• 1:14
  Speaker 3: vacation and highly anticipated listen. Vacation is something we're always
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: excited to be able to do. We're always excited to
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: get out and go. And the tough thing is then
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: when it's when you're actually on vacation. I've struggled with
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: the good old days theory that everybody talks about now,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: and like I wish we could remember that we're in
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: the good old days.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I do that a lot while I'm on vacation.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I already get nostalgic while I'm on the vacation, saying, man,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: just sitting here waiting for it. You talk about it
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: for this long, especially a guy's trip.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: It's so true.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: You have not touched the pulse any better of the
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: way I feel sometimes on trips. Now you know that
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: about me, You know enough about me to know that
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I'm probably always worried about like I'm sitting there relaxing, saying,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: am I enjoying this enough?
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Am I enjoying this enough? Right now?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: But I have been there thinking that, And then of
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: course the last day of vacation comes that you get
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: sad because it's the last day of vacation, like all
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: have to go back to the ground, Like I've been
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: looking forward to this. That's a great point, Billy. The
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: way you put that, verbalize.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: That as amazing. It's so true.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I have been there thinking to myself, I've been waiting
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: to go to Las Vegas on this vacation for two months.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I've been coming down the days, and here I am
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: on the first day. I better be enjoying it enough.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: You spend a lot of time talking about it, especially
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: now we're getting into May.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of golf trips.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I bet, I mean you probably had a lot of
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: golf trips, right, brother in law, I had one spring
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: go and see the boys, and whenever you hang out
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: with the guys, it's one of those times where you.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: This is awesome, this is like.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: And then you have that moment where you come back
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: and you're telling you maybe your wife, your significant other,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: your friends at the bar.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I just pick up right where you left off. You know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you have that time you sit there and talk about it,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: whether it's more. Man, we gotta do this.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: We gotta make sure we do this.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: It's not getting any young has been awesome. We gotta
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: make sure we do this. It's been seven years since
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: we've done this.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: So we used to hang out guys so much and
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: stuff like that.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Because you immediately.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Starts telling some old stories and then in the middle
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: of you know, maybe the seventh or eighth drink of
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: the night, you're sitting around.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Man, we got two more nights of this. Yeah, then
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: that last night, I gotta go home tomorrow.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: So there's that time that it slaps you in the
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: face and it can get a little tough. You want
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: to make sure that you're enjoying it. And you're right,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I've never touched like that on vacation. I've never touched
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: touched the pulse of you like that on vacation before.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: You you have you have a unique you have a
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: unique ability to touch the pulse right there.

  Speaker 2: on a little bit. Your friends are getting older, some
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: guys are you know, Billy's already got You know, it's
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: tougher because the connections start to fray a little bit.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And if you are a guy that really
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: believes in that, you know, the past, the present, the future,

• 4:01
  Speaker 2: real arm and sorry, and you're gonna have to really
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: try and hold onto that the best you can.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: I battled with it, and I have battled with it
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: as like the first of my friends to kind of
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: to have kids, one of the first ones to have kids.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: There's the idea of like, hey man, you got to
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: say yes.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: A certain amount of times so otherwise that invitation stops coming.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Listen, Guys don't like to get rejected.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: May or may not have done it a lot of
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: times in our lives, right, you don't want to go
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: back to that spot. So when one buddy continually goes,
• 4:28

  Speaker 2: I can't stop. I can't keep texting her and she
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: just can't text that.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: So at some point you got to make sure that
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: you're keeping yourself in that game.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: But enjoyable time.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: And it's always fun to be uh, to get some
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: time away and desperately needed and always deserve. So we
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: hang out, We steer the ship, We roll through a
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: game balls and kicks to.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: The balls Monday. Everybody knows this play.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Dave Gasper is sat in the chair, He's he's run
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: this route before, and on a Monday, when you're standing
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: inside that victorious locker room handing out a game ball,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: David sounds like this. Oh, it was a golden tempo
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: for the twenty three to one underdog coming back to
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: be victorious in the Kentucky Derby, the one hundred and
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: fifty second running of the Kentucky Derby.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: One of these times I'm gonna win on this stupid race.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: One of these times I'm gonna actually win on this
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: This weekend was not that day, however, what a day
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: for the first female trainer to run through and I
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: mean Golden Tempo started. They talked about from the outhouse
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: to the penthouse. Started from the bottom, now we're here,
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: started from the absolute back of the pack and.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Ended up crossing the finish line. First's not'st how you start, guy,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: that's how you finished.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: We're all running our own race in life, and the
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Great Golden Temple showed us that on Saturday evening twenty
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: three to one. But Billy, you could have got a longer,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: longer shot in a those outstarted a change as he
