• 0:10
  Speaker 1: slaughtered in Petco Park eleven to two.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Wasn't that close?
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair. It really won't go that close. But
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: it's hot take hump day for us. We're looking ahead
• 0:20

• 0:32
  Speaker 1: on now, let's start it in this chair. I'll open
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the bidding. Ready for this one hot take? The uh
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: red flags of warning are all over the place for
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: one Paul Skeens. Mmm, I did see those numbers last night. Hut,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Paul Skeens. There's something up. He is not the force
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: it used to be. Skeens miss every time he pitched.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Now it's like, oh, well they got shut out by
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the Marlins yesterday and the Pirates have got four hits.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: They lost two to nothing, so that's not abysmal. No,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: but he left Uh Skeens exited after five innings and
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: sixty five pitches.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: And I saw, I don't think he threw one over
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: ninety six miles an hour. Oh yeah, that's not right
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: and like and.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Still rather effective five innings that gave up only one ernie.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: But he hasn't been the same at all.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: You had the he got shelled a couple of weeks
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: ago against the Reds.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: The Cubs tagged him up pretty good. The brewers, I
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: mean got to him a little bit. Yeah, a couple
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: of weeks ago because he just couldn't locate and uh
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: ooh that's for seamers said at ninety five point seven
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: he allowed.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Eight hard hit balls.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: That's not normal for him, and his for steamer netted
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: an average exit velocity of one hundred miles per It
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: does feel like.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: A lot of the known quantities in the pitching department
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: have not been pitching as well, or at least that
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: that variation is occurring. I mean, Skeens has been down
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: a bit, Schoobles struggled, you know, the last couple. It
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: is pretty interesting the follow how you know, you don't
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: always have very few starters that are total known quantities
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: all the time.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: And and and in.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Reality, yes, their dips can still be better than most guys. Uh,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: but they haven't been as dominant those those few guys
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: and schemes is a good example bad as it has
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: been your well, your super special war Yeah five nine
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: and twenty three starts as a rookie, seven point six
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: war in his thirty two starts a year ago, great stuff. Obviously,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: twenty five starts two point one this year. It's dropped off. Obviously,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: still a good pitcher is still helping your team, but
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: the special transcendence of those guys and how they can
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: impact you know, your team, like by being super special
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: drops off.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: And that's true of a lot of pitchers that have
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: had great years now.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, Burns obviously was really good, but
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: also had peak years.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: We talked about Parlt's peak years.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Those guys aren't really at the level of well maybe
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Burns was, but at the level of those other guys.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: But even great players, great pitchers have peak years and
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: down years, you know.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: So pirates are not five hunderd five hundred. There's six
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: out of the wildcard with five teams ahead of them.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: If I'm if I'm meeting, if I'm Don Kelly, and
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I'm their GM. I'm definitely talking about shutting Skeins. Do
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: see checking it all out?
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Just give him some time, shut him down, because what
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: are you doing well?
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: And at twenty three one hundred and eighty seven innings drew,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: that's a ton to have last year, right, And and
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: it's one of the difficult parts for the Brewers down
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: the stretch with how much how young they're pitching is
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: of what you have to.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Do makes well.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And as you know, Skeens is kind of like the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: test case for miss mm hmm. You got a guy
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: who you know, Skeens was the Rookie of the Year
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: unanimous CY Young winner, Like it looks like, you know,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: miss is on pace to be a CY Young winner
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: this year, and you gotta do you know, is it?
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Is it a cautionary tale? Like do you have to watch?
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Is it? You know?
