- 0:28Speaker 2: Let's go out and kick some tape. I mean, there
- 0:30Speaker 2: you go. One, two, three.
- 0:32Speaker 1: We got some big plays coming.
- 0:33Speaker 3: What the hell's going on out here?
- 0:36Speaker 2: Yellow Weasel.
- 0:36Speaker 4: We're calling the plays, all right?
- 0:38Speaker 2: It is time.
- 0:39Speaker 3: What do you think you are?
- 0:41Speaker 1: I am!
- 0:41Speaker 2: With Drew Olsen.
- 0:42Speaker 3: When he spoke, he commanded your attention and he commanded
- 0:46Speaker 3: your respect.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Bill Schmidt.
- 0:47Speaker 3: That son of a gun is thick.
- 0:49Speaker 2: And Armin Sarian.
- 0:51Speaker 3: Daddy Sarian.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Welcome to the huddle.
- 0:52Speaker 3: Long time coming. The boys are back.
- 0:59Speaker 2: The boys are back. Enjoy it.
- 1:00Speaker 5: Takes it down the left-field line, it's a four-ball, and
- 1:03Speaker 5: it scoots past Hernandez to the corner.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Best for him with a first-game double.
- 1:06Speaker 6: Contreras gets to that ball, hooks it in the left field,
- 1:09Speaker 6: Terrain turns the corner, Milwaukee wastes no time.
- 1:11Speaker 5: Back at square one and a base hit from Contreras.
- 1:14Speaker 5: Here he cranks a high-line drive to deep right field,
- 1:17Speaker 5: Freeland's back, a loop and a catch! Freeland takes it
- 1:19Speaker 5: away from Freeman.
- 1:20Speaker 2: What a battle. How does it end? That's what they're for.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Jake Bowers is impressive at the walk. Christian Yellich.
- 1:35Speaker 4: Lines the ball, center field, it's down. Hamilton's in to
- 1:38Speaker 4: score the tying run. Tarrant comes in behind him. Milwaukee
- 1:42Speaker 4: takes the lead. And it's Christian Yonich coming through.
- 1:46Speaker 2: And that's going to be it. Wow.
- 1:48Speaker 7: I mean, he's fatigued.
- 1:49Speaker 6: By far the shortest start of Yoshinobu Yamamoto's postseason career.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Out of the game in the third inning. It's a
- 1:54Speaker 2: high drive to deep center. Pahez going back. It is gone.
- 1:56Speaker 2: And it's tied again. Contreras knew it. David Hamilton leads
- 2:06Speaker 2: off to sixth and.
- 2:07Speaker 6: Got hit by Brock Stewart. We've already seen you put
- 2:09Speaker 6: this man on. You're flirting with trouble if you're the Dodgers.
- 2:12Speaker 6: Now the Dodgers with a throw away. That's going to
- 2:15Speaker 6: be an interference on Freddie Freeman. Hamilton will stop at second.
- 2:19Speaker 6: He was going to get second either way.
- 2:22Speaker 2: To left field. It is down. It's Contreras delivering again.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Lures back in front.
- 2:32Speaker 5: Contreras has knocked in three of the fouls.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Got him!
- 2:34Speaker 2: Four up and four down for Uribe. Hamilton floats around
- 2:41Speaker 2: right field. Tucker watches it sink in. Hamilton on for
- 2:43Speaker 2: the fourth time. Here goes Hamilton.
- 2:44Speaker 3: First pitch.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Throw from Smith. It is not in time. And Hamilton
- 2:46Speaker 2: continues to be a terror.
- 2:46Speaker 3: Terrain.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Basic center field. That's Terrain.
- 2:48Speaker 4: 6-4.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Time to center field. That's got to find a home.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Terrain hits third and comes home. And a score as
- 2:50Speaker 2: Pothos kicks it. Throw to third is loaded. 7-4.
- 3:10Speaker 4: Pin perfection from Milwaukee and a 2-0 series lead over
- 3:15Speaker 4: the Dodgers.
- 3:21Speaker 8: Tuesday edition of The Huddle rolling along from headquarters, 920 Milwaukee,
- 3:26Speaker 8: 1070 Madison, iHeartRadio app, Facebook, X, and YouTube for your streamers.
- 3:30Speaker 3: Appreciate everybody listening to us.
- 3:32Speaker 8: No matter where you are. And maybe you're listening to us,
- 3:35Speaker 8: you know, Five in the morning in our old slot,
- 3:37Speaker 8: walking the dog.
- 3:38Speaker 7: Amen.
- 3:38Speaker 3: Get ready for your day. We appreciate y'all. Drew Wilson,
- 3:41Speaker 3: Bill Schmidt, Armin Sarian, Brewers, Dodgers.
- 3:44Speaker 8: Obviously, topic A, B, and C today. Still thinking about
- 3:48Speaker 8: the Packers getting ready for Sunday night football. We're also,
- 3:52Speaker 8: you know, the.
- 3:52Speaker 3: Rest of the world. There were a couple of exciting games.
- 3:54Speaker 8: After the Brewers buzz started to wear off last night,
- 3:58Speaker 8: settled in and watched a pretty good Monday night football game.
- 4:01Speaker 3: Yeah, that did not disappoint, man. Holy cow. And the undefeated... Sorry,
- 4:06Speaker 3: two and three. L.A. Rams. Come in after an L.
- 4:11Speaker 3: My goodness, Drew. I mean, that passing game is legit.
- 4:14Speaker 3: I see it, but we saw this schedule early on,
- 4:18Speaker 3: and goodness gracious, they're going to be playing from behind
- 4:21Speaker 3: here in the NFC. Drew's victory lap. It is. That
- 4:25Speaker 3: was your magnum opus. It was. Why would you even
- 4:29Speaker 3: bring that up?
- 4:30Speaker 2: Come on. Now, still the....
- 4:33Speaker 3: Odds on favorites win the Super Bowl at most sports books.
- 4:36Speaker 3: Still are. Including the Pottawatomie sports book, our favorite one
- 4:39Speaker 3: in the whole wide world, and the one that we'll
- 4:41Speaker 3: be pre-gaming game number four at on Thursday night. Rams 7-1,
- 4:45Speaker 3: Bills 7.5-1, tied with the San Francisco 49ers.
- 4:49Speaker 7: How do you think the Niners feel about that one?
- 4:52Speaker 7: The Niners are looking pretty good right now, obviously. Other
- 4:55Speaker 7: undefeated team, the Vikings, but no one really believes in them. Right,
- 4:59Speaker 7: it seems like.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 5:00Speaker 3: I see why.
- 5:01Speaker 7: I mean, the Rams had the talent when they put
- 5:03Speaker 7: it together. But as CJ points out on the YouTube stream,
- 5:06Speaker 7: they could be 1-4. He says they should be. I mean,
- 5:08Speaker 7: you could argue that. They should have won last night, too,
- 5:11Speaker 7: if they block up a field goal. So there's a
- 5:13Speaker 7: lot of ways to look.
- 5:14Speaker 3: At these things.
- 5:15Speaker 8: Now, also, last night, you had a pretty good game
- 5:19Speaker 8: between the Guardians and the Rays. Game 1, with the
- 5:22Speaker 8: Guardians beating odds, beating the odds and the expectations of
- 5:26Speaker 8: getting off the deck and winning their series against the
- 5:29Speaker 8: White Sox. And I thought, well, they're going to be
- 5:32Speaker 8: so hungover, they're going to get blown out. And maybe
- 5:34Speaker 8: it will because you go on adrenaline in some fashion.
- 5:38Speaker 8: It's like coming off a red-eye the day after. You
- 5:42Speaker 8: flow pretty well there, and then you get hit. Yeah,
- 5:44Speaker 8: the show-and-go aspect. I've seen it a lot when baseball
- 5:47Speaker 8: teams are coming off the West Coast trip and you've
- 5:49Speaker 8: got a game the next day. It hits you the
- 5:51Speaker 8: second day, so we'll see what happens tonight.
- 5:53Speaker 3: Yeah, like doing a 5 a.m. show after. Exactly. But
- 5:55Speaker 3: the Guardians.
- 5:57Speaker 8: And I'm getting the sense, and we're watching, you watch
- 5:59Speaker 8: that series cause it's high level baseball and BA's on
- 6:02Speaker 8: the call and it feels familiar. And, um, and not
- 6:05Speaker 8: for nothing, there's a chance that the Brewers will be
- 6:07Speaker 8: firing up a week from scouting a week from Friday.
- 6:09Speaker 3: Against the, uh, the winner of that series.
