0:00
Speaker 1: Dreaming Live, Facebook, x and YouTube. Bill Schmid has left
0:02
Speaker 1: the party. He's going to another party, arguably a better party,
0:07
Speaker 1: Packers first day of training camp. He'll be broadcasting live
0:10
Speaker 1: with the Voice of the Packers and our friend Wayne Larvie.
0:12
Speaker 1: That will take place from eleven am to one pm.
0:17
Speaker 1: And that's gonna be throughout camp, so we'll be skating
0:19
Speaker 1: short handed on the huddle. But Hunter is gonna be
0:21
Speaker 1: in for Arman later this week and that's tomorrow.
0:26
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, Tomorrow, Friday and Monday.
0:28
Speaker 3: As I traverse off to my cousin's wedding, see some
0:31
Speaker 3: family this weekend should be a good time. In a
0:34
Speaker 3: couple of days, a couple of days of well off
0:37
Speaker 3: of this show. I don't know that it's gonna be
0:39
Speaker 3: very busy, so we'll be vacation, but a couple of
0:41
Speaker 3: days off, its gonna be a lot of fun.
0:44
Speaker 1: Wedding, big family gathering, gonna be fun. All right, It's
0:48
Speaker 1: hot te comp day, Nicolay lott Co. I'm talking text
0:50
Speaker 1: nine eight seven seven seven nine.
0:53
Speaker 2: Watch your hot takes. This is from Jeff and Fitchburg.
0:56
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is a hot take us
0:57
Speaker 1: very hot, but I think Luis Lara has Wally pipped
0:59
Speaker 1: out Freel. I know baseball is different. They rotate in platoons,
1:03
Speaker 1: so he'll get time. But started going forward, is Lara
1:07
Speaker 1: and maybe Salves part of a deadline deal.
1:09
Speaker 3: I don't think it's that crazy of a take when
1:11
Speaker 3: you start thinking about what Sal's skills are in his
1:14
Speaker 3: future in the organization.
1:15
Speaker 1: Not to take anything away from Salve, but the reality
1:17
Speaker 1: I like sal too, but but from what we've seen,
1:21
Speaker 1: you see why Lara is got the long term deal.
1:23
Speaker 2: And if Garrett stays healthy, he does this.
1:25
Speaker 3: I mean he in my opinion, I said it two
1:27
Speaker 3: years ago and got roundly criticized for it, but it's true.
1:30
Speaker 3: Garrett does a lot more for you offensively skill wise
1:33
Speaker 3: than Sale does now. Sales big value obviously, besides the
1:37
Speaker 3: emotional ift he gives you and his team kind of
1:40
Speaker 3: first attitude, and he had a good hitting year last year,
1:43
Speaker 3: which as we know wasn't Barrel Ray, but he was
1:45
Speaker 3: able to you know, his hustle, his heart, those type
1:47
Speaker 3: of things. Was his defense and Sales defense hasn't been
1:50
Speaker 3: the same since his goal glove year. Not then it's bad,
1:53
Speaker 3: but it just doesn't excel and give you the team
1:55
Speaker 3: value as much.
1:56
Speaker 2: So it's not that Sal's no place and Lara's pretty good.
1:59
Speaker 4: Laura.
2:00
Speaker 2: Lara is good with the glove and Lara's bat.
2:01
Speaker 3: So I think Sal projects is a fourth outfielder, honestly,
2:05
Speaker 3: and I don't think that's a bad thing, but I
2:07
Speaker 3: think that's the reality he plays in this team.
2:09
Speaker 1: He's Caleb Durban two point zero. Nice player. We like
2:12
Speaker 1: having him, but if he can get you something back.
2:14
Speaker 3: I think I think the tricky the tricky part for
2:16
Speaker 3: the organization is the reality of that.
2:18
Speaker 2: Knowing the emotional ties he has with the fan.
2:21
Speaker 1: Base now well, and that's what Dustin and the six
2:23
Speaker 1: eight hits problem. Dustin writes him says, I've got a
2:26
Speaker 1: friend who perceives South Frielic is untouchable in trade deals.
2:29
Speaker 2: I disagree.
2:30
Speaker 1: I see the guy's an expendable, two fifty batting average guy.
2:33
Speaker 3: Certain guys have a cult hero kind of following. I
2:38
Speaker 3: don't know how to describe what Sal's done, but he's
2:39
Speaker 3: gonna become a sort of a mis mythical idol in
2:43
Speaker 3: terms with with Brewers fans. Not to say he's not
2:46
Speaker 3: a good player or anything like that, but his story
2:50
Speaker 3: is so synonymous now with the DNA of the team
2:53
Speaker 3: and the Bruis fans in this with this era, with
2:54
Speaker 3: this group, then a lot of Bruist fans are emotionally
2:57
Speaker 3: tied to him and they think of him differently that
2:59
Speaker 3: I think you would have another guy with those same numbers,
3:01
Speaker 3: and I don't. I don't want to sound disrespectful, but
3:04
Speaker 3: it's reality. And I remember what was it three four
3:06
Speaker 3: weeks ago when we started thinking about would Sally be
3:09
Speaker 3: untouchable in the trade situation? We got into the big
3:12
Speaker 3: debate in the show because I think a lot of
3:13
Speaker 3: fans might look at that the way they've looked at Hater.
3:16
Speaker 3: Even though I don't think Sal's had the same impact now.
3:18
Speaker 3: He did a company I had to go glove year,
3:20
Speaker 3: and he had a really good year last year when
3:22
Speaker 3: he was hitting. Now he's had some injury stuff like that,
3:25
Speaker 3: but the way laras come up and being able to
3:27
Speaker 3: be an impact, and more importantly, the way Mitchell's kind
3:30
Speaker 3: of surprised us this year staying healthy and being as
3:32
Speaker 3: good as he has been. He's been the revelation where
3:35
Speaker 3: you do have sort of a glut of players in
3:37
Speaker 3: the outfield Drew and he's part of that.
3:41
Speaker 1: Eight seven, seven, nine four one ninety seven to three
3:45
Speaker 1: nicolay Law dot com talking text line get us your
3:47
Speaker 1: hot takes. We will traffic in those. Throughout the program.
3:51
Speaker 1: We mentioned big Brewers victory. Obviously, Packers are the big
3:54
Speaker 1: story today because the Packers begin training camp. We got
3:58
Speaker 1: a gooty news conference that may or may not produce
4:01
Speaker 1: a headline or two, at least some nuggets. Matt Lafleur's
4:04
Speaker 1: first availability of camp and then the guys are gonna
4:07
Speaker 1: be covorting once again. Can encourage you enough. It'll be
4:10
Speaker 1: a great Brewers pregame to listen to Billy and Wayne,
4:13
Speaker 1: and then the Brewers play at two thirty, when the.
4:15
Speaker 2: Packers are done for the day. It could be awesome.
4:18
Speaker 2: So that's a.
