• 0:26
  Speaker 2: On our program That's the perfect chef's kiss. I was
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: just going to say. Can't beat that. Chef's kiss. Now, conversely,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: if someone does a bad job, you want to award
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: a kick to the balls. What's that sound like?
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: When it rains, it pours.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: There you have it. Two ends of the spectrum. You
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: saved that one from Thursday night. Larry McCarron on the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Packers Radio Network.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: Unfortunately, as I was producing the game and as we
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: were going through, I was writing some stuff down, notes, times.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: There was too many of those moments.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: To save, I was like, oh, that would be a
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: good kick to the balls. Oh, that would be good.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Next thing I knew, I had five candidates. I'm like,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: this is not how I want this to go. This
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: is not the way the game should go. Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Well, since you started that way, I was going to
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: go in a different direction. But since you started that way,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: a game ball. To BA Rock, Lev, Sophia, Dilly, Craig.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Well done. What a hell of a year. Their last show.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: They had a great year.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Brewers TV in its first season of them taking the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: rights away and just doing it themselves with MLB, the production.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Chef's kiss.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: They were already good, no matter who they've been with.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Since the Midwest Sports Channel days. Oh, yeah.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: MSC.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Fan duel and ballet sports. Fox Sports North. Fox Sports Wisconsin.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: They have a core of guys. And a lot of
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the camera guys that work for the Brewers are legit.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Dwayne Rodriguez, a friend of the program. Hardcore pros. He's
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: in Rio with CBS. He's like one of the lead
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: CBS guys for NFL games and stuff. So he's like
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: some of the people don't realize how good the crew
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: is in Milwaukee.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: My man Tom Dorner out there. I know. Yeah. Tom's good.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Like those guys, they're top notch. Like every one of
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: them in the truck, John Walsh, the director and Brett Reland.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: And they, they, they're fantastic. And we get spoiled because
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: we have such good shows to watch and it's, it's
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: win or lose. You're going to see a good show
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: with the Brewers TV crew. But, man, they're just top-notch.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: That was it. We don't get to see them again
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: until next season.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: I was going to say, now they will maybe do...
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: I don't think they'll do some pregame shows. I don't
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: know exactly what their contractual rights will be with MLB
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: basically owning most of it.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: But my game ball was going to be to MLB for....
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: For offering up and, and while not offering it up,
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: but having to bring those in house and doing such
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: a good job with it around the different markets. But
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: the real game ball is the fact that a brewers TV,
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: while the a hundred dollars subscription for the whole season
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: that you could get to watch the Milwaukee brewers games,
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: you do the 200 and you watch all the games
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: and you watch every single game as the first year
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: as an MLB TV subscriber that you could watch the
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: brewers and then flip over to any single game possible.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: That was the best summer viewing experience ever. bar none
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: baseball wise that is.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Um yeah that i know uh sunday ticket has its
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: merits the only reason to buy sunday ticket to me
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: is if you're a displaced fan if you're a packers fan.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: Who lives in like you know jackson youtube youtube quad
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: boxes uh so nice that's pretty nice but i i
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: will say like that product has always been great but
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: the fact that you get your local team along with
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: the the rest of it and there's.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Nothing better like Hey, the Brewers just won. I'm not
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: ready for bed yet. Oh, you know, Diamondbacks Padres are
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: having a good game.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Boom, throw that on.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: Their big inning, their version of red zone, it gets
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: better each and every year. They do like three or
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: four nights a week, which is really, really solid. And yeah,
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: I mean, you can flip on every once in a while.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: I'll flip on the radio call if necessary. The recaps,
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: it's just a very, very good product. All the addition,
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: there weren't a ton of additions. You were hoping that
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: there just weren't going to be a ton of subtractions.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: One addition for Brewers TV, which was solid, and I
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: don't know who gets credit for it. Who's flying the drone?
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: The drone, yes. The drone's amazing.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: The drone is phenomenal on Brewers. I remember early on,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: it was like, are they going to the drone too much?
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: I'm like, no, these drone shots are sick, man.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I loved it. They're awesome.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: You know, once upon a time, it really is, you know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: a thing that you have to think about. Once upon
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: a time, to get those shots, they had to send
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: a pilot up in a plane or a blimp or,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: you know, maybe a chopper. But, you know, that was
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: a big deal. The Miller Lite flight. What did they
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: used to call the Miller... The Miller Eagle was the plane.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: That got the shots. And obviously blimps. But now with
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: that drone, they were getting some pretty shots. Pretty cool.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Whoever's flying it, it's added an extra thing to the broadcast.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I like that. The dirt cam. They've done a good job.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: All of it. All of it. And you're right.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, no matter what, for fans, they'll realize sometimes
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: the channel might change, the ownership, who's operating the broadcasts.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: But the people have been the same, right? The continuity
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: of the continuity there. And they're all really good.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: The humans behind it have been the same. They've all
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: done a really good job navigating all that.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: It's like the best group of people. I dabbled with
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: those guys.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Like I was kind of like a pseudo teammate of
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: theirs 15 years ago. And they're all still there, like
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: in the booth with, you know, in. in the booth
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: with rock and be a Renee, their floor director. She's
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the nicest person in the world. It's like, they have
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: such a good vibe. It's just such a, everybody's like,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: it's a great workplace. They have, doesn't it speak to it,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: drew the workplace. They have the people there, the talent
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: that has chosen to stay there, right?
