Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, we're going to take your hot takes
2:23
Speaker 4: at eight seven seven seven nine because it's compte. But
2:27
Speaker 4: first things first, we have to listen to Hunter Bombgret's
2:29
Speaker 4: recap of the proceedings last evening at the ballpark as
2:32
Speaker 4: the Brewers handed the Higantes of San Francisco another l
2:38
Speaker 4: Brewers winning behind Kyle Harrison, who had twelve punch outs.
2:41
Speaker 3: Let's uh.
2:42
Speaker 4: Hunter's recap brought to us UH byre our friends at
2:45
Speaker 4: Import Minded take it away, Hunter Bombguart.
2:48
Speaker 1: Thanks guys.
2:49
Speaker 8: Another Brewers win an eight three victory over the San
2:51
Speaker 8: Francisco Giants last night, and Kyle Harrison stole the show
2:54
Speaker 8: again five plus innings. One run alout was Willie Donnis
2:58
Speaker 8: home run, but otherwise he was down and in twelve
3:00
Speaker 8: strikeouts that ties his career high, his third ten plus
3:04
Speaker 8: strikeout game in twenty twenty six, and a timely message
3:08
Speaker 8: from Pat Murphy after the first inning might have put
3:11
Speaker 8: him really on track. After that first inning, Brews manager
3:13
Speaker 8: Pat Murphy, realizing that Harrison seemed a little amped up
3:17
Speaker 8: because he was facing his former team, the San Francisco Giants,
3:20
Speaker 8: and he pulled them aside take a listen.
3:22
Speaker 2: Yeah.
3:22
Speaker 6: I mean I think that always brings out emotion, and
3:25
Speaker 6: I think it can be very dangerous and it it
3:28
Speaker 6: doesn't always help, you know what I mean. And I
3:30
Speaker 6: thought it took him up off kilter a little bit.
3:34
Speaker 6: I talked to him after the first inning and hey man,
3:37
Speaker 6: this is about the Brewers, you know, this isn't about
3:40
Speaker 6: you and where he used to play. They gave you
3:42
Speaker 6: an opportunity, you know what, like, and he didn't. He
3:45
Speaker 6: looked at me like I got it, you know. So
3:48
Speaker 6: I was creating something in my mind probably that he
3:51
Speaker 6: probably wasn't there, but I felt like he was a
3:53
Speaker 6: little amped up. It was awfully good, you know, awfully good.
3:57
Speaker 1: And here's Kyle Harrison's side of it.
3:59
Speaker 5: You know, you walked five and I was just like,
4:01
Speaker 5: you know, yeah, working a little too hard right now
4:03
Speaker 5: and easy, that's homely, you know, it's work. It's about
4:06
Speaker 5: these guys you know, behind us, and you know that
4:08
Speaker 5: really just set in with me, and it's like, you know,
4:10
Speaker 5: I don't know how to do anything more. I just
4:12
Speaker 5: got to go out and be myself and got a
4:14
Speaker 5: great defense behind me.
4:15
Speaker 3: So let's season.
4:16
Speaker 8: So a great timely message there for Murph and the Brewers.
4:18
Speaker 8: I mean, what can you say, they're just simply red
4:21
Speaker 8: hot right. Jake Bauer is a three run home run.
4:23
Speaker 8: They scored four runs with two ounces in the eighth
4:25
Speaker 8: inning to put it away. McGill finished it out in
4:28
Speaker 8: the ninth inning. Brewers are nineteen to five in their
4:30
Speaker 8: last twenty four games. They're seven and one in their
4:31
Speaker 8: last eight, and they're thirty seven and twenty one on
4:33
Speaker 8: the season, sixteen games over five hundred for the first
4:36
Speaker 8: time in twenty twenty six. Brewers back in action tonight,
4:40
Speaker 8: game three of this four game series against San Francisco.
4:42
Speaker 3: We don't know the starter yet.
4:43
Speaker 8: Pat Murphy hinted that it might be a transaction coming
4:46
Speaker 8: and that's why they're holding off on naming the starter.
4:48
Speaker 8: So we'll keep you posted on the Baseball pregame show
4:51
Speaker 8: at five point thirty this evening here on Fox Sports
4:53
Speaker 8: nine to twenty in Milwaukee, and our social channel. So
4:55
Speaker 8: Support brought to you by import Minded, your trusted choice
4:57
Speaker 8: for exceptional vehicle care on Sound twenty seven North of
5:00
Speaker 8: eight ninety four.
5:01
Speaker 4: Back to you guys, Thank you Hunter Bombguard, Boots on
5:04
Speaker 4: the ground, thank you, import minded as well.
5:07
Speaker 3: Transaction.
5:08
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, we liked that one and definitely uh keeping
5:11
Speaker 9: an eye towards maybe uh Robert Gasser another one from
5:14
Speaker 9: Triple A coming drew you hear that and uh you
5:17
Speaker 9: you were in clubhouses in a time where the personal
5:21
Speaker 9: relationship I think with managers and the players was always
5:23
Speaker 9: even higher. A guy that played with with gar that
5:26
Speaker 9: understood what all these guys are going through. Murph didn't
5:29
Speaker 9: play at this level. But for him to be able
5:31
Speaker 9: to see understand and then give a quick message, don't
5:35
Speaker 9: be labor it, just drop something quick, that's uh that
5:38
Speaker 9: that's heady stuff in something that not all managers or
5:41
Speaker 9: head coaches I think are equipped to be able to do.
5:43
Speaker 4: No, they probably let them. Let the guys suffer. Yeah,
5:46
Speaker 4: let them slog through it. And I'm not gonna just
5:47
Speaker 4: touch it on, bring it. And it's funny that murpho oh,
5:50
Speaker 4: maybe I was putting more into it there than he was,
5:52
Speaker 4: and then yeah he was.
5:53
Speaker 3: It's I love that. I love that he you know,
5:56
Speaker 3: he's just so good with the young guys.
5:58
Speaker 7: Though maybe to have an idea, you know that this
6:00
Speaker 7: might be what's going on in Kyle's head. You know,
6:03
Speaker 7: it's like he has his pulse on the guys right
6:05
Speaker 7: away where he can think what they're thinking. And and
6:08
Speaker 7: if if that's actually true, and you you're walking in
6:11
Speaker 7: and you're thinking about that a little bit, and then
6:13
Speaker 7: Murph articulates it. You like, boy, this guy, this guy
6:16
Speaker 7: knows exactly what I'm thinking.
6:17
Speaker 3: And it may, it may. He knows what's best for me,
6:19
Speaker 3: he knows what's going on with me.
6:20
Speaker 7: He's just so good working with young guys in that
6:23
Speaker 7: sense that he has an idea of what might motivate them,
6:25
Speaker 7: what might make them take a little bit, and and
6:28
Speaker 7: you can see the guys responding kind and it's pretty impressive.
6:32
Speaker 7: Like seeing a hat that sweaty. By the way, Kyle
6:34
Speaker 7: Harrison's got salt stains oliver his hat.
6:36
Speaker 3: That means he's working. I love that that is true.
6:39
Speaker 3: That means he's working.
6:41
Speaker 9: Art Mitchell stumping some water on him. But yeah, one
6:43
Speaker 9: of those jersey's dirty. He's working hard, getting in there
6:46
Speaker 9: and getting dirt happen.
6:48
Speaker 4: So we don't usually play this game with baseball because
6:52
Speaker 4: on any given day, right you can lose, miss can
6:55
Speaker 4: lose schemes can get lit up. You know, things can
6:58
Speaker 4: go sideways. I think baseball is the hardest sport that
7:00
Speaker 4: we follow to bet.