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Thinks so me a little bit, very much so. But
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I think everyone is right. Like Spencer Strider is another
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: good one right. Like example, Strider was phenomenal to start
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: and he has been anything butt healthy over the last
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: three three to four years. And there's always the trepidation
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: that these guys are gonna get hurt. It almost is
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: like a mobile quarterback, a dual threat quarterback in the NFL. Well,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: just wait till he plays seven or eight years, and
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: it give me a very frustrating thing. But now we're
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: sitting here with Lamar Jackson walking into his year thirty
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: year looking for a contract, and I don't know that
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of teams that would want to re
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: up for that.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: That's the tough thing.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: About starting pitching, and MS does do it. To your point,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Drew Skeens is the guy that would walk so he
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: could run, but miss is also like sprinting, and he's
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: throwing even bigger heat than Skeens ever was Skeens.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: In May May sixth and May twelfth, he faced Arizona
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and then Colorado and in both games he went eight
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: scoreless innings.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: About as good as it can get, right that the hype.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Since that time he has made sixteen starts and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the Pirates are three and thirteen.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: In those sixteen games. Wow, he's had just five.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Well I take that back as six quality starts out
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: of sixteen out of sixteen.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: And the funny thing is just got an ERA over five.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: From the public perception, you would think all right, a
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: little bit turned around Pirates team. He's the only guy
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: that you think of, and it's actually been the offense
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: that they actually somewhat invested in in the offseason.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Right, It's not like it's him turning the whole team around.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're absolutely right, Billy, because Molso used to think
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: of the great players.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: But the Pirates are now they've lost fifteen of their
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: last twenty one games to basically fall out of it.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I love it, And they were like buying and they
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: were all excited at the deadline, but since the deadline,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: they've just the wheels have come off. Look at certain guys,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, Blake Snell made his return for the Dodgers
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: last night.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Long will waiting for them. Another guy his first starts
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: since May ninth.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now, he's he's a good pitcher, but he basically
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: had two great years, two cy young years, and the
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: rest of his career has been average. Not he was
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: great in the playoffs last year, unfortunately against US. But
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: there are certain guys like that that aren't as say
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: that's what makes the like you know, the Clemmens and
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: the sure maybe Verlanders and Churches. Those guys like that
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: are really good known quantities every year like it makes
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: them really special because you can count.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: On them to do that, but not ever great.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, Pedro Martinez was, Randy Johnson, certain guys still
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: had bet their best years.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Skeans is they're not saying that he's hiding an injury,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: but the drop in Velo makes you think it's dead arm.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: When had the dead arm? All right, so that's the case.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: But then if you reverse engineer it, what happened before
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the season.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he threw.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: And he was he was humping it up there and
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: he got ready early.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Well and who was the team?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Is the bill for that coming due now? Well, I
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: would say so. The other one is we don't know.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: But maybe we do this in the NBA one time
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: in the NBA with.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: EuroBasket and stuff. But what about Captain America.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, mister stress fracture still coming back in the
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: rib area like he was also in the midst of there.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: You look at everybody that was a part of the
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: WBC from the Team USA.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Side, there's not a ton that are having phenomenal years.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Bobby Wit Junior, now Bobby Witt I think is just
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: going to be good regardless. But in their team is
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: cheeks and has been all season long. He's definitely not
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: having a normal Bobby Wit year.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: To your point, it's really good, but it's not necessarily
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: as it was.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: My buddy, who's the kind of the Pirates insider guy
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: who's like there. Tom Hardcourt also is thrown out there,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: and again people in glasshouses shouldn't throw cheeseburgers.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: But Skins is a bit heavier this year than he was.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Oh really, life, he's a little thicker, and folks wonder
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: is that what's slowing down his delivery?
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: And is the conditioning an issue with him?
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: MS is trying to put on weight and they did
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: it lower body, and he's been talking about how great
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the strength and conditioning team has been and how that's
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: really helped him. And it feels great because of his
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the work he did on his legs. But Skeins looks
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: a little thicker to some than he did last year. Yeah,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: so so there's much So was it the world Baseball class?
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Now? When next time there's a World Baseball class, do
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: you want it? Is there?
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: We go? I mean, well, Livy's got a free like
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: a truckloads of Miller light coming her way.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Somebody's got to be drinking it. Restaurants.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: You just sounds wait long for someone to bring her up,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: because that's when everyone thinks of Paul. They think of Livy,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: of course, and they always okay, so how has Livy
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: uh that fall?
