2:06
Speaker 2: shot better than I thought I would. I gotta be
2:09
Speaker 2: honest with you. Wasn't one of those mini Papa shots.
2:11
Speaker 2: It was like a full size job.
2:12
Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, it was like cow okay.
2:15
Speaker 2: So after two rounds, I was like, honestly, I was
2:18
Speaker 2: getting tired, you know, breathing hard. I'm like, man, fifty
2:21
Speaker 2: seconds of putting these putting these missiles up.
2:23
Speaker 4: The thing is, we knew you were going to get
2:24
Speaker 4: the most shots up per capita, and however long you
2:27
Speaker 4: ended up shooting, you were going to take the most shots.
2:29
Speaker 4: And somehow, I'm on Mike three just about every single day,
2:32
Speaker 4: and I think that we finally figured it out.
2:34
Speaker 1: I was just adjusting your love.
2:35
Speaker 4: But yeah, I do believe that that there was no
2:38
Speaker 4: shot anybody was going to take more shots than you.
2:42
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised that you were gassed. After that gassed
2:44
Speaker 1: man put up the shots. But it was good.
2:46
Speaker 2: It was good to Uh, it was good to get
2:48
Speaker 2: out there, good to get those shots up, and uh
2:50
Speaker 2: good to be for a couple of days.
2:52
Speaker 1: I called the appetizer since I'm off next week. That's right.
2:55
Speaker 3: So as a Vegas veteran, yes, become kind of a
2:58
Speaker 3: connoisseur the city. You and Billy both, but Arman he arm. Yes,
3:04
Speaker 3: he's frequenting, and he's looking for the underside, meaning he's
3:07
Speaker 3: looking for the cheapest deals.
3:08
Speaker 1: A man. I spent a lot of time A little bit.
3:11
Speaker 3: I spent a lot of time with the MGM Grand
3:12
Speaker 3: because's where your festivities with the same group were. But
3:15
Speaker 3: I'm just wondering, can you give us the general tenor
3:18
Speaker 3: because this is week two of the NCAA tournaments. One
3:20
Speaker 3: hundred degrees. They are very warmly nineties right, whether it's yeah, they.
3:24
Speaker 1: Were unseasonably warm, they were recordized in the nineties. But
3:27
Speaker 1: what crowds like, what was it?
3:30
Speaker 3: Because a lot of people are shut I'm seeing a
3:32
Speaker 3: lot of TikTok walk throughs like this is the casino
3:34
Speaker 3: at ten on a Friday?
3:35
Speaker 1: What the hell? Where is everybody?
3:37
Speaker 2: I'm happy to report there have been a lot of those,
3:39
Speaker 2: lot of little stories coming out about quote unquote is
3:42
Speaker 2: Vegas dead? Is this? And that. I'm happy to report them.
3:45
Speaker 2: When I was there, the reports to the contrary.
3:48
Speaker 4: You know, the the word the reports of their demise
3:51
Speaker 4: were much exaggerating. You billy, you said it perfectly when
3:54
Speaker 4: I couldn't know if you were trying to do. I
3:56
Speaker 4: absolutely was thank for filling there. I appreciate you picking
3:59
Speaker 4: me up there.
4:01
Speaker 2: I'm gonna just say luckstore is at full capacity Wednesday
4:04
Speaker 2: night when I checked in, and as.
4:05
Speaker 1: You guys know, you know, I was standing in that innies.
4:08
Speaker 1: Not only that, and this is an early game balls.
4:10
Speaker 2: I got an email from them from uh, and it's
4:13
Speaker 2: actually from a guy that the hotel manager. Now, this
4:16
Speaker 2: could have been like a general email that he sends out,
4:19
Speaker 2: thank you for choosing to Lucksow. We're anticipating a high
4:21
Speaker 2: volume of raffles for checking today and want to make
4:23
Speaker 2: your smooth arrival as smooth as possible. Skip the front desk.
4:26
Speaker 2: You can check it online now. Blah blah blah, Jack Burge,
4:29
Speaker 2: hotel manager, Like Wow. I don't think I, like ever
4:32
Speaker 2: earned special treatment, but it kind of felt like for
4:34
Speaker 2: a second, I was like the man. But reports of it, yes,
4:38
Speaker 2: Tomai's greatly exaggerated. Uh, there was not one room available
4:41
Speaker 2: in the hotel when I checked in on Wednesday night,
4:43
Speaker 2: So look, at least for that week, it was fairly busy,
4:45
Speaker 2: and the conventioners were there. You know, a lot of
4:49
Speaker 2: a lot of people walking with their skinny jeans and
4:50
Speaker 2: their vests are going and they're a little you know,
4:52
Speaker 2: rolling their little displays and stuff like that. So you know,
4:56
Speaker 2: there there was definitely an activity this week, and it
4:59
Speaker 2: felt pretty goo to see the people out and about
5:01
Speaker 2: for sure.
5:01
Speaker 4: So I'm excited that Drew. It sounds like Arman got
5:04
Speaker 4: the autographed and signed by bud Sea League or Marcottsnascio
5:09
Speaker 4: thank you letter for resigning his Your Brewer season tickets.
5:12
Speaker 4: That's pretty impressive that he got the personal letter from
5:14
Speaker 4: the casino manager letting him know that you can book online. Yeah,
5:16
Speaker 4: because generally that's the that's the seventeen year old interns
5:20
Speaker 4: that are standing by the sports book.
5:21
Speaker 1: He asked, guys, you sure do you have the app?
5:23
Speaker 1: Just all over you have the app all over there.
5:25
Speaker 4: I know you're gonna make a bet right here in
5:26
Speaker 4: this paper ticket because mostly people have been doing that
5:28
Speaker 4: since I don't know betting was invented, and it's more
5:31
Speaker 4: fun to hold the ticket to be able to cross off.
5:33
Speaker 1: But do you have the app? Do you have the app? Yes?
5:35
Speaker 4: I have the app, and I don't need your free
5:36
Speaker 4: drink that he gave me four years ago when I
5:39
Speaker 4: signed up for the app. But I'm glad that you
5:41
Speaker 4: were able to stay at the King of Cheeks and
5:43
Speaker 4: enjoy what is still one of the only landmarks that
5:48
Speaker 4: is not going to be a big ass guitar out
5:50
Speaker 4: there on the Vegas stress. That's a great point Billy,
5:53
Speaker 4: that picture you sent me of the resurrection of the
5:56
Speaker 4: hard rock casino guitar is unbelievable.
6:01
Speaker 1: And that is a massive structure. Like right on the
6:05
Speaker 1: road it appears.
6:05
Speaker 2: Look for those of you Las Vegas files, it will
6:08
Speaker 2: be dominating the view as you look north on the
6:10
Speaker 2: strip where that curve happens.
6:11
Speaker 1: That's crazy, where that dog leg happens.
6:14
Speaker 2: It is big, It is massive, and I will say this,
6:17
Speaker 2: it is spectacular and it's going up pretty fast, so
6:20
Speaker 2: I I kind of like it because it adds a
6:22
Speaker 2: little bit more of a character than just you know,
6:24
Speaker 2: office building looking hotels. But it's definitely a behemoth of
6:29
Speaker 2: a of a guitar and they're putting that thing up fast.
6:31
Speaker 2: So we'll see when that when that thing actually gets
6:33
Speaker 2: open and operating. But it sure seems like it'll change
6:37
Speaker 2: it up. And look that sound's always changing and we're
6:39
Speaker 2: seeing it again. So yeah, another another chapter in the
6:42
Speaker 2: future between Vega.
6:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, the soon to be uh hopefull, well not soon,
6:47
Speaker 3: but the in progress baseball stage.
