Speaker 5: Blue Park to see Caleb speaking the third basement, right,
4:24
Speaker 5: So that's the that's.
4:25
Speaker 2: The goal today. The goal today is to get over

4:31
Speaker 5: The Twins complex, right, yeah.
4:32
Speaker 2: And and not like the Twins complex is bad. The
4:36

4:56
Speaker 5: Pool. Wait, we got pool contests.
4:58
Speaker 2: Chorus of booze, Okay.
5:02
Speaker 5: So this is Boston, Like, Uh, so you're saying I
5:06
Speaker 5: could walk around with my Boston references and fit right in.
5:09
Speaker 2: Is that what you would have been naming off all
5:12
Speaker 2: your different neighborhoods that you do in the Boston area,
5:15
Speaker 2: and you would have picked up a couple of cats
5:17
Speaker 2: at the pool yesterday said oh, I'm from Eastbrook. You
5:21
Speaker 2: would have had somebody right out of the gates that
5:22
Speaker 2: would have called you over.
5:23
Speaker 5: You know, one guy.
5:24
Speaker 2: I mean, you should have seen my man's red Sox
5:27
Speaker 2: swim trunks. I was almost jealous from just a fandom perspective. Packers,
5:33
Speaker 2: Packers swim trunks, right, nice bright and fluorescent. You're not
5:36
Speaker 2: gonna like you blue, red, white and blue, little patriotic
5:41

5:46
Speaker 5: like knowing that there's pool games and stuff. Is like
5:48

5:59
Speaker 5: The oh got it, got it, got it, got it.
6:02
Speaker 2: Transported the far you went to a different spot.
6:05
Speaker 5: Got it okay?
6:06
Speaker 2: In in the Fort Myers area, Yes, good call, good call. Now,
6:10
Speaker 2: maybe maybe they put that in here. Maybe that's the
6:13
Speaker 2: way that we don't get kicked off the balcony is
6:16
Speaker 2: if I'm running some pool games.
6:18
Speaker 5: You change the culture, that's.
6:19
Speaker 2: How we change it.
6:20
Speaker 5: We do change the culture, right right, get them used
6:22
Speaker 5: to the music and the noises that that you know,
6:24
Speaker 5: this is next thing. You know, we're at the we're
6:25
Speaker 5: at the day club. That's what they call it in Vegas.
6:28
Speaker 2: Right, it's not just security as the live in studio audience.
6:31
Speaker 2: Maybe we do have a little bit of a breakfast
6:33
Speaker 2: over here. Somebody with a grid all over and we're
6:35
Speaker 2: not active at Yeah, we're not gonna go that far
6:38
Speaker 2: with it.
6:38
Speaker 5: Can I take a minute to address something that seems
6:40
Speaker 5: to be popping up on the comments here on the
6:42
Speaker 5: YouTube and Twitter and stuff before we get to our
6:44
Speaker 5: rein hefal I had that was.
6:46
Speaker 2: Gonna I gotta get to We're gonna you're gonna feel
6:49
Speaker 2: attacked here pretty quick.
6:50
Speaker 5: I gotta get to this because we've had a couple
6:52
Speaker 5: of comments now and some of you have noticed that
6:54
Speaker 5: are very loyal, loyal listeners and watchers of the stream.
6:58
Speaker 1: We appreciate.
6:59
Speaker 5: We appreciate that a lot, and we've been working to
7:01
Speaker 5: improve it every time we can. Is that we have
7:04
Speaker 5: added a music in the breaks. Now, why didn't we
7:07
Speaker 5: have music? Everyone like notices we didn't have music in
7:10
Speaker 5: the breaks, and it threw some people off. I heard
7:12
Speaker 5: from many people, some of my own family, about how
7:14
Speaker 5: we need music in the breaks because it throws them off.
7:16
Speaker 5: They think they lost the stream. Well, we can't play
7:19
Speaker 5: the regular bumps because of the copyrights and our our
7:22
Speaker 5: corporate you know, the copyright, the lawyers, the overlords. I
7:26
Speaker 5: didn't go to law school, unfortunately, so I can't fight
7:29
Speaker 5: those battles. So we just decided to you know, not
7:31
Speaker 5: get sued. And we wanted you to be able to
7:33
Speaker 5: watch the YouTube stream after the show's done and not
7:36
Speaker 5: get it get it taken down. So we haven't had
7:39
Speaker 5: any music. Now, great job by Hunter working hard adding
7:43
Speaker 5: in some copyright free music. So you've heard that, you
7:46
Speaker 5: know a little bit of And then we've had Wisconsin
7:49
Speaker 5: sports fanatic. We've had dream and pop them up here.
7:53
Speaker 5: Where was the other one here? Didn't like that, didn't
7:55
Speaker 5: like the music. Basically, all right, now the.
7:58
Speaker 2: Music it's asking if you're just creating engagement. I knew
8:01
Speaker 2: that one.
8:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So I'm gonna let Hunters say his
8:04
Speaker 5: pis here in a second. But for Dreamy, uh hey,
8:07
Speaker 5: it's not the Beatles. At least some people John gets it. Guys,
8:11
Speaker 5: the music is copyright law. They can't play. We threw
8:14
Speaker 5: in some copyright free music here. Now. If you don't
8:17
Speaker 5: like it, I'm sorry, beggars, cambec choosers. You didn't want
8:20
Speaker 5: you want music during the breaks, you got some music
8:23
Speaker 5: Hunters and we mixed it. Hunter has done a great
8:24
Speaker 5: job makeing up some different music bets here. Uh listen.
8:28
Speaker 5: You know what all I can say is it's gonna
8:31
Speaker 5: be fine. Just take listen to music and enjoy it
8:34
Speaker 5: and have your coffee.
8:35
Speaker 3: Whatever music I chose, yeah, whatever music I chose was
8:40
Speaker 3: likely not going to be universally loved. I mean, it's
8:42
Speaker 3: just when it's just the copyright generic stuff, you're you're
8:46
Speaker 3: you don't have a lot of necessarily variety to work with, right.
8:49
Speaker 3: They're all a variation of the about the same thing.
8:51
Speaker 3: It's about the same beat. It's a you know, I
8:54
Speaker 3: did a little electronic. I did a little that sounded
8:57
Speaker 3: like you seventies eighties. You don't like the last that
8:59
Speaker 3: we very depending upon the break that we are in.
9:03
Speaker 3: Uh So there is a little variety. Because what I
9:05
Speaker 3: didn't want was to do every song the same song,
9:08
Speaker 3: every break, because then it just just get absolutely sick
9:11
Speaker 3: of that one song, so you'll still get.
9:13
Speaker 2: Sick eighties, nineties and now of the copyright free music.
9:16
Speaker 2: You try to mix it in a little bit like
9:18
Speaker 2: exactly he.
9:19
Speaker 5: Dreaming says, it sounds like a bad nineties rape. The
9:22
Speaker 5: problem Dreaming is you clearly, to you that's a negative.
