Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: 20 minutes-ish.
- 0:01Speaker 2: Cannot wait.
- 0:02Speaker 1: Got Metallica tickets to give away. June 12th, Camp Randall.
- 0:05Speaker 1: Going to be a rockin' night. That's a Hall of
- 0:07Speaker 1: Fame act that you got to go see if you can.
- 0:09Speaker 1: And then Hunter Baumgart talking Brewers. Brewers play the Phillies
- 0:12Speaker 1: this evening. It's appropriate that the Brewers play the Phillies.
- 0:17Speaker 1: Because if they just win, they wrap up. It's a buy,
- 0:21Speaker 1: and the Phillies are still charging.
- 0:23Speaker 3: Lock up the buy, and then, Drew, the way the
- 0:26Speaker 3: games play out here tonight, timing-wise, you can just take
- 0:29Speaker 3: care of your own business, take care of your own house.
- 0:31Speaker 3: Because I imagine with the 540 start, you'll be done
- 0:35Speaker 3: far before Reds and Braves.
- 0:36Speaker 2: So even if.
- 0:38Speaker 3: Uh, my boy coming in here at four and four,
- 0:40Speaker 3: Brandon Williamson goes and locks down the Braves and the
- 0:43Speaker 3: Reds give you a win. And that would have locked
- 0:44Speaker 3: up the buy anyway, your game will be long gone.
- 0:47Speaker 3: So you can celebrate yourself.
- 0:48Speaker 1: So magic number for a buy is one magic number
- 0:52Speaker 1: for the number one seed is four and a really fascinating,
- 0:56Speaker 1: fascinating one later, uh, tonight.
- 0:59Speaker 3: Padres and Dodgers start up their three-game series, their last
- 1:02Speaker 3: one of the season. Padres in the wild card right now,
- 1:07Speaker 3: squared with the Cubs.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Cubs have the tiebreaker.
- 1:10Speaker 3: So Padres got to best them to host their three-game series.
- 1:14Speaker 3: And then the Phillies just one game back of the
- 1:16Speaker 3: Padres and Cubs. Phillies don't, you can't imagine they want
- 1:19Speaker 3: to play the Braves.
- 1:21Speaker 2: You wouldn't think. You can't think they want to play
- 1:22Speaker 2: the Braves.
- 1:22Speaker 3: So they're going to be duking it out the last
- 1:26Speaker 3: week to see. And the Brewers are kind of right
- 1:28Speaker 3: here in the middle. Interested to see if they... finagle
- 1:32Speaker 3: their roster and their play any which way. I heard
- 1:35Speaker 3: Jeff Levering talking about it when they clinched. He's like,
- 1:38Speaker 3: you know, the Brewers might be able to help manipulate
- 1:39Speaker 3: who they play. I don't know that that's a world
- 1:42Speaker 3: I really want to traffic in, Drew, of trying to
- 1:45Speaker 3: play my way into a matchup.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Anger the sports gods. You have to say, we're going
- 1:49Speaker 1: to win 100 games and champions fear no one. Bring it, whoever.
- 1:53Speaker 2: We got to play them. They're on the schedule. Let's go.
- 1:55Speaker 3: Yeah, if it's in-game and it's in-season like that, I
- 1:58Speaker 3: don't want to manipulate. Now, if you wanted to mess
- 2:00Speaker 3: around and as I'm looking up all the timelines of
- 2:04Speaker 3: the NLDS, CS, and World Series games, if you wanted
- 2:08Speaker 3: to do it like some people have queued up of,
- 2:10Speaker 3: the number one seed gets to pick their opponent on
- 2:13Speaker 3: a television special, then I'm okay for it. If you
- 2:15Speaker 3: start messing around playing games trying to get there, it
- 2:18Speaker 3: ain't going to work out for you. So just go
- 2:19Speaker 3: out there and play. Yeah, and especially this year, the NL, man,
- 2:22Speaker 3: because who wants to play anybody? There's just so many good,
- 2:25Speaker 3: talented teams. Listen, look at the Padres, how hot they've been.
- 2:28Speaker 3: I mean, they are scorching hot right now. They won
- 2:31Speaker 3: five in a row again. They were scorching hot when
- 2:33Speaker 3: the Brewers visited. They were scorching hot when the Brewers visited.
- 2:35Speaker 3: I don't know what they are. I mean, it was
- 2:36Speaker 3: like 9-10 or whatever they are. They're going crazy. So
- 2:39Speaker 3: who wants to play them? Who wants to play anybody
- 2:41Speaker 3: right now? And that's what I'm saying is the NL
- 2:44Speaker 3: is so strong.
- 2:45Speaker 2: If the Brewers win, yeah. It makes no sense to try.
- 2:47Speaker 1: It even because it's going to be tough. You might
- 2:48Speaker 1: go to the World Series and face the Yankees at
- 2:50Speaker 1: full strength.
- 2:50Speaker 3: Right.
- 2:51Speaker 2: So it'll be tough either way. And so if you
- 2:53Speaker 2: accomplish it out of the NL, it's supposed to be,
- 2:55Speaker 2: and that's what it's going to be this year. It's
- 2:57Speaker 2: supposed to be. You have to be good all the time.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:59Speaker 2: What's the word on judge?
- 3:01Speaker 3: He went back on the IL and now he's like
- 3:04Speaker 3: maybe going to be able to go. Yankees and Rays
- 3:08Speaker 3: also start up a series here today. Now that division
- 3:12Speaker 3: is all locked up.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Yeah, celebrate, right? I think it's one game on the
- 3:18Speaker 2: magic number for.
- 3:19Speaker 3: That, unless you completely shut the box. But otherwise, the Yankees'
- 3:23Speaker 3: fate is pretty well set. They're going to host that
- 3:25Speaker 3: series against the Red Sox, same place they were last year.
- 3:29Speaker 3: And if you think Brewers-Cubs is something that gives you
- 3:33Speaker 3: consternation and constipation to think of... Can you imagine what
- 3:38Speaker 3: Yankees Red Sox does knowing that that's only a three-game
- 3:40Speaker 3: series instead of a five-gamer? Oh, my man Wayne Larrabee
- 3:43Speaker 3: is already gearing up mentally, I think, for that one.
- 3:45Speaker 3: Emotionally and mentally for that one. Because it will be, obviously,
- 3:48Speaker 3: any Yankees Red Sox postseason battle, as we've known from
- 3:51Speaker 3: the early 2000s, is going to be absolutely crazy.
- 3:53Speaker 2: And this one's no exception. The AL East is going
- 3:55Speaker 2: to dominate the AL playoffs. There's no question about that.
- 3:57Speaker 2: By the way, you asked about Judge Quickbilly.
- 3:59Speaker 3: He did enter the 10-day... il on saturday his quote
- 4:03Speaker 3: was quote i'd like to be back by the postseason
- 4:05Speaker 3: that's definitely the plan the 10-day il so the 10th
- 4:08Speaker 3: day is probably the last game of the season so
- 4:10Speaker 3: we'll see i've got no answers for you on any
- 4:12Speaker 3: timeline or anything like that oh okay no thanks yeah
- 4:15Speaker 3: i'm sure you'd like to have.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Some answers are the red sox one of the best
- 4:18Speaker 1: stories in sports this year.
- 4:19Speaker 3: Yeah gotta be from 10 and 17 to the playoffs
- 4:21Speaker 3: how did it happen i mean they they are i
- 4:23Speaker 3: think for sure caleb durbin's in the center of that
- 4:25Speaker 3: you know he really is He's represented the kind of
- 4:28Speaker 3: emotional resurgence the team has had.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Beloved now. Started out hated and now beloved. And they've
- 4:34Speaker 2: lost 7 of 11, right?