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: got closer in the race. But Chery de Voe congratulations,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: first female trainer to ever win the Kentucky Derby in
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty second running and what a run.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: That course had incredible stuff from the back of the
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: pack all the way back. Now, sometimes in a crowded field,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: it's an advantage to have some room to work a
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: little bit. And and the jockey was Louis Ortiz, who's
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: brother Arod Ortiz had Renegade number two horse.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you realize that.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: So that was brothers first and the second, and Renegade
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: was the favorite but was on the but unfortunately drew
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the inside rail, which is an impossible place to win
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: from I'm not impossible, but very very tough.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Came pretty dang close.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Came pretty close. If there's any horse and jockey to
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: do it, they said. It was as you can tell
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Billy I read extensively, and Mark Belling or Kentucky Derby.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Well listen, maybe there you can actually start winning now.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Because I was, like a lot of others, it appeared
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: later into the process. I was, I'm so happy. I
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: was trying to have the Miss Rachel Horse win. I
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: love that because that damn song plays all day long.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I'm so happy today. Yes, some claps jump yeah. All
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: throughout the day that song plays. I'm like, well, holy cow,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: then I can actually play it victoriously. And then as
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: the day can continues to roll on, you know, so happy.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Was sitting right here at about twelve or thirteen to
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: one and jumped up ten to one, eighth to one,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: five to one.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: It's the betic favorite. Well not winning this race.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: I have no chance.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: You're never gonna win. I feel like when you have
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the favorite in the in the field.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Now ultimately came down to like whatever was like third
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: or fourth best odds, But you gotta find somebody right
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: there into the middle into that sweet spot, and I
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: thought that was gonna be the Great White.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Then my man started going and he was bucking all
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: over that place. He bucked that guy right off of it.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: That was wild stuff. He's just like, get the hell
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: off my back right there. I mean that just was
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: an epic epic moment right there. That you mess out
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: with a great White, you don't know what's gonna happen
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: to shockey look pissed. I was like, does he still
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: get paid? I was wondering about that?
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Is that why?
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: So?
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Mad?
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean, because you get paid. Next
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: he's not running in the derby. You know that's probably
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the reason why that could be.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Wait, so you mean that he would be more upset
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: about not being able to ride a horse in the
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Kentucky Derby the actual lace.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: You want to talk about load management? I mean they
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: managed that load right off his back and it was.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Really smart though by great White.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: He's like, I'm gonna get all the excitement, I'm gonna
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: get all the pageant train and then I ain't gonna
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: do any of this.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: But also a credit to that that guy on like
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: the the guide horse whatever, being able to grab the reins.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Right away that I was not about to be messing
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: around with that horse. Yeah, kick to the balls to
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: that jockey. I mean that was my first kick to
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: the balls. But and before we do that, I kick
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: to the balls on the program. When you do inevitably
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: have to painfully have one sounds like this.
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: Than Yeah, we gotta think in the.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: What about a.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Fistfight or a hope fight for that trainer right there.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: That's my tribute to spirit.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that. That's a beautiful, beautiful send off.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Now is it tough when you are like the brother
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: that's on the favorite.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: You're supposed to win, like everyone's like arono Ortiz, and
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: then your own brother passes you to win, like you
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: feel great for him. But then you're like, man, my
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: brother won a derby before me. Like, that's gotta be
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: a weird thing, right, Bill.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: It's gotta be the Jason Travis Kelce super Bowl field
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: right where he goes over in the video he's giving
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: him the hug and.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: He's like, all right, I might give you this hug.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Let me get that out of here.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, because I Am not trying to be here
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: while this confetti is raining down and everybody else is
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: celebrated in front of me. But if anybody who was
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: gonna win, I'm happy that you did. You want it now,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: don't talk to me for a little while. Yeah, don't
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: talk to people. But he did hold his arm a
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: little bit. You can tell he was at before him.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: So that was pretty cool to see that. It also
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: depends on older brother younger brother, dynamico, right, because if
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: it's your younger brother, you can give a little Yeah.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I taught him everything he knows. And don't anybody
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: ever if they had.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: A little plan, because they came back from the pack together.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I want if they had a little plan, like, all right,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I think that's the way we can drive this thing.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: We get outside of the box. We both go, but
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: just so you know at the end, I'm gonna win,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Like that's that thing. He's like, no, no, no, actually
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna win. Call this professional wrestling. I'm not saying
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: it as a work. I'm just saying they're brothers. They
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: might have talked to each other and said, like, I
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: got a plan for this, what are you gonna do?
