4:01
Speaker 3: That's me, That's what it is.
4:02
Speaker 8: Now.
4:02
Speaker 3: That's just the way We're Wired, and yeah, Billy had
4:05
Speaker 3: the lighted up music video of the old Bucks.
4:09
Speaker 9: I did show I did show the youngster the lighted
4:12
Speaker 9: up video because he's he's so into brewers turning up
4:15
Speaker 9: the heat. But I'm like, okay, well now we can
4:18
Speaker 9: really dig in here. He enjoyed Robert Brooks jump into
4:22
Speaker 9: the stands bang, not as much as a mustached guy
4:26
Speaker 9: in the ninety six Super Bowl documentaries Banger.
4:30
Speaker 5: Song, banging in the lambo stands, going.
4:36
Speaker 3: Up and down Lombardi Street.
4:39
Speaker 5: Happy Brooke sleeps into lambo crowd up and down Lombardi Street.
4:44
Speaker 3: Hey, let's do amazing.
4:48
Speaker 9: They die into everything like that. I'm like, hold on,
4:51
Speaker 9: we're not gonna watch the b Milwaukee one right where
4:54
Speaker 9: we skipped over the our Team, our Town era and
4:56
Speaker 9: just went straight to light it up with the green
4:58
Speaker 9: and growing era.
4:59
Speaker 3: What about comes see what's brewing? Come see what's brewing.
5:02
Speaker 9: He was definitely a fan of turning up the heat,
5:05
Speaker 9: though is uh, it might get slept on. Is one
5:08
Speaker 9: of the better songs that you're gonna have. I mean, goodness, gracious,
5:12
Speaker 9: make a sound. It's impressive, the impressive good beats your hands,
5:18
Speaker 9: all these things.
5:18
Speaker 7: A couple odds and ends, just as Luca was generating
5:21
Speaker 7: MVP buzz, he pulled the hammy and is.
5:23
Speaker 3: Gonna have an MRI today. Maybe it wasn't Drew the
5:26
Speaker 3: forty pounds that he was carrying around. Maybe he's just
5:28
Speaker 3: got bad hammies.
5:29
Speaker 7: Yeah, maybe, Uh yeah, it's it's doesn't look positive for him.
5:33
Speaker 7: Uh didn't look positive when they were getting boat race.
5:36
Speaker 7: Brownie James was playing the point.
5:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were. They were getting dump trucked yesterday and
5:40
Speaker 3: didn't look good. Bad look.
5:42
Speaker 9: And for for a Lakers team that everyone's like, whoa
5:45
Speaker 9: hold on? Maybe they can maybe they compete, Maybe they
5:48
Speaker 9: can compete. No, Drew, I still just don't think anybody's
5:51
Speaker 9: touching this Thunder team. No me either, Like I think
5:54
Speaker 9: san Antonio's fun seems like a nice story. Hey, maybe
5:57
Speaker 9: Boston will be really plucky and ended up making it
5:59
Speaker 9: through the East.
6:00
Speaker 3: We're talking about that just the other day.
6:01
Speaker 7: Like if you go with the best run franchises in
6:05
Speaker 7: all pro sports right now, Okay, so he's probably at
6:07
Speaker 7: the top, Yes, yes, case I got the Eagles.
6:11
Speaker 9: Eagles and and and I throw the Seahawks in there.
6:14
Speaker 3: But it's tough. But they're also up for sale. I
6:16
Speaker 3: don't know if that changed at the Dodgers.
6:18
Speaker 5: Dodgers, absolutely, they're well run because they have a lot
6:20
Speaker 5: of money, I get you, right, though they do have
6:23
Speaker 5: some prospects.
6:23
Speaker 3: I'd put the Brewers nar altough the jam.
6:25
Speaker 7: The Brewers are upside. I think the impetus of the
6:27
Speaker 7: conversation start. The Brewers are top five of top ten.
6:30
Speaker 7: Brewis and Packers both both might be top ten. Yeah,
6:33
Speaker 7: the thing I mean, they haven't won a championship into fifteen. Yeah, arman,
6:37
Speaker 7: I'll push back a little bit on the Dodger one. Yes,
6:39
Speaker 7: they have a lot of money. They generate a lot
6:41
Speaker 7: of their own money as well, right, Like.
6:43
Speaker 9: The thought that they just have this huge nest egg
6:45
Speaker 9: and that's the only reason why they have more money. Well,
6:48
Speaker 9: they made savvy moves like going and grabbing the greatest
6:51
Speaker 9: player that's ever played the game and maybe the biggest
6:54
Speaker 9: marketing tool into another kind of untapped market in Asia,
7:00
Speaker 9: which is baseball is massive in They also their talent development.
7:04
Speaker 9: They make incredibly savvy trades, like they they're one of
7:08
Speaker 9: the best building built organizations. Because Friedman's there and he
7:12
Speaker 9: took all that from Tampa Bay.
7:13
Speaker 7: There was always there's always been a thing with the
7:16
Speaker 7: something with the Dodgers, the culture, going back to you
7:18
Speaker 7: know Cofax, like going back to those days, you know
7:21
Speaker 7: Vin Scully. They had that run where they had Rookies
7:25
Speaker 7: of the Year. I mean it was ridiculous. They had
7:29
Speaker 7: Eric Carros, Mike Piazza, Romande, Si Hideo Nomo, Todd Hollands,
7:34
Speaker 7: they were.
7:34
Speaker 3: All those weren't world serious teams, but they did have
7:37
Speaker 3: good years, massive Rookies of the year.
7:39
Speaker 7: They had a stretch with and so they're the development
7:42
Speaker 7: and it's in the water there.
7:44
Speaker 3: It's not just their money.
7:45
Speaker 9: Yeah, the money definitely helps help, right, definitely helps.
7:48
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that that's not like but.
7:51
Speaker 7: You hear Matt Leffleur saying, hey, guys weren't happy with
7:53
Speaker 7: their roles. When you ever hear that with the Dodgers,
7:55
Speaker 7: you don't. And that's why Dave Roberts should get more
7:56
Speaker 7: credit than he does, because yes, he has the greatest
7:59
Speaker 7: you know, lineup arguably ever assembled for one team, but
8:02
Speaker 7: he also keeps everybody happy and productive, and you don't
8:05
Speaker 7: hear a lot of squawking. Again, I don't winning is
8:07
Speaker 7: the best deodor it, but still they show up and
8:10
Speaker 7: play hard and when there's all those distractions of being
8:13
Speaker 7: in LA and they you know.
8:14
Speaker 9: Yeah, and they do seem to also have a h
8:17
Speaker 9: an ability to all get along very very well.
8:20
Speaker 3: That that many egos.
8:22
Speaker 9: There's a reason why there were so many hot rumors
8:24
Speaker 9: about when Freddy Freeman left Atlanta.
