0:00
Speaker 1: He spoke, he commanded your attention, and he commanded your respect.
0:04
Speaker 1: Bill Schmidt. That son of a gun is thick. And
0:07
Speaker 1: Armin Sarian. Daddy Sarian. Welcome to the huddle.
0:15
Speaker 2: The boys are back. The trophy is back. More importantly,
0:19
Speaker 2: for the first time since 1957, a World Series trophy
0:22
Speaker 2: is in the city of Milwaukee. The Commissioner's Trophy and
0:26
Speaker 2: your Brewers are World Series champions. It paraded through the
0:29
Speaker 2: streets of Milwaukee today. And as Drew Olson, I'm Billy Schmidt,
0:35
Speaker 2: Armin Sarian's right there. Drew, as the headline at ESPN.com says,
0:42
Speaker 2: Beer-fueled brewers continue World Series party with parade, parading through
0:47
Speaker 2: the streets of Milwaukee.
0:48
Speaker 1: And that they did. Yelly said it right out of
0:52
Speaker 1: the gates.
0:52
Speaker 2: You heard most of the audio from the celebration during
0:56
Speaker 2: that 3 o'clock hour. You heard him say, we had
1:00
Speaker 2: way too many parade beers. And you could feel it
1:04
Speaker 2: early on. You could see the visual of Jacob Mizorowski
1:07
Speaker 2: plucking one out of the air and crushing it right away.
1:10
Speaker 2: They had themselves a very good time over the last
1:13
Speaker 2: 48 hours, and it culminated in a celebration for the
1:17
Speaker 2: ages today.
1:19
Speaker 3: It certainly did. Billy, it went to Lambeau Field, too.
1:22
Speaker 3: They involved the whole state.
1:23
Speaker 1: And they did go out of their way to say
1:24
Speaker 1: not just.
1:24
Speaker 4: Milwaukee, but the state, because they realized. that this is
1:28
Speaker 4: the state's team.
1:31
Speaker 1: In the same year that they start the Wisco jersey thing, right?
1:33
Speaker 2: I mean, the year to really own and buy in
1:38
Speaker 2: and announce your presence as the state's team, it worked
1:40
Speaker 2: out very well here today and this season because of it.
1:44
Speaker 2: You could feel the passion. Obviously, you knew it was
1:47
Speaker 2: going to be hypercharged. You know that there's going to
1:49
Speaker 2: be Brewer's fever for the next number of days and
1:54
Speaker 2: couple of weeks as this still just soaks and you
1:57
Speaker 2: realize what had transpired.
2:00
Speaker 1: But the tough thing is, Drew, how quickly it happens.
2:02
Speaker 2: I mean, we had a MLB Network replay on here
2:04
Speaker 2: and they go 11-2 in the 13 postseason games. Some
2:09
Speaker 2: teams play 13 postseason games to get to the World Series.
2:12
Speaker 2: They played 13 postseason.
2:14
Speaker 1: Games to win it.
2:15
Speaker 2: And now you sit back and say, what are we
2:18
Speaker 2: supposed to do next? Like, it does feel like there
2:21
Speaker 2: should be something else here. But now somebody tapped you
2:25
Speaker 2: on the shoulder, says there's no more games. But you
2:27
Speaker 2: do want to keep kind of enjoying it. It feels
2:29
Speaker 2: like there's going to be a lot of people doing
2:31
Speaker 2: Armin Sarian watching of replays of these games for quite
2:35
Speaker 2: some time.
2:35
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, I'm looking ahead to Sunday when there's
2:38
Speaker 3: no Packers game because of last night.
2:40
Speaker 4: And it's going to, you know.
2:42
Speaker 3: Daylight saving, get an extra hour of sleep to fuel
2:45
Speaker 3: up for what?
2:46
Speaker 4: What's next?
2:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a little weird.
2:49
Speaker 2: I mean, a lot of people, we talked about in
2:50
Speaker 2: the first hour, you got that sense down there at
2:52
Speaker 2: the parade from a lot of people. They're going to
2:55
Speaker 2: miss watching these guys play. They're going to miss them
2:57
Speaker 2: being part of the fabric. We've never experienced a World
3:00
Speaker 2: Series title, so we've never experienced ending a season in
3:05
Speaker 2: the satisfying way that you want to. We've experienced disappointment
3:07
Speaker 2: at the end of the season. But you win like
3:09
Speaker 2: this and it's wistful almost and bittersweet because it's like
3:12
Speaker 2: you don't want it to end.
3:14
Speaker 1: You didn't want this ride to end there.
3:16
Speaker 2: This team's now going to be bonded forever as a
3:18
Speaker 2: group with reunions and things like that. But this group
3:22
Speaker 2: of players, this particular group will never be together again.
3:26
Speaker 1: Right, they're not, it's, every.
3:28
Speaker 2: Team is different in some way, they might be a
3:30
Speaker 2: lot of the same guys, but every team is different
3:32
Speaker 2: in some way, every team is its own unique living thing,
3:36
Speaker 2: and this group that did this, this is one of
3:39
Speaker 2: the last times they'll be together, and that's kind of
3:41
Speaker 2: a weird feeling, when you realize, you do it, you
3:45
Speaker 2: walk out of there, it's like, yeah, well, graduating high school,
3:47
Speaker 2: graduating college, it's like, Summer camp's over, now what? And
3:50
Speaker 2: that part is wistful, but they ended in the most
3:53
Speaker 2: wonderful way. A couple of amazing visuals. Aaron Ashby seeing
3:57
Speaker 2: and meeting Drew, the Aaron Ashby lookalike.
4:00
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Pretty dang good. Pretty good to be able
4:04
Speaker 1: to see.
4:04
Speaker 4: That guy stopped by.
4:05
Speaker 3: The media stand at the rally, the Aaron Ashby doppelganger.
4:09
Speaker 1: It's pretty impressive.
4:11
Speaker 4: I mean, and he got to meet him in person,
4:13
Speaker 4: which is epic.
4:14
Speaker 1: And you could almost.
4:15
Speaker 2: You could tell me in that interaction. Now, again, a
4:18
Speaker 2: lot of parade beers on Aaron Ashby's side. Aaron Ashby
4:21
Speaker 2: almost looked more excited than the imposter was.
4:24
Speaker 1: To be able to see him.
4:26
Speaker 2: He gets out of the off the bus right near
4:29
Speaker 2: the grounds. They're kind of all figuring out how they're
4:31
Speaker 2: going to meander in and get backstage. I mean, Garrett
4:34
Speaker 2: Mitchell's just walking down the line. I don't know if
4:37
Speaker 2: you saw that, guys. When somebody just handed him their baby, like, oh, yeah,
4:41
Speaker 2: I think you should take a picture of my kid.
4:42
Speaker 1: He's like, all right, sweet. Sounds good. Way love to
4:46
Speaker 1: be a dad.
4:46
Speaker 4: Good practice.