- 6:12Speaker 8: I don't think anybody around here, I haven't talked to
- 6:14Speaker 8: anybody who has a preference either way. It's like Cleveland, Tampa,
- 6:16Speaker 8: bring it on. Once you slay the Dodgers, it's like,
- 6:20Speaker 8: bring it on, whoever.
- 6:21Speaker 3: Instead, there's going to have to be the moment just like,
- 6:25Speaker 3: what was it, the Arizona-Michigan game this year in the
- 6:28Speaker 3: NCAA tournament. You do have to realize that there's going
- 6:30Speaker 3: to be a UConn saying on the other side. It
- 6:32Speaker 3: feels like this is the World Series you're playing right now.
- 6:35Speaker 3: Only the second NLCS, hard to believe, that there's been
- 6:39Speaker 3: two 100-win teams. Feels like this is the toughest one
- 6:43Speaker 3: to slay, and whoever's on the back end of it,
- 6:45Speaker 3: you just figure it out and try to win four games.
- 6:47Speaker 3: But until Drew last night watching the game, I didn't
- 6:50Speaker 3: have a preference. Now I do, realizing that for a
- 6:53Speaker 3: lot of Milwaukee fans and Wisconsin fans, going to Tampa
- 6:57Speaker 3: might be the easiest time to go to the World Series.
- 6:59Speaker 3: We're taking over.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Yes.
- 7:01Speaker 3: They're... LCS tickets are far from sold out. I mean,
- 7:05Speaker 3: there's a lot of space in there. And I'm seeing
- 7:08Speaker 3: right now a lot of snowbirds already down in the
- 7:11Speaker 3: Tampa area. Red hot leading the charge from the bar
- 7:15Speaker 3: for brunch on the pregame. I mean, that place could
- 7:18Speaker 3: be 50-50 coming into Tampa Bay. Here's the thing. I
- 7:22Speaker 3: have a friend who's a long time.
- 7:24Speaker 8: He was a baseball guy for USA Today for years,
- 7:26Speaker 8: and he's been a sports journalist for a long time.
- 7:29Speaker 8: And he lives in, he's born and raised there, but
- 7:31Speaker 8: he lives in Tampa, St.
- 7:33Speaker 3: Pete.
- 7:34Speaker 8: And he had a post about this because you saw
- 7:36Speaker 8: it in the upper reaches of the upper deck.
- 7:38Speaker 3: And I immediately went to their website to look at
- 7:40Speaker 3: the tickets. Did you? I love it.
- 7:42Speaker 8: He said, dynamic pricing in sports is out of control.
- 7:46Speaker 8: Until last weekend, the Rays and MLB had the entire
- 7:49Speaker 8: upper deck at Tropicana Field priced at $ 165 per ticket
- 7:51Speaker 8: to the ALCS. for a part of the ballpark that's
- 7:56Speaker 8: mostly been closed for 15 years. Yeah, they tarp over
- 7:58Speaker 8: it always, yeah. Having sold few tickets, they slashed the
- 8:01Speaker 8: prices over the weekend.
- 8:02Speaker 3: To $ 84. Too bad if you paid $ 165. Yikes, yeah.
- 8:05Speaker 8: They even cut some tickets to $ 41 for teachers and
- 8:08Speaker 8: first responders, which was a nice gesture.
- 8:10Speaker 3: Ouch.
- 8:11Speaker 8: When the game started, the top 15 rows of the
- 8:13Speaker 8: entire upper deck were empty. It looked like a dozen
- 8:16Speaker 8: marching bands had gotten up to take the field at
- 8:17Speaker 8: halftime of a college football game. This means that the
- 8:22Speaker 8: Rays and MLB either kept those seats exorbitantly priced or
- 8:26Speaker 8: screwed up their own dynamic pricing program and forgot to
- 8:28Speaker 8: discount those too. Fans eventually moved down into those seats,
- 8:32Speaker 8: but the Rays fell 5,000 short of selling out the
- 8:34Speaker 8: first ALCS game in St. Pete since 2008. Don't blame
- 8:38Speaker 8: the fan support or the market on this one. This
- 8:41Speaker 8: is the team and the league being short-sighted, tone deaf,
- 8:44Speaker 8: and making the simple process of buying a ticket infuriating.
- 8:47Speaker 7: And there probably is something to that because I know
- 8:50Speaker 7: the idea is, oh, Tampa, here we go.
- 8:51Speaker 3: Tampa's not supporting.
- 8:52Speaker 7: He probably wants to protect that market because there probably
- 8:54Speaker 7: is something to that. And it's probably an ugly process
- 8:57Speaker 7: when they don't usually sell the tickets, and they are.
- 8:59Speaker 7: The list of attendance last night was 35, 361. Now,
- 9:03Speaker 7: I think when they open it all up, it's 42.
- 9:06Speaker 7: But then when they don't tarp it like normal, they
- 9:08Speaker 7: only do it for special, special events, it's 25.
- 9:11Speaker 8: The flip side of that, I was talking to somebody
- 9:14Speaker 8: who said, yeah, the Dodgers don't even sell out their stadium.
- 9:16Speaker 8: Did you see that series they had against the Braves?
- 9:18Speaker 8: I'm like, well, wait a minute. Those empty seats were
- 9:21Speaker 8: on the surface of the sun. It was 104, and
- 9:25Speaker 8: those seats were in the upper deck as close as
- 9:27Speaker 8: you can get to the sun there, and it was roasting.
- 9:30Speaker 8: I don't know many people that would have the constitution
- 9:32Speaker 8: to sit in those seats for.
- 9:34Speaker 3: More than an inning. Right now, though, you go on
- 9:37Speaker 3: for game three of the NLCS at Dodger Stadium. A
- 9:43Speaker 3: ton of tickets available. See Bobby Gasser? A ton of
- 9:45Speaker 3: tickets available. Remember, they see 56,000. They see 56,000, and
- 9:48Speaker 3: they sell it out every night.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Right.
- 9:50Speaker 2: So you're right.
- 9:51Speaker 3: Clearly not. I was going to say, during the regular season.
- 9:55Speaker 8: But, but, and here's the thing, like there is in
- 9:58Speaker 8: that market, there are a lot of people, a lot
- 10:01Speaker 8: of Dodgers fans don't live in LA. Well, they've also
- 10:04Speaker 8: been their fan base and they've been to the, the,
- 10:06Speaker 8: the rodeo several times, a ton of times.
- 10:09Speaker 3: Yeah. Third straight time. By the way, we're relit.
- 10:12Speaker 8: We are reliving a Contreras is home run now watching
- 10:15Speaker 8: the trot for the ages as they replay it on
- 10:18Speaker 8: MLB network here in the studio. But those fans, you know,
- 10:22Speaker 8: the Dodgers fans. So it was hot at that game.
- 10:25Speaker 8: And if that 2-0 is a chilling effect.
- 10:30Speaker 2: Oh, big time.
- 10:30Speaker 3: It's like, oh, they're down 2-0. Well, then it's not
- 10:32Speaker 3: worth our effort. I mean, down the line, fifth row.
- 10:35Speaker 3: 290 bucks. Like a full rose available at Dodgers Stadium
- 10:40Speaker 3: for this upcoming game. It's cheaper than you'll find at AmFam,
- 10:44Speaker 3: for sure. Yeah, I mean, people were paying $ 200 easy
- 10:47Speaker 3: to get into the upper level. So, I mean, listen,
- 10:49Speaker 3: you've got to be Hunter Baumgart and fly out to L.A.,
- 10:51Speaker 3: but it wouldn't be a bad idea. Hunter's going to
- 10:53Speaker 3: be joining us with boots on the ground for these games.
- 10:56Speaker 3: But there's a lot of tickets available. And you're right, Drew,
- 10:59Speaker 3: the chilling effect is real. And I am fascinated to
- 11:03Speaker 3: see if the Brewers were to win tomorrow night. and
- 11:08Speaker 3: then all of a sudden they're a wolf pack of
- 11:10Speaker 3: badgers descending upon Pasadena, California, and a large contingent of
- 11:16Speaker 3: folks that are reaching over there to go to the
- 11:18Speaker 3: Rose Bowl on Saturday night, there might be a decent
- 11:21Speaker 3: amount of Wisconsin folks already planning on being out near L.A.
- 11:25Speaker 3: that are going to be capitalizing and going to these
- 11:27Speaker 3: next couple of years. Absolutely.
- 11:29Speaker 7: And a lot of people, this dynamic pricing is so interesting.
- 11:32Speaker 7: The way the market works now is because the commodity
- 11:35Speaker 7: of a ticket is basically predicting human behavior.
- 11:38Speaker 3: And human trends. And that's so true.
