- 0:00Speaker 1: Headquarters. Yes, we are heading into a summer weekend. It's
- 0:03Speaker 1: going to be glorious. Got the US opening golf, got
- 0:05Speaker 1: the World Cup in soccer. We've got the Brewers playing
- 0:10Speaker 1: the Braves. We have Summerfest and various other festivals and
- 0:14Speaker 1: gatherings throughout the good Land, which is dominating our awareness.
- 0:18Speaker 1: And oh there's this looming story about a Greek freak
- 0:23Speaker 1: who has been part of our community for what thirteen years?
- 0:26Speaker 2: Thirteen years and learned a lot of things about Greek
- 0:31Speaker 2: life here, and he learned a lot about American life,
- 0:34Speaker 2: not as much as our boy Freddy is learning from
- 0:36Speaker 2: the World Cup, going around Callifanting and going to the
- 0:38Speaker 2: Ella Langley concert last night.
- 0:39Speaker 3: But man, wash the dude grow up.
- 0:42Speaker 2: And now it looks like he's growing a little bit
- 0:43Speaker 2: out of his small town route.
- 0:45Speaker 1: We think so, but nobody knows what's gonna happen. You're
- 0:48Speaker 1: hearing the rumors. Bill Simmons keeps weighing in, and you
- 0:52Speaker 1: know he had the Doc Rivers on and is it
- 0:55Speaker 1: gonna be the Miami offer? Is the Miami offer enough?
- 0:58Speaker 1: Is there another team involved with I've said it before.
- 1:00Speaker 1: You can't get value for Giannis. You can't replace him,
- 1:04Speaker 1: so you try to do the best you can in
- 1:05Speaker 1: the situation. Yep, we should we I mean emotionally, and
- 1:10Speaker 1: I guess this is the question for Arman, is it's
- 1:13Speaker 1: you know, yeah, true billion Arman Arman Like, emotionally, we're
- 1:17Speaker 1: ready for this. I feel like most fans that I'm
- 1:19Speaker 1: taught come across, they're kind of numb to it.
- 1:22Speaker 3: They're kind of over it, and they just want to
- 1:23Speaker 3: know one way or the other.
- 1:25Speaker 1: We'll take whatever decision it is and we'll move on
- 1:27Speaker 1: with our lives. But just this purgatory of sitting around
- 1:30Speaker 1: and wondering what's going to happen not the best situation.
- 1:34Speaker 3: I think that's an accurate pulse on the on the
- 1:37Speaker 3: fan base, I do.
- 1:38Speaker 4: I think we've heard a lot of that, and I
- 1:39Speaker 4: feel that's true that a lot are ready for quote
- 1:42Speaker 4: unquote this all to be over, which I always kind
- 1:45Speaker 4: of get annoyed by because I think it creates a
- 1:47Speaker 4: narrative in some fans heads that isn't really necessarily true.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Kind of went through it like the far thing lasted
- 1:53Speaker 1: longer long time than the Rogers departure pretty much right.
- 1:58Speaker 4: But the biggest difference with the farv thing is I
- 2:00Speaker 4: still think a majority I don't want to say this right,
- 2:04Speaker 4: I think a vast majority of fans still were wishing
- 2:07Speaker 4: and hoping he.
- 2:07Speaker 3: Didn't believe and didn't believe he would ever leave.
- 2:10Speaker 4: And I think it was the last vestige of an
- 2:12Speaker 4: older sports time where we truly believed that players would
- 2:17Speaker 4: always stay with their teams and we didn't accept that
- 2:19Speaker 4: they were probably gonna leave. I think after that was
- 2:22Speaker 4: sort of a demarcation where, you know, we just talked.
- 2:25Speaker 3: We just talked about that the other day. The the
- 2:28Speaker 3: malitor and them thing.
- 2:29Speaker 4: I think would hurt about the maletor the thing, and
- 2:32Speaker 4: I was a young boy, but I remember.
- 2:33Speaker 3: It very briefly.
- 2:34Speaker 4: What hurt a lot of people is they just assumed
- 2:36Speaker 4: the players would be with their teams forever. So like
- 2:39Speaker 4: the idea that somebody would leave for any reason wasn't
- 2:41Speaker 4: really part of.
- 2:42Speaker 1: An equation if they were a great player was a
- 2:45Speaker 1: Minnesota guy, but he did live year round in Milwaukee,
- 2:48Speaker 1: and he saw him around and he was in the
- 2:50Speaker 1: community and active, and.
- 2:52Speaker 4: Like you think of those guys like most of the time,
- 2:55Speaker 4: if they if they were wanted by their teams and
- 2:58Speaker 4: they were good enough, their choice was just to keep
- 3:00Speaker 4: resigning with their team.
- 3:01Speaker 3: That's the way it.
- 3:02Speaker 4: Was, and you realize that that's not always the way
- 3:04Speaker 4: it was. So I think fans have accepted that now
- 3:07Speaker 4: and therefore saying our time is done with Giannest, It's
- 3:09Speaker 4: time for us to move on. Let's just let this
- 3:11Speaker 4: break up happen. But but then some people push back.
- 3:15Speaker 4: I mean, say, armor, not every fan feels that way.
- 3:17Speaker 4: That's just what you see on social media. So sometimes
- 3:20Speaker 4: I question that as well a little bit.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Yeah, and we have now there are some Packers players
- 3:25Speaker 1: who make their year round home in Green Bay.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Zavid McKinney one of them. Yes, I was surprised to
- 3:31Speaker 2: hear that. Yeah, I talked really glowingly about it. It
- 3:33Speaker 2: was save some money, Yeah, save some cash, and like,
- 3:35Speaker 2: you know.
- 3:36Speaker 3: I want to go on vacation.
- 3:37Speaker 2: I'll go somewhere, but I'll I'll get to hang out
- 3:39Speaker 2: here and live and hang out and yeah, knocket buck out.
- 3:42Speaker 1: That was pretty cool. But I was just I have
- 3:45Speaker 1: this thought because of the Maltar thing. And again you're
- 3:48Speaker 1: you're right, arman, but when you know the fireman Rogers,
- 3:52Speaker 1: the fact that Joe Montana didn't finish his career in
- 3:55Speaker 1: one place, and then Tom Brady didn't like Peyton Manning
- 3:59Speaker 1: did Hayton didn't it mounts Man It's like it's it's
- 4:02Speaker 1: the the outliers who stay with one team. Yeah, It's
- 4:06Speaker 1: like Steph Curry and the Kobe and like there aren't
- 4:08Speaker 1: that many of them.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Well, and will will Patrick Mahomes stay with the only
- 4:11Speaker 2: the Kames City Chiefs.
- 4:12Speaker 3: That's a great question.