6:49
Speaker 4: I was also gonna say hopeful because Drew, I think
6:52
Speaker 4: there were some times when we were like, hey, are
6:53
Speaker 4: we actually breaking around on this?
6:54
Speaker 1: Are we just another one. Yeahs actually gonna happen, but
6:58
Speaker 1: that'll change the landscape as well.
7:00
Speaker 2: Well.
7:00
Speaker 3: We're glad to have armor back. Shout out to Luddy
7:02
Speaker 3: and Hunter for holding out of the fort with us.
7:05
Speaker 2: And it advanced because I'm off next week too, just
7:07
Speaker 2: before anybody really already armin I know, Billy, it's tradition
7:11
Speaker 2: as old as time, people talking about their vacation of radio.
7:13
Speaker 1: Just getting it out there now. Yes, I'm off again
7:15
Speaker 1: next week, packing in the day. I'm a month away
7:17
Speaker 1: from my own vacation, Billy. I'll be honest with you. No,
7:22
Speaker 1: I don't have anything on the books, but I'll tell
7:23
Speaker 1: you this, I.
7:23
Speaker 4: Would h I'm trying to figure out a way to
7:26
Speaker 4: potentially be right exactly where Arman was and celebrating the
7:29
Speaker 4: boys buzzing their way to the Frozen four coming up
7:33
Speaker 4: place to put the Frozen for in Sin City.
7:37
Speaker 3: Game Balls and Kicks will be robust, our cup runneth over,
7:40
Speaker 3: the madness of March, the sports roller coaster, the spine
7:43
Speaker 3: tingling moments, the breathtaking comebacks. But enough about the Brewers
7:50
Speaker 3: White Sox game yesterday. Let's talk about basketball, kid.
7:54
Speaker 1: It was the Brewers game.
7:55
Speaker 3: We talk about you just sports in a nutshell, was
7:59
Speaker 3: in a couple hours as you watched the Brewers come
8:01
Speaker 3: back in stirring fashion from a seven to two deficit
8:03
Speaker 3: after a horrific start Brewers debut by Brandon Sprote. Brewers
8:07
Speaker 3: come back, Yelich hits a bomb. They score six runs
8:09
Speaker 3: in the eighth inning on a sun dappled through the
8:14
Speaker 3: you know, through through the what do you call that,
8:16
Speaker 3: the roof structure, you get the sun.
8:18
Speaker 1: The little panels. Yes, yeah, you had just a very
8:21
Speaker 1: it looked very fall like. It looked almost like a
8:24
Speaker 1: little bit like a October Classic yesterday.
8:27
Speaker 4: And the funniest thing was I to see the day
8:31
Speaker 4: progress man Brandon Sprote as somebody that was a little
8:34
Speaker 4: disappointed in my favorite sports book, the Potawadni Sports Book
8:37
Speaker 4: for not listening Brandon Sprote on Rookie of the Year
8:39
Speaker 4: odds drew. As I said, as I sat there in
8:43
Speaker 4: section one eighteen yesterday, I was like, ooh, I don't
8:45
Speaker 4: know that I'd give them mods to make another start.
8:47
Speaker 3: After he could not find the really rough he was
8:50
Speaker 3: pitched well Tuesday and the against the Reds and the
8:53
Speaker 3: exhibition game, a really rough Brewers debut, but they came
8:56
Speaker 3: back and won. And then you go from that and
8:58
Speaker 3: you're like, oh my god, I'm looking at this and
9:01
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about the White Sox. It's like, wow, White
9:04
Speaker 3: Sox got slaughtered the first two games. Basically, the opening
9:08
Speaker 3: day was as bad an opening day as basically what
9:10
Speaker 3: the Brewers did last year, right, because they struck out
9:13
Speaker 3: twenty times and walked ten an opening day, and then
9:17
Speaker 3: they play a game that's a little bit better on Saturday,
9:19
Speaker 3: but not much got throttled, and then there it's like, okay,
9:22
Speaker 3: they're getting all their frustrations out hashtag baseball. You know
9:25
Speaker 3: you can't win them all, and they rough ups broke,
9:28
Speaker 3: they hit the Grand Slam and they're up, and then
9:31
Speaker 3: it starts to fade and then it's like, wow, if
9:33
Speaker 3: they lose this game, they might not win till May.
9:36
Speaker 3: Might be the full on White da that was that is,
9:39
Speaker 3: that's a brutal loss. Now you can debate I in
9:43
Speaker 3: my mind, the way my sports brain works, their loss
9:47
Speaker 3: opening Day was much less painful because it was you know,
9:51
Speaker 3: you had a lead early, but you got you've got
9:55
Speaker 3: race right, you got curb stopped. But that, to me
9:57
Speaker 3: is better than puking away a lead on your set
10:00
Speaker 3: two and your clothes are giving up the huge home
10:03
Speaker 3: run to Yelichen and capping off inning. So I think
10:09
Speaker 3: I would have been more frustrated with the opening day
10:11
Speaker 3: loss because that was futility and action. That was the
10:14
Speaker 3: definition of you're not competing when you strike out twenty
10:17
Speaker 3: times and when your pictures walk ten guys and you
10:19
Speaker 3: get shellacked. However, then it's like it goes to how
10:24
Speaker 3: how would you like it? Would you like the you know,
10:26
Speaker 3: the slow dismembering or do you want to quick? Do
10:30
Speaker 3: you want to quick? Because what happened to Duke hours
10:33
Speaker 3: after the White Sox melted down, it's like as glorious
10:36
Speaker 3: as that was, I'm watching that game and I'm saying, man,
10:40
Speaker 3: I almost feel bad for Duke fans, Yeah, which is
10:43
Speaker 3: because it's two years in a row and it's like
10:45
Speaker 3: unconscionable to lose the way they do. I'm sure there
10:47
Speaker 3: are people in Durham because I saw what happened with
10:50
Speaker 3: Greg Gard and they're like, we gotta get rid of Shire.
10:52
Speaker 1: Sucks can't win the big one.
10:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, ultimate shoke artists. He's got what like a seventy
10:57
Speaker 3: winning percentage, if not higher. He's been to a couple
11:01
Speaker 3: of elite eights under the age of forty two, insane
11:04
Speaker 3: recruiting classes back.
11:07
Speaker 1: Those hot takes.
11:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, anybody who thinks that he should be in trouble
11:10
Speaker 3: for this is just insane. But that's the soup we're in.
11:13
Speaker 3: And it's like whoa, So just the whole arc of
11:18
Speaker 3: you know, from your ahead to behind, the way it
11:21
Speaker 3: played out for the Brewers in White Sox and then
11:23
Speaker 3: for Yukon and Duke. Did Ukhon win that game or
11:26
Speaker 3: to Duke lose it? Well, Yukon stayed in it. They
11:28
Speaker 3: battled back from fifteen seventeen down early, incredible heart of
11:32
Speaker 3: a champion, all that stuff, but Duke did puke it
11:35
Speaker 3: away the last possessions and Boozer is one of the
11:37
Speaker 3: best players in the country, failed them in big moments
11:40
Speaker 3: down the stretch, yep. And it's like multiple times, Wow,
11:42
Speaker 3: this is hashtag sports. This is why we love it.
11:45
Speaker 3: Just those games alone, like that last possession, just hold
11:50
Speaker 3: the ball and gives all. It's easy to say that now,
11:52
Speaker 3: And that gets to my annual rant about all these
11:56
Speaker 3: kids playing all this AAU ball and playing all these
12:00
Speaker 3: games hundreds of games, way more games than guys played
12:03
Speaker 3: than Jordan and Kobe and Barkley played as as you,
12:07
Speaker 3: and yet they have no idea how to execute at
12:10
Speaker 3: the end of games.
