Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Good afternoon, Wisconsin, and welcome to the huddle. It's time
- 0:12Speaker 1: to talk about the teams you love with the guys
- 0:14Speaker 1: you love.
- 0:15Speaker 2: That's us. Boys, that's us.
- 0:17Speaker 1: Watch us on YouTube.
- 0:18Speaker 3: Build content.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Just search Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin.
- 0:21Speaker 3: You are looking live.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Now, gather around because it's time to huddle up.
- 0:26Speaker 2: We know exactly what we got to do. All right?
- 0:29Speaker 2: Let's go out and kick some shit.
- 0:31Speaker 4: One, two, three.
- 0:31Speaker 3: We got some big plays coming.
- 0:33Speaker 1: What the hell's going on?
- 0:35Speaker 2: The boys are back. The Huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
- 0:40Speaker 2: Drew Wilson, Bill Schmidt, Armin Sarian.
- 1:05Speaker 5: On a Tuesday in the good land, World Series Tuesday.
- 1:08Speaker 5: Remember waiting all day till Sunday night? Remember how quaint
- 1:10Speaker 5: it was that we had to wait till Sunday for
- 1:12Speaker 5: a Packers game? Now we got to wait till Friday
- 1:14Speaker 5: for a Brewers game. It seems like forever since the
- 1:16Speaker 5: Brewers played.
- 1:17Speaker 4: Yeah, and Drew, for a game and a sport that
- 1:19Speaker 4: becomes such a nightly companion, these off days stink.
- 1:23Speaker 2: I'm glad the team gets them. They need them.
- 1:27Speaker 4: But as the fans, it's kind of tough. Like, what
- 1:29Speaker 4: am I going to do tonight? Watch reruns of Charmed?
- 1:33Speaker 4: Watch Game Show Network.
- 1:34Speaker 2: What are you going to do?
- 1:34Speaker 4: I'd watch some chain reaction on the Game Show Network.
- 1:37Speaker 4: I'll tell you that much right now.
- 1:39Speaker 6: There's definitely an anticipation level where now it's Tuesday, but
- 1:42Speaker 6: we're going to be getting to these next couple days,
- 1:44Speaker 6: and it's going to be like, let's get this thing started.
- 1:46Speaker 2: We're in the fall classic. Let's get it going. Let's
- 1:49Speaker 2: get it. Look at the schedule. It is going to
- 1:52Speaker 2: be an interesting situation if this goes game seven.
- 1:54Speaker 6: We talked a little bit about it yesterday, I think,
- 1:56Speaker 6: but with the trick-or-treating situation. But, I mean, not interesting
- 2:00Speaker 6: for me, because luckily, like, you know, it's still not
- 2:04Speaker 6: the age that we have to go around.
- 2:05Speaker 2: We might do it, but it's like.
- 2:06Speaker 3: Hold on, what?
- 2:07Speaker 6: All right, two years and, like, a couple months. Like,
- 2:09Speaker 6: she's not understanding enough yet to say, I need.
- 2:12Speaker 2: To go trick-or-treating. Like, we'll do it, obviously.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Well.
- 2:16Speaker 6: I won't be doing it if we're in game seven.
- 2:18Speaker 6: I'll put it that way right now. Oh, you can
- 2:21Speaker 6: walk to a couple houses.
- 2:23Speaker 2: You'll be fine. Game seven of the World Series. I mean,
- 2:27Speaker 2: I think. Put it on your phone. I think we'll
- 2:29Speaker 2: have other people. Also, who's going trick-or-treating at 7.15 at night?
- 2:34Speaker 6: Well, every.
- 2:34Speaker 4: Yeah, that was the other question. Yeah, you're going at
- 2:37Speaker 4: five or six. You're going before first pitch. I guess so,
- 2:41Speaker 4: but every situation is different. Every house is going to
- 2:45Speaker 4: have it on at the end of the driveway with
- 2:47Speaker 4: dads trying to feed you a Coors Light. That's the
- 2:50Speaker 4: key right there. I actually think I'd completely counter with you.
- 2:55Speaker 4: I think that should be one of your dreams. For
- 2:59Speaker 4: somebody that craves and just wants to be as neighborly
- 3:04Speaker 4: as possible.
- 3:04Speaker 2: For everyone to come together.
- 3:05Speaker 4: And wants the grouping and the camaraderie of the neighborhood
- 3:10Speaker 4: to have vibes that exceed every kind of locker room celebration.
- 3:14Speaker 4: That would be your trick or treat with all the
- 3:16Speaker 4: dads in the neighborhood. Everybody trying to outdo each other
- 3:19Speaker 4: on the outdoor setup of game seven.
- 3:21Speaker 2: You know what?
- 3:21Speaker 4: You're making me think differently now about it. I mean,
- 3:23Speaker 4: that might be true. As somebody that gets, and Drew,
- 3:26Speaker 4: this is the best barometer here. Folks in my neighborhood,
- 3:31Speaker 4: there's somebody set up a neighborhood get-together each Friday night
- 3:36Speaker 4: or Thursday night.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Oh, yes.
- 3:37Speaker 2: The block party. Drew, they sent out flyers with a
- 3:40Speaker 2: QR code to RSVP.
- 3:42Speaker 6: Wow.
- 3:43Speaker 4: There's certain people that said, that's doing way too much.
- 3:47Speaker 6: Way.
- 3:48Speaker 4: There's other people in this room that said, that's the
- 3:50Speaker 4: coolest thing I've ever heard of in my entire life.
- 3:52Speaker 2: Oh, my God. When are you going? What did you bring? Huge.
- 3:55Speaker 2: Remember my reaction when you first had that? I thought
- 3:58Speaker 2: that was the greatest. You're right, Billy. My reaction, I
- 4:00Speaker 2: don't know what it was.
- 4:01Speaker 4: So you should be praying for this to be the possibility,
- 4:04Speaker 4: because that is what you would get. Instead, you're going
- 4:06Speaker 4: to get a bunch of people shutting in, watching it
- 4:08Speaker 4: by themselves.
- 4:09Speaker 2: If they're actually watching it. Now, you're right about that.
- 4:12Speaker 6: I wonder if, like, how many cul-de-sacs and things and
- 4:14Speaker 6: blocks will actually put up a big screen and.
- 4:16Speaker 2: Everyone's going to.
- 4:18Speaker 4: Be high on life too already because the Badgers are
- 4:20Speaker 4: going to beat down the Hawkeyes. When at Kinnick on
- 4:25Speaker 4: Thanksgiving or Halloween day. Oh, that is the 31st. 31st,
- 4:30Speaker 4: 11 a.m.
- 4:31Speaker 6: Kick.
- 4:32Speaker 2: So you'll be at home.
- 4:34Speaker 4: You'll have listened to all of Badgers game day presented
- 4:37Speaker 4: by Cleary Building Corp on 1070 a.m.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Madison, 1310. Bill of Pride. Before the shamrocks applied. One
- 4:44Speaker 2: of the best jingles of all time.
- 4:45Speaker 4: And then you'll get right out there to enjoy Game
- 4:47Speaker 4: 7 World Series and a couple of Snickers bars.
- 4:50Speaker 2: And maybe you even enjoy an almond joy that night.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Maybe.
- 4:54Speaker 4: Maybe you really, really dig in deep, Drew, and have
- 4:57Speaker 4: some of the candy that you save for all the
- 4:59Speaker 4: ones that you don't like.
- 5:00Speaker 5: All right, it is time for our Current Electric Superhero
- 5:03Speaker 5: of the Day, brought to us by our friends at callcurrent.com.
- 5:05Speaker 5: Current Electric, sponsor of this program since we started in January.
- 5:10Speaker 5: Big friends of ours.
- 5:11Speaker 2: All the best. Superheroes on the side of the van
- 5:14Speaker 2: and inside.
- 5:15Speaker 4: And, Drew, frankly, this week is hard not to give
- 5:19Speaker 4: it to Hunter Baumgart, providing us so much content and
- 5:21Speaker 4: Brewers fans so much content, guarding up at 5 o'clock.
- 5:23Speaker 2: Absolutely. He'll be back here after 4.40.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Yes.
- 5:25Speaker 4: Is anybody the superhero other than Rick Schlesinger for the
- 5:28Speaker 4: post that you just put out of being able to
- 5:30Speaker 4: tamp down the timeless ticket? Freddy Peralta, close second, right?
- 5:35Speaker 4: Pitching the Rays of the World Series, ALCS MVP, phenomenal run.