- 4:13Speaker 2: Right now, they've given him the first half a billion
- 4:15Speaker 2: dollar contract in the NFL, but odds would indicate at
- 4:19Speaker 2: some point that Will will head towards.
- 4:21Speaker 1: So I'm just thinking, is you honest, will you honest
- 4:23Speaker 1: be the last Milwaukee superstar to live here full time?
- 4:28Speaker 4: Well, I don't want to say last. I don't ever
- 4:30Speaker 4: want to believe nothing can happen again. I think there's
- 4:34Speaker 4: it's like, okay, so that would be.
- 4:36Speaker 1: So I'm looking at like miss Or Cooper Pratt. Cooper
- 4:39Speaker 1: Pratt's from Mississippi's gonna be out of Milwaukee on the
- 4:41Speaker 1: first thing smoking because he's gonna go hunt and enjoy
- 4:43Speaker 1: better weather. Mills will probably live in Arizona because you
- 4:46Speaker 1: want to live and to be able to and to
- 4:49Speaker 1: be able to throw and to live and enjoy the
- 4:52Speaker 1: off season.
- 4:53Speaker 3: I don't know that.
- 4:54Speaker 1: People are going to be bunkering in for Wisconsin winners.
- 4:57Speaker 1: And it's different in basketball because you're working during the
- 4:59Speaker 1: winter and we know summers here are glorious. So you know,
- 5:03Speaker 1: Bobby Portois made.
- 5:04Speaker 3: His own marr. He's not a superstar obviously, but well
- 5:06Speaker 3: that's the thing. I think that's the thing.
- 5:07Speaker 2: The other tough one is the superstar of that caliber
- 5:11Speaker 2: is going to be ever gonna be hard to ever
- 5:13Speaker 2: get somewhat close to even if they reached, you know,
- 5:17Speaker 2: all star status.
- 5:18Speaker 3: I don't know that Michael Red was hanging out here
- 5:20Speaker 3: during the off seasons right back to Ohio.
- 5:22Speaker 2: They would go back to Ohio, so like, uh and
- 5:24Speaker 2: and that would be the closest thing he had before
- 5:26Speaker 2: was Ray I mean he was very very young at
- 5:28Speaker 2: the time he I know they were very and they
- 5:32Speaker 2: were very uh impactful in the in the community.
- 5:35Speaker 3: Wow.
- 5:36Speaker 1: When he first got here, I think Ray Ray Allen
- 5:38Speaker 1: had a flat. He ranted, like a flat on the
- 5:41Speaker 1: east side and a friend of mine like lived he
- 5:44Speaker 1: lived like on the downstairs and she lived upstairs.
- 5:46Speaker 3: Like how cool would that be? Ray Allen?
- 5:50Speaker 2: Wow, that is pretty it's it's it's a great one
- 5:54Speaker 2: because you're you're right. For a player on the Brewers
- 5:58Speaker 2: to make their their home here full time is a
- 6:02Speaker 2: is a choice. It's also almost prohibitive to them continuing
- 6:07Speaker 2: to get better because you can't play as much and
- 6:09Speaker 2: as in the right space to as you can down
- 6:11Speaker 2: in Arizona. For a basketball player, you also have to
- 6:14Speaker 2: find the right kind of guy that enjoys this kind
- 6:17Speaker 2: of living and enjoys, you know, lake life during the summer.
- 6:20Speaker 2: I Bobby Portis came from Arkansas, probably enjoys fishing, probably
- 6:25Speaker 2: enjoys hanging out in a little bit more of the
- 6:27Speaker 2: country style that you can find there that you can
- 6:29Speaker 2: drive to here.
- 6:32Speaker 3: It's a great one, most likely would be.
- 6:34Speaker 2: And and I've as I've seen more people bringing up
- 6:37Speaker 2: the possibility of him returning, Drew, It's not that I
- 6:41Speaker 2: don't want Giannis to be a member of the Bucks.
- 6:45Speaker 3: I'd love for him to be a member of the Bucks.
- 6:48Speaker 2: I'm so sick and tired of this every single three
- 6:53Speaker 2: month cycle that I think at some particular point it's
- 6:56Speaker 2: or get off.
- 6:57Speaker 3: The pot situation. As will say this, And.
- 6:59Speaker 2: There's much on and on both sides right like the
- 7:02Speaker 2: Bucks do not have to move him. This is a
- 7:05Speaker 2: self imposed theoretical deadline of the draft. Yes, there's absolutely
- 7:10Speaker 2: no reason you need the thirteenth pick. That's not going
- 7:14Speaker 2: to make or break your franchise. The thirteenth pick in
- 7:17Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six NBA draft. Now, when the fourteenth
- 7:21Speaker 2: pick a couple of fourteen years ago worked out that way,
- 7:24Speaker 2: then cool. There's no chance that you understand that, you
- 7:26Speaker 2: know that that's going to be the case. So you
- 7:29Speaker 2: can absolutely wait until some team you know doesn't get
- 7:33Speaker 2: what they want in free agency and offers up more,
- 7:35Speaker 2: or somebody has an injury closer towards training camp and
- 7:39Speaker 2: offers up a little bit more. Somebody realizes that there's
- 7:42Speaker 2: more contention because their favorite player, their top player, was
- 7:45Speaker 2: discussed in the deal during the offseason, they pout, piss
- 7:49Speaker 2: and moan for four months, and then all of a
- 7:51Speaker 2: sudden the deadline that that offer gets better.
- 7:53Speaker 3: That's very likely, but I just in seeing.
- 7:56Speaker 2: The NBA, the most NBA thing would be for this
- 8:01Speaker 2: to go to October first, for Giannis to sign the
- 8:04Speaker 2: extension and then get traded one year later, because that's
- 8:08Speaker 2: what all that's what most of the great players that
- 8:11Speaker 2: have moved teams have now done in recent memory. I
- 8:14Speaker 2: think from Giannis's perspective, and maybe this is where we
- 8:19Speaker 2: ultimately get to. It would be a tough one to
- 8:23Speaker 2: work through, you know, mathematically, in your mind, he might
- 8:28Speaker 2: also be looking at I could just decline the player
- 8:30Speaker 2: option and be a free agent and go sign where
- 8:34Speaker 2: I want where I want to go, and I can
- 8:35Speaker 2: if I do one more year, then I would do
- 8:37Speaker 2: one more year. But I don't know that the Bucks
- 8:40Speaker 2: are gonna want to put him out there without the
- 8:41Speaker 2: certainty that he's going to re up.
- 8:42Speaker 3: So what all great players have done now?
