  Speaker 2: Armin Sarian.

  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. There's no algorithm. I appreciate you, Billy. That's
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: a compliment.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: No artificial intelligence or what did I hear we're calling
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: it now?

  Speaker 1: Super intelligence? Super intelligence. So SI's back. Finally, SI's back.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Holy cow. That's another thing. Holy cow. They're also artificial
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: once again. That's another thing I subscribe to.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Well, you dreamed of it. You always dreamed of it. No,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: I actually had that. You can never make a computer
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: system look and sound like Armin Sarian.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: There's just no way. Can't do it. I hope not.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Because if I do, I'm out of a job. You've
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: been approximated. No chance. Or else maybe I'll finally have
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the distribution I expected.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Maybe. 877-794-1973.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Hot take hump days upon us. All right, hot take. Okay,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: hot take. The Brewers had a little gathering on the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: plaza outside American Family Field yesterday. That was awesome. Playoff
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: ticket sales and to juice things, right?
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, kickoff playoff ticket sales that drew were kicked off, scored, spiked,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and over. about six hours before the event happened. I'm
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: not surprised Brewers fans want those tickets, and they were coveted,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: and they quickly got smashed up there.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: And people went to the windows. Usually buying tickets now,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: you roll out of bed in your bathrobe, you fire
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: up the laptop, and you're good to go. But people
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: actually went and got tickets. So they did a robust
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: business because people are excited about the playoffs. Then they
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: had this pep rally party broadcast, and Billy was our
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: boots on the ground. What was it like?
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: The energy was, I'll be honest with you guys, pretty impressive.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: There was not only exciting for the younger millennials of
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Jeff Jenkins and Corey Hart talking to them. guys and
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: uh get taking some pictures with folks out there they
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: had brady and um brady and trey evil the evil
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: brothers were there and they were handing out some popsicles
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: which was a good which was a big win in
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: our family that's awesome big win and when it's 60
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: degrees big win 60 degrees and when you're a kiddo
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: you still want it it didn't matter i liked it
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: and uh the one year old was just just hand
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: all over the popsicle. I think we had like three
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: different changes of clothes that we needed for him at
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: that point. But the play area was open. There were
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: a ton of people in line. We got there maybe 25,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: 30 minutes before it started, before they opened up the gates.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: And by that, let the first person grab the first
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: free t-shirt that they had.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Best part of the t-shirts, Drew? Sizes. Oh, really? Human sizes. Right.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: From adult, small... Well, that's kind of a stretch. To
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee's size.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: 2XL. Yeah. Right? Double X.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Gotta have the double X if we're going to be
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: in Milwaukee. I'm assuming that was like the gilded cotton,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: like the basic. They shrink a lot. So like small
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: is ambitious. But I guess for the girls and for
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the kids and stuff like that.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Probably for the kiddos. Yeah. Probably for the kiddos too.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: But I'm glad they had the real Milwaukee sizes.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Because you need some. You need something like that. Plenty
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: of beer stands open throughout the gates. They probably could
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: have had maybe one or two more areas for people
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: to buy food. I don't know that they planned on
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: as many people saying, sweet, go get.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Dinner, watch the game.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: People had a ton more people at lawn chairs than
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I would have thought. We love to gather in Milwaukee.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: And I should have anticipated, Drew.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: As we mentioned, KB, a number of times here today,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: what did KB always say? There's concrete.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: We're going to drink on it. Might as well drink
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: on it. People brought lawn chairs. No coolers because no
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: outside beverages. We want to make sure that you're getting
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: that $ 5 Miller Lite because legendary moments start with a light.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: There were a lot of legendary moments starting up there
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: last night. Timmy D was doing some crowd work early on.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Vinny Rotino did a nice Q & A with Jeff Jenkins,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Corey Hart, the Ebel brothers were up there. They had
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: a couple other young men that were the draft picks
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: this year. Jones, Kyle Jones, sound correct? Maybe third round
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: draft pick.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: And the young man.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I want to say his name is Sawyer Strohsmeyer. Strohsmeyer.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: The kid whose dad caught the home run. Yes, yeah.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: For the Timber Rattlers.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Strohsneider. Strohsneider, thank you.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Sawyer Strohsneider from TCU. You were right about Kyle Jones, Florida.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, perfect. Yes, Gator.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: And Sawyer tells a story about his pops was actually
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: leaving later that night.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: To go down.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: It was the last game in the run that he
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: was going to be able to see him watch. He
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: gets to not only see, but catch his kid's first
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: professional home run.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: So that was really, really cool.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Vinny Rotino did a great job making sure that the
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Ebel brothers let everybody know they're cheering for the Brewers
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: this year. No longer cheering for Dino and Dad and
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. All right, we're out on that. Yes.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: We're out on that. But it was, all in all,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: a very.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I thought optimistic group of Brewers fans that generally drew.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: There was nothing else happening last night around this.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Our boy, Ken Spindler. wheeling out these massive heaters. He said,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: it's going to get a little chilly out here, so
