- 0:00Speaker 1: Locked and loaded, enjoying one of those 10% days in
- 0:03Speaker 1: the good land. Drew Billy and Armin, The Huddle, Fox
- 0:05Speaker 1: Sports Radio, Wisconsin, 920 Milwaukee, 1070 Madison, everywhere in the
- 0:08Speaker 1: IRD app, streaming live, Facebook, X and YouTube for the insomniacs,
- 0:11Speaker 1: the early risers, sociopaths who are waiting for the health
- 0:15Speaker 1: club to open or just getting in there, getting after it.
- 0:18Speaker 1: Welcome in six o'clock clubbers and welcome to one of
- 0:23Speaker 1: the glorious Mondays in Wisconsin sports history.
- 0:25Speaker 2: I think it was Maddie Vee.
- 0:27Speaker 1: On the MLB set, or actually the Fox set, who
- 0:30Speaker 1: said that one of the fourth time in history that
- 0:36Speaker 1: the Brewers won a playoff game on the same day
- 0:37Speaker 1: that the Packers won a game.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Oh, I love that. I love that stat. I love
- 0:42Speaker 2: that crack research.
- 0:43Speaker 1: And when's the last time? It can happen in September,
- 0:47Speaker 1: but when's the last time that we had? Badgers, Packers,
- 0:50Speaker 1: and Brewers all prevail during a weekend.
- 0:53Speaker 2: It's been a while. It's been a while. One of
- 0:55Speaker 2: the only ones I can think of is Packers are playing. Now,
- 0:59Speaker 2: maybe it was the end of the regular season. But
- 1:01Speaker 2: when they're coming off of the Super Bowl, again, I mean,
- 1:06Speaker 2: that 2010-2011 time frame as a Wisconsin sports fan, kind
- 1:10Speaker 2: of hard to beat. Now, granted, we also had Monte Ellis.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Monte can do it all. You take out the championships,
- 1:17Speaker 2: he's basically Dwayne Wade. We saw the Monte Brandon Jennings
- 1:20Speaker 2: thing was going to come together. You were right there
- 1:21Speaker 2: on the cusp there, but you had the Brewers battling
- 1:24Speaker 2: for the title, Packers coming off one, and they just
- 1:27Speaker 2: beat the absolute breaks off the Broncos on one Sunday game.
- 1:31Speaker 2: That was the one where I believe McCarthy ripped into
- 1:33Speaker 2: him at halftime because they weren't winning by enough.
- 1:35Speaker 3: That was the one that has the really famously YouTube
- 1:39Speaker 3: famous Aaron Rodgers super long call where they hit Jordy
- 1:43Speaker 3: Nelson on that deep, you know, kind of post thing.
- 1:46Speaker 2: And so this would be, it might've been end of
- 1:49Speaker 2: September into October, but that was the most vivid time.
- 1:53Speaker 2: I remember drew of them actually doing brewers updates of
- 1:57Speaker 2: the score inside of Lambeau field. Badgers are pretty good
- 2:01Speaker 2: at that time. So that might've happened. Maybe that could be.
- 2:04Speaker 2: But it is hard to think of the amount of
- 2:06Speaker 2: times they've been this good at the exact same time
- 2:08Speaker 2: the same way.
- 2:09Speaker 3: It's easy to forget. You know, we get arrested by
- 2:11Speaker 3: the moment. So, yeah, it might have happened at some point.
- 2:13Speaker 3: But this is the one we're going to remember because
- 2:16Speaker 3: of how exciting it was. Now, the thing is, and
- 2:18Speaker 3: you talk about the Packers, it wasn't necessarily the most exciting.
- 2:21Speaker 3: A whelming victory. It was an underwhelming victory, but it
- 2:24Speaker 3: was a victory. And the Packers are in dire need
- 2:27Speaker 3: of anything positive right now. And, hey, look, they're 2-2.
- 2:30Speaker 3: So for most of us, I know it was the Brewers,
- 2:33Speaker 3: but it was good to see everyone get a win
- 2:36Speaker 3: over the weekend. That was a fantastic thing. Mike Witt
- 2:38Speaker 3: asked on YouTube, where were you guys watching when Churrio
- 2:40Speaker 3: did what he did yesterday? Well, we were all probably
- 2:42Speaker 3: home because we'd just gotten off the air on Packers OT.
- 2:45Speaker 2: That's right. You guys were on doing a great job.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Talking about a packers win during that so i think
- 2:49Speaker 3: we were all home in time to.
- 2:50Speaker 1: Watch i was home yeah i was tempted to stop
- 2:52Speaker 1: at the ballpark i think doug russell went to.
- 2:54Speaker 3: The ballpark he did he told me he's like i'm
- 2:56Speaker 3: going right to the park armin i'll get you some
- 2:58Speaker 3: audio so that.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Was the whole thing i didn't go because like i
- 3:01Speaker 1: uh you know parking and all that stuff like it
- 3:03Speaker 1: i just figured ah well it would have been a
- 3:06Speaker 1: hassle to get in because we by the time we
- 3:07Speaker 1: got off the air i did get home for the
- 3:09Speaker 1: last two innings though so i.
- 3:11Speaker 3: Was in the i was in the car when uh
- 3:13Speaker 3: When Yelich almost made it to the almost went yard
- 3:16Speaker 3: and hit it to the track. Yeah, that was when
- 3:18Speaker 3: I got in just in time for the error to
- 3:20Speaker 3: give the Brewers a three to, you know, cut the
- 3:22Speaker 3: deficit to one.
- 3:23Speaker 2: So then watch it from the rest of the way.
- 3:25Speaker 2: They're very exciting. Yeah, we had we had gone over
- 3:27Speaker 2: to the to the in-laws. And it was right as
- 3:32Speaker 2: my wife and I watched the Yelich one. We both
- 3:34Speaker 2: lost our minds, thought it was gone, got yelled at
- 3:36Speaker 2: by the three year old to quiet down. Oh, really?
- 3:39Speaker 2: He told you to quiet down? He said, Daddy, quiet down.
- 3:42Speaker 2: I'm making pizza. Okay. Sorry, bud. All right. Sorry. I apologize.
- 3:45Speaker 2: You got to understand the moment.
- 3:47Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Well, he said it was warning track power. Well, I know.
- 3:50Speaker 2: Quiet down. It wasn't a bomb. How did Carson react
- 3:52Speaker 2: to the Churio hit? He was quite fired up because
- 3:55Speaker 2: he kind of shut the box. Not going to lie.
- 3:58Speaker 2: He had his Jackson Churio t-shirt on, but was switching
- 4:02Speaker 2: in between yesterday, the Yelich jersey and the Freelick jersey.
- 4:06Speaker 3: Ah.
- 4:06Speaker 2: So, I mean, all three aspects of the final play
- 4:09Speaker 2: he kind of had in there in the midst. Wait
- 4:11Speaker 2: a minute. He's the reason. He was the good mojo.
- 4:14Speaker 2: He was quite fired up. He was quite fired up.
- 4:16Speaker 2: But all he kept doing was just hitting the C
- 4:19Speaker 2: that he had put little tape on the Yelich jersey
- 4:22Speaker 2: for as he was celebrating the slide. I love that.
- 4:27Speaker 2: That's amazing. So he's embraced the captain.
- 4:29Speaker 3: You know, I always said he's already the captain now.
- 4:31Speaker 3: Laura asked him why they put the C there because
- 4:33Speaker 3: I told her how they didn't have a captain before
- 4:35Speaker 3: and this is the first time and She's like, well,
- 4:37Speaker 3: sometimes where could they put it on the shoulder, on
- 4:39Speaker 3: the sleeve? I'm like, yeah, they put it right above
- 4:41Speaker 3: his heart because that's what's beating for this team. Of course,
- 4:43Speaker 3: I think that's the hearts on the other side. She
- 4:45Speaker 3: told me close.
- 4:45Speaker 2: It's on the left.
- 4:47Speaker 3: She informed me of that. I always wonder, like, what's
- 4:49Speaker 3: the C they're using? Are they using, like, the little
- 4:51Speaker 3: C when you do, like, a Mick whatever, like, for
- 4:54Speaker 3: one of those names? Where they found a little C.
- 4:56Speaker 2: In, like, the... I mean, it doesn't matter. Yeah, I know.
- 4:59Speaker 2: I'm just thinking, like, where'd they find the little C?
- 5:01Speaker 2: Probably when they have, like, you know, the Mick whatever. Also.
