• 0:14
  Speaker 1: you love.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: That's us, boys. That's us.

• 0:21
  Speaker 3: You are looking live.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Now, gather around because it's time to huddle up.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: We know exactly what we got to do. Let's go
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: out and kick some tail.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: One, two, three. We got some big plays coming. What
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: the hell's going on?
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: When he spoke, he commanded your attention, and he commanded
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: your respect. That son of a gun is thick. Daddy Sarian.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the huddle.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: Welcome, indeed, to the huddle on this soggy election day
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: in the good land.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Drew, Billy, and Armand bringing it to you.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: You can reach us at 877-794-1973, thenicholaylaw.com, talk and text line.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Fun discussions today.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Doing our own version of ranked choice voting, which isn't
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: a thing here, but it is elsewhere.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: But it's basically Top 5 Tuesday. Top 5 Tuesday.
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: And it's given us a chance, Drew, to really give
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: some broad reaches and kind of check in with a
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: lot of things. Because I do believe there's a lot
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: of sports that have gotten neglected over the last month.
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: Because how could you possibly be focusing on a whole
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: lot of other things than just how good.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: The Brewers were? That's a great point. It's kind of
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: a bad time for the Bucs to do a rebuild
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: and all that. But maybe it's a good thing, too.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Or you could say the perfect time. Yeah, that's a
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: good point.
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: Obviously, there was no attention on them or a pretty
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: decent stretch for the Packers. You know, obviously we were preoccupied,
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: but this is probably the best football the Packers have played.
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: Maybe not this week, but the last couple weeks and
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: getting in there. So, yeah, there's definitely, you know, those
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: sports that got neglected. You know, it is NBA season.
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: It is basketball season now in college. It is Admiral season.
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: You know, all those things are happening now as we
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: enter November. And the weather starts to turn. Boy, it's
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: dark out there. That really smacks you in the face.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: When you leave, you know, I know daylight savings, you know, time,
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: you know, reasonably it's there, but when you walk outside
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: and it's five o'clock and five 30, like, wait a minute.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: I thought my mental fog was caused by, you know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: consumption in the last week. Nah, I'm pretty sure now
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: it's got to do with the time.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: The lighting pattern, the sleep pattern. Yeah, no doubt about it.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Circadian rhythms. Yeah, it's a real thing.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: One hour.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's a heck of a change.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: And it also, I also think it's settling into, as
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: we are approaching our one month anniversary of moving to
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: the afternoons, that it all kind of starts swirling at once.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: And now we get into the, like you said, the,
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: the end of the consumption and the run that we
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: were on last week that I do think it's starting
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: to calm down a little bit, but I am, I mean, I've,
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: I was trying to fall asleep last night because I
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: didn't want to keep watching the Bears dominate the Seahawks.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: There was good reason for me to try and roll over,
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: but I didn't need much assistance.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I was ready to knock out there very quickly. Yeah,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: me too. I've been feeling it too.
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: It's kind of a weird thing because we've been like
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: the guys that were getting up that early and doing that.
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: But I did not need to see Caleb Williams on
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: the set talking about all the Bears fans talking about
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: how they're taking the next step with Simmons and all this.
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: And I'm like, is this the reality I have to
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: live in? Is this the penance I'm going to pay
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: for the sports gods now? I'm starting to think that
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: this might be the penance. You know, I've been gifted
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: this moment lifted above the heavens, above the clouds, a
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: Brewers World Series. And is this the penance we're going
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: to have to pay now?
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Is the Bears being a Super Bowl contender?
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: Or I shudder to think even a Super Bowl winner.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: Oh, man.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's the thing you worry about. But isn't
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: that okay? I mean, isn't that the choice you'd make?
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: So I keep trying to remind myself this.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Is the Bears look good. That's the Sophie's choice.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Like, hey.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Brewers can win a World Series, but that means the
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Bears are going to win the Super Bowl. You make
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: the trade every time. What's more important, the love or
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: the hate? Love and your team or hate?
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: The love is more important. Man, am I going to
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: hate this.
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: I think that's the right way to look at it.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: Of course, they haven't done anything yet. They just are
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: looking very good right now.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: No, but it gives the impression they have the feeling,
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: which is a tough one to settle with and one
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: to wrestle with is, I'm struggling to see drew them
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: going through the next 10 to 15 years without getting one, right?
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: Like you, you start to see they're so early in
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: Caleb looks so good and so explosive.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: And Ben Johnson has that thing.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: Rolling and humming to the point where it looks like
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: this is going to be a hell of a rivalry
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: in the battle that, you know, a lot of us
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: have talked about wanting.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: So now I got to live in it.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: I said, I definitely wanted it and liked it better
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: when both teams are good. I do believe the Packers
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: are still a really good football team. And that game
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: on Christmas day, is going to decide who wins the division,
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: but man, Chicago is going to get glazed rightfully. So,
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: because when you can run the ball like that and just,
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: I mean, that first drive was like football porn, 17 plays,
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: 80 yards, eight and a half minutes, right down the
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: Superbowl champions throats at on the road.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: In their park. That's a, you need a smoke after that.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: If you're a bears fan.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: And they, they also made a, you know, made big
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: plays at the end to, to put it away when
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: they needed to, when it looked like Seattle was going
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: to make the run that third down and long, you know,
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: that was a huge, that bubble screen.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: That was a monster play in that game.