4:47
Speaker 1: It was good practice. And it was way less.
4:49
Speaker 2: Awkward than a rod just deciding to pick up Pat
4:51
Speaker 2: Murphy's son and put him on.
4:52
Speaker 1: His lap on Wednesday night. He tried to be cool
4:55
Speaker 1: that it was like, OK, you know, it's like 12.
4:57
Speaker 3: And, you know, the Ashby doppelganger is interesting because of
5:01
Speaker 3: the timing. You know, I don't know if you guys
5:02
Speaker 3: know this or got the memo. If you've been candy
5:05
Speaker 3: shopping yet. Tomorrow's Halloween.
5:07
Speaker 1: Oh, we got our candy.
5:09
Speaker 3: Because, I mean, wearing a brewer's uniform or something is
5:13
Speaker 3: a pretty easy costume.
5:15
Speaker 2: Everyone's going as a world champion Milwaukee brewer this Halloween.
5:18
Speaker 2: I think that's my costume, unless we've got the couple's
5:21
Speaker 2: costume I'm not aware of yet.
5:22
Speaker 4: There you go.
5:23
Speaker 1: That'll get put out tomorrow for you.
5:25
Speaker 3: Billy, as a resident gear guy, you and Armin, what
5:29
Speaker 3: did you think of the hoodies they wore on stage today?
5:31
Speaker 4: Beautiful.
5:32
Speaker 3: And then also those letter jacket type deals that are
5:35
Speaker 3: a thousand bucks a pop.
5:36
Speaker 1: That's a rack. Yeah, that's a rack. They're sweet. I
5:38
Speaker 1: was looking at those and Billy knows I'm always.
5:40
Speaker 2: Looking for a deal. Maybe I'm going to find a
5:42
Speaker 2: deal on those. No, I don't think you're DHK-ing that one.
5:45
Speaker 2: I don't think that one's going to have an AliExpress
5:48
Speaker 2: opportunity for you to get the good one. It's a
5:51
Speaker 2: sweet jacket. No doubt about it. Tough thing about it is, Drew...
5:55
Speaker 2: You're only wearing that a couple of times. Just like
5:59
Speaker 2: how sweet that all-white one was when the Bucs won
6:02
Speaker 2: the title. Good luck wearing that, especially if you're going
6:05
Speaker 2: to go to a game. If you're me, nachos or
6:09
Speaker 2: a pretzel with some cheese is laying right there on
6:11
Speaker 2: the center.
6:12
Speaker 1: So I struggle with it.
6:13
Speaker 2: I think my favorite part of the gear was, and
6:15
Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody else caught this, there's a
6:17
Speaker 2: big old Nike swoosh right down the sleeve. Did you
6:21
Speaker 2: notice who's there wasn't? Wild Bill, William Contreras, rip that.
6:26
Speaker 1: Son of a gun off. Michael Jordan slapped the Jordan
6:30
Speaker 1: logo right there on the side. I didn't notice that.
6:32
Speaker 1: Kids in on the marketing deal. Oh, yeah, he was in.
6:34
Speaker 1: But I really like the sweatshirt. I like the hat.
6:36
Speaker 2: I got the hat earlier on here today.
6:38
Speaker 1: That's sweet. I'm getting one of those.
6:40
Speaker 2: As there was a number of folks that had moved
6:43
Speaker 2: over to the Dick's Sporting Goods in Greendale.
6:46
Speaker 1: Not three-hour wait, about 13 minutes.
6:48
Speaker 2: A lot easier deal there, but- Drew, there's way more coming,
6:52
Speaker 2: and there's going to be so many Brewers Christmas presents
6:56
Speaker 2: and stocking stuffers in the next two months, but I
7:00
Speaker 2: imagine there's going to be some trick-or-treaters, and you might
7:03
Speaker 2: see the entire 26-man roster walking around trick-or-treating coming up
7:06
Speaker 2: tomorrow night.
7:07
Speaker 1: That's going to be wild. That would be the epic group.
7:09
Speaker 2: If you had the whole group costume, because people love
7:11
Speaker 2: the group costume, if you could get the whole thing
7:13
Speaker 2: or the whole bullpen or something.
7:15
Speaker 1: This is the time when I wish I had the
7:17
Speaker 1: Murph jersey.
7:19
Speaker 2: Yeah. Because at that point, dad could be Murph, and
7:21
Speaker 2: you feel a lot cooler at that point. Yeah, or
7:23
Speaker 2: if you were the ultimate flex, and you had William
7:25
Speaker 2: and Jackson, then you had the Daniel DeMontessor translator with
7:28
Speaker 2: you at 95, and he translated everything. That's another one
7:33
Speaker 2: that would be next level, but that.
7:35
Speaker 1: Would be a pretty good, the Murph jersey.
7:36
Speaker 2: That would be my wife, though, because she can understand
7:39
Speaker 2: when the gibberish really starts happening, so she would be
7:42
Speaker 2: a good interpreter on that one.
7:43
Speaker 1: Oh, that would be great.
7:45
Speaker 2: Then you just need somebody to be grooming her with
7:47
Speaker 2: sallow walking around behind. Not bad. Two more questions. Drew,
7:51
Speaker 2: as you got to see a lot of it, what
7:54
Speaker 2: were some of the underlying parts of it?
7:57
Speaker 1: You could tell the folks that really.
8:01
Speaker 2: Were giving her, Jake Bowers, really giving her, potentially one
8:05
Speaker 2: last celebration last time.
8:07
Speaker 1: With the squad.
8:09
Speaker 2: I was kind of surprised Abner Uribe and Trevor McGill
8:12
Speaker 2: were not more front and center. I thought that was
8:15
Speaker 2: maybe the shocker of the entire thing. Maybe smart that
8:18
Speaker 2: they didn't give those guys the microphone, but I was
8:20
Speaker 2: kind of surprised we didn't hear from those cats. I
8:23
Speaker 2: think they were afraid Trevor McGill in a microphone today
8:25
Speaker 2: would have been a terrible mismatch.
8:27
Speaker 3: I don't think that would have been best for anybody. But, well,
8:31
Speaker 3: Sal Freeler gave it pretty good. He let it ride,
8:33
Speaker 3: no doubt about it. No doubt about it.
8:35
Speaker 2: Ryan Braun becoming the Brandon Jennings of the Brewers.
8:39
Speaker 1: Is that the case that they're trying to make here?
8:41
Speaker 4: Man, he's become the ultimate hype man. He's really good
8:44
Speaker 4: on the mic, too.
8:45
Speaker 1: Great mic work.
8:45
Speaker 4: Really enthusiastic. He's really good. I didn't see him in
8:49
Speaker 4: that role, but holy cow, has he grown into it.
8:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, his statement of, you know, I said before game two,
8:55
Speaker 2: we didn't come here to take part. came here to
8:57
Speaker 2: take over. That is an absolute bar. That is a
9:01
Speaker 2: t-shirt worthy one to be able to enjoy. Were there
9:04
Speaker 2: a lot of folks buying the merch of the sweatshirts
9:07
Speaker 2: and hats and everything down at the Summerfest crowd? Because
9:10
Speaker 2: it did feel like there was a lot of people,
9:12
Speaker 2: there were a lot of people plucking a lot of
9:13
Speaker 2: different things down there. I don't know, did they have
9:15
Speaker 2: little stands set up throughout the gates or was there
9:18
Speaker 2: just too many swarms of humanity to be trying to
9:21
Speaker 2: do any of that?
9:21
Speaker 3: Mostly, I mean, mostly they were waiting in line for
9:23
Speaker 3: beers and Goolsby's cheeseburgers. But I think the bootleg guys
9:28
Speaker 3: outside were doing okay.
9:32
Speaker 1: I saw Billy's favorite.
9:33
Speaker 2: Now, those guys, yeah, they take card and Venmo and
9:36
Speaker 2: all that stuff.
9:37
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, you got to have a QR code. The
9:39
Speaker 1: first guy had the regular World Series champions kind of like.
9:43
Speaker 2: I don't know, AI type screen print shirt, 20 bucks, whatever.
9:46
Speaker 2: But then I saw Billy's favorite, like blank, I'm a brewer. B,
9:50
Speaker 2: I'm a brewer.
9:51
Speaker 1: Oh, that is the absolute best.
9:53
Speaker 2: I saw a couple of kids, but he wanted 25
9:55
Speaker 2: for that one. So I was like, man, 25 now
9:58
Speaker 2: for a guy in the street? But for blank, I'm
10:00
Speaker 2: a brewer.
10:01
Speaker 1: That is pretty good. I got to say that's the
10:02
Speaker 1: best one.
10:03
Speaker 2: I just can't see myself as a 42 year old
10:05
Speaker 2: man ever finding a situation where I'm going to wear that.
10:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to be a tough spot. Like, where
10:11
Speaker 1: am I going to wear that?
10:12
Speaker 2: But it is one of those kind of like. You
10:14
Speaker 2: want to meet the moment and get that? That's like
10:17
Speaker 2: a momentary time. Like, I'm enjoying this moment. It's one
10:19
Speaker 2: of those shirts that is outside of every NFL game
10:23
Speaker 2: every single weekend.
10:24
Speaker 1: There is just no chance. I'm a Viking. I'm a bear.
10:28
Speaker 1: Or I'm a Titan. Well, actually, I don't know that
10:30
Speaker 1: anybody's celebrating. Trying to tell themselves that they're a Titans fan.
10:34
Speaker 2: Drew, we're going to talk a little bit about last
10:36
Speaker 2: night with our buddy Wayne Larrabee coming up in about
10:39
Speaker 2: 15 minutes from right now. There's a little bit more
10:43
Speaker 2: news coming out in the NFL today. Jeffrey Simmons, we
10:46
Speaker 2: didn't really touch on it yesterday. Huge trade in the
10:49
Speaker 2: division as the Bears get the Tennessee Titans interior rusher
10:54
Speaker 2: defensive tackle. They trade two first round picks and a
10:57
Speaker 2: fourth for him. Now, Bears fans are excited. Jeffrey Simmons
11:01
Speaker 2: was up at the microphone today. He looks like potentially
11:05
Speaker 2: the Incredible Hulk.
11:05
Speaker 1: I mean, he is huge. He's ripped. He's scary looking.
11:09
Speaker 2: That's a huge price for a team that Drew apparently
11:12
Speaker 2: is deciding that they're all in here this year, thinking
11:15
Speaker 2: they got a chance to win this thing.
11:17
Speaker 4: This is their version of the Micah Parsons trade.
11:20
Speaker 3: More than a year later right this is their answer
11:23
Speaker 3: because that's about the price that they paid very similar
11:25
Speaker 3: right billy.
11:25
Speaker 2: Yeah pretty close right the two firsts and and kenny
11:28
Speaker 2: clark and two firsts and a fourth is pretty much
11:30
Speaker 2: right there on par jeffrey simmons a little bit older
11:34
Speaker 2: but the money is is locked in as he's under
11:37
Speaker 2: contract now instead of where parsons was you had to
11:40
Speaker 2: then give him the record-setting contract i think simmons was
11:43
Speaker 2: taken care of and i i want to say drew
11:45
Speaker 2: he's through 2030 so at least there's some costs some
11:48
Speaker 2: real cost certainty there as to what you're what you're
11:51
Speaker 2: paying all right.
11:52
Speaker 3: So where is he on the aaron donald game wrecking scale.
11:57
Speaker 2: He's a little different he's a little bit more of
12:00
Speaker 2: a slugger than that right he's a little little beefier
12:03
Speaker 2: a little bit more uh more of a meat eater
12:06
Speaker 2: but my man has got like 40 sacks over the
12:08
Speaker 2: last eight years And that's a crazy number from the
12:13
Speaker 2: interior to be able to have. He's a three-time Pro Bowler,
12:16
Speaker 2: four-time Pro Bowl selector, 44 and a half career sacks
12:20
Speaker 2: at the age of 29. He's forced eight fumbles. He's
12:23
Speaker 2: broken up 30 different passes in his career. But the
12:26
Speaker 2: other thing that he is, Drew, and this is one
12:29
Speaker 2: that you don't necessarily know until the guy probably gets
12:31
Speaker 2: into your building. He's just that bona fide badass that
12:36
Speaker 2: you want the attitude of a defensive player. Jeffrey Simmons
12:40
Speaker 2: is the exact attitude that people think of when they
12:43
Speaker 2: think of mean, nasty, and physical defensive linemen.
12:47
Speaker 1: So he's right there. He's maybe not as slender and.
12:51
Speaker 2: quick triggered as one uh aaron donald but he's a
12:55
Speaker 2: lot more like a chris jones where he'll just bowl
12:57
Speaker 2: right through you and run right into that quarterback it's.
12:59
Speaker 3: Hard to argue with their logic and adding a guy
13:02
Speaker 3: like this billy but is this their glaring need was
13:05
Speaker 3: this what they needed i mean obviously they're trying to
13:07
Speaker 3: change the the culture the tenor of their defense but
13:11
Speaker 3: was that If there was a position of need other
13:13
Speaker 3: than that, what would you have filled there for them?
13:16
Speaker 2: So when I first heard the news, I heard Bears
13:19
Speaker 2: trade two firsts and a fourth. My mind immediately goes,
13:24
Speaker 2: holy cow, they just made the Max Crosby deal.
13:27
Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
13:28
Speaker 2: They went and got the edge rusher that was going
13:31
Speaker 2: to be able to do what Montez Sweat can't do.
13:34
Speaker 2: Montez Sweat, he can test positive for certain things on
13:37
Speaker 2: his two-game suspension, but he can't pressure the quarterback right now.
