Set 2: World Series Bound & Polls (w/ Matt Vasgersian) · Stugotz and Company

• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Please to be joined by Matt Viscursion.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: The Brewers are on to the World Series. He is
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: part of MLB Network's post-game coverage. More importantly, post-season coverage,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: excuse me.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: More importantly... He is a monster Brewers fan.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: He is here on behalf of the Milwaukee Brewers and
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: their fan base who have finally made it to a
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: World Series.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: What did it feel like last night sweeping the Dodgers, Matt?
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, look, you know, there were so many firsts
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: in this series. Never before has a team that's been
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: swept come back to sweep the same team. Um, never
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: before has a team played from behind and won four
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: straight and come back fashion to finish a sweep. It was,
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: it was ecstasy. It was everything, man. I mean, you
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: talk about all tortured fan base. Holy cow. I worked
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: there in the late nineties when they were still playing
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: at County stadium, when the place was completely dilapidated, it
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: was falling apart. There were tile showers and drains everywhere.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: in the floors of a quote unquote executives offices, because
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: they used to be ancillary changing rooms for when the
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Packers would play three home games a year at County stadium.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: It was bootleg central and, you know, Miller park came
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: in 2001. It cleaned things up a little bit, but
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: they still weren't very good as a, as a baseball team.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: This is, I mean, this is like the best era
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: of Brewers baseball ever winning consecutive division titles and, Beating
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: the Cubs last year in the division series and Craig
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Council after, you know, leaving the Brewers because he didn't
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: think he was going to get a chance to win
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: a World Series there. It's pretty amazing. And to do
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: it against a beast like the Dodgers.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, if they hadn't swept them, by
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: the way, they were going to have to run the
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: gauntlet again of Scooble, Yamamoto, Snell, and Glasnow.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: It was important for them to sweep them. Right.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Well, they played like they knew that, right? I mean.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: They really did.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Put us there when Otani hits the home run. Did
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: your confidence waver at all?
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I mean. Yeah.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, a little bit just because you're always afraid
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: of something like that. When the best player on the
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: planet gets it back, you're afraid it's going to be sustained.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: It wasn't. He looked terrible this series, man. He looked
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: terrible for a month and a half. I get it.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: He hit a big homer yesterday. It was glorious for
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: them for one fleeting moment. He was not himself. And
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: if you take the best player off of any team,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: we saw it with the Yankees without Aaron Judge, they're
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: a different team. We all thought the Dodgers were deep
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: enough to sustain the a lesser version of Otani.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Turns out, you know, they weren't.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Brian Anderson was on with us the other day, and
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: he said that Milwaukee is starving for their baseball team
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: to make it to the World Series, that it would
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: be bigger than the Packers making it to a Super Bowl.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Is he right? I mean, that seems ridiculous. I love B.A.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: He's a homer.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: We go way back.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Call him a homer.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: I'll gently push back on the Packers, Tom, because.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, Packers football is a way of life there.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: I got a son who's 12 years old. He's an
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: honorary cheeser. He's somehow a Packers fan. He likes the Brewers.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: He loves the Packers. And I think that's kind of
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: how it goes out there. Although, you know, look, you
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: could make a case that B.A.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: 's right.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Forty four years between World Series appearances.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: It's a long time, man.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: And Packer fans have had success. And so, you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: the Brewers were last in the World Series. They've had
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: a lot of it right with Favre, with Rod.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Maybe he is right. Maybe BA is right. We should
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: apologize to Brian Anderson.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he could be on to something here. I think
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: it's an interesting contrast, too, when you think about the
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Brewers of 82, unshaven, uncouth, unapologetic. They ran it hard.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Their post-game curriculum was just as involved as their in-game curriculum,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: if you know what I mean.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes, of course.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: And it was kind of I think symptomatic of how
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: baseball was different back then too. There were a lot
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: of rough and tumble teams in the early eighties.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: And now because of social media and whatever else is happening,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: advanced training and the, you know, the dollar signs that
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: are on these contracts, guys go back to their hotel rooms.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Now they play video games. Right. That's what they do.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: They don't go out and run around like the 82 Brewers.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: No, Gorman Thomas wasn't doing that. Oh, no.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: No, no. Gorman was up to many things. I know
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Gorman pretty well. I mean, that's a docu-series waiting to happen.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Somebody's missing out.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I'm on it. Go ahead, Mikey.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: It felt like there was a lot more riding on
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: this series than just who was going to the World Series.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: It felt like this is going to factor into labor
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: negotiations with how much the Dodgers are this beast of
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: spending all the money in the Milwaukee as a low,
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: as a, you know, as a, as a bottom team,
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: when it comes to payroll, how much did you think
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: is going to change now that the big, bad Dodgers
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: are out?