7:02
Speaker 3: That's that could be fair.
7:03
Speaker 9: Yes, there can be the best value, but it is
7:05
Speaker 9: one of the toughest ones to think that you got
7:07
Speaker 9: any kind of a beatout, no doubt.
7:08
Speaker 4: But the Brewers have outscored the Giants in the first
7:10
Speaker 4: two games of this series by twenty four to five.
7:13
Speaker 4: The Giants aren't good now. Their chances Tonight they got
7:16
Speaker 4: Logan Web their best one of their best guys going right,
7:18
Speaker 4: so that's the chance. It's also the theme night for
7:21
Speaker 4: the Backyard Baseball, so Pablo Sanchez will be walking around again.
7:25
Speaker 3: Very much in the Brewers face. But we don't usually
7:27
Speaker 3: play this game.
7:28
Speaker 4: But the Brewers next eight games, they got the two
7:31
Speaker 4: left here on the back half of the series with
7:33
Speaker 4: the Giants tonight and then at matt Nay tomorrow. Then
7:35
Speaker 4: they go to Colorado for the weekend and the Rocky suck,
7:39
Speaker 4: and then they go to Vegas to play in the
7:42
Speaker 4: Triple A Park as a preview, little appetizer for the
7:46
Speaker 4: A's that they're playing some games in Vegas. So these
7:49
Speaker 4: next eight games for the Brewers, it would behoove them
7:52
Speaker 4: to play well. Then they go into an off day
7:54
Speaker 4: a week from tomorrow, and then they play on the
7:57
Speaker 4: back end of this month the Phillies, the Guardians, the Braves,
8:01
Speaker 4: the Reds, and the Cubs. So the back half of
8:04
Speaker 4: this month the schedule titans a little bit big time,
8:06
Speaker 4: does yes, So these next eight games, you know, you
8:10
Speaker 4: don't want to take anything for granted, and nothing's in
8:12
Speaker 4: the bank, nothing's guaranteed, but you know, a five and
8:15
Speaker 4: three record in these next eight games sets you up
8:17
Speaker 4: pretty well for what's to come.
8:19
Speaker 3: If you have a stretch where you're playing at five
8:21
Speaker 3: hundred for fifteen games.
8:23
Speaker 9: Yeah, especially where the again where the starting rotation is
8:27
Speaker 9: drew right like, it is a very nice time to
8:30
Speaker 9: hit this portion of the schedule where you might have
8:32
Speaker 9: to call on a guesser again who hasn't been great
8:35
Speaker 9: at the major leagues yet Coleman Crow has been more
8:38
Speaker 9: than serviceable.
8:39
Speaker 3: But to be able to do some work on these teams,
8:43
Speaker 3: you have to.
8:44
Speaker 9: I'm excited to see what Miserowski looks like in Colorado
8:47
Speaker 9: and how that potentially messes around with him in the
8:50
Speaker 9: A's are a feisty club and they can get on
8:53
Speaker 9: you offensively. But again those are two games or three games.
8:55
Speaker 9: You would assume that you're winning more and more.
8:57
Speaker 4: Series here, you would hope, let me just say, clip
9:00
Speaker 4: off and win these series is the big thing tonight.
9:03
Speaker 4: You know, it's hard to win a four gamer. But
9:05
Speaker 4: if they can win tonight or tomorrow, they'll they'll take
9:07
Speaker 4: that one. And then you know, again, it looks like
9:10
Speaker 4: a soft spot on the schedule, and you can't take
9:13
Speaker 4: it for granted, but it should be a soft spot
9:15
Speaker 4: on and they should.
9:17
Speaker 3: They should win series against the Rockies and the A's
9:19
Speaker 3: even on the road.
9:19
Speaker 9: They should, and the the other the the hot take
9:22
Speaker 9: out of this one is when I see this and
9:24
Speaker 9: think about it, and as I just mentioned, how on
9:26
Speaker 9: earth are we not going to Vegas for these A's games.
9:29
Speaker 9: We'll wait till they put up the nice new stadium
9:31
Speaker 9: and we'll go to that one by the Flamingo or
9:34
Speaker 9: the old Tropicana spot. But this might be one of
9:38
Speaker 9: the sweetest six game road trips that you could possibly
9:41
Speaker 9: go on if you were just gonna say, I'm gonna
9:43
Speaker 9: take a week of vacation and go and follow where
9:46
Speaker 9: the Brewers are gonna go to the mile get High
9:48
Speaker 9: City and then into Sin City. That might be the
9:51
Speaker 9: best back to back that you could be having. Sorry,
9:54
Speaker 9: Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, I apologize to Cincinnati.
9:58
Speaker 7: Saint Louis. That's gonna be the best pairing of cities.
10:01
Speaker 7: I think that's No, that's not a hot take, Billy,
10:03
Speaker 7: that's a correct take. I would say it's an accurate take.
10:06
Speaker 7: And I would say it's probably not only a great
10:08
Speaker 7: hot take, but it's probably good for your waking bank
10:10
Speaker 7: of the day as well.
10:11
Speaker 3: Denver and Vegas, I mean, oh yeah, both places.
10:13
Speaker 9: Yeah, both places allowed, both places, maybe not even just allowed,
10:17
Speaker 9: maybe just encourage. And you say, Drew, and you're right,
10:20
Speaker 9: you spot on. Jake Misowski could lose any game.
10:24
Speaker 3: Anything can happen.
10:25
Speaker 9: I keep looking at every single time Miserowski and Harrison's
10:30
Speaker 9: just a win and check it off the box because
10:33
Speaker 9: I don't know how especially maybe the maybe the altitude. Again,
10:37
Speaker 9: that's why I'm interested to see miz in Colorado. The
10:40
Speaker 9: contact that otherwise is rather soft and mundane.
10:44
Speaker 7: Uh.
10:44
Speaker 9: The only hits that people have been getting off Misowski
10:48
Speaker 9: is when they can somehow allow the velocity on the
10:51
Speaker 9: pitch to do the work pop that thing up into
10:53
Speaker 9: the air and you don't know how far it's gonna
10:54
Speaker 9: exactly that.
10:55
Speaker 7: You used its natural momentum, as they would tell us
10:57
Speaker 7: in Lily. But the thing is, you know, yeah, a
11:00
Speaker 7: team could get to the bullpen, they could do those things.
11:03
Speaker 7: He's not gonna win every start the rest of his career,
11:05
Speaker 7: but it does sure feel like those are dubs you
11:07
Speaker 7: put it on. We do have a couple of hot
11:09
Speaker 7: takes on the YouTube comments. They're hot and heavy earlier
11:12
Speaker 7: on the morning. Let's go if you want to get
11:14
Speaker 7: a couple of them, fresh off the griddle. Let's start, Yeah,
11:17
Speaker 7: fresh off the griddle. Let's start with the Wisconsin sports
11:19
Speaker 7: fanetic on the YouTube comments. Jesus made is the next Robin?
11:23
Speaker 1: You call him up now?
11:24
Speaker 7: He's got a better bed than Ortiz. I don't think
11:26
Speaker 7: that's a hot take. Hamilton to third for now, Thoughts Fellas,
11:30
Speaker 7: is it too early to call up Moday? Well, we
11:32
Speaker 7: talked about Cooper Prattle a lot, guys, and Moday is
11:34
Speaker 7: his question?