- 5:40Speaker 4: But being able to calm and quell problems... And that's
- 5:44Speaker 4: exactly the spirit of what Current Electric does. You got
- 5:49Speaker 4: a problem that sparks up in your home that all
- 5:51Speaker 4: of a sudden is illuminated in your home. You go
- 5:53Speaker 4: and solve that with Current Electric. Rick Schlesinger, president of
- 5:57Speaker 4: business operations for the Milwaukee Brewers.
- 5:58Speaker 2: Goes, wait a second.
- 5:59Speaker 4: We got a problem going into game one of the
- 6:01Speaker 4: World Series at home. First one in 44 years. Correcting
- 6:03Speaker 4: the timeless ticket deal. Just make it my future problem
- 6:06Speaker 4: and let's push it away. Enjoy those tickets on us, guys,
- 6:09Speaker 4: and cash that thing in next year.
- 6:12Speaker 5: Now, if you've got that, so then you've not lost
- 6:14Speaker 5: your $ 1, 000 timeless ticket privilege. You've gotten some other perks
- 6:18Speaker 5: along the way. What is it, like eight or nine
- 6:20Speaker 5: games you can go to? They got a bunch of tickets, right?
- 6:23Speaker 5: And then you can, yeah, and then, but if you
- 6:25Speaker 5: have the right to use that, basically for, again, free
- 6:29Speaker 5: that you paid for.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:30Speaker 5: But then to buy three at $ 1, 000 each, and those
- 6:34Speaker 5: are flippable. If they're going right, you can triple your money.
- 6:37Speaker 5: This could be an investor's boon there, or you can
- 6:40Speaker 5: take some friends and family.
- 6:42Speaker 2: And split the cost up a little bit. Go ahead, Billy.
- 6:44Speaker 4: No, but what I was chewing on over the break
- 6:47Speaker 4: was does this also open it up for them to
- 6:50Speaker 4: do it again?
- 6:52Speaker 2: Like now, I don't know, man.
- 6:54Speaker 4: Now people have seen, okay, they felt like it was
- 6:58Speaker 4: wrong to do the terrorist level, so they're definitely not
- 7:02Speaker 4: going to do it to us again.
- 7:03Speaker 2: We could charge $ 1, 500.
- 7:04Speaker 5: We could charge $ 1, 500, let you know that you're going
- 7:09Speaker 5: to get yourself maybe a loge ticket, lock in where
- 7:12Speaker 5: the subject to availability is, and then see, you know,
- 7:17Speaker 5: now that people have already cashed in on one, I
- 7:18Speaker 5: wouldn't be surprised if all of a sudden in two
- 7:20Speaker 5: years they could.
- 7:20Speaker 6: Do it again.
- 7:21Speaker 2: Now, other venues do this.
- 7:23Speaker 5: I just got an email today from our friends at
- 7:25Speaker 5: the Pabst and Riverside Theaters, the local music, you know,
- 7:28Speaker 5: in Milwaukee. And they have like a concierge club where
- 7:32Speaker 5: you can join this club and you get access. You know,
- 7:34Speaker 5: you have your own kind of ticket broker and you
- 7:37Speaker 5: can call and you get two tickets to available, like
- 7:40Speaker 5: to a show of your choice. And then you also
- 7:43Speaker 5: have the kind of an inside track to purchase tickets or.
- 7:46Speaker 2: Any show you want to go to. You're kind of.
- 7:48Speaker 2: Kind of get like first call.
- 7:49Speaker 5: Like you're a season ticket holder. Yeah, kind of like
- 7:51Speaker 5: a season ticket holder, sort of. But it's like 500
- 7:54Speaker 5: bucks for that privilege. And it's kind of a similar concept.
- 7:58Speaker 5: But the timeless ticket thing, we always had this thing
- 8:01Speaker 5: with the Wonka ticket. Just imagine everything for you in
- 8:03Speaker 5: your limo and you get to go wherever you want
- 8:05Speaker 5: and that kind of deal. The celebrity treatment, the courtside,
- 8:08Speaker 5: toes on the wood type treatment. But the terms and conditions,
- 8:13Speaker 5: like the Brewers have a legal department.
- 8:15Speaker 2: Vast one.
- 8:18Speaker 5: Best available makes it, you know, subject to availability is
- 8:23Speaker 5: the closet to the heavy lift there. And again, like
- 8:25Speaker 5: we said, let's say you have a concert venue or
- 8:28Speaker 5: you want to buy a ticket, this Wonka type ticket
- 8:31Speaker 5: to Pfizer form, and you're guaranteed for a thousand dollars
- 8:34Speaker 5: or $ 1, 500 first row tickets to the show of your choice.
- 8:38Speaker 5: Like one first row ticket. If it's let, if it's
- 8:41Speaker 5: spelled out that way, you get to go in the
- 8:43Speaker 5: first row.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Okay.
- 8:45Speaker 5: Well then that's, That's not what this is, though, right?
- 8:47Speaker 5: This is just the ability to buy tickets to any
- 8:50Speaker 5: game you wanted.
- 8:51Speaker 4: That's why, like, this is an easy win for the Brewers,
- 8:55Speaker 4: but not one that I thought that they would necessarily take.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Right?
- 8:59Speaker 4: Like, because, Drew, I do believe that legal department, very
- 9:01Speaker 4: much so, was going to and had a very plausible argument.
- 9:05Speaker 5: In case as to, hey, it is the availability. This
- 9:09Speaker 5: is the availability we have. But then for Rick to
- 9:11Speaker 5: say we violated the spirit of it.
- 9:13Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
- 9:13Speaker 5: People thought, well, I'd get good seats. Yeah. I thought
- 9:17Speaker 5: I was going to be 10 rows up. I was
- 9:20Speaker 5: laughing as I'm watching the video. I'm like, I'm sorry, man.
- 9:23Speaker 2: I get it. If you thought you were going to
- 9:24Speaker 2: be in the bleachers.
- 9:25Speaker 4: Cool.
- 9:25Speaker 2: That would be a good spot. That's not as I know.
- 9:29Speaker 4: It's not the best ticket that you have available. Again,
- 9:30Speaker 4: you're not going to be sitting next to drew the
- 9:32Speaker 4: official score. Like they're going to put you somewhere. They're
- 9:36Speaker 4: going to put you somewhere and you're going to have
- 9:38Speaker 4: a nice view of the game.
- 9:40Speaker 2: It was definitely a good win for them to roll
- 9:42Speaker 2: through with.
- 9:43Speaker 4: But I'm fascinated to see if this would just like
- 9:47Speaker 4: the just like the stock sale. All of a sudden,
- 9:48Speaker 4: maybe this is our this would be our chance to
- 9:50Speaker 4: be able to cash in a little bit extra here.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Like a revenue thing. The only thing is you do
- 9:54Speaker 2: have to give something tangible back eventually. But you're right, Billy.
- 9:57Speaker 6: There's a revenue stream there. Maybe you could definitely increase
- 9:59Speaker 6: the price. after seeing inflation, markets, all that stuff.
- 10:03Speaker 2: You could raise the price.
- 10:04Speaker 4: And then also, I think the one reason why I
- 10:06Speaker 4: think more people would cash in on the investment is
- 10:10Speaker 4: because of drew what you said of the opportunity to
- 10:12Speaker 4: then flip.
- 10:13Speaker 2: Three more that you buy for a thousand bucks.
- 10:15Speaker 4: Like that's the big, that was one of the greatest
- 10:16Speaker 4: values of that timeless ticket that we found out about
- 10:19Speaker 4: this week.
- 10:20Speaker 6: Also, if it becomes more than just a commodity and
- 10:22Speaker 6: like the social capital, which basically is what the stockholder
- 10:25Speaker 6: certificate did, it became your trophy to say, I'm, I'm,
- 10:29Speaker 6: one of the elite, one of the most important, one
- 10:31Speaker 6: of the better fans. If there's something to that where
- 10:34Speaker 6: you're so-and-so and you want to have that thing in
- 10:36Speaker 6: your mantle and more people know about it and say, wow, okay,
- 10:39Speaker 6: there you go. Then that's, I think, another factor, Billy,
- 10:41Speaker 6: where people would be willing to pay for that a
- 10:43Speaker 6: little bit. I don't know, just a thought. And it's
- 10:45Speaker 6: a good way for Rick to say like, hey, by.
- 10:47Speaker 2: The way, we were right.