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, you could make that case, Mike. And
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: there were a lot of people that were trying to
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: build that narrative yesterday, even after the post game. I mean,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Dave Roberts is, is within 15 minutes of this gut-wrenching
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: series sweep, and you have people asking him in his presser,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: can something good come out of this for baseball? He's like, no,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: not for me. I manage the Dodgers.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I just got swept, yes.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I do get the question, though. I mean, I don't
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: think at the end of the day it's going to
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: change things. But you could certainly draw those lines. Look,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: the small market guys, and we're talking about a payroll,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: roughly a third of what the Dodgers spent this year.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: The Brewers are under $ 100 million. But beyond the luxury
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: tax numbers, the Dodgers were close to a $ 400 million payroll,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: which is crazy. Advocates of the small market team who
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: want a salary cap to even the playing field, They'd
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: look at this and say, all right, look, it happened
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: without a salary cap. Davey slayed Goliath without a salary cap.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: So I think you could look at it from any lens,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: whatever you're predisposed to believing and think that it might
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: impact things. I think just as interesting is the TV deal, right?
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Fox didn't get the Dodgers. Fox didn't get the Yankees.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: They might be looking at a Ray's Brewers or a
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Guardian's Brewers.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, sales guys are going to have
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: to work.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: A little harder, I think. A lot harder. Not a little,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: a lot. It's a tough sell, man.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: It is interesting, though.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: The Brewers will go from being the underdog against the Dodgers.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not certain they should have been, but they were.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: The underdogs against the Dodgers, they're going to be, I think, unless, well,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: maybe Tampa, you would tell me, prohibitive favorites over whoever
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: they play in the world series.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Is that fair? They should be the favorites. Yeah. Yeah.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I think they're going to be favored. I think what
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: they just did at the Dodgers installs them as favorite,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: by the way, I looked at, cause I'm curious about
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: such things. What would, if somebody had, you know, taken
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: their $ 10 on one of the sites and, and bet
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: on the Brewers to sweep the Dodgers.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: What would you have guessed that number should have been?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Wow, so you're betting $ 10? I'm guessing you win.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just tell me, what do you think the number
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: should have been on the shop?
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: On a sweep. I'm guessing you win, like, I don't know.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I'm just guessing $ 50, 000. That's what it should have been.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: It was plus $ 2, 200. Wow. For a Brewers sweep. That's crap.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Shocking.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Like, you know how... unlikely that would have been last week.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: And you're going to give me plus 2200.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Keep it. That is chicken shit.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Odds making. Can I say that? Odds making?
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: It's a terrible number.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: It really is. Will Bowers ever buy a drink in
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee again? No, sir. No, sir.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: And you know, you could have, and this is what
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: a great team when it was, you could have made
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: a case for three different dudes to be MVP.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: No doubt.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Four. Cause I'll put Aaron Ashby in there too. I mean,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: dude didn't allow a run.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Bowers, Mitchell, Garrett Mitchell. How do you not love this guy?
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: He plays with a, with a diabetes pump on him.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: He had his shoulder blown apart two years ago. Nicest kid.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: And again, homers against elite left-handers in back-to-back games.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Insane.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Holy cow.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Yes. Insane. Guys who don't give up home runs ever.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, just nuts. Go ahead, Mike.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: Uh, I'm going to ask you to turn off the
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: sports commentator and put on the fan hat. Who are
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: you hoping for in the world series?
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Who do you want? Who do you want?
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to, I want to raise because there
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: are two teams that play similarly, uh, you know, high
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: contact rate teams, um, Also, as a I don't know,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: maybe as a commentator, I'd want to raise even more
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: because if I'm traveling, I want to be in a
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: climate controlled dome. I don't want to deal with Cleveland
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: in late October. I mean, it's going to rain again
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: there today.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: I think they're going to get the Trump isn't better.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're choosing the Trump. I can't believe it.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: I don't mind the Trump. Maybe I'm the one guy.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: I don't mind it.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: What do you like about it?
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: The new roof has made all the difference in day games.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: I know in night games it still looks a little mausoleum-ish,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: but I just like the convenience of it. Nobody wants
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: to be in Tampa St. Pete outdoors for those six months,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: so I don't mind the place.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: And the roof, right. And the roof out.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think I want the raise as a fan.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: I just want to see that matchup. I also want
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: to see, I mean, two of my favorite players to
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: watch in baseball are Yandy Diaz and junior Caminero. And
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: I want, I want to see them on a world
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: series stage.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: How'd you celebrate last night? Was there any sort of celebration, friends, anything, family,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: or you sleeping by 12?