- 11:39Speaker 7: Like our, our Dodger fans, like, you know, chilled out
- 11:43Speaker 7: by this two Oh deficit, or are they just like,
- 11:46Speaker 7: we've been there or are they waiting for tickets to,
- 11:48Speaker 7: you know, just to see how low they can get
- 11:50Speaker 7: them or you're right. Billy will the, will the possibility
- 11:52Speaker 7: of clinching there. bringing influx of people there.
- 11:55Speaker 3: It's funny.
- 11:56Speaker 7: I was talking to my dad about this. Usually it
- 11:58Speaker 7: used to be the ticket prices were generally fixed, right?
- 12:02Speaker 7: Except for like street scalpers. And it was all about
- 12:05Speaker 7: time and commitment. You just had to wait in line
- 12:07Speaker 7: long enough to get the price or to get the
- 12:08Speaker 7: ticket at the price. Now it's a money commitment. You
- 12:11Speaker 7: don't have to do any of that. You just have
- 12:12Speaker 7: to be willing to pay up that whatever the market's
- 12:14Speaker 7: going to change to. as Brewer fans are starting to
- 12:17Speaker 7: talk about the next round of what World Series tickets
- 12:19Speaker 7: might cost. It's very interesting to see it.
- 12:22Speaker 2: You're right.
- 12:22Speaker 3: It might be cheaper to go there and buy a
- 12:24Speaker 3: ticket and come back. Now, what was the super special
- 12:28Speaker 3: golden ticket?
- 12:29Speaker 7: The golden ticket, when they sold that ticket, and I
- 12:32Speaker 7: want to blank it out. I believe it was $ 1, 000. $ 1, 000,
- 12:35Speaker 7: and you were guaranteed a seat to any game. How
- 12:37Speaker 7: about that? How many people were sitting around with that
- 12:39Speaker 7: ticket waiting to redeem it? I don't know if there
- 12:42Speaker 7: are any, and I don't know what the deal is,
- 12:44Speaker 7: but I'm just curious to know if anyone else is
- 12:46Speaker 7: thinking about that.
- 12:46Speaker 3: They released that. They sold at least 500 or so
- 12:49Speaker 3: when they, when they put it out.
- 12:50Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 12:51Speaker 3: Now I know they, they released the number that they
- 12:53Speaker 3: actually sold when they did.
- 12:54Speaker 7: Now, if you bought it just for the plaque and
- 12:56Speaker 7: just for the, cause you don't pick the seat they
- 12:58Speaker 7: pick for you. They could give you, I'm sure SRO
- 13:00Speaker 7: or they can give you. And then it's like, do
- 13:02Speaker 7: you do.
- 13:03Speaker 3: It for game one? Do you wait till game seven?
- 13:05Speaker 3: Do you not do it? You know what I mean?
- 13:06Speaker 3: Or are some redeemed already?
- 13:08Speaker 7: For last year's NLCS or 18 game seven.
- 13:12Speaker 3: Or Father's Day. A lot of possibilities.
- 13:14Speaker 2: Could be.
- 13:14Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe you laid it in there for
- 13:17Speaker 3: a certain day. You wanted to make sure you were
- 13:19Speaker 3: in there. I would be interested because right now, at
- 13:23Speaker 3: the trop, they have theirs on sale for, for the
- 13:26Speaker 3: next round. Again, looking ahead, like Armin said, you mentioned
- 13:29Speaker 3: fans don't have to wait. Fans don't have to dare
- 13:32Speaker 3: to dream unless you believe in the jinx and all that. $ 400,
- 13:36Speaker 3: $ 500 for a upper level world series ticket. You paid
- 13:38Speaker 3: a thousand bucks for that golden ticket. And that's where
- 13:40Speaker 3: they say you, you would arm. It would be losing
- 13:42Speaker 3: his mind.
- 13:43Speaker 2: Drew.
- 13:43Speaker 3: He would be, he would be furious with that one.
- 13:46Speaker 7: I got to buy a fans today, but I got
- 13:48Speaker 7: a buddy's Basically 1,000, 1,200 for terrace level.
- 13:51Speaker 3: I mean, that's what people are looking.
- 13:52Speaker 7: At right now.
- 13:53Speaker 3: It will be glorious to be there again. Are you
- 13:55Speaker 3: kidding me? Oh, my goodness. I can't imagine. I think
- 13:58Speaker 3: that's what everybody's looking at in Milwaukee. We've never done it.
- 14:01Speaker 3: We've been waiting for this moment.
- 14:03Speaker 7: A lot of us are looking at this as, you know,
- 14:06Speaker 7: we wait forever, break the bank once in a lifetime,
- 14:09Speaker 7: and that will drive those prices up, you know?
- 14:11Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 14:12Speaker 3: And then what's the effective– and, again, I don't want
- 14:15Speaker 3: to jinx anything.
- 14:16Speaker 8: What's the effective game six– then this is unnecessary, and
- 14:20Speaker 8: then people have money to roll.
- 14:23Speaker 3: Oh, for sure.
- 14:25Speaker 8: The investors in games 6 and 7 in the NLCS,
- 14:27Speaker 8: if those games are deemed not necessary by a Brewers
- 14:29Speaker 8: winning and not having to come back, there's a lot
- 14:32Speaker 8: of money to be spent on World Series, which would then,
- 14:35Speaker 8: the ticket prices will inflate heavily, so maybe now's the
- 14:38Speaker 8: time to jump on World Series tickets because that glut
- 14:41Speaker 8: of money is going to, the economics tell me, I
- 14:45Speaker 8: only took Econ 103, but I think that would tell
- 14:47Speaker 8: me that demand will go up and people.
- 14:50Speaker 3: Will have cash. You are spot on. They have not
- 14:52Speaker 3: released when they're going to put it out yet. So
- 14:55Speaker 3: you can still buy, obviously, your season tickets going forward.
- 14:58Speaker 3: Season ticket holders can buy that, yeah. But the pre-sale,
- 15:02Speaker 3: like the Wisconsin pre-sale, which ended up being when they
- 15:04Speaker 3: ended up releasing season tickets for both rounds, that one
- 15:08Speaker 3: has not been released. I would assume probably in the
- 15:10Speaker 3: next couple of days. It will be.
- 15:11Speaker 7: You know, it's like you run the risk. It's like
- 15:13Speaker 7: you run the risk of waiting for it to drop
- 15:15Speaker 7: or could go up. a buddy told me he could
- 15:17Speaker 7: have bought the whole playoff strip for basically the same
- 15:20Speaker 7: price as what he bought his game six tickets for.
- 15:22Speaker 3: And he's now, this would be game six of the
- 15:24Speaker 3: world series. I'm sorry.
- 15:25Speaker 7: Uh, and he's, and he's basically regretting not getting the strip. Well,
- 15:28Speaker 7: brewers love to hear that because now every time now
- 15:31Speaker 7: people are thinking, I better just get the playoff strip
- 15:33Speaker 7: now for all the games. And then, you know, then
- 15:36Speaker 7: you sell your tickets, then you have credit for the
- 15:38Speaker 7: season ticket holders.
- 15:39Speaker 3: You kind of lock them in. So, um, it's an
- 15:41Speaker 3: exciting time for sure to be a brewers fan.
- 15:43Speaker 8: You guys, uh, Here's one for you. You guys missed
- 15:47Speaker 8: it by a generation, but there was a time when
- 15:50Speaker 8: they would offer media tickets.
- 15:53Speaker 3: They'd send a little email to people in the media.
- 15:57Speaker 8: Not a credential, but if you worked in media like
- 16:00Speaker 8: our jobs, they offered you a chance to buy two,
- 16:03Speaker 8: and you had to buy them at face, but Hell yeah.
- 16:07Speaker 3: That would have been like man. That was a courtesy
- 16:09Speaker 3: they did. Now we don't get those curses. Screw the media.
- 16:11Speaker 3: We don't need you anymore. We haven't even got one
- 16:13Speaker 3: of those sweet sweatshirts. That's true. A shirt or something.
- 16:17Speaker 8: I need to remind our pal Leslie from the Brewers
- 16:20Speaker 8: that we are in the afternoons now.
- 16:21Speaker 3: We're still doing shows. Yeah, and those box bags. Pretty sweet.
- 16:25Speaker 3: I don't know that we can do the full John
- 16:26Speaker 3: Gruden unboxing video, but I think we'd put something pretty
- 16:29Speaker 3: solid together. Yeah, I'll take something. I won't resell it.
- 16:32Speaker 3: I promise. I'll wear it. For sure. For sure.
