fans sometimes. But
- 14:51Speaker 5: in insightful stuff.
- 14:52Speaker 6: There all right talking text lines open for you eight
- 14:55Speaker 6: seven seven seven nine four three take head hot take
- 14:59Speaker 6: ump to headquarter is the Nikola a Lottak. I'm talking
- 15:01Speaker 6: text line, So get us your hot takes. Steve hit
- 15:05Speaker 6: us up earlier and said it was really nice not
- 15:06Speaker 6: having to sweat through that game last night, at least
- 15:08Speaker 6: not worrying about it. They did a great A little
- 15:10Speaker 6: worried about Sproute, but he came around and got a
- 15:13Speaker 6: good chunk of that game.
- 15:14Speaker 3: Nice offensive last night, Nice offense last night for the Brewers.
- 15:18Speaker 5: Yeah, nice night, have a close one, although you definitely
- 15:20Speaker 5: sweated through it if you're if you're out, yeah, last
- 15:23Speaker 5: night for sure. But yeah, I get his point. Pretty
- 15:25Speaker 5: ironic though that he would say like that but yeah,
- 15:27Speaker 5: it was nice to get it as you predicted, Drew
- 15:29Speaker 5: the crooked number, and to uh to get the win
- 15:32Speaker 5: comfortably as well. Oh we've got a hot take from
- 15:35Speaker 5: seven to one to five. You want to hear it, Drew? Yes,
- 15:37Speaker 5: Actually I feel that you were talking about the UW
- 15:39Speaker 5: hiring or.
- 15:41Speaker 3: Or reported hiring of Shawn, I course, the new aide
- 15:45Speaker 3: for a new ad and you talked about how they
- 15:48Speaker 3: don't have a chancellor yet.
- 15:49Speaker 5: He says, I feel that you a W is doing
- 15:50Speaker 5: the hiring ass backwards. Should be the president, the chancellor
- 15:53Speaker 5: and then the a d like when Wiley, Ward and
- 15:55Speaker 5: Schialala were there with Barry, so they can form a
- 15:58Speaker 5: vision mission statement and for both EDE education and athletics
- 16:01Speaker 5: they work co easily together and took the W from
- 16:03Speaker 5: sucking to a top tier school. Okay, in ideal terms, yes,
- 16:07Speaker 5: maybe that'd be it, But Drew has uh what hasn't
- 16:10Speaker 5: changed in college athletics for in the thirty five years
- 16:14Speaker 5: since those three were involved? Yes, I mean the shared
- 16:17Speaker 5: vision education athletics. It's very it's a whole, it's very idealistic.
- 16:22Speaker 5: But this is not that era, isn't it.
- 16:24Speaker 3: It's it's a whole new landscape over there. It's a
- 16:27Speaker 3: whole new DELI. Oh yeah it is.
- 16:30Speaker 6: Uh, it's not the same universe.
- 16:33Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 16:33Speaker 7: No.
- 16:34Speaker 5: And you you know, the point there is well taken
- 16:38Speaker 5: about hiring a chancellor and hiring assistant president. But you
- 16:41Speaker 5: also don't want to get too far behind hiring an ad
- 16:43Speaker 5: because you have to have someone leading the program, and
- 16:45Speaker 5: you don't want to fall too far behind in the
- 16:47Speaker 5: fundraising with all the things going on at such a
- 16:50Speaker 5: crucial time at UW Athletics. Yeah, you know, you don't
- 16:53Speaker 5: want to fall behind with that.
- 16:54Speaker 6: Yeah, and again you can pan the higher if you
- 16:56Speaker 6: if you want, But like I just can you just
- 16:58Speaker 6: let it breathe and let it actually you know, let.
- 17:01Speaker 3: It actually develop a little bit. I think that'd be good.
- 17:03Speaker 6: So get us your hot takes eight seven seven seven
- 17:05Speaker 6: nine four seven three are pal Adobe Maxwell's joined the party.
- 17:08Speaker 3: Did you get your walk in already? I got my
- 17:10Speaker 3: walk in? Got up at three am. No one else
- 17:12Speaker 3: going to be on the show. God, three am, three am,
- 17:15Speaker 3: ten thousand steps an hour before we get up.
- 17:18Speaker 5: Amazing work, especially in this heat. Unless you did it indoors,
- 17:20Speaker 5: which have been a smort.
- 17:21Speaker 3: No, I did it outdoors with the swamp. Uh. Yeah,
- 17:25Speaker 3: I don't want to swamp booty. Yeah, swamp boody.
- 17:27Speaker 6: You didn't go to your twenty four hour store, just
- 17:29Speaker 6: walk around at the admer Usually I do that.
- 17:32Speaker 3: Kind of thing, but they I knew I was going
- 17:33Speaker 3: to so I took my annual shower. I'm scrubbed.
