• 0:23
  Speaker 2: of watch and I like it. I've seen my friends

  Speaker 1: And there's there. It sounds like Arman had the craps run.

  Speaker 1: asking for a couple of tips.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll give you a tip here.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Let's get the lighting a little bit different here, because
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like it's reflecting very well. But hey,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the celebration of a Las Vegas trip is always going
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: to be something that I'm jealous of. No, so I
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: did have to throw a little bit of a side
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: on when I saw those beautiful chips from park NGM.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: You can get us on the Nicola lot dot com
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: talking text line eight seven seven seven nine four one
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: ninety seven three do you have? There are folks reaching
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: out to us who are getting ready to start their party.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: It is again, it's a right of spring in Wisconsin
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: to celebrate Opening Day, even though, as we've mentioned before,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the younger generation it's fallen off a little bit. Whether
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: they're you know, they'll go to Brewers games, but maybe
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: not the first Brewers game. This isn't their destination. Their
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: spring party is the Shamrock Shuffle Sat practice day awake,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: yeah and do them both, which is yeah, the same
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: practice day, which is uh, you know the Saint Patrick's
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Shamrock Shuffle a couple weeks before on a Saturday before
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Saint Patrick's Day, where it's a bar crawl and a
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: couple different neighborhoods of the city. Wo draws thousands of
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: people the way that Opening Day did. Thousands of people
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: who are you know, thirty and thirty five and under.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: And yearning for some fun. Yeah, waiting for some fun.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Beent pent up and cooped up all winter and we're
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: ready to go, and you know we're gonna get to
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: we get to go indoors. It was a different trip.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: You know, if if you're old school, this is where
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: you know, back in our day, well hacking blankets, back
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: when County Stadium was the site and it was sleeping
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: or snowing or thirty five, and it's the whole dynamic
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: of the weather that you would endure that was miserable.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: On opening day for a December Packer game would be oh,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: this is balmy, yes, take it, Oh this is great.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: It's thirty eight and this is all right. And so
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: it rained a little bit, but it's thirty eight and
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: it's like it's not bad. The whole mindset, the mindset
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: has changed. So today we're looking at it was beautiful.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Yesterday we had a seventy degree day. Yesterday it was beautiful,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: got teased.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: But then today's high forties for the game.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, nothing, it'll be it'll be comfortable inside.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: We'll see some people, as.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: We always do, wear in the shorts because I thought
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: about it today, and you know, if you're gonna tailgate outside.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: So now my question would be the way things have
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: evolved in with the American family feeld being indoors and
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: if it's at all crappy outside and the gates open
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: at eleven ten, why don't you just venture inside? I
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: get the tradition all that, Like Dolf who's going to
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: join us later, his boys were will be first in
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: line to get in the front row of the parking lot,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and the right tradition shout out to Dolphins and Dolph's
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: boys and uh, that posse of his, what do they
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: call him, the Kozie Club or whatever?
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the Koozie Crew from Shank Crew from shankll That
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: is a sweet name mine.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: So those guys that you have autrition, So if you
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: have an opening day tradition, hit us up eight seven
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: seven seven nine three young William Schmid, his mom would
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: take him to the game. You know who else had
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: a tradition.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Like that whose mom took him to games?
