0:02
Speaker 1: Huddled up on a Tuesday. Club going up on a Tuesday. Drew,
0:06
Speaker 1: Billy and Armor of the Band is back together for
0:08
Speaker 1: this hour of the program. What a treat to have
0:11
Speaker 1: us all back. The training camp is underway. Billy's hosting
0:14
Speaker 1: Training Camp live live from the Perch from eleven to one.
0:18
Speaker 1: Armin back from his wedding. Feels so good to be reunited.
0:21
Speaker 1: Look at us and none of us got traded.
0:23
Speaker 2: I love that.
0:24
Speaker 3: I love that none of us got off this big
0:26
Speaker 3: league club. All we did was at everybody happy this
0:28
Speaker 3: morning here here with the selection process yesterday as al
0:31
Speaker 3: fa o'clock.
0:32
Speaker 2: You know happy.
0:33
Speaker 1: The Brus did something I give them. I can't see
0:36
Speaker 1: it in my cold gray sports writer heart to give
0:38
Speaker 1: them higher than a serious C plus for their sure endeavors.
0:41
Speaker 1: Because of what other teams did. We were saying, I
0:44
Speaker 1: have it's not the The Dodgers aren't the only Southern
0:47
Speaker 1: California team to envy. The Padres got Robbie Ray and
0:50
Speaker 1: Casey Mais. Had had the bird Has gotten those two guys,
0:52
Speaker 1: we'd be like, all right, let's go.
0:53
Speaker 2: Oh, you'd be juiced and well.
0:55
Speaker 3: And the Padres also did something that a lot of
0:57
Speaker 3: people didn't do something, and a lot of people wanted
0:59
Speaker 3: him do it. Just trade either of their top top
1:02
Speaker 3: two relievers. I mean, I know we talked a lot
1:04
Speaker 3: about Mason Miller, the other guy was phenomenal as well,
1:08
Speaker 3: and they tried to act like they were maybe gonna
1:10
Speaker 3: be dealing him. They're going for it, and Preller always
1:13
Speaker 3: wants to go for it. The scene at c Pluster,
1:15
Speaker 3: I think is that's correct on the major league scale.
1:18
Speaker 3: I also had looked at it at just like the
1:20
Speaker 3: Brewer scale and at the two o'clock Brewer scale, where
1:23
Speaker 3: I did resign myself to the fact that these were
1:26
Speaker 3: the horses that got you the best record in baseball,
1:27
Speaker 3: and that's probably what they're running with.
1:29
Speaker 2: So I got a little excited when.
1:30
Speaker 3: At least Dustin May and a couple of relievers were added.
1:34
Speaker 3: But that is like the benchmark that you're supposed to
1:37
Speaker 3: do when you're the best team in baseball. You're supposed
1:40
Speaker 3: to add at least a couple of guys, and you're
1:43
Speaker 3: supposed to give yourself at least a little bit of
1:45
Speaker 3: reprieve for the arms that you're working so hard in
1:48
Speaker 3: that bullpen.
1:48
Speaker 1: You needed to get a couple no it's something under
1:50
Speaker 1: the tree. No, there's no you know, and there is
1:53
Speaker 1: no consolation. But now it's all about how do they pitch,
1:56
Speaker 1: because if Robbie Rag gets shelled or if like then
1:58
Speaker 1: it's like, oh yeah, now they got to pitch. And
2:00
Speaker 1: some guys respond well to that in the change of sceneries,
2:03
Speaker 1: some guys don't.
2:04
Speaker 2: We'll see Dustin May I think that's a solid pickup. Yeah,
2:07
Speaker 2: And I'm a big Dustin May fan.
2:09
Speaker 3: I've liked him a lot since he was competitive as
2:12
Speaker 3: hell and winning a title. Now someone was called Mickey
2:15
Speaker 3: Mouse win in twenty twenty with the Dodgers. But he's
2:18
Speaker 3: a fiery cat. He's got incredible stuff and if you
2:22
Speaker 3: throw him with Chris Hook, I.
2:23
Speaker 2: Would only expect that there'd be some better things.
2:25
Speaker 3: But also it allows you, Drew to get to the
2:29
Speaker 3: end of the line here and hopefully get yourself and
2:31
Speaker 3: solidify a bye. And then if admittedly so to.
2:36
Speaker 2: We all love Murph. I think Murph Love's talking in
2:40
Speaker 2: the microphone.
2:41
Speaker 3: We might we could maybe peel like a couple of
2:44
Speaker 3: those back.
2:45
Speaker 2: We could maybe just like a.
2:46
Speaker 3: Little bit more reserved in front of the microphone, not
2:49
Speaker 3: spill everything out there. But he had said it a
2:51
Speaker 3: couple of times guys that he felt like they ran
2:54
Speaker 3: out of gas after the Cup series. If Dustin May
2:57
Speaker 3: gets you through the first series where you've believe you
3:00
Speaker 3: can put your best foot forward in the NLCS, that's
3:03
Speaker 3: what really matters most, that you feel like your guns
3:05
Speaker 3: actually have a chance in that series where I think
3:08
Speaker 3: they admitted that they were they were pretty done.
3:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did seem a little.
3:11
Speaker 3: Cooked, emotionally drained, uh you know, physically drained, and Scooble
3:16
Speaker 3: would have absolutely been the lightning rod to be able
3:19
Speaker 3: to do it. But I heard you guys play the
3:22
Speaker 3: Murphy con cuts and Matt Arnold last night, I thought,
3:25
Speaker 3: so well as well put it out there. There's just
3:29
Speaker 3: so much other stuff going on here to think that
3:32
Speaker 3: it was a player for player three for R three
3:35
Speaker 3: for one against your three for one. There's way too
3:37
Speaker 3: much smoke for there not to be something going on here.
3:39
Speaker 1: As I said my position on this, and it's one
3:41
Speaker 1: of those great it's a Reddit thread shower thoughts. As
3:44
Speaker 1: I'm showering this morning, I'm like, it's not the owners,
3:47
Speaker 1: like they're not trying to force the sour cap and
3:49
Speaker 1: the Tigers aren't taking one for the team and took less.
3:52
Speaker 1: It's Scott Boris. Sure, Scott Boris greased the wheels for
3:55
Speaker 1: it for Schooble. His guy go where he's gonna end up,
3:58
Speaker 1: and he wanted that. And whatever the quid pro quo was,
4:01
Speaker 1: if there's an if they got other Boris, I didn't
4:04
Speaker 1: do the deep time.
4:04
Speaker 2: Do they have other Boris clients? A good look? Yeah,
4:07
Speaker 2: good thing to look.