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: And maybe in their season, I mean, because that, you know,
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: they don't convert that the Seahawks have a chance down
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: three to go get the winning score at home, all
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: that stuff. And then, you know, things might turn out differently,
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: but that was a huge call, a huge execution. by
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: the Bears to get that first down. Nearly scored on
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: that play, and then they scored right after.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: We were wondering last week, what next? What do we
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: have to look forward to now that the Brewers have
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: capped it off and put a stamp on things? Well,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: three weeks and a day from today, Packers will play
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: at SoFi against the Rams, and there's a chance that
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Micah Parsons will be back. He starts individual work this week,
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: team stuff after that, and 21 days, that would put
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: him on.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Pace to start that Yeah.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: And that's going to be a hell of a game
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: to be able to witness his return. I think that's
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: kind of where, cause if I'm not mistaken, I believe
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: the Rams mentioned that miles Garrett is going to start practicing,
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: open up his window as well. So both of them
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: could be returning on that day. And you, you start
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: looking at it. It's going to be hard to make
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: this NFC playoff field. If you don't rattle off a
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: win in that game, like you can drop a couple
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: of But it does feel like you're going to have
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: to drop the ones in the AFC because you're going
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: to need as many tiebreakers as possible to be able
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: to compete with those guys.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: So they'll play there, then they get the mini-bye, which
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: is longer than the normal mini-bye, right?
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: The Wednesday? Yeah, it's a unique schedule.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: Well, and they get the bye going into that game, right?
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: So they get the 10 days off and then the
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: extra 10 days, where I don't know if they're right
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: now for sure, but this hamstring soreness that we're seeing
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: from Kyler Murray... I can't tell for sure if this
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: is a soft benching and a chance to get Carson
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: Wentz back into the game. But when the Packers play
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: the Vikings in a week from Sunday, there's a very
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: real chance that they're seeing Wentz instead of Kyler Murray
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: again coming up in that game.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Well, after they play the Rams, they have, by my math,
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: the Saints on the road and then home against the
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: Bills and Dolphins.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: And after that, the Bills game starts, right? That run
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: of four games.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: At home, to close out the year, four of the
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: last five games at home, to close out the schedule,
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: that is a heck of a favorable close. And having
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: the Dolphins the five days before the Bears on Christmas
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: Day is a nice little touch.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: That's a nice one, right?
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: It's kind of like, I don't want to say it's
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: like a week off. This is a weird schedule for
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: the Packers this year. Two Thursday games early. You don't
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: really have a full bye week. So you don't have
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: a full bye week. You have two mini-byes there. It's
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: kind of weird, but maybe it'll be a good thing
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: in the long run. The Packers can get more rest
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: there as they enter.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: The late parts of the season. Then they have, like
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: you mentioned, they have the.
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: Wednesday, then the Christmas day as a Friday.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Odd stuff, but hey, it's been that kind of schedule,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: that kind of season. We'll see.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: Maybe the Packers can return the favor. The Packers were
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: flying high, too, until the Denver game last year. Micah
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: gets hurt. They lose a couple games against the Bears.
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: I think they should have won. I think a lot
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: of people feel that way.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, you.
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: Catch an onside kick. You don't blow a lead in
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: the second half.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: You should win.
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: Those things didn't happen. So maybe we can return the
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: favor this year. Maybe we can end their dreams. Maybe
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: we can foil their plans. It sure would be a
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: nice time to be able to get that win and
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: set yourself up for.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: A hat and a t-shirt. I don't think anyone's winning.
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: The hat and t-shirt in that game on Christmas because
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: I think the division is still going to be too good.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: But I do believe control of it's going to come
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: down there. And yeah, your quarterback's playing really, really well.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: Theirs is playing very well. Will the Packers be able
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: to run the ball at all by the time we
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: get there? Should be a good question because the Steelers
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: for the first three weeks couldn't run themselves out of
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: a paper bag. and now have one of the better
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: running offenses in football, Drew, over the last four weeks.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: I thought yesterday a lot was made of the Matt
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: LaFleur comments about letting Jordan Love cook. I also thought
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: the Kevin Zeitler ones were a little bit interesting, and
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: then him having more of the coordinators in Stenevich talking today.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Of, yeah, he's ready. He's ready to play. Yeah, he's
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: ready to play. But it sounded like.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: The more important thing to them was getting Aaron Banks
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: back into the lineup and, and believing that they're a
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: good there.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Bill, I was Pete Doherty.
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: I think that had the back and forth with LeFleur
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: where he said, you know, you're right, guards, but that
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: wasn't great on Thursday night.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I said, wait, you don't think we played well enough there?
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: No.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, we'll just agree to disagree on that side. I
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: don't know that Lang and Tomlinson was bad.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: I think everybody was wondering if Aaron Banks was good
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: enough over on the left side and if that moves around.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: It just feels like there's a lot more to this
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: Kevin Zeitler story that we haven't heard so far.
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: It does seem that way because it seemed like a
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: shoe-in for him to start getting work.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: They thought he was going to be more ready to
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: play earlier or he believed he was ready to play
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: much earlier.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Than they did. Yeah, that's a good point. The whole
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: thing is just starting to smell weird.