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Commissioner Emeritis Bud seily Hey and became a baseball fan
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: because his mother, Marie took him to games at Portfield,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: and she took him on a trip to New York
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: and he went to the Yankee Stadium as a as
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: a lad. So he you know, got to see his
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: idols and got to experience that, and that sparked him
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: as a lifetime baseball fan. As your mom taking you
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: to opening day, writing that note, getting you out of
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: school and letting you experience it and walk around all
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: by tide and see baseball back and see the new
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Brewers and be excited about whoever it was, you know,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: this breakout star of the year before. And then see
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: drunk people making out up against dumpsters and porta potties.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Why are two people going into that porta potty? I
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: thought it was only one person, not anymore. Yeah, then
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: there's a lot that you learned there were there were
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: in that communal experience. Not only the fact that it
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: also was the first time that I got to figure
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: out what like the square pools were at the at
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a corner club over off of Loomis Road where the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: shuttle ended up going in.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: The meeting spot would be I might have rubbed shoulders
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: with you that day.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I think you're I think you've seen that spot a
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: couple of different times, but drew the the ritual of it.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I still know a couple. I still know a couple
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: that are in my wheelhouse of age group, you know,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: twenty eight to thirty five that have made it from
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: their crew from high school, that they'll still make it here.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I like there's one friend of mine who now lives
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: in Kansas City still make sure that they return back
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: for opening Day. So there are a little bit of
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the celebrations. There are still some that lock it in
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: as the tradition. For one, I think this is a
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: tradition that I'm excited to be able to make. We
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: made the run over to Amfam on Tuesday, and I
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: didn't realize speaking of the Koozie Club that they now
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: have opening day.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Coozies for the squad.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: So that got fired up yesterday and the first Irish
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: cricket was cracked in there and taken down yesterday during dinner.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: But I think the one piece of an opening day
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: tradition comes to at least for me, it's the first
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: chance that I get to lose on a home run
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: parlay that's gonna happen at the Potawatami Sportsbook here later
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: on today, because Bryce Terang feels way too good at
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: plus six hundred. It just feels like an absolute steal.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Or you know, maybe it's a certain dip that somebody
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: fires up. Maybe it's a maybe it's a celebration, certain
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: kind of broad.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: That you can get.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Maybe over at Beuture Meets, they had a couple of
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: good ones there, so I think there's a number of
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: different ones that could fire up. My mom also, as
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you mentioned, letting me walk around and not necessarily see
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the guy live outside of section one fourteen relieving himself.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: She also took the arrows at school because my mom
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: was the secretary at the at Saint Mary's Parish back
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: in the day.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: So when she then returned the next.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Day or maybe the day before Opening Day, not only
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: you know the principal will give the side I right,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: but she was a baseball fan too. It was all
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the others, It was all the other teachers of so
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: it's really going to go to a baseball game. You know,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the last time that he left early to go to
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: that Packers game with his dad. You know what his
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: homework smelled like. You know what was spilled on his homework, right?
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I think it was Miller High Life. I can correct you.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: It was actually Miller Lite and a little bit of
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Paps Blue Ribbon, because that's what was going on at
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the tailgate. But there's a there's a family atmosphere to it.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Even though my wife did ask, it's like, so like
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: next year, you think we can bring the little guy
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: And I think this one gets I think this one
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: starts around double digits. I think opening day would start
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: for the first first experience right around ten, for you
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: to be a little bit cognizant of what all is
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: transpiring around you. Yeah, even though he did say, I
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: want to go to the crazy game, Crazy game, I
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: want to go to the crazy I've.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Spoken to players and coaches and particularly their wives who
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: you see downstairs outside the clubhouse on big games like
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: this on a nightly basis. Basically you say hi and
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: sometimes get conversant with them. And I had players tell
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: me that I'm my kids are never coming to another
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Opening Day here, that'll be enough, because they were just
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: it was just too much.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Now again, it's not Caligula anymore the way.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: It used to be. It used to be a way more.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Oh it was impressive for what you were saying. Yes, yeah,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and it's not.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: There will still be some people who are over served
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: and like knocked out by the third inning. But that's
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the that's part of it. So it's part of the tradition.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: It's part that they embrace. I don't know, it's it's
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: not going to change. It's evolving a little bit kinder
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: and gentler, and it's just well, it's one of eighty
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: one that we get to savor with the Brewers. During
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six championship season, they had the two
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: exhibition games and hopefully a couple of playoff games down