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like it's a perfect storm, but he looks
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: like he's going through dead arm because it doesn't look
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: like he might not be hiding an injury or something.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: But the velocity is down and the results are as awesome.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: That's the thing.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: And the results in the velocity are the two prime indicators.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Drew that like, you just can't hide behind it when
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: you're trying to throw on the mount. That is, the
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: game finds you.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: And in baseball it's taught the toughest to be able
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: to showcase because now everybody has now seen for what
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: was that sixteen starts, that's over two months, two and
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: a half months. Right now, every scouting report is your
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: velocities down.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: We know that we can hit this heater. We don't
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: have to sit on it as much because we know
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: that we can catch back up. That's a totally different
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: game plan than it is normally for for a skiing start.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I know it's like it's like team dependent on all this.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: But when it comes to like pitchers win loss records
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: to me for starters not as important or indicative as
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: what's the team's record when the guy starts, when the
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: guy who plays pitches, Yes, so if they're three and
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: thirteen in his last sixteen start, it used to be like, well,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Schemes is pitching, we're gonna win.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It was kind of the Breuers have that.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Mojo with with miss yeah, and that ain't the case now.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: And it's like, I know, it's not his fault, and
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: it's not his fault that they got, you know, four
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: hits and barely got it, got a second base and
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: they lost two to nothing yesterday.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: But there's just like it.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: But the juice is different. Yeah, the ic is different
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: for a Skien start. The Brewers didn't lose at all
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: when Quinn Priester threw last year.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Remember well Logan.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Henderson too, right, I mean they were what like twelve
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: and two in his fourteen starts. I lost the other night,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: But the same deal, Like, there is that that number
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: I always look at.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I think that's a good number of you know, even
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: though it's like it seems like mythical, but it's like
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: that that.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Is like the football equivalent of this team is seven
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: and zeroe close games. There can definitely be the argument
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: to say, well, next time they're in a close game,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: they're gonna get bit right and very much so like
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: you can lose when Logan Henderson is on there. But
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: generally speaking that ends up kind of being a little
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: bit of the mode in the mantra that you are that.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Year definitely not repeatable over four to five.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I've been making that case gently to Bears fans who
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: approached me because, like, generally speaking, the statistics say, if
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: you win a bunch of close games one year, the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: next year you don't win this year to year is
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the market correct two years ago marketable correct? And the
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: entire thing about again the Brewers that year that I
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: poo pooed the stats, well, they haven't lost four in row,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the only team in baseball like that doesn't mean anything.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: And then they open the next season losing four in
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: a row, had their best season ever in terms of
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: win victory totals, and then lost four in row and
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: possible time against the Dodgers in the NLCS.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: There's uh but but again, like in that year. That's
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: who you are, right, and you start becoming that team
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: in that season.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: It is a fickle, fickle thing to be able to
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: get out of, and so much of it is push
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: on it.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Right now, that guy almost hit the.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Ceiling there in Miami a story or Ruiz hitting bombs?
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I know what's going on now? Correct? Was right?
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: That's him?
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Red and he phoned a story. Are sluggers now? Yeah?
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: They are crazy.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: But the thing with the Brewers again, because the the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the way it was just so deflating.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: The loss to the Dodgers last year, they just got steamrolled. Right.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers played their best four games of the season
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: in that win four games and then almost lost the
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: World Series to Toronto, but they won. But that you forget.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: The Brewers were in the NLCS last year. We forget
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: because they didn't play that first round series. Again, you
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: win the series, you don't play and then people But
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: the way it was the way you lost the Dodgers
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: like derail it the same way like with the Packers
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: and the way they finished. You forget where they were
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: at halftime in Denver and that they were rolling and
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: it was looking great and then the wheels fell off
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: and you forget that they're still a good team.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: They come back. I watched them my practice.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: And maybe I'm just drunk on you know, Rainischki Field
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: All Stars, but like they look good to me. And
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: it's like, I think they're underregarded because of what happened
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: last year, because of the way they lost to the Bears.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: They puked away the leads twice in big games, especially
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I think people underregard them, which isn't
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: the bad thing. Necessarily bad thing, go ahead and be underregarded.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: But same thing with the Brewers, Like they were a
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: series away from the World Series last year and we've
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: it seems like it still seems so distant.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Totally seems a lot of very similar to the twenty
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: nineteen Packers. Hard to remember that they went to the
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: NFC title game that year. It's true, right, because they.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Got drummed and ran on for almost three hundred yards.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: By the Niners.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Right, It's like, uh, I don't really want to think
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: about that. So, yeah, it was fun, they played, Okay,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: they had a good year, and then you follow it
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: up the next year.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: You still are a damn good football team. Arguably, the
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: best one in ball.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: But it doesn't matter unless you get home and where
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: you're at right now, you got to be able to get.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Through this stretch. Talk about the Pirates too.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: They grab Luke Weaver, one of the stars of the Deadline,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: one of the guys the Brewers were looking at, and