- 8:45Speaker 2: Damian Lillard, how the Bucks acquired him with four years
- 8:47Speaker 2: of control. Kevin Durant did it when he left three
- 8:51Speaker 2: different places. James Harden has traded in looks to get
- 8:55Speaker 2: a new contract in knowing that at some point you're
- 8:57Speaker 2: gonna get When we just saw with Tray Young declined
- 8:59Speaker 2: forty nine million dollars because he knew he was re
- 9:02Speaker 2: upping for three more years wherever he ended up going.
- 9:04Speaker 2: A lot of teams have then signed the player and
- 9:06Speaker 2: then traded him. I wonder if that would be the move.
- 9:08Speaker 2: Then Giannis could fully dictate where he wanted to go.
- 9:11Speaker 2: He'd have to be the full on bad guy though,
- 9:14Speaker 2: which he has not wanted to do, and it might
- 9:16Speaker 2: have costed him this year.
- 9:17Speaker 4: That's the one thing that that's the difference. I think
- 9:20Speaker 4: Gianness has not been willing to do that or to
- 9:21Speaker 4: say that. In fact, he's kind of tried to go
- 9:24Speaker 4: the other way as much as possible, to play chicken
- 9:26Speaker 4: with the whole. You know, during the trade headline, the
- 9:29Speaker 4: Instagram post or the Twitter post about I'm not going
- 9:31Speaker 4: anywhere with the Wolf of Wall Street clip, it's almost
- 9:33Speaker 4: like he's tried to do the opposite, to bend over backwards,
- 9:36Speaker 4: to say I will never ever say I want to
- 9:38Speaker 4: be traded or I will never be the person because
- 9:40Speaker 4: he doesn't want to be blamed for Will he eventually
- 9:43Speaker 4: settle on doing that.
- 9:44Speaker 3: It's possible.
- 9:45Speaker 4: I'm not sure, but I think Billy, you hit it
- 9:46Speaker 4: right in the head and you capture the pulse of
- 9:49Speaker 4: it when you say it's not that fans don't want
- 9:52Speaker 4: him on the team or don't think they're better with him,
- 9:54Speaker 4: it's that they think the Bucks can be eventually better
- 9:57Speaker 4: off by using him as an asset. They will have
- 10:00Speaker 4: to and therefore they want it to be over with
- 10:02Speaker 4: instead of hearing about it every three months or not.
- 10:04Speaker 4: But then I asked myself, the question, is that just
- 10:07Speaker 4: going to be the contract of the nature of having
- 10:10Speaker 4: a great, transcendent player at that level is that you'll
- 10:13Speaker 4: always be insecure about them leaving, and they'll always be
- 10:15Speaker 4: a question about them leaving. I wonder if that's just
- 10:18Speaker 4: the nature of having a great player. I'm not sure
- 10:20Speaker 4: if there's a utopia where we'll never have to worry
- 10:22Speaker 4: about that. It's like if you date, if you date
- 10:24Speaker 4: the hottest supermodel of all time, you'll probably be insecure
- 10:27Speaker 4: about it. But that's the trade offer dating a supermodel.
- 10:30Speaker 4: So I'm not really sure, But that does seem to
- 10:34Speaker 4: be the case for a lot of fans. Been on
- 10:36Speaker 4: the nickolaelat dot com talking text line. The honest situation
- 10:40Speaker 4: reminds me of Farvron rodgers Old that I was less
- 10:42Speaker 4: packers and more of the player. The Bucks are an
- 10:44Speaker 4: interesting organization. It doesn't appear things have gone well since
- 10:46Speaker 4: has them. The Jimmy has some question is an interesting
- 10:49Speaker 4: one because the deadline Billy that you brought up was
- 10:52Speaker 4: kind of the first time we heard him say a
- 10:53Speaker 4: lot as Bucks owner about that.
- 10:58Speaker 2: That's the first time we've heard Jimmy Haslam say anything
- 11:00Speaker 2: basketball related, anything really true?
- 11:02Speaker 3: Yeah, right, like.
- 11:03Speaker 2: Anything basketball fought or conviction. Yeah, you're not wrong.
- 11:07Speaker 5: Uh.
- 11:08Speaker 3: And I don't know, maybe it was just me.
- 11:10Speaker 1: Didn't Peter Fagan have more of a voice, you know,
- 11:13Speaker 1: and in previous dealings about stuff like this.
- 11:16Speaker 3: Well, and that's the other part drew the Bucks organization.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Josh Glessing is now the president and we haven't heard
- 11:20Speaker 1: much from him.
- 11:22Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like kind of laying sitting back.
- 11:24Speaker 1: They're all kind of sitting back because I don't know,
- 11:26Speaker 1: there's no way to message this and it's on going.
- 11:28Speaker 1: That's the other thing was like, I still I think
- 11:32Speaker 1: I think John Horse is doing everything he can to
- 11:35Speaker 1: keep you honest here because that's what he's been doing
- 11:37Speaker 1: for the last several years. And that's he's done a
- 11:40Speaker 1: good job of it. People ask him, what do you
- 11:42Speaker 1: think of John Horse's gym? Well, his job one is
- 11:44Speaker 1: keep you honest in town and he did that. You
- 11:46Speaker 1: signed that box. Now have they done you good drafts?
- 11:50Speaker 1: And no, not necessarily? And player acquisitions and did they
- 11:53Speaker 1: give up too much for Ja Crowder?
- 11:54Speaker 3: Sure?
- 11:55Speaker 1: But they kept you honest, and they did. They brought
- 11:57Speaker 1: him Dame and then they stretched him. So everything they've
- 11:59Speaker 1: done has been with Giannis in mind, and that's his job.
- 12:03Speaker 3: That's the job one it was.
- 12:05Speaker 2: It was to keep so keep the team somewhat competitive.
- 12:09Speaker 2: And and again when Giannis was on the floor, what
- 12:12Speaker 2: were they close to five hundred?
- 12:13Speaker 6: Like?
- 12:13Speaker 3: And he played thirty six games this year.
- 12:15Speaker 2: So, like, I have seen more and more people throwing
- 12:19Speaker 2: that out there of the Bucks could in all reality,
- 12:22Speaker 2: I don't know that it's the best move. It's not
- 12:23Speaker 2: the one that I would make of say, we're gonna
- 12:28Speaker 2: do the Prince Fielder approach. We're a load up, We're
- 12:31Speaker 2: gonna take one more swing at this thing and see
- 12:32Speaker 2: what we can do, ride it out and make him
- 12:35Speaker 2: opt out, and then no one has to be the
- 12:37Speaker 2: bad guy here. Sure, we'll end up with just cap
- 12:39Speaker 2: space at the end of the day and and nothing
- 12:42Speaker 2: in terms of player return, But I could see that
- 12:47Speaker 2: being a way of going about it.
- 12:48Speaker 3: It's again, it's not the one that I would do.
- 12:50Speaker 2: I think right now what you still could be able
- 12:53Speaker 2: to get is impactful.