12:10
Speaker 1: They have no It looks like they're playing for the
12:13
Speaker 1: first time because there's true, no true teaching and instruction
12:17
Speaker 1: in that right, it's just get on the floor and roll.
12:19
Speaker 3: Shouldn't be but you would think just by repetition, like
12:22
Speaker 3: this lack of awareness of situations.
12:25
Speaker 1: And when to hold them and fold them and like
12:28
Speaker 1: it just is stunning to me, because.
12:32
Speaker 4: It appeared to be stunning to John Shiro when they
12:34
Speaker 4: flashed the camera over to him and he's like, I do, like,
12:38
Speaker 4: just hold the ball now.
12:40
Speaker 3: I know that they and well the fact that they
12:42
Speaker 3: melted down in similar fashion last year, But but the
12:45
Speaker 3: other team.
12:45
Speaker 1: Is trying to follow you. They're trying to give you
12:48
Speaker 1: a chance.
12:50
Speaker 2: I think there's an aspect of we are trying to
12:53
Speaker 2: curate our young athletes and teams and sports to be
12:56
Speaker 2: as much as a machine as possible with expected outcomes
12:59
Speaker 2: and rope robots, and then you see them on these
13:02
Speaker 2: big human stages that they haven't been in. Yeah, they've
13:05
Speaker 2: been in a lot of AAU games, but they haven't
13:07
Speaker 2: been the you know, NC eight lead eight before in
13:09
Speaker 2: these situations where you are reminded that they are going
13:12
Speaker 2: to be human and possibly make human errors, and if
13:14
Speaker 2: you're not strong enough with the ball, you can make
13:16
Speaker 2: those errors, or one split second moment, you might wilt
13:19
Speaker 2: under the pressure of the situation.
13:21
Speaker 1: I think that is part of it too.
13:22
Speaker 2: It's like we expect now there'll be so many expected
13:25
Speaker 2: outcomes in life, and it's like these are still humans
13:27
Speaker 2: playing human game and mistakes will happen.
13:29
Speaker 1: And in one moment when.
13:32
Speaker 2: You know you could have held the ball, but there's
13:33
Speaker 2: an open guy down court and he is open, and
13:36
Speaker 2: well maybe I can pass to him. In Clinch's game,
13:38
Speaker 2: if you're not strong enough for the ball, the ball
13:40
Speaker 2: gets tipped. The ball is tipped. Here we are, I mean,
13:42
Speaker 2: that's that's the nature of this game a little bit. So, yes,
13:45
Speaker 2: they were trying to follow you. Also, it would have
13:47
Speaker 2: been one to one, so he's thinking if I get
13:49
Speaker 2: it down court, Shire's saying, we have open guys. I
13:52
Speaker 2: don't know, I just make the file shots. Like the
13:54
Speaker 2: thing is, you're right, Billy, you couldn't And that's one
13:56
Speaker 2: way to win it right.
13:57
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's the easiest way and the funniest
13:59
Speaker 4: part about it all is, like you mentioned, a year's
14:03
Speaker 4: gone by Chris Webber not knowing that they don't have
14:06
Speaker 4: a time out in the final four, there's seventy thousand
14:09
Speaker 4: people there screaming and hollering.
14:11
Speaker 1: I actually think that a moment like yesterday.
14:13
Speaker 4: Should maybe give us a little bit of grace towards
14:16
Speaker 4: Chris Webber, because this is an action mistake that drew.
14:18
Speaker 4: You should be knowing from fifteen eighteen years of playing basketball,
14:22
Speaker 4: let alone for a boozer being able to watch their
14:25
Speaker 4: Adonis looking dad go through eighteen years in the NBA,
14:28
Speaker 4: seeing a number of them as well. But like I
14:31
Speaker 4: do wonder how many different times the lack of true
14:36
Speaker 4: repetition and teaching and frankly the amount of practices that
14:40
Speaker 4: they have or the lack thereof thereof you don't ever
14:43
Speaker 4: end up having those those situations. But for John Shire,
14:46
Speaker 4: I don't know that you've seen a guy have more
14:50
Speaker 4: success and have two of the worst, most unconscionable collapses
14:55
Speaker 4: you could have in a tournament back to back years.
14:58
Speaker 4: I mean last year they put that screen above of
15:00
Speaker 4: what They're up five with forty four seconds to go,
15:02
Speaker 4: and it's like, how do you lose this game? Well,
15:04
Speaker 4: the Milwaukee Bucks found an exact way to do the
15:06
Speaker 4: exact same thing in the playoffs Game five, but.
15:08
Speaker 1: They they found a way to do it.
15:09
Speaker 4: And then yesterday, sure Mullins hits an unbelievable shot. I
15:13
Speaker 4: don't know anybody didn't think that thing was going in offense.
15:16
Speaker 2: I just knew it.
15:16
Speaker 1: You know, it's like a logo three.
15:18
Speaker 2: So you're like, boy, you know cognitively the chances that
15:20
Speaker 2: that's going in should be low, but you just know
15:22
Speaker 2: what's going in.
15:23
Speaker 4: Man, And as a as a duke investor, at minus
15:26
Speaker 4: five and a half up for the only person I
15:28
Speaker 4: don't want to see touch the basketball is the guy
15:31
Speaker 4: I don't know had made a shot all day long.
15:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was Caravan, and.
15:35
Speaker 4: He kept like, just don't let eleven touch it. He
15:38
Speaker 4: hits an NBA straight on three, and it is game on.
15:42
Speaker 1: Man.
15:42
Speaker 4: You're right, dude, the heart of a champion is a
15:45
Speaker 4: real thing. But somebody was very, very complicit on that
15:48
Speaker 4: other side, Oh, no doubt. And that's the eternal debate.
15:51
Speaker 4: You could debate that forever. Did you con win or lose.
15:54
Speaker 1: And when laws is like that happen, you're young coach,
15:56
Speaker 1: Like talk about Tiret.
15:57
Speaker 2: You're gonna get settled with that kind of moniker when
15:59
Speaker 2: maybe it's not totally deserved, but that's just the way
16:02
Speaker 2: those games happen.
16:02
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be all right.
16:03
Speaker 2: He's a joke artist like Rick Barnes, got got you know,
16:06
Speaker 2: saddled with that tournament struggles many years and then now
16:09
Speaker 2: later in his career he's done better. We see some
16:11
Speaker 2: guy bow Ryan's a great example. You know, there was
16:13
Speaker 2: always a thought before he broke through that bow Ryan
16:15
Speaker 2: couldn't break through the final four, and then he did
16:17
Speaker 2: it twice. So I don't know, it's it's tough for
16:20
Speaker 2: John Share because I think he is a good coach.
16:22
Speaker 2: I think he's young coach. I don't think he's one
16:24
Speaker 2: of these guys that's you know, you look at him
16:26
Speaker 2: in a Hurley. The big debate in my house was
16:28
Speaker 2: who's a bigger villain, Duke or Dan Hurley? Like, you know,
16:31
Speaker 2: the Duke is always the villain, right, but Dan Hurley's
16:34
Speaker 2: strutting around hilarious.
16:37
Speaker 1: He's hilarious, But a lot of people don't like him obviously.
16:40
Speaker 1: So then that whole thing.
16:41
Speaker 3: When Raft said the lights won't go out in Jersey
16:44
Speaker 3: City tonight, Yeah, it was pretty.
16:46
Speaker 1: Good because you love that line. Yeah, I love that
16:50
Speaker 1: eight seven seven.
16:52
Speaker 3: If you want to jump the route and give us
16:53
Speaker 3: a game ball or kick to the balls, you can
16:55
Speaker 3: feel free.