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: they gave up a ton for him.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: He's pitched one time in nine days.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: There, simply because they haven't had the opportunity for like
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: you think you're gonna get some of these toys at
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: the deadline, and they don't always come to fruition as
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: to when you get to use them. Brewers have got
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: to use sense of teal in the last couple of
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: days or last couple of nights because they just haven't
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: had the leads in those spots.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: So I am Andrew.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: My hot hot take on the Packers is their defense
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: is going to stun people how good it will be
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: out of the gates, just because nationally and in the
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: entire regard you look at the loss of Micah Parsons
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: and that is going to be the headliner. They're going
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: to be a different defense until Parsons comes back. But
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: I think that just gets added into a soup that
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: is already damn good with the speed and explosiveness they
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: have sideline to sideline, Zaire Franklin's going to be a
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: huge addition for Edrin Cooper freeing him up. And when
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Javon Bullard is healthy, I think their secondary is the
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: best one in the division. Tough to say when you
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: have Keyshaw Nixon at corner and Brandon cisa over on
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: the other side, who hasn't played one NFL game, I
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: thinks is a player in that three safety look of Williams,
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: McKinney and Bullard went healthy.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I think is going to be as good as any
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: in the division.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: We will see when we see you know, mister aman Ross,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Saint Brown and Justin Jefferson.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: We've got a pretty good pressure real quick. You guys
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: tested right out of the gates.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: You remember how good the defense was last year to
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: start the year, I mean, the first couple of games
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: to start the year, the defense was flying around, making plays,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: shutting down NFC favorites. So we'll see, I mean, and
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: this goes to I think, how how things do change.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: And how we forget what you were just saying.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: We do get arrested by the moment a little bit,
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: but I like to think that you're right, Billy, and
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: I hope you are. So they're also it appears from
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: again maybe or just the naked eye and not counting
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: every single rep and documenting who's lining up on who.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: It does feel like they understand that cs IS gonna
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: get a baptism by fire in those first couple of weeks. Yeah,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: justin Jefferson, Garrett Wilson one of the highest paid guys
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: in ball and one of the best route runners in football,
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: and Mecca Buka is pretty damn good.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Drake London just got paid like one of the best
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: guys in ball. That first four weeks you're going up
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: against stars in the wide receiver room, better be ready.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: He has drawing Christian Watson seemingly every time they hit
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the ones versus ones. So I'm I'm very bullish on
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: what he looks like. And it starts out tonight, however,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: or tomorrow night, however much and however long we're looking
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: at Rogers. I'm very excited to see if the wideouts
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: are playing because Michael Pittman and DK Metcalf going against
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: CSA is a heck of a way to start your
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: NFL career.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: No, Welcome to the league, kid.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: Welcome to the league, because they're gonna be airing out
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: and you're gonna have to go stride for stride With
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: DK hot takes from the six to oh eight.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: The Luke Fickle Arrow will go down as the since
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the Don Morton era in Wisconsin football history.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Well at the moment, I don't know that it's super hot.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: That's that fair, that's a regular.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, well, the Don Morton thing, like he brought
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the veer offense to the Big Ten.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean it was, it was, and his
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: records were terrible. But but you but I don't. You're right,
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: it's not I.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Will dovetail off of that in that. Uh, the Gary
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Anderson era is more maligned than it should be in
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: terms of the results. Well, the results were not nearly
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: as bad. Yeah, it was. It was the way everything
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: felt that that was the way it felt. It was vibes, yes,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: But the results and the WS and L is.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: All anybody cares about, weren't as bad as people remember.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: No, and that's one of the reasons why he was
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: able to quickly get that escape route and get that
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: get that job when when there was maybe a gentle,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: gentle nudge.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: The Figgle one is a beautiful mystery.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: I I have been Luke Figgle.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Did not forget how to coach football, right, I just
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: that he did not forget how to coach football. I
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: still believe he's a good football coach. They have had
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: very difficult circumstances around it, but that's not an excuse
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: to be able to make when the turnover four rosters
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: is as vast as it is right now. They brought
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: in thirty plus transfers this year. They're in state recruiting,
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: and their high school recruiting four twenty twenty seven is
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: as good as.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: It's been in about ten years. The time is now.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: There is not a seat that is hotter probably in
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: college football than Luke Fickles. And I think there's something
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: too the way that they've handled it and the way
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: that they haven't shied away from that that can be
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: rather positive. Being said, hell of a way to start it,
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: hell of a way to start it against the odds
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: on favorite to win the national title in Notre Dame.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: That's a way to test yourself. And then the first
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Big ten game is coming in against a team that
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: is also a dark horse to probably make the college
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: football Playoff and one that nobody he's really thinking about
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: because they have a first time head coach.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: But he brought everybody from.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Amesa, Penn State. They're in Happy Valley at the end
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: of September. My boy Patrick has pointed it out that
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: the Badgers have three games in the league against first
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: year of coaches.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: And again, not who you play, it's when you play
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: him necessarily, Okay, U c l are they gonna be good?
