• 0:26
  Speaker 3: takes for Hot Take comp.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Day now, I uh as Hot Take Humpday commences on
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: a Wednesday. Generally drew the predictions not what we like
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: to roll through. We have a bunch of different things
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: that that happened throughout the the night, and a lot
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: of different people will drop a lot of different ones.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: There's a couple of hot.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Takes for the NBA and the MLB that I want
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: to get into.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: But uh, did you guys see the video of the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: young man.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Who had a punishment yesterday for his fantasy football team
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: and had to sit out in his own section of
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: the Royals Stadium Royals and the Red Royals and Reds
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: with the with the poster boards around him saying I
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: stink at fantasy football. I got hot tay that that's
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: the best one I've seen. Waffle House move over. That
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: is a That is the best ponishment that I've seen,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: bar none, because not only is it a trol to
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: your favorite team that you can't sell out full sections.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: That's the one for me.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: You go and hang out at a ball game. It's
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: a lot better than a waffle house.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Did they pull the Charlie Sheen during the great home
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: run chase?
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: It was either Bonds or it was Macuis's. But I
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: think it was Bonds when like Charlie Sheen like bought
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: like whole sections of the outfield so you could get
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: the home run.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: But you're right, I mean, this is the worst look
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: for the organization that they could plan ahead to do
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: this because they knew there's gonna be whole sections available
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: probably in a weeknight game and in May.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: That's pretty much every team, it really is.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, and I think we're you know, we have
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: those those nights too, But I think we're sort of
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: lucky and blessed to not realize that sometimes because Brewers
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: fans do do a generally good job, even on the
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: off nights of filling the stadium.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Generally.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: I know there's nights when there's almost nobody there. You
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: can do spaghetti night and all these things in the crowd.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Absolutely you could do this.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you could do this in section four thirty eight
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: and in the smoker section officially named at American Family Field,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: you can find.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: A way to be able to do this. Yeah, that
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: might be. That might be the best one that I've seen.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Albeit the guy that was riding in these samboni at
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the Admirals game rocking it through. You have to start
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: a lemonade stand, maybe walk around with a fantasy with
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: a helmet on saying safety for a bike, helmet on
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: saying safety first. You know, there's good punishments that might
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: that might take the cake on this hot take hump
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Day to start us off.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I'm a big, big fan of that one. Yeah, that
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: is a good one. That is a good one.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Well, you know what, it's not that bad though, I
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: mean as punishment, I'm.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Saying you could do a lot worse.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I don't have to sit in a waffle house for
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: twelve hours, right, Like, there's good parts of it that you're.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Enjoying a game.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Albeit, you know, sitting by yourself looking like you're Steving Landsborg.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: That is good, pretty wild, all right, Billy the Seal
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: is broken hot takes eight seven seven seven nine four
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: send him to the Nicola a lot dot com talking
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: text on here's one for you. One of the more underappreciated,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: underrated and on thought of exciting plays in sports, The
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: inside the Park grand Slam.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Oh hard to top that, baby.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: James were fifteen seconds of fun. Two outs in the
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: second inning, James would uh, HiT's the first pitch with
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: the bases load a little sweeper and he hits at
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: the opposite way and Nick Barbido, the leftfielder, tries to
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: make a leaping catch at the wall and doesn't make
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: the play.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: And the wall wins. The wall wins.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Tyron Taylor, Uh, Tyrone Taylor for the former brewer right
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: goes to check on him and then like kind of
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: for a second, then realizes.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: That, oh, the ball's in play. Oh, we didn't go
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: over the wall. Uh.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: And then by the time they they they realized what
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: had happened.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: That big six to six frame was lumbering around those
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: bases for James Wood, he was full.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: He was cruising there for a known bower hitter.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Threw up five to nothing at that point, ended up
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: losing the game nine to six.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: A that is the most twenty twenty six mets that
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: you could possibly have.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: And they were kind of getting hot, right They had
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: one seven to ten I think three in a row,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: and so they were, you know, kind of building some
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: hope for themselves.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Somehow, right in Frank. And then it all came down.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he and would reach twenty nine point four feet
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: per second.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Oh top speed. Just pretty damn.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, that's moving right there. That's moving during
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: his trip fifteen seconds around the bases and slid headfirst
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: across home plate. Pretty sweet. Inside the park grandsimme. Don't
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: see those every.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Day, no, And you just don't see enough inside the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: park homers as not like it used to be a
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: different beast. Maybe in the Polo Grounds days when you
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: had five hundred foot fences out in center field.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: You see more.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: But it then immediately drew, which I think is my
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: favorite part of inside the park home runs. Immediately flashes
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: me back and allows me to remember the fact.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: That Prince Fielder had two of them.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Thinks that's right right, Like, that's my favorite part of