- 17:35Speaker 6: He's ready to rock, oct cocked, ready to rock, ready
- 17:38Speaker 6: to go on hot tech Humpday. That's amazing. Well, we
- 17:40Speaker 6: welcome Adobe Max. Always good to see. It's good to
- 17:42Speaker 6: be here. We just heard you're probably listening on the
- 17:44Speaker 6: way up. We heard Hunter's interview with Shane Shane Joran
- 17:47Speaker 6: his Brewers Report. It's all brought to us by import Minded,
- 17:49Speaker 6: your trusted source for vehicle care. Twenty seventh Street, just
- 17:52Speaker 6: north of eight ninety four. All right, hot take hump day.
- 17:54Speaker 6: Hot tags can be about sports, they can be about food.
- 17:56Speaker 6: They can be about fireworks on fourth of July. They
- 17:59Speaker 6: can be about music, art, culture, anything. We're not limiting anything.
- 18:04Speaker 3: And here's a.
- 18:05Speaker 6: Hot take for you. Dave Roberts, manager of the Dodgers.
- 18:09Speaker 6: They're expected to win. They're like us steel. He's a
- 18:14Speaker 6: damn good manager and he's going into the Hall of
- 18:16Speaker 6: Fame for as a manager. He just he won his
- 18:19Speaker 6: one thousandth game last night, the fastest manager to get
- 18:23Speaker 6: to a thousand victories in history. And you can say, well, well,
- 18:26Speaker 6: of course anybody can measure that talent that roster. All
- 18:29Speaker 6: you gotta do is show up. It ain't that easy.
- 18:32Speaker 6: Dave Roberts is underregarded. He was a Manager of the
- 18:36Speaker 6: Year once in twenty sixteen. He's won three World Series
- 18:40Speaker 6: championships with the Dodgers, and now he's got a thousand wins.
- 18:43Speaker 6: He's going in the Hall of Fame like already, he
- 18:45Speaker 6: could retire today and be in the Hall of Fame
- 18:47Speaker 6: based on what he's done.
- 18:48Speaker 5: And he's been in more World Series too, And it's like.
- 18:50Speaker 6: As a player, he was known for a stolen base
- 18:52Speaker 6: in a big series for the Red Sox that turned
- 18:54Speaker 6: the series around against the Yankees, the comeback. So he's
- 18:59Speaker 6: he's a permanently a hero in Boston and he's made
- 19:01Speaker 6: his legacy and his bones in La as the manager.
- 19:04Speaker 6: And I still say, like, yeah, they got a great roster,
- 19:07Speaker 6: but you never hear like drama with them like they have.
- 19:09Speaker 6: You know, nobody bitches about playing time like they got
- 19:12Speaker 6: all these superstars. They bring all these guys in and
- 19:14Speaker 6: he keeps things humming and that is a job in itself.
- 19:17Speaker 6: So I think he's underregarded. He's one of those guys.
- 19:19Speaker 6: He's a little bit like Jordan and Lebron. The only
- 19:21Speaker 6: reason he doesn't win Manager of the Years because of
- 19:23Speaker 6: fatigued by the voters, like we can't give it to him, sure,
- 19:25Speaker 6: it'd be too easy.
- 19:26Speaker 3: He's a standard bearer.
- 19:27Speaker 6: He is, and it's like he's reached that level where
- 19:29Speaker 6: he is that good a manager and yeah, okay, but
- 19:32Speaker 6: you know, yeah, he's got a great roster.
- 19:34Speaker 5: Well, and he never get the respect anyway. Right, It's
- 19:36Speaker 5: like if a billionaire gives away five million in charity,
- 19:39Speaker 5: they're gonna say, well, you could have given it more.
- 19:41Speaker 5: He could have done more, he could have won more. Well,
- 19:43Speaker 5: he could have won every game. I mean it's like
- 19:45Speaker 5: and you.
- 19:46Speaker 6: Know, and again it goes to like he's a great manager,
- 19:50Speaker 6: fastest ever to a thousand wins. He's won three World Series.
- 19:52Speaker 6: He's also lost two World Series. Yeah, hard to win championships.
- 19:56Speaker 6: Brady lost some super Bowls. He did, he did, but
- 19:58Speaker 6: people you don't remember. And Jordan lost playoff series, believe
- 20:02Speaker 6: it or a new point he did. Yeah, we forget
- 20:04Speaker 6: that kind of stuff. All right, we're halfway through the half.
- 20:07Speaker 6: We're halfway through the week. Actually we're more than halfway
- 20:09Speaker 6: through the week. We should have observed halftime of the
- 20:11Speaker 6: week yesterday because we're not working Friday. It is the holiday.
- 20:15Speaker 6: I heard our overlords are giving us the Friday off
- 20:19Speaker 6: and we're off here. Yeah, we're off on the third
- 20:22Speaker 6: and we're celebrating the third end the four so it's
- 20:23Speaker 6: a little bit of an extended weekend for us.
- 20:25Speaker 3: Billy is in Vegas.
- 20:26Speaker 6: He's on his way to Vegas right now, enjoying a
- 20:28Speaker 6: little R and R on his week off for him.
- 20:31Speaker 6: A Doobe's in, Scott Dolphin's coming in. We reach halftime.