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: We'll see people think so we don't necessarily know.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Yep, we'll see, you know. But yeah, that's something to
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: look at. But yeah, Fickle.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: I can't think of a coach who's on a hotter
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: seat than him, even Belchck. We talked about it yesterday.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I asked Armon that was our brainbuster question. Will Luke
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Fickle lasts longer at in Madison than Bill Belichick and
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Chapel Hill.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: That's a good one. A lot of factors there, right,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: A lot of factors, you know. I'm sing on that one. Yeah,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: that's okay. And what's funny about go ahead?
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: I was just gonna say it, by the way, I
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: just called it up because Garry Anderson uh nine and
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: four his first year, six and two in the league,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: ten and three, a second year seven one in the league,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: So thirteen and three in the league, nineteen and seven overall,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: and went to the Capitol One Bowl, and then they
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: went to the outback literally Capitol One Bowl in his
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: first year.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: I was going to bring up that, like how many
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: people would take that record right now, Like your memory
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: is totally different. The funny thing is it was by
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: far the best wretch of Gary Anderson's that they were.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: He didn't win anywhere. Fickle would take that roster too.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Both were top twenty five teams, So it just felt
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: like Fickle would take that roster too. Loo He would say,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: that's that's the thing.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's a there's a top fifteen pick in
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon on those teams.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: You talk about how like Fickle didn't got out to coach,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: You could say the same in the opposite way about
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Gary Anderson except for one eleven and two years Utah
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: State before he kN Wisconsin hadn't won anywhere else.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: So it's like, did he remember to coach those two years?
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: He just had a better roster. Roster makes a huge
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: difference is what it is is. I believe they're going
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: to be better this year, so fickle Will will be
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: at Wisconsin in my opinion long because I believe this
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: is Belichick's last year.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: It's just been a train wreck. It's it's been abomination.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: I just also don't know how much long you really
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: want to do it, Fickle As they played the top
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: the toughest schedule in FBS a year ago without their start,
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: without a starting quarterback.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: This year, my boy, Colton Joseph's right number one is
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: ready to be mark number one in the market. Will
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: correct on the schedule for sure.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: When we come back halftime, Scott Dolphin will join us
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: from the country station on the Hall FM one.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: I was six. You're in the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: From the little Family of enough Fellas. I can't believe
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: these donuts are still sitting here, still one for you.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: You know there's one or two left in there? Are
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: there two left? There's two left?
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: One on now it's good till tomorrow.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: We were talking about that the shelf life on the
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Glazer and I discount bakery all the time. I go
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: right to that section of the girl. I've always told
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: this story. Billy knowses I go right to that section,
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: but you're not going for the full price. Come on,
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: we've listened to you.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: I tried that one. I try to find the best.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: The discount meat that is the even better one, especially
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: if you're going to do the European style you're cooking
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: at that night there and you see that little grab.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: A good deal. What about in the grab and ghost section?
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Anything but shrimp?
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Right, you got to be smart about it, right, Lobster
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: mac and cheese, is you know, half price today because
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: it's from the weekend.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: It didn't sell over the weekend. Gas station sushi? Yeah,
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: you're rolling the dice on that.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Then you get a.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: Lottery, you get the Maras of Fools gold. You're like, wait,
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: that s oald pack is only a dollar off.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: It's Taylor Farms. I can't get it.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: You know what you want to say from what's your
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: thoughts on shelf life because a lot of times it's
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: confusing because it'll say best buy or expires on.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of different things to read into here.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: That's all right, but you got to know the food
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: and all the situation and know the liability because a
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: lot of these grocery stores have.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: To put that data on it, but it's still safe
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: to eat.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Now, you might there might be something you don't want
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: to take the chance with, you know, like, yeah, things
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: can spoil.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Maybe dairy, you know, tough one that all brings up.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I had the chicken yesterday that was in the pack
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: that was sell by the nine. It was the eleventh.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: That feels like it feels very very close right there
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: on the bot and the ninth and headed in the
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: fridge for two days.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: That's it right, I'm hanging on the fridge. We're all good.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: We left it in there, so we fired that bad
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: boy up. I haven't gotten the full check from it
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: at home, but we'll think people do. I think they
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: throw away stuff that they shouldn't. That's probably still good.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: It's probably more prevalent than people. You know, well, I
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: did that a couple of weeks ago.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: I had a bottle of Worcestershire sauce and it expired
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: a couple months ago, and then I read up on it.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: It's mostly salt and vinegar. They said it'll last another
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: year in your refrigerator.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: But then it's like, are some things worth the risks?
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Say?