11:35
Speaker 9: Well, yeah, Drew, it might be Andrew Fisher to play
11:38
Speaker 9: third base the Holy College. Well, the other guy he
11:42
Speaker 9: did also, and the Fisher one's fascinating because he saw
11:44
Speaker 9: some of the big league pitching in the WBC, albeit
11:48
Speaker 9: maybe not the highest of high level big league pitching,
11:51
Speaker 9: but some pretty dang good pitching that he was facing there,
11:53
Speaker 9: And that might be another question drew of how close
11:57
Speaker 9: and how much better college baseball has gotten, how much
12:00
Speaker 9: easier the transition can be? Uh for Fisher right because
12:03
Speaker 9: he dominated the sec best league in college, maybe that
12:07
Speaker 9: line is a little bit higher than where it was
12:09
Speaker 9: one time my day. I just don't want to rush,
12:12
Speaker 9: but it has got to be difficult to see every
12:15
Speaker 9: single highlight that he puts up there at double A
12:17
Speaker 9: and not be trying to fast track him even more
12:19
Speaker 9: than they already kind of are. You would think they're
12:22
Speaker 9: doing a good job of being able to temper some
12:24
Speaker 9: not expectations or excitement for it, but they're they're showcasing
12:28
Speaker 9: a decent amount of patients because when he's hitting balls
12:31
Speaker 9: through people's dry windshields out there at that poor Biloxi Park,
12:36
Speaker 9: if I got to see one more of him knocking
12:39
Speaker 9: somebody's windshield out again, I would that would be one
12:42
Speaker 9: where I'm walking from target to the game. If Azers
12:45
Speaker 9: MI day is gonna be putting one into the right
12:47
Speaker 9: field bleachers. That's the only spot I can park. I'll
12:49
Speaker 9: find some street parking down the down the road, walk
12:53
Speaker 9: Roger bike, do anything to get your car. They gotta
12:56
Speaker 9: have some casino shuttles, I would think, So get your uh,
12:59
Speaker 9: get your car out of harm's way.
13:01
Speaker 3: All right.
13:02
Speaker 7: Here's another one from Gilbert something hot take. Sorry Gilbert,
13:07
Speaker 7: I couldn't read the rest.
13:08
Speaker 3: MZ hot take.
13:09
Speaker 7: Jake Barers will hit forty homers and have one hundred
13:12
Speaker 7: and twenty RBI. That is a hot take. I mean,
13:16
Speaker 7: forty is a wild number of guys, but he's already
13:18
Speaker 7: got ten.
13:19
Speaker 3: Wow, I mean forty that's a stretch predictions. Again, that's
13:25
Speaker 3: a hot take.
13:25
Speaker 9: But I like that he's I like that he's understanding
13:27
Speaker 9: the assignment. Right, let's get hot and let's get let's
13:30
Speaker 9: get questionable. Could you see thirty for Jake Bauers here
13:34
Speaker 9: towards the back end? Again, twenty bombs in one hundred
13:36
Speaker 9: games is a lot, but he's gonna get You would
13:39
Speaker 9: assume over the next one hundred games, the last hundred
13:42
Speaker 9: here in the in the season, the most at bats
13:45
Speaker 9: he's gotten for a stretch run of the year, because
13:47
Speaker 9: he's earned to the point where it's hard to keep
13:49
Speaker 9: him out of the lineup.
13:50
Speaker 3: That's true, that's true, all right, will it be?
13:54
Speaker 5: Uh?
13:54
Speaker 7: Here's one from Boss Dobbler. I believe I had one.
13:58
Speaker 7: He says that Thomas Panone will get a called up,
14:01
Speaker 7: uh to be to be a starter for the brewers
14:03
Speaker 7: for a start from the sounds. I think that's a
14:06
Speaker 7: hot take because he's a relief pitcher. I think mostly
14:08
Speaker 7: lefty relief pitcher for Triple A. So I don't think
14:10
Speaker 7: that's the guy that's gonna be called up. I mean,
14:12
Speaker 7: you don't call up an opener. I don't think right,
14:14
Speaker 7: maybe you know. I suppose you never know, but uh,
14:18
Speaker 7: that would be a hot take. And Eric from the Prairie,
14:20
Speaker 7: I see armin is letting us not how much money
14:22
Speaker 7: as from crypto mister crypto. Yeah, still ACKed, not the
14:25
Speaker 7: crypto king. Please please tell the world my story.
14:29
Speaker 3: Yet it's not me. I'm hacked, Okay, I'm not dropping stacks, Dan.
14:33
Speaker 9: And west Bend hot take. Armand's X password was pickles
14:35
Speaker 9: one two three. You know, if it was that might
14:38
Speaker 9: have been protected.
14:40
Speaker 3: He probably would have had a better chance. Yeah, you
14:42
Speaker 3: might have.
14:42
Speaker 9: You might have had a better one. I was I
14:43
Speaker 9: went with password with a capital P P. But I
14:46
Speaker 9: guess I was wrong there too.
14:48
Speaker 4: All Right, hot takes regarding what's gonna transpire this evening
14:51
Speaker 4: San Antonio, New York firing up Game one of the
14:53
Speaker 4: NBA Finals. I my hot take is I don't understand
14:58
Speaker 4: why these Spurs are such a clear favorite by the
15:01
Speaker 4: guys in Vegas.
15:02
Speaker 3: What am I missing?
15:04
Speaker 7: Like?
15:04
Speaker 4: I think this is a pick him at best, and
15:06
Speaker 4: I'm leaning Nicks, but the Spurs are a pretty clear
15:10
Speaker 4: favorite to win the series.
15:11
Speaker 3: Billy, what am I missing? And what is Vegas trying
15:13
Speaker 3: to do?
15:14
Speaker 7: To me?
15:14
Speaker 9: The part of what I in judging what you know
15:18
Speaker 9: the market is is always on what people are betting.
15:20
Speaker 9: I wonder if some of it is they don't want
15:22
Speaker 9: to take a ton of San Antonio money because they
15:24
Speaker 9: know people want to bet Wemby. People believe that slaying
15:28
Speaker 9: the Dragon of OKAC just means that that was a
15:31
Speaker 9: decided title. The tough part for me is what kind
15:35
Speaker 9: of OKC team did the Spurs just beat? They beat
15:39
Speaker 9: one without their second and third best shot creators. Yeah, definitely,
15:42
Speaker 9: and with Chet Holmgren playing like he was in a
15:45
Speaker 9: U seventeen tournament like so that's a difficult, difficult series
15:49
Speaker 9: for me to take everything off of SGA was really
15:52
Speaker 9: good in Game seven, but he clearly ran out of
15:55
Speaker 9: gas because they just had more. I think the Knicks
15:58
Speaker 9: are the healthier team, rest and more rested. They're definitely
16:01
Speaker 9: the more rested and they've been the best team in
16:04
Speaker 9: the sport over the last month and a half.
16:06
Speaker 3: So I'm with you. I've I've flipped back and forth.
16:09
Speaker 9: I started out hot on San Antonio, love the value
16:12
Speaker 9: with the Knicks, and right now at the Potawatomie Sports
16:15
Speaker 9: Book they had a big day yesterday.
16:17
Speaker 3: Congratulations sports huge day, Huge day.
16:20
Speaker 9: Congratulations sports Book and the Green Bay Packers for their
16:24
Speaker 9: for their monumental partnership. But NIX plus one sixty drew
16:31
Speaker 9: and and if you really want to have some fun,
16:33
Speaker 9: nix and six at plus five hundred to win at
16:37
Speaker 9: MSG and what could be one of the hottest sports
16:40
Speaker 9: environments we've seen over the last what three or four decades.
16:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you.
16:44
Speaker 9: And and also I've done maybe the stranger thing for
16:48
Speaker 9: me on this is I've done the one eighty where
16:50
Speaker 9: I feel like I want I almost want it for
16:54
Speaker 9: the Knicks fans.