- 4:35Speaker 3: So it's one of those tough deals where the baseball
- 4:39Speaker 3: season is going to happen as it happens.
- 4:41Speaker 2: There's going to be the ebbs and flows.
- 4:42Speaker 3: But now, just like I think Drew in the first
- 4:45Speaker 3: two weeks of the season, now you get to overreact
- 4:48Speaker 3: even more to how the recent play is. Yep. It
- 4:51Speaker 3: doesn't necessarily much matter when they play those three games.
- 4:53Speaker 3: Are you closed out the year? But it'll be one.
- 4:56Speaker 2: That the fan base looks at even more as, well,
- 4:59Speaker 2: you're just rolling in here way too slow. All the socks.
- 5:01Speaker 1: This being a buy or sell Tuesday, you can hit
- 5:03Speaker 1: us with your propositions. Prop Joe. 877-794-1973. Meanwhile, back here
- 5:10Speaker 1: among the Tyrant Strip Club ads, the Tigers played a
- 5:12Speaker 1: game last night. River Ryan pitched. His Tigers debut. The
- 5:17Speaker 1: key guy in the Scooble train. First major league appearance
- 5:21Speaker 1: since 2024. Three innings, two hits, one walk, three strikeouts.
- 5:26Speaker 1: And he hit 98 miles an hour.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Oh, okay. His debut.
- 5:31Speaker 1: Buying or selling that, we're going to look back and
- 5:33Speaker 1: say it's a good thing the Brewers didn't get Scooble
- 5:35Speaker 1: and that they hung on to Logan Henderson. I'm going
- 5:38Speaker 1: to buy it just because I think Logan Henderson is
- 5:40Speaker 1: that good. I don't know that I'm, I will still struggle,
- 5:46Speaker 1: especially once game two rolls around and Scooble's lining up
- 5:49Speaker 1: on the mound at American Family Field in the NLCS,
- 5:52Speaker 1: saying that it's not a great thing that they didn't
- 5:54Speaker 1: get him. But I will when the Brewers chase him
- 5:57Speaker 1: in the fifth inning with like six hits and four
- 6:00Speaker 1: earnings and traffic on the base pads.
- 6:02Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 6:02Speaker 3: So I'm still manifesting it, Drew. But I can't say
- 6:06Speaker 3: I'm not nervous about facing 29 in the playoffs. Yeah,
- 6:08Speaker 3: this is hard because Scooble is so talented. He's going
- 6:11Speaker 3: to be good, I think, in the playoffs, just the
- 6:13Speaker 3: way he is. And also because it's the Dodgers. I
- 6:16Speaker 3: think that's where you sell it. But I definitely buy
- 6:19Speaker 3: it in terms of I do think we consistently overrate
- 6:22Speaker 3: deadline acquisitions. We did it last now. Scooble's special, though. But, yeah,
- 6:27Speaker 3: losing Logan Henderson would have been tough, too. So I'm
- 6:30Speaker 3: okay with where we're at. although I know it's not
- 6:33Speaker 3: the right attitude for some because that attitude has not
- 6:36Speaker 3: gotten us a World Series. And if Scooble is that
- 6:38Speaker 3: difference in an LCS, to your point, Billy, yeah. I mean,
- 6:41Speaker 3: I might second guess that. But I'm going to want
- 6:43Speaker 3: Logan Henderson.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Absolutely. So I am buying it. I am buying.
- 6:47Speaker 3: I didn't want to trade Logan Henderson going into it.
- 6:50Speaker 3: When I knew he was the price tag, I told
- 6:53Speaker 3: myself I'm going to be okay with it. So, Drew,
- 6:55Speaker 3: I've got to remind myself when the process hits that
- 6:58Speaker 3: moment when they're going to face off against them. it
- 7:01Speaker 3: might be Henderson and Scooble, which might be even better.
- 7:03Speaker 3: That matchup might even be more appetizing. The thing is,
- 7:06Speaker 3: Scooble got to the Dodgers and he's getting better, healthier,
- 7:11Speaker 3: and they have the luxury of like, you know, we're
- 7:15Speaker 3: just playing for October.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Just, you know, help us out here.
- 7:17Speaker 1: And just like the good stuff will start in a
- 7:18Speaker 1: little bit, you know, but the thing is with the
- 7:22Speaker 1: coaching the Brewers have with Hook and Henderson.
- 7:24Speaker 2: What would they have done with Scooble and It is tantalizing.
- 7:28Speaker 3: See, and that's the coaching part of it for both
- 7:30Speaker 3: sides too, right? Like that's the part that the Dodgers
- 7:32Speaker 3: don't get nearly enough credit for on the periphery is.
- 7:36Speaker 3: They got a great game planning and strategy department, just
- 7:40Speaker 3: like the crew does, right? It's one of the reasons
- 7:42Speaker 3: how you are able to supplement, not only just because
- 7:45Speaker 3: you have great players, but they also have Andy Paz
- 7:48Speaker 3: turned into an all-star because of their development. They were
- 7:51Speaker 3: going to be able to, once they got their hands
- 7:53Speaker 3: on him, I imagine spruce him up even more. But
- 7:57Speaker 3: pitching behind Yamamoto, that's going.
- 7:59Speaker 2: To be a hell of a run.
- 8:00Speaker 3: I can't wait and bad... to be already looking for
- 8:03Speaker 3: that series already?
- 8:05Speaker 2: Because you still got to win a five-gamer.
- 8:07Speaker 3: But man, do I got my eyes peeled and glued
- 8:11Speaker 3: to that seven-game NLCS for.
- 8:13Speaker 2: When LA wins it.
- 8:13Speaker 3: I think a lot of us do, which is probably,
- 8:15Speaker 3: like you said, a very fool's errand because getting through
- 8:19Speaker 3: the DS is going to be tough no matter who
- 8:21Speaker 3: you face in a five-game series. And it will be
- 8:22Speaker 3: an accomplishment. And I don't want to hear anyone say
- 8:25Speaker 3: differently if they do it, but they don't.
- 8:27Speaker 2: But you're right. Looking toward the LCS, I think everyone's
- 8:30Speaker 2: got the.
- 8:31Speaker 3: The Dodgers is the big bad wolf, the boogeyman that
- 8:34Speaker 3: we had to finally slay.
- 8:35Speaker 2: And maybe that's going to be remaining the case. Hopefully
- 8:37Speaker 2: they do it.
- 8:39Speaker 3: The thing with Scooble is also you, because of how
- 8:43Speaker 3: special he's been. his standard is higher for what you
- 8:46Speaker 3: think you should be getting from him. If you look
- 8:48Speaker 3: at Scooble's numbers with the game logs with the Dodgers,
- 8:52Speaker 3: they're good, but there's only been.
- 8:54Speaker 2: One shutout performance.
- 8:56Speaker 3: I think when it comes to playoffs and trying to
- 8:58Speaker 3: make the World Series and getting the most special guys,
- 9:01Speaker 3: you need... him to be for bad lack of a
- 9:04Speaker 3: better term. You need him to be the Sabathia to
- 9:06Speaker 3: like never give up a run. And I know that's
- 9:08Speaker 3: an impossible standard. And obviously everyone gives up runs literally,
- 9:11Speaker 3: but if Scooble is just good enough, but not dominant,
- 9:15Speaker 3: is that enough for what you think you should get
- 9:17Speaker 3: from him? Now we don't know yet what he's going
- 9:19Speaker 3: to do with the playoffs. He might turn it on.
- 9:21Speaker 3: He might be super special when it comes to that,
- 9:23Speaker 3: but it's almost like you need the best of the
- 9:26Speaker 3: best performances.
- 9:28Speaker 2: If you're going to get a guy like that. Well, Yeah.
- 9:30Speaker 3: They haven't been totally getting them. I mean, they've been
- 9:32Speaker 3: getting good performances. Was he supposed to be prime Cy Young?