8:25
Speaker 3: Right like the early deal and then the friendship. Are
8:28
Speaker 3: the Celtics who play the Bucks tonight? Are they in
8:30
Speaker 3: that mix?
8:30
Speaker 5: I like.
8:32
Speaker 7: This season they've had the tumult that and they overcame
8:35
Speaker 7: that whole hiccup with the head coach thing.
8:37
Speaker 5: And Jaylen pivoted that one joke the other day about
8:40
Speaker 5: how it's not been a bad gap year for them
8:42
Speaker 5: because people were saying it's going to be a game year,
8:44
Speaker 5: so they might come out of the East.
8:45
Speaker 3: We'll see. I mean, there's there's a lot of those
8:47
Speaker 3: interesting yea interesting stuff, all right.
8:49
Speaker 7: We mentioned Burrs playing on Apple TV tonight against the Royals,
8:52
Speaker 7: weather permitting, they're gonna have some rough I think. But

Speaker 8: the Brewers game, of Mike goes and my people sign me.
9:42
Speaker 4: Up, well, thank you so much.
9:44
Speaker 6: We appreciate it, and we are a fan of yours
9:47
Speaker 6: as well. I know, going back to your days at
9:50
Speaker 6: Wbay in Green Bay.
9:52
Speaker 4: We'll get to that in a moment.
9:53
Speaker 6: I want to ask a couple before we get to
9:55
Speaker 6: Brewers and Royals and this baseball season. A couple different
9:58
Speaker 6: questions I have for you. One is congratulations to your
10:01
Speaker 6: Indiana Hoosiers. I know it's like two years, but still,
10:03
Speaker 6: you know, I have to give you a congratulation.
10:06
Speaker 4: What was that like?
10:07
Speaker 6: I know a lot of people would love to see
10:08
Speaker 6: the Badgers do that here in the state. What was
10:11
Speaker 6: that experience like? Just going through that entire run this season?
10:14
Speaker 8: I literally like every day I would wake up and
10:17
Speaker 8: I'd be like, is this real?
10:19
Speaker 10: Like are we allowed to have nice things? You know
10:22
Speaker 10: what I mean?
10:23
Speaker 8: Like because historically I didn't just go to AYU. I
10:26
Speaker 8: don't just teach it IU. I grew up in Bloomington,
10:29
Speaker 8: so like I watched that team since I was eight
10:32
Speaker 8: years old with my dad. And then my first job
10:34
Speaker 8: as a student reporter in college was covering the AU
10:37
Speaker 8: football team. They went one and eleven, one and eleven.
10:41
Speaker 8: It was horrible, and every year we'd be like, yeah,
10:45
Speaker 8: it's gonna be better this year, Like it never was.
10:49
Speaker 8: And so then when significant, I mean I could go
10:52
Speaker 8: on forever and I won't, but like it was just
10:54
Speaker 8: like I was like, I can't believe that this is
10:57
Speaker 8: my life. And like every time they won in the playoffs,
11:01
Speaker 8: when they won the Big Ten championship, when they won
11:03
Speaker 8: the Rose Bow, when they won the Peach Bowl, which
11:04
Speaker 8: I was there for every single one, When they won
11:06
Speaker 8: the Natty, I cried every single time, Like were you
11:09
Speaker 8: do how it goes out?
11:10
Speaker 10: Working in sports.
11:11
Speaker 8: Kind of change you a little bit, like you just
11:13
Speaker 8: like you know, you don't get as like emotional about
11:16
Speaker 8: things you don't but like.
11:19
Speaker 10: I was a kid again, it was a mess.
11:21
Speaker 6: Yes, that's just an amazing experience, and that's just that's
11:24
Speaker 6: the height of sports fandom.
11:26
Speaker 4: I feel like it's just it is that it's.
11:28
Speaker 6: Going from the bottom and realizing going through those days.
11:31
Speaker 6: And I know people here in Wisconsin talk a lot
11:33
Speaker 6: about I didn't experience it, but talk a lot about
11:35
Speaker 6: the eighties and how bad the Packers were and then
11:37
Speaker 6: they got back to relevance and then they've obviously had
11:40
Speaker 6: a lot of success in the last thirty years with
11:41
Speaker 6: the quarterback situation. But like that is that type of
11:45
Speaker 6: thing where you're from the bottom and then you go up.
11:47
Speaker 4: So I had to ask you about that, and then also.
11:51
Speaker 6: Absolutely absolutely, because I know it's not just something that
11:54
Speaker 6: you know, they win the national championship and you're not
11:56
Speaker 6: not thinking about it for the next years.
12:00
Speaker 8: Personality for the rest of my life. Like I'm gonna
12:02
Speaker 8: be insufferable for the rest of my life about this.
12:04
Speaker 10: That's just the rule.
12:06
Speaker 4: As you should be, as you should be.
12:08
Speaker 6: And then, so, speaking of the Packers, you were in
12:10
Speaker 6: Green Bay for a couple of years. What was a
12:12
Speaker 6: favorite memory or two you have of covering the teams
12:16
Speaker 6: in Wisconsin?
12:17
Speaker 8: Oh, my gosh, I would I tell people all the
12:20
Speaker 8: time when I talk about my career path how grateful
12:23
Speaker 8: I am to have started in a market like Green Bay.
12:25
Speaker 8: And I swear to God that's not me like pandering
12:27
Speaker 8: to your audience or whatever.
12:29
Speaker 10: Truly, I truly am.
12:30
Speaker 8: So I'm from the Midwest obviously, so I love my
12:32
Speaker 8: Midwest people all that stuff.
12:34
Speaker 10: But the people in Green Bay, Wisconsin were so kind
12:36
Speaker 10: to me. I was like twenty three years old. I
12:38
Speaker 10: didn't really know what I was doing.
12:39
Speaker 8: I had a heart for storytelling, you know, and I
12:42
Speaker 8: had the best boss in the world, Chris Roth. He
12:44
Speaker 8: was the sports director at the time. I believe he's
12:46
Speaker 8: still there. But he was so patient with me. Like,
12:52
Speaker 8: you know, I learned, I learned, and I loved covering
12:56
Speaker 8: the Packers. Gosh, Like, what a cool first job, because
12:59
Speaker 8: like I mean, I don't even know I'm preaching at
13:01
Speaker 8: the choir here, but like it was cool to see
13:04
Speaker 8: how the town would shut down and like the state
13:06
Speaker 8: would basically shut down on game day. I mean it
13:09
Speaker 8: meant that much to everybody. And when I covered the Packers,
13:12
Speaker 8: it was my first day on the job, a kid,
13:14
Speaker 8: you not. Was in San Francisco, the forty nine Ers
13:17
Speaker 8: and the Packers were playing in the playoffs at the
13:20
Speaker 8: old Candlestick Park, and that was when Colin Kaepernick ran
13:23
Speaker 8: all over them.