- 10:47Speaker 6: Like we have legal, we're legally right, but we violated
- 10:50Speaker 6: the spirit of the rule. Just so you know, we
- 10:52Speaker 6: didn't actually violate the rule, but we violated the spirit
- 10:54Speaker 6: of the rule. So, and this way the brewers don't
- 10:56Speaker 6: have to give up any of their current inventory that
- 10:58Speaker 6: they were going to give. They don't have to kick
- 11:00Speaker 6: anyone out of seats. They don't have to give up
- 11:01Speaker 6: money in that sense and lose any soul.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Good on the Brewers. Once again, making the right decision.
- 11:07Speaker 2: On the field, upstairs, everywhere. Pretty good.
- 11:10Speaker 5: Callcurrent.com, the website, Current Electric, the sponsor of the Superhero
- 11:14Speaker 5: of the Day segment.
- 11:15Speaker 4: The best kind of people to be able to work
- 11:17Speaker 4: with and the superheroes that will save the day for you. Now, Drew,
- 11:20Speaker 4: when you win, everything comes, good things roll around. Down
- 11:25Speaker 4: in Houston, apparently... New video, courtesy of KHOU.
- 11:32Speaker 2: TV in Houston.
- 11:34Speaker 4: Jim Crane, owner of the Houston Astros, walking the red carpet.
- 11:39Speaker 4: with Brewers assistant GM Matt Klein last week at the
- 11:43Speaker 4: Houston Sports Hall of Fame event as Klein is reportedly
- 11:46Speaker 4: a candidate to be the new GM of the Houston Astros.
- 11:50Speaker 2: Not surprising that now the Brewers might.
- 11:52Speaker 4: Be the Rays of the NL where people are trying
- 11:54Speaker 4: to pluck their front office folks. The Rays have had
- 11:58Speaker 4: people be churned out of that organization, Matt Arnold one
- 12:01Speaker 4: of them, and continually plucked because of how good they've
- 12:04Speaker 4: been over the last two decades. See Andrew Friedman, who's
- 12:07Speaker 4: maybe done it better than anybody out in L out
- 12:10Speaker 4: in Los Angeles. And he's done it better than a
- 12:12Speaker 4: lot of folks. People tried to grab someone from new England.
- 12:16Speaker 4: Everybody thought they were going to get the next Bella
- 12:17Speaker 4: check out of new England. Bring that process here. And Jeannie, Patricia,
- 12:20Speaker 4: all these guys didn't work, didn't work, but Friedman and,
- 12:25Speaker 4: and Arnold would be two of the case studies of,
- 12:27Speaker 4: and you know, Matt Arnold didn't have to do it
- 12:29Speaker 4: all himself. Friedman probably more than anybody did. was able
- 12:31Speaker 4: to kind of take that model of Tampa, bring it
- 12:34Speaker 4: out to the big market, and then supplement it with
- 12:37Speaker 4: all the cash in the world that they've had. Sounds
- 12:39Speaker 4: a lot easier to do than how the Dodgers have
- 12:41Speaker 4: been able to do it because David Stearns, right, he
- 12:43Speaker 4: had some training time down there in Tampa Bay, if
- 12:46Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken, and it doesn't seem like he's been
- 12:49Speaker 4: able to bring that out.
- 12:49Speaker 5: To New York.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Yeah, not yet. No, but you're right.
- 12:51Speaker 6: I mean, if you're other teams in this league, how
- 12:53Speaker 6: do you not just try to, you know, till that soil?
- 12:55Speaker 2: It's the front office incubator. You got to.
- 12:57Speaker 6: I mean, you got to look at the Brewers and say,
- 12:59Speaker 6: all right, we want to grab some of those guys. Like,
- 13:01Speaker 6: how do you not try and, you know, get a
- 13:02Speaker 6: piece of that magic potion and till that soil? So
- 13:05Speaker 6: that's to be expected. I think, you know, you're going
- 13:08Speaker 6: to see a lot of that, which is, you know,
- 13:09Speaker 6: a compliment.
- 13:10Speaker 2: You just reload. I mean, the bird.
- 13:11Speaker 6: Listen, there was concern when Council left. There was concern
- 13:14Speaker 6: when Stearns left and the Brewers have reloaded and gotten better.
- 13:17Speaker 6: So that's what you want.
- 13:19Speaker 2: That's what you want. Give it to us.
- 13:20Speaker 4: 877-794-1973.
- 13:20Speaker 2: This game is getting tight in the NBA, Billy.
- 13:26Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 13:27Speaker 2: Pottawatomie Sportsbook, the matinee people are digging themselves right now.
- 13:30Speaker 2: My goodness.
- 13:31Speaker 4: And as somebody that may or may not have had
- 13:34Speaker 4: the Detroit Pistons before the game, the 24-7 run that
- 13:38Speaker 4: closed the gap in the third and now a 9-0
- 13:41Speaker 4: run to make it a one-point game in the fourth
- 13:43Speaker 4: makes this a little entertaining one for everybody that's checking
- 13:45Speaker 4: it out on happy hour. That's why the happy hour
- 13:48Speaker 4: huddle needs live sports. The only time we got live
- 13:51Speaker 4: sports while we were huddling up in the morning– Was what?
- 13:54Speaker 2: The Olympics that we got? Olympics in the hospital. We
- 13:57Speaker 2: got good taste of that. I said sports. Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
- 14:00Speaker 2: Don't do that to me.
- 14:01Speaker 1: No, no, no.
- 14:02Speaker 2: You might not like it, but it's an athletic endeavor.
- 14:04Speaker 2: Tennis is a very athletic endeavor. That's all I'm going
- 14:06Speaker 2: to say. Team sports.
- 14:08Speaker 4: Now that we get team sports on and much, much
- 14:11Speaker 4: better to invest on it, folks will be able to enjoy,
- 14:13Speaker 4: you know, there might not be a matinee, but there'll
- 14:16Speaker 4: be games tipping off on Thursday night at the Thursday
- 14:18Speaker 4: night huddle at Pottawatomie Sportsbook while we're there from five
- 14:21Speaker 4: to seven, Drew.
- 14:22Speaker 2: Oh, no question.
- 14:22Speaker 4: This would be a good one to be watching the
- 14:24Speaker 4: sports book. You'd be getting your money's worth. You're going
- 14:26Speaker 4: to get your money's worth on Thursday, though. We'll talk
- 14:28Speaker 4: about what we got coming up on Thursday for the
- 14:30Speaker 4: Thursday night huddle.
- 14:30Speaker 2: Let's go. Wayne Larravee live and in person. Love that.
- 14:35Speaker 4: Always fun when Wayne's on your chance in person at
- 14:38Speaker 4: the annex just outside of the Pottawatomie sports book to
- 14:41Speaker 4: register to win a pair of tickets to see Bon
- 14:44Speaker 4: Jovi at Soldier Field in July.
- 14:46Speaker 2: Have to be in person. Must be there to register.
- 14:49Speaker 4: We will pick the winner at a later date, and
- 14:53Speaker 4: you will be confirmed and let known if you have
- 14:57Speaker 4: won at a later time. But we will have to
- 14:59Speaker 4: draw it all there. You will have to register it there.
- 15:04Speaker 4: we're going to get the greatest preview of world series game.
- 15:07Speaker 4: Number one, because we're going to have Hunter Baumgart boots
- 15:10Speaker 4: on the ground, a few doors down at American family
- 15:13Speaker 4: field for the workout. So Thursday is a day. You're
- 15:15Speaker 4: not going to want to miss for the huddle. Cause
- 15:16Speaker 4: we've got it covered wall to wall for the Thursday night. Sweet.
- 15:21Speaker 2: Absolutely. It would be sweet getting you ready.
- 15:23Speaker 5: Um, Yeah, and Hunter will be providing us with reports
- 15:26Speaker 5: from the ballpark that day.
- 15:27Speaker 2: It's going to be cool.
- 15:28Speaker 4: Good sound that we're going to get. That's going to
- 15:31Speaker 4: be a heavy octane show coming up on Thursday. And,
- 15:35Speaker 4: I mean, oh, by the way, department, I know football
- 15:38Speaker 4: is kind of a hard thing to focus on. Got
- 15:40Speaker 4: a huge tilt coming up on Sunday, 325, the Brady game,
- 15:44Speaker 4: Packers and Lions, but also a nice one on Thursday night. Armin,
- 15:49Speaker 4: have you availed your eyes to the Thursday night matchup
- 15:52Speaker 4: this week? Maybe your greatest hate watch in the NFL
- 15:55Speaker 4: of quarterbacks. Drake May and the New England Patriots against
- 15:59Speaker 4: Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears.