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: the road. But if you have an opening day tradition
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: or memory, this is the day, hit us up with it.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Eight seven seven seven nine four seven three. You know,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I missed a lot of them. I never went in
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: high school because we always had a damn track I was
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: gonna say, you were probably competing during those times, right,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I always had a track meet on the Monday or
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Thursday of opening Day, just somehow lined up that way.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: And then I went to a few as a kind
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: of a when I started in the business, when I
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: was in college and I started the business, went to
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: a few and enjoyed them to the fullest. It's the
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: three act play, the tailgate, the game, and then the
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: post game, and the post game and then back then
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of times it would be into the final
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: four because it was a Monday game at night. So
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: those were great sports days and I remember them fondly.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: But then for the last, you know, many many years
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Billy's entire life, I've been being there working, and I've
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: gone into working capacity and not been able to take
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: part so and.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: More just been jealous when you look out of that
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: press box and see everybody having all that kind of fun.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Hardercourt and I would usually take, you know, at some
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: point during the game, we would zip out and walk
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: around and just get a flavor, figure out what it
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: was like, what the tenor But you can't really get
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: it unless you're in the belly of the beast, unless
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: you're walking around or you're you know, and the vibe
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: is a lot of it is who you're with and
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: who's around you. You know, if you're there, there might
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: be some sections. There's a family section right below the
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: press box where there's no alcohol allowed.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: And they'll still be they'll be having a very very
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: good time and they might have might be doing a
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: little bit of judging while the whole thing.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I think that section actually was moved. Yeah, that it's
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: in a different different area now.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, now they still have the one up in four
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: twenty one, right, and then they'll probably have one still
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I would imagine still maybe one in the lowest level,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: but who knows, like and to see the groups that
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: that do make sure that they're at every single opening day.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: They'll also let you know, right, so I'm excited to
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: see how many in a row there have been of
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the same squad being able to get in there. But
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: you're right, Drew, you can only get so much kind
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: of like you and I walking into going into lambeau Field,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: we can only get a little bit of the am
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: beyond from parking lots nine and ten, because if we
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: get any deeper into it, it's gonna be a lot
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: harder for Drew to be able to get me up
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: into the press rice.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, family sections at American Family Field two seventeen, three
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: oh nine and four to seventeen.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: I like that they added one in the club level.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: You selfishly, I love that club. I had to have that,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: had to have that. You love the dessert cart, comfy seat.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I like the comfy seat, especially for a fat like me.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: You get that a little bit of a cushion, but once.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: It hits eighty or ninety you need to retreat to
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: it air conditioned bar.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: That is. I've become a game changer as well. Club.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, seven nine three nicolay lo dot I'm talking text.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: So in honor of Billy's uh soon to fail prop bets,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: we want your wild predictions for the baseball season could
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: be about the Brewers. I mean we actually started last
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: night Yankees and Giants, Yankees prevailing over the Higantes with
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Aaron Judge in postseason fourm with four punch outs. You
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: know you're a big star and he's the MVP, and
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: he's one of the great players of our generation. But
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: you know you're a big star when your team wins
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: its first game of the year and you're in the headline.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Yankees win opener despite four strikeouts from Aaron Judge, like really, yeah,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: like really.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Despite this guy not showing up Captain.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: America, what if he had like grounded out twice and
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: struck out twice, what would the headline be.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Despite judges zero for four.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: But no, Yeah, he had the platinum sombrero, so therefore
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: he's got the You know.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I appreciated the friend of the show and longtime Milwaukee
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: favorite Matt Veaskershon explaining the levels of the sombrero last
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: night too, though I don't I made it just in

• 13:43
  Speaker 1: But it also then, you know, might instigate some you know,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: mistrust of I can't believe everything on the internet.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: So one of the things that marked the Brewers UH
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: season last year was that fourteen game winning streak and
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: an eleven game winning streak and an eight game winning
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: streak that they had those up and they helped with
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: the ninety seven and sixty five record. The franchise record
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: for wins is those lengthy winning streaks. The flip side
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: of that is they were able to avoid h long
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: losing streaks. Although they did lose four in a row
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: to open the season, which was something they didn't do
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the year before. That was a point of contention on
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: the programs because I don't know they had many the
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: season two h One of my hot takes was, that's
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: fair enough that that that's that was meaningless.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Team of baseball. It hasn't lost four in a row?