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: Well, time will tell, I suppose, on that one. This
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: is Steve on the text line, nickel.com, text line. We
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: just really need to make sure the Packers beat the
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: Bears on Christmas. Everything else will be a bonus. See,
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: that's where I don't want to get. I don't want
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: to start getting into that mode. I don't want to
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: start becoming that team. It's like, you know, the Bears
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: were that for years. That was loser talk. Oh, all
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: we care about is beating the Packers. We can go
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: 2-14 as long as we beat the Packers. I always
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: thought that was loser talk. I want us to have
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: higher aspirations than that. Higher standards as a Green Bay
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: Packers fan to say, as long as we beat the Bears,
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: I don't care about anything else.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Well, I do.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: I mean, I don't want to beat the Bears on
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: Christmas and lose the playoffs and watch the Bears make
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: a playoff run, so I'll have to disagree with that one.
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: UPS Ben, it was okay when the Cubs fans would
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: ask when the last World Series championship in Milwaukee was,
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: but now that Packers fans asked the Bears when the
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: last Super Bowl was, everybody's all upset about it.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know about that. I don't know who's upset
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: about it. But yeah, I don't think Packers fans would
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: be upset about it. Yeah, they're just generally, I think,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: just salty. I would be too if I was inferior.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: And soft. If I was objectively inferior for a long
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: period of time, I'd be salty too. I'm just saying.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: That's the facts. Then you can print it. Print it
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: right there.
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: Put it on his shirt too. And sell it on
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: 84th and Layton for half the price. Waiting for those
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: to go down.
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: Do you believe that they just put up a sign,
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: or do you have to go and actually do some
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: of the legwork and negotiate?
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: You've got to haggle. You've got to haggle.
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: Now, I saw them pull up a truck with big
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: rubber maids, and I'm like, all right, while they're unloading,
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: are they getting more shipment in? Is that how they
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: get around? So I think you've got to go and haggle.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: I think you've got to go talk to the guy.
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: That's the fun of it, isn't it? The fun of
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: it is to go negotiate, so that would be part
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: of it.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess you could call that part fun. A
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: couple of not fun days for a couple of former Packers.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: Darian Kennard drew, released by the Raiders earlier on here today. Also,
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: former Packer DB Robert Rochelle cut by the Carolina Panthers
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: after their game against Green Bay coming up this week.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: The amount of player movement in the NFL coming up
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: over the next week is going to be hot. the
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: latest report right now, Jonathan Taylor, not yet. Are the
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: Indianapolis Colts drew ready to part with JT?
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: Well, that either means that they don't want to trade
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: him or nobody's given us that first round pick that
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: we keep off asking for. So we'll wait until next
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: week on the deadline before we have to make that sweat.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: Keep seeing if they make them sweat. I don't know
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: that they end up getting a first rounder, but I
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: definitely don't think that they keep them right.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't seem like that. It doesn't. There's a disconnect.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: You've also made so many moves that at this point,
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: if you're going to then continue to hold on to them,
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: what are you doing here?
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Risking injury.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: And risking it being an even worse package. You're putting
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: an asset in peril. If you're going to keep him.
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: Then just put them on the shelf and come up
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: with a phantom injury and put them on IR for
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: the year.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: That toe is really hurting you, JT, isn't it? Man,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: that hammy is really, really tight. That's the dilemma.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: And this is where I think my favorite one comes
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: in because Jordan Schultz said in his report just a
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: couple of minutes ago is that the Giants are among
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: the most active teams looking at acquiring, quote, bigger names. Well,
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: they desperately weren't going to pay that running back that
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: they had.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Big money. Yeah. So what would be the right thing
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: to do after John Mara hasn't slept in three years
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: since Saquon Barkley went to the Philadelphia? He hasn't slept.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to sleep.
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: Let's just go trade for a, for a running back
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: and then pay him more than we paid our own guy.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: I love that turnabout as a finally Joe Shane makes
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: do and makes right on John Merritt having his insomnia
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: for the last two years.
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: And they have a reason to do it. I mean,
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: they have a shot obviously in the east. You know,
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: I mean, right now they're leading. Yeah, somebody's going to
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: win that division. Somebody's going to win it, and right
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: now they're the team. And if the Cowboys can't figure
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: themselves out, it won't be them. We know what the
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: Eagles are doing. Washington's struggling, even though they just beat
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: the Eagles. So the Giants might be like, all right,
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: this is our shot. We got John Harbaugh now. We
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: have a guy that's playing decent at quarterback. Although, who
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: knows how long it'll last. We're going to try and
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: win the East now. This might be his shot. Yeah,
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: and hopefully get John Maranap finally. Because that's got to
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: be tiring. You've got to let that guy close his eyes, man.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I feel bad for him. He hasn't slept for three years.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's got to be rough. Absolutely rough.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: Hey, on the show that a lot of people have
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: been wondering for a long time, that super special Run
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: It Back on FanDuel TV show, where we used to
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: always be grabbing those quotes last year of Giannis potentially
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: leaving the Bucs. Booker Cousins went on there, made some
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: noise earlier on today. Yeah, yeah. Said drew quote. It
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: wouldn't surprise me to see Giannis go back to Milwaukee
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: and already they played seven games and we already got
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: boogie now re-returning him.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Damn.
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: Are they going to be throughout the season? If they
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: don't catch some fire here down in Miami, it's.
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: Kind of nice that they're going to have to deal
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: with the daily smoke, not us.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: And I get why.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: I mean, Giannis did have some comments about how they
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: got to play better and they were kind of going
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: through the motions after their latest loss. where Luka stomped them,
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: and they're 2-5 now. And so, yeah, I mean, it's
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: not been ice cream and puppy dogs out of Miami,
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: that's for sure.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens there.