- 16:00Speaker 6: Yeah, that will be one. And yeah, I mean, May's
- 16:03Speaker 6: turned it around since I talked. So maybe I should
- 16:05Speaker 6: watch myself. But I guess you get it. You're going
- 16:08Speaker 6: to get to cheer for those two guys or cheer
- 16:09Speaker 6: against both of them in a way. But that'll be
- 16:12Speaker 6: a good one. It'll be it'll be interesting to see.
- 16:13Speaker 6: Caleb came back, played well, obviously, for the Bears.
- 16:16Speaker 4: I got a feeling you might be one of the
- 16:17Speaker 4: only ones cheering against Drake May.
- 16:19Speaker 2: In this area. I'm not like a hater of him.
- 16:23Speaker 2: I just wasn't impressed with him.
- 16:25Speaker 6: And then he, you know, they called him the schedule
- 16:28Speaker 6: last year because of the week schedule. Did obviously go
- 16:31Speaker 6: deep in the, you know, went to the Super Bowl,
- 16:32Speaker 6: but had a good year. Had a tough start to
- 16:36Speaker 6: this year. Turned it around a bit. I really don't
- 16:38Speaker 6: have anything against him. I'm not like a Duke guy.
- 16:41Speaker 6: or anything like that. I just wasn't as impressed with him,
- 16:45Speaker 6: but maybe I'll be wrong.
- 16:46Speaker 2: Trust me.
- 16:47Speaker 6: Oh, there's no question I want the Bears to lose.
- 16:49Speaker 2: Is that what you're wondering? It's not personal for me
- 16:51Speaker 2: like it is with Caleb and Ben Johnson. That's personal.
- 16:55Speaker 4: When you say cheering against, I don't know that there's
- 16:57Speaker 4: anybody here cheering against Drake May other than you. That
- 17:01Speaker 4: just proves we'll cheer for a lot of things to
- 17:03Speaker 4: make sure we're No, I'm cheering to be right in
- 17:05Speaker 4: that one. That's no question.
- 17:06Speaker 6: Because it doesn't really do anything to my fandom. It
- 17:09Speaker 6: just has to do with my ability to hopefully be right.
- 17:11Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. But that'll be a fun one.
- 17:13Speaker 6: Because hate watch is just as good as.
- 17:17Speaker 2: A love watch.
- 17:18Speaker 5: Like we said, hate watch helped the Brewers Dodgers receive
- 17:21Speaker 5: record ratings.
- 17:22Speaker 2: Amen to that. Or the biggest in years because people
- 17:26Speaker 2: wanted to see the Dodgers lose.
- 17:27Speaker 4: And there were a lot cheering for our side on
- 17:28Speaker 4: that one. You need stuff to cheer for. We cheer
- 17:30Speaker 4: for Rob and Chris at happyplacehemp.com. We're coming up on 420,

- 18:04Speaker 2: We got one.
- 18:04Speaker 4: Well, there's a number of different things that we could
- 18:07Speaker 4: point to and that we could go to here for
- 18:09Speaker 4: the 420 story of what are you high? But I
- 18:13Speaker 4: just got to say the 420. What are you high
- 18:14Speaker 4: story is the NBA tipping off the NBA season at
- 18:16Speaker 4: two o'clock and.
- 18:17Speaker 2: It's kind of interesting. Isn't it?
- 18:20Speaker 4: Is that is that too low hanging a fruit? You
- 18:23Speaker 4: have banner night drew eighteen hundred dollars. Get in the
- 18:27Speaker 4: door price. LeBron James and his new hometown team. Well,
- 18:32Speaker 4: his team playing against his hometown team as he's living
- 18:35Speaker 4: in New York playing for the 76ers at Madison Square Garden.
- 18:39Speaker 2: That's all you need to tip it off, baby.
- 18:41Speaker 4: We didn't need these, you know, incredible deviled eggs that
- 18:45Speaker 4: we're getting the appetizer of Boston Celtics in Detroit. I'm
- 18:50Speaker 4: glad we got them just like all the hors d'oeuvres.
- 18:53Speaker 4: I am never upset that they come around. But when
- 18:56Speaker 4: you've put the filet mignon in front of you for
- 18:59Speaker 4: the main course and don't know that we needed the appetizers.
- 19:02Speaker 2: What are you high NBA two o'clock on a love
- 19:04Speaker 2: that two o'clock on a Tuesday.
- 19:05Speaker 6: It works for like a weekend day, like a, like
- 19:08Speaker 6: a long Saturday of games and stuff like a kickoff
- 19:10Speaker 6: day or a tip off day.
- 19:12Speaker 2: But this is kind of odd.
- 19:14Speaker 6: I mean, it's Tuesday at two o'clock now it's a
- 19:15Speaker 6: good game, but I'm sure a lot of people aren't
- 19:17Speaker 6: aware of it. I thought you were going to go
- 19:19Speaker 6: with the, what are you high Billy of the, the
- 19:22Speaker 6: story you sent me the other day of the, the,
- 19:24Speaker 6: the poor soul that traveled 1200 miles for his AI
- 19:26Speaker 6: dream girl.
- 19:28Speaker 2: That was tough.
- 19:31Speaker 4: That was a tough one. Yeah, a 49-year-old bricklayer, 1,200 miles,
- 19:35Speaker 4: only to discover that his dream girl was.
- 19:37Speaker 2: He laid a brick. Beware out there. Like me at
- 19:39Speaker 2: Open Gym. I don't know if that's a brick, dude.
- 19:42Speaker 2: That's my man Airball in that thing. Oh, yeah, that's pretty.
- 19:45Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a computer chip. I mean, there's a lot
- 19:46Speaker 6: of fake stuff on the internet, guys, It's pretty sad.
- 19:50Speaker 2: We've touched that base. You are in the huddle.
- 19:52Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Drew Billion-Armond huddled up on this
- 20:05Speaker 5: Tuesday in the good land. We did get some news
- 20:09Speaker 5: today regarding a musical act. Armand was saying that, you know,
- 20:12Speaker 5: reports are that Jay-Z tabbed himself after an extensive search
- 20:15Speaker 5: of the hallway to headline the Super Bowl search committee.
- 20:19Speaker 6: I mean, and he's never done it. It is obviously
- 20:20Speaker 6: a big name, but it's kind of funny because he
- 20:22Speaker 6: runs it. He's like, you know, I'm just picking myself.
- 20:24Speaker 6: I'm activating myself like Dorn in Major League Two. We
- 20:28Speaker 6: did get an announcement about a musical act at SoFi, though.
- 20:32Speaker 6: The NFL announced that at halftime of the Thanksgiving Eve
- 20:35Speaker 6: matchup between the Packers and.
- 20:36Speaker 2: The Rams, you too will perform. Whoa. Okay. From opening
- 20:41Speaker 2: the sphere to that game is on the Netflix. Yes, indeed.
- 20:45Speaker 2: So you too.
- 20:48Speaker 5: For the Packers second game in franchise history on a Wednesday.
- 20:52Speaker 5: The other was September 28th, 1938 against the Chicago Cardinals
- 20:55Speaker 5: in Buffalo.
- 20:56Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
- 20:57Speaker 4: Now, was that one was that one move because of
- 20:59Speaker 4: the World Series to like the Bucks Bulls on Friday
- 21:02Speaker 4: night at three o'clock?
- 21:03Speaker 6: Wow.
- 21:05Speaker 5: So, yes, this marks the first time that the NFL
- 21:07Speaker 5: Thanksgiving football starts on Thanksgiving Eve, as well as the
- 21:10Speaker 5: 50th anniversary of you, too.
- 21:12Speaker 2: Okay, let's go, U2. Come on.
- 21:14Speaker 4: Now, that's going to be a good audience for them.
- 21:16Speaker 4: Because I'm assuming, at least Netflix is planning on it,
- 21:19Speaker 4: that they get more of an international audience for that game. Obviously,
- 21:25Speaker 4: all of their subscribers throughout the globe. So good time
- 21:28Speaker 4: for them. There were a lot of people that had
- 21:30Speaker 4: a lot of takes on U2 after the Sphere show.
- 21:34Speaker 4: But when you say 35-year celebration of U2.
- 21:38Speaker 2: 50th, 50th, bro.
- 21:40Speaker 4: They could walk out there and put the guitar down
- 21:42Speaker 4: and walk out. And I think people would be okay.
- 21:45Speaker 2: 50 year celebration. They've had a, they've done, did everything
- 21:47Speaker 2: you can imagine.
- 21:49Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 21:49Speaker 2: Oh, look at Armand spinning through.
- 21:50Speaker 6: Nice work.
- 21:51Speaker 2: Come on now. They got hits.