- 12:55Speaker 3: Does it make you a title favorite? Absolutely not.
- 12:58Speaker 2: None of these packages are gonna make you, you know,
- 13:01Speaker 2: a playoff team, let alone next year, unless unless you
- 13:04Speaker 2: get Jalen Brown and he ends up being what he was,
- 13:06Speaker 2: a third third place finisher, an MVP has another great
- 13:10Speaker 2: ascent in the year and continues to get better. Most
- 13:13Speaker 2: likely you're looking at a little bit of a rebuilding.
- 13:15Speaker 2: I'm seeing now Mark Stein thrown in there. The Pistons
- 13:18Speaker 2: could be the third team to try to ship off
- 13:20Speaker 2: Tyler Hero too. There's a lot of different spots here.
- 13:23Speaker 2: I would also just say I know I'm gonna be
- 13:26Speaker 2: the only one in here. Tyler Hero is an all star, Like,
- 13:30Speaker 2: I don't know that we need to continue need to
- 13:33Speaker 2: talk too much about Tyler Hero, like, he's not an
- 13:35Speaker 2: easy twenty one and.
- 13:36Speaker 3: Five a night Doc Rivers called him a closer.
- 13:38Speaker 2: He's a little bit better than his name has been
- 13:41Speaker 2: slandered over the last two much.
- 13:42Speaker 3: I don't think he's bad at all.
- 13:44Speaker 4: I mean, but I think the problem is people equate
- 13:47Speaker 4: him like, well, this guy wouldn't replace him, wouldn't replace
- 13:49Speaker 4: nobody would replace you, honest, you're right, but this guy
- 13:51Speaker 4: wouldn't replace you know a stuff like people think right away?
- 13:54Speaker 4: Can you win a title with this guy. Right, that's
- 13:56Speaker 4: how people think, can you win a championship? Well, I
- 13:59Speaker 4: don't know, but they were asking the same question about
- 14:01Speaker 4: Jalen Brunson three years ago. Do I predict Taylor hero
- 14:04Speaker 4: will be the main piece in a championship winning team.
- 14:06Speaker 4: I don't predict that, But I'm not gonna sit here
- 14:08Speaker 4: and say I know what's gonna happen. There's no doubt
- 14:11Speaker 4: in my mind. You're right, Billy Taylor. Heroes talented will
- 14:13Speaker 4: put up numbers. Will you know, help teams win to
- 14:16Speaker 4: a certain extent.
- 14:17Speaker 3: So I think they're.
- 14:18Speaker 2: Gonna get better on defense, but I mean, like offensively,
- 14:22Speaker 2: he can he can go with just about anybody.
- 14:24Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think that's a fair defense. I think
- 14:28Speaker 4: these still leg levels to make him like a star,
- 14:31Speaker 4: like an All NBA, which is what when people want,
- 14:33Speaker 4: but you're not gonna get that.
- 14:34Speaker 3: You're not. You're not gonna get that.
- 14:36Speaker 4: Closest would be Jalen Brown, which is Finals MVP, but
- 14:39Speaker 4: even people question that all the time. And then the
- 14:41Speaker 4: question is how healthy will you honest be if for
- 14:44Speaker 4: anyone that's gonna take him, And then they're gonna ask
- 14:45Speaker 4: that question. Doc Rivers was on Bill Simmons saying you're
- 14:48Speaker 4: getting a healthy honest, he's fully healthy.
- 14:50Speaker 3: He's gonna be motivated, you know, I don't know, but well,
- 14:53Speaker 3: then there is a local angle two to.
- 14:54Speaker 2: Taylor Hero, which that's part of it for if he's healthy, Drew,
- 14:58Speaker 2: would that make you you more confident and holding onto
- 15:02Speaker 2: them and shipping off at the deadline, Like if you're
- 15:06Speaker 2: able to show just how healthy he is, how good
- 15:09Speaker 2: he would be?
- 15:10Speaker 1: The thing is, yeah, in theory, but again we talked
- 15:13Speaker 1: about it last year. It's just so hard to put
- 15:14Speaker 1: those multi team bank shots together at the deadline. It's
- 15:18Speaker 1: just that's hard to get more teams involved, whereas now
- 15:21Speaker 1: you can, right and it's like you need that there.
- 15:23Speaker 1: I'm surprised that there isn't like a three or four
- 15:25Speaker 1: team deal or you know, offshoots of it. And that's
- 15:28Speaker 1: so John Hurst is working on that side of it
- 15:30Speaker 1: as well as what could we do. Is there a
- 15:33Speaker 1: John Moran trade we could make? Is there a trade
- 15:35Speaker 1: we can make to get more picks? Is there what
- 15:37Speaker 1: can we get for for the limited assets we have?
- 15:40Speaker 1: Like what what do Kyle Kuzma or you know, Miles Turner.
- 15:43Speaker 3: Bring us a new shot return?
- 15:48Speaker 2: Yeah, a new one of those things they put underneath
- 15:51Speaker 2: the basket and shoots the pass out exactly how you
- 15:53Speaker 2: want it.
- 15:53Speaker 3: Very well, could.
- 15:54Speaker 1: Really brand new one sweet sweet deal. So yeah, it's
- 15:57Speaker 1: just as fascinating. But we just want it to be over.
- 16:00Speaker 1: I just want to know.
- 16:00Speaker 2: Would like some clarity, would appreciate some clarity, and then.
- 16:04Speaker 1: It's on to other questions like where are the Bucks?
- 16:05Speaker 1: Game is going to be on television? What's gonna happen
- 16:09Speaker 1: with that? That's important.
- 16:10Speaker 2: I also would wonder what the uh what what the
- 16:13Speaker 2: thirty four question will potentially do to season ticket packages?
- 16:16Speaker 3: That who that might not that I've heard from a
- 16:20Speaker 3: few people that aren't renewing anyway, That's I think that's
- 16:23Speaker 3: the next question.
- 16:23Speaker 4: Once once this comes to fruition and consummates and Yannis
- 16:27Speaker 4: is not a Buck, will people care about they get
- 16:30Speaker 4: where they're on TV?
- 16:31Speaker 3: We'll care about the season take. There will be a dip.
- 16:33Speaker 1: There will be a There will be a dip because
- 16:36Speaker 1: you know, the Bucks aren't the packers and they're not
- 16:38Speaker 1: you know, and it's.
- 16:40Speaker 3: There's there's there's hardcore fans out there. There will be a
- 16:42Speaker 3: drop off and it will go. Yeah, Yannis created fans
- 16:45Speaker 3: like it.