- 9:37Speaker 3: I think a lot of people expect that from a
- 9:39Speaker 3: guy like School. They say he's the best pitcher in baseball,
- 9:42Speaker 3: and they want him to be that guy. And you
- 9:44Speaker 3: are going to trade a lot for him. You want
- 9:46Speaker 3: that return from him. But is that unrealistic?
- 9:50Speaker 2: Probably. That's where I agree. I mean, it's unrealistic.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Prime side here. That's like comparing anybody to what CeCe
- 9:57Speaker 1: did here. It's like, oh, well, why don't you win sevens?
- 10:00Speaker 1: Bowls like Tom Brady?
- 10:01Speaker 3: Well, but isn't that what you are looking for when
- 10:03Speaker 3: you trade for a guy like that? In two of
- 10:08Speaker 3: his last three outings, I get his last one wasn't great.
- 10:10Speaker 3: He gave up four runs in five innings. He went
- 10:12Speaker 3: seven shutout and giving up three hits in one walk.
- 10:16Speaker 3: That was his best start since coming to the Dodgers.
- 10:18Speaker 3: Seven and a third, four hits, two runs. Two walks,
- 10:21Speaker 3: five Ks. He's been pretty good. And he's pitching better
- 10:24Speaker 3: than he did in Detroit. Pretty good is not what
- 10:27Speaker 3: people wanted Scooble for, is my point. If we got that,
- 10:30Speaker 3: I'm telling you, people would be disappointed so far with
- 10:33Speaker 3: what he's given you. I'm just giving my... This is
- 10:36Speaker 3: what I think fans would say. I'm not saying they're right, but.
- 10:40Speaker 2: It's a buy or sell Tuesday.
- 10:41Speaker 3: 877-794-1973.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Buying or selling one of the more underrated brewers of
- 10:47Speaker 1: the season has been Shane Drohan.
- 10:50Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
- 10:51Speaker 1: That's for sure he has been. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
- 10:54Speaker 1: He is underrated, underregarded. People are like, oh, yeah, he's
- 10:57Speaker 1: on the team. He's second in innings on the team, right?
- 11:01Speaker 3: I mean, that's... And way more than he had ever
- 11:04Speaker 3: thrown before, Drew. Like, that's where they've also... I mean,
- 11:07Speaker 3: Kyle Harrison, it's been... Exacerbated, the right word? It's been
- 11:12Speaker 3: highlighted even more strongly because he was so good early on.
- 11:17Speaker 2: He kind of hit in innings.
- 11:20Speaker 3: high for his entire career big leagues and minor leagues
- 11:24Speaker 3: combined and for drone throwing 120 i think that was
- 11:27Speaker 3: way more than they would have ever anticipated that he
- 11:29Speaker 3: was throwing and him going in and out of the
- 11:32Speaker 3: rotation i mean we'll talk about with hunter because i
- 11:34Speaker 3: don't know that there is a bigger fan of shane
- 11:36Speaker 3: drone in the bullpen than hunter bomb guard he'll be
- 11:40Speaker 3: one of the Does it come down to him and
- 11:42Speaker 3: Harrison for who ends up making the playoff roster? Because,
- 11:45Speaker 3: I mean, the way Bobby Gasser's been pitching, he's for
- 11:47Speaker 3: sure locked his hand.
- 11:48Speaker 2: Yeah, he's locking it.
- 11:49Speaker 3: And it's going to be interesting to see who gets
- 11:51Speaker 3: that 13th pitching spot because it kind of feels like
- 11:55Speaker 3: it might come down to those two. And one's got
- 11:57Speaker 3: some experience pitching at least well out of the bullpen.
- 12:00Speaker 3: And the other one, I don't know, he's gotten one
- 12:02Speaker 3: out coming out.
- 12:02Speaker 2: Of the bullpen. Yeah, you can't trust Harrison right now.
- 12:05Speaker 2: He's giving up a lot of hits.
- 12:06Speaker 3: The whip is high, but he's been a good replacement
- 12:11Speaker 3: plus innings eater.
- 12:12Speaker 2: He's a strikeout and inning guy.
- 12:15Speaker 3: I think you'd avoid using him in the postseason, obviously,
- 12:18Speaker 3: unless you have to. But I think he's an important
- 12:21Speaker 3: guy to have on a team like this where you've.
- 12:23Speaker 2: Had to eat up innings, get through it with good.
- 12:25Speaker 3: He's a representation of good depth, if that's not a
- 12:27Speaker 3: better term for that. I think absolutely he's been important.
- 12:30Speaker 3: I guess I can check myself here. It's been a
- 12:33Speaker 3: while since he's thrown this many innings, but in 2023...
- 12:37Speaker 3: between AA and AAA. He threw 123 innings on 25 starts,
- 12:41Speaker 3: 27 games pitched. 129 innings in 2022 from high A
- 12:46Speaker 3: to AA. But I mean, 120 big league innings is
- 12:50Speaker 3: a little bit different than what those are. And I
- 12:54Speaker 3: also do think the fielding independent pitching for him, some
- 12:56Speaker 3: of the other numbers that a lot of people like
- 12:58Speaker 3: to use are pretty solid. I'm fascinated to see how
- 13:02Speaker 3: much they use them because Henderson or Harrison obviously gets
- 13:05Speaker 3: the credit from that deal, but Drowan has been just
- 13:08Speaker 3: as good, Drew, because they needed somebody to get a
- 13:11Speaker 3: number of innings for the majority of this season.
- 13:14Speaker 4: Right.
- 13:15Speaker 3: And the youth and the staff, I don't know that
- 13:16Speaker 3: a lot of people were planning on him being one
- 13:18Speaker 3: of them. You're planning on Brandon Sprook being a bigger one.
- 13:20Speaker 2: Yeah. And Drowan kind of became that guy. Lance McCullers
- 13:24Speaker 2: being one of those guys. What is he doing right now?
- 13:28Speaker 2: He's going to get a ring. Heck yeah, he's going
- 13:29Speaker 2: to get a ring. Yeah, he is. What is he
- 13:33Speaker 2: doing right now? Probably watching.
- 13:36Speaker 3: Lance McCullers Jr.
- 13:37Speaker 2: Is a baseball free agent. I don't think anyone picked
- 13:41Speaker 2: him up.
- 13:41Speaker 3: I didn't know if he would go and try to
- 13:43Speaker 3: help the Milwaukee Milkmen finish off their championship run that
- 13:48Speaker 3: they were just on.
- 13:48Speaker 2: Or the Long Island. Could have found himself some innings.
- 13:52Speaker 3: What's that independent league in New York or Jersey?
- 13:55Speaker 2: The Long Island Ducks or something like that? I don't
- 13:58Speaker 2: remember what it was. I'm really glad you said Ducks.
- 14:02Speaker 2: What else was.
- 14:04Speaker 3: I going to say? I don't say those bad words
- 14:07Speaker 3: on radio. Yeah, I would think he's waiting for a ring,
- 14:11Speaker 3: I would say. But Drone's been, you know, the depth piece.
- 14:14Speaker 3: I mean, you need to have guys like that.
- 14:16Speaker 2: And you never know.
- 14:16Speaker 3: Maybe if you need innings, maybe if you need a
- 14:18Speaker 3: spot starter, Drone can come up big and you never
- 14:21Speaker 3: know when. Buy or sell the Milwaukee Brewers playoff party
- 14:26Speaker 3: going on here later on today. Starting up at 4 o'clock.
- 14:29Speaker 3: They have a pre-sale going on for playoff tickets starting.
- 14:32Speaker 2: Up at 10 a.m.