4:18
Speaker 1: Pretty good sports I'm looking forward to watching a Brewers
4:20
Speaker 1: game because i haven't seen too many. I've seen the
4:22
Speaker 1: condensed games and the highlights of the last two nights
4:25
Speaker 1: because they're on the West Coast and we're in bed Yea.
4:27
Speaker 3: The West coast trip's very hard for us, obviously, Drew,
4:29
Speaker 3: as you know, to get the all thing. But today's
4:32
Speaker 3: a great opportunity for it. See if the Brewers can
4:35
Speaker 3: go and take another series. It feels like they haven't
4:38
Speaker 3: lost a series in forever.
4:39
Speaker 2: I don't know.
4:40
Speaker 3: I'm sure it was what was at the Pittsburgh one,
4:42
Speaker 3: but it just feels like the Brewers never lose series anymore.
4:45
Speaker 2: It's pretty wild.
4:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got a chance tonight to they got a
4:50
Speaker 1: chance today and again off day tomorrow. Family trip. A
4:54
Speaker 1: lot of layers to this, so it's gonna be interesting
4:59
Speaker 1: to see what happens. The trading deadline is just so
5:01
Speaker 1: delicious to talk about and to spin through the possibilities.
5:05
Speaker 1: And the Tigers, Yeah, are they in it?
5:10
Speaker 2: Are they out? Are they?
5:11
Speaker 1: What are they doing? That's like the first Domino. But
5:13
Speaker 1: there's other guys, like a lot of catchers are going
5:16
Speaker 1: to be uh are being talked about? A lot of
5:19
Speaker 1: teams need catchers, Yankees need bats. Everybody needs pitching because
5:23
Speaker 1: you can never have enough. If the Brewers don't get
5:26
Speaker 1: a targ school and the Dodgers do, how deflating will
5:28
Speaker 1: that be. That's something to think about as we move forward.
5:33
Speaker 1: So oh so much in the offing with the Brewers
5:36
Speaker 1: in these next couple of weeks. Hey, we have a
5:39
Speaker 1: Paul Hanson has a deal for you. I'm wearing iron

6:08
Speaker 1: By the way, Butchy and our friends, we haven't forgotten.
6:11
Speaker 1: We haven't talked about as much because it's not as immediate,
6:13
Speaker 1: But those people cleaning up in Nasha Mina Appleton, we're
6:16
Speaker 1: thinking of you, because God, that was devastating, still chilling.
6:19
Speaker 1: I've tailed off. I only watched a couple videos yesterday. Yeah,
6:25
Speaker 1: of the the carnage and stuff, I think I've seen
6:27
Speaker 1: most of the but man, those shelf clouds and what
6:30
Speaker 1: happened up there, Mother nature was quite frightening. So again,
6:35
Speaker 1: we're thinking about everybody, and still haven't heard about a
6:38
Speaker 1: lot of injuries or any fatalities yet, which is stunning
6:41
Speaker 1: given the breadth well of that storm.
6:44
Speaker 3: That's the blessing of this whole thing, is it seems
6:46
Speaker 3: like that hasn't happened, And thank goodness for that, because
6:50
Speaker 3: as we know, there are some things that can't be replaced.
6:52
Speaker 3: Although it's devastating the destruction and the property and things
6:56
Speaker 3: like that, and the turmoil and the upheaval of people's lives,
7:00
Speaker 3: some things can't be replaced. So hopefully we've been spared
7:03
Speaker 3: the worst in that sense. But yeah, you mentioned reaching
7:06
Speaker 3: out the butch, and I know I heard from him
7:07
Speaker 3: too yesterday, so he feels fortunate he was not in
7:10
Speaker 3: the direct line of the storm and said it would
7:12
Speaker 3: be a lot different. They were, but some people were,
7:14
Speaker 3: and we're thinking about them for sure.
7:17
Speaker 1: And you're catching strays from statman stee. Yeah, let's go
7:19
Speaker 1: South Beach, sorry, and out the next few days.
7:21
Speaker 2: Another wedding. Damn. Yeah, guy attends a lot of weddings
7:24
Speaker 2: not in the South Beach. So this one, no, no good?
7:26
Speaker 2: Your wedding that was a bachelor party? Was this the
7:28
Speaker 2: same Was this the bachelor party for this wedding? Same one? Yeah? Okay,
7:32
Speaker 2: continuing a theme.
7:33
Speaker 3: A theme that was was ubiquitous for me about ten
7:36
Speaker 3: years ago when I was in a lot of weddings
7:38
Speaker 3: and I thought that, you know, there was a couple
7:40
Speaker 3: of summers when it was just peaking, and then I
7:42
Speaker 3: was like, all right, I'm on the down side of
7:44
Speaker 3: the bell curve.
7:46
Speaker 4: Uh.
7:46
Speaker 2: But you know, this is family. This is my cousin.
7:48
Speaker 2: He's getting married.
7:49
Speaker 3: So we're we're we're we're taking the trip out the
7:52
Speaker 3: DC for this one. A lot of great a lot
7:55
Speaker 3: of great things planned to see family, cousins.
7:59
Speaker 2: Pretty excited about that. So yeah, thanks.
8:01
Speaker 3: I know, Statman, Steve is always always given it to me,
8:03
Speaker 3: but he's always in the best way. So I appreciate you, Steve. Yeah,
8:08
Speaker 3: I appreciate that. It'll be a lot of fun and
8:10
Speaker 3: we'll have a good time.
8:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, keep them coming eight seven seven nine three, even
8:15
Speaker 1: if you're gonna throw some strays.
8:17
Speaker 2: We love we love it.
8:19
Speaker 3: The comments as well, coming in on YouTube, the video
8:22
Speaker 3: stream as well, Drew. As you know, uh, Troy chiming in,
8:26
Speaker 3: maybe this is a hot take. If we can get
8:28
Speaker 3: trade sal and get in the World Series, I'll appreciate
8:31
Speaker 3: him even more. Well, yeah, of course, you know, of
8:34
Speaker 3: course we all want to win the World Series. But
8:37
Speaker 3: but you can't guarantee those things on moves, so that
8:40
Speaker 3: becomes sort of unproductive when it's like, well, if this
8:43
Speaker 3: guy means a World Series, yes, we'll all be.
8:45
Speaker 2: Happy about that.
8:47
Speaker 3: I mean, anyone in the world would trade sal right
8:49
Speaker 3: now if you could get a ticket to a World
8:51
Speaker 3: Series victory given to you.
8:52
Speaker 2: Sure, but that's not the way the world war that
8:55
Speaker 2: way sports works.
8:56
Speaker 3: Can you put yourself in position the Brewers are gonna
8:58
Speaker 3: try interesting.
9:00
Speaker 1: Like there's no drums beating from inside the clubhouse. Brewers
9:02
Speaker 1: are laser focused. Murph's got this win today, and Murph
9:05
Speaker 1: kind of tamped down expectations that didn't like last weeks.
9:08
Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna get any of those guys,
9:09
Speaker 1: but we're happy with what we got.
9:10
Speaker 3: I think he approaches it is like, and he wants
9:13
Speaker 3: his players to approach it in the manner of which
9:15
Speaker 3: you can't assume we're gonna get guys and you don't.