13:24
Speaker 4: Yes, yep, it was like.
13:26
Speaker 10: Calling Copernick game.
13:28
Speaker 8: That was my first day on the job. That was
13:30
Speaker 8: my first day doing live television. Yeah, I was hosting
13:34
Speaker 8: the with Chris Roth, doing live television for the first
13:38
Speaker 8: time ever. Yeah, And we were on the field at Candlestick,
13:41
Speaker 8: and like I had to go in the locker room afterwards,
13:43
Speaker 8: and I'm interviewing like, you know, Aaron Rodgers, I think
13:46
Speaker 8: Jordan Nelson at the time.
13:48
Speaker 10: Like all those guys. Yeah, So I've I.
13:51
Speaker 8: Am so grateful for the people of Green Bay, Wisconsin
13:53
Speaker 8: and for that team for being so kind and patient
13:56
Speaker 8: with a young reporter.
13:59
Speaker 6: Did you how much did you get down to Milwaukee
14:01
Speaker 6: to cover the Bruers? Because obviously now baseball is your thing.
14:04
Speaker 6: But did you was that kind of your first, uh
14:06
Speaker 6: first experience there with covering baseball a little bit?
14:09
Speaker 8: Yes, the Brewers were the first major league team I
14:12
Speaker 8: ever covered.
14:13
Speaker 10: I remember going on Opening Day and.
14:16
Speaker 8: Like, I mean again, I was so young, so new
14:18
Speaker 8: to everything, and the team could not have been nicer.
14:22
Speaker 8: And I I and I also, but it wasn't the
14:26
Speaker 8: Brewers that I covered the most.
14:28
Speaker 10: It was oh my gosh, what were they? The timmer Ratlers,
14:32
Speaker 10: The Timber Ratlers.
14:33
Speaker 4: Yes, yep, yep.
14:34
Speaker 8: Covered the Timber Ratlers all the time. I would go
14:37
Speaker 8: and shoot their games all the time. And I would
14:41
Speaker 8: also go shoot uw Ashcosh games and I remember I'm
14:44
Speaker 8: like drudging around and like you know, the snow and
14:46
Speaker 8: stuff in March, and I'm like, this game's not gonna happen.
14:49
Speaker 10: I'd sit there for hours waiting for them to play.
14:51
Speaker 8: But yeah, the Brewers were the first major league team
14:54
Speaker 8: I ever covered. So like when the whole rocket pancake
14:57
Speaker 8: thing happened, it was really cool for me because it
15:00
Speaker 8: was like all my friends that I worked with in
15:02
Speaker 8: Green Bay and in Milwaukee, they were like trash.
15:05
Speaker 10: We remember when you were twenty three and didn't know
15:07
Speaker 10: what you were doing.
15:08
Speaker 6: That's great. Oh that's fantastic. Yeah, full circle, one hundred percent.
15:13
Speaker 4: That is awesome.
15:14
Speaker 6: Tricia Whitaker joining us here from Apple TV. She'll be
15:17
Speaker 6: the sideline reporter tonight for Brewers and Royals on Apple TV.
15:20
Speaker 6: So I wanted to ask you too about your experience
15:23
Speaker 6: at the World Baseball Classic because I saw you were
15:25
Speaker 6: there and that just seemed exceptional and like, just I
15:30
Speaker 6: guess for those who were watching it on TV here,
15:33
Speaker 6: just what was that? Just describe a little bit about
15:36
Speaker 6: what that experience is like, because it's you know, we've
15:38
Speaker 6: experienced playoff games, lucky enough here in Milwaukee to experience that,
15:41
Speaker 6: but that just seems like a different level there in Miami.
15:45
Speaker 8: Let me tell you, it's unlike anything I had ever
15:47
Speaker 8: experienced in my life, Like not just like in the
15:51
Speaker 8: realm of like covering sports, but like in my life.
15:54
Speaker 8: Like it was a melting pot of cultures and it
15:57
Speaker 8: was so cool to see the passion from teams like
16:02
Speaker 8: the Dominican Republican their fans from Venezuela and their fans.
16:05
Speaker 8: I've never seen anything like that before. They're like dancing
16:09
Speaker 8: in the concourse for hours before the game and hours
16:12
Speaker 8: after the game, and the players are the Venezuelan they're
16:15
Speaker 8: like they're like dancing in the dugout before their game
16:18
Speaker 8: and like I will never forget when Venezuela won, and
16:22
Speaker 8: you see au Haaneo Suarez kneeling on the field with
16:24
Speaker 8: the flag draped around his neck or around his shoulders.
16:27
Speaker 8: You see Salvador Perez just like in tears and just
16:30
Speaker 8: like so emotional that they just and not to mention
16:35
Speaker 8: obviously we all know what's happened with Venezuela.
16:37
Speaker 10: This tier is a country for them.
16:41
Speaker 8: It meant so much because it's their country and it's
16:43
Speaker 8: the World Baseball Classic, but I think it meant more
16:45
Speaker 8: to them after what their country's been through this year,
16:47
Speaker 8: and it was I was just so like it sounds
16:52
Speaker 8: I'm not even trying to be like condescending or something like,
16:54
Speaker 8: I was very proud of like those guys, like the
16:57
Speaker 8: major league guys played for Venezuela and played for the
17:00
Speaker 8: Dominican Republic because they like showed the world their passion
17:04
Speaker 8: unapologetically and their cultures and they were.
17:07
Speaker 10: Like, this is why we love this game.
17:10
Speaker 8: And I think it was really good for the game,
17:12
Speaker 8: and you know, Pat McAfee and his show, they were
17:14
Speaker 8: out there and they were really pumping Team USA and
17:16
Speaker 8: the WBC, and it really was so cool to see
17:20
Speaker 8: like baseball on a stage like that, you know, because
17:23
Speaker 8: the thing with baseball is everybody's like it's boring. Okay,
17:26
Speaker 8: it's not not for me.
17:27
Speaker 10: But when you watch them when it's not. But when
17:30
Speaker 10: you watch those.
17:31
Speaker 8: Guys play, and people are watching those guys play who
17:33
Speaker 8: like they're the baseball is boring crowd, you can't tell me.
17:36
Speaker 8: You can't tell me that anymore. After watching Team Venezuela
17:39
Speaker 8: and Team.
17:39
Speaker 10: Dr you get you can't.
17:42
Speaker 4: No, I think it should.