16:55
Speaker 3: I almost kind of want it for the day.
16:59
Speaker 7: But those guys you've met something interesting though, Billy that
17:02
Speaker 7: I think I've tapped into a bit which I didn't
17:04
Speaker 7: think would be you.
17:05
Speaker 3: That's usuen Arthy.
17:06
Speaker 7: You don't want the Spurs and Wemby to get it
17:08
Speaker 7: too quickly right like you've been saying that, like they
17:11
Speaker 7: have to pay a little more penance.
17:12
Speaker 3: It can't be this easy. It's not supposed to be
17:14
Speaker 3: this easy.
17:15
Speaker 9: You're not supposed to go in your first playoffs and
17:17
Speaker 9: just win the whole shooting.
17:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, who do you think you are? Magic Johnson? Thank you,
17:21
Speaker 3: thank you, Drew exactly what do you think this is
17:23
Speaker 3: the showtime Lakers?
17:24
Speaker 7: Now?
17:25
Speaker 3: Larry's easier? I'm Larry because you got anythinking? Magic.
17:28
Speaker 7: Wemby's easy to like, definitely easy guy to like. The
17:31
Speaker 7: Spurs are an easy team to like, and we see
17:32
Speaker 7: a lot of people rallying around them. But I tend
17:34
Speaker 7: to agree, Billy, I don't think the Knicks are distasteful
17:37
Speaker 7: except for that from New York. For some people, this
17:39
Speaker 7: is sort of a scene that people seem.
17:41
Speaker 3: To enjoy too.
17:42
Speaker 4: Maybe a I don't see underdogs. But here's here's a
17:45
Speaker 4: hot take for you. If the Knicks do win. Jalen
17:48
Speaker 4: Brunson becomes the toast of New York and he gets
17:51
Speaker 4: he is gilded for life, and he moves into You
17:54
Speaker 4: can argue whether he deserves it or not, but he
17:56
Speaker 4: moves into the pantheon of New York legends like the
17:59
Speaker 4: Guys on you know, like the former Guys, but even higher.
18:03
Speaker 4: I mean, I think he slides up in almost to
18:05
Speaker 4: Derek Jeter status.
18:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, I Drew.
18:07
Speaker 9: I don't think it's a hot take to say he
18:08
Speaker 9: becomes the most famous and best Nick of all time.
18:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's up there.
18:12
Speaker 4: He'd be in the discussion right away because for this
18:15
Speaker 4: generation to end the drought the way Yiannis did with
18:17
Speaker 4: the Bucks, yes, when their droughts.
18:20
Speaker 7: I mean he's at Patrick's status because Patrick never won,
18:22
Speaker 7: I know. I mean he was a Hall of Famer
18:24
Speaker 7: there obviously, and looks like Jalen could be.
18:26
Speaker 4: He slides into that New York thing because Mark Messier,
18:30
Speaker 4: you know, obviously spent a bulk of his career in Edmonton.
18:32
Speaker 4: But when he went to the Rangers and he carried
18:34
Speaker 4: them to a nineteen ninety four Stanley Cup, ending a
18:36
Speaker 4: drought of fifty four years, they he became a made
18:40
Speaker 4: man and forever in New York, and Brunson's been there
18:43
Speaker 4: and has more roots in his backstory. When history with
18:46
Speaker 4: the Knicks that he becomes the guy, he might be
18:48
Speaker 4: number one, he might move past Clyde Fraser in some of.
18:51
Speaker 3: Those legends, like for a lot of people, he's going
18:53
Speaker 3: to become mister Nick.
18:54
Speaker 9: Yes, and the Clyde one is the best one because
18:58
Speaker 9: obviously they win what two titles?
19:00
Speaker 3: Did they win two when in the seventies And he was.
19:05
Speaker 9: And has been the face of the Knicks right like
19:07
Speaker 9: as the guy sitting next to Breen for so long,
19:11
Speaker 9: he'd be that dude.
19:12
Speaker 3: The other part of Brunson is Drew.
19:15
Speaker 9: There's such a there's a gravitational pull to how they
19:20
Speaker 9: have won and how like enjoyable they are to watch
19:24
Speaker 9: play because you can tell they all actually enjoy being
19:27
Speaker 9: around each other and playing together because they've played together
19:30
Speaker 9: for so long. The at least the Villanova guys of
19:33
Speaker 9: the bridges and heart and do it all for you
19:36
Speaker 9: and anything you possibly can. And I mean it hasn't
19:39
Speaker 9: been like Karl Anthony Towns has been the most beloved
19:41
Speaker 9: figure in his basketball career. He's taken ups and downs,
19:46
Speaker 9: but he's small, he's gretty physical, he's everything that a
19:52
Speaker 9: Knicks fan would love to be able to say. That
19:55
Speaker 9: was just born and bred playing on the streets of
19:58
Speaker 9: Harlem and back doors and that's how we have to play.
20:00
Speaker 9: We got to be able to control the ball, playoff
20:02
Speaker 9: two feet. And then he also had some Philly connections
20:05
Speaker 9: and you swiped him from there. Yeah, I think there's
20:07
Speaker 9: a lot of reasons why he would be the number
20:09
Speaker 9: one dude, and that that list is really short that
20:12
Speaker 9: you just put on there Jeter mess.
20:20
Speaker 3: Years ago.
20:21
Speaker 9: I was gonna say when Drew says that this generations guys,
20:26
Speaker 9: that's a that's a four pack that's gonna be really,
20:28
Speaker 9: really tough to beat.
20:29
Speaker 3: But you're right then that and that one would go
20:33
Speaker 3: to mantle.
20:35
Speaker 9: Nameth, what all those guys like Jackson, that's a that's
20:40
Speaker 9: a pretty pretty impressive list to be able to carve
20:42
Speaker 9: yourself into.
20:43
Speaker 3: And yeah, they win it.
20:44
Speaker 9: He's gonna be, uh, he's gonna be a tough one
20:46
Speaker 9: at the top of that mantle for Knicks fans.
20:48
Speaker 7: I think I think for the point you made about generations,
20:51
Speaker 7: to every generation seemed to have their guy, you know. Yeah,
20:54
Speaker 7: the the Walt Fraser, the Willis Reid guys will be there.
20:57
Speaker 7: But that's also yeah, sixty years ago. They love John
21:00
Speaker 7: Starks and he never won. Starks and Ewing were seventeen
21:04
Speaker 7: in a playoff. Oh, Stark's Game seven in the ninety
21:07
Speaker 7: four was terrible. I mean that was the worst, one
21:09
Speaker 7: of the worst game sevens of all time. James Hard saying,
21:11
Speaker 7: geez got now Ewing is still probably the best Nick
21:15
Speaker 7: of all. I mean maybe because they didn't draft. And
21:17
Speaker 7: that's the only thing he could say about Brunson is
21:18
Speaker 7: he didn't come up with the Knicks. But he basically
21:20
Speaker 7: has been a Nick and he's taken I think, you know,
21:23
Speaker 7: you could argue he's taken less money than he could
21:25
Speaker 7: have gotten to stay with the Knicks to help them
21:27
Speaker 7: get better.
21:28
Speaker 3: So yes, if he wins the title, he's definitely there
21:30
Speaker 3: for this generation.