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: It would have been smart. It would have been smart.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: How about a game ball to whoever planted the camera
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: in front of the young lady, the female trainer, because
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: that digital asset of her reacting to the video is priceless.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: She is celebrating like everybody else in the midst of it,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: wait a second, go go, and starts picking it up
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: and like, oh my god, the run is actually happening.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: This is what we've trained for, this is what I
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: thought it was gonna happen. Cool moment, and also gave
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: all the Secretariat sure because I saw I saw a
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: stat afterwards that Secretariat obviously still the course record holder, right.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: For the greatest horse the yeah, greatest horse of all.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Time, ply the greatest athlete of all time.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Maybe maybe Secretariat the record would have held like a
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: minute fifty eight minute fifty nine point I'm gonna be
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: wrong on the exact number, but would have won that
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: race by seventeen lengths.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: That's wild stuff.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: It was like a full two plus seconds faster, and
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: this was one of the faster runs in a while.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: It seemed like uh and also insanely watched. I think
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: it peaked it over twenty four million people watching, and
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: I think it averaged nineteen million folks watching that yesterday.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: I thought that I thought that was impressive and a
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: game all that I didn't wildly impressive.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Why did that happen? Why this spike, I'm not really
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: sure why. I mean, it wasn't like necessarily a big
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: you know, favorite of a horse. Everyone's like this is
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: a triple crown favorite to watch. So I thought that
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: was an interesting thing to see.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: That highlights again the fact that I mean, sports is
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: the bus driver in all entertainment.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: It really is live and I think the wagering aspect, Billy,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, people are more comfortable, but it's fair, They're
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: more embracing it. They're more like, you know what, this
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: is good. And I've always said the Kentucky Derby is
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: the best, the best event, the best sporting event to
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: have a party for, right because the people that don't
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: really care about the sport they can only have to
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: deal with for two minutes, yep.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: And that's the rest of it is just you know,
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: pomp and circumstances. Everything else is fun drinks and big
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: hats and pictures.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. It is definitely the not on sports fans,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: sporting events and for.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: The horse race guys, they love it because there's a
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: whole day's worth of races to watch. You know, it's
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: not just the now.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: They used to be a lot more succinct, right, It
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: felt like they used to be in a littlere rapid succession.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: But however that you know, potentially happens. How about a
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: game ball to the inside the NBA. It is back,
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: and they brought their fastball. And for all the questions
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: that I did not anticipate, and we all wondered and
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: speculated in questioned, are they gonna be themselves? Are they
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: still gonna be Ernie Shaq, Charles and Kenny. Well, they're
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: still themselves. They were always gonna be themselves. Nobody's gonna
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: tell Charles Barkley what to say on television. You might
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: tell them what not to say, and then he's gonna
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: go say it on television. Sure, the real question was
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: gonna be do the producers still have their fastball? Do
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: they still bring the heat? And when they went gone
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: fishing with the Boston Celtics earlier this weekend, Oh, they
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: still had the fastball on this beautiful boat in the HABBA.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: See Bill Simmons always celebrating and pulling the Celtics screen.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Gotta be tough on him. How about Mark Wahlberg. You
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: can see in there as well a couple other very
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: very notable Bostonians.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: And then they're in the back.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Jalen Brown, Jason Tatum, and right at the front doing
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: the Titanic pose, Mike Rabel and Tana. Now the boys, Uh,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: the AI is phenomenal. I mean, it is a really
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: good pose, really good picture. You clearly know exactly who
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: it is. The boys spent the long time being able
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: to identify it. They won't say it. Nobody says the name. However,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: as long as the inside the NBA producers are still
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: bringing that, as long as our I Underdog is doing that,
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: that show is still gonna be the gold standard for
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: all sports television.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, Billy, And it's good to see, Like
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: you said that they were able to stay into their
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: creative license right now.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Maybe there was a little ESPN on the guys that
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: they were like, I don't know, allowed to be touching this,
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: allowed to be going in on this.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: I think the ESPN and the group and the producer
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: whoever it is, like it because they can be like, well,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: that's the inside the NBA guys, But maybe they could
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: actually do what they wanted to do, which is actually
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: make fun.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Oh so they actually get a little bit of cloak
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: of invisibility because those.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Guys are on it.