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Like for sure.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: While we've seen Jeff get a lot of different opportunities,
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: BTN and FS one wise. I think there's a lot
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: of other opportunities that he's had probably baseball wise. to
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: go to other markets bigger markets for probably different paychecks
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: uh and stayed uh didn't have to didn't the only
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: lock in here is being here and enjoying it and
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: ba has been here for 20 years and has probably
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: had damn near hundreds of opportunities to go and take
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: full-time gigs other way other places and has chosen to
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: stay here for a lot of different reasons that group
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: number one it's.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Something something i don't know if it's true and i'm
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: sure ba would tell us but Something deep inside me
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: likes to think that, like, of all the great things B.A.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: does in broadcasting, national and whatever, French Open, all the
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: great worldwide sports and a big stage, he probably feels
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: like it's really enjoyable to come home to doing his
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Brewers games.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I've spoken to him about that very fact because he's
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: a Texas guy and he could live literally anywhere he wants.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Much like you, he's chosen to live here. If you're
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: going to be one of those dudes, like Kevin Harlan
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: for years has lived in Kansas City, right? Being in
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the middle of the country, not having the cross country
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: is a good idea if you're going to be one
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: of those guys who travels nationally.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Now, B.A.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Is going to do the American League because Fox has
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the NL. So Brewer is going to be on Fox
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: and FS1 and all that through until they get.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: To the world series. So they got Brewers.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: We're, we're riding with Fox. I was going to say,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: so we get the Beloit Buccaneer, Joe Davis.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I'm down. Folks can say he favors the Dodgers, but
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: you know, whatever.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: What ba was doing the game would he favor the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: bruce no they're pros they they do it down the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: middle they sell the moment no matter what it is
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: i remember ba selling that third uh otani home run
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: just enough yeah yeah.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: He has to be a professional he didn't i don't
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: like playing with the broadcaster but of course you did
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: talk about the brain thing the mike brain thing how
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: he had to kind of keep it in with and
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: he was a total pro the next of course yeah
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: i like i liked uh joe buck though had uh
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: breen and mentioned to him he's like hey make sure
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: though you do give the hat tip though he goes
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: nick's fan don't make don't worry about it to the
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: point where you're underselling it because for him being the
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: 24 year old cardinals kid that was calling the world
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: series be like oh don't be doing this no doubt
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: no doubt um another game ball while we're thinking of
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: it because we went brewers first game ball Wild Bill
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: William Contreras, who is like a glue guy and a
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: heartbeat of the Brewers in many ways, works with that
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: pitching staff.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: What he did Friday night on his ground.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Amazing.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: When he was benched a day after being benched for
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: not running hard on a ground out as he slides
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: headfirst into trying to beat out a routine ground ball.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I almost fell out of my chair laughing. It was hilarious.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: And Murph, too, the quick shot to Murph going, hey,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: what are you doing, man? Come on, shaking his head,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: losing his mind. That's how we communicate.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: That's how we communicate. How do you like me now, Murph?
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Is that good enough for you? Did I hustle enough
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: for you?
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: It was hilarious. Exactly the way it's supposed to be.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, how great is that, you know?
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: And for... the middle of the end of the year
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: where Murph mentioned it, the crowds being able to understand
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: what was, you could hear the little bit of a
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: giggle on the TV broadcast. People were in on the joke,
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: which made it a little bit better at that point too.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Epic. How about game? These are two game balls. Okay.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: Two of two of my favorites to watch. And as
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: a 32 year old, I've watched Justin Verlander and Max
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: Scherzer pretty much my entire sports life. And they both
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: walk off the mound. Verlander for sure for the final
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: time on Saturday.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Scherzer, not sure. He said, yeah, maybe.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: Maybe I'm done for sure. I don't fully know. Because
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: he did shove for seven plus. And he's like, well,
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: I don't know. Somebody's going to give me 20 million
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: to do this again. Maybe I could go and find
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: a round number and get to a 20th year if
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: I actually want to. But just in case, can you
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: guys clap?
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but make sure.