- 20:35Speaker 6: We got plenty of room for your hot takes. We
- 20:37Speaker 6: want some more. Eight seven seven seven ninety four one
- 20:39Speaker 6: ninety seven to three. Arman got us off to a
- 20:41Speaker 6: slow start today. He didn't hit the button, so we
- 20:43Speaker 6: weren't rolling on YouTube right away with the video. We
- 20:45Speaker 6: were audio still there.
- 20:47Speaker 3: We were on the air, but we weren't. They didn't
- 20:49Speaker 3: see our beautiful face. And then no one needs to
- 20:52Speaker 3: see our face until that's all right, that's all right,
- 20:55Speaker 3: But Dolph will be in next and we'll fire. We'll
- 20:57Speaker 3: throw some hot takes at Dolph. You were in the
- 21:00Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
- 21:08Speaker 6: Rolling along the huddle, Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin nine, twenty,
- 21:11Speaker 6: Milwaukee ten, seventy, Madison everywhere in the I heart ops,
- 21:13Speaker 6: streaming live, Facebook X and YouTube, Dobe Maxwell in, Billy's
- 21:16Speaker 6: on vacation. Adobe's filling in and it's halftime. So our
- 21:19Speaker 6: halftime correspondent's got Dolphin from the country station on the
- 21:21Speaker 6: hall FM one oh six is here with us. Hello, Dolph, Ellas,
- 21:24Speaker 6: good to see you.
- 21:25Speaker 8: Adobe w reminded me the last time we met was
- 21:29Speaker 8: on I think two morning shows ago. I thought I
- 21:31Speaker 8: had a mullet then, and I may have had a
- 21:33Speaker 8: body wave in the back.
- 21:33Speaker 3: It was very stylish.
- 21:35Speaker 5: What you mean your flow is looking.
- 21:39Speaker 8: The man that cat pitching for the Reds was that
- 21:42Speaker 8: last night of the night before last night? What a
- 21:45Speaker 8: great flow. I mean it spilled over both shoulders, front
- 21:47Speaker 8: and back.
- 21:48Speaker 6: I thought the journey tour bus broke down. Is the
- 21:52Speaker 6: mullet making a comeback in some circles or did it
- 21:54Speaker 6: never go away? Because when I walked through West allis
- 21:56Speaker 6: on my way into State Fair, I.
- 21:58Speaker 8: See a lot of mullets is going with that. Look now,
- 22:01Speaker 8: country music it's big. I mean Morgan Wallen kind of
- 22:03Speaker 8: has brought it back.
- 22:05Speaker 3: Prison yards to the absolutely.
- 22:07Speaker 8: You know, it was never called the bullet when I
- 22:09Speaker 8: grew the bullet, it was always called hockey hair.
- 22:11Speaker 3: That's what we called.
- 22:11Speaker 5: Okay, it was called it was called the latest hair do.
- 22:15Speaker 5: It was just called hair. Yeah. A lot of mustaches
- 22:17Speaker 5: coming back now for young dudes as well.
- 22:19Speaker 3: They're trying to get corn. Stash is big.
- 22:21Speaker 5: Everything is cyclical everything.
- 22:23Speaker 3: Some women that I date too, they got little fingers,
- 22:27Speaker 3: the handlebar, the goose.
- 22:28Speaker 5: Gosh, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, Dobie. Right, So
- 22:31Speaker 5: the lights come on.
- 22:32Speaker 6: At the battle, Yeah, yeah, the Hungarian all right, So
- 22:40Speaker 6: it's hot take hump day. We're entertaining hot takes. There's
- 22:43Speaker 6: so much going on in sports that we have to
- 22:45Speaker 6: pick through, Like this is the NBA feeding friends, and
- 22:47Speaker 6: it's like I think most people here. Once we got
- 22:50Speaker 6: resolution with Giannis last week, it's like, all right, Janis
- 22:52Speaker 6: is an armback.
- 22:52Speaker 3: All right.
- 22:53Speaker 6: Bucks made a move yesterday signed Uzman Jeng to a deal.
- 22:56Speaker 6: They didn't they didn't tender him. They signed him a
- 22:58Speaker 6: three year deal. He's a young player betting on the come.
- 23:01Speaker 6: But now like now it's Lebron, It's Lebron and Palooza
- 23:05Speaker 6: because Kawhi is getting traded out of LA. All the
- 23:07Speaker 6: talents leaving California, right sure, Yeah, and Lebron's gonna end
- 23:11Speaker 6: up somewhere, possibly Miami with Giannis or.
- 23:14Speaker 3: Golden State stuff, not Cleveland got home, don't you wish?
- 23:18Speaker 3: Like Lebron was kind of waiting for the Giannis to
- 23:20Speaker 3: leave the stage, and now he's like everything, Like maybe
- 23:23Speaker 3: they could have been speculating about Lebron's next team and
- 23:26Speaker 3: given us a break from the constant Yiannis talk.
- 23:28Speaker 5: He needs the spot There is a sense of him
- 23:30Speaker 5: that like, I'm not as much of a quote unquote
- 23:32Speaker 5: you know, some guys always have been like Lebron aters
- 23:34Speaker 5: or Lebron whatever. Lebron's had a great career. I think
- 23:37Speaker 5: it stands on its own. He's never really been in trouble.