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: we are not taking any chances. I saw him working,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: bringing a bunch of heaters out there, trying to fire
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: it up. There were a lot of people that I
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: think just wanted to be around it. Almost how Paul
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Horning said Packers fans would always be.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: They just want to be around it. This gets me, though,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: because my suggestion is there is no Deer District per se.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: They're trying to create it, and I get it. But
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: that plaza that they're building and what you experienced last night,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: to me, It's going to be great on a Tuesday
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: night in June or July. That's when it's going to
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: be cool. But for the playoffs, I don't understand why
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the Brewers don't just– why they just don't open up
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the ballpark and let people watch on TV. And I
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: get it because it's hard to gauge with staffing and
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: how many ushers do we have a week. Shut down
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the upper deck for starters. But if the Brewers play
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: in the World Series on the road, you can't tell
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: me that people, 30,000 people won't go there and drink.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I agree. At the ballpark. Because there is no deer district.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: And Billy and I were talking off the air when
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the Bucks had their run and it was magical. Part
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of it is warped in our memory because it was
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: in July. It was nice. In the summer, yeah.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Gorgeous.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: In the dead of summer. Those nights were incredible. it's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: a different vibe when it's 55 and sleeting and not great. Right.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: So it's the roof, right?
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: So you have the roof. So to me, it's like,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: why wouldn't you explore that? And I get there, there
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: are logistic things, but other ballparks do it. Yeah.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: A lot of other ones do it. And now maybe it's, Again,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: maybe they do, maybe they don't. Maybe they have more
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: plans with the construction, but you're not starting that while
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: you know you're going to be playing playoff games. None
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: of the trust club issue or build is going to
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: be interfered with because you're getting ready to play games.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: It's ready. It's functional. It's open.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: And I thought last night what you got was, Drew,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: people just wanted to be there. People wanted to see
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: other fans and talk more about it.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: And that's what'll happen when the playoffs are. We love
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: to gather. Yeah, absolutely. So you're looking for somewhere to...
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: And they've done it in the past. They've done it different,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: like pop-ups and stuff. They've done... kind of watch parties.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: We tried one on like 35th Street last year. The
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Harley Campus.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: And it's like, well, just open up the ballpark.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: You know, we like to gather and as a community,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: especially in sports, are one of the things that do
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: this more than anything now. And it just makes sense.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: You talk about revenue driving. I mean, that's a revenue
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: driver right there. You can bring people in the ballpark.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Yes and no. Yes and no, because you've got to
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: pay the ushers. You've got to pay the vendors. But
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: there's got to be a margin. You're making a profit.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: There should be, but is it a loss? And even
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: if it is a loss, is it worth it to
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: create that I was a juice. And then one of
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the finals that I serve was fun. If you're going
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: to do it, do you have to do it from
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the start or do you have, wait, okay, we'll wait
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: till the LCS and then see. Cause we, you know,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: what if, if the brewers let's, Oh, heaven forbid, let's
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: throw it out there. Let's say they clinch the national
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: league pennant and happens to be on the road. Like,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and they cut to a shot of, you know, 30,000
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: people at Ampham going nuts. And think you can have
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the same kind of thing. Like, you know, Rock's not
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: doing anything during the playoffs. They're not really involved. Have them,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: you know, MC, get the place going.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I love that idea because they also, I mean, now
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know where they are in the full winterization
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: of the ballpark.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: That's not a part of it. But it's also not needed.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: The thing is, you close that up, and 25,000, 30,000 people,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: we're going to heat ourselves.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: That's going to be warm enough in there. Well, if
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: you're going to play a game in there, you can
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: have a watch party. It'll be comfortable.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: The other thing is, Drew, there's the double-edged spear of
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: the Bucs playoff run. It was later than any playoff
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: run would be, and our minds are totally warped in
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: April compared to October. Last night, I'm standing out there,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: and as a 300-pounder, Your boy sweats going to turn
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: on the heat. I'm standing in line there for about
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: 10 minutes. Look over at my wife and go, oh,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: my goodness.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I'm a little chilly.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: And that outside plaza is a wind tunnel.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, big time.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Where they have it right now with a little stanchion,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: which was really, really cool for some pictures.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: That's over by our press entrance there over by the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: right field corner. I don't know how Hunter doesn't get
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: blown over. It's tough.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: He could definitely get caught up in one of those
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: 35 degree gusts and it can be it can be
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: chilly out there. So I don't know how long you're
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: going to get people to wait outside. But people want
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: to be doing something about it because there are a
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: lot of different friends of mine that have moved out
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: of the area. you know lived here for college a
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: couple years after we went out The Deer District is
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: the number one thing people ask me about.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I'm like, never as good as it was there. It's