- 16:46Speaker 1: I don't know, kind of like when the ratings when
- 16:49Speaker 1: Tiger plays as opposed to when Tiger doesn't play, Like
- 16:51Speaker 1: there was a Now we're in the post Tiger era basically,
- 16:54Speaker 1: but it took a while. It was an adjustment, and
- 16:56Speaker 1: there will be an adjustment and the Bucks might get
- 16:59Speaker 1: they might find themselves back down to the hardcore NBA
- 17:02Speaker 1: fans who go to the games just because they love
- 17:04Speaker 1: the league, they love watching other teams, like they might
- 17:07Speaker 1: get into that circumstance. Well, first of all, Hunter bomb
- 17:28Speaker 1: Guard's been stalking miss trying to get him for a
- 17:31Speaker 1: one on one.
- 17:32Speaker 2: I was gonna say, hearing the full process on this
- 17:34Speaker 2: was was good.
- 17:36Speaker 3: You know, he's been stalking.
- 17:37Speaker 4: Hunter is a gentle spirit, so you know this has
- 17:39Speaker 4: been a fun thing for him, but also something he's
- 17:41Speaker 4: had a man.
- 17:42Speaker 3: This is like that it's great white whale.
- 17:44Speaker 4: Yes, it's like, hey, it's like that Hunter is a
- 17:49Speaker 4: gentle speed. But I'm just saying it's like one of
- 17:51Speaker 4: those nat Geo things, whereas this is the meal he's
- 17:53Speaker 4: been waiting to get. You know, is it even like
- 17:56Speaker 4: waiting to stalk him in the woods and just but
- 17:58Speaker 4: do it politely? But carefully, but also you know intentionally,
- 18:02Speaker 4: you know, he's been stalking him. It's like it's like
- 18:05Speaker 4: watching it's like watching a young great one work.
- 18:08Speaker 1: You know, he has well and miss has had a
- 18:10Speaker 1: lot of commitments. He's doing a lot of every podcast,
- 18:13Speaker 1: a lot of podcasts, a lot of interview shows like,
- 18:16Speaker 1: you know, get him while you can, I guess. But
- 18:18Speaker 1: in any event, Hunter got him. Hunter got an exclusive
- 18:21Speaker 1: one on one with Jacob Miserawski and uh, we want
- 18:25Speaker 1: to spend it for you.
- 18:26Speaker 6: Take it away Hunter, all right, Jacob, first thing for you,
- 18:29Speaker 6: We had Cooper Pratt's debut. I know you have been
- 18:32Speaker 6: through that just a year ago. Did it kind of
- 18:34Speaker 6: remind you of that day? Just watching him go through it?
- 18:37Speaker 6: And what kind of energy you know, does that bring
- 18:39Speaker 6: the clubhouse when you all get to see someone realize
- 18:41Speaker 6: their dream?
- 18:42Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's it's always awesome to have a
- 18:45Speaker 5: guy in the clubhouse, you know, fresh and uh, you know,
- 18:49Speaker 5: naive to what is to come. But no, it's a
- 18:53Speaker 5: it's awesome to have him up here and hopefully he
- 18:55Speaker 5: helps the team and the way we expect him to,
- 18:57Speaker 5: and you know we think he is. But no, it's
- 19:01Speaker 5: awesome you know, the guy's played the prank on him.
- 19:03Speaker 5: You know, obviously, like on my eye side of things
- 19:05Speaker 5: that you can't really do that, you know, I'm already
- 19:08Speaker 5: on and there on my own little island. So no,
- 19:12Speaker 5: it was it was good to see.
- 19:13Speaker 6: How much do you feel you have learned just over
- 19:15Speaker 6: one year? You know, you talk about you know, he's
- 19:18Speaker 6: kind of fresh to everything, going to learn so much
- 19:20Speaker 6: as he goes day by day in the major league season.
- 19:22Speaker 6: How much do you feel you've learned? And then how
- 19:25Speaker 6: much do you feel you have yet to learn?
- 19:27Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like, you know, obviously there's always something
- 19:30Speaker 5: else to learn. There's a lot to do and a
- 19:33Speaker 5: lot to see in the game. So but I've learned
- 19:36Speaker 5: a ton. I've learned how to just you know, be
- 19:38Speaker 5: a big leaguer. I think that's been the biggest thing.
- 19:40Speaker 5: And you know, WU and all the guys over there
- 19:44Speaker 5: have helped a ton with all that stuff.
- 19:46Speaker 3: So it's been awesome. Absolutely.
- 19:48Speaker 6: I wanted to ask you about just how you find
- 19:52Speaker 6: yourself like staying grounded right after something like Friday Night
- 19:55Speaker 6: and something that is historic and something that it gets
- 19:58Speaker 6: a lot of attention, and how do you find yourself Okay,
- 20:01Speaker 6: maybe you step away and do something that's not baseball,
- 20:03Speaker 6: or how do you feel like you ground yourself.
- 20:06Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the biggest thing is, yeah, stepping away
- 20:09Speaker 5: and just going to dinner with you know, my fiance
- 20:11Speaker 5: and my family, doing stuff like that and just you know,
- 20:14Speaker 5: being normal. I mean it's not as you possibly can be, ye,
- 20:17Speaker 5: But but no, I think that's the most important thing,
- 20:21Speaker 5: is just you know, being with family, understanding like there's
- 20:25Speaker 5: something outside of the game, so it's really important.
- 20:28Speaker 6: Do you feel like you've gotten better at almost balancing
- 20:31Speaker 6: that since you since you came up or is it
- 20:33Speaker 6: still kind of a work in progress.
- 20:35Speaker 5: It's yeah, it's definitely still a work in progress. I think,
- 20:37Speaker 5: you know, there's always a you know, always a stuff.
- 20:40Speaker 5: I can go further with that, but but no, I
- 20:43Speaker 5: think it's been I think it's been good. I think,
- 20:45Speaker 5: you know, they spend a lot of time with my fiance,
- 20:48Speaker 5: so it's been it's been awesome.
- 20:50Speaker 3: Say you guys have a day off.
- 20:51Speaker 6: What's kind of some of your favorite things to do
- 20:52Speaker 6: on a day off here in Milwaukee.
- 20:54Speaker 5: Yeah, well, we'll go go get some coffee, We'll go
- 20:57Speaker 5: walk to a coffee place, we'll do something like that.
- 21:00Speaker 3: You know, we don't really do much.
- 21:02Speaker 5: I think we may go to go out to dinner
- 21:03Speaker 5: somewhere in that is, somewhere downtown. Maybe we venture out,
- 21:07Speaker 5: go to a you know spot outside, but no, that's
- 21:11Speaker 5: about it.
- 21:11Speaker 6: Jacob Azroulskin joining us here. A question for you when
- 21:14Speaker 6: it comes to your relationship with with William Contreras and
- 21:17Speaker 6: how much he has helped, you know, working with him
- 21:19Speaker 6: since last year. What's maybe an example of the way
- 21:22Speaker 6: he helps you when you are on the mound.