- 16:35Speaker 8: 877-794-1973, nicolaylaw.com, talk and text line. While we're here and
- 16:41Speaker 8: thinking about it, let's give a shout out to Saz
- 16:44Speaker 8: and the folks at Saz. We had a good day
- 16:45Speaker 8: there yesterday. Armin, sorry you missed out. We didn't save
- 16:47Speaker 8: you any pork belly or tenderloin sliders. You know what, though?
- 16:51Speaker 8: I felt your presence anyway, guys.
- 16:53Speaker 3: I felt like I was there.
- 16:54Speaker 8: It was great hanging out with Saz. Wojo from the
- 16:55Speaker 8: Admirals dropped by. We talked to a lot of people.
- 16:57Speaker 3: I got a message from a fellow who was like,
- 17:00Speaker 3: I wanted to talk to you, but you were on
- 17:01Speaker 3: the air. Oh, wait for the shuttle. Yeah.
- 17:03Speaker 8: He was waiting for the shuttle. I'm like, Oh, you
- 17:05Speaker 8: should have interrupted us. It's not like we're doing anything
- 17:07Speaker 8: that important.
- 17:08Speaker 3: No, a hundred percent. Got to see my man. Stein
- 17:10Speaker 3: had a baseball coach over at Carol. You, he was
- 17:12Speaker 3: out there. He's not even a brewer saying he was
- 17:14Speaker 3: taking it in. He's like, I can't miss this kind
- 17:16Speaker 3: of atmosphere. You got me. You got me messed up.
- 17:18Speaker 3: If you think I'm missing this one as he's a
- 17:20Speaker 3: transplant from St. Louis, but he was very open to
- 17:23Speaker 3: being able to cheer for the crew against the LA Dodgers.
- 17:25Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 17:26Speaker 3: It was packed there yesterday, drew. And I mean, listen,
- 17:29Speaker 3: catching the fever. Saz was catching the fever yesterday. That's awesome.
- 17:33Speaker 3: You could tell for a group that generally not even
- 17:36Speaker 3: open really on Mondays for any kind of traffic, them
- 17:39Speaker 3: to be open and busted open a little bit different
- 17:42Speaker 3: for the shuttle. That's playoff baseball, baby. And it was quick.
- 17:46Speaker 7: People realizing, yep, we're going to be over at Saz.
- 17:49Speaker 7: And when you're around Saz himself, it's like being around
- 17:51Speaker 7: a legend. He's truly the finest. He is the finest.
- 17:54Speaker 3: There's no doubt. CJ on YouTube, you guys need to
- 17:56Speaker 3: do every show with Saz's numbers game day. Hey, I
- 17:58Speaker 3: don't make the rules.
- 17:59Speaker 1: Hey, man.
- 17:59Speaker 3: Hey, if it works. If it works, it works. We're there, man.
- 18:02Speaker 3: I'm not going to argue it, especially if they got
- 18:04Speaker 3: more seat cushions. Yeah. They found some old collectible. The
- 18:08Speaker 3: old school Saz's brewer color foam seat cushions.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Oh, like.
- 18:14Speaker 7: Oh, like the ones that go at the games?
- 18:16Speaker 3: That you bring to the game. Oh, for the bleacher seats?
- 18:20Speaker 3: It said put your finest on the finest. It was great.
- 18:24Speaker 3: And it was the finest. That's frame-worthy, one of those.
- 18:27Speaker 3: That patio was phenomenal. It was roasting yesterday in that
- 18:30Speaker 3: heat dome, but I'll tell you what was nice and cool.
- 18:34Speaker 3: My finest was phenomenal yesterday sitting on that thing. Well,
- 18:37Speaker 3: isn't it amazing? We had this glorious, unusual, I don't
- 18:41Speaker 3: know if you call it Indian summer, but these warm days,
- 18:43Speaker 3: and we've Some people would still find a way to
- 18:45Speaker 3: complain about it was too hot last night at the game.
- 18:47Speaker 3: It was so unusual. Yeah, it was like 80 degrees.
- 18:49Speaker 3: As the folks that one of the folks that carries
- 18:52Speaker 3: the flag for October, it does need to chill out
- 18:55Speaker 3: just a tick.
- 18:56Speaker 2: Pause.
- 18:56Speaker 3: No, I mean, I pause like literally you're saying chill out. Yeah,
- 18:59Speaker 3: you just got to calm down just a little bit.
- 19:02Speaker 3: 86 needs to be 76. And that's perfect fall. That's perfect.
- 19:05Speaker 3: October hot day. Indeed. 86. A little bit tough on it.
- 19:10Speaker 3: What's the talking text line running up here? Is that
- 19:12Speaker 3: what you're staring at here? There's just a couple of them, yep.
- 19:14Speaker 3: I'm going to try to get you guys in here.
- 19:15Speaker 3: A lot of good ones, and everyone welcoming us to
- 19:18Speaker 3: our second day, the 4 a.m. of the afternoon.
- 19:20Speaker 7: We're glad you all traveled with the Steve's video experience.
- 19:23Speaker 7: I've got to check out that experience sometime. While Bill
- 19:25Speaker 7: might be the MVP of the series, guys, I mean, maybe.
- 19:28Speaker 7: I mean, there's a lot of good options, and that's
- 19:30Speaker 7: what's so exciting about this. Hard to even just say
- 19:32Speaker 7: might be. I think he's for sure.
- 19:34Speaker 3: He's in the mix for sure. Ian Ashby, I want
- 19:36Speaker 3: to say, could be. I mean, I wouldn't. Well, even
- 19:39Speaker 3: going forward, I think Contreras this past weekend was 25
- 19:43Speaker 3: or 30 to one to win World Series MVP. He's
- 19:47Speaker 3: now 11 to one right behind Jose Ramirez for odds
- 19:50Speaker 3: on winner. That's a guy that's pretty scary. Yes, you
- 19:54Speaker 3: get to the next round. The two cats that did
- 19:57Speaker 3: it last night for the Guardians were their main guys, right?
- 20:00Speaker 3: De Lauder, their rookie, and Ramirez, each with three knocks.
- 20:04Speaker 3: Their top of the lineups legit. And it would be
- 20:07Speaker 3: apropos for both of them to be the teams that
- 20:10Speaker 3: meet back to back managers of the year on the
- 20:12Speaker 3: national league and American league side vote and vote. And Murph,
- 20:17Speaker 3: I wanted to ask a rock about this. I'll make
- 20:19Speaker 3: sure to put it in later. You think about it,
- 20:21Speaker 3: drew how for a while it felt like baseball was
- 20:25Speaker 3: trending towards the man managers don't really matter. Like all
- 20:28Speaker 3: these decisions are kind of pre-made. We got it listed out.
- 20:31Speaker 3: Our analytics department tells us when we're going to watch
- 20:33Speaker 3: which guy that guy is not as important. Those two
- 20:37Speaker 3: dudes would completely flip that narrative on its head. And
- 20:40Speaker 3: yesterday you mentioned it with the Freddie Freeman moment. Like
- 20:43Speaker 3: that's the exact thing that no analytic can quantify being
- 20:49Speaker 3: able to go and figure out when I can freeze
- 20:50Speaker 3: the game for about a minute and a half. and
- 20:52Speaker 3: go and calm this thing down, be able to rip
- 20:54Speaker 3: a joke with the first baseman so I don't get
- 20:56Speaker 3: kicked out of here with the umpire and the trainer
- 20:57Speaker 3: talking to Hamilton. That ability is something that for a
- 21:01Speaker 3: long time was celebrated with managers. It feels like it's
- 21:04Speaker 3: really overlooked in today's game. Right. 100%. No question about it.
- 21:08Speaker 3: Hit us up, 877-794-1973. You are in the huddle, Fox
- 21:10Speaker 3: Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 21:19Speaker 8: Back on the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin, Drew, Billy,
- 21:21Speaker 8: and Armin bringing it to you, basking in the glow
- 21:23Speaker 8: of the Brewers' 2-0 lead against the Dodgers. Game three
- 21:26Speaker 8: tomorrow night on the West Coast.
- 21:28Speaker 3: Get a little break today.
- 21:30Speaker 8: Is there anything happening sports wise tonight? Other than the
- 21:33Speaker 8: guardians and race.
- 21:34Speaker 3: Game two, other than that, can I interest you in
- 21:37Speaker 3: Delaware against middle Tennessee?
- 21:39Speaker 1: Yes.
- 21:40Speaker 3: I'm not, I'm not enough of a degenerate to Florida
- 21:42Speaker 3: international against Jacksonville state trick, your trigger, maybe some preseason
- 21:48Speaker 3: NBA of the calves and magic.
- 21:52Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 21:52Speaker 3: I think I'll just hockey. Isn't there hockey? There's some,
- 21:54Speaker 3: there's some NHL.