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: I like that.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe maybe, like the guy that wants to talk
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: stuff at the bar, but he has to wait till
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: his big friends are there. Right, You make sure that
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: you're protected. Make sure that you have a little bit
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: of protection. Eight seven seven seven nine four seven three
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: mic win game Ball. I think the way that they
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: went out versus the Lakers, the Rockets are going to
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: offer a significant track package for the big man. Now,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: that would be an interesting one. The Rockets were a
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: team that would be in the mix. Earlier on in
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: the proceedings. They a lot of people thought that they
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: would be one of the heavy hitters and heavy bidders
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: for Giannis's services this past offseason. Then they made the
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: trade for Kevin Durant. I'm like, well, Arman, they're not
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: doing that. They can't be traded for Kevin Durant at
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: this point. They don't have the assets. They don't they
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: have Kevin Durant. That's their move to go get the
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: veteran that's going to take them over the top. And
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: then Katie happened, and then my man had to have
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: another burner account and then completely tank that entire season.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: Whether it's all true, not fully true, somewhat true, the
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: truth is that impacted the heck out of that team
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: and completely rotted their season away. And I don't know
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: how that thing can return there in Houston.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: It did. They almost found a way to get it
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: done still and kind of revived that series, but they
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: couldn't complete attend. Well, They're Houston's kind of in a
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: weird spot, so maybe they feel like they have to
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: be drastic make a move. It's gonna be interesting to see.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: You've been bringing it up a lot which team will
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: be desperate enough for a while. To me, it looked
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: like Detroit might be that team. But look at a
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: wide open playoffs, especially in the East, Billy, so I
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: think that might bode well if you're looking for a
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: lot of teams to be in the market.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: There we go. I feel honored.
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: I don't know if I can fill you know, Drew
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: Wilson's shoes or but or whatever.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: You no, you can't hold your We appreciate you being
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: a allowing us to be able to broadcast Multi Time
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: Female Award winner.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I appreciate that, buddy. I'm kind of out of loop.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: Though I didn't watch much sports this weekend.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: I was busy.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: I did catch some of the brewers, but I missed
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: the contecty we're out.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Every guy who's gonna ask if you're start to jump
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: on you there if you're a derby guy.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: But we were out to dinner. It was my son's
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: birthday this weekend, so we actually went out to dinner
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: and it was a bar and restaurant and the place
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: erupted at the end of the dirty I'm like, what's going,
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I forgot about it. The most exciting two
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: minutes in sports.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and we said it's the non sports fans favorite
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: sporting event because, as Armand said, you can have a
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: party and you don't have to care about the event.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Right. It can be quick run, it's painless.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: It's not like a Super Bowl party where the folks
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: that hated have to have the game on for four
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: and a half hours.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: And it actually does drive attention.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Eddie Oldcheck's little in game in game betting tech driving
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: many people.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: It is probably, yeah, the the uh one time when
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: we collectively watch horse racing, right one day, because how
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: many of us are going to watch the Belmont of
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: the Preakness.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: One, I would say, twins Fire's accounts empty, so I can't.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: You gotta reloaded. I can't do it now, I guess,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: I guess I can't watch.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: I would say definitely the Derby is the one time
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: or if there's a triple crown chance, usually the people
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: will watch the Belmont like that's how usually it goes.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: But it's less so, of course than the Derby, no doubt.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: I went to Churchill Downs years and years and years
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: ago when a friend of mine and radio had taken
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: a job in Alabama for some dumb reason.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, and I drove. I saw the SEC media. I
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: drove SEC.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I mean that's true.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Well she was in Huntsville, Alabama at the time,
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: and I drove all the way down there, and I
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: didn't know that Louvo was on the way, and I'm like, man,
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: Churchill Downs is like the crew.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: So yeah, actually went.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: It was probably a Thursday afternoon or something, and I
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: caught some races and made some loser bets and I
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: was on my way to Alabama.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: That went for a bachelor party. But there was no
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: races going on. We just took the tour of church.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: That's fun.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: I saw a couple of a couple of groups of
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: people that went down there and and got to got
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: to wear some sweet suits and hang out on the infield.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Looks like a heck of a time. Yeah, but it is.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: It looks like a heck of a time for somebody
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: that enjoys racing. Now, I don't know that it can bring.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know they can bring one hundred and ninety
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: miles hour horse power. There's a lot of horsepower out there.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know that it's got the horsepower and NASCAR race,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: but that would be intense. Yeah, it's a massive place.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Is And I don't even know the answer to this.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Is it like trying to get a ticket to the
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Master's or is it a little easier getting into the content.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I do think it's quite a bit easier, but I'm