- 21:52Speaker 1: Wow.
- 21:53Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 21:53Speaker 2: A lot of hits. I think they've got some songs.
- 21:56Speaker 2: They've got a few.
- 21:57Speaker 6: Tom Crean used to love you too. I mean, everyone did,
- 21:59Speaker 6: but you know, it's kind of like the band of
- 22:01Speaker 6: the eighties. It was a little, I would say, you know,
- 22:04Speaker 6: and beyond, but definitely in the eighties, the, The song
- 22:08Speaker 6: was the Badgers intro for the longest time, and they
- 22:10Speaker 6: demanded it came back.
- 22:11Speaker 2: Once again is.
- 22:12Speaker 1: Right.
- 22:13Speaker 6: And Marquette used it for a long time with Kareem
- 22:16Speaker 6: for theirs, too. So there was always a little debate
- 22:18Speaker 6: on who was first on that one. Oh, you guys
- 22:21Speaker 6: copied us. The same old stuff.
- 22:23Speaker 2: But yeah, he loved them. Kareem loved them. I mean, yeah,
- 22:25Speaker 2: everyone does. I mean, those guys were awesome. They rock.
- 22:28Speaker 2: It's a big, big. That's a cool thing. Big concert.
- 22:32Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 22:33Speaker 2: On Blackout Wednesday. Got to get used to that. The
- 22:36Speaker 2: Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
- 22:38Speaker 5: Personally, it's like I do like going out on the
- 22:40Speaker 5: Wednesday before Thanksgiving, but I also like not working on
- 22:43Speaker 5: Thanksgiving itself.
- 22:43Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 22:44Speaker 6: Yep.
- 22:45Speaker 1: Yep.
- 22:45Speaker 2: Either one starts with me.
- 22:47Speaker 5: We do Packers OT and we've had to juggle things
- 22:50Speaker 5: on Thanksgiving the last couple of years.
- 22:52Speaker 4: And this is going to be the first year that
- 22:53Speaker 4: I that I've been entrusted for the massive family Thanksgiving season.
- 22:58Speaker 2: Your boy's on bird duty this year.
- 23:02Speaker 1: Huge.
- 23:02Speaker 2: Today you are a man. That's a huge deal. Billy's
- 23:04Speaker 2: got the turkey.
- 23:05Speaker 4: But I do know, and again, sometimes Drew Olsen rings
- 23:10Speaker 4: in my mind. I remember one time Drew saying, you're
- 23:13Speaker 4: never going to feel more like a man.
- 23:15Speaker 2: I might get the verbiage wrong.
- 23:17Speaker 4: The adult is when you're standing there on Thanksgiving with
- 23:21Speaker 4: the bird that you just cooked and everybody's looking at
- 23:23Speaker 4: you with that knife saying.
- 23:25Speaker 2: All right, let's see what you got. Now you gotta
- 23:27Speaker 2: slice it.
- 23:27Speaker 4: Now what?
- 23:27Speaker 2: See what you got. Perform. Get the electric knife out.
- 23:30Speaker 2: Because you can't, you'd mess that up.
- 23:32Speaker 4: Your ass in the jackpot i don't care how well
- 23:34Speaker 4: it's cooked you slice that thing wrong you're gonna look
- 23:37Speaker 4: like the biggest.
- 23:37Speaker 5: Beginner of all outside of that drive home with your
- 23:40Speaker 5: wife and newborn that's it feel more adult like uh
- 23:43Speaker 5: smacking you in the face moments uh-huh are you doing
- 23:46Speaker 5: the uh torch has been passed it's now on you
- 23:48Speaker 5: i can't.
- 23:49Speaker 6: Wait smoking that bird outside billy is that what the process.
- 23:51Speaker 4: You better believe it traggers get traggers gonna get uh
- 23:54Speaker 4: get one bird i believe there's a There's a possibility
- 23:58Speaker 4: with the amount of people we might need two. So
- 24:01Speaker 4: there might be one in the oven, one on the smoker,
- 24:04Speaker 4: but there will definitely be one on the Traeger. I've
- 24:06Speaker 4: been waiting too long.
- 24:07Speaker 5: Just don't deep fry it and set something on fire.
- 24:09Speaker 2: No. We've seen that. That's that.
- 24:12Speaker 5: Those deep fryer things, the deep fryer mishaps with the
- 24:15Speaker 5: turkeys are as good as the backup terrier.
- 24:17Speaker 1: That's it.
- 24:17Speaker 2: That's the basically. Thousand percent.
- 24:19Speaker 4: Basically.
- 24:19Speaker 2: Backup terrier. Backup terrier. Also, the butterball hotline, I think,
- 24:24Speaker 2: is still active.
- 24:25Speaker 4: The other one is the boiling water frozen in the
- 24:29Speaker 4: freezing temperature and throwing it out into the backyard and
- 24:33Speaker 4: people still not realizing that stuff's going to come back
- 24:35Speaker 4: at you.
- 24:36Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a problem. That one's going to blow back
- 24:38Speaker 2: at you.
- 24:38Speaker 1: Be very careful.
- 24:38Speaker 4: That is not a good plan. That one's not rolling
- 24:40Speaker 4: very well. No, I've been waiting to smoke the bird
- 24:44Speaker 4: on the Traeger.
- 24:47Speaker 2: No pause, actually. Sorry about that. I appreciate it.
- 24:51Speaker 4: I appreciate you trying to pause me smoking meat.
- 24:55Speaker 2: Just get the right bird, man. That's the main thing.
- 24:57Speaker 2: You just want to make sure it's a texture turkey. Well,
- 24:59Speaker 2: it's also got to be well brined. That's a big thing.
- 25:02Speaker 2: You got to brine that thing.
- 25:03Speaker 6: It's a big thing for people now. All the videos
- 25:05Speaker 6: that we watch on YouTube now, Billy, all the time
- 25:08Speaker 6: that we send back and forth about meat, it's all
- 25:10Speaker 6: about brining it, right?
- 25:12Speaker 2: Drive by it at age, this and that. So what's
- 25:15Speaker 2: the brine going to be? You know, failing....
- 25:18Speaker 4: To prepare is preparing to fail. So the preparation is
- 25:21Speaker 4: going to be perfect for this one. We're going to
- 25:23Speaker 4: figure it out. We got plenty of time to be
- 25:25Speaker 4: able to deal with that time.
- 25:26Speaker 2: You got a lot of time more than anything.
- 25:28Speaker 1: Drew.
- 25:28Speaker 4: I'm just glad that throughout that whole night. Luckily, the
- 25:31Speaker 4: Packers aren't going to deal with Devante Adams that night.
- 25:34Speaker 4: The sad news for Devante Adams.
- 25:35Speaker 2: I hate that. I hate that. He's going on. I
- 25:37Speaker 2: are ruptured.
- 25:38Speaker 4: Hamstring does not sound like something you come back from
- 25:41Speaker 4: in the same year, but he's going to try to
- 25:43Speaker 4: do it with a cleanup of the hamstring. But That
- 25:47Speaker 4: beat came and went from one of the most marquee
- 25:51Speaker 4: games of the year to two weeks ago. People thinking
- 25:56Speaker 4: might be cheeks might be an awful game. Miles Garrett
- 26:00Speaker 4: might not be playing the Rams can't beat the Cardinals
- 26:03Speaker 4: and the Packers can't block anybody. And now I do
- 26:06Speaker 4: believe is going to have massive playoff implications. Once that
- 26:09Speaker 4: thing comes back around because you're going to be able
- 26:12Speaker 4: to somebody's going to be able to feast on the
- 26:13Speaker 4: NFC East team that wins that division and And it
- 26:16Speaker 4: was wild card spots are going to be tightly contested
- 26:20Speaker 4: with the NFC North and the NFC West.
- 26:22Speaker 2: So you're going to want that game big time. Yeah, absolutely.
- 26:25Speaker 2: But we're, we're onto Detroit right now.
- 26:27Speaker 5: We should be focusing on the lions and the fact
- 26:29Speaker 5: that Josh Jacobs might may or may not, but very
- 26:32Speaker 5: likely we'll tote the rock a couple of times on
- 26:33Speaker 5: a pitch count for the Packers. And could it be
- 26:36Speaker 5: Aaron Banks and Kevin Zeitler starting at guard? I'd be
- 26:40Speaker 5: surprised with banks, but should I be? I mean, LeFleur
- 26:44Speaker 5: kind of hinted at it. He had his best week
- 26:46Speaker 5: of practice, and he looks good. He laid the groundwork
- 26:48Speaker 5: for it.