9:16
Speaker 2: I don't want you to think in that way. Let
9:19
Speaker 2: you sag if the help doesn't, but you have to
9:21
Speaker 2: win with the guys in the clubhouse, Like yeah, I
9:24
Speaker 2: was just.
9:25
Speaker 1: Gonna say Bryce Harper after they lost their fourth in
9:27
Speaker 1: a row. Uh, since you know, they're fourth straight series
9:31
Speaker 1: since the break, they've lost. That's not good the Phillies.
9:36
Speaker 1: And he was asked about the trade deadline, and he said,
9:38
Speaker 1: I think we need some help. And they lost to
9:41
Speaker 1: the Marlins, who were previously horrible. So the Phillies have
9:44
Speaker 1: lost eight out of eleven since the break. They've lost
9:46
Speaker 1: all four series. They've scored one runner fewer in six
9:49
Speaker 1: of eleven games. And I appreciate Bryce Harper's honesty, but
9:55
Speaker 1: I think we need some help. So they're looking outwardly
9:58
Speaker 1: and if they don't get help, they imagine the deflation there.
10:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, other quotes. I think we proved pretty much all year.
10:04
Speaker 3: We've done a pretty good job. But anytime you can
10:05
Speaker 3: get some help in here and reinforcements, I think it helps. Well,
10:08
Speaker 3: that's of course true. There's nothing controversial about that, No,
10:11
Speaker 3: he said a bat. Or asked if that help would
10:14
Speaker 3: be best coming in form of an arm or a bat,
10:17
Speaker 3: Harper sent, I think both. I think obviously everybody knows
10:20
Speaker 3: what we need. I've said over the last couple of
10:22
Speaker 3: days we need both. But isn't that true of a
10:24
Speaker 3: lot of teams. I mean that's true everybody, I mean
10:26
Speaker 3: all he's saying, is we want more help, and that's true,
10:29
Speaker 3: but I think the team's hoping for that. You're not
10:32
Speaker 3: gonna see a lot of help available during this trade deadline.
10:36
Speaker 3: And I don't think it's the same way it was
10:38
Speaker 3: ten twenty years ago Drew, where there were teams all
10:41
Speaker 3: over the place in this arms race during the deadline
10:44
Speaker 3: to get people, and the lot would be made of
10:47
Speaker 3: the clubhouses that didn't get anybody and they didn't get
10:49
Speaker 3: the emotional lift.
10:51
Speaker 2: You know.
10:51
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's the case as much, but yeah,
10:53
Speaker 3: I mean, Price Harper pretty much just set it out honestly,
10:57
Speaker 3: but said it out there like we need help, you know.
11:00
Speaker 2: And then they haven't scored up runs. Yes they haven't, absolutely,
11:03
Speaker 2: but they're trying to chase the Braves down.
11:04
Speaker 1: You know, Brewers need help too, just saying but again, Brewers,
11:11
Speaker 1: what a position they're in, tied for the best record
11:14
Speaker 1: in baseball, brimming with assets in the minor leagues, basically
11:19
Speaker 1: can write their own ticket of what they want to do.
11:21
Speaker 1: If they want to go for the big fish, they can.
11:22
Speaker 1: If they want to shoot smaller, they can and preserve
11:26
Speaker 1: the you know, the farm system. But at a certain
11:29
Speaker 1: point the farm system, like some of the guys are
11:31
Speaker 1: already here. Again, there's only a couple guys may day,
11:34
Speaker 1: maybe a couple guys that you consider untouchable, Like on
11:36
Speaker 1: the big league roster, Freelick I think is tradeable. I
11:40
Speaker 1: don't know that I would trade Garrett Mitchell, but he's
11:42
Speaker 1: potentially tradable because of what they've got. Like if you
11:45
Speaker 1: love South Freelick, put him in right and put Laura
11:48
Speaker 1: on center or vice versa. Sure can live with it.
11:51
Speaker 1: They have so many options.
11:52
Speaker 3: So many options. It's right, which box do you take?
11:57
Speaker 3: Or do you say, all right, we're just gonna keep
11:58
Speaker 3: going with the guys we've got. You know you could
12:00
Speaker 3: try that too, that's another option. Yeah, I mean it's
12:04
Speaker 3: it's pretty interesting.
12:05
Speaker 4: You know.
12:05
Speaker 3: It's funny when I always I don't know about your
12:07
Speaker 3: were Like if I was a GM or a personnel
12:10
Speaker 3: guy and I put a team together that I thought
12:11
Speaker 3: should be good, and you're oning to performing and you say, well,
12:13
Speaker 3: we need help, wouldn't the GM say the same thing
12:16
Speaker 3: back to the players, like, well you need to be
12:18
Speaker 3: better exactly?
12:19
Speaker 2: Help from you? Yes? Why aren't you winning more? Why
12:21
Speaker 2: is it?
12:22
Speaker 3: Why is it me to add more supposed to be good.
12:24
Speaker 3: Like I'm sure that's what David and Brocel is thek
12:27
Speaker 3: in Philly? Yeah, why are you fifty seven and fifty
12:29
Speaker 3: one when I have you on the lineup? Uh So,
12:32
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's you know, some teams are aggressive.
12:35
Speaker 3: They always want to add you know, Dodgers are a
12:37
Speaker 3: great example. There's equipped as anybody to keep doing it,
12:40
Speaker 3: to keep loading their gun up like they can do it.
12:43
Speaker 3: You know, the Phillies can do it, the Brewers can
12:45
Speaker 3: do it. But as you know, once you get into
12:47
Speaker 3: the nitty gritty, once the playoffs started, it's about who's
12:49
Speaker 3: playing well that day. So you just try and load
12:52
Speaker 3: up as much as you can, I suppose, and push
12:54
Speaker 3: the margin in your favor to get the right to
12:56
Speaker 3: get the best guys in the field and hope it
12:58
Speaker 3: goes your way. But the right now, Philly is six
13:02
Speaker 3: teams back of the first place Braves and holding tenuously
13:06
Speaker 3: to a wild card spot. But those things will be
13:08
Speaker 3: changing in the next couple months. It should be eating
13:11
Speaker 3: up yep.
13:12
Speaker 1: Hot take hump Day eight seven seven seven nine three
13:15
Speaker 1: hot take. In the least surprising story in sports yesterday,
13:21
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders announced that Kirk Cousins is their
13:23
Speaker 1: starting quarterback.
13:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, not too surprising.
13:26
Speaker 1: Bernanda Mendoz is gonna get slow walked. It'll be a
13:28
Speaker 1: not quite a Aaron Rodgers Jordan Love situation where you
13:33
Speaker 1: serve an apprenticeship and hold the clipboard for a couple
13:35
Speaker 1: of years, more like a couple of games. But Bernando
13:40
Speaker 1: Mendoza starts the season watching Kirk Cousins and they're gonna
13:44
Speaker 1: bring him along and he'll work with the second units
13:46
Speaker 1: in the third units.