9:25
Speaker 5: If you tell me nineties rave, I'm doing the nineties tech.
9:28
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna give it to you all day, even
9:30
Speaker 5: during the regular bumps, you're getting nineties tech, and all
9:32
Speaker 5: the rest of the day. There you go.
9:33
Speaker 2: And I would, I think this is fun because in
9:38
Speaker 2: all reality I thought you guys put that in, so
9:41
Speaker 2: I didn't think that I lost the connection. Well, in
9:45
Speaker 2: all reality, I didn't realize this was asked for. I
9:48
Speaker 2: thought you guys were doing me a solid. So I
9:50
Speaker 2: appreciate that and the thought that went into it. And again, listen,
9:55
Speaker 2: the visual component of this this program is continuing to
9:59
Speaker 2: evolve and get better with time. So don't I mean, don't,
10:03
Speaker 2: don't put it past this squad to find either even
10:07
Speaker 2: better and even more elevators sounding music during the breaks
10:11
Speaker 2: like I would, I would just I would hold. It
10:15
Speaker 2: does feel like some hold music potentially I would hold
10:18
Speaker 2: because we could get even better, Like we could even
10:20
Speaker 2: get you could get worse, right, could could play it
10:23
Speaker 2: in it'd be even wilder sounding copyright free music. Oh yeah,
10:27
Speaker 2: we gonna have some fun with this. Like there's sure
10:29
Speaker 2: there are spots where we find a possible hindrance. Right,
10:35
Speaker 2: we maybe get kicked off the path, We maybe get
10:37
Speaker 2: kicked out. We do maybe get one or two shows
10:39
Speaker 2: pulled down. Sure, you just unlock a creative genius. And hey,
10:44
Speaker 2: way more dangerous than anybody could have thought of.
10:46
Speaker 5: And hey, you know what, just like us as humans
10:49
Speaker 5: in life, this is not this video stream, the show
10:51
Speaker 5: is not a finished product. We're evolving at all times.
10:54
Speaker 5: We're always learning, growing, we're living, breathing things. So there
10:57
Speaker 5: you go, much like the birs third base position, right,
11:00
Speaker 5: that's exactly right.
11:01
Speaker 1: That is a professional transition right there.
11:05
Speaker 3: Oh and yeah, that that is Armand when Armand goes
11:09
Speaker 3: to sleep tonight, he's gonna be very proud of what.
11:10
Speaker 5: He just did.
11:11
Speaker 2: He's gonna he's gonna pull that to Yeah, he's gonna
11:13
Speaker 2: pull He's gonna pull that one, no doubt about it.
11:15
Speaker 2: But Hunter, we did get to hear from potentially the
11:17
Speaker 2: Brewers new third baseman. I don't want to put limits
11:19
Speaker 2: on Luis Renifo, but I got to assume he's gonna
11:22
Speaker 2: have maybe shots one, two, and three to lock up
11:26
Speaker 2: number position number five on the scorecard.
11:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would be surprised if Luis Renhifo is not
11:32
Speaker 3: the starting third baseman for most of twenty twenty six.
11:35
Speaker 3: I think this is the guy. I think you pay
11:36
Speaker 3: him three and a half million, you bring him in
11:38
Speaker 3: as a free agent.
11:40
Speaker 1: He's a veteran guy.
11:41
Speaker 3: I know he's played most of his career at second base,
11:43
Speaker 3: and to be honest, he's better at second base because
11:45
Speaker 3: his arm isn't, you know, the most accurate or strong
11:49
Speaker 3: when it comes to that third base position. But he's
11:51
Speaker 3: definitely a guy who can be solid at third base.
11:55
Speaker 3: You could argue that he's maybe a little step down
11:57
Speaker 3: defensively from where Caleb Durbin got to last year, But
12:00
Speaker 3: when Caleb Durbin came up, he's still had a lot
12:02
Speaker 3: of work to do.
12:03
Speaker 1: And what I'm really.
12:04
Speaker 3: Excited about at the third base position is where Louise
12:07
Speaker 3: Renhifo can go with Matt Erickson. And it's interesting because
12:10
Speaker 3: Caleb Durbin had his introductory press conference, or he talked
12:13
Speaker 3: to the media for the first time last week and
12:15
Speaker 3: really praised Matt Erickson, who's now the third base coach
12:18
Speaker 3: infield guru for the Brewers, and really praised him and
12:22
Speaker 3: gave him big props for the way he was able
12:25
Speaker 3: to develop at third base last year, that the way
12:28
Speaker 3: he worked with Matt Erickson, talking about Caleb Durbin, the
12:31
Speaker 3: way he worked with Matt Erickson last year and getting
12:33
Speaker 3: better at third base. And so I think Luis Renhifo
12:36
Speaker 3: is going to be the guy. I think they're going
12:38
Speaker 3: to wait with the other young guys to get there.
12:41
Speaker 3: Get again most of those all of the options when
12:45
Speaker 3: it comes to everybody except Jet Williams has not played
12:47
Speaker 3: at triple A yet when you come when you talk
12:49
Speaker 3: about the third base position other than Jet Williams and
12:52
Speaker 3: David Hamilton's obviously a major leaguer, but you talk about
12:54
Speaker 3: Jet Williams thirty four games with triple A. All those
12:56
Speaker 3: other guys, the Wilkins, the Pratt, the Pena, the Midday,
12:59
Speaker 3: all those guys have not Fisher have not even played
13:02
Speaker 3: a Triple A yet. Give them some more time. So
13:04
Speaker 3: I think it's a stop gap guy. But this is
13:06
Speaker 3: what Luis ren he Fo talked about yesterday when it
13:09
Speaker 3: comes to his impression of the Milwaukee Brewers.
13:12
Speaker 5: They go to the play all the time.
13:14
Speaker 7: He saw fun to watch him play, went and I
13:17
Speaker 7: played another team and it's it's really good.
13:20
Speaker 2: It look like a family.
13:22
Speaker 6: At least you mentioned this is a team from the
13:24
Speaker 6: outside that just goes to the playoffs every year. What
13:26
Speaker 6: is it like to be wanted and be on a
13:27
Speaker 6: team like this that has goals and aspirations and islands.
13:30
Speaker 2: It's really fun.
13:30
Speaker 5: It's really fun.
13:31
Speaker 7: So I tell me, we a couple of guys tell
13:34
Speaker 7: me about like how is the house here? How how
13:39
Speaker 7: the guy's thinking?
13:40
Speaker 2: And I love it.
13:41
Speaker 6: And it's still such a young team. Do you feel
13:43
Speaker 6: more like a veteran and an older guy? Do you
13:44
Speaker 6: feel kind of in the middle? Where do you feel?
13:47
Speaker 7: I feel he's I'm a part of these teams. I'm
13:49
Speaker 7: a part of his family and I win.
13:52
Speaker 2: Jared, when you when you've got you know, what was
13:54
Speaker 2: it like for all the other guys talking to you
13:56
Speaker 2: and you walked in. I mean, if you had a
13:58
Speaker 2: chance to even meet everybody.