- 5:03Speaker 3: You're saying, what do they do in the team store
- 5:05Speaker 3: when they get one?
- 5:06Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 5:07Speaker 3: So I can get my own. Also, I love that
- 5:09Speaker 3: Daniel DeMontessori has his own number. I think he's, like,
- 5:11Speaker 3: number 95.
- 5:13Speaker 2: He should get one.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Yeah, I got to get that game used at the clubhouse.
- 5:15Speaker 3: There's one for you because he's having a moment.
- 5:17Speaker 2: He is. Everyone, like, you know, loving him. He's beloved
- 5:20Speaker 2: in the clubhouse and with the media. For sure.
- 5:22Speaker 1: But I was, like, I was going into the interview room.
- 5:25Speaker 1: I had been in the clubhouse on Saturday, and then
- 5:27Speaker 1: I walked over to the interview room, and his.
- 5:31Speaker 1: Daniel's parents were with me because they wanted to watch
- 5:33Speaker 1: him at the podium in Turbo. It was very cool
- 5:36Speaker 1: that they walked in and his parents got to see it.
- 5:38Speaker 1: And they were so stoked.
- 5:39Speaker 2: That is so cool. It was like being behind a
- 5:41Speaker 2: player's parents. It's pretty interesting.
- 5:44Speaker 1: It was pretty cool that his parents were walking in
- 5:45Speaker 1: to see it.
- 5:46Speaker 3: You notice with the interview and everything like that and postgame.
- 5:49Speaker 3: He understands the question, Jack Centurio.
- 5:52Speaker 1: But he answers both do.
- 5:53Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty awesome. I'll say that is one of
- 5:56Speaker 2: the most impressive thing. That is a man in the
- 5:58Speaker 2: arena when he starts answering those questions. So great. So great.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Their English is like, you know, they can they can
- 6:03Speaker 1: understand the questions. They get the gist. They speak, you know,
- 6:07Speaker 1: they can get by, but I don't begrudge them wanting
- 6:09Speaker 1: to answer questions in there.
- 6:12Speaker 2: Not at all they want to make sure.
- 6:14Speaker 3: They say it the way they want to say it
- 6:16Speaker 3: and that's what's awesome about it because you can really.
- 6:18Speaker 1: Feel that and they trust Daniel and it's amazing but
- 6:20Speaker 1: then yeah it's those guys do that and I go
- 6:24Speaker 1: back I remember when Hideo Nomo would do he had
- 6:27Speaker 1: his interpreter and he would do the interview with us
- 6:29Speaker 1: and then the Japanese writers would get at him and
- 6:32Speaker 1: that's kind of the way it goes a lot with
- 6:34Speaker 1: the big guys like Ichiro and stuff and probably Shohei
- 6:37Speaker 1: and stuff like that they'll do that And Shohei speaks
- 6:41Speaker 1: fine English.
- 6:42Speaker 2: I was going to say, he can speak very well
- 6:43Speaker 2: now at this point. I'll never forget. It's one of
- 6:45Speaker 2: my favorite memories back when Hideo Nomo pitched for the Brewers.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Tail end of his career. He ran in the sausage race,
- 6:50Speaker 1: by the way. That's not as good a process. My
- 6:53Speaker 1: three favorite Hideo Nomo stories.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Here's one for you.
- 6:56Speaker 1: When he came over, one of the first American phrases
- 6:59Speaker 1: he learned, he liked wine. And he learned how to
- 7:02Speaker 1: order house red wine. like the first three of the
- 7:04Speaker 1: first english words he learned were house red wine he'd
- 7:07Speaker 1: order house red wine well done so he won a
- 7:09Speaker 1: game and he hit some milestone for the brewers and
- 7:11Speaker 1: they got him like an expensive bottle of wine and
- 7:13Speaker 1: then they taped over at house red wine.
- 7:16Speaker 2: That was funny it's up your alley it's the.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Good stuff he ran in the sausage race because he
- 7:20Speaker 1: loved the sausage race he would get so excited when
- 7:22Speaker 1: the sausages would run by it and this was county
- 7:24Speaker 1: stadium right and then he ran in the sausage race
- 7:26Speaker 1: and he had You could tell, like, his legs, and
- 7:28Speaker 1: he had the Brewers shorts on, like the workout shorts,
- 7:31Speaker 1: and he was like.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Wasn't hiding it very well?
- 7:33Speaker 1: I don't think anybody knew in the stance, but we
- 7:35Speaker 1: knew he was running the race that day. We're like,
- 7:37Speaker 1: there's Hideo. Did he win?
- 7:38Speaker 2: So that was a highlight. I think he did. Good, good.
- 7:41Speaker 2: He had to have won. I think he might have.
- 7:42Speaker 1: And then the other one was, I walked in one morning,
- 7:44Speaker 1: and I went to interview Phil Garner in his office,
- 7:46Speaker 1: and he's sitting there, and Hideo's there, and they're talking.
- 7:48Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I'm sorry, are you guys talking? I'll leave.
- 7:50Speaker 1: He goes, oh, and Garner's like, come on in. Hideo's
- 7:52Speaker 1: teaching me Japanese. And it's like, really? He goes, yeah,
- 7:56Speaker 1: we're going to be able to communicate. He's teaching me
- 7:57Speaker 1: some Japanese. And they had like a book out and stuff.
- 8:00Speaker 1: And I'm like, why Hideo speaks perfectly good English. And
- 8:03Speaker 1: he looks at me, he goes, no, no.
- 8:05Speaker 2: And he shakes his head. He's like, no, no.
- 8:06Speaker 1: I'm going to say, you just proved my point. I mean,
- 8:09Speaker 1: I know the jig is up.
- 8:11Speaker 2: The jig is up. You could be doing interviews with
- 8:13Speaker 2: us in English, but it's okay. It's all right. One
- 8:16Speaker 2: of my, well, and hilarious, the longer you're here, it's
- 8:19Speaker 2: hard not to, but I think one of my favorites
- 8:21Speaker 2: is a shack in company. I've now talked about Yao
- 8:23Speaker 2: Ming in the same way where there were some guys
- 8:26Speaker 2: in check and said, he's like, I've never talked smack
- 8:28Speaker 2: to Yao one time would never say anything to him.
- 8:30Speaker 2: All of a sudden, we're in the Western Conference Finals.
- 8:33Speaker 2: I got to back down, and I laid it up
- 8:35Speaker 2: to him. He goes, nice move.
- 8:37Speaker 3: Are you talking? You talk English? He goes, of course
- 8:40Speaker 3: I talk English, Shaq. Are you kidding me?
- 8:42Speaker 2: Of course I can talk English. That was a great one.
- 8:44Speaker 2: I've seen that one.
- 8:45Speaker 3: All right, let's get some more. Let's get a couple
- 8:47Speaker 3: comments in. A lot of people chiming in. Everyone's excited.

- 9:28Speaker 3: a job giving us all those cinematic angles the different
- 9:32Speaker 3: angles i've been like you billy trying to watch it

- 9:47Speaker 2: pounding like a toddler. He's pounding his back in the ground.
- 9:50Speaker 2: That's the greatest thing about these moments.
- 9:52Speaker 3: You see grown men act just like kids in this moment.
- 9:55Speaker 3: You can tell the true feeling. the exuberance nothing that
- 9:58Speaker 3: money and fame and none of that can touch those moments.
- 10:01Speaker 2: One of the first guys over the rail was ms
- 10:03Speaker 2: so excited instantly over and we gotta watch out but
- 10:07Speaker 2: with the high jump in there for.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Minutes though there was some talk of that when yannis
- 10:10Speaker 1: was traded it's like okay who's the face of wisconsin
- 10:13Speaker 1: sports Right.
- 10:14Speaker 2: And is it Jay Love just because he's QB one
- 10:16Speaker 2: on the Packers? Right. And people thought, well, it's definitely
- 10:19Speaker 2: Miz because of the electricity he brings. It's like, I'm
- 10:21Speaker 2: sure he would like a word. Yeah, he might be
- 10:22Speaker 2: right in that conversation.
- 10:24Speaker 1: I mean, he missed the mugs and he still put
- 10:25Speaker 1: up great numbers and he's 22 years old.