13:40
Speaker 2: And he hasn't really since he went to the Bears.
13:44
Speaker 2: I thought that would be the place, but it is
13:46
Speaker 2: kind of more of their position to knee Drew again.
13:50
Speaker 2: You make these moves because of the moves that you
13:52
Speaker 2: made before. They traded Jervon Dexter, who was a second-round
13:56
Speaker 2: pick a couple of years ago, interior pass rusher, defensive tackle.
14:01
Speaker 2: They shipped him off and kind of punted on him
14:03
Speaker 2: in the beginning of the year. He's playing really, really
14:05
Speaker 2: well with Atlanta, and I think it almost opened up
14:08
Speaker 2: more of the whole forum. But if you're trying to
14:11
Speaker 2: stop the run, you're trying to stop a couple of teams.
14:14
Speaker 2: San Francisco, Seattle... I mean, you're not worried about the
14:18
Speaker 2: Packers running the football. We can tell they can't do that.
14:21
Speaker 2: But you're looking at trying to beat the teams in
14:24
Speaker 2: the NFC. And those are the only ones that I
14:27
Speaker 2: can think of that you immediately go, we need to
14:30
Speaker 2: counter with a badass three tech to be able to
14:32
Speaker 2: slow down this run game and kind of control the
14:34
Speaker 2: football game.
14:35
Speaker 4: Well, they didn't make this trade with the Packers in
14:37
Speaker 4: mind for sure.
14:38
Speaker 1: No. Right.
14:39
Speaker 2: Dude, 1.9. And I went back and sadly watched a
14:42
Speaker 2: little bit more of it. There's just nothing behind in
14:47
Speaker 2: front of Josh Jacobs to be able to make any
14:49
Speaker 2: kind of headway from last night.
14:51
Speaker 3: It's hard to figure. Don't you just have some runs
14:57
Speaker 3: that work because somebody blew a gap assignment or something?
15:01
Speaker 4: You just kind of luck into some runs? They're not
15:03
Speaker 4: doing that even.
15:04
Speaker 1: No, you're spot on.
15:06
Speaker 2: They're not even capitalizing on the seven-yard run because somebody overflows.
15:11
Speaker 1: I was going to say the Savion Williams run was
15:12
Speaker 1: the best one that worked. And I thought of you
15:16
Speaker 1: immediately when he gets the end around. But he went
15:18
Speaker 1: end around. He didn't go A cap. That's true, not
15:20
Speaker 1: up the middle, which is the arch nemesis.
15:22
Speaker 2: He is a weapon that maybe they could start using more,
15:25
Speaker 2: but I think you have to get creative because a
15:27
Speaker 2: lot of people say at postgame and matlet floor, you
15:31
Speaker 2: can't continue to be this bad running the ball if
15:34
Speaker 2: you want to go where you want to go. So
15:37
Speaker 2: maybe it'll improve. You know, it's hard to do that
15:39
Speaker 2: when you have linemen going down, but you have to
15:40
Speaker 2: get creative.
15:41
Speaker 3: We'll talk to Wayne about it because I still think
15:43
Speaker 3: play action helps freeze the linebackers out of habit, if
15:46
Speaker 3: only for a split second.
15:48
Speaker 4: But that's really all they need. And Love got the
15:50
Speaker 4: ball out so quick last night.
15:51
Speaker 1: Yeah.
15:53
Speaker 3: You know, they took, as usual, they took a couple
15:56
Speaker 3: of shot plays. But for the most part, he was
15:59
Speaker 3: getting it out quick. And I think that's become... That's
16:02
Speaker 3: the new running game for the Packers, is Jordan Love
16:04
Speaker 3: delivering the ball in less than 2.4 seconds.
16:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was phenomenal.
16:08
Speaker 2: And you could just tell that there was a special
16:13
Speaker 2: gear that he was able to hit last night. And
16:15
Speaker 2: they're a dangerous squad when he's going to do that.
16:17
Speaker 2: Who's Hot, Who's Not brought to you by Donovan Jorgensen,
16:19
Speaker 2: heating and cooling number one largest employee-owned HVAC company in

Speaker 2: in the playoffs here tonight? Number three, Oconomowoc at Heartland
16:51
Speaker 2: Arrowhead coming up today, a 2-3 matchup.
16:53
Speaker 4: They're familiar with each other.
16:55
Speaker 2: West De Pere, Milwaukee Reagan. Now, that's a 4 o'clock kickoff,
16:59
Speaker 2: so that one just kicked off and potentially is now over.
17:02
Speaker 2: Muskego hosts Franklin. Battle for our friend Luddy in the
17:07
Speaker 2: midst there. Bayport Nina, always hot. That's going to be
17:09
Speaker 2: a big one. And Armin, maybe an early leader in
17:13
Speaker 2: the Division I ranks for longest game traveled.
17:16
Speaker 1: In high school football today. I love that, yeah. Appleton North, Wanakee. Yeah,
17:21
Speaker 1: that's what, at least two and a half.
17:22
Speaker 2: That is no short track that you're making for that battle.
17:27
Speaker 2: But when you really want to win that one, you
17:28
Speaker 2: go to, right?
17:31
Speaker 1: That's a heck of a haul there.
17:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the Mike Heller Bowl. Oh, wait, he didn't
17:35
Speaker 4: go to Appleton North, but just saying.
17:38
Speaker 1: That's fair, though. That's the Appleton-Wanakee spot. Yes, sir. That's
17:42
Speaker 1: exactly him. Yeah, Butch was at West.
17:44
Speaker 2: Also, Regis-Fall Creek. Throw the records out when those two
17:47
Speaker 2: get together. Massive game in the D6 playoffs. High school
17:50
Speaker 2: football hot tonight.
17:51
Speaker 1: Enjoy it. Who's not hot?
17:54
Speaker 2: Everybody that wanted to hate-watch the Milwaukee Brewers? Yeah. during
17:59
Speaker 2: this playoff run, you had an unsuccessful one. And Drew,
18:02
Speaker 2: judging by MLB Network's programming, I get it just ended
18:05
Speaker 2: two days ago. I got a feeling we're going to
18:07
Speaker 2: be able to watch the recaps of these games night
18:09
Speaker 2: in and night out for the next.
18:11
Speaker 1: Six, eight, ten months.
18:13
Speaker 2: However long this lockout ends, we're going to watch these,
18:15
Speaker 2: or however long this thing goes, we're going to watch
18:17
Speaker 2: these games almost on repeat because they love that inventory.
18:22
Speaker 4: They do.
18:22
Speaker 3: And Little Birdie, sources close to my situation, name rhymes
18:26
Speaker 3: with fast scursion, said that if Once the lockout hits
18:29
Speaker 3: December 1st, they're going to do fun stuff like going
18:32
Speaker 3: back and trying to pick the best single season team
18:36
Speaker 3: since MLB Network started in 2009. And the 2026 Brewers
18:40
Speaker 3: will be prominently featured in that discussion.