14:00
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, yeah.
14:00
Speaker 2: The first the first thing I do is like me.
14:02
Speaker 7: Everybody trying to say hello, my name is good and
14:06
Speaker 7: hateful and like trying to be around the group and
14:10
Speaker 7: everybody know, like like.
14:13
Speaker 2: Mid there you go, all right, all right, a couple
14:17
Speaker 2: of things in there. Yeah, good line of questioning by
14:20
Speaker 2: my co host on Badge of Football post game show,
14:22
Speaker 2: Lance Allen. I did appreciate of CBS fifty eight in Milwaukee. Now,
14:30
Speaker 2: I love the it seems like very very humble, happy
14:35
Speaker 2: nature of it. But the question of what does it
14:38
Speaker 2: feel like to be wanted by a playoff caliber team
14:41
Speaker 2: going to a team that makes the playoffs every single year?
14:45
Speaker 2: I think people listen to that and they're like, obviously good,
14:48
Speaker 2: but like you think about it from the perspective of this,
14:51
Speaker 2: Dude's been on teams that I think their most competitive
14:54
Speaker 2: deal was trying to win seventy five games, right, Like,
14:56
Speaker 2: I mean, they've been even horrendous outfits and to get
15:01
Speaker 2: plucked after your worst year to go somewhere else, they
15:07
Speaker 2: clearly see something in you that adds to a team
15:10
Speaker 2: that is going to be pushing in contention, that's a
15:14
Speaker 2: rejuvenating feeling. And I got to assume for Luisa Ranhifo,
15:19
Speaker 2: like this is the call that everybody salivates and waits
15:23
Speaker 2: for when they put in that time in la right like,
15:28
Speaker 2: you see to a different level. Shoe hey, Otani finally
15:32
Speaker 2: got out of there, and now what did he do?
15:34
Speaker 2: He's also the best player we've ever seen win two
15:36
Speaker 2: World Series and become maybe the biggest sports phenomenon in
15:41
Speaker 2: the world bar any sport. Right Like, he is the
15:44
Speaker 2: most famous athlete, I think, hottest athlete right now amongst
15:48
Speaker 2: all professional sports, and it's even gonna get hotter next month.
15:52
Speaker 2: He did that, and he was that player when he
15:54
Speaker 2: was growing up in Anaheim. I'm excited to see what
15:58
Speaker 2: Renhevo is able to do hunter with that opportunity. You
16:01
Speaker 2: mentioned ericson fielding percentages and everything, but it does seem
16:05
Speaker 2: like he's got some tools and maybe better play at
16:09
Speaker 2: third base. Th people would give him credit for.
16:10
Speaker 3: Gold Glove finalists last year at second, so that's significant.
16:14
Speaker 3: You look at the fielding percentage, it does go significantly
16:17
Speaker 3: down when you go from second to third. He was
16:19
Speaker 3: nine to eighty at second base, which is very very good.
16:22
Speaker 3: I mean that's getting towards elite category. Then you go
16:25
Speaker 3: to third base and it's below averages at nine forty eight,
16:29
Speaker 3: and so again that's because of the arm. And so
16:32
Speaker 3: I'm very interested to see what he does and how
16:37
Speaker 3: the Brewers work with him to just look different strategies.
16:42
Speaker 3: You're not necessarily going to reinvent his arm, but you're
16:44
Speaker 3: going to. Okay, how can we compensate for this? How
16:47
Speaker 3: can we have a little bit of a different technique
16:49
Speaker 3: here and different things like that. He was asked yesterday
16:52
Speaker 3: about will he play the third base position for the Brewers.
16:55
Speaker 7: Oh, I'm plays short, second and third base football.
17:00
Speaker 5: Ill feel bad.
17:03
Speaker 7: Bottom a game, and they gave me an opportunity to
17:06
Speaker 7: be with with these guys, and I'm excited.
17:08
Speaker 2: Is your do you like better being at one position?
17:11
Speaker 5: Would you look forward to that opportunity instead of moving
17:15
Speaker 5: around to just be in one spot?
17:17
Speaker 7: So I'm a player, so player, so go and be
17:20
Speaker 7: available to to do.
17:22
Speaker 2: My year every single time when when I be in.
17:24
Speaker 7: The line and I do my debates for the team.
17:28
Speaker 5: It just feels like he's prepared for that question because
17:30
Speaker 5: the way he answered it was so quick and decisive.
17:32
Speaker 5: I'm a player, like He's already been asked that a lot,
17:35
Speaker 5: and he's prepared. I like that. That's that's how you
17:37
Speaker 5: interview you guys with the team. Hey, I'm a player,
17:39
Speaker 5: you put me wherever it takes. But I did though, Yeah,
17:42
Speaker 5: was it interesting there? Was it intentional or not that
17:44
Speaker 5: he said, uh, second, short third lit I feel like
17:47
Speaker 5: was he given that indication that maybe he'd be moving
17:50
Speaker 5: around a lot or is that just something he just
17:52
Speaker 5: said as like understanding the question. I'm not sure how
17:56
Speaker 5: much he translated like, well I can play these positions.
17:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think yeah, yeah, I think it's I mean, look,
18:04
Speaker 3: the Brewers love positional versatility, they love a bunch of
18:07
Speaker 3: different lineups, they love to move guys around, and coming
18:10
Speaker 3: into spring training, I think they're open minded about the
18:12
Speaker 3: infield as a whole.
18:13
Speaker 5: Now.
18:13
Speaker 3: Pat Murphy, in one of his first media sessions said,
18:16
Speaker 3: I think Joey Ortiz our shortstop, but I think Price
18:18
Speaker 3: Trang's our second basement. So that quieted some of that down. However,
18:21
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if sometimes you do see especially
18:25
Speaker 3: if if things aren't going well for some reason, for
18:29
Speaker 3: renhefo to start the year at third base defensively or
18:32
Speaker 3: or Tease is struggling, then you start to shift that around.
18:35
Speaker 3: But I think to start the season Renhifo's at third,
18:38
Speaker 3: or Teases at short, Terrang's at second. You could also
18:41
Speaker 3: argue that maybe you have a better defense with or
18:43
Speaker 3: Tez at third, Bryce Terrang it's short, and Renhifoh at second,
18:47
Speaker 3: But again, I don't know. We haven't seen Terrang it's
18:50
Speaker 3: short and the major league level consistently, so you don't
18:52
Speaker 3: know what you exactly have, And the only time you
18:55
Speaker 3: tried to do it, he got injured, so you still
18:58
Speaker 3: that's that's kind of a unknown there at shortstop. We
19:01
Speaker 3: obviously know how Joy Ortiz played a third. You also
19:04
Speaker 3: love joy Ortis's defense, so him playing shortstop you love
19:07
Speaker 3: as well. But I I think you your maybe your
19:11
Speaker 3: best defensive lineup could be Renhifo at second and then
19:14
Speaker 3: Terrang at short and or T's at third. But again,
19:17
Speaker 3: I don't know if you want to move your entire infield,
19:20
Speaker 3: especially up the middle where it's most important. For a
19:24
Speaker 3: guy who just got into the organization, I really would
19:27
Speaker 3: have liked.
