  Speaker 1: Sarians behind the glass and Dobie Maxwell sitting in for
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Billy Schmid today as Billy takes a couple of days
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: off here midweek. I was hanging out with Billy at
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Bucks Media Day. We'll talk about that a little bit later.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: It was a different vibe. Did you recognize anybody? It
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: was a hello, my name is. A lot of new faces.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Very interesting. Very interesting.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: A lot of new faces.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: I think the term I heard someone, maybe it was
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Taylor Jenkins used was, Every flower has its bloom, and
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: the flower of the Giannis era is bloomed now, but
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: now you can start kind of a new one.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: And it is interesting.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: It's almost like you're in a different league now when
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: you go up to media day now, and it's a
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: totally different vibe, and it's not the championship contender and
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: all that stuff.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: It is, and there are basically zero expectations.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: And they have zero primetime games other than when they
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: play Giannis.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: And now they're on local TV again.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: They're on local, over-the-air, My24, free TV for the fans.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: That was funny because Wes Edens was the first interview yesterday.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: He comes to the podium, and someone asked him, like,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: what kind of financial hit did you take? Well, I
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: don't have those numbers in front of me, but we
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: are going to be on over-the-air TV.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: You're welcome. He's honest about it.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: And, you know, we talk so much about the business
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: of sports and the valuations of change and things like that. And,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: you know, I know that ownership is an inflection point
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: always for fans. And, you know, Wes is still there.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: You know, obviously it was Lasry and Edens. And now
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: it's just Wes. And then obviously with Jimmy Haslam. But
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: we hadn't heard from Jimmy Haslam as the Bucs owner
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: until the stuff with Giannis was popping up.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: And he said, we're going to have a deadline.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: But now, you know, you haven't heard from Wes Edens
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: for a while because he had.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Some stuff going on.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, some TMZ stuff.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: It is interesting to sort of hear from him when
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: you can and hear from Haslam because sometimes it feels like,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: all right, well, Who's our dad here?
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Is it our stepdad? Is it our dad?
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Who's the dad of our friend? Well, he was asked yesterday,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: have you thought about selling your shares?
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: And he said, no.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Interesting.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Because I would think those guys were always thinking about
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: those numbers, especially after.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: We see what happened with the Lakers.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Lazary dipped out. Aaron Rodgers sold his interest. He's no
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: longer a Bucs owner.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: That's something that's interesting.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: We sold it to Jimmy Haslam.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Which is interesting.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he made a tidy little song.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah. I think he bought in for 5 million,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: probably at least doubled.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, he definitely made it.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, and that's a question a lot of fans
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: have when like a player will buy an ownership stake.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Cause usually I don't want to say it's just ceremonious,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: but usually that's a lot of it. Like when Giannis
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: bought an ownership in the brewer's stake, like keep that.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Nobody really knows.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I wonder, I'll have to ask, uh, LFA, our buddy,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: John Greenberg, he'll join us tomorrow on the program. Uh,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: At one point, Ben Sheets and Gord Ash were part
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: owners of the Admirals. I wonder if they're still in
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the ownership group.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Why would you give it up, though? There's no reason to.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to keep appreciating. Unless you need the
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: liquid flow, which you don't.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: It doesn't mean you have to be.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Like, a lot of the time, you're a figure, you know,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: like in front of the face of the team and
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: stuff like that. You got a jersey on. You're throwing
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: the first pitch out. You don't have to do any
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: of that now. I mean, like, you're gone, so you
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: don't have to do anything except let your investment work
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: for you and watch valuations rise across pro sports, which
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: they will.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: They always will.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. All right, so Dobe just performed in
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Vegas at the Brad Garrett Comedy Club at the MGM.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: MGM Grand Hotel. That's your spot, right, Toby? Did you
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: get another picture of the marquee with your name on it?
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: It's pretty kick-ass.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I did do that. I also.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: It's funny because I wanted to get one, and they
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: took us out to eat. And it's really funny because
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: I knew the... comedy book. How do you know that person? Well,
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: she was a waitress in Chicago at a club that
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: I worked many times. Her son was about 19 years
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: old and needed a vehicle. I went to the Waukegan
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Auto Auction. I must have bought 50 cars. I said,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: come on up.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: We'll have lunch. We'll go to the auction.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: You get something between $ 1, 500, $ 2, 000. He ended up getting
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: a Chevy Blazer that he drove for three years. This
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: was 25 years ago. Amazing. And she said, I owe
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: you a favor. And I said, someday, whatever it is,
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: own your famous blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, she
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: ended up marrying the guy that is Carrot Top's opening act,
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: and she's the booker of Brad Garrett's club. And I
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: called her up, and she said, absolutely, come on down here.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: So they took us out to eat. I said, I
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: want to get a picture on the marquee. Oh, sorry,
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: at 10 o'clock, it goes down. So you're big star
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: for a day, 10-1, you're trash again.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: But you know what, Adobe?
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: They did get one, though. You talk a lot about
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: putting good things out in the world.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Because when things happen to you, you can get jaded.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: I know it's all in your book, Monkey in the Middle.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Go buy it if you haven't.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, buddy.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: This was something I could not put down. Your life
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: story is incredible. I appreciate you, though, because you always
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: talk about no matter what happens, you try and put
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: good stuff out in the world and it comes back
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: to you.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: And this is a great example of it. I'm always very.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: happy for you when you, when you're playing Vegas, is
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: it sort of like when you're a comedian and you know,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: you know how it is in comedy, you know, you
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: kind of beat in the bushes for a long time
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: and you go to any club you can.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Is it like getting like called up?