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, I was working last night. And, you know,
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: we start our MLB Network postgame show after the trophy ceremony.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: So the buzz kind of wears off. But I also
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: the no cheering in the press box rule was completely
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: obscured last night for me. I was running around with
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: this sweatshirt, full colors, go Brewers, and not even apologizing.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Nor should you, because I have said for, I don't know,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: 10 years now, the second that Michael Wilbon was covering
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: the Cubs for ESPN wearing a Cubs jersey was the
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: second journalism died.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: That's pretty good time date stamp. Yeah, look, if Wilbon
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: can do it, the rest of us can do it, right?
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: When a guy that big is able to break the ceiling,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: then the schmuck-level guys like me, it doesn't matter what
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: I wear.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering, because Mikey A and I are Jet fans,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: and we just want to get to a Super Bowl,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: and I imagine if we ever, don't laugh at us,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: I imagine that if we ever got to a Super Bowl,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: what it would feel like if we actually, would that
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: be enough for me, just getting to the Super Bowl?
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Will getting to the World Series be enough for Brewer fans?
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: No, I don't think so.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: You know, because they've been bridesmaids for so long. I mean,
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: in whether it's an LCS division series and let's face it.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Like we're older guys.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: I remember the 82 Brewers pretty well. And when I
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: was looking around last weekend in Milwaukee, just kind of
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: scanning the stands. Maybe one in every 30 fans would
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: have been around long enough with enough skin in the
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: game to remember Gorman Thomas and Cecil Cooper and Ben
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Ogilvie and Pete Vukovic. You know, it's a whole new
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: generation of fan. And congratulations on the Brewers for graduating
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: new classes of fans because not every franchise is able
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: to do that. Right. But I don't think just getting
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: there is enough. I think they know they're the best
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: team in baseball and they want to win it all.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: They have the best record in the sport for two
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: straight years. You've got to take home the ring now. Yeah.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Uh, hard not to think about Bob Euchre last night, huh?
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, just how much he would have enjoyed this, right?
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, he would have enjoyed that's for sure.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: He would have enjoyed it. Um, you know, I'm not
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: sure how, cause you was not, everybody always thinks that
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Euchre was like, you know, always on the, Mr. Baseball
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: just shooting one-liners off like Henny Youngman. He was not that.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: There were times when Bob was pissed off. There were
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: times when Bob was acerbic. But let me tell you,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: when he wanted to be funnier, there was nobody as.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Funny as him. I love it. So this is the best.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing this has to be the best baseball has
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: ever made you feel, right?
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're here.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Man, you know, that's probably true. I'm from Oakland. I'm
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: a long-suffering Oakland A's fan. As soon as they went
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: to Vegas, I was out. Or Sacramento, whatever the waypoint
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: is now. But I don't really remember the last of
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: the three straight World Series in 75. I was nine.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: I can't say that I remember how that felt. But, yeah,
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: this feels good on a lot of levels. Back to
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: the economic part of it, you know, it's nice to
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: see a smaller market team with a chance to win
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: it all now. They beat the Dodgers. The Brewers fan base, long-suffering.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: I just never thought I'd see the day, honestly, even
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: in the last few years, even as recently as this year,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: you're thinking, all right, best regular season team in baseball again.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: And they're going to get punked by the Dodgers super rotation.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Think about who they beat, man.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: It's incredible.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Yes. That's amazing.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Nell and Yamamoto. I mean, yeah. And they were about
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: to face him again, but they don't have to, which
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: is great.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, $ 400 million payroll. They went out and got Scooble,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: and we all said, oh, this is a joke. Right.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: This is a joke. Like, they're going to win three more.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, but I think that's what Mikey was talking about.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: The team that didn't trade for Scooble because they can't
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: and they won't beat the team that traded for Scooble
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: because they can. They have an embarrassment of riches. And
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: so I think it does, larger picture, it has to
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: change something. in terms of negotiations here for baseball.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Sure hope so. I mean, I like the proposal that
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: the league's put out. I don't want to sound like
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: a mole for the league, but I do like the
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: 154 that they've proposed. Everybody's off on Monday. More postseason games.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: Players Association has to look at that and be like, okay,
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: they got something there. They still don't want a cap.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: I get it. But what the league has put out,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: I think, is real good.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Matt, a lot of people, as you know, started watching
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: baseball during the postseason, so they're not familiar with this
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Brewers team. It was so impressive to see them. They
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: were down in all four of these games and came
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: back to win. Is that representative of what this team
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: has been doing the entire season?
