0:45
Speaker 1: was not bad. It doesn't suck. It doesn't suck.
0:48
Speaker 2: Especially in the hours that we work now we don't
0:52
Speaker 2: encounter a lot of traffic.
0:53
Speaker 1: Yesterday was obviously I decided to stay.
0:55
Speaker 2: Home a little different. Yeah, half because I didn't want
0:57
Speaker 2: to drive in the snow, and half because I wanted
0:59
Speaker 2: to day up late Sunday night and watch the little baseball.
1:02
Speaker 2: But I could I could see doing it, just not
1:06
Speaker 2: every day. You know, I never questioned your grind.
1:08
Speaker 3: I never would, Drew, you're one of the greats in
1:10
Speaker 3: Milwaukee media history, and your reputation stands for itself. I
1:15
Speaker 3: would never question the grind, the ethic. But I did wonder.
1:19
Speaker 3: I wonder after.
1:20
Speaker 1: Yesterday, we'll see Drew today in the studio. I wonder if.
1:23
Speaker 2: I'd I'd get the word I just you know you,
1:25

1:31
Speaker 2: Billy's the you know, our alignment. He puts his arms
1:33
Speaker 2: up to huddle. There's a lot of times you don't know.
1:36
Speaker 2: You don't know what's ten yards.
1:38
Speaker 4: The work, the work from home is a fun deal
1:41
Speaker 4: now as somebody that ended up doing it for an
1:43
Speaker 4: extended period of time, this job makes it very tough
1:47
Speaker 4: because there's a there's a level of focus and attention,
1:50
Speaker 4: and knowing the snacks are right there makes it a
1:53
Speaker 4: lot more difficult.
1:54
Speaker 1: Snacks are way better at home. Uh.
1:55
Speaker 4: The accessibility to an elongated bathroom break are a lot longer.
2:00
Speaker 4: You really start figuring out how quickly you got to
2:02
Speaker 4: get from point A to point B.
2:03
Speaker 2: It's very convenient, but it's also I don't think I
2:06
Speaker 2: could do it like I just you get stir crazy.
2:09
Speaker 2: Got My wife works every day and at home, works
2:12
Speaker 2: out of the house every day, and it's like, I
2:15
Speaker 2: don't think I could do it every day.
2:16
Speaker 1: But it's nice.
2:17
Speaker 2: And you know, Dolph has been talking about you gotta
2:21
Speaker 2: go out. If you get a nap, you gotta go
2:22
Speaker 2: out with your buddy. You've gotta go see the concerts.
2:24
Speaker 2: You gotta just resign yourself to the fact that some
2:26
Speaker 2: nights you're going to get three hours of sleep. Well
2:29
Speaker 2: on those nights, I will be broadcasting from Saley Olsen matter.
2:32
Speaker 4: The good thing is, it was a hell of a
2:34
Speaker 4: nice trial run to like, okay, sweet, this is uh
2:37
Speaker 4: isn't as easy as I.
2:38
Speaker 1: Thought it was. It could be a lot more.
2:42
Speaker 2: Acies the distractions, the snacks, the meals, Like we wake
2:46
Speaker 2: up and by the time we wake up, our show's
2:48
Speaker 2: over pretty much.
2:49
Speaker 1: It's really.
2:52
Speaker 2: You know, it was perfect and I was able to
2:54
Speaker 2: just get off the get out of the home office
2:56
Speaker 2: and turn it over to my wife. And that's her domain.
2:58
Speaker 2: I'm not I was an in loper. I was using
3:02
Speaker 2: her office like as a hotel for one day and
3:05
Speaker 2: you know, staying in airbnb. But I'll do it. But
3:08
Speaker 2: it's like I would go crazy. I couldn't imagine getting
3:11
Speaker 2: to five thirty and having looked at my computer all day,
3:15
Speaker 2: which a lot of people do, but looked at my
3:17
Speaker 2: computer all day and had like a total of seven
3:19
Speaker 2: hundred steps.
3:20
Speaker 1: That's tough.
3:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really really you You gotta get out and
3:24
Speaker 2: move around, and your body's got to move, and you
3:26
Speaker 2: gotta just like the idea that you could go a
3:28
Speaker 2: whole day and not move around, you know.
3:30
Speaker 1: The panda tough.
3:31
Speaker 3: The pandemic was tough for a lot of people for
3:33
Speaker 3: many reasons. And obviously, you know, people got the disease,
3:37
Speaker 3: you know, the COVID disease and struggle with that. But
3:39
Speaker 3: it was tough for a lot of people for many reasons,
3:41
Speaker 3: one being I think, you know, being insulated that much,
3:45
Speaker 3: and so many had to work from home and work
3:47
Speaker 3: from home, and that had a negative effect on a
3:50
Speaker 3: lot of people's mentals, you know. And I was always
3:52
Speaker 3: kind of thankful that I was in a way, I
3:54
Speaker 3: didn't have a choice, like I always kind of you know,
3:56
Speaker 3: our jobs, some of us could, some didn't have to
3:58
Speaker 3: add the card, as you know, And I always came
4:01
Speaker 3: into the studio every day, you know, and safely in
4:03
Speaker 3: those things. But it gives you. It gave you a
4:06
Speaker 3: sense of normalcy and a sense of every day and
4:09
Speaker 3: a sense of connection with the with the world around
4:12
Speaker 3: you to get up, get out, get get somewhere, go somewhere.
4:15
Speaker 3: You know, it's a lot of people debate work from
4:17
Speaker 3: office and office returns and a lot of businesses and hybrid.
4:20
Speaker 1: It really was. It really was a good thing.
4:22
Speaker 3: And I think that really helped me, at least personally,
4:25
Speaker 3: knowing I was gonna be going somewhere every day, going outside,
4:28
Speaker 3: going into a process, a routine. And you're right, I
4:31
Speaker 3: mean the steps, the things like that. You know, it's
4:34
Speaker 3: it's one of those things where it's like it it
4:36
Speaker 3: is convenient sometimes to be at home, but man, it
4:38
Speaker 3: is nice to get out and it's good for your body,
4:41
Speaker 3: good for your whole self to be out there and
4:42
Speaker 3: you know, be doing something in the steps.