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Like when you're an MLB player, when you're in AAA
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: for a long time, when you're in the minor, you
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: get called up right.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: A couple of times.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: And these are moments you don't ever forget. Like this
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: is your time on the show. Is that what it's
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: like being called up to Vegas?
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: It's a very good question, Armin, as always.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: And I'll tell you this, it is like working all
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: those clubs because, The first time I worked in Vegas,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: do you know who Steve Sharippa is?
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, he is. I don't think I know his name.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: He's a big guy.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Steve Sharippa was in The Sopranos.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: The Sopranos. Okay.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Well, before that, he managed a club. He was Bobby Bacala,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: for people who know. He managed a comedy club in
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: Las Vegas. And it was an improv, and Bud Friedman
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: and the whole thing worked out there. So I had
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: a friend get me in the club. And he said,
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: so I had to bring, this was before the internet,
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: so he had to bring physical promo. He had to
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: bring out a video. So he comes in, and he's
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: a large guy. He goes, are you the new guy?
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir, I am.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Takes my promo, throws it across the room. And said,
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: you will be doing six minutes on my stage tonight.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: Not five minutes, not seven minutes. And if you go
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: any bit older and the audience doesn't like you, you
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: will never darken the door of this club again. And
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: I'm shaking like a three-legged dog going through hair and withdrawal.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: What am I going to do? And I look out
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: in the crowd and say, wait a minute. These people
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: are all from Milwaukee and Chicago and Cleveland and Detroit.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: And I've entertained these people for 20 years. And I
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: knocked it out of the park. And he came up
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: and he picked up the promo. He goes, hey, man,
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: a lot of people come in with an attitude.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: You're a good guy. You're great. Call me anytime. I'll
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: book you.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: I didn't because if anybody's that volatile, this is before
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: he was on The Sopranos. And then I saw him
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: after he got on The Sopranos again. I said, do
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: you remember me?
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: He goes, yeah. I said, you're the only one that didn't.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Everybody crumbled. He goes, you didn't crumble. That's why I
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: do that to people because it's a tester. That's a
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: great point.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Are you ready for primetime?
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I am ready for primetime.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: But to your point, you're saying you approach it like
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: any other gig you do because the DNA of the
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: audience is the same, right?
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Is that what your point? Yeah. I like that.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Well, is performing in Vegas, that's like the major leagues
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: because of the history of it and the number of
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: venues and just like the aura.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: And the stateliness of what you think of it.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: But isn't it like doing a cruise ship because there's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: people from all over? It's not like going into a
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: town where you can cater it to the people, the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: mores of that town.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: And I will say this.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: I was on the Craig Ferguson show on CBS, and
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: I was the same thing. I'm like, oh, I'm going
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: to have to win these people over. They've got a
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: person there warming up the audience. The network wants you
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: to do well. I had a great set just because
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: they wanted... And same thing, you're in Vegas, they just
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: paid $ 47 a ticket.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: They set up the correct conditions for you to do well. Well,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: they booked this guy, he must be good.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: And it's like, you go to something like that, it's...
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: It's kind of a lark, but you're in the studio
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: for a network show that you watch.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: It's exciting.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I got to be in the studio audience for Saturday
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Night Live. It was one of the coolest things I've
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: ever done.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: And I've gone to comedy shows in Vegas. And I'll admit,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: you're right. You do have a built-in bias. You're like,
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: I'm going to see a comedy show in Vegas. This
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: guy must be funny. And people are drunk. Yeah, you
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: must be funny if you're playing a Saturday night in Vegas.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: So that's going to affect your, what's that? I'm just curious,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: what clubs did you go to? The one in Planet Hollywood.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: They had comedy shows every night. So that was the
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: one I was at. Trust me, I didn't pay a
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: lot for it. I wanted to go to Brad Garrett's,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: but I was going to pick, that was the MGM Grand,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: that's the one you played, but he's not always there, right?
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: No, that's why I was there.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: He was off one day, one of my comedy students
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: was there, so I got in one day of the
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: week or I would have worked the whole way.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: And then obviously, you know, I've seen the big shows
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: like Seinfeld and things like that, but not in Vegas,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: but you see those guys, you know, Jerry's at Caesars
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Palace sometimes and things like that, but I always love
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: a comedy show, but that's exciting. That's interesting to note, though.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Is it like, you know, okay, so you don't have
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: a local audience, obviously, because you have a lot of
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: great local comedy. You have a lot of great local stand-up,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: like your material.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you. You do a lot of Wisconsin, but
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: does that not.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: I do other stuff.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I lived in Utah.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: I had a radio job out there, and I have
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: a whole set just about living in Utah that would
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: not play here.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Like the local Wisconsin jokes, you're not going to... Not there.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: He's not talking about Ernie Von Schleidhorn in Las Vegas.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: That's a trick, too. It's like the stripper pretends that
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: she likes you to get the money. Oh, I know
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: she likes me. Same thing.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: You do the local references and how did you know
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: so much about it? Well, it's not that hard. It's
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: a trick of the trade.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You go to Cincinnati, you talk about Skyline, Jilly,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: or Gold Star.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Absolutely right. And Vegas, the same thing.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of common things about Vegas that you
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: can talk about that anybody can relate to.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: So we were chatting about this, and it's funny because Armin,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I've watched Armin over the years. become like a vegas
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: insider like you're a denzi and you you love it
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: and you're the least likely guy because you're not debauched
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: not like i'm not like you're not lured by yeah
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: you know the things that draw many people to vegas
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: correct i really am not you like to place a
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: wager but you're not a high roller a little bit
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: you don't partake in the 420 that's available.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: There and i drink but not The strip clubs and
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: that side of it and the bottle service. Not wasting
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: my money and all that stuff. Exactly.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: But you love the whole culture and the vibe.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: The glitter and the glamour.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: The culture, the energy, and the history. I've always been
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: very confounded by the history of Vegas, too, because it's
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: the middle of a desert. So for some reason, these
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: things have always interested me.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I've always said you're the oldest 40 year old man
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: ever because you like the rat pack and the whole
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: aura of like the whole do.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: You have a place you stay or do you sample
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: the wares of all the hotels wherever it's cheap.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Drew's right. So, like, you know, I check the
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: deals on your rewards apps, you know?