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: any and every inside the park home run because it
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: brings up those memories of the big twenty eight lumbering
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: around at the old Metro Dome.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: One of the great trivia trivia as ever that he
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: had too the Metro Dome and the one that got
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: caught underneath the wallet at Miller Well then Miller Park
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: that wasn't televised.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: That day, I believe, so. I don't know how much
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: video there.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Is that, if there is any, all right, I got
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: a hot take for you guys. Thought about this one
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: for a while, but I noticed it again last night.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: I don't think there's any question that there's no NBA
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: franchise with better alumni support then the Knicks. Incredibly, they
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: constantly have their old stars at every game.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: It's one thing to have guys there every now and.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Then, but they have guys not only the Ewings at
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: every game. I always see Starks and last night Larry
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Johnson was there, who a lot of people associate with
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: the Knicks, but someone associate with the Hornets. I don't
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: remember any team having this much alumni support from what
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: constantly there like their old dad supporting the young guys.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: You kind of like that. If you're a Knicks fan, you.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Had Robinson and Duncan AT's first.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Day, they did they did appear at one. I just don't.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know how common it was, though, well you
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: know it works pretty sure for the team. So he's
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: there all the time, Robinson's there a decent a mount.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: The thing about this is and I know this warms
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: your heart. I know, I know you love this.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: I think that's what Bulls fans are don't get from
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: their great team that they wish now they did.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Their team is ass like.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, like as as tough as that sounds, like
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: nobody is coming. Nobody's coming to watch a thirty six
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: win outfit, not this hit. And maybe there were maybe
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: there were a couple of Knicks players. I don't know
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: if Allan Houston was going to a bunch of games
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: during the Mellow era. I imagine he brought his kids
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: to one or two. But it's really nice of the
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: stolen Dollary to go and try to grab in all
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: of the excitement and energy because for the first time
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: in thirty years, the team's relevant.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: That is true. I mean they're popping up now.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Like you you saw Larry Johnson, like I haven't seen
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: him in a while with the trip to New York.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Nobody's turning that Alan Houston. All those guys are looking old.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: But but I guess you're right. It is a far
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: craft from when Oakley was there and got tossed, you know, remember, yeah, it.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Was that's not very long ago when the owners said, no,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I don't want former guys from the nineties teams in
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: the building, and you're.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Not allowed to be here. Yeah.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: I think it adds to the energy though, in the
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: aesthetic to see those guys there, I got a how
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: cool bot It was always an excited like, Oh, Kareem's
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: on the sideline, there's Ray Like, there was always the
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: excitement there.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: But it was cool seeing Oscar and Kareem in the
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: seventy one team at was that Game four of the
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: finals thing that they all came to. I think it
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: was the early one. My hot take would be that
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: the celebrity road juices that place.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Up even more. Oh yeah, for sure.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, like all as excitements, as exciting as Timothy
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Shallamy be in there, and obviously Tracy Morgan there every
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: single night. It's fake leads to iconic Dan Housen there
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: last night hurst the Cleveland Cavaliers on national television might
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: have had something to do with James Harden losing his
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: ability to play basketball. But I struggle to think that
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: the New York crowd could have possibly been snoozing through
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: three and a half quarters last night. But they're the
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: best fans of all time. All I hear for the
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: next week and a half or three and a half weeks,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I think they're going to go to the finals is
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: how New York Knicks fans are so long suffering and
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: so great, and so dedicated and so loyal and never
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: never turn their back on their team. And they have
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: been here through all of these thick and thins. You
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: can miss me with every bit of that. I struggle,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: And the hottest of hot takes is, don't listen to
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: people gass you up and gas up New York Knicks
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: fans like the greatest thing since sliced bread. Because every
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: team that's long suffering sits back and calls themselves the
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: longest suffering fans of all time. Just theirs happened to
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: be on national television every single day talking about it,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: and they.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Happen to have a large large pool of fans to
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: pull from.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, New York, you might have the biggest, biggest
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: population to do it.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: In New York City is a big group, man, There's
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: no question about it is on the garden.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I'll say that.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: All right, we have a hot one here from Pauli
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: GM the YouTube comments, he said, the crew did offer
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: contract to miss Biouta's arbitration. I don't think it's completely
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: off the table gone forby gets hurt, but he has
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: guaranteed our money. Then he has guaranteed money already, Paulie,
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: I guarantee you trying to talk him into it like
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: a mom or a dad and say, look, look, maybe
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: this is a smart, saved move to you for you
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: to do, and then trying to convince yourself that he's
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: gonna think that way. I don't know that it's gonna happen,
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: but I appreciate you doing that, Paulie. I feel like
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: he's just trying to convince himself that it might happen
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: more than anything else.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the way it sounds. Ideally, Sure it would