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: a memory.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Never as good as that one was. This one would
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: make a ton of memories in that state.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: And the thing is, people want to do something that
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: everyone else is doing, right? You want to be where
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: it becomes a cool thing to do. It becomes this
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: thing where everyone was doing. That's why the Deer District
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: started to become a bigger and bigger thing because everyone
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: else is doing it. Everyone's having fun. Young people were
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: having fun going there. you know, can you kind of
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: recapture that the weather's a little different, but last night
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: reminded me of, I went to the, uh, when the
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: brewers used to have the Arctic tailgate, I remember going
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: to that years ago and it was freezing and people
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: will go line up to get tickets and have fun
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: and get a free brat. I just think we like
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: doing stuff like that. So I think it's a good
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: idea to try it. Maybe it won't hit.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Right away, but it will eventually will build momentum.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: That Arctic tailgate drew is the one that I think
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: of in my mind, the most of the difference between
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Opening day 15 years ago and where it is now.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: That Arctic tailgate, like it was to get people excited.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: It was to drum things up. It was to make
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: sure that you got your opening day tickets. Because if
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: you didn't get them there, you were not going. Now,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: that is not nearly the kind of spectacle it is.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Opening day lost is lost or the kids don't go
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: there and drink anymore. They ditched our tradition.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Did the playoffs also do something to it? Like, opening
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: day was the best game for a long time.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: That's true. It was the highlight of the season. It
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: was the highlight of the season.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Now people are like, yeah, if I've got to spend
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: $ 100 for.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: This game, I might as well wait, and then I
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: can maybe get something at the lowest level. Go see
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: them play the Cubs in June or something. Right.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: I can hold that thing off and get one of
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: these bigger games. That's right.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: 877-794-1973. So here I am suggesting how they run their business.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: They're doing a good job of it. But I think
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: opening the ballpark up for those road games would be cool.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Don't have to do it for all of them, but maybe...
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: special or potential clinchers or something. And then you got
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: to build it and you got to do it at
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: a point. And then if they do were to play
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: a road game in the World Series, where would you
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: rather be than American Family Field? If you can't be
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: at the game on the road, you want to be
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: at American Family Field.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: The tough one is, Drew, you hit it on the head.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: They're going to take, Bath might be a little dramatic
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: right out of the gates. It's probably going to lose
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: right out of the gate. It's going to lose money.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: It's going to lose money in the first couple of days.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: When do you gouge? Well, you're going to sell merch.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: You're going to sell, you do pop-ups. You're going to
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: sell some concessions. Do you charge people for parking? Do
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: you charge people to get in? Do you have five
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: bucks to get in for Brewers Charities or whatever? It's
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: something like that, yeah. Do you let them park for
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: free and then five bucks to get in? I think
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: it was ten for the bucks. And sit where you
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: want and just, you know. It was ten for the
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: bucks to FI surf? I think so.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: At the finals in game one. And what would you
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: say the crowd was there?
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: At least half. At least halfway full? I would say
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: lower bowl. It was fun. Yeah, lower bowl. Maybe even more.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: That's what you'd be looking at. Yeah. You also have
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: one of the best screens in the city, too.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: The best TV to watch the game would be standing
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: right there in center field at AmFam.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: It'd be one thing if you had.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: The older scoreboard, maybe, where it was half the size,
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: but you've got that big screen now.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, everyone can see it. You wouldn't be in
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the bleachers, obviously. That's right. No, but you could be
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: still getting some heavenly roasted nuts. Gotta get those nuts.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Big time.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: You tell me people don't want to go get some
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: concessions and play at the.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: And I get it because when you don't know when
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: you're going to play, it's hard to schedule out and
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: get your ushers and stuff. It'd be hard logistically, I
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: get it, but other teams do it. Well, you have
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: to sign up for potential games.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: That's a true one, too. I think also the start
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: times might be... That's a little iffy as well. Iffy.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I'm going to turn it around on a positive. But
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: if you're going to do stuff on the plaza, you've
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: got to staff that too. You've got to staff that too.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: They were running.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: They were working.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: If it's a 5 o'clock start, that might even be
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: better for Wisconsinites. We know how much we like happy
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: hours maybe a tick more.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: It's an early rise in city, early rise in town.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: So you grab us a 5.30 start in L.A. for
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: game three, fill that place up with 25,000. When you
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: start celebrating a 2-1 series lead because you win that game,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: oh my goodness, it's a different story.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: We've hosted make-up games before. Obviously, the flood games. We've
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: hosted make-up games.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: People will go there, do the wave for $ 5, $ 10.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: That's true. There is some precedent. Would you be okay
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: with the wave at this one?