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: I check the deals. I usually find, like... I usually
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: end up at, like, one of the mid-to-lower-end MGM properties. Like,
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: you know, like Luxor or.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Luxor's terrible. I'm sorry.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Or New York, yeah. And that's kind of the... It's
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: kind of a novelty for me. It's like I'm staying
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: at the Luxor again. But I like to sample different places, too.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: It depends on where my wife or just alone is.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Do you have a lost trip?
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: There's a handful of newer properties that are like the
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: hot thing, and then they're like the place to be,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: and it's like new and stuff. Bellagio was that at
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: one point.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: For a while, yeah.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Fontainebleau now is a new one.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Fontainebleau is big. But the thing about Vegas is it's
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: still fun, and I still like it in small doses
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: and stuff, but the charm and the stuff that, Made
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: it great.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: You changed your expectations. It sounds so old, like 20
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: years ago, 30 years ago. All that stuff.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: It was more fun. And to me, it feels like
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Vegas had this great thing going. And for a while,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: they tried the.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: Campaign of making it family.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: They were going to make, let's cater to families and
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: make it Disney World.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: That's for Disney.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Then they went back. They did a 180. What happens
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: in Vegas stays in Vegas. Let's lean into the debauchery.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: That's why people come to us. But now you can
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: gamble anywhere. You can buy weed anywhere.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: That's the thing.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: And to me, it's like Vegas had a good thing going.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Vegas is Jersey Mike's.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Okay. They had incredible subs. Everybody loved.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: And then private equity came in and they skimped on
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the ingredients and it's like smaller spores portions. And now
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: it sucks. And they got rid of everything that people
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: liked about it. That made it great. Private equity and
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: corporations are doing that in Vegas.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: COVID didn't help.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Where COVID didn't help. And they're trying to get that back.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: They've lost a lot of Canadian tourists for political reasons,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: but they, it just, it's, it kind of sucks. Like
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I have always said, like people don't go to Vegas
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: and like, Oh, I can go and buy a $ 9
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: high life. You can, you know, I know it's not fun.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: It used to be the deal was the deal. They
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: got the money out of you because you would gamble.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: And like, and now it's like the rooms.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Aren't as cheap.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: They're not as nice. The service isn't as good.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Resort fees.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: There's resort fees on top of everything. Parking fees. They
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: charge you to park. Now they're charging the locals to park,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: which is really piss people off.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: They're not happy.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: And the buffets are gone. There's only six left on
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the strip. The charm of it was gone. And you
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: would go there and spend and have a great time
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: and it'd make you want to come back. Now you
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: go there and like, oh, let's think about going to
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Nashville or somewhere else.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Like, you know, it's like.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I still like it, but not as much. The affinity
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: for it.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: It's definitely changed. It's definitely changed.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Corporatization and private equitization of it. And it's done it
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: to a lot of things. It just made it suck.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: It does feel like.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Private equity, by the way, it's not just Jersey Mike's,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: but Wendy's too. The spicy chicken sandwich sucks now. It's
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: not as good as it used to be.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: You did feel like once upon a time that there
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: was a lot of unique charm and novelty.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: It was magical. Of like there were different, you know.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: different kooky casino owners and wild casinos. Now it's owned
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: by corporations and the whole strip looks like a shopping mall, right?
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of stores. Good point.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: But it's still enjoyable for me because I find it interesting.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: But I definitely wish I was here 20 years ago.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: It would have been more interesting.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: And the thing is, I loved the sports betting stuff.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: You'd go there and guys would go for the first
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: weekend of the NCAA tournament.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: It was awesome.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: And it's still pretty good. You were there last year
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: during the tournament with our boy El Baldos.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: It's still fun, but it's not the same of like,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: It's not the same, and you can get that juice
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: at Pato.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: You can get it right here.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: The Sportsbook at Pato is, other than Circa, it's as
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: big and as good as anywhere else.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Our Sportsbook at Pato, out of me, is better than 95%
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: of the ones in Las Vegas. I say that, and
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: people don't believe it, but it's absolutely true. They got
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: rid of the performance space to do that. That was
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: my favorite stage in the Northern Lights Theater.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Northern Lights, that's right. They did, and the... The Fire Pit, right?
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: That was the whole place.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: But it's a great, great venue. Pile of Water is
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: a great, great sportsbook now, and it's just fantastic. And
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: we do our shows in the Annex down there, Drew,
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: as you guys know.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Thursday night. I saw you doing a show
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: there once, years ago, in that same space. Great space.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: That's right. It definitely has changed.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: But, hey, listen, anytime my man Dobie Maxwell is in
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: the marquee, I got to try and make it back.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Thank you, buddy.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: I was taking a picture the first time I was there,
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: taking a picture. And some guy comes up to me
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: and goes, what are you doing? I'm taking a picture
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: of the marquee. Never heard of any of them. I'll
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: stand right next to him and say, ah, you know,
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: friend of a friend. That's awesome.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Time for a little Who's Hot, Who's Not brought to
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: us by Donovan Jorgensen Heat, including the HVAC specialist employee
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: owned for 45 years. They have a fall financing special,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: five years, 0% interest on all qualifying systems. It's a
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: limited time. Go to donovanjorgensen.com to learn more.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Who's hot?