19:27
Speaker 2: To do it last year, right like I really would
19:29
Speaker 2: have liked to be able to do it last year.
19:31
Speaker 2: But Hunter, I just don't know, and and maybe I'm
19:34
Speaker 2: thinking too much of it. I don't know. How much
19:36
Speaker 2: you can do it When Bryce Terang's gonna be playing
19:38
Speaker 2: second base all through the WBC, Yeah, I mean he's
19:42
Speaker 2: gonna be playing alongside Bobby Witt Junior. Now there's a
19:46
Speaker 2: lot of guys that you might potentially want to sub
19:48
Speaker 2: in Bobby Baseball ain't somebody that they're gonna take out
19:51
Speaker 2: of there at shortstop. He's gonna play short and then
19:53
Speaker 2: Bryce is gonna play second. So if he was going
19:56
Speaker 2: to be able to play it and train it all
19:58
Speaker 2: off season in all CA, then I'd be Then I'd
20:01
Speaker 2: be then I would be very interested with having two
20:04
Speaker 2: legit Golgov caliber players up the middle and the opportunity
20:08
Speaker 2: for Joey Ortiz to hit his way into being your
20:11
Speaker 2: third basement for the entire year, or hit his way
20:15
Speaker 2: out of the third base spot, and allow one of
20:17
Speaker 2: these young players to have and make a special story
20:21
Speaker 2: of themselves and run into the big leagues after just
20:24
Speaker 2: two months in Triple A and see what they could do.
20:27
Speaker 2: Or you know, maybe they don't. Maybe it is like
20:29
Speaker 2: Brett Batty, I believe, is the name of the Mets
20:32
Speaker 2: third base prospect that everybody talked about for a year,
20:35
Speaker 2: and I think he hit two twelve. So like, there's
20:37
Speaker 2: that he's not the first young player Joey Ortiz to struggle.
20:41
Speaker 2: But let's let's call it what it is. All those
20:44
Speaker 2: conversations we had are moot. If Joey Ortiz can be
20:48
Speaker 2: in average offensive player at shortstop, then I think a
20:51
Speaker 2: lot of their problems are solved.
20:52
Speaker 5: Yeah.
20:52
Speaker 3: I mean, I was just watching some video Ortiz yesterday
20:55
Speaker 3: that people are posting from spring training, and he's just
20:57
Speaker 3: so smooth. He's just so small moved defensively, and you
21:01
Speaker 3: just want that guy on the field, and especially at
21:04
Speaker 3: arguably the most important position on the infield at shortstop.
21:08
Speaker 3: You want a guy like Joey Ortiz there. You speak
21:10
Speaker 3: of the other infielders the Brewers have. This is what
21:12
Speaker 3: Renhifel said when asked about the great defense he'll have
21:15
Speaker 3: around him.
21:16
Speaker 7: I feel really good, really good, because I see your learning.
21:20
Speaker 2: I'm learning for a hand for them, and they can
21:23
Speaker 2: learn for men to do.
21:24
Speaker 7: So he's gonna be it's gonna be fun fun year
21:28
Speaker 7: and like and I'll say before I'm here to play
21:32
Speaker 7: so hard and doing what I can do with there.
21:36
Speaker 5: You go hard with your best.
21:38
Speaker 2: The only thing you can do with your best and
21:41
Speaker 2: in a year that you know, listen, three and a
21:44
Speaker 2: half million bucks is nothing to sneeze at, but it's
21:46
Speaker 2: not the major league contract that you're hoping to hit
21:49
Speaker 2: when you reach free agency, right and you have a
21:51
Speaker 2: year where you hit three hundred at one point. So
21:54
Speaker 2: he's he's coming into it highly, highly motivated. And what
21:58
Speaker 2: twenty eight, twenty nine years old, that's generally when they
22:01
Speaker 2: tell or twenty six years old, that's usually right around
22:03
Speaker 2: twenty nine when they tell you you're gonna be hitting
22:05
Speaker 2: your athletic prime. Right, So he's he's in that wheelhouse
22:08
Speaker 2: where a career year not only is the greatest thing
22:12
Speaker 2: for the Milwaukee Brewers, but the best thing for his
22:14
Speaker 2: entire career, because he's got then the potential to be
22:17
Speaker 2: a three year contract eye coming in next year. Do
22:19
Speaker 2: we have more from Renhifo or one more.
22:22
Speaker 1: One more quick one?
22:23
Speaker 3: Because he talked about his interactions with Pat Murphy, not
22:26
Speaker 3: just when when he got to Arizona, but also it
22:28
Speaker 3: sounds like he had interacted with him, you know, before
22:31
Speaker 3: games before, So this is renhepo time about Murph.
22:34
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's really good Morphela because all the time when
22:37
Speaker 7: when we play when I play in our team, So
22:40
Speaker 7: I say hello all the time when when I when
22:42
Speaker 7: I goes to the box, and just a lot of respect,
22:45
Speaker 7: a lot of aloa he do. And you know, I'm
22:49
Speaker 7: a player, so I'm excited to be here and you
22:53
Speaker 7: know a lot of things to win a.
22:56
Speaker 5: Lot of games.
22:57
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna like this guy.
22:58
Speaker 4: I really do.
22:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, from the first impression, I think we're gonna like
23:02
Speaker 3: this guy. And he has a he has a high
23:03
Speaker 3: ceiling offensively, I mean he has a higher I think
23:06
Speaker 3: higher ceiling probably than Durbin at third base. His twenty
23:11
Speaker 3: twenty five was not as good as Caleb Durbins was.
23:13
Speaker 3: If you just look at the numbers, it clearly wasn't.
23:16
Speaker 3: And who knows where Durbin goes, but especially maybe some
23:20
Speaker 3: pop maybe you know, just like you said twenty twenty four,
23:23
Speaker 3: he hit three hundred I know is only seventy eight games.
23:25
Speaker 3: He had the wrist injury risk surgery, but and that's
23:28
Speaker 3: something else to watch risk surgery in August of twenty
23:31
Speaker 3: twenty four than a rough twenty twenty five. You know,
23:34
Speaker 3: does he is he able to kind of come back
23:37
Speaker 3: from that is the right There were no questions about
23:40
Speaker 3: that yesterday, and I'm not saying it's still affecting him,
23:42
Speaker 3: but it's something to think about.