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah uh because it's like you know okay you wouldn't
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: judge anybody for doing the wave and having fun at
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: this one i can't guarantee i won't judge people but
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: i'm not gonna like make as big as think about
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: it as i would normally.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Time for a little who's hot who's not brought to
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: us by donovan jorgensen heating and cooling the hvac experts
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: in our area who's hot who's not like Packers injury report,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: not hot. Not hot. Not hot.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Not hot Jackson Dart, man. Yesterday, it sounded like he
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: was going to be out for about four to six weeks.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Then into the afternoon, different tests showed the Giants quarterback
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: might be looking at, as they said, a much more
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: severe injury than initially anticipated and expected.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: He might be out for the year there in New York.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Talk about getting slow rolled. I mean, Giants fans thought
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: they were kind of out of the woods. And then
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: the next thing they go, no, it's actually that bad.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: They went from having to take this young man's helmet
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: and jersey to keep him from going back into the
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: game with torn ligaments in his knee.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Crazy. And instead, you get carted off for other things.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Chris, Jonathan Brooks running back for the Carolina Panthers is
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: going to be out for at least six weeks with surgery.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: That is not hot. Hot.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: The Tampa Bay Rays, they got to celebrate in the
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Yankees clubhouse last night. And I think maybe the best
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: part of this is they were playing a double header.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: They needed one on their magic number. Drew, they lost
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: game two, or game one to nothing. I'm not going
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: to say that the Rays were happy with that result.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: But with Drew Rasmussen on the bump coming up in
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: game two, knowing that you're going to have a long,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: still have to play the game later that night. You
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: still have to get dressed in that same clubhouse. maybe
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: you could see that the Rays' motivation was a little
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: bit different in their 6-1 victory in game number two.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: A little bit.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: It was a little bit hotter, and they were a
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: little bit more excited to celebrate there.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati Reds might not be hot all year, but they
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: were hot last night as they get the victory for
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the crew.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: 4-0 win as they beat the Atlanta Braves and book
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: the Brewers in for a first round by Ellie De
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: La Cruz. Two hits and a homer in that game.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: He has been hot. You look at Elie De La
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Cruz's numbers over the last two months. He has been
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: rolling power-wise. Has been phenomenal. Month of September, Elie De
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: La Cruz slashing 406, 494 with a slugging percentage of 826.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Really good. That's crazy. He's fulfilling that potential they saw
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: in him. He's got eight homers and five doubles on
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: 28 hits in the month and has driven in 16.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: He's also walked 12 times.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: He struck out 22, but a pretty game good run.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: The Reds tried to make that move, and he said, what,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: I have higher aspirations than playing for the Reds?
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Something like that. They tried to give him a 10-year deal,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: and he turned it down. He said, no, thank you.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: He has higher aspirations than playing for the Reds. Ouch.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: Ouch.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Emotional damage. Emotional damage. I'm a Cincinnati fan. And last one,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: who's not hot? Sean Payton. Not for anything about the
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. This is good.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald, head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, says that
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: the Broncos wrongly accused Seattle of cheating in their preparation
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: for the 2024 season opener. Sean Payton ultimately backed off
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks, threatening a lawsuit if Denver went public with
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: the allegation.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: According to McDonald, the saga came to light.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: The clip surfaced on Tuesday night. McDonald recently published in
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: an episode of his The Sweet podcast that this guy
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Graham Benzinger.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: He's getting some amazing reviews. He gets everybody.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Everybody.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: He gets everybody and everybody.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: seemingly like how Taylor Rooks and Kay Adams generally get
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: the best answers out of players.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: He seems to get it by asking the question slowly
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: like this and stopping.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Really deliberate hold and wait. He said, we were in
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: the middle. We were in a fight in our first year.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: There was a lot going on. So he called John,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: basically threatened to come out publicly and do a whole Patriots.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Spygate type thing. Sean Payton. No one's got to cheat
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: against you, brother. No one's got to cheat against you.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: It's okay.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Calm down. Not everybody's out to freaking get you, Sean Payton.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: I've never heard of somebody more worried and frustrated.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Al Davis!
