Speaker 2: appreciate you walking in here on this national semifinal Thursday.
0:46
Speaker 1: Mm hmm yeah, heck yeah. It is frozen four times, right,
0:49
Speaker 1: frozen four time. Let's get it.
0:52
Speaker 4: Padri's like today we've got the Masters, which is you know,
0:56
Speaker 4: so relaxing and put it on and just watch that
1:00
Speaker 4: enery and then you go to the ice. The vulcanized
1:02
Speaker 4: rubber puck going one hundred miles an hour, guys skating
1:05
Speaker 4: their asses off, playing like they're lives depending on it.
1:08
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a great little doubleheader, which is gonna
1:11
Speaker 4: be a great day of watching TV. I'm setting I'm
1:13
Speaker 4: setting the bar high for today because yesterday, given our
1:17
Speaker 4: new our schedule where we're off eight am, I thought, oh,
1:20
Speaker 4: this is great. And then you watch the Brewers and
1:22
Speaker 4: the Red Sox in the series finale, and that was
1:24
Speaker 4: a snoozer.
1:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, that quickly puts you to bed, maybe more than
1:27
Speaker 2: even the fourteenth and fifteenth Greens.
1:29
Speaker 4: Brewers had four hits and a whole lot of nothing
1:32
Speaker 4: on offense. They get shut out, lose the first series
1:36
Speaker 4: of the season.
1:37
Speaker 1: It's no great calamity.
1:38
Speaker 4: They just got to sit with it until six forty
1:40
Speaker 4: first pitch Friday night at AMFAM when they take on Washington.
1:44
Speaker 1: But that was a deflating afternoon.
1:47
Speaker 4: And it's not again, nothing against the Brewers, but there's
1:51
Speaker 4: no I in team, but media starts with me. I
1:53
Speaker 4: had planned to be entertained by that game, and it's like,
1:55
Speaker 4: well this sucks. I'm gonna go go find something else
1:58
Speaker 4: to do.
1:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was quickly a it to what on earth
2:01
Speaker 2: can we find to clean out in the garage because
2:03
Speaker 2: it's gonna be at least tolerable and I'm not gonna
2:06
Speaker 2: miss anything that's rolling on here. Man Sonny Gray had
2:09
Speaker 2: it absolutely rolling yesterday, and there have been a number
2:13
Speaker 2: of different outcomes and Sunny Gray starts against the Brewers.
2:16
Speaker 2: I feel like we've we've obviously seen what we saw yesterday.
2:18
Speaker 2: We've seen the Brewers hammer him a few times. So
2:21
Speaker 2: like it was very very much a mixed bag. But
2:23
Speaker 2: drew it did quickly. I saw the video, I saw
2:27
Speaker 2: the visual. I wasn't watching what the sound on when
2:30
Speaker 2: apparently they said on MLB Central, looks beautiful in Boston,
2:33
Speaker 2: but it's eight degrees a little hyper herb bolic.
2:37
Speaker 1: I think it was forty two.
2:39
Speaker 2: But dang, when you're playing in the climate controlled venue
2:42
Speaker 2: of American Family Field, coming out of six weeks in
2:45
Speaker 2: Arizona where it was historically hot, yet it's not too
2:49
Speaker 2: surprising to me that Grip and the Bat was a
2:52
Speaker 2: little bit different than those almost frigid temperatures that they
2:55
Speaker 2: were playing over the last couple of days.
2:56
Speaker 1: A little bit.
2:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like that was well, welcome to the Boss
3:00
Speaker 4: and other Bus is one of those markets where they
3:02
Speaker 4: actually have spring. You can actually you'll hit a bunch
3:05
Speaker 4: of different seasons and feel like that's just all in
3:07
Speaker 4: one day here for the Brewer crew. Yes, so the
3:09
Speaker 4: Brewers are off, that's okay. And then today we bounce back.
3:12
Speaker 4: We got the frozen four Badger's North Dakota four o'clock
3:15
Speaker 4: face off where it's bedtimes. That is a spectacular to me,
3:21
Speaker 4: that's prime time viewing four o'clock.
3:23
Speaker 1: It really is.
3:23
Speaker 2: Well, it's also I mean with the game being early
3:27
Speaker 2: around here one hundred percent, we're in the specials and
3:31
Speaker 2: we can't open those things up early enough. But in Vegas,
3:34
Speaker 2: I think it's also one of the better start times
3:36
Speaker 2: that you could have drew because you got the entire
3:38
Speaker 2: night ahead of you.
3:39
Speaker 1: After you walk out of their mid aftern you.
3:41
Speaker 4: Go to well, if you go to the double Dip,
3:43
Speaker 4: you're gonna be yeah, you're right, you're spitting out right,
3:45
Speaker 4: spit out.
3:45
Speaker 1: There and get ready to rock. You go to eat,
3:49
Speaker 1: but to get you know, your evening rolling one hundred percent.
3:52
Speaker 2: That so that is that's perfect time for the patrons
3:55
Speaker 2: and also a beautiful time for uh now I don't
3:58
Speaker 2: I should have done more understanding no longer the fighting.
4:01
Speaker 1: Sue no longer. No, it won't hit.
4:04
Speaker 2: It definitely hits similar because as the great rivalries that
4:09
Speaker 2: nobody thinks about anymore in college sports, man North Dakota
4:12
Speaker 2: hockey against Wisconsin is right there near the top absolutely
4:16
Speaker 2: of the of the two brands and the two logos
4:18
Speaker 2: that you're still gonna love to be able to go
4:20
Speaker 2: back forth if you're.
4:21
Speaker 1: Of a certain vintage. That means if you're old like me.
4:24
Speaker 4: When growing up you had to it was like Channel
4:28
Speaker 4: ten and thirty six where your go to is for
4:29
Speaker 4: Badger Sports when not every game was on TV, and
4:32
Speaker 4: you'd watch it at like ten thirty on Saturday nights
4:35
Speaker 4: you would watch the rebroadcast of that afternoon's Badger game,
4:38
Speaker 4: and Badger Hockey was on as well, and you could
4:41
Speaker 4: watch that on you know, the public TV, and it
4:44
Speaker 4: was always awesome, and it was it seemed like they
4:47
Speaker 4: were always playing North Dakota. They're always get into it,
4:49
Speaker 4: they always scrapping, they were always getting after it. It was
4:51
Speaker 4: either North Dakota or Saint Cloud's State, and you're like,
4:54
Speaker 4: oh my god, all these teams up in the Midwest,
4:57
Speaker 4: this wha is just dominating. And now that turns into
5:00
Speaker 4: a little bit of the Big ten hockey. So I'm
5:02
Speaker 4: excited to witness that here today.
5:04
Speaker 2: But it is uh, it is also Milwaukee Baseball tonight
5:07
Speaker 2: day and and from the things that in the double dip, yeah,

Speaker 1: Hunter doesn't have to be here, correct, you know, live well,
5:40

7:30
Speaker 3: feel like he could be pretty good at that.
7:31
Speaker 2: You know there, there might be something in the words
7:34
Speaker 2: I'm trying to scheme up how we could make that
7:36
Speaker 2: into a little bit of a here we go.