16:56
Speaker 1: Well let me as you brought it to the White Sox.
17:00
Speaker 4: The amount of fans that were that made the pilgrimage
17:03
Speaker 4: up here from the South Side, I give him credit,
17:05
Speaker 4: h dude, I gave him a lot of credit. There
17:06
Speaker 4: were a ton of White Sox fans there at American
17:09
Speaker 4: Family Field yesterday and they were having themselves a good day.
17:13
Speaker 4: They were having themselves a lot of fun. There was
17:15
Speaker 4: one guy that could not get off of Brandon Sproute
17:19
Speaker 4: through the first two innings, very much, having a good time,
17:22
Speaker 4: a lot, enjoying the fact that Montgomery hits a grand
17:24
Speaker 4: Slam and they have four runs up there before they
17:26
Speaker 4: even have an out.
17:27
Speaker 1: But to then have to witness it and think, wait,
17:30
Speaker 1: we might not be that bad this year. We might
17:32
Speaker 1: win seventy five games this year. Was pumping them up
17:35
Speaker 1: all weekend.
17:35
Speaker 4: They just boosted them and all of a sudden to
17:37
Speaker 4: get crashed right back down. And for it to be
17:41
Speaker 4: a guy like Murphy who he's one pitch away from
17:44
Speaker 4: being able to get out of it, and obviously Yellie
17:47
Speaker 4: gets the headlines.
17:48
Speaker 1: Kerrang being able to extend the inning is phenomenal.
17:51
Speaker 4: How about Luis Renhifo who hit into some of the
17:54
Speaker 4: most that's baseball bad luck early in the game, staying
17:57
Speaker 4: in that at bat, driving in the run and getting
18:00
Speaker 4: it to yelling and that was one of the biggest
18:01
Speaker 4: set bats that you see in the entire run.
18:03
Speaker 2: Yeah.
18:03
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Bruers just did with the Brewers do right.
18:05
Speaker 3: They they pecked away with small ball and then Yelich
18:08
Speaker 3: got the big fly and it was like it was
18:10
Speaker 3: so dramatic too, Yellich, that was a great Like the
18:13
Speaker 3: Brewers are three games in and we're still in March,
18:15
Speaker 3: and that the crowd pop when Yelich was announced as
18:18
Speaker 3: the pinch hitter when they yelling chance, just good theater
18:23
Speaker 3: there and Brwis fans are getting now as you look
18:26
Speaker 3: at this Brewers team. I was talking to our pal
18:27
Speaker 3: Don Catronio about it yesterday and just like just catching
18:30
Speaker 3: up with guys and early season, it's like when they
18:33
Speaker 3: leave camp you look on paper, they they might be
18:35
Speaker 3: better than last year. Now they might not have a
18:37
Speaker 3: better record, but in terms of talent and depth, the
18:39
Speaker 3: fact that they won these three games, the fact that
18:41
Speaker 3: they came back from seven runs down with Vaughn and
18:44
Speaker 3: Turio sideline right, two of their top line guys, it
18:47
Speaker 3: just shows how they roll along, shows their depth. They
18:49
Speaker 3: bring up Carol, like I was wondering about with Sproute, like, well,
18:53
Speaker 3: he's got a rookie catcher making his major league debut.
18:56
Speaker 3: Here's a guy making his life like fourth big league start, yeah,
18:59
Speaker 3: maybe not first start for the first real game for
19:02
Speaker 3: his new team that he wants to settle in and
19:05
Speaker 3: be a contributor for. So a lot of factors with
19:07
Speaker 3: the battery yesterday, then the way Murph worked it, and
19:10
Speaker 3: they had Sanchez playing first, and then you know they
19:14
Speaker 3: contreres ends up catching as the DH ends up catching,
19:17
Speaker 3: and when McGill went in, he was batting clean up,
19:19
Speaker 3: giving up the D. Yeah, gave up their DH. Like
19:21
Speaker 3: the Murph managed that game in a way. I mean,
19:24
Speaker 3: I don't remember how many games of the Birds used
19:25
Speaker 3: three catchers.
19:26
Speaker 1: Very few, right, that's very rare, not many. So just
19:30
Speaker 1: the way they rolled through though it was a very
19:31
Speaker 1: Brewers like game.
19:33
Speaker 3: And now as I look at the landscape the way
19:36
Speaker 3: it lays out, I don't expect the Brewers to have
19:38
Speaker 3: a stretch where they go thirty and four this year.
19:40
Speaker 1: I would doubt that. I don't think they're going to
19:43
Speaker 1: to go.
19:43
Speaker 3: Thirty four because I don't think they're going to be
19:45
Speaker 3: four games under five hundred in late May.
19:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't look at the lineup drew and and
19:51
Speaker 4: think back to where you were on March thirtieth of
19:54
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five and think that this team is not
19:56
Speaker 4: significantly better than the one was last year, and the
19:59
Speaker 4: pitch staff is far younger. No, well, you swap out
20:02
Speaker 4: Freddy Perlza for Brandon Woodroff as long as he starts tomorrow,
20:05
Speaker 4: and it's a it feels someone.
20:06
Speaker 3: And that's the thing is like, given the youth of
20:08
Speaker 3: their pitching staff, you might see some games like what
20:11
Speaker 3: sprot did yesterday.
20:12
Speaker 1: But then here's the.
20:13
Speaker 3: Thing, Like, you play complimentary football is a phrase we
20:16
Speaker 3: use a lot from between September and February. Well, that's
20:20
Speaker 3: complimentary baseball in that you got rocked early, you keep
20:24
Speaker 3: you chip away, right, I thought the game was going
20:27
Speaker 3: to end the Birs.
20:27
Speaker 1: At one point they cut back. They clawed back two.
20:30
Speaker 3: Runs in the first right, yes, right away on the
20:32
Speaker 3: Sanchez blast, right away, on the Sanchez blast. They're nowt
20:35
Speaker 3: four two. Then they give them right back. Spro gives
20:37
Speaker 3: them right back, so they're back in the hole. And uh,
20:40
Speaker 3: once Sprot leaves the bullpen, like you can say, well,
20:43
Speaker 3: that's a yellick game, that's an offense game.
20:44
Speaker 1: How about that? No, it was the bullpen that won
20:46
Speaker 1: that game, big time.
20:47
Speaker 3: Grand Anderson tack on right grand Anderson and Woodford by
20:52
Speaker 3: not letting the White Sox tack on, they made the
20:55
Speaker 3: comeback possible.
20:56
Speaker 1: So to me, that was like bullpen story one.
20:58
Speaker 3: Even though it's the Yellix blast in the six run inning,
21:00
Speaker 3: but it was a bullpen game. And you can win
21:03
Speaker 3: a game when you have a crappy starting outing. Big time,
21:06
Speaker 3: they haven't won. They weren't doing much on offense. And
21:08
Speaker 3: I thought there was a point after they had gone
21:10
Speaker 3: down six to two or the first put men on
21:12
Speaker 3: first and second with nobody out and didn't score, and
21:14
Speaker 3: it's like, oh, that's it. That was their chann back
21:16
Speaker 3: for this is it? They be happy went into out
21:19
Speaker 3: of three, win the series, move on, op. They decided
21:21
Speaker 3: to win the game and sweep So good stuff at
21:23
Speaker 3: the ballpark yesterday. Great stuff in the final four. We've
21:27
Speaker 3: got you know, Michigan, who is just to a wagon
21:31
Speaker 3: team rolling a good Tennessee team. Bad day for a
21:35
Speaker 3: Tennessee team to finish a season, huh, but that's a
21:37
Speaker 3: that was a good team. So Michigan rolling in facing Arizona.