4:07
Speaker 1: They're a free agent that he'll say, I'll steer this
4:09
Speaker 1: guy to you if you take care of my guy
4:11
Speaker 1: and send him to LA.
4:12
Speaker 3: No. They signed Kevin McGonagall their rookie this year. Is
4:15
Speaker 3: he a Scott Boris guy. That would be one of
4:18
Speaker 3: the great questions to know, because if he was, then
4:21
Speaker 3: you would think that there'd be something tight in But
4:22
Speaker 3: they got a bunch of guys Drew that they would
4:24
Speaker 3: probably love to keep the Riley Greens of the world
4:27
Speaker 3: and all these other cats, and you know what, they
4:30
Speaker 3: might think that they're going to have another Terek school
4:32
Speaker 3: at some point.
4:33
Speaker 2: They're gonna want to negotiate it that way. I'm not
4:35
Speaker 2: against that thought on it.
4:37
Speaker 1: When it comes to that, you can, like I said,
4:38
Speaker 1: when there's evil in sports, look for greed. If the
4:40
Speaker 1: owners look for TV and look for Scott Boris, Rich
4:44
Speaker 1: Paul Drew Rosenhaus, you know, just like that.
4:47
Speaker 3: Well, and when Wednesday and Thursday it got put out
4:49
Speaker 3: by Boris that the Dodgers were his preferred destination, that
4:52
Speaker 3: wasn't nothing. Yeah like, even if that somewhat reserved teams,
4:56
Speaker 3: it didn't sound like it reserved the Brewers or gave
4:59
Speaker 3: the Brewers reservations. It gave the Cubs maybe some reservations.
5:02
Speaker 3: They seemed like they were out in the middle of
5:04
Speaker 3: Saturday afternoon. But there was there was something there. There
5:08
Speaker 3: was some real smoke there. And also I've maybe I
5:12
Speaker 3: just got myself completely off of this Google thing because
5:14
Speaker 3: I told myself that he quit on Team USA and
5:16
Speaker 3: I didn't want that guy anywhere close to the Brewers
5:17
Speaker 3: and the playoffs. And if anybody was going to get
5:19
Speaker 3: added to Armansarian's Corbyn Burns watch list, would have.
5:22
Speaker 2: Been a good way to do it. But then I didn't.
5:24
Speaker 3: Realize that Alexander Frius was gonna be the guy that
5:28
Speaker 3: everybody was so upset about.
5:29
Speaker 2: And now I just I bless all of these guys,
5:32
Speaker 2: young hearts.
5:33
Speaker 3: I am so excited for Josiah Ragsdale and the success
5:37
Speaker 3: that he's having this year hitting twelve homers in a
5:40
Speaker 3: month in Double A, those are huge numbers. Yeah, I
5:43
Speaker 3: don't know if these guys are ever going to crack
5:45
Speaker 3: a big league roster, let alone a forty man roster.
5:48
Speaker 3: So I'm just not going to sweat what we gave
5:51
Speaker 3: up the eleven and thirteen to that was the guy
5:53
Speaker 3: I wasn't going to and over the next ten to
5:56
Speaker 3: twelve years drew how many guys are going to be
5:58
Speaker 3: said to be the next cheerioer my day exactly because
6:00
Speaker 3: that's where the freest tag came in and everyone saying, oh,
6:03
Speaker 3: he could have been your next jury or my day.
6:04
Speaker 2: Right, there was a high draft pick.
6:06
Speaker 3: So going four or five other of these guys, most
6:09
Speaker 3: likely none of them will be who you brought up
6:12
Speaker 3: this year. It's a play important, you know, innings to start. Well,
6:15
Speaker 3: you're already in first place all year. I mean the
6:17
Speaker 3: Brewers have done that. They they brought two guys up,
6:19
Speaker 3: Brad and Laura, so it is next and and you
6:24
Speaker 3: know that's the thing about for some people. What makes
6:27
Speaker 3: I think this Tiger's situation so puzzling is that I
6:31
Speaker 3: understand its school and maybe a rental. But the Dodgers
6:34
Speaker 3: didn't seem to give up any of their top guys
6:36
Speaker 3: either yet. Yet Scott Harris keeps saying this is too
6:39
Speaker 3: good of a deal to pass up, and there's a
6:42
Speaker 3: symmetry on the buy and sell side. His are is
6:45
Speaker 3: just his explanation was hard to buy. So there's maybe
6:49
Speaker 3: he's just an idiot. All right, Possibly I.
6:54
Speaker 2: Got one to six a night. Maybe Scott Harris.
6:56
Speaker 3: Is just the no one's allowing for that possibility. Might
7:00
Speaker 3: just be not a good GM or president.
7:02
Speaker 1: I mean, well, I don't know the I don't know
7:06
Speaker 1: the machinations. But one thing with the Tigers, and like
7:09
Speaker 1: they said, they made Schooble an offer multi year offer
7:12
Speaker 1: after his first cy young and Boris came out said
7:15
Speaker 1: that was four at seventy five million, which he wasn't
7:17
Speaker 1: gonna take.
7:18
Speaker 2: No one's taking, Boris, wasn't it.
7:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, we gave the bath, wasn't I mean, I don't
7:24
Speaker 3: know arm and the guy did earn a Master of
7:26
Speaker 3: Bachelor's Administration from Columbia University's Graduate School of Business. All right, well,
7:31
Speaker 3: there you go. He might not be a dumb, dumb guy.
7:34
Speaker 3: I mean, but I just don't. I am looking at
7:37
Speaker 3: this picture of said Scott Harris, and I'm not gonna
7:39
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna fully deny your well, he said, we don't.
7:42
Speaker 3: He said, that's garbage criticism that we don't know how
7:44
Speaker 3: these deals work. That's not how the markets were, top
7:46
Speaker 3: players work. You don't just wait till the end and negotiation. Yeah, Murph,
7:50
Speaker 3: first offer. But Murph also said, yeah, these trades aren't
7:53
Speaker 3: just you know, added the player for player, and like,
7:55
Speaker 3: you just don't.
7:55
Speaker 2: It's not just as easy as you you bed, isn't it.
7:59
Speaker 3: Well, I thought it was mostly just you put names
8:02
Speaker 3: out there and see which was better.
8:03
Speaker 1: Scott Boris, who hardcore termed the real Prince of Darkness.
8:06
Speaker 2: That's fair. He did.
8:09
Speaker 1: He did preside over that Cooper Pratt eight year, fifty million.
8:12
Speaker 1: That's not what he usually does. He's usually like he
8:14
Speaker 1: just bet on yourself. No, and Drew, I don't know.
8:16
Speaker 1: It was a case where I think Pratt and his
8:18
Speaker 1: family said no, we're going let's take They're taking the cash.