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: it be great? Yes, not everybody's Freddy Peralta.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: No, And our guy Marcus and Iowa responded to our
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: conversation from last segment talking about it, and he said,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: you know, six years huge win arguam with the best excers.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I thought it was this year and maybe next. So
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: we're lucky. Let's go. That is the thing.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: You've got him for a great runway and for what
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: used to always be the prime. The prime of your
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: life is in your early to mid twenties. A lot
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: of times they're maxing out that arm well, and that's
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: part of it. Missus twenty four.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: And I love that the Brewers system now is moving
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: guys to the big leagues at twenty two instead of
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: back in the day. I covered so many guys during
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: my tenure. When the Brewers are bad, it's like, here's
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: a guy making his big league debut. He's twenty nine
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: years old. Like if he's twenty nine and it's his
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: big league debut, all right, good luck. Yeah, sweet fourte
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: don't expect anything more than your value over replacement player.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, don't check that a player. Don't check that. War
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I heard that a lot with like Isaac Collins last year.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: He's like, wow, you grind it through the minor leagues.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Drew twenty six years old, Like okay, well for ten
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: fifteen years ago, that was the earliest two were making
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: the big leagues. It felt like in the acceleration of it,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I think makes a lot of sense. Maybe some of
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: it has to do with the lack of or the
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: condensing of the minor leagues, but I think it also
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: has something to do with more of just the science.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: What that is.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's get the best, let's get the best years
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: out of you at the big league level and not
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: for all due respect the formerly known as Carolina Mudcats.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Let's get you out of the timber rattlers and let's
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: get you up here being able to see how quickly
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: you can progress. And I got a feel in that
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Hazers my day might be finding himself progressing a little
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: bit quicker. It could be that anybody else want the
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: walk off last night?
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was that's another hot take. That was the
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: best thing that happened in to the Brewers organization last night.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: The Hazes might walk off. He's been amazing lately.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: The guy that you should be worried about in that
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: front is Terang. But then yeah, then they have they
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: have reinsport enforcements, right, I mean that's.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: How that's how you plan it for pipeline.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: That's the design, right, I mean, that's what you want.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: And again it's a tough thing to say.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: But at some at some point, you then look at
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: it all his commodities, and that you have to at
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: some you cash in those chips, and you cash in
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: that commodity and get the highest value for it.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Does that mean right now?
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: No, it means you try to win as much as
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: possible and then you break lass than in the case
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: of the emergency. I like this one at U from
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Ryan in Denver on the talking text line, can't we
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: stop with the.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Pool the tune? It's at shortstop?
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Hamilton booting that ball in the first costme is another
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: ten plus pitch. Therefore, coming back out for the seventh
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: that Joey O is in, it's just mcgillan r Rebay
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: in the eighth and ninth.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: How much is that worth?
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Joey and Hamilton their difference at the plate is even up.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: And at least Joey is a threat for an extra
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: base that I don't really know about that he's got
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: one on the ear or two on the year. Hamilton
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: is thinking bunt every first, every single at bat. Just
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: give the job to Joey until you call up Pratt.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Well, there we go. We finally got to the back
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: end of this.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: If you're settling onto how on earth are we gonna
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: give Joey Ortiz the shortstop job. They've been trying for
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: a year and a half and he hasn't necessarily taken, Yes,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: that bull by the horn, like.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: They're trying anything they can.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: And I would assume, and this is an assumption, the
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: clock is definitely ticking to the point where they're gonna
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: start making one of those decisions come the middle of June,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I would assume.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: I want to say something to Ryan's point though, that
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: I think is right. And sometimes we because are so
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: focused on offense from Joey Ortiz or lack thereof, and
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: so focused on offense from every position. Now, the once
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: upon time where all you wanted out of your your
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: shortstop was really good defense.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Right, Those are the old days, right, Drew.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: And then it was like, Okay, anything those guys give
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: us offensively is a plus. Maybe there's an aspect of
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: we don't appreciate Joey's defense enough, because that was a
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: tipping point early in the game. I mean, miss was
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: having a deal with those things happening around him, was
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: able to obviously bear down and get out of the
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: gym and get that double play, you know, and that
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: was huge because I think it was double play. Maybe
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: I'm misremembering, but that was huge because that could have
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: been a tipping point that comes that pressure early and
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: if the cage gets rattled a bit, things could definitely
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: go different in that game. So maybe it is one
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: of those things like, all right, well maybe over tease
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: isn't so bad, and then when you had that glove
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: and you had that reliability. But your point is correct, Billy.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: It's it's like, when's the Pratt thing gonna happen? And
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: when is the clock ticking? Because it's sure seems that's gonna.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: And is it? Is it for sure Cooper Pratt or
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: is it Jet Williams? Who?