- 26:48Speaker 4: Now, we talked to Lincoln Tomlinson on Packers OT, and
- 26:52Speaker 4: I think he's been really good. He's been better than
- 26:55Speaker 4: Travis Glover, who's gotten a lot of shine because Glover
- 26:57Speaker 4: was so surprisingly good. Going back and watching the game
- 27:01Speaker 4: this past weekend, it's definitely Kevin Zeitler time, right? You
- 27:05Speaker 4: watch it a little bit more, Drew, and that all
- 27:07Speaker 4: 22 came out. Glover has played okay, but now I
- 27:10Speaker 4: think there's definite room for improvement there. But you have
- 27:15Speaker 4: the money committed to banks. I guess it makes sense
- 27:17Speaker 4: to take the shot. But I really like what I've
- 27:21Speaker 4: been seeing on that left side with Tomlinson. I would
- 27:23Speaker 4: not be quick to be flipping that left guard around.
- 27:28Speaker 4: I'm excited about right, not necessarily at the left side.
- 27:32Speaker 4: But Kevin Zeiler also played in Detroit. He's going to
- 27:35Speaker 4: be ready to go for this one, I would assume.
- 27:37Speaker 4: He had one of the best years of his career
- 27:39Speaker 4: there a couple of years ago. when they ultimately didn't
- 27:41Speaker 4: resign him.
- 27:42Speaker 2: And that's right.
- 27:42Speaker 5: You and I were talking about why aren't the Packers
- 27:44Speaker 5: jumping at that a couple of years ago? That could
- 27:46Speaker 5: be a seismic change.
- 27:48Speaker 4: Malaflor did mention and was asked about Jacobs and what
- 27:52Speaker 4: kind of impact he can have. More than anything, Adam
- 27:55Speaker 4: Stenovich was talking about. just how big of a boost
- 27:59Speaker 4: it is having him in the backfield. Sure, he can
- 28:01Speaker 4: just make you right so many more times than the
- 28:04Speaker 4: Packers have had the ability to be made right by
- 28:08Speaker 4: the group that they have in the backfield right now.
- 28:10Speaker 4: They just right now don't have anybody that has the
- 28:13Speaker 4: ability to... create some gap where there's a little bit
- 28:20Speaker 4: of movement. It's not always four guys laying on the
- 28:23Speaker 4: ground in the opposing shirts, but there is some room.
- 28:26Speaker 4: You got to be able to dig through instead of it.
- 28:28Speaker 4: Earlier on today, Josh will definitely help. He's an excellent player.
- 28:31Speaker 4: He'll provide some spark for us on offense. He'll also,
- 28:35Speaker 4: you would assume drew a, provides some spark, again, in
- 28:38Speaker 4: the locker room because it's a dude that's been voted
- 28:40Speaker 4: captain back-to-back years. That's a good point. And he has
- 28:43Speaker 4: been one of their biggest attitude players, I would say,
- 28:46Speaker 4: in his time in Green Bay.
- 28:47Speaker 2: Well, definitely. We used to talk about him that way.
- 28:48Speaker 6: He's the guy that wanted to lead, wanted to be
- 28:50Speaker 6: that type of guy and bring that type of energy.
- 28:52Speaker 6: And look, the Packers' run game cannot get much worse.
- 28:55Speaker 6: So I don't think any of these things would help. Yeah.
- 28:57Speaker 2: It's hard to imagine him struggling more than it would.
- 29:01Speaker 2: You know, you could.
- 29:02Speaker 6: You look at last week's game, and it went well
- 29:04Speaker 6: for the Packers, and they won. And thanks mostly to Jordan.
- 29:07Speaker 6: The running game struggled. You could say Pierre Strong is
- 29:09Speaker 6: their best option at back right now, which is I
- 29:11Speaker 6: don't think something many people would have said.
- 29:13Speaker 2: Going into this. No, he hasn't moved the needle much.
- 29:17Speaker 6: And that's the problem, I think. That's the reality of it.
- 29:19Speaker 6: So anything to help, I would say. I saw Najee
- 29:23Speaker 6: Harris got released by the Giants. I don't think that's
- 29:25Speaker 6: an option, but.
- 29:27Speaker 2: No, that one's definitely not an option.
- 29:28Speaker 4: But did you see who their new option at QB
- 29:30Speaker 4: is going to be coming up potentially this week?
- 29:33Speaker 2: The Mac Jones rumor?
- 29:34Speaker 5: No.
- 29:34Speaker 2: Did you see what nine now?
- 29:38Speaker 1: Well, 2.0 did.
- 29:40Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, in the fourth quarter? My man put up
- 29:43Speaker 2: 230 yards passing.
- 29:44Speaker 6: Oh, I thought there was something else I didn't hear about. Oh,
- 29:46Speaker 6: McCarthy had a great game in that second. I was
- 29:48Speaker 6: shocked as anybody. Now, you can't scout. Maybe you didn't
- 29:51Speaker 6: scout for him or whatever it was, or it was
- 29:53Speaker 6: soft zone. I don't know what to explain that, but
- 29:56Speaker 6: the man looked like a totally different piece.
- 29:57Speaker 4: Now, he did throw a pick, which, again, there is
- 29:59Speaker 4: a wide-open receiver on the left side.
- 30:01Speaker 2: He throws it to the right side.
- 30:03Speaker 1: Correct.
- 30:04Speaker 2: Directly into defenders chest. Yeah. Still a little bit of
- 30:08Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy in there. Still best case scenario for the Giants.
- 30:11Speaker 2: Look at this guy. He can give us a chance.
- 30:13Speaker 2: That's how they can talk to themselves. That's how it's been.
- 30:15Speaker 5: I was jumping ahead because the Philadelphia thing, they might
- 30:17Speaker 5: trade a second rounder for Mac Jones.
- 30:19Speaker 1: Yes.
- 30:19Speaker 4: And that one, that one makes sense. That one makes
- 30:22Speaker 4: way too much. Your team is too good. And that
- 30:25Speaker 4: division is.
- 30:26Speaker 2: Awful right now.
- 30:27Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 30:27Speaker 4: You can't just forfeit the rest of the, you know,
- 30:29Speaker 4: I think that I heard a stat. If it's correct,
- 30:32Speaker 4: it's mind-boggling. It's the first time in NFL history this
- 30:35Speaker 4: late into the year no team has won back-to-back games
- 30:39Speaker 4: in the division.
- 30:40Speaker 6: Wow.
- 30:41Speaker 2: That's stunning. It doesn't even sound like it is possible.
- 30:45Speaker 4: But when you look at what they've done, they've just
- 30:47Speaker 4: been very, very herky jerky. And I think the Giants
- 30:50Speaker 4: would have had the best opportunity to do so, but
- 30:53Speaker 4: stumbled upon it potentially with dirt. So I don't know
- 30:56Speaker 4: that there that is a winnable division with the best
- 30:59Speaker 4: players out there. And yeah, Mac Jones is the 49ers.
- 31:03Speaker 4: They watered that bamboo. They always say you got water
- 31:06Speaker 4: bamboo three times a day. Doesn't grow a lick. Six
- 31:09Speaker 4: months later, sprouts six feet in six weeks. So I
- 31:11Speaker 4: ain't been watering that bamboo. They turn that thing into
- 31:13Speaker 4: a second round big drew. That is a win on
- 31:16Speaker 4: that Mac Jones signing that they had. Hey, we're final
- 31:19Speaker 4: in Detroit. How about Detroit? After Billy's throwing strays at
- 31:22Speaker 4: the entire city. Well, this week, they're going to catch
- 31:25Speaker 4: a lot of strays. We're not Detroit. Yeah, it could
- 31:29Speaker 4: be a lot worse. Hey, I mean, we could live
- 31:30Speaker 4: in Detroit.
- 31:31Speaker 2: Nice comeback against the Celtics here. They went final. Hooper's
- 31:34Speaker 2: loving it. You guys know Hooper. He's the mascot for
- 31:36Speaker 2: the Pistons. I think it's a horse. I did not
- 31:39Speaker 2: know that. Really? Yeah, a whooper. Oh, okay.
- 31:42Speaker 4: Definitely not. I got bad news for you. He's not
- 31:46Speaker 4: the most impressive mascot in the NBA. That guy lives
- 31:49Speaker 4: in Utah.
- 31:51Speaker 2: Oh, I see. You like him. I'm blanking on the
- 31:54Speaker 2: name now. I don't know.
- 31:55Speaker 4: It's a weird gorilla bear looking thing. Kind of looks
- 31:58Speaker 4: like Bigfoot.