- 21:55Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
- 21:56Speaker 3: No doubt.
- 21:56Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 21:57Speaker 3: You could, you could check out those sabers and Canadians.
- 21:59Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do, Drew.
- 22:01Speaker 3: And I've already got it planned out in Vegas and
- 22:03Speaker 3: the Preds later on tonight. Um, I'm dialing in, sitting
- 22:06Speaker 3: back and watching a little bit more of Packers and bears.
- 22:09Speaker 3: I've watched a ticks, ticks and pieces, bits and pieces
- 22:13Speaker 3: of the all 22. It's, pretty fun. If you want
- 22:16Speaker 3: to watch Jordan love, it's pretty fun. If you only
- 22:19Speaker 3: want to watch where the football goes, cause it kind
- 22:21Speaker 3: of goes to the right guy every single time. But
- 22:24Speaker 3: I do want to fully in, in vibe one last
- 22:27Speaker 3: time in that victory, because I don't know that with
- 22:31Speaker 3: the Brewers excitement, rightfully so. I don't know that I've
- 22:35Speaker 3: fully enjoyed the fact enough that after eight months of
- 22:40Speaker 3: making it their carpe diem, seize the moment, take the
- 22:44Speaker 3: North and never give it back. Their first opportunity to
- 22:48Speaker 3: do that in the NFC North this year, the Bears
- 22:51Speaker 3: scored six points. Unbelievable. What a great feeling. Against Carson
- 22:54Speaker 3: Wentz and the Minnesota Vikings at home. At home. Their
- 22:58Speaker 3: second time being able to take the North back and
- 23:01Speaker 3: never take it away and never give it back. They
- 23:04Speaker 3: got pantsed 31-7. And they couldn't even chant Green Bay sucks,
- 23:10Speaker 3: even though there were a number of different Illinois plates.
- 23:13Speaker 3: As good as it gets. Driving up to Lambeau Field.
- 23:16Speaker 3: Drew and I are driving up Armin on Sunday. Yeah.
- 23:20Speaker 3: And what did I say to you? I thought, this
- 23:22Speaker 3: might be 50-50. I'm nervous. I'm nervous how many Bears
- 23:26Speaker 3: fans are going to be in there. I thought it
- 23:27Speaker 3: was going to be worse than the Honolulu blue wave
- 23:30Speaker 3: that came through Lambeau a couple of years ago on
- 23:33Speaker 3: that Thursday night. It was like 35%. Packers got beat
- 23:37Speaker 3: up and they were chanting, let's go Lions all night long.
- 23:41Speaker 3: And instead, he just obliterated them. He sucked the life
- 23:45Speaker 3: out of them to the point where Ben Johnson couldn't
- 23:47Speaker 3: even say good game or see on Christmas on the handshake. Drew,
- 23:50Speaker 3: he was mute. So I do think I need to
- 23:54Speaker 3: sit back on my couch and fully enjoy what transpired
- 23:57Speaker 3: on Sunday. That's not bad. Because that's a pretty good
- 24:00Speaker 3: reminder as to where the NFC North could be. That
- 24:03Speaker 3: is one of those masterpieces you've got to enjoy.
- 24:05Speaker 7: It's like when you really feel like you cut the
- 24:07Speaker 7: lawn right and you've just got to look at it
- 24:08Speaker 7: for a little bit longer and take another lap around
- 24:11Speaker 7: and ask people if they saw it. That is just
- 24:14Speaker 7: that feeling. It wasn't fluky. It wasn't an ugly way.
- 24:18Speaker 7: It was just the most glorious.
- 24:19Speaker 3: And the fact.
- 24:20Speaker 7: The way the Packers did it, by finding a weakness,
- 24:24Speaker 7: exploiting it over and over again, just absolutely throwing daggers
- 24:29Speaker 7: into their heart after every time. You know LeFleur just
- 24:33Speaker 7: absolutely took that whiny guy, Ben Johnson, to the woodshed.
- 24:37Speaker 3: It was glorious.
- 24:38Speaker 8: There's a lot of talk in LeFleur. He downplayed it.
- 24:43Speaker 8: took the Denny Green high road. He was like, eh,
- 24:46Speaker 8: it's about us. He has never bought, and some people
- 24:50Speaker 8: were ripping him for that.
- 24:52Speaker 3: Very much so, yes.
- 24:53Speaker 8: A lot of panelists and former players and stuff, the
- 24:56Speaker 8: media pundit class.
- 24:57Speaker 3: Wanted him to get more mad.
- 24:58Speaker 8: They wanted him to get more mad and says, no,
- 25:00Speaker 8: screw you, you're in our house. But then he just
- 25:02Speaker 8: let the game do the talking. And that was an
- 25:06Speaker 8: interesting part, but you did feel a rumbling, Billy, and
- 25:10Speaker 8: there was a rumbling that the players... Kind of felt
- 25:13Speaker 8: like they had his back and the players wanted to,
- 25:15Speaker 8: especially like the Luther Burden thing.
- 25:17Speaker 3: Totally agree.
- 25:18Speaker 8: The players wanted to cape up and maybe, I'm sure
- 25:21Speaker 8: it was probably something like, hey, It's about, don't say
- 25:24Speaker 8: anything about them.
- 25:25Speaker 3: Don't even do it. Let's just take care of it
- 25:27Speaker 3: on the field. But it was an undercurrent. Big time.
- 25:30Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 25:31Speaker 3: And it's one of those where hearing from the guys
- 25:33Speaker 3: that are there every single day, you could almost feel
- 25:37Speaker 3: that they could sense a little bit more mounting optimism
- 25:41Speaker 3: and belief that way. But the other part of it is, Drew, like,
- 25:44Speaker 3: How many times last year, especially against Chicago, were you
- 25:48Speaker 3: wondering for somebody to be, I mean, the badass is
- 25:51Speaker 3: kind of the easier stated way of saying it, but
- 25:54Speaker 3: the vocal leader on the field that can somewhat calm
- 25:56Speaker 3: something down or rile everybody up. And it appears they
- 26:01Speaker 3: might just have that in Zaire Franklin because his play
- 26:04Speaker 3: on the field has not been great. You go back
- 26:07Speaker 3: and watch that Atlanta game, not tape you want to
- 26:09Speaker 3: watch for Zaire Franklin. He missed a lot of tackles
- 26:11Speaker 3: in that game. He has been maybe not the most
- 26:14Speaker 3: assignment sound throughout the entire year. Pro Football Focus probably
- 26:18Speaker 3: doesn't love his grade, but the one thing they can't
- 26:20Speaker 3: grade is the fact that they needed some more adults
- 26:24Speaker 3: in the room. And that's not saying that they had
- 26:26Speaker 3: guys that were stepping out of bounds or being late
- 26:29Speaker 3: or not doing the right professional things. But I do believe, Drew,
- 26:34Speaker 3: that there's a confidence that that guy has, a swagger
- 26:37Speaker 3: that they desperately needed to add to that group. And
- 26:41Speaker 3: I think you heard him being able to be the
- 26:43Speaker 3: one that spouted off about Burden after the game, that
- 26:47Speaker 3: he was one of the guys that said, fellas, we'll
- 26:49Speaker 3: be able to chirp after. Tucker Kraft said, we'll let
- 26:51Speaker 3: our pads do the talking. And they did want, though,
- 26:54Speaker 3: and you do need somebody to be able to vocalize.
- 26:56Speaker 3: And I was glad Zaire Franklin decided, hey, man, I'll
- 27:00Speaker 3: be your guy.
- 27:01Speaker 8: From our seats, we could see pockets of people wearing orange.
- 27:04Speaker 8: It was like in different, like about 10 sections over, orange.
- 27:07Speaker 1: Orange, orange.
- 27:08Speaker 3: Little smatterings, yep, you're right.
- 27:09Speaker 8: But we saw a lot of Illinois plates on the
- 27:10Speaker 8: way up, and they were quiet because the Packers were
- 27:13Speaker 8: up 14 to nothing, right?
- 27:14Speaker 3: So they were on their hands and didn't have much
- 27:16Speaker 3: to cheer about throughout the day.
- 27:18Speaker 7: The TV copy had a good shot of an old
- 27:19Speaker 7: boy with his head in his hands just looking at us.
- 27:21Speaker 3: It was a great shot.
- 27:23Speaker 7: That reminds me of the Tennessee guy from the 55-0
- 27:25Speaker 7: game years and years ago.
- 27:26Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I saw a number of pictures of guys–
- 27:30Speaker 3: at tailgates dressed as Ditka, as you often see. All
- 27:33Speaker 3: for sure, yes.