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you're talking about the offense, it looks
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: like he's he's swinging a different kind of league ready, Right.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's good to have options and they're gonna
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I have a decent amount.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: And I also think drew the service time clock ticking
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: officially away and getting into June is something that you
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: always kind of wait for, right Yeah.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: The misreaction to what he's doing now, it's I remember
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: hearing that when Ricky Weeks in Princefield. They're both homer
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: hit their first big le homers in the same game
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: to lose them.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah that was quick. Yeah, no doubt.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Well just for they just hit their first homers, like,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: buckle up, you got six years.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: That was a fun Saturday. That was That was a
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: good saturday, hitting those two against the twink.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: It was a great Saturday except for the guy that
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: I think the guy thought off the elevator that day
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: at Miller Park. So except for except for that, I
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: just remember that what are you doing?
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: No, I mean that, like I actually thought it was
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: middle of the week.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: I don't remember there were I think there were multiple
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: actually instances.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: There have been, there been, thanks Armen. I just remember
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: that it was inject some tragedy.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: It was just a.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Memorable day for many reasons. I mean, that was a
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: great memory.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: That was of a great night in Brewers history. But
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: then there was also tragedy.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Remember that I got shot? Sorry you or sorry?
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: And oh and the whole discussion started with from a
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: negative place because it's about people freaking out about losing
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: players just when you're getting it, you know, used to them.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Bryce terrang by the way, is uh is eligible for

• 16:17
  Speaker 2: even it up. We're not grabbing in here a bunch

• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Right there.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Used to be a moment where a lot of times
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: you were you. At some point you're happy the guy
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: cash is in. I watched Willie Domas hit a home
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: run last night. Good for you, Willie. I wish it
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: wasn't your first one in a month. I wish you
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: were hey. I wish you were living up a little
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: bit more of one hundred and eighty million. I'm sure
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: glad it's not on our bank account. But I'm very,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: very happ happy.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Are you well?
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: He started a good, healthy place to be. He starts
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: a little last year too.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: All right, Well, I'm gonna get to if you guys
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: might have a hot take to get in here.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Is it about somebody else dying?
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: I don't know, well, I don't know, maybe a career dying.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: All right, Jason hit last night. Let go by the
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: Dallas man. I'm I'm one hundred percent convinced they got
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: him out just in time, and they wanted him out
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: so he wouldn't stunt the development of a young star
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Cooper Flag. We saw you almost did that in Milwaukee.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: I believe that people have disagree with me, whatever, so
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: be it. He was a terrible, terrible coach. Maybe he
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: got better during the time I haven't watched as closely.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: I think he was a bad coach. I think he
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: was a bad influence on you.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Honest. I think we got him out of it just
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: in time.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: I don't like me trying to make him a point
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: guard that wasn't gonna be his best fit.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Billy.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: And in the end, I just don't think he was
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: a good game coach. He followed up four once. No
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: one's ever done that. I just didn't like him all
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: right there.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know how we I don't know how we
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: can move up from that hot take from Arman, but
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: we're gonna try, and Dolphin's gonna help us.
• 17:46

  Speaker 3: I saw you from a distance, turnaround and like a flash,
• 18:24

• 18:26
  Speaker 3: You were hot novel with some brass at the time.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: So I just wanted to give your space Summerfest brass
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: or our radio Heart Order brass.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they were there.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: They were there for a quick second and then they
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: early they Irish accident. Well actually they they Wisconsin exited
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: because our friend Monica from Madison talked about that, because
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: it was the same thing at our Billion I were
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: our packers lunch and earlier, and it's like they were
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: rate waiting to leave. They had somewhere else to go,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: but they were saying goodbye to people and on the door.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: I forgot to think about that. But hang on, funny,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: and that whole Wisconsin exit.
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: It's a great event to just do a little network
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: You see p pull, you know, three four times a year,
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: but they always make that event because there's free food
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: and beer.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, it was a Summerfest preview event.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: And the food looked good. It was good, a little bit,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of looks.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Very fond of the new stuff, and a lot of
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: They did the shots, the Motts shots for a toast
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: of the mozzarella marin air, the little mini sticks genius,
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: a shot glass full of half full of marinia sauce
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: with a little half a cheese.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Stick, little half.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: I think that started like ten years ten years ago,
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: all right, this is my theory. About ten years ago,
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: there was a sure hot take, it's not really a
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: hot take, but it was a really popular burgeoning appetizer
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: or derbo at weddings, which was the mini grilled cheese
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: with the mini tomato soup, and that like became the
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: cool thing everybody wanted at their wedding for a short time.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: So maybe that was the precursor that walk so this
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: could run.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they did that, and I think it was in
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: honor of sassas fiftieth right, because Sassin is known for.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: That legend legendary spot. Obviously.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my pal's Curt and Casey from Sass's speakers up
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: there along with the Mayor. We were in the presence
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: of the mayor. Present's a great.