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: He's the NFL version of Al Davis now that the
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: whole league is out to get you, Sean. Yes, that
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: is exactly why you haven't won another Super Bowl.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: That's why. There you go. Who's hot, who's not? Donovan Jorgensen. DonovanJorgensen.com.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Employee owned since 1985.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: 0% financing up to 60 months on select systems.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Going on right now. DonovanJorgensen.com. Right now. Place to go.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: All right. When we come back, I've got a candidate
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: in mind for our current electric superhero of the day.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Take your thoughts. What should the Brewers do? They want
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: to create this, and I get it. They're putting money
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: into this plaza, and it's going to be cool, but
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I see that as a regular season stop. Postseason, different.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Feels like a great thing for the middle of July.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Not as much in the middle of October. So much.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Cold beer works out well. Yeah. It's unseasonably chilly.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: I would like it maybe if they fired up some
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: of Armin's chili in there. Then maybe the party really
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: would fire up. Would be a great place for, they
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: had a couple of food trucks there.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, that Red Tacos place is unbelievable. You needed
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: something warm because it was cold, man. I don't know.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: I know people like fall, but it's depressing for me.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: When that weather starts to hit and I'm like, oh,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: summer's over. Sorry, it was a bummer. I was in
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: a bad mood when I felt that weather.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I believe it.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: I like taking my walks with the warm weather. How
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: many walks did you actually take this year?
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: No, I tried as much as I could.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: The schedule does affect things that we're on, but I
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: tried as much as I could to take some. Even
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: if it was just around the block, you know. You
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: got to get out there and breathe some fresh air.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: But now but now that brisk wind is blowing through
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: a man.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: It's impressive. That's what I did. Okay. You got the
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: first guy to think of that, William. All right.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Cause it's an easy fix. It's the easiest thing. You
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: throw a sweatshirt on. You actually sweat more. You get
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: more out of the workout. It's better for you.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I know you get more out of it, but you
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: do keep yourself warm, yes. You sweat more. You burn
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: more calories. In essence, you get more out of it.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Is that true? I don't know. Our current electric superhero
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: of the day got some candidates for you. Call Current.com,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: the website. Superheroes on the side of the van and inside,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: helping you keep your family safe and keep your electricity going.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: They were in my neighborhood yesterday. Oh, yeah?
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Did the boys see the superheroes? He goes, Daddy, look
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: at that. That's what I'm talking about, buddy. That's an
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: actual superhero. Spider-Man on your shirt, not the one. You
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: see the logo? It's fun. Those are cool cars. The
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: logo's cool. I would single out Jordan Love for his
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Hands of Love Foundation donation to support rebuilding efforts in Menasha.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you went there.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: 45K.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: And, Drew, it's always my favorite conversation when somebody who
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: has the funds and has the means does give back
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: and donate. There's immediately clapback of either, why was it
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: not more? Or it was a tax write-off and why
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: is it now? Why do we have to know about it?
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: All three of those answers can be summed up in
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: one beautiful thing. Just not doing it.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Sweet!
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: I don't have to answer any of your dumb questions
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: by just ignoring it and letting the team give out
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: the money. $ 45, 000 to those that desperately need it. I'm
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: right there with you. That is a very, very big win.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: And also, I imagine maybe you got.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Tugged at the heartstrings a little bit more, and it
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: probably became even more real when those Menasheb guys came up,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: the football team, went to practice on that Sunday and
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: got to hang out with Watson and Love after practice.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: A cool moment. Yeah, and Jordan Love donated some of
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: it is earmarked to replace playground equipment and stuff, which
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: is cool. It's like looking out for kids. Puts out
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: what and where it can go to and who it
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: can benefit. You're right, but then it's like, well, why
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: didn't he give out? He's got all the money. It's
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: just a tax write-off. Big deal. He's doing it for PR. Well,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: shut up. How much did you give? How much did
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: you give? And guess what? Again, it's very easy to
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: just do what a... Don't do nothing. Don't do nothing.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Do nothing and let the.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: I say, well, the organization did, and I'm very, very
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: happy to be a part of it, and I really
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: appreciate that. They look out for the people of Wisconsin
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: and the fans. And then the conversation's over. So that
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: is a winner, no doubt about it. I have one
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: other decent one here that came to us from Fox 6.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: You guys know Keith Tozer? Former Milwaukee Wave coach. Legend. Legend.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: He survived cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest. Wow.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Has a beautiful piece beyond the game that our friend TVV,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Tim Van Voren, did at Fox 6, talking about Keith
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Tozer's new tattoo that he's got and the battle that
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: he had gone through health-wise.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Keith Tozer is one of the nicest human beings in
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: the world. He is absolutely. I'm going to toast forever.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: One of the nicest human beings in the world.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: And.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: also one of the winningest individuals in the world so
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: hey man shout out keith tozer taught uh tried to
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: potentially teach this pear-shaped individual how to kick the soccer
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: ball correctly at one of those wave camps the camp