21:31
Speaker 7: The way Knicks fans have been starved, the way they've
21:33
Speaker 7: been begging for a title, the way they've done, you know,
21:35
Speaker 7: those fans have just been going crazy for it. They're
21:37
Speaker 7: gonna put him in that pantheon, and deservedly so. I
21:40
Speaker 7: think if they can find a way, I think they
21:42
Speaker 7: have a puncher's chance. To your guys point, it seems
21:44
Speaker 7: like nobody else has given him uh family member. Yesterday
21:48
Speaker 7: he goes armor. Are they gonna get swept? I'm like,
21:50
Speaker 7: who the Knicks? The Knicks thing to get swept? No,
21:52
Speaker 7: I don't think they're definitely really, But isn't Carl Town soft?
21:56
Speaker 3: That's what I keep here. Isn't cats saft?
21:59
Speaker 7: So we'll see. But well, I mean doesn't play bully
22:01
Speaker 7: ball either. He's just a specimen.
22:04
Speaker 3: More so, I don't know.
22:05
Speaker 7: I think it's gonna be an extremely interesting series. I
22:08
Speaker 7: can't imagine the Knicks losing in the garden. I just
22:12
Speaker 7: it's hard to see it until I see my own
22:15
Speaker 7: eyes because of how rock is that building will be.
22:17
Speaker 7: But when the Spurs do put that lineup out yes
22:20
Speaker 7: it was a bangedup Boklahoma City team that was a
22:22
Speaker 7: good team they beat. When they put that lineup out
22:24
Speaker 7: there and they can put they can put a guard
22:26
Speaker 7: in jail, the way they put Sga in there, that
22:28
Speaker 7: makes me think, will they do that to Jalen Brunson
22:30
Speaker 7: successfully to bracket that coverage and things like that, Although
22:33
Speaker 7: I think Jalen's a little bit more crafty getting the
22:35
Speaker 7: rim right now than SGA has been in the playoffs.
22:38
Speaker 9: Okay, how about this this for a hot take out
22:40
Speaker 9: of the finals if the Knicks win the title. Nico
22:46
Speaker 9: Harrison's worst move as general manager of the Dallas Mavericks
22:50
Speaker 9: is no longer the Luka Doncicz trade. It's letting Jalen
22:54
Speaker 9: Brunson walk in free agents. I mean, they draft him,
22:57
Speaker 9: they develop him, and then they let them walk after
23:00
Speaker 9: He's a huge part of their playoff success as well,
23:03
Speaker 9: became a star and they said, yeah, we want this guy,
23:06
Speaker 9: and then two years later they shipped him off.
23:08
Speaker 3: I don't know that it feels like it could be,
23:10
Speaker 3: uh could.
23:11
Speaker 9: Be in the case, there are some fun plays that
23:13
Speaker 9: you can have drew at the Pottawamy Sportsbook. Like most
23:15
Speaker 9: points in the series, I know you're stunned to know
23:18
Speaker 9: that Victor wo min Yama would be the number one
23:19
Speaker 9: favorite there. Yeah, but I feel like Brunson at plus
23:22
Speaker 9: one fifteen might be the best bet to have the up.
23:24
Speaker 3: I'm laying that one for sure, and double up Nixon Brunson,
23:27
Speaker 3: Nixon Brunson.
23:28
Speaker 9: Most threes in the series you can roll with assists,
23:31
Speaker 9: so just about anything possible you can think of you
23:33
Speaker 9: can play with at the Pottawa Amy Sports Book.
23:34
Speaker 4: Right, we've reached halftime. Scott Dolphin will pop in next.
23:37
Speaker 4: You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Billian Armon
23:45
Speaker 4: happy to be joined by our buddy Scott Dolphin for
23:47
Speaker 4: our halftime report.
23:48
Speaker 2: Hello Dolph, Hi Drew. Did you enjoy our walk talk
23:51
Speaker 2: that we just went through for the last time.
23:52
Speaker 6: Yeah?
23:53
Speaker 4: You you and Arman chopping it up talking about getting
23:55
Speaker 4: your steps in the walking season, power walking season.
23:58
Speaker 3: It's always walking season, that's true, it is. Yeah, I'd
24:00
Speaker 3: like it to be.
24:01
Speaker 2: But we don't have the treadmill in this building. We
24:03
Speaker 2: used to Oh, don't bring that up. That's a source
24:04
Speaker 2: of for me.
24:05
Speaker 7: Yeah.
24:05
Speaker 3: We used to be able to what shirt on and
24:07
Speaker 3: get outside?
24:08
Speaker 6: Why not?
24:08
Speaker 7: You're right, I mean there's beautiful trails, oak leaf. We
24:11
Speaker 7: got streets all over the place, great streets, the pavement.
24:14
Speaker 3: You know, we used to have an iHeart gym. Did
24:16
Speaker 3: you guys know that we had an iHeart gym? It
24:18
Speaker 3: was that just that. Oh besides that one treadmill printing room.
24:21
Speaker 2: Right, that's the back corner which is somebody's office. Now, yeah,
24:25
Speaker 2: that was a treadmill.
24:26
Speaker 7: There was a there was a stationary fight, and there
24:29
Speaker 7: were freeways.
24:30
Speaker 3: There was a screen on the wall you can watch
24:32
Speaker 3: TV and you you were supposed to sign in to
24:34
Speaker 3: use that stuff. You sign you had to sign in.
24:37
Speaker 3: But then somebody needed an office.
24:39
Speaker 2: So we lost our damn gym and they disassembled the
24:41
Speaker 2: treadmill and it's still like sitting against the wall in
24:44
Speaker 2: one of the scratch that's.
24:45
Speaker 3: My thing, like, don't disassemble. We could have used that thing.
24:48
Speaker 3: So we have a walking pad in the locker room.
24:51
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well we got a lot of We got
24:53
Speaker 3: a lot of room in the in.
24:54
Speaker 9: The locker room. We could easily put that treadmill up
24:57
Speaker 9: there and try to set this thing up.
24:58
Speaker 3: One thing we want for space and office space, right.
25:02
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm just saying we got a lot of room.
25:05
Speaker 7: That it is a walking season. I saw some some
25:09
Speaker 7: cool birds.
25:10
Speaker 6: The other day.
25:11
Speaker 3: You guys are devo taste.
25:12
Speaker 4: But our buddy Dobe Maxwell just recently celebrated his fifteen
25:15
Speaker 4: hundredth day of walking at least ten thousands.
25:18
Speaker 3: He's the king and he never misses a day, unlike
25:21
Speaker 3: people like me that are not about it and do
25:23
Speaker 3: miss down.
25:23
Speaker 4: He gets up voluntarily at our hours and gets it
25:26
Speaker 4: in and he's usually done by six.
25:28
Speaker 7: Doesn't he go to like also like in then of winter,
25:30
Speaker 7: he'll go to like monards and stuff twenty four hour stores.
25:33
Speaker 2: Arm it's a big mall.
25:34
Speaker 6: Guy.
25:35
Speaker 3: I am, I'm missing the well.
25:38
Speaker 7: I'm sad about the demise of malls, although I keep
25:40
Speaker 7: hearing malls are going to start coming back now with the.
25:42
Speaker 3: Gen Zs that want to play.
25:43
Speaker 7: Yeah, sure, yeah, I'll believe when I see it, because
25:46
Speaker 7: every time I walk it's empty.
25:48
Speaker 3: You know though it's just me and the walks better
25:50
Speaker 3: for walking. They really should make it a running track.
25:53
Speaker 3: There is truth to that though.
25:55
Speaker 2: With the gen Zers, they have said loud and clear
25:58
Speaker 2: that they want to get back out to retail shopping
26:00
Speaker 2: in person, and that's why they're big small business people,
26:03
Speaker 2: especially here in Milwauk' Okay.
26:04
Speaker 7: That's good, and I believe that they might think that
26:08
Speaker 7: they want like it's easy to say that and put
26:10
Speaker 7: it on the internet and post it.