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Are they as good as the Dodgers because they lost six.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Twenty eleven Brewers, I want to say started zero four
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: It was one of the year, one of the early
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: years in the start of this window of insane competitiveness
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: that did.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and drew as much.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I did have a lot of fun with the torpedo
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: bat Sky's falling radio last year after they gave up
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: what one hundred home runs to the Yankees and how
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: did they avoid it?
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Because that was what everybody has predicted every year for
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: the Brewers and they want everybody wanted them to look
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: like they did that first weekend for the entire season.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, and then let's forget well said.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: We're coming up on what fifty one weeks ago they
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: pulled the trigger on the Quinn Priester trade and every really, oh,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: they're so desperate. They went and got some yokel from
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: the Red soixe. Oh, my man, Dave Gaspers losing up
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: being like the stabilizing force of the rotation and you know,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: one of arguably their best starter last year, and you know,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: along with Peralta, but he was right up there and
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: he didn't lose.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: No, he was phenomenal.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: And so again they started with Vinnie Capra and Oliver
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Miller and the third base platoon, and then they came
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: and then Caleb Durban came up and made a run
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: at Rookie of the Year and end up getting traded
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: into Boston where he's going to be eating chowder and
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: being a star with the Red Sox, a fan favorite.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: So it's, uh, you just can't count these brewers out,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I thought. Murph said a great the other day, as
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: we on this opening day, we take your wild ass predictions,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: So you want to give us a win total or
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: who's going to be the breakout is this year that
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Bryce drag makes an All Star game, whatever it may
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: be hit us up with your prediction seven seven, nine
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: four three. But the I think the only thing you
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: can really predict is that they will continue to beat
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: the odds of the way they have because until proven otherwise,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: it's like they're gonna find a way.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in whatever FanGraph model predicts them at you know,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: seventy nine wins or seventy eight wins seemingly every single year,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: the math isn't able to accurately depict Drew. I think
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the character of the team, and you mentioned it, like
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: the the stats that that are rather meaningless on the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: arbitrary number of like four and row this that and
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: the third. I think the the competitiveness is one thing
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: that you know, you can't just put a number on that,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: and the the ability to in a game that is
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: so hell bent on driving, lifting, and pulling the baseball.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: It seems like they've played just a little bit different
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: than everybody else in that number. But like yesterday, I
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: even had I'm a Milwaukee cap on yesterday, all right,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I was ready after seeing the raising sausages at Chick
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: fil A, which was phenomenal, by the way, oh over
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: in Greendale over on seventy six.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: How did you know they were there? Just an incident.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my wife had every single one of them things.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: We gotta make sure we get Chick fil a.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: That was a phenomenal deal. They're hanging out having pictures.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Kids love the chicken sandwich. Dad gets to have a
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: shake and two spicy chicken sandwiches. That's gonna be a
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: hell of a day.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: That's gonna be a days, gonna be a tough lunch
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: to beat.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: But as then Ken Rosenthal, who you know, want to
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: talk about somebody who's Brewers fans had their ir up
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: for last year, put out his twelve top storylines of
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: the Major League Baseball season.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: And immediately I was wondering, are.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: You even gonna mention the Brewers Because I rolled through
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: number one, We're talking Yankees, number two, talking about the Socks.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Then we're talking Tigers. Okay, okay, Trek' school. Well that's
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: an interesting one. Shockingly, Dodgers were all the way at four.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Then we had last night, young man with the sweet
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: looking beard, Tony who's managing the San Francisco Giants, who
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Netflix could not stop showing yesterday.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: I feel bad from a man. Welcome to Major League Baseball.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Get gas seven nothing and have Netflix just hammering you
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: with clips and visuals.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: All night long. Tony Vottello.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Vottello, Yes, I almost said, Tony, we're not in the
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: SEC anymore.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Vottello who he was learning it with that clipboard there. True,
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: he was learning it with that clipboard there.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: But as I'm waiting and waiting, finally, right around number
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: ten of the top storylines in baseball this year comes
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: up Cubs versus Brewers, and obviously the way the Cubs
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: spend they go out and get Bregman, who's a two
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: time World Series champion, they lock up PCA. A couple
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: of days ago, Rosenthal said, here we go again. Cubs
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: loaded up while the Brewers paired down training their a's,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: trading the third and fourth place finishers and rookie of
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: the year.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Will it matter? Does it ever matter?
