1:55
Speaker 5: They're civil, but they're fighting out would say, but as
1:57
Speaker 5: a civil fight, it's like a sanctioned by match. But
2:01
Speaker 5: we are getting some of that on the YouTube comments.
2:04
Speaker 5: If you're involved, by the way, you can listen to
2:06

2:13
Speaker 5: Twitter and X I'm sorry Facebook, YouTube and X also Twitter.
2:18
Speaker 5: All right, A lot of people are doing hot start
2:21
Speaker 5: that a lot of people are doing, and they getting
2:22
Speaker 5: involved in the comments, involved in the little community that
2:25
Speaker 5: we have that's always talking to the comments.
2:28
Speaker 4: So what are they getting into in the comments here
2:29
Speaker 4: on let's still in the audience that that's waking up
2:32
Speaker 4: here and listening to us.
2:33
Speaker 3: On those two terrestrial stations that you mentioned.
2:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, good point, Billy, I'm glad you got me there.
2:37
Speaker 5: They're arguing about the outfield situation for the Brewers.
2:41
Speaker 3: We were mentioning this a little bit.
2:42
Speaker 5: It's by Ourself Tuesday, and it starts with Dobbler saying,
2:46
Speaker 5: there's no way, ain't no way, he said, Boss Dobbler.
2:49
Speaker 5: Mitchell breaks training on Brewer's roster, either shines the spring
2:54
Speaker 5: has traded away or fails and sent to Triple A.
2:57
Speaker 5: Then we have Matthew besides hey, Boss Dobbler, besides Yellows, who,
3:02
Speaker 5: to the Brewers had that's better than Mitchell in the
3:03
Speaker 5: outfield Boss Dobbler, Perkins or Lockridge my self freely said
3:08
Speaker 5: I should have said that better. Who deserves to be
3:10
Speaker 5: ahead of him? Besides the elgenturio Boss Dobbler. Mitchell is
3:13
Speaker 5: a fragile glass canon. Everybody knows it. Timing to let
3:16
Speaker 5: some desperate team who has a misfortunate outfield injury get
3:19
Speaker 5: him and put a fork and it's Mitchell experiment in Milwaukee.
3:22
Speaker 5: So they're going on it about Garrett Mitchell, which can
3:26
Speaker 5: be a hot button topic sometimes well.
3:28
Speaker 4: And Drew, especially as we joked about in the in
3:31
Speaker 4: the last hour about spring training results. Now, definitely the
3:33
Speaker 4: game results that don't necessarily matter. However, the player results are.
3:37
Speaker 3: Kind of nice.
3:37
Speaker 4: And to see who's who's rolling now, you hope it's
3:40
Speaker 4: not a Brad Nelson situation where the guy can't stop
3:43
Speaker 4: clubbing doubles and home runs and then comes up here
3:46
Speaker 4: and can't hit himself out of a paper bag for
3:48
Speaker 4: twenty at bats and gets sent down. But you know,
3:51
Speaker 4: we were talking about Blake Perkins and Garrett Mitchell being
3:54
Speaker 4: in the midst there, and then two bombs from Brandon
3:57
Speaker 4: Lockridge where I was unfamiliar with your power game. Brandonridge
4:00
Speaker 4: going in here, that's another dude that could factor in there.
4:03
Speaker 4: I do think the triple A part is could be
4:06
Speaker 4: a part of the equation for Mitchell, but I don't.
4:08
Speaker 3: Necessarily know that would mean that they'd be completely.
4:10
Speaker 4: Punting on him, right I think he's got an option
4:12
Speaker 4: left yet for somebody that hasn't played that much.
4:15
Speaker 3: I don't know that that would be the worst. I
4:17
Speaker 3: think the situation should be in the cards. Yeah, Breckenridge.
4:20
Speaker 3: Lockridge is the guy they like who's kind of like
4:23
Speaker 3: their style of dude. He's like a Garrett Mitchell's one
4:26
Speaker 3: hundred percent.
4:27
Speaker 4: Yes, it just insanely muscle bound and as fast as
4:30
Speaker 4: all get out, and also too, you're gonna have to
4:34
Speaker 4: take Blake Perkins off the field, and I know Murph
4:36
Speaker 4: does not like necessarily taking Blake Perkins off of the field.
4:39
Speaker 4: He's got his guys. We played the Miserowski tape. I
4:42
Speaker 4: know there were a lot of players that spoke with
4:43
Speaker 4: the Foul Territory guys in U at Brewers Camp yesterday.
4:47
Speaker 4: But uh, there's certain players that he has an affinity for,
4:50
Speaker 4: and Blake Perkins is one of them for the way
4:53
Speaker 4: he plays the game and got a little bit of
4:55
Speaker 4: a clutch factor to him as well. That center field
4:57
Speaker 4: spot is a fascinating, fascinating position for the crew, as
5:01
Speaker 4: much as we talked about third base, because the one
5:03
Speaker 4: they subtracted completely for well, the one that you have
5:05
Speaker 4: the most options at might be the one that gives
5:07
Speaker 4: us the most conversation throughout the year.
5:10
Speaker 3: That's very true, very true. And for a team that
5:13
Speaker 3: won ninety seven games to come back like that, there
5:15
Speaker 3: aren't a lot of positional questions and stuff. They can
5:18
Speaker 3: you know, they're running it back. Did you see that
5:19
Speaker 3: they're picked to win like what eighty five, eighty six,
5:22
Speaker 3: eighty seven games somewhere the Pakodas, Yeah, which is an
5:25
Speaker 3: improving over last year. Right, fan grafts had them.
5:28
Speaker 4: I think almost like naming your under five hundred, yeah
5:30
Speaker 4: for their projection of it.
5:31
Speaker 3: So it'll just be brutal.
5:32
Speaker 5: We'll give you guys four more wins. I'm still taking
5:34
Speaker 5: the over on that. I like the Bers at least
5:37
Speaker 5: eighty eight. But that's you know, there's a lot that
5:39
Speaker 5: we don't know what will happen the lot again prognosticate.
5:41
Speaker 3: No question, but it all paper the Cubs are better,
5:44
Speaker 3: but on the field the Birds beat them.
5:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, and and Drew I think the the other fun
5:49
Speaker 4: part in baseball is so much fun with numbers and
5:52
Speaker 4: uh projections and prognostications. But then still when certain places
5:57
Speaker 4: got to put their money where their mouth is, the
5:58
Speaker 4: Potawatomy sports book still has the Brewers as a minus
6:01
Speaker 4: one seventy favorite to make the playoffs, right and believing
6:05
Speaker 4: that you are going to win about eighty six eighty
6:07
Speaker 4: seven games, which is going to be closer to that realm. Now,
6:09
Speaker 4: maybe they don't find a third ten game win streak
6:13
Speaker 4: and there are a double digit win streak like they
6:15
Speaker 4: did a year ago, but it is hard to see
6:18
Speaker 4: them not being able to hit a run in the
6:22
Speaker 4: midst of the season right where they do rattle off
6:25
Speaker 4: eighteen and go eighteen and five in our run of
6:28
Speaker 4: twenty three games through a month, Like they've just done
6:31
Speaker 4: it too many times to not think that that one's
6:33
Speaker 4: gonna happen.
