3:22
Speaker 2: And uh yeah, when Chuck was sending him to where Galveston,
3:25
Speaker 2: he wasn't even sending him to Mexico.

3:43
Speaker 3: Shack's dined, laughing. It's authentic and people love that.
3:46
Speaker 2: And that was the only thing to look forward to
3:48
Speaker 2: from last night Nicks Hawk's game.
3:50
Speaker 1: Wow, I want to beat down.
3:52
Speaker 6: We talked earlier and again we say this with it
3:54
Speaker 6: and we know it's going to trigger some people, but
3:56
Speaker 6: it was a great sports day in the Twin Cities.
3:59
Speaker 1: It was. It was a good one.
4:01
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is the cheter cap taw tip to hey,
4:04
Speaker 6: enjoy your day. So, as we mentioned, the Wild won
4:07
Speaker 6: a playoff game in Saint Paul at the XL Energy Center.
4:10
Speaker 6: I think that's still what they call it. Fabulous arena.
4:12
Speaker 6: I've heard a nice, amazing yes that I've been in.
4:16
Speaker 6: Then at Target Center, the Wolves.
4:18
Speaker 3: Advanced, Maybe not as amazing of a building, but the
4:22
Speaker 3: hell of a hell of a game.
4:23
Speaker 6: They beat the Nuggets and dispatch the Nuggets who had
4:25
Speaker 6: some championship aspirations and have one of the best players
4:28
Speaker 6: on the planet, so couts them. And they did it
4:29
Speaker 6: while injury depleted, without Anthony Edwards and Dante DiVincenzo.
4:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, and a couple of guys on the Timberwolves team.
4:34
Speaker 3: If I'm not mistaken that the Bucks may or may
4:36
Speaker 3: not have passed on in certain Yeah.
4:38
Speaker 1: For sure, for sure. And then the Twins played at
4:40
Speaker 1: home and also won.
4:41
Speaker 6: Meanwhile, back here among the tyre and Strip club ads,
4:43
Speaker 6: the Twins beat the Blue Jays if.
4:44
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken. Oh, okay, there we go.
4:46
Speaker 6: So legit victory, but a great sports day in the
4:49
Speaker 6: Twin Cities. Conversely, in Atlanta, the people who shelled out
4:54
Speaker 6: hard earned shekels to go watch their beloved Hawks, well,
4:58
Speaker 6: I don't know if they're beloved because of Atlanta is
5:01
Speaker 6: one of the worst sports towns I've ever heard.
5:03
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that's a tough spot.
5:05
Speaker 6: To be in and out right they're into their college football,
5:07
Speaker 6: but there's so many ex pats, there's or there's just
5:10
Speaker 6: so many transplants and so other than SEC football, And
5:14
Speaker 6: if the Falcons are good there, it's a front running city.
5:17
Speaker 1: It's big city.
5:18
Speaker 6: Like there are some there's a lot of like diehard
5:21
Speaker 6: good fans like we have here, but for the most.
5:23
Speaker 1: Part there it's weather vane stuff.
5:25
Speaker 6: Whoever the hot story is will go follow it, and
5:28
Speaker 6: it's like, Okay, there's juice here.
5:29
Speaker 3: And the Braves would be the only professional team that
5:32
Speaker 3: has that kind of hold kind of right, Yeah, Braves are.
5:35
Speaker 6: So regional because of the way that they're not Yeah,
5:38
Speaker 6: and they're also yeah, they're in Cobb County and their
5:40
Speaker 6: way out of it is interesting.
5:41
Speaker 2: I like your take of it because from an how
5:43
Speaker 2: you always hear a lot of times about how it's
5:45
Speaker 2: a hub in Atlanta is this.
5:46
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's a lot of people, so there's a lot
5:49
Speaker 6: of attention, but it's just not directed. It's just not
5:53
Speaker 6: then there's not a light and again it's one of
5:55
Speaker 6: those cities where not a lot of people are from there.
5:58
Speaker 1: Phoenix is kind of like that.
5:59
Speaker 6: There's a probably as many Cubs and very trolls fans
6:02
Speaker 6: as there are Sons and you know, uh Diamondbacks. Now
6:06
Speaker 6: the more you live there and you kind of get
6:08
Speaker 6: soaked into it. I had relatives that move to Arizona
6:11
Speaker 6: and they still love the Brewers, but the Diamondbacks are
6:12
Speaker 6: definitely their second team.
6:13
Speaker 1: Sure, and they watched the Diamondbacks most nights.
6:16
Speaker 6: You watch it every night for sure, and Bruise games
6:17
Speaker 6: are over earlier and they get to watch the West Coast,
6:20
Speaker 6: so you can have that level of dual citizenship. But
6:23
Speaker 6: in Atlanta, now, for those people that went there, that
6:26
Speaker 6: game was over so early, you know it was, it
6:30
Speaker 6: got disgusting by the second quarter. I would have gone
6:32
Speaker 6: to Magic City and got me some lemon pepper barbecue wings.
6:35
Speaker 1: That would have that one hundred percent.
6:37
Speaker 3: You're leaving that game in the middle of the second
6:39
Speaker 3: quarter and you're watching the second half if you want
6:41
Speaker 3: to at Magic City.
6:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, because like the Hawks just didn't show. They didn't
6:46
Speaker 6: show up for the back end of that series. They
6:48
Speaker 6: got boat raced in Game five but then eliminated in
6:51
Speaker 6: that fashion to lose by.
6:53
Speaker 1: Fifty and their home crowd in building. However, can we
6:58
Speaker 1: talk about with the.
6:58
Speaker 6: Bucks and the bulls like a couple of years ago
7:00
Speaker 6: to talk about it, let's talk about that was a
7:03
Speaker 6: similarly uncompetitive. But we had the moment where Yannis shoved
7:06
Speaker 6: Mike Dunlevy into the into the court side scene.
7:09
Speaker 1: Now you have to hustle back numbers again, and that
7:12
Speaker 1: lady was coming count the basket and the fowl. This
7:19
Speaker 1: was a exceptional about yanisk. That's what's about thirty three.
7:24
Speaker 1: They're going to take a look at the play. They
7:27
Speaker 1: will review it, and they counted the basket on.
7:31
Speaker 5: The floor plus the foul, and they'll separate the two
7:35
Speaker 5: teams and they'll take a look.
7:37
Speaker 1: Let's watch Giannis. You can tell this is all purpose.
7:40
Speaker 3: I can't do that frustration from this young team and
7:43
Speaker 3: obviously there is a lot going on on the play before.
7:46
Speaker 7: Okay, so there it is finding moment that I was
7:49
Speaker 7: arguing with somebody, franchise altering moment perhaps that that you
7:54
Speaker 7: know that you know not that Yannis was lacking drive
7:58
Speaker 7: and you know, dedication and stuff, but that was fuel.