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: And that's I think my favorite question is it feels
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: like there's certain folks that always want to be right.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Andrew have been predicting and banking on the Brewers regression
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: for quite some time, but the character of the club
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: is one thing that they've not been able to break,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: as well as the player development, and it's a it's
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: a hidden gem. It's not so hidden for us here,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: but those folks that have been able to see it,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: and they're like, man, how Isaac Collins, twenty eight year
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: old rookie end up in top four in Rookie of
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the Year balloting? Well, what was everybody else missing on this?
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Rule five?
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Guy? Or Caleb Durban was a wash? You d three player?
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: How long is he top three away? Whatever? None?
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Listener, Carol hasn't gotten as much success there, But we're gonna,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: we're gonna, We're gonna take those bears down.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: But you you try to figure it out.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Because Drew, they find the parts of a player's game
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: that you can improve on. And I think they have
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: a number of different opportunities. While many and myself included
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: little trepidacious with the youth in the rotation, would I
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: have liked to see one one more vet alongside Brandon Woodruff,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I absolutely would have, But that would have been going
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: against their process. And who am I to say that
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: this thing ain't working better than anybody.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Could have in Again, the one thing the Brewers are
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: good at, it's fixing the plane while it's in the air.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Because Nestor Cortez was supposed to be a staple of
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: the of the rotation. Then he got torpedo batted, and
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: then he was done after his second start, basically right,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: completely broken, now done, and then traded so and then
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: turned into Brandon Lockridge, who you want to talk about,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: had for a written all over his career.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: He makes the opening day roster.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: He's the quintessential brewer in some ways. I mean it's yeah.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Roosevelt said, every year people like me predict the brewer's demise,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: and every year the crew defies expectations. Their rotation without
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Peralta looks vulnerable. But the same was true for the
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: start of last season, and then Milwaukee won the most
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: games in the majors with ninety seven. Who's this year's
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Aaron Savali getting traded for this year's Aaron or Andrew Vaughan.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Well that's the thing, is there in season moves have been,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: you know, and yeah, there are holes in this roster
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: right now. But who knows how they're gonna fill him.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Reniefo the guy. Will it be a guy from the
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: minor leagues?
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Will it be Andrew Fisher? Will it be somebody?
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Like? They got all kinds of options, They got tons
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: of opportunities. They got tons of young players that can play.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: One of them, Luis Lara is the other guy that
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: just completely gets forgotten about. Yeah, and he has an
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: incredible set of tools that they've been able to develop.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: So I'm I'm fascinated to see you mentioned Luis Brenhifo.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: He's their big offseason signing of one year, three million dollars.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: But a guy that a couple of years ago was
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: a twenty twenty player and hit two eighty. So like,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of opportunity, uh for you to
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: break through, and more importantly, if you're gonna start with
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: the wild ass predictions that the Milwaukee Brewers fans can
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: fire up at eight seven to seven seven nine four
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: one seven three, I don't know how the innings work.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know where on Earth it ends up getting to.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: MS is gonna get really close to two hundred strikeouts?
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I think miss If he doesn't hit the two hundred strikeouts,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: he's near one seventy five. And I don't know how
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: much he's gonna be able to creep up with the
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: innings pitched if he's here in the big leagues. Drew
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: for though twenty five to twenty eight starts man averages.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Seven seven to eight game.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be creeping right near that number
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: where you're talking for it's twenty four year old.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: That's a hell of a benchmark. It would seem like it. Yeah,
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: it would definitely seem like it.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Hit us up eight seven, seven, seven, nine four one
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: ninety seven three year opening day traditions.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Uh, your just thoughts about the season.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: But predictions, wild ass predictions for this because nothing's too
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: wild on the on the dawn of the season here
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Marty and Madison hits us up. I'm a parting text
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: on Nikolay talking text line. He said, happy to opening Day, fellas.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: I hope Armin took the over on the win total
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: eighty four and a half before heading out.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: They're kind of all over eighty four and a half,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: eighty five and a half the Potawatamie sportsbook, they're minus
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: one thirty drew to make the playoffs. But you know,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: or of you just think that once again you're gonna
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: be buying division championship shirts plus two seventy five cubs even.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Money, even money, how about that?