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: Let's do the celebration in case I want to like
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: the kid that goes through senior day going into the
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: NFL draft process. He's like, I don't know for sure
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: that I'm going to go might also go to the
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: transfer portal, but I'm definitely going to do the senior
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: day celebration. The Verlander one was about as cinematic a
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: sports moment as there has ever been as AJ Hinch
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: walks out to go get them in the sixth inning
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: and they're starting to start against the tight the Pirates
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: for the Tigers. Then waves over, gets his daughter to
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: come and get him off the mound. The place goes
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: absolutely bananas. Everybody's in tears. I dare you to watch
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: it and try not to have tears in your eyes.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Impossible. I did not expect it.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: I'm sitting there washing the dishes, letting some stuff run
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: on Twitter or YouTube or whatever it was, and all
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: of a sudden I see it, and I'm just like–
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: I was just like– For a second, I mean, it
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: was so emotional, and my knees were buckling. It was
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: so amazing to see that Verlander moment with his daughter
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: coming out to surprise him on the mound, the way
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: she ran out there.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: It was so cool.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: That's what makes sports great is a moment like that,
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: and you just say, Justin, overcoming the motion. What a special,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: special thing to see. And, you know, if you're a parent,
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: I guess it hits different as well, and that's part
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: of it. But, yeah, I dare you, Billy, absolutely did
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: not have tears. It was very For Love of the Game-esque.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: Because it was Tigers and it was a veteran. Although,
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: and for love of the game, I think he finally
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: got back together with Jane and her daughter Heather afterwards.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: The perfect game. But whatever.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: That's not a big deal. We can rewrite the script
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: if we want. But that was just an awesome, awesome
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: moment to see.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: And you're right, Billy.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: If you want to feel that warm feeling in the.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: In the hearts, that's the one to watch right there.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: It was pretty sweet. Can I give a game ball
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: as well to something? 1-0-3.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: The Brewers finally doing something this weekend that I've been saying.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: This is not about me, okay? This is not about me.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: This is about the guy that's going to get the
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: game ball. But I've been saying this all year. We've
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: been calling him the captain. Let's just make it official.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: And finally, the Brewers made it official, making Yelich the captain,
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: the first one in Brewers history, giving him the C
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: and an extra game ball to him.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: For making sure they cleared it with Rob and Jan first.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, how perfect is that?
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, if that's not leadership, if that's not the
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: stateliness of a captain, I don't know what else is. Finally,
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: the Brewers, it was long overdue to actually issue a captain,
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: official captain to somebody.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: I love it. I want to get the little C
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: for a jersey, for a yellow jersey. I hope they're
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: selling that.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: Like, can you can you get by the little C
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: just to I'm.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Sure they'll I'm sure they'll find a way.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: I was going to say they're definitely going to probably
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: seven ninety nine.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: We'll slap it on the one thing you've already bought here. Well-deserved, though.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: And I like the way the vibes going into the playoffs.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Good vibes going into the playoffs. We're making this official.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: Christians are captain and we're making sure everyone knows it.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: I'm glad you mentioned the jersey t-shirt. Now, the shirzy
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: with the C is going to go really hard. I
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: want that one. That's going to look very hockey jersey-esque.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: The C looks cool because there's different ways that you
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: could do it, right? But I think that they put
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: it on there very well. It was also, what, maybe
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: like 10 feet away from a, talk about cinematic moment,
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: his first at-bat coming up. in with the sea the
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: fly out i mean if he puts that thing just
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: beyond the wall i know i'd be sprinting to the
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: pot of otomie sportsbook the next moment to bet him
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: to go to the world that would have been a
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: pretty sick moment too yeah um but that was cool
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: to see that i just.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah that was cool the fact that he cleared it.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: With robin i just i don't know man i just
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: that's amazing to me you.
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: Know now uh robin the i i did see some
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: people saying that they thought it was paul molliter online That.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Should have been, or that was... He would have had
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: to clear it with Paul Mahler. No, it's Robin. Oh,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: that's not it. Now we're going to get into it.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: That's not it. Now we're going to get into it.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Now we're going to get into it. Who was the
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: true first Brewers leader? Who was the first true Brewers leader? Correct.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: One could argue it was Ted Simmons back in the day.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Ted Simmons was a very emotional heartbeat. He was that
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: guy on the 82 team.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, Robin was the MVP that year,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: but he was still a younger player.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: George Scott? It was... It's Robin. It's Robin.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to see if I could get this.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Christian Yelich's first act as a member of the Brewers
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: was to hop on Mark Adonazio's plane to fly for
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: his presser, and they picked up Robin Youker on the way.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: They stopped at Phoenix and picked up Robin Youker. Hey,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: do you want to go to the Fan Fest? I mean, yeah, sure,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: I might as well. Sweet, I'll pick you up. Who's
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: coming with us? Oh, only the Hall of Famer Robin
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: Yowt and Yuki. Okay, sounds good. And his first series
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: was great.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: They were going to Brewers on deck. That was it.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: And I think Braun was on that flight, too.