8:00
Speaker 1: Well he was a young pup too, so he was
8:03
Speaker 1: that was fuel. That was uh yeah, I was in
8:05
Speaker 1: the building that night. Yeah, it was something else.
8:08
Speaker 2: But even that was a thirty point game at halftime.
8:10
Speaker 2: It was never as bad.
8:11
Speaker 3: Well, they lost my fifty, it was pretty as bad
8:15
Speaker 3: as it, But this.
8:17
Speaker 2: Was worse, much more. It's a sliding scale. This was
8:19
Speaker 2: like a fifty point game at halftime.
8:21
Speaker 6: This, yeah, at halftime that the second quarter, it was
8:23
Speaker 6: off the rails.
8:25
Speaker 2: I'm just making the point, Billy, that last night's game
8:28
Speaker 2: was a lot worse in terms of score and depth
8:31
Speaker 2: than that one was. Even though that was a thirty
8:33
Speaker 2: It was fifty eight to twenty eight when that happened.
8:35
Speaker 2: But one minute to go in the second half. Now, yes,
8:37
Speaker 2: it ended up being a fifty point loss. Terrible game, right,
8:40
Speaker 2: still killed us.
8:41
Speaker 1: The next were up forty one at halftime. I just
8:44
Speaker 1: I love the you immediately.
8:46
Speaker 3: Our our worst loss was not nearly as bad as
8:48
Speaker 3: that one, even though we scored sixty six points, which
8:50
Speaker 3: actually CYM team scored.
8:52
Speaker 2: And in wreck ball, I remember being in the concourse
8:55
Speaker 2: at half time thinking, well, maybe we can find a
8:57
Speaker 2: way to come back if we cut fifteen off this
8:59
Speaker 2: lead in the third quarter and cut fifteen.
9:01
Speaker 1: You know, I was trying to go through it in
9:02
Speaker 1: the Bradley Center, But do you think anybody was doing
9:05
Speaker 1: that in Lana last night. No, I don't think so.
9:07
Speaker 1: I think it was.
9:08
Speaker 3: The thing is, if you were watching it and listening
9:11
Speaker 3: to it, more than anything, you could tell it was
9:13
Speaker 3: a talk about transient fan base. It was a very
9:17
Speaker 3: New York Knicks heavy crowd, and they also had a
9:20
Speaker 3: ton of lower level seats because they were very, very
9:23
Speaker 3: close to Breen. That's got to be a tough game, though,
9:25
Speaker 3: for Mike Breen to call, because you call Knicks games
9:28
Speaker 3: all year long and you're watching them have a historic performance.
9:32
Speaker 3: No team had ever been up by as many at
9:35
Speaker 3: the end of the first half or as many at
9:37
Speaker 3: the end of the third quarter. First quarter was forty
9:39
Speaker 3: to fifteen and they ended on like a thirty four
9:41
Speaker 3: to four run or something like that. So like to
9:44
Speaker 3: hear him have to call the game and somehow be
9:48
Speaker 3: somewhat objective while not giving a couple of fist pumps
9:51
Speaker 3: underneath the underneath the table. I gave big ups to
9:54
Speaker 3: Mike Breen yesterday. That can't be an easy one.
9:57
Speaker 6: The score at halftime was eighty three the thirty six
10:00
Speaker 6: the thirty six and against had eighty.
10:03
Speaker 1: Three points at halftime.
10:05
Speaker 2: The Hawks scored eighty nine in the game, right, that's
10:07
Speaker 2: that was just absurd levels of future.
10:10
Speaker 1: It was.
10:11
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was as bad and as embarrassing, and that
10:14
Speaker 6: is like yeah, but again again, here's here's the arm
10:19
Speaker 6: and here's the Sophie's choice for you, arman, Yeah, would
10:22
Speaker 6: you wouldn't you rather lose one hundred and forty to
10:25
Speaker 6: eighty nine than lose in double overtime on a buzzer beater?
10:29
Speaker 1: Yeah?
10:29
Speaker 2: Not not that bad though. When I'm I'm paying money excited, turn.
10:33
Speaker 6: The page, quicker, it's like, you got your ass kicked.
10:36
Speaker 6: You don't have you had no break, but there's still shock.
10:40
Speaker 6: But it's nowhere near as gut wrenching as losing in
10:44
Speaker 6: double overtime on a off balance three pointer.
10:47
Speaker 1: I committed the gun wrenching part. That's what I'm saying.
10:49
Speaker 2: You want to see your team fight a little bit,
10:51
Speaker 2: you do. I don't know about that.
10:53
Speaker 6: But a loss is a loss, and it's gonna suck.
10:55
Speaker 6: It's gonna suck, But this way less to me than
10:58
Speaker 6: losing like the by an eyel.
11:00
Speaker 1: Well, there's no dopamine hits that whole game.
11:03
Speaker 3: Oh that's fair. You won't be able to laugh at
11:04
Speaker 3: yourself though, like this one. You can actually this one,
11:06
Speaker 3: you can at least laugh, right, this one, you can
11:08
Speaker 3: find some find some solace and some some some laughter
11:11
Speaker 3: in it. The tough part is too, like how do
11:14
Speaker 3: you go into the offseason as a Knicks or as
11:17
Speaker 3: a Nets fan, or wow, as a Hawks fan after
11:20
Speaker 3: the Knicks do that to you and finish your season
11:23
Speaker 3: in your own building in that fashion. Where like the
11:27
Speaker 3: Bucks were at that point when they had that situation,
11:29
Speaker 3: They're a young team, really young. They had a nice season,
11:31
Speaker 3: got themselves into the playoffs. I don't think anybody anticipated
11:34
Speaker 3: that they were going to the playoffs when they made
11:36
Speaker 3: the trades that they ultimately did of shipping off young
11:39
Speaker 3: in company, and then since the All Star break they've
11:41
Speaker 3: had I think one of the best records in the league.
11:43
Speaker 3: So that to me, like this one, you probably can
11:47
Speaker 3: drew turn the page a little bit quicker and still
11:50
Speaker 3: enjoy and know that you had a good season. That
11:52
Speaker 3: one there, You'll always feel like you were closer. Right
11:55
Speaker 3: if they would have took this thing two seven, lost
11:58
Speaker 3: in the garden in a heart breaking fashion, or last
12:01
Speaker 3: night took it to double overtime, they would always believe
12:04
Speaker 3: that they were going to go back to the Garden
12:05
Speaker 3: and win that series, just like I think a lot.
12:07
Speaker 1: That's a fair point.
12:08
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, eighty three thirty six at halftime.
12:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean I understand around for I mean,
12:14
Speaker 3: we paid, but yeah, I like Harmon's take. But the
12:17
Speaker 3: Bucks also got outscored in the Bulls first quarter than
12:21
Speaker 3: they did in the entire first half.
12:22
Speaker 2: Oh, they got dump truck, There's no question they did.
12:24
Speaker 2: Tony Snell was killing us that game. He had every shot.
12:27
Speaker 2: They were hitting shots on us. At least you did
12:29
Speaker 2: have the honest moment that you remember.
12:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
12:32
Speaker 6: In the first half of that game, the Hawks made
12:34
Speaker 6: twelve shots and turned the ball over fourteen times.
12:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, and when the dice in Daniels Mitchell Robinson, uh
12:42
Speaker 3: skirmish happened, like you could see it building for a
12:45
Speaker 3: good two or three minutes, true, yeah, right, Like you
12:48
Speaker 3: you know that too in ball, and we've seen it
12:50
Speaker 3: in the NFL where it's like, hey, they might want
12:53
Speaker 3: to throw a flag because this is gonna this is
12:54
Speaker 3: getting dicey quickly.
12:56
Speaker 1: This is getting this is getting frisky really good. Yeah,
12:58
Speaker 1: it's getting out of hand.
12:59
Speaker 3: And immediately when they go up to the fall line,
13:03
Speaker 3: Tyson Daniels is just chicken wing elbowing Mitchell Robinson in
13:07
Speaker 3: the mouth, and he's just like, all right, you're a
13:10
Speaker 3: full foot shorter than me. I got you by at
13:12
Speaker 3: least forty pounds. I'm gonna sun you real quick. And
13:15
Speaker 3: then you're gonna shut your mouth. And then he didn't
13:17
Speaker 3: shut his mouth, and then it continued to roll, and
13:19
Speaker 3: it was this close to getting really really ugly there
13:23
Speaker 3: in the safe Farm. You know, they were in the
13:26
Speaker 3: lap of some fans there on the court side area.
13:28
Speaker 1: That's true, and maybe I should have end my point.
13:30
Speaker 2: They did show fight in that sense, and I guess
13:32
Speaker 2: you know they you know, they were Richard Jefferson.
13:35
Speaker 1: They're making the comments like, well, there's nothing left to
13:36
Speaker 1: do here but fight. I don't know. I kind of
13:39
Speaker 1: get that.
13:39
Speaker 2: You do get the frustrations obvious and get in a
13:42
Speaker 2: situation like that, So maybe you do, you do see it.
13:45
Speaker 2: I also remember the you know, the Fear of the
13:48
Speaker 2: Deer Bucks year, the twenty ten Jennings, when you go
13:50
Speaker 2: up three two on the road in Atlanta and you
13:53
Speaker 2: come home poised to try and win the first series
13:55
Speaker 2: in a decade, and they got beat bad early in
13:58
Speaker 2: that one too, so that that's another one kind of
14:00
Speaker 2: you kind of chalk up to, Yeah, that's a terrible
14:03
Speaker 2: feeling to walk in there be excited. You have your tickets.
14:06
Speaker 2: You know, it's not even about the money you pay,
14:08
Speaker 2: but that's part of it. But the excitement, the hope
14:11
Speaker 2: you have, and it's just dashed from you right away.
14:13
Speaker 1: That's kind of a rough thing to go through.
14:15
Speaker 2: But then that's why the Knicks are, you know, and
14:18
Speaker 2: you see what happened last night with the Celtics. If
14:21
Speaker 2: they can survive this series, we'll see. Now they're in
14:23
Speaker 2: a game seven dog fight with Philly. But the Knicks
14:26
Speaker 2: are kind of the default favorite for a lot of
14:28
Speaker 2: people to come out of the East, even though they
14:30
Speaker 2: have their problems and they're unfulfilled expectations.
14:33
Speaker 1: I still like Cleveland, and I mean, Cleveland's gotta get the.
14:36
Speaker 6: Count in Boston up, but they're just getting their scare
14:38
Speaker 6: out of the way. They might steamroll the rest of
14:39
Speaker 6: the well.
14:41
Speaker 3: And I mean still nobody's even given a real love
14:44
Speaker 3: to Detroit and they were still the number one seed.
14:46
Speaker 3: They got a lot to be able to figure out.
14:47
Speaker 3: But again, like we we see it, and this is
14:50
Speaker 3: how it happens in every single playoff series. There's not
14:53
Speaker 3: one of these series that injuries aren't aren't a main conversation, right,
14:57
Speaker 3: Like I think the Knicks and Hawks were one of
14:59
Speaker 3: the only ones. But in the Denver Minnesota series that
15:02
Speaker 3: we talked about earlier, huge injury issues on both sides,
15:05
Speaker 3: the one that ends up winning had more Lakers and
15:08
Speaker 3: Rockets is littered with injury bug that Detroit in Orlando one.
15:12
Speaker 3: I think it probably would have been over last two
15:14
Speaker 3: nights ago if Wagner's healthy. So like the the injuries
15:19
Speaker 3: that we've talked about so much for the Bucks and
15:21
Speaker 3: what really held them back, I mean it, it has
15:24
Speaker 3: been the calling card of the NBA playoffs. It much
15:27
Speaker 3: similar now drew to probably than the NFL playoffs than
15:30
Speaker 3: that ever more similar now than it ever has before
15:33
Speaker 3: in that it's not always the best team that wins.
15:35
Speaker 3: A lot of times, it is more times than not
15:37
Speaker 3: the best team, but it's always going to end up
15:39
Speaker 3: being the healthier one.
15:40
Speaker 6: Well, the funny thing with injuries in the NBA is
15:44
Speaker 6: that all the focuses on tanking, Like we got the
15:47
Speaker 6: three two one now and we're tanking.
15:48
Speaker 1: We're tanking and you know.
15:51
Speaker 6: A third of the teams are tanking, you know for
15:54
Speaker 6: much of the season, especially the back end, and we
15:56
Speaker 6: had a lot of competitive games, but the flips out
16:00
Speaker 6: of that. The companion piece that they need to address
16:02
Speaker 6: is the load management piece, because even teams that aren't
16:05
Speaker 6: tanking during the season are load managing, and that's a
16:09
Speaker 6: form of tanking of not playing your best guys and
16:12
Speaker 6: load managing guys and not seeing the stars.
16:14
Speaker 1: So you at the double whammy.
16:15
Speaker 6: Even the teams that are trying to win and that
16:17
Speaker 6: are good and efficient are often not at full strength,
16:21
Speaker 6: which is to me it's like maybe slightly less of
16:24
Speaker 6: a problem, but still a problem for the NBA.
16:26
Speaker 1: So address it, yeah, like both if you can.