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Ooh, that is a different level of respect.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Dolph is going to join us at six thirty a
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: halftime of the program, and then he's gonna he's sliding
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: down the back of the Dinosaur later and heading over
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: to the ballpark to.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Have some flying right into a Miller Lite, some cold
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: ones for sure.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: And I know a lot of our smart and good
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: looking listeners are gearing up for a big party in
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: the state opening day. What's the better holiday, what's the
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: better day to take off? Opening day or the day
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: after opening day? Because I know a lot of people
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: back in the back in the day, if you were
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: stuck chained to the desk, can't get out of work.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I have to perform surgery, or I have to drive
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: school bus, or I have to shuffle the Penske file
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: and I can't get out. You would then go out
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: at your earliest opportunity four or five, run into the
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: people who had been at the game all day and
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: drinking all day and try to catch up and immediately
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: try to catch up. And that was sometimes a fool
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: definitely a fool's Errand you can't get onday and catch up.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Good luck, You can't get on their level. It's not
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: they're playing strikeout with beer empty beer Pitchers. It's I
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: can't get to that level this quickly. The best is
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: when you were a college freshman, usually sophomore, No Friday, class,
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Thursday game like today, roll in and tomorrow with literally
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: nothing on the on your plate besides going to Oakland
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Euros at noon.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: God, gear up.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: It is opening Day in the good Land and you
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: are in the huddle on Fox Sports Radio wisconsindom gone down, will.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Get my bill.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: The Huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin Opening Day Edition, live
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: from headquarters.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Drew Wilson, Bill Schmid, Andrew Ludwig in for Arman today.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Just about a post, Just about to post a screen
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: grab of our television in the studio which we fired
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: on up on channel three oh eight on our spectrum
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: cable three oh eight and thirteen eight. It says brew
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: threeh eight Milwaukee Brewers is currently unavailable. Please please try
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: again later. So I'm about to post that screen grab
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: because scramps it. Gramps all that cavetching you've done for
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: the last ten days.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: You can relax now now this will be it all
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: all year, right like that, but like I mean in
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: three oh eight will be the channel. But like this
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: is what it will look like if you flip over
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: to it at five forty five in the morning on
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: a random Wednesday, right after the game, right if you've
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: if you were watching the game, and you don't have
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: it automatically triggered to either turn on. Generally it turns
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: on our friend Brook on Spectrum News one right away
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: to fire up right a lot of a lot of times.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: That'll be the auto trigger when you turn the cable
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: box back on. But if you haven't just sat on
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: your dial position, don't be alarmed. You did pay your
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: cable bill throughout the year, that'll just be the case
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: because it's just gonna turn on ten fifteen minutes, thirty
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: minutes before the game, do we.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I think we're gonna get that whole explanation later on here,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: maybe today by Rix Lessinger when Major League Baseball releases
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: it all but.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: There and this isn't this isn't promoing it.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball is like, hey, hey, we'll tell you
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: guys at eight am.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: You guys, just calmed down, But.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: This is just our it's still unconfirmed speculation until we
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: hear officially, but we did see it.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: It says Brewers team, Yeah, Milwaukee Brewers, right tune in later.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: But uh, yeah, there was people freaking out about it
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: and the talking text nine eighty seven seven seven nine.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Now the Cardinals too, they were going to announce their
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: cable position this morning at eight am. I don't know
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: why this had to be like a national secret and
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: they had to wait. I don't understand. Again, I don't
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: cutting deals with that where Baseball still cutting deals with teams.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: I don't understand why it was such a cluster but
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: or a mystery.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: See that's the part of it drew like weird, and
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: I think that's where like the built in speculation and
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: questioning was like, well.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Why don't why don't you just tell us? Why why
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: don't you just tell us? Like you gotta have it.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: They have to have it carved out and ready to go.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: So yeah, And honestly, credit to uh whoever was working
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: at all of the different cable channels for not being
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: the leak. I probably would have been, Hey, it's gonna