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: yeah was not figuring it out i was not figuring
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: it out to keep the key perspective but he tried
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: he tried and then decided okay these are actual soccer
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: players i'm gonna go work with these kids but One
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: of the absolute greatest dudes, and happy to hear that
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: he's doing much better now.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: That's fantastic news. Yeah, absolutely. He had a heart attack
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: at Boston Logan Airport. My goodness. My goodness. Wow. Was
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: this recent, or it was? November 12th. November 12th.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: I guess you could say that you're very fortunate for
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: where it happens right there.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. He was at the top
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: of an escalator, and he remembers nothing until waking up
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: in the hospital as he's being given last rites and
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: wheeled towards surgery. Oh, my God. But a SUNY upstate
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: medical student, Anne-Marie Marquis, performed CPR and saved his life.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Just incredible. Incredible. What a story. And you're right, Billy.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: You're there.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: A lot of people are there, first responders. A lot
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: of different walks of life at the airport. You found
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: someone that, there you go, medical student.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: He started compression. I had someone go get one of
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: those AED devices.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: She saved his life.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: And a shout out to the, the training that you
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: go through for these, those AED devices. Cause every, you know,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: coach in high school and youth sports, we'll do it
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: every other year. And there's a lot of times that
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: you think like, okay, well, what am I doing? If
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: you don't focus on it, it'll be the one time
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: that you do desperately need it. That all of a
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: sudden you start freaking out. So to be calm, cool,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: and collected in.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: That moment, big, big time, big time.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Wow. So shout out Keith Tozer. Anytime that we can
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: mention Keith Tozer, I'm going to be happy. And to
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: celebrate that is phenomenal.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: So much charitable work in the community. You're right. And
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: he's a great dude to hang with. He's got great
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: stories because he was coaching the LA Lasers indoor team.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: He hung out with Dr. Buss and Jeannie Buss.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: He had offices with the Lakers.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Lakers. And then when Gretzky was there, he was
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: in the forum for all of that. He had a
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: front row seat for the Mecca.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Now, Drew, you're in the conversations. You contribute to the conversations.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Every once in a while, I'm in one of those
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: spots and I'm sitting around and there's the cans being
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: held and stories like the one that you just mentioned
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: of Keith Tozer is being told. And you look around
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: and you're like, I got nothing to contribute to this.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: except the laughs because this is way too good.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: There are some.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Phenomenal ones that he can fire out. He has got
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: some great ones. You sit back, he just never wanted
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: to end.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: He was the mainstay of a team that was the
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: mainstay of indoor soccer for years and still is, the
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Milwaukee Wave.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: He was coming back from a futsal clinic, coach's certification
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: clinic when he had the heart attack. It's just wild. Wow.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: And like, if you're looking for those signs, like the
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: woman who saved him, the medical student was named Anne
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Marie and he has a, his grandmothers are named Anne
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: and Marie. Oh my goodness. Wow. Sometimes that makes you
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: want to think. So it's like, yeah.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Oh man.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: That is incredible stuff. Guardian angels. Guardian angels.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Indeed.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Indeed.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Great.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Great to hear he's doing well and he's okay. Uh,
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: let me get some, uh, some messages in here. You
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: get a lot of stuff on YouTube and then text line.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: My computer's frozen, so I can't get the text.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Line, but that's not what I like to hear. No,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: that's okay.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: We're fighting through it back here. A stall rev morning
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: for Northeast Texas.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Where it's 98 degrees.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: No need for me to have sweat gear. Well, I
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: guess so. I should, I should, uh, ask, be careful
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: what I wish for. If I don't want the cooler weather,
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: I definitely don't want 98 degrees either. Um, and he said,
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: these guys are always getting it up for donations.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: We should be happy. They give in the end, but
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: by the way, to, to circle back to the, uh,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Tozer thing? Yes. Our buddy Mike Heller had a cardiac episode. Yes,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: he did. And Tozer's like as fit as it comes.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: He still looks like he could play. Correct, Drew.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Very important to say. And that's the thing. It's like
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: that's why you got to go to the doctor every year, folks.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: And he had– it wasn't like not working out or anything.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: He had like a hereditary heart condition that he inherited,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: like a mitral valve prolapse or something like that. So
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of people have those. There's stuff in my
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: family that I got to be nervous about. You just
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: have to– Got to monitor it, man, especially in this age.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Dude, and Drew, I'm glad you said it because I've
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: been probably the worst at it. I didn't even know
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: the login to the MyChart thing. And you start learning
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: a lot. Some friends of yours have situations that very,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: very quickly take them from you. And just understanding what's
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: going on in your body, what has been going on
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: in your family's history is so important. So, yeah, that's
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: a huge one to have because we always hear about
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: it when it's too late of the early detection.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: But then it's before anything actually happens, you do have