13:47
Speaker 2: Along with Aidan O'Connell.
13:49
Speaker 1: And this is like predetermined because Clint Kubiak, who's worked
13:55
Speaker 1: with Cousins before, made the call, made the announcement, and
13:59
Speaker 1: they bring him along and he's the first. I think
14:01
Speaker 1: the snap's a run of like six straight.
14:05
Speaker 4: Uh.
14:05
Speaker 1: Number one overall quarterbacks started right away week one, and
14:10
Speaker 1: he will not. The last guy to not start Week
14:12
Speaker 1: one was Baker Mayfield about that?
14:14
Speaker 2: I do I remember when that was also.
14:17
Speaker 1: But Baker Mayfield started thirteen games as a rookie, so
14:20
Speaker 1: but he didn't start Week one.
14:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it was Carson Palmer when he was
14:24
Speaker 3: along going way back when he was drafted and they
14:26
Speaker 3: decided we're gonna sit John Kittna. We're gonna sit him
14:29
Speaker 3: behind John Kittna for a year and then obviously Rogers
14:32
Speaker 3: in love.
14:32
Speaker 2: But that's it. You know, it's pretty interesting, you know,
14:34
Speaker 2: I think I don't.
14:35
Speaker 3: Think it's a bad way to do it. He's probably
14:37
Speaker 3: the most ideal mentor.
14:39
Speaker 2: I think so too.
14:39
Speaker 1: And this is and remember one of the guys that's
14:43
Speaker 1: orchestrating this is uh Tom Brady. Tom Brady help who's
14:47
Speaker 1: running that thing and making some of these has input
14:50
Speaker 1: on some of these decisions. Now, with that said, again,
14:54
Speaker 1: like I don't know, Francis Comndoza might take over at
14:56
Speaker 1: some point, or Kirk Cousins could hold the job all year.
14:58
Speaker 2: I don't know how to play.
14:59
Speaker 1: It depends on how kirk Cousins is, how healthy is
15:01
Speaker 1: how effective he is, and what Mendoza looks like and
15:04
Speaker 1: how quick quickly he adapts to the pro game.
15:07
Speaker 2: Maybe he'll surprise and be good. Maybe they'll want to.
15:09
Speaker 1: You know, and maybe they'll accelerate the curve, or they'll
15:11
Speaker 1: be so bad that they need or and who knows,
15:13
Speaker 1: your cousins could get hurt. Conversely, another former one number
15:17
Speaker 1: one overall pick at quarterback, Kyler Murray, gonna be splitting
15:21
Speaker 1: time with JJ McCarthy. That looks like kind of a competition.
15:24
Speaker 1: They're both gonna work with the ones, they're both gonna
15:26
Speaker 1: work with the twos. That's more of an open derby.
15:28
Speaker 1: Although most people expect Kyler Murray to.
15:30
Speaker 2: Be the starter, I think so. I think he's better.
15:32
Speaker 1: But but they're making it look like an opening.
15:34
Speaker 3: They want to They're doing everything they can to give
15:37
Speaker 3: to give JJ every shot to be the starter, which
15:42
Speaker 3: is funny. It's it seems to be clear and obvious
15:44
Speaker 3: that they're so pot committed that they're trying everything they can.
15:47
Speaker 3: You know, sometimes you think that doesn't happen, but and
15:49
Speaker 3: Billy's talked about it too. It's like when a guy's drafted,
15:51
Speaker 3: do you give them that cret Like they will try
15:53
Speaker 3: everything to make JJ McCarthy work to make it a
15:57
Speaker 3: thing like fetch isn't gonna happen.
15:59
Speaker 2: I don't think it is.
15:59
Speaker 3: But like Kyler Murray to me is more obviously a
16:02
Speaker 3: good player. But it seems like they really want to
16:04
Speaker 3: make it a competition, and they've kind of.
16:06
Speaker 2: Fostered that rivalry.
16:07
Speaker 3: Remember that little line about how they're sitting both sides
16:10
Speaker 3: of the room. Jaj McCarthy said that in an awkward way,
16:12
Speaker 3: so it'll be interesting to see. I think it's gonna
16:15
Speaker 3: be Kyler Murray to start. I mean, it seems like
16:18
Speaker 3: he's a better player, but we'll see. That's a guy
16:21
Speaker 3: that could have an interesting year if things go right
16:23
Speaker 3: for him, if he stays healthy in the indoors and
16:25
Speaker 3: the turf, this might be an ideal environment for Kyler
16:28
Speaker 3: Murray with a talent around him. I wouldn't be surprised
16:30
Speaker 3: if he surprised some people and played well. I'm not
16:32
Speaker 3: cheering for it, trust me, you know that, but I
16:34
Speaker 3: don't want that Pea Chang five eight four five. I
16:38
Speaker 3: don't know if it's a hot take, but it's a take.
16:40
Speaker 2: He said.
16:40
Speaker 3: Mason Miller is the only piece out at If not,
16:42
Speaker 3: then nobody. He's saying he doesn't want anybody else if
16:45
Speaker 3: it's not Mason Miller.
16:47
Speaker 2: He also added, this.
16:48
Speaker 3: Is on the YouTube comments. You could get a stud
16:50
Speaker 3: closer for three more years. That's thinking of the future,
16:53
Speaker 3: and I would add also the present.
16:55
Speaker 2: So that's an interesting point. Dustin.
16:57
Speaker 3: If the Brewers can add any starter that can pitch
16:59
Speaker 3: two games in a series, hire the numbers and bat
17:03
Speaker 3: or bat Hire the number six in the order, then I'll.
17:05
Speaker 2: Be over the moon.
17:06
Speaker 3: Oh okay, I mean you want them to play and pitch,
17:09
Speaker 3: but you if you really want to get a difference maker,
17:12
Speaker 3: it's not just how they do it, it's how well
17:14
Speaker 3: they do it right.
17:15
Speaker 1: I thought it was funny, like with the CJ. Abrams
17:18
Speaker 1: being mentioned, like Andrew Fisher looks like he could be
17:20
Speaker 1: the third baseman next year. Yeah, you know it could
17:23
Speaker 1: be like that. Look at that infield. My goodness, where's.
17:25
Speaker 3: A unique position this year where their team in the
17:27
Speaker 3: field was very good and the guys they had coming
17:30
Speaker 3: up were as as exciting as anything else.
17:32
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, if my day's ready and trade Terraang
17:36
Speaker 1: in the winter and think what he could get, because
17:38
Speaker 1: there's a lot of teams that would love him absolutely.
17:41
Speaker 2: Keep reloading.
17:42
Speaker 1: Something else is keep reloading. This one comes from JB
17:47
Speaker 1: in Saint Francis South. Freelick's debut game, when he went
17:51
Speaker 1: three for three with two RBI made him an instant
17:53
Speaker 1: fan favorite. Well, he's a good looking kid. He you know,
17:56
Speaker 1: works in the community. He had a big fundraiser on
17:59
Speaker 1: an off day at for Best Buddies down in the
18:01
Speaker 1: Deer District. So I mean a lot of reasons. The
18:05
Speaker 1: guy's a fan favorite, Murph kind of helped build him up,
18:08
Speaker 1: and there's a lot to like about it. And I'm
18:10
Speaker 1: not slagging on Sal Freelich, but I do look at
18:12
Speaker 1: the team and say, if someone wants a major league
18:14
Speaker 1: player back, a goal glove winner, he's an attractive piece.