- 10:28Speaker 2: I mean, come on. He's younger than Braylon Allen, isn't he? Well,
- 10:30Speaker 2: and he already has. He's three years in and he's
- 10:33Speaker 2: now beaten what we had for five or six years
- 10:37Speaker 2: as the best thing to say in sports radio about
- 10:39Speaker 2: the Brewers. He's now the biggest bargain the Brewers have
- 10:42Speaker 2: ever had. He's now already supplanted Freddy Peralta as the
- 10:46Speaker 2: greatest value in all of sports with the deal that
- 10:49Speaker 2: they now still have sitting there for the next seven years.
- 10:52Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about him being a flight
- 10:54Speaker 1: risk and free agency. And like they could extend him now.
- 10:56Speaker 1: Build a statue.
- 10:57Speaker 2: All right. Yeah, I did say that. That was my
- 11:00Speaker 2: reaction that I did laugh at because I have laughed
- 11:02Speaker 2: when people are like, how do you rip up the
- 11:04Speaker 2: contract and give him another one? I might say, hey, Jackson,
- 11:07Speaker 2: let's go. Let's figure out what we're going to do
- 11:09Speaker 2: here in these 10 years after the 10 years that
- 11:12Speaker 2: we have you for.
- 11:12Speaker 3: And even if he doesn't want to give you that
- 11:15Speaker 3: much a chunk of time, if you can even add
- 11:17Speaker 3: any time to it, any time.
- 11:20Speaker 1: He's terrific, but he's also displaying the Ryan Braun knack
- 11:24Speaker 1: for the moment.
- 11:24Speaker 2: That's the thing. That's it, dude. You just know he
- 11:27Speaker 2: believes in that moment. He can get it done.
- 11:28Speaker 1: And there was a time, like in 18, 19, when Yelich.
- 11:31Speaker 2: Was at the peak of his powers.
- 11:32Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 11:33Speaker 1: Well, I said this about that, you know, the blue
- 11:36Speaker 1: haired kid from Chicago to like you need a triple here.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Here's a triple. You know, you need a homer. Here's
- 11:40Speaker 2: a homer.
- 11:40Speaker 3: It is.
- 11:41Speaker 2: Oh, this guy's the toughest guy we can. We're going
- 11:43Speaker 2: to face. Let me face him. And that's what the
- 11:46Speaker 2: tutorial is. Put it this way. That situation last night
- 11:50Speaker 2: against me. Is there anybody else on the team you
- 11:52Speaker 2: want batting? No way. It's not even a close. Not
- 11:55Speaker 2: even close. Not even close.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Contreras has a somewhat of a knack for it. And
- 11:59Speaker 1: he hit the big bomb in game one. And Contreras
- 12:03Speaker 1: is in the discussion, but he's a runner-up because it's Churio.
- 12:07Speaker 1: And it's a distant runner-up to me.
- 12:09Speaker 2: They flash Jackson's numbers. Now, I can't remember if it
- 12:12Speaker 2: was career or just on the year. He's 371 with
- 12:16Speaker 2: the bases loaded. Crazy. That's insane production in that moment.
- 12:19Speaker 1: The fact that he already owns the franchise record for
- 12:22Speaker 1: postseason homers.
- 12:24Speaker 2: Again, another one of the great bar tricks in Brewers
- 12:26Speaker 2: fan history. You're no longer going to be able to say, yeah,
- 12:30Speaker 2: leader in postseason home runs orlando arcia you want a
- 12:33Speaker 2: lot of free beers being able to do that no
- 12:35Speaker 2: longer it's gonna be jackson churio for forever he's gonna
- 12:38Speaker 2: set that mark too far that anybody's gonna be able to.
- 12:40Speaker 3: Get it absolutely yeah you lost your chance then it's
- 12:43Speaker 3: just the fact that it was orlando for a while
- 12:45Speaker 3: um it's just you know there have been so many
- 12:48Speaker 3: times in my life like so many years i've gone
- 12:51Speaker 3: through the whole clutch player thing to see, you know,
- 12:53Speaker 3: is it real?
- 12:54Speaker 2: Is it not? I've gone back and forth, try to
- 12:56Speaker 2: convince myself.
- 12:57Speaker 3: Didn't know if I believe that clutch was a real skill,
- 13:00Speaker 3: but then a guy like Jackson makes you question everything
- 13:03Speaker 3: you believed on that. Cause it just seems so obvious
- 13:05Speaker 3: that there are certain people that have no fear in
- 13:07Speaker 3: that arena. And like you were, he was up there
- 13:10Speaker 3: last night. ready to and expecting to win a game
- 13:14Speaker 3: off the best closer in baseball. Hey, talk about, you know,
- 13:17Speaker 3: the first couple, you know, Mason blew by those fastballs
- 13:20Speaker 3: and he went after each one, took that big, big
- 13:23Speaker 3: pitch in the dirt. That was a huge one that
- 13:25Speaker 3: he spit at and just said, I'm going to hit
- 13:27Speaker 3: this guy's best pitch.
- 13:28Speaker 2: I'm going to do it. And he did it. It
- 13:29Speaker 2: was incredible. The fall off on the one Oh four
- 13:32Speaker 2: fastball drew where he sniffs the bat and is so
- 13:37Speaker 2: mad at himself for missing it. Pierzynski is like laughing
- 13:40Speaker 2: on the broadcast saying he's trying to fool him. He's
- 13:43Speaker 2: trying to fool him to get him to throw him
- 13:45Speaker 2: another slider so he can catch up to it because
- 13:48Speaker 2: he knows he wasn't on it. I'm like, I don't
- 13:50Speaker 2: know what game you're watching, Pierzynski. I thought he was
- 13:52Speaker 2: right on it. Just missed it.
- 13:54Speaker 3: Agreed.
- 13:54Speaker 2: That was a win. Just missed it. And generally, I've
- 13:56Speaker 2: been okay with Pierzynski and Wainwright. I think they're really good.
- 14:00Speaker 2: But they've been good. Give me them over Smoltz every
- 14:02Speaker 2: day and twice on Sunday. I totally agree.
- 14:04Speaker 3: And I don't expect them to be all brewers all
- 14:06Speaker 3: the time like a lot of them. I know fans
- 14:08Speaker 3: are upset because these are neutral observers. But I thought
- 14:11Speaker 3: that was odd, too. At first, I was like, he
- 14:12Speaker 3: was on top of that.
- 14:13Speaker 2: Right on it.
- 14:14Speaker 1: We're not even going to get to game balls and
- 14:15Speaker 1: kicks today, I don't think. Armand, do you have sounders
- 14:17Speaker 1: for him?
- 14:17Speaker 2: There's a lot of game balls.
- 14:18Speaker 1: I do.
- 14:19Speaker 2: I do, yeah. Oh, my bad. We could do. All right.
- 14:21Speaker 2: I wondered if you even had that.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Because, all right, let's fire that up. 877-794-1973. Game balls,
- 14:27Speaker 1: kicks to the balls. A Monday tradition in the huddle. Today,
- 14:31Speaker 1: a game ball is.
- 14:31Speaker 2: Johnson-Jones meets the Bulldogs! I'm sure you're shocked.
- 14:36Speaker 1: Perfect, because my first game ball was going to be
- 14:38Speaker 1: Adam Amin for nailing that call.
- 14:40Speaker 2: Nailing the moment.
- 14:41Speaker 3: Very good.
- 14:41Speaker 2: He was terrific. Yep. He was fantastic. Jackson Turio meets
- 14:44Speaker 2: the moment.
- 14:45Speaker 1: Everybody else is like, Jackson Turio walks it off, or
- 14:47Speaker 1: Jackson Turio meets the moment again, which he did. So
- 14:50Speaker 1: Adam Amin gets the first game ball, and then a
- 14:52Speaker 1: kick to the balls is what?
- 14:53Speaker 2: Maybe hungover. I couldn't help myself. That could be in perpetuity.
- 14:58Speaker 3: I promised myself I was not going to forget to
- 15:00Speaker 3: use that for a kick to the balls. Yes.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Maybe hungover.
- 15:03Speaker 1: You can get us your game balls and kicks, 877-794-1973.
- 15:07Speaker 1: He still might be after that homer that he had
- 15:09Speaker 1: in game one.
- 15:10Speaker 2: Goodness gracious. They have a great story, huh?
- 15:11Speaker 1: So we'll fire that up, and we'll also, we can
- 15:14Speaker 1: check a box, too. Who's hot, who's not, presented by
- 15:17Speaker 1: Donovan Jorgensen, heating and cooling. The Brewers are hot, and
- 15:21Speaker 1: the Padres are not. And here's one for you. Here's
- 15:23Speaker 1: a number for you, courtesy of Sarah Langs and others.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Teams that win the first two games of a division series...