- 14:34Speaker 3: So that'll be a feverish race to try to get
- 14:36Speaker 3: some of those remaining ones for Wisconsin residents only. Wisconsin
- 14:40Speaker 3: residents only pre-sale goes on, starts at 10. Then full
- 14:43Speaker 3: playoff tickets for the wild card round. Don't buy the
- 14:46Speaker 3: wild card round. They're not going to play in it.
- 14:48Speaker 3: And the division series, which will start up on October 3rd.
- 14:51Speaker 3: Are you buying or selling $ 65.
- 14:54Speaker 2: Playoff tickets in the terrace level? It's a lot more.
- 14:57Speaker 2: Right about where I thought they would be. It's more
- 15:00Speaker 2: than it used to be, but I don't think it's
- 15:01Speaker 2: a bad price these days.
- 15:02Speaker 3: I think it's right about where I thought they would be.
- 15:04Speaker 3: They still haven't fully let the cat out of the
- 15:07Speaker 3: bag on all of the prices. So I wonder if
- 15:09Speaker 3: they'd be a little more dynamic and they'll move around here.
- 15:11Speaker 3: Different games will be moving around.
- 15:13Speaker 2: These days, yeah.
- 15:15Speaker 3: I'm very excited cuz I'm gonna go check out the
- 15:17Speaker 3: event coming up here later on today. The Win Our Way,
- 15:20Speaker 3: they knew it. They just didn't wanna let everybody know
- 15:22Speaker 3: they do have the Win Our Way t-shirts ready. They
- 15:24Speaker 3: have the Win Our Way signage all over the ballpark.
- 15:28Speaker 3: It's going to be post-seasoned out, and our friends from
- 15:31Speaker 3: Brewers TV are going to be doing a little pregame
- 15:33Speaker 3: show live from the right field concourse coming up today
- 15:36Speaker 3: for the little playoff party.
- 15:37Speaker 2: So I'm excited to check that out. Love that.
- 15:39Speaker 3: You know, I know money's tight these days, but I
- 15:41Speaker 3: do hope fans are out there in the DS ready
- 15:44Speaker 3: to go, be loud, and ready to eat. I hope
- 15:46Speaker 3: it's not like we'll wait till the next round type
- 15:48Speaker 3: of thing. We'll save our money for the World Series
- 15:50Speaker 3: because you never know. They're going to need our support
- 15:53Speaker 3: every way they can. And I think he proved it
- 15:56Speaker 3: last year in the DS against the Cubs. I mean,
- 15:58Speaker 3: Brewers fans showed up for St. Game 5 in volume
- 16:01Speaker 3: and in throat.
- 16:02Speaker 2: Pause.
- 16:02Speaker 3: So I think it's going to be as important this
- 16:05Speaker 3: year whether or not it's the Cubs.
- 16:06Speaker 2: I know the Cubs added extra juice, but.
- 16:09Speaker 3: Um, getting through the DS is going to be difficult.
- 16:11Speaker 3: So hopefully fans are there. I mean, I know it'll
- 16:13Speaker 3: be sold out, but I, well, I'll expect it to be.
- 16:16Speaker 3: And I hope they're ready to be, um, at full
- 16:19Speaker 3: feral throat to help this team through. So feral throat, feral,
- 16:24Speaker 3: you know, like feral fan. I don't know why you
- 16:26Speaker 3: went back to the throat one.
- 16:27Speaker 2: Are there any? That was a risk. Feral Throat, they're
- 16:30Speaker 2: playing at the Rave this week. They're opening? Yeah, they're opening. Listen,
- 16:34Speaker 2: and it's going to be a fun playoff. What kind
- 16:37Speaker 2: of tunes do they play? I don't know. Pipebomb's favorite.
- 16:40Speaker 3: But we do risk the whole, like, well, Packers have
- 16:42Speaker 3: been in the wild card before.
- 16:43Speaker 2: We need to be hungry.
- 16:45Speaker 3: We need to be ready to, you know, get after
- 16:48Speaker 3: it no matter what because these things can end quick
- 16:50Speaker 3: if you're not in your game. So I do hope fans, yeah, 65.
- 16:54Speaker 3: I'm excited to see you out there. I'd like to
- 16:56Speaker 3: go to a game. I don't know what the schedule
- 16:58Speaker 3: situation is going to be like. They'll play on October 3rd.
- 17:01Speaker 3: So unless you were going to see the Badgers against.
- 17:03Speaker 2: Michigan State, I think you should be okay. Saturday? Sunday,
- 17:07Speaker 2: you can't make it.
- 17:07Speaker 3: I'll be coming back for my anniversary outing the night before,
- 17:10Speaker 3: but maybe we'll be able to make it. Yeah, I'm
- 17:12Speaker 3: hoping actually I can then at that October 3rd.
- 17:14Speaker 2: Look at you, a little anniversary getaway. It's a five-year anniversary.
- 17:20Speaker 3: I got to do something for the five. We can't
- 17:21Speaker 3: go to Subway again. You know what I mean? For
- 17:23Speaker 3: the anniversary. So, all right, mister. Now we let the
- 17:27Speaker 3: cat out of the bag before Dolph gets back here.
- 17:28Speaker 3: What do we got cooking up here for the anniversary surprise?
- 17:31Speaker 2: She's not listening. No, it's no surprise. It's not really
- 17:34Speaker 2: a surprise. We planned it.
- 17:35Speaker 3: But, you know, you guys were talking about vacationing in Detroit.
- 17:39Speaker 2: In Chicago. Don't do vacation. No, we're not going to Detroit.
- 17:42Speaker 3: Remember it was like, was it like a month ago
- 17:45Speaker 3: you guys were arguing about if Chicago is a good
- 17:47Speaker 3: place to visit?
- 17:49Speaker 2: Yeah, Drew loves it. I'm very lukewarm. So we're going
- 17:53Speaker 2: to spend the day at night in Chicago. Look at you.
- 17:55Speaker 2: That's how that started. I'm not afraid to walk into
- 18:00Speaker 2: enemy territory. No, I bought it. Okay. It was definitely purchased.
- 18:04Speaker 2: You cheap.
- 18:07Speaker 3: Armin's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. That was for
- 18:10Speaker 3: Billy because he accused me of cheaping.
- 18:11Speaker 2: Out on my anniversary. There's freebies?
- 18:13Speaker 3: Oh.
- 18:14Speaker 2: I'm just kidding. Go ahead.
- 18:15Speaker 3: All right. Yeah.
- 18:15Speaker 2: You don't want me to bring that one in here.
- 18:17Speaker 2: I would buy that one. I thought we'd be starting
- 18:20Speaker 2: with that conversation today.
- 18:21Speaker 3: Whatever.
- 18:21Speaker 2: I don't care. But you were wet going out on
- 18:24Speaker 2: the field.
- 18:24Speaker 4: It was wet, but the good news was it was
- 18:25Speaker 4: 67 degrees, so it wasn't really cold.
- 18:27Speaker 3: That's true.
- 18:28Speaker 2: It wasn't hot, you know? There's a big difference there.
- 18:31Speaker 3: I mean, like, there's been opening days for the Brewers
- 18:32Speaker 3: where it's been like a 40-degree rain.
- 18:34Speaker 2: That's a big difference. That's true, yeah. Other than the weather,
- 18:36Speaker 2: how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln? Now we're talking. Let's
- 18:41Speaker 2: talk about the football.
- 18:42Speaker 1: Brutal.
- 18:42Speaker 4: It was brutal. I mean, as a Bears fan, it
- 18:45Speaker 4: was frustrating. You had Swift fumbling on the goal line,
- 18:47Speaker 4: and then... Caleb goes down with the injury when he
- 18:50Speaker 4: had looked like a clear path to the end zone.
- 18:51Speaker 4: And that second touchdown, you walked out of it going,
- 18:53Speaker 4: what happened? But I wasn't underestimating the Vikings defense after
- 18:57Speaker 4: the Packer game. I became a believer in that damn
- 19:01Speaker 4: defense after watching them on Sunday.