17:43
Speaker 6: I think it gave me, and I think probably a
17:45
Speaker 6: lot of other people, you know, just a deeper appreciation
17:47
Speaker 6: for the players that they cheer for on their team,
17:50
Speaker 6: that were on that that Venezuela team in Milwaukee. It's
17:53
Speaker 6: it's a Jackson Curio, right, It's a William Contrere's, it's
17:56
Speaker 6: these type of on hillsat like, these types of players
17:59
Speaker 6: who were on that team, and now they see them
18:01
Speaker 6: come back home and the passion that they come from
18:04
Speaker 6: I think was great.
18:05
Speaker 4: Not only for that.
18:06
Speaker 6: Obviously, Team USA made a run in it, but also
18:08
Speaker 6: just seeing their players also on that stage.
18:12
Speaker 4: Two.
18:12
Speaker 10: So yes, yes, it's great.
18:15
Speaker 6: So I want to ask you about a couple of
18:18
Speaker 6: specific brewers questions they play obviously against the Royals here
18:21
Speaker 6: on Apple TV. First, like you mentioned the pocket pancake
18:25
Speaker 6: thing went viral last year, but Pat Murphy specifically, like,
18:29
Speaker 6: what what do you think allows him to just you've
18:32
Speaker 6: obviously interviewed a lot of managers and go throughout baseball
18:35
Speaker 6: during the season. What allows him to connect with his
18:37
Speaker 6: players so much?
18:38
Speaker 4: So well?
18:39
Speaker 8: I honestly think and you know, obviously I can't, like
18:42
Speaker 8: I'm not sitting here trying to speak for like every
18:45
Speaker 8: single player and tell you everything that they think. But like,
18:48
Speaker 8: for the most part, at least, what I hear and
18:50
Speaker 8: what I see is like almost this like tough love
18:54
Speaker 8: mentality that he has with his players, right, so, like
18:57
Speaker 8: he is the first one to be honest with them,
18:59
Speaker 8: but he's also the first one to support them, you
19:01
Speaker 8: know what I mean. And it's kind of like he'll
19:04
Speaker 8: he'll be sitting there in an interview and he'll be like, yeah,
19:06
Speaker 8: he needs to get better and he knows that. He
19:08
Speaker 8: knows that, And we've had those conversations and he will
19:10
Speaker 8: he will get better.
19:11
Speaker 10: Right, you know what I mean?
19:12
Speaker 8: And I think he earns their guy doing things like
19:15
Speaker 8: that by being honest, by not not sugarcoating, right, and
19:20
Speaker 8: but also supporting and genuinely caring about people. And that's
19:25
Speaker 8: what you get from Pat is that he genuinely cares.
19:29
Speaker 8: Obviously also aside from like that type of thing, the
19:32
Speaker 8: fundamentals that they preach with the Brewers, that's just kind
19:35
Speaker 8: of their bread and butter, right, and he really he
19:39
Speaker 8: embraces that. And then he also embraces kind of that
19:41
Speaker 8: like average Joe's mentality, and he gets buy.
19:44
Speaker 10: In from his players.
19:45
Speaker 8: And I know by in is one of those like
19:47
Speaker 8: cliche throw around words that we hear in sports a lot.
19:50
Speaker 8: But like if you think that buy in doesn't matter,
19:54
Speaker 8: you're not. You haven't you haven't pay attention to sports.
19:57
Speaker 8: And I think Pat has the ability to get people
19:59
Speaker 8: to buy in. The players in the clubhouse, so I
20:01
Speaker 8: think they respect him, but they also like him, right,
20:05
Speaker 8: And those two things are very hard to like as
20:07
Speaker 8: a manager and a leader, to both be respected and
20:11
Speaker 8: very very well liked, that's difficult to do, and he
20:13
Speaker 8: does it.
20:14
Speaker 4: You talk about the buy in part.
20:16
Speaker 6: I cover the Brewers for our station here and over
20:18
Speaker 6: just the last week, thinking back at these first six games,
20:22
Speaker 6: how many times his players said, this is what we do,
20:25
Speaker 6: talking about the stolen bases, getting their walks long at bats.
20:30
Speaker 6: They just know their identity so well now heading into
20:33
Speaker 6: the third year of him, and I think it shows
20:35
Speaker 6: with their five and one record to start the season,
20:37
Speaker 6: that's just who they are and they take that on
20:39
Speaker 6: of Pat Murphy. And I wanted to ask you about
20:41
Speaker 6: the outside kind of the national perspective of the Brewers
20:44
Speaker 6: because obviously here big fans of Pat Murphy, big fan
20:47
Speaker 6: of what the success of the Brewers over the last
20:50
Speaker 6: really decade or so. And they always, you know, there's
20:53
Speaker 6: always the questions asked at the beginning of the season,
20:55
Speaker 6: like to Matt Arnold the GM or Pat Murphy, like,
20:59
Speaker 6: why do you guys think the national media, you know,
21:03
Speaker 6: maybe underestimates you? Right, those questions always come up, But
21:06
Speaker 6: I think the perception is starting to grow and grow
21:09
Speaker 6: around baseball. What is your view of that part of
21:13
Speaker 6: how the Brewers are perceived.
21:15
Speaker 10: I think it's two things.
21:16
Speaker 8: I don't think people are underestimating the Brewers necessarily anymore. Right, Like,
21:20
Speaker 8: I mean, you might have some media members being like, yeah,
21:22
Speaker 8: they're not gonna be as good this year, okay, But
21:24
Speaker 8: I don't think anybody would look at the Brewers and think, nationally,
21:27
Speaker 8: I mean, and think we're gonna underestimate them.
21:29
Speaker 10: I think they learned no lesson with that.
21:31
Speaker 8: Do I think that they will always have that small market,
21:33
Speaker 8: average Joe's type of thing associated with them one d percent?
21:37
Speaker 10: But like fine, like cool, do it underestimate right? Call
21:41
Speaker 10: us the average Joe's.
21:41
Speaker 8: Because they are and they are a small market and
21:44
Speaker 8: there are things that come with being a small market team.
21:47
Speaker 8: They're not the most fun, but there are also elements
21:50
Speaker 8: of it that are right. I remember when they were
21:52
Speaker 8: making the postseason run. I mean, people were like, oh,
21:55
Speaker 8: I'm sure for the Brewers, and I'm like why, They're like,
21:57
Speaker 8: you're not from Wisconsin, and they're like, well, because they're
22:00
Speaker 8: endearing their average Joes and there's all markets and there's
22:03
Speaker 8: the benefit of being a small market team.
22:05
Speaker 10: Nationally, I mean you know what I mean, Like, people
22:07
Speaker 10: are like, oh, no, I like them.