- 31:59Speaker 2: Yeah. That guy is a menace. Probably is actually. Absolute menace.
- 32:05Speaker 2: Bango's birthday party. They bring in all the mascots.
- 32:08Speaker 4: Mm-hmm. You'd have to have one guy watching him every
- 32:10Speaker 4: single time. All of a sudden, you look over, Drew,
- 32:12Speaker 4: the guy's standing on a railing right next to a fan.
- 32:14Speaker 4: What are we doing, sir?
- 32:15Speaker 2: Can't be doing that. There's way too much liability here.
- 32:17Speaker 2: It's hilarious. But wow, how about that? The NBA season
- 32:20Speaker 2: is now underway. Off with a bang. Off with a
- 32:22Speaker 2: bang and the Pistons with a comeback win over the Celtics.
- 32:26Speaker 2: Take the L, Boston. Take the L. Take the L.
- 32:28Speaker 5: 877-794-1973.
- 32:29Speaker 2: NicoletLaw.com.
- 32:29Speaker 5: Talk and text line. You're running out of time to
- 32:31Speaker 5: text us today. We're going to take a quick break,
- 32:37Speaker 5: and when we come back, Hunter Baumgart is coming back
- 32:39Speaker 5: for more as we're talking Brewers and everything else. It's
- 32:42Speaker 5: The Huddle, Fox Sports Radio. All right, Drew, Billy, and
- 32:47Speaker 5: Harmon coming to the end of our Tuesday run. Hunter
- 32:49Speaker 5: Baumgart joining us. He's getting ready to do a little
- 32:52Speaker 5: baseball show.
- 32:54Speaker 1: I am.
- 32:55Speaker 2: This week is just unbelievable.
- 32:56Speaker 3: We're going to talk a little ball.
- 32:57Speaker 2: You can talk ball all night, Hunter.
- 32:58Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 32:59Speaker 2: Ready to talk ball, ready to do shows, ready to travel.
- 33:01Speaker 2: He'll do anything. We have the matchup, Brewers and Rays.
- 33:04Speaker 5: We already kicked around the Brandon Woodruff possibility, but then
- 33:07Speaker 5: after you left, we saw the Ken Rosenthal piece about
- 33:09Speaker 5: how they might not be able to replace him because
- 33:11Speaker 5: that might be deemed a chronic problem, not a flare-up. Unless,
- 33:15Speaker 5: as Billy said, he camouflages it as a twisted ankle
- 33:18Speaker 5: or a back injury.
- 33:19Speaker 2: Finding a way to do it.
- 33:20Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's the thing, right? I think they're
- 33:22Speaker 3: going to talk to and sounds like they have talked
- 33:24Speaker 3: to Major League Baseball and probably got clarification like, OK,
- 33:27Speaker 3: here here are the lines. Now, how can you prove
- 33:29Speaker 3: any of that? That's a good question. But they're clearly
- 33:32Speaker 3: going to him and this and trying to get a
- 33:34Speaker 3: little more information.
- 33:35Speaker 2: This is the World Series.
- 33:37Speaker 5: It would give everybody a little warm and fuzzy and
- 33:40Speaker 5: it would hit you in the fields if Woodruff can
- 33:41Speaker 5: throw again.
- 33:42Speaker 4: But.
- 33:44Speaker 2: Didn't I hear the manager say just recently, this is
- 33:47Speaker 2: a tryout? Well, 100%.
- 33:48Speaker 3: He said that.
- 33:49Speaker 2: So isn't there like a conflict there? Yes.
- 33:54Speaker 3: I think if they talk to Major League Baseball and
- 33:58Speaker 3: they think that there is a chance that if he
- 34:00Speaker 3: pitches and cannot pitch anymore, that he cannot be replaced
- 34:04Speaker 3: on this roster, I don't know if they're going to
- 34:06Speaker 3: want to risk that when they have a chance to
- 34:08Speaker 3: win a world title.
- 34:09Speaker 2: I get it.
- 34:10Speaker 3: I get the story. I get Woodruff. but I just
- 34:14Speaker 3: don't know if they're willing to make that risk.
- 34:17Speaker 5: If he doesn't get added to the roster for this series,
- 34:22Speaker 5: has he thrown his last pitch for the Brewers?
- 34:23Speaker 2: Was that July 4th?
- 34:24Speaker 3: Possibly.
- 34:25Speaker 4: Oh, I would struggle to see it, especially if, and again,
- 34:29Speaker 4: now this is not tryouts. This is not here for
- 34:32Speaker 4: feel-good stories, but if he did bust his ass now
- 34:36Speaker 4: for the last three months and this being the pinnacle
- 34:39Speaker 4: and you talked about it and you planned it and
- 34:40Speaker 4: you worked it out and you thought about it and
- 34:42Speaker 4: all of a sudden he comes up to you and says, Look,
- 34:45Speaker 4: this is what I just did against live hitters.
- 34:47Speaker 2: I know that I can do it.
- 34:48Speaker 4: I'm ready. I might not be. I might not have
- 34:50Speaker 4: gone through three rehab stints. I wasn't going to do
- 34:53Speaker 4: that either way. I'm going up against big league hitters.
- 34:55Speaker 4: I can get you three outs. And then they say, no,
- 34:59Speaker 4: I'd struggle to come back. Like, I would definitely struggle
- 35:02Speaker 4: to be coming back.
- 35:03Speaker 2: Yep.
- 35:04Speaker 6: Yep.
- 35:04Speaker 3: You did all that you could over the last three months,
- 35:07Speaker 3: and then you're not able to get on that roster.
- 35:08Speaker 2: It's not like you owe me anything.
- 35:11Speaker 1: No.
- 35:11Speaker 4: But if you believe and believed in the beginning of
- 35:13Speaker 4: the year that I could be the leader of the rotation,
- 35:15Speaker 4: now I believe that I could get you three outs.
- 35:17Speaker 4: That would be a tough one to come back from. So, Drew,
- 35:19Speaker 4: I would say at that point he would.
- 35:21Speaker 2: What about you?
- 35:22Speaker 1: Man.
- 35:24Speaker 6: Man.
- 35:26Speaker 5: Nobody owes anybody anything, really. And it is about winning
- 35:29Speaker 5: the World Series. And what's your value and your utility?
- 35:32Speaker 5: At the same time, they've got two guys that haven't
- 35:35Speaker 5: pitched in the playoffs at all. And one guy that didn't,
- 35:37Speaker 5: you know, Sensatella, Hunter didn't even notice Sensatella didn't pitch in.
- 35:40Speaker 2: The four games against the Dodgers.
- 35:41Speaker 3: You're right.
- 35:41Speaker 2: And so you have a little wiggle room there.
- 35:44Speaker 6: You do.
- 35:44Speaker 3: You absolutely do. This would be different if those guys
- 35:47Speaker 3: had been a key part.
- 35:48Speaker 5: You can get special dispensation for injured players to sit
- 35:52Speaker 5: in the dugout in uniform.
- 35:54Speaker 2: He's got to at least do that. Well, he's done that.
- 35:55Speaker 2: So to me, if his real value is that.
- 35:58Speaker 5: And we were saying, like, have him throw out the
- 36:00Speaker 5: first pitch before game two, because you don't know if
- 36:02Speaker 5: you're coming back after game two.
- 36:03Speaker 2: That would be a good one.
- 36:04Speaker 5: Even if he's not on the roster, let him throw
- 36:06Speaker 5: out a first pitch and be recognized that way and
- 36:08Speaker 5: get the thunderous ovation that he'll get.
- 36:10Speaker 2: That's fascinating. Yeah, that would be.
- 36:14Speaker 6: The thing is, I think you've got to see that
- 36:16Speaker 6: he can get guys out and be effective.
- 36:18Speaker 2: That's what it's about right now.
- 36:19Speaker 3: For sure. I mean, there's a chance where he faced
- 36:21Speaker 3: live hitters today and it did not look great, and
- 36:24Speaker 3: they say... Yeah, nice try.
- 36:27Speaker 4: But if he goes three up, three down... Cooper, Pratt, Luis, Lara,
- 36:31Speaker 4: and Joey Ortiz... Yes, absolutely, Billy. That's the other part.
- 36:36Speaker 4: He did come back in his, what, the one after
- 36:39Speaker 4: his first injury. Did he make a rehab start? I
- 36:41Speaker 4: thought he threw his bullets right at the big league level.
- 36:44Speaker 4: How long has he been throwing?
- 36:46Speaker 2: Like six weeks?