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: to be proactive with it. It's important, important stuff. And
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: you might save yourself by doing it. It's good to
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: be an active member of your own health like that.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Cardiac issues and colonoscopies, man. Just get your checkups. Go
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: to the doctor. Yeah, the colonoscopy one is huge now.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Huge. It is, especially for younger guys. It is the
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: earlier the better to get the first one. Because then
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: you're in the system.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: And then, you know. You establish care in the system.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: You establish the care in the system. Yeah, yeah.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: And then they're going to call you every couple of years,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: and then you're going to remember to do it. And then,
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't know, maybe you take a day
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: off and you can get a good clean out.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: There you go. You get a text alert probably and
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: a reminder. People say you need to diet. You're like, no,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I just need to go in and get checked. Absolutely. Sweet,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: seven pounds down right out of the gates. Let's go.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: And then you get pizza after. Or burgers. Or burgers.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Whichever one you want.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, either. Either one.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Love it. Leagues and stuff in the background. It's
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: such a cool place to watch a game. You know
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: what else rocks? Iron jock gear. Check it out. Paulie Hanson.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Huddle 35 gets you 35% off all the gear with
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: a $ 50 purchase. Check it out at ironjoc.com. Shout out
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: to Paulie Hanson. Thinking of us, huddle 35. Indeed. Great time.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Huddled up.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Brewers also got to get a win here. They got
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: to get back to 40 games over 500. This is
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: a little ridiculous.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: What's going on with this team? They're collapsing. Got to
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: get to 100. 40 over.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Now, would it be a disappointment at this point if
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: they didn't get the old 100 and they.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Sputtered to the finish? Yeah, considering they got to go, what,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: two and three? I think some people would be disappointed.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to say it'd be crestfallen, but you
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: do kind of just expect it to happen. Then again,
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: last night in like the I call it the tinker,
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: the tinker bowl. Like they're just tinkering around now with
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: different guys and trying to see what works. And obviously they,
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: they still almost won. Like they still came back on
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: Zach Wheeler and tied it up. They still had a rally.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Going in the night.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: It just, that's, what's amazing about this team.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Like even when they throw Colton, you know, Gordon out there,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: it sounds like a country singer. They still definitely. crushed
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: and almost won.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: That was, to me, what's most impressive about this team
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: is that even the Knights, I'm not saying try to lose,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: but they know that the goals are different for that night, maybe.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Let's put it that way. They still almost win those games.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: But it'd be nice to see because the Phillies, they're
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: magic numbers, too. So they're going to be super motivated,
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: fired up to try and get a celebration started. So
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: it won't be easy to win one of these games
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: here while they're trying to clinch.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: It would be nice to get a win, though. You're right, Bill.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: You've got to right the ship. We've got to figure
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: this out. We've got to right the ship.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: I like seeing Contreras with the big hit and obviously
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: the sack fly last night. Not that people are worried
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: about wild Bill once the playoffs come.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Maybe a little bit of a showman.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Lights come on. Might show off a little bit better.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Last 15 days, OPS is over 1,000. Month of September,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: OPS is over 900. With the highest slugging percentage that
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: he's had this year by far, by over almost 100 points.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: So him swinging the best version of his bat. Again,
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: you go back to the deadline, and I saw this
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: last night with Dustin May being the big-time acquisition.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: We can only get a couple innings out of him,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: and this is ridiculous. What are we doing here? We
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: needed more offense.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: The best offense that they were going to get in
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: the stretch run was going to be their offensive players
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: playing better. And I think in September, as much as
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: they've kind of run away and hid with this thing,
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: one of the deals that's flown a little bit under
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: the radar is Yelich, albeit on this last trip, not
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: necessarily hitting the best. I think it's like two for
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: 21 maybe on this trip. Contreras getting hot. Churrio has
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: been a lightning rod in the box. And don't look now,
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Bryce Terangue. has been in and out of the Mayor
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: of Slum City chair for a while, Drew. It feels
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: like he has left that key in the office and
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: shut the door.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing. With the time off the Brewers are
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: going to have, if you're hot going in, does it
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: matter if you come back? If you're 0-4 in the
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: first game, back in game one.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: We've been looking for data points for a long time.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: I know. And they just can't. It's a little bit
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: like the end of spring training. A lot of guys say,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: I don't want to waste my bullets now. But you
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: also want to beat You want to be doing your
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: normal stuff, right? You don't want to be trying anything.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: You don't want to be slumping. You don't want to
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: be like scorching hot because then you might be worried
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: about going cold. It's like, just do what you do. Luckily,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Jake Bowers had quelled that worry for me. All right.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: He came out as the hottest hitter in the Arizona
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: complex and then came out and was their best offensive player.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: So he's like the complete opposite of a Brad Nelson, right?