22:08
Speaker 8: I like them, right, But I think I don't I honestly, nationally,
22:14
Speaker 8: at least from my perspective, I don't think people underestimate
22:17
Speaker 8: them at all. Do they have varying opinions on how
22:19
Speaker 8: they're going to be as good this year as they
22:20
Speaker 8: were last year? Sure, but you know, after Pat one
22:23
Speaker 8: Manager of the Year and all that, Like, I don't
22:24
Speaker 8: think anybody is looking at the Brewers and saying and
22:26
Speaker 8: what they did in the postseason. I know it didn't
22:28
Speaker 8: end up the way they wanted to, but I don't
22:31
Speaker 8: think at least I have not heard people being like, yeah,
22:34
Speaker 8: they're they're really not going to be good this year
22:36
Speaker 8: and we don't think they're a big threat. I think
22:38
Speaker 8: that narrative.
22:39
Speaker 6: Has changed, yeah, for sure, and especially with the success
22:43
Speaker 6: three straight division titles now, which is wild to think about.
22:47
Speaker 6: And we'll see what happens this year. Brewers and Royals
22:49
Speaker 6: on Apple TV. One last question for you, it's a
22:52
Speaker 6: broadcasting question when it comes to the mid game interviews.
22:56
Speaker 4: How do you like that as a reporter?
22:59
Speaker 6: I know that has honestly become more popular in every
23:02
Speaker 6: sport really than it was, say ten years ago.
23:05
Speaker 4: How do you like that? How do you navigate that?
23:08
Speaker 6: Because obviously they're in their competitive mode and write a
23:11
Speaker 6: rock and roll I mean, Pat Murphy may have his
23:13
Speaker 6: pancakes in hand, but otherwise other managers might be a
23:16
Speaker 6: little different. But what yeah, what's your perspective on doing that?
23:19
Speaker 6: And how do you go about that?
23:21
Speaker 10: Each manager is different, Each manager is different, and you know,
23:24
Speaker 10: the managers.
23:25
Speaker 8: That will play ball with you with questions pat will
23:27
Speaker 8: do it right unless they're down, like.
23:30
Speaker 10: You know, five nothing or something. I have to feel
23:33
Speaker 10: the moment, right.
23:33
Speaker 8: But I know that that's kind of a hot topic
23:36
Speaker 8: right now, especially with the NCAA tournament.
23:38
Speaker 10: Sometimes people are like, what are these in game interviews?
23:40
Speaker 10: We don't want them, They're annoying. That's not true. When
23:43
Speaker 10: you have a good sideliner reporter, those in game interviews
23:45
Speaker 10: are phenomenal.
23:47
Speaker 8: I mean, how many viral moments did we get from
23:49
Speaker 8: the tournament from the in game sideline reporter interviews from
23:53
Speaker 8: Laurence Shahati or Andy Katz.
23:55
Speaker 10: Or whoever it was.
23:56
Speaker 8: When you have a good sideline reporter who knows how
23:59
Speaker 8: to feel the moment, knows what questions to ask, and
24:02
Speaker 8: knows how to not make it so generic, then they're
24:04
Speaker 8: really good. Okay, So like the pocket pancake moment never
24:07
Speaker 8: would have happened, and the reason why the pocket pancake
24:10
Speaker 8: moment was so cool was because it happened during the game, right,
24:15
Speaker 8: he was eating a pancake.
24:17
Speaker 10: During the game.
24:17
Speaker 8: Okay, So like when I go up to the manager,
24:20
Speaker 8: sometimes nothing has happened in the game, right, it's it's
24:23
Speaker 8: zero zero. You know, maybe both pictures are dealing, so
24:26
Speaker 8: you might be able to slip in a question about
24:28
Speaker 8: the picture, but then you got to really.
24:29
Speaker 10: Reach for something.
24:30
Speaker 8: So like last week, I think it was the Angels,
24:34
Speaker 8: the Suzuki got his first and made his first win
24:38
Speaker 8: as a manager. Right, So during the manager interview, I
24:41
Speaker 8: asked him about that. That's a good in game topic
24:43
Speaker 8: when the Angels are, you know, early in the game
24:45
Speaker 8: and they're doing well, they're winning, right, So he's like, yeah,
24:47
Speaker 8: the guys get through showers. Last night, Mike Trout told
24:50
Speaker 8: me I had to go in there.
24:51
Speaker 10: Blah blah blah blah. Good stuff.
24:53
Speaker 8: So my policy with the in game interviews is like
24:56
Speaker 8: you kind of ask one game question and then you
24:58
Speaker 8: ask one fun question. So one of the things I'm
25:01
Speaker 8: gonna ask John Schneider this year if we have the
25:03
Speaker 8: Blue Jays in the in game interview, is like, hey,
25:06
Speaker 8: your son approves the lineup every single game, doesn't he
25:09
Speaker 8: and what did he approve about this lineup today? Did
25:12
Speaker 8: he think you needed to move this guy to the
25:13
Speaker 8: cleanups or whatever?
25:14
Speaker 10: It is?
25:15
Speaker 8: So like, that's kind of my policy with in game
25:17
Speaker 8: interviews because otherwise they can be meetingless if you don't
25:20
Speaker 8: ask the right questions, but if you do, they're actually
25:23
Speaker 8: so entertaining and you never know.
25:24
Speaker 10: A manager might full pocket a pancake out of his.
25:26
Speaker 4: Pocket totally, you never know.
25:29
Speaker 6: And definitely what if you're watching at home, watch that
25:31
Speaker 6: tonight on Apple TV and see which one c you
25:34
Speaker 6: can guess which one is the fun question and which
25:36
Speaker 6: one is the you know, the in game question as
25:39
Speaker 6: well tonight when you're watching the Apple TV broadcast six
25:41
Speaker 6: forty five first Pitch, Brewers and Royals tonight, Tricia, really
25:45
Speaker 6: appreciate your time and always enjoy talking to you and

27:45
Speaker 3: You saw Shannon Quinn rolling through here.
27:47
Speaker 1: Who's Hot Who's Not?
27:48
Speaker 9: Is one of our favorite times to be able to
27:50
Speaker 9: discuss how impressive the Milwaukee Brewers have been and also
27:54
Speaker 9: potentially how good they've been at the talent evaluation two
27:59
Speaker 9: for third three the law firm of Collins, Monasterio and
28:04
Speaker 9: Durban after the Brewers moved off of Isaac Collins, Caleb
28:07
Speaker 9: Durban and Andrew Monasterio during the offseason in different trades. However, guys,
28:12
Speaker 9: this one comes my part of Who's Hot Who's Not? Surprisingly,
28:19
Speaker 9: I know you're stunned by this. I track the investments
28:22
Speaker 9: quite a bit and see how a lot of different
28:25
Speaker 9: winners are rolling through and different. You know, home run
28:28
Speaker 9: parlays are generally my favorite to enjoy. There have been
28:33
Speaker 9: a couple of folks as people like to say that
28:36
Speaker 9: are selling on your home run parlays no one more
28:40
Speaker 9: than one show Hey Otani. Now hard to say that.