- 23:39Speaker 5: But I understand the idea that he likes to be
- 23:42Speaker 5: in the spotlight a little bit. There's a little bit
- 23:44Speaker 5: of narcissism there. He likes the idea that people are
- 23:46Speaker 5: talking about him. I think when he's in the seventies,
- 23:49Speaker 5: we're gonna have a decision point eight for like what
- 23:52Speaker 5: retirement home he is going to be. And you know
- 23:54Speaker 5: he's I'm taking my talents at carl Gables. I think
- 23:57Speaker 5: there is a little bit of that, Yeah, the Pines
- 24:01Speaker 5: of mar Gables.
- 24:04Speaker 6: So the question that I have is if he ends
- 24:07Speaker 6: up in Miami, how does that work with him and
- 24:11Speaker 6: John and Bam.
- 24:12Speaker 3: I don't think it does.
- 24:14Speaker 6: And then do the does does pat Riley then have
- 24:17Speaker 6: to take on you know, Brownie and tanasas in this
- 24:20Speaker 6: part of the Baby Derby?
- 24:23Speaker 8: And uh, what are the other two brothers names? Alex
- 24:26Speaker 8: and Alex is signed and playing Greece again Curly Joe
- 24:32Speaker 8: or the new Curly Joe.
- 24:34Speaker 6: Yeah, so that's percolating.
- 24:37Speaker 3: The World Cup is going on.
- 24:39Speaker 6: We've been talking about us place tonight, big match tonight
- 24:41Speaker 6: at seven o'clock. That's almost like split screen. That's some
- 24:44Speaker 6: that's something that would compete against the Brewers game.
- 24:47Speaker 8: Yeah, and they take on Bosniy and Herzegovinia, which of
- 24:49Speaker 8: course is where the Milwaukee MESSI plays This twenty one
- 24:53Speaker 8: year old kid and I armined what's his name? I
- 24:56Speaker 8: don't want to put you there's a lot of syllables there,
- 24:59Speaker 8: but it's the kid who grows up in Wisconsin. He
- 25:01Speaker 8: came up through the Milwaukee Wave youth program. Probably could
- 25:04Speaker 8: have made Team USA. He was on the twenty one
- 25:05Speaker 8: and under us a team, but decided to go where
- 25:07Speaker 8: his parents came from, you know, obviously very close to
- 25:10Speaker 8: their roots.
- 25:11Speaker 5: S Mere, I'm gonna do my best here. This is
- 25:13Speaker 5: Slavic s Mere by Iraqchra.
- 25:19Speaker 3: Interesting. I think you're right. Yeah, it's an interesting vibe though.
- 25:22Speaker 8: I mean, he he came up, he's gonna be going
- 25:24Speaker 8: up against his former teammates in a lot of cases tonight.
- 25:26Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 25:27Speaker 6: He's from Appleton, Yeah, from Appleton, played with Wave, the Wave,
- 25:31Speaker 6: the names on the back of the jerseys.
- 25:33Speaker 3: That'll be like a scrabble three hundred pointer with all
- 25:35Speaker 3: those letters right back like that down his leg.
- 25:39Speaker 5: Is he gonna find a way to put the little
- 25:40Speaker 5: apostrophy on this, you know?
- 25:43Speaker 7: Ye?
- 25:43Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 25:44Speaker 3: A lot for German Germany, that's right. Class Wow, So
- 25:49Speaker 3: got that going on? Got the Brewers? Who are you know?
- 25:52Speaker 3: It was?
- 25:53Speaker 6: They've recovered from their weekend lost to the Cubs in
- 25:56Speaker 6: two out of three of the Cubs.
- 25:57Speaker 8: They've recovered two things. I mean, Bowers, what a godsend
- 26:00Speaker 8: he has been. You know, this is a guy that
- 26:02Speaker 8: really couldn't find himself five six different clubs and he
- 26:04Speaker 8: comes here and he's been so solid. Fifteen home runs.
- 26:06Speaker 8: But Cherio hit his tenth home run of the month.
- 26:09Speaker 8: Wow last night. What's the record Drew? Do you know,
- 26:13Speaker 8: uh for home runs in the months for the Brewers?
- 26:16Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 26:16Speaker 3: Great question. That's got to be close, right, ten in
- 26:18Speaker 3: a month.
- 26:19Speaker 5: I don't know about Russell Brandon that one month Russell Brandon.
- 26:22Speaker 6: Had like though he went I mean didn't know. Didn't
- 26:24Speaker 6: Terrang just hit like ten or twelve in August last year.
- 26:26Speaker 6: I think you're right, yeah, I think you might have
- 26:28Speaker 6: short term memory. I mean, yeah, he was up there.
- 26:32Speaker 6: Thames hit had a month where he went off like
- 26:34Speaker 6: in April thirteen.
- 26:37Speaker 5: Apparently the record shared by two players. You go, you
- 26:40Speaker 5: want to guess one was in seven? What was in nineteen?