4:45
Speaker 4: I mean, you don't have to necessarily be Dolf. You
4:46
Speaker 4: got a got a whole planned out route where you
4:48
Speaker 4: walk through. Now, speaking of that, how do you think
4:51
Speaker 4: Doll's gonna handle this thing today? Because Dolph's on a
4:53
Speaker 4: remote now. They don't they don't fire themselves up outside
4:56
Speaker 4: of the office all that much. Necessarily morning shows don't
4:59
Speaker 4: all that much. How is he gonna track his eight
5:01
Speaker 4: thousand steps during the show? Is he just gonna walk
5:04
Speaker 4: back and forth to the bar left and right during every.
5:06
Speaker 2: Single Probably the case, smart, I mean where he's gonna
5:10
Speaker 2: have to do it at the mall afterwards or something.
5:11
Speaker 2: You could join Arman. That's Southward's Malls Day. Kelly's Bleachers
5:15
Speaker 2: in wind Lake today. That's two right edition, Kelly's Bleachers too.
5:19
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, that sounds right, Yeah, that sounds right.
5:22
Speaker 2: And then there's a third one. I think that one's
5:24
Speaker 2: the one out in wakashaw I. Uh, Saint Patrick's Day
5:28
Speaker 2: is one that man, if you give her on Saint
5:31
Speaker 2: Patrick's Day, congratulations to you because it is a fun,
5:35
Speaker 2: fun time. But once it hits about two thirty, that's
5:38
Speaker 2: when you really start questioning, why on earth did I
5:40
Speaker 2: take off of work to suck down Green.
5:42
Speaker 1: Miller Like all day long.
5:43
Speaker 3: It's a fun day, it's also gonna be a long
5:45
Speaker 3: day if you're not prepared for it, if you're not
5:47
Speaker 3: ready for it, if you're getting up early in the morning.
5:49
Speaker 3: So I had to agree, Billy, Yeah, that's one of
5:52
Speaker 3: those days where I think those that you know now
5:55
Speaker 3: the schedule we're on can maybe relate to us a bit,
5:57
Speaker 3: being like, man, I am kind of ready for that
5:59
Speaker 3: nap and eleven o'clock hits a.
6:01
Speaker 4: Noon his, Well, they're just not watching the playing games tonight,
6:03
Speaker 4: Like if you're out, if you're out at Kelly's bleacher
6:06
Speaker 4: this morning or any other fine establishment, I think Texas
6:11
Speaker 4: and NC State is gonna be a tough watch tonight
6:12
Speaker 4: like that that might be tough. Tipping off closer to
6:15
Speaker 4: eight thirty here for this one like.
6:17
Speaker 1: That one that might not happen for you.
6:19
Speaker 4: That might not happen for you, but it give This
6:22
Speaker 4: week does with it starting with Saint Patrick's Day on Tuesday, Drew,
6:25
Speaker 4: It's pretty sure championship on Tuesday tonight WBC, but also
6:30
Speaker 4: into Thursday and Friday. It sure does allow for somebody
6:34
Speaker 4: maybe have a real Irish heritage to do the staycation,
6:38
Speaker 4: drink caation and just make sure that they take this
6:40
Speaker 4: whole week off to celebrate and enjoy and maybe not
6:43
Speaker 4: leave their house at all.
6:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'd be a pretty good spring break. Just stay home,
6:48
Speaker 2: really give it. Saturday, have a Sunday, fun day, be
6:50
Speaker 2: off yesterday during the snow day.
6:52
Speaker 1: Uh huh, today fire up again, and then you're right.
6:54
Speaker 1: Wednesday calibration Day.
6:56
Speaker 2: Well, Thursday, Fridays, Thursday Friday our destination Sports Thursday Friday
7:01
Speaker 2: are back to back Super Bowl Sundays.
7:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say it's close to that. Yeah. Basically.
7:06
Speaker 2: In fact, if you had to skip one, would just
7:08
Speaker 2: skip Super Bowl Sunday or the first weekend of the tournament.
7:11
Speaker 1: That's a bad question, ask me. Yeah, I know, you get.
7:15
Speaker 1: I think it's unfair. We get Sunday off too.
7:18
Speaker 4: All the props and stuff. I mean, yeah, definitely would
7:21
Speaker 4: be Super Bowl for me. But this is one that
7:25
Speaker 4: if they put the Super Bowl in the middle of
7:26
Speaker 4: the week, then it would be a question they've thrown
7:29
Speaker 4: this thing. On Thursday and I was listening to Nolan
7:32
Speaker 4: winter with with Butchy on Butchy's Den.
7:35
Speaker 1: They talked.
7:36
Speaker 4: He talked about just knowing and thinking about all of
7:39
Speaker 4: the players that are playing in this most of them, no,
7:42
Speaker 4: I don't know as much with Nil and transfer and
7:45
Speaker 4: then aau Ball throughout their entire upbringing. But Drew all
7:49
Speaker 4: these kids that are gonna be playing this weekend grew
7:51
Speaker 4: up and when they were twelve years old. They printed off,
7:53
Speaker 4: as Doug Russell said, tested out the toner on that printer,
7:57
Speaker 4: and they had twenty different brackets filling it all out.
8:00
Speaker 4: This is there's a specialness to this weekend that that's
8:02
Speaker 4: hard to beat. For sportsman, about a thousand kids.
8:05
Speaker 3: I mean, if you think of sixty eight teams and
8:07
Speaker 3: let's assume fifteen players per team. There's more for some
8:10
Speaker 3: with walk ons and things. That's a thousand kids living
8:12
Speaker 3: out their dreams, being part of something.
8:13
Speaker 1: That they've always wanted to be a part of.
8:15
Speaker 3: And you know, there are a lot of kids playing
8:17
Speaker 3: from schools that never get any attention, any love, any
8:21
Speaker 3: sort of you know, they you know, as you know,
8:24
Speaker 3: but those quaint notion hold on, no one's.
8:27
Speaker 1: Watching, no one watches the Big West.
8:29
Speaker 2: No one's getting high point. Yeah, but on campus and stuff,
8:32
Speaker 2: they're getting paid.
8:33
Speaker 1: Okay, some kids.
8:36
Speaker 3: I don't know if at Prairie View A and M
8:38
Speaker 3: they are, but yeah, there are some kids getting paid indeed.