- 19:02Speaker 2: They are, there's some boys on that roster, man. They
- 19:06Speaker 2: can get after you.
- 19:06Speaker 3: Man, Paul Allen said it in their final call. He said,
- 19:11Speaker 3: Chicago meet Dallas. Talking about Dallas Turner, who was all
- 19:14Speaker 3: over the field. Yeah.
- 19:15Speaker 2: He's a monster.
- 19:16Speaker 3: We got welcome to that week one, and he took
- 19:18Speaker 3: a big jump this year.
- 19:20Speaker 2: He really did, and I don't think there was any...
- 19:21Speaker 2: When he came out of Alabama, I mean, he was.
- 19:23Speaker 4: What was he? He was eighth or ninth overall? He
- 19:25Speaker 4: was a top 15 pick. So I'm thinking, you know,
- 19:27Speaker 4: it's not like we didn't know who he was, but
- 19:29Speaker 4: you're right. This year, all of a sudden, two games in,
- 19:31Speaker 4: are the Vikings now the favorite to win the division?
- 19:35Speaker 4: I guess you'd probably have to make them that.
- 19:38Speaker 1: That's interesting because on a buy or sell Tuesday, there
- 19:42Speaker 1: are eight teams in the NFL... this morning with 2-0 records.
- 19:46Speaker 1: And I think probably three of them are going to
- 19:47Speaker 1: miss the playoffs at least. Ooh, that's a good hot take. Bills, Bengals, Chiefs, Raiders, Eagles, Vikings, Seahawks, and...
- 19:58Speaker 1: Certainly the Raiders are the most surprising out of all
- 20:00Speaker 1: of those. Maybe the Vikings are too. We don't know
- 20:02Speaker 1: what they're going to do with Kyler now. And they
- 20:04Speaker 1: might come back to earth. But the thing about the
- 20:05Speaker 1: Vikings is no matter who they have in there. Tell
- 20:08Speaker 1: me if you guys disagree. Because of their coaching, they're
- 20:11Speaker 1: always tough. They're always good.
- 20:12Speaker 2: Like a tough out. They're never bad.
- 20:15Speaker 3: Because of O'Connell and Flores, I mean, they're always good.
- 20:17Speaker 3: And they have good talent, you know, obviously, around their team.
- 20:21Speaker 4: Against the Packers where they blitz 80% of the time,
- 20:24Speaker 4: you're thinking they cannot sustain that type of defense against
- 20:28Speaker 4: good NFL offenses. But they had a game plan for
- 20:32Speaker 4: the Bears and it worked. The Bears looked lost on
- 20:34Speaker 4: offense at times, missing blocks. Just not being able to
- 20:38Speaker 4: move the ball on the ground. Now, they did end
- 20:41Speaker 4: up with over 100 yards. I don't know what it was,
- 20:43Speaker 4: but that was a frustrating day for a Bears fan
- 20:45Speaker 4: watching that offense against that defense.
- 20:47Speaker 2: Well, it also felt like they got opportunities.
- 20:48Speaker 3: They made it into the red zone, what, three times
- 20:51Speaker 3: and were over three in the red zone? That red
- 20:53Speaker 3: zone defense, I think, is the best part of what
- 20:55Speaker 3: Minnesota brings to the party because they do. They make
- 20:58Speaker 3: you guess right. seven to eight times, right? Like the only,
- 21:03Speaker 3: the only way to consistently beat them is how the
- 21:05Speaker 3: Packers were, which is you got to get big plays.
- 21:07Speaker 3: Cause you've got to make sure a couple of those
- 21:09Speaker 3: drives are three or four time decisions. They're going to
- 21:11Speaker 3: bring six or seven guys in line of scrimmage. And
- 21:14Speaker 3: you're going to have to guess who's coming.
- 21:16Speaker 2: That's true.
- 21:16Speaker 3: And be right consistently down the field. That's, that's a
- 21:19Speaker 3: hard thing to ask a team to do. And it
- 21:21Speaker 3: was a slog with the weather in that game for
- 21:23Speaker 3: both teams. I mean, Minnesota, they have three field goals.
- 21:26Speaker 3: They had 200 and some yards of total offense. But
- 21:29Speaker 3: Kyler Murray's back this week. I don't know if that
- 21:31Speaker 3: will be an improvement over Carson Wentz. I guess we'll
- 21:33Speaker 3: find out. Who do they play this week?
- 21:34Speaker 2: The Vikes?
- 21:35Speaker 3: Minnesota gets a good one.
- 21:37Speaker 2: They get Tampa Bay. Oh. Who needs a win after
- 21:40Speaker 2: what they went through? Needs a win. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah,
- 21:44Speaker 2: the hounds are out calling for them right now, too.
- 21:46Speaker 3: Vikings could be 4-0 when they go to the New
- 21:48Speaker 3: Orleans Saints coming up because they get the Dolphins right
- 21:51Speaker 3: after they get the Buccaneers.
- 21:52Speaker 1: We've buried the lead, tap-danced around it as a Bears fan.
- 21:55Speaker 1: What'd you think of all the memes about Caleb Williams yesterday?
- 21:58Speaker 1: It was nonstop entertainment for us. I actually found it
- 22:00Speaker 1: very entertaining myself. I mean, people are clever, man. Some
- 22:04Speaker 1: of them are very clever.
- 22:06Speaker 3: What was the tone? What was the tenor? What was
- 22:07Speaker 3: it like right away, though, in the stadium? Oh, it
- 22:10Speaker 3: was like a funeral, man. I mean, the way he
- 22:13Speaker 3: went down, was pounding the turf. I'm thinking, oh, man,
- 22:16Speaker 3: that's a knee. I was in the opposite end zone.
- 22:18Speaker 2: Achilles knee something. Yeah, yeah. Non-contact injury. Non-contact, yeah.
- 22:22Speaker 3: Right.
- 22:23Speaker 4: I thought I was thinking the worst as was everybody else.
- 22:26Speaker 4: So we were immediately everybody in the stadium.
- 22:27Speaker 2: And then carted off. Did people go nuts when he
- 22:29Speaker 2: gave the thumbs up and wiped the towel? Yeah, of course.
- 22:31Speaker 4: At first, you know, he's underneath the towel. And then
- 22:33Speaker 4: we see him come out and do the fist pump.
- 22:35Speaker 2: Like, okay. All right. So maybe it's not terrible. Well,
- 22:38Speaker 2: then we find out it's not as bad. So walking
- 22:41Speaker 2: out of the stadium, what was the pep talk to
- 22:43Speaker 2: each other? Guys. It's okay. Tyson Bajan's really good. You
- 22:47Speaker 2: got Bajan.
- 22:47Speaker 3: Tyson Bajan's really good. I actually like him more than Caleb.
- 22:50Speaker 4: Yeah. No, that wasn't it at all. The only thing
- 22:53Speaker 4: that was being chanted outside the stadium was Green Bay sucks.
- 22:55Speaker 4: Just like every other Bear game, as you head out
- 22:57Speaker 4: and go through those multiple tunnels outside Soldier Field, it's
- 22:59Speaker 4: just Green Bay sucks.
- 23:00Speaker 2: Green Bay sucks. And with the Vikings fans chiming in. Yes, 100%.
- 23:03Speaker 2: A lot of Viking fans there as well on Sunday.
- 23:08Speaker 3: But the Bears do have, I mean, one of the
- 23:10Speaker 3: higher-priced backups, I would say, right?
- 23:13Speaker 2: What he's making. I have no idea what Tyson did.
- 23:15Speaker 2: I know.