- 26:43Speaker 5: How about Ryansfielder Prince Fielder's one of nineteen? Yeah, that's
- 26:47Speaker 5: a good guess, but it wasn't Ryan Brown, Yalotsfielder and
- 26:50Speaker 5: yellots Yes, yes, so.
- 26:52Speaker 3: There you go.
- 26:53Speaker 5: Gorman had twelve in August of seventy nine, so he
- 26:56Speaker 5: was close.
- 26:57Speaker 6: That was a big here you go, all right, Yeah,
- 27:00Speaker 6: so there you have it, though, that's a pretty good month.
- 27:03Speaker 5: Ugh and Bits also had twelve ninety nine, but thirteen
- 27:06Speaker 5: is the record shared by yell achenfielder.
- 27:08Speaker 8: Love Burnit's do you remember when the Brewce used to
- 27:11Speaker 8: have post game award or post season awards and they
- 27:14Speaker 8: do it. Yeah, as a fister, And one year we
- 27:16Speaker 8: got invited, Karen and I we were talking about this morning.
- 27:18Speaker 8: Karen Del Sandra and I got invited to present the
- 27:20Speaker 8: home run Champion of the Year and Bernits won it.
- 27:24Speaker 3: And so we were up and Jeremy Burnett's and a screen.
- 27:26Speaker 8: Races up behind us and he's sitting in his backyard
- 27:29Speaker 8: in San Diego. I want to say, thanks, Karen, it's
- 27:31Speaker 8: got this is a great honor, and he's and then
- 27:33Speaker 8: he goes It's like we're at the Academy Awards, but
- 27:36Speaker 8: he could not be present, so we accepted in his honor.
- 27:37Speaker 5: I just love the idea that he used to add
- 27:39Speaker 5: those teams.
- 27:39Speaker 3: But Diamond Dinner. It used to have the Diamond Dinner
- 27:41Speaker 3: in the middle of the winter, and yeah.
- 27:43Speaker 8: Yeah, I still have a Brewers briefcase that I used
- 27:45Speaker 8: to this day that they gave me to for being
- 27:47Speaker 8: there that night.
- 27:47Speaker 3: I was Van Wagoner, Van Wagner, great man. It wasn't
- 27:50Speaker 3: open to the public, was it, I don't know. Oh, yeah,
- 27:53Speaker 3: Diamond Dinner was open. It was.
- 27:54Speaker 8: It was like at the Fister was at the Fister Ballroom.
- 27:56Speaker 8: I know our table was Rod Carew and his wife.
- 27:59Speaker 8: Jeff Lincoln's was there.
- 28:01Speaker 1: Chucky Cary was there at our table with us.
- 28:04Speaker 3: It was a thrill for me to tell you that
- 28:06Speaker 3: being around all these it was for fun. I remember
- 28:08Speaker 3: my pal they brought in. They'd bring in a speaker,
- 28:10Speaker 3: like the honorary speaker at MC kind of thing. Or
- 28:13Speaker 3: But one year was Tim kirkch That was the year
- 28:16Speaker 3: I was in the building that year.
- 28:17Speaker 6: He was fantastic, hilarious And I still talked him about
- 28:20Speaker 6: that because the birds flew him in and he was
- 28:23Speaker 6: He got on the plane and he was the only
- 28:25Speaker 6: person on the plane from Baltimore Midwest Midwest Express back
- 28:29Speaker 6: when you know, shout out the Midwest Express. But yeah,
- 28:31Speaker 6: he still tells that story like it was like they
- 28:33Speaker 6: send him a private jet. It was a commercial flight,
- 28:36Speaker 6: but he was the only person on the Baltimore to
- 28:38Speaker 6: Milwaukee flight.
- 28:38Speaker 5: That is unheard of now, I mean, to be the
- 28:40Speaker 5: only person on a flight is.
- 28:41Speaker 3: Like he was talking about how uncomfortable it was, Like
- 28:44Speaker 3: the flight attendants like they just like sit down, you
- 28:46Speaker 3: know what I think? No, I'm good, all right. Then
- 28:48Speaker 3: they're just kind of chilling one person to take there.
- 28:51Speaker 3: I'm surprised didn't cancel of flight. Did they give him
- 28:53Speaker 3: the speech? The safety speech one guy gets individually.

- 30:46Speaker 5: story that he was late for his first practice with
- 30:48Speaker 5: the packers with Lombardy, and he told them that because
- 30:51Speaker 5: of your plane being late, I'll be late for my
- 30:53Speaker 5: first meeting with Vince Lombardi and I'm gonna tell him
- 30:55Speaker 5: it's your fault. And they rented him a private plane,
- 30:59Speaker 5: the Beautiful. He told that story on some NFL films thing.

- 31:17Speaker 3: a chance. Let's roll that ice. I tell you Spirit
- 31:20Speaker 3: was underappreciated, wasn't that? Ball asked Rifts dumb question speaking
- 31:25Speaker 3: of Green Bay, who was austin strable? Anybody know? I
- 31:28Speaker 3: don't know. I have no clue, Joe, look it up
- 31:32Speaker 3: here for you.