18:19
Speaker 1: It's not that you know again, it's not you're trying
18:21
Speaker 1: to get rid of him, no, but it's you're trying
18:24
Speaker 1: to add to the team, and he's a piece that
18:25
Speaker 1: you can get.
18:26
Speaker 2: He has value. Understanding the process. Yeah, what has value?
18:30
Speaker 2: All right?
18:31
Speaker 1: Understand the process. That's what Lebron said when he joined
18:33
Speaker 1: the Sixers. Keep your hot takes coming eight seven, seven, seven,
18:37
Speaker 1: nine four one ninety seven to three when we come back.
18:40
Speaker 1: One of our favorites going to join the party. Matt
18:42
Speaker 1: Miller a man about film. I put it out there
18:46
Speaker 1: talking about The Odyssey. I want to go see that movie.
18:49
Speaker 1: Matt Miller seeing it. I'm going to talk to him
18:51
Speaker 1: about that and the Yuker Doc, which is I highly
18:54
Speaker 1: recommend people see.
18:55
Speaker 2: Go see the Yuker Doc. It's uh.
18:58
Speaker 1: Aaron Nagler saw it last night. Apparently Billy did not
19:01
Speaker 1: see it yesterday, but he's going to. I highly recommend
19:04
Speaker 1: that folks see it while it's in theaters. And I
19:06
Speaker 1: helped push this movie along. It'll be on streaming services eventually,
19:09
Speaker 1: but it's worth seeing. You're not gonna walk away disappointed,
19:13
Speaker 1: I will say that. Matt Miller joins us. Next, you're
19:16
Speaker 1: in the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Matt Miller, who
19:19
Speaker 1: joins us, what's happened.
19:20
Speaker 2: In Big Poppy?
19:21
Speaker 4: Howdy friends?
19:24
Speaker 2: All right, how's it going? Sounds good?
19:26
Speaker 4: Not too not too shabby, not too shabby. The parents
19:29
Speaker 4: are watching the little little kiddo right now. So far,
19:33
Speaker 4: so good, and that means Met gets to give his
19:36
Speaker 4: arms a rest from holding him.
19:38
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I was interested in the backdrop. I didn't
19:41
Speaker 3: know what kind of like geno legacy backdrop we're going
19:44
Speaker 3: to get of all the mini helmets and stuff like that.
19:46
Speaker 2: I do love that.
19:47
Speaker 4: So yeah, there was a brief moment where I really
19:50
Speaker 4: wanted to collect every single NCAA football mini helmet, which
19:55
Speaker 4: got killed by basically the Oregon Ducks because then every
19:58
Speaker 4: team was like done. Every team after Oregon was like
20:01
Speaker 4: every week, we have a new helmet every team was like, well,
20:04
Speaker 4: we got to have a new helmet. So then it
20:06
Speaker 4: kind of gets impossible when Rutgers has five alternate looks,
20:09
Speaker 4: and you know, so it's true. So so we got
20:13
Speaker 4: some remainders up here, a whole bunch of schools that
20:15
Speaker 4: most people probably do not care about, but had cool
20:18
Speaker 4: helmets at one point.
20:20
Speaker 1: So yeah, remember how your parents used to be excited
20:22
Speaker 1: when you visited, and now they just want to see
20:24
Speaker 1: the kid. That's they just want to see the baby,
20:26
Speaker 1: and you can.
20:27
Speaker 4: Garbage right now. I show up at my parents' house
20:30
Speaker 4: and they're like, give us the baby, and I'm like,
20:31
Speaker 4: I'm doing okay, and then it's like that's nice, that's
20:33
Speaker 4: nice to give us the baby.
20:34
Speaker 2: I want to see the baby, the little man.
20:36
Speaker 4: I am absolutely useless now all right.
20:38
Speaker 1: Matt, I've been dying to talk to you about The
20:40
Speaker 1: Odyssey because we've not spoken about this blockbuster yet. It's
20:43
Speaker 1: set in all kinds of records. It's Matt Damon's biggest
20:47
Speaker 1: uh starring role. Box office box office has been incredible,
20:50
Speaker 1: and I'm just wondering, does it fall off the map
20:53
Speaker 1: when the Spider Man movie hits because everybodys saying Spider
20:56
Speaker 1: Man Brand New Day is pretty good and is going
20:58
Speaker 1: to at least cut into the box office. But with
21:02
Speaker 1: that said, with these two movies battling it out at
21:04
Speaker 1: the same time, Hollywood loves a comeback story. How about
21:08
Speaker 1: Hollywood's comeback The movies are fat It's.
21:11
Speaker 4: So nice to be excited about the box office again
21:14
Speaker 4: and to feel and this is before you know, the
21:16
Speaker 4: Odyssey and Spider Man were making a bunch of money.
21:19
Speaker 4: Even before all this, it really felt like, you know,
21:21
Speaker 4: back room's an obsession. And even stuff like Devilwar's Prada
21:24
Speaker 4: too and send help like these Hoppers, an original animated
21:29
Speaker 4: movie making money. These are all really positive signs that,
21:32
Speaker 4: you know, a bunch of stuff can flourish at the
21:34
Speaker 4: box office, not just superhero movies, not just sequels. But
21:38
Speaker 4: that being said, listen, Spider Man is is Recession proof,
21:42
Speaker 4: is pandemic proof is whatever proof is, fatigue proof. Spider
21:47
Speaker 4: Man always makes a ton of money, and it looks
21:49
Speaker 4: like it's gonna have just an insane opening weekend. I've
21:52
Speaker 4: seen the word eight hundred million dollars worldwide opening weekend.
21:55
Speaker 4: That's that's James Cameron money. That's that's an insane opening,
22:00
Speaker 4: and it's weird to think that. You know, it's been
22:02
Speaker 4: five years since the last Spider Man movie, which is
22:05
Speaker 4: the longest gap there's been in a Spider Man movie.
22:08
Speaker 4: That is weirdly a long period of time to wait
22:12
Speaker 4: for a new Spider Man in this day and age.
22:15
Speaker 4: So people are going to show up for it. I
22:16
Speaker 4: do think the Odyssey is still going to make a
22:18
Speaker 4: good chunk of change this weekend. It's kind of a
22:21
Speaker 4: different audience still, there's a lot of un diagram overlap,
22:23
Speaker 4: but there's a little bit more. I think older audiences
22:27
Speaker 4: are probably a little bit more interested in the Odyssey
22:29
Speaker 4: than Spider Man. And plus, the Odyssey still has those
22:32
Speaker 4: IMAX screens in a lot of cases, and that is
22:35
Speaker 4: where you get the big ticket costs and stuff like that.