23:44
Speaker 2: I also think Hunter, like you just look at some
23:47
Speaker 2: of the counting numbers as well. Sure, the three hundred
23:51
Speaker 2: is one that a lot of guys will like, and
23:53
Speaker 2: myself included, But at times he hit double digit bombs,
23:57
Speaker 2: at times he had double digit steals, right, twenty steals,
23:59
Speaker 2: and for a year, there's seventeen homers there in a
24:02
Speaker 2: year and not a you know, massive pitchers park, but
24:06
Speaker 2: not the easiest place to knock the ball out of
24:09
Speaker 2: in La. So I'm I'm excited. He also seems like
24:13
Speaker 2: a player that fits out the profile exceptionally well. He
24:17
Speaker 2: can run a little bit, he can bat the ball
24:19
Speaker 2: around the yard a little bit, and clearly sounds like
24:21
Speaker 2: a very very personable guy. And let's be honest, you
24:24
Speaker 2: need some more veterans in that clubhouse. However much you
24:28
Speaker 2: count on veteran leadership, quote unquote, you do need some vets.
24:34
Speaker 2: And when you have the young one of the younger
24:36
Speaker 2: teams in ball, while experience still very young, I don't
24:39
Speaker 2: think it's a bad thing to have more guys that
24:41
Speaker 2: have seen a lot of stuff in Major League Baseball.
24:43
Speaker 5: That half good stuff Hunter good stuff.
24:45
Speaker 3: One more quick thing if he if the his swing
24:49
Speaker 3: decisions are not exceptional at the moment. But the Brewers
24:53
Speaker 3: really worked on that with Andrew Vaughn. We remember the
24:55
Speaker 3: quote from Pat Murphy, you know, swing it strikes, it's
24:57
Speaker 3: not going to play. Basically, they can help that as well,
25:01
Speaker 3: and that will help that average go up. That'll get
25:04
Speaker 3: him on base more, and so I'm eager to see
25:06
Speaker 3: what they can do offensively with him. We talked about
25:08
Speaker 3: the pitching and how the Brewers get the guys in
25:10
Speaker 3: there and they're able to develop them. They can also
25:12
Speaker 3: do that with hitters they did with Vaughn last year.
25:14
Speaker 3: It could be at a Vaughn type of signing for
25:16
Speaker 3: twenty twenty s.
25:17
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Brewers look at themselves that way, as with
25:19
Speaker 5: pitchers too, right, guys. Yeah, they can be the team
25:21
Speaker 5: to mold this piece of clay into an a finished product,
25:25
Speaker 5: or at least a more developed product than he was before.
25:27
Speaker 5: And they came in, they have ideas for these guys,
25:28
Speaker 5: and they bring him in totally.
25:30
Speaker 2: We just now have to find a way to be
25:32
Speaker 2: able to claim some type of credit for Renhifo. Right,
25:36
Speaker 2: like we were able to get the little bit of
25:38
Speaker 2: shred of credit for the Andrew Vaughan deal, right, we
25:40
Speaker 2: were at the ballpark day to acquire and for Baro Palusa,
25:44
Speaker 2: obviously it was it was a little bit of station picks.
25:46
Speaker 2: He does as why he was the best. So now
25:49
Speaker 2: we need to find a way for that to be
25:50
Speaker 2: Louise Renhivo, we've got six weeks fellas well, five weeks,
25:55
Speaker 2: five weeks from opening day tomorrow, if my math is
25:58
Speaker 2: not if my math is.
25:59
Speaker 3: Correct, right, yeah, because it's a month from a week
26:01
Speaker 3: from tomorrow. Well, that was a really complicated way to
26:04
Speaker 3: say March twenty six.
26:09
Speaker 5: Yep, I know that day very well, what's that That's
26:13
Speaker 5: the day I'm gonna be off that day. I'm going
26:16
Speaker 5: that's that's the day. That's the day I'm off to
26:18
Speaker 5: the desert. No, I just know that day. Well, you know,
26:20
Speaker 5: it's just you can think of it. Well, I got that.
26:22
Speaker 1: I know that day, well, MARCHI that's the day.
26:26
Speaker 5: I know. Well you had to think of that day,
26:27
Speaker 5: you know, so not like you're excited at alls, are
26:31
Speaker 5: going to be one to know, so we're gonna know
26:33
Speaker 5: that day.
26:33
Speaker 2: Well, it's gonna be awesome. You'll be able to bet
26:35
Speaker 2: the Brewers in Vegas. That's what excited well, not nearly
26:39
Speaker 2: as fun as betting them at the Waday Sports but

27:43
Speaker 2: I was just I was just regaling myself of some
27:45
Speaker 2: of the titles. Jewel is up there as well. We

27:53
Speaker 2: kind of fun. Good check out.
27:54
Speaker 5: But there was that Dolph really quick would have loved
27:57
Speaker 5: that Mickey Mantle book you pulled out. There's a Mickey
27:59
Speaker 5: man book. Really yeah, And Dulph, I know you were
28:02
Speaker 5: Yankee guys.
28:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, I may have read that. It's called seven or.
28:05
Speaker 2: The Last Boy Mickey Mantle.
28:07
Speaker 8: I you know, I'm too I'm even too young and
28:09
Speaker 8: I'm old. I'm even too young to remember Mickey Mantle playing.
28:12
Speaker 8: But I've heard stories. The dude was just legendary. Unfortunately,
28:17
Speaker 8: you know, medical back then wasn't like what it is
28:21
Speaker 8: today in Major League Baseball.
28:22
Speaker 4: Not to mention, he was a legendary party or.
28:25
Speaker 5: The off the field. So people always say, like, look
28:28
Speaker 5: what he did when he was doing all that and
28:29
Speaker 5: not always healthy. What would he have done if he
28:31
Speaker 5: was always healthy and himself? It knows though, maybe that
28:34
Speaker 5: was part of his strength.
28:36
Speaker 8: I mean, he he unseated Joe freaking DiMaggio as Yankee
28:40
Speaker 8: swet center fielder.
28:41
Speaker 2: Right, how about this? One January nineteen fifty seven, Mantle
28:45
Speaker 2: took a break from Rubbert Chicken. To some people, hear
28:48
Speaker 2: that what uh to take a break from Rubbert Chicken
28:52
Speaker 2: to negotiate a new contract with George Weiss. He asked
28:55
Speaker 2: for sixty five thousand dollars twice in nineteen fifty six
29:00
Speaker 2: for a salary. The general manager replied with a threat,
29:03
Speaker 2: slamming a fat file full of incriminating evidence.
29:07
Speaker 5: On his desk. See they caught the case.
29:08
Speaker 2: Billy Martin and Mickey Mantle left at six pm. I
29:12
Speaker 2: came back in at three forty seven. A.
29:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was like, you know, it's like Vincent with Max.
29:17
Speaker 5: I always have you sneaking on curfew. If you if
29:20
Speaker 5: you started giving me a problem, I'm gonna find you,
29:22
Speaker 5: all right.