- 31:33Speaker 6: I mean, I guess I would guess like military hero
- 31:35Speaker 6: or something like Billy Mitchell, Right, that's Billy Mitchell.
- 31:38Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't know Billy Mitchell Field here in Milwaukee.
- 31:41Speaker 8: Austin Strable is a name that sounds like he's probably
- 31:43Speaker 8: in college today.
- 31:45Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds like a name that's either a golfer.
- 31:47Speaker 5: Yeah, Lieutenant Colonel Austin Strable, major in the U. S.
- 31:51Speaker 5: Army Air Force from Green Bay. Uh. It was Brown
- 31:55Speaker 5: County's first aviation loss of World War Two. So World
- 31:57Speaker 5: War there you go, there you go. It makes it
- 31:59Speaker 5: makes sense. The more you know civic info from the
- 32:02Speaker 5: yester morning, you learn stuff there. You learn stuff there.
- 32:06Speaker 3: All right.
- 32:06Speaker 6: So, because I haven't had Dobe on the air in
- 32:08Speaker 6: a while with us every day halftime reporter, but uh, Dobe,
- 32:13Speaker 6: I want to offer my condolences because you're one of
- 32:15Speaker 6: your good friends. Tom Dreeson passed recently, the legendary Tom Basons.
- 32:20Speaker 6: Old enough to remember Tom yeahs being on the Tonight
- 32:22Speaker 6: Show all the time.
- 32:23Speaker 3: The picture and we're in a Dodgers uniform. I work
- 32:26Speaker 3: with him as a fundraiser in Los Angeles area last
- 32:28Speaker 3: year and he was eighty five. He looked forty five,
- 32:31Speaker 3: never a pound overweight. Super nice guy. And I have
- 32:35Speaker 3: a Facebook group that mentors young comedians and he was
- 32:38Speaker 3: always said, you know, I send people, ask me I
- 32:40Speaker 3: sent him to your group. And before he passed away,
- 32:42Speaker 3: he sent me a letter said, hey, I keep me
- 32:43Speaker 3: in the happy in the same schedule, take you out
- 32:45Speaker 3: to dinner and were never in the same town. So
- 32:48Speaker 3: he sent me a hundred dollars. Brothers said you won't appetite, buddy,
- 32:50Speaker 3: eat on me, and two weeks later he passed away. Believable,
- 32:54Speaker 3: very sad face.
- 32:55Speaker 6: Fifteen years opening for Sinatra and the stories that he
- 32:59Speaker 6: had exactly.
- 33:00Speaker 8: I just always look forward when he was going to
- 33:02Speaker 8: be on something that was going to be watching. Maybe
- 33:04Speaker 8: he just his energy was non stop the whole time
- 33:06Speaker 8: he came out, and he always had a smile on
- 33:08Speaker 8: his face, always brought his a game, was always enjoyable
- 33:11Speaker 8: to watch.
- 33:12Speaker 3: That's sad news. Yeah, think about this real quickly. I
- 33:13Speaker 3: mean people, I wonder what it's like to be a comedian.
- 33:16Speaker 3: He was opening for Frank Sinatra in twenty thousand Seed arenas,
- 33:19Speaker 3: and that one of those people were there to see him,
- 33:21Speaker 3: and sometimes Frank was in a mood. Tommy, I needed
- 33:24Speaker 3: to do fifteen minutes. Then Tommy, I needed to do
- 33:26Speaker 3: eight minutes. Tommy, I need to do twenty five minutes,
- 33:28Speaker 3: So you got to on the fly, just switch up
- 33:31Speaker 3: adjust because mister Sinatra, and he always called him mister Sinatra,
- 33:35Speaker 3: said what he wanted. So his degree of difficulty on
- 33:37Speaker 3: the scale of one to ten was a seventy four.
- 33:39Speaker 3: And he pulled it off. And you never knew that.
- 33:41Speaker 3: He was very nice. Yeah, he was awesome, Just a
- 33:43Speaker 3: total Hall of Famer, the ambassador of comedy. Can't say
- 33:47Speaker 3: enough good things. Thanks for ing me as much. I
- 33:49Speaker 3: know that that one hits you because it's like yeah,
- 33:51Speaker 3: and he was a copy. He was about too. And
- 33:53Speaker 3: last year when the Cubs lost to the Brewers, he
- 33:56Speaker 3: called me and congratulated and said, you know what I'm
- 33:58Speaker 3: hurting right now, but your team is Illinois, right, Illinois,
- 34:01Speaker 3: exactly from Lou Boudreau was a player, was from Harvey
- 34:04Speaker 3: as well. So every time I get a Lou Budreau
- 34:06Speaker 3: baseball card, I sent him stack the.
- 34:08Speaker 8: Good kid Lou Boudreau. I only know that from watching
- 34:11Speaker 8: Cubs games as a as a child.
- 34:13Speaker 3: The good kid.