7:38
Speaker 1: It's already at five oh nine or five ten.
7:40
Speaker 2: I'm talking about being able to find some advantage with
7:43
Speaker 2: my kid. Maybe there's a pick segment that it could
7:44
Speaker 2: be done with that talkback app coming up later into
7:47
Speaker 2: the year. Maybe we could find a little bit of
7:49
Speaker 2: a pick segment. You know, there you go, Carson could
7:51
Speaker 2: figure it out. I bet Leno would be very very
7:53
Speaker 2: good at shure out maybe you sorry and against sorry
7:56
Speaker 2: and Schmid against Smid, like into a pick segment.
7:59
Speaker 4: Find Yeah, I'll let my dog make my picks. I'll
8:03
Speaker 4: just put down some food you know in here and
8:06
Speaker 4: beef here.
8:06
Speaker 2: And thing is, you better put that up on TikTok
8:09
Speaker 2: because you're gonna have fifty thousand views.
8:11
Speaker 1: You will gobble that up instantly. That's going to become
8:13
Speaker 1: a channel. That's true.
8:14
Speaker 4: Hit us up eight seven seven seven nine four seven three.
8:18
Speaker 4: This is one of those days. And driving in uh,
8:21
Speaker 4: roll down the window, smack yourself in the face. It's
8:23
Speaker 4: like tired, impaired m hm, very true. Driving paired anymore.
8:28
Speaker 4: I did in my misspent youth, but I don't anymore.
8:32
Speaker 4: And today was like as close as you get, like
8:35
Speaker 4: reflexes are down, like, oh man, what can you do
8:38
Speaker 4: until I get here and get my energy drink in
8:41
Speaker 4: me and get energized by talking to you guys.
8:43
Speaker 2: So it's that barrel, not the orange barrels, that kind
8:45
Speaker 2: of slap you awake into into the senses, but it
8:49
Speaker 2: really does because all of a sudden, I mean, God,
8:52
Speaker 2: bless the the beautiful creatures that we have near the
8:55
Speaker 2: megaplex here. But there is one one young banby that
8:58
Speaker 2: is just chilling out there right near the entrance, and
9:01
Speaker 2: I'm like, man, you are this early in the morning.
9:04
Speaker 2: You are playing with fire and that can burn you.
9:06
Speaker 2: At any time. I would definitely back up off of
9:08
Speaker 2: the pavement because it is a uh, it's a it's
9:11
Speaker 2: a tough moment when you realize that it's darker here
9:14
Speaker 2: than it is on your tires.
9:15
Speaker 1: All right.
9:16
Speaker 4: So I didn't have this on the Bengo card going
9:18
Speaker 4: into today, and I didn't watch a lot yesterday of
9:22
Speaker 4: The Master's Part three. Yesterday's Part three day and it's
9:26
Speaker 4: you know, Champions Dinner, which we can talk about because
9:28
Speaker 4: that's always fun to kick around.
9:29
Speaker 1: What would you have for your Champions dinner? Right? What
9:31
Speaker 1: would you what's on your menu? You get to pick?
9:34
Speaker 4: But ESPN, ESPN, I didn't have it on my Bengo
9:43
Speaker 4: card that a lot of the golf purists, the nerds
9:46
Speaker 4: were going to be pissed about Jason Kelcey cavorting around
9:49
Speaker 4: in a caddy uniform. And dominating like the airwaves and
9:54
Speaker 4: the broadcast and espning the Masters.
9:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, in I'm I'm I'm a Kelsey fan. I don't
10:02
Speaker 1: know that I'm a Kelsey stan.
10:04
Speaker 2: I heard him though on with the McAfee guys before
10:07
Speaker 2: the whole event transpired, and he's like, no, I'm just
10:10
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna be here a little fly on the
10:11
Speaker 2: wall hanging out.
10:13
Speaker 1: Fly on the wall. That's a big damn fly. Yeah,
10:17
Speaker 1: I don't know.
10:17
Speaker 2: I don't know that it was flying the wall indefinitely
10:20
Speaker 2: when Disney is producing it. I don't think that his
10:23
Speaker 2: microphone is going to be off that much to just
10:25
Speaker 2: be a fly on the wall. Uh, but leave it
10:28
Speaker 2: to a Bert Kreischer potential. See exciting, like you're gonna
10:34
Speaker 2: find ways for them to get their their fingerprints on this.
10:37
Speaker 2: And uh they had the patrons and the purists very
10:40
Speaker 2: upset yesterday.
10:42
Speaker 4: I mean, when you're on the grounds of the Masters,
10:44
Speaker 4: no cell phones, no running right, just.
10:46
Speaker 1: Decorum, all the year's history.
10:48
Speaker 4: We will snatch your badge away and send you out
10:51
Speaker 4: of these will kick you out of heaven if you
10:54
Speaker 4: misbehave at all. And then they're clowning it up and
10:57
Speaker 4: yucking it up and social media was probably more fun
11:00
Speaker 4: to watch than the actual telecast. And I'm not gonna
11:03
Speaker 4: get mad about this because you know, ESPN is uh,
11:07
Speaker 4: it's the what is the E stand for ESPN Entertainment,
11:10
Speaker 4: It's the human centipede of self promotion. Everything they do
11:14
Speaker 4: goes to promote other stuff, you know, and it's like to
11:18
Speaker 4: let's have our experts out and let's promote this, let's
11:20
Speaker 4: promote this, and like, I get it right, and Jason
11:23
Speaker 4: Kelsey's star. But people were coming around and they were
11:26
Speaker 4: getting savage on social media about it. Some of the
11:29
Speaker 4: some of the tweets, the exes, this is so stupid.
11:33
Speaker 4: This idiot does not belong at Augusta or any place
11:36
Speaker 4: near the Masters. What a bad decision. Terrible disaster for
11:39
Speaker 4: Kelsey being at Augusta. All right, well terrible disaster? Is
11:42
Speaker 4: it that big a deal?
11:43
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, I didn't realize it was a
11:45
Speaker 2: calamity of sports made clouded up the TGL, the Simulator
11:49
Speaker 2: League or whatever.
11:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, like that'd be a good spot.
11:51
Speaker 4: But he was just on that a couple of weeks ago,
11:53
Speaker 4: and some people were that was like the that was
11:56
Speaker 4: like the test soft launch, the soft launch, and then
11:59
Speaker 4: someone said ESPN should do an alternative stream where you
12:02
Speaker 4: don't have to see Jason kelcey, and that thing would
12:04
Speaker 4: do huge numbers.
12:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, that main broadcast would do probably a lot. A little.
12:09
Speaker 4: Then there's this admonition from a oh, we like it
12:12
Speaker 4: our Department of Corrections Nicolay Lotta.
12:14
Speaker 1: I'm talking text line eight seven seven seven nine four
12:15
Speaker 1: one ninety so three. You can call us out on
12:17
Speaker 1: our BS. You can check us, you know, just keep
12:20
Speaker 1: us honest. Uh. Then there's a guy. Then there's a
12:23
Speaker 1: guy that said, dear ESPN, we do not want Jason
12:26
Speaker 1: Kelsey shoved down our throats. Thank you.