29:23
Speaker 8: So those those guys, Billy Martin, Mickey Mantle and Whitey
29:26
Speaker 8: Ford was the third one. Apparently they were legendary. They
29:29
Speaker 8: were They were club kings in New York City. And
29:31
Speaker 8: the one story, and I'll condense this that sticks out
29:34
Speaker 8: that I heard fight the fight. No, they went to
29:37
Speaker 8: Mantles from Oklahoma and they'd go back there to hunt
29:40
Speaker 8: in the off season every year, and so he brought
29:42
Speaker 8: Billy Martin, who that that guy was probably the wildest
29:46
Speaker 8: of all three of them.
29:46
Speaker 4: And Whitey Ford with them to hunt.
29:48
Speaker 8: And they're at this farmer and Mickey says, I just
29:51
Speaker 8: need to get permission to go up to hunt. So
29:52
Speaker 8: he knocks on the door and the farmers absolutely mack
29:55
Speaker 8: anything for you. He says, but could could you do
29:57
Speaker 8: me a favor. I've got an old mayor thirty years old,
30:01
Speaker 8: great old horse, but she's in a lot of paint.
30:02
Speaker 8: Would you mind putting her out of You brought your guns,
30:05
Speaker 8: and can you put her out of her misery?
30:07
Speaker 4: Because yeah, I can do that for you.
30:08
Speaker 8: So he goes back down and he thinks he's gonna
30:11
Speaker 8: play a joke on Billy Martin and said that s
30:14
Speaker 8: O b I've been coming here from. He's not gonna
30:16
Speaker 8: let us hunt. I can't believe this. And he goes,
30:18
Speaker 8: you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna shoot his
30:20
Speaker 8: damn horse, and he walks behind the barn. Billy's like,
30:22
Speaker 8: loser his mind, you.
30:23
Speaker 5: Can't you can't shoot his horse.
30:24
Speaker 4: We're gonna go to jail.
30:25
Speaker 8: And he goes, he goes okay, you know, so Mannald
30:29
Speaker 8: goes back in kaboom, he shoots the horse and he's
30:31
Speaker 8: laughing and he's rolling. He gives it time, and then
30:33
Speaker 8: as he's walking back he hears two big gunshots go
30:36
Speaker 8: off and Billy Martin comes run around.
30:38
Speaker 2: Goes, I got two of his cows.
30:39
Speaker 5: Let's get out of here. Oh my god. Supposedly a
30:44
Speaker 5: true story. It could be those guys had wild stories,
30:48
Speaker 5: you know. That is what the Internet times.
30:52
Speaker 2: Now. The crazy thing is, is it bad that I
30:54
Speaker 2: believe that one way more than I believe that he
30:56
Speaker 2: had a five hundred and sixty seven.
30:57
Speaker 5: Film, because that's a lot more believable fire sixty.
31:01
Speaker 4: I've seen the illustration, you know.
31:02
Speaker 8: Well, I don't think there was live video of the
31:04
Speaker 8: just draw a picture and landed on some old woman's ports, right.
31:08
Speaker 5: It was in d C. They found.
31:11
Speaker 3: She probably caught it that.
31:12
Speaker 5: Maybe we should.
31:15
Speaker 2: Do an old that's how she tells the story.
31:16
Speaker 5: Maybe we should let she was there too. Maybe we
31:19
Speaker 5: should let golf do an old Yankee story every day.
31:21
Speaker 5: But that's the last I thought you were gonna mention
31:23
Speaker 5: the fight at the Copa Cabana when Billy Martin beat
31:26
Speaker 5: that bowling team up in the bathroom or whatever, and
31:28
Speaker 5: they traded him.
31:29
Speaker 8: Billy Martin was a piece of work until the day
31:32
Speaker 8: got tragically. I think he died on like Christmas night.
31:35
Speaker 5: It is the front of his driveway, probably driving unfortunately.
31:39
Speaker 5: When do you get fired six seven times? Yeah, it's
31:43
Speaker 5: crazy story, yeah, but but there you go. Yankee story.
31:46
Speaker 5: I love it, so hold on.
31:48
Speaker 2: Player for the Yankees wild Card, then manager for the
31:51
Speaker 2: Yankees even bigger wild Card and story oh yeah, that's.
31:55
Speaker 5: When him and Reggie Jackson had to fight in the dugout,
31:57
Speaker 5: and and him and Steinbrenner seven seventy seventy eight seasons, right,
32:01
Speaker 5: they went back and forth.
32:02
Speaker 4: He was a little guy. He just didn't take any
32:04
Speaker 4: grief from anybody. Uh. I think he managed a bunch
32:07
Speaker 4: of teams, right.
32:08
Speaker 5: Tigers, Minnesota, Yeah, in Oakland.
32:12
Speaker 4: He'll always remembered for the Tigers.
32:14
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, there you go, there you go. But it
32:16
Speaker 5: was a good player. I mean, he was the World
32:18
Speaker 5: Series MVP. I believe, one of those one of those
32:20
Speaker 5: World Series years, right, and those those teams were loaded
32:23
Speaker 5: with Hall of famers of course, yeah, Milwaukee guy in
32:25
Speaker 5: those teams, Tony Kubac Tony Kuback.
32:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, there we go. I listen. I like that, you
32:29
Speaker 2: guys just localized that right there.
32:31
Speaker 4: That I talked about it back home.
32:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, I noticed there was only
32:37
Speaker 2: the books and the titles that I'm finding here. There's
32:39
Speaker 2: also a little workout room here behind me, Dolph. Now,
32:42
Speaker 2: I'm surprised no one's using it, like I definitely thought.
32:45
Speaker 2: I definitely thought that they got a lot of workout
32:47
Speaker 2: and a lot of work in there. However, they got
32:49
Speaker 2: some of the best motivational posters that I think I've
32:52
Speaker 2: ever seen.
32:53
Speaker 5: Like the ones in the guidance counselor's office and in.
32:55
Speaker 4: Elementary school, the kitten hanging off the clothes line you can.
32:58
Speaker 2: Do, the one that just read your body could do it.
33:03
Speaker 2: Now you need to convince your.
33:04
Speaker 5: Mind that's a powerful I need.
33:08
Speaker 1: One of those not ready to take on a Wednesday.
33:11
Speaker 2: The only bad workout is the one you don't do.
33:15
Speaker 5: Let's go.
33:15
Speaker 8: I love that one you talk about a bar that
33:18
Speaker 8: should have been that is.
33:19
Speaker 5: So closely You guys, remember the motivational posters that were
33:22
Speaker 5: in like all these like office conference rooms in like
33:25
Speaker 5: the nineties and two thousands, where we just have one
33:27
Speaker 5: thing like focus the moment where the mind meets and
33:31
Speaker 5: it was like a picture of the globe or something
33:32
Speaker 5: like that. You remember, anybody know that that was a
33:34
Speaker 5: popular I know what you're talking about. That was a
33:36
Speaker 5: popular run for a while.