8:21
Speaker 3: And he had said it a number of times. He
8:22
Speaker 3: was on that press conference, on that Zoom call. He's like, listen,
8:25
Speaker 3: this might be against what we normally do, but what
8:27
Speaker 3: the player wants. The player wants, and what the player
8:30
Speaker 3: wants the player gets.
8:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, but usually he Scott more effect at telling his
8:34
Speaker 1: players what to bet on yourself.
8:36
Speaker 3: But what I'm just saying here too is the player
8:38
Speaker 3: wants what the player gets. What the player wants, the
8:41
Speaker 3: player wants to go to LA. The player wanted to
8:43
Speaker 3: go to LA. In the offseason, they didn't get the
8:46
Speaker 3: deal done. They were waiting until this year. Figured well,
8:48
Speaker 3: you might as well just give up only money in
8:50
Speaker 3: the end of the year. But now they saw him,
8:52
Speaker 3: we can give up a twenty eight year old prospect.
8:55
Speaker 3: Sounds like a great deal for us. Like he said,
8:57
Speaker 3: school right away. He's like, I had no sympathy for
8:59
Speaker 3: any of these teams. Anyone could have traded for me.
9:01
Speaker 3: And he knows that's not true, right, I mean, he
9:03
Speaker 3: knows that's not true that anyone could trade for me.
9:05
Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, great, I can build him as
9:07
Speaker 3: a villain. Now, as we approached this, it's done a
9:09
Speaker 3: good job of it, no doubt. If I can build
9:11
Speaker 3: this as a villain, it's easy to do, and the
9:14
Speaker 3: rich get richer. But hey, enough, I don't know how
9:17
Speaker 3: you guys feel like you have twenty four more hours
9:20
Speaker 3: of this persecution fantasy. If you're the Brewers and Burers
9:23
Speaker 3: fans that it's done, then it's like, we're here to
9:25
Speaker 3: play baseball.
9:26
Speaker 2: It is what it is.
9:27
Speaker 3: We still have a chance to make a run the playoffs.
9:29
Speaker 3: None of this is like, oh woe was us?
9:31
Speaker 2: Check ball.
9:31
Speaker 3: Let's go yeah, right now, let's keep that same energy, okay,
9:36
Speaker 3: and let's make sure everyone keeps that same energy that
9:39
Speaker 3: they had in twenty twenty two about the players moving on,
9:42
Speaker 3: because I believe in twenty twenty two when they traded
9:45
Speaker 3: Josh Hater, that was all the conversation was, well, now
9:48
Speaker 3: we only we get one more day.
9:49
Speaker 2: And that's it.
9:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, now you got to get over it. Right now,
9:52
Speaker 3: you got to get over it and go play baseball.
9:54
Speaker 3: Well now after probably tomorrow, like you said, twenty four
9:56
Speaker 3: more hours, now the fans are going to have to
9:58
Speaker 3: get over it, and the team is all going to
10:00
Speaker 3: have to get over it.
10:01
Speaker 2: Everybody is going to have to move on.
10:03
Speaker 3: I think Murph was trying to say that a little
10:04
Speaker 3: bit yesterday, and it'll definitely help when May makes his
10:07
Speaker 3: first start on Thursday, and hopefully he shoves. Hopefully he's
10:09
Speaker 3: solid and Jojo Romero comes back from the appendectomy.
10:13
Speaker 2: Uh. And I like Senztela a lot. I liked him.
10:16
Speaker 2: That's a guy that I had on my right arm.
10:18
Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of that arm. Man of that arm.
10:20
Speaker 1: And he's a World Baseball Classic guy. Him and Contrera's
10:24
Speaker 1: kind of instant rapport.
10:26
Speaker 2: Yeah.
10:26
Speaker 3: And the only the other thing is and the the
10:28
Speaker 3: acquiring of offense. The best offense that you could acquire
10:33
Speaker 3: is Jackson Surio and William Contrera's not being five hundred
10:36
Speaker 3: ops players for a month.
10:37
Speaker 2: Yeah. And well and Yelich, Yeah, well, and.
10:39
Speaker 3: I mean, but you look at the Yelich has gotten
10:42
Speaker 3: all of the smoke, while Contreras and Churio have been
10:45
Speaker 3: able to sit back in the corner.
10:46
Speaker 2: And say, yeah, this guy's been offers.
10:48
Speaker 1: A lost last night and terrang Contreras and Yelich were
10:52
Speaker 1: over fourteen with seven punchouts. They're not going to win
10:54
Speaker 1: many games in those circles. No, Joey can only do
10:56
Speaker 1: so much. Yeah, let's take a listen to Matt Arnold's
10:58
Speaker 1: comments from last night regarding the trade deadline, the machinations.
11:01
Speaker 1: He didn't he couldn't say a lot, but he said
11:03
Speaker 1: what he could. And I have respect for Matt Arnold
11:06
Speaker 1: and the Brewers made the best of the situation. There
11:08
Speaker 1: weren't really a lot of bats out there, Like people
11:10
Speaker 1: say they should have got a bat, Well, who and
11:12
Speaker 1: where would you put him?
11:13
Speaker 4: Like the C. J.
11:14
Speaker 1: Abrams thing, Like you just committed to Cooper Pratt and
11:16
Speaker 1: he's hitting almost three hundred, So what do you what
11:18
Speaker 1: do we You know he's going to be the shortstop
11:20
Speaker 1: for like the next eight years?
11:21
Speaker 2: Like what you know Abrams could play third? Has he
11:24
Speaker 2: ever played third?
11:25
Speaker 3: Like?
11:28
Speaker 1: So, there weren't a lot of bats that were compatible
11:30
Speaker 1: with the Brewers needs that I saw that we were screamed.
11:33
Speaker 2: There was no schoobl There also.
11:35
Speaker 3: Really weren't many offensive players traded a lot, especially Adley
11:39
Speaker 3: Rutchman was the only one I could think of, which
11:40
Speaker 3: I expect.
11:41
Speaker 1: At all, and the Red Sox are bitching about overpaying
11:44
Speaker 1: for him even if they needed a catcher.
11:45
Speaker 2: Let's listen to Matt Arnold.
11:48
Speaker 4: Sure, how do you feel playing off the deadline?
11:50
Speaker 5: Yeah, honestly, like I think we were. We were in
11:53
Speaker 5: a lot of things. I think we were. We were
11:55
Speaker 5: do what we can to help the team. And you know,
11:56
Speaker 5: when you're you're in a lot of stuff, there's certainly
11:59
Speaker 5: some things that you were come up short and you
12:00
Speaker 5: just gotta pick yourself up and dust yourself off and
12:03
Speaker 5: try to do what you can to get the next thing.