12:30
Speaker 2: They they want him though, they wanted they want everybody
12:33
Speaker 2: wanted him in the race to hiring the next big
12:37
Speaker 2: thing in sports media.
12:38
Speaker 1: And when they paid him that kind of money, they
12:40
Speaker 1: throw him on there.
12:41
Speaker 4: You know, he's a likable guy, he's got some pedigree,
12:45
Speaker 4: he's got some skills and stuff. But it almost seems
12:48
Speaker 4: like they're forcing him into like we want you to
12:52
Speaker 4: be McAfee light, we want you to be Pat McGan, like,
12:55
Speaker 4: you know, take your shirt off and be a clown
12:56
Speaker 4: for us. It's like that's not his gig and it.
12:58
Speaker 4: It seems forced well.
13:00
Speaker 2: And I had thought when it was the par three contest,
13:03
Speaker 2: it would be a little bit more of because the
13:04
Speaker 2: other thing, like, yeah, Kelsey's jumping around out of the
13:07
Speaker 2: suite getting the girl for the picture with Taylor Swift
13:10
Speaker 2: and all that. He's also like a got four kids
13:13
Speaker 2: and a pretty cool father that would be there. I
13:16
Speaker 2: thought they were leaning in more of the family atmosphere
13:19
Speaker 2: of it with the par three contest. Let alone, again,
13:23
Speaker 2: this is the par three contest, Like, I mean, we
13:26
Speaker 2: can clutch our pearls for a lot of things. If
13:28
Speaker 2: we're going to be upset about the practice round, then
13:31
Speaker 2: I think we're already waiting to be upset about whatever
13:35
Speaker 2: they would put out there. Just wait for Amazon Prime,
13:37
Speaker 2: because doesn't Prime get rounds here in the next day
13:39
Speaker 2: or so. I've seen five different logos underneath the advertisements
13:44
Speaker 2: for where these rights are going to be.
13:46
Speaker 1: So everybody's going to try to do a little something different.
13:48
Speaker 4: And it was on Wednesday, right another tweet. Masters fans
13:53
Speaker 4: are united on one thing. They're sick of the Kelsey brothers.
13:57
Speaker 4: Read these comments. It's crazy ninety nine percent at which
14:00
Speaker 4: makes me wonder who exactly is asking for this what
14:03
Speaker 4: demo wants to see a Kelsey brother every single thing
14:06
Speaker 4: that's on TV.
14:07
Speaker 1: There must be another world somewhere.
14:10
Speaker 2: Well, and I think Drew, would this be fair to
14:12
Speaker 2: say it's the people that don't watch golf that they
14:15
Speaker 2: wanted to be exactly think they're going to be watching
14:17
Speaker 2: golf exactly.
14:18
Speaker 4: That's you know, trying to lure football fans over I guess,
14:21
Speaker 4: or Taylor Swifties.
14:22
Speaker 2: I was gonna say maybe like the Swifties, Like if
14:25
Speaker 2: that ends up being I don't think they're watching golf, right, Like,
14:28
Speaker 2: I get why you'd take the swing.
14:29
Speaker 1: Well, and that's the thing is like.
14:32
Speaker 4: Down and in trying to expand your general audience, which
14:36
Speaker 4: is the goal of most media, you piss off the
14:39
Speaker 4: core audience. It's a little bit like, uhh, that's this
14:42
Speaker 4: band is not popular. I liked them when they were
14:44
Speaker 4: touring in a van and now they've sold out totally
14:47
Speaker 4: and this sucks. Well okay, but in some cases, but
14:51
Speaker 4: in this case, it is like a departure.
14:53
Speaker 1: Sure, it's like The Masters.
14:55
Speaker 4: What we love about The Masters is that you know,
14:58
Speaker 4: the gallery and stuff, it's not you know, it's it's
15:01
Speaker 4: not the same as the you know the Phoenix open.
15:04
Speaker 4: It's it has that, it may it it's it's popular
15:09
Speaker 4: because it's exclusive, and you I fantasize about being there
15:13
Speaker 4: as a patron, and like, you know, seeing and walking
15:16
Speaker 4: around there and oh the low price concessions and the
15:19
Speaker 4: whole everything about it.
15:20
Speaker 1: It's just the steeped in history.
15:22
Speaker 4: And they're trying to drag more people and more eyeballs
15:25
Speaker 4: to an event that doesn't need a lot of hype
15:28
Speaker 4: and a lot of extra Sure I get that thousand
15:30
Speaker 4: whistles because it's a great event.
15:32
Speaker 1: Anyway. Another tweet, This one's great.
15:35
Speaker 4: ESPN used to be Stuart Scott, Chris Berman, Rich Rich
15:38
Speaker 4: Eisen and so many others that built their careers on
15:40
Speaker 4: charisma talent. Now they force this crap down people's throats.
15:43
Speaker 4: It's not even remotely entertaining. I wouldn't be surprised if
15:46
Speaker 4: the masters haven't already made the phone call to make.
15:48
Speaker 2: Sure that this never happens again. Now there's the there's
15:52
Speaker 2: an interesting one.
15:53
Speaker 4: Jason Kelsey and another guy who's overexposed. Le's let's get
15:56
Speaker 4: Kevin Hart involved. He doesn't get enough right, and people
15:59
Speaker 4: aren't of his surprise. The rock wasn't there exactly.
16:03
Speaker 2: Like I mean, if you're gonna go through the list
16:06
Speaker 2: of everybody that would be there, well THEO Vaughn, right,
16:08
Speaker 2: I mean, we gotta find a way to maybe Nicky Glazer,
16:11
Speaker 2: it gets in there.
16:11
Speaker 1: Now.
16:12
Speaker 2: If it was a Netflix deal, all of them would
16:14
Speaker 2: be a part of it. I just like I struggle
16:16
Speaker 2: to get that mad about it. But Drew, I think
16:19
Speaker 2: the fun the thing is that you just hit on.
16:21
Speaker 2: It's I want to go, why do these guys get
16:24
Speaker 2: to go? Why do they get to go doing something
16:26
Speaker 2: different and stranger and not what I'm used to Also
16:30
Speaker 2: again during the practice round, but everybody who apparently wants
16:34
Speaker 2: to get a little bit of that WM that waste
16:37
Speaker 2: management open, or maybe a little bit more livestyle, a
16:39
Speaker 2: little bit more fun. I think it's hilarious to see
16:42
Speaker 2: those two worlds colliding because that Ian entertainment in ESPN
16:45
Speaker 2: is only getting bigger. If you watch them daily, you've
16:48
Speaker 2: seen a lot more of this problem or this seep
16:51
Speaker 2: into It's from Steven A like, I mean you see
16:54
Speaker 2: this every single day.
16:56
Speaker 4: So Bryson Deshambo has Kevin Hart Caddy for him, right,
16:59
Speaker 4: and people tweets for like please make it stop don't
17:02
Speaker 4: make me hate the masters please.