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: not positive. I don't know.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know what their resale market is and if
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: they're hawking folks like they are for reselling Masters.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Tickets, so they are.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: I read a little bit about it last week. There
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: were some stories popping up that Derby fans were upset
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: at the prices and things like that. Apparently you used
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: to people go in get like an infield ticket for
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: like ten bucks back in the day, and now all
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: the prices are higher. Obviously, grants it's one hundred and
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: fifty thousand capacity, I think, or something like that. Grand
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: stands usually have like, you know, a lot of you know,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: the rich and elite and all that stuff, obviously, but
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: the infield was sort of accessible. But like everything else,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: the prices of exploitment exploding. Now you gotta pay like
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: twenty bucks for a drink and whatever it is, it's
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: probably I don't know what a men Julip cost. I
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: know there was one five hundred dollars men Julip, like
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: a special one I dad, like gold flakes. And then
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: there's some be you know, one of those nonsense. It's
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: like that thousand dollars poppy steak thing, and it's like
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: it's not really the drink. So I don't know. I
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: guess the the news coming out was that it's more expensive,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: but so is brown beef.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: So what am I gonna do? They want to start,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: MC doubles three dollars and they're trying to make that
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: to be a deal Okay, yeah, whatever. I mean, let's
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: be honest. I can't even go to the I can't
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: even get ho hos anymore.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: They're not even in the isle anymore, the whole the
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: part of town.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: So everything. Well, so, yes, apparently prices are higher for
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: the derby now and it's harder to get Dave, let's go.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: That was a good one than you now thin get
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: started about one fifty and general mission infield access is
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: over seventeen hundred dollars for the Kentucky.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: One hundred dollars general admission for for in general mission
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: in field access. Holy yeah, see I'm not doing that.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: And you can't watch the race in there, right, I.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Mean you you hear you see a little bit of it.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you're probably watching a lot of it on the
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: jumbo tron.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Wow, that's a that's a different one. Well now
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: that value is gone, just like the value in the
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: sky is no longer. Uh.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: In operation Golf.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: We did pour one out earlier today and for Spirit
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Airlines because we were saying, out of the uh, out
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: of the casualties of big business in corporations, there are
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: some that hit it a little bit different. The ones
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: that you miss the most Spirit is gonna be the
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: one of the ones that we are men. Sorry, And
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: I missed the most because as much as uh I
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: never got to see one of the sweet fights I
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: saw online, I never got to see a baggage claim
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: person screaming at a passenger or somebody losing their stuff
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: in the aisle of a flight. I just got to
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: and from my destination, maybe with a couple of different delays.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: I liked the Walmart in the sky and it's gonna
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: be a sad thing to see it go.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: I need to, and you know, and everywhere every time
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: we'd go on our trips for FM, one of six
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: the boots on the beach, you'd see six or eight
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: of the bolt blindingly yellow with black on the side.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: Spirit planes at every every airport we went to. I'm
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: gonna miss it too. My wife and I would FLYMB
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: to Mexico because it was dirt cheap and dirt de yeah,
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: easy upgrades, you know. And I know people sometimes bark
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: at the different a la carte airlines, but it's it's
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: a sad day and obviously you know what that's gonna
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: It's not good for competition. It's not gonna be good
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: for your your flights going forward. We've seen this before.
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: It's been cyclical where we've had airlines come and go
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: going back. You know, remember air Tran was always a
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: big carrier.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: On Yeah, well, and that was what we we joked about, like,
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: obviously Midwest Express is gonna be everyone's goat in this
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: time in this town.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard for anything to be. But that
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: one at least was phase through.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: You knew that that merger was happening, and then air
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: Tran was still in the city when Spirit pulled out. Now,
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: granted I don't know that they had a ton of
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: different flights rolling in and out of Milwakee, but they had,
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: like you said, six different yeah, NonStop coming through and
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: in and out of Milwaukee. That that was That was
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: a loss for the amount of different first off, just
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: NonStop competition.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: And kind of like the what happened this weekend them
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: leaving Milwaukee was pretty abrupt as well. I think it
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: was in January it was. But yeah, you could get
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: to what Phoenix and Vegas places.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Phoenix, Vegas, Fort Myers.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Places West hotspots, and the thing is their mere existence
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: helped bring, uh least keep prices down, keep them competitive.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: So that's just it's a loss for for air travel.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: It's a loss for the consumer a little bit because
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: you have less options and and and in theory you
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: have worse prices now because the one extra copy.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Spirit and Frontier. They were always different, however, very similar,
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: and they tried to merge. They thought they were going
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: to merge and couldn't do that. Was gonna be a
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: big conglomerate in Milwaukee. Now both are gone, so that's
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: a tough one.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: Frontier was Frontier the one that got loot lumped in
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: with Midwest when they were gobbled up. Was it by