6:33
Speaker 3: I've definitely shown that they can do that absolutely. Yeah,
6:36
Speaker 3: eight seven, seven, seven, nine, four ninety seven three. Buy
6:39
Speaker 3: or sell Tuesday with the boys here? All right? I
6:43
Speaker 3: guess are you buying or selling that? The Packers can
6:46
Speaker 3: rattle their sabers all they want, but there's really nothing
6:49
Speaker 3: they can do if people are going to sell their
6:50
Speaker 3: season tickets. I mean they're threatening now, like you just
6:55
Speaker 3: I have people in my family that happens for years
6:58
Speaker 3: and they would sell them. Yeah, upon arrival and always
7:03
Speaker 3: they're trying to not do that. I'm trying not to
7:05
Speaker 3: let people do that.
7:07
Speaker 5: Well, I appreciate it because it always you know, a
7:08
Speaker 5: billion It always offended me as a Packer fan that
7:11
Speaker 5: they've used their ticket as a commodity. But then then
7:13
Speaker 5: it gets into the hole I can't You shouldn't tell
7:15
Speaker 5: people to do what their money.
7:16
Speaker 4: My favorite thing is telling people what they should do
7:17
Speaker 4: with their money and resources and judging how people utilize
7:21
Speaker 4: their areas. But like for for this one, I think
7:25
Speaker 4: it's very interesting and you know, close to home for
7:28
Speaker 4: for some in the Milwaukee area where families have groups
7:32
Speaker 4: of tickets, right and if indeed the same person is
7:36
Speaker 4: using those tickets, but it's not the person that is
7:38
Speaker 4: committed to purchasing the large steak that they did, you know,
7:42
Speaker 4: like my uh, I've said it a.
7:44
Speaker 3: Number of times.
7:45
Speaker 4: My uncle owned a bar in the West Alis area
7:48
Speaker 4: and had I think you damn here, had like a
7:50
Speaker 4: hundred tickets to the Packers games when they're at County Stadium.
7:53
Speaker 4: Upwards of that when the games were there, he's got
7:55
Speaker 4: close to forty still of people that have committed they
7:58
Speaker 4: buy two, they buy two day, buy two, and they
8:00
Speaker 4: do throughout the year. They have for thirty five forty years,
8:04
Speaker 4: they've paid all of the seat licensing for them, but
8:06
Speaker 4: they're technically not under that person's name. Will those tickets
8:11
Speaker 4: be thrown right back into the pool? And that's gonna
8:13
Speaker 4: be a fascinating one if there is any conversation, or
8:16
Speaker 4: as the post said right there, we'll just take your
8:19
Speaker 4: tickets and not talk to you, Like we'll take your
8:21
Speaker 4: tickets and you're not gonna even know about it. That's
8:24
Speaker 4: a hell of a statement to be able to say
8:26
Speaker 4: there the same.
8:27
Speaker 3: Craig Benzel quoted in the press release, our season ticket
8:29
Speaker 3: holders are central to Lambellfield significant home field advantage in
8:32
Speaker 3: game day experience. We continue to emphasize the purpose of
8:35
Speaker 3: having season tickets which to attend games and contribute to
8:38
Speaker 3: that atmosphere. Simply put, Packers season ticket holders who purchase
8:41
Speaker 3: their tickets with the sole intent of reselling them should
8:44
Speaker 3: not be Packers season ticket holders. Yeah, and that could
8:48
Speaker 3: be and that could be bold. The cash is the cash.
8:52
Speaker 3: The money's in like they're spending the money.
8:54
Speaker 4: And there's always the talk of all the people that
8:56
Speaker 4: would say, oh, I would love it, I would have
8:58
Speaker 4: them in a second, I would do it, and then
9:00
Speaker 4: when the cash and the money and the bill actually came,
9:03
Speaker 4: how many would actually put the money where their mouth
9:05
Speaker 4: is and do whatever.
9:06
Speaker 3: So that is a good question.
9:07
Speaker 5: We never really hear about the people that put themselves
9:09
Speaker 5: on the list only to get a chance then turn
9:10
Speaker 5: it down. I really don't know how many there are.
9:12
Speaker 5: That's a good question, Billy, and I appreciate you bringing
9:15
Speaker 5: that up.
9:16
Speaker 3: I was a buddy Sunburn Bowl one MVP Jason Yes
9:20
Speaker 3: recently cracked through after the waiting list of a year
9:22
Speaker 3: and he got tickets like two years ago.
9:24
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it's you know, that was always a right
9:27
Speaker 5: of passage for a lot of people in the state
9:29
Speaker 5: when you were kids, like I put my grandkids down
9:31
Speaker 5: on the list, and I put my kids down.
9:33
Speaker 3: Moved up, and then their grandparents and they get the tickets.
9:35
Speaker 5: For the dream to one day be at Lambellfield and
9:37
Speaker 5: the dream to one day sell them and try and
9:39
Speaker 5: make a hundred bucks. I think that's the one thing
9:41
Speaker 5: that it's still distasteful to some people. And the packers
9:43
Speaker 5: are doing what they can now, is it only for
9:45
Speaker 5: the out of town situation?
9:47
Speaker 3: I know the way Pro football talk.
9:49
Speaker 5: I saw Florial framing this as they're trying to keep
9:51
Speaker 5: cheese graters out of lambeau Field. And I don't know
9:54
Speaker 5: if that's totally fair, although I'm sure that's a byproduct
9:56
Speaker 5: of it. Yes, the Packers won Packer fans there, but
9:59
Speaker 5: they also just don't want their tickets to be resold
10:01
Speaker 5: as commodities all the time.
10:03
Speaker 3: Yeah. I've said for years that Packers tickets are underpriced,
10:07
Speaker 3: and people think I'm crazy, but it's like, well, look,
10:09
Speaker 3: because you can buy them for double the face on
10:13
Speaker 3: the secondary market all the time. It tells you that
10:15
Speaker 3: the Packers could be charging more for season tickets. Yeah,
10:17
Speaker 3: for a one hundred and fifty thousand people on the list. Now,
10:20
Speaker 3: people who hold those tickets have had them like your family,
10:22
Speaker 3: and people've had for years. Yeah, it would suck, they
10:25
Speaker 3: would be squeezed out, but there's somebody waiting to give
10:27
Speaker 3: them the money.
10:27
Speaker 4: There's somebody waiting to give them the money. And the
10:29
Speaker 4: interesting thing is drew though, Like as much as that
10:32
Speaker 4: had always been the case, how many times do we
10:34
Speaker 4: go when we're driving up an hour before the game,
10:37
Speaker 4: or whenever we end up pulling into the lot, I
10:40
Speaker 4: always jump up on the secondary market and see what
10:42
Speaker 4: the lowest ticket is and almost every single time you
10:44
Speaker 4: can get in right around face value, right right towards
10:48
Speaker 4: game time. So it's the ticket market and the experience
10:53
Speaker 4: of NFL games is a totally different conversation than it
10:55
Speaker 4: was twenty.
10:56
Speaker 3: Five years ago. And the packers will always have to
10:58
Speaker 3: fight the fact that Lambo's it's the destination, it's a mecca.
11:01
Speaker 3: People watch it, it's romanticized. They want to see it.
11:04
Speaker 3: It's the cathedral they gotta and so there's a strong
11:07
Speaker 3: impulse for people to want to buy tickets one way
11:10
Speaker 3: or another. Yeah, So they create that demand on the
11:13
Speaker 3: secondary market.