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Totally.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Did not catch the over 20 bug as he got
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: up to the big leagues.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: Did not.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: But the highway is littered with guys who were stars
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: in the Cactus League and then crashed back to Earth.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: So speaking of what we wonder what the Brewers are
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: going to do with the playoffs on the plaza and
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: the viewing parties, you think they.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Do the cool little.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Game with the fans in the stands coming up or
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: they just do the intense workouts like.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: They did last year?
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Hard to say their plan for the week off last
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: year didn't work.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. I wonder how Murph will do it.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Murph wasn't thrilled with that, I don't think. I don't
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: think he loved the idea.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: I know Seattle had like 35,000 that were there for
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: a game.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know exactly how you do that. Maybe it is.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Better, as long as you know that nobody's going to
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: take one off the hand on some live BP. But
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: it's a hell of a balancing act. You have to
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: see live pitching in that week. You can't go five
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: days without seeing live pitching. And then the most important
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: at-bat of the season is coming up there against maybe
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Christopher Sanchez. or a Matthew Boyd if it's the Cubs,
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: or insert whoever you want for the Padres. They've got
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: a nice rotation there. It could be Michael King. It
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: could be anybody else. You don't want that to be
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: your first taste of live pitching in a week, but
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: hard to be able to figure out how you actually
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: simulate it.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: That's the thing. Everyone tries to strike that balance.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: Everyone struggles to do it, to find a trend, to
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: try and take advantage of it, and it's hard to
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: do that in these situations.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: To the point and pull back a little bit, if
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: you're going to let people in to watch a workout,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Why not let them in to watch a game on
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: TV when the team's on the road? Come on, Drew.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: What are we doing here?
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Again, just an easy way of carving out some chance
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: for you to make some more money.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: I know that we're running a business here. It comes
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: with expenses. You've got to pay ushers, parking lot attendants.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: You've got to pay security.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Especially if you've got $ 5 cans of ice-cold Miller Lite
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: like you did last night.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: People are trying to have a legendary night with a Lite.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Giddy up. Fire them things up. It's going to work.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: It's going to work out well. I don't know. 50-50 raffle?
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Because if you're going to open it up, you might
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: as well make some money. Might as well gamble, right?
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Might as well have a couple in there. How about
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: a couple of nice little comments here that we've gotten here?
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Who wins a chili cook-off, Billy and Armin? We already
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: know the answer to that one, Mike Witt.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: It's me. Yeah, Billy's got the smoker advantage.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Drew, Billy, and Armin, heroes for getting up so early,
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: keeping us informed, rain, snow, or shine.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Appreciate that, but we are indoors, so don't give us
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: too much credit. I mean, that's what I'm talking about.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: We do appreciate that.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Mike, I don't want to end it this way, but
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: he asks, who has the worst September Packers all-liner, Kyle Harrison?
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: Come on, why'd you have to do that? Kyle Harrison's
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: September might be over. The Packers' offensive line is not.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: They still got one more.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: That is a good point.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Does he get another opportunity? Is he ready-set Cabo or
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: ready-set Complex League?
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: He'll pitch again before the end of the season. This week,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: he'll pitch again. Maybe they're just putting stuff in the
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: tank for next year, you know? By the way, a
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: name that I hadn't heard, Quinn Priester, on the road
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: with the Brewers.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been hanging out with that sweet hoodie.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: He's been getting the hoodie. Yeah, Quinn Priester back around.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: First time he's been around all year. Good for him.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: I did see... He was going to talk to Wheeler
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: about the thoracic outlets. Syndrome surgery and stuff.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Do you think he was a little disappointed he didn't
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: get to party with the boys on the celebration? Or
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: he's like, I'll just leave that one. I'll get the
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: one next year.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: He'll be around for the rest of them. That's true.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: He'll be there for the playoff ones. He'll get there
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: for the good ones. Won't mind cashing that playoff check share. No,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: he'll get one. He'll get a share. He'll get a share.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: All right, so tomorrow it's a game day edition. We'll
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: be talking Packers-Falcons. Today's a walkthrough day. There's no media access.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: No nothing, really.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Not a thing, no, and it probably slows down Micah Parsons' return,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: but we'll be hot coming out on the line tomorrow
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: at 6.50.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: We'll see you tomorrow at 5. Peace!