8:41
Speaker 3: So uh but the notion, but listen, it's pretty It
8:44
Speaker 3: is maybe a quaint notion these days more than it
8:46
Speaker 3: used to be, I agree, but it is still pretty
8:48
Speaker 3: cool to know that those dreams are being fulfilled all
8:50
Speaker 3: across the country. And when we talk about the NCAA tournament,
8:53
Speaker 3: how great it is, we're really we're talking about the
8:55
Speaker 3: first two days, right, It's all about the first two days.
8:58
Speaker 3: And for me, it's Thursday night. The excitement of Thursday night,
9:01
Speaker 3: knowing we just had a banger of a day and
9:02
Speaker 3: we're doing it all the way again tomorrow. The party's
9:05
Speaker 3: gonna keep going on.
9:06
Speaker 1: So the dinner break is your favorite part.
9:08
Speaker 4: I just love knowing that, like or like last game,
9:11
Speaker 4: you're waiting to hear Spiro Deeds call the final game
9:15
Speaker 4: of a three fourteen and then you know that you
9:17
Speaker 4: get to wake up and do it all over again.
9:19
Speaker 3: Because, as you guys might know about me, I'm a
9:21
Speaker 3: May guy. I'm not a September or October guy, because
9:24
Speaker 3: I'm excited for what's to come.
9:25
Speaker 1: Sleeping man.
9:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, Friday night, not Saturday night. I love the first
9:30
Speaker 3: day vacation, not the last. That's always the depressing part.
9:33
Speaker 3: I like knowing I still have the buffet in front
9:35
Speaker 3: of me, So Thursday night is the most exciting time.
9:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, I uh drew that there's certain times where you
9:40
Speaker 4: realize that what we do sometimes goes past certain individuals, right,
9:44
Speaker 4: I got I got to ask probably three times yesterday. Hey,
9:47
Speaker 4: uh so do you think they'll have the games on
9:50
Speaker 4: it at the Potawatami Sports Book?
9:51
Speaker 1: Right? Oh my, oh my, excuse me, yes me, Yeah,
9:56
Speaker 1: they will have the games on. They'll have every single
9:58
Speaker 1: one of them.
9:58
Speaker 4: You probably could have had and should have had a
10:00
Speaker 4: spot reserve for maybe like two or three weeks.
10:02
Speaker 1: Now, ask you, but palms on palm Sunday?
10:07
Speaker 4: I was. I actually, I there's certain times where you
10:10
Speaker 4: think people are pranking you, and I thought I was
10:11
Speaker 4: getting branks. They'll have every game on, They'll have every
10:14
Speaker 4: single bit of it on. Now, it'll be difficult to
10:16
Speaker 4: be able to find your way into the sports book.
10:18
Speaker 4: This is one that maybe takes a little bit more
10:20
Speaker 4: planning ahead to be able to be in that spot.
10:24
Speaker 4: But uh, the whatever bar you're gonna take over, or
10:27
Speaker 4: if you're turning in your basement into a sports bar
10:29
Speaker 4: Thursday Friday is going to be Uh. There's a reason
10:32
Speaker 4: why vasectomy clinics do their biggest work here today.
10:34
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, eight seven three gets you to the nicolay
10:38
Speaker 1: lot dot com talking text.
10:40
Speaker 2: I hope everybody's shoveled out of their respective homes, you
10:44
Speaker 2: guys now with the uh you know, the city plow
10:47
Speaker 2: you in at all create more work for you at
10:49
Speaker 2: the end of the driveway.
10:50
Speaker 4: Uh, not not at my house, but uh when I
10:52
Speaker 4: went over and did some uh did the the servitude
10:55
Speaker 4: over at my folks place?
10:56
Speaker 1: And the name of the Snowbird Central, could jop me
10:59
Speaker 1: get this one?
11:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, we'll go over there, and probably should
11:01
Speaker 4: have went and checked out and made sure that the
11:03
Speaker 4: plows didn't pack it all the way in, but they're
11:05
Speaker 4: not coming back for a month. Uh. It was uh, yeah,
11:07
Speaker 4: it was a heavier beat, deep beast than I was
11:10
Speaker 4: anticipating yesterday, Drew, But it wasn't as much the snow
11:14
Speaker 4: removal that that took me to task, which was the inability.
11:20
Speaker 1: And this is a really, really tough thing to say.
11:21
Speaker 1: Oh dude, I can't make a snowman. Listen, I had
11:24
Speaker 1: the same situation, Billy. I can't believe you just said that.
11:28
Speaker 4: I was trying so hard yesterday and the pressure was on,
11:32
Speaker 4: right there's the shot clock was on because wow, I
11:36
Speaker 4: had already been out for a good two hours going
11:39
Speaker 4: to do two different things, and.
11:40
Speaker 1: Man, it was good packing snow. Well, I thought what
11:42
Speaker 1: I thought.
11:42
Speaker 4: Every single push pack up, fall down, roll pack up
11:47
Speaker 4: fall down. I mean, I the the inability to make
11:50
Speaker 4: a legitimate good snowman yesterday was a was a frustration
11:54
Speaker 4: that I don't know that I was expecting I'd have
11:57
Speaker 4: this level.
11:58
Speaker 1: Bucket of water. You need that five gallon the home depot?
12:02
Speaker 1: Is that what it is? First of all, I had
12:04
Speaker 1: made it.
12:04
Speaker 4: You need a little bit just I was thinking of
12:06
Speaker 4: a big ice cream Scooper was gonna help me out.
12:08
Speaker 1: Maybe I had a similar situation, Billy.
12:10
Speaker 3: What happened was I was going through like this was
12:13
Speaker 3: the heaviest wett of stuff I've ever gotten through, Like
12:16
Speaker 3: this was liquid concrete.
12:17
Speaker 1: It was so tough to get through this stuff.
12:20
Speaker 3: What this is like just absolute sludge, right, And I'm like, well,
12:24
Speaker 3: the one good thing about this one I'm finally done,
12:26
Speaker 3: is I think we're gonna make a quick, easy, little snowman.
12:30
Speaker 1: Lenna's gonna have.
12:31
Speaker 3: A great time with it. It's gonna be a great visual.
12:34
Speaker 1: I had the same thought you did, and I could not,
12:37
Speaker 1: for the life of me, keep the freaking ball together.