16:29
Speaker 3: And like Wagner was hurt throughout the year, so his
16:31
Speaker 3: isn't great, But like Ben Carrow played in seventy two
16:34
Speaker 3: of the eighty two games, right, well that's a twenty
16:37
Speaker 3: three year old superstar, former number one overall pick. Right,
16:39
Speaker 3: Like that fact that you're not able to go seventy
16:42
Speaker 3: five to eighty games is a tough one. And Drew,
16:45
Speaker 3: I think the other part though, in like we do
16:48
Speaker 3: this with the NFL, and we will once they get
16:50
Speaker 3: the training camp. How much of these hits and the
16:52
Speaker 3: preseason do you need to have to make your regular
16:56
Speaker 3: season as good as.
16:57
Speaker 1: It can be.
16:58
Speaker 3: How much of the back to backs and the playing
17:02
Speaker 3: three games in five days do you have to have
17:04
Speaker 3: during the regular season and you actually have to stress
17:07
Speaker 3: it so you can be healthy in the most important
17:09
Speaker 3: time of the post playoff schedule does lend itself to
17:12
Speaker 3: recovery and to you know, it's a pretty easy schedule, Yeah.
17:17
Speaker 1: But I mean back to backs or no.
17:18
Speaker 3: But for now they're playing every other day, like they're
17:21
Speaker 3: talking about it with Lebron. When you're forty one, that's
17:23
Speaker 3: going to catch up to you a lot more than
17:25
Speaker 3: the twenty four year olds. But that's also also why
17:28
Speaker 3: you have to train for that the regular season three and.
17:30
Speaker 6: Three like you know, like with which they do sometimes,
17:33
Speaker 6: or three or four games and five nights. Yes, the
17:35
Speaker 6: NBA grind, right, they're supposed to prepare you for that.
17:38
Speaker 6: I don't know what the answers are.
17:40
Speaker 3: Easiest one, and like I saw a lot of people
17:43
Speaker 3: very upset about the anti tanking, the three two one
17:46
Speaker 3: method thing that's very against small markets. I understand how
17:49
Speaker 3: you're saying that if your team is just absolute cheeks
17:52
Speaker 3: hard to always penalize you. But then somehow get better, right,
17:56
Speaker 3: somehow find a way to be a little bit better.
17:58
Speaker 1: And then you have to dumb luck in the line,
18:00
Speaker 1: as you always have and you always will. But I
18:05
Speaker 1: still think the easiest one.
18:06
Speaker 3: If you're trying to get everybody to play the same
18:07
Speaker 3: amount of games, you just make the games forty minutes.
18:11
Speaker 3: You make the games forty minutes. You take a serious,
18:13
Speaker 3: serious amount of the time throughout the games and throughout
18:16
Speaker 3: the season off, and then your uniform with every other
18:19
Speaker 3: league in basketball where the game has never been more
18:22
Speaker 3: global before.
18:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, international standard is forty. It's a good point, Billy.

20:54
Speaker 8: that is he they well, they're all billionaires.
20:58
Speaker 1: Is that what you're going say to say? Most of
20:59

21:00
Speaker 3: Even though horse racing is the one thing that if
21:02
Speaker 3: I finally hit that one parlay that gives me the show. Heyo, Tani, money,
21:07
Speaker 3: buying a horse is something I want to get.
21:09
Speaker 1: Is it really?

21:27
Speaker 1: he's like a tad. That felt pointed. He's trying to
21:30
Speaker 1: control you. That felt I'm trying to help this horse.
21:33
Speaker 3: I don't want this horse ever to say, get this
21:36
Speaker 3: fat subtile.
21:37
Speaker 1: Gut off of me.
21:38
Speaker 3: You guys think that I'm gonna be running with this ankle,
21:42
Speaker 3: good weighted vest.
21:43
Speaker 1: That's fair.
21:44
Speaker 3: It would be a good It might be better better
21:46
Speaker 3: training for you.
21:46
Speaker 8: He'll run like the wind after. I used to watch
21:49
Speaker 8: documentaries on Native America What is going on? They would
21:52
Speaker 8: have their wild ponies that they would get those palamino
21:55
Speaker 8: mustangs and they would take them into like five feet
21:57
Speaker 8: of water and they'd be the resistance.
21:59
Speaker 1: Razy. Yeah, wanted to get out. They were they were chilled.
22:02
Speaker 8: Maybe it would have the billy.
22:06
Speaker 6: Come on, why am I flashing back to U in
22:09
Speaker 6: there's a bar called and where they have a.
22:12
Speaker 1: Donkey outside, remember Iron the donkey bar, Yeah, sat on it.
22:16
Speaker 6: But one of our coworkers and Billy wasn't on the
22:18
Speaker 6: trip at sunburn Ball, one of our co workers was
22:21
Speaker 6: a little a little hefty and the guy who was
22:24
Speaker 6: with the Burroughs.
22:25
Speaker 3: Like, no, no, you're too big.
22:30
Speaker 1: The next to the door.
22:33
Speaker 6: Yeah, he had to stand next to and get that
22:35
Speaker 6: arm and climbed up on there. I got.
22:38
Speaker 1: Guy.
22:39
Speaker 3: I had a friend of mine growing up who I
22:41
Speaker 3: played baseball with. His dad was like a horse trainer,
22:44
Speaker 3: so like he would he would break in the horse
22:47
Speaker 3: like that. And I remember the one time we went
22:49
Speaker 3: up to to Shano and they were like they had
22:51
Speaker 3: some horses.
22:52
Speaker 1: They're like, you want to go for I don't want
22:54
Speaker 1: to do that to this poor horse, all.
22:56
Speaker 3: Right, And I was in sixth grade. I was hyper
22:57
Speaker 3: aware at that moment. I still did get up on
23:00
Speaker 3: said saddle and went went went for the ride.
23:04
Speaker 1: Yeah.
23:04
Speaker 3: Equestrian was just never, never in my life. I don't
23:07
Speaker 3: have the quads for it.
23:08
Speaker 8: You know, it's a pony when you went to the
23:10
Speaker 8: church the festivals as a kid, when the horses go
23:13
Speaker 8: the ponies go around.
23:14
Speaker 1: You never did that. I did all that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
23:16
Speaker 1: I did too.
23:17
Speaker 3: I didn't want that pony looking at me saying, come on,
23:20
Speaker 3: next guy, next, next one, let's go.
23:22
Speaker 1: You know, I saw an article that I guess Kentucky.
23:26
Speaker 2: The Kentucky Derby's drawing criticism from patrons at the price
23:29
Speaker 2: they are getting too high. I'm sorry, that's one I
23:31
Speaker 2: can't defend from my fellow savers.
23:33
Speaker 1: What did you expect? This is the Kentucky Derby? This
23:35
Speaker 1: isn't like the value.