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: The nineteen that's the thing. Go through your spice cabinet.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and all that stuff should be. And then
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: because we're idiots, you buy the huge bottles at Costco
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: that you would never use.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: That's ever, it's not going to last forever unless they're
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Caprice Sons or something. You should see the size of
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: the Franks red hot sauce.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: I mean it is this.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: It is like with the handle on it. To this point,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: what I heard you going to do? Is this a
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: handle of vodka? Okay?
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: But then when you go especially in h maybe not
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: the Ta Rats or some of the minor league parks
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: and stuff, are the hot dogs from the last homestand.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Were they already cooked? And then we'll brought back from
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: the last home stand. Like I mean just saying, you
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: never know, the world may never know.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: It's just like how many links it takes to get
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: to the center of a touching pop.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Think about the.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: Brewers, I mean, how much food is left over from
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: a Sunday ball game and.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Then what do you do with this sweets?
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: And alone, Yes, that dessert cart drew in the in
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: the sweets every single night. Brewers had the coach, third
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: base coach back in the day, Doug Manzolino, whose son
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I think is now a manager or was with the Ools.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Doug Manzelino would the postgame spread. He would take all
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: the leftovers almost every night and take him to a
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: homeless shelter. Wow, it's a great packaging them all up
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: because he saw how much was how much food was
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: going to go unused and that they couldn't serve the next.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: Day, and he would take it to a shelter. That's
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: awesome because a lot of times, you know, legally they
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: can't eat it. A lot of it gets dumped.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and this was back when back then they had
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: it was like usually catered from restaurants. Now they have
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: a whole kitchen operation in clubhouses, they have their own
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: chefs and nutritionus.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Then it's a different deal.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: But they used to be catered, like one night it
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: would be says, one night it would be Albaniasis and Walkshop,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: and one next night it would be like you know,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: sometimes it be Chinese from Harvey Moy's or something that
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: was wild.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: The way they used to do it.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: There's an entire subculture in places like New York City
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: where they dumpster dive. After these five Star Michelin restaurants
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: will thrill their stuff out really in these big plastic bags.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: They'll go get it because it's still fresh food and
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: it's high end food. And uh they have banquets. There's
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: like clubs of dumpster divers in places like New York City.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: That's an interesting deal. I don't know if I do that.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: I'm always looking for a value. I'm not sure I'm
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: jumping in garbage cans.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: You you if you grab yourself also on a Wagoo
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: tomahawk and you're like, I think I could do this.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: After the five second.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Rule, George ain't the Claire It was right, And the
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: doily on top of the garbage. See, refuge is refuge.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: It's very hard because, uh, I get it. You know,
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: you don't want to get sick, so you tell yourself
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: is it worth the risk? But then again, you know,
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: some things just lose potency. They don't actually make you sick.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: That's what the expiration date is. Like you talk about
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: spices or certain vegetables. It's not like leaving them too
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: long will get you sick. It's just they'll lose their potency.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: They won't taste as good. But that doesn't mean it's me.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: It's the use of someone's always looking for the cheap alternative.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Got to be able to find ideal. You say, is
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: the date is? You can eat it if you want to.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't eat it, but you can eat it if.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: You can need it.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: What's the shelf life of the cream puffs that are
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: sitting in the fridge. Now, that's where the risk might
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: not be worth it.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: I don't think i'd go there. Cream Dairy.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they've been in there a while. And see we
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: had two different deliveries since I saw that box. Is
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: that from the first time they brought us cream puffs
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: or the time? That's asking myself every time. When they
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: start looking like that fake display dessert that they have
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: under class at certain places, that's when you want to
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: see your field.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: It looks like the display over that is fair. That's
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: a good one. Shout out by the way, uh Doug
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: Manzelino's boy Tony. Tony was the interim manager for for
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: the Orioles last year. He's the bench coach for the
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: Orlanta Braves. There you go, Tony Manslett. I remember when
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: I was a little kid. That's how old I am.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say that little kid's now forty three.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: What a life for for sons or daughters of managers
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: or players. I mean, you live in different cities. Sometimes
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: you have to be in the same place for a
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: long time and then but you're almost like you're in
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: the military, bouncing city.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: You're living around from job to job. College football coaches,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: assistant coaches. Oh ridiculous. That's one of the That's one
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: of the things if you look at Murph and has
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: his boys have grown up now and now being able
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: to sit next to their dad and the press conference,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: They've had a charmed life in terms of coaching kains Milwaukee.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: They've been in Milwaukee the whole time, even into his
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: bench coach days.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: That's a that's a rare situation to be able to have.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's pretty wild. Wait, what was MR's first two
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: year here? I don't even remember.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: It would have been twenty second year of Council's first