26:11
Speaker 3: But are you still ordering on Amazon and door dashing?
26:13
Speaker 3: I am yes, not door Dash for Amazon. I'm saying
26:16
Speaker 3: the gen z S they you are really gonna be
26:18
Speaker 3: actually be about it now. Yeah, let's see.
26:20
Speaker 9: Just ask Bill I'm just asking no, No, I think
26:23
Speaker 9: I think you're I think you're spot on. But I
26:24
Speaker 9: do think there's there's a nice blend that is starting
26:27
Speaker 9: to get starting to get tapped into. Then the other
26:30
Speaker 9: thing is how many people are gonna be working too?
26:32
Speaker 9: But the self checkouts are even easier than ever before
26:35
Speaker 9: that it is easy to go to a TJ Max
26:38
Speaker 9: now and go and check in check out, and I
26:40
Speaker 9: don't even have to worry about my kids screaming and
26:42
Speaker 9: krying of grab every single one of the.
26:43
Speaker 2: Snacks self checkout. I'm a big fan if I've got
26:45
Speaker 2: a few. If I have to run and get something
26:47
Speaker 2: and I don't have to talk to anyone, I could
26:48
Speaker 2: just scan and go. But if I go grocery shop
26:51
Speaker 2: and I do the grocery shopping from my house. If
26:54
Speaker 2: I go and I get a big basket full of
26:56
Speaker 2: produce and stuff, I have anxiety attacks if I have
26:59
Speaker 2: to go through self check out with all that stuff.
27:00
Speaker 4: That's yeah, you gotta find the picture. Yeah where these
27:03
Speaker 4: organic or not? I can't remember. At that point, you
27:05
Speaker 4: don't care. You just don't search.
27:07
Speaker 2: You want to get the hell out of there as
27:08
Speaker 2: fast as possible.
27:10
Speaker 7: It sucks if it depends, and then your honesty is tested.
27:12
Speaker 7: You know, you can put pores, you can put the
27:14
Speaker 7: other plumbs and that, but I don't do that. And
27:17
Speaker 7: to be honest with you, I just searched my name.
27:19
Speaker 7: You know, you can search my picture by name, but
27:20
Speaker 7: I don't know the self checkout.
27:21
Speaker 3: No.
27:22
Speaker 9: See, I just I just struggle with once I put
27:24
Speaker 9: everything into the bags, trying to I accidentally grab one
27:27
Speaker 9: of them before I'm done, and then I sul me along.
27:30
Speaker 9: I know that's the biggest problem.
27:31
Speaker 2: Well, it's it's also like c I a operative stuff
27:34
Speaker 2: there if they if they think you did some quick
27:37
Speaker 2: flight of hand.
27:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I just know I put my damn cheese
27:40
Speaker 4: in the back. Hang on, somebody's coming. Yeah, you're right,
27:43
Speaker 4: I do have six blocks of cheese. Yes, that is true.
27:46
Speaker 3: You are not.
27:48
Speaker 7: Your stomach drops because here comes that kid Franklin High
27:51
Speaker 7: School with that little key that's coming about.
27:53
Speaker 3: You're gonna fix it. Yeah, need to scan for your beer.
27:57
Speaker 7: Huh.
27:57
Speaker 4: Allright, So back to for momentarily, for for the walking conversation,
28:01
Speaker 4: I got to know about the footwear because Billy was
28:03
Speaker 4: asking me about my hookahs. Yes, and Billy was going
28:05
Speaker 4: to join team Hoka important to have good walking shoes.
28:09
Speaker 4: I don't know Armas because he's been fantasizing about buying
28:11
Speaker 4: a pair of Air Monarchs forever.
28:13
Speaker 3: I have probably good walking shoes.
28:16
Speaker 7: Well. I need the wide foot now, as Billy knows,
28:18
Speaker 7: and it's hard to find those in Nike, but I do.
28:20
Speaker 3: I am enjoying Brooks wide foot.
28:23
Speaker 4: This is the long wind up talking footwear because Steph
28:25
Speaker 4: Curry signed a ten year deal for four hundred million
28:28
Speaker 4: dollars wow with the Chinese shoe sports for company Leaning.
28:33
Speaker 4: That's going to be giving a putting out his Curry brand, and.
28:37
Speaker 3: Dwayne was first in that market.
28:38
Speaker 7: If you remember, he signed with Leaning first, and everyone
28:41
Speaker 7: gave him the side of like what are you doing?
28:43
Speaker 3: Forgot about what are you doing?
28:44
Speaker 7: You had nikeing all these companies and you're signed with
28:46
Speaker 7: this Chinese company and I don't know who's laughing now.
28:49
Speaker 7: I mean it's actually worked. He's actually helped them carve
28:52
Speaker 7: out a space mark. Now, if someone gives you four
28:55
Speaker 7: hundred million, I think you make that decision pretty easy,
28:57
Speaker 7: Am I wrong? Not?
28:58
Speaker 9: I don't know that it's that easy because he had
29:00
Speaker 9: a lifetime deal with under Armour. If I'm not mistake.
29:03
Speaker 9: He turned on a bigger offer. And when you're Steph Curry,
29:06
Speaker 9: it's not like you need the money.
29:07
Speaker 2: When it comes to four hundred million dollars, you could
29:09
Speaker 2: certainly make that choice based on other things.
29:11
Speaker 7: Sure like sure, which it sounds like he asked, because
29:13
Speaker 7: it's some sort of he's got.
29:15
Speaker 4: It's in on a build out of a market and
29:18
Speaker 4: more in there. Yeah, he's gonna be it's gonna be
29:21
Speaker 4: a golf line. There's gonna be different products of like apparel.
29:26
Speaker 4: This is setting him up for his second career. Yeah, right,
29:28
Speaker 4: this is setting him up for his post career. Curry
29:31
Speaker 4: brand and the golf line Drew is a very very
29:34
Speaker 4: fascinating one because as long as they're not spending or
29:38
Speaker 4: making you shell out two hundred and thirty dollars for
29:40
Speaker 4: a Sunday red sweatshirt, you're gonna have a chance to
29:42
Speaker 4: be able to carve into that market because people are
29:44
Speaker 4: waiting for something interesting. He was the biggest free agent
29:47
Speaker 4: in the shoe industry, Like because his under armour thing's
29:50
Speaker 4: been up for like seven eight, nine months something like that.
29:53
Speaker 4: But is it got me thinking, like is that even
29:56
Speaker 4: worth it? Is that something that's gonna go away, as
29:57
Speaker 4: like the athlete shoe endorsement, Like, I don't think that.
30:00
Speaker 3: It doesn't seem like it's run its course.
30:02
Speaker 2: I don't think so, because you did. What was it,
30:04
Speaker 2: Caitlyn Clark? Every people couldn't wait to get their hands
30:06
Speaker 2: on that thing. You mentioned China though, Was it Stephan
30:09
Speaker 2: Marbury that had the starbars that a shoe, Well, it
30:14
Speaker 2: was Stephen.
30:14
Speaker 9: Barry, Stephen Barry's shoe, which was one of the greatest
30:17
Speaker 9: things since Slice.
30:18
Speaker 3: A billion that we talked about those days a lot
30:20
Speaker 3: and you had to buy three pairs off.
30:22
Speaker 9: Oh, if you went and played in a basketball game
30:26
Speaker 9: with the Starberrys on, you were gonna Zion Williamson though
30:29
Speaker 9: explode right, They weren't going to pop at some particular
30:33
Speaker 9: point in time.
30:34
Speaker 3: Very very good. So you needed you needed a quick
30:36
Speaker 3: tire change.