23:37
Speaker 2: Maybe it is, and I just didn't realize it used
23:39
Speaker 2: to be ten bucks in the infield or whatever. Okay,
23:41
Speaker 2: maybe in eighteen, you know, forty two, you know, or
23:43
Speaker 2: something like that.
23:44
Speaker 1: But this is like we're the rich and elite.
23:46
Speaker 2: It's like going to f one and say, why is
23:48
Speaker 2: it so much money in Monaco?
23:50
Speaker 8: And ironically it's in Louisville, Kentucky. Is it the same
23:53
Speaker 8: way at the other Triple Crown? Do you have to
23:55
Speaker 8: get all dolled up at the Preakness or the Belmont.
23:57
Speaker 1: To the hats? That as prevalent?
24:02
Speaker 6: Probably, but okay, I mean the rich people with the
24:04
Speaker 6: people who own the horses always dressed like that.
24:06
Speaker 1: That's fair.
24:07
Speaker 2: He used to be functional too, now it's about Instagram
24:10
Speaker 2: and social media and all these things.
24:12
Speaker 3: But that's a good point, Drew, Like, they definitely dress
24:15
Speaker 3: more like because I always I've thought about that. Last night,
24:17
Speaker 3: they put up all the Knicks greats. Right, you have
24:21
Speaker 3: John Starks looks like basketball Dad Knicks Polo Nick's hat,
24:26
Speaker 3: Alan Houston looking super cool, he just.
24:29
Speaker 1: Non logoed out. And then there's Mal Frasier just in
24:32
Speaker 1: the sweetest suit that you're ever gonna see. But this
24:36
Speaker 1: is what he looks last. But he's always rocket.
24:37
Speaker 8: But he's always since he played, he's always been on
24:40
Speaker 8: the front forefront of fashions.
24:43
Speaker 1: Patrick Ewing looks like a grandpa.
24:45
Speaker 3: Yeah. And the best thing is they're all getting up celebrating.
24:49
Speaker 3: Patrick's like, yeah, wake me up.
24:53
Speaker 1: Right now.
24:55
Speaker 2: I love that they all, like the Knicks Dad's group,
24:57
Speaker 2: are like sitting together.
24:58
Speaker 1: It is I know that warm your Heart's cool.
25:01
Speaker 6: And not as much as for arms watching David Robinson
25:06
Speaker 6: with the T shirt and Timmy with the T shirt.
25:09
Speaker 1: The big fundamental they're wearing the.
25:10
Speaker 2: T shirts in the front, right, I think that matters
25:12
Speaker 2: to fans and senior greats get along with each other
25:14
Speaker 2: as time goes on. I think you want to do
25:16
Speaker 2: this really quick. You're talking about We talked about undercovered
25:19
Speaker 2: stories earlier in the week. I think one of the
25:22
Speaker 2: undercovered stories is how the Great Bulls teams the PIP
25:25
Speaker 2: in Jordan, they don't get along anymore, and that's got
25:27
Speaker 2: to kill Bulls fans. That's got to kill them. I
25:30
Speaker 2: think the fact that their team is all their cheeks.
25:33
Speaker 2: I think it matters to fans that that they don't
25:36
Speaker 2: see those guys get along the way they wanted to
25:38
Speaker 2: love those guys.
25:39
Speaker 1: Well, it would to me, it would bother the hell
25:41
Speaker 1: out of me. I don't know, I just would.
25:44
Speaker 2: I'm just saying if one day Giannis and Middleton were
25:46
Speaker 2: on bad terms, it would hurt me.
25:48
Speaker 1: They didn't get along when they were winning championships, I know't.
25:51
Speaker 1: I think fans want to believe that.
25:53
Speaker 6: Jordan was punching Steve Kurr at practice and when Jordan
25:57
Speaker 6: wasn't refused to get off the bench.
26:00
Speaker 3: Want to still to now go sit back and have
26:02
Speaker 3: like his he used to try to get Coon to
26:04
Speaker 3: have have fireside chats, bring everybody, bring everybody up to
26:07
Speaker 3: somebody's condo or somebody's, somebody's lake house, and that round
26:11
Speaker 3: camp fire and hang out.
26:12
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't to bring it all around. It doesn't
26:14
Speaker 1: happen in many pro sports in anyone. Well, that was
26:17
Speaker 1: very I would have been a content winner. Though.
26:19
Speaker 6: One thing anybody says, the one thing about the Derby
26:21
Speaker 6: the last few years is that we know Rogers is
26:24
Speaker 6: going to be there with his posse, and he's going
26:26
Speaker 6: to be all suited up. He's going to pay for
26:28
Speaker 6: his boys. I don't know if he's made the travel roster.
26:30
Speaker 6: He's been on the travel roster a while. Uh, Cobb
26:33
Speaker 6: will be there probably, he said yesterday he's not going.
26:36
Speaker 6: He is not going, Wow Randall as usually usually brothers.
26:41
Speaker 3: But now you know, who knows. Maybe maybe he's taken
26:44
Speaker 3: her friends. Maybe, but maybe he's taking the Yeah, but
26:47
Speaker 3: then then.
26:48
Speaker 6: He he'd be exposed on social for you can't do
26:50
Speaker 6: that public a thing with you know, hit.
26:52
Speaker 1: That beltrue, that great point.
26:56
Speaker 6: I mean you were Christian Yell. It's just public now
26:58
Speaker 6: with a girlfriend. Yeah, Rogers is married and we still
27:01
Speaker 6: that international woman of mystery.
27:03
Speaker 3: Dolf welcomes Christian Yelich onto his radio, showing now to
27:06
Speaker 3: a day later he hard launches a girlfriend.
27:10
Speaker 1: That's big news that you guys, just missed out of.
27:12
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's unfortunate for us, I guess, but you know
27:15
Speaker 8: he uh what what? We didn't get much out of
27:17
Speaker 8: him that day. He did tell us though, that he's
27:19
Speaker 8: close to being back. That that was the biggest scoop
27:21
Speaker 8: that we got.
27:22
Speaker 1: I did.
27:22
Speaker 3: I did appreciate his uh his slight kiggle when he said,
27:25
Speaker 3: are you gonna tell us break some news when when
27:26
Speaker 3: you're gonna get no?
27:28
Speaker 8: No, no, it was his response, no, yeah, But we
27:32
Speaker 8: had fun with him. He talked, He talked about getting
27:34
Speaker 8: on stage with Riley Green last year at Summerfest and
27:37
Speaker 8: singing what was it red solo cup or whatever they
27:40
Speaker 8: sing and and but he.
27:41
Speaker 1: Has no intention of singing.
27:44
Speaker 8: He did say he'd like to learn the guitar better,
27:46
Speaker 8: so he must play a little guitars around a little bit.