- 23:15Speaker 3: I remember when he signed the deal. It was a
- 23:16Speaker 3: very emotional press conference. Yeah, it was a pretty big
- 23:19Speaker 3: glue they gave him.
- 23:20Speaker 2: Five million a year, I want to say.
- 23:21Speaker 3: He's a great story, by the way.
- 23:23Speaker 2: He is. D2, right, Billy? D2. Through your 10 million bucks. Yeah.
- 23:28Speaker 4: Came in cold the other day and... You know, I mean,
- 23:31Speaker 4: time was running out, but he drove him inside the 20.
- 23:33Speaker 4: He drove him into the red zone, called off the bench.
- 23:35Speaker 3: And the time he's gotten in the league, he's played well.
- 23:37Speaker 3: I think a lot of people really like him and
- 23:39Speaker 3: think he's a very sensible backup. And that's why you
- 23:41Speaker 3: have a guy like that.
- 23:42Speaker 2: Shepard University? Is that where.
- 23:44Speaker 3: He came from? You are correct. Shepard University in, I believe,
- 23:48Speaker 3: in the PSAC.
- 23:49Speaker 2: PSAC. There you go.
- 23:51Speaker 4: Yeah, didn't know much about him, but he was able
- 23:53Speaker 4: to stick with the Bears, and now he's in his.
- 23:56Speaker 2: Fourth year?
- 23:57Speaker 3: Yeah, and his dad's also like a world champion arm wrestler.
- 24:00Speaker 3: So I got to imagine that for the folks that
- 24:04Speaker 3: are a little bit frustrated as they're eating their Italian beef,
- 24:07Speaker 3: that their quarterback's painting their nails. They would like to
- 24:10Speaker 3: know this guy with an arm sleeve, dad arm wrestler.
- 24:13Speaker 3: A little bit of contrast of the two cats.
- 24:16Speaker 2: There you go. Yeah.
- 24:17Speaker 4: With Caleb, the memes were funny. Bears fans, I think,
- 24:21Speaker 4: were a little bit triggered by it. But, you know,
- 24:23Speaker 4: it's the world we live in right now. And Caleb's
- 24:25Speaker 4: a lightning rod.
- 24:26Speaker 2: For whatever reason. People triggered by something? No way. Can
- 24:28Speaker 2: you believe it? Guy who painted his nails. Just saying. Yeah.
- 24:33Speaker 2: Is there anything wrong with that? I have friends who
- 24:35Speaker 2: paint their nails. Yeah.
- 24:36Speaker 4: And that's just between that and crying in his mother's
- 24:40Speaker 4: arms when he was at SC.
- 24:41Speaker 2: Yeah. So he's an easy target, I guess. But he
- 24:44Speaker 2: brings a lot of that onto himself.
- 24:45Speaker 4: But as far as toughness goes, the dude has started
- 24:48Speaker 4: 36 games in a row ever since he was when
- 24:50Speaker 4: they first said, guess what? We drafted you. Now the
- 24:52Speaker 4: job is yours. And he got the hell beat out
- 24:54Speaker 4: of him. Almost 70 sacks his rookie year. So I
- 24:58Speaker 4: would never, for one, question his toughness. You go from
- 25:01Speaker 4: 59 points, though, to three. That was the thing.
- 25:04Speaker 2: That pretty stark. No doubt. I think after week one,
- 25:06Speaker 2: Bears fans started having those dreams.
- 25:08Speaker 3: In their eyes.
- 25:09Speaker 4: It was not a great day. I mean, again, a
- 25:10Speaker 4: swift fumbles on the goal line. Caleb's got what looked
- 25:14Speaker 4: like a clear path to the end zone. Those are
- 25:16Speaker 4: two touchdowns that came off the board. They got a
- 25:17Speaker 4: field goal blocked. Got a field goal blocked. The weather
- 25:20Speaker 4: was miserable. So, you know. Yeah, I mean, I think
- 25:24Speaker 4: it was more the day. I mean, you guys, I
- 25:25Speaker 4: didn't see the Packer game, but you saw it. That
- 25:27Speaker 4: was raining too, right?
- 25:28Speaker 2: Raining too. It was nasty.
- 25:30Speaker 3: And the other thing is, I mean, they've made that
- 25:33Speaker 3: field at least a little bit more, how do I
- 25:36Speaker 3: say it? able to withstand the conditions. I think we'll,
- 25:40Speaker 3: we'll see it in December, but it's a natural grass
- 25:43Speaker 3: field and it's going to rain. Like at some point
- 25:44Speaker 3: it's going to get slick. It's going to get tough to,
- 25:46Speaker 3: to move. And they definitely did. I'm still Dolph. I'm
- 25:49Speaker 3: still closer with you. I think their offense is going
- 25:52Speaker 3: to be really, really good and really tough to beat
- 25:54Speaker 3: because they still could run the football. I mean, you
- 25:56Speaker 3: mentioned the numbers.
- 25:57Speaker 2: It was tough sledding.
- 25:59Speaker 3: But that Vikings team, I do think you can run
- 26:01Speaker 3: at them a little bit more because if you just
- 26:03Speaker 3: keep drop back passing, you're going to be.
- 26:05Speaker 4: In a tough life. Yeah, eventually it got to that point.
- 26:08Speaker 4: They ended up with 300 and some yards of total offense.
- 26:11Speaker 2: It wasn't a great day. They outgained Minnesota. But, you know,
- 26:14Speaker 2: there's a lot of work to be done there, whether
- 26:16Speaker 2: it's with or without Caleb. Now, what are we hearing?
- 26:18Speaker 4: Is it going to be three weeks, one to three weeks?
- 26:20Speaker 4: They don't know if he might play this week. I'd
- 26:23Speaker 4: be surprised at that.
- 26:25Speaker 1: We were saying they might have to just keep him
- 26:28Speaker 1: out just for appearances.
- 26:30Speaker 2: Just to help him out a little bit.
- 26:33Speaker 4: I've always heard with that type of an injury, though,
- 26:34Speaker 4: you can go from grade one to grade three, whatever,
- 26:38Speaker 4: in a hurry if you aggravate it.
- 26:39Speaker 2: Very much can. Very much can.
- 26:41Speaker 3: But again, he started his rehab right away, Dolph. Yeah,
- 26:44Speaker 3: the guys carry him off the field. It looked like
- 26:47Speaker 3: he immediately went to the heating pad, got the cart,
- 26:50Speaker 3: wasn't trying to be one of these Tommy Tough guys
- 26:53Speaker 3: and walk off the field with an injury and make
- 26:55Speaker 3: it worse. He said, I am focused on my team,
- 26:57Speaker 3: and I'm getting myself back right away. He had the
- 26:59Speaker 3: towel over the face.
- 27:00Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 27:01Speaker 3: Because actually, when you don't have a hyperbaric chamber, you
- 27:04Speaker 3: move around the oxygen and the CO2.
- 27:06Speaker 2: Actually, that's better for you. That's right. He was the
- 27:09Speaker 2: next level thinking arm. That's right. Absolutely.
- 27:11Speaker 4: This is an injury that every schmuck like me that
- 27:14Speaker 4: played softball can relate to. You know, this is the
- 27:16Speaker 4: one we do more than anything else is pull that
- 27:18Speaker 4: damn hammy. And then you try to come back four
- 27:21Speaker 4: games later, beer on base softball, and you just make
- 27:23Speaker 4: it worse.
- 27:24Speaker 2: And then the summer's lost.
- 27:25Speaker 3: I pulled mine the other night trying to get out
- 27:27Speaker 3: of the little guy's bed.
- 27:28Speaker 2: That guy. I got him to bed, did like the
- 27:30Speaker 2: sweet rollover. Oh, your boy thought I was smooth.