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: full year. Wow, he's seventeen. He was in San Diego then,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: and then because he was the interim man in Brom
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: I mean Counts brought him over his I think his
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: first full year because Counts took over mid season and
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: then Counts twenty YEP twenty sixteen was his first year. Heard, yeah,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: it's along the interim manager for the final two months
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: of twenty fifteen.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: That is, that's a long stretch, no question. Back to
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: the food thing.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: What do you trust more food at a ballpark or
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: food at like a county fair, state fair, you know, county.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Fair, church festival. Yeah, county County Fair. Now.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: I know that that might sound that I'm not taking
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: any shot at sports service. That is not what is
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: not what's happening in your arm because I heard you
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: charming in over there from the peanut gallery.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: That is not what this is. Isn't it Levy now
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: or something like this? It might have changed that.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: One of them.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Was it Delaware North For a little while Delaware Delaware
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: was a sports service company.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: The County Fair is simply because you know, the guy
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: that is cooking, especially into that food truck or at
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: the farmer's market is definitely the number one place they
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: wheel a food truck in at a farmer's market. That
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: guy is pumping out straight or girl pumping out straight
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: gas in that truck.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: I agree with it.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: You know, like you go to a Brewers game oftentimes,
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: and again I've never been sickened at a major League
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: baseball game. But oftentimes these are volunteers, right Sometimes they're
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: in there making making your food. You know, the people
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: at the fair, this is their livelihood. This is their
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: little booth, and this is what they do, and they're
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: their cooking. But nothing, at least at the ballpark. Nothing's
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: been sitting out in the sun front.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: No. Things are turned over pretty quick all the time,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: you know. So then I go back and forth. I'm
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: think going to really mess up my nachos. You know,
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: it's not meat. I'm not that worried.
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: You know, I don't need to at the ballpark that often.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: I usually we usually tailgate the liquid. The liquid diet
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: sure break in my food anyway. Well that's that's another item.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, if it's a couple two months past expiration,
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: you can still open that miller light.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: It's probably still gonna be frothy. Even the liquid diet
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: comes with it. Because I remember some of the college bars,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: they never cleaned the beer lines, and that's why you
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: would get it wasn't that we were drinking cheap beer,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: and they would also salty. There were also bars that
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: would sell you a tap Miller highlight for Miller light,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: which wasn't really a Miller highlight for the middle of light.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: They were selling like Bavarian Club or wiper or something.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: The tap pandle said Miller. But it was like a
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: cheap barrel that if I.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: Go to a corner bar, I'm more than not likely
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: to get a bottle of beer because you don't know
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: how clean those lines are and you and you'll be
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: able to tell if you get that picture and you
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: take that first sip and it's oh boy, skunky, and
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: then the next day the effects.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just saying well, that was always like, you know,
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: rest in piece to Haggarty's. That was the market staple
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: bar for a while, no longer, but it was always
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: if you know, you know, don't get don't get a
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: tap there, get a bottle.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: That's what they told you when you were a freshman.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: That's that was like the indoctrination of like and Caffrey's
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: light at one times light.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the place isn't there anymore anyways, I feel bad
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: about that. That's funny. After that it was a Smacker's light.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: That's that.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: That was where you get the dollar picture with your
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Marquete basketball ticket after the game, and the amount of pictures.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: I mean you get a quarterbers. I mean that's what
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: it was for a while, dollar pictures of beer. What
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: would you compare that to dime beer Knight at the ballpark?
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: I guess it would have to be Wow, that was
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: also more. Those were competitive nights, That's what it was.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Once the once the dollar picture came out quarter I
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: think it was quarter beer in Waukesha or not in
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: walk Shot. Osh gosh, that I stumbled upon the one
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: time that was a that was a competitive day.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: You'll still occasionally see dollar beer night at minor league stadium.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Every night every week they have a dollar beer night,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure over at Franklin Field for the.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Milk Yeah, you know in the Milkman and the Dockhounds.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: I think both do those package deals down the lines too,
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: where you can get a forty dollars ticket which include
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: beers and brats or whatever.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh and also features my kid throwing a
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: baseball that very much might hit. Yeah, which apologize, Look,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: how do always apologize? He's got to stay loose just
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: in case he gets the call. Goodness, because it would
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: be way more it would be It's way more fun.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: To watch Dad tried to chase the thing. Oh yeah,
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: it's way more fun than hitting him in the hand.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Derek and Whitewater said they got a store in East
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: Troy where everything's outdated. I got my daughter a case
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: sixty six bags of Miss Vickiy's hallopinio tips for twelve bucks.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Wows are serious things. Let's take a trip out there
• 31:22

  Speaker 4: Of bread, but they had like a pickle barrel full
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: of of fruit pies that were probably right about ready
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: to expire, but they were like a quarter.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: I would stack up on those things.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.