- 27:33Speaker 8: It was a tribute, so the guys were dressed as Ditka.
- 27:36Speaker 8: And I'm with you, Billy. I thought it would be
- 27:39Speaker 8: a lot more. And then I guess maybe it's the
- 27:41Speaker 8: events of the game that there was no.
- 27:43Speaker 3: Could have been.
- 27:44Speaker 8: And now, Armin, to use one of your favorite words,
- 27:47Speaker 8: was Bears Nation guilty of hubris in that, oh, we
- 27:52Speaker 8: can beat these. We beat them the last couple of times.
- 27:53Speaker 8: We can beat them. We play great with our backup quarterback.
- 27:56Speaker 8: I saw Danny Parkins and one of the Fox Sports
- 27:59Speaker 8: panelist guys Saying that, you know, I expect him to
- 28:04Speaker 8: outplay Jordan. He's got the better coach. He's got a dunce.
- 28:07Speaker 8: He's got Loveland. He's got a running game. He's got
- 28:09Speaker 8: a better offensive line.
- 28:10Speaker 3: He's got, you know. Yeah, where that would meet. Because
- 28:15Speaker 3: you might have Roma Dunze, congratulations. We actually have a
- 28:18Speaker 3: guy that actually hit in the first round and is
- 28:20Speaker 3: turning out to be one of the better wide receivers
- 28:22Speaker 3: in the league right now in Matthew Gold.
- 28:23Speaker 8: And your take on them being a top tandem is
- 28:26Speaker 8: not far off either because the numbers they're putting up.
- 28:29Speaker 8: I was wondering, even though they have a dedicated group
- 28:32Speaker 8: now instead of this by-committee thing they've been doing about
- 28:34Speaker 8: Pascal Beers, okay, so who's their 1,000-yard guy? Is it
- 28:37Speaker 8: going to be Kraft?
- 28:38Speaker 3: Is it going to be? Watson, well, it looks like
- 28:40Speaker 3: it's going to be Watson, Golden, and maybe Kraft, too.
- 28:42Speaker 3: I was going to say. It might be all three
- 28:43Speaker 3: of them. It looks like they're very much, Drew, going
- 28:45Speaker 3: to be in the running to have 2,000-yard receivers. And
- 28:48Speaker 3: to start the year, I don't know anybody in their
- 28:50Speaker 3: wildest dreams plan that they would, especially with how bad
- 28:53Speaker 3: the offensive line was through three games. This is now
- 28:57Speaker 3: even more. There was Jordan Love's first year, 2023, correct?
- 29:01Speaker 3: I just want to make sure I have the timing right. 2023,
- 29:03Speaker 3: they played. They played Dallas on a Sunday three 25 kick.
- 29:11Speaker 3: It is the McCarthy Rogers reunion. Remember McCarthy comes out
- 29:16Speaker 3: in the peacoat walks out, has the big Lombardi feel
- 29:19Speaker 3: and him and Rogers at the nice moment in the,
- 29:22Speaker 3: in the broom closet, they talked about the Packers went
- 29:25Speaker 3: out through for four touchdowns and roundhouse the Cowboys. They
- 29:28Speaker 3: had just broken their losing streak, which had lasted 42 days,
- 29:33Speaker 3: a couple of days prior to, or had lasted about
- 29:36Speaker 3: three or four weeks prior to that. And then they
- 29:39Speaker 3: got Tennessee on a Thursday night and it's like, okay,
- 29:42Speaker 3: now you got to, Stamp your rival. Now you got
- 29:45Speaker 3: to validate exactly what you did. Just like Wisconsin against
- 29:48Speaker 3: Michigan state a couple of weeks ago. Now you got
- 29:50Speaker 3: to validate that win and make sure it's for real
- 29:53Speaker 3: because they're going to get drew a lot of talk
- 29:56Speaker 3: this week. They're going to be a lot of T
- 29:58Speaker 3: a lot of people at the national desk saying it.
- 30:01Speaker 3: They might have just weathered the storm. They might be
- 30:03Speaker 3: on the other side of this thing. They might be
- 30:07Speaker 3: a sneaky team to be able to go on a
- 30:08Speaker 3: run late into the year. Look at all these great
- 30:10Speaker 3: numbers that they have underlying in the past game. Now
- 30:13Speaker 3: you've got to be able to validate it and beat
- 30:15Speaker 3: a wounded animal that's coming in here a little bit
- 30:17Speaker 3: more rested and very embarrassed. Dallas is after the way
- 30:21Speaker 3: they got it taken to on Thursday night. And that's
- 30:24Speaker 3: the thing. You feel great after this game, and that's fine,
- 30:26Speaker 3: and that's wonderful.
- 30:27Speaker 7: But you also played one out of five games really well.
- 30:31Speaker 3: So can you do it again?
- 30:32Speaker 7: You have to make it who you are, a trend,
- 30:35Speaker 7: not just an outlier.
- 30:36Speaker 3: That's the question. Can they do it?
- 30:38Speaker 7: You like to think so, but if they want to
- 30:40Speaker 7: turn this thing around, yes, it's the next step of
- 30:42Speaker 7: doing it again.
- 30:43Speaker 3: Welcome to the afternoon boys. This is on the talking
- 30:45Speaker 3: text line. Not having to listen to a dank bears
- 30:47Speaker 3: and Cubs fan on Madison airwaves, a welcome change. Well, listen,
- 30:51Speaker 3: we are glad that everybody is able to find us
- 30:53Speaker 3: throughout the afternoon. There's a lot of rides home that
- 30:56Speaker 3: are going to be made a lot better now. I'm
- 31:00Speaker 3: not going to toot our own horn here, Drew, but
- 31:02Speaker 3: I'll Timmy Trumpets and blow this thing and let everybody understand.
- 31:07Speaker 3: Your afternoons are going to be a lot more fun
- 31:08Speaker 3: driving home at this point. No question. These four hours
- 31:12Speaker 3: where you're going to be able to consume us and
- 31:14Speaker 3: some local content, get used to it. Even though our
- 31:17Speaker 3: boy Tommy and Stalis did have a little bit of
- 31:20Speaker 3: a disappointment. He said, guys, I was on time for
- 31:21Speaker 3: work yesterday and today.
- 31:23Speaker 2: Oh no.
- 31:23Speaker 3: I blame that a hundred percent on you guys not
- 31:26Speaker 3: being there to distract him. Well, we're, we're sorry. Productivity
- 31:30Speaker 3: is going to go up in the morning, but into
- 31:32Speaker 3: the afternoon, just make sure you punch that clock out
- 31:34Speaker 3: at two. So you can be here. I do. Yeah.
- 31:36Speaker 7: I do wish we could help you there. I'm happy
- 31:38Speaker 7: to be helping everybody in the afternoon here, but, uh,
- 31:41Speaker 7: It is a pretty good thing. YouTube, no noob guy.
- 31:45Speaker 7: I think noob guy, is that right? Ooh, I like
- 31:47Speaker 7: this new show time.
- 31:47Speaker 3: Oh, thanks. We do too.
- 31:49Speaker 7: Good afternoon, guys. This has been the best October by
- 31:53Speaker 7: far I've ever had. And not because of the Packers.
- 31:55Speaker 7: Go Brewers and go Badgers. All right, well, the Packers
- 31:58Speaker 7: can be part of that if they keep playing well,
- 32:00Speaker 7: but I like to hear that as well.
- 32:01Speaker 3: Yeah, the Badgers. seem to be turning things around. I mean,
- 32:04Speaker 3: that's a good sign. Uh, currently on, uh, uh, since
- 32:08Speaker 3: we can't see them at the Potawatomi sports book currently
- 32:11Speaker 3: on the, uh, Polly market trading site, Badgers, uh, 20%
- 32:16Speaker 3: chance to make the college football playoff. Hey, that's pretty good.
- 32:18Speaker 3: They now go, they go to UCLA this week, play
- 32:21Speaker 3: against a backup quarterback, a guy that I think he's
- 32:25Speaker 3: on his third different school, a kid that's going to
- 32:28Speaker 3: start for UCLA. Cause Nico email the AVA out now
- 32:31Speaker 3: for the rest of the season, uh, And you go
- 32:34Speaker 3: mess around and win this game. They're a two and
- 32:36Speaker 3: a half point dog drew only a two and a
- 32:40Speaker 3: half point dog against a team that right now comes
- 32:42Speaker 3: in 12th in the country. Bob Chesney is on Colin
- 32:45Speaker 3: before we came on. People are loving the Bruins go
- 32:49Speaker 3: out to the Rose bowl, get a dub, and it
- 32:51Speaker 3: could be a fascinating change for Luke fickle squad. So
- 32:55Speaker 3: it's a good, good time to be here.