- 21:24Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you can see it, him just firing
- 21:27Speaker 5: the baseball at you, like it's kind of like, you know,
- 21:30Speaker 5: a way of him saying, like, lock back in and
- 21:33Speaker 5: understand what you need to do. But no, he comes
- 21:37Speaker 5: out to the mound and he's always got something positive
- 21:39Speaker 5: to say.
- 21:39Speaker 3: So it's awesome.
- 21:40Speaker 6: Does that fire you up? What goes through your mind
- 21:43Speaker 6: when he's okay, he's got my back?
- 21:45Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean that's definitely it fires you up.
- 21:47Speaker 5: It gets you ready for that next hitter. And you know,
- 21:51Speaker 5: even if there's a guy on you still trust back
- 21:53Speaker 5: there that he's gonna gun him out and do something,
- 21:56Speaker 5: you know, to help you out.
- 21:57Speaker 3: So it's awesome.
- 21:58Speaker 6: How has your relation grown with your manager, Pat Murphy
- 22:02Speaker 6: and how and what kind of impact he has had
- 22:05Speaker 6: on you since you came up a year ago.
- 22:07Speaker 5: Yeah, he's had a huge impact. I think, you know,
- 22:10Speaker 5: he's definitely kept me humble, kept me, you know, to
- 22:12Speaker 5: where I need to be. But he's there's always a
- 22:16Speaker 5: joke to be said, there's always something that he's messing
- 22:18Speaker 5: with me with. So it's it's awesome love that keeps
- 22:20Speaker 5: it light, right, Yeah, exactly.
- 22:22Speaker 6: When you go through a season of one hundred and
- 22:24Speaker 6: sixty two games and you're in the grind and everything,
- 22:26Speaker 6: how important is that for a clubhouse and also a
- 22:29Speaker 6: manager to you know, make sure you're staying light throughout
- 22:33Speaker 6: the season.
- 22:34Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think that's really important. I think
- 22:36Speaker 5: you know, obviously you have a few good starts, you
- 22:38Speaker 5: have a few bad starts. It can go either way.
- 22:41Speaker 5: So you know, it's important to keep guys right where
- 22:45Speaker 5: they need to be, and I think Murph does a
- 22:46Speaker 5: great job with that.
- 22:47Speaker 6: One of the fan questions I got recently was why
- 22:51Speaker 6: do you go from the stretch always?
- 22:53Speaker 5: So I think one of the biggest things was I
- 22:56Speaker 5: was really bad like recreating my movement when the wind up.
- 23:01Speaker 5: So it's kind of one of those things that I
- 23:03Speaker 5: just eliminated it and I just so it's like, this
- 23:05Speaker 5: works so much better for me. You know. Obviously some
- 23:08Speaker 5: guys can do it, and you know it's fun to
- 23:11Speaker 5: watch that stuff, but you know, for me, like just
- 23:14Speaker 5: having the same movement over and over again, you know,
- 23:16Speaker 5: no matter if there's a gun on base, if there's
- 23:18Speaker 5: no one on so it helps me.
- 23:21Speaker 6: Speaking of the other guys in the rotation, I see
- 23:23Speaker 6: you guys watching each other's bullpens, very supportive of each other.
- 23:25Speaker 6: You're all kind of in, you know, the younger part
- 23:27Speaker 6: of your careers, other than obviously the Woody and the
- 23:29Speaker 6: advice he's given you. But how important has that been
- 23:33Speaker 6: for you guys to support each other and kind of
- 23:35Speaker 6: feed off how successful each other has been.
- 23:37Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's been. It's been huge. You know, having
- 23:41Speaker 5: wo in the lineup and having them here has been amazing.
- 23:45Speaker 5: I think that's you know, the big key to all
- 23:47Speaker 5: this is we do have a young staff and moves
- 23:50Speaker 5: kind of that the head of the group in a way,
- 23:53Speaker 5: and like you know, sets us right. You know, if
- 23:55Speaker 5: we're doing something dumb, he's gonna you know, let us
- 23:58Speaker 5: hear it, So it's it's really good.
- 24:00Speaker 6: What maybe not you know, just Woodrop, but also because
- 24:03Speaker 6: some of the other guys and just learning from things
- 24:05Speaker 6: that you know, a new teammate teammate come into this
- 24:08Speaker 6: year and Kyle or Brandon, right, guys that maybe you
- 24:10Speaker 6: haven't pitched with before, but I'm sure there's things you
- 24:13Speaker 6: can take from them.
- 24:14Speaker 5: Yeah, of course, Yeah. I mean Kyle's been awesome. You know,
- 24:17Speaker 5: I learned a lot from him with like aw speed stuff.
- 24:20Speaker 5: I think that's been huge. You know, that's his little
- 24:22Speaker 5: secret weapon he's got over there. But you know, for me,
- 24:26Speaker 5: like that's a struggle point for me. So it's like,
- 24:29Speaker 5: you know, I kind of learned how what his fuels
- 24:31Speaker 5: are with certain pitches and where he's thinking. So it's
- 24:34Speaker 5: been awesome.
- 24:35Speaker 6: What would you say is the biggest contributor to your
- 24:37Speaker 6: command overall being better this season?
- 24:42Speaker 5: I think the biggest thing has been like moving sites,
- 24:44Speaker 5: like moving moving my sights in like to variety, like
- 24:48Speaker 5: aiming at their hip, you know, trusting that the ball
- 24:50Speaker 5: is going to come back, and uh, you know, little
- 24:54Speaker 5: things like that, like you know, obviously I'm not aiming
- 24:56Speaker 5: at guys trying to hit them, but like you know,
- 24:58Speaker 5: that's the idea of like, hey, if I'm throwing a
- 25:00Speaker 5: slider and I want to be on the inside half,
- 25:02Speaker 5: like got aim, I got started at the guy.
- 25:05Speaker 3: So it's stuff like that.
- 25:07Speaker 6: How much has the defense behind you since you got
- 25:10Speaker 6: up here a year ago contributed to kind of the
- 25:13Speaker 6: success you've had to be able the ability to trust
- 25:15Speaker 6: the guys behind you because of the elite defenders you
- 25:17Speaker 6: have behind you.
- 25:17Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been amazing. I mean, any ball up the middle,
- 25:20Speaker 5: you see me tuck my arm trying not to touch
- 25:22Speaker 5: it because, like you know, the natural interesting is I
- 25:25Speaker 5: want to reach up and grab it. But you know
- 25:27Speaker 5: you got to trust that, Like you know, Joey Hamilton, Coop,
- 25:31Speaker 5: now you know Terrang, all those guys are gonna make
- 25:34Speaker 5: that play ten times out of ten where I'm there's
- 25:36Speaker 5: a chance I might botch it, So no, you got
- 25:39Speaker 5: to trust them.