27:49
Speaker 1: He's like the guy that would want to do that. Yeah,
27:51
Speaker 1: it's just cool, Aaron Rodgers. Cool dudes, I mean they
27:54
Speaker 1: wanted they wanted to know guitar. If you are a
27:56
Speaker 1: cool dude, you want to learn the guitar.
27:58
Speaker 8: I learned My wife gave me lessons for six months
28:00
Speaker 8: when I lived out West, and I learned what should
28:02
Speaker 8: we do the drunken sailor, which I didn't realize until
28:06
Speaker 8: on the water. Those two things I didn't smoke on
28:09
Speaker 8: the water. I think I put that in the piano.
28:10
Speaker 8: Do you realize what was Until I learned that song
28:13
Speaker 8: on the guitar, I didn't realize it was the famous
28:15
Speaker 8: NFL films.
28:18
Speaker 1: It was that one. I'm like, I did that to
28:23
Speaker 1: my my pianoty like the Autumn Wind is a oh,
28:30
Speaker 1: that's a classic.
28:31
Speaker 6: But so if you're a Pittsburgh fan, you're looking at Rogers,
28:33
Speaker 6: like what kind of shape does he look like in
28:35
Speaker 6: this weird suit that he's.
28:36
Speaker 1: Wearing and he's looks like he's working out.
28:38
Speaker 6: Is he ready or is he You know, I'm fascinated
28:42
Speaker 6: by that thing because we're at a distance now, but
28:44
Speaker 6: here Pittsburgh is like trying to decide whether he's gonna
28:47
Speaker 6: play and they don't know, and Billy positive that maybe
28:49
Speaker 6: McCarthy wants to look at the other guys during this stuff,
28:51
Speaker 6: and then Rogers can come when the real training camp starts,
28:54
Speaker 6: which would be in character, it's probably gonna happen, right.
28:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's that's that's what he's wanted to
28:59
Speaker 3: and that's what he kind of advocated for And again,
29:01
Speaker 3: if you go back to what do you do?
29:03
Speaker 1: What? What are your actions?
29:04
Speaker 3: Ever since twenty twenty when he wins the MVP with
29:07
Speaker 3: no camp and then advocated for it during the CBA negotiations,
29:11
Speaker 3: he hasn't gone to any of the mandatory mini case.
29:13
Speaker 3: He hasn't gone to any training And then so like
29:15
Speaker 3: it isn't it isn't that crazy when you look at
29:17
Speaker 3: the last five years of evidence.
29:18
Speaker 6: But the thing is, though, you know, if he really wants,
29:22
Speaker 6: if the bow knicks thing, and if there's a chance
29:25
Speaker 6: that he could go play for Peyton and with a
29:26
Speaker 6: better roster and have a chance to do something.
29:29
Speaker 1: I that that one is interesting, isn't it?
29:32
Speaker 6: One to me is like, well, I want to go
29:33
Speaker 6: back to Pittsburgh. That sits in the back living my
29:35
Speaker 6: options perly, it's a little.
29:36
Speaker 8: Bit Yeah, that would be mind bloy. What would the
29:38
Speaker 8: compensation be for that?
29:40
Speaker 1: Well, he said he'll play for nothing, He'll play, I'll
29:42
Speaker 1: play for ten ms. He played for eleven or twelve
29:46
Speaker 1: last Steelers tag him for just that eventuality. I think
29:49
Speaker 1: that would be the case.
29:50
Speaker 6: He signed for about fix a powder and then someone
29:52
Speaker 6: calls him and he goes, Oh to be an injury
29:55
Speaker 6: replaced mark by them.
29:56
Speaker 1: So you think June is one we're gonna get the
29:58
Speaker 1: answer on it. I'm guessing would stay closer to July.
30:01
Speaker 8: What is it about June, because that's when we heard
30:02
Speaker 8: the AJ Brown deal is going to go down to
30:04
Speaker 8: So the.
30:05
Speaker 1: Per June first is a big contractual day.
30:08
Speaker 3: A lot of roster bonuses trigger on that day, in
30:11
Speaker 3: a lot of contracts for salary cap purposes like AJ Brown's.
30:14
Speaker 3: If he would have been traded before June first, he
30:17
Speaker 3: got charred forty something million dollars to the Eagles salary cap.
30:22
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, you don't want to do that.
30:23
Speaker 8: Well, that was the same thing for Rogers and Greens
30:25
Speaker 8: a couple of years ago. Right, It had to be
30:26
Speaker 8: a certain point before it happened.
30:28
Speaker 3: And they allow you sometimes to be like, oh, we're
30:31
Speaker 3: cutting this guy with a post June first designation so
30:34
Speaker 3: they can go and negotiate. But trades you actually have
30:36
Speaker 3: to wait till that get in, wait, wait to hit
30:38
Speaker 3: the ambiance until after.
30:40
Speaker 1: I'm learning a lot on the show today. That's right.
30:42
Speaker 6: So, Douff, we were talking about it, and you have
30:45
Speaker 6: to give a grudging respect to the sports night they
30:47
Speaker 6: had in Minneapolis last night, the Wild one at home,
30:51
Speaker 6: Timberwolves won at home. They both walked off their series.
30:54
Speaker 6: And then meanwhile, back here among the tyre and Strip
30:56
Speaker 6: club ads as we say, you could see the Twins
30:58
Speaker 6: they won at home, all three games going on at
31:01
Speaker 6: the same time. That's a great night in sports. It
31:03
Speaker 6: is like they haven't had anywhere near the championship success
31:07
Speaker 6: or just even the divisional success like that we've had
31:09
Speaker 6: in this market.
31:10
Speaker 1: But that's a great night for them.
31:12
Speaker 6: And I tip my cap and go I must be
31:13
Speaker 6: great to be a sports fan in the Twin Cities
31:15
Speaker 6: last night.
31:16
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm happy for the Wild and the fact that,
31:19
Speaker 8: you know, the Timberwolves. That was kind of a chippy
31:21
Speaker 8: series with the Nuggets. Yeah, and they dispatched them last night.
31:24
Speaker 6: Now, well, they'd be fed to the woodchepper with by
31:26
Speaker 6: Wemby and the Spurs very much could be I don't know.
31:30
Speaker 8: They were missing three dudes last night that all averaged uh.
31:34
Speaker 1: And talked about it and they still and they still won.
31:36
Speaker 6: Very impressive, very impressive, And they had a pretty good
31:40
Speaker 6: season series. Like you know, during the regular season, Wolves
31:43
Speaker 6: and San Antonio was a.
31:44
Speaker 1: Pretty good, pretty good theater. I don't know if San Antonio.
31:47
Speaker 3: I don't think San Antonio beat them in Minnesota, so
31:49
Speaker 3: that would lend itself to think that you could go there. Also,
31:52
Speaker 3: this is what this is going to be the greatest
31:55
Speaker 3: moment in French basketball history.