30:37
Speaker 7: They were built for casual props, dam and shack that
30:40
Speaker 7: made shoes affordable with a name on it for some
30:43
Speaker 7: kids that couldn't Like Shaq would talk about that, like
30:46
Speaker 7: moms would hate me because my shoes cost too much
30:48
Speaker 7: and You're like, you're putting me through heartache. I can't
30:49
Speaker 7: afford it. And he's like that changed it for me,
30:52
Speaker 7: so they put their name on on brands that were affordable.
30:54
Speaker 3: I was one of those kids.
30:55
Speaker 2: We grew up, you know, I would say lower middle class, maybe.
30:59
Speaker 3: Even siblings right when.
31:01
Speaker 2: We had seven kids in the family and my dad
31:03
Speaker 2: died when he was really young, so mom pretty much
31:05
Speaker 2: raised all of us. And I remember always wanting, uh, Prokads.
31:09
Speaker 2: That's the shoe I wanted as a kids, Prokads?
31:13
Speaker 3: Was it Doctor J?
31:14
Speaker 2: I think early Yeah, yeah, when I was and I
31:16
Speaker 2: always wanted those. And I still remember the song with
31:19
Speaker 2: Doctor J and pro Heads. But I used to get
31:22
Speaker 2: pro zips, which I think was Kmart. I'm not sure,
31:25
Speaker 2: but they were pro zips and that's what I had
31:28
Speaker 2: to wear to school.
31:28
Speaker 3: Yeah.
31:29
Speaker 9: Those and Ones were the same thing for Those were
31:31
Speaker 9: the ones for me. It's like, okay, there's a little
31:34
Speaker 9: tears of this. I'm like, well, listen, we play streep
31:36
Speaker 9: all over here. Sorry, I'm gonna wear the and ones
31:38
Speaker 9: and that Walmart braandles fit just nicely. I struggle to
31:42
Speaker 9: think it goes fully away, Drew, because at some point,
31:45
Speaker 9: you we always do still have very impressionable ten eleven,
31:49
Speaker 9: twelve year olds that want to be like the guys
31:52
Speaker 9: on TV, and there are still more and more that
31:55
Speaker 9: are going harder and harder into the shoe game. If
31:58
Speaker 9: the shoe market continues to or gets back to where
32:01
Speaker 9: like the card market is, then it'll definitely I know that.
32:04
Speaker 4: Like Nike's lost so much market share. Yeah, they're struggling
32:07
Speaker 4: with that, struggling. They used to be the cool. Everything
32:09
Speaker 4: they did was cool, all their ads. Now they're just
32:11
Speaker 4: kind of like, eh, that's well.
32:13
Speaker 7: The big comfort like the comfort footwear brands that were
32:17
Speaker 7: looking dorky for a while have become the market dominators,
32:20
Speaker 7: the Hookahs, the Brooks, all that stuff, The Brooks, all
32:23
Speaker 7: those and and who knows why you used to say, Drew,
32:27
Speaker 7: you can't question the culture. And like sometimes what people like, yeah,
32:31
Speaker 7: and what people like, the river flows what people like.
32:34
Speaker 7: It becomes trendy and that's just the way it goes.
32:36
Speaker 7: So I think to the point about Steph Curry and
32:38
Speaker 7: the under Armour, those shoes were getting made fun of
32:41
Speaker 7: for a while. Do you remember that, like people were
32:42
Speaker 7: saying you look so I think and then if they
32:44
Speaker 7: were if under Armours stopped reinvesting in basketball, which it
32:47
Speaker 7: seems like they have, that's where Steph got frustrated and
32:50
Speaker 7: he's like, I don't want to be with you guys
32:51
Speaker 7: forever because to your about the the athlete show the
32:56
Speaker 7: basketball shoe. I think it's less about the athlete now,
32:58
Speaker 7: the actual player, than.
33:00
Speaker 3: The shoe itself.
33:01
Speaker 7: Is the shoe itself something that kids want to wear,
33:03
Speaker 7: the ones that kids like, the ones that basketball players like.
33:06
Speaker 7: Then it's just not just so you're saying function over fashion.
33:09
Speaker 7: I think I think or or it could still be fashion.
33:11
Speaker 7: But whatever is popular, it's not because it's the Lebron
33:15
Speaker 7: or the I think the Steff or whatever it is.
33:17
Speaker 3: It's this shoe is cool and everybody likes this one.
33:20
Speaker 2: I think it's still fashion. I just saw something yesterday. Yeah,
33:23
Speaker 2: I did I keep that.
33:24
Speaker 3: I kept this.
33:24
Speaker 2: New survey results, almost sixty percent of Americans buy shoes
33:28
Speaker 2: that they later regret because of discomfort, and they mentioned
33:31
Speaker 2: Runners Arman interesting runners. Sixty five percent of runners admit
33:35
Speaker 2: to buying shoes based on their appearance rather than their comforting.
33:39
Speaker 7: I know I bought I bought enough Nikes because I
33:41
Speaker 7: wanted them my day, but they've always run narrow and
33:43
Speaker 7: my feet are whined.
33:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've had to work with that like, until you
33:47
Speaker 3: do a wide frame that makes sense. I do, and
33:49
Speaker 3: I give up.
33:50
Speaker 7: But after a while, just give them say like just
33:52
Speaker 7: get the right ones for your feet, arm and but.
33:54
Speaker 3: A lot of people have done that. This shoe looks cool,
33:57
Speaker 3: doesn't look perfect.
33:57
Speaker 7: I'm going to get the right size or the size
33:59
Speaker 7: that's available, or maybe if it's too narrow, they don't
34:02
Speaker 7: have wide because if you're a wide for guy, there's
34:05
Speaker 7: not all.
34:05
Speaker 3: Kinds of colors of hill Fred flintstone. That's just what
34:08
Speaker 3: guy knows. I complaine about this all the time.
34:10
Speaker 2: You know, as as a walker, I average about seventeen
34:13
Speaker 2: thousand steps a day as a walker, so I'm going
34:14
Speaker 2: through shoes about every three to four months. Sneakers and
34:19
Speaker 2: Adidas affordability and comfort. Man, they got this cloud foam
34:24
Speaker 2: inside the shoes and they've become my go to for
34:27
Speaker 2: comfort and walking. Adidas, especially if you're churning through three
34:30
Speaker 2: four pairs a year. That's just yeah, yeah, that's always
34:33
Speaker 2: tops that. Bourbon and cigars are always tops on my
34:36
Speaker 2: list of Father's Day and Christmas.
34:38
Speaker 9: Now that's genius because I am still in the spot
34:40
Speaker 9: where I find one pair of shoes and I'm gonna
34:42
Speaker 9: wear them sons out until they are absolutely gone, well,
34:45
Speaker 9: you're a dude. Then go another three months, and then
34:48
Speaker 9: I end up buying it once my hip hurts. Like
34:49
Speaker 9: Garment said, you're a dude. That's kind of built we
34:51
Speaker 9: do into our mental But I'm trying to I'm trying
34:55
Speaker 9: to pivot because I did go way off or way overboard. Drue,
34:58
Speaker 9: you joke about the air of monarchs your boy did.
35:01
Speaker 9: Right as we got the little guy back, the first
35:03
Speaker 9: one back from the hospital, I order that pair of
35:05
Speaker 9: New Balance right away.
35:06
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm just going to lean right into it.
35:09
Speaker 3: Didn't love it, didn't love the field.
35:10
Speaker 9: So then I went back to the Nikes because I
35:12
Speaker 9: was like, all right, just in case he's gonna question
35:15
Speaker 9: me at some point, I gotta let him know Dad
35:17
Speaker 9: still got it.