- 15:31Speaker 1: go on to win that series, and the Brewers are,
- 15:35Speaker 1: last year, they're part of the stat, they win the
- 15:38Speaker 1: series 83 of 93 times, 89% of the time, if
- 15:43Speaker 1: you have a 2-0 lead, you're winning a five-game series.
- 15:45Speaker 1: Now there's an 11% chance that the Padres can come
- 15:48Speaker 1: back and steal this thing and then and beat the
- 15:52Speaker 1: Brewers in game five Friday in Milwaukee.
- 15:55Speaker 2: That's good news to know as Wisconsin pre-sale tickets for
- 15:58Speaker 2: the NLCS go on sale today at 10 o'clock. It's
- 16:01Speaker 2: also one of those where it's like, if you got
- 16:04Speaker 2: flight credit, maybe you go out and enjoy it in
- 16:06Speaker 2: that Hornets desk. Or maybe you don't. Maybe you don't
- 16:09Speaker 2: want to go and poke the bear out there in
- 16:10Speaker 2: San Diego. Well, there's a couple ways to look at it.
- 16:12Speaker 2: It doesn't seem like a Philly crowd. No, it seems
- 16:15Speaker 2: like a fun crowd. Seems like a fun crowd. Seems
- 16:17Speaker 2: like a nice crowd. But I don't know if I
- 16:19Speaker 2: want to be. I don't know if I'd want to
- 16:20Speaker 2: attempt fate.
- 16:21Speaker 3: Although I got one huckleberry bone to pick. I don't
- 16:24Speaker 3: know exactly what the cat's name is. It's that clown
- 16:26Speaker 3: on that Channel 7 San Diego station walking the concourse.
- 16:30Speaker 2: You guys have seen this by now.
- 16:32Speaker 3: Walking the concourse and saying, this crowd looks like they're depressed.
- 16:35Speaker 2: They're not like the crowd in San Diego. This crowd stinks.
- 16:38Speaker 2: Look at these guys. No one's excited here.
- 16:40Speaker 3: This idiot farming to his audience.
- 16:43Speaker 2: I know what he's doing out there. I know what
- 16:44Speaker 2: you're doing pandering to your local TV. I got to
- 16:46Speaker 2: check this out.
- 16:46Speaker 3: It was basically like you with the Philadelphia Reporter at
- 16:50Speaker 3: the Super Bowl.
- 16:51Speaker 2: Just spit in his face. It was just kind of annoying.
- 16:53Speaker 3: I don't know who this guy was. I couldn't find
- 16:55Speaker 3: the name of the reporter. Whatever, it's a local report, but...
- 16:58Speaker 3: It's just kind of annoying me. Listen, there's one way
- 17:01Speaker 3: to look at it, though. You could say to yourself, well,
- 17:03Speaker 3: they might be going to L.A. So do you take.
- 17:05Speaker 2: That little flag credit there? I did see a couple
- 17:08Speaker 2: of videos of the Dodger fans hate watching and celebrating
- 17:12Speaker 2: the Brewers' victory. Oh, they hate San Diego. That's how
- 17:14Speaker 2: the Brewers. Hating San Diego? That's good. Well, that was
- 17:16Speaker 2: the only thing they got to celebrate last night because
- 17:18Speaker 2: they walked out of there sad as they're now tied
- 17:20Speaker 2: 1-1 with the Braves. I got a couple on the
- 17:22Speaker 2: who's hot, who's not. How about a hot former Packer,
- 17:26Speaker 2: Emmanuel Wilson?
- 17:27Speaker 3: Hmm.
- 17:28Speaker 2: Oh, monster, monster. Would 21 totes for 81 yards and
- 17:32Speaker 2: two tugs be nice for the Packers right now? How
- 17:34Speaker 2: many fumbles did he have in the red zone? That
- 17:37Speaker 2: would have been because I don't know. You can do that, right?
- 17:41Speaker 2: You can run the ball about fumbling. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Unbelievable.
- 17:45Speaker 2: I don't know where you'd put Taekwon Thornton in the
- 17:47Speaker 2: hot or not category because he had five catches for
- 17:50Speaker 2: 111 yards and two touchdowns yesterday. But then he dislocated
- 17:54Speaker 2: his ankle on the final one. So I don't know
- 17:56Speaker 2: if that would be hot or not. Like the Adrian
- 17:58Speaker 2: Cooper thing. Kyrie Kill said he is in contact. Ted
- 18:02Speaker 2: McMillan was hot last night. 14 catches, a buck 92
- 18:05Speaker 2: and two touchdowns against the Detroit Lions. How about that result?
- 18:09Speaker 2: Lions losing. And the worst one was this Kyle Menungai,
- 18:13Speaker 2: who's going to be running for the Bears this weekend.
- 18:16Speaker 2: Their two-headed monster against the Packers. He went for 30
- 18:18Speaker 2: carries for 146 yards and two touchdowns against the New
- 18:22Speaker 2: York Jets this weekend. Man. Yeah. Yikes. Okay. All right.
- 18:27Speaker 2: Ben Johnson said, you guys know what week it is.
- 18:30Speaker 2: Enough said. How about not category, Drew? Freaking TJ Hawkinson. Oh,
- 18:36Speaker 2: my God. Minnesota Vikings win 1510 over the Miami Dolphins.
- 18:42Speaker 2: The Dolphins do not cover their first number in four weeks.
- 18:45Speaker 2: And TJ Hawkinson decides at the one-yard line after 13
- 18:50Speaker 2: grabs for 119 yards to not go for the 120th yard,
- 18:54Speaker 2: a touchdown, and the cover.
- 18:57Speaker 3: Oh!
- 18:58Speaker 2: TJ Hawkinson. TJ Hawkinson. You are 1,000% dead to me
- 19:02Speaker 2: and reminded me one last time why you never, ever,
- 19:06Speaker 2: and I mean ever, trust somebody from Minnesota. There you go.
- 19:12Speaker 2: TJ Fleck is on that list, too. That's right. He
- 19:15Speaker 2: might have been in the hot list that a little
- 19:16Speaker 2: brown jug celebration row in the boat. Oh my God.
- 19:19Speaker 2: All right.
- 19:19Speaker 1: So Donovan Jorgensen, the leaders in HVAC, check them out.
- 19:24Speaker 1: Employee owned for 40 years. Donovan Jorgensen.
- 19:26Speaker 2: And they would never leave you at the one yard line. Never.
- 19:29Speaker 2: They would never leave you out in the cold at
- 19:31Speaker 2: the one yard line. Like TJ Hawkinson did leaving you
- 19:33Speaker 2: at the Pottawatomie sports book, sitting there with a ticket
- 19:36Speaker 2: with two thirds of a touchdown parlay cashed. No, they
- 19:39Speaker 2: would never do that to you. They complete the job
- 19:42Speaker 2: on time. And way better than any standards that anybody
- 19:45Speaker 2: else is going to have. DonovanJorgensen.com. Son of a gun.
- 19:50Speaker 2: I hate that guy right now. That's brutal. That's the
- 19:52Speaker 2: epitome of brutality. He is now numero uno on the
- 19:56Speaker 2: watch list. Corbin Burns moved back. I got one more.
- 20:00Speaker 1: For the who's not, and we can pretty much retire
- 20:03Speaker 1: it after this one.
- 20:04Speaker 2: Who's not hot? Lance Barrett. Home plate umpire yesterday. They
- 20:10Speaker 2: had been so bad. Horrible.
- 20:12Speaker 3: I don't like doing this, but this crew is actually,
- 20:14Speaker 3: I do like it. This crew has been terrible. I mean,
- 20:17Speaker 3: the amount of times they've been getting corrected on ABS challenges,
- 20:20Speaker 3: the check swings, the check swings guys.
- 20:23Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? Some of those sheets that said
- 20:25Speaker 2: all the way around the ridiculous. This is a playoff crew.
- 20:29Speaker 2: Get it right guys. Tighten it up. I get up.
- 20:34Speaker 3: Let the catchers call balls and strikes at this point.
- 20:37Speaker 3: They know his own better than.
- 20:38Speaker 2: You, Blue. He'd have a better chance with the coach
- 20:40Speaker 2: calling it from behind the pitcher's mound. My dad call it.
- 20:44Speaker 2: He knows.