12:39
Speaker 3: I couldn't keep the snowball together. I did everything I could.
12:42
Speaker 3: Finally I just made a little mound of snow and
12:44
Speaker 3: gave up.
12:45
Speaker 1: Now is it.
12:45
Speaker 3: But it's funny that you said that because I had
12:48
Speaker 3: the same situation, Billy.
12:49
Speaker 2: Pressure packed situation, and you're there and we on stage
12:54
Speaker 2: disappointing your kids that trend already disappointing your kids early
12:58
Speaker 2: and off.
12:58
Speaker 1: Early on right away.
13:00
Speaker 3: It's just so interesting. I mean that that was part
13:03
Speaker 3: of it. What I realized yesterday is I can't do that.
13:05
Speaker 3: I hadn't tried in years.
13:07
Speaker 1: But as the thing, I.
13:08
Speaker 4: Don't know the last time I actually tried. So I'm
13:10
Speaker 4: gonna give us a little breaks there.
13:12
Speaker 1: Yeah.
13:12
Speaker 3: And then and then you and then you mentioned the
13:14
Speaker 3: bucket of water. That might be a strategy. That's a
13:16
Speaker 3: good And there was something going on with the birds
13:18
Speaker 3: yesterday and I sent a snapped a Billy and put
13:20
Speaker 3: it on Twitter or something.
13:22
Speaker 1: You were fat robins?
13:23
Speaker 2: What what is going on with these fat robins? Haven't
13:27
Speaker 2: discovered g l p ones and tides for the rocks.
13:30
Speaker 4: Yeah.
13:31
Speaker 1: I had a lot of people reach out to me
13:33
Speaker 1: and said they had a similar situation. Something was going
13:35
Speaker 1: on to the robins that got here early thinking of
13:37
Speaker 1: the spring which was great or whatever. Listen, there was
13:41
Speaker 1: something weird going on.
13:43
Speaker 2: That's why they're so fat, because they're gonna it's gonna
13:44
Speaker 2: be a week before they can find anything.
13:46
Speaker 3: Apparently they're like puffing up or something because it's cold too.
13:51
Speaker 3: As soon as I was done with one little area,
13:54
Speaker 3: they were just swarming upon it. I guess they're looking
13:56
Speaker 3: for any sort of worm on the ground or amazing stuff. Hey, listen,
14:01
Speaker 3: you gotta try and eat.
14:02
Speaker 1: I get it.
14:02
Speaker 3: Big dogs got to eat. And these were some big
14:05
Speaker 3: dogs and some dogs dude, like those were like, those
14:09
Speaker 3: were some linemen they.
14:11
Speaker 4: Put they they were right to be the Wisconsin State
14:14
Speaker 4: burn Those were wisconsint Night Robins if I've ever seen
14:17
Speaker 4: one that you were the showcasing.
14:19
Speaker 1: But I really I felt you're paying with this.
14:21
Speaker 3: No, I didn't mean to be sold Xuber and Billy,
14:23
Speaker 3: but I was amazing you mentioned that because I had
14:25
Speaker 3: the same situation.
14:25
Speaker 2: All right, So yeah, if you now, if we can
14:29
Speaker 2: stand here and have perspective on Saint Patrick's Day, you
14:32
Speaker 2: look back, and we did have, at least here in
14:35
Speaker 2: our corner of the state, a pretty mild winter. Oh yeah,
14:38
Speaker 2: for sure, not that many inconveniences, not that much bone
14:41
Speaker 2: chilling cold.
14:41
Speaker 1: There were days when it was cold, but there was
14:43
Speaker 1: that week snap and that was about it.
14:45
Speaker 2: And then we get dumped at the end, and I
14:48
Speaker 2: hope that's winter's last gasp. We talked about it, how
14:51
Speaker 2: it seemed like you could set your watch by it
14:53
Speaker 2: back when my high school recover, when I was covering
14:56
Speaker 2: high schools, it was always at the state tournament time
14:58
Speaker 2: we'd get this dumping.
14:59
Speaker 1: And then when I would go to spring training would
15:01
Speaker 1: get this dump.
15:02
Speaker 2: Usually spring training when I went started going there, it
15:04
Speaker 2: would snow the first like middle of February. We'd get
15:07
Speaker 2: dumped on right when I left, right when you left. Yep,
15:10
Speaker 2: it make me guilty. My wife an infant at home
15:12
Speaker 2: and make sure, hey, did you say, you know, bring
15:15
Speaker 2: her provisions and snow blow and stuff. But uh, does
15:19
Speaker 2: this does this change the dynamic? Does it change your
15:23
Speaker 2: whole life?
15:23
Speaker 1: Does it?
15:24
Speaker 2: Does one game taint the whole season? Because this especially
15:29
Speaker 2: and we're.
15:29
Speaker 1: Fox Valley, it might drew.
15:31
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, we're talking about it, but that's
15:32
Speaker 2: life changing. Snow when you got I saw some of
15:35
Speaker 2: our brethren in the media up in Green Bay and
15:37
Speaker 2: stuff where.
15:38
Speaker 1: They had real problems.
15:39
Speaker 2: They yeah, the end of their driveway. The snow is
15:42
Speaker 2: higher than the mailbox, which is four feet off the ground.
15:44
Speaker 2: It's insane and it's like.
15:46
Speaker 4: Whoa seeing, uh seeing? Butchi's video of him trying to
15:49
Speaker 4: dig out. Now he's trying to get down to Madison
15:51
Speaker 4: to be able to get on the plane and go.
15:53
Speaker 1: Go to Portland. Uh.
15:54
Speaker 4: That was that was one of the tough arnts and
15:56
Speaker 4: we got we got a shot right here, uh from
15:59
Speaker 4: our friend Ronda as like, the snow the walls are
16:01
Speaker 4: literally higher than the snow blower. So this might be
16:05
Speaker 4: one of those where hey, yeah, you're perfect game, You're
16:07
Speaker 4: no hitter.
16:07
Speaker 1: Got wrecked right away.
16:09
Speaker 2: Everybody's snowblower was like the Lady Narrelko I had when
16:12
Speaker 2: I was first at stately olsa matter.
16:14
Speaker 1: The tiny one.