12:05
Speaker 5: And ultimately, I think we were able to accomplish a
12:07
Speaker 5: lot over the last forty eight hours to get some
12:10
Speaker 5: stuff done to really help the team. I know, stud
12:14
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna talk about specific guys. Obviously, we were
12:16
Speaker 5: in on a lot of different things. And like I said,
12:18
Speaker 5: if you're able to access what you can, you know,
12:21
Speaker 5: you get it, and uh, if not, you move on.
12:23
Speaker 6: You cast a white net.
12:25
Speaker 2: You always tell us.
12:26
Speaker 6: But what's pitching at the top of the list.
12:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, certainly.
12:29
Speaker 5: I think, especially this time of year, like it's really
12:32
Speaker 5: you can never have enough pitching. And I think the
12:33
Speaker 5: guys that we got are pretty battle tested. Experience guys
12:37
Speaker 5: talked about you know, Dustin may and and Jojo Romero
12:40
Speaker 5: and and totally sends until like these guys are pitching
12:43
Speaker 5: some big games and and they're tough and their experience
12:45
Speaker 5: and so I think they're gonna fit in really well.
12:47
Speaker 2: Postseason experience.
12:50
Speaker 5: On the list, Yeah, certainly a factor I think two
12:52
Speaker 5: of the three guys have pitching postseason, So yeah, it
12:54
Speaker 5: was absolutely a.
12:55
Speaker 7: Factor with the team's record and obviously the success they're
12:57
Speaker 7: kind of the right of the season.
12:58
Speaker 4: How did you, I guess, identify their pitching was the
13:00
Speaker 4: area that the t either.
13:01
Speaker 2: Yeah.
13:01
Speaker 5: I think, look, you get in this time, the time
13:03
Speaker 5: of year, you always need as much pitching as you can,
13:05
Speaker 5: and I think these guys just fit in very different ways.
13:08
Speaker 4: And we're still working through what.
13:09
Speaker 5: That that those roles are gonna look like, but we're
13:12
Speaker 5: excited to have all of them.
13:13
Speaker 4: Man, how aggressively did you look at potential offensive upgrades
13:16
Speaker 4: about that area? Yeah, I spend a lot of minutes
13:18
Speaker 4: on a ton of different things.
13:20
Speaker 5: We probably don't have enough time to go through all
13:22
Speaker 5: of it, but I can tell you we were on
13:23
Speaker 5: play on a lot of stuff this week.
13:25
Speaker 4: May's had like the Vilo bump this year.
13:27
Speaker 2: It looks like, yeah, fastball shapes and stuff that looked
13:29
Speaker 2: really good for him.
13:30
Speaker 4: Just how do you guys view of this stuff? And yeah,
13:32
Speaker 4: stuff is stuff is really really electric.
13:34
Speaker 5: I mean he's honestly, he saw what he did with
13:36
Speaker 5: us against us a couple of weeks ago, and he
13:37
Speaker 5: was really really really really good. So again, he's a
13:40
Speaker 5: guy that we're happy to have on our side.
13:41
Speaker 2: It's a status of era.
13:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, so he had an appendix removal not that long ago.
13:46
Speaker 5: It sounds like it's gonna be a couple of weeks.
13:48
Speaker 5: I just talked to him. He's he's great. He's already
13:50
Speaker 5: thrown back and he says he feels really good.
13:52
Speaker 6: You talked about roles Matt with Harrison coming back, and
13:54
Speaker 6: now there's.
13:55
Speaker 2: A surplus of quote unquote starters.
13:58
Speaker 6: Sure, will you go with like an expanded rotation, Will
14:02
Speaker 6: somebody moved to the pen? Will multiple guys kind of
14:05
Speaker 6: go back and forth? What's the thought?
14:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, still still working through what those roles will look like.
14:09
Speaker 5: But again, like I think when you start to there's
14:11
Speaker 5: there's sort of two different.
14:12
Speaker 4: Phase of this.
14:13
Speaker 5: One is obviously getting to the postseason, which we need
14:15
Speaker 5: to do and we're gonna need the innings there, and
14:17
Speaker 5: it when you get into the postseason, it's kind of
14:19
Speaker 5: an all hands on deck, you know scenario. And I
14:22
Speaker 5: think we're gonna have all these guys available to hopefully
14:24
Speaker 5: help us in both cases, we.
14:26
Speaker 2: May jump right into the rotation.
14:28
Speaker 4: I think that's the plan. Yeah, at this point the page,
14:30
Speaker 4: we'll back that you guys gave up for the Cardinals.
14:33
Speaker 4: Sure higher bring prospects.
14:34
Speaker 2: Yeahs Helium now Scle.
14:37
Speaker 1: We're just to seeing you guys get up in terms
14:39
Speaker 1: of just being out there.
14:40
Speaker 2: Ye was what made you come from?
14:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, prices are prices are high this time of year,
14:44
Speaker 5: you know, so you gotta you gotta, you gotta give
14:46
Speaker 5: up something to get something.
14:47
Speaker 4: And we like those.
14:48
Speaker 5: Guys certainly like guys like Freus and Ragsdale are really
14:51
Speaker 5: really talented players.
14:52
Speaker 4: But again we're we're happy with the guys who got
14:54
Speaker 4: back for sure.
14:55
Speaker 2: How did the deadline comparative deadlines that pass? I feel
14:57
Speaker 2: like you guys have found yourself in a similar spot
14:59
Speaker 2: as you're past. So what did what did you see
15:01
Speaker 2: in the market this year?
15:02
Speaker 4: Yeah?
15:02
Speaker 5: It was very active this year, I think maybe a
15:04
Speaker 5: little bit even more so than it was in the past.
15:06
Speaker 5: So there were a ton of different conversations we were
15:08
Speaker 5: having in in all directions. But but yeah, we just
15:10
Speaker 5: did what we could help the team.
15:12
Speaker 4: Would you were willing to get them more?
15:15
Speaker 5: I look, I think certainly we were open to it,
15:17
Speaker 5: you know. I think again we wanted to do what
15:19
Speaker 5: we could do to help the team, and you know
15:21
Speaker 5: that means probably less guys off limits. And we talked
15:23
Speaker 5: about so many different combinations to try to help the group.
15:26
Speaker 5: There's always kind of one big splashes for the team
15:29
Speaker 5: shirt this time of year.
15:30
Speaker 4: What is your or have we try to approach that
15:32
Speaker 4: being responsible?
15:33
Speaker 7: Trying to yeah, teams not only successful being those stass Yeah,
15:36
Speaker 7: I mean we we certainly talked about doing some irresponsible
15:38
Speaker 7: stuff as well, But I would say like we tried
15:41
Speaker 7: to thread the needle if as Murv says, and I
15:44
Speaker 7: hopefully we we accomplish that.