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: He doesn't seem like a mercenary to me, too, where
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: he's just going to keep traveling around looking for rings from.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Team to team.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I could be wrong.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: I mean, maybe it's wishful thinking. I just feel like
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: he didn't want to really leave in the first place
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: for any other reason except for contending, and if he's
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: not going to win there, Well, he could have done
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: that more. Now, it's a long season. They could win
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: a few games here. Giannis is still playing very well.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: But.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I got the audio. The audio was terrible audio, so
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to play it. That's why I just
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: read it, because I knew from that show that it
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: wasn't going to be very good. But it's interesting, Drew.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Already we're putting that thing out there.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: We're floating that soft launching the Bucs and Giannis already
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: returning because it's not going as swimmingly as people thought.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: What are the polymarket and calci odds of that?
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Hmm.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, now, can Kelshi give the
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: odds out? Giannis being an endorser?
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: Now, Polymarket, I mean, they'll put anything up there. I
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: would love to know at what point. Pat Riley goes
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: down and says something to him.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: And says, okay, we have to do something here, too.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: Because I've got to imagine Pat's just not going to stand, Pat.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: Pardon the pun.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Pardon the pun.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: To just sit back and listen to all this nonsense.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: Or it'll be a nice passive-aggressive thing by Pat Riley.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: It's like, I didn't like taking the cookies away from
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: LeBron and the team flight. I didn't trade my whole
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: team for this.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: No way.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: I did not trade my whole team away for this.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: Somebody has to set the, this is a quote. Somebody
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: has to set the tone. Others have got to follow
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: right now. We have glimpses of it. It starts for
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: me from bam, Andrew and Davion, the starting group. It's
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: almost like we're going through the motions. We have to
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: come together. We cannot go the other way.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: It didn't seem happy. That's for sure. It didn't seem happy.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Now it's yeah.
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: Well, I kind of like manifesting this thing, though. The discontent,
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: the trying to get him back to Milwaukee. I'll tell
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: you again, the hate watch did not go well last night.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Not at all.
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: The hate watch of the Bears was not good. The
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: hate watch of the Miami Heat the first couple of
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: weeks has been fun. And I know, Armand, you're not
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: fully on board with the hate watch of the Heat. No,
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: but I don't want them to win.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: This is what it is.
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: This is, this is kind of working out exactly how
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: the buck fan hate watch would be because you do
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: get to see him still dominate and cook.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: But then them look like the bucks at the end.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, sure.
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: Because what we, the way we did started this show
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: with the top five, you know, who's top five on
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: your athlete list in Wisconsin right now. He used to be,
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: you know, entrenched in the top spot for years and
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: years and years. That was Giannis' spot in that kind
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: of poll. So now that he's gone, it's been kind
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: of sad. Okay, we don't have Giannis anymore. So maybe
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: we can get him back and then people can start
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: to feel the good feelings about Giannis again. Because I
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: kind of feel bad that people don't. It's a little
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: schadenfreude and it's like, you know, people are like making
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: jokes about Giannis and he kind of became a villain
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: for some people.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: Let's bring him back here. Then getting everyone's good graces.
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: He can bring the young guys along. He can start
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: smiling again and cracking dad jokes, talking about pepperoni pizza.
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: That's what I'd like to see. So, I mean, maybe
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: it's wishful thinking, but I don't know. I'd like to
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: see it.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Armin, you remain the cockeyed optimist. Optimist. You got to
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: stay optimistic. Has to be. You got to be. Has
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: to be. It's the only way to be, you know?
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: Billy, what do you got for our 420 story? Well, listen,
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: I got a good one. And 420 is right upon
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: us right now. Because and maybe this is maybe this
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: is wrong. Maybe I'm just too mean. Maybe I shouldn't.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: Pat Murphy, you're floating on cloud nine right now or
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: on cloud four, you know, whatever you want to call it.
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: It might be cloud 420 for folks listening to this
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: at this exact moment. He had, why is he on
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: this apology tour about the, the horse bleep.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Yankee team one?
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Apparently it feels bad.
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: Just went on Joel Sherman's podcast and the, the show
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: podcast on the New York post to say, I called
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: Brian Cashman right away when I heard my comments.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Got out.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: I didn't realize we were on a hot mic, and
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: I tried to explain that I wasn't talking about the
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: 2026 Yankees. I was just referring to the teams with
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: a lot of money that sign a lot of players
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: that sometimes end up being like that little.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Engine they could.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: So to speak with more of a high expectation, I
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: got to get mine. I regret saying it. Pat, talk
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: as much smack as possible.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Feel free.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: The only people that were mad about it It seemed
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: like we're non-Yankee or Brewer fans. Because it felt like
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: a lot of Yankee fans were like.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Thank God someone's saying it. Yes, thanks for saying what
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: we just said. Finally, somebody else is watching this.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: Almost the Yankee fans were celebrating it more than Brewers
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: fans at the moment. Pat, fly your flag. Talk your stuff.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: If there's ever a time that you get to, now
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: is the time. You do not apologize for a damn
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: thing that comes.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Out of your mouth the next month.