21:40
Speaker 3: You got Illinois against Yukon.
21:43
Speaker 4: It's a wonderful final four. I Purdue was so close
21:46
Speaker 4: to getting those home games. They were so close. Well yeah,
21:50
Speaker 4: that twenty minutes away. Well we'll get to that in
21:52
Speaker 4: the cookies theory and how that affected up.
21:54
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to it. We're gonna get you.
21:55
Speaker 3: So get us your game balls and kicks to the balls.
21:57
Speaker 3: Be ready to hang out with us. We are ready
21:59
Speaker 3: for a wonderful week here in the good Land. Baseball
22:02
Speaker 3: is upon us. We got the masters to look forward to.
22:04
Speaker 1: You have uh. The NBA will move on.
22:08
Speaker 3: Bucks officially eliminated from playoff contention, thankfully. On Saturday, we'll
22:15
Speaker 3: talk about there. Last weekend and what's left of the
22:17
Speaker 3: dying days of their season is now all we have
22:19
Speaker 3: to look forward to. And the NBA side is the draft.
22:21
Speaker 3: We got that, and then there's this little thing called
22:23
Speaker 3: the NFL Draft coming up as well. We're glad you're
22:26
Speaker 3: hanging out with us on this Monday. Let's dominate this week.
22:28
Speaker 1: It's the Huddle on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
22:36
Speaker 2: To two.
22:46
Speaker 1: Yearly delivers in the clun Brewers TV. Jeff Levering on
23:03
Speaker 1: the call.
23:04
Speaker 3: Brewers beat the White Sox yesterday, coming back off the
23:07
Speaker 3: Matt down seven too early in the game and prevailing
23:11
Speaker 3: nine to seven. Trevor McGill getting his first action of
23:14
Speaker 3: the year. He was gonna pitch no matter what ended
23:17
Speaker 3: up being a save.
23:17
Speaker 2: Op.
23:18
Speaker 4: I loved rock throwing it in there in the beginning
23:21
Speaker 4: of the inning, saying still might get a save opportunity.
23:24
Speaker 1: Everyone's looking all right, yeah, right, come on.
23:28
Speaker 4: Confidence, And slowly but surely as McGill stayed out there
23:33
Speaker 4: for what twenty five minutes to try to get himself
23:35
Speaker 4: ready and was ready, stayed ready, came in and was nails.
23:39
Speaker 4: Had the Grand Anderson effect because I think gran Anderson
23:41
Speaker 4: got up in.
23:41
Speaker 1: The first inning, got up.
23:42
Speaker 4: Through the second games in the bullpen, and then my god,
23:45
Speaker 4: finally got in uh in the third and Drew you
23:48
Speaker 4: hit on it. He was a huge reason parton me
23:50
Speaker 4: in the fourth when when they finally took out Sproat
23:52
Speaker 4: after three. Him and the Woodford reserve two phenomenal pieces
23:57
Speaker 4: as they both go four innings, give a or combined
24:00
Speaker 4: four innings each, give up a hit, no runs, and
24:02
Speaker 4: keep the crew in a game that they had no
24:04
Speaker 4: business winning at the ballpark yesterday. But it inspires a
24:07
Speaker 4: whole lot of confidence in Brewers fans rolling into the summer.
24:11
Speaker 1: It does.
24:12
Speaker 2: It kind of has the opposite effect of what last
24:14
Speaker 2: year's first three games were, which which obviously inspired the
24:17
Speaker 2: opposite of confidence at the Yankee Series. So I just
24:20
Speaker 2: find that pretty interesting because we know all last year
24:22
Speaker 2: turned out one of the great regular seasons in Brewers history,
24:25
Speaker 2: ninety seven wins. Now, maybe you can kick me in
24:27
Speaker 2: the balls for it sounding like an ear here, but
24:29
Speaker 2: we still, you know, I have a whole season to play,
24:31
Speaker 2: So as great as the start was, it works the logic.
24:34
Speaker 4: Does that mean you're not gonna be like the guy
24:36
Speaker 4: in eighty seven that brought the cardboard one sixty two
24:39
Speaker 4: and oh to the Brewers game tonight?
24:41
Speaker 2: No gonna I'm gonna still hope for it and cheer
24:43
Speaker 2: for it. Okay, I'm gonna still believe in it. You know,
24:45
Speaker 2: I love that one, Billy. You know, I always let
24:47
Speaker 2: to tweet that thing out. I did it again this weekend.
24:50
Speaker 2: But I should don't think an issue. But yeah, I
24:51
Speaker 2: mean no, you gotta had that hope, that belief.
24:54
Speaker 1: You got a dream.
24:55
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what sports is all about. So one
24:57
Speaker 2: undred and sixty two and oh is our dream. That's
24:59
Speaker 2: our goal and until it gets uh shattered, we're going for.
25:02
Speaker 4: As as coach Boone said in Remember the Titans, perfection
25:06
Speaker 4: is what we will be chasing, knowing damn well, we
25:09
Speaker 4: will never reach it. Yeah that's right, but along the way,
25:12
Speaker 4: so excellence might be achieved excellence.
25:14
Speaker 3: So Brandon Sprout's got nowhere to go but up. It
25:18
Speaker 3: was a rough start for him, right nas one of
25:20
Speaker 3: those Oh yeah that's true. That was the only other
25:22
Speaker 3: one he's gonna come out.
25:24
Speaker 1: Actually yeah. The fact that they did get the third
25:26
Speaker 1: inning out of him kind of.
25:27
Speaker 2: A you know, well, it's he also stinks because I
25:30
Speaker 2: was ready to do my broke the goat you know hashtag,
25:32
Speaker 2: and I was excited.
25:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't well, and I thought drew.
25:35
Speaker 4: As people around us kept asking, you got to get
25:38
Speaker 4: in a new picture, you gotta get a new guy in.
25:40
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh no, they don't let him wear eighty
25:42
Speaker 4: some pitches of this. Oh yeah, and then maybe go
25:44
Speaker 4: find somebody. It's a little too early to be pulling
25:46
Speaker 4: somebody in.
25:46
Speaker 1: It was interesting, like the first Mountain visit came from Murph.
25:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was I wonder what's up there is He's
25:53
Speaker 3: just he must be telling him like, all right, so
25:55
Speaker 3: the first four guys score bases are empty. It's like,
25:58
Speaker 3: all right, the start reboots. Now mm hm, now you
26:00
Speaker 3: can you're thirty pitches in, but now you're you know,
26:03
Speaker 3: it reboots.
26:04
Speaker 1: Let's let's go.
26:05
Speaker 3: Well let's ride now. Yeah, and a test if you
26:08
Speaker 3: can see if you can get us four now and
26:10
Speaker 3: suck it up.
26:10
Speaker 4: And to your point, with Caro being the catcher in
26:13
Speaker 4: his first game and uh sprot making whatever his fourth
26:15
Speaker 4: or fifth start, that might have been a time where contrarists,
26:18
Speaker 4: I thought, after like the fifth ball might have gone
26:21
Speaker 4: and said, hey, let's call him this thing down.
26:23
Speaker 1: You're you're okay, I've caught you before.
26:24
Speaker 4: Let's start throwing some strikes, right or you know, if
26:26
Speaker 4: somehow we would have been able to just throw the
26:28
Speaker 4: ABS zone in there, because I did wonder if he
26:30
Speaker 4: was just trying to find the box that somebody was
26:32
Speaker 4: not throwing up there for him.
26:34
Speaker 3: I was gonna I'll save that for game balls and kicks.