28:45
Speaker 9: Shoe hay Atani, maybe the best baseball player that ever lived,
28:48
Speaker 9: is in the not hot variety on Who's Hot Who's Not. However,
28:53
Speaker 9: he does not have a home run yet this season,
28:56
Speaker 9: and reportedly by some institutions, nearly a half a million
29:02
Speaker 9: dollars has been lost in wagers on show Hao Tony
29:06
Speaker 9: through various different sports across the country over the first
29:12
Speaker 9: week of the season. And while show Hey still is
29:17
Speaker 9: one and one, hasn't given up an earned run in
29:20
Speaker 9: his big start that he had and also struck out
29:22
Speaker 9: six uh. Show Hey has also not been able to
29:25
Speaker 9: go yard yet, has a couple of hits, has struck
29:27
Speaker 9: out in a number of different games as well. However,
29:30
Speaker 9: I don't think anybody's worried about the long term production value.
29:33
Speaker 9: But these sportsbooks are loving show Hayo Tani even more
29:37
Speaker 9: now than ever before.
29:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know how that goes with the gamblers.
29:41
Speaker 5: He's got some home runs coming, Martin Gale, I mean,
29:45
Speaker 5: I know how that goes, but I mean, hey, there's
29:47
Speaker 5: always risk involved, right, I mean, no, no, no outcome
29:50
Speaker 5: or no performance is linear. You can never guarantee even
29:53
Speaker 5: if with a guy like show, he's gonna have a
29:54
Speaker 5: cold slut and he and he's pitching now, So I
29:56
Speaker 5: wonder if they're gonna start thinking. I wonder if that
29:58
Speaker 5: has anything to do with it has something to do
29:59
Speaker 5: with it. So there you go. How about that over
30:02
Speaker 5: a half a million dollars forty.
30:04
Speaker 9: Two thousand bets they set across all different platforms over
30:09
Speaker 9: the first week for shoo Tani to hit a home run.
30:12
Speaker 3: Just imagine you introducing your friend.
30:14
Speaker 9: Listen, this guy is the best player that's ever walked
30:16
Speaker 9: the face of the earth. Yeah, he's for sure gonna
30:18
Speaker 9: hit a dinger in today. Okay, well that's a tough
30:21
Speaker 9: sell if that's gonna be your first investment into a
30:23
Speaker 9: into a sport.
30:24
Speaker 7: Best to hit a home run much less two let
30:26
Speaker 7: alone do it. But my man is just gouging this
30:30
Speaker 7: cash for the sports. Well, and I don't know how
30:33
Speaker 7: much from the interpreter. I mean, that's that's part of
30:35
Speaker 7: the pay. Now, that was where all of the comments section.
30:40
Speaker 7: I know you're stuck by roll too. Right after this
30:42
Speaker 7: one as well, who's hot? Who's not Donovan Jorgenson, who's
30:47
Speaker 7: not what we got? Caleb Durbin, who's not?
30:49
Speaker 3: Yes? Who for dude?
30:52
Speaker 9: Two for thirty three with all of those guys in
30:53
Speaker 9: Caleb Durban yet to get a hit, Caleb Isaac and
30:56
Speaker 9: Andrew Monasterio.
30:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, two for thirty three.
30:58
Speaker 9: The guys of Brewers got rid of one one sports
31:01
Speaker 9: radio station in Boston. I heard a clip that they
31:05
Speaker 9: were rolling around of Caleb Durbin just saying, there's no
31:07
Speaker 9: ceiling with this player.
31:09
Speaker 3: No ceiling.
31:10
Speaker 9: Now I hear there's no ceiling. Holy cow, this guy
31:13
Speaker 9: might be a generational player, infinite potential. I'm thinking, well,
31:16
Speaker 9: he's got he goes No, what is this four A?
31:19
Speaker 9: The most four A player that I've ever seen. You
31:22
Speaker 9: can take it from the Brewers, who all they do
31:24
Speaker 9: is make more out of less and and you trade
31:27
Speaker 9: multiple guys for this just one weekend. The overreactions on
31:32
Speaker 9: Caleb Durbin's ten year in Boston are.
31:35
Speaker 3: Very very low. On the totem pole.
31:37
Speaker 9: One other one on the Who's not variety drew somebody
31:40
Speaker 9: that the Brewers might see this weekend. Your boy, Carter
31:44
Speaker 9: Jensen was scratched from the lineup yesterday.
31:48
Speaker 3: He won the Matt Harvey Award for over.
31:51
Speaker 9: Second Yeah yeah, and made Salvador Perez go from dhing
31:56
Speaker 9: to being behind the dish out of the line up
32:00
Speaker 9: for the Royals. Vinnie Pascentino talked about it, said, great
32:03
Speaker 9: teaching moment, but they were calling his parents to try.
32:06
Speaker 3: To figure out if he was okay, figure out where
32:08
Speaker 3: he was.
32:09
Speaker 9: My man's like, sorry, I just slept through my alarm.
32:11
Speaker 9: I apologize. That's a tough lesson to learn, especially as
32:15
Speaker 9: publicly as my man Carter Jensen is catching it right.
32:18
Speaker 4: It really is.
32:18
Speaker 5: And that's the old jug I mean, Brett Farvey's just
32:20
Speaker 5: say stuff like that, sleeping through your alarm. Alote is
32:22
Speaker 5: relatable in that moment, and Drew brought back a great
32:25
Speaker 5: memory to Matt Harvey. One of the first things average
32:28
Speaker 5: Drew and Radio was dressing.
32:30
Speaker 7: Up Jamita of our stunts ten years ago. We had
32:32
Speaker 7: a whole bunch of people go dressed in pajamas and
32:34
Speaker 7: bathrobes and the Matt Harvey returned from suspension.
32:37
Speaker 3: Start. Oh, it was awesome. I remember like the Mets
32:40
Speaker 3: like the fan.
32:41
Speaker 7: I think whoever has the Mets broadcast rights, they reached
32:44
Speaker 7: out and their guy wanted to have me on and
32:45
Speaker 7: they were gonna grill me and like, why are you
32:47
Speaker 7: guys making fun of Matt Harvey. And I'm like, we're
32:48
Speaker 7: not making fun, We're applauding him. There isn't a person
32:52
Speaker 7: in Wisconsin who hasn't missed the day of work for
32:55
Speaker 7: being hungover. Yeah, and like we want him to pitch
32:57
Speaker 7: for the Brewers. We hope the Brewers acquire him because
33:00
Speaker 7: I'll be fitting right. He'll fit right in with us,
33:02
Speaker 7: He'll fit right in. And so when I went that
33:04
Speaker 7: direction with it, it was like they thought I was
33:07
Speaker 7: like just trolling and sure posting they want to. We
33:10
Speaker 7: had a good time. We had I don't know. We
33:12
Speaker 7: had a couple dozen people show up.