33:37
Speaker 8: Of those things, my favorite one was in the late
33:39
Speaker 8: nineteen nineties at this company when we were purchased by
33:42
Speaker 8: then Clear Channel now iHeart. They had some illustrations and
33:45
Speaker 8: one was, uh one was a little guy with the
33:47
Speaker 8: trench coat on and his his pockets were overflowing with money,
33:51
Speaker 8: just green you know, green backs everywhere, but his arms
33:54
Speaker 8: were like a trannosaurs wrex. So basically the message to
33:57
Speaker 8: all the employees was we're gonna make a lot of money,
33:59
Speaker 8: but we're not going to hand.
34:01
Speaker 4: Much out to y'all, so get ready.
34:03
Speaker 5: Geez. Well that was before they became iHeart. That was
34:07
Speaker 5: the other company.
34:08
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, what was the same company, just a different name,
34:11
Speaker 8: Clear Channel, Yeah, yeah, same.
34:13
Speaker 2: Really really cool how they kept the same mission statement
34:15
Speaker 2: eight seven seven seven nine four one nine seven three.
34:18
Speaker 7: Uh.
34:18
Speaker 2: Now, guys, as you've continued to hang out with us
34:21
Speaker 2: and people have throughout the week, people are asking us
34:24
Speaker 2: how the pool is it's been good, but Dolf, yesterday
34:26
Speaker 2: we went to the Margaritaville spot down here in in
34:30
Speaker 2: Fort Myers. We I know, we talked Jimmy Buffett and
34:33
Speaker 2: some country guys earlier in the week that that whole
34:36
Speaker 2: area that that model. Do you think we ever see
34:41
Speaker 2: somebody replicate that? Or is that now what Nashville fully
34:44
Speaker 2: has become, Because everybody says like you could put a
34:47
Speaker 2: name on a bar, and I think Blake Shelton is
34:50
Speaker 2: the only one that I think has had one outside
34:51
Speaker 2: of Nashville that I can remember.
34:55
Speaker 8: Red Toby Keith had a franchise with those things too,
34:58
Speaker 8: he had six or I love this bars around the
35:02
Speaker 8: country from Detroit.
35:03
Speaker 2: To Vegas, ent Okay.
35:05
Speaker 4: And I think even though he's gone, there's still one
35:07
Speaker 4: in Oklahoma.
35:07
Speaker 2: City, Okay. Because it's just like I mean, I'm looking
35:11
Speaker 2: around here, there's a lot of people ready to listen
35:13
Speaker 2: to some music. And it didn't matter what you were putting,
35:15
Speaker 2: you were serving drinks, there was a pool, there was
35:18
Speaker 2: somen pe were gonna have a good time. Like if
35:20
Speaker 2: I am Luke Combs, Luke Bryan, Jason Alden, I'm finding
35:25
Speaker 2: any way possible to throw my name on one of
35:27
Speaker 2: these things and grab into some money, because it feels
35:29
Speaker 2: like that is a hotbed for fun and folks that
35:34
Speaker 2: want to say, Hey, that guy reminds me of when
35:37
Speaker 2: I was having even more fun in the pool, drinking
35:40
Speaker 2: even more twelve through or fourteen dollars Margarita's, and I
35:43
Speaker 2: want to go to that guy's place.
35:45
Speaker 4: I think there's more.
35:48
Speaker 8: Country music megastars with huge bars in Nashville right now
35:51
Speaker 8: than there is without.
35:52
Speaker 4: I mean, you can't. Everyone's gone with anyone.
35:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then you mentioned Red in Vegas that's done
35:58
Speaker 5: so well. Who that was Blake Shelton's, right, Yeah, So
36:03
Speaker 5: I think because everyone's a copycat, right, because they're trying
36:05
Speaker 5: to it's a business opportunity. I think Al Dean and
36:08
Speaker 5: Luke Colmes are both opening bars in Vegas on the
36:11
Speaker 5: Strip because Olred has done well. Yeah, there you go.
36:13
Speaker 8: And ironically those two bars are connected in Nashville, those
36:17
Speaker 8: two guys you just mentioned. Then right across the street
36:19
Speaker 8: is all read Blake Shelton's. Aldred in Nashville is six
36:23
Speaker 8: stories high. It's an old bank building. It's incredible and
36:27
Speaker 8: I haven't been to Nashville in a few years, but
36:29
Speaker 8: I hear there are Morgan wall In and Erek Church.
36:31
Speaker 8: They're all like, just like it's the Disney World for
36:35
Speaker 8: country partiers to go.
36:37
Speaker 2: This was the first George straight Man.
36:39
Speaker 8: I don't even I mean, you probably have to go
36:42
Speaker 8: way back into the probably the sixties or seventies.
36:44
Speaker 4: That's a good point. One of the first ones I
36:47
Speaker 4: remember in the modern era was big and rich.
36:50
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, they had one. You know, it all started
36:53
Speaker 8: in Nashville with the New Nashville. I think with like
36:55
Speaker 8: the Wild Horse Saloon. You have the old school bars
36:57
Speaker 8: that are by the Grand Oll Lopperry, the Rhyman Auditorium,
37:00
Speaker 8: Tootsies and stuff like that. But I remember when the
37:02
Speaker 8: Wildhorse Loon started, then you started seeing all the themes there.
37:04
Speaker 5: You go, yeah, yeah, now we're talking.
37:07
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, now I will say, Dolph, you you mentioned it,
37:10
Speaker 2: and and I don't. I think I've been to Nashville twice,
37:13
Speaker 2: so I can't consider myself the Nashville guy where it's like, yeah,
37:16
Speaker 2: would you got to go to this spot if you
37:18
Speaker 2: really want to go have fun? Tutsies is still going
37:22
Speaker 2: to be the same. This place that I think is
37:24
Speaker 2: nearest and dearest to everyone that goes to Nashville's heart.
37:27
Speaker 8: It's it comes back to like the birth of country
37:29
Speaker 8: music almost because at the back if you got the
37:32
Speaker 8: back door of Tutsies, you go into the back door
37:33
Speaker 8: of the of the original grandel Opry, which is the
37:35
Speaker 8: Ryman Auditorium, the mother church of country music. So the
37:38
Speaker 8: stories that Tutsies are legendary. Hank Williams, guys like that
37:41
Speaker 8: would on a break from the Opry would walk out,
37:44
Speaker 8: go into Tutsies, drink their fill, and then go back
37:46
Speaker 8: and do their second set.
37:47
Speaker 5: Amazing. Wow.
37:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's right there on the corner Fourth and Broadway, and.
37:51
Speaker 2: It's where my buddy Ryan almost fell over really when
37:54
Speaker 2: he decided that he was going to go to the rooftop.
37:56
Speaker 2: They pull the they pull the uh. It's basically like
37:59
Speaker 2: an attic door right to get up to the top.
38:01
Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, buddy, I think we're done. It's his
38:04
Speaker 2: bachelor party, right, I'm like, why don't why don't we
38:07
Speaker 2: go get some burgers? Why don't we know? I need
38:10
Speaker 2: to see this place. He took one step on that
38:11
Speaker 2: bad boy Dolph. I've never seen somebody regretted decisions. Turned
38:15
Speaker 2: right around. He said, thanks Bill, what a beautiful beautiful
38:20
Speaker 2: establishment do always appreciated. Brother. We we do have Mike
38:24
Speaker 2: White asking us who would win in a spelling bee.