- 27:33Speaker 3: I reached the leg over the side and it pulled
- 27:37Speaker 3: right as I stretched that leg out and I collapsed
- 27:40Speaker 3: onto the floor. So I felt Caleb's pain there for
- 27:43Speaker 3: a little bit. Now, listen, again, I did grin and
- 27:46Speaker 3: bear it. I got out of the room and didn't
- 27:48Speaker 3: wake the kid up. So I felt like I finished
- 27:50Speaker 3: the run. Didn't need to be carted out of the
- 27:51Speaker 3: kid's bedroom. I gave him a thumbs up though.
- 27:54Speaker 2: Towel over the head. Yeah, that's awesome. He was ready
- 27:57Speaker 2: for the next game. That was the key. Hey, rough
- 27:59Speaker 2: weekend for quarterbacks.
- 28:01Speaker 4: Not only Caleb, but what happened with, yeah, last night
- 28:04Speaker 4: with Jackson Dart, Washington.
- 28:06Speaker 1: So I guess that fever dream I had of what's
- 28:09Speaker 1: the media going to be like if the Knicks and
- 28:11Speaker 1: Giants are both good at the same time?
- 28:13Speaker 2: I guess we can pump the brakes on that a
- 28:14Speaker 2: little bit. Yeah.
- 28:15Speaker 1: Although Jalen Brunson's going to be hosting Saturday Night Live,
- 28:18Speaker 1: and who would have bet that?
- 28:20Speaker 2: Who would have bet on that like years ago? Like
- 28:22Speaker 2: even before he got to New York.
- 28:23Speaker 3: Right.
- 28:24Speaker 2: Not a chance.
- 28:25Speaker 1: Yeah, they're probably kicking themselves in the house. And how
- 28:26Speaker 1: many Knicks will be involved and how many cameos of athletes?
- 28:29Speaker 1: Will they bring back Jeter or somebody?
- 28:31Speaker 3: Well, and how will they craft in his new family
- 28:33Speaker 3: business of sports agency in there? You got to get
- 28:36Speaker 3: at least one good promo for your new business in there.
- 28:38Speaker 2: Yeah, you would think.
- 28:39Speaker 4: See, there's a Wisconsin resident, a native that's going to
- 28:42Speaker 4: be a regular on SNL now.
- 28:43Speaker 1: Yeah, a female, and she was a cast member. Chippewa Falls,
- 28:47Speaker 1: 25 years old.
- 28:47Speaker 2: It's her first year. She's debuting this week on the
- 28:49Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson episode. That's pretty good. Now we're talking? Come on.
- 28:51Speaker 2: Come on. Grace Ryder. There you go. Grace Ryder. Yeah.
- 28:55Speaker 3: R-E-I-T-E-R.
- 28:55Speaker 2: Looking forward to it. That's pretty good.
- 28:57Speaker 1: I imagine she's a Packers fan, probably a Lionel Kugel's
- 28:59Speaker 1: fan being from that part of the state.
- 29:00Speaker 2: I would think so.
- 29:01Speaker 3: She starred in HBO's The Chair Company and built a
- 29:04Speaker 3: massive following on TikTok.
- 29:06Speaker 4: Wow.
- 29:07Speaker 3: That's how you do it these days. I've definitely seen
- 29:09Speaker 3: this girl on TikTok. Yeah, she is hilarious. Yeah, she's
- 29:13Speaker 3: going to be representing.
- 29:14Speaker 2: Let's go.
- 29:15Speaker 3: Following the footsteps of other Wisconsin cast members.
- 29:19Speaker 2: Obviously, the great Chris Farley.
- 29:21Speaker 3: And Ann Risley grew up in Wisconsin and served as
- 29:24Speaker 3: a regular cast member during the 80-81 season.
- 29:26Speaker 2: That I did not know. Don't know what that is.
- 29:27Speaker 4: Now, those were the dark days of Saturday Night Live,
- 29:29Speaker 4: the early 80s, other than Eddie Murphy.
- 29:31Speaker 2: When Lauren was gone. Eddie Carrier. Yeah, it was pretty bleak.
- 29:33Speaker 1: It was that period when Lauren was gone and Euchre's buddy,
- 29:36Speaker 1: Dick Ebersole, kind of took over.
- 29:37Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 29:38Speaker 2: It was kind of bleak back then.
- 29:40Speaker 4: Although Julie Louis-Dreyfus was I think part of those cast
- 29:42Speaker 4: for one.
- 29:43Speaker 1: Year like one or two one year I think Brad
- 29:45Speaker 1: Hall I think she got fired too didn't she pretty
- 29:48Speaker 1: sure she did tomorrow move huh not no probably was
- 29:51Speaker 1: not yeah I'm just saying yeah Farley was the one
- 29:55Speaker 1: and Armin you love when I went to Saturday Night
- 29:58Speaker 1: Live and for the taping He did the warm-up, audience warm-up,
- 30:01Speaker 1: wearing the Marquette rugby jacket.
- 30:03Speaker 2: Oh, I love that. He kept that thing forever. I mean, obviously,
- 30:06Speaker 2: he had it in Tommy Boy, too. Tommy Boy, yeah.
- 30:08Speaker 2: Kept that one forever.
- 30:09Speaker 3: 1818 Kilbourne, I think, is the house he was in
- 30:11Speaker 3: with the rugby house. And when he was at Marquette,
- 30:14Speaker 3: I'm not sure exactly. It was kind of a pilgrimage.
- 30:16Speaker 2: You had to go.
- 30:16Speaker 3: You know, you stumble by. Marquette campus isn't that big.
- 30:19Speaker 3: So everybody's like, that's where Farley lived.
- 30:21Speaker 1: That's where Farley lived, and that's where Dahmer lived.
- 30:23Speaker 2: Well, that's gone. Oh, wait, they tore that down. That's
- 30:25Speaker 2: gone now.
- 30:25Speaker 3: That's also Marquette property, isn't it? Yeah, it's like 27th
- 30:28Speaker 3: and Wells. It's actually off campus. So it actually has
- 30:31Speaker 3: nothing to do with it.
- 30:31Speaker 4: I thought they owned the property, though, and they decided
- 30:34Speaker 4: to tear the building down.
- 30:35Speaker 2: They might have.
- 30:35Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 30:36Speaker 2: Yeah, like 25th and Wells, something like that.
- 30:39Speaker 4: Is there a plaque where Farley used to live or
- 30:40Speaker 4: is there anything on campus that honors him?
- 30:44Speaker 2: There might be now.
- 30:45Speaker 1: Is there a plaque in the elevator at Schrader Hall
- 30:48Speaker 1: where he soiled himself? My sister was riding up with him.
- 30:52Speaker 2: After a hard Saturday night, he.
- 30:54Speaker 3: We used to say that would have been the toughest
- 30:56Speaker 3: RA job to be his RA. That would have been
- 30:58Speaker 3: the toughest of all RA jobs. No, I don't think
- 31:01Speaker 3: there is. Unless the College of Communication has something in
- 31:03Speaker 3: the building down in Johnson Hall.
- 31:05Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, I'm wondering about that. They might.
- 31:06Speaker 2: I haven't been back in a while. I'm not on
- 31:08Speaker 2: the famous alumni board, so I'm not really. No, I'm not.
- 31:11Speaker 3: Oh, so is that why you don't go back and talk? Well,
- 31:14Speaker 3: I'm not saying I'm boycotting, but I'd love to.
- 31:16Speaker 2: That sounds like it. Well, you know, I mean, you
- 31:19Speaker 2: got to reach out.
- 31:19Speaker 3: You're going to be in one of these sweet advertising
- 31:21Speaker 3: pictures with the crew neck and the collared shirt over
- 31:23Speaker 3: the top of it.
- 31:24Speaker 2: You'd look great in one of those. I'd look great.
- 31:25Speaker 2: I mean, I would.