- 36:47Speaker 5: A month or six weeks he's been throwing, starting on
- 36:49Speaker 5: flat ground, and then he got up off the mound recently.
- 36:51Speaker 3: The mound was like 1st of October-ish is when they
- 36:54Speaker 3: were going to talk about it.
- 36:55Speaker 2: So three weeks off a mount.
- 36:57Speaker 5: So Lindo's sim game, he's basically where starting pitchers would
- 37:01Speaker 5: be in their first spring training start.
- 37:03Speaker 2: You're good for one inning. Yeah.
- 37:04Speaker 5: 25, maybe 30. That is where you're at. If there's
- 37:06Speaker 5: a couple guys on, you're out. You're not finishing the inning.
- 37:10Speaker 5: A lot of times they do because the hitters are
- 37:11Speaker 5: behind at that point. But again, this isn't tryouts. It's
- 37:15Speaker 5: not about the feels.
- 37:16Speaker 3: As cool as the story is, do you want a
- 37:18Speaker 3: guy who's just that? that much of a wild card
- 37:22Speaker 3: in the World Series? Is it worth it?
- 37:25Speaker 5: What gets me is the not being able to replace
- 37:28Speaker 5: him thing. That whole codicil in the rule book is like,
- 37:31Speaker 5: if you could replace him, no problem, then, yeah, all right.
- 37:35Speaker 4: I'm fine in a second circuit, Josh. I'm going full
- 37:38Speaker 4: SEC and finding some kind of a loophole into this
- 37:40Speaker 4: deal on the injured. All I need is a week.
- 37:43Speaker 4: I need a week's restraining order on your rule. But
- 37:45Speaker 4: the other part is, like, it is a wild card.
- 37:48Speaker 4: So are the two guys that you would potentially pitch
- 37:51Speaker 4: that haven't pitched in a game. Kyle Harrison or Chad Patrick.
- 37:56Speaker 4: I mean, if you're going to throw Chad Patrick in
- 37:58Speaker 4: what a three run game, that's as much of a
- 38:00Speaker 4: wild card as anybody could be at this moment.
- 38:03Speaker 3: That's true. That's a really good point too. And obviously
- 38:05Speaker 3: Kyle Harrison had the shaky end of the season to
- 38:07Speaker 3: put it lightly and has not pitched in the postseason.
- 38:09Speaker 3: Like you said, those guys have not pitched in a
- 38:11Speaker 3: game setting. since the end of September. And now we're
- 38:14Speaker 3: October 20th. It'll be the 23rd by the time the
- 38:16Speaker 3: world series starts.
- 38:17Speaker 4: If, and again, if I understandably, so the Harrison one
- 38:21Speaker 4: is break glass in case of emergency, somebody has to
- 38:24Speaker 4: wear it, meet and throw 60 pitches.
- 38:25Speaker 1: Yes.
- 38:26Speaker 4: That's something Woody probably couldn't do. It couldn't do at
- 38:28Speaker 4: this moment, but yeah, God bless you, Kyle Harrison. If
- 38:33Speaker 4: I'm going to roll the dice and say this guy's
- 38:35Speaker 4: first playoff appearance or this guy's season vet most appearances
- 38:41Speaker 4: and has pitched in the playoffs before, I'm throwing Woody
- 38:43Speaker 4: out the path.
- 38:44Speaker 2: I just remember them wheezing to the finish in a.
- 38:49Speaker 5: In an important game, extra innings and having Junior Guerra
- 38:51Speaker 5: throw until his arm was falling off.
- 38:53Speaker 3: Junior Guerra, what a pull. Had to just go out
- 38:56Speaker 3: there and get the innings.
- 38:57Speaker 5: You're there until it's over. That's all we got. You're
- 39:00Speaker 5: there until it's over. Because you're not pitching Bowers and
- 39:02Speaker 5: Sanchez at this point.
- 39:04Speaker 2: Right, exactly.
- 39:05Speaker 3: And Bryce Wilson isn't on the roster.
- 39:07Speaker 2: That's exactly right. That was his main role. So, yeah,
- 39:10Speaker 2: that's fascinating. Always ready to get signed. I cheer for
- 39:13Speaker 2: the story, and Woodruff would be amazing.
- 39:15Speaker 3: It would be awesome.
- 39:16Speaker 2: I mean, I am all for it.
- 39:17Speaker 5: I would love to see him on that mound. It
- 39:19Speaker 5: would have to be as an opener, though. I just
- 39:22Speaker 5: can't see. It just makes way too much sense. Might
- 39:25Speaker 5: as well get the first three, It'd have to be
- 39:27Speaker 5: as the opener.
- 39:28Speaker 3: Because you can predict what the score will be when
- 39:32Speaker 3: he takes the mound.
- 39:33Speaker 2: And the situation. And he'll be facing the top of
- 39:37Speaker 2: the order. Diaz and Caminero. Are you surprised Chad Patrick
- 39:41Speaker 2: slows the pitch? I'm surprised.
- 39:43Speaker 6: I am.
- 39:44Speaker 3: I thought he would be that sixth inning guy or so.
- 39:49Speaker 3: and they've been able to just get around it, whether
- 39:51Speaker 3: it's been Ben Romero, whether it's been Dustin may, whether
- 39:54Speaker 3: it's been whoever it is, your rebates come in in
- 39:56Speaker 3: the sixth inning. He's the, those guys have done that.
- 39:59Speaker 3: And then they've used Ashby for a million innings at
- 40:01Speaker 3: the end of the game as well. And that, that has,
- 40:04Speaker 3: if you use Ashby for two or three at the end, okay,
- 40:06Speaker 3: that gets rid of one of your guys that you
- 40:08Speaker 3: have to use.
- 40:09Speaker 4: Yes.
- 40:09Speaker 3: And they've just trusted Ashby. I mean, look at Ashby
- 40:12Speaker 3: and what he's done at the 12 shutout.
- 40:13Speaker 5: That's while you fear the long layoff for some guys, uh,
- 40:17Speaker 5: The Uribe and Ashby needed it and will be better,
- 40:20Speaker 5: I think.
- 40:20Speaker 2: And the Rays haven't seen them. Totally.
- 40:23Speaker 3: I think the rest helps them for sure.
- 40:25Speaker 2: I think it helps them more than it hurts the
- 40:27Speaker 2: other guys. For sure.
- 40:28Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 40:29Speaker 3: I think Bowers has been beat up as good as
- 40:31Speaker 3: he's been playing. He's still beat up. Joey's still beat up.
- 40:33Speaker 3: These guys are still battling stuff. Everybody's battling stuff at
- 40:36Speaker 3: this point.
- 40:36Speaker 2: But that rest.
- 40:39Speaker 3: As much as people are like rust and all that,
- 40:41Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not too worried about that. The
- 40:43Speaker 3: Rays have a three-day buff period as well.
- 40:46Speaker 5: They've dealt with it before. And then how about Miz
- 40:48Speaker 5: is just like empty the tank time. Oh, yeah.
- 40:51Speaker 2: That's where I was wondering. Where are we sitting here?
- 40:53Speaker 2: This is potentially your last start of the season.
- 40:55Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 40:56Speaker 2: If you can win in five, we might not need
- 40:58Speaker 2: you again.
- 40:58Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 40:59Speaker 6: Right?
- 40:59Speaker 2: So if he's throwing 104- Well, and that'll be another
- 41:04Speaker 2: pitch six.
- 41:05Speaker 4: And if he's holstered up and your season gets onto
- 41:07Speaker 4: the onto the brink somewhere that it hadn't been here.
- 41:09Speaker 6: Right.
- 41:09Speaker 2: When do you go to him? Essentially in a non-normal role.
- 41:13Speaker 2: Got to be ready for that in game seven.
- 41:15Speaker 3: He was ready to do it in San Diego.
- 41:16Speaker 2: You have to be.
- 41:17Speaker 5: Ready for that.
- 41:18Speaker 2: Stay tuned.
- 41:18Speaker 5: Hunter Baumgart's got you from five until six o'clock this evening.
- 41:23Speaker 5: Tomorrow on the program, we've got a hot take hump day.
- 41:25Speaker 2: We got LFA. Yes.
- 41:27Speaker 5: And we'll probably try to rope in one of our
- 41:30Speaker 5: other guests. Who's on with you tonight, Hunter?
- 41:32Speaker 3: Vinny Retino will be on at 520.
- 41:36Speaker 2: Pride of Racine. Setting that up for us. All right.
- 41:39Speaker 2: We will see you again tomorrow at 2 o'clock. Hunter,