31:57
Speaker 1: Gotta be their two.
31:58
Speaker 3: Greatest and Rudy go and going ahead.
32:02
Speaker 1: Tony Parker won some titles. You know what, he might
32:06
Speaker 1: be at some of these games. He will because they
32:10
Speaker 1: get along.
32:10
Speaker 8: The most French French guy ever because they get along,
32:16
Speaker 8: bumped his ass.
32:17
Speaker 2: It was a different deal. But you're right, they don't
32:19
Speaker 2: seem very uh seem very French. You never never thought of.
32:23
Speaker 2: Tony Parker is a super French name and the super French.
32:25
Speaker 6: And in these parts we do there are some folks
32:27
Speaker 6: who like the Blackhawks. A lot of people like the
32:28
Speaker 6: Preds because of the admirals affiliation the Wild Iowa Wild.
32:33
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't have.
32:34
Speaker 6: A real hatred for the Iowa Wild and the Minnesota Wild,
32:36
Speaker 6: but they have an advanced out of the first round
32:38
Speaker 6: of ten years.
32:38
Speaker 1: So tip of the cap.
32:40
Speaker 8: Congratulations, good you got me thinking that. With that city,
32:44
Speaker 8: which is a good sports market in Minneapolis, Saint Paul
32:47
Speaker 8: was the Twins. Was that the last time they won
32:49
Speaker 8: a title, or it was the North Stars or anybody
32:51
Speaker 8: like that ever win one, or.
32:53
Speaker 2: It was the Twins, and they whine about it because
32:55
Speaker 2: they always talk about they had the longest drought because
32:57
Speaker 2: they had four teams up in like champ mean ship
33:00
Speaker 2: less years. So they always end those up when they say, well,
33:03
Speaker 2: we have the longest drought because it's been this many
33:05
Speaker 2: total seasons.
33:06
Speaker 1: But it was the Twins in ninety one were home
33:10
Speaker 1: last night because they got their Triple A team there.
33:12
Speaker 6: Like that's I'm jealous of Minnesota as a market because
33:16
Speaker 6: they got everything right there. They don't have to go
33:19
Speaker 6: to Madison in Green Bay to get their fixed point.
33:23
Speaker 1: It's all right, self contained.
33:24
Speaker 8: I love the Twin Cities except for you know, once
33:27
Speaker 8: November rolls around, then it's eleven degrees up there.
33:30
Speaker 1: But oh yeah, but you don't like the vikings there.
33:31
Speaker 2: I don't like I would have to ask our our
33:34
Speaker 2: friends up there and Cape. Is there like a rivalry
33:37
Speaker 2: between the Twin City or they just all unite and
33:39
Speaker 2: say we're part of the Twins. There's no Like Saint Paul,
33:42
Speaker 2: I'm hard, you know, Like I'm not Minneapolis. I'm not
33:45
Speaker 2: like you yuppies. I'm Saint Paul and I'm that's.
33:47
Speaker 1: A good question. I don't think there is that, not
33:50
Speaker 1: like Greenfield West east Side or.
33:51
Speaker 8: No Way, nothing like Greenfield, No one Greenfield, Greendale.
33:56
Speaker 1: Would that be Greendale? You know the uh you know
34:00
Speaker 1: what when the sixties, Oh Creek Franklin. Ye exactly.
34:03
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's by the way, that's a great football rivalry.
34:06
Speaker 8: On a Friday night, you just tough to find a
34:08
Speaker 8: place to park down in that area. So for you, Billy,
34:11
Speaker 8: it was it was it was Greenfield Winna was that well, I.
34:13
Speaker 3: Mean listening, you don't even make you don't even really
34:16
Speaker 3: concern yourself with Greenfield. Yeah for a while if they're
34:19
Speaker 3: not even a rival, if they never went just kind
34:21
Speaker 3: of down there, So technically probably would have been Greenfield.
34:25
Speaker 1: What beat you and beat.
34:25
Speaker 2: You in tennis once on the doubles JV doubles, all right, JV.
34:30
Speaker 1: Doubles every year.
34:32
Speaker 3: But when you're in the midst of I think Greendale
34:35
Speaker 3: was a good one for us. But Windalls kind of
34:39
Speaker 3: just like post in there, just that kind of in
34:41
Speaker 3: the middle of like four different areas because we end
34:43
Speaker 3: up going into Greenfield, a little bit into Franklin obviously
34:46
Speaker 3: all Hales corners. It just it's just a dropped in
34:49
Speaker 3: fan base. Was one that kind of gets carved out.
34:52
Speaker 3: It's the rock Freeway School, well.
34:54
Speaker 2: The new very well put yes, the new fire truck
34:57
Speaker 2: engine and in the city of Greenfield. One side of
34:59
Speaker 2: the or has the Witnel Falcon, one side has the
35:01
Speaker 2: Greenfield that's awesome, trying to unite, but you know it's
35:05
Speaker 2: come on, this is green Field.
35:06
Speaker 3: Thing is the high school window. High schools going through
35:09
Speaker 3: a pretty significant remodel. As I'm driving by and yesterday
35:13
Speaker 3: I got a little glance in as they took down
35:15
Speaker 3: one of big walls towards the weight room.
35:18
Speaker 1: No bricks. I hope they didn't take down and like,
35:20
Speaker 1: you know, all the bricks. But they're relocating the bricks. Okay,
35:24
Speaker 1: see that's a problem.
35:24
Speaker 3: They're gonna move the bricks to another location, just like
35:27
Speaker 3: with the bricks to another location. But they took down
35:29
Speaker 3: the took down the wall towards the gym and into
35:33
Speaker 3: the weight room.
35:33
Speaker 1: You can look right in. I'm like, wow, spent a
35:35
Speaker 1: lot of time in there.
35:36
Speaker 8: Is that Tyler hero money that's doing that tax Paramouney. Okay,
35:40
Speaker 8: well yeah tax Paramouney. Remember built the gym up in
35:43
Speaker 8: Brown Deer.
35:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is this is a regular referendum that got
35:47
Speaker 1: a lot.
35:48
Speaker 3: Of you saw those signs on Tyler's name is gonna
35:50
Speaker 3: be rather prominently placed.
35:52

35:55
Speaker 1: name gonna be? Bill? Billy come on the Billy.
35:57
Speaker 3: Schmid Definitely not on one of them bricks that I
35:59

Speaker 3: of that Limu EMU on.
37:47
Speaker 1: The text line.
37:47
Speaker 3: We have a couple of good uh king days here,
37:50
Speaker 3: Chris and Lodi. Years ago, Drew, I took my brother
37:53
Speaker 3: on his birthday to the Ron Daane record breaking game.