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: Republic or something? Yeah, and uh and things went south.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: So the Frontier you to be fantastic by the way, Yeah,
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: we used to fly out West if my wife grew
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: up in Colorado.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: I love their planes with a big old Today I
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: got the Bobcato.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: So it's one of those things we'll see if someone
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: replaces that service in the market, like if it's them,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: or someone will increase it or absorb the planes and
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: stuff like that. A lot of times that happens.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Usually telling you I would I would go and be
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: I'd be lining up for one of them planes. Yeah,
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: those planes again, perfect safety record. Now they had a
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: lot of stuff going wrong here, but otherwise they were
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: they were too and from they were too and from
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: playing up in the air playing.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Back down onto the ground. You don't need peanuts. Those
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: are the easiest things but the most important.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, and listen, the reality is they got a bad rap,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: but their safety record was good, and they flew air
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: buses mostly, which are better than Boeings, in my opinion,
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: more comfortable. I don't mean to get too inside about it.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: He would sit here and give you a five minute
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: dissertation on the difference between.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: A He would the MD eighties and there the guys.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be that guy, but I will
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: say that I was happy to see the airbus neel,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: you know, like it was better. I thought in the
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: bowling the seven thirty sevens are good, reliable, but they're
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: getting older, so I don't know.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: We'll see what happens there, but yeah, I get it.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: The memes are there.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: It's meme culture and it's spirit was always good for that.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: We'll see all the recaps, all the montages of all
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: the fights and stuff like that.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: So yeah, we got a fish far breaking out thin
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: in the uh yeah, in the cabin.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: That's a good one, right there.
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: Shot This guy's sound the same. Oh yeah, off to
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: your left, he's a toull so Oklahoma. We got a
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: fish fight breaking out in the cabin.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: That's the thing.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: I can't I can't like differentiate that one. And then
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: the guy that loses it and doesn't realize it is
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: on a hot mic. They all do just sounds so similar,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: and you immediately go from we got a fish fighting
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: the cabin to whoa, Okay, there's a career really quickly
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: before we go, your cub's ever gonna lose again? I'm
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: kind of waiting for them. Not a Cups fan, arman,
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: come on, arm and oh, I didn't realize that. Oh no, no,
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: oh wait, it's right. You're a Yankee fan. That's right.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: What am I saying?
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, which is gonna make it interesting. I thought you
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: have though the Cubs and wow, never been a Cubs
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: fan or a White Sox fan. Just embarrass Although I
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: will say and I realized that my first job in
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: radio was in Illinois during the whole Jordan Pippot during
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: that that run, and I became a bit of a
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: cable Bulls fan back in the day, but no, never,
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: never cups. I remember going to Wrigley Field for you know,
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: four dollars seats and two dollars beers in the in
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: the outfield when they sucked. But that was just to
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: go to wringle the field. It had nothing to do
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: with the Cubs.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: I do like those days, and I appreciate it. I
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: wish that we would have more of those days where
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: that team stunk, sucked. It doesn't appear that they sucked
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: right now. Yes, Cardinals also have twenty wins. Well a
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: little bit of a killing people, so we'll see. It's
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: still early, it's still May fourth.
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: Uh kept their head above water despite the injuries, you know,
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: and a picture leaving the mound every day now it
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: seems yeah in uh, some buy.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: With with a trainer, some just you know, busting their
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: butt right there on the mound and trying to get
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: over to first base.
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: So does Logan Henderson stay up for good now?
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: I sure hope so. I don't think so. I don't
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: think so, but I sure hope.
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: So think Dave.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: I think he's gonna stay up as long as Woodroff
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: is on on the il. We'll see how long Woodriff
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: is actually out. But as long as he's out, I
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: think we're gonna keep Henderson for a good little bridge
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: in between U and Priester.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Bryan Butch huddling up with us here today and this
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: beautiful Monday morning. But she thanks for getting up early
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: with us in the den. Thanks for joining us. Brother,
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: you act like this is getting out broly. I got
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: three kids, we already. I gotta squeeze this in seven
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: twenty five.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: We're in the car. I've been up since five for
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: crying out loud, got on the peloton a little.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: Bit all the Well, that's where I'm saying, more importantly,
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: thanks for crowbarring out some time for morning time, because
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: that could be a stressful time of the day. So
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: more importantly, thank you for thank you for neglecting the
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: family for a couple of minutes to be able to
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: chop it up and talk some random nonsense with us.
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, the benefits about not doing mornings anymore
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: is that, like I actually get take my kids to school,
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: and it's not like run around like a two with
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: my head cut off.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: So it's it's busier.
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: Because now I know that, like everybody that listens to
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: this time slot, like, yo, how do you have.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Like you're shoot put the recess peanut butter cup in
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: the lunch.