17:05
Speaker 3: Again, it's the par three contest like it was, That's
17:08
Speaker 3: what that's for.
17:10
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be fun, but the fun was used
17:12
Speaker 1: to be like I'm gonna let my kid hit, yeah,
17:14
Speaker 1: have my cat And there still is that.
17:15
Speaker 3: They're playing highlights of that right now. Oh yeah, so
17:18
Speaker 3: that's still part of it.
17:19
Speaker 1: I just done. Then here's the Dagger two, Bryce and Deshamba.
17:22
Speaker 1: Bringing in an unpopular comedic actor to the par three
17:25
Speaker 1: contests over friends and family is the most on brand
17:28
Speaker 1: thing I've ever seen.
17:30
Speaker 2: Yad to get the YouTube clicks, had to get some
17:32
Speaker 2: YouTube person he's going for. He he was Aura Farming well,
17:35
Speaker 2: and that's where I wonder drew how how much they've
17:38
Speaker 2: allowed also these different groups and entities to be doing
17:41
Speaker 2: their stuff right like, because they wouldn't even let the
17:46
Speaker 2: one of the ESPN reporters, uh shleybaw I might be
17:48
Speaker 2: mispronouncing his name golf writer on the grounds doing the
17:52
Speaker 2: hit with McAfee.
17:54
Speaker 1: To then to like, I can't.
17:55
Speaker 2: Imagine that we're not gonna see Jason Kelcey doing an
17:58
Speaker 2: episode of of the Kelsey Brothers podcast there, or Bryson
18:03
Speaker 2: de Shamba not being able to use some of that
18:05
Speaker 2: on his own personal page like that licensing is hilarious
18:09
Speaker 2: to see how different it is from a tournament four
18:12
Speaker 2: years ago. And again this is maybe where the Pearls
18:14
Speaker 2: get clutched even more. That had their own streaming service,
18:18
Speaker 2: so you didn't get anything cluttered into the production of
18:22
Speaker 2: their their tournament. And then they're like, wait a second,
18:25
Speaker 2: we can make how much money? Well, all right, yeah,
18:28
Speaker 2: a tradition. We're gonna hold on a lot of traditions,
18:30
Speaker 2: but we definitely want those dollar signs around here too.
18:32
Speaker 4: When it comes to ESPN and tangling with established sports
18:37
Speaker 4: iconic franchises, I just refer you to Inside the NBA.
18:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, what they gutted that show. That show is like,
18:44
Speaker 1: that's might as well just not even do.
18:46
Speaker 2: It now, No, it might as well stop. They don't
18:49
Speaker 2: like they almost barely do. And I get I was.
18:53
Speaker 2: I was into the other sports media beef and and
18:56
Speaker 2: ESPN luckily got out of well maybe luckily maybe luckily
19:00
Speaker 2: it's all alleged out of the Diana Resini business. But
19:03
Speaker 2: I was, I was sucked into all of the page
19:06
Speaker 2: six noess that I missed a decent amount of this.
19:09
Speaker 2: I love that sports media drew though, is now a tabloid?
19:13
Speaker 2: Did you think you would get you a live a
19:15
Speaker 2: day in your journalistic life that all of a sudden
19:19
Speaker 2: you'd have soap operas, Digest people magazine.
19:23
Speaker 1: Damn it, they could put us.
19:24
Speaker 2: They could put an Andrew Marsha on tabloid right there
19:26
Speaker 2: into the news stand at the grocery store, and I
19:28
Speaker 2: think people would be buying it.
19:29
Speaker 1: It is a weird We're in a weird soup where
19:32
Speaker 1: these people have become like their own stars of their
19:35
Speaker 1: own Like you know, it used to be you just
19:37
Speaker 1: reported and you saw a byline, but you never saw
19:41
Speaker 1: a picture. You didn't know what anybody looked like, and
19:42
Speaker 1: that was a little bit of anonymity, and you were
19:44
Speaker 1: as a reporter, you were just a flying the walt.
19:46
Speaker 1: Now it's like your reporter, Well, what's your personal brand?
19:49
Speaker 1: You know? What are you doing on social media?
19:51
Speaker 2: Like?
19:51
Speaker 1: Why you know that?
19:52
Speaker 4: I don't know that the journalism part is enhanced by
19:55
Speaker 4: that approach. Definitely, the big j part of it's not
19:59
Speaker 4: na at all, and it's well.
20:02
Speaker 1: It's a different world. Is a different world than when
20:05
Speaker 1: I grew up in.
20:06
Speaker 4: It's like it's it's it's it's like when I came
20:09
Speaker 4: up in the business, we were still doing horse and buggies,
20:11
Speaker 4: and now we're driving, driving, you.
20:13
Speaker 2: Know, getting some teslas and flying machines. Yeapper trucks, changing
20:17
Speaker 2: up a bit. It's it's it's shifted.
20:19
Speaker 1: I uh it is.
20:20
Speaker 2: I was dialed in on all of the different media
20:23
Speaker 2: outlets trying to figure out how they were reporting this.
20:26
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about that because it has been instructive.
20:30
Speaker 2: Everything other than the sports yesterday was very entertaining, right,
20:34
Speaker 2: Let's hope to change that today.
20:36
Speaker 4: Hunter Bombguard is in the chair today. He's our Brewers guy.
20:39
Speaker 4: We will have substantive Brewers discussion before we get out today.
20:43
Speaker 4: We got Dolf rolling in for our halftime report. We're
20:46
Speaker 4: going to power through this Thursday. It feels like a Wednesday,
20:48
Speaker 4: but we're gonna power through this Thursday. Weather is nice outside,
20:52
Speaker 4: feeling a hint to spring, and we are gonna make
20:54
Speaker 4: it happen for you today. You're in the huddle on
20:57
Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. We are huddled up on a Thursday.
21:03
Speaker 1: Drew Billy Hunts your Bombguart in for armen It takes
21:06
Speaker 1: a village when the Armenian takes off. Yeah, does he's
21:09
Speaker 1: out in the desert hanging out?
21:10
Speaker 4: He is he doing the full week or is he
21:12
Speaker 4: coming back home and having a little staycation on the
21:14
Speaker 4: back end.
21:15
Speaker 1: And you know, he and Laura went there, they went
21:18
Speaker 1: on the kid off.
21:20
Speaker 2: I think they're still there, Like I know, they didn't
21:23
Speaker 2: leave yesterday. And if he would have been leaving this morning,
21:27
Speaker 2: he would not have been snapchatting me as late into
21:30
Speaker 2: the night.
21:30
Speaker 1: So he's still onto the snap chats.
21:32
Speaker 4: So the thing is with Armand for most that just
21:35
Speaker 4: goes to show you that Armand's his wonderments and his
21:38
Speaker 4: love of Vegas. He can spend a whole week there me.
21:42
Speaker 4: I mean, I know they got those IV trucks and stuff.
21:46
Speaker 4: Three three days, you know, four days, three nights.
21:50
Speaker 1: I'm tapped. I'm done. I got nothing left. I'm not
21:54
Speaker 1: gonna have the stamina of a young man anymore.