18:43

19:41
Speaker 2: to live on and there's going to be some even
19:42
Speaker 2: better wise tales. That July 29th meeting where Yellich says,

Speaker 2: sports radio wisconsin It's the huddle, Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin,
22:02
Speaker 2: Drew Billion-Armin with you, celebrating a Packers victory from a
22:07
Speaker 2: night ago. The real celebration here today across the state,
22:11
Speaker 2: City of Milwaukee Brewers World Series champions in 2026, and
22:15
Speaker 2: the parade just concluded a couple hours ago. Everybody that
22:19
Speaker 2: is still making their way out of downtown Milwaukee, please
22:22
Speaker 2: be safe and enjoy. And you'll hear a little bit
22:24
Speaker 2: more of that celebration coming up in about a half
22:27
Speaker 2: hour from right now. Joining us now is the man,
22:30
Speaker 2: the myth, the legend, the Hall of Famer, and the
22:32
Speaker 2: voice of your Green Bay Packers, Wayne Larrabee. Courtesy of
22:35
Speaker 2: Miller Lite, legendary moments start with a light. Pottawatomie Sportsbook,
22:39
Speaker 2: your sport, our stadium, and Wisconsin Concrete Coatings. Wayne, not
22:45
Speaker 2: a game maybe coded in a lot of glory a
22:47
Speaker 2: night ago. However, you never apologize for winning in this league.
22:52
Speaker 2: It's difficult to do. And if I would have told
22:54
Speaker 2: people in June that you end the first eight games
23:00
Speaker 2: without Micah Parsons and you lose Edrin Cooper in the
23:03
Speaker 2: middle of it, you barely get anything from Josh Jacobs
23:06
Speaker 2: so far out. and you end at five and three,
23:09
Speaker 2: I think people would take it. The process looks a
23:11
Speaker 2: little weird, but get here eight games in, a lot
23:14
Speaker 2: worse places this team could find themselves.
23:17
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, Billy. But, you know, and I want to
23:20
Speaker 5: address your point, but, you know, that moment in Lambeau
23:24
Speaker 5: Field last night when the Brewers came out, you know,
23:27
Speaker 5: I've been doing Packers games now, this is 28 years.
23:31
Speaker 5: And that was one of the most electric moments I
23:34
Speaker 5: think I've ever seen at Lambeau Field. It was just phenomenal.
23:38
Speaker 5: And they brought the Commissioner's Trophy and the whole bit.
23:44
Speaker 5: And when Sal Prelick did that Lambeau leap into the
23:48
Speaker 5: south end zone stands and all his teammates followed him,
23:50
Speaker 5: that was just phenomenal. When you think about this, they
23:53
Speaker 5: were in Tampa the night before winning the World Series.
23:55
Speaker 5: By the way, I'm a little disappointed they clinched because
24:00
Speaker 5: What am I going to watch on TV tonight? I
24:02
Speaker 5: was so locked into watching all these playoff games, you know,
24:05
Speaker 5: every night with the Brewers. You know, Billy, I got
24:09
Speaker 5: nothing tonight. What do I got tonight?
24:11
Speaker 1: You can be like Armin.
24:12
Speaker 5: I'm a little P.O.'d.
24:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, Armin's going.
24:14
Speaker 2: To go watch their game from June 13th against the Twins.
24:17
Speaker 1: If you want, you can just go back and enjoy
24:19
Speaker 1: a bunch of them. We're just going to re-watch everything.
24:22
Speaker 1: We're just going to re-watch everything.
24:25
Speaker 5: No, what a phenomenal moment for the franchise and for
24:29
Speaker 5: You know, Wisconsin and just awesome. Hey, listen, you know,
24:34
Speaker 5: I'm an American League fan, but that was just great
24:37
Speaker 5: to see. And, you know, but Billy, to get to
24:39
Speaker 5: your point about the Packers, OK, this game last night
24:43
Speaker 5: and the Cowboys game, very similar to me in that
24:46
Speaker 5: the Packers could have blown those teams out. But the
24:49
Speaker 5: problem they're having is to... Well, there are a couple
24:52
Speaker 5: of problems, but I think the number one problem is
24:55
Speaker 5: because you can't run the football, it's hard to close
24:58
Speaker 5: teams out. So in the fourth quarter, though, I never
25:01
Speaker 5: felt the Packers were in a position to lose... you know, Hey,
25:04
Speaker 5: Carolina was eight points away, right? Eight points away from
25:07
Speaker 5: getting that thing tied because the Packers couldn't close them
25:10
Speaker 5: out with a round game. This is going to be
25:12
Speaker 5: in the, um, this is the biggest issue that Matt
25:15
Speaker 5: LaFleur and I know Matt feels this way and his
25:17
Speaker 5: staff base. Um, how do they cobble together a running
25:21
Speaker 5: game that is good enough to, you know, finish teams
25:24
Speaker 5: off in the fourth quarter, that type of thing. Um,
25:27
Speaker 5: how do you get cobbled together Enough of a ground
25:30
Speaker 5: game to support the passing attack because it's getting harder
25:34
Speaker 5: to make plays downfield, big plays downfield. And Jordan Love
25:37
Speaker 5: is having a tremendous year. But if you looked at
25:39
Speaker 5: his numbers, you'd say, wow, he's kind of had an
25:42
Speaker 5: off year, hasn't he? No, he's been outstanding. But drop
25:45
Speaker 5: passes and the fact that teams are scheming a little
25:48
Speaker 5: bit differently as we get into this season because they're
25:51
Speaker 5: not as worried about the ground game. This is really
25:54
Speaker 5: a concern because I think going forward, it's going to
25:56
Speaker 5: be even a major deal coming up here in November
25:59
Speaker 5: and December.
26:00
Speaker 3: Wayne, we've seen the Packers struggle to run the ball
26:02
Speaker 3: this year. That's not really new. But in your time
26:05
Speaker 3: at any point during your career calling the NFL, have
26:08
Speaker 3: you seen a guy transported to the hospital in an ambulance,
26:11
Speaker 3: transported back to the stadium in an ambulance and resume playing?
26:14
Speaker 4: Because that was a new one for me.
26:17
Speaker 5: And lead the team in what receptions and yardage. I'm
26:20
Speaker 5: over a hundred yards. That was, you know, when I
26:23
Speaker 5: saw Christian wants, he wants to go into that ambulance
26:27
Speaker 5: and says, oh my gosh, there he's gone. It's over
26:30
Speaker 5: for him. And I just felt so bad for the kid.