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Case Keenum.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Case Keenum, obviously.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: 38 years old, got the cobwebs off, the mothballs. And
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: he balled out last night on Monday Night Football. He
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: doesn't know if he's going to start again.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: No.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Because Tyson Bajent might be back.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: But. I don't know.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: You roll with him? You play the hot hand?
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Well, and this is sort of a flare of warning,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: I think, for the Packers who are going to be
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: facing Jalen Daniels this weekend.
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Not Jaden Daniels. Jalen. Not Jaden.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Because they're facing the Buccaneers who have Baker Mayfield's hurt.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: So you think to yourself, oh, this is a big advantage.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: What a break.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: But you have to make sure that that dog doesn't
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: bite you there as well. Two words, Jason Garrett. Remember
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: that game?
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, I remember that, yeah.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I'll never forget that. This is our chance to beat
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys, man.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: I knew.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: And what is more dangerous? The Packers need a dub, right?
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Because they're reeling a little bit. We'll see what they
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: do with these new guys on the offensive line. But
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the Bucs are 0-3, playing at home, and they're starting
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: a guy who has 33 seconds of NFL experience.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: What could go wrong? Nothing.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Jalen Daniels is going to be the man, and like,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: you know, The Vikings beat them 23-16 last week, so...
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Not a blowout.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Not a blowout.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, they just put $ 165 million to Baker Mayfield,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: and he's hurt. So this is... Jalen Daniels played at Kansas.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll see how things go.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: And you like to think the Packers have the advantage there,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: and boy, do we need a win and a good performance, obviously.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: But you can always get kind of tripped up by
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: these situations, unscotted looks.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: It usually can go one of two ways, and I
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: think we'll know soon, but... One way or the other,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: how it will go. But I'd like to think. Who's not? Sorry,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: were you done there, Drew?
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm done with Case Keenum was who's hot. Who
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: do you got for who's not?
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Who's not? Jeff Halfley in Miami talking about.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: The Heat Media Day a little bit because we talked
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: about our media day. Halfley was visibly taken aback by
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: the lack of reporters in his press conference today. Many
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: of them decided to attend Heat Media Day instead. He said,
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: is this everyone that's coming in reporter? It's Heat Media Day.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: So I guess it's a little different, right? Around here,
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: these parts.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: The Packers kind of run it.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: That's happened, too, because I remember Murph, the council used
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: to look back and there's no TV cameras. It's like, oh,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: the Packers have a preseason game today or something. And
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Murph said that, too. But there was a Friday night
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: where I think Murph was stunned by the small media crowd.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: And it wasn't just like the Packers playing a preseason game.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: That was on the road.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: It was high school football was kicking off. So a
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: lot of the TV guys were out covering high school
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: football games.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: And, you know, I think it's interesting because, all right,
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: so whatever, you know, you see, okay, okay, everyone's at
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: the Heat press conference, and athletes are like, maybe we're
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: second fiddle. Well, maybe you're not doing a good, you know,
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: their team's not very good. But also, what are people
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: going to realize? I'm going to stand up for our
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: industry a little bit. Things aren't highly attended and covered
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: anymore because there aren't as many outlets being supported anymore. Like,
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: local journalism is not supported as much anymore. You know
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: what's happened to newspapers, Drew. We know what's happened to
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: local traditional forms of media.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: There aren't as many media members, and there aren't as many.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Companies that have publications or TV stations or radio stations
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: willing to cover events. I was taken aback, and I still...
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: It was still shocking to me, and kind of a...
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: a splash of cold water across my face, realizing what's
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: the change in our industry was when we went to
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: the super bowl in new Orleans and I saw media
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: night and it was a bunch of podcasters and influencers
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: and butt scratch media podcast or whatever. Like, and I realized, wow,
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: that's what it is anymore. That's who's covering these events.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: And it's like, did a lot of these, a lot
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: of these, you know, influencers or whatever you have, you know,
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: People on Twitter that are trying to become media podcasters
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: aren't going to press conferences and covering teams on a
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: day-to-day basis like the great print journalists of our youth were.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: So I think that's a big factor.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Too, nobody wants to talk about, mostly because I think
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: it's easy for the public to blame the media for everything, Drew.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: Most have no sympathy in their minds for quote-unquote media.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: But the reality is the real grinders of this industry,
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: the local broadcasters and journalists, are not as supported anymore
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: by companies. There's just not as many anymore. And because
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: of that, you aren't going to have a lot of
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: people that are day-to-day beat writers and beat reporters.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: That's true. Unfortunately, that's going to hurt your own coverage
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: of your own team.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: They've been slashed to the bone. It's not positive. All right,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: so who's hot, who's not? Brought to us by Donovan Jorgensen.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: You know who else is not hot, or maybe he
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: is hot?