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: be here, don't worry about it.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: But the blue bandit on the talking text line it's blue.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Another issue. I have YouTube TV and wonder if the
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Brewers games will be available there. If not, I have
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: to download the MLB TV app. The problem is can't
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: download that app to Samsung nor LG Television. That is
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: a problem. So then you have to have an external
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: device to get the app in order to subscribe. Or
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: you could just put it on your phone and then
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: cast it to this smart team.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: All that could be another way. Yup.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: I've seen ESPN commercials saying they are carrying MLB TV
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: through their app, but I don't know if that would
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: include Brewers Games.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: I believe it does.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Either way, I'll be in attendance at my twenty ninth
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: straight opening day and we'll figure all this out on Saturday.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Hopefully that's the right attitude. Turn your TV on and
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: go hunting around. It ain't that much different than when
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: I want to at Stateley Olsen manor on a Tuesday
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: night in the winter, I want to watch the Badgers play,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, where the hell are they Peacock
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: and I got to go to my phone to the
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: scores app to see what streaming services otherwise I'm through
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: all of them and then it's like, oh, they're on Peacock. Okay,
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: finally Okay, So then I then you fire up Peacock
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: and the again We've talked about how that doesn't let
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: you switch channels and surf around during commercials are down.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they lock it in to watch all of
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: the different runs that they have of you know, the
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: new Ted series that has to be brutal.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: The television experience as a fan is so much worse
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: than it was, you know, thirty years ago.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: To me, it's just like it used to be better.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: You and I talked about this.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: The peak of television, Drew was probably four TiVo and
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: its height, you know, everyone going home to watch Desperate
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Housewives every Thursday night. I think it was Thursday night.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: So yeah, we we missed that about twenty years in
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: the past.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: That show was a banker though it was. That show
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: was a banger, no doubt about it, no question, But
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: like the the fact of what Blue band it was saying. So,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: I I believe ESPN is just another conduit in which
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: you can purchase and then view MLB TV, I believe,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: and ESPN has been because all of harrying.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: There in bed like they are now, they run it,
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: They run MLB, they run MLB TV. This I got
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: bad news for.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: They run NFL media too, So soon enough they're gonna
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: get the NBA one.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: If they want it.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Maybe they're gonna expand too much, and the Hogs it's
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: got too fat for them.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: But that neither here nor there.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Everybody in the television sphere is kind of lining up
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: to try to purchase the rights to exactly what Blue
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: is asking.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: There.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Are you able to just buy every Brewers game?
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Can I get for the one hundred dollars that Brewers
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: TV provides?
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: You can get get paid if you pay it at ESPN.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: You'll get it there. You'll get it a MLB. You
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: got the MLB up, You'll get it there.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: So that's the workaround for the team, old school cable
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: troglodyte and knuckle dragging subscriber to cable and I'll get
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: it as part of my cable.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: And you'll get it as part of your package.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: So like the but the ESPN one isn't is interesting
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: because I damn near almost bought a new TV because
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: the SAM the Visio purchase that had did not have
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: the NFL app did not have the Major League Baseball
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: App'm like.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: What, I have one that I'm gonna have to trash
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: because I'm a Spectrum subscriber. But I don't like having
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: the boxes, so you have to use the Spectrum app.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: And one of my smart TV's does not allow you
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: to download the Spectrum Come on, how is that like
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: the most universal thing in the world. Plus, if there's
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: anybody listening, I was just at Spectrum headquarters yesterday taping
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: a show with.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: Hunter Bomb Guard. Hey, there we go.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: No, it's gonna air tomorrow. Oh okay, I take that back,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: It will be tonight.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: It's a Brewist preview season preview that airs tonight. And
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Dennis did say we taped it yesterday. He did say
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: several times like, we're taken this before opening day because
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: we're not going to mention anything that happens because we
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: didn't know.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: I could guess, well, yeah you can try, but.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a seven four ways there and the