11:14
Speaker 4: And that's that's the part of it that I've always wondered,
11:16
Speaker 4: where it's the well, we don't have the chance, I
11:18
Speaker 4: don't have the chance to buy it again, would you
11:20
Speaker 4: do it year in and year out? Because it is
11:22
Speaker 4: the thought of well, you have one time and then
11:26
Speaker 4: it is the novelty then quickly wears off and then
11:28
Speaker 4: all of a sudden you're like sitting here, WHOA, I
11:29
Speaker 4: do have this charge that I'm gonna have at thirty
11:31
Speaker 4: eight wonder? Oh yeah, yeah, that's gonna that's gonna be
11:34
Speaker 4: interesting for me to stomach. You know what, I could
11:35
Speaker 4: slice that in half. If I don't go to three
11:38
Speaker 4: games here, I can't make the Bears game. I know
11:41
Speaker 4: I could sell that one for a lot. I know
11:43
Speaker 4: Cindy really wanted to go to the Lions one. Hey,
11:45
Speaker 4: you start listing it off and trying to rationalize it
11:48
Speaker 4: because it is a huge investment at the end.
11:50
Speaker 3: Of the day, and you right to check up front.
11:52
Speaker 3: I think correct.
11:54
Speaker 5: And I had a buddy that Yeah, he never said it,
11:57
Speaker 5: but I think he secretly resented his dad from putting
11:59
Speaker 5: on the list because he inherited those tickets and then
12:02
Speaker 5: he kind of felt the pressure to keep them all
12:03
Speaker 5: those years and he had to write the check and
12:06
Speaker 5: it was a lot of money, and he's like, here
12:07
Speaker 5: we go again. But the thing is he finally took
12:10
Speaker 5: the plunge and sold them back to the packers. He's like,
12:12
Speaker 5: all right, I'm done with this. I'm done with this,
12:14
Speaker 5: and my family hates me, so be it. Because he
12:16
Speaker 5: was trying to get rid of him every year because
12:18
Speaker 5: it was something he was gifted but didn't really want.
12:20
Speaker 5: It was Tamos a burden. And I guess there are
12:23
Speaker 5: people that feel that way about it that never made
12:25
Speaker 5: the choice to go into it with the intention of
12:28
Speaker 5: doing it, and I do understand that a bit, you know,
12:30
Speaker 5: But then there's that option just to sell them back
12:33
Speaker 5: to the packers.
12:34
Speaker 4: But I think the part that in Arman and I
12:36
Speaker 4: have always quibbled with this because for Arman, it's an
12:38
Speaker 4: all or nothing thing. It's, uh, you're either going to
12:41
Speaker 4: sell all of them and that's ridiculous, or you need
12:45
Speaker 4: to go to every single game, and why on earth
12:46
Speaker 4: would you miss one? Well, life does happen, right, and
12:49
Speaker 4: there's there's a lot of things. And again the part
12:52
Speaker 4: of it being your asset. I struggled telling people how
12:55
Speaker 4: to live their lives and what to do and how
12:57
Speaker 4: to go about their day and eating. But if it's
13:00
Speaker 4: you know, the three games that you're not going to
13:02
Speaker 4: be able to make, ultimately end up paying for a
13:04
Speaker 4: third of your tickets and allow you to go to
13:06
Speaker 4: the games, there's there's always concessions. And as I just
13:10
Speaker 4: I always hate being the one to say I'm gonna
13:13
Speaker 4: tell you what to do with your asset.
13:15
Speaker 3: You get north of a certain age, you have your
13:18
Speaker 3: desire to sit in cold weather games in December is
13:21
Speaker 3: greatly diminished. Well, in the interesting thing, some people just
13:23
Speaker 3: sell those right off the top.
13:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I mean also think about you just mentioned
13:27
Speaker 4: it to certain you know, family and friends. There also
13:29
Speaker 4: could be you know, we always talk about Aunt Marge
13:32
Speaker 4: or you know, Uncle Tom that have tickets. Well, guess what,
13:34
Speaker 4: they've also now realized that they have three grand kids
13:37
Speaker 4: and two kids that would really really love to go
13:40
Speaker 4: to the games. And that's also going to be their
13:42
Speaker 4: Christmas present. So now for the last three years, we've
13:44
Speaker 4: still had the tickets, but we're giving them to these
13:46
Speaker 4: two different groups, and then all of a sudden, they're
13:48
Speaker 4: not the ones walking through the gate. I'm interested to
13:50
Speaker 4: see if that's one that gets flagged like this is
13:54
Speaker 4: all right, facial recognition. They know when the ticket gets
13:57
Speaker 4: sent it because every single one of them's digitized. Maybe
14:00
Speaker 4: there is some some context that gets brought into it,
14:03
Speaker 4: but it seems rather cut and dry that they're going
14:06
Speaker 4: to drop the drop the hammer whenever they feel necessary.
14:09
Speaker 3: It does. I just saw that the Lakers juice their
14:11
Speaker 3: tickets and you see worldwide wob Rob Perez. I love
14:15
Speaker 3: that account guy. Yeah, he posted Friday that his teats
14:18
Speaker 3: are going up fourteen percent and they're attacking on a
14:20
Speaker 3: three percent administrative fee if the invoice is not paid
14:23
Speaker 3: in full at the start, because he used to they
14:25
Speaker 3: used to let you pay an installments. I was saying
14:27
Speaker 3: that used to be. And another guy pointed out in
14:31
Speaker 3: his seat turned the three hundred level at Lakers games,
14:34
Speaker 3: not down by the celebrities, but he said his the
14:37
Speaker 3: price in twenty twenty four to twenty five was five
14:40
Speaker 3: four and ninety four dollars a seat. Then it went
14:43
Speaker 3: to six thousand. In next season. They want to get
14:46
Speaker 3: nine thousand. Yeah, the efforts will als six percent increase
14:50
Speaker 3: in three years.
14:51
Speaker 5: Ever will always be to see how much they can
14:53
Speaker 5: they can separate, you know, patrons from their money and
14:55
Speaker 5: how much, and then patrons will always try and find
14:57
Speaker 5: a way to circumvent that and try and find different
15:00
Speaker 5: ways to find value. That competition will always occur, you know,
15:03
Speaker 5: That's just the way it is.
15:04
Speaker 3: But some of these ticket prices are getting high.
15:06
Speaker 5: We we kind of made jokes throughout the buck seasons
15:09
Speaker 5: recently about you know, the secondary market dropping when you
15:12
Speaker 5: honest doesn't play, you know, and that's that's part of it,
15:15
Speaker 5: because it is hard to you know, bring the family
15:17
Speaker 5: to games on the face value.
15:18
Speaker 3: Sometimes with the second mark the sports teams. At least
15:21
Speaker 3: they're like doing this individually and they can have their
15:23
Speaker 3: policies and do their stuff. Like last week, Springsteen tickets
15:27
Speaker 3: went on sale for his tour, right, and you go
15:30
Speaker 3: online and it, you know, you get the spinning wheel
15:32
Speaker 3: of death and you're trying to get tickets and loading, looting, loading,
15:36
Speaker 3: and then you get thrown into the queue and they've
15:39
Speaker 3: been on they want to seal, they've been on sale
15:41
Speaker 3: for five minutes, right, but you know how quickly they
15:43
Speaker 3: sell out because they're bots and barkers and all that.
15:46
Speaker 3: They try to do this. But then you go on
15:48
Speaker 3: and like, oh, seats near the stage are available seventeen
15:53
Speaker 3: hundred dollars a seat Ticketmaster verified resale. You're telling me
15:57
Speaker 3: someone bought these and is already trying to flip them
16:00
Speaker 3: or are you just scalping your own tickets? And that's
16:03
Speaker 3: what these greedy bastards are doing. And that's the real
16:06
Speaker 3: the crux. They took a ticket that's like a three
16:09
Speaker 3: hundred dollars face value, it's selling it verified is seventeen
16:13
Speaker 3: one hundred dollars. The Cubs got caught doing that, they
16:15
Speaker 3: opened up a little ticket shop like a block from
16:17
Speaker 3: Wrigley in a building that they own, and they just
16:20
Speaker 3: started to sell tickets and people would wander up and
16:23
Speaker 3: they thought they were you know, oh, it's like cool,
16:26
Speaker 3: I can buy these scarce They were their own tickets
16:28
Speaker 3: to their own marketing market. They got caught, And that's
16:31
Speaker 3: just the guzziest thing you can do, really is.