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: J.J.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: McCarthy. From the 10th player taken overall, turned into a
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: fifth-round pick as they schlep him over to the Giants,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: who saw Jameis Winston struggle and said, we need something.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: So now the Giants have Jackson Dart and J.J. McCarthy
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: on their roster. Jackson Dart out for the season, so J.J.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: McCarthy.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: The quarterback whisperer, Kevin O'Connell, couldn't get J.J. McCarthy on
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: track with Justin Jefferson and all those weapons, Addison. So
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: he moves on to New York, gets traded in the
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: middle of the season. Interesting development there. So who's hot,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: who's not? Donovan Jorgensen. We'll have our current electric superhero
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: of the day coming up, but coming up next, Scott
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Dolphin from the country station down the hall FM 106
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: is going to pop in and it'll be halftime be
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: warned he's a Bears fan he's having a good morning
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: that's one we'll try to drag him down you're in
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: the huddle Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin halftime of the huddle
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Hour and a half in, Drew Arman. Dobie Maxwell's in
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: for Billy. We welcome Scott Dolphin from the country station
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: down the hall. And I warn people, he's a Bears fan.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: He's having a good morning. Yeah, pleasantly surprised, Drew. They'll
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: be good to see you again, man. 38 years old
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: with his kids in the stands like a Verlander-esque moment.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: They got to see him win now. I don't know
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: if he's going to get another start. Tyson Bajent might
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: be back.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: He played very well.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: I'm with Aikman or Buck. I think Aikman said it
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: last night. You got to go with the hot hand,
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: don't you? I don't care if Tyson Bajent's healthy.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: I would think. Yeah.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, what's the difference? A second or a third quarterback?
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I say you would stick with the 38-year-old. Is
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Caleb out, though? Is that three to four?
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: Well, they said it's a great two, so it's three
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: to four weeks. They haven't put him on the injured list?
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I thought they'd put him on the IR just to
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: get a roster spot, but they're going to play a
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: man short and just let him go?
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Just in case.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: Just in case he's ready for the Packer game. Because
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: that's in that window of four weeks. That's what they're
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: looking at, yeah.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Wild.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: I hope he's back for the Packer game. I don't
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: want to see guys hurt. I want to see the
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: best of the best, don't you?
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yeah, you do. But Tyson Bajent got you through,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: and then you get the kid.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: This game last night. 38 years old.
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: I thought the Eagles had a really good game plan
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: because they were stuffing. The Bears had rushed for an
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: average of 220 yards the first two games. So the
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: Eagles were like, you will not run on us. We're
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: going to make the old man beat us.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Makes sense, right? It did. It was a good game plan.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: But then they left that game plan completely in the
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: second half. I mean, they were getting kind of torched
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: by Keenum on the pass game.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Well, I think Ben Johnson did a good job putting
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: the Eagles D on their heels because they didn't expect
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: him to come out throwing. And the Bears couldn't really
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: run the ball in the first half that well, but
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: they didn't need to. And the Eagles did, but they
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: couldn't finish drives.
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: When Fangio dialed up blitzes, though, they didn't get home.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. That's true.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: He had zero sacks.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: Or when they were knocking him on his butt, he
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: was throwing from his heels and completing passes.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Keenum was 11 for 11 on plays that Philly brought
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: extra rushers.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: And that was probably one thing they couldn't have predicted,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: but Case seemed like he was ready for it. He
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: said he was like a coach most of the time.
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: To me, it was like the offense for the Eagles
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: is what confounded me because Saquon Barkley's running five, six,
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: seven yards a clip.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Gouging. And then when the Bears scored in the third quarter,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: it's like, well, we got to throw now. I know.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: And it's like, no, you don't. Saquon Barkley is a
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: scoring threat from your own 20.
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: And then you get snake bit. You lose your quarterback
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: out of nasty hit. He goes into the blue tent.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: You bring in the red rifle. And he throws a pick,
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: you know, cold off the bench.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: That was rough. Now that hit, I don't even think
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: it's controversial because when you're running like that, you're a
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: running back, man. I'm sorry. If that was a running back,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: that's not a penalty.
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: I knew it was going to get called because when
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: they showed the replay and his toe was in the white,
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: I thought they were going to call that every time.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: But like I'm saying, if it's a running back, but
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: you're a quarterback who runs. We talked about that yesterday
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: because of the hit in the USC game.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: And it's like, you know, these quarterbacks are taking liberties.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: They're sliding late. They used to slide five yards in
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: front of the defender. Now they're going all the way
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: up and they're tempting fate because they think they're going
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: to be protected by the rules. And when the defender's
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: going low and trying to make a tackle– And you
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: collide like that.
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: There's nothing that defense can do. It puts them in
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: an unfair spot. Of course, the worst thing about that
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: hit was the celebration afterwards.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: That was bad. That was unseemly.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: That was bad. So, yeah, your Bears are riding high
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: They look damn good, Drew. I was impressed.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: I didn't expect that performance. Although, I didn't really follow
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: the Eagles the first two weeks. They barely survived against
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: the Titans, right? One of the worst teams in the
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: league last week. And so, you know, Bears are 2-1.
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: I think that's this year's NFL. It's a little bit
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: upside down. Who had the Vikings at 3-0 leading the division?
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Who had the Raiders?
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Right. Another one. I mean, this is just a topsy-turvy league.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: It always is. It is. Especially early in the year.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: but it's really hard to predict things like that.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: It's designed for chaos.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: What do you think of Ben Johnson going for the
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: fourth downs now?
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: It didn't become a story because it didn't end up
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: hurting him, but it was a big story around here
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: because when LaFleur went for it and didn't take the
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: points on fourth, that was a big inflection point for
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: a lot of fans.
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: He would have caught heat too, Armand, if that came
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: back to bite him in the butt. Because, you know,
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: first off, Roma Dunze, my God, the ball is gift wrapped.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: In his hands. Yes. What are you doing? Catch the ball.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: I just feel like.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: When the result doesn't go their way, a lot of
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: fans want to find something to blame, and those are
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: easy ones to find. But every coach is going to
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: make a decision based on their philosophy and their process.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Great point.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: They're not going to do it based on predicting a decision.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: You're not going to ever get 100% of those decisions right,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: so you're just going to go with one or the
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: other and say, we're either going to be aggressive on
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: fourth downs in these situations or we're not.