- 25:40Speaker 3: Just really appreciate the time.
- 25:41Speaker 6: Congrats all the successful one think if they.
- 25:43Speaker 1: Could, Hunter brom got greater in of your good stuff,
- 25:46Speaker 1: Jacob Miserasky Loss And this is great because Hunter, uh,
- 25:51Speaker 1: he put in the work. He was asking and kind
- 25:53Speaker 1: of staking out trying to get this interview he gets
- 25:55Speaker 1: to sit down, gives us the good stuff, ask good questions.
- 25:58Speaker 1: And it just struck me that maybe Hunters had this
- 26:01Speaker 1: realization or not. But Hunter is a couple of years
- 26:06Speaker 1: older than them.
- 26:06Speaker 7: I was gonna say yes, not as not many things
- 26:11Speaker 7: enjoy these days, Hunter, because there was a time when
- 26:14Speaker 7: I'd be walking into ballparks and people would ask if
- 26:16Speaker 7: I was a player, and then they were asking if
- 26:19Speaker 7: I was a coach.
- 26:20Speaker 3: And then it's a dumpy ass writer. It's you became
- 26:23Speaker 3: like what exactly take advantage of being.
- 26:27Speaker 1: In the In the blink of an eye, you go
- 26:29Speaker 1: from you know, being a contemporary being like the same
- 26:31Speaker 1: age because when I started coming to Bros, I was
- 26:33Speaker 1: the same age as a lot of the guys in
- 26:34Speaker 1: the clubhouse. You had the same cultural references. You kind
- 26:37Speaker 1: of spoke the same language, address the same listen to
- 26:39Speaker 1: similar music.
- 26:41Speaker 3: Then it goes away quickly. Yeap, it catches, it catches
- 26:44Speaker 3: your really really quick counters.
- 26:45Speaker 1: Like this guy would have been like a freshman when
- 26:47Speaker 1: I was a senior in or something.
- 26:49Speaker 4: Two gentle souls, those two right there, they are two
- 26:52Speaker 4: gentle souls. Did you notice the players would kind of
- 26:55Speaker 4: relate to more as their age peer or did that
- 26:58Speaker 4: make a difference at all?
- 26:59Speaker 3: I think so, would they gravitate more to think? I
- 27:02Speaker 3: think so.
- 27:02Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, the way you you know, just you
- 27:05Speaker 1: just vibe with somebody.
- 27:06Speaker 3: Some people obviously there's some players that no matter.
- 27:09Speaker 1: What age, you worry you didn't get along with them
- 27:10Speaker 1: or that's I always tell people that when you're on
- 27:13Speaker 1: that beat and you're in that in that orbit, it's
- 27:16Speaker 1: much like any other office. There's gonna be a bunch
- 27:18Speaker 1: of guys, some guys that you just vibe with and
- 27:20Speaker 1: have a good relationship with, some guys you just say
- 27:22Speaker 1: hey to, and some guys when they're coming down the hall,
- 27:24Speaker 1: you look the other way, you go the other way
- 27:26Speaker 1: to avoid them. That's how it is. Every workplace, like
- 27:29Speaker 1: every workplace. But yeah, so miss And and Hunter are
- 27:32Speaker 1: the similar vintage and Hunter is going to have that
- 27:34Speaker 1: advantage for a while and you should enjoy it and like,
- 27:37Speaker 1: I appreciate it because I didn't realize it until it
- 27:39Speaker 1: was over and then I was like, oh, I used
- 27:40Speaker 1: to you know, it's funny because there was Mike Metheni
- 27:44Speaker 1: at one point, because I would I Mike Methani was
- 27:47Speaker 1: is my age and similar, and he was with the
- 27:49Speaker 1: Brewers when I started coming. He's like a little bit
- 27:52Speaker 1: maybe before my time with the Beat, Like Cirillo and
- 27:54Speaker 1: I kind of had rookie seasons, kind of came up together,
- 27:57Speaker 1: like so, yeah, So Cyrillo is a guy that we're
- 28:00Speaker 1: both kind of trying to figure out our find our
- 28:02Speaker 1: way in the big leagues at the same time, So
- 28:04Speaker 1: and Sorillo and some of the guys there were for
- 28:06Speaker 1: some reason, there were a bunch of guys from California
- 28:08Speaker 1: that I similar agent, like Cirillo and other guys, and
- 28:12Speaker 1: Mike METHENI like one.
- 28:13Speaker 3: Day, just out of the blue, he's like, true, where'd
- 28:15Speaker 3: you grow up?
- 28:16Speaker 1: And we were at County Stadium, like ten minutes from
- 28:19Speaker 1: here in the Falls. He's like, oh, man, I thought
- 28:21Speaker 1: you were he loose California guys. I'm like, no, I'm
- 28:24Speaker 1: a straight up cheeser.
- 28:26Speaker 3: Man. That's funny.
- 28:27Speaker 1: I'm a cheeser. He's like, oh okay. Dually noted and
- 28:30Speaker 1: I was talking shameless plug. I did Jeff Pearlman's Two
- 28:34Speaker 1: Writers Slinging Yang podcast. It's going to post like next
- 28:37Speaker 1: week sometime, and we were talking about that about how
- 28:40Speaker 1: going back to those days and the packers guy's a
- 28:44Speaker 1: little bit different. If you're there every day like Hunter
- 28:47Speaker 1: and those guys, you become part.
- 28:50Speaker 3: A little bit more, a little bit more system.
- 28:51Speaker 1: But yeah, you're part of the ecosystem and they may
- 28:53Speaker 1: or may not know your name or who you're out,
- 28:56Speaker 1: but a lot of them don't anymore. But it used
- 28:58Speaker 1: to be like they knew who the beat guys were
- 29:00Speaker 1: and it was both good and bad because they read
- 29:02Speaker 1: it and they, you know, give you give your heart
- 29:05Speaker 1: time for if they didn't like what you wrote.
- 29:06Speaker 3: And nowadays they just see us as this massive.
- 29:08Speaker 1: Media and they don't read anything, but they hear bad
- 29:11Speaker 1: stuff and then they're like, you guys all suck and
- 29:12Speaker 1: there's like this the players have this kind of wall
- 29:16Speaker 1: up where they didn't used to. It used to be
- 29:18Speaker 1: a little bit more I don't want to say professional.
- 29:21Speaker 1: It was like there was a give and take and
- 29:22Speaker 1: they knew, like they knew I had a job, I
- 29:24Speaker 1: knew they had a job, and we co existed. And
- 29:27Speaker 1: now it's almost like a lot of times I thought
- 29:30Speaker 1: it was better when guys knew your name or your
- 29:32Speaker 1: story or.