26:36
Speaker 3: But yeah, the ABS was getting a workout yesterday, and
26:39
Speaker 3: there were a couple of situations and there was a
26:41
Speaker 3: I think the first at bat that McGill had, the
26:44
Speaker 3: Brewers didn't challenge a close call and then the guy
26:46
Speaker 3: rifled a single.
26:47
Speaker 1: I was like, why did they challenge that? That is
26:50
Speaker 1: the fun.
26:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's intense. It adds to that challenge, like what
26:54
Speaker 3: what are you waiting for? Like that's the ninth inning,
26:56
Speaker 3: it's a swing pitch like it would have been a strikeout,
26:58
Speaker 3: would have been a strikeout. Would have been a great
26:59
Speaker 3: time to do it. And and maybe that was some confidence,
27:01
Speaker 3: maybe that was some aggression not being in the game.
27:03
Speaker 3: But it has added added a different layer to the
27:06
Speaker 3: ballpark droop totally that I did not anticipated constantly.
27:11
Speaker 2: Honestly, the strategy of it and the way it adds
27:14
Speaker 2: the energy to the ballpark, and the quickness and efficiency
27:17
Speaker 2: and accuracy of it. This could work as well as
27:20
Speaker 2: replays work for anybody. Besides having tennis is my favorite
27:23
Speaker 2: temple year. This is working exactly like tennis.
27:26
Speaker 3: Here's a great conspiracy theory for you that you know,
27:29
Speaker 3: the Brewers, the short Kings. The Brewers knew this was
27:32
Speaker 3: in the offing, and short kings have an advantage the
27:37
Speaker 3: reduced size of the shrinking of their strike zone, like
27:39
Speaker 3: short guys might have an advantage over the air and
27:41
Speaker 3: judges of the world. You know, brew is looking for
27:44
Speaker 3: every edge.
27:45
Speaker 4: Every Hey, we're trying to make ourselves one percent better
27:49
Speaker 4: and by one in shorter. We're making ourselves have an
27:52
Speaker 4: average height of five eighths across the board.
27:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's the perfect level like yeah, exactly, it's
27:58
Speaker 2: the perfect level of drama and won't take long, so
28:01
Speaker 2: it won't annoy that people that you know don't like
28:04
Speaker 2: how much time.
28:05
Speaker 4: And it's one of it's one of the biggest pops
28:07
Speaker 4: you get in the stadium. Yes, like positively or negatively.
28:12
Speaker 4: And there's a good dunk on factor on the guy
28:15
Speaker 4: that gets it wrong, especially if the opponent comes in
28:17
Speaker 4: misses it. Uh, it's a totally different deal. Or like
28:21
Speaker 4: in the reds game, Ay, Hanel Suarez called out ce
28:23
Speaker 4: B Buckner back to back pitches. He's like, brother, let's
28:26
Speaker 4: figure this out. Go, let's figure out this strike zone.
28:28
Speaker 4: And Great American Ballpark blew up like they had won
28:32
Speaker 4: a playoff game, which we all know isn't gonna happen
28:34
Speaker 4: for a decade or so. That place was live and
28:37
Speaker 4: it is a totally different beast in there when they
28:39
Speaker 4: fire that thing out.
28:40
Speaker 2: It works perfectly to like the human condition of where
28:42
Speaker 2: we're at nowadays, where like people want to dunk on somebody,
28:45
Speaker 2: or troll somebody, or disrespect someone for thinking they're right,
28:48
Speaker 2: especially an opponent or an umpire. We always hate umpires.
28:51
Speaker 2: We always hate the opponent. So it's like, no, we're
28:53
Speaker 2: gonna let We're gonna let you know you were wrong
28:55
Speaker 2: for it. And everyone's just sing ah, everyone laughs at
28:58
Speaker 2: the opponent. It's just so funny and it's gonna add
29:02
Speaker 2: so much juice to this and it's you get to
29:06
Speaker 2: see that thing come in and the scoreboard it happens quick.
29:08
Speaker 1: Boom Man.
29:10
Speaker 2: Baseball honestly has been killing with the rule changes, i
29:12
Speaker 2: gotta say, and I'm obviously a late adoptor to some
29:15
Speaker 2: of those things, but looks like they hit another one
29:17
Speaker 2: on the park.
29:17
Speaker 1: They'll pun intended here there you go. All right.
29:19
Speaker 3: So I had a random thought, and this may or
29:21
Speaker 3: may not spark some conversation. I was thinking of Armin
29:24
Speaker 3: for a moment because brandis pro takes the mound and
29:28
Speaker 3: he's wearing number twenty three. And I don't usually pay
29:30
Speaker 3: attention to uniform numbers and walk up songs and extraneous
29:34
Speaker 3: crap like that, but caught my eye, especially when he
29:36
Speaker 3: was struggling a little bit, and I thought to myself.
29:38
Speaker 1: When you see the number twenty three, what do you
29:39
Speaker 1: think of? Michael Ricky Weeks, Michael Jordan, right, Wes Matthews,
29:45
Speaker 1: all right, yeah, Michael Jordan.
29:46
Speaker 3: If you're a young basketball player, even now a generation
29:50
Speaker 3: removed from his playing time, like you know, you know,
29:54
Speaker 3: Space Jam video games, YouTube, Miley Cyrus, you're a hockey player,
30:00
Speaker 3: ninety nine is the number?
30:01
Speaker 2: Right?
30:02
Speaker 1: What's the number in football? Is it twelve for Brady
30:05
Speaker 1: Rogers the Goat?
30:06
Speaker 2: Like?
30:06
Speaker 4: But yeah, I think fifteen has got itself in there
30:09
Speaker 4: most recently, but probably twelve, yeah, probably.
30:12
Speaker 1: And then I'm thinking to myself, what's the number in baseball?
30:16
Speaker 1: That's a tough one. That is a tough one. For four,
30:18
Speaker 1: what's the best number? Forty four?
30:21
Speaker 2: Four?
30:21
Speaker 1: Hank reg Jackson was in our market.
30:24
Speaker 3: Number four is sacred, holy and always yes, yeah, four
30:28
Speaker 3: for you know far Moncreef mal Hall of Fame number.
30:32
Speaker 3: So in the state of Wisconsin, you could be a
30:34
Speaker 3: number four. Everybody's got their own personal preference.
30:37
Speaker 2: You know.
30:38
Speaker 1: When I make me a jersey, I like number nine.
30:40
Speaker 1: I like that.
30:41
Speaker 3: Yes, I like single digits, but I like number nine.
30:44
Speaker 3: It's I was born on the ninth of the month,
30:46
Speaker 3: so that works for me. So I'm just like, okay,
30:50
Speaker 3: So what is the number of baseball? And then I
30:52
Speaker 3: didn't have time to google it or put into AI.
30:54
Speaker 3: I'm wondering what is the most common number worn by
30:57
Speaker 3: Hall of famers in baseball? Because baseball spread up heart
31:01
Speaker 3: and so is football to an extent, because you've got
31:03
Speaker 3: Hall of famers at different positions. But now look at
31:04
Speaker 3: the Celtics, like with all the numbers they have, nobody
31:08
Speaker 3: nobody's like I want to wear seventeen for John Havliicek
31:11
Speaker 3: or eighteen for Dave Cowen's or something, but there are
31:14
Speaker 3: you know, So what is the when you think of baseball.
31:16
Speaker 3: What are the sexiest numbers in New York? If you're
31:18
Speaker 3: of a certain vintage, glad to be seven because you
31:21
Speaker 3: want to be Mick for sure?
31:23
Speaker 1: Right or now? Is a judge? Now judge? Or is
31:27
Speaker 1: it two for Jeter? Great?