  Speaker 2: We used to walk there and get like boxes of
• 31:47

• 34:14
  Speaker 4: secret stadium sauce. Yeah, and a lot of ballparks have that, right,
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: they have their own signature condiment. I'm sure the Dodger
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: dog has its own signature, but nothing beats stadium sauce.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: It's so popular you can buy it in the store, right, I.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: Was gonna say, and I when when I finally found

  Speaker 2: That was a different day. That was a very exciting day.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Justin and Jacksonville, a bar at Penn State would sell
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: thirty packs of little pack of Little.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: Pony Rolling Rock and rolling Rock. But you had to
• 34:41

• 34:47
  Speaker 3: I remember Rolling Rock Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Yeah, wow, my goodness, doll,
• 34:53

• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Who's hot? Who's not brought to us by Donovan Jorgenson
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Heating and Cooling? You're in the huddle? Fox Sports Radio,
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Wisconsin Gold one stop for advertising timer Who's hot?
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Who's not brought to us by Donovan Jorgenson Heating and Cooling?
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: And I jumped a route because who's not hot is
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Paul Skins?
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Oh goodness, gracious. Five innings not a horrible outing, But
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: velocity is dipped. Is significantly when you're not.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Veilo has arisen and his velocity has dipped and making
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: you wonder what's wrong with Paul Skins. He's going through
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: dead arm pitching the World Baseball Classic. They are three
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: and thirteen in his last sixteen starts.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: I believe. Yikes.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a tough scene, tough numbers for one Paul Skins?
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: What about in the hot category with Tonam and Jorgenson
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: heating and cooling. Caitlin Clark number twenty two puts up
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: twenty two and ten. Last night is the twenty one
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: and twelve Indiana Fever knock off the New York Liberty
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: in a game that everybody was watching, and that's why
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: it is the front page story at ESPN dot com today,
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: all the hot baseball games rolling on. Sadly, PCA stays
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: hot with a homer and the Cubs rattle off another
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: W seventy and fifty. They hit the twenty game over
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: five hundred mark yesterday after they come back against the
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: Nationals and PCA hitting the third deck at Nationals Park
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: a part of it.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: CJ.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: Abrams had a bomb as well. There could have been
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: a Brewer. Maybe maybe not. Maybe that was a pipe
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: dream that we all would have fantasized and dreamed about.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: But how much different win, how much better would their
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: lineup look like with all these injuries If Abrams was
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: sitting over there a shortstop man, what a different beast
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: that would have been.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: He's knocking on one hundred rbi already, I think almost
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: a thousand ops. Even one of the best hitters in
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: baseball this year and understandably so. The Tigers have been
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: decently hot since they traded Terrek School. They win last
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: night as well against the Cleveland Guardians in that battle
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: for the division that nobody wants to win in thecal
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Key in terms of wild card and positioning for sure. Uh,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: you know who else is hot? Whitefish Bay little leaguers.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Let's call.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: Yesterday. I don't remember it, Minnesota, Yeah, and I don't remember.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: I was talking about the Avilli growing up. I never
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: saw one of our teams make it to the League
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: World Series. It would never have never, right, that never happened.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: It wasn't my imagination, even like how baseball has surged
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: here amateur baseball and we're feeding guys into not only
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: the big leagues but the major college programs. Yeah, it
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: stands the reason, like why is there? Why has there
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: never been? Well, maybe it's time now, it's time. They
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: got close to a couple of times recently. But Whitefish Bay.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: It's a good it's a good question, and uh, you know,
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: Vinie Routino might be the one to answer it a
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: little bit on just like how different the travel ball
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: scene would roll into right, like, because it does seem
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: to be in one of the qualifiers. It can't just
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: be the you know whatever, uh wauk A show Blazers
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: or the Wisconsin rock Couns. I don't even know if
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: that's still a team that used to being rock Counds,
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: ask right, like you used to that used to be
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: the one when I was a kid. And and I
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: don't know if those are the ones or if it
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: ends up just being your local Little League All Star
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: team that becomes the travel team.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: But that is a sweet one. You're right.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: There's such good, so many good players coming up, and
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: you know, Stick's Academy hitters and wags and all the
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: work that they've done throughout. There's a lot more training
• 38:19