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Specderm Sven.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: The Spectrum app just sucks. It's not good. Yeah, it's tough.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: It takes forever to load every time you want to
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: go to it. It's it's slow and clunky, and it's
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: not very The functionality is not good and it's not great.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: It's not great.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Now YouTube TV, as Blue Band it knows, YouTube TV
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: is free flass.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: I love the problem. And if I was to ditch
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: cable after all these years, I would probably go to
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: YouTube TV.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and and they're you know, the quad box is
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: a beautiful creation that they have, but they've never had
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Brewers games right like they they didn't have the fan
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: duel contract for the last two years. So I'm not
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: planning or banking on YouTube TV having the games. I
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: would I would as uh said right there, Yeah, be
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: ready to go through MLB or go through ESPN. ESPN
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: would provide you the little bit of opportunity to do
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: some channel surfing. You can watch basketball and baseball on
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: the same on the same program, on the same streaming service.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: That's a crazy idea, but there's there's a number of
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: different ones that you can cross off.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: That one would be the easiest.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: But man, if you have an grab a Roku or something,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: because that MLB service, I'm telling you is a weapon.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: As somebody that sadly has tapped into all of the
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: different ones. The NFL Sunday ticket is great to be
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: able to watch every game, no doubt about it.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: I love it. It's so much better now that YouTube.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: TV has it, right like, because they have kind of
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: modernized it and made it better.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: But the old school.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: This is compared to like the game pass, where you
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: can watch the condensed games, you can watch back the
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: coaches tape, and we watched the All twenty two during
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: football season. I mean that is an abomination of a program.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, like the software is always slow.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: It kicks you out four or five different times. Man.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: You can check the box score, you can check your
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: fantasy team, you can check four different games. You can
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: turn the radio call on of a Yankee game if
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: you want to hear and you don't want to hear
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Michael Ka. So you got a lot of different options
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: on that Major League app. And I'm very, very excited
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: for the Brewers to just be the site on there
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: and not have to.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Worry about the Bally's app. You want to talk about a.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Bad one, Oh, that was horrendous, and I'm glad we
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: get to, you know, take that out back.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: I have the uh in the past, I used to get.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: The Sunday ticket because when I was a baseball writer
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: and I was off during the falling, I don't want
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: to watch every.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: It's gonna say hard to pass up that.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah to my ass on the couch and watched and
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: availed myself, and there are only a couple of days
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: because you know you're generally gonna watch the Packers game.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: And then there's a lot of games that are just
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: standalone games where you don't need it. I don't buy
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: it anymore. And the only reason you to buy it
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: is if I retire and move to Phoenix or Costa
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Rica and I want to watch the Packers. That's that'll
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: be the That'll be the time. Yeah, I was gonna say,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: but the MLB Package. I've had this and I've paid
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: for it gladly for years, and it's such a good
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: product and just being able to flip on like Padre's
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Dodgers at night, or I find out on social that
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: someone in Anaheim Serona no hitter.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: Oh I'm gonna go watch and hop that one pop in.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: And there's more games and more bandwidth, more inventory. So
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: I think you get more out of it than you
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: do the Sunday ticket. Oh that's the Warley, because it's
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: just it's it's such a good product and it's every day,
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: it's half the price, it's every day, and it's a
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: six month Like I want to watch Freddy Peralta's pitch
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: for the Mets, Well, I'm gonna go watch that on it.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: So my advice is, if you're gonna buy the Brewers
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: app spend the extra hundie. You will every game and
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: you will like it, and it'll your appreciation of baseball
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: will grow by leaps and mounds.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: It will.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: And frankly, I think baseball is praying for that, Drew,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: because you want to talk about the ability to make
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: the game a little bit more national and not as regional.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: That's streaming services exactly how they do it.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: All right, I got some mind blowing numbers heading into
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Opening Day for you coming up next, and Hunter bomb
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: Guard's got a little report to get us, so he's
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: going to join us live after seven.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: But we got a report from Hunter next