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: You're not going to change Ben Johnson or Matt LaFleur
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: for that matter. These guys are going to coach like
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: they're going to coach. That situation, though, you didn't know
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: Case Keenum was going to have a huge night, and
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: I'm thinking– Make it 10-0.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, make it 10-0. Take the points. Or 13, whatever
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: it would have been at the time. Yeah, I would
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: have taken the points.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Listen, it ended up not being a problem because they
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: were dominating the rest of the game.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, 2-1.
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: Their schedule was favorable at the beginning of the season.
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: They play a lot of home games, though, and that's
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: going to come back. You've got to play road games late,
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: and I think they play, I don't know, they're gone
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: for like a month or something like that once we
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: get into the heart of the season. I do like
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: their chances against the Jets, no matter who they play
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: at quarterback, but Jets, and then they play Tampa Bay,
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: which is struggling, and then they get the Packers.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: And Tampa doesn't have, obviously, Baker Mayfield right now. We'll
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: see how that goes for the Packers. The Packers have
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Tampa this weekend.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: Right, and if you're the Packers, you're looking at a
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: stretch of how many games in a row where you're
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: playing backup quarterbacks. Although Michael Penix is probably the starter now.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I would say he's more. J.J. MacArthur era over in Minnesota.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: What did you think about that news? Well, I think
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: it was expected, wasn't it? Yeah, I guess so. It
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: traded him to the Giants.
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: And he's going to play for a hardball. He was
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: happy playing for a hardball in college. So why not
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: send him to another hardball to maybe resurrect his career?
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: They got a fifth for him.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Not even resurrect his career. Just start one.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Ignite it. Yeah, start it.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Get it started.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: The McCarthy era in Minnesota has been a failure.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: I was there for his very first game of Monday
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: Night Football at Soldier Field last year, and he looked
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: like frickin' Tom Brady out there on that fourth quarter
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: drive to beat the.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was awful for three quarters, and then Rosa
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: got up off the mat and beat him.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: I thought, wow, this is a rookie playing his first
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: ever game in prime time. Is that where the meme
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: came from of him looking tough in the locker room?
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: I think so. That's probably where you got nined. He
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: had that moment. That was his moment. The Vikings have
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: owned the Bears.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: I mean, a lot of teams have owned the Bears
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: over the years, but the Vikings recently, I think, have
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: won 5 of 6.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: It's heady times for the Bears, and meanwhile, the Cubs tonight.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: If you hate Chicago with every fiber of your being.
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the Sox played today, too. Got a root against
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: the Cubs today. Brewer Sox series, wouldn't that be great
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: to beat them?
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Hey, that's where, when they opened the season, it's so
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: interesting because they opened the season and the Brewers walked
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: all over the White Sox.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: Sure, they did.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: And it's like, oh, same old White Sox, they still suck.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Because they're like 14-2 or something.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I popped into their radio booth and I talked to
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Len Casper and Darren Jackson, who used to play for
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: the Brewers, and just chopping it up. I'm like, oh,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: we're better. It's, you know. They got the Murakami kid
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: and they got the, you know, he's like, they said, well,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: we're better. And Murph said, this team's going to be
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: heard from this team. Like we, yeah, we, you got
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: a good series, but they're going to be better than
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: people think. Murph was right. He saw something.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: And the White Sox were better.
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: And we're so far removed from that Brewers, White Sox
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: vitriol that, that, that I'm not, you think about whether
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: Tony Phillips going into the stands to fight somebody in
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: the county stadium.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: But, but this is a team that lost 225 games
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: the last two years combined. I'm kind of happy for
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: the White Sox.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Terry Bevington and Phil are looking for another fight.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Terry Bevington.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Somewhere they're looking for another scrap.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: They're looking for a scrap. And when Garner challenged Hawk Harrelson.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Hardcore. It's a nice park. Yeah, they've gussied it up.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: And here they are looking to get out now, too.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: And the Bears.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: What is it with Chicago and venues? Why can't they
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: just settle in?
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Soldier Field is a dump, but it's
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: an abomination. The White Sox. Oh, I wouldn't go that far.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Dumped it like that.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: You heard about it.
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: The remodel's terrible. What I love about it, Drew, is
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: it's the smallest stadium by far in the NFL.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: It is. 60,000 seats.
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: So, I mean, our seats are in the end zone
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: when I go and 35 rows up. You can see everything.
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: It's kind of compact.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: It's not in a bad setting. It's Grant Park, basically.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: It's part of that whole... Oh, that's true. Green space.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Field museum and everything like that. Now, parking, forget about it.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Hard to get to.
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: There's no little neighborhoods like around Lambeau where you can
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: park and the guy puts a port-a-potty in his backyard.
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: But you can get a couple of Medellos for like
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: five bucks as you walk through Grant Park out of
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: a cooler guy.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: That's a plus. That's right.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: That's a plus. But I just liked it better before
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: the remodel.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: I agree. The White Sox.
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: I think probably have a legitimate, I mean, beef. Remember
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: when they built that? Nobody knew what a modern era
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: ballpark was supposed to look like, right?
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Late 80s? 91, 92, I don't want to say.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: The White Sox Park was like when the Brewers got their,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: remember when the Brewers got the new scoreboard? And then, like,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: two years later, everybody got Jumbotrons, and we were stuck
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: with the grainy World War II movies for highlights.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: The Bradley Center was in some ways like that, too.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Bradley Center was like that because then arenas got better.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: It was, like, right at.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: The end of the boom, or right at the beginning
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: of it, I want to say.