16:33
Speaker 5: That's why I've always made the I've made the statement
16:35
Speaker 5: a lot of times when people talk about face value
16:37
Speaker 5: and I'm like, in reality, there's really no such thing
16:40
Speaker 5: sometimes as face value anymore. Face value is whatever the
16:44
Speaker 5: secondary market is already priced. Add buy that organization or
16:47
Speaker 5: buy that ticket group.
16:49
Speaker 4: Well, the Brewers have a little bit of way of
16:51
Speaker 4: trying to lock it in of like you know that
16:53
Speaker 4: you're probably going to pay twenty bucks for a bleacher seat.
16:56
Speaker 3: However, there is whatever the dynamic pricing at all.
16:59
Speaker 4: It's seven different series, and you're like, well, wait, almost
17:02
Speaker 4: half the series, half the series in the first three
17:05
Speaker 4: months are elevated up and I'm paying damn near twice
17:08
Speaker 4: what I'm paying for these seats.
17:10
Speaker 2: Yeah.
17:10
Speaker 5: I think some are like musical arts have tried to
17:13
Speaker 5: push up against that, right, They've tried.
17:15
Speaker 3: There's different ways Springsteen does that with his pit in
17:19
Speaker 3: front of the stage. You gotta get there for the wristbands. Yeah,
17:22
Speaker 3: so do we get some? I haven't yet. I'm just tried.
17:25
Speaker 3: But it was we're at I was on the beach.
17:27
Speaker 3: I want to go to Chicago. Is he doing a Solderfield?
17:30
Speaker 3: Then obviously no United Centers Springs. He's doing Arenas to
17:34
Speaker 3: start and then but I was like I was on
17:37
Speaker 3: the beach. I didn't have a good Wi Fi but
17:39
Speaker 3: so so I eventually gave up. But in some ways,
17:45
Speaker 3: and again going back to when I was in high
17:46
Speaker 3: school and school and shows will go like you maybe
17:49
Speaker 3: skip school and be at Sears or mainstream records and tapes,
17:54
Speaker 3: like you go, hey, there's a Sears and Whitefish Bad
17:56
Speaker 3: and there's never anybody there. You go there and you're
17:58
Speaker 3: first in line and you get good seats, you know. Yeah,
18:03
Speaker 3: at the box office to do it. I think it
18:05
Speaker 3: was a store. I had a ticket Master out there. Yeah.
18:07
Speaker 4: I think it was a Pigley Wiggly if I'm not mistaken.
18:10
Speaker 4: I sat with my dad for a good two hours,
18:13
Speaker 4: uh one day when they were trying to get Eagles tickets.
18:15
Speaker 4: I mean like like we were camped out waiting. We
18:18
Speaker 4: were inside, so we were all making sure. But uh,
18:21
Speaker 4: he was not allowing my mom to miss that show
18:23
Speaker 4: because he would not have heard the end my mom
18:26
Speaker 4: missing that show. That that was one of the beauties
18:29
Speaker 4: of it though, knowing that you were just going to
18:30
Speaker 4: camp out and there, I know there's four people over
18:32
Speaker 4: here in front of me that were going to get
18:34
Speaker 4: these seats, but I'm gonna get something unless all of
18:36
Speaker 4: a sudden, when those.
18:38
Speaker 3: Online guys started coming in there with the early days
18:41
Speaker 3: of the online.
18:42
Speaker 5: One Eastern Conference finals, this was a big undercurrent of
18:45
Speaker 5: the story, a big side story. When the Bucks beat
18:48
Speaker 5: the Hornets, a bunch of people started waiting out in
18:50
Speaker 5: the breath. It took me formed a line at the
18:52
Speaker 5: ticket office at the Bradley Center box office, and people
18:54
Speaker 5: were already buying online. So when technology was changing, there
18:58
Speaker 5: was this sort of bloody process with the new with
19:01
Speaker 5: the new system where people that were in line they
19:04
Speaker 5: always got tickets that way, thinking were first in line,
19:06
Speaker 5: we get our first tickets.
19:07
Speaker 3: People were already buying them online. They're like, well, what's that.
19:09
Speaker 5: That doesn't seem fair, But that was just it was
19:12
Speaker 5: a brave new world of Internet. Back then it was
19:14
Speaker 5: you Internet existed, but a brave new world of commerce
19:17
Speaker 5: on the Internet.
19:18
Speaker 3: If they went back to having to buy them at
19:20
Speaker 3: the actual venue of the box office and you got
19:22
Speaker 3: people camping for Likeville or whatever.
19:26
Speaker 5: We did the winter warm up at Miller Park, my
19:28
Speaker 5: grandpa and I in two thousand gate the tailgate, that's
19:31
Speaker 5: what it was. One of my favorite memories with my grandpa.
19:33
Speaker 5: I mean, what for the first chance we can get
19:35
Speaker 5: White Sox tickets. We go up there and they were
19:37
Speaker 5: sold out for Saturday night and he couldn't understand it
19:39
Speaker 5: at all.
19:40
Speaker 3: I'm like, they've been buying them online.
19:41
Speaker 4: Grand Well, now you want to talk about the game
19:42
Speaker 4: that was the coveted opening day against the White Sox,
19:46
Speaker 4: your grandpa's would have exploited the most coveted ticket possible.
19:50
Speaker 3: I'm just glad.
19:51
Speaker 5: I'm just glad we got them for the Sunday game
19:53
Speaker 5: because we we did get a chance to see it.
19:55
Speaker 5: So that's a good memory I have with him. But
19:57
Speaker 5: it was it is crazy that that that's what it
19:59
Speaker 5: is now.
19:59
Speaker 3: People anytime there's a system like that, there's people work
20:02
Speaker 3: in the game. It oh you go. If you went
20:04
Speaker 3: back to those days, then the brokers started paying homeless
20:07
Speaker 3: people to stand in line, yeah and buy the tickets
20:09
Speaker 3: and they give them five bucks to go by. So
20:12
Speaker 3: it ain't sold out. It ain't sold out, it ain't
20:15
Speaker 3: sold out.
20:16
Speaker 4: I like there, there's always a time for somebody to
20:19
Speaker 4: be able to make a buck.
20:19
Speaker 3: I do.
20:21
Speaker 4: I do yearn for the day. Though, again, where we
20:23
Speaker 4: get the Arctic Tailgate?
20:25
Speaker 2: Now?
20:25
Speaker 4: I I also though if it means that we get
20:27
Speaker 4: drew the if it means we get the Arctic tailgate
20:30
Speaker 4: or fan Fest, I'll take fan Fest, right, I'll take
20:33
Speaker 4: fan Fest.
20:34
Speaker 3: I'll take the Brewers up or something.
20:36
Speaker 4: But uh, there always was something beautiful a couple of
20:39
Speaker 4: weeks last week or twelve days ago, Brewers tickets went
20:42
Speaker 4: on sale, single game tickets.
20:44
Speaker 3: Oh, we jumped on that bad way. That is a
20:45
Speaker 3: fun moment though, the older getting in there right away.