37:56
Speaker 3: Then uh and that was from there his first Badger's
37:59
Speaker 3: hot game and they beat number one Minnesota.
38:02
Speaker 6: Then it's a pretty good sports day there. That's a
38:04
Speaker 6: heck of a double header. They have those double headers.
38:07
Speaker 6: The Camp Randall Cole Center thing lends itself to some
38:10
Speaker 6: double big time dipping and are there's like a Marquette
38:13
Speaker 6: Day game Bucks Night game happened for sure.
38:16
Speaker 3: Yes, Uh those are even better though if you can
38:19
Speaker 3: stay somehow inside watch them change off the floor, because
38:22
Speaker 3: that's one of the more impressive fit is awesome ever happens? Uh,
38:25
Speaker 3: Charlie on the talking text line Magic Johnson's first year
38:28
Speaker 3: with the Lakers at the Forum and then saw Dylan
38:31
Speaker 3: at Santa Monica Civic.
38:33
Speaker 1: That Wow, it's a pretty good double dip. That's a
38:35
Speaker 1: heck of a double tick.
38:36
Speaker 6: That's like our Diamondbacks Cubs Springsteen double big Time's triple header.
38:41
Speaker 1: Because we went to the Strip Club after I was
38:43
Speaker 1: gonna say who knows what for me?
38:45
Speaker 2: There was one where there was only one live game.
38:47
Speaker 2: But it was two experiences.
38:49
Speaker 1: It was.
38:49
Speaker 2: There was a Marquette Day game, big win, don't remember
38:52
Speaker 2: who it was against. Me went across the street to
38:54
Speaker 2: Major Goldsby's and watched the Brett Favre of Oakland Monday
38:58
Speaker 2: night game, the Oakland game.
39:00
Speaker 1: Then that was all together in one.
39:02
Speaker 2: So that was a special thing to watch it Major
39:04
Speaker 2: Goldsby's and you know, an iconic plays.
39:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got.
39:08
Speaker 6: We got hosed on one that could have been the
39:10
Speaker 6: king day of all king days when the Brewers got
39:13
Speaker 6: throttled on Opening Day and then the Badgers lost a
39:15
Speaker 6: duke and the.
39:15
Speaker 1: Chance were real close to that.
39:17
Speaker 6: I was like, oh, I had the Brewers won and
39:20
Speaker 6: the Opening Day is its own entity and it's awesome.
39:22
Speaker 6: And then if you had followed that with a Badger victory, like,
39:25
Speaker 6: oh my god, that would have been the day.
39:26
Speaker 1: But we got again.
39:28
Speaker 6: As we say on the show, if I've been saying
39:30
Speaker 6: for years, ninety percent of being a sports fans getting
39:32
Speaker 6: kicked in the nads, right, But for Minnesota last night,
39:36
Speaker 6: that was part.
39:37
Speaker 1: Of the ten percent. They were ten percenters.
39:39
Speaker 6: Yeah, And other teams played and won and it was
39:41
Speaker 6: just good vibes and.
39:42
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just because I'm a jerk.
39:44
Speaker 3: One of my favorite king days was watching somebody get
39:47
Speaker 3: double kicked in the nads. Her boy Nick Brucewitz, friend
39:50
Speaker 3: from that was rough Iowa, Wisconsin doing the postgame show
39:56
Speaker 3: with Nick Brucewitz that night after his Cubs lose in
40:00
Speaker 3: Game five to the Brewers. So you get to watch
40:03
Speaker 3: that side screen then talk about the Badgers getting beat
40:07
Speaker 3: down thirty seven to nothing. His favorite team and probably
40:11
Speaker 3: his first true love. I don't mean to say anything
40:13
Speaker 3: against his lovely lady friend is on his first true
40:16
Speaker 3: love Wisconsin Badger football. I just getting pants and having
40:19
Speaker 3: the same defensive lineman intercept two passes. That was That
40:23
Speaker 3: was a tough day for Nick Brucewitz, but I just
40:24
Speaker 3: got to sit next to him and then, you know,
40:27
Speaker 3: just keep needling. So that that would probably that would
40:30
Speaker 3: have been one of the jerk Nick fans that was
40:32
Speaker 3: in attendance last night at State Farm that would just say, hey, man,
40:36
Speaker 3: you guys got a really nice team. You guys got
40:38
Speaker 3: a really really nice team. Next year is gonna be
40:40
Speaker 3: awesome for you.
40:41
Speaker 1: Don't worry. Next year is gonna be phenomenal for you.
40:44
Speaker 2: Oh, Billy, you're good at that, you know, that that
40:45
Speaker 2: way about, you know, Billy, I can only imagine how.
40:47
Speaker 1: That would have been. Yeah for Nick, Yet I had
40:49
Speaker 1: a lot of fun that night.
40:50
Speaker 3: There's another one on the talking text line from Jake
40:53
Speaker 3: in Belgium.
40:54
Speaker 1: You know, guys, NICOLEA.
40:55
Speaker 3: Jokich the same caliber player as Giani and Gianness. And
40:58
Speaker 3: now Jokic just got bounce in the first round. His
41:00
Speaker 3: career is going like Yannis has got a coach fired
41:03
Speaker 3: and hasn't done much since winning at all. My question
41:06
Speaker 3: is why don't we hear constant rumors for him to
41:08
Speaker 3: get traded to a bigger market like we do Giannis
41:11
Speaker 3: every year for the last seven to eight years. Now,
41:13
Speaker 3: great week great, have a great weekend.
41:15
Speaker 1: Boys.
41:16
Speaker 3: Well, the one thing is hard to get to a
41:18
Speaker 3: bigger market than like one of the top ten markets
41:20
Speaker 3: in the country in Denver. I think that would be
41:23
Speaker 3: the number one deal is he's already in a massive market.
41:26
Speaker 3: That would be the first part there. But I would
41:28
Speaker 3: say this, and this is the one that's really gonna
41:30
Speaker 3: potentially upset some folks, Drew. Jokic hasn't asked for it
41:34
Speaker 3: like Yannis potentially has. True, right, Like there's there's reason why,
41:38
Speaker 3: like if you think that only the smoke coming to
41:42
Speaker 3: have his name in the trade conversation is simply coming
41:46
Speaker 3: from some manufactured for letter network conversation. I think at
41:49
Speaker 3: this point would would appear to be folly. He has
41:53
Speaker 3: continued to either feed or allow the narrative and conversation
41:57
Speaker 3: to continue long enough where Yoki Trade waste his last time.
42:00
Speaker 3: I still want to be a Nugget for the rest
42:01

42:16

42:30
Speaker 2: be home with the horses. He hates playing, So that
42:33
Speaker 2: is different from than the honest situation, which is always
42:36
Speaker 2: is he looking somewhere else?
42:37