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: Or whatever.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they were, like, in the wrong era. They were, like,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, and the White Sox, but they've gussied
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: that up, and it's as nice as it can be.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: I like that part. I've never disliked that stadium. I
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: thought it seemed... You know, with the way the scoreboard
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: and the fireworks and the way the polls would come up,
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: it seemed to me.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, the old Bill Vecht touch.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: It seemed majestic and stately. to me, but people always
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: make fun of it.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but like the way the... I guess
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: originally it was too steep. Too steep. And it was.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: It was scary. My grandpa would always complain about that.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: I'd never go on a new Comiskey with the way
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: that it's so steep because he was a Southsider.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: So, okay, so where are the White Sox, where are
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: they talking about moving to? They're exploring the idea of.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I didn't see the location.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I saw that they're thinking of moving, but then the
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Bears with their flirtation with Hammond, Indiana.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: I would just wish they would put that thing to
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: bed one way or another.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Go to.
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: They're going to be at Soldier Field, what is it,
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: through 2030 or 2031? Yeah, because it'll take that long
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: to build it.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: What about Arlington Heights? They have the land in Arlington Heights.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: They do. They have the old racetrack. Yeah. I missed
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: the old racetrack. Perfect spot.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: That was a great way to spend a day.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: It really was. Cheap entertainment for the most part.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: South Loop along the western bank of the Chicago River,
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: stretching from Roosevelt Road south to 18th.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: That's what one report was. It's an Amtrak yard. Yeah, exactly.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. So it's, yeah, they're looking at that,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: the South, which would be cool. It would, you know.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, that's kind of. They have a
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: new owner, so maybe they'll, maybe they'll spice it up and. Yeah,
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: I mean, I remember when the city thought they were
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: going to lose them to Tampa Bay back in the day.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: I remember that. Oh, yeah.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Jerry Reinsdorf, right?
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: They was going to pull the plug and they were
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: going to move. Yeah.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: I mean, the park where it is now, I kind
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: of like because it's so easy in, so easy out.
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: God bless Wrigley Field, but you better have a couple
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: hours each way getting in and out of there. White
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: Sox Park, you pull in, you're in the parking lots,
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: and you're walking within five minutes, you're in the ballpark.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: The worst thing is the drive to Wrigley, and Dobie,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: you've been there many times and done the gigs, but
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Like the.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Last mile takes an hour. It's so bad.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: And parking there is not good unless you're a media member.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: And you're going to pay. A lot of money.
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: Kind of like you're going to pay this weekend at
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: American Family Field. Parking rates are going to go up significantly. Yeah,
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: the playoff prices are up. I think the get-in price
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: for a ticket is like, what, $ 110?
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Something like that. Can't complain, though. What should Brewers fans
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: be rooting for, Dolph? Should they be cheering for a
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Cubs rematch and get things started and run it back
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: from last year? Or should they say, bring on the
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Padres because then, The Padres aren't going to travel with 15,000,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: 20,000 of their best friends. That's a great point. And
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: the secondary ticket market will collapse because right now I
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: think getting the door is like 200 bucks.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that'll hold if it's not Chicago.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: I didn't consider that.
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: But immediately, you know, the politically correct answers say, oh,
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: bring on anybody because the Brewers are the best team
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: in baseball.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: They are. But give me the Cubs. I mean, if
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: you look at those two teams right now. Yeah.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: And the Cubs bullpen. I think that's the most winnable
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: series to beat the Cubs. You would avoid Mason Miller.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: And then we'd lose the chance to boo Manny Machado.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, true.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: The people's enemy.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good point. They've got some fellas in that lineup.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: The thing is, and this is the duality of the
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: baseball postseason. We've been talking about it. It's the most random.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: In football, you get a bye, and you rest up,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: and you get an advantage. In baseball, you get a bye,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: you get rusty for a week, you're used to playing
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: every day, and you're at a disadvantage.
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Because the team that comes in, they might be tired,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: and their bullpen might be chewed up, but they're rolling.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: I see there's a practice-slash-workout today. You going out?
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: No.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: I've seen enough BP in my life.
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: Somebody emailed me yesterday when I said they're going to
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: play the Winter of the Padres and Cubs and asked
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: why baseball doesn't recede. I said, football is really the
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: only one that does, aren't they?
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: The NFL?
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and baseball, you've got to have some travel certainty.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: You've got to book hotel blocks and stuff to give
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: it a little bit of a head start.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, only the NHL does.
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: The NHL doesn't, and neither does the NBA, and of
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: course the NCAA tournament. I mean, can you imagine if
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: they receded that?
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: It's impossible. You can't do that. Yeah.
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Logistically, I mean, it's just too hard. So, yeah, baseball's the.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Only one that actually has locked in. Yeah, they lock
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: into a bracket. And then, like Armand was saying, they
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: assume chalk where the Dodgers would be ostensibly to face
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: the Phillies.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: They wouldn't want the Brewers to face the No. 3
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: seed because they're the No.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: 1 seed, right?
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: So it's like that's why they kind of lock in.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: And they don't reseed. And there was talk, like, the
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: team with the best record gets home field. And back
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: in the day, again, we go back to the debacle
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: of the tide all-star game here when they decided that
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: the winner of the all-star game would have home field advantage.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: And everybody's like, how can they do that? How can
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: something so stupid and meaningless? And it's like, Oh, as
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: opposed to when they used to do it every other year,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: the Brewers didn't have home field in 82. Cause that
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: was when they used to go every other year. National
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: league has home American league has home. So then they
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: made it to tie it to the all-star game. And
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: people thought that was a travesty. Like it's not any
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: more of a travesty than having an alternate.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: I forgot about that. I also forgot.