22:38
Speaker 4: That's where you get the big money. So I think
22:40
Speaker 4: we're still looking at a pretty awesome weekend for the
22:42
Speaker 4: Odyssey and a really great weekend for Spider Man, and
22:45
Speaker 4: a really good weekend for theaters and hopefully moviegoers. I've
22:48
Speaker 4: heard good things about Spider Man, hoping it's good. I
22:51
Speaker 4: am a big fan of the Odyssey, so it's a
22:54
Speaker 4: good time out there for those two movies at least.
22:57
Speaker 1: Is the Uh okay, so the Odyssey the only IMAX
23:02
Speaker 1: theater I think in our area? Correct me if I'm wrong.
23:03
Speaker 1: It's like the Mayfair one. Is that the only one?
23:05
Speaker 4: Yeah? And that one's like a Limax, Like I'm pretty sure.
23:08
Speaker 4: The only reason it's technically an Imax is the audio quality.
23:13
Speaker 4: Audio is Imax quality, and the screen is larger, but
23:16
Speaker 4: it is by no means a traditional, a true Imax.
23:20
Speaker 1: And then you have to go to Illinois to see
23:21
Speaker 1: this aux.
23:23
Speaker 3: Okay, but I'm confused. Don't we have an IMAX at
23:25
Speaker 3: the museum or am Mike goeling crazy? Like?
23:27
Speaker 2: Is it?
23:27
Speaker 4: That's a Yeah, that's like a funky imax, those bubble
23:31
Speaker 4: screen kind of things that that can't if I recall,
23:34
Speaker 4: those can't play kind of theatrical movies, which is why
23:37
Speaker 4: that one kind of kind of went the way of
23:40
Speaker 4: the Dodo and in a lot of cases.
23:43
Speaker 2: But the one in Illinois right just over the state line.
23:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, and a lot of the stuff gets really confused,
23:48
Speaker 4: Like listen, I'm a massive movie nerd, and it gets
23:51
Speaker 4: hard for me to keep up with. Okay, is that
23:52
Speaker 4: an IMAX screen? Okay? Well, is it a seventy milimeter
23:55
Speaker 4: Imax screen.
23:56
Speaker 2: Okay, is it?
23:57
Speaker 4: Is it a true? All this stuff gets very convoluted.
24:00
Speaker 4: I understand why some audiences might get exhausted by it.
24:03
Speaker 4: But the good news is the Odyssey is good enough
24:05
Speaker 4: that if you see it on a big screen, if
24:07
Speaker 4: you see it on the biggest screen, it's still a
24:09
Speaker 4: really great movie. This still really well done.
24:11
Speaker 3: I thought I was gonna say, this isn't like when
24:12
Speaker 3: I was a kid and there was a three D
24:14
Speaker 3: movie or show and you had to have the glasses
24:16
Speaker 3: on it or look all blurry like you.
24:18
Speaker 5: Know, yeah, And it's not like Avatar, where like I
24:22
Speaker 5: really enjoy the Avatar movies, but I know that those things,
24:25
Speaker 5: like if I'm watching that thing at home, that thing
24:28
Speaker 5: does not play the same way those movies are.
24:30
Speaker 4: Are those movies are pretty necessary to watch on a
24:33
Speaker 4: giant screen. I think the Odyssey it is huge, It
24:36
Speaker 4: is epic. It is really great to watch with a
24:38
Speaker 4: big screen and a big sound. I don't think you need.
24:41
Speaker 4: This isn't like an imax or bust situation in a
24:44
Speaker 4: lot of cases.
24:45
Speaker 3: Is this gonna be impossible one day to come up
24:47
Speaker 3: with like Matt Damon's Greatest magnum Opus like because like,
24:51
Speaker 3: Matt Damon's been in so many good ones. Now it's
24:53
Speaker 3: gonna be like when they show the top twenty Jordan
24:55
Speaker 3: dunks and no one's yeah to agree and everyone's gonna
24:58
Speaker 3: argue one day, like no oh, this was the greatest player,
25:02
Speaker 3: this was the goat, this was the goat, and it's like,
25:03
Speaker 3: well it's it's Kareem, and will like stop arguing about it,
25:07
Speaker 3: Like you know, yeah, if I if I had to
25:09
Speaker 3: compare Matt Damon to an NBA, i'd probably call him
25:11
Speaker 3: like a John Stockton.
25:13
Speaker 4: Like he's just he's not flashy, and he just does
25:17
Speaker 4: a great job of serving the team, of serving the movie.
25:20
Speaker 4: And I think that's why, you know, Matt Damon doesn't
25:23
Speaker 4: have that many Oscar nominations. He's never won obviously, other
25:28
Speaker 4: than I believe he got a screenplay win for Goodwill
25:30
Speaker 4: Hunting back in the day. But when it comes to acting,
25:34
Speaker 4: he always just really gives a movie what it needs.
25:37
Speaker 4: And I think The Odyssey, like, I think this could
25:40
Speaker 4: be the year for him. Obviously we have a long
25:42
Speaker 4: way to go for Oscar time, but you know, it's
25:44
Speaker 4: a big successful movie. He is the heart of the movie.
25:47
Speaker 4: It's a it's a challenging role with a lot of
25:49
Speaker 4: depth to it, but also it is a movie star
25:52
Speaker 4: role that's very satisfying for the audience. I could see
25:56
Speaker 4: unless something really big is on the horizon. And obviously,
25:59
Speaker 4: like I said, we got half a year ago. Still,
26:02
Speaker 4: but this this feels like a good time to be
26:04
Speaker 4: like Matt Damon, it's your time. Let's give you your
26:07
Speaker 4: Ben Affleck got his trophies, Let's give Matt Damon his flowers.
26:11
Speaker 1: I see Matt Damon as this generation's gene Hackman is
26:15
Speaker 1: my logic flow because I think that's one of his heroes.
26:18
Speaker 4: I think that's fair. I've heard some people say he
26:21
Speaker 4: is the next Tom Hanks in terms of like Matt
26:24
Speaker 4: Damon could move into like America's dad mode, where you know,
26:27
Speaker 4: he takes on roles that you know, he's done the
26:30
Speaker 4: action stuff, but he can do you know, comedy, but
26:34
Speaker 4: he can do drama. He can kind of do everything,
26:37
Speaker 4: and everyone kind of generally likes him and he brings
26:40
Speaker 4: a kind of like every man quality to the screen
26:43
Speaker 4: every time, even when you're playing Odysseus, the man who
26:46
Speaker 4: literally whose name created the word odyssey.
26:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, I was gonna say, there aren't many
26:51
Speaker 3: people that like most everyday Americans, I will say, feel
26:56
Speaker 3: this loss of touch with Hollywood actors and things. Matt
26:58
Speaker 3: Damon seems to be the one guy people have somewhat on.
27:01
Speaker 2: Every man relate. Like, yeah, he's not Keanu Reeves riding
27:04
Speaker 2: the subway. I get it.