21:55
Speaker 2: I'm like a kid in an amusement park or like
21:57
Speaker 2: a disney like I need a build in a I
21:59
Speaker 2: need to build in one buffer day, right, there needs
22:01
Speaker 2: to be one day where you find a way to
22:03
Speaker 2: escape a lot of the partying in Shenanigans.
22:06
Speaker 1: We're going to reprieve, Yeah, I might not go that far, but.
22:09
Speaker 2: I'll definitely like right, like I'm gonna I'm gonna do
22:11
Speaker 2: some observation day, right, I'm gonna do I'm gonna do
22:14
Speaker 2: a little.
22:14
Speaker 1: Uh but walking try to the pool, just to crash
22:18
Speaker 1: and gather yourself and maybe have a cocktailer to to
22:21
Speaker 1: help you nap by the pool. Yes, just that, just
22:25
Speaker 1: that you don't you know, hard to close those eyes. Yeah,
22:27
Speaker 1: you're right, no doubt about anything. Eight seven seven seven
22:31
Speaker 1: three Bucks lost to the Pistons last night. They got drubbed.
22:34
Speaker 4: And all we have left now is the final home
22:38
Speaker 4: game coming up tomorrow night, and it comes to a
22:42
Speaker 4: merciful end.
22:43
Speaker 1: And then it comes to a merciful end.
22:44
Speaker 4: But we have to see whether the Bucks cave and
22:46
Speaker 4: let Giannis play with his brothers at least for a
22:48
Speaker 4: little bit.
22:49
Speaker 1: Let I start them and then get them out, get
22:52
Speaker 1: him out early. See, the only thing is start all
22:54
Speaker 1: three of them, and I want to go through the
22:57
Speaker 1: the and get that highlight.
22:58
Speaker 2: Right, dap each other up during the celebration. Have Eric
23:01
Speaker 2: Jensen get off the names. I love that deal. I
23:04
Speaker 2: would wonder if it did. Last two weeks have harmed
23:08
Speaker 2: their ability to do that right, like from would it
23:11
Speaker 2: be an admission of guilt and look into the NBA
23:14
Speaker 2: of like, all right, now, the investigations will different. So
23:17
Speaker 2: I almost wonder if it wouldn't have been, and then
23:20
Speaker 2: we wouldn't have seen the big stink of it the
23:21
Speaker 2: last two weeks and the investigations, if that could have
23:24
Speaker 2: been their plan.
23:25
Speaker 4: And the cynic in me says, if they do it,
23:27
Speaker 4: they should just spring it as a surprise. Otherwise it
23:29
Speaker 4: looks like you're trying to sell those last few tickets
23:31
Speaker 4: to the game. I absolutely we're trying to attendance, because
23:36
Speaker 4: you know, they've never done that.
23:38
Speaker 1: Oh, Jiannis is back, like definitely back. They've never It's like, oh,
23:41
Speaker 1: there is. They have not said it until day of day.
23:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, day a game, don't you know, like when he
23:46
Speaker 4: popped back, didn't he come back for a Boston game?
23:49
Speaker 1: Or wasn't it.
23:50
Speaker 2: Against Boston and it broke earlier in the morning. You're right, yeah,
23:54
Speaker 2: So it's like it should be that way. Well, and
23:56
Speaker 2: I thought potentially they were setting it up to announce
23:59
Speaker 2: last night when in the conversation with Eric Name and
24:03
Speaker 2: Jim Ozarski, John John Hammond, John Horst had said I'll
24:08
Speaker 2: know a lot more on Wednesday to his availability going
24:13
Speaker 2: forward on on Friday. I kind of thought that was
24:15
Speaker 2: a loose tease of stay close on Wednesday night and
24:20
Speaker 2: then maybe we let Doc tell you that on Friday,
24:23
Speaker 2: we're gonna be able to suit up, be honest, and
24:25
Speaker 2: he's gonna go out there, or or maybe he just says,
24:29
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm not gonna put on my suite
24:31
Speaker 2: atta Kombros gear and my Atlanta Braves had that he
24:34
Speaker 2: was rocking last night, and I'm just gonna throw on
24:37
Speaker 2: my warm up with my jersey on underneath, and Darry.
24:40
Speaker 1: You did not let me walk over there?
24:41
Speaker 2: Pretty well, that would be that would be hilarious, Like
24:44
Speaker 2: I think, I think that would raise the tension to
24:46
Speaker 2: another level. If you really want the drama and you
24:49
Speaker 2: really think that it's gonna have to get dicey, that
24:51
Speaker 2: would be a way that he turns the temperature up.
24:52
Speaker 2: I don't think he hasn't shown that he wants to
24:55
Speaker 2: do that or is ready to go to that length
24:59
Speaker 2: of it. But I wouldn't be surprised if somebody told
25:01
Speaker 2: them that that's gonna be your easiest way to make
25:03
Speaker 2: some rattle some cages and get some eyes.
25:06
Speaker 4: Which relationship arc is more interesting to you of Rabel
25:10
Speaker 4: Russini or Bucks Giannis because uh, as far as I know,
25:16
Speaker 4: neither the Bucks nor Jannis have hired a private investigator
25:19
Speaker 4: with a telephoto lens to take photos, right, because.
25:24
Speaker 2: Those are pretty dang good photos, aren't they? Drue you
25:27
Speaker 2: start thinking back to it. I don't know, I know,
25:29
Speaker 2: I know pretty good. I don't think they got that
25:32
Speaker 2: kind that kind of zoom and now stuff like this
25:36
Speaker 2: in La guys make a living with this, But I
25:38
Speaker 2: don't know that the Paparassi steaks out Sedona.
25:41
Speaker 4: So it makes you think someone was working getting these photos.
25:45
Speaker 1: And then sold them to the poster or you know,
25:49
Speaker 1: it was.
25:49
Speaker 2: A message has been sent and I'm excited to figure
25:52
Speaker 2: out who because that's good.
25:53
Speaker 1: Which spouse had the suspicions and I don't.
25:56
Speaker 2: Know, or was it I don't know, maybe another media
25:59
Speaker 2: outlet that got wind of it and said, maybe we
26:01
Speaker 2: try to create this thing for the athletic.
26:04
Speaker 4: And again I'm not sitting in judgment, and that could
26:07
Speaker 4: have been totally innocent.
26:08
Speaker 1: It's bad optics, as we like to say in the industry.
26:11
Speaker 2: The interlocking fingers makes me feel struggled as possibility. Yeah,
26:17
Speaker 2: of all your platonic friends and stuff, that is weird.
26:20
Speaker 2: And then how you and I drive home from packers
26:22
Speaker 2: ot exactly And then someone said, uh, in order to
26:25
Speaker 2: get to the rooftop the only the only access to
26:28
Speaker 2: that rooftop area that they were at was through the
26:31
Speaker 2: bedroom of the unit.
26:33
Speaker 1: And it's like, oh, well, okay.
26:35
Speaker 2: I don't know, and a two person hundred a night,
26:39
Speaker 2: and it's it's a thorny thing.