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: I gotta do this, you do that.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: But we're doing a little bit of all that. But
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: it's good.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we know you're busy, belly, but you're not the
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: only kid ever, the only person ever have kids.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, get up.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: We do appreciate it, and I do appreciate how much money.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Your wife your little one together. It's not like you're
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: helping it all, not like you do.
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: It's not like you do the morning, get out of school,
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: get get the kids ready for daycar.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: My god, I only got two by for.
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: Your beautiful wife. You better make sure you take care
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: of her because you're not doing anything now. It's it's
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: easy to sit in this chair and says Eezy in the.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Morning, mother's coming, Mother's is coming up. Get the flowers
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: a day after when they're on sale. But the point is,
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: but I do appreciate.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: You know, horse papers about two weeks later, and the
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: worst thing is he's gonna brag about it. He brags
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: about it. He says, I got him the next day
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: because they're on sale. Honey, you don't have to say
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: that about it.
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: Ah Lord, get those divorced papers right now. That's why
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: she married me, gets you flowers afterwards. You put those
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: papers down that table. You said, listen, we need to
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: have a talk.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: That's why she made me.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Is a value player, the.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Most important woman in your life, farming.
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: Figure it out.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: That's what you gotta put on the table for them.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: That's a that's a good point.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Butchie and you are staying busy.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it. A lot of great content coming out
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: of the den, especially you've been talking to I think
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: you've talked to every new Badger or every badger on
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: the roster next year, So I appreciate that. I'm always
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: getting great tidbits. If there's one player that one newcomer
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Badger fans know about on the on the team next year,
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: who should be well.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of them.
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: I haven't talked with everybody, so we're still working through that,
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: all right.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: We're there's a process. I dropped about two of these
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: a week.
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: And then we're doing a little bit of a kind
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: of a live segment times on Friday, and.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: I'm getting a lot of help with this.
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: There's there's algorithms and stuff as far as when you
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: should drop stuff and when you do this, like so
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: it's kind of crazy to be honest, like I can,
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: I can get some badger stuff. We're actually gonna talk
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: about with the official DJ Carson, who have retired this
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: week and get his thoughts on what, you know, where
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: the game's at from an official perspective, which I'm kind
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: of really interested.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: But I think when you look at.
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: Elmer the shooting from you know, Miami Ohio bare Bodyguard,
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: I think he's really good. Trey Autry and what he
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: can bring. I don't know if there's one guy I mean,
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: the name that sticks out is obviously Elmer what he
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: can do. But I think in general, right now, Arman,
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: it's so early that it's the process is learning about
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: these people first and these players and then how it's
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: gonna come together. And the reason I say that is
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: if you remember John Tanjay didn't start their first couple
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: of exhibition games, yeah.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Like, and nobody thought that was going to be what
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: he was going to become.
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: So I think a lot of it is, hey, let's
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: get to know these kids and let's just kind of
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: figure this out. They're going to figure out their rotations
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: and what they're doing and how they're playing as that
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: comes along. But right now it's about just just figuring
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: out who these guys are and how do they match.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: And your conversation with Guard just dropped a couple of
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: days ago phenomenal. Now, I don't know you talked to
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Gardo so much, right so you know him on a
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: different level and obviously played for him, like there's such
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: a relationship there. But his comfortability and not like pounding
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: his own chest, but butchy being confident and accepting more
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: of the praise. I feel like, and you could tell
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: me if I'm wrong or maybe if I'm reading the
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: situation poorly, it feels like he's now accepting a little
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: bit more of it. But it's not like he's about
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: to say, hey man, I've got this whole life thing
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: figured out, right, I got this whole college basketball world
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: figured out. But he seems open and comfortable in however
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: their process in this new world of college basketball is,
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: and now that they got it completely locked in, But
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: he seems very very set and confident in their way
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: of finding the player they want and then making them
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: better and developing them.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: One once they're on campus.
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think you know the reason it's a
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: big deal is you know, we're talking back and forth
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: and he's comfortable with me. So there's some things that
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: he says I probably wouldn't say with others. But like
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: when he said, hey, we just had to speak the facts.
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: The facts are, like we win, Like those are the facts.
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: And I know that was uncomfortable for great but part
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: of it is those are the things that need to happen.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: When you're speed dating somebody, Yeah, for sure, and the
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: portal is speed dating.
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: So you have to get your messages out there quickly.