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: Yes yesterday, and I gotta be I was impressed with
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: South Second, which is Assassa's venue, right is it. I
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: had never been in that that space before. Really nice,
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: uh indoor, outdoor, upstairs. It's a cool, cool place in
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: this event place for that good event.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: We got to see a sneak preview of all the
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: merch they're gonna be selling it Summerfest this year.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Some cool stuff. Uh, it was cool.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: We're looking so we good line up too, right, I
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: mean you don't necessarily realize it's gonna be here before
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: you know what. The three weekends, it feels like it
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: comes up quicker than it used to, if that makes sense.
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: And I never thought I'd like that line, that that format, Billy,
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: but I love it. I love it more than I
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: like the original eleven Days. I was grumpy at first,
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: but now I'm just I just savor Summerfest whenever it is.
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: You could have it for like you could have it
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: from eight to five on a Sunday, and I show
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: every bit of it, yes, or like twenty twenty one
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: when you had it in late September. That's right, remember that. So, yeah,
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: it was a good event.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: It was cool to start thinking about, you know, thinking
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: warm thoughts as we are. I mean, we're not just
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: on to May, we're almost through with I was gonna
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: say it's over.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: It's pretty wild as the calendar moves. Yeah, it really is.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: We got Memorial Day weekend this weekend, alight.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: That sneak out up on me too. Just we just
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: made some plans for that now, barbecuing or there we go,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: let's ride.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all of a sudden, the text game and my
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: nephew stepped up and decided the host.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: He's grown into the role. Let's go. Is gonna come
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: over and enjoy all bit?
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, as long as there's coolers full of beverages, yes,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: that should be good.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Are you a.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: Traditionalist when it comes to Memorial Day? Is it broughts
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: and burgers? And or do you go and yes?
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Upscale?
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: I mean you can throw up a little upscale stuff, right, but.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like I listen, if there's a tenderloin
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: in there, I'm never gonna say no, right, Like, I'll
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: definitely be interested in slice into something.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: But it'll there be some some.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Rot burgers, maybe maybe a couple of burgers throughout, maybe
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: a big t bone steak.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: All fire or something up there America. I don't think
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: of Memorial Day is just a one day hit. It's
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: all three and then like the Sunday, I think I'm
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: firing up a big old breakfast on the on the
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: black Stacks, and then so that kicks it off, and
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: then Sunday is a Funday. You can drop the hammer
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: a little bit because we won't be here on Monday.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: We're not working, that's right, so we can you can
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: drop the hammer. So you basically get a weekend with
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: two Saturdays, and I think the Sunday before Memorial Days
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: traditionally are one of those sweet spots.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: You got two day baseball games in a row. Dodgers
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: on Sunday, Cardinals on Monday. Coming to American family, my brother.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: My brother in law, offered to bring the meat. He's like, oh,
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna bring some meat over, so don't worry about it.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: And he's like, and I'm thinking, all right, no problem.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: He's like, what do you guys want some ribbi? Some
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: New York stripp We're talking because I thought you meant
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: burgers and hot dogs, So of course I was happy
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: about it.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: So you're to bring the dish to pass guy. Then
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: he's bringing he's providing the meat. You have to bring
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: the side.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Actually, we're going.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: Over to the other you know, in law's house. You know,
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: So we're going there.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Oh so I heard this and I thought he was
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: about the prime quarter of your backyard.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: That's what I was.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: That's what I didn't mean. I didn't want it to
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: sound that way, which would have been fine. But we're
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: going there in loss house. So I was just like,
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: whatever happens, happens, you know, will grill out all this stuff.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: And then he's like, guys, I'm thinking of bringing a
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: bunch of whatever you guys want. I'm like, well, if
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: you're talking about those cuts, yeah, I want all that.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Did he offer those armon or did you recommend rabbis?
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, I didn't do it. He threw out those words.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: I think that'd be a really good idea. My brother
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: in law, Allan's he's got a lot. I love him
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: because he's got a lot of Billy Mumphrey. That's a
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: side whole reference. He's got a lot of unbriled enthusiasm.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: When he started talking about hanging out in events, he
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: goes crazy. He's like, yeah, I want to let let's
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: just do it. Let's just get twenty steaks. Like he
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: just gets.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Really I can't imagine the excitement level that he's got
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: if Armand says he's got.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: Right, right, right twite a while that we do have
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: those moments sometimes, but I've got to say, and then
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: he goes, well, what about tomahawks?