33:13
Speaker 3: It was awesome.
33:14
Speaker 7: Sport Center was there. Squeeze and Missus Squeeze were there.
33:16
Speaker 7: We had a great time.
33:17
Speaker 3: And I'll say one thing.
33:18
Speaker 5: Ever since then, I've asked myself, you know, why don't
33:21
Speaker 5: I go to a Brewers game and a bathroom more?
33:23
Speaker 3: That was the comfortable experience.
33:24
Speaker 8: Man.
33:25
Speaker 7: They were told not to show us on TV, but
33:27
Speaker 7: they couldn't help it. When a home run was hit,
33:29
Speaker 7: right and Billy, here's one for you. I thought I
33:33
Speaker 7: didn't go through and do any like, you know, deals
33:35
Speaker 7: like noon or day or anything. I just bought a
33:37
Speaker 7: bunch of tickets and.
33:39
Speaker 3: Let's go, what's have fun here. I got a bunch
33:42
Speaker 3: of tickets people, if anybody.
33:43
Speaker 9: Wanted to come, I was like, yeah, come on, awesome. Yeah,
33:46
Speaker 9: that was hilarious. That might have to be a brunch
33:48
Speaker 9: with the brewers deal for us to huddle up in it.
33:50
Speaker 7: Oh, let's huddle up. I like that the other day game,
33:52
Speaker 7: especially the twelve forty start. Uh huh, yeah, huddle up.
33:56
Speaker 3: I let you in that way, as long as you
33:57
Speaker 3: wear like regular clothes underneath, you know.
34:00
Speaker 9: See.
34:00
Speaker 3: But I like this a lot better.
34:01
Speaker 9: The one time I went to the bar in a bathrobe,
34:03
Speaker 9: I got questioned by the owner and asking if I.
34:05
Speaker 3: Was okay, Well, what bar do you go to that's
34:07
Speaker 3: in huts?
34:08
Speaker 7: Well it's fair, I say club four hundred open in
34:10
Speaker 7: the in the in the mornings or.
34:11
Speaker 3: What it was? Close it with a salty toad.
34:14
Speaker 9: But when when you when you go that hard and
34:16
Speaker 9: whiffleball and you don't have any clothes, what else are
34:19
Speaker 9: you going to do?
34:19
Speaker 3: It's true, got awesome all right?
34:21
Speaker 7: Eight seven seven seven nine four one ninety seventy three,
34:23
Speaker 7: share your thoughts. When we come back, we'll close up shop.

Speaker 7: Brewers Royals to watch we hope tonight on Apple TV.
34:49
Speaker 3: And uh, it should be, it should be.
34:51
Speaker 7: I think I'm looking forward to this, and then we're
34:53
Speaker 7: bucking up and it becomes when then we shift into
34:55
Speaker 7: Master's mode. Found out today Phil Mickelson won't be playing
34:58
Speaker 7: because of a family health emergency or something, but we
35:01
Speaker 7: will shift gears.
35:02
Speaker 3: Then this is a good time of year. This is it.
35:04
Speaker 9: This is the last the swan song for college basketball.
35:07
Speaker 9: And then we're on the draft.
35:08
Speaker 7: Well, we switched right from college basketball into masters in.
35:12
Speaker 9: Draft and right on to day two, which is maybe
35:14
Speaker 9: every which is always everyone's favorite part of the draft.
35:16
Speaker 7: Right we're waking and baking and closing up shop. Next
35:20
Speaker 7: it's the Huddle Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
35:26
Speaker 3: See it's about a little boy in the hospital. I
35:28
Speaker 3: was wondering if you could do something.
35:29
Speaker 4: To lift his spirits. Sure I can help you there.
35:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I promised him that you would hit him
35:33
Speaker 1: two home runs.
35:34
Speaker 3: What you know, a couple of dingers.
35:36
Speaker 4: You promised a kid in the hospital that i'd.
35:38
Speaker 3: Hit two home runs?
35:40
Speaker 4: Yeah?
35:40
Speaker 3: Well, no good, No, it's no good. It's terrible. I mean,
35:43
Speaker 3: you don't hit home runs like that.
35:44
Speaker 4: It's hard to hit home runs. And where the heck
35:45
Speaker 4: do you get two from?
35:46
Speaker 9: Well, two is better than one, It's that's ridiculous.
35:50
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not home run hit her.
35:51
Speaker 4: Well, Babe Ruth did it?
35:52
Speaker 10: He did not.
35:53
Speaker 3: Oh you're saying that Babe Ruth was a liar. I'm
35:55
Speaker 3: not calling him a liar, but he wasn't stupid enough
35:57
Speaker 3: to promise too. Get over extend myself.
36:01
Speaker 4: I gotta heck you get in here.
36:05
Speaker 7: Anything armor could do to get a Seinfeld reference on,
36:08
Speaker 7: I'm here for it.
36:08
Speaker 5: Well you got me on the home Run Talk Home
36:10
Speaker 5: Run Talk Show. A brilliant storyline only Larry David could
36:13
Speaker 5: think of.
36:13
Speaker 8: That.
36:13
Speaker 9: Now, didn't I did, do I remember it correctly? Now
36:16
Speaker 9: my man hits a hits, a homer and a and
36:18
Speaker 9: a triple and a throwing air exactly.
36:20
Speaker 5: That was the That was the payoffs. That joke there, Cramer, Cramer.
36:24
Speaker 5: I accidentally it was sold for some quick cash. Autographed.
36:28
Speaker 5: There's a sign birthday car to George Sign Brenner and
36:30
Speaker 5: a kid in the hospital had it and he had
36:32
Speaker 5: to get it back for George. Long story short, so
36:35
Speaker 5: you get he said he'll give it to you. You get
36:36
Speaker 5: two homers, second ones and inside the parker. But then
36:38
Speaker 5: it got charged to throw at their triple the throwing air.
36:41
Speaker 3: Anything thinks of that, like, you know, I love that show.
36:46
Speaker 1: Billy.
36:46
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. You don't have to apologize. It's just the greatest.
36:49
Speaker 3: It's hilarious.

37:23
Speaker 7: the day? Well, I really wanted to make the wake
37:25
Speaker 7: and bake story. All of us that were standing there
37:28
Speaker 7: at for National Burrito Day yesterday at a burrito establishment
37:32
Speaker 7: that is a very very well known chain yesterday and
37:34
Speaker 7: there was about forty to fifty folks standing there getting
37:37
Speaker 7: very very angry at the folks that were sitting there
37:39
Speaker 7: waiting and making all the food, saying how are they
37:42
Speaker 7: taking so long?