26:33
Speaker 5: Cause he's, you know, he's just a couple of injuries
26:35
Speaker 5: away from being one of the elite receivers in the
26:38
Speaker 5: in the league. You know what I mean? He's had injuries,
26:40
Speaker 5: major injuries over two of his first five years in
26:43
Speaker 5: the league. But you know what? He comes back and
26:45
Speaker 5: he plays. He's tough as nails. You know, I was
26:49
Speaker 5: happy for him and happy for the team, obviously, that
26:52
Speaker 5: he was able to come back and do that. But no,
26:55
Speaker 5: it was an amazing night last night at Lambeau Field.
26:57
Speaker 5: I thought there was a lot of juice in that stadium.
27:00
Speaker 1: It really was. And you're right.
27:01
Speaker 2: The electric factory that was the Brewers walking out. Coming
27:04
Speaker 2: into the game, I made a little detour through a
27:07
Speaker 2: little bit of the parking lot, said hello to some friends.
27:09
Speaker 2: And the number one question I got asked, not how
27:12
Speaker 2: are they going to guard Tedderow and McMillan? Who's going
27:14
Speaker 2: to get some pressure on Bryce Young? It's Are the
27:17
Speaker 2: Brewers going to be here? Is the trophy going to
27:19
Speaker 2: be here? The energy and the excitement was pretty palpable.
27:23
Speaker 2: One of the things that I was excited to see, Wayne,
27:25
Speaker 2: and we've been able to over the last couple of weeks,
27:28
Speaker 2: and Matt made mention of it with Rock after the
27:31
Speaker 2: game in the interview. Tyron Hopper just keeps getting better.
27:36
Speaker 2: seemingly every single time he's on the field and last
27:39
Speaker 2: night he gets a pick there's a sack a couple
27:42
Speaker 2: of quarterback hits really pressures the quarterback nicely and feels
27:46
Speaker 2: like they're finding a way to make make by without
27:50
Speaker 2: having their two inside linebackers because hopper has been so
27:53
Speaker 2: impressive in the last couple of weeks.
27:55
Speaker 5: You know, I got to say, of course, Isaiah McDuffie
27:57
Speaker 5: is very reliable. I mean, he's not a huge playmaker,
28:00
Speaker 5: but he is reliable. Whatever is there to be gotten,
28:04
Speaker 5: he will get. You know, but when I look at
28:08
Speaker 5: what Hopper's done, and you and I talked about this,
28:11
Speaker 5: we've talked many times over the years about this. Tyron
28:15
Speaker 5: Hopper is not Edger and Cooper, but he has a
28:18
Speaker 5: lot of those same athletic qualities that Coop has. And,
28:22
Speaker 5: you know, it's taken him a little longer. uh okay
28:26
Speaker 5: to kind of come up to speed here but we
28:28
Speaker 5: saw it on special teams last year this year and
28:30
Speaker 5: now we're seeing it linebacker um you know the kids
28:33
Speaker 5: playing with a lot of confidence and he and um
28:36
Speaker 5: deny dennis sutton wow you talk about two guys we
28:39
Speaker 5: weren't counting on they are just outstanding they were outstanding
28:43
Speaker 5: in that game last night.
28:45
Speaker 3: Wayne we've seen guys like hopper sometimes it takes two
28:47
Speaker 3: or three years to get up to nfl speed and
28:49
Speaker 3: they start to bloom and they never they You know,
28:52
Speaker 3: people expect rookies to be plug and play, but there
28:55
Speaker 3: is a learning curve for everybody. But how much of
28:57
Speaker 3: the credit goes to Tyron Hopper and how much goes
29:00
Speaker 3: to the coaching staff for developing him and staying on
29:03
Speaker 3: him and keeping him motivated to continue to improve?
29:07
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think their linebacking and defensive line coaching are
29:10
Speaker 5: excellent on this football team. I think their defensive staff
29:14
Speaker 5: is very good. And I think that's a big part
29:16
Speaker 5: of it. You know, it's coaching. Yeah. I mean, this
29:18
Speaker 5: is player development. When we talk about draft and develop,
29:21
Speaker 5: you know, the develop part of it is coaching. And
29:24
Speaker 5: then the other part is putting the kid on the
29:26
Speaker 5: field and seeing if he can do it. And so, yeah, Drew,
29:30
Speaker 5: I think that's a good point. I mean, coaching is
29:31
Speaker 5: a big part of that. And, you know... It also
29:36
Speaker 5: has to be the athlete, right? In the end, it's
29:38
Speaker 5: the athlete. Does he take the coach? Does he, you know,
29:42
Speaker 5: sacrifice and do the things you need to do to
29:45
Speaker 5: become a player like that? Hopper has the athletic ability
29:49
Speaker 5: to do it and be a nice player on this level.
29:52
Speaker 5: Is he entering Cooper? No, but you know what? He
29:55
Speaker 5: can be very effective, very good, and that's what we
29:57
Speaker 5: saw last night.
29:59
Speaker 2: Is deny dennis sutton playing his way into uh he's
30:02
Speaker 2: gonna be on the field regardless when micah parsons comes
30:05
Speaker 2: back his way and it feels like they're just gonna
30:06
Speaker 2: have to find ways to get this kid.
30:08
Speaker 5: On the field Yeah, I agree, Billy, you know, and,
30:11
Speaker 5: and just think of edge was still with, you know,
30:14
Speaker 5: able to play and wasn't injured. I mean, the playmakers
30:16
Speaker 5: they've got in that second level of the defense. Wow.
30:20
Speaker 5: So no, I think that I Dennis Sutton, yeah, they're
30:22
Speaker 5: going to continue. Boy, they better. I mean, they're developing
30:25
Speaker 5: this kid's developing in a hurry. You know, he was disappointed.
30:28
Speaker 5: He was picked up. I believe what was the fourth round.
30:30
Speaker 5: And you know, he was very disappointed. He thought he
30:34
Speaker 5: should have gone two rounds earlier and you know what
30:36
Speaker 5: he's played. yeah he was right.
30:40
Speaker 2: Yeah and Wayne you uh you were hitting it on
30:42
Speaker 2: the head a couple of weeks ago and you could
30:43
Speaker 2: tell you could feel it wasn't quite where he wanted
30:47
Speaker 2: to be wasn't quite the guy that he is and
30:50
Speaker 2: has been but over the last two weeks twice into
30:53
Speaker 2: the end zone now in two weeks and six grabs
30:55
Speaker 2: on six targets yesterday and a touch feels like Tucker
30:58
Speaker 2: Kraft is really starting to kind of round into form
31:01
Speaker 2: and get a little bit more confident in that knee
31:03
Speaker 2: and in his game.
31:05
Speaker 5: I think so, Billy. He's also an effective blocker on
31:10
Speaker 5: the outside of the running game. But they're starting to
31:14
Speaker 5: get him more involved, and he is starting to reach
31:17
Speaker 5: back to that potential, to the level he played at
31:20
Speaker 5: before the injury. And, you know, the other guy... I
31:23
Speaker 5: don't know if you guys can see it as much,
31:24
Speaker 5: but Devontae Wyatt is starting to make plays in the
31:27
Speaker 5: last couple of weeks that he didn't make the first
31:30
Speaker 5: month of the season. And I think he also, the
31:33
Speaker 5: big guys take a little longer to come back from
31:35
Speaker 5: those kinds of injuries. But Tucker Kraft, you're exactly right, Billy.