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: I do like that he kind of clarified it, though,
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: because people weren't interpreting it wrong. They all thought he
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: meant the Yankee team that Bowers was on, and I
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: think he was saying the future Yankee teams that Bowers
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: could be on as a representation of any team that
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: would pay him money.
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: I felt horribly if I slandered the Yankees, which is
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: kind of referring to them as the iconic machine.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's actually complimenting them in some ways. In some ways, but...
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: I'm with you, Billy.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: And, well, Murph could use some Happy Place Hemp products
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: because he's going to be convalescing from his hip surgery,
• 21:10

• 21:56
  Speaker 4: man about film. He, his favorite team won. I was
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: going to say, I can't wait to talk to him.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: He went to some games. Plenty to talk to Matt about.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: You were in the huddle.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports. Drew Billion, I'm back with you on the huddle.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: It's been too long since we've heard this sexy, this
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: sexy walk-up song.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, so good. It's been too long since we said
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: hello to our pal Matt Miller, a man about film. Matt,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: I begin with an apology.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: I saw you after game two of the World Series,
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: and I didn't mean to blow you off, but I
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: was running for my life to get downstairs through the crowd.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: I may have been a little distracted at that moment
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: and maybe a little inebriated at that moment. So I
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: don't know if you were going to get the best.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: We're on the club level. And I said, Matt goes, Hey, Drew,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I'm going to give you a wave as well. I
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: didn't break.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: I liked it. It was not a blow off. It was,
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: I got to get downstairs and fight this crowd. leaving.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: That's no joke.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: I've just been seething. I've just been so angry these
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: past two weeks. Just nothing has been able to console me.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: You've been in a terrible mood, right? You've been at this,
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: you've been big leagued by bigger than me.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: I'm sure. So I'm just saying, you know, I.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Get big leagued by my infant child.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: I'll get used to that.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: That's only beginning. We've all been there. All right.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: So as the big brewers fan, what was, what was
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: your experience like?
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Uh, devouring it all.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: And then the parades and watching the social media stuff
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: and seeing your beloved brewers on weekend update on Saturday
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: night live.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's, it's been incredible. I, I mean, I do
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: think it, I don't even know if it's all fully
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: hit us yet. Like, and I know everyone keeps saying that,
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: but it is, there is like a weird dream feeling
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: of like, you keep waiting to like, be like, Oh no,
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: you were dreaming. It's still game two against the Padres
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: or something like that. But the fact that it, our
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: Brewers that this team that I've watched for most of
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: my life be a supporting character to other teams, cool
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: journeys that we were the little brother to the Cardinals
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: for so long that even in this great run, that
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: we always seem to be the team that the other
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: hot team got to play and, you know, started their run,
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: the Met series and the diamond backs. And, you know, it's,
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: And this year we got to be the main character.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: We got to be the protagonist of our own incredible,
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: you know, historic story. And they got to do it
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: being themselves, being the Brewers, playing a really cool brand
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: of baseball. Like this isn't a fluke season. This isn't
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: like the Brewers went out and bought a bunch of
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: dudes and made some crazy trades at the deadline and
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: they won the World Series. And now we're going to
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: have to face like a decade of miserableness. They didn't
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: cash in all their chips. They played really good baseball
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: with the guys they had and can keep doing that
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: for years to come. It's absolutely bug nuts. It makes
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: me so happy.
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: It really does give you a feeling of they were
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: able to strike their own way. The win your way
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: or win our way is perfect encapsulation of it because
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: They did get a little baseball karma luck with the
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: Dodgers and the Scooble and the trade not going their
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: way when they thought that they were going to have
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: it and all those stories coming back. But, Matt, I
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: also think the part that you hit it on the
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: head of, like, it wasn't a fluke. They were clearly
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: the best team. They dominated in the postseason. They still
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: have the runway for a lot of success offensively. on
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: the backend here as well. But it wasn't just like
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: how a lot of us who had defended the bites
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: at the apple theory for a long time. I've been like, listen,
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: you win 89 games, you win 91 games and you
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: get in, you can get hot. They were the best
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: team and the hottest team. And rarely is ever that team,
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: the lovable one that they seemingly were across the entire country.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: Agreed. And the fact that they took the toughest path
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: to winning this that they could have taken. They played
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: the hottest team in the NL with the Padres. Then
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: they played the Death Star in the Dodgers. And then
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: they played the best team from the American League, the
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: undoubted best team in the American League, the Tampa Bay Rays,
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: the kind of like mirror image of themselves. And they
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: crushed them all. I know, like, I mean, I'm sure
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: we've all seen it. Like, people talk about the Bucs,
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: and it's like, oh, you had to beat the Hawks,
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: and you had to beat, you know, the Nets who
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: were injured. And people love to criticize the team's path. Like, oh,
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: how good of a champion are they? They're a champion.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: And if you are one of those people who criticizes paths, well,
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: what would have been harder for the Brewers? What possible
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: thing could have, what didn't they do to achieve the impossible.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: It was, it's great. I love that we have an undeniable,
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: awesome baseball champion.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a great point.
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's wonderful enough to win the world series,
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: a lifelong dream come true for all Brewers fans. You know,
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: an impossible, it seemed impossible, but they, they then started
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: getting discussions about, you know, this is one of the
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: great teams that runs of all time. And I guess
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: if they would have closed out the sweep, maybe that
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: would have been the only thing.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: But you're right.