15:45
Speaker 2: Fine, though, how did the upcoming responsible for that?
15:48
Speaker 1: Sorry?
15:49
Speaker 2: So fine?
15:49
Speaker 4: Is that line between the responsible and yeah?
15:53
Speaker 5: I think Look, I think we were prepared to push
15:55
Speaker 5: a lot of chips in, you know, and certainly and look,
15:57
Speaker 5: I think we did h to the question earlier. I mean,
15:59
Speaker 5: we we liked the guys that we gave up this week,
16:02
Speaker 5: but again we had to give up something to get something.
16:04
Speaker 3: Does the Dodgers getting scoogled impact the approach after that
16:08
Speaker 3: at all?
16:09
Speaker 2: Given you know you have matter, No, No, they're they're
16:12
Speaker 2: already really good.
16:13
Speaker 5: We know that, and uh, we got to go through
16:14
Speaker 5: them to get where we want to bet.
16:17
Speaker 4: Us hear it, It sounds like tomorrow even late tonight.
16:20
Speaker 3: Mah.
16:21
Speaker 2: We went into the decision to move on from Yer
16:24
Speaker 2: to get him over the weekends.
16:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, good arm.
16:26
Speaker 5: Again, we were fortunate that we have a roster that's
16:28
Speaker 5: really strong and just felt like, you know, it was
16:31
Speaker 5: it was somebody that we were able to move on from.
16:33
Speaker 4: But again, it's those are tough. You have to take
16:36
Speaker 4: guys off the roster.
16:37
Speaker 7: To go back to that Cleveland trade too over the
16:39
Speaker 7: weekend and had you guys, way what Yo Ho's future.
16:42
Speaker 2: Value might have been here compared to the guys that
16:44
Speaker 2: you were here.
16:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, you host yo hoos did a great job for us. Yeah,
16:47
Speaker 5: I think I think this s guy's a limit for him, honestly.
16:50
Speaker 5: And you know, the one thing I think for us
16:51
Speaker 5: in that scenario was we we really wanted to add
16:54
Speaker 5: catching depth. And I think in this time of year,
16:56
Speaker 5: if you have any kind of catching injury, it's always
16:58
Speaker 5: it's always really tough. And and Naylor is a really
17:01
Speaker 5: talented guy who's had experience in the big leagues with
17:03
Speaker 5: you know, experience, game planning and all those things that
17:06
Speaker 5: we like. So we were really happy to get Naylor.
17:11
Speaker 2: Potenti'll bring him on this roster and.
17:14
Speaker 4: Change it all over. Yeah.
17:17
Speaker 5: I mean, look, we we have a really talented bullpen
17:19
Speaker 5: and Craig was certainly I think part of that again,
17:21
Speaker 5: just have to give up something that you like to
17:23
Speaker 5: get something that you like. And I think in this
17:25
Speaker 5: case it was just sort of a you know, a
17:27
Speaker 5: good fit for both sides.
17:30
Speaker 6: When you see your club after this, do you think
17:31
Speaker 6: world series?
17:34
Speaker 2: You made a world series.
17:35
Speaker 5: I try, I try not to think that far ahead.
17:38
Speaker 5: Certainly that is on our mind, but we're trying to
17:39
Speaker 5: do that what Murph talks about every night, which is
17:41
Speaker 5: wind to night.
17:44
Speaker 2: There you have it.
17:47
Speaker 1: I love that, and I love the we almost did
17:50
Speaker 1: something irresponsible. Let's be every weekend did something.
17:53
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna say, man, we found the slogan for
17:55
Speaker 3: this year. Let's do something responsible. Let's go for a
17:58
Speaker 3: Badger party or something. Say that feels like want of
18:01
Speaker 3: the Potootomy sportsbook. That could definitely be a tagline. Let's
18:04
Speaker 3: do something. I think the last we were prepared, well,
18:07
Speaker 3: we're prepared to do something irresponsible.
18:09
Speaker 2: I love that well.
18:10
Speaker 3: And uh, clearly they gave up two guys and they
18:13
Speaker 3: didn't want to give up they got three guys that
18:15
Speaker 3: they wanted. Right now, did they get the guy that
18:18
Speaker 3: everybody wanted?
18:19
Speaker 5: No?
18:20
Speaker 3: But if Dustin May pitches to what is fielding independent
18:23
Speaker 3: pitching is go from one of the worst defenses to
18:25
Speaker 3: one of the best defenses in baseball, it might be
18:27
Speaker 3: a much different story.
18:28
Speaker 2: Yes, good secondary numbers, good point.
18:29
Speaker 1: But absolutely absolutely all right, we've reached halftime. Scott Dolphin
18:34
Speaker 1: is going to hang out with us. Hey, uh, before
18:36
Speaker 1: we go, we talked to Brian Butch yesterday about his camps.

19:23
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Wisconsin Town padded tackle football and.
19:27
Speaker 3: They they actually did tackle a little bit more than
19:30
Speaker 3: coach would have liked yesterday. He said, there's rules of engagement,
19:33
Speaker 3: not the old CBS sitcom rules of engagement. There's rules
19:37
Speaker 3: of engagement to practice and we need to, uh, we
19:39
Speaker 3: need to make sure that we're taking care of each other.
19:41
Speaker 3: There were some some pads clash and some guys hitting
19:43
Speaker 3: the ground yesterday, and I can imagine day number two
19:45
Speaker 3: there might even be a couple of scuffles.
19:46
Speaker 2: Little chippy, was it a little chippy?
19:48
Speaker 3: Nothing too much, Dolf, There are nothing too much. But
19:51
Speaker 3: there also wasn't any offensive line offense and defensive lineman
19:53
Speaker 3: one on ones. Okay, that is one of the feeding
19:56
Speaker 3: grounds for good little brew hahas then lee into into practice.
20:02
Speaker 3: But it was not too hot to fight yesterday. But
20:06
Speaker 3: it's too early to fight first day. Everybody's too excited.
20:08
Speaker 3: You got to make a good impression day number four
20:11
Speaker 3: or five, then you really hate that the way that
20:13
Speaker 3: guy looks.
20:14
Speaker 2: Are there any joint practices this year?
20:16
Speaker 3: Oh?
20:16
Speaker 2: Yeah?
20:16
Speaker 3: Last one of the last open practice on August twenty
20:19
Speaker 3: sixth Floor Brothers. I was gonna say, maybe the greatest
20:22
Speaker 3: family affair. The Floor Brothers is head coach and Jonathan
20:25
Speaker 3: Gannon the DC his old team one in the Arizona
20:27
Speaker 3: cart of Jersey. Have you got a chance I didn't
20:31
Speaker 3: talk to you. How does the Jersey look for the
20:33
Speaker 3: Scott Backle or Bole or.