31:29
Speaker 4: I still think I think the great toss a great
31:32
Speaker 4: pop because I think the double uh doubled up on
31:35
Speaker 4: any baseball jersey looks great. Eleven in a baseball number
31:39
Speaker 4: is an elite one, not only because it looks cool
31:42
Speaker 4: and it's clean, but you can also then go by
31:44
Speaker 4: the nickname sticks when you go with baseball talk, come
31:46
Speaker 4: on stakes a little. Basically, you got to be able
31:48
Speaker 4: to double something up. So two to two is a
31:50
Speaker 4: great one in there as well. The nines is a
31:53
Speaker 4: phenomenal look as well. But uh, right now, at least
31:58
Speaker 4: currently the AI or overview on Google and you know
32:01
Speaker 4: they can't lie on here says no single number holds
32:04
Speaker 4: the official title, but number twenty as recognized as the
32:07
Speaker 4: most frequently retired in Major League baseball.
32:10
Speaker 2: Ah, but you don't think of twenty, I really say,
32:13
Speaker 2: But so that's I think that's a great point that
32:15
Speaker 2: maybe baseball doesn't have that. It's often given to the
32:18
Speaker 2: best player of all time number.
32:20
Speaker 1: Here's one that I hadn't thought of.
32:21
Speaker 3: The most common uniform number for Pro Football Hall of
32:24
Speaker 3: Fame players is twenty four mm, worn by eight members,
32:30
Speaker 3: including Willie Brown, Charles Woodson, and Darrell Reeves.
32:32
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even thought of that, Yeah, because we think
32:34
Speaker 1: of what he what is twenty one? But twenty four? Yep, yeah,
32:37
Speaker 1: that's really interesting too.
32:38
Speaker 3: Baseball, the most common numbers, the most stacked numbers for
32:41
Speaker 3: talent are five, six, seven, eleven, and twenty four.
32:44
Speaker 1: But to your point, early twenty four is a good
32:47
Speaker 1: looking numbers.
32:47
Speaker 2: It is a good one of mean, you look fast,
32:50
Speaker 2: you look athletic, but you you were giving it almost
32:54
Speaker 2: always to the best player at that in that sport,
32:57
Speaker 2: if or what people thought of you know, George gret Ski.
33:00
Speaker 1: So wouldn't it be three? But no one thinks of three.
33:03
Speaker 2: Because like Babe Ruth, that's what I would think is
33:05
Speaker 2: the best baseball player ever. But no one thinks of three.
33:08
Speaker 2: As like the iconic baseball numbers, maybe baseball doesn't have.
33:10
Speaker 4: One Baseball Hall of Fame say well, this is from
33:13
Speaker 4: a Reddit discussion on it as well. Draw on those
33:15
Speaker 4: stack numbers. Number twenty Now, I'm not trying to not
33:18
Speaker 4: be a historian of the game, but I don't fully
33:21
Speaker 4: remember a lot of Monte Irvin's greatest hits. I don't,
33:25
Speaker 4: but Mike Schmidt, Lou Brockton Sutton, Frank Robinson doesn't feel
33:29
Speaker 4: like it stacks up with number five of Johnny Bench, Brooks, Robinson,
33:33
Speaker 4: George Brett, and Albert Poohls. Yeah, so there's some other
33:35
Speaker 4: really really clean ones in there, Williams. I think you
33:38
Speaker 4: hit it on the head, Drew of why number nine
33:42
Speaker 4: is generally your favorite selected number. It's like your roulette number.
33:47
Speaker 4: Birthdays always take the case, always right. Birthdays are always
33:50
Speaker 4: gonna be a tough one to be able to top.
33:52
Speaker 4: I never was going to have that opportunity as number
33:55
Speaker 4: ten on my birthday. They never made the ten jersey
33:58
Speaker 4: in the extra large right like that. There's no way
34:01
Speaker 4: when you were signing up for youth baseball, four I
34:03
Speaker 4: was getting the last number.
34:05
Speaker 1: On the jersey side.
34:06
Speaker 4: So when you did, like the miners, the eight through
34:10
Speaker 4: ten year olds at Whitney Youth Baseball, that meant twenty
34:13
Speaker 4: five because they only went from one to twenty five,
34:15
Speaker 4: then twenty six to fifty. You best better believe my
34:18
Speaker 4: ass was in that five zero.
34:20
Speaker 2: Is that why so many big guys in the NFL
34:22
Speaker 2: wanted to wear single digits as soon as it was possible?
34:25
Speaker 4: Yes, arm they never got a chance to do it. Ever,
34:27
Speaker 4: tell me a three hundred pounder in the number nine
34:29
Speaker 4: does not look scary.
34:31
Speaker 2: Like remember Lewis Nicks would have her Dame war like
34:34
Speaker 2: six or two, and I remember looks so goofy, but
34:36
Speaker 2: it looked awesome because it was goofy.
34:37
Speaker 4: So like that's the reason I want to have the
34:40
Speaker 4: single digits, because you look fast ten players in the NFL.
34:43
Speaker 3: In the NFL the Pro Football Hall of Fame war
34:45
Speaker 3: number eighty. I saw Jace Jack Butler, Chris Carter, Tom Fears,
34:49
Speaker 3: Len Ford, Andre Johnson, Steve Large and James Left and
34:52
Speaker 3: Jerry Rice are Kellen Winslow.
34:54
Speaker 4: That's a that's a pretty good one. That's pretty hard
34:56
Speaker 4: on the top eighty wide receiver.
34:58
Speaker 2: If the best player that group is Rice, they usually
35:00
Speaker 2: the best would be isition take that moniker, Like, I
35:03
Speaker 2: think that's how we think of it.
35:04
Speaker 4: I mean, Jerry Rice is arguably, pound for pound, the
35:07
Speaker 4: greatest football player of all time all time. Like that
35:09
Speaker 4: would be if you're looking for the best player. That
35:12
Speaker 4: one would be it.
35:12
Speaker 2: I think NFL films when they did their all time
35:14
Speaker 2: ranking at them, it was like ten years ago.
35:17
Speaker 1: Maybe they gave it to them.
35:18
Speaker 2: Yeah so, I mean, I you know, but but then
35:21
Speaker 2: again right again, receivers, they were tired wearing eighty, so
35:25
Speaker 2: they took their chance to wear single digits as much
35:27
Speaker 2: as possible, and then all allowed it. Everyone's fighting for
35:30
Speaker 2: those single digits. Yeah, no one, No one grabs seventy eight.
35:34
Speaker 2: That was definitely the one that's an issued number. That's
35:36
Speaker 2: when that they look like, all right, let's just fit
35:39
Speaker 2: this guy in whatever we can get.
35:40
Speaker 1: It doesn't work both ways. You don't see running backs
35:42
Speaker 1: trying to wear you know, sixty two, you know.
35:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, and well and that's why, Arman, why I say
35:46
Speaker 4: so they put somebody in a forty seven jersey or
35:49
Speaker 4: a forty three, good luck, good luck making the squad.
35:53
Speaker 1: You're destined to fail when they put you in one
35:54
Speaker 1: of those things.
35:55
Speaker 2: Well, now you're a fast edge if you're in the forties. Yeah,
35:58
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, your past edge on the
35:59
Speaker 2: p squad in pea squad.
36:01
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, that's it. I knew that would spark some.
36:03
Speaker 3: Conversation way in eight seven seven, seven, nine four seven
36:07
Speaker 3: three game balls and kicks of the balls will be
36:08
Speaker 3: upon us. We'll start flying them good Monday after six o'clock,
36:12
Speaker 3: Hunter Bombguard joins us. In fact, we'll be listening to
36:14
Speaker 3: Hunter's report as recap of the Brewers victory yesterday, and
36:18
Speaker 3: he's gonna join us live at seven to twenty five.