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: I'm like, whoa b Yeah, but the time walks overrated.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: In my opinion, you're paying for the weight, you're paying
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: for the bone, and that bones is what that bone
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: really doing there? Except for show. Don't think the tomahawk
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: was in on Instagram.
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: That's they're expensive, arm And I don't think they're overrated.
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: I've only had them a couple of times in my life.
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: The last time we went to Chicago for Bears Packers,
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: Theabe invited me along with a couple other guys.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: We spent the night. We went out for a.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: Huge and we decided before we went into this fancy restaurant,
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: we're gonna split the bill four waist. Those guys are
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: drinking brandy old fashions NonStop at the bar. I'm drinking
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Miller Lite. So stale. They they got filaise. I got
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: the tomahawk. I think it was one hundred and twenty
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: nine dollars. But yeah, I thought, you know what, what
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: what I didn't get in liquid, I'm gonna make up
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: foreign food and it was it was well worth the
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: one twelve and arm You know, the meat adjacent to
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: the bone is more flavorful.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, favor given a lot of flavor.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: Cook it with the bone and you cut it off
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: and you start listen, I guess my favorite through the
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: cook All right, well it's hot to take.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: You just picked that thing. Suck the marrow right out
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: of that thing, Armon. Yeah, well yeah, you're a big
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: marrow guy, aren't you. Yeah.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: We did have bone arrow once together. That was interesting.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: I'm I don't know, I'm a big marrow guy. I
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: don't do it all the time, but every now and
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: then I'll try it if it's on the menu, if
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: I'm doing something.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: Fancy you substitute the broth when you're doing recipes for
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: the bone broth instead of the regular broth.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Oh like, what do you You can.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: Buy those those containers a bone broth. It's right next
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: to your chicken broth, broth, vegetable broth. It's more expensive,
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: but it's supposed to be, you know, better for you.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: And I don't know that I've ever actually had a
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: recipe call for bone broths. I've never been tasked with
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: that moment.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: If it's if it's an extra twenty cents per unit,
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: that one's definitely.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Is just a rabbi with an extra Just flare on it. Okay,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: just to show.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: Off extra all right, okay, arman, all right, you believe
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: what you want to thank you take on this well played,
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: well played? Yeah, all right, So doulf, there's a new
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: you know, Billy likes, uh he likes some games of chance.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: He likes to get some sweet action on games.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I hear.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: There's a new prop at the bottle Watomy sports book
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: what inning will Cubs fans start? It's saying Green Bay
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: sucks and any given game against the Breakers, what's the
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: inning that we crossed that threshold because we under a
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: three and a half. When the brus scored in the
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: first inning, he's like, oh okay, a lot of ball
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: game left.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: And then they're up three and other it's like, oh, well,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: here we go again. Fire it up.
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: And I don't want to say it's going to happen
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: again tonight and Jinks the crew, but the guy on
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: the mound has also been pretty damn lights out and
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: Kyle Harrison, So yeah, I fully expect to see another
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: drubbing tonight.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you just hate to see it for the Cubs,
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: don't you.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's just no, nothing could happen better to
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: that team. Then the Scrubs walk in and catch three
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: straight ols And you mentioned it, Dolphin. I mean, Harrison's
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: been as good as we gush over Miss for an
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: hour and a half, rightfully so, because he's so exciting
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: to watch, so dominant. But Harrison's been just as good.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: He's almost just as young, and at one particular point
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: in time, was probably more highly lauded around baseball circles
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: than even miswasn't.
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: Really surprised the Red Sox gave him up. They got
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: him from the Giants, and he was surprised when the
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: Giants had him, but you know, and he showed flash,
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: which is what we're seeing this year. Last year in Boston,
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: but it was such a small sample size. I guess
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: they they decided they really wanted Caleb Durban, so they
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: pulled the trigger on.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Those kind of those are trades that will get a
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: manager fired.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, trades like those, we're going to manager fire GM
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: say sorry, my fault.
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: So we got so So Bruce got Kyle Harrison Hamilton.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: And Hamilton Hamilton and in the in the deal for
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Caleb Durbin.
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: Uh, the kid we liked from Minnesota played basketball with
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: Ben Andrew.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Monasterio and uh and and uh Anthony Siegler.
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I really liked him. Yeah, thank you. So that
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: was the trade. So far, is fleeced too strong.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Of a word.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: No, I think it's I think it's I think it's
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: an appropriate word, especially when Hamilton's offensive numbers even though
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: like our friend Ryan and Denver hit a text line,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: he's not wrong. He's looking to bunt first. His batting
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: numbers are probably pretty comparable to what Durbin's pit up
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: all year.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's so damn fast.