31:39
Speaker 5: And I think Devontae Wyatt is coming back to that level.
31:42
Speaker 5: And that bodes well for the Packers going forward.
31:45
Speaker 3: We are chatting with the voice of the Packers, Wayne Larrabee,
31:47
Speaker 3: here on the huddle. Drew, Billy, and Armand. Wayne, you
31:50
Speaker 3: can't have a good special teams night when you fumble
31:52
Speaker 3: the opening kickoff. But they cleaned up after that. And
31:56
Speaker 3: I've told Billy, and my theory on the kicking thing
31:58
Speaker 3: is it's not a crisis until it starts to affect strategy. Well,
32:02
Speaker 3: in the final minute, Packers could have tried a long
32:04
Speaker 3: field goal to put the game out of reach. And instead,
32:06
Speaker 3: they decided to punt, putting it at risk. It affected
32:10
Speaker 3: strategy last night, Trey Smack, I think. I think we're
32:12
Speaker 3: at that point now.
32:14
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it'd be interesting to ask Matt LaFleur.
32:16
Speaker 5: I don't know if he'd answer the question, but ask
32:18
Speaker 5: him about that. But, you know, guys, I thought the
32:20
Speaker 5: same thing. I said, you know, boy, I don't know
32:23
Speaker 5: if it was Mason Crosby. They probably kicked this field goal,
32:26
Speaker 5: you know, and make it a two score game. And,
32:29
Speaker 5: you know, that was very unusual, wasn't it, to see
32:32
Speaker 5: that situation where they went and decided to punt the ball.
32:35
Speaker 5: And then they took an intentional delay game penalty. And,
32:40
Speaker 5: of course, Dave Ganellis on the other side turned it down,
32:42
Speaker 5: and rightfully so. But my point is this. Yeah, you know, Drew,
32:46
Speaker 5: you're right. It does... come into play. I think it's
32:52
Speaker 5: safe for us to assume. We don't know because Matt
32:55
Speaker 5: hasn't answered that question, but it's safe for us to
32:58
Speaker 5: assume that, yeah, boy, it's starting to affect strategy, isn't it?
33:01
Speaker 5: And that's when it is an issue.
33:03
Speaker 2: We talked so much about the offensive line. We won't
33:06
Speaker 2: go piece by piece and guy by guy. But Aaron
33:08
Speaker 2: Banks goes in last night. Some of the numbers, pro
33:11
Speaker 2: football focus, not very kind to him or John Williams.
33:15
Speaker 2: I thought they were going up against Derrick Brown. I
33:16
Speaker 2: thought they acquitted themselves decently well against him. But the
33:20
Speaker 2: numbers over the last couple of weeks, especially the pro
33:22
Speaker 2: football focus pressure numbers, Wayne, very kind to Anthony Belton
33:27
Speaker 2: and Jordan Morgan. Feels like they're starting to perform a
33:30
Speaker 2: little bit better. Albeit last night, I didn't think the
33:33
Speaker 2: offensive line was a problem. Felt like Love had the
33:35
Speaker 2: adequate time he needed.
33:37
Speaker 5: Yeah, and on the stat sheet, only one quarterback hit.
33:40
Speaker 5: No sacks for Carolina, if I'm reading that right. No,
33:45
Speaker 5: I thought they... But you know where they're... The problem
33:48
Speaker 5: is in the running game. And I was listening to
33:51
Speaker 5: you guys on the driving hall... People were hinting, well,
33:55
Speaker 5: why don't they go get Jonathan Taylor? Oh, man, big
33:58
Speaker 5: time running back. Yeah, fine. I don't think he's going
34:02
Speaker 5: to have any more success than Josh Jacobs has had
34:05
Speaker 5: behind this line. I think they've got to block better
34:08
Speaker 5: up front. Very simple. No X's and O's. Got to
34:12
Speaker 5: beat your man up front a little bit better and
34:14
Speaker 5: give these running backs room to go. Because Josh Jacobs
34:17
Speaker 5: is a quality back. He's a lead back. He's a
34:19
Speaker 5: bell cow. And, you know, I don't... he whatever yardage
34:23
Speaker 5: he got last night guys it looked to me like
34:25
Speaker 5: he got it.
34:26
Speaker 2: On his own no doubt about it there there was
34:29
Speaker 2: not a whole lot there to be able to pounce
34:32
Speaker 2: on and be able to go grab because drew he's
34:34
Speaker 2: right there were a lot of folks that had some
34:36
Speaker 2: ideas we had folks trying to trade for offensive lineman
34:39
Speaker 2: which i'm always a fan of on on post game
34:41
Speaker 2: but i don't know that anybody's changing that round game
34:44
Speaker 2: uh instantly.
34:45
Speaker 3: No the ground yeah Yeah, and Wayne, to me, it's
34:48
Speaker 3: like they're adjusting a little bit with Jordan, too, because
34:50
Speaker 3: he's getting the ball out quicker than I remember him
34:52
Speaker 3: doing it in a long time.
34:54
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, they have to. I will say this, Billy,
34:59
Speaker 5: to your point earlier about the tackles, they seem to
35:02
Speaker 5: be steadying better. And, you know, last night, for example,
35:07
Speaker 5: Larry McCarron's offensive lineman of the game was Anthony Belton.
35:11
Speaker 5: He felt Belton played well, secured the edge, you know,
35:16
Speaker 5: got to the second level when needed, that kind of thing.
35:18
Speaker 5: So if the two tackles can come around to understand
35:21
Speaker 5: they've got issues inside, hey, we know that. But, you know,
35:25
Speaker 5: and Lake and Tomlinson moving to the right side where
35:27
Speaker 5: he's played only a handful of games in his entire
35:29
Speaker 5: career at right guard. I wonder if they'll change things
35:34
Speaker 5: up again going into New England. It'll be interesting to
35:37
Speaker 5: see how they handle the interior three on that offensive line.
35:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, going to be fun.
35:42
Speaker 2: Going to have some eyes on the New England Patriots
35:44
Speaker 2: coming up this weekend as they take on Jeff Halfley's
35:47
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins. Big game in the division, Vikings and Lions.
35:51
Speaker 2: That's one way I'm excited in Ford Field. There's a
35:54
Speaker 2: lot of times a Lions tax, a little tax for
35:56
Speaker 2: playing the Packers and the physicality in that game. That
35:59
Speaker 2: should be a very fun one in the division with
36:01
Speaker 2: a lot at stake.
36:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely. You know, and I think this is where
36:06
Speaker 5: Detroit gets Minnesota. I really do. But you're right. They
36:11
Speaker 5: come off a physical, emotional, tough ball game against Green Bay.