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: Did they have a combination of national league and American
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: league umpires there? The American League umpires with their maroon blazers.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: And then they would meld them together. Yeah, that's right.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: They did in both.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: It's so interesting the way that they used to do that.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Because now it just seems so, you know, it's one league.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: It's so silly to try. But it was so separate
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: back then. The NL guys.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: It was. American League hats and the NL hats. And
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: it was just so funny. World Series should be the
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: most exciting thing in baseball. And it still is. But
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: then it was.
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: you got thrilled even if your team wasn't in it
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: because you wanted to see these guys play against each
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: other that never, ever played against each other.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: You guys think I have a theory. This is super
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: off the wall and random, but I'm going to say it.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Speaking of umpires, I think because of ABS, maybe it's
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: just the way trends have changed. I think umpires are
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: a lot less interesting with their strike three calls. They're
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: a lot less demonstrative. They used to be their calling card.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: It used to be. They have to be because it
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: can get challenged and overturned. That's it.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: It used to be their magnum opus was a crazy,
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: dramatic strike three call.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: Now none of them do it at all.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Not only they had different umpires and there was like
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: a different strike zone. because the nationally guys had their
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: inside chest protector, the more discreet one. And the American
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: league guys had the balloon pillow up front. So they
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: couldn't get down and see the low part of the zone.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: And I was like, there was different strikes on different umpires.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: It was quite a different game back then.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: You know, there's certain things you miss Armin bringing that up.
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: I mean, you miss the, the, the turning the hat
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: around screaming back and forth with the, umpires. You don't
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: see that hardly at all anymore.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: You miss Earl Weaver going at it with Bill Hall. Oh,
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: you ain't no good neither. Lou Piniella.
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, especially now that there's sound on YouTube to all
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: of those arguments.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: That's the best. We got to keep micing up umpires.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: F you, no F you. Yeah. You ain't no good neither.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: That was the best. That's awesome.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: That's hilarious. So yeah, today, Dolph, will you plunk down
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: and watch a little of the quadruple header?
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know I'm a Yankee guy at heart, sorry. Yeah.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: So I have to watch Yankees-Red Sox, and that's a
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: night game, right? I assume all of.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Those are going to play.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Well, they said Judge and Stanton are both going to
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: try to go. Who's pitching? Schlittler? Yeah, you get that
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Cam Schlittler who's phenomenal. Yeah, he's good.
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: He was the one guy against the Brewers this year
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: that really shut him down, but then the Brewers got
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: the big hit late, like after he left the game
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: to win that Saturday night game.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: I think he'll win A.L. Cy Young. I don't know.
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: He's certainly in the mix for that and rookie of
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: the year. He's really impressive.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: And then, you know, but the Red Sox, they've got
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: a good young staff, too. Well, interesting to see some
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: of the ex-brewers in that game.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Indeed.
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: My buddy is a Red Sox fan, and obviously Caleb
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: Durley loves, but he said, Monasterio, he said, Where'd this
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: guy come from?
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: I said, he was a great guy here. Good clubhouse guy.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: He won a couple games for the Brewers. Yankees, Red
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Sox in the playoffs. It feels like 04. I know.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: I hate to see one of them gone so early.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: I know, that's true. I prefer 03, Armin. Aaron freaking Boone.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Aaron freaking Boone. Oh, my goodness.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: That's classic. Or 78.
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: Bucky freaking Dent. Enjoy this glorious day.

• 38:34
  Speaker 2: what is going on here? Hey, hey, hey, hey, what
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: is going on here? I won't play the two-minute supercut
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: of him doing the same thing. Two-minute supercut. Yeah, Dennis Haskins,
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: he played Mr. Bell famously in Saved by the Bell.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: A cultural touchstone for a generation passed away, rest in peace.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: He was obviously, you know, big from that show. And
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: a lot of people, the kids and people know him
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: from that, but he also had a turn as kind
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: of like a, a bar appearance guy and a club
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: appearance guy. And he kept showing up on the internet
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: in the mid two thousands and 2010s on stage with
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: a bunch of college kids.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: And it was always like a funny thing to see.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: So, He milked a kid's sitcom for four years. He
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: turned it into a career.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: No one squeezed more out of the orange than him.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: So rest in peace. And also, we had a lot
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: of things. They did Save by the Bell New Class.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: New Class. He was on longer than any of the actors.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: That was seven years.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, he was on New Class and all these things. So, yeah,
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: rest in peace, Dennis. That's 75 years old.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: So, I think when he played Mr. Bell, he was
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: like 49 or 50, I think. Maybe younger. Which was
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: ancient to the teams you're watching.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe younger.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought he was. Well, let's see. That show
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: debuted in 89, and he was born in 50. So,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: he's like, okay, he's 40.
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: But.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, our boy Vas Gershon met him at this celebrity
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: thing he did in the 90s. And basically said he
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: was a nice dude, but then.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: He would call him and stuff out of the blue.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: He just couldn't get rid of the guy.
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: You get legendary for that stuff, yeah. Yeah.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Rest in peace, Mr.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: Belding. Rest in peace, Mr.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: Belding, patrolling the hallways of Bayside High for all those years.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: I think the Brewers brought him in.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Did the Admirals, too? I know the Brewers did.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: I know the Admirals. He did a lot of those appearances.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: We've got to get to the top, I know, but
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: I think Dolby's got it. Don't you have a screech story?
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: A screech story. We'll get to it.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: We'll get to that as we move forward. Hunter's going
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: to join us at 725 to talk baseball. It's playoff
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: palooza today. Quadruple header. So settle in. Settle in for