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: It's crazy, because you know, we love Caleb durban and
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: he was great for us last year, was exciting. Rookie
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: loved him when he was on the show US. Billy
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: really very guy. So I wish, you know, I want
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: to see him turn around. I don't ware's bad upon him.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: But it's amazing how much foresight the Brwice front office
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: having these things. You know, you have a side eye
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: when you're like, well, we've been looking for a third basement.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: Here's a young one that had a really good rookie year,
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: and then you trade them and it's like you side
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: I a little bit. Really guys and as a but
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: it's like they just seem to know. I mean, you
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: can't really question it because everything they do is right well.
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: And it's too early to do the same thing with
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: the Mets deal. It's too early to really tell. But
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: early signs say yeah, Brewis front office knows what they're doing.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Incredible stuff.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what they identify guys they like that are in
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: the inefficiencies in the picture market, undervalued maybe or not appreciated,
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: or they feel like they can do something with those
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: guys and their talent that people haven't unlocked yet and
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: they're able to do it.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: It's crazy.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Dolph, how about the the Knicks comeback or the
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: Cavs collapse.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, either way you look at it.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: What less than eight minutes ago they were down twenty
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: twenty two.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: Jalen Brunson took over they just uh they put as
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Billy put it so well, James Harden was in the
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: torture chamber.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: My goodness, and they gave watched the and you watch
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: the videos, like every basket like Jalen Brunson scored every time,
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: and Harden was basically falling down.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: You think a folding chair would have offered more resist
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: pride rise yeah, uh yeah, the beard. He's never been
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: first team All NBA defense as he did. Anybody see
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: this coming from Jalen Brunson. I know he's been a
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: superstar for a while now, but he was really good
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: at Villanova.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Chicago area kid, by the way, grew up in the Midwest.
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: He will yeah, yeah, and then and then and now
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: has become this unbelievable superstar in the NBA, playing in
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: the you know, the world's biggest media market.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Coat well, he's arguably the most famous nick right now,
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: like time and you haven't even won it yet. You
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: want it yet just because of how exciting, uh the
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: runs have been for him, because it was a little
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: bit out of the blue. I mean sure there was
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: some foresight that he was going to be a really,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: really good player when he came from Dallas, but I
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: think even his dad on the coaching staff could have
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: been I.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: Think people looked at him as like, this is a
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: really really good number two option. This can be maybe
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: a jail murk. But he's really evolved into much more
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: than that. You know.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: I saw him tear up the Bucks this year, and
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: it's like, you watch him on any given night, you say, oh,
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: that guy looks like the MVP. Right he did last night.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: He definitely did last you know, and it's like, I
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: don't know he has sustaining it, but he does. He's
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: in the discussion. Seems like he has a very good
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: head about him. Yeah, oh that's for sure. Like and
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: that's the part of it.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: There's such a confidence and a good way of being
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: able to exude it that he's a ridiculously likable guy,
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: even though I think the Knicks are extremely unlikable.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: He's a hard guy to cheer against.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: And man, when he got cooking last night, you just
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: knew it was over because every time he could smile
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: and salivate because Harden was staying right there. They just
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: put up on on TV that it's the sixth game
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: this Playoffs that Harden has had more turnovers than field goals.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: I believe he has over thirty of those in his
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: playoff career. Played a long time, right, he played sixteen
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: seventeen years.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: He's thirty seven.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Lived in the playoffs because he walked in with those
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: OKAC teams.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: That were going to the final. That's the closest early
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: in his career that he's going to come to a ring.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: He's gonna and you know, you hear it with quarterbacks
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: all the time, like the clock is ticking. Why are
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: they gonna get his ring? Like Harden's gonna fail his
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: whole career and not win a ring. He's gonna be
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: like one in the discussion of one of the best
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: players scorers ever with no championship, no validation.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Up three to one against one of the best teams
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: of all time. Yeah, and another epic collapse.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: A lot of playoff failure for him, you know, and
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: it's been partly the teams he's been on, but obviously
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: you're part of that.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: And something like last night's gonna hang with you. That's
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: just really bad.
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: That Oklahoma City team is the team we always look
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: to that You just scratch your head how they didn't.
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: I guess they were young at that time. But Kat Westbrook, Yeah, Harden,
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: Serge Ibaka, the searchers.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: On that team too. Yeah, yeah, they were close too.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: They were closed but couldn't do it.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Billy said, yeah, I'll be hammering the Oklahoma's any thunder
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: though tonight. I think that that's a that's a market correction.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Feel for that. That'spurs They they went and got what
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: they needed to do in game one. I think this
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: is where okayc finds their way find some water. I
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: think you're right. And whoever comes out of the East,
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: good luck, good luck to you. Yeah, good luck exactly.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Let's under get it done in both sides of the court.