- 20:46Speaker 1: Yeah, he had 10 overturned calls yesterday. He was at 89% accurate.
- 20:51Speaker 2: That is embarrassing. It was horrific. Now, the only bone
- 20:55Speaker 2: that I would have to pick with the challenges, Adam
- 20:57Speaker 2: Amin keeps saying they have two incorrect challenges available.
- 21:01Speaker 3: Right.
- 21:01Speaker 2: No, you only get one incorrect challenge to continue challenging.
- 21:05Speaker 2: I was confused on that too. I was getting messed
- 21:07Speaker 2: up with that one. But you could have given him
- 21:09Speaker 2: 15 challenges yesterday because they needed them all because he
- 21:13Speaker 2: was so bad behind the plate.
- 21:14Speaker 3: There was even one he didn't see Contreras tapping his head.
- 21:17Speaker 3: I'm like, he called for the challenge, guy.
- 21:19Speaker 2: Figure it out. But Yelich stolen base. The whole ball
- 21:21Speaker 2: is in the zone. He's out of the zone and
- 21:24Speaker 2: he calls it a strike. That was brutal.
- 21:27Speaker 3: Horrific.
- 21:28Speaker 2: All right. Dolph is going to be in next. We've
- 21:30Speaker 2: reached halftime. of the program.
- 21:33Speaker 1: It's flying by today because everybody's riding high. I mean,
- 21:37Speaker 1: Hunter probably didn't even need a plane to get to
- 21:38Speaker 1: San Diego. My man's going to be in boarding group
- 21:41Speaker 1: A the way he's feeling.
- 21:42Speaker 2: He's rolling. We're rolling, too. We have a major announcement
- 21:45Speaker 2: coming up at 7 o'clock. Stay tuned. You're in the huddle.
- 21:47Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Back on the huddle. It's halftime.
- 21:52Speaker 1: The Monday edition of the huddle means we visit with
- 21:54Speaker 1: Scott Dolphin from the country station down the hall, FM 1061.
- 21:57Speaker 1: Do you have a voice left after being in the
- 21:58Speaker 1: ballpark for the last two?
- 22:00Speaker 2: I do.
- 22:00Speaker 4: I think if this was Yesterday morning, I probably wouldn't,
- 22:03Speaker 4: but yesterday.
- 22:04Speaker 2: I promise that wasn't a joke. Sorry, your mic's on.
- 22:07Speaker 3: That was not a joke, I promise.
- 22:09Speaker 2: Your mic's on. Sorry. Yeah. That's funny.
- 22:12Speaker 4: But yeah, yesterday was kind of rough, but today I
- 22:14Speaker 4: feel okay. I got to bed early last night. Of course,
- 22:16Speaker 4: Saturday night game, I think I got home at 1230
- 22:19Speaker 4: after we got out of the parking lots.
- 22:21Speaker 1: I was at the game Saturday, and we were doing
- 22:24Speaker 1: Packers OT yesterday. I went to all the press conferences.
- 22:28Speaker 1: I was in the clubhouse. And I waited until they
- 22:31Speaker 1: locked down the club. I was like, okay, no more
- 22:33Speaker 1: media allowed. And then I kind of shuffled out, and
- 22:36Speaker 1: I still got stuck in hellish traffic.
- 22:37Speaker 2: I was just going to say, and it was still loaded?
- 22:39Speaker 2: It was unbelievable. People didn't want to leave, I guess.
- 22:42Speaker 2: I guess so. I mean, it was not moving. And
- 22:43Speaker 2: then it rained.
- 22:45Speaker 4: We're talking about, oh, we got seven straight days of
- 22:47Speaker 4: just beautiful, clear skies.
- 22:48Speaker 2: We walk out Saturday night. What is this? It was
- 22:51Speaker 2: raining and coming down pretty good, by the way.
- 22:52Speaker 3: The funny part is all the people complaining about the
- 22:54Speaker 3: roof being closed. They're like, it was a beautiful night
- 22:56Speaker 3: and walking. I'm like, none of you were there. What
- 22:59Speaker 3: are you talking about?
- 23:00Speaker 2: It's raining right now. And that's the other thing.
- 23:02Speaker 1: Yesterday's game was so memorable that it has already eclipsed
- 23:06Speaker 1: the news cycle of 24 hours of Roofgate.
- 23:08Speaker 2: True. Couldn't even think about it. Yeah.
- 23:09Speaker 1: It's an afterthought that we had this incredible, in 25
- 23:13Speaker 1: years of the ballpark being with Convertible Roof, we had
- 23:15Speaker 1: this moment.
- 23:16Speaker 2: And it's like, I forgot it. Is that the first
- 23:18Speaker 2: time it's ever happened, Drew?
- 23:20Speaker 3: Well, no.
- 23:21Speaker 1: In 2008, in the playoffs, Jason Wirth hit a ball
- 23:24Speaker 1: and ended up being caught by Craig Council at third base.
- 23:26Speaker 1: It looked like it was going to go to the outfield,
- 23:27Speaker 1: kind of a fly ball. It was a monstrous ball,
- 23:30Speaker 1: and it hit the roof, and Council caught it diving
- 23:32Speaker 1: on the infield.
- 23:33Speaker 3: Wow.
- 23:33Speaker 1: When the left fielder's getting ready to catch it, and then.
- 23:36Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, it was like 100
- 23:37Speaker 2: feet away almost.
- 23:38Speaker 3: Yeah. Wow.
- 23:39Speaker 1: Yeah, so that was wild. But this is the first
- 23:42Speaker 1: one where it's like, that ball might have gone out.
- 23:43Speaker 2: We don't know. And then it.
- 23:45Speaker 1: As the umpires were huddling, there was confusion. And Billy
- 23:48Speaker 1: and I were talking about this. Because if you were
- 23:49Speaker 1: watching on television, Dolph, you were in the house. And
- 23:51Speaker 1: people in the stands, I was getting texts from people
- 23:53Speaker 1: who were in the stands.
- 23:53Speaker 2: Like, what's going on? What's going on? That's what I was.
- 23:55Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, no, this doesn't look good. It doesn't
- 23:57Speaker 2: come up. Like, what's the ground rule?
- 23:59Speaker 1: And the ground rules specifically state if the ball hits
- 24:02Speaker 1: any part of the roof in foul territory, it's dead ball.
- 24:05Speaker 2: Yep, dead. Like, you can't catch it. Upon touching.
- 24:08Speaker 1: Yeah, if it touches the ball, if it touches the
- 24:09Speaker 1: roof in foul territory, if it comes down and someone
- 24:11Speaker 1: catches it, it's not an out. It's just a dead ball,
- 24:13Speaker 1: instantly dead ball. If it touches the roof in fair territory,
- 24:17Speaker 1: it's in play. So you can have something where, like,
- 24:20Speaker 1: you know, the council thing, if he hadn't made that catch,
- 24:23Speaker 1: it would have been, like, the highest.
- 24:25Speaker 2: Single. Of all time, probably, yes. Like Richie Sexton's longest
- 24:30Speaker 2: triple of all time down at Minute Maid.
- 24:32Speaker 1: The guys on TV were saying, and I think they
- 24:35Speaker 1: were confused, like there's a rule in Tampa that if
- 24:37Speaker 1: it hits the second ring, it's a home run.
- 24:39Speaker 2: Yes, one of the catwalks is a homer, one of
- 24:41Speaker 2: them's in play.
- 24:42Speaker 1: And then I think they were confused by that, but
- 24:44Speaker 1: I also wondered, because I went back and listened to it,
- 24:47Speaker 1: were they saying that that would have been a home run?
- 24:49Speaker 1: That was a go-ahead homer, like if it hadn't hit
- 24:52Speaker 1: the roof. And so there was confusion, even people watching
- 24:55Speaker 1: at home.
- 24:56Speaker 2: That was the argument I was making. I thought they
- 24:59Speaker 2: were trying to say, if that ball goes through, it's
- 25:02Speaker 2: hitting X-Golf. That ball was as cleanly poked as I
- 25:05Speaker 2: thought you could see one.
- 25:07Speaker 1: I know that there are people pulling up the StatCast
- 25:09Speaker 1: nerds and saying, that would have gone 330 feet.
- 25:10Speaker 2: No, I think it would have been gone. Trust the science.
- 25:13Speaker 2: But then.
- 25:19Speaker 2: We've not had it come up in that moment.