16:15
Speaker 2: It's like, wait a minute, this looks like a toy now,
16:18
Speaker 2: like there's no way, and I was I would use
16:20
Speaker 2: that in the two foot snowfalls like this, and my
16:23
Speaker 2: neighbor would come over with this big boy errands through
16:27
Speaker 2: I got you.
16:27
Speaker 1: I like, no, dude, you don't have to. I'll just
16:30
Speaker 1: I'll just carve out. I'll just carve away with this,
16:33
Speaker 1: you know, for the next four hours I'm good.
16:36
Speaker 3: Like, now, let me help you out. And that's what
16:37
Speaker 3: I was gonna say too, is that these are the
16:39
Speaker 3: type of days where a couple of things happen.
16:41
Speaker 1: Right whoever the biggest badest boy in your block is
16:44
Speaker 1: with the biggest badest blower.
16:46
Speaker 3: Or equipment or well, they're waiting to show that thing
16:50
Speaker 3: off just swinging around the block.
16:51
Speaker 1: Man, they're waiting to do it. Yeah, they swing because
16:56
Speaker 1: the guy with the pickup with the plow.
16:57
Speaker 3: So that's where you have a mutual kind of beneficiary
17:00
Speaker 3: thing where on one hand they get the ego boost
17:03
Speaker 3: of having the machinery. On the other hand they get
17:06
Speaker 3: to they use it and he say, all right, thanks,
17:08
Speaker 3: I appreciate you clearing this thing out for me. And
17:10
Speaker 3: we always see the sports in these divided times are
17:13
Speaker 3: the one thing that brings us together. No no, no, no,
17:15
Speaker 3: it's heavy weather, it's heavy snow, because that's one of
17:19
Speaker 3: the best things about it is like everyone's out there
17:21
Speaker 3: working together trying to clear off your neighbor.
17:23
Speaker 1: Nothing really brings us together to help each other out
17:25
Speaker 1: like one of these storms. So as tough as it
17:27
Speaker 1: was for a lot of people, and you mentioned up
17:29
Speaker 1: in the valley, and up north central Wisconsin. They had
17:31
Speaker 1: a real tough time with it.
17:32
Speaker 3: I'm sure there was equal amounts of people helping out
17:35
Speaker 3: their neighbor, which I appreciate.
17:36
Speaker 1: And you mentioned Butch. He's got a tough spot because
17:39
Speaker 1: as tough and high as.
17:41
Speaker 3: The snow is everywhere there, including for him, he's the
17:43
Speaker 3: one guy that can look over the snow at all times.
17:46
Speaker 3: So it's like, wait, we need Butcher's seven foot here
17:48
Speaker 3: to like tell us what's going on because we can't
17:50
Speaker 3: see over these snow banks, but Butch can.
17:53
Speaker 1: And news for Butcher, you can't be shoveling with your hands.
17:56
Speaker 1: They ain't gonna work, buddy. I saw him trying to
17:58
Speaker 1: do that on Twitter. That's tough. Not gonna tough deal.
18:00
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that it does. Warm your car.
18:03
Speaker 4: You need more seven foot shovels, and I don't know
18:05
Speaker 4: necessarily know that those those work. And now I don't
18:07
Speaker 4: know if you guys had seen this before, it's definitely existed.
18:10
Speaker 4: I'm just new to the game, my man. Yesterday, as
18:13
Speaker 4: I was riding through and seeing some folks do exactly
18:16
Speaker 4: what Armin said, flex flex the machinery.
18:19
Speaker 1: Show what they got, dude, had the.
18:23
Speaker 4: Riding lawnmower, the tractor not with the plow on front,
18:27
Speaker 4: drew with a full fledged snowblower on front. Oo.
18:31
Speaker 1: I mean it was intense.
18:33
Speaker 4: That's impressive, like longer than most cars from what it
18:36
Speaker 4: looked like. Wow, and just as proud as I possibly could.
18:41
Speaker 4: He had an extended uh you know, swivel look crank
18:45
Speaker 4: that he could turn the thing around. I don't know
18:47
Speaker 4: how he was holding the y auger or if that
18:49
Speaker 4: was already set. It was one of the most impressive
18:51
Speaker 4: pieces of machinery I had seen. And then I mean
18:53
Speaker 4: with gas at three seven three thirty a gallon. I
18:56
Speaker 4: don't know if maybe he was like, hey, you guys
18:57
Speaker 4: got tip me to be able to ride through. But
18:59
Speaker 4: he was kind of like Debo going down the neighborhood,
19:02
Speaker 4: just looking around, saying big time, I flexing these guys
19:05
Speaker 4: and clear this thing real quick in twenty minutes or No.
19:07
Speaker 1: It was fun. I was proud of. He had to
19:09
Speaker 1: have been living his best life. Find out quickly who
19:11
Speaker 1: your your better neighbors are.
19:13
Speaker 2: And I'll say this for you guys that have to
19:15
Speaker 2: get up early and Billy, you fired it up yesterday
19:18
Speaker 2: like early in the morning. I don't think there is
19:20
Speaker 2: a statute of limitations, like it depends on your your
19:22
Speaker 2: living situations. I've been in some homes where the houses
19:25
Speaker 2: are close together and your bedroom window might be right
19:27
Speaker 2: over your neighbor's driveway. But man, when it's back at
19:31
Speaker 2: Stateley Olsa matter West, we had pretty big lots a
19:34
Speaker 2: like at five four am, five am, three am didn't matter.
19:37
Speaker 1: I could go out there and it's so quiet.
19:40
Speaker 2: Yes, when there's like the snow is deadening, so it's
19:43
Speaker 2: not as loud, it doesn't feel the snowblower is not
19:45
Speaker 2: as bad early morning hours as a lawnmower would be
19:49
Speaker 2: thousand percent thousand percent. And there's also been in the
19:52
Speaker 2: summer and someone's ut mowing their low at six am.
19:54
Speaker 2: That's a foul.
19:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, snow blowing.
19:56
Speaker 4: No, it's never too early, No, because now you're choosing
19:58
Speaker 4: to be that guy at six am with the with
20:00
Speaker 4: the lawnmower, with the snowblower.
20:01
Speaker 1: Hey, man, gotta do what you gotta do. And the.
20:05
Speaker 2: Average snowblower isn't that much louder than the plows that
20:07
Speaker 2: are rolling right, that's fair in that anyway, And you
20:10
Speaker 2: don't have the snow etiquette here on the huddle today.