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: It is actually. It's crazy to say that, but you know,
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: think of what they did in San Diego to beat
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: the Brewers in the division series.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: All but one of those wins was a come from
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: behind win.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: So what allows that to happen? Unwavering confidence as a
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: lineup and a really good bullpen because if one guy
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: cracks it's over yes and there were probably people yesterday
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: who after the home run allowed by dustin may they
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: were like ah see the brewers bullpen's about to be
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: exposed now for four straight games wasn't the case man
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: that group was good it's anonymous they don't have any
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: stars down there they don't have any big you know
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: uh household name players But D.L. Hall, Aaron Ashby, Trevor McGill, again,
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: you know, your late fans not going to know who
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: those dudes are, but they're really good and they're hot
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: right now, too.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: And Pat Murphy really seems to embody that city. Like
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: the fans love him.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, he's like I've called it. I've
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: called him this before. He's like America's favorite uncle.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: You know, he's the crazy uncle that show up. He'll
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: be late. He'll he won't wouldn't have brought the right.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: a housewarming gift, and you'll love him anyway. They've responded
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: to him, man. I mean, he was 23 years old
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: when the Brewers were in the World Series in 82.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Crazy.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: He was a boy, and now he's the guy. Think
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: about this, too. Craig Council hires him as his bench
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: coach after he had a whiff of a managerial run
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: in San Diego. Council brings him in. Council becomes the Brewers'
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: all-time winningest manager. He's from Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: He's a local.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: His dad used to run season tickets for the Brewers
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: back in the 80s.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: Craig decides that he's never going to win there. Cubs
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: back up a truck and give him a bunch of money.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: He goes south to the Cubs. Murph gets the job,
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: and now Murph has won manager of the year back-to-back seasons,
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: and he's four wins away from a World Series title.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes. You love him. You're giddy.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Matt Vizcarra is a giddy, happy Milwaukee Brewer fan today
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: who is cheering in the clubhouse. And I am so
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: proud of you for doing so. Congratulations to you. Check
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: him out.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: MLB Network.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: He'll be part of the World Series coverage as well,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: of course, here moving forward.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I can rattle off 80s brewers with you all day.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: We could do it another day. But Jim Gantner, Moose Haas,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I could do it all day with you, man.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, I love it. There are too many Jim Gantner
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: stories for one episode of your show. But I'll just
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: give you this one.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Jim Gantner was the first base coach in 97– And
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: one of the signs that the Brewers had on the
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: corners with the coaches was to blink to put a
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: bunt play on or not. Gant would wear his sunglasses
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: and blink and not understand why the guys at the
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: plate weren't getting the bunt sign put on. He's the
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: same guy also who on a road trip to Toronto
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: was not, he got stopped at the border and and
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: had to wait for a whole day where his clearance
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: had to check through and told everybody that he didn't
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: get into Canada because he forgot his gift certificate. This
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: is Jim Gantner at the peak of his power. Forgot
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: my gift certificate.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: It happens. He's beautiful.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: He's a beautiful man.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: All right, Matt, get out of here. All right, guys.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: We appreciate the time.
• 18:16

  Speaker 1: Yep, there is.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: It's the only way to describe why it rains every
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: week there.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: It's both a figurative and a literal thing that's happening
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: right now over MetLife.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Is that where the Army-Navy game is?
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Yep.

• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: 96.4% of the audience said there's always a dark cloud
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: permanently over MetLife Stadium.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Yep, a green one.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: You don't realize how bad you need a long snapper
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: until it's time to need a long snapper.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, 100%.
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: This is about as close to 100% as I think
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: these polls could get.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: 97.4% of the audience said yes.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Right. I mean, the 2.6, really. I was going to say,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: you just live a little. Live. Yes.
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: This is a big one for us from the college
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: football show with Bear.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: Can you say you love college football if you scheduled
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: a flight during Georgia-Alabama?
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: That was my poll question. I was shocked by it.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: We were all shocked by it. If you love college football,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: you've got to change that flight.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: I still don't understand the logic behind flying during that time.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I can give you the logic.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: His wife wants him home?
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Marriage, yes. Yeah, marriage.
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: I think that's one where you just have to say, like,
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: got called into a meeting Saturday night. We just have
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: to take the first flight out Sunday.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Just lie. You can't miss.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: You cannot miss Georgia-Alabama kickoff.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Mikey, he doesn't realize he's not married. He's single. He'll
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: realize one day, hopefully. They know when you're lying every
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: single time. They just know. You're better off just saying, listen, Alabama-Georgia,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I've got to watch it. I can't miss it. I'm
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: the bear. It's work. Yes, it is work. Yes. Anyway,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: keep going.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: He was in a race to get home to watch
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: the Jets on Sunday?