- 32:57Speaker 4: It is. It is.
- 32:58Speaker 8: I just saw my pal Bob Nightingale posted a picture
- 33:01Speaker 8: from the press box at Dodger Stadium.
- 33:03Speaker 3: Come on, Bob.
- 33:04Speaker 8: And Dodger Stadium, it's old, but it's magical. You go
- 33:09Speaker 8: there and it's hard to describe.
- 33:11Speaker 3: So I'm in the rare camp that I want to
- 33:14Speaker 3: go to Dodger Stadium more than Fenway Park. Is that,
- 33:17Speaker 3: I mean, I know they're both, they're both worth going to.
- 33:20Speaker 8: I would say go to both, but yeah, Dodger stadium is,
- 33:22Speaker 8: is pretty cool. Especially he just posted this photo and
- 33:25Speaker 8: he said it's Milwaukee weather here in LA.
- 33:27Speaker 3: 75 and sunny. You brought it with you. You said
- 33:31Speaker 3: last time the Dodgers played here, it was 102. Goodness gracious. Yeah.
- 33:35Speaker 3: Remember it was hot when the Brewers got to San
- 33:37Speaker 3: Diego too. But yeah, you see the palm trees and
- 33:40Speaker 3: you're in the ravine and it's just, you walk up,
- 33:43Speaker 3: the stadium's kind of sunken. The San Gabriel Mountains. It's
- 33:46Speaker 3: pretty cool. How far is that from the road? Pasadena
- 33:49Speaker 3: and that, that would be somewhat in the.
- 33:53Speaker 7: I should ask Arm and Mr. Geography Major of all
- 33:55Speaker 7: these Pasadena areas. Not just that I love maps, but
- 33:58Speaker 7: that's where all the Armenians live. But you go north
- 34:00Speaker 7: and west, I think, from Dodger Stadium to go to
- 34:03Speaker 7: Burbank and Pasadena. I think I know that because I
- 34:06Speaker 7: think that's where our boy Hunter is going to stay
- 34:09Speaker 7: out there.
- 34:09Speaker 3: It's 10 miles. Two and a half hours. Two hours
- 34:12Speaker 3: at least. It's 10 miles. Yeah. It's a straight line.
- 34:18Speaker 7: I don't think it's that bad of a distance, but
- 34:21Speaker 7: the traffic, but I'm pretty sure it's not that far
- 34:24Speaker 7: because I think where Dodger stands in like the Northwest
- 34:27Speaker 7: part of, if I'm not wrong, by Hollywood and LA,
- 34:30Speaker 7: which is where Pasadena Glendale Burbank is.
- 34:32Speaker 3: And you said San Gabriel mountains. That's the only other
- 34:35Speaker 3: time I hear it. So I'm immediately thinking, boom, shot, shot.
- 34:38Speaker 3: It's like Vegas. Oh, I can see it. It's gotta
- 34:41Speaker 3: be right next door. I don't know.
- 34:43Speaker 8: You know, the few times that we get to play
- 34:44Speaker 8: at like country clubs and stuff where everything's like the
- 34:46Speaker 8: grass is perfect.
- 34:48Speaker 3: It's kind of like that. Like you just feel like,
- 34:51Speaker 3: and it's, it's, I don't know. It's, it's, it's kind of,
- 34:53Speaker 3: there's a reason why minutes, 10 mile drive. There's a
- 34:56Speaker 3: reason why that many people live there because it's kind
- 34:59Speaker 3: of awesome. Like it is. I love Joel Klatt was
- 35:02Speaker 3: talking about this when people were roasting the USC fans
- 35:05Speaker 3: and similarly the Dodger fans when it was like a
- 35:07Speaker 3: hundred or something, they weren't at the Sacramento state game,
- 35:10Speaker 3: San Jose state game. It's like, guys, it's LA. If
- 35:14Speaker 3: it's 10 degrees over 80... people shutter in. It reaches 50.
- 35:20Speaker 3: People are getting a north face out. It's got to
- 35:23Speaker 3: be perfect because it's always perfect. Why would we go
- 35:26Speaker 3: out when it's not 75 and sun? We'll just wait
- 35:29Speaker 3: two days and it will be 75 and sunny. Go
- 35:31Speaker 3: and live it up.
- 35:32Speaker 7: The real estate will tell you that too, right? All right,
- 35:34Speaker 7: so you're in Dodger Stadium. You're going northeast of Pasadena.
- 35:36Speaker 7: I got you very excited about this. West of Glendale.
- 35:39Speaker 7: I'm going to get in there for you right there.
- 35:41Speaker 7: Get all this information for you.
- 35:43Speaker 3: I get we're in the afternoon, but you can't get
- 35:44Speaker 3: that Pause. I'm very excited. Getting all up in there.
- 35:47Speaker 3: I'm proud of you. You go to mini kebab there
- 35:50Speaker 3: in Glendale. Get some shish kebab. Wonderful. But here, we're
- 35:55Speaker 3: there to go win a pennant. Yeah. We're there to
- 35:57Speaker 3: go win a pennant.
- 35:58Speaker 7: And enjoy your weather and then come home. And then
- 36:01Speaker 7: party there, then come home. Like Max and Paul Hornig
- 36:03Speaker 7: did before Super Bowl I.
- 36:05Speaker 3: Same thing. That's what I'm talking about.
- 36:07Speaker 2: We're there to party, win this trophy, and.
- 36:08Speaker 3: Then come home. Same deal. That's amazing.
- 36:11Speaker 8: I will say that my time's going to LA. I
- 36:12Speaker 8: love being at the ballpark, but everybody's like, oh, it
- 36:14Speaker 8: must be cool going to LA. It's like, eh, it's
- 36:16Speaker 8: tough to get around.
- 36:17Speaker 3: That's the thing. You're going to go to Santa Monica
- 36:19Speaker 3: or something. In Milwaukee, you can go to different neighborhoods.
- 36:22Speaker 4: Amen.
- 36:22Speaker 3: That's what we're used to. It's like, hey, this is
- 36:24Speaker 3: kind of boring. Let's go somewhere else.
- 36:25Speaker 8: And if you're locked in, like if we're going to
- 36:27Speaker 8: Santa Monica, we're going to Santa Monica.
- 36:28Speaker 3: That's the only place we're going. You're not leaving and
- 36:30Speaker 3: going somewhere else. You're not zipping around from place to place.
- 36:34Speaker 3: I've been there one time, and it was a very
- 36:38Speaker 3: in and out, a quick experience. But I got to
- 36:39Speaker 3: see like seven homeless people, so I felt like I
- 36:41Speaker 3: got the experience. Yeah, a little bit of a flavor
- 36:43Speaker 3: of it. Yeah, absolutely. I got happy for a smoke.
- 36:46Speaker 3: I was 13. We had one.
- 36:49Speaker 8: We mentioned it earlier that Garrett Mitchell's kind of the
- 36:52Speaker 8: who's hot, who's not guy.
- 36:53Speaker 3: Mr. Donovan Jorgensen.
- 36:54Speaker 8: We'll have who's hot, who's not for you coming up.
- 36:57Speaker 8: Also going to name our current electric superhero of the day.
- 37:00Speaker 8: And we've got a return engagement between 419 and 421.
- 37:04Speaker 3: Eddie and Salah said finally an afternoon show with a spark. Absolutely.
- 37:09Speaker 3: We will spark it there. You are in the huddle.
- 37:11Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 37:16Speaker 8: Drew, Billy, and Armin huddled up on a Tuesday in
- 37:19Speaker 8: the good land.
- 37:21Speaker 3: Brewers just knocked Henriquez out of the game. Reliving game
- 37:25Speaker 3: two of the NLCS. It's glorious. I love doing this. Now,
- 37:29Speaker 3: the one time that I did this, Drew, where we
- 37:32Speaker 3: rewatched a playoff game with somebody, it did not go
- 37:34Speaker 3: as well. Rewatched while doing a show one time with
- 37:37Speaker 3: Leroy Butler, the TO game. Yeah, good decision. Yeah, good decision.
- 37:43Speaker 3: Watch it with him during that. I don't think he'd
- 37:45Speaker 3: be happy about that. It was kind of dirty pool.
- 37:49Speaker 3: It was kind of dirty pool. Well, I had to
- 37:50Speaker 3: get his reaction to it. Listen, I like that. I
- 37:53Speaker 3: had to see what he thought of, and he definitely
- 37:55Speaker 3: was still disappointed that a... I don't know. Can we
- 37:58Speaker 3: say his name? A certain safety was not at his
- 38:01Speaker 3: appropriate depth there on the play. Somebody was supposed to
- 38:04Speaker 3: be on the goal line.