20:15
Speaker 2: We all got through it together. Hopefully that's the last
20:18
Speaker 2: of us. Now we're on to the play and tournament
20:20
Speaker 2: and Dayton the World Baseball Classic, which we'll talk about.
20:23
Speaker 2: We're buying and selling today. But she's gonna join us
20:26
Speaker 2: at seven twenty five to talk brackets.
20:29
Speaker 4: It is.
20:29
Speaker 1: By the way, did we mention Saint Patrick' day?
20:31
Speaker 2: Let's get some corned beef from Green Beer, some JMO
20:34
Speaker 2: and some soda bread and let's go.
20:37
Speaker 1: It's the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin Saint Patrick's Day.
20:51
Speaker 1: Addition to the huddle wearing of the green at least
20:53
Speaker 1: I'm wearing green. I forgot to. Yeah, I'm so dumb, totally.
20:58
Speaker 1: It's it's you know, three thirty the morning you're getting dressed.
21:00
Speaker 1: It's not the same. But that's why I threw my
21:02
Speaker 1: bucks at on white. Hey, there you go.
21:05
Speaker 2: Other than that, I had no other green today, So
21:08
Speaker 2: mine was more about the layering. I didn't really do
21:11
Speaker 2: this intentionally. I know it's cold out. It's like what
21:15
Speaker 2: single digits again?
21:17
Speaker 1: I woke up? Yeah, so but I can go home
21:22
Speaker 1: and then go out later.
21:23
Speaker 2: You better believe anybody doing some damn bibing today because
21:26
Speaker 2: I haven't had that luxury in many, many years.
21:28
Speaker 1: Will you be a potato pancake guy or just straight
21:30
Speaker 1: green beer? What will you beer?
21:33
Speaker 2: Maybe if they have some corn beef sliders or something. Okay,
21:36
Speaker 2: myself of a little corn beef today, depending on where
21:38
Speaker 2: we go.
21:38
Speaker 4: I'm never against that. The corn beef and hash. It's
21:41
Speaker 4: it's not my favorite. It's definitely not my favorite. But
21:43
Speaker 4: I'll i'll mix mix arounds a.
21:45
Speaker 1: Year isn't going to kill you, right, especially around this
21:49
Speaker 1: time of year. The but the Irish car bomb is
21:52
Speaker 1: the one that I missed the most.
21:53
Speaker 4: Like and as strange as that sounds and is probably
21:58
Speaker 4: just aggressive as it is, uh, that's the part of
22:01
Speaker 4: Saint Patrick's day.
22:02
Speaker 1: I missed the absolute mouse.
22:03
Speaker 3: There you go, man, there are also other Irish dishes
22:07
Speaker 3: besides corn beef and cabbage.
22:09
Speaker 1: Like you don't think they have to have corn beef
22:10
Speaker 1: and cabbage. I get it. I mean that's like the
22:12
Speaker 1: staple that's like, yeah, you got Irish stew. You get
22:16
Speaker 1: the Armenian to tell us about the Irish exactly what
22:19
Speaker 1: we got.
22:19
Speaker 3: No, just checking out checking out some as you said,
22:23
Speaker 3: Shepherd's pie bangers and mash, you know, and we every day,
22:28
Speaker 3: so you might as well throw a mash and creamy
22:31
Speaker 3: cold cannon whatever that is, mashed potatoes with kale.
22:34
Speaker 1: So I'm just kind of googling. How excited were you
22:36
Speaker 1: to celebrate the bangers that you get to play bangers
22:39
Speaker 1: and mash man absolutely, which are just sausage.
22:43
Speaker 4: Now, there are plenty of There are spots that do
22:45
Speaker 4: the green pancake mixed. That's an impressive feat right now.
22:48
Speaker 4: Throw a little food coloring in there, and you can
22:50
Speaker 4: make anything a party.
22:52
Speaker 1: Some food dies.
22:52
Speaker 3: Gotta be careful, but like one day a year we
22:54
Speaker 3: got We're cool, right, We're cool with that one day.
22:58
Speaker 1: Little extra greenery, a little was that vegetables?
23:01
Speaker 3: Like oh okay, yeah, sure, yeah brocco, we're talking aboun't
23:04
Speaker 3: know man, And you want to be careful because you
23:06
Speaker 3: don't want too many vegetables, you know, like.
23:09
Speaker 2: You zabe, Yeah exactly, no vegetables. You don't let my
23:12
Speaker 2: foods touch each other.
23:13
Speaker 1: Al Michaels, yea, al Michaels, sorry it over here.
23:16
Speaker 3: I love that.
23:16
Speaker 2: So everybody's Irish today, but we're all Americans every day,
23:20
Speaker 2: and the US plays Venezuela for the world Baseball Classic
23:23
Speaker 2: Kingship tonight, and it puts us in the unique situation
23:26
Speaker 2: of having to root four and against Cheerio and Contreras.
23:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt, and to one team that when they
23:33
Speaker 4: walked into the tournament, I think Venezuela was like seven
23:37
Speaker 4: to one, eight to one to win the whole thing.
23:39
Speaker 1: A little bit of an underdog.
23:41
Speaker 4: However, when you got Ronald Acunya leading off games, hard
23:44
Speaker 4: to call them anyone's underdog.
23:46
Speaker 1: That doesn't make you. That doesn't feel like a lineup
23:48
Speaker 1: that would be underdogs at all. William and Jackson are
23:52
Speaker 1: betting eighth the ninth respectively. Yeah, that's a banger of
23:56
Speaker 1: a lineup.
23:56
Speaker 4: No pun in.
23:57
Speaker 2: Chario's bat in ninth and he's like the second leadof
24:00
Speaker 2: guy right. Yeah, basically, well he had a hit last night,
24:03
Speaker 2: they'd start the winning rally.
24:04
Speaker 1: Hell yeah.
24:05
Speaker 2: Contreras has done nothing for Venezuela really offensively.
24:08
Speaker 1: No legit over.
24:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, William is not a Yeah, he's definitely due, but
24:15
Speaker 2: he has not had a good tournament. I don't know
24:17
Speaker 2: what the deal is there. But Cherio has been contributing
24:20
Speaker 2: and playing, and we'll have a very fun atmosphere tonight
24:23
Speaker 2: for that game. Now, God, it'll be awesome part as well. Italy,
24:25
Speaker 2: like Venezuela, was on the ropes until the seventh when
24:28
Speaker 2: they reeled off a couple of big time but pushed
24:31
Speaker 2: across three runs.
24:32
Speaker 4: That three and the seventh well obviously flips the game
24:34
Speaker 4: where I mean, Italy gets the lead early and I
24:37
Speaker 4: don't know if anybody else was feeling, I'm like, oh
24:38
Speaker 4: my god, we're gonna grazzi this thing all the way
24:41
Speaker 4: to the championship, like it just the magic carpet ride
24:44
Speaker 4: that they've kind of been on, felt like it wasn't
24:46
Speaker 4: gonna end. I did appreciate Alex Rodriguez as tor Hee
24:50
Speaker 4: Posada because the Dominican like us, that was a great baseball.
24:54
Speaker 1: What are you doing in Italy?
24:55
Speaker 4: Jersey goes well. Francisco asked me if I wanted to
24:57
Speaker 4: be a part of it. I said, hell, yeah, I'm
25:00
Speaker 4: and ay Rod just kind of laughed and then they
25:01
Speaker 4: buffed it off right away. There was however, these teams
25:05
Speaker 4: came together drew the competitiveness of the games is something
25:10
Speaker 4: that you just can't manufacture. And seeing Churio hit right
25:14
Speaker 4: in front of Ocunyah in that nine to one spot
25:18
Speaker 4: when Ocunya has kind of been like the hey, if
25:21
Speaker 4: he maxes out all the potential, could be Ronald Acunya Junior.
25:25
Speaker 4: And to see them side by side, Damn, there's there's
25:28
Speaker 4: real thought that you could be looking at the next
25:30
Speaker 4: one of those guys where I mean, he's a face
25:32
Speaker 4: of baseball, and Jackson's not that far behind. But the
25:36
Speaker 4: pressure is squarely on the United States obviously, But I
25:40
Speaker 4: don't know, out of any of the teams, in any
25:42
Speaker 4: of the fan bases, this one does feel like it's
25:45
Speaker 4: gonna be someone fifty fifty because that Venezuelan crowd was
25:48
Speaker 4: out in full force last night in Miami.
25:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, the video of them celebrating outside in a downpour
25:54
Speaker 2: and still getting after it.
25:55
Speaker 1: That's amazing about this.
25:58
Speaker 3: In these tournaments, it matters to these matters, to these
26:00
Speaker 3: fan bases, and that's what makes it exciting for everybody.
26:03
Speaker 3: I was a little surprised to see uh at Potomy sportsbook,
26:07
Speaker 3: Billy the US team of minus two eighty six, so
26:10
Speaker 3: decently heavy favorite there. Yeah, so I kind of thought
26:13
Speaker 3: it'd be closer to maybe, you know, minus won six
26:15
Speaker 3: years once. I don't know, Probably I wasn't handicapping this
26:19
Speaker 3: but hey, I mean, look, I mean, if you're Venezuela,
26:21
Speaker 3: you've been kind of bucking the trend. You've been kind
26:24
Speaker 3: of the underdog in terms of you know, when they
26:26
Speaker 3: came back and beat Japan. I saw Japan's manager stepped
26:28
Speaker 3: down after losing that game last night. He said, I'm done.
26:32
Speaker 1: I'm not sure.
26:33
Speaker 4: Hey sent out a big apology, hosted a big, big
26:37
Speaker 4: statement apology.
26:38
Speaker 1: Yeah. Here, Kazu Abata, I don't know if I'm pronouncing
26:41
Speaker 1: that right. He's closer. He's saying he's stepping down after
26:43
Speaker 1: the WBC loss.
26:44
Speaker 3: So look, I mean, I'm sure Venezuela feels that type
26:46
Speaker 3: of confidence, in that belief in themselves.
26:48
Speaker 1: So it should be a great, great final tonight. And
26:50
Speaker 1: if the US loses, Mark de Rosa will just slide
26:53
Speaker 1: on over to his TV. Yeah that's right, No shame,
26:55
Speaker 1: no shame in that one. He was. He was on
26:57
Speaker 1: MAXI yesterday and he was enjoying himself.
27:00
Speaker 4: Yeah. I heard everybody taking the swings as Mark, let's
27:03
Speaker 4: win the thing before we start taking the vi Aeah.
27:06
Speaker 1: We really rolled through exactly.
27:08
Speaker 2: So now in the uh meanwhile, back here among the
27:10
Speaker 2: tyrant strip club ads, I would say it's folly to
27:14
Speaker 2: focus on anything unless it's really weird Jason Stark type stuff,
27:17
Speaker 2: to focus on anything that really happens during the course
27:19
Speaker 2: of a Cactus League game. But the Brewers arc over
27:23
Speaker 2: two days, going from being a pitch away from being
27:25
Speaker 2: perfect gamed to scoring, you know, ten runs in an
27:29
Speaker 2: inning and beating up on the Dodgers twenty four to nine,
27:32
Speaker 2: twenty four to nine, and winning a game when you
27:35
Speaker 2: trail seven to nothing in the top of the fifth.
27:37
Speaker 2: That that's gonna be some legendary stuff right there, twenty
27:41
Speaker 2: four to nine against the bat against the Dodgers. Not
27:44
Speaker 2: does that in any way make you feel better about
27:46
Speaker 2: the NLCS, Of course not.
27:48
Speaker 1: No, But I did. I did.
27:49
Speaker 4: It's all you have, it's what we have right now,
27:51
Speaker 4: and I did, and appreciate that he didn't acknowledge it,
27:55
Speaker 4: but I did ask Kurt Hoag when he put that
27:57
Speaker 4: out there. I'm like, you want to, like, ask the
27:59
Speaker 4: boys if they maybe thought about doing this last year.
28:01
Speaker 4: And they're making it look far too easy, far too
28:04
Speaker 4: easy to just played all these runs. And Brandon Lockridge
28:06
Speaker 4: drew like, as much as you don't take a bunch
28:09
Speaker 4: into spring training that dude's making a nice push to
28:11
Speaker 4: try to make the club with that granny yesterday, and
28:13
Speaker 4: it is really good.