• 34:44
  Speaker 3: tournament time and people are getting the whether it's soccer, softball, baseball,
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: and I saw a friend's kids they won their They
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: won a tournament and I don't know if it was
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: a state tournament or regional qualifier. It was just a tournament,

  Speaker 3: weekend tournament, weekend recreational tournament. And the kids were all flashing.

  Speaker 3: They're not trophies, not ribbons, they're championship rings.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: My gosh.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: The prize for winning this tournament now is basically like

  Speaker 3: you know when the Bucks gave away their fake championship ring. Yeah,
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: number new trophy ribbon metal. You get yourself a championship
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: ring from the tournament. Like, when's the kid gonna wear.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: That ring from a travel ball?
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: They can't as the parents aren't pay enough to drive
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: around to Cincinnati and Charlotte and Norfolk and all these places.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: And they're getting rings. Come on, Billy, are you getting rings?
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Thout? They're getting rings?
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: Sports here it rings.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, I was looking up the rings like they
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: don't have to play.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know this is crazy for you.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: They don't have to write like it blows your mind.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: One A lot less clutter, A lot less clutter than
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: the different trophies that are gonna litter all over your bet.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking this is a much cleaner display in the bed,
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: I say, wild wild delivery.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: I love it though.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: That is way cooler than any different participation trophy you're getting.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know the vital ring and imagine what the trophies.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Cost in both.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: But I did a quick and dirty Google search and
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: you can order like these championship type.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Rings for like seven bucks apiece.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, so okay, well maybe, yeah, crazy idea. I
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: don't think Jostin's is making these arm and I don't know.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: Billy now as a website called Extra Inning Softball all right,
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: all right, and they just like over the winter they
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: ran an article that said, are too many tournament rings
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: hurting player development? Wealk into almost any travel softball tournament
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: today you'll see team celebrating with oversized rings, glittering metals,
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: customized banners, and full championship photo shoots. What once was
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: reserved for the biggest, most meaningful events has now become.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: A routine part of weekend play.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of it is these individual tournaments want
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: to parade themselves as being the most important one have.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: So the question is have rings become a symbol of
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: success or a substitute for development? How is the culture
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: of these rewards, How is it evolved and what does
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: it mean for athletes in today's travel ball world?
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, doesn't it cheapen it?
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: Like when you get a ring for winning some Jabron
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: eight team, you know, double a limb thing. You get
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: a ring and you celebrate like you won the damn
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: World Series.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, but wasn't it the same thing when
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: you got a medal?
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Like I guess I don't know I was.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: I'm also in like the front end of the participation
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: patient trophy era, right like I was in the beginning
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: of you finished third place in the in the tournament,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: somebody was going to get something. And and I think
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: sometimes we, uh, we we overblow the value that youngsters
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: are putting in the head or don't put enough onus
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: on the adults that are ultimately driving the young kid
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: home of understanding what the what the level of excitement
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: is or what the level of accomplishment can be. Like
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: the parents are also the ones that ultimately are signing this,
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: signing up for all of this, right Like, so I
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: struggle to blame the kids for it.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: I think, agree, Yeah.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: But at some point, you say, like the stunt development
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: to change this, I think I think my group has
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: turned out okay, right Like I think I think we're
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: trending in an okay direction. Some people would argue otherwise,
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: but there's there's always gonna be a sliding scale to it.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: But if it wasn't a championship ring, then somebody was
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: gonna come up with a championship belt, right or somebody
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: was gonna give a new championship T shirt right like.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: It'll all have its phase.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: But right now, when you've got songs talking about rings
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: and not medals like in the in an Olympic year,
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: then that's gonna be the difference.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: You know what the other thing is?
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: You know, even my generation they were starting to blame
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: with the participation trophy era, and back then it was like, wow,
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: I get a trophy, I get something to hold up.
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: Maybe it is the that set of parents now that
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: are growing older that as signed more into it than
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: the kids. Might just say this is a fun trinket,
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: but maybe that's not stunting their growth in terms of
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: thinking it means more than it should because it's just
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: something fun, like a keepsake, like a souvenir. Maybe it's
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: the parents that are assigning more so.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to dump on the kids.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: I don't. At some point the parents are designing the
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: turn there, they're some kind of adult that is outlining
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: and ordering all of it, right, So like that there's there,
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: that's the part of it.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: But it comes to like, I mean, you're saying, do
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: the kids really need this?
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: In all the travel ball But a lot of it
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: is a status that parents want to put of.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Look at what.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: Team Johnny's on. I'm with you on that, Look at
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: a club they're in, look at what they got this weekend.
• 39:32

• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Whitewater had a funny one, he goes. What's worse when
• 39:36

• 39:42