35:18
Speaker 3: So I do still have to be a little bit fashionable.
35:20
Speaker 9: Now everybody's busting out hokahs, so I think that's where
35:23
Speaker 9: function and fashion might be the best kind of I've.
35:26
Speaker 2: Done hocus as well. Now, just for the fact that
35:29
Speaker 2: for the hocas I had, we're probably I don't know,
35:31
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy bucks something like that.
35:33
Speaker 3: So just for affordability.
35:34
Speaker 2: I've gone back to Adida's pretty much full time, but
35:37
Speaker 2: I still have a pair of a couple old pairs
35:39
Speaker 2: of Hokas around that I like to.
35:40
Speaker 3: Well, you know, you can find it, like DSW you
35:42
Speaker 3: can find Brooks and stuff. You can find it.
35:44
Speaker 2: Brooks is well respected in the walking and running game,
35:47
Speaker 2: right like Brooks Brooks Arenaline.
35:50
Speaker 3: Those are good shoes now the Ghosts do.
35:52
Speaker 7: Now.
35:52
Speaker 4: Here's the thing though, if you do find a pair
35:54
Speaker 4: of shoes that you like, and especially if it's just
35:56
Speaker 4: an aesthetic that you like, oh, by multiple pairs? Man,
36:00
Speaker 4: did they always change up the colors point where they
36:02
Speaker 4: discontinue them?
36:05
Speaker 3: Every year they changed the shoe a little bit? Exactly?
36:07
Speaker 3: It might be It might you might be go go
36:09
Speaker 3: from your favorite brand to a brand that you're not
36:11
Speaker 3: comfortable in. Oh, I'm gonna date myself now. In high school,
36:14
Speaker 3: I was all about Pony. Pony. Pony was my brand.
36:18
Speaker 7: Man.
36:18
Speaker 2: I had to have Pony all the time. And then
36:20
Speaker 2: they just went away one day. I like, what am
36:21
Speaker 2: I going to do now?
36:22
Speaker 7: No more Pony, No Walter Payton more than Ruse ruts,
36:27
Speaker 7: good good drag up there.
36:28
Speaker 3: But a lot of NBA players, that pony the NBA.
36:31
Speaker 3: The sneaker game was.
36:32
Speaker 2: Crazy, But I remember I was wrecked. After I left
36:35
Speaker 2: high school baseball. We always wore white like Oakland A's.
36:39
Speaker 2: We wore pumas, white puma cleats. When I got to college,
36:42
Speaker 2: I had to wear black plate black cleats. I felt
36:45
Speaker 2: like such a such a nerd, misfit, such a nerd. Yeah,
36:49
Speaker 2: black cleats?
36:51
Speaker 3: What are we doing here? White? Were they spot built?
36:55
Speaker 3: They were black cleats. They were terrible. They weren't comfortable.

37:57
Speaker 4: and who's not?
37:58
Speaker 7: Well?
37:58
Speaker 3: Listen Kyle Harrison.
37:59
Speaker 9: Once again it goes out for twelve k's career high
38:02
Speaker 9: against his former club, hard to not put him right
38:04
Speaker 9: there into the hot category. And a Bryce Terrain came
38:07
Speaker 9: into the series, the mayor of slum City. Another two
38:10
Speaker 9: hit night, another two RBI night for him and the
38:12
Speaker 9: top of the Brewers lineup. If you went to the
38:14
Speaker 9: Pottawatami sportsbook and just clicked two hits for Yelich, Cheerio
38:18
Speaker 9: and Terrain, good morning for you, because that's going to
38:21
Speaker 9: be a big winner, as all three of those guys
38:24
Speaker 9: have multi hit games last night in an a three
38:26
Speaker 9: Brewers victory. The other one that I mean he has
38:29
Speaker 9: been hot for a while, gives up one run last night.
38:31
Speaker 9: I don't know if that qualifies and takes Aaron Ashby
38:34
Speaker 9: out of the hot category. But I thought Trevor McGill
38:37
Speaker 9: was nails last night, ten strikes, ten pitches, good up,
38:42
Speaker 9: good morning, good afternoon, good night. Get the Giants up
38:45
Speaker 9: out of town doesn't qualify for a save because the
38:47
Speaker 9: Brewers put up four of the biggest Badger Mutual Insurance
38:49
Speaker 9: runs that you could get at American Family Field yesterday
38:53
Speaker 9: in the eighth inning. That one's clearly going to be
38:55
Speaker 9: in the hot category in a big winner for him.
38:57
Speaker 9: The other one would be on then not category. Drew,
39:01
Speaker 9: New York Yankee betters yesterday over ninety percent of the
39:05
Speaker 9: money in eighty eight percent of all bets wagered across
39:08
Speaker 9: sports books yesterday was on the Yankees minus two hundred
39:11
Speaker 9: against the Cleveland Guardians as they hosted the AL Central
39:15
Speaker 9: leading Cleveland Guardians, and while a nine to four decision
39:19
Speaker 9: and a thumping including six unanswered runs after the fifth
39:24
Speaker 9: inning sent the Guardians to the winner circle, sent people
39:27
Speaker 9: home sad as they bet on soon to be Well
39:30
Speaker 9: right now heavy favorite to win the AlSi Young Cam Schlittler,
39:34
Speaker 9: who had his worst game of the year last night,
39:36
Speaker 9: four and a third five runs, four of those earned,
39:39
Speaker 9: the other one that would be in the in the
39:40
Speaker 9: not category, Drew. You mentioned the Vegas Golden Knights last
39:43
Speaker 9: night they win five to four.
39:44
Speaker 7: I was.
39:46
Speaker 9: Listening to the audio stylings of my Man, Dan Duvey,
39:49
Speaker 9: and Gary on the Golden Knights radio call on Fox
39:53
Speaker 9: Sports Las Vegas, so.
39:56
Speaker 3: I missed the ABC audio glitch to start.
40:00
Speaker 9: Apparently they had no Sean McDonough, no announcers for the
40:03
Speaker 9: first forty five seconds of the game. That catches a
40:07
Speaker 9: Carolina Hurricanes goal in the first thirty seconds to now.
40:12
Speaker 9: I don't know if these people were not around in
40:13
Speaker 9: the seventies, right, it was the late seventies when they
40:16
Speaker 9: did the announcer list football game the Dolphins and Jets.
40:19
Speaker 9: I don't know if these people remember those stylings, but
40:21
Speaker 9: it had folks online last night. Arman didn't see it
40:23
Speaker 9: because he's hacked, saying still insane that networks haven't given
40:28
Speaker 9: us an option for every major sport to go broadcaster lists.
40:32
Speaker 9: It can't be that hard, right, People forgot how rough
40:36
Speaker 9: of them here that was. When you don't get a
40:38
Speaker 9: goal in the first thirty seconds. ABC not hot last night,
40:42
Speaker 9: when that's how you're starting championship season rolls in for Disney.
40:46
Speaker 7: Tough situation for a producer. I mean, I feel bad
40:49
Speaker 7: for whoever had these issues that work out. But was
40:52
Speaker 7: that person saying they wanted the more of that?
40:54
Speaker 9: Yes, Yeah, so the people online were beating the drums
40:57
Speaker 9: saying we should have an alternate cast.
40:59
Speaker 2: Now.
41:00
Speaker 9: ESPN is the king of alternate casts king. I mean
41:03
Speaker 9: Monday Night Football, they do seven of them things. Remember
41:06
Speaker 9: that you said the cool Room for championship games.
41:07
Speaker 3: I like that. Yeah, the college football Playoff.
41:09