- 34:14Speaker 6: Lou Boudreau's grandson lives in the area of Blaine, and
- 34:17Speaker 6: I've known Blaine for a long time. Yeah, absolutely, Blaine's
- 34:20Speaker 6: a good guy man. One of the good ones. He's
- 34:22Speaker 6: gonna get the cards because kid, Yeah, okay, yeah, and
- 34:24Speaker 6: he still got a bunch of those left over. That's
- 34:26Speaker 6: pretty cool. But yeah, Tom reesent like and world. I
- 34:28Speaker 6: have to remember, like he was on Tonight Show. He
- 34:30Speaker 6: slay and Carson loved having him, and he was always
- 34:33Speaker 6: he had that cachet because he was anointed by Sinatra.
- 34:37Speaker 3: Like here Sinatra's opening act.
- 34:38Speaker 6: Everywhere he goes, you're performing and in the tucks and
- 34:41Speaker 6: just doing a you know for people that.
- 34:43Speaker 3: You know my bank robbery story. I almost went to prison.
- 34:45Speaker 3: Blah blah blah. I was was the time I thought
- 34:47Speaker 3: I was going to go to jail. I had a
- 34:48Speaker 3: radio job in Reno and and uh got coming to
- 34:51Speaker 3: calls me up and says, hey, your buddy Tom Reeson
- 34:54Speaker 3: came through. We've got front row tickets to see Frank
- 34:56Speaker 3: Sinatra Junior in Reno because we go in there and
- 34:59Speaker 3: it take us right right down to the front row.
- 35:01Speaker 3: And he called me up later and said, hey, kid,
- 35:02Speaker 3: and I'm going through some hard times. I hope you
- 35:04Speaker 3: had a good time. That's a class act. Wow, who
- 35:06Speaker 3: thinks of that? Yeah you heard about it secondhand. Yeah,
- 35:09Speaker 3: so you got me started out of that guy is
- 35:11Speaker 3: a legend.
- 35:12Speaker 5: Imagine that being in Frank's orbit to stories. But you
- 35:16Speaker 5: have to be judicious about how you share the stories.
- 35:18Speaker 5: But I'm sure everybody wants to hear a story. You
- 35:20Speaker 5: better learn to drink, yeah exactly.
- 35:23Speaker 6: Couldn't be a teetotaler in that orb Dean Martin and
- 35:26Speaker 6: just like dip out and leave early and you know, yeah,
- 35:28Speaker 6: I got I got a tea time, or drink apple
- 35:31Speaker 6: juice instead of whisky and whiskey.
- 35:33Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. But it just wasn't singers, right, what do
- 35:35Speaker 3: you have?
- 35:36Speaker 8: He had actors and comedians and put part of the
- 35:39Speaker 8: rat pack back of.
- 35:40Speaker 6: That whole circus. That was yah, but what's the stories?
- 35:44Speaker 6: And a huge Cubs fan respect he was.
- 35:46Speaker 3: He would sing a Southsider too, and he would throw
- 35:49Speaker 3: out the first pitch.
- 35:50Speaker 5: That is rare because he was from Harvey. So you
- 35:53Speaker 5: think that's white Sox country, right, Yeah, yeah.
- 35:55Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a weird vibe though.
- 35:57Speaker 8: You know, my brother in law grew up on the
- 36:00Speaker 8: far North Side and it's a huge Socks fan.
- 36:02Speaker 1: You never know, it's just yeah, it's just people just
- 36:04Speaker 1: rebel right, right, or you see Aj Perzinski met the
- 36:07Speaker 1: Pope by the way, last week I saw that and
- 36:09Speaker 1: presented him with the game ball from the final out
- 36:11Speaker 1: of the Game one of the two thousand and five

- 36:21Speaker 6: I have a great, a great story from that World
- 36:24Speaker 6: Series when the White Sox won it. I was in
- 36:26Speaker 6: the Alair clubhouse and I was at AJ Pierzinski's locker
- 36:29Speaker 6: and this woman Phyllis marriage, who was the vice president

- 36:39Speaker 6: of guys stand around. We're all He's giving us quotes.
- 36:40Speaker 6: He's a good, good quote, good media guy.

- 36:47Speaker 6: mass thing for everybody.

- 38:45Speaker 6: you're working the highways and byways. Here Brewers are playing. Well,
- 38:48Speaker 6: you're kind of you know, you live in get the
- 38:51Speaker 6: Kenosha area by the state line, so you get the
- 38:53Speaker 6: you're in the DMZ of Bears Packers.
- 38:55Speaker 3: What's it like?
- 38:55Speaker 6: The Cubs come in, they take two or three, but
- 38:57Speaker 6: they have not found their way yet, and their fans
- 38:59Speaker 6: are feeling great.
- 39:01Speaker 3: What's funny? Because I was gonna gas pump and I
- 39:04Speaker 3: wear my brower cap religiously that I got from you,
- 39:07Speaker 3: and it's I was fun And I saw this Cubs
- 39:09Speaker 3: fan He's all decked out and Cubs everything, and just
- 39:12Speaker 3: gives me a glare and a snarl. I said, don't
- 39:15Speaker 3: blame me. Your organization stinks. He goes, yeah, you're right.