20:48
Speaker 3: The old fan Fest would have been Carson's like just
20:51
Speaker 3: over the moon, dude.
20:52
Speaker 4: We went to Brookfield Square to go see Santa. But
20:57
Speaker 4: one of Santa's helpers was that Brookfield Square. That's a
21:00
Speaker 4: system works. Yeah yeah, And all I could think of
21:03
Speaker 4: was when they brought the big rising table in over
21:05
Speaker 4: by the old Clubhouse, store, and that's where brewers on
21:08
Speaker 4: deck Usta. Yeah, memories very very quickly turned into the
21:12
Speaker 4: Barn Center and it was always good either way.
21:14
Speaker 3: I hope they can bring it back.
21:16
Speaker 5: By the way, quick update, we do have Boss Dobler
21:18
Speaker 5: extending the olive branch here to Matthew.
21:21
Speaker 3: Looks like if I'm reading this right, olive branch.
21:23
Speaker 2: Oh.
21:23
Speaker 5: Their boys, Yeah, they're like, you know, we'll see what's
21:26
Speaker 5: going on right with this?
21:28
Speaker 3: Is this a peace offering? Are we making up? Hey Dobbler,
21:31
Speaker 3: what's the olive branch for? You might block you, so
21:34
Speaker 3: we'll see how things go. It goes, we'll see.
21:37
Speaker 5: I think we're making friends now on the text line
21:39
Speaker 5: or the comment side.
21:41
Speaker 3: Peace has arrived on our shores, which is amazing. All right,
21:44
Speaker 3: it's the it's the huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. We're
21:51
Speaker 3: huddled up. Drew billion armon Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin nine
21:54
Speaker 3: twenty Milwaukee, ten seventy Madison, iHeartRadio app everywhere. Taking your
21:59
Speaker 3: buyer cell proper positions eight seven seven seven nine four
22:02
Speaker 3: one ninety seven three gets you to the Nicolay Law
22:04
Speaker 3: dot com talk and tax line. Hear from some folks
22:09
Speaker 3: like we were talking about the packers ticket situation and
22:11
Speaker 3: their desire to keep packers uh tickets in the hands
22:15
Speaker 3: of packers fans. Is that a big ask? Like you
22:18
Speaker 3: buy seting tickets, they're your property. You can do what
22:20
Speaker 3: you want with them in theory, but packers are trying
22:23
Speaker 3: to maintain some control. I get it, but some things
22:26
Speaker 3: that are out of control. Not every team in professional
22:29
Speaker 3: sports has one hundred and fifty thousand people waiting to
22:31
Speaker 3: builder season tickets in fact difference. In fact, there are
22:35
Speaker 3: several Bucks fans who come into the end of a
22:38
Speaker 3: three year contract who are wondering whether they should renew,
22:42
Speaker 3: and some I've talked to might not.
22:44
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, but they're salivating at the opportunity
22:46
Speaker 4: to have to the not have to renew within that
22:49
Speaker 4: and the price.
22:52
Speaker 3: And that's why, that's why it's just so fascinating, because
22:55
Speaker 3: the gymnastics that go into the the Yannis calculus oh
22:59
Speaker 3: thousand percent, because it's like, oh, we can't they can't
23:02
Speaker 3: afford to lose Giannis in so many ways. Now, okay,
23:06
Speaker 3: we've talked about it. We've talked about it for the
23:08
Speaker 3: last couple years. Intellectually, you can absolutely see a way
23:10
Speaker 3: where the path forward, given Yannis's age is too m
23:14
Speaker 3: h is lengthy, injuries or trade and move on. But
23:18
Speaker 3: then what does it look like, what does life look
23:22
Speaker 3: like without him? And how crippling is that to lose
23:26
Speaker 3: a big chunk of revenue.
23:27
Speaker 4: It's always easy Drew to look and see the end
23:31
Speaker 4: game of the process, but that inside the process part
23:34
Speaker 4: doesn't always feel the same. Right, go ask the seventy
23:37
Speaker 4: six years how the process has worked. Where they're still
23:39
Speaker 4: trying to dig out of the rubbish that was just
23:43
Speaker 4: losing an eye knowing you're going to lose for a
23:45
Speaker 4: significant amount of time. Where the point where they're selling
23:47
Speaker 4: tickets on resale for like three or four bucks and
23:50
Speaker 4: people are getting in for you know, they're getting a
23:53
Speaker 4: whole family worth of tickets, a row worth of tickets
23:56
Speaker 4: for how much it costs to park your car outside
23:59
Speaker 4: the arenas. Right like that is that that's a real
24:02
Speaker 4: slippery slope that Bucks fans are gonna have to deal.
24:04
Speaker 4: And I know the own ownership or the new ownership
24:07
Speaker 4: had a you know, an edict and a plan to
24:10
Speaker 4: be like we no longer want to be the team
24:13
Speaker 4: where people know I can show up to Wendy's the
24:15
Speaker 4: ones that are still open.
24:17
Speaker 3: Uh, and just get Bucks tickets right, like I I.
24:19
Speaker 4: You can show up somewhere and all of a sudden,
24:21
Speaker 4: Bengal will drop off one hundred tickets to the game.
24:24
Speaker 3: They wanted that one to get away.
24:26
Speaker 4: But if you let big Fella get away, I think
24:27
Speaker 4: you might be having to go to a couple more
24:29
Speaker 4: Wendy stores.
24:29
Speaker 5: Absolutely, that's the point. I mean, it's easy when that's
24:32
Speaker 5: the when that's the product. But when that's not the product,
24:35
Speaker 5: then what happens?
24:36
Speaker 2: Right?
24:36
Speaker 3: And then if the price is the same.
24:39
Speaker 5: NBA tickets right now across the league are sort of
24:42
Speaker 5: a not it's a depreciable asset. Like when when you
24:46
Speaker 5: when you think about buying season tickets, it's like, is
24:48
Speaker 5: this a good investment? Because the value of them is
24:51
Speaker 5: not looked at the perception of the values is decreasing
24:54
Speaker 5: amongst them. So if you ask me, I would you know,
24:57
Speaker 5: I'll be like, well, if the price is the same
24:58
Speaker 5: or not less, why would I buy these season tickets
25:00
Speaker 5: at this point?
25:01
Speaker 3: And that's the thing. I have been a season ticket
25:04
Speaker 3: holder in my life for two years, the first two
25:07
Speaker 3: years of then Miller Park, because while they were were
25:10
Speaker 3: sitting in the old press Box County Stadium. Hardricourt and
25:13
Speaker 3: I and we asked our buddy Bob Voyd battle in.
25:15
Speaker 3: Bob Voyd, the director of ticket sales, what's the best
25:17
Speaker 3: seat in the new ballpark for the money? He said,
25:20
Speaker 3: for the money, the best seat in the ballpark is
25:22
Speaker 3: the first row of the right field bleachers right kind
25:25
Speaker 3: of by the bullpen there like that, that little area,
25:28
Speaker 3: that first level and at Section one. Those seats. We
25:35
Speaker 3: bought four of those seats. Hawder Court and I went
25:37
Speaker 3: because he's like, those are eight dollars apiece. Those seats
25:40
Speaker 3: in the first row of the bleachers. You're basically on
25:42
Speaker 3: top of the right fielder. You can see me the
25:43
Speaker 3: bullpens and stuff. They've kind of taken away some of
25:45
Speaker 3: that they made that starty season tickets were initially they
25:49
Speaker 3: made that party area but for eight bucks, so for
25:52
Speaker 3: thirty two bucks a game. We had those four seats
25:56
Speaker 3: for the first two seasons. Now, the first season, you know,
25:58
Speaker 3: magical new ballpark. Everybody to see. Everyone wanted to be there.