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: You have to put out in front of kids, we're
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: gonna make the NCAA tournament. Like you don't have to
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: think if we're gonna make the NCAA tournament. We're going
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: to make the NCAA tournament like that. We have look
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: at the track record. It's not I'm not boisterous, I'm
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: not putting out there like but the facts are with
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: the facts are. So I think that's the thing that
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: he's done because we are in a world of what
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: I call speed dating. When you look at the portal
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: and now it's okay, Now we got to get these
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: guys to come in. We gotta find these guys, we
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: gotta get them to mesh and we gotta you know,
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: play together.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: So it's really interesting.
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: Now Shaka is doing the same thing obviously.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: When you look at what he's doing with his portal.
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: And but again, both of those schools in Wisconsin and Marquette,
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: they started with what they started with retention, and I
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: think that by itself is still going to be how
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: both of those schools have to win. When you look
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: at Marquette and Shaka, it's the relationship factor. It's the Hey,
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: this is what we're built on. This is our DNA
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: is relationships. That's how I strive to be the success.
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: And then when you look at Wisconsin, it's culture. Each
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: of these guys passed down to the new guys coming in.
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: This is acceptable, This is not acceptable. This is the
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: way we do things. This is the way we handle
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: our business. This is not how we handle our business.
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: So I think those both of those still in college basketball,
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: as much as everybody gets excited about the new guys,
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: I think retention is probably the best.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: That's what The programs that are the best are the
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: ones that have, Like I mean, obviously Lindenburgh was sensational
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: and all the guys that Michigan brought in, But who
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: was the guy that walked into the team hotel with
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: the trophy? If I'm not mistaken, wasn't it will chatter
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: the guy that's been.
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: There for four years ould Tedder And you look at
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: Barnett what he was able to do and be a
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: part of it, Like you have to have core people
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: that understand and for me, I use like this is
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: the expectations. But most importantly it's also like the language.
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: Like each coaching staff has a different language they speak.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: They all speak Ball, but then they then that's Ball.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: One oh one.
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: When you talk about how the guard screens and what
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: the expectations are, now you're at five oh one and
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: you're at six oh one and seven oh one. As
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: far as classes and what a coach uses.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: To describe different things, it changes.
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: So to be able to have that language and then
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: be able to understand it and have someone translated as
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: quickly as possible is really important in what you're trying
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: to do to build a team, that you can get
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: that chemistry as quickly as possible. Because what we've seen
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: and you know this arm and based on Ken Palm. Yes,
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: all right, games that happen in November are weighted as
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: as much as they're waited in March or February. And
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: that's where if you can get some early chemistry in
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: this in you know, in the season, and you get
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: some of those bigger wins, it only helps you for
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: seeding and everything else.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Really quick, Butch, good stuff there, And if you missed
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Butcher's conversation with Guard, checking out on Butcher's then on
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: YouTube smashed to follow the Crabin Hall one is also
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: also awesome. Amazing content you're putting out, Butcher.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: We have pretty fun.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: We have some fun.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: That was my favorite when he's like, a, right, we
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: live here, this is who we are.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: Sorry, No, we got the bad story from the house
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: in college. That's my favorites. But Guard said he was
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: in favorite expanded tournament. I thought that was interesting. Uh
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: and more games. Were you surprised by that? And how
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: do you feel about the expanded tournament?
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: But no, not exprised and none, you know, expriy surprise. Yeah,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: coaches are going to be very happy about it.
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, not surprised about it, because I think the reality
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: of where we're at with this is.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: It was always going to come.
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: I thought it was kind of comic to see everybody
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: complain about it, because everybody that was complaining about it,
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: they only watching half of February March.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: Like they don't watch they watch after football season, they
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: watch after football.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: See.
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: So now I got people that don't watch the game
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: sitting there booing and complaining and making a big deal
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: about this, And I'm like, you're not a college basketball person.
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: If you're a college basketball person, you realize this was
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: going to come. This isn't new, This isn't something that
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: all of a sudden was like, Oh my goodness, why
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: is it a good thing?
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Let's start there. Everybody can tell me why it's bad.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: It doesn't fit on the paper, it doesn't do this.
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: Okay, are your eyeballs gonna watch Tuesday and Wednesday? Now, yes,
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: yes they will. Did you watch Tuesday and Thursday one
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: game after this two sixteens?
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: You did?
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: So, now you're gonna watch more games, and it's gonna
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: start earlier and March madness is gonna start Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: Like that's the big chunk. If you're college basketball number
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: one there's money behind it.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: That's the obvious thing.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: We all know that.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: But every other league is expanded.
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: I was not a big fan of the NFL expanding
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: because almost fifty percent of the teams make the playoffs,
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: and by the way Packers, if they wouldn't be the
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: seventh seed, I think we probably would have had changes
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: sooner