27:05
Speaker 3: But like it seems to be people still have a
27:08
Speaker 3: respect for mad Damon. Don't look at him as some
27:10
Speaker 3: you know, like wild, like untouchable Hollywood acolyte, like you
27:15
Speaker 3: know what I mean.
27:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, he even when he did action movies, he was
27:19
Speaker 4: doing Jason Bourde movies, AKA like kind of the most real,
27:22
Speaker 4: Like it's he's just a guy in a hoodie, right,
27:25
Speaker 4: Like he's not James Bond. He's he's just kind of
27:28
Speaker 4: a guy running around from place to pace, fighting for
27:31
Speaker 4: his life. So, and I'm a big fan of it.
27:35
Speaker 4: I do think The Odyssey's gonna you're gonna be hearing
27:38
Speaker 4: its name come Oscar night. You're gonna be seeing it
27:41
Speaker 4: on screen for a long time here. So I'm glad
27:44
Speaker 4: to see it's do it. This was Christopher Nolan's Blank
27:47
Speaker 4: Check movie. I have not seen a guy cash more
27:50
Speaker 4: blank checks than Christopher Nolan. He cashed in a blank
27:52
Speaker 4: check with Inception, cash in a blank check with Oppenheimer,
27:56
Speaker 4: cashed in a blank check. Now with the Odyssey, I
27:58
Speaker 4: don't know what he does next, Like, how do you
28:01
Speaker 4: go bigger than the Odyssey?
28:03
Speaker 1: Oppenheimer was the slow burn though, because I saw something
28:05
Speaker 1: that it took Oppenheimer like two years to generate the
28:08
Speaker 1: box office that we've already gotten with Odyssey.
28:11
Speaker 4: Well, let's remind ourselves Oppenheimer is a three hour long
28:14
Speaker 4: black and white movie about the creation of the nuclear
28:18
Speaker 4: Like the fact that the Oppenheimer almost made a billion
28:22
Speaker 4: dollars is insane. And that's the kind of tool that
28:26
Speaker 4: Christopher Nolan as he is. He is Hollywood's biggest movie
28:29
Speaker 4: star right now.
28:30
Speaker 3: Well, I did say the most impressive thing about Odyssey
28:32
Speaker 3: is people are gonna go out of their way to
28:34
Speaker 3: a theater, which is rare these days, unfortunately more rare,
28:37
Speaker 3: I should say, I don't want to disrespect, but they're
28:39
Speaker 3: gonna pay money to go out of their way to
28:41
Speaker 3: hear the same lecture they heard in like middle school,
28:44
Speaker 3: like history class, Greek mythology.
28:46
Speaker 2: Like you know, oh man, what's is glass gonna end?
28:48
Speaker 2: And it's like.
28:49
Speaker 4: Slightly more fun, slightly more fun on the big screen
28:52
Speaker 4: with a big budget, slightly more enjoyable. No offense to Homer,
28:57
Speaker 4: but I did enjoy this erson a little bit more.
29:00
Speaker 4: Reading the six hundred page one in my high school sophomore.
29:03
Speaker 3: I couldn't hit more than a time Ted Danson was
29:05
Speaker 3: in Gulliver's Travels when that made for TV movie in
29:07
Speaker 3: the nineties.
29:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, the same thing.
29:09
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's a poll right there. I will say
29:12
Speaker 4: we've talked about the big movies right now. You can
29:13
Speaker 4: still see yuk in theaters this weekend, which is nice
29:16
Speaker 4: to see. Yeah, happy to see that Uke is still around.
29:19
Speaker 2: I saw it.
29:20
Speaker 1: Well, it's tremendous. I saw it last week and it's
29:24
Speaker 1: it's fantastic.
29:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it doesn't really work out.
29:29
Speaker 2: Yeah.
29:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, again, like with Spider Man in the Odyssey, both
29:33
Speaker 4: in theaters right now, if you were a small movie
29:36
Speaker 4: or a slightly underperforming movie, you were gone from theaters
29:39
Speaker 4: this week, and there's pretty much it's it's basically those
29:42
Speaker 4: But glad to see there's still some.
29:44
Speaker 2: Rooms for you. Yeah, definitely. And Matt. One of the
29:46
Speaker 2: things about the Yuke movie.
29:47
Speaker 1: I heard uh at the Ballpark the other day and
29:50
Speaker 1: interviews with the producers and directors. It's a ninety minute
29:53
Speaker 1: film and it's tight because they had to do that
29:56
Speaker 1: for when it's eventually streaming, Like I guess that was
29:59
Speaker 1: with the rec commendation, and I guess the original cut,
30:02
Speaker 1: the first cut was six hours, and because I'm watching anything,
30:05
Speaker 1: how could they leave that out? And then I'm thinking,
30:06
Speaker 1: oh my god, the agonizing decisions of funny stuff and
30:09
Speaker 1: awesome stuff that they left out. I mean, there should
30:12
Speaker 1: be a director's cut. I'd watched the six hour version.
30:15
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah. I mean that's part of the reason
30:17
Speaker 4: why you have more streaming doc series versus just streaming
30:21
Speaker 4: documentaries right now is because these streaming services, they their
30:25
Speaker 4: metrics are based on hours watched right minutes watched. So
30:29
Speaker 4: if you have like six hours of documentary and you're
30:32
Speaker 4: feeling precious about your cut, a streaming service will be like, oh, yeah, no,
30:36
Speaker 4: that's fine, great, make it, make it six episodes, whereas
30:40
Speaker 4: you know, yeah, go ahead.
30:42
Speaker 3: No, I just thought that would be the eventual like
30:45
Speaker 3: like path for a documentary like this is where they'll
30:47
Speaker 3: say the entire uncut version might be available as a
30:51
Speaker 3: streaming thing. Like and then it'll become like this, well
30:54
Speaker 3: hopefully like this, this is you know, treasure trove of
30:57
Speaker 3: new content after you've watched the theater version, or like, hey,
31:01
Speaker 3: we're going to make this into the Last Dance type
31:03
Speaker 3: thing where it's a ten episode deal, like where people
31:06
Speaker 3: just want to constantly consume the factory of content that's
31:10
Speaker 3: upon them.
31:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, i'd like to think with something fairly hyper local
31:14
Speaker 4: like this, And I mean it's not wholly hyper local.
31:17
Speaker 4: You know, there's a whole world of baseball lovers beyond
31:19
Speaker 4: Milwaukee who love Bob Buker. But you would like to
31:22
Speaker 4: think that for something like this, there would be a
31:24
Speaker 4: home for a bunch of extra footage and stuff like
31:26
Speaker 4: that and special features. Back in the days of DVD
31:30
Speaker 4: and Blu ray, we would have gotten that six hour
31:32
Speaker 4: cut as a special feature on a DVD and Blue Ray.
31:35
Speaker 4: One of the great unspoken of losses of the streaming
31:38
Speaker 4: era is the fact that we don't have, you know,
31:41
Speaker 4: special features anymore. We don't have the awesome behind the
31:44
Speaker 4: scenes stuff unless they loaded up to YouTube. But you know,
31:48
Speaker 4: then you're kind of giving away great stuff for free there.