26:01
Speaker 3: The second season was the All Star Game, right, so
26:03
Speaker 3: you had to So that's kind of why we wanted
26:05
Speaker 3: to be able to buy take and then it was
26:07
Speaker 3: another level for harder Court because he could bitch at
26:10
Speaker 3: Windy and Budd and tell him that he was a
26:12
Speaker 3: season ticket holder complaining, not just the guy with a
26:15
Speaker 3: you know a my line, yeah we're invested now it
26:19
Speaker 3: got It was so funny too, because when he's like,
26:21
Speaker 3: I didn't think it get worse with you.
26:23
Speaker 4: Guys, but it didn't your money, Like we love your business,
26:27
Speaker 4: but we don't like the the ramifications that now we
26:30
Speaker 4: can bitch a season so I have been a scene
26:31
Speaker 4: take all.
26:32
Speaker 3: That's funny. To Arman's point, if I got enough glue
26:35
Speaker 3: to sit where Jim kast Merrick does, or David Gruber,
26:38
Speaker 3: the guys that are courts at and you don't want
26:39
Speaker 3: to see him be seen if you're doing, if you're
26:41
Speaker 3: writing it off for business, it's different. But if I
26:43
Speaker 3: got enough glue to do that is the juice worth
26:46
Speaker 3: the squeeze for forty one nights? Can I do I
26:49
Speaker 3: want to invest to go to that many games? Be
26:51
Speaker 3: there for the playoffs which aren't a given this year?
26:54
Speaker 3: And if I had that kind of glue, is do
26:57
Speaker 3: I want to sit? Like if I want to go
26:59
Speaker 3: to a game, I can pop and save money. Just
27:01
Speaker 3: go to that one game, even if it's the Lakers,
27:03
Speaker 3: even if it's a Game seven, I'll pay the extra
27:06
Speaker 3: money and go to that game and sit in that
27:09
Speaker 3: seat rather than have it. I mean, there's something to
27:11
Speaker 3: be said for having it. And it's an I said,
27:12
Speaker 3: And if you have that kind of I don't have
27:14
Speaker 3: that kind of income right where I could just you know, yeah,
27:17
Speaker 3: well just ride it out.
27:18
Speaker 4: If I go, it works, If not, it doesn't, Yeah, give.
27:21
Speaker 3: Them my employee the month or something gift and things
27:25
Speaker 3: like that. At the end the second year when the
27:27
Speaker 3: brewis that was the year the All Star game. Brewis
27:29
Speaker 3: lost like one hundred and six games that you could
27:30
Speaker 3: lun with September, we were leaving games. I was, I'd
27:34
Speaker 3: go to lunch and I would leave like tickets as
27:37
Speaker 3: a tip, like here you go, here, you go here,
27:39
Speaker 3: we got some tickets for Here's tickets to Saturday's Brewers game.
27:43
Speaker 4: Is extra. You know, I'm giving I still tip, right
27:46
Speaker 4: Here's I like that even better though, Yeah, a little
27:48
Speaker 4: added value.
27:49
Speaker 3: And we had a hard time even give them away,
27:51
Speaker 3: Like and that wasn't a big investment, like I said,
27:55
Speaker 3: thirty two dollars a game, big deal, No, But it's
27:57
Speaker 3: always the thought of, man, these guys are getting rich.
27:59
Speaker 4: And I remember one of my old bosses, him and
28:02
Speaker 4: a number of friends had the same deal and they
28:05
Speaker 4: had in the terrorist level, like one of the first
28:08
Speaker 4: rows of the actual terrorist reserve. So it was technically
28:12
Speaker 4: the most inexpensive seat, but would have been the best
28:14
Speaker 4: for the money that way. And it was like six
28:17
Speaker 4: or eight bucks a game for that, and that's how
28:19
Speaker 4: you would buy him through the week, and they had
28:21
Speaker 4: it all spreadsheeted out, And like, I don't know how
28:24
Speaker 4: many of those individuals there are anymore. I do believe
28:27
Speaker 4: the majority of it is, you know what, we can't
28:30
Speaker 4: go anymore.
28:30
Speaker 3: Right, and then we still have them. We're still putting
28:32
Speaker 3: the money out.
28:33
Speaker 4: And if you know Cindy who we usually give him
28:36
Speaker 4: out to for Christmas or my son goes to one
28:38
Speaker 4: of the cold games, like Jenny and Appleton said, I
28:40
Speaker 4: have gold package tickets since they played in Milwauke, since
28:42
Speaker 4: they stopped paying in Milwaukee a few years ago. My
28:43
Speaker 4: number came up for green package tickets. Between the seat
28:46
Speaker 4: licensing and the price of tickets, it was over twelve grand.
28:50
Speaker 4: We're retired and I don't have that money at the moment.
28:52
Speaker 4: My kids didn't want them either because of the huge
28:54
Speaker 4: annual investment. So we go to one game in September.
28:56
Speaker 4: My son takes the cold game and usually end up
28:59
Speaker 4: giving away the preseas game because like that, you almost have.
29:02
Speaker 3: To give that in it.
29:03
Speaker 4: There's a lot of times the preseason game, which for
29:05
Speaker 4: the longest time they still charge the exact same price
29:08
Speaker 4: as everything else. That was a sunken cost into However,
29:13
Speaker 4: much of your one oh six the Face Stalley tickets.
29:15
Speaker 3: Were for you. Yeah, and it's life without Janis now.
29:19
Speaker 5: It's just different. It's like going to you talking about
29:22
Speaker 5: Bruce Springsteen the East Pree band. It would be great,
29:25
Speaker 5: but if you don't have the lead singer, you know
29:26
Speaker 5: it's not the same. It's not the same product. That's
29:29
Speaker 5: just the reality.
29:30
Speaker 4: But if you're a Bucks fan and not a Yiannis fan,
29:32
Speaker 4: that's true, that'll be a thing, and you know, you
29:34
Speaker 4: know there will be the value ones though that are
29:36
Speaker 4: able to because just in the same vein there's always
29:39
Speaker 4: still I believe gonna be an eight or nine or
29:40
Speaker 4: ten year old kid that is just pulling at his dad's.
29:44
Speaker 3: I want to go to a game. How was that guy, Yeah,
29:46
Speaker 3: thank you.
29:47
Speaker 4: Come on, come on, And then you're figuring out a
29:49
Speaker 4: way to do it, and you're figuring out a way
29:51
Speaker 4: to have a ten pack and you build in and
29:53
Speaker 4: have the set games to go to. But I think
29:56
Speaker 4: the mini packs Drew are probably guys the winners here
29:59
Speaker 4: going forward, because I do think the games have gotten
30:02
Speaker 4: so good in viewing experience at home.
30:05
Speaker 3: Now baseball will be a test.
30:07
Speaker 4: Yes, Baseball will be a test with their with their
30:09
Speaker 4: television rights deal that that's continuing to plummet across the league,
30:12
Speaker 4: not only with the Brewers, but the production has gotten
30:16
Speaker 4: so good and the availability of it every single night
30:19
Speaker 4: on television makes.
30:20
Speaker 3: It maybe not as must see.