- 25:21Speaker 1: It was a break for the Brewers, no doubt.
- 25:24Speaker 2: I've only looked at it once or twice. Was it
- 25:27Speaker 2: fair or foul? What do you think?
- 25:28Speaker 3: Well, that's the question. I think that's a bigger question
- 25:29Speaker 3: for me. That's harder to tell. But also it's like
- 25:33Speaker 3: it might have hooked foul. But when it hit in
- 25:36Speaker 3: fair territory as it was, you know, yeah, over the pole.
- 25:39Speaker 2: I'm not doing I'm not going anything over any polls
- 25:42Speaker 2: after what I watched on Friday night in Blacksburg, Virginia.
- 25:44Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
- 25:45Speaker 2: Absolutely. Hosed with the field goal going over the pole
- 25:50Speaker 2: would have been good and would have been a game
- 25:52Speaker 2: winner for James Franklin and company. That's I don't know
- 25:54Speaker 2: what you call it at that point.
- 25:55Speaker 4: That was such a freak thing. You know, I feel
- 25:57Speaker 4: bad for them for the loss. But also, was it
- 26:00Speaker 4: a 34-yard field goal?
- 26:01Speaker 2: 34-yard field goal. Kick the damn thing through the uprights.
- 26:03Speaker 2: Put it right through the uprights.
- 26:04Speaker 1: Can't they go down? I mean, everybody talks about, oh,
- 26:06Speaker 1: raise the uprights. Well, then, still, how high do they
- 26:09Speaker 1: have to be? But can't they shoot, like, a beam
- 26:11Speaker 1: of light that you can see?
- 26:12Speaker 2: Thank you, Drew. It's freaking $ 20. 26, we got every
- 26:16Speaker 2: microchip imaginable in this football, and we're talking about some
- 26:20Speaker 2: geezer down here underneath the upright to tell me if
- 26:22Speaker 2: it was good or not. How do I know the
- 26:24Speaker 2: guy's not cross-eyed here in the middle of it?
- 26:26Speaker 3: There should be something to do it, but how high
- 26:29Speaker 3: can you make the uprights? I think about the 65
- 26:31Speaker 3: playoffs where the Packers had the Don Chandler field goal
- 26:34Speaker 3: that people talk about.
- 26:35Speaker 2: Check cashed.
- 26:37Speaker 3: That was good, but some people say it wasn't, but
- 26:39Speaker 3: that's back when the goalposts were like this. You're putting
- 26:42Speaker 3: it in the eyes of a guy who's a high
- 26:43Speaker 3: school principal.
- 26:44Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 26:44Speaker 2: Yeah, what are we doing? That's wild. Unfair to that
- 26:48Speaker 2: young man. You were just this far away from a
- 26:51Speaker 2: Kings weekend. Big time. Had Iowa prevailed over the Buckeyes.
- 26:56Speaker 4: Fortunately and unfortunately for me, yesterday and the day before,
- 26:59Speaker 4: I didn't see a second of football. I was following
- 27:02Speaker 4: on my phone, obviously, in the parking lots, but we
- 27:05Speaker 4: were already tailgating, or we were on our way to
- 27:07Speaker 4: the lots, I guess, when Hank Brown fumbled first.
- 27:10Speaker 2: Play, second play.
- 27:11Speaker 4: I'm like, uh-oh, this isn't going to go well against
- 27:13Speaker 4: this Ohio State team, and you know, they hung around 10,
- 27:16Speaker 4: six for a while in the second quarter.
- 27:18Speaker 2: It wasn't really close in the end. So it makes
- 27:20Speaker 2: you feel better. But the worst part is there's a,
- 27:22Speaker 2: there's a Julian saying fumble when it's 10, six. And there's,
- 27:25Speaker 2: I think two and a half minutes to go in
- 27:27Speaker 2: the first half where it's laying there at the 50
- 27:29Speaker 2: yard line.
- 27:30Speaker 4: Right. Yeah.
- 27:31Speaker 2: Just laying there on the ground. It's clear as day.
- 27:34Speaker 2: They recover that one. Who knows? Because it could have
- 27:36Speaker 2: turned around. But the bad thing is Jeremiah Smith was
- 27:39Speaker 2: on the field. The entire 200 yards receiving, uh, Iowa's
- 27:43Speaker 2: not in their class. I mean, clearly Ohio State. It
- 27:45Speaker 2: looks like the cream of the crop in the Big Ten.
- 27:47Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 27:47Speaker 4: Maybe Indiana has something to say about that. Maybe Northwestern
- 27:50Speaker 4: has something to say about that. Two weeks, that CBS
- 27:52Speaker 4: game is going to be wild with Ohio State and Indiana. And,
- 27:56Speaker 4: you know, the sad thing is that game's going to
- 27:59Speaker 4: go on at 2.30, and there's going to be people
- 28:02Speaker 4: in America that decide to get married on October 17th.
- 28:06Speaker 2: Right in the middle of that game. It's cheaper, right?
- 28:09Speaker 2: Like right in the middle of that game. That's going
- 28:12Speaker 2: to be a wild, wild thought. Smith is going to
- 28:14Speaker 2: have to be the first guy since Keyshawn Johnson to
- 28:16Speaker 2: be the wide receiver taking number one. Without a doubt.
- 28:19Speaker 2: Best player in college football. He's going to be the
- 28:20Speaker 2: number one overall pick. Anybody goes before him, I would
- 28:24Speaker 2: be just stunned.
- 28:26Speaker 1: We've already launched game balls and kicks to the balls.
- 28:28Speaker 1: You can get them to us, 877-794-1973. Can we give
- 28:32Speaker 1: a kick to the NFC North for one of the
- 28:34Speaker 1: uglier three and one slates?
- 28:39Speaker 2: Packers game was ugly. Hit that again, Armin. Maybe hangover.
- 28:45Speaker 1: I mean, the Packers struggled. The Lions lose at Carolina.
- 28:48Speaker 1: And then, like, the Vikings, 15 points against the Dolphins.
- 28:52Speaker 2: 15 points. No touchdowns. Why don't they ever lose either,
- 28:55Speaker 2: you know?
- 28:56Speaker 1: And Dolphs Bears, maybe they got dragged into the mud
- 28:58Speaker 1: in the battle of former teammate coordinators.
- 29:00Speaker 2: The Bears look the best of anybody. The Jets, you know,
- 29:04Speaker 2: they scrapped. They're horrible. They're horrible, but they scrapped, and
- 29:06Speaker 2: the Bears weren't great. When I saw that, I'm like, okay, 23-12.
- 29:09Speaker 4: But then I got to look at the stats, and
- 29:11Speaker 4: I went, oh, well, the Bears had 34 first downs
- 29:14Speaker 4: to seven.
- 29:14Speaker 3: Well, they actually looked– and the thing is, they're obviously
- 29:17Speaker 3: playing with Bajent.
- 29:18Speaker 2: They didn't go with Case. Right.
- 29:20Speaker 4: And that's Ben Johnson saying, I can put anybody out
- 29:22Speaker 4: there and you can't stop it.
- 29:23Speaker 2: I mean, that's just his ego. Oh, man. And I
- 29:28Speaker 2: want to hate it, but God, do I love it.
- 29:31Speaker 2: That's impressive stuff to just say, no, I'm going to
- 29:34Speaker 2: win it with anybody. And they also spotted the Jets
- 29:37Speaker 2: their first interception in over 650 games. Wow. One of
- 29:41Speaker 2: the worst, worst numbers of all time ends for Aaron
- 29:45Speaker 2: Glenn in a game that he loses the Johnson them.
- 29:48Speaker 2: And I liked that. He set the, set the tenor
- 29:51Speaker 2: early because it's now bears week, this Buccaneers game, as
- 29:54Speaker 2: much as we're talking about it, not much talking about,
- 29:56Speaker 2: but yeah, Put that thing to bed. Now it's Bears week,
- 29:59Speaker 2: and now the thing really starts up here. Anything can happen.
- 30:01Speaker 2: Anything can happen. I expect anything to happen.
- 30:05Speaker 3: Because at some point, this Ben Johnson small, you know
- 30:08Speaker 3: what energy is going to collapse on him, and I'm
- 30:10Speaker 3: here for it. Might not be this year. Might not
- 30:12Speaker 3: be five years. But it's going to happen one day,
- 30:13Speaker 3: and I'll be here for it. And that's just the
- 30:15Speaker 3: reality of the situation.