26:41
Speaker 4: And the thing is like, if even if Diana Rassini
26:43
Speaker 4: did nothing wrong, her reputation has been impugned and she's
26:47
Speaker 4: now in some ways damaged by this scandal, even if
26:51
Speaker 4: it was totally innocent. It's hard, you know, it's she's
26:54
Speaker 4: taking shots to the hall here of her integrity and
26:58
Speaker 4: her reporting, particularly when it comes to aj Brown and
27:01
Speaker 4: those rumors and for sure everything that she's you know,
27:04
Speaker 4: done that people are gonna go unearthed stuff. And did
27:06
Speaker 4: she favor the Titans when variable was there to.
27:09
Speaker 1: Ge like I was gonna say in relationship with him
27:11
Speaker 1: when he played like, I don't know.
27:12
Speaker 2: I should have seen more and should have done more
27:14
Speaker 2: digging on it of what she had said about Stefan
27:17
Speaker 2: Dicks in the reporting that was going on there going
27:19
Speaker 2: on this year, and maybe the conversation that she was
27:22
Speaker 2: able to have during the lead up to the Super Bowl.
27:24
Speaker 2: I just you also found or could sense that there
27:29
Speaker 2: were some people in Nashville that were really enjoying the
27:33
Speaker 2: conversation yesterday. That made me start to think, Oh, there's
27:37
Speaker 2: been some smoke about this potentially for for quite some
27:40
Speaker 2: some Kermit the Frog memes. Yeah, I saw a lot,
27:43
Speaker 2: and I saw I saw certain people that used to
27:45
Speaker 2: work at different radio outlets now they got their podcast.
27:47
Speaker 1: Being like I was there and somebody told me they
27:50
Speaker 1: were walking in we were.
27:51
Speaker 2: You're gonna have twenty four hours to get your story straight,
27:54
Speaker 2: and I'm interested to know when the post obviously March
27:58
Speaker 2: twenty eighth, they have this stuff for a week while
28:02
Speaker 2: they would have gotten them together. And this is where
28:05
Speaker 2: I really started to enjoy the reading yesterday because I
28:08
Speaker 2: read way too much of it. Yes, I may have
28:10
Speaker 2: read more yesterday on page six than I have of
28:13
Speaker 2: any magazine that there's been in quite some time. I
28:16
Speaker 2: was really really enjoying it. Back into the Bachelor versions
28:19
Speaker 2: here Hunter, it felt that way that the amount of
28:26
Speaker 2: interactions or things that have gotten questioned by Diana Rossini.
28:32
Speaker 2: I don't know that there's been anything more than she
28:34
Speaker 2: had just bashed her poor husband on a microphone.
28:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, a bunch of different times.
28:40
Speaker 2: Again, it's the what do you give yourself in the
28:43
Speaker 2: terms of social grace category? And when something flares up
28:47
Speaker 2: like this and you've said enough things into a microphone,
28:50
Speaker 2: they're good stories, they're funny until all of a sudden,
28:52
Speaker 2: the shoes on the other foot and she was getting
28:55
Speaker 2: everything thrown back at her.
28:56
Speaker 1: And the thing that gives me pause is that I,
29:00
Speaker 1: you know, been in this business a long time, worked
29:02
Speaker 1: alongside and against you know, many females, and they have
29:07
Speaker 1: it tougher they do. There's no in a male dominated
29:10
Speaker 1: world and stuff now, and man, I've seen so many
29:17
Speaker 1: women that I know where they have to have their
29:19
Speaker 1: guard up. Players gyms.
29:20
Speaker 4: We've seen famous cases of gems being fired for you know,
29:24
Speaker 4: lewd suggestions. And I've heard I've heard firsthand like horror
29:29
Speaker 4: stories from women players sliding in the d MS, players
29:31
Speaker 4: and locker rooms making comments.
29:33
Speaker 1: It's just it.
29:34
Speaker 4: Sports media isn't all it's cracked up to be. But
29:36
Speaker 4: from that side of it, it can be even harder, right,
29:39
Speaker 4: And so what they're up against. There's one woman that
29:42
Speaker 4: I know that from my beat writing days and stuff,
29:44
Speaker 4: who wrote an essay in The New York Times that
29:48
Speaker 4: she was raped by a player, she who had invited
29:50
Speaker 4: her to his hotel room for an interview. And she's like, oh,
29:53
Speaker 4: what was I thinking going there? It's a lot like
29:55
Speaker 4: the Weinstein thing, you know, it's just a creepy thing.
29:57
Speaker 4: And she she wrote that out. It was Kathleen O'Brien.
30:02
Speaker 4: She wrote the essay and it was just chilling and
30:05
Speaker 4: just made just sick.
30:07
Speaker 1: Right. So there's that side of it. And then for
30:09
Speaker 1: everyone where this there is this relationship, it damages the
30:14
Speaker 1: whole because already when I get back, so many knuckle
30:19
Speaker 1: draggers see women work in the business. Oh there she's
30:22
Speaker 1: sleeping with players. The good stories like that ain't how it.
30:25
Speaker 4: Works, right, But this happens for people that are doing
30:29
Speaker 4: it the right exactly. It gives them AMMO for the
30:32
Speaker 4: and and that's the outlier, like most of them are like,
30:35
Speaker 4: you know, incredibly, because I've had conversation with Lori Nickel
30:38
Speaker 4: and just other people that I worked with, and it's
30:40
Speaker 4: just the stuff they have to deal with is crazy.
30:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's different level, and Drew I, like I wanted to,
30:47
Speaker 2: I kind of refrained from it immediately when I heard
30:50
Speaker 2: people say, oh, this sets back women in sports journalism
30:52
Speaker 2: twenty years, I'm like, Okay, let's pump the brakes here.
30:54
Speaker 1: Yeah.
30:55
Speaker 2: However, from the people that want there to be a
30:59
Speaker 2: little bit of of sensationalism, a little bit of intrigue
31:03
Speaker 2: and drama. That way, it adds fuel and stake something
31:06
Speaker 2: to a fire that otherwise didn't get oxygen. And that's
31:10
Speaker 2: the tough one for the people that are doing it right.
31:12
Speaker 2: On the list of the people I felt were the
31:14
Speaker 2: worst for it was Diana Rossini's husband or two young
31:18
Speaker 2: boys for once they end up reading this story in tennis,
31:21
Speaker 2: the Internet's going to be on there forever. And then
31:25
Speaker 2: next up was all the women in sports journalism that
31:29
Speaker 2: get side eyes for being on television and when a
31:34
Speaker 2: lot of it is extremely unjust and doesn't make a
31:36
Speaker 2: whole lot of sense, because this will add into all
31:40
Speaker 2: of the doubts that some people want to have and
31:43
Speaker 2: will have for it, and for somebody that has gotten
31:46
Speaker 2: to right near the top of the totem pole in
31:50
Speaker 2: sports media when you're covering the NFL and you're getting
31:53
Speaker 2: scoops like this. There's not a whole lot of better
31:56
Speaker 2: spots from the reporting angle that you can get. You
31:58
Speaker 2: can get into a lot more real stories are really
32:01
Speaker 2: telling stories. Uh, but from just the I get to
32:05
Speaker 2: pump out a tweet and if I'm first, I win.