36:20
Speaker 4: And he was standing right where that home run ball landed.
36:24
Speaker 4: He said, this is the view if you were a
36:26
Speaker 4: home run that just got knocked four hundred and twenty
36:29
Speaker 4: one feet by Christian Yelich Sabermetrics. Let's just knock one
36:32
Speaker 4: foot off of that and we would add a perfect
36:34

37:34
Speaker 4: screen lifestyle that just continues to pump through. I would
37:38
Speaker 4: have loved yesterday the old school micd up with Arman
37:41
Speaker 4: Sari and when Yellich hits that blast, it was so
37:44
Speaker 4: exciting five years or six years before you're before the time.
37:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing I definitely was.
37:50
Speaker 2: And you know, sometimes you can get overwhelmed with content,
37:53
Speaker 2: But like a day like yesterday, we had the Buffeto
37:55
Speaker 2: Shimorgan's Bord of I think really good sports all day.
37:58
Speaker 2: I mean what, I guess the whole weekend. Didn't think
38:01
Speaker 2: we were gonna have it because it looked like we
38:03
Speaker 2: were gonna get it done of a day basketball wise
38:05
Speaker 2: with two blowouts. But you had the Yellisi one, then
38:08
Speaker 2: you had the you know, the crazy the crazy shot
38:12
Speaker 2: in the Duke Yukon game. It would have been a
38:14
Speaker 2: good day for a micd up. It was a pretty
38:16
Speaker 2: wild scenario. And let me tell you something, you know,
38:19
Speaker 2: nothing hits better after a victory Billy. As you guys know,
38:22
Speaker 2: we've talked about victory chicken, right, so I'm like, nice
38:25
Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon victory, big victory for the bruising.
38:28
Speaker 1: I'm feel good. I'm going to have to pick up
38:29
Speaker 1: my victory chicken.
38:30
Speaker 2: And you know my favorite spot, well no free ads,
38:33
Speaker 2: but it's rhymes of Golden Chicken on High one hundred
38:36
Speaker 2: with my favorite spot and a favorite for young Lena too,
38:39
Speaker 2: by the way, just just mowing down on those of
38:42
Speaker 2: those chicken thighs, right.
38:43
Speaker 1: Just loving life.
38:45
Speaker 2: So as I'm trying to, you know, as I'm getting
38:48
Speaker 2: in settling in for a nice fried chicken Sunday dinner, boom,
38:52
Speaker 2: We're all of a sudden given a classic in the
38:53
Speaker 2: Duke Yukon game. So it was a great micd up.
38:56
Speaker 2: Would have been a great micd up. Sunday, Billy, What's
38:58
Speaker 2: what's got Billy going? Right?
39:00
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I apologize guy.
39:03
Speaker 2: I have this.
39:03
Speaker 1: I have this tendency to have a very very short
39:05
Speaker 1: attention span.
39:06
Speaker 2: Uh.
39:07
Speaker 4: And as we see inside the studio, we are watching
39:10
Speaker 4: our friends over at Fox six. It kind of double
39:12
Speaker 4: barreled with the news because we get Channel twelve our
39:14
Speaker 4: friends over here off to the left. Well, make sure
39:16
Speaker 4: we're getting everything. I can't backtrack this, Drew, but they
39:19
Speaker 4: just showed a picture of a twenty five pound chocolate
39:23
Speaker 4: money game ball for that What Costco twenty five pound show.
39:28
Speaker 1: It looks like Serogi's.
39:32
Speaker 4: Say, yeah, that's up in the twenty five pound twenty
39:36
Speaker 4: five pounds.
39:37
Speaker 1: A good gimmick billy chocolate easter by. I mean, it's wild.
39:39
Speaker 1: Who's eating it?
39:40
Speaker 4: I don't know, but it's only let's be honest here
39:43
Speaker 4: and Arman, you're you're the you're the cost saving guy.
39:45
Speaker 1: You'd be able to analyze this cost per pound. You're
39:48
Speaker 1: getting like ten dollars per pound. That's pretty good on
39:51
Speaker 1: straight fudge that is good.
39:52
Speaker 2: But you know, Bellieve, there's a lesson to be learned
39:54
Speaker 2: here that you know, just getting the value doesn't automatically
39:57
Speaker 2: mean it's a good It's like a three foot whole
40:00
Speaker 2: sculpture because you gotta be able to eat all that.
40:02
Speaker 2: And by the way, yeah, when you sculpture or something
40:04
Speaker 2: like that, you don't want to eat it. You don't
40:05
Speaker 2: want to ruin it. Who's the jerk that took the
40:07
Speaker 2: year off? You know, you were trying the news and somebody.
40:12
Speaker 4: It's the toughest part though, because the chocolate bunny is
40:16
Speaker 4: the one piece of Easter candy as we're getting into
40:19
Speaker 4: the week that I just can't not be enticed by it. Sure,
40:24
Speaker 4: although it's gotta be the dumbest thing that you're eating.
40:28
Speaker 4: It's hollowed out in the middle. There's no snickers to it, right,
40:31
Speaker 4: there's no nugat. We we're not throwing any caramel in there, chocolate,
40:35
Speaker 4: there's no peanut butter in the middle here, which would
40:37
Speaker 4: have added itself into a nice reeseis chocolate bunny.
40:39
Speaker 1: Those are the best eggs. Oh my god, you're just.
40:41
Speaker 4: Sitting there just having like a worst version potentially of
40:45
Speaker 4: a chocolate bar, and our Hershey bar is like the
40:48
Speaker 4: last thing you're grabbing on the candy aisle. But damn
40:52
Speaker 4: am I buying one every single year? And I'm gonna
40:55
Speaker 4: break pieces away that I didn't know that. I'm gonna
40:57
Speaker 4: drop two sixty now on this twenty five pound chocolate bunny.
40:59
Speaker 2: You talk about biking weekends, there's something, there's something primarily
41:02
Speaker 2: they need that manly about being able to bite into
41:04
Speaker 2: a big hunk of chicken, or meant a big hunk
41:07
Speaker 2: of chocolate. I still got chicken on my mind. Chocolate
41:09
Speaker 2: there's something great about that. I'd double that thing up
41:11
Speaker 2: with chocolate and chicken. Well deserves salty and sweet.
41:15
Speaker 1: Thought to agree. But you know we said ambrosia in
41:18
Speaker 1: town here right yeah, Brodien chocolate pat.
41:20
Speaker 2: That was Larry Bird's favorite smell, by the way, He
41:23
Speaker 2: wrote in his book nineteen eighty eight that he loved
41:26
Speaker 2: the way Milwaukee smelled because that ambrosia chocolate fat right
41:29
Speaker 2: next to the arena.
41:30
Speaker 1: Who are they doing gimmicks like that?
41:31
Speaker 2: You can still buy that brand of chocolate somewhere, but
41:33
Speaker 2: it's not made Milwaukee anymore.
41:35
Speaker 1: So I wonder if, like, because that's a smart gimmick.
41:37
Speaker 2: If you're a candy company, just put up a big
41:39
Speaker 2: old two hundred and fifty pound chocolate bunny or whatever
41:42
Speaker 2: it was.
41:44
Speaker 1: Chocolate bunny. Yeah, that is impressive, Drew.
41:45
Speaker 4: I apologize kick to the balls for me for derailing
41:48
Speaker 4: that phenomenal conversation that we were having with my short attentions. Man, good,
41:51
Speaker 4: that's good. I'm sorry, but that is it's it's getting
41:54
Speaker 4: into the season. And this is also the time where
41:57
Speaker 4: I start finding out all the things that the Easter
41:59
Speaker 4: Bunny is gonna bring.
42:00