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: Because I think they get signed, what, like the Thursday before.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: He gets traded right around the weekend that they're about to.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: And obviously the Kane thing happens the night before. So
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: that's a phenomenal, phenomenal time.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Phenomenal. All right.
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: Game ball to... Well, two of them here, but first
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: one to Luke Fickle's sweatshirt. Unofficial results from when the
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: team vest was ditched after the Oregon game a year ago. Now,
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: it was mostly because of rain contingent conditions against Washington,
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: where it was an absolute washout.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: On November 8th. But.
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: Unofficial Big Ten results since the hoodie has been instituted
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: on the sideline and not the T-E-A-M team vest on
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: the back.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Badgers are 3-2 in Big Ten play. This is a
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: big upgrade, and I think this is something he's going
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: to go with. Holy cow. Badgers are 3-2 in Big
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Ten play since the vest has come off.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: And sometimes you don't know where the vibes are going
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: to come from, but clearly it wasn't from getting rid
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: of the vest, so stick with it.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Now, I do have one question.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: If we're sticking to Fickle's athletic aesthetics... If you guys
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: like that. Should he start wearing a hat when it rains?
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: I've seen some people talk about that. When it rains,
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: he just lets the.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Rain just fall. It's wet. Keep it up or wear
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: a hat? No, no, no, no. Keep it going.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: Keep it rolling because that is as wrestling guy as possible.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: Just running as many stairs and just letting the sweat
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: drip right off of your brow.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: But in all reality, the Badgers get their first Big
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: Ten road victory since October of 24 yesterday with the
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: win over the Penn State Nittany Lions. And the biggest
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: game ball out of all of them goes to one
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: Colton Joseph. Tried to potentially throw him out of the game,
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: but to be continually let it keep ripping. 18 of
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: 38 is not too great. The rushing attempts, though, Drew.
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: why he was brought in, why he was as coveted
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: in the transfer portal as he was. He ran it
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: 13 times and it wasn't necessarily always designed. There were
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: some where he was just getting up because the Penn
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: State coverage in the back end was too good and
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: the rush had flushed him out. But to run it
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: 13 times, get in the end zone for the first
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: time and make it 17-7 is gave a little bit
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: of the celebration, and you could tell that when he runs,
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: the energy on that team is palpable. Their offense could
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: have scored three to four more touchdowns. They left a
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: lot of meat on the bone, and Colton Joseph is
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: going to help them get there. But him being able
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: to put three picks to bed, you lose what? 90%
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: of the games in which you throw a pick six in.
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: Probably 98% of the games that you throw a pick
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: six and then drop one yourself in the fourth quarter.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: That would have been the game leading interception. Badgers be
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: able to win that football game.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Huge. And hey, good, good thing. What money can buy?
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: And the quarterback being able to come on in here
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: from old Dominion paid a nice price for Colton Joseph.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: He's making that money count right out of the gates. Absolutely.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: And the fact, like I said, I mean, he's healthy.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's a luxury that batters haven't had for
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: a while to have a guy. They can rally around
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: the guy that they paid for, uh, play for them.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: So things are, you know, things.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Are looking up. That's it. That's a win.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: The program needed that fickle needed with, without a doubt
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: in the worst way.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Um, and now we'll see if they can build on it.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: Biggest win, biggest win in the, uh, Luke fickle era
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: and the two other, uh, big time game balls. And
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: I mean, big ones to Hammond Russell, the fourth big
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: number 91.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Pair of big ones had a pause.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: Um, Hammond had a sack and a half, two TFLs,
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: a PBU that led to big perk, Charles Perkins, his
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: brother getting the interception right next to him. Oh, there's
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: days that a big man can have upfront that are good.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: Not as many as good as what Hammond Russell put
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: together this weekend. That's as phenomenal a day as you
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: can have as a D tackle.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: And as long as we're handing out the Cardinal and
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: white game balls, we mentioned it before Javon Robinson. Oh,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, He had three PBUs in the game, two
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: on the last drive that were game savers.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Absolutely special plays with a great burst. One, he was beaten,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: and he covered a lot of ground to get there.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: He comes about 15 yards out of the screen to
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: be able to get the one.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Spectacular.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I think he had like 10 targets and only allowed
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: two catches.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: Senior from Orlando and another guy that, I mean, you
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: start looking at the groups that have come through here.
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: Javon Robinson, he talked to LePay before, I want to say,
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: the Western Illinois game. Guaranteed, he's the fastest guy on
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: the team. He was on the Arizona State team, though,
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: in 2024. That went to the college football playoff. He
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: deed up an individual on that Texas Longhorn team quite
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: a bit. Matthew golden in that game quite a bit. He,
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: he compared that day, this Badgers team to his son
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: devils from Arizona state said one that nobody is counting
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: into the equation, but in the end of the day,
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: you're going to have to deal with the Badgers that
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: we're going to be one of those teams that you're
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: going to have to deal with in November. So First
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: way to do it is winning there in Happy Valley.