- 29:34Speaker 3: There was and how I don't know that there is
- 29:36Speaker 3: that anymore.
- 29:37Speaker 1: I think a lot of guys just kind of stand
- 29:39Speaker 1: at their locker and they see these wave of idiots
- 29:41Speaker 1: and like, can't wait till this is over. A lot
- 29:43Speaker 1: of folks want to get to know the person behind
- 29:46Speaker 1: the microphone or the notebook.
- 29:48Speaker 4: But Billy always bring it up. I think there is
- 29:50Speaker 4: that now. But it's with podcasts, right. We always talk
- 29:52Speaker 4: about how these guys seem to be more natural net
- 29:54Speaker 4: when they're on podcasts or naturally a.
- 29:57Speaker 2: Lot of but a lot of those podcasts are also
- 29:59Speaker 2: player done yeah, or.
- 30:02Speaker 1: It's a yeah, a friendly spaced space. You're not gonna
- 30:05Speaker 1: get hard hitting questions from Shannon Sharp. Yeah, it's gonna
- 30:07Speaker 1: be a little different deal when but again, and then
- 30:12Speaker 1: the other side of that coin is I worked I
- 30:15Speaker 1: trained under Bob McGinn, and I was, you know kind
- 30:17Speaker 1: of I said he was. I was his caddy. Can
- 30:19Speaker 1: I get you anything? You need another dyed coke? Can
- 30:21Speaker 1: I get you anything? And Bob, Bob was strictly business.
- 30:27Speaker 1: Bob would not He couldn't care less about if a
- 30:31Speaker 1: guy's wife had a baby or something like. He could
- 30:33Speaker 1: he was all about the football team and he didn't
- 30:35Speaker 1: and there was no small talk with Bob, like he
- 30:38Speaker 1: didn't go to standard a guy's locker and just say
- 30:40Speaker 1: what did you do over the weekend, like, hey, your
- 30:44Speaker 1: golf can go and uh. And then when I got
- 30:46Speaker 1: to the baseball side of things, you can't operate that way.
- 30:48Speaker 1: You have so much time and you have to be
- 30:50Speaker 1: conversational and you have to develop raport and you have
- 30:53Speaker 1: a lot more access to players. But with Bob, it
- 30:55Speaker 1: was strictly meat and potatoes, like what happened on that play?
- 30:58Speaker 1: What are you trying to do, what are you trying
- 31:00Speaker 1: to get better on? What you know? What are you
- 31:01Speaker 1: gonna have to do against Minnesota? It was never like
- 31:04Speaker 1: how's your family? Yeah, yeah, oh your parents are in
- 31:07Speaker 1: town this weekend. Oh that's cool, Okay. It was never that,
- 31:11Speaker 1: And so there's different approaches now. When I talk to
- 31:13Speaker 1: young aspiring sports journalists I tell them, especially like guys say,
- 31:17Speaker 1: you're covering the minor leagues and you're covering and you
- 31:18Speaker 1: want to get to a big league beat. I tell
- 31:20Speaker 1: people like, get to know the players and beyond just
- 31:23Speaker 1: the questions, like they're in a city that they don't
- 31:26Speaker 1: know and you live there, Like if the guy needs
- 31:28Speaker 1: his car fixed, or where should he take his girlfriend
- 31:30Speaker 1: on a date or something like, you know, talk about
- 31:32Speaker 1: that stuff and get that rapport. Yeah, like you can
- 31:36Speaker 1: help each other out because there's.
- 31:37Speaker 2: Nothing there's nothing wrong with being a Cordials another way
- 31:40Speaker 2: of saying it, but just like somewhat friendly in a
- 31:43Speaker 2: business setting is a wake life for a long time,
- 31:48Speaker 2: and it still can be, although there is a standoffish
- 31:51Speaker 2: nature to it because there's a plumping in of well,
- 31:54Speaker 2: everyone's kind of out to get you. No, a little
- 31:57Speaker 2: icon on Twitter that might aggregate something that we say
- 32:00Speaker 2: could be out to get you. But in all reality,
- 32:02Speaker 2: there's the understanding of everyone having a job to do.
- 32:06Speaker 3: Has U has definitely taken a back seat.
- 32:08Speaker 4: I do remember Bob saying once he felt like it
- 32:11Speaker 4: was his role to be adversarial though like it was
- 32:13Speaker 4: almost that Billy Bean thing. It's like, I don't want
- 32:15Speaker 4: to in some way because my job is to you know,
- 32:18Speaker 4: to write correctly, and if I get too close that
- 32:21Speaker 4: might affect my ability to do it.
- 32:23Speaker 3: I I do. But your point, I think.
- 32:25Speaker 4: Is a good one about baseball versus football. It's all
- 32:27Speaker 4: very interesting to me, and.
- 32:28Speaker 1: It's just hear everybody's got a different personality and approach
- 32:33Speaker 1: brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen Heating, Cooling and Plumbing.
- 32:35Speaker 3: Checked them out.
- 32:36Speaker 1: Heating and Cooling, I should say they're your experts. It's
- 32:39Speaker 1: almost a c season. In fact, in order to cut
- 32:41Speaker 1: down on the noise last night, it's stately manner turned
- 32:43Speaker 1: on the air conditioning.
- 32:44Speaker 3: Close.
- 32:45Speaker 2: Oh good call, Okay, it's an easy fix for those
- 32:50Speaker 2: I was gonna.
- 32:50Speaker 1: Say it made the dog less and nervous. Dog was
- 32:52Speaker 1: still nervous during the Big Bang, but less so.
- 32:55Speaker 2: Luckily we got a place that also can help out
- 32:57Speaker 2: help about pets as well with a little sleep.
- 33:00Speaker 3: Who's hot? Who's not well? Who was hot?
- 33:02Speaker 2: Was everybody partying throughout the streets of New York yesterday?

- 33:09Speaker 2: championship parade.
- 33:11Speaker 3: Uh, did you guys see the guy do the squints?
- 33:13Speaker 2: I think I might have seen that the young man
- 33:16Speaker 2: was up on I want to say, the entrance to
- 33:20Speaker 2: the subway.
- 33:20Speaker 3: I've never been in New York, so I don't know.
- 33:22Speaker 2: But he's on some kind of glass paneling about a

- 34:03Speaker 2: Grabs the neck and tries to go in for a cast.
- 34:06Speaker 2: Brother winds Quints, Oh with Wendy Peppercorn. It was definitely
- 34:12Speaker 2: not gonna work as well on the streets of New York.
- 34:15Speaker 2: When they say the streets will make you feel brand new,
- 34:18Speaker 2: these lights will inspire you, it should not inspire you
- 34:22Speaker 2: to try to pull that move that worked out so