32:08
Speaker 2: She was right there and getting close to the shefters
32:10
Speaker 2: and rappaports right now. It's gonna be hard to see
32:13
Speaker 2: it just back to where she was at. Also, the
32:16
Speaker 2: Scoop City podcast that everybody was listening to, I think
32:19
Speaker 2: everybody was listening to that podcast has mysteriously gone away.
32:25
Speaker 2: M hadn't been hadn't been a new video in quite
32:29
Speaker 2: some time. They sent I believe her out to the
32:32
Speaker 2: owner's meetings. Well she was there a little bit four too,
32:36
Speaker 2: and out of the combine and everything. There's not been
32:38
Speaker 2: a video I think since the playoffs. So again, maybe
32:42
Speaker 2: there was some smoke, maybe there was something to it.
32:44
Speaker 2: The Athletic has said, Uh, she's a great reporter. We're
32:47
Speaker 2: back in her. We're all good with this, but we'll
32:49
Speaker 2: see how this continues to churn because, uh, the internet's.
32:52
Speaker 1: Doing its thing.
32:53
Speaker 2: Drew and it's fine that any single, possibly little possible,
32:57
Speaker 2: little breadcrumb between those two that you can and the.
33:00
Speaker 4: Rumors going back to the commander's front office and Scott McLuhan,
33:04
Speaker 4: who started as a packer scout.
33:06
Speaker 2: Oh and then there was there was one yesterday of
33:09
Speaker 2: a certain grouping of now head coaches in the NFL
33:14
Speaker 2: that we're at one time working for the then Washington Redskins.
33:17
Speaker 2: So it was it was bubbling up yesterday, good game
33:21
Speaker 2: of telephone on the bird app yesterday, which we're always
33:24
Speaker 2: which we appreciate when we're back into let's make a
33:28
Speaker 2: bunch of good jokes, right, I appreciate the jokes that
33:31
Speaker 2: go on social media because we are too. There's a
33:35
Speaker 2: lot of very very heavy stuff on there, especially when
33:38
Speaker 2: your algorithm sees you watch one video for twelve seconds,
33:41
Speaker 2: it thinks, oh, you want to see a lot more
33:42
Speaker 2: of these. I got a lot more raw alerts that
33:45
Speaker 2: you're gonna want to watch.
33:46
Speaker 1: No, I don't want to watch those, no, thank you.
33:48
Speaker 2: But when I get enough of the hilarious memes and
33:52
Speaker 2: former Simpson memes of Mike Vrabel right after the Super Bowl,
33:57
Speaker 2: just instead of a hedge rolling right into us bundle, Yeah.
34:00
Speaker 1: I enjoyed that one. Hey, I was doing its thing
34:03
Speaker 1: last night.
34:03
Speaker 4: It was having some fun. Well, fortunately or maybe good
34:07
Speaker 4: or bad. We are two weeks today from the NFL Draft.
34:10
Speaker 1: Oh that's fair. We're going to talk about this because
34:12
Speaker 1: we mentioned it.
34:13
Speaker 4: Maybe it's just the hangover of the draft being in
34:15
Speaker 4: Green Bay last year and us all remembering how awesome
34:18
Speaker 4: that was and how much the anticipation was. We were
34:20
Speaker 4: basically building up to it from the moment the super
34:22
Speaker 4: Bowl ended till the draft, and now this year it's like, oh, yeah,
34:25
Speaker 4: the draft Packers have a first round pick.
34:28
Speaker 1: Wait, wake me when we get to the middle of
34:30
Speaker 1: round two.
34:31
Speaker 2: I had to confirm it with another source, Drew, Like
34:34
Speaker 2: you said, your mom tells you a lover. Yeah, go
34:36
Speaker 2: and get it verified by two or three sources.
34:38
Speaker 1: That's right.
34:38
Speaker 2: I went and got our speculation, tried to get it
34:41
Speaker 2: verified yesterday, and I think I got it confirmed that
34:44
Speaker 2: it's not just us with a draft malaise as we're
34:48
Speaker 2: waiting to try to get there to the two weeks.
34:50
Speaker 2: It does not have nearly the kind of juice. And
34:53
Speaker 2: I got that confirmed pretty good yesterday.
34:55
Speaker 1: Excellent. Yeah, because that's just the way we've got Frozen
34:58
Speaker 1: four hockey.
34:58
Speaker 4: Today, we're gonna hear from my case in some of
35:00
Speaker 4: the players Hunter who got some sound to spin through
35:02
Speaker 4: We do as we roll forward on the program Renewed Baby,
35:06
Speaker 4: It's a free flowing Thursday.
35:08
Speaker 1: I guess we're a little punch drunk today. It feels
35:11
Speaker 1: a little this a tire, feels like a Wednesday.
35:13
Speaker 4: We need another energy drink here and you can be
35:16
Speaker 4: our lifeline eight seven seven seven ninety four one ninety
35:19
Speaker 4: seven three on the Nicolay Law dot Com Talk and
35:22
Speaker 4: text line.
35:23
Speaker 1: You are in the huddle on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
35:29
Speaker 4: Huddled up on a Thursday, Drew Billy and Hunter Bombguard
35:32
Speaker 4: sliding into the producer's chair for Armand Sarian who was
35:35
Speaker 4: replaced by David Gasper earlier this week. Andrew Ludwigs had
35:38
Speaker 4: a hand when Armand was gone as well.
35:41
Speaker 1: Like I said, it takes a village, and not just
35:44
Speaker 1: one person can village. Yes.
35:47
Speaker 4: Eight seven seven seven nine four ninety seven three is
35:50
Speaker 4: your ticket to the Nicolay Law dot Com talk and
35:52
Speaker 4: text line. Appreciate all you uh you know armchair program
35:56
Speaker 4: directors out there telling us you're sick of us talking
35:59
Speaker 4: about the masters and you're sick of us talking about
36:02
Speaker 4: Mike Rabel and Diana Rassini. Sorry for the malpractice we've
36:06
Speaker 4: committed talking about the two biggest stories in sports.
36:08
Speaker 1: Today because they're way too good nothing, I mean, really no.
36:16
Speaker 4: Instead, I think, how dare you talk about what everybody's
36:19
Speaker 4: talking about in your industry? And then even the casuals
36:22
Speaker 4: are looking at this, Yeah, the page six stuff.
36:25
Speaker 1: Everybody's getting that.
36:26
Speaker 2: I think my favorite text that we've gotten in here
36:28
Speaker 2: is from Tommy and Stallas, and he's spot on with it.
36:30
Speaker 2: When you dropped the h in our conversation about ESPN
36:33
Speaker 2: and Jason Kelsey being a part of that part three
36:35
Speaker 2: yesterday when you called it the human centipede of self promotion,
36:39
Speaker 2: I did not give that the appropriate pot because I
36:42
Speaker 2: didn't want to know if that was something you've trademarked
36:45
Speaker 2: that I should have been familiar with your game on that.