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: And now they're not creeping up on anybody. You pull
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: off that win, everybody's going to take you a little
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: bit more seriously when you roll into their park.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Get us your game balls and kicks. 877-794-1973.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: First half of the show is flown by. Scott Dolphin
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: will be in. He's riding a wave right now. We'll
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: talk to him.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: He's feeling it. And there's a big game ball being
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: handed out when Dolph gets here, too. Big one. Big one.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: You're in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio. Who do you
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: go to? I'm going to throw a touchdown. I think
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: you've got to go to Stringer again. I like it.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Or Vanami or Van Der Seek.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Well, you know it's going to be a jump ball here,
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: so you want to go to somebody tall. 17-yard line
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: of Michigan for the win.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Iowa down five. Empty backfield.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Here's the snap. Brown straight back. Throws to the corner
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: of the end zone.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: Caught!
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: It's caught! Touchdown, Iowa! Touchdown! Touchdown, Iowa! The game is over.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: The Hawks have won it.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: The game is not over.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: The ruling of a touchdown is under review.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: The game is not over. The ruling of a touchdown
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: is under review.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Reese Vandersee caught the pass backing into the end zone.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: He ran to the front pylon on the far sideline,
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: and Brown delivered a beauty.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, baby.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Thanks for that, Armin. Game balls, gigs. That's the Iowa
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Hawkeyes radio network. Oh, my God.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: With Gary Dolphin, whose brother Scott joins us for halftime.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: What a finish in Ann Arbor.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, my. I don't like the ref editing him like that.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Come on. That was... Priceless timing. Priceless. The game is over.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: The game is not over. It's not over, son. It's
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: not over, son. Was it over when Western Michigan thought
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: it was over? It's not over in Ann Arbor until
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: we say it's over. Was it over when the Germans
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: bombed Pearl Harbor? No.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, man.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: Dude, and the best thing is, so I'm in here...
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: doing the Wisconsin game, getting ready for the post game show.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: And Matt and Mark are finding out about it and
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: kind of real time, probably within 20 minutes that it happened.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: They find out that the game is over and they
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: want it. And right away, LePay goes, oh, I can't
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: wait to hear old boys call that one. And the
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: first thing I open is the video. And to see
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: the binoculars, he's on the binoculars dialed in. First off,
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: the first video, his audio is about 10 seconds behind
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: the video. Makes it way funnier. Then they sync it
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: back up. Game ball to Pat Anger. Pat Anger deserves
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: a huge game ball in the moment. Now you're talking
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: about a son of a gun that played a lot
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: for the university of Iowa, Bentford, Bentford, Iowa. Yeah.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: He is a Hawk true and through starting linebacker for
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: the Colts for what? I don't know. Six, seven years.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: He puts his hands on Gary and you know, he
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: wants to lose his ever loving mind, but he's like,
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to say anything.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: I'm not interrupting the call. I'm not breaking in.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: So good to not step on it because it was
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: phenomenal audio.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Him high-fiving. I don't know if he had the spotter
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: in the background. All of it.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: They're high-fiving like, let's celebrate here but not bother Gary.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was classic. I still don't know how they
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: won that game.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: And then you sent me just on the video of
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: the student broadcast, which is the way it should be,
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: where they're going crazy and hugging each other.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: The students are hilarious. What a highlight on Saturday.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: The Badgers winning, the Brewers going 1-0-3, and then tonight
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: we get to watch Dolph's beloved Bears with the Case
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Keenum experience.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: 38 years old.
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: My fondest memory of Case Keenum was the one year
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: I played college fantasy football.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Which was an awful experience. I wasn't good. But Case Keenum.
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: Was my quarterback and rewrote the NCAA record books. I
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: want to say to this day, he's the only quarterback
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: to have 20,000 yards of total offense. I think he
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: had three straight 5,000-yard passing seasons.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: For the Cougs. The Cougs, yes. He was unbelievable.
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: He was the man for three or four years down
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: there in Houston. That's my fondest memory. And now he's
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: played for everybody three times. I think he's played for
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: the Texans three times. He's played for, yeah, you're right.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Vikings, right?
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Big year, I think. Houston, 12, 13, 14, and then
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: also reunited with Houston in 23-24. His tax guy's going
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: to have a hell of a time. Oh, my God.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: One of the ultimate backups in the NFL because he
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: proved that he can win just enough.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: He can win just enough to keep you in it.
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: And deliver the ball and deliver the goods to get
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: you to the NFC title game and had enough people
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: believing in Minneapolis that they were going to roll into
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: Lincoln Financial Field and somehow win that NFC title game.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: And instead, they just got absolutely pants. That's one of
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: his best things is building up that kind of he
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: hasn't played since twenty twenty three.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: In a game because he was out all of 24
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: with injury. And then he's with the Bears last year
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: and this year.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Didn't play last year.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: It's going to be an interesting experience. Now, the big
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: question to me is at three o'clock, we're going to
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: find out if Caleb Williams goes on.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: I are has to miss four games or if it's not.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: It's grade one. Like, what does that mean? We'll get.