20:35
Speaker 2: Zach look good, look clean?
20:39
Speaker 1: He's got the dash working on the pronunciation. I was
20:42
Speaker 1: just saying, like, I can't, for the life of me,
20:44
Speaker 1: I can't get the names right when it's the Brewer's
20:47
Speaker 1: pictures sprout and drown.
20:49
Speaker 3: Yes, sprote Shane drawing. They're not similar at all. But
20:52
Speaker 3: I screw those guys up. I've called them Brandon Drowing
20:54
Speaker 3: a number of exact wrong all the time.
20:57
Speaker 2: No people. Now, luckily one of them is gonna get Baco.
20:59
Speaker 2: But well though, that's the name changed.
21:01
Speaker 1: Like it's funny because here we have four radio guys
21:03
Speaker 1: and none of them have changed their names.
21:04
Speaker 2: Dolph has a cool radio name. It sounds like I
21:06
Speaker 2: changed direct. Yeah, it does.
21:08
Speaker 8: When I first got into radio, I consulted with my
21:10
Speaker 8: older brother, who has been in radio a lot longer
21:12
Speaker 8: than me, and I said, what do you think. I'm
21:13
Speaker 8: thinking I'm gonna run some names by it, and he said,
21:15
Speaker 8: don't do any of that. What do you think of
21:16
Speaker 8: your name's dolphin? People are thinking you're bsing him anyway
21:19
Speaker 8: with that?
21:20
Speaker 2: Exactly a man.
21:21
Speaker 3: I remember one of my first days working uh with
21:24
Speaker 3: Tim Allen and the franchise said, what's your name?
21:26
Speaker 2: Kid? Was an interurn. I'm all excited.
21:28
Speaker 3: I listened to him when I was coming out sweating bullets,
21:31
Speaker 3: just standing right next to Billy Schmid.
21:34
Speaker 2: That name is a disaster.
21:35
Speaker 3: You're gonna want to change that one, ye, instant Schmid Offul.
21:40
Speaker 3: You're not just mispronounced and misspelled. You're gonna want to
21:43
Speaker 3: change that one. What's your middle name? We can try
21:44
Speaker 3: with that one. Then that happens a lot for me.
21:47
Speaker 8: I'd say almost half the people I've worked with in
21:49
Speaker 8: my decades in radio have had either fake names or
21:53
Speaker 8: the us their middle name. Like you said, yeah, and
21:56
Speaker 8: I can I get it if you've got a name.
21:57
Speaker 2: Like Arman Sari and you don't want that? No, that
22:00
Speaker 2: that I.
22:00
Speaker 3: Thought, that was GPT and most ridiculous name impossible. I said,
22:05
Speaker 3: we need a fake name. Let's come up with Armin sorry,
22:07
Speaker 3: and well no one ever said anything about it to me.
22:10
Speaker 3: Now that's either the era of radio I came up in,
22:13
Speaker 3: which is not maybe a thing anymore, or no one
22:15
Speaker 3: to care enough about my ability.
22:17
Speaker 2: To think this guy might need to definitely not to.
22:20
Speaker 3: Can you run the board, like, let's just get you
22:22
Speaker 3: in there, Like, I don't think it matters what your
22:24
Speaker 3: name is.
22:25
Speaker 8: Hey, if you can think of a clever name to
22:27
Speaker 8: use as your on air personality name, whatever, do it.
22:30
Speaker 8: I just hate it when upper management dictates what your
22:34
Speaker 8: name is. You're you're going to be this name here.
22:37
Speaker 2: That's I've seen that happen a lot of Oh yeah,
22:39
Speaker 2: that sucks.
22:40
Speaker 8: I worked with three different Sandy Beaches in one Sandy Cheeks.
22:47
Speaker 2: No, just Sandy Beach.
22:48
Speaker 3: Not.
22:48
Speaker 1: That would have been much much better different.
22:52
Speaker 3: Mine would have been. Mine would have been solid. Billy Mitchell.
22:55
Speaker 3: I mean, especially in Milwaukee at the airport played Mitchell.
23:00
Speaker 2: William Mitchell, Tiberius Schmidt had sounds like a baseball player.
23:08
Speaker 1: The best ones are the traffic guys. Yeah, lane lane closure,
23:15
Speaker 1: way through it my my roommate.
23:20
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, those are yeah, wait through it.
23:22
Speaker 2: My roommate.
23:23
Speaker 1: Back in the day, my roommate was my I got
23:26
Speaker 1: kind of got into radio by default because my roommate
23:28
Speaker 1: was in rad He was like a boat op and stuff.
23:30
Speaker 1: And he would do the traffic stuff every once in
23:32
Speaker 1: a while, and he every day we come up with
23:33
Speaker 1: a different name. He was like, Brick Bradford. Love that,
23:36
Speaker 1: I'm Brick Bradford. Then here's your traffic.
23:38
Speaker 2: And we would come up. He'd change it like every day.
23:41
Speaker 2: Major congestion there was.
23:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, once upon a time only exists anymore. There was
23:46
Speaker 3: a place in Milwaukee that serviced outsourced traffic right to people.
23:50
Speaker 2: It's called Metro's box.
23:52
Speaker 3: They all had like because they were all in different stations,
23:54
Speaker 3: and they had like just they're picking them out of
23:56
Speaker 3: the hat. I felt like, oh yeah, the names because
23:59
Speaker 3: they had to be like fifty names fifty.
24:01
Speaker 1: And we would get calls and people say, the guy
24:04
Speaker 1: that does traffic, isn't his name?
24:06
Speaker 2: So, and so I said, yeah, another station, really.
24:08

Speaker 3: get a lot of guys getting back at practice yesterday too.
25:44
Speaker 3: Rarely you're getting healthier on first day.
25:46
Speaker 8: No major injuries like at Bear's camp yesterday. But no

26:22
Speaker 1: back into the myself.
26:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've seen Bruce willis do that with his shoulder.
26:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, when he got yes, but then like when Kamal hadn't, like, Okay,
26:32
Speaker 1: the pinky is no big deal because it was his
26:34
Speaker 1: foot that was facing the wrong direction, not go right.
26:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, quickly you can move off of that one. Huh. Yeah.
26:39
Speaker 2: So he's a good story though, man, because what he came,
26:42
Speaker 2: what he went.