- 31:26Speaker 3: You know, that's an arm and move right there. No,
- 31:29Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, that'd be nice if they did something
- 31:32Speaker 3: for him. I mean, the legendary figure. I think they
- 31:34Speaker 3: should get a bronze.
- 31:35Speaker 2: Bronze Farley.
- 31:37Speaker 1: By the way, did you see the... Right next to
- 31:39Speaker 1: the pair of Marquette's. Did you see the argument? Back
- 31:40Speaker 1: to the Bears thing. Back to the Bears, thank you.
- 31:42Speaker 1: Did you see the argument that they had on... Not
- 31:45Speaker 1: first take, first things first with Danny Parkins and Nick Wright.
- 31:49Speaker 1: Parkins is like, you know, it was a tough day
- 31:51Speaker 1: to score. It was six to three, you know, it
- 31:53Speaker 1: was 20 mile an hour winds and 500 flights were
- 31:55Speaker 1: canceled out of O'Hare. And Nick Wright is like, it
- 31:58Speaker 1: was hard to score because flights were canceled at O'Hare?
- 32:02Speaker 3: I'm starting to sound like Justin Herbert. It's like, it
- 32:06Speaker 3: was 106 degrees on the turf in Tennessee.
- 32:08Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
- 32:08Speaker 3: You got to give Nick Wright credit because he always
- 32:12Speaker 3: finds a way to craft the debate the way he wants.
- 32:15Speaker 3: But I get the point, like the weather, but.
- 32:17Speaker 2: There's a lot of flights in O'Hare. That's hilarious.
- 32:21Speaker 4: How about yesterday, some dude cut through a cable, a
- 32:23Speaker 4: fiber optic cable, canceled 1,000 flights on the East Coast.
- 32:26Speaker 2: FAA had a bad time.
- 32:27Speaker 4: Hopefully the brewers are fine now when they fly charter, right?
- 32:31Speaker 4: Because Philadelphia was one of the most affected airports yesterday.
- 32:34Speaker 2: So hold on.
- 32:35Speaker 3: My man just took the scissors and just sliced it
- 32:38Speaker 3: in half?
- 32:39Speaker 2: It was a construction guy cut through it. It was
- 32:41Speaker 2: an oops.
- 32:42Speaker 4: And then the government, the DOT blamed an Amtrak crew,
- 32:45Speaker 4: an Amtrak fire back.
- 32:46Speaker 2: Wait a minute.
- 32:47Speaker 4: No, no, this was on New Jersey Turnpike Authority property.
- 32:51Speaker 2: That wasn't us, bro. That was somebody else. I don't
- 32:53Speaker 2: know about you guys.
- 32:54Speaker 3: It makes me nervous to know that our whole family.
- 32:57Speaker 3: FAA structure flights in America is based on one line.
- 33:00Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 33:01Speaker 3: Well, did they not call Diggers Hotline before they did?
- 33:04Speaker 3: Nobody spraying, they're marking the flags.
- 33:08Speaker 1: Orange spray paint was clearly marked on the ground. Is
- 33:11Speaker 1: that working now in a Southwest commercial?
- 33:13Speaker 2: Want to get away? You can't because we cut the cable.
- 33:16Speaker 2: Those were brilliant. That was the Snickers, right? That's great,
- 33:22Speaker 2: but who are the chefs? Yeah, who are the chefs?
- 33:24Speaker 3: The want to get away and real men of genius
- 33:28Speaker 3: would have to be on my Mount Rushmore favorite ad
- 33:31Speaker 3: campaigns because those would walk you into some of the
- 33:34Speaker 3: best ones.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Real men of genius, Bud Light. Bud Light.
- 33:37Speaker 3: Real men of genius. Mr.
- 33:40Speaker 2: Pulling your hamstring, getting out of bed. You deserve an
- 33:46Speaker 2: ice cold Bud Light.
- 33:49Speaker 1: I know you guys, and we're going to give away
- 33:51Speaker 1: Metallica tickets in a little bit. That's a big deal
- 33:53Speaker 1: for us. Camp Randall, June 12th. Already circled the calendar.
- 33:57Speaker 1: After ACDC rocked it this summer, they're bringing Metallica in.
- 34:00Speaker 2: I don't know. It's a pretty good follow-up. Yeah, it's
- 34:02Speaker 2: a pretty good follow-up.
- 34:03Speaker 1: But Dolph, did you guys have occasion on your show
- 34:06Speaker 1: or on the station yesterday to play Earth, Wind & Fire?
- 34:09Speaker 2: Because it was actually September. You did? Yeah, every 21st
- 34:12Speaker 2: of September.
- 34:12Speaker 1: In fact, your listeners are aware of the significance of
- 34:16Speaker 1: that date in that song.
- 34:18Speaker 2: Unlike our producer, Armin Sarri. So Armin, you were on
- 34:21Speaker 2: Game Time yesterday with us, right? I wasn't here yesterday. Yes,
- 34:24Speaker 2: I was. And wasn't that the topic? It was dates
- 34:26Speaker 2: in songs, movies, or TV shows? Right, but because of
- 34:29Speaker 2: what happened here, I kind of was able to cheat.
- 34:32Speaker 2: I would have got it wrong. I don't know. You
- 34:34Speaker 2: didn't hear, but I didn't realize it was the 21st.
- 34:37Speaker 3: Hold on. So you used your insider trading information that
- 34:41Speaker 3: we learned on this show because we walked you through
- 34:44Speaker 3: basically every song with a subliminal message or a date
- 34:47Speaker 3: in it.
- 34:48Speaker 2: Because you didn't know that the 21st of September is
- 34:51Speaker 2: in the song? I don't know why you had to
- 34:53Speaker 2: call me out on it, but yes, I did, okay? Hey,
- 34:55Speaker 2: it's about personal growth, all right? It's about self-improvement. Armand,
- 34:58Speaker 2: it's the first line. Do you remember the 21st? That's
- 35:02Speaker 2: what these guys said. I did not remember. Time for
- 35:06Speaker 2: Who's Hot, Who's Not brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen,
- 35:08Speaker 2: heating and cooling.
- 35:10Speaker 3: Hey, 0% financing. We're up to 60 months on select systems.
- 35:13Speaker 3: Donovan Jorgensen does heating and cooling, and they do it
- 35:16Speaker 3: better than anybody else. You know why? Because that's what
- 35:18Speaker 3: they do. They don't try to do four or five
- 35:19Speaker 3: different things to your home. Heating and cooling, four systems
- 35:22Speaker 3: to better serve the communities. New Berlin, McGuanagoe, West Allis,
- 35:26Speaker 3: and Menominee Falls. All right, I got a couple of
- 35:28Speaker 3: who's hot. Now, Drew, what's hot? comes into who's hot. Julie,
- 35:33Speaker 3: WNBA's back off of their international play break.
- 35:37Speaker 2: We almost missed it.
- 35:38Speaker 3: Angel Reese, 10 straight double-double last night, 18-10. Armin Sarian
- 35:42Speaker 3: was on her rebound prop.
- 35:43Speaker 2: No idea. The San Francisco Giants... the San.
- 35:47Speaker 3: Francisco baseball giants, and people are still wanting to make
- 35:50Speaker 3: that distinction, saw a young man, Bo Davidson, 24-year-old, come
- 35:54Speaker 3: up from AAA yesterday, make his Major League debut with
- 35:58Speaker 3: the fans in the stands, and it appeared to either
- 36:01Speaker 3: be his sister with a baby or his wife with
- 36:04Speaker 3: a baby that was his, getting potentially a little too
- 36:07Speaker 3: excited when my man on his first plate appearance, first A.B.,
- 36:10Speaker 3: Gets his first base hit. A line drive single into
- 36:14Speaker 3: right field. The celebration of the family jumping around.
- 36:17Speaker 2: Awesome.