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: I thought I thought for sure it was going to
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: be for. Well, maybe if you count. No, I heard
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: four weeks, so I would assume he's going on IR, right?
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: You would think they need the roster spot and that
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: they would, you know, adjust.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: You would think, however... And Bajan's.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Been cleared in the protocol, so if anything happens to
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Case Keenum, Tyson Bajan plays, right?
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he was a full participant at practice on Saturday,
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: but obviously not game ready against the Eagles defense.
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: Now, as much as it's been the hot topic to
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: say Caleb Williams is soft, I watched him way too
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: much at Oklahoma. and I watched him at USC, I
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: believe it was, in the Big Ten Championship game. I
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: thought somebody needed to go and pull him out for
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: his own well-being. The injury that he had in that
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: Big Ten Championship game, he just would not go out.
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: He would not leave. I actually believe they're going to
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: hold him off of IR to just give him every
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: chance because whatever emotional boost you want or feel like
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: you might need, he's going to give you that whenever
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: he comes off of IR. It comes off of the
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: bench and onto the field. And if it's that's three weeks,
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: it's worth going out there with 52 guys. If you
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: can get him back one week early.
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: I mean, clearly he is, you know, not still a
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: line from Reggie Jackson, but he's the straw that stirs
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: that drink and their playoff hopes are probably done. If,
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: if he's going to miss more time than that. So yeah,
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: maybe it's a good idea to keep him off the aisle.
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: Well, as, as Colin Cowherd said on, on this airways
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: a couple of last week, when he was defending the,
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: the fist pump coming off of the field.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: He's the hope for the whole city. The whole state.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: It all revolves around him. He thought his season was over.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: That's why he was so emotional. It's true. Despite the
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: fact both of their baseball teams made the playoffs. How
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: about that?
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, both are in, and both had tremendous celebrations. I
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: don't know anybody celebrated more than our boy Morikami, though.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, he was the best. My boy was having a
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: phenomenal time.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: And that was also, I guess, a tribute to Kawasaki,
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: the Blue Jays player in the mid-2010s. I love that,
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: but he was having a great time with his interviews
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: with Brooke Fletcher, which I enjoyed a lot. Yeah, you're
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: a big Brooke Fletcher fan. Big Brooke Fletcher fan. A
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: lot of, yeah, it was wet in there.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Morikami's fun. Oh, yeah, he's awesome. He's hilarious. And, yeah,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: I just love that whole thing. The White Sox. What
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: a great story they've been all year.
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: The White Sox lost 223 games the last two years.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, and that makes it more impressive than anything else.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Incredible. Yeah, absolutely.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: As opposed to the and then the flip side of
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: the excitement of it, like the Phillies, right? They're barely
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: make it by the skin that we haven't given them
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: anything yet because I don't know if it's a game
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: ball or kick the ball. But like the Phillies could
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: have clinched as early as Wednesday last week and they
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: went to the final day.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: And we were all saying it's going to happen probably tomorrow,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: probably Friday. And it gave, you know what?
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: And it gave my dad a chance to once again
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: bring up the 64 Phillies. He's like, he wants to
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: talk about the great Phillies collapses all the time. So
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: that was just, that was another wild one.
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: He almost had another one. And then you had the
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: Rangers go down to the final day. Rangers and Astros.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Who's going to go? Which is funny because the AL
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: West is like, does anyone deserve to go? I know.
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: All right, because I'm sick, I did have to look
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: up the Case Keenum college numbers. He is still the
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: all-time FBS Division 1A, what that used to mean, leader
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: in completions for 1,546 college completions, for 19,217 passing yards
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: all-time record, and the all-time record of 155. Passing touchdowns.
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: That's not bad. That's not a bad career there. He
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: also started 13 games as a true freshman.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was.
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: 20 years ago. Dude has been playing football for 20
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: straight years. 2006, I think, was his freshman year.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: And just continued to roll. He was unbelievable. He'll be
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: starting tonight for the Bears. Go figure. Go figure.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: A pair of seasons where he threw for 5,600 yards
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: and 44 touchdowns.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: He made $ 60 million in this league. Pretty good. Was
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: that Mouse Davis back then at Houston? I wonder. You
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: know better than me. I don't remember Andre Ware. That
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: might have been. Andre Ware was good. I don't know
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: the rest of it. I've lost the plot on that.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Houston football. That's just wild. Pretty amazing stuff there. So, Dolph,
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: how about them Brewers?
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: 103, man.