26:42
Speaker 3: Through, there's a couple of really really good ones, and
26:44
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna have a chance. Jonathan Baldwin in
26:47
Speaker 3: that cornerback room, he did drop out yesterday. He had
26:49
Speaker 3: been making a number of different plays. But Hadden and
26:52
Speaker 3: him are probably gonna be fighting for one of those
26:54
Speaker 3: last roster spots. Carrington Valentine was down yesterday with a
26:57
Speaker 3: leg injury. Allowed you to see a little bit more
26:59
Speaker 3: of brain and which is a fun thing.
27:01
Speaker 8: I saw my got Luke Lche out of Iowa left
27:03
Speaker 8: practice earlier to yesterday.
27:04
Speaker 2: I don't know what that was, limpit a little bit.
27:06
Speaker 3: Hopefully he gets they had they have seven tight ends
27:08
Speaker 3: on the roster. Yeah now now of which three are
27:10
Speaker 3: health three are healthy.
27:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like they're running out and like long snapper
27:14
Speaker 1: and issue, are you that dialed into the kicking stuff
27:17
Speaker 1: like the winds are swirling.
27:19
Speaker 3: Uh, not quite. Yesterday we couldn't. We sadly couldn't even
27:24
Speaker 3: we Wayne and I called, and I saw the pain
27:27
Speaker 3: in the frustration for the play by play man's eyes.
27:29
Speaker 3: Apparently we were wrong on the first one. We thought
27:31
Speaker 3: the first one was good. Apparently this first one was
27:33
Speaker 3: not good. They didn't have the refs underneath the uprights,
27:36
Speaker 3: so we couldn't get it easy, no official until the
27:39
Speaker 3: last one that hit the net. But when it hits
27:41
Speaker 3: the net a lot easier to know that the voice throw.
27:43
Speaker 8: What does that job pay at Packers training camp to
27:45
Speaker 8: be one of the refs under the upright?
27:46
Speaker 3: That's a great question. Do I think like I'd say
27:49
Speaker 3: twenty an hour, it's not bad money. I gotta think
27:51
Speaker 3: it's hourly.
27:52
Speaker 1: I guess I believe the college high school guys.
27:55
Speaker 2: Mostly college guys.
27:56
Speaker 1: Can they bring in the NFL guys themselves, And they
27:59
Speaker 1: sometimes do, Like these little symposiums tell you about points
28:02
Speaker 1: of emphasis, and I want to.
28:03
Speaker 3: Say they do that for maybe family night. Definitely the
28:06
Speaker 3: joint practice. They'll have NFL guys who will start getting
28:09
Speaker 3: some wraps. But for the most part, I think there's
28:11
Speaker 3: some regular NFL college and high school guys trying to
28:14
Speaker 3: get some wraps so they get to keep the gear
28:15
Speaker 3: or they have to bring their own probably their own gear,
28:17
Speaker 3: probably their own gear.
28:18
Speaker 2: Probably they have to wear shorts.
28:20
Speaker 3: You get free gear and you get like, you know,
28:21
Speaker 3: a couple of meals. That might be a good good gig. Yeah,
28:24
Speaker 3: you know you're turning this into the YMCA. You can
28:26
Speaker 3: get armis just looking for freebies. Something you can have
28:30
Speaker 3: a good meal. They give you, I'm sure they give
28:32
Speaker 3: you a locker room and a shower.
28:33
Speaker 2: To change in maybe two nights in Door County? Did
28:36
Speaker 2: you do it for that?
28:37
Speaker 3: That they changing to get a little getaway here they're
28:40
Speaker 3: putting their spikes in on the parking lot.
28:42
Speaker 2: Is that, well, that's what most reps do. Yeah. The
28:44
Speaker 2: Brewers had a thing years ago.
28:46
Speaker 1: They had a third base coach, Rich donaldy one of
28:48
Speaker 1: the great humans have ever met in any walk of life,
28:50
Speaker 1: not just sports. Rich Donald had this thing where he
28:52
Speaker 1: wanted to involve the firemen and like first responders, and
28:56
Speaker 1: so they would let these guys, these firemen and police
28:58
Speaker 1: guys would come and shag balls during BP because like
29:02
Speaker 1: you know, pictures, they're not that enthusiastic about that's true,
29:06
Speaker 1: and they have to do throwing side sessions and stuff.
29:08
Speaker 1: So they just they realized they needed shaggers and rather
29:10
Speaker 1: than get high school guys or something, they they got
29:12
Speaker 1: the first responders got to put on shorts and stuff
29:15
Speaker 1: and they.
29:16
Speaker 2: Had a blast.
29:16
Speaker 1: They had to sign away for nobody got hurt, but
29:18
Speaker 1: they were they were playing hero ball out there. They
29:20
Speaker 1: were trying to scoop up everything and it was just
29:23
Speaker 1: a riot for them. It wasn't Rich the Chicken Runs
29:26
Speaker 1: of mid Yeah, it's incredible. I don't was that thirty
29:29
Speaker 1: for thirty I don't remember. It was a book, a movie.
29:32
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of articles and Tom Friend
29:34
Speaker 1: wrote the story is a book.
29:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the right when the World Series.
29:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was, uh, he's he's from Steubenville, Ohio and
29:43
Speaker 1: he was a big Stubenville Catholic Central, the big powerhouse
29:48
Speaker 1: football team there. And when the early days of the
29:51
Speaker 1: internet and stuff, he would we had this like signals.
29:54
Speaker 1: He would look from he'd be standing at third base
29:56
Speaker 1: and I'd be telling him, like hand signals, what the
29:58
Speaker 1: score was of the stuben Ville game. It was a
30:00
Speaker 1: Stupidville Catholics. The big red one guy. Yes, he'd be like,
30:05
Speaker 1: I gotta know, and he'd be looking up.
30:07
Speaker 2: I'd be up and I'd be like ten, like tell
30:09
Speaker 2: him like, you're winning easy.
30:10
Speaker 1: He'd be like, all right, what the hell is this
30:12
Speaker 1: guy looking up at the president?
30:13
Speaker 2: That's awesome. Yeah, it just means more. Yep, I had
30:17
Speaker 2: hands signals to give him the score at all.
30:21
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, the stuff, fun stuff they forget about.
30:24
Speaker 3: I mean, when you're a base coach or was he
30:26
Speaker 3: a hitting coach. I'm sorry, there's still not that much
30:30
Speaker 3: going on for bass coaches in the end.
30:32
Speaker 2: When when you can.
30:33
Speaker 1: Get that's a relaxed everywhere wells, there's guys on base
30:39
Speaker 1: and you're in mid season five.
30:41
Speaker 2: It comes right off that.