37:42
Speaker 9: Well, we got one hundred different burrito orders. Maybe that's
37:45
Speaker 9: the reason why. And maybe if you didn't hit two
37:48
Speaker 9: drift selters before this, you wouldn't be so dang hungry
37:51
Speaker 9: by the time you get to the establishment.
37:53
Speaker 3: But the other one I thought of, which.
37:56
Speaker 9: I think I only dreamt, was a reality and something
37:59
Speaker 9: you could you while potentially intoxicated. The ad from Illinois,
38:07
Speaker 9: Josh Whitman told the story yesterday and a flashback to
38:11
Speaker 9: the Final Four in Indianapolis in nineteen seventy seven, the
38:14
Speaker 9: last time he was.
38:15
Speaker 3: At the Final Four.
38:16
Speaker 9: Drew and told the story about how he and his
38:18
Speaker 9: friends snucky in early and hitting a toilet stall for
38:22
Speaker 9: nearly an hour before the doors opened up so they
38:25
Speaker 9: could blend in with all the other fans in all reality, Like,
38:30
Speaker 9: that's got to be one of the strangest things I've
38:32
Speaker 9: ever thought of.
38:33
Speaker 3: I sent it to our friend armand Sarian and what
38:35
Speaker 3: did he say?
38:36
Speaker 5: I said, Billy, I actually when I was a young pup,
38:39
Speaker 5: a youth at the Bradley Center for one of the
38:41
Speaker 5: doubleheader days, as you know, Drew, there were many there
38:44
Speaker 5: were many a wave game and admirals or a market
38:46
Speaker 5: in Bucks. I would always think to myself as a
38:49
Speaker 5: young boy, a nine ten year old young boy, thinking,
38:52
Speaker 5: I wonder if there's a way somebody could hide in
38:54
Speaker 5: here and stay around until the night came, you know,
38:57
Speaker 5: and stay around and hide out in the in the
38:59
Speaker 5: bathroom or something. Billy, So, as weird as it might
39:01
Speaker 5: have sounded, and I rolled wrapped a billion like you know,
39:03
Speaker 5: I usuld think about that.
39:04
Speaker 9: I thought about that all the time. What are you
39:05
Speaker 9: talking about that's a great idea.
39:07
Speaker 5: Yeah, because you know, and the Bradley Center, as you know,
39:09
Speaker 5: back then was the king of events. I mean they
39:11
Speaker 5: had like every night, there were events, double header events.
39:15
Speaker 5: There was you know, Admiral's Bucks, Marquette Wave, everything going on,
39:18
Speaker 5: you know, monster jam at the at the Bradley Center.
39:21
Speaker 5: So I always thought of that, maybe there's a way
39:22
Speaker 5: to do it. So maybe they get now, I wonder
39:24
Speaker 5: if that's a real story. I wonder if you think
39:28
Speaker 5: he's playing it up a little bit. You really like,
39:31
Speaker 5: hide out in the bathroom stall for that long. It's
39:33
Speaker 5: a pretty cool story. I just wonder.
39:34
Speaker 3: So also they never cleaned it? Well, no, but think
39:39
Speaker 3: about it. That was the part for me.
39:40
Speaker 9: I'm like, goodness, gracious, how many double header days at
39:43
Speaker 9: the Bradley Center that you just mentioned. Did I sit
39:45
Speaker 9: there and say, huh.
39:46
Speaker 3: Well, because he said maybe that.
39:48
Speaker 5: Wasn't well yeah, the pause he said he's stuck in
39:53
Speaker 5: early and then wait for people to get let in.
39:55
Speaker 5: So maybe they cleaned it in the morning and then
39:57
Speaker 5: somehow he got in before.
39:58
Speaker 9: I don't clean it in between the game. Yes, that's
40:01
Speaker 9: a good point, Billy, might be a good one, might
40:02
Speaker 9: be a good one. The other one was in one
40:05
Speaker 9: that got a lot of traction that yesterday fellas was
40:08
Speaker 9: the Washington Wizards did a stunt on April Fool's Day
40:12
Speaker 9: where they brought an individual out and a sweet red sweater,
40:15
Speaker 9: had him blindfolded shoot a half court shot for ten
40:19
Speaker 9: thousand dollars. Well, he airmailed it over the basket. The
40:23
Speaker 9: joke was they played it up, thought that he hit it,
40:25
Speaker 9: and then all of a sudden they're like, yeah, sorry
40:27
Speaker 9: about it. You didn't make it, but we're gonna give
40:30
Speaker 9: you two court side seats for a game next year.
40:33
Speaker 5: Which is a prize or maybe the opposite, depending on
40:35
Speaker 5: how you look at it.
40:36
Speaker 3: Do court side seats for the Wish?
40:38
Speaker 9: Yeah, maybe the most defensive thing is their basketball team
40:41
Speaker 9: having seventeen wins and maybe their two best players being
40:44
Speaker 9: healthy scratches for the entirety of their ten year with
40:47
Speaker 9: the Washington Wizards.
40:48
Speaker 3: But they issued a statement yesterday.
40:50
Speaker 9: Guys, we apologized for last night April Fools joke that
40:53
Speaker 9: left many wondering if we had misled a fan. The
40:55
Speaker 9: skit involving our mascot and other members of our performance team,
40:58
Speaker 9: was scripted and intended to sell lebrate the day. All
41:01
Speaker 9: participants were in on the joke, but we missed the mark.
41:06
Speaker 9: Our fans are our priority, and we continue to be
41:08
Speaker 9: committed to providing a positive experience for all who attend. Now,
41:12
Speaker 9: the only part of that statement, Drew that I really
41:14
Speaker 9: am upset with is the last part, because no, you're not.
41:18
Speaker 9: We continue to be committed to providing a positive experience
41:20
Speaker 9: for all who have attended our games.
41:22
Speaker 3: We watch you play basketball.
41:23
Speaker 9: You're clearly not all that worried about that part that
41:26
Speaker 9: was you don't need to apologize.
41:28
Speaker 3: If people are that upset about it, they need to
41:30
Speaker 3: go touch some girl. I totally agree.
41:32
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was the tenor of the comeback of the
41:35
Speaker 7: like how can you rug pull a guy like that
41:37
Speaker 7: when he when he went to watch your sorry ass
41:39
Speaker 7: fifteen win team?
41:41
Speaker 3: Like what you know? What are you doing?
41:42
Speaker 7: That's not good customer service, not a good joke, and
41:45
Speaker 7: you know, when it's a work most of those things
41:48
Speaker 7: are kiss cams. And yes, the guy we're in the
41:50
Speaker 7: other team's jersey that gets a beer dumped on.
41:52
Speaker 9: Him when the bull goes and pours the beer, because
41:56
Speaker 9: kissing the girlfriend that was.
41:58
Speaker 5: The worst thing they could have is apologize. That's the
42:01