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: It just gave us a better story to come back
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: and get Miz in the mound for game five and
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: to get the win. Now, I noticed this, Matt. I
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: like that right away you were thinking about it in
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: screenwriter terms. Like right away, you're thinking about the protagonist
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: and it's like, could you write a better script for this?
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: And how do you direct this documentary of which there
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: are probably going to be 14 of them coming out
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: at some point?
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely. And I mean, I'm sure somewhere in Hollywood,
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: they're like, is there a Moneyball 2 here? Is there
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: a 2 Money 2 ball that we can make out
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: of the Brewers? And they're just really fun. And the
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: fact that, you know, they got to go to Saturday
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Night Live and that, you know, they got a crowd. pop,
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: you know, people really were excited to see them. I
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: think there is something about this team that really compels people.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Now I did think it was interesting. I heard a
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: few other podcasts that were like, this is a team
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: you're going to get sick of over the next three years.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Cause this year they're the lovable underdogs, but they're going
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: to be this good. Unless, you know, there is a
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: good chance they will be this good for the next
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: half decade, if not more. And you're going to see,
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: we're not going to be cute and lovable much longer.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: We're going to be the team that people are like,
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: screw you. We got to beat you. And what a
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: cool place for the Brewers to be.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: Always going to be a backlash. Now, yeah, we had
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: a couple of movies made about Giannis. How about a
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: movie about Murph?
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Good one. Very much.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Sadly, Rip Torn's no longer with us to play Murph.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: I don't know who, who would you cast as Pat Murphy?
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, you could do like a Nick Nolte. I mean,
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: obviously Nolte's vocal cords have taken a few sandpaper fastballs
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: over the years in a way that, you know, Murph's
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: voice isn't quite that hard to listen to, but he
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: could play like kind of the grizzled, you know, coach
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: of teacher of men kind of roles.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Pete Davidson can play Yelich.
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: I was going to say Pete Davidson, Yelich, but we
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: got to get Chalamet in there for someone, right?
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Like he's got to be, he's got to play somebody.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: If you want people to show up in the seats.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Chalamet is a really good idea for that.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Too bad.
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: Lawrence Tierney died like 25 years ago. Wouldn't he be
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: the one that, uh, uh, Woody Harrelson.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: All right. Woody Harrelson. I like this. I like this.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: I see that.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Um, Matt, that'd be good.
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: Speaking of castings, um, is Nicholas cage going to work
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: again after this Madden thing? I like, ah, listen, I love,
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: I love John Madden. John Madden is one of my
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: favorite human beings that has ever walked this earth. And
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: I wanted everything to do with celebrating in a biopic
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: of John Madden.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: And I watched some of that. I love Nick Cage.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: Especially this kind of phase of his career where he's
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: kind of doing cool things and owning his past Nicolas Cage-ness.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: This is one of those cases where it's like, you
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: tell me we couldn't have found an actor who looks
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: like John Madden.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Anything like.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Anything like.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Or chose to play him. He's not playing. He's playing
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: the best case.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: I forget what movie it was where they like lacquered
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: up an actor in a bunch of makeup and he
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: just looked like Paul Giamatti. And I was like, we
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: have a Paul Giamatti. Just cast Paul Giamatti. Yeah, this
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Madden movie seems like a bad idea. The director is
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: David O. Russell, who's made a bunch of bad movies
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: in a row. Now he's on a real losing streak.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: He directed The Fighter, directed Silver Linings Playbook, which were
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: really good movies. And then he made a movie called
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Amsterdam that you forgot existed until I said it right now.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: And you know how hard it is to make a
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Taylor Swift related movie that people have forgotten about? Do
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: you know how difficult that is?
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's rough.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: So the guy's on a real slump. I... And the
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: fact that Amazon is like, I don't know, we'll maybe
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: release it in theaters. Please watch our streaming movie. It
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: tells me they don't have a lot of confidence in
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: this thing.
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: The clip that came out with him in what is
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: supposed to be Pat Summerall next to him was one
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: of the more egregious things that I've been able to see.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: And it was that test launch.
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: Of, do we actually need to put this on theaters
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: or should we just pass and make sure everybody.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Comes right here?
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: There is a weird thing, though, with Hollywood marketing these
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: days where it's like they choose purposefully kind of bad clips.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: to kind of get people talking on the internet about it.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: This is a thing with a lot of movies now,
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: where they'll release a clip and I'm like, you can't
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: tell me you think this is good. I don't understand
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: what you're trying to get from this.
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: They want to rage bait audiences, in a way, is
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: what you're saying.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: It feels like Hollywood knows that rage bait does better
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: than positive bait on the internet. As a result, they're like,
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: we'll give our worst clip out.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: That's a zig while everyone's eggs.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: All right, Matt, like speaking of box office, is this
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: the downtime we're coming out holiday season? Does it start
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: like Thanksgiving week or what? Because we have a Godzilla
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: minus zero coming out. The cat in the hat animated.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: It's coming out. Bill haters, you know, Dr. Seuss, right?