36:15
Speaker 5: How much will they have left in the tank? You know,
36:17
Speaker 5: the Packers had enough last night. left in the tank
36:20
Speaker 5: to get a win over Carolina. But, you know, Detroit, Minnesota,
36:24
Speaker 5: this should be really interesting to watch. It's going to
36:27
Speaker 5: be a fascinating ball game, in my opinion.
36:29
Speaker 2: Looking forward to it. Enjoy the weekend watching some ball.
36:32
Speaker 2: We'll have to make it through tonight. I was looking
36:35
Speaker 2: through some high school games maybe that we could get you, but.
36:37
Speaker 1: Maybe just take the night off, Wayne.
36:39
Speaker 2: Enjoy a couple of ice-cold Miller lights because legendary moments
36:42
Speaker 2: start with a light. And we'll talk and we'll reconvene
36:45
Speaker 2: on Monday.
36:46
Speaker 5: You got it, guys. We'll talk Monday.
36:48
Speaker 2: See, there he goes. Wayne Larrabee hanging out with us.
36:51
Speaker 2: Legendary moments start with a light. Might as well crack
36:52
Speaker 2: a couple. There have been a lot cracked over the
36:54
Speaker 2: city of Milwaukee. Legendary moments today started with hundreds and
36:58
Speaker 2: thousands and thousands of lights.
37:00
Speaker 4: Wow.
37:00
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting. Miz got the commemorative can.
37:03
Speaker 1: Everyone else.
37:03
Speaker 4: Oh, really?
37:04
Speaker 2: Maybe someone threw that one to him because I don't
37:06
Speaker 2: know how he got it. Unless that wasn't the tall
37:08
Speaker 2: boy that everyone had, the standard Miller.
37:10
Speaker 1: Lite can today. I thought that was interesting.
37:12
Speaker 2: How many of those commemorative cans are going to go
37:15
Speaker 2: just absolutely stanky in someone's basement for about 47 years?
37:20
Speaker 4: Most of them.
37:21
Speaker 2: We're passing those down to our kids in 30 years
37:23
Speaker 2: to not know what to do with in the garage.
37:25
Speaker 4: That's right.
37:26
Speaker 2: Everybody's dad had like those old beer cans in there.
37:29
Speaker 2: The one was like rusted on the top. And I
37:31
Speaker 2: remember my dad said, go get me a beer. And
37:33
Speaker 2: I grabbed it for him. And he looked at me
37:35
Speaker 2: and goes, you're way smarter than this.
37:37
Speaker 5: Nothing.
37:38
Speaker 1: You're way smarter than this. You know I wasn't drinking that. 877-794-1973. Drew, Billy,
37:45
Speaker 1: and Armin huddled up.
37:47
Speaker 2: We round third, head for home, and finish the celebration
37:50
Speaker 2: victory Friday up next. You're in the huddle on Fox
37:53
Speaker 2: Sports Radio Wisconsin. As folks were working on this, I
38:12
Speaker 2: have a buddy that works with that group, and they
38:14
Speaker 2: were working hard on this one, and.
38:15
Speaker 1: They pulled it off.
38:16
Speaker 2: Well, I dropped Drew off this morning, a little peek
38:19
Speaker 2: behind the curtain, right around 3, 3.15 after Packers OT, and.
38:24
Speaker 1: They already had certain spots of it.
38:26
Speaker 2: Blocked off because i did want to go see how
38:29
Speaker 2: many of you know the preparations were underway they had
38:31
Speaker 2: all the signage up i mean it was it was
38:33
Speaker 2: remarkable how in 12 hours from when we departed for
38:37
Speaker 2: lambeau field to how they had that thing dressed and
38:39
Speaker 2: ready to go for the morning when you know a
38:43
Speaker 2: couple of short sausage egg mcmuffins away people were already
38:46
Speaker 2: getting there trying to knock on the door and get
38:48
Speaker 2: in there and start partying.
38:50
Speaker 3: Yeah it was um Boy, and the city needed this
38:54
Speaker 3: on a Friday like this. And the fact that they
38:56
Speaker 3: shut down some school districts was pretty cool.
38:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, big ones. And, Armin, you're right.
39:00
Speaker 4: Maybe we'll do it again in a.
39:02
Speaker 1: Year or two.
39:02
Speaker 4: I hope so.
39:03
Speaker 2: I just want to do it all over again. I
39:05
Speaker 2: want to wake up this morning again and start over.
39:07
Speaker 1: If this was your brown hog day how would it.
39:09
Speaker 2: Be oh it would be great i would probably try
39:12
Speaker 2: to get to every location of the parade like 20
39:14
Speaker 2: times and then just experience it from a different spot
39:16
Speaker 2: every time this was the greatest man i mean we
39:18
Speaker 2: were lifted to the heavens and uh i i hope
39:21
Speaker 2: the feeling lasts a long time and i know a
39:24
Speaker 2: lot of people today had a lot of texts today
39:26
Speaker 2: we couldn't get to everyone i know everyone's sharing and
39:28
Speaker 2: feeling a lot of emotions thank you for a and everybody.
39:30
Speaker 1: We couldn't get to you.
39:31
Speaker 4: Sorry, but.
39:32
Speaker 1: We only have so many hours in the show, but
39:34
Speaker 1: it was just amazing.
39:35
Speaker 2: And wanted to bask in it and wanted to bring
39:37
Speaker 2: as much of the audio, and hopefully if you missed
39:40
Speaker 2: any of it throughout the day, you were able to
39:42
Speaker 2: catch it when we replayed some of it because the
39:44
Speaker 2: sounds from those guys at the podium, this is a
39:47
Speaker 2: full year, yes, climb and build, but Drew, they've been
39:52
Speaker 2: thinking about and dreaming about this their entire lives.
39:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they all said that this was as good
39:57
Speaker 3: as the actual winning of the championships.
40:00
Speaker 1: They were able to drink in the morning. I was
40:02
Speaker 1: going to say yes.
40:03
Speaker 2: If you missed any of it, we're going to replay
40:05
Speaker 2: some of it here next hour. But we did it, guys.
40:07
Speaker 1: Brewers won the World Championship. We did it.
40:09
Speaker 2: Brewers won the World Series. And we celebrated as only
40:12
Speaker 2: Milwaukee can.
40:14
Speaker 1: And we will on Monday.
40:15
Speaker 2: We'll bask in the glow of still the victories that
40:17
Speaker 2: have happened. And maybe another one coming in Iowa City
40:20
Speaker 2: as they battle for the Bull and the Heartland Trophy.
40:22
Speaker 1: For Drew Olson, Armin Sarian, I'm Billy Schmid.
40:25
Speaker 2: We'll huddle up and reconvene once again on Monday starting
40:29
Speaker 2: at 2.
40:31
Speaker 1: Peace!
40:31
Speaker 4: Yeah.