- 38:06Speaker 7: But the reality is, and Mike Holmgren said, if you
- 38:08Speaker 7: watch the NFL greatest games, not to get too deep
- 38:11Speaker 7: into this game.
- 38:12Speaker 3: Sorry, I apologize. He said, I believe I called the
- 38:16Speaker 3: right defense. We just didn't play it very well. Just
- 38:19Speaker 3: didn't play it very well. Which is true.
- 38:20Speaker 7: I mean, the window that Steve Young threw. See, there's
- 38:23Speaker 7: some games that are hard to get over, and then
- 38:25Speaker 7: some games I can't.
- 38:27Speaker 3: And that's not one of them. I can't just cause
- 38:29Speaker 3: it was a wild card game on the road. I
- 38:31Speaker 3: don't know if they were going to beat, you know,
- 38:32Speaker 3: the Vikings were dominant that year, although they didn't end
- 38:34Speaker 3: up obviously didn't look very dominant in the championship game, right?
- 38:37Speaker 3: So the Falcons, but the, well, they could have, no, sorry.
- 38:40Speaker 3: I'm thinking of two years later when they get massacred
- 38:44Speaker 3: by New York 41, nothing. But the thing is there
- 38:47Speaker 3: are certain games and you know, you showed your, you know,
- 38:49Speaker 3: you showed young, uh, young Carson that 2014 NCAA championship.
- 38:53Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 38:53Speaker 7: That's just First game I showed him. That's just the rough.
- 38:57Speaker 7: I'm the young child.
- 38:58Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
- 38:59Speaker 2: You got to learn.
- 39:00Speaker 3: This world is not sunshine and rainbow. That's true. You
- 39:03Speaker 3: know what else we watch? Man, that's tough. Game six
- 39:06Speaker 3: of the Eastern conference finals, 2019. Now we're now. Okay. Okay.
- 39:10Speaker 3: Let's go up 12 going into the fourth quarter. Let's
- 39:13Speaker 3: learn it real quick. Another bad one.
- 39:14Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 39:15Speaker 7: Let's learn it real quick. This is not going to
- 39:16Speaker 7: be easy. I just hope you show them the good
- 39:18Speaker 7: and the bad. We want to foster and culture dreams.
- 39:21Speaker 3: We've watched game five of the Cubs series enough. We
- 39:24Speaker 3: watched last night a lot. Now we're going to have
- 39:26Speaker 3: to be able to get one, a couple more wins
- 39:28Speaker 3: and then have some more. Is he excited?
- 39:29Speaker 2: Jake?
- 39:30Speaker 3: Bowers just got a base hit to Paez who kicked
- 39:32Speaker 3: the ball and let the runner advance. The replay is outstanding.
- 39:35Speaker 7: It's so fun to relive this. Bowers Contreras, his favorite
- 39:39Speaker 7: players are kind of stepping up big. Is that exciting
- 39:41Speaker 7: for Carson? Is he like really into it?
- 39:43Speaker 3: Yeah, he's having, he's having a pretty good run. His
- 39:46Speaker 3: guys are having a pretty good run. Yelly was, was
- 39:48Speaker 3: the first favorite. So now having the taped on C of,
- 39:53Speaker 3: of the yellow shirt, he enjoys that very, very much,
- 39:57Speaker 3: but it's just, it's hard not to get swept up
- 40:00Speaker 3: in every little piece of it. I mean, who's not
- 40:02Speaker 3: a David Hamilton fan after yesterday. I don't, I don't
- 40:04Speaker 3: think there were a lot of guys drew. You mentioned
- 40:06Speaker 3: it to rock. He's a total throw in guy. in
- 40:09Speaker 3: that deal. And when Murph talked about him in spring training,
- 40:12Speaker 3: I remember vividly joking about it on the air. I'm like, yeah,
- 40:16Speaker 3: tell me more about how the guy with a 500
- 40:17Speaker 3: OPS is going to be a, a difference maker on
- 40:20Speaker 3: this team. That's right. I'm excited to see it.
- 40:22Speaker 8: And Matt Arnold's like, we wanted him in the deal.
- 40:25Speaker 8: We like, we wanted him. He was one of the
- 40:27Speaker 8: guys who wanted the protection.
- 40:28Speaker 2: Sure.
- 40:28Speaker 7: And can we say, I mean, yes. I mean, can
- 40:31Speaker 7: we say the, the hater trade is the book closed now?
- 40:34Speaker 3: Or not. I mean, we'll debate that forever.
- 40:35Speaker 8: If you win a World Series and if Contreras is
- 40:39Speaker 8: the MVP of the NLCS, you can make a pretty
- 40:43Speaker 8: good case that that closes the book. In fact, someone
- 40:45Speaker 8: asked Brandon Woodruff about that, about how it decimated the club,
- 40:49Speaker 8: but now you see. And even Adonazio said it in
- 40:52Speaker 8: the Nightingale piece. It's like our fans started to realize that,
- 40:55Speaker 8: you know, kind of know what we're doing and we're,
- 40:57Speaker 8: you know, there was some trust there because that ended
- 41:00Speaker 8: up The.
- 41:01Speaker 3: Pain of that, that's the one year they've missed the playoffs.
- 41:03Speaker 3: The one year they missed the playoffs. And it is ironic.
- 41:06Speaker 3: And it was devastating, but it set them up. It
- 41:08Speaker 3: set them up. for what they've been doing since.
- 41:12Speaker 7: It is ironic, too, because you also thought at the
- 41:14Speaker 7: time maybe you already got the best years of Hayter. Now,
- 41:17Speaker 7: he did get paid afterwards, so you would have to
- 41:18Speaker 7: pay more.
- 41:19Speaker 3: Oh, you never would have paid him for that.
- 41:20Speaker 7: You wouldn't, but in his 30s, he's had the best
- 41:23Speaker 7: two years of his career probably the last two years.
- 41:25Speaker 7: As dominant as he was early on, his last two
- 41:27Speaker 7: years have been really awesome.
- 41:29Speaker 3: He's been really, really good. The resonance in the locker
- 41:33Speaker 3: room was a tough thing to go. I love, and
- 41:35Speaker 3: I know he's told the story before, but I loved
- 41:37Speaker 3: in that Nightingale piece, Drew, that you referenced where he
- 41:40Speaker 3: talks about bud calling him. He's like, Mark, you got
- 41:43Speaker 3: to walk me through this one. You got to explain
- 41:45Speaker 3: this one to me. When they trade Caleb Durbin, you
- 41:47Speaker 3: can tell just one, how much both of those guys
- 41:50Speaker 3: still love that team and love that team. But also like,
- 41:54Speaker 3: it's not easy for anybody, even guys that are around
- 41:58Speaker 3: it and hear these dudes discuss it time and time again.
- 42:01Speaker 3: But when Matt Arnold says, I mean, just trust us,
- 42:03Speaker 3: trust us. They've now got the, uh, in Arnold, we
- 42:06Speaker 3: trust in the ivory tower. We trust explicitly. Whoever you
- 42:10Speaker 3: end up telling us is going to be great. I'll
- 42:12Speaker 3: believe it. Tell me Jonathan scope is going to be
- 42:13Speaker 3: great again. If the Brewers win six more games in
- 42:17Speaker 3: the next, uh, you know, 10 days or so 500
- 42:19Speaker 3: in the next 12, if they do, if they win, uh,
- 42:26Speaker 3: anybody going to bring up receipts?
- 42:27Speaker 8: Anybody going to like pen an apology to, for, for
- 42:31Speaker 8: spitting into, they don't care.
- 42:33Speaker 3: All they care about is attendance. They chase mediocrity. They
- 42:36Speaker 3: don't want it. They don't care about winning. They're not,
- 42:38Speaker 3: they eat all that. They're just in it.
- 42:40Speaker 8: And then the whole thing about bites of the apple
- 42:42Speaker 8: that piss people off and the, the, um, And what
- 42:45Speaker 8: am I here for?
- 42:45Speaker 3: To provide a summer of entertainment? Summer of entertainment and passion.
- 42:47Speaker 3: Or win a championship? Or you can do both, as
- 42:49Speaker 3: it turns out.
- 42:50Speaker 1: I agree.
- 42:50Speaker 3: I think that should be a t-shirt they give out.
- 42:52Speaker 3: On the front is the tweet of the summer of
- 42:55Speaker 3: entertainment and passion. And right on the back is the
- 42:59Speaker 3: hungry caterpillar with the worm just coming right up out
- 43:02Speaker 3: of the apple. We took enough bites. Like it. That's