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: You know, the amazing thing was, think about where they
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: were in early to mid-May, and we're like, okay.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: 13 and 13. Yeah, you know, just kind of middling.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: And then, you know, we said, well, they're going to
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: get some bodies back.
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: That's going to help. And then all of a sudden,
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: this pitching staff just took over.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Now, it was great.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I think it was Dom Catronio did an exercise walking
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: around the club. I was asking him, buddy, what was
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: your favorite game of the season?
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Really cool. Yes.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: And it's like, there were so many answers. Like, Miz's
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: complete game shut out. Against the Phillies. I was there
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: that night. The Cubs game from a couple of weeks ago.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: The comeback, the walk off.
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: One that I left early in the beginning of the year,
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: I think it was the first home series of the
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: year against the White Sox, where they are down five
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: or six.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Three run shots of flip. That kind of set a tone.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: And then there was the terrain walk off against the Yankees.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Was that a mother's mother's day? That whole series was impressive.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: They swept the Yankees, swept the Yankees. But to me,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: and just one man's opinion to me, it's the Friday
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: night in in.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: L.A.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: They'd just been swept by the Padres and it was
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: looking bleak. And then they came off the mat and
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: came back and beat L.A. and then ended up winning
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: that series.
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: I was going to say Thursday night because it was
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: the first game of that series.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: It was the first game of that series. And wasn't
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: it also the Packers' first exhibition game? Packers' first preseason game.
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: And we had a two-hour and like 45-minute postgame show.
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: We ended up getting to watch the entire thing.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Unfold, and it was like, that was the comeback. That's right.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: They won three out of four. Otherwise, we both would
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: have missed the entire thing. Everyone would have been asleep.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: They won on Thursday and Sunday, and those were the bookends.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Like, that series that told you, I was like, oh,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: because the Padres thing is like, oh, they got boat raced.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: It was awful. And it's like.
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: And I don't know if it's just that it's the
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: most communal experience outside of Summerfest, maybe more now because
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: it is the 11th day in a row. But Drew,
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: I watched that Wednesday Padres game at State Fair kind
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: of wandering through. Man, the collective moans and groans when
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: they lost. I think they lose in like 11 innings
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: that day. Yeah, it was an extra inning game and
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: everybody's watching it. Dolph at the worst bar and camp
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: bar throughout. Yeah, and everybody floods out really disappointedly. So
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: it felt like there were many people that believe they
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: were going to lose the division.
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: I think a lot of us did because the fact
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: that now you got to go to LA to take
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: on the battle Dodgers and the Cubs were gaining right
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: at that point of the season.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: It was a three. Yeah, something like that.
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: So, yeah, to go into L.A. and take three out
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: of four, and they haven't lost that momentum since. How
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: many series have they won in a row to end
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: the season?
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a good question. The Padres was the last
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: series they lost, wasn't it? I think they lost another one.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Did they lose one other one?
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: Am I wrong?
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: I think they did, but I could be wrong. Yeah,
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: I think so. Out East, maybe.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: Lost the Reds series in September, so September 7th.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's what it was. It's just amazing. But it's been,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: the role that they've been on has been unbelievable.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, and we did, we gave Contreras a game ball
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: for his head first slide. His response to being pulled
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: for not hustling out a ground ball. First at bat,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: routine ground ball. Slides head first. I love it. But
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: that day, he's got such big huevos. The challenge, he
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: hit like five in a row on the challenges on
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: the tap, and one of them was to end an inning,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: and he was in the dugout by the time the thing...
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. That was so baller. So nasty when
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: he walked off. That was sort of like.
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: This is a deep reference for somebody, but The three-point
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: shootout in 88, that was Larry's third one. He walked
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: off during the final shot with the finger up in
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: the air, and he knew it was a guy.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: No, it's a deep reference, I guess. That's not a
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: deep reference. It's only 38 years old. It's only 38
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: years old. What are you talking about? But he was
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: walking off, and it was also close. I mean, that
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: was barely in the zone. I mean, the way he
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: walked off, I mean, that was nasty. You got to
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: love having a guy with that kind of aura and swagger.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Who won the slam dunk
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: that year, Armand? Do you remember? Well, I think it
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: was probably Jordan. It had to be.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: Or Neek.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: It was Jordan. That was the Jordan Neek one. That
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: was the big one. That was the one, the dunk
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: from the foul line. That was.
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: But everyone thought they cooked the score on Neek's second
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: dunk or third dunk because of it being in Chicago.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Whatever. Do you have the tape of that one? I've
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: got not that actual. Yes.
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: Well, here.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: I don't have the tape of that contest. I have the.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: All-Star Saturday night.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: I've got the tape of the Foot Locker NBA All-Star
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: Action special that I got for free for buying a
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: Bucks or a Hornets at Foot Locker.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: I remember I was talking about it.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: I was like, look, if I get a hat, they're
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: giving away this free VHS of it was called NBA
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: All-Star Action. The greatest players and plays. I'm like, this
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: is a good deal, mom. I can get the hat
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: and the tape. Back then it was like 20 bucks,
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: you know?