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: Uh, you later is the cat in the hat.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah the cat in the hat so.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: No weirdly halloween was our dead weekend this year because
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: i think it was that it was halloween landed on
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: a saturday and no one wanted to release a horror
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: movie two days before halloween and then halloween ends and
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: everyone's like well i don't want to see scary movies
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: anymore we've moved on it's now christmas.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Season perfect time for a world series.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah But this weekend is actually going to be big.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: That Godzilla movie, the previous one, Godzilla minus one, absolutely rules.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you've checked that out. It is tremendous.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: I know it's very confusing for people because that is
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: a Japanese Godzilla movie versus the other Godzillas that America
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: has been making. This one rules. This one is one
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: of the, I'm very excited for minus zero. And then
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: you've got the cat in the hat, which kids movies
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: make money and people of all generations know the cat
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: in the hat. it's probably going to make decent money
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: this weekend. And it'll probably have legs because kids got
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: to do something and the weather's getting worse and getting
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: darker out. And you've also got wild horse nine this weekend,
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: which is the new movie from the guy who did
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: three billboards over Ebbing, Missouri and in Bruges and the
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: Banshees have been a Sharon. He's a big Oscar guy.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: It looks like John Malkovich might get nominated for Best
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: Supporting Actor or Best Actor this year for that movie,
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: which I would love to see a John Malkovich Oscar-winning speech.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Malkovich has been doing it for a long time. I
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: think that's probably going to do pretty well too. So
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: we've got a big slate of movies this weekend and
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: then pretty much every weekend until the end of the year,
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: which ends with obviously Dune and Avengers Doomsday. otherwise known
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: as everyone is spending their money at the movie theaters
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: this weekend weekend. Yeah.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, we got a Jumanji coming out too in December, right?
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: Another one on Christmas. I don't understand how movie theaters
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: are going to have room for all of it. They're
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: going to need a ton of screens for a ton
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: of screens for Dune. Jumanji is going to, that movie
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: made a billion dollars the first one. And like, that's
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: not even including all the movies and the Oscar based on.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: The ad budget.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: They're really pushing a fucker in law.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: As well. I've seen that a lot. A lot of
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: those in the Rocky De Niro and Stiller commercials.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: People forget how much money I think the meat, I
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: think meet the Fockers was like the highest grossing comedy
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: of like, it made a ton of money. Wow. Yeah,
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: like those movies made egregious amounts of money. And then
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Hollywood decided that making comedies just wasn't for them anymore.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: And I'm glad to see that they're coming back. And
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: I'm glad to see, you know, it's probably going to
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: do pretty well. I think Ariana Grande, you know, that's
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: a value add. She is a notable star, especially for
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: younger generations who maybe haven't seen the Meet the Parents movies.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: So I think that's going to make some money too.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: And hopefully it's good too. It'd be nice if all
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: these movies were good too.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: That's a good thing to be able to shoot for.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: The other one that caught my eye is coming out,
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: I think, next weekend is Ebenezer. It's like, oh, Johnny Depp,
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: last seen in a trial, you know, that captivated a
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: certain segment of the public. He's back trying to make
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: a movie as, you know, a Dickensian movie.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and they keep trying to be like, no, this
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: is going to be a different Christmas Carol. And I
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: keep seeing the trailers and being like, I'm not sure what, yeah,
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: three ghosts arrive in Past, Present, and Future. What's different here?
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: They do have a horror director making it. His name's
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: Ty West. He did X and Pearl. So I'm a
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: little interested that maybe they lean a little harder into
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: the like gothic ghost story angle.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Supernatural Scrooge. That's what it is.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: They already did that 10 years ago with Tom Hardy
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: as a TV show. So, like, I mean, it's a
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: time-honored story. Like, how many new angles are there on,
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: you know, Christmas Carol? Right. I'll probably still end up wanting...
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: I'll probably prefer to watch the Muppet Christmas Carol. That's always.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Still the best one. That's a good one. Still the
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: best one. Did you ever catch... It's so good.
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: Billy and I were wondering, did you ever catch the
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: Chris Hansen movie that he was so mad about that
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: Chris Hansen, like.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: I did. Primetime? Which is actually still showing... Yeah, that's
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: still showing over at the Avalon right now.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: I think we're going to see it. We might have
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: to go.
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: Because I was always a big fan of the Catcher Predators, Billy,
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: and we always talk about it. But the thing is,
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: I don't want to say they bastardized it, but they
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: made such a weirdness out of it. I know Chris
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: Hansen wasn't happy about it. I've seen him on some
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: podcasts saying they totally are lying about it.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It was just completely false.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: Well, it's one of those things that, in retrospect, it's like, yeah,
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: it's kind of weird that the number one show in
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: America was like, pedophile stingrays, right?
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: That's a weird thing. That's true.
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: We were just locked into network TV more, and it
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: was unlike anything. It was like reality TV in a way.
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: That Dateline stuff was unlike anything we saw. The drama
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: was so intense.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: But you're right. That part of it is still weird.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying you're wrong about that. But listen, I
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: was engrossed by it.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, sorry.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: The movie actually ties it to like the Iraq war
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: stuff too. And it's like, that was a real moment
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: of America of like righteous anger and like righteous being like,
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: we are out for justice and we don't know where,
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: we don't know where we're going to find it, but
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: we're going to find justice. Dang it. And it's, it's
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: a really interesting movie. I think it's worth checking out.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: And the guy who directed it also directed the Elizabeth
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Holmes documentary. Okay. That's making blockbuster money, which is absolutely,
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: imagine saying like the three hour long documentary is going
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: to make more money than super girl this year. Absolutely.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: It's great. By the way, you should check it out
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: as well.
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: All right, Matt, on the way out, how was the
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: first Halloween as a parent? What was trick or treating?
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: Like how much candy do you still have in the house?