30:23
Speaker 4: And and the Bucks one is is a different beast
30:26
Speaker 4: and and will continue to harp on it until the
30:28
Speaker 4: NBA no longer has to the toughest thing for me
30:31
Speaker 4: to sign up into an investment is sure, if I
30:34
Speaker 4: know Giannis is or is not on the team, I
30:38
Speaker 4: can factor that into the equation. What I can't factor
30:41
Speaker 4: into the equation is for the Lakers game, if Luca
30:45
Speaker 4: and Lebron aren't there, If all of a sudden we
30:48
Speaker 4: roll up and it's the Dallas game, and you know,
30:51
Speaker 4: I know he's a sensation, but twenty year old Cooper
30:53
Speaker 4: Flagg as a hangnail. He's not gonna be able to
30:55
Speaker 4: play to night like that. That's gonna be it that
30:56
Speaker 4: those are gonna be times where that is a part
30:59
Speaker 4: of how you're making this equation work. Where sure, I'm
31:03
Speaker 4: gonna be able to sell this one if Cooper's playing
31:05
Speaker 4: or if Contentable's playing, you can always still sell the
31:08
Speaker 4: headlining star on the other side, that's it. But unless
31:11
Speaker 4: you know that that guy's gonna play, and rarely do
31:13
Speaker 4: we know until ninety minutes before if they're gonna.
31:15
Speaker 3: Play, that's that's part of the calculus brewises to market
31:18
Speaker 3: that way. It was always like who's coming in, like,
31:21
Speaker 3: all come see all star players? Yeah, for sure, you
31:23
Speaker 3: know throttle our team well, and I do, like we
31:27
Speaker 3: joke about it.
31:27
Speaker 4: And I pinpoint one to two of Scheme's starts throughout
31:31
Speaker 4: the year because I want to go see him pitch.
31:33
Speaker 4: Do I want to see the Brewers get to him
31:35
Speaker 4: in the sixth inning after he maybe cashes over seven
31:37
Speaker 4: and a half strikeouts at the Potawatomy Sports Book for
31:39
Speaker 4: a parlay. Sure, yeah, that's what I want to see
31:41
Speaker 4: but I want to see the best players, and that's
31:44
Speaker 4: the question when you're gonna comit to those at forty
31:47
Speaker 4: one games for the NBA.

Speaker 4: that this doesn't end up being some kind of AI video,
33:14
Speaker 4: because if it is, in one of the better videos
33:16
Speaker 4: I've seen in funniest ones we've seen in.
33:18
Speaker 3: A long long, long, long, long long time. Florida.
33:23
Speaker 4: Uh saw a video that was going viral yesterday of
33:27
Speaker 4: at reel in Florida and they're reeling them in and
33:30
Speaker 4: a brand new and widely opened this is in the village,
33:34
Speaker 4: a massive Florida retirement community known I guess one in
33:37
Speaker 4: the world for its wild dating scene end quote party reputation,
33:42
Speaker 4: opened a brand new Hooters.
33:44
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
33:45
Speaker 4: And then turnout the second the doors open of these
33:48
Speaker 4: young ladies laughing and giggling as like every single middle
33:54
Speaker 4: aged guy is walking in.
33:55
Speaker 3: Here to age. These guys are all over sixty five
34:00
Speaker 3: middle aged Friend's true. I mean, these guys are on.
34:02
Speaker 4: No. I see this guy walking in, very very young
34:05
Speaker 4: and spry and ready to roll on. These folks over here,
34:07
Speaker 4: they definitely have a They definitely have a pineapple, because
34:10
Speaker 4: this guy's got a cake.
34:10
Speaker 3: I mean, cowenty percent of the village's residents are over
34:13
Speaker 3: sixty Cutter and Buck Peter Millar. They gonna work out
34:16
Speaker 3: with that group. I mean, it's like they say this.
34:19
Speaker 4: More Tommy Bahama. From what it looks like there's a
34:21
Speaker 4: kid right there. Oh no, well, I guess it's wings
34:25
Speaker 4: are phenomenal. I know you're right.
34:27
Speaker 3: You know, we went to the one on Laighton when
34:28
Speaker 3: it was still there in Greenfield.
34:30
Speaker 5: I remember just you know, you went there, you had wings,
34:32
Speaker 5: and you had the chicken tends or whatever they had,
34:34
Speaker 5: and you know, yeah, I guess. So it's just the
34:38
Speaker 5: imagery is hilarious of this. Videos are closing everywhere. They're
34:42
Speaker 5: in bankruptcy. Right, you're not there. You gotta know your location,
34:46
Speaker 5: you gotta know your area. And I guess there, it's
34:48
Speaker 5: gonna be very popuable.
34:48
Speaker 4: Well, and it's why, you know, as the video comes
34:51
Speaker 4: to us from uh from our friend Arman sorry, and
34:54
Speaker 4: that it does say in the midst here a brand
34:55
Speaker 4: new Hooters over the summer, and the turnout was immediate. Now,
34:59
Speaker 4: they did end up having to eat the food so
35:01
Speaker 4: very quickly. It could have been one of those that
35:03
Speaker 4: got shut down. I mean, like once you have the
35:05
Speaker 4: wings and you're like, wow, these are actually lower grade
35:08
Speaker 4: than I could probably make from the freezer aisle.
35:10
Speaker 3: If I didn't know how to cook, then it would
35:13
Speaker 3: be good. Whatever.
35:13
Speaker 5: I hear a lot of you know, guys come on
35:16
Speaker 5: seriously telling me that the food is good.
35:18
Speaker 3: They're really trying to. I will tell you.
35:20
Speaker 4: I think the last time I was out of Hooters
35:21
Speaker 4: was a couple of years ago when I was down
35:23
Speaker 4: in Phoenix for the Final Four. It was one of
35:25
Speaker 4: the only places open near our hotel. It was right
35:27
Speaker 4: by the Sun's arena, and that place was live when
35:31
Speaker 4: Sons and Caps let out, and it wasn't only the
35:35
Speaker 4: clientele that's rolling through the one in Florida, right.
35:37
Speaker 5: You're looking for a place to go. Yeah, I mean,
35:39
Speaker 5: even though there was three here, and they think they're
35:41
Speaker 5: all clear very much, even the.
35:43
Speaker 3: One in Vegas cloth at yeah, I think that one.
35:47
Speaker 3: But who was going to Oyo anyway?
35:49
Speaker 5: That's if you want to go to Hooters, right, I
35:51
Speaker 5: mean I did eat there at one time.
35:53
Speaker 3: Well, then I guess you did this.
35:54
Speaker 4: I did eat there one time, but he was on
35:57
Speaker 4: an absolute roll on that five dollars black jacket. He's like,
36:00
Speaker 4: I'm not leaving something like, well, I haven't eaten in
36:02
Speaker 4: twelve hours, so I guess we're going to Hooters.
36:04
Speaker 5: The thing is, you know, with any restaurant business, you
36:06
Speaker 5: got to know your client, tell your location, and I
36:08
Speaker 5: guess there is where it would be very successful.
36:10
Speaker 4: Now Twin Peaks is also apparently closing around, and Twin
36:14
Speaker 4: Peaks was what people were saying. You know, Hooters walk
36:18
Speaker 4: so Twin Peaks could run. It doesn't seem like that
36:20
Speaker 4: business model was working on to well either.
36:21
Speaker 3: There was a tilted Kilt too. I think, yeah, there's
36:24
Speaker 3: one of those in Green Bay, tilted killed. It's the
36:28
Speaker 3: restaurant business. Our friends in the restaurant industry are hurting
36:32
Speaker 3: right into the COVID change people's habits more takeout now
36:37
Speaker 3: it's man it's a it is it's always been a
36:41
Speaker 3: just a brutal industry, but even now it's even rougher. Oh,
36:44
Speaker 3: it's it's very very difficult now that their costs are
36:47
Speaker 3: going up and you got to pay your employees, and
36:49
Speaker 3: it's people aren't going out as much and more people
36:52
Speaker 3: the young generation kind of behind us. They don't drink
36:54
Speaker 3: as much alcohol and they don't.