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. You did a good job selling that one, huh?
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: No, it was a Hornets hat, I think, because everyone
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: had a Hornets gear in the 90s. But don't worry,
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: the bucks were my team.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Teal was all the rage in 1988.
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: I remember when the San Jose Sharks became a thing.
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: people were losing their minds over that jersey just because
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: of the teal.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: Pretty much every uniform change or expansion team in the
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: 90s had teal or purple at some point.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: The Jags, absolutely. Marlins, they were huge with the teal.
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: Rockies had the purple. Everybody fired it in. The Ducks
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: had the purple and the teal. 12 of 13 series
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: victoriously started with that Dodgers.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: 12 of 13.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: You can't be playing any better than they are. You
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: can't have it set up any better than they do.
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: As we said, Drew, there might not be a numerical
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: value to winning 100 games into the playoffs, but they've
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: only done everything you can, and there's no negative vibes
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: rolling in here like a Woody press conference telling you
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: that he's going to get shut down on Tuesday.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: There's no box unchecked. Now, will they win the World Series?
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: It does feel like this could be the year, but
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: it's such a Random crapshoot in baseball.
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you, I sure as hell hope so, because
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: every single time I'm at the Pottawatomie Sportsbook for our
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: Thursday night huddles, it feels like I can't walk out
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: of there without another Brewers to win the World Series ticket.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: If they don't, I'm going to be in trouble.
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: We'll be there Saturday and Sunday looking forward to the
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: first two games anyway. And if you're the Cubs, you're thinking,
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: if you're a Cub fan, you're like, ah, damn it.
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: Got to go to San Diego. 9 o'clock starts every
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: single night.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: On Peacock. On Peacock. Is there a Peacock? Yeah.
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: How about that? Oh, my goodness. How about that?
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: Man, Mikey Ballgame somewhere is losing his mind with a
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: 9 o'clock start.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Is that better than your 2 o'clock start?
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: Well, they still have a 1 o'clock start there in
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: the Braves and Phillies, but I'd rather have 1 o'clock
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: than 9.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: So what time are the Brewers playing Saturday? What do
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: you think? Uh, I'm guessing it's the afternoon.
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: Late afternoon because you're looking at the Yankees or Red Sox,
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: whoever wins, that's going to Tampa.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: It's a Dodgers. You know, the Dodgers are the Phillies.
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: Dodgers, Braves, Braves. So that one might go in there.
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: They're definitely not putting them in the late night game, right?
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: It's going to be Dodgers, I would assume.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, unless it's Padres and Brewers. I don't know.
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: So there's four games. There's four games on Saturday. If
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: it's Padres, Brewers, they got a shot to be late.
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: They got a shot to be later. There's a hot
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: rumor out there that it's going to be AL, AL, NL, NL. Yeah.
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: One post-game show host is really hoping that's the case
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: because then everybody can enjoy the celebration after the Badgers
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: beat Sparty on Saturday.
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: Also, the Brewers game, I don't want to put the
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: cart ahead of the horse, but if they win, go
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: to the NLCS. There's only two games that day, and
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: that's the same day the Bears play the Packers, so
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: we're hoping for an evening game on the 11th of October.
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and we were really hoping for that to be
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: the meeting of what are you actually going to do
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: in the household? Brewers and Cubs, game one of the NLCS,
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: if the bracket would have fallen right.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: And then Bears-Packers. Oh, what a day. That's what I
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: was rooting for. Got thwarted, but nonetheless.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Well, Dolph, good luck with your third string quarterback tonight
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: against the Eagles.
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: I don't have high hopes, but hopefully they keep it close.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Keep it close. That's what you hope for. Thanks, Dolph.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Appreciate it. We're going to continue taking your game balls
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: and kicks of the balls. You're in the huddle.

• 37:38
  Speaker 5: Three weeks it takes for something to build a habit
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: to come on in? So then you triple it up
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: and then you're fully into it by the time. All
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: of those slackers come in on January 1st.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Exactly. You know everything you're doing. You're rolling.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: So it's like, yeah, seize the last quarter of the year.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: The fourth quarter is the most important, October, November, December. Now,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: it's laden with pitfalls because of Thanksgiving, Halloween candy, and,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: of course, Christmas. But if you get started, then you're
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: not behind the eight ball. So use these three months.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you start early to maintain and set your base.
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: It also then gives you a little bit, you can
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: feel a little bit better about that third Christmas cookie
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: when you.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Know you're doing it.
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: Lord knows I'm going for those peanut butter ones with
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: the Hershey's case in the middle.
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: Those things get absolutely deleted. What do they call those?
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: There's a name for them. I can never remember what
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: they're called. I just call it the kiss cookie.