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: He was in a race to get home to make
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: his wife happy. That's it.
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: It's not a good sign when you get outcoached by
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: Lincoln Riley.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: You didn't give us the up.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's right.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: 76.3% of the audience said no. Bear cannot say he
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: loves college football anymore.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Poor Bear.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: He's going to have to earn his college football card back.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: Matt Campbell in Penn State. It's not a good sign
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: when you get outcoached by Lincoln Riley. In the wideout game.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, Matt Campbell wouldn't be at Penn State if
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: we had a 2014 playoff 10 years ago because James
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Franklin would be on the Mount Rushmore of Penn State coaches.
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: James Franklin would never give up that spot at Penn State.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: I wonder how many times Iowa State would have won
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: it with Matt Campbell.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: They would have been in a bunch.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: They've been a top 2014 consistently like the last eight years.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: 81.4% of the audience said yes, it's not a good
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: sign when Lincoln Riley outcoaches you.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: Big one here for Sean McVay.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: Is the answer to your problems.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Hold on. Okay.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: Is the answer to your problems ever on the Jets
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: practice squad?
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Cut his kicker and sign one off the Jets practice squad.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: That answer should be a resounding no.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: By the way, just a quick update.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Twice in the last five years, Iowa State would have.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Been in the league. I had him eight years consecutive.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: Rocco Beckton, those boys.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Thanks for looking it up. But still, I mean, Matt Campbell.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: First off, that Penn State job's not available.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: That's a larger point.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Because James Franklin would have gotten in every single year.
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: James Franklin might be at LSU.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: He would have been a hotter commodity than Lane Gibbon.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Might have. That's funny.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: Uh, 89.1% of the audience said, no, the answer to
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: your problems is never on the jets practice squad. This
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: one is from, from me. Can you say an Owen
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: five team is better than their record? Who was I
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: talking about?
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Uh, boy, let's look up at the Titans.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: I said the Titans are better than their own five record.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, you did.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: Uh, I think all the own five teams are better
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: than their record. The dolphins are for sure.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: No, they're not. I don't think so.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: No.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: Dolphins are in every game. What does the poll say? 61.3%
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: of the audience said no. You cannot say that. Felt
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: like the audience betrayed me there.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you can't say it. I'm with the audience.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe you betrayed the audience. Yes.
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: This is one for Stu Gatz because yesterday, Mikey, when
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: we were talking about what topics we had, Stu Gatz said, Hey,
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: I have more on Kelly Clarkson if we need it.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I have been fascinated by this story, man.
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: The poll question is, would you recognize Kelly Clarkson out
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: in public? I said I would, but now that I'm
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: thinking about it, and I saw the footage that Pablo
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: Torre finds out got, I don't think I would have
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: recognized Kelly Clarkson from any other white woman walking around Brooklyn.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Hmm.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: I think you would have said that kind of looks
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: like Kelly Clarkson, but you would not have been sure.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: I ran into Doug Flutie at Disney World and told
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: him he looks just like Doug Flutie.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: Did he say I am Doug Flutie?
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Sometimes. He did not. He did not. He played it off.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: He laughed. Really? He laughed.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: He goes, yeah, I get that. And then I noticed
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: that he was wearing a Buffalo Bills like training camp T-shirt.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: That's on you. Yeah.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: Hey, I was like 17.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: He wasn't all jacked up on that testosterone that him
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: and Frank Thomas do?
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Not yet. Not yet. He didn't need it yet.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: He was in the period where he was going to
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: need it.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Eugenics.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: Sponsor the show.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: We love eugenics.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: And we love testosterone. If they sponsor the show. Let's
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: be very clear. We love testosterone.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: All right? And the Big Hurt. And Doug Flutie. And Eugenics. Anyway.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: I can't say that with the porn music playing.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes. See? You're coming around. No, I'm not. You
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: call the porn music.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: I was reminding you of how bad that take was.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: Stu, this is a problem that I feel like a
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: lot of people are having now when it comes to sponsors.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: Where yesterday I was watching one of Big Cat's shows
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: from Barstool.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: And.
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: He was talking about how bad Milk Duds are, and like,
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: you know how you know when you eat a Milk
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: Dud when you're still chewing it? a week later, and
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: he was saying how terrible they are.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: I had no idea they were sponsoring the show. Hershey's.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Hershey's is sponsored. They own the brand.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, the guy's on so many shows talking on
• 27:40