36:55
Speaker 4: Drink as much no, and that's where the carry out is. Like,
36:58
Speaker 4: I don't know the last time. I think maybe if
37:00
Speaker 4: eating in a restaurant, probably twice in the last eight months.
37:03
Speaker 4: Because if indeed we're gonna get food, we're going to
37:05
Speaker 4: get takeout and bring it right home because it's gonna
37:07
Speaker 4: be the easiest and most less volatile situation for everybody
37:13
Speaker 4: else around. But I'll be honest with you, after you
37:15
Speaker 4: do it for a certain amount of time, you're like, wait,
37:18
Speaker 4: why would I do that? Like I went to see
37:20
Speaker 4: a road at night yesterday and I could not tell
37:23
Speaker 4: you the last time I was in a movie theater.
37:25
Speaker 3: That's a good place.
37:25
Speaker 4: I'll be honest with you, guys, I didn't know what
37:27
Speaker 4: to do after I bought the ticket because they used
37:30
Speaker 4: to have buddy standing right there, rip the ticket, say
37:33
Speaker 4: right down the aisle to the second door on your left.
37:36
Speaker 4: And the lady that sold me the ticket did it.
37:38
Speaker 4: I knew there was a perforated edge. I like, was
37:40
Speaker 4: I supposed to rip it myself? When I walked by? You?
37:43
Speaker 4: Just kind of want I ever been to a movie
37:45
Speaker 4: theater in probably twelve years. Yeah, so like once you
37:49
Speaker 4: once you go a certain amount of time without it,
37:51
Speaker 4: you quickly realize, I guess I don't really necessarily need this. However,
37:54
Speaker 4: it's that in one of those really comfy chairs that'll
37:58
Speaker 4: make you want to go back to the movie. Yeah,
37:59
Speaker 4: they're nice chairs. You Uh, how did you not nap?
38:04
Speaker 2: Well?
38:04
Speaker 3: And that was not a long movie. It was not
38:06
Speaker 3: a long movie. It was an.
38:07
Speaker 4: Extremely I mean like it was a it had you
38:11
Speaker 4: gripped for the entire time. But the other one is Drew.
38:14
Speaker 4: I was in like the uh what again? I learned
38:17
Speaker 4: all this dining part of the movie theater. So like
38:20
Speaker 4: you have your own table and like the comfiest office
38:23
Speaker 4: chair you've ever had in my entire life, Like you're
38:25
Speaker 4: at the Oscars basically, so it's hard to not to
38:27
Speaker 4: not potentially, you know, lean back a little bit but
38:30
Speaker 4: I was. I was sitting up for the majority of
38:32
Speaker 4: the time yesterday because otherwise those dream launchers.
38:36
Speaker 3: I don't know how you do it.
38:37
Speaker 4: I don't know how somebody goes for a two and
38:38
Speaker 4: a half hour flick and when the Marcus boys come
38:41
Speaker 4: up to tell you about their product and their movie club,
38:44
Speaker 4: how you're not dozing off before those those trailers are done.
38:47
Speaker 3: We will have to Uh. They're like, I'm.
38:52
Speaker 4: Matt Miller's That's why I got That's honestly why I
38:57
Speaker 4: got to eat popcorn. I gotta keep myself, potentially away
39:00
Speaker 4: a couple of good buy our selves here, guys on
39:02
Speaker 4: the talking text line before we get up out of here,
39:04
Speaker 4: what about Nuoner Georgian Rapids had Moran Boys buy ourself?
39:09
Speaker 4: I'm buying Matthew Golden had his sophomore slump last year,
39:12
Speaker 4: has already gotten it out of the way. Potential thousand
39:15
Speaker 4: yards buying or selling a thousand yard season for Matthew.
39:18
Speaker 3: Golden thousands a huge threshold. But I do think he'll
39:21
Speaker 3: have a really good year. I really do.
39:22
Speaker 5: It's only gonna be about opportunities and targets. It's not
39:25
Speaker 5: for not for lack of talent. I don't even think
39:27
Speaker 5: when you look back, Matthew Golden had a terrible year.
39:29
Speaker 5: I just think we didn't know how to handle.
39:31
Speaker 3: Expectations for a first round receiver. But I do think
39:34
Speaker 3: he'll have a good year.
39:35
Speaker 5: Matthew Golden has the talent, he's got a good quarterback,
39:37
Speaker 5: and I think he'll be putting positions to succeed.
39:40
Speaker 4: Now, I threw the thousand yard on top of it
39:42
Speaker 4: because he just said sophomore slump. There wasn't necessarily something
39:45
Speaker 4: to buy out of it. Would you buy that the
39:48
Speaker 4: Packers have a thousand yard receiver? I would's I would
39:51
Speaker 4: sell that probably right.
39:52
Speaker 3: It's you know, unless Tucker Craft is completely healthy and
39:56
Speaker 3: ready to go right away.
39:58
Speaker 4: Watson full year, possibly on the field, potentially full year.
40:03
Speaker 4: But I don't know that they've had a thousand yard
40:05
Speaker 4: receivers since DeVante Adam. I think so like the way
40:08
Speaker 4: that they've played in the amount is spread it around
40:10
Speaker 4: to the amount of games drew that us sitting at
40:13
Speaker 4: Packers Otia at lambeau Field, even after a nine point win,
40:16
Speaker 4: it's why didn't this guy get the football? I think
40:18
Speaker 4: that might kind of crowbar their way out of getting that.
40:22
Speaker 4: But I think if anybody's got the talent for it,
40:24
Speaker 4: it would be Golden, like from somebody that would earn
40:27
Speaker 4: that many opportunities and one of the big mouths to
40:30
Speaker 4: feed most likely out of the equation in Romeo Dobbs.
40:34
Speaker 4: Somebody's gonna jump into that spot. I know people have
40:37
Speaker 4: been waiting for Dontavian Wicks to do it. I think
40:39
Speaker 4: you know you wait for that another year, You're gonna
40:42
Speaker 4: be waiting another year to try to figure out who
40:44
Speaker 4: ends up taking that spot. So I think Golden's got
40:46
Speaker 4: maybe as good a chance as anybody. What about Mike
40:48
Speaker 4: and Merrill buying or selling thirty thirty one to ten
40:51
Speaker 4: club for Jackson cerio, thirty homers, thirty stolen bases, one
40:55
Speaker 4: hundred and ten runs driven in.
40:56
Speaker 3: Wow, that'd be a monster.
40:58
Speaker 5: Not amazing, But I believe he's the type that could
41:02
Speaker 5: do something like that, So I think that one's closer
41:05
Speaker 5: than the other one.
41:06
Speaker 3: I kind of would love to see it a year
41:08
Speaker 3: or so away from that kind of level of production
41:10
Speaker 3: from him, but we'll see.
41:11
Speaker 4: And now the Jackson Cheerio one is you want to
41:13
Speaker 4: talk about somebody that you quietly had a much better
41:16
Speaker 4: year than people would have given him credit for last year.
41:18
Speaker 4: Had the twenty twenty season last year in the midst
41:21
Speaker 4: of like only one hundred and thirty games and how
41:24
Speaker 4: much he was gonna up and down throughout definitely quiet.
41:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's gonna be a fascinating Those projections are always
41:30
Speaker 3: those are huge numbers.
41:31
Speaker 4: But if he does that, ninety seven wins is definitely
41:34