- 30:17Speaker 1: So that was a grinding victory by the Bears. They
- 30:20Speaker 1: grounded out Aaron Glenn. I mean, they had their backup
- 30:23Speaker 1: running back run it for 150 yards.
- 30:24Speaker 3: It's a pretty good day at the office.
- 30:28Speaker 2: They're a good team. They can run the ball. For sure. Yeah.
- 30:31Speaker 1: I mean, and they did. And the Jets are bad.
- 30:33Speaker 1: But that was like, yeah, it was a grinder.
- 30:35Speaker 3: Is there any trepidation for them when Caleb comes back?
- 30:38Speaker 3: Or no, because they've been using Case and Tyson. You
- 30:41Speaker 3: mean like to put him back in the lineup? Like
- 30:43Speaker 3: that it's like that they get worse when they put
- 30:45Speaker 3: Caleb Williams into the game? Not necessarily worse, but he's
- 30:48Speaker 3: a different kind of quarterback than these guys. Ben Johnson probably.
- 30:50Speaker 2: Thinks, all right, these are back. How many points did
- 30:53Speaker 2: they score in week one? How many did they score
- 30:54Speaker 2: in week two?
- 30:56Speaker 1: Armin, why don't you go into the caller ID and
- 30:59Speaker 1: the history here of this text line. Call Charles in
- 31:02Speaker 1: Arkdale and see if Malik Willis should have started for
- 31:04Speaker 1: the Packers last year when Jordan Love came back.
- 31:06Speaker 3: That was his thing. Charles in Arkdale. You're Charles in
- 31:08Speaker 3: Arkdale-ing the Bears, dude.
- 31:10Speaker 2: We've got to trade Jordan now while we can. You
- 31:11Speaker 2: don't sit your quarterback. I'm with you. Backups are backups.
- 31:17Speaker 2: The problem is, Armin, he's really good. I know that
- 31:20Speaker 2: this is a problem. They're winning. He's really, really good.
- 31:25Speaker 2: We can win with anybody. Keenum, Bajent, doesn't matter. No, Armin.
- 31:29Speaker 2: Caleb Williams is their quarterback. QB1 is QB1. I'm not, okay, yeah,
- 31:33Speaker 2: he is there. You're just asked off if there's going
- 31:36Speaker 2: to be any controversy. Because they played well without him.
- 31:39Speaker 3: Yes.
- 31:40Speaker 2: Okay, then Caleb's in. So Malik Willis should have replaced
- 31:42Speaker 2: Jordan Love. I don't think it's the same. Yeah, it is. Yeah,
- 31:48Speaker 2: it is. Okay, so this is Steve. Kick to the
- 31:50Speaker 2: balls for Ben Johnson because he's Ben Johnson. I like
- 31:53Speaker 2: that one, Steve. I'm kicking Armand to the balls right
- 31:56Speaker 2: now for that. All right, fine. Kick me out.
- 31:58Speaker 1: We're even thinking that the Bears would think about, oh,
- 32:01Speaker 1: we're rolling with this backup.
- 32:02Speaker 2: Let's not play QB1. They play different. That's all I'm saying.
- 32:06Speaker 2: They play different.
- 32:07Speaker 4: They also took advantage of the schedule, Armand. When you
- 32:10Speaker 4: look at, you got the Phillies that are, Yes. Still
- 32:13Speaker 4: trying to find themselves. And then, you know, the one
- 32:16Speaker 4: question mark was the rainstorm lost to the Vikings.
- 32:18Speaker 2: I don't know how. Well, turnovers killed them there. I mean, yeah.
- 32:21Speaker 2: And I mean, still, they had, what, three trips into
- 32:23Speaker 2: the red zone. I mean, they move the ball on
- 32:25Speaker 2: the Vikings. First to go to one. And that Eagles
- 32:28Speaker 2: game looks a lot different. If that that win against
- 32:31Speaker 2: the Eagles, 27-7 with Case Keenum on the field looks
- 32:34Speaker 2: a lot better. If the Eagles finish the last eight
- 32:37Speaker 2: minutes of the game and don't Packers all over themselves.
- 32:40Speaker 2: I mean, goodness gracious, blowing that lead to the Rams yesterday.
- 32:43Speaker 2: That was devastating for them. And for the Rams might
- 32:48Speaker 2: have been a season saver. Just about a two and
- 32:51Speaker 2: two now. We also I know you didn't watch the
- 32:55Speaker 2: Packers because you were at the.
- 32:57Speaker 4: The neighbors in the tailgating lot, shout out to Frank
- 33:01Speaker 4: and Jason. They had the TV rolling and the big
- 33:05Speaker 4: speakers on. So we were able to watch some of
- 33:08Speaker 4: the Packers game anyway. We should probably give a game
- 33:10Speaker 4: ball to Jonathan Gannon.
- 33:12Speaker 2: Well done.
- 33:13Speaker 1: And Evan Williams for sending Evan Williams on the last
- 33:15Speaker 1: three plays and locking it down. But then a kick.
- 33:21Speaker 1: But then a kick to injuries in Edger and Cooper's.
- 33:24Speaker 2: That's tough. Done for the year. That is absolutely brutal.
- 33:28Speaker 2: They are. And also, I did see yesterday. We'll talk
- 33:31Speaker 2: about it going forward. The tense moment at the podium.
- 33:36Speaker 2: We talked about it a little bit on postgame yesterday
- 33:38Speaker 2: when Matt was asked, how can you do whatever you
- 33:42Speaker 2: want to do this year without Edger Cooper? He goes,
- 33:44Speaker 2: I don't know, Pete. I don't know. I don't know, Pete.
- 33:46Speaker 2: I don't know. Because in all reality, guys, we ask
- 33:49Speaker 2: these dudes to be honest in key moments. I think
- 33:52Speaker 2: that was as brutally honest as you can be. I
- 33:54Speaker 2: don't know. I found out 20 minutes ago that he's
- 33:56Speaker 2: out for the year. We'll figure it out.
- 33:58Speaker 4: And more than any other coach, maybe he will show
- 34:00Speaker 4: you how he feels probably more than he's going to say.
- 34:02Speaker 4: I mean, that's a dude that wears his heart on
- 34:04Speaker 4: his sleeve when it comes to his emotions with his
- 34:06Speaker 4: football team.
- 34:06Speaker 2: That's right. Oh, my goodness. Dolph, my favorite question, most
- 34:11Speaker 2: important one, tailgate back-to-back days. Did we go with the
- 34:14Speaker 2: same spread? Did we change it up? What was on
- 34:17Speaker 2: the menu for the tail? Cause it, I drove down
- 34:20Speaker 2: yesterday to our favorite place in the whole wide world,
- 34:22Speaker 2: the Pottawatomie sports book. It's about nine 30 in the morning.
- 34:26Speaker 2: There were, I counted 20 cars lined up waiting to
- 34:31Speaker 2: get into the tailgate. One of them, you were, I
- 34:34Speaker 2: think we were eighth in line yesterday to get into
- 34:36Speaker 2: the tail. What time did you guys get there? And
- 34:38Speaker 2: then what was on the menu? We got there.
- 34:39Speaker 4: We met at 10.30, so we were in the queue
- 34:42Speaker 4: before 11.
- 34:43Speaker 2: That is impressive. In the queue, I loved it.
- 34:45Speaker 4: In the queue, I loved it. The queue, which is
- 34:47Speaker 4: now called the Platinum Lot. That used to be the
- 34:49Speaker 4: Rideshare Lot at AmFam. Now it's the Platinum Lot. I
- 34:52Speaker 4: don't know what those people paid to park there. It's
- 34:53Speaker 4: probably $ 100 for... It's the Platinum Lot. It's hilarious. The
- 34:58Speaker 4: poor Rideshare people, they... jettisoned them all the way out all.
- 35:01Speaker 2: The way into that back old general almost up on
- 35:03Speaker 2: blue mound yes yeah you gotta hike now man but
- 35:06Speaker 2: that's all right money money's.
- 35:07Speaker 4: Probably the right way to do it though it is
- 35:09Speaker 4: but as far as food goes billy we pack like
- 35:11Speaker 4: we usually get some subs or sandwiches uh but our
- 35:14Speaker 4: neighbors were amazing both days i mean saturday we had
- 35:17Speaker 4: two brothers one lives in chicago one lives in green
- 35:19Speaker 4: bay now and uh they were cooking everything from pork
- 35:23Speaker 4: chops yeah so they shared with us yes and then
- 35:26Speaker 4: uh and then yesterday the neighbors were offering us uh
- 35:28Speaker 4: Brandy old fashions and giant sausages.