30:43
Speaker 1: Well, that's another one that when things in sports aren't
30:46
Speaker 1: always what they seem. And when he was rich, donaldy
30:49
Speaker 1: was with the Pirates and he was Leland's guy, right,
30:52
Speaker 1: So Jim Leland famously and chain smoking the hardcore Paul
30:55
Speaker 1: Wagner's you know, magic, he'll never forget. They're playing the
30:59
Speaker 1: Cubs at Wrigley and Don Zimmers and the Cubs stuck
31:01
Speaker 1: out managing, and so they're arguing and Zimmer goes out
31:04
Speaker 1: and makes makes a pitching change late in this blowout game,
31:07
Speaker 1: and they were arguing and they were yelling across and
31:09
Speaker 1: it looked like, oh, there's some beef between the managers.
31:11
Speaker 1: It's like, no, they're all going to the horse track together.
31:14
Speaker 1: And they were they were going to miss the post
31:16
Speaker 1: time and Leland's like, what are you doing?
31:18
Speaker 2: Change? Like, what do you do you?
31:21
Speaker 1: They're like So they're yelling, going back and forth, and
31:25
Speaker 1: people are like, oh my god, these teams got beef. Man,
31:27
Speaker 1: these managers are pissed at each other tomorrow. No, they're
31:30
Speaker 1: going to the track together. One of the things we take.
31:33
Speaker 8: For granted that we don't have, that we really lost
31:36
Speaker 8: our form is miked up managers when it comes to
31:39
Speaker 8: look up YouTube when there were still on fire manager
31:42
Speaker 8: confrontations and I guess you might see that slightly nowadays.
31:45
Speaker 8: But nothing beat those guys like Jimmy Leland or Earl
31:48
Speaker 8: Weak about Bill.
31:50
Speaker 2: Aller Wat you love? That's the one you like? I know,
31:52
Speaker 2: I know what you like? Yeah, nothing gets better.
31:55
Speaker 3: However, Skip Schumacher does deserve an ATA boy this weekend
31:58
Speaker 3: they had he had a good one Rangers manager, I believe,
32:02
Speaker 3: and uh he got thrown out, but waited till the
32:05
Speaker 3: end of God bless America went out to argue the
32:07
Speaker 3: balls and strikes. All of a sudden they realized that it's.
32:09
Speaker 2: About to happen. They pulled, take their hats off, staying
32:11
Speaker 2: their way. All right, you got serious, that's amazing.
32:16
Speaker 1: Still after that, to be Pirates manager got run because
32:20
Speaker 1: he was mad that they were playing through the rain.
32:21
Speaker 2: That they should have He thought the game should have
32:23
Speaker 2: been stopped. Don Kelly looks like a fiery cat there
32:25
Speaker 2: in that tug. He is, man.
32:26
Speaker 3: They got to be loving these trips against Milwaukee. Well
32:29
Speaker 3: they want six of seven against six or seven.
32:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, it's.
32:32
Speaker 1: Totally reverse what it used to be. Can't beat the Buccos. Yeah,
32:35
Speaker 1: it was twenty of twenty two at one point in
32:37
Speaker 1: the opposite direction for the Brewers.
32:38
Speaker 3: It just showed you everything evens out over years and years,
32:41
Speaker 3: it really does. You know, everything's cyclical in sports.
32:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, Pirates could be a problem moving forward, young, Yeah,
32:47
Speaker 1: and they didn't.
32:49
Speaker 2: They weren't sellers, you know, right past the well they
32:51
Speaker 2: ended up being big buyers.
32:52
Speaker 8: Yeah, Billy, I have to ask you how your truck
32:55
Speaker 8: ride was yesterday.
32:56
Speaker 2: So let me tell you this.
32:58
Speaker 3: I got to ride the Scott and Shannon doorst F
33:01
Speaker 3: three point fifty super Duty fifty.
33:06
Speaker 2: Yeah.
33:06
Speaker 3: I don't know that I have ever felt cooler that
33:09
Speaker 3: you dominating the freaking left lane going an appropriate left
33:13
Speaker 3: lane speed?
33:14
Speaker 2: Sure, Uh, just cruising. That's a six wheeler.
33:18
Speaker 3: That is a six wheel on badass moment. You get
33:21
Speaker 3: five miles in the gallon? Uh, something close, something close?
33:24
Speaker 3: Maybe I did fill it up with diesel. Thank you
33:26
Speaker 3: for the heads up. Now the folks on talking text
33:29
Speaker 3: line can give me a heads up. I didn't know
33:31
Speaker 3: that there was a diesel one in diesel two. I
33:33
Speaker 3: didn't know that either. Oh I didn't.
33:34
Speaker 2: I'd never gotten diesel obviously.
33:36
Speaker 3: So I pull up to random, uh gas station in
33:40
Speaker 3: quick trip and I'm looking at premium diesel or diesel two?
33:44
Speaker 2: What did you get? No one knows about this.
33:46
Speaker 3: I drove to a probably would have been a good
33:48
Speaker 3: idea that the phone was dead.
33:50
Speaker 2: Wait about an hour and a half left in the
33:52
Speaker 2: drive home.
33:53
Speaker 3: So I then drove to another quick trip and just
33:56
Speaker 3: prayed to God that I was just going to fill
33:58
Speaker 3: the right one in. Then that one only had two
34:00
Speaker 3: diesel twos, So that was the one that we said,
34:02
Speaker 3: you're good.
34:03
Speaker 1: Billy texts us on the way up and said, is
34:05
Speaker 1: this button cruise control?
34:07
Speaker 2: And there's a button. I have no idea what that
34:09
Speaker 2: button was. I have no clue. I didn't touch I
34:11
Speaker 2: want to test it.
34:12
Speaker 8: It looked like a s pedometer with a lightning bolt
34:14
Speaker 8: and some other thing coming out of it. I'm like,
34:17
Speaker 8: I don't think that's cruse control, But I don't know
34:19
Speaker 8: what did you You didn't push it at all.
34:20
Speaker 3: I didn't touch anything. I barely touched the turbo boost. Seriously,
34:25
Speaker 3: we could that could have hit an exhaust that fired
34:28
Speaker 3: that place.
34:29
Speaker 2: I want to ride that thing with.
34:31
Speaker 3: You to say, will take it again? I think we
34:34
Speaker 3: I think we have our new vehicle. I mean we
34:35
Speaker 3: got our new truck for games. It's a great truck.
34:38
Speaker 8: I warn't, Billy, give yourself an adequate stopping time because
34:41
Speaker 8: it does tend to make monice. Like all our vehicles
34:43
Speaker 8: that I heard Milwaukee, there there are some idiosyncrasis.
34:47
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you the the rumble that you get
34:49
Speaker 3: in your gut when you're driving down with that three
34:52
Speaker 3: fifty six wheeler when.