28:14
Speaker 2: Spring scored ten runs in the fifth and then nine
28:18
Speaker 2: runs in the seventh, and then five in the ninth.
28:21
Speaker 1: That was their scoring output.
28:22
Speaker 2: Scoring in bunches after almost being subject to a perfect
28:27
Speaker 2: game against you in spring training.
28:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, that just tells you that spring training in a nutshell.
28:32
Speaker 1: That is a spring training game.
28:34
Speaker 4: And every time Baseball, every time I kept getting a
28:35
Speaker 4: notification of another score. The one thing that I said was,
28:39
Speaker 4: how that game's still going? And then wait a second,
28:42
Speaker 4: they it's a touchdown. This is a full football score
28:45
Speaker 4: at twenty four to seven at play level.
28:47
Speaker 2: That's old school spring training. To play a game that
28:50
Speaker 2: lasted three hours and fifty four.
28:51
Speaker 1: Minutes, huh.
28:54
Speaker 2: Cool, old old school. I'm surprised they got through. It
28:57
Speaker 2: didn't run out of pitching, right, It's like a lot
28:59
Speaker 2: of times like or on of pitching.
29:01
Speaker 4: Get somebody else in a ninety four jersey and lived
29:03
Speaker 4: in basically but one of the Brewers first round picks
29:07
Speaker 4: from last year, I believe Brady Ebel. He had himself
29:11
Speaker 4: a homer, which is kind of nice to be able
29:12
Speaker 4: to see this is also you know the kick in
29:15
Speaker 4: the pants on a Monday special on a Wednesday or
29:19
Speaker 4: a Tuesday version. This was gonna be well, no, this
29:22
Speaker 4: was gonna be the week that I was going to
29:23
Speaker 4: be down in spring training, and these would have been
29:25
Speaker 4: a couple of crazy games that you're seeing where Drew
29:28
Speaker 4: they do almost get no hit, then they explode for
29:31
Speaker 4: the most offense that they have had in a long time.
29:34
Speaker 4: And you know, Yesterday's still a little bit more of
29:37
Speaker 4: a Brewer connection. I don't know that a lot of
29:39
Speaker 4: people are putting on hell Zurpa in a Brewers uniform
29:42
Speaker 4: when he's getting the win yesterday for Venezuela. I like
29:45
Speaker 4: being able to see a little bit of somebody that
29:48
Speaker 4: the Brewers ended up targeting and wanting. And the first
29:51
Speaker 4: of the moves that had people scratching their heads with
29:54
Speaker 4: what the Brewers did in the offseason trade and Isaac
29:56
Speaker 4: Collins and company over to Kansas City. You might have
29:58
Speaker 4: seen why because Zerpa ca up out Tani in that
30:00
Speaker 4: Japan game and was pretty good last night when he came.
30:03
Speaker 1: It's pretty exciting. Andrew Fisher had a good tournament.
30:06

39:12
Speaker 2: on this Saint Patrick's Day. Yeah, I mean it's almost
39:15
Speaker 2: a little bit of overkill, and it's spaced out. And
39:18
Speaker 2: we had that shamrock shuffle in Milwaukee a couple of
39:20
Speaker 2: weeks ago before the snow. We had a lot of
39:24
Speaker 2: people dressed in green and kind of getting after it.
39:27
Speaker 2: This weekend, today's the day, though, there'll be the parade
39:29
Speaker 2: and Aaron and today is the actual day for the diehards.
39:32
Speaker 1: They died the River Green in Chicago.
39:34
Speaker 2: So where it falls on the calendar is important, But
39:37
Speaker 2: I do love and we've had this in the past
39:40
Speaker 2: where either Saint Patrick's Day falls on either the first.
39:43
Speaker 1: Or second day of the Ncaattorney.
39:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that Thursday, I think it was thirteen years ago,
39:48
Speaker 2: I was doing a gig with our friends from left
39:50
Speaker 2: Lucky Town on seventy second State Street watching games there
39:53
Speaker 2: that first day and it was absolutely epic with the
39:56
Speaker 2: green beer and the games on. Yes we have a
39:58
Speaker 2: Badger's or Marquette playing on a Saint patrick Day when
40:00
Speaker 2: everybody's just getting after it.
40:02
Speaker 1: That is like a destination holiday to me. Yeah, that
40:05
Speaker 1: changes it up.
40:06
Speaker 4: And I know that there's some people that like to
40:08
Speaker 4: separate it and we want this party and then we
40:10
Speaker 4: want the other party. Well, at certain points in your life,
40:13
Speaker 4: you only get one party a week, right, Like there
40:16
Speaker 4: are times in that you probably only gonna get one
40:18
Speaker 4: good party a week, So you really want to make
40:21
Speaker 4: sure that you can combine all the excitement and all
40:23
Speaker 4: the energy into one. It's like when you do the vacation,
40:26
Speaker 4: you do the guys trip out to Vegas, you bring
40:28
Speaker 4: invite almost everybody.
40:29
Speaker 1: Because it's gonna be a one shining moment.
40:31
Speaker 4: All right, We're gonna be out there for three days
40:33
Speaker 4: and hopefully we can see all the boys.
40:34
Speaker 3: That's a good point because I've been one of those
40:36
Speaker 3: that's always been on the separate them to get more
40:38
Speaker 3: parties out, like I would have said, and I know
40:40
Speaker 3: we had this debate in the past, like I would
40:42
Speaker 3: Saint Patrick's was like, you know, the day before NCAA
40:46
Speaker 3: Tournament Day one. But it works out this week because
40:48
Speaker 3: I don't really consider Tuesday in the NCAA tournament yet,
40:50
Speaker 3: I don't know it really is, So I guess it
40:52
Speaker 3: works out this week that they're separate.
40:54
Speaker 1: But Billy, you are right.
40:55
Speaker 3: I mean, there is a time and an advantage in
40:57
Speaker 3: life where you don't get a chance to run it
40:58
Speaker 3: every day, so you might as well pass everything into
41:00
Speaker 3: one put everything into the car, guys, because we're only
41:02
Speaker 3: taking one trip out there.
41:04
Speaker 1: So I guess you make a great point there.
41:06
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven seven three God of Love our local
41:10
Speaker 2: news and amidst all the blizzard coverage, j Dillon and