- 35:31Speaker 2: That's amazing. No pause. No pause. That is what I
- 35:35Speaker 2: am talking. That is America right there in Wisconsin. You
- 35:39Speaker 2: talking about at the game? Yeah. You take it with
- 35:40Speaker 2: your neighbors? That's awesome.
- 35:41Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 35:42Speaker 2: Do you guys go together? No, our neighbors are in
- 35:45Speaker 2: the parking lot. We just met for the first time
- 35:47Speaker 2: yesterday and Saturday. Sorry, I totally misinterpreted that. I thought
- 35:49Speaker 2: you meant you and your neighbors. Were you listening? Are
- 35:51Speaker 2: you yelling at people on the YouTube stream? I didn't
- 35:54Speaker 2: say neighbors. I did say neighbors. I did. I wasn't
- 35:57Speaker 2: thinking right. You meant your parking lot neighbors. I'm sorry.
- 35:59Speaker 4: Yeah, but it was– you can't– somebody that's not from here,
- 36:02Speaker 4: it's hard to explain tailgating.
- 36:04Speaker 2: No, I get it now. No, they will not. They
- 36:06Speaker 2: won't necessarily understand it. It's either in the Midwest or
- 36:09Speaker 2: in the South because those SEC tailgates look like it
- 36:13Speaker 2: is as neighborly as you can possibly get. Yeah, good point.
- 36:15Speaker 4: You throw a tent up, you can party. Very few
- 36:18Speaker 4: Padre fans in the stands yesterday. I think I only
- 36:20Speaker 4: saw one. Saturday night there were a few. You saw
- 36:23Speaker 4: them getting up and clapping in the bleachers and in
- 36:25Speaker 4: the loge level, but for the most part it was–
- 36:27Speaker 4: There wasn't anybody there that wasn't wearing blue and yellow.
- 36:30Speaker 2: It was pretty wild. Pretty wild.
- 36:32Speaker 1: It's going to be a great ride. Dolph, thank you
- 36:34Speaker 1: for joining us. Appreciate it. As always, we will return
- 36:37Speaker 1: to our normal festivities. Reminder, an announcement of some significance
- 36:41Speaker 1: coming up at 7 a.m.
- 36:42Speaker 2: Here in the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Oh, that's sweet.
- 36:50Speaker 1: We are huddled up on a glorious Monday in the
- 36:54Speaker 1: good land. Wayne Larvey is going to join the party.
- 36:57Speaker 1: After about 730.
- 36:58Speaker 2: That's right. Very excited to be able to discuss somebody.
- 37:02Speaker 2: And the heat. Because Drew, he was suffering. He had
- 37:05Speaker 2: said it in there. He mentioned, he's like, I got
- 37:06Speaker 2: some empathy for these players. It is hot down there.
- 37:09Speaker 2: Larry's like, nice for you to say.
- 37:11Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 37:11Speaker 2: Sitting in here in your air conditioned booth. Yeah. Although
- 37:15Speaker 2: it wasn't. We opened the window. We're kind of feeling it.
- 37:17Speaker 3: My sources in the booth said it was still pretty
- 37:19Speaker 3: warm because the way the booth was configured and where
- 37:22Speaker 3: the vent was for the AC, it kept it cool, obviously.
- 37:25Speaker 3: But it was still humid up there, and the gaffer's
- 37:28Speaker 3: tape wasn't even getting stuck for the wires.
- 37:31Speaker 2: It was hard up there for these guys to deal with.
- 37:33Speaker 3: It was a struggle.
- 37:33Speaker 2: Goodness gracious. Oh, my goodness. Well, everyone made it through,
- 37:36Speaker 2: you know? Yep. Everyone made it through. Yep.
- 37:39Speaker 1: Still basking in the glow of Jack Centurio's at bat
- 37:41Speaker 1: for the ages, and the Brewers' victory is one of those...
- 37:45Speaker 1: I mean, for most people, that's in your top five
- 37:47Speaker 1: of all-time Wisconsin sports games, singular games. Now, there have
- 37:51Speaker 1: been bigger games and bigger outcomes. But, man, for most people,
- 37:55Speaker 1: in a singular game, that inning especially was absolutely incredible.
- 37:59Speaker 2: My friends and I automatically started fighting. Was it top five? Oh,
- 38:02Speaker 2: I like that.
- 38:02Speaker 3: Was it a top five game in Brewers' playoff history?
- 38:05Speaker 3: I said it probably was, but it might be close
- 38:07Speaker 3: if you start really thinking about all the games. But
- 38:09Speaker 3: recency bias is part of that, but we were talking
- 38:11Speaker 3: about that last night. I have some buddies tonight.
- 38:12Speaker 2: I mean, yeah. Well, the short list. Game five of
- 38:15Speaker 2: the ALCS.
- 38:17Speaker 3: 82.
- 38:17Speaker 2: I'd say 11 NLDS has got to be.
- 38:19Speaker 3: There, too.
- 38:19Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a serious clincher. It's your first serious clincher
- 38:22Speaker 2: since the ALCS of 82. So, yeah.
- 38:25Speaker 3: I think game one of the 18 LCS with Woodruff,
- 38:29Speaker 3: that moment.
- 38:29Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a big one.
- 38:32Speaker 3: But this is probably in there. Five or four, maybe,
- 38:34Speaker 3: in that mix kind of thing. It'll be one that
- 38:36Speaker 3: continues to get played.
- 38:37Speaker 2: And that highlight that you played coming back from ESPN
- 38:39Speaker 2: Radio at Book Shambi is... It's awesome to hear the
- 38:43Speaker 2: variety of different calls here. How many different people had their,
- 38:48Speaker 2: their different imprint on it. We can play most of them.
- 38:50Speaker 2: We obviously can't play the one that was, was here,
- 38:53Speaker 2: but I'm very happy drew that we are in a
- 38:56Speaker 2: day and age where the announcer cam is now a thing.
- 38:59Speaker 2: It's not necessarily main character syndrome, but it's, we just
- 39:04Speaker 2: want to see if these guys are reacting to, As
- 39:07Speaker 2: much as we are. And Boog Shambi standing up in
- 39:09Speaker 2: that call, that was phenomenal.
- 39:11Speaker 1: And that's the thing. And for everybody, the announcer hates
- 39:15Speaker 1: your team. Boog Shambi's the Cubs guy.
- 39:17Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 39:18Speaker 2: He just loves games. He's one of his best friends
- 39:20Speaker 2: on the planet is the Cubs manager.
- 39:22Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
- 39:23Speaker 1: Who, by the way, how about that guy coming home
- 39:27Speaker 1: after a disappointing season and being in the middle of
- 39:28Speaker 1: all this?
- 39:29Speaker 2: He's got to sit through it.
- 39:31Speaker 3: Pat was his mentor and the players as much as
- 39:33Speaker 3: we think about the fan part of that he's got
- 39:36Speaker 3: to be happy for some of these guys too craig
- 39:37Speaker 3: i would think some of the.
- 39:39Speaker 1: Players no sure i mean yeah sure the i'd like
- 39:41Speaker 1: to think yeah i mean sure some of them willie
- 39:44Speaker 1: adamas probably feels better for him Right.
- 39:47Speaker 2: Like you can think of the players might feel better
- 39:50Speaker 2: for the other players. Yeah.
- 39:51Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
- 39:51Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah. Okay.
- 39:53Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 39:53Speaker 2: Willie. Yeah. I don't know.
- 39:55Speaker 1: But yeah, it's fascinating on all levels, but book Shambi,
- 39:59Speaker 1: like he's a professional. And when BA calls games and
- 40:02Speaker 1: like BA oversold that Dodgers, like, no, he didn't.
- 40:04Speaker 2: He's being a professional. He's doing his job. There were
- 40:07Speaker 2: Dodger fans that were all made. Well, you listen to
- 40:09Speaker 2: Teoscar Hernandez home run in game two and tell me
- 40:12Speaker 2: that was how you celebrate a call. Yeah, exactly. It's
- 40:15Speaker 2: the best. Fans rock.
- 40:17Speaker 1: We've got an announcement of some significance. Wake up your
- 40:20Speaker 1: friends if they're not up yet. It's coming up. You're
- 40:22Speaker 1: in the huddle.
- 40:23Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