38:26
Speaker 2: So I think we're gonna have to solve that conversation.
38:28
Speaker 4: Good luck.
38:30
Speaker 5: I have no idea. We'll work on that between all
38:33
Speaker 5: of us.
38:33
Speaker 4: It wouldn't be me I become such a dummy.
38:36
Speaker 8: Especially thank god win autocorrect.
38:42
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, as long as you don't throw
38:44
Speaker 2: risk even there, I might have a chance.
38:45
Speaker 5: I still I'm gonna give you guys a run though.
38:47
Speaker 5: Don't get me wrong.
38:49
Speaker 4: I still have with with dessert and desert that's tough.
38:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the desert.
38:58
Speaker 5: A news the paper and is a lake. That's a
39:00
Speaker 5: totally different deal.
39:02
Speaker 2: Now mine just blowing. Is got Dolphin hanging out with us.
39:08
Speaker 2: It's the Huddle off Fox Sports Radio with Scott So
39:10
Speaker 2: we're back after this with our superhero of the day
39:13
Speaker 2: up back on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. I'm Billy schmid Arman,
39:17
Speaker 2: Sorry and right there and Hunter bombguard in for Drew Olson.
39:20
Speaker 2: Time now for our current electric superhero of the day.
39:24
Speaker 2: We know sports. You might not always agree with our takes,
39:27
Speaker 2: but listen, we know some things about sports. We don't
39:29
Speaker 2: know much about electrical issues. No, I mean, sure, we
39:33
Speaker 2: can change the light bulb. That's about it. After that,
39:35
Speaker 2: we're gonna call the superheroes from Current Electric. You should too.
39:37
Speaker 2: There are a lot of companies to choose from when
39:39
Speaker 2: you're in need of electrical services in your home or business.
39:43
Speaker 2: But allow Current Electric to chance to earn your trust
39:46
Speaker 2: and earn your business. Go to call Current dot Com.
39:48
Speaker 2: That's call Current dot Com for more information. Current Electric
39:52
Speaker 2: home of the Superheroes and fellas. There's a lot of
39:57
Speaker 2: different ways that we could roll with the superhero of
40:00
Speaker 2: the day here today. But after he just got me
40:03
Speaker 2: my third cup of coffee while providing some not only
40:08
Speaker 2: elite show security on top of now trying to seemingly
40:12
Speaker 2: fantastasize the in studio listening audience. I thought about giving
40:16
Speaker 2: I thought about giving it to my dad. I think
40:18
Speaker 2: thought about giving it to a big bill.
40:19
Speaker 5: I think they is that about it? Is that the
40:23
Speaker 5: Is that what it's gonna be? Or you'd make another
40:25
Speaker 5: decision here.
40:26
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to call an
40:28
Speaker 2: audible all at the line of scrimmage, because after after
40:31
Speaker 2: hanging out and rolling through the first hour and fifty
40:36
Speaker 2: minutes of the program, right before he's about to get
40:39
Speaker 2: an award. Yeah, it's out here hanging out with the boys,
40:42
Speaker 2: just outside. Just missed the opportunity to be today's current
40:46
Speaker 2: electric super hero of the day.
40:48
Speaker 5: He had his chance. He went to the bathroom when
40:50
Speaker 5: they called his name, you know, for the award. That's
40:53
Speaker 5: kind of like I always thought, the nightmare scenario if
40:55
Speaker 5: you're in one of those award shows and you're in
40:58
Speaker 5: the bathroom while they call your name, you know, you
41:00
Speaker 5: don't hear about it. So it's tough. It's tough because
41:02
Speaker 5: he did the work, he just didn't He wasn't there
41:05
Speaker 5: when it was time. You know, that's tough, tough.
41:08
Speaker 2: What do I What would I always say at football feast?
41:11
Speaker 3: That's exactly what just popped into my mind was was
41:15
Speaker 3: you gotta be in there and you just you cannot
41:19
Speaker 3: be outside in the bathroom when we are giving away
41:22
Speaker 3: those packers tickes. Got to be present to wins.
41:24
Speaker 2: Not the time to go have a black and mild take,
41:27
Speaker 2: take a bathroom break. It's the last time to leave
41:30
Speaker 2: is when the awards are given out.
41:32
Speaker 1: And it would happen, It would happen, It.
41:34
Speaker 2: Would have happened. It was it was so so close.
41:37
Speaker 2: He was that that dangerously close to potentially being the
41:41
Speaker 2: current electric superhero of the day. So now we have
41:44
Speaker 2: to pivot. Now we have to think of something different.
41:46
Speaker 2: And as much as I was hoping to be able
41:47
Speaker 2: to say it would be the Wisconsin Badgers after following
41:50
Speaker 2: up the impressive run of games that they had over
41:54
Speaker 2: the last couple of days, Armann, can we consider Ohio
41:57
Speaker 2: State the rake stepped on last night, because uh, that
42:01
Speaker 2: was a buzz saw shooting performance. Yeah, the buck I
42:04
Speaker 2: put on last night on that solid, great court.
42:06
Speaker 5: Yes, and no, I mean they're kind of a bubble
42:09
Speaker 5: team and I would say they're probably in the tournament
42:12
Speaker 5: right now if you if you started at Ohio State.
42:15
Speaker 5: Bruce Thornton was really really good last night. They were
42:17
Speaker 5: at home, obviously needed to win over a newly ranked
42:20
Speaker 5: Badger team who just entered the top twenty five. So
42:24
Speaker 5: I want to say it was a total rake, but
42:26
Speaker 5: in in that category In some ways, the Big ten's
42:29
Speaker 5: just so competitive.
42:32
Speaker 2: But when you're gonna go up against a team that's
42:34
Speaker 2: gonna shoot fifty two from three.
42:37
Speaker 1: They were so hard to beat them.
42:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're you're gonna lose those games, and that
42:41
Speaker 2: that's a tough deal to be able to stop, even
42:43
Speaker 2: though Carrington was good in response. Badgers get a chance
42:47
Speaker 2: to brush that off with a win against Iowa hopefully
42:50
Speaker 2: coming up on Sunday at the.
42:52
Speaker 5: Coach And they just beat Nebraska last night, so it's
42:54
Speaker 5: a competitive conference, no doubt.
42:57
Speaker 2: After Iowa just got their doors blown off by Purdue. Yeah,
43:00
Speaker 2: I mean just got molly wopped by Purdue. And then
43:03
Speaker 2: I'm watching the Purdue game last night and they're getting
43:06
Speaker 2: packed by Michigan. So it is a phenomenal Big Ten
43:09
Speaker 2: right now. Good run of games. Tough one for the
43:12
Speaker 2: Badgers last night. We're back after this with our number
43:14
Speaker 2: three of the Huddle Hunter in for Drew today on
43:16
Speaker 2: the Game