31:50
Speaker 3: So were you one of the nerds like me that
31:53
Speaker 3: liked the commentary tracks. Now DVDs were giving out. I
31:56
Speaker 3: love those things, man, those were something I.
32:00
Speaker 4: Do, like the commentary tracks. I was just the weirdo
32:02
Speaker 4: who like watched all the trailers that were on, Like
32:04
Speaker 4: I just always wanted to see, like how they marketed
32:06
Speaker 4: the movie right, and then I'd like watch all like
32:09
Speaker 4: the behind the scenes stuff. I am. I will say,
32:11
Speaker 4: I am one of those people who's like, don't tell
32:13
Speaker 4: me how you did the magic trick. Like I like
32:16
Speaker 4: the behind the scenes stuff in a lot of cases
32:19
Speaker 4: in theory, and I'm glad it's out there so people
32:21
Speaker 4: can watch it and people can learn from these great movies.
32:24
Speaker 4: I personally am like, I don't want to know how
32:26
Speaker 4: Christopher Nolan did all this stuff in the Odyssey. I want, like,
32:29
Speaker 4: I think it's cool trivia, but I want to be
32:32
Speaker 4: in the magic man. I want to believe the Cyclops
32:34
Speaker 4: is really a whole, whole freaking Cyclops.
32:37
Speaker 3: There was a time when like the making of Features
32:40
Speaker 3: and the spotlight on location, you could see the stars
32:43
Speaker 3: eating lunch at craft service was like the best you
32:46
Speaker 3: could get those thirty minute things.
32:47
Speaker 2: On the on the DVDs. It was just great. Oh, yeah, yeh.
32:50
Speaker 4: Or you get I mean the Star Wars movies, the
32:52
Speaker 4: the George lou the prequels, Like you have so much
32:55
Speaker 4: behind the scenes footage of there, and you kind of
32:57
Speaker 4: you can see the movie falling apart. You can see
33:00
Speaker 4: George Lucas and all of the people behind the scenes
33:03
Speaker 4: being like are we liking what's happening? Like you can
33:08
Speaker 4: kind of see the tension. And now in this day
33:10
Speaker 4: and age where all this stuff is very carefully monitored
33:13
Speaker 4: and no one wants to, you know, be on the record,
33:15
Speaker 4: like it's harder to find the famous Ben Affleck Armageddon
33:19
Speaker 4: commentary where he's like, Michael Bey is an idiot. I
33:22
Speaker 4: don't understand why they'd send you know, why wouldn't they train,
33:26
Speaker 4: you know, scientists how to drill rather than drillers how
33:28
Speaker 4: to be scientists, like Ben Affleck, like cinema sensing the
33:33
Speaker 4: movie on the DVD.
33:34
Speaker 3: Commentaries and you, oh, yeah, you won't get that as
33:37
Speaker 3: much anymore because they're gonna try and censor everybody, right.
33:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, they don't. They don't want people insulting their hard
33:43
Speaker 4: work and this is something that people paid money for.
33:45
Speaker 4: You don't really get that as much anymore, which is,
33:47
Speaker 4: which is a shame because again that stuff personality, that stuff, backstory.
33:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good stuff, all right, Matt.
33:53
Speaker 1: Today was hot te compte and this is one that
33:55
Speaker 1: I had in my notes to get to and we didn't.
33:57
Speaker 1: But there was some social media churn, yes, people arguing
34:00
Speaker 1: about whether Culver's cheese curds are overrated in the pantheon
34:06
Speaker 1: of the cheese curd and someone said the one that
34:09
Speaker 1: jumped it out was true. Wisconsin cheese says know that
34:11
Speaker 1: Culver's curds are actually trash.
34:15
Speaker 4: I have to armonize here a little bit where I
34:19
Speaker 4: do think Culver's cheese curds are not the best cheese
34:22
Speaker 4: curds by far, they are not even close. But as
34:26
Speaker 4: far as drive through cheese curds, like in the situation, you.
34:31
Speaker 2: Know that's true.
34:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like, I'm sorry, it's cheese curds from a drive in.
34:38
Speaker 4: Like I can't complain that hard here.
34:40
Speaker 3: For ever being offended by them, like that was an
34:43
Speaker 3: interesting take. I never Then again, maybe I don't get
34:45
Speaker 3: them that often there. I just get the fries and
34:47
Speaker 3: move on.
34:47
Speaker 2: But I don't.
34:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like I'm looking at gift horse in
34:51
Speaker 4: the mouth here on some level, like where else am
34:53
Speaker 4: I getting drive through cheese curds?
34:55
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but yeah, but the ones in the bars
34:57
Speaker 1: that you know, some people say that, yeah, get any
35:00
Speaker 1: bar has cheese curds, they'll be better than covers.
35:03
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, but sure, but it's not.
35:06
Speaker 4: You've also described most pizza, you know, most like pizza plate,
35:10
Speaker 4: like but if I need, you know, pizza on the road,
35:13
Speaker 4: you know, dominoes will do.
35:15
Speaker 1: Everybody's got their kind of favorite go to, spot the
35:18
Speaker 1: horse and plow up and colder, very good.
35:19
Speaker 3: Cheese skirts, a lot of great places, a lot of
35:21
Speaker 3: great cards out there.
35:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but it was it was interesting that that
35:24
Speaker 1: got some social media churn.
35:26
Speaker 4: It's melti bread and cheese. How could it go wrong?
35:29
Speaker 4: You know, like what I there's so much to complain
35:34
Speaker 4: about this world, tasty, melty warm cheese.
35:36
Speaker 2: When you break it down like that, like what are
35:39
Speaker 2: we even doing here?
35:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, the beer from the tab it rain does is
35:41
Speaker 3: better than the one in my basement, and the conversation
35:44
Speaker 3: is too, like of course it is.
35:45
Speaker 2: It's a bar.
35:45
Speaker 3: It's like, it's that's what happens. Like But but you know,
35:49
Speaker 3: sometimes in the situation you take what's.
35:50
Speaker 1: Convenient, that's true, Uh, Matt Miller. Anything else we need
35:54

35:56
Speaker 1: we were talking today about training camp, Pact training camp
35:58
Speaker 1: and it's a great day trip, we talked about sports
36:01
Speaker 1: trips a little bit. You always spring to mind, is
36:03
Speaker 1: there a baseball trip or is a new dad? Is
36:05
Speaker 1: that shelve this year?
36:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we're just doing the local teams this year.

36:11
Speaker 4: do the timber Rattlers in the skycar hopefully. Yeah, the
36:15
Speaker 4: traditional going somewhere baseball trip. Obviously, there's some new priorities

36:26
Speaker 4: new hats, adding to the collections, and checking some more
36:30
Speaker 4: places off the list.

36:35

Speaker 1: been a hot take. We should have had that tradition.
37:09
Speaker 1: But it'll be better when Billy's here, because it's like,
37:11
Speaker 1: you know, cheese curds are like pizza. When they're when
37:15