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm, I'm interested in this.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: We have so much candy still. We didn't go out.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: We dressed up as Indiana Jones and he was the
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: golden idol at the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: And Ellen really wanted to go trick or treating with Remy.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: And I was like, but every house we go to
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: is going to know that the candy's for us. The
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: baby's six months old. Everyone's going to know we are
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: using our baby to get candy. So we didn't go trick-or-treating,
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: but luckily we bought a way too large a bag
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: of candy for not that many trick-or-treaters, and now I've
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: got cavities.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: See, but that's the good thing.
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: That's the sweet age, Drew, because then he can eat
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: the candy, and then you don't have now the three-year-old saying,
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: where'd all my candy go?
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: Right, no, the dad tax is 100% now. Where'd all
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: my candy go? I have five pieces in here left
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: last night.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: Not anymore.
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: I had no idea that I kept picking the Skittles
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: for me, you know, which was great.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Listen, we've got to check it for razor blades. You've
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: got to check it.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Make sure it's not poisonous. That is fantastic.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Matt Miller, thank you for popping on. We appreciate it.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: We're going to have you back.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: Thanks for having me, friendos. How about those brewers?
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: How about them? Amazing. You're right. Still surreal. Still hard
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: to process. Oh, yeah, the brewers. They won the championship.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: That is a fun thing to just be able to say.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: How about them brewers? How about them brewers?
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: Amazing.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: We'll be back to close up shop on the Tuesday
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: edition of the Huddle Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Drew, Billy, and Armand bringing it to you. It's November 3rd, boys.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: That's crazy to think about already.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: We haven't seen a sub-freezing high temperature. We haven't seen
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: a trace of snow yet. Still relatively mild around here,
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: around these parts here at the Megaplex.
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: Now, are we supposed to be paying a penance for
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: how warm it was this fall? Isn't it supposed to
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: be a real cold winter? Is that what I'm hearing
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: coming up here?
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: This is an El Nino year, isn't it? El Nino,
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: or does that mean that it's going to be warmer
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: throughout the winter? It might be warmer and just more snow, perhaps.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: I thought that was La Nina. I always mix everything
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: up like this. I am always wrong. But I'm down
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: with whatever it is.
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: I busted the snowblower out today. Just made sure that
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: that son of a gun was going to be able
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: to run. Just getting her ready to roll.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's going to be like you said,
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: this is the time of year.
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: You, you tell yourself, I should've got the leaf blower
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: last year when the season was over, but that's okay.
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: I'll borrow my dad's again. And we've had some nice
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: days to get, to get some work done. I think
• 40:07
  Speaker 6: everyone's kind of catching up on that. Cause we've been
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: so ensconced in Brewers baseball.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: In a good way. But yes, an El Nino milder winter,
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: milder winter. I like that. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: I'll take it. Let's ride. The last couple winters haven't
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: been bad.
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: Drew, you're spot on. There's been like the one or
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: two snowstorms it feels like, and that's about it. Also,
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: I mean, the cold days are one of these. We
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: get into this little polar vortex, but I also, I mean,
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: I'll get into this once we get close, but I
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: also think we're just getting a little bit more excited
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: to be canceling school. I think we get a little
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: aggressive on the snow days and the cold days nowadays.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: MPS got off Friday for the parade and off today
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: because so many schools are polling sites.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's what it is. MPS had themselves a double dip.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Our high school was a polling place. It was a
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: great way to skip classes. Because you could go in
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: there and kind of.
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: Oh, you could just mill around in there for hours.
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: I remember my senior year, I'm pretty sure I missed
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: four periods.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: We never had our spot as a polling place.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Sorry, guys.
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: I've got to get down there. I've got to vote.
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: You know you can do that after school. I've got
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: to go.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: I'm doing my duty. I don't want to forget.
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: The NBA's not playing any games tonight to make sure.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: I thought that we could take off stats class here, Mr. Anderson.
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: I thought it was worth it. Billy, the polls don't
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: open until 9 o'clock. I just wanted to make sure
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: I was first in line.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: Make sure we were good.
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: Make sure everybody was good to go.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: Make sure everything was set up.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: Classic.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: So he's having a bake sale outside of there. Somebody's
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: got to capitalize on it. Make some money.
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: I wish I would start selling stuff outside and they
• 41:49
  Speaker 6: funneled you right in.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Like you could just do a 50 50. See, it
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: was a church, but I don't see why I would
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: churches have raffles.
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: They play bingo probably at the rest of the festival.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: That's a great idea, man. That would be a great idea.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: 50 50. Yeah.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: There are some sporting events tonight, but it's light because
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: of election night.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: Maction night.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: They're playing.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, baby.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: They're playing.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: Come on now.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Let's ride. We're back into Maction.
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: Finally, all is good with this beautiful world. I know
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: we'll be back at it tomorrow. And tomorrow on the program,
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: we'll talk to Bill Schroeder. He couldn't make it today,
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: but we'll kind of put a bow on the Brewer
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: season and talk to Rock a week after the title
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: was secured.
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: Can't wait.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Can't wait for that.
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: And we will start it. We're getting closer and closer.
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: Two Packers at Patriots.
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: And our Thursday night huddle coming up on Thursday at
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: the Pottawatomie Sportsbook.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: Can't wait.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Thanks for hanging out with us. We'll see you
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: again at two tomorrow.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: Peace.