- 39:20Speaker 6: But then again, we began the show with a little
- 39:23Speaker 6: rant because the Birds are winning. They're they're like the
- 39:26Speaker 6: best record ever after eighty two games or whatever. It is,
- 39:28Speaker 6: like they've reached the halfway point. They've defied the odds again. Sure,
- 39:33Speaker 6: and yet people are like, they're gonna get Yo to
- 39:35Speaker 6: the leadoff spot. He sucks lately. He's oh for four,
- 39:38Speaker 6: oh for four again. Last night I punched out three times,
- 39:40Speaker 6: and it's like it's like everybody wants everything to be perfect,
- 39:44Speaker 6: right armand like we're looking at this is like, can't
- 39:46Speaker 6: you just be happy they won a game.
- 39:48Speaker 5: There's a nitpicking aspect up, but there's always something.
- 39:51Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 39:52Speaker 5: It's like Al McGuire one said, there are certain people
- 39:55Speaker 5: that if they made Keel Wilson, they'd expect her to
- 39:57Speaker 5: cook too. That's an old reference, I get it. But
- 40:00Speaker 5: the idea, yes, I mean of all the great lineups,
- 40:03Speaker 5: even you remember Drew I mentioned earlier, like they weren't
- 40:07Speaker 5: all hitting at the same time. It's like, it's like,
- 40:09Speaker 5: unless you have everyone hitting the same time, everyone's gonna say, well,
- 40:12Speaker 5: what about that thing? You know, you know, I know
- 40:14Speaker 5: you got to mansion, you know, but the paint on
- 40:17Speaker 5: that thirty seventh window looks a little.
- 40:19Speaker 3: Bit old, you know, Findy Crawford has a mole, Yeah, exactly.
- 40:23Speaker 5: Stuff like that. So the Brewers obviously are playing well.
- 40:25Speaker 5: Not everyone's gonna be hitting at the same time. In
- 40:27Speaker 5: this lineup. Right now, Sal's getting hot, Yellich has been
- 40:31Speaker 5: scuffling a bit sometimes it was terrain. Now he's figuring.
- 40:34Speaker 5: So that's just the process. That's the way it works.
- 40:37Speaker 5: The important thing is you have the depth of a
- 40:39Speaker 5: team to try and pick each other up, because that's
- 40:41Speaker 5: how you win during those moments, right, you don't rely
- 40:44Speaker 5: on a couple guys. So the Brewer's been winning, that's
- 40:46Speaker 5: the important thing. They're on pace right now for one
- 40:48Speaker 5: hundred and one wins. Well they get there, I don't
- 40:50Speaker 5: think so. They've never won one hundred games, but it's
- 40:52Speaker 5: just an indication of how well.
- 40:53Speaker 6: They've done here in this first exactly. And some people
- 40:56Speaker 6: it's their default setting. And in the social media you're
- 40:58Speaker 6: a negativity move the needle, so it's like that's the thing.
- 41:01Speaker 6: But when Craig Council played for the Brewers, his nickname
- 41:04Speaker 6: was a grumpy Rooster because he'd come in with his
- 41:06Speaker 6: hair all messed up and stuff for spring training and
- 41:08Speaker 6: he's usually kind of grumpy.
- 41:10Speaker 3: That's what was his kind of.
- 41:11Speaker 6: His default setting, right, BJ Sirhoff when he played for
- 41:14Speaker 6: the Brewers, Phil Garner nicknamed him mister Happy because he
- 41:17Speaker 6: never smiled. He was never he was always very dowry,
- 41:20Speaker 6: mister Happy. He's like, yep, BJ could win the lottery
- 41:22Speaker 6: and then bitch about having to pay taxes and they're like, yeah,
- 41:26Speaker 6: that's how it is.
- 41:27Speaker 3: That's how he that's how people are wired.
- 41:29Speaker 6: But in this day and age, Dobe, it's like those
- 41:30Speaker 6: people are winning, those people that are always negative. Badger's
- 41:34Speaker 6: going to hire a new ad and he's got state roots.
- 41:36Speaker 6: He's went to Whitewater, he's from you know, I don't
- 41:38Speaker 6: even remember, some small town in Instead of being happy like.
- 41:41Speaker 3: This sucks is terrible. He was awful at Nebraska. They
- 41:43Speaker 3: should have got somebody better. He hasn't even gotten the
- 41:45Speaker 3: job yet.
- 41:45Speaker 6: I haven't even announced it officially yet, but people want
- 41:48Speaker 6: to be the first to say he's gonna suck your boy.
- 41:51Speaker 3: Art Kabilowski is very high on this guy. I think
- 41:53Speaker 3: he's gonna do a great yet.
- 41:53Speaker 6: I think, yeah, good he might let him do it.
- 41:57Speaker 6: Give him a chance. That's the thing.
- 41:58Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.
- 41:59Speaker 6: All right, we have another hour of the program. We're
- 42:02Speaker 6: gonna fly through it because Adobe is here. You got
- 42:04Speaker 6: any questions for Adobe about comedy? You got any hot takes?
- 42:07Speaker 6: Hot take comp days upon us? I got a lot
- 42:09Speaker 6: more holsterred up. Don't you go anywhere where else would