36:47
Speaker 1: That was hilarious. That was impromptu, but it kind of
36:51
Speaker 1: sums up my feeling about ESPN and the way it
36:53
Speaker 1: promotes everything.
36:54
Speaker 2: Because you're not wrong again, I immediately, Yeah, all their
36:57
Speaker 2: shows like even like sports Center exists to promote up
37:00
Speaker 2: which exists to promote Sports Center and it's all steven a. Well, yeah,
37:04
Speaker 2: and now it's dan Orlowski saying that Ty Simpsons better
37:06
Speaker 2: than Fernando Mendoza. Like the only thing that was better
37:09
Speaker 2: for them of him being wrong is that they did
37:12
Speaker 2: it on the that he did it on a camera. Yeah,
37:14
Speaker 2: so now they can pump it for four weeks. And
37:17
Speaker 2: all I could think of when you said that was
37:19
Speaker 2: the South Park episode of the Human Centipede, when they're saying,
37:23
Speaker 2: dang it, the human SENTI pad pardon me?
37:26
Speaker 1: Why can we not make it read? Why can we
37:29
Speaker 1: not make it funny? That's all of.
37:31
Speaker 2: The ESPN execs wondering why yesterday, why why can we
37:34
Speaker 2: not make them like what we have here?
37:36
Speaker 1: We have Jason Kelcey. That's what everybody wants, right.
37:39
Speaker 4: Our movie guy, Matt Miller is our go to guy
37:41
Speaker 4: for all things film. He likes horror movies. That's one
37:43
Speaker 4: of his genres. Man, me not so much. I like
37:46
Speaker 4: the old I like to laugh, like Halloween. Yeah, I
37:48
Speaker 4: like to laugh more than I like to be scared
37:50
Speaker 4: at movies. But that Human Centipede thing is one of
37:52
Speaker 4: the creepiest movies. Like, you're probably better off not googling it.
37:55
Speaker 4: If you're having your your morning Kringle, and yeah, you
37:59
Speaker 4: might not want to see what the premise of that
38:01
Speaker 4: movie is. It's pretty disgusting. So eh, well but it
38:05
Speaker 4: just came to me. But it is if ESPN, like
38:08
Speaker 4: their programming exists too, you know how you to watch
38:12
Speaker 4: more ESPN. Yes, the industrial complex, like you know, Windy
38:16
Speaker 4: talked about this rumor and we're going to talk about
38:18
Speaker 4: it all day and then like that's their churn, is
38:21
Speaker 4: reacting to the spark that they lit.
38:24
Speaker 2: Then then three months later when it doesn't flare up,
38:27
Speaker 2: then it's the folks on ESPN complaining about the Yannis
38:31
Speaker 2: Milwaukee Bucks drama lasting too long. Well, you guys are
38:34
Speaker 2: the ones that flared up the conversation with Shams eighteen
38:37
Speaker 2: months ago. So if you're upset about it, why don't
38:39
Speaker 2: you be upset with the producers that continue to throw
38:41
Speaker 2: it in front of everyone's face. Now there's actual comments
38:44
Speaker 2: to discuss, there's actual statements from him himself, the GM himself,
38:49
Speaker 2: and instead we don't.
38:50
Speaker 1: Talk about those ones. We just talked about what our
38:51
Speaker 1: guys talk about, what our guys have.
38:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, so yeah, the honest situation again, as we head
38:57
Speaker 4: towards what may or may not be his final home
39:00
Speaker 4: game at Faster Form, his final appearance kind of with
39:04
Speaker 4: the Bucks?
39:05
Speaker 1: Is that coming up? It's Friday? Is that it? And
39:07
Speaker 1: should he play?
39:08
Speaker 4: If you're the GM, You're right, Billy, it's a thorny
39:11
Speaker 4: thing now because it'd be an admission of guilt.
39:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, you might be. You might be walking yourself. If
39:15
Speaker 2: he plays Friday, then do you play him? Do you
39:18
Speaker 2: have to play him Sunday in the finale? Do you
39:20
Speaker 2: have to in Philly?
39:21
Speaker 1: Do you have to? You know which?
39:23
Speaker 2: If he wanted to play one other, one last road game,
39:26
Speaker 2: I think he might enjoy that send up.
39:28
Speaker 1: What's happening with the Bucks?
39:28
Speaker 4: And this whole tanking thing is not dissimilar to back
39:32
Speaker 4: in the day when baseball teams could expand to forty
39:34
Speaker 4: men and you had and the kind of unwritten arrangement
39:39
Speaker 4: was if you're playing a team that is in the
39:42
Speaker 4: playoff hunt or has you know, I'm playing meaningful games
39:45
Speaker 4: trying to secure their place in the playoffs or win
39:47
Speaker 4: their division or something. You were supposed to play your
39:48
Speaker 4: best players, not play a bunch of guys with numbers.
39:51
Speaker 4: In the seventies, like spring training to electric you were
39:55
Speaker 4: supposed to, you know, in those games, like if you.
39:58
Speaker 1: Were playing somebody who else else's headed.
40:00
Speaker 4: For the lottery, go ahead, yeah, do what you want
40:03
Speaker 4: or whatever, like, do what you want. But then the
40:06
Speaker 4: integrity of the schedule, And I think that's part of
40:08
Speaker 4: the problem with the NBA, is the integrity of the
40:10
Speaker 4: schedule when you're doing it with an injury, or we're
40:13
Speaker 4: doing it towards the end of the season. How do
40:15
Speaker 4: you reconcile that when guys are load managing in January.
40:19
Speaker 2: Right when when it's lost the league and it's across
40:21
Speaker 2: the entire six months, it's hard to be able to
40:24
Speaker 2: fully identify. But Drew like in the NFL this year
40:27
Speaker 2: when teams are figuring out we got four wins and
40:32
Speaker 2: there's no way we're going to make.
40:33
Speaker 1: It into the playoffs.
40:34
Speaker 2: I'm equating it almost to like when Burrow was debating
40:37
Speaker 2: if he was going to come back, and immediately the
40:39
Speaker 2: reaction was, Joe Burrow is an idiot. Why would he
40:41
Speaker 2: come back? Like, why would he come back? Well, he
40:44
Speaker 2: wants to play. The team is the one that should
40:46
Speaker 2: say that they don't want him to go because it
40:48
Speaker 2: would be better off for everybody involved if you sat
40:52
Speaker 2: down and we figured out the best way to get
40:53
Speaker 2: the draft pick. The NFL is starting to figure it
40:56
Speaker 2: out because you got to be able to hit on
40:58
Speaker 2: the draft picks to get good players the end. It's
41:00
Speaker 2: the only way to build out your roster. So they're
41:02
Speaker 2: right into the soup.
41:03
Speaker 4: We're off and running with the Thursday edition. Hope you're
41:06
Speaker 4: having a great day. Let's get it started. We're an
41:09
Speaker 4: hour in the books, but we're gonna get better as
41:12
Speaker 4: we roll along. Dolph will be here in about a
41:14
Speaker 4: half hour. It's the Huddle. Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin
