1:53
Speaker 6: Uh eight seven seven, seven nine four one ninety seven
1:56
Speaker 6: three is the Nicolay Laudet com talk and text sign
2:00
Speaker 6: you're buying or selling. The Packers missed out by not
2:02
Speaker 6: acquiring Justin Fields, who was created to the Kansas City
2:05
Speaker 6: Chiefs to hold the clipboard for Patrick Mahomes.
2:08
Speaker 3: You know, Drew, I'm glad you mentioned that one.
2:10
Speaker 7: I wanted Fields as the Reclamation Project quarterback. I thought
2:14
Speaker 7: it was a perfect swap from Malik Willis, who confidence
2:19
Speaker 7: completely broken when he came here from Tennessee. Get a
2:23
Speaker 7: change of pace kind of quarterback. And I still think
2:26
Speaker 7: Fields is an excellent talent, Like you watched him be
2:29
Speaker 7: too good at Ohio State to just not be able
2:32
Speaker 7: to play.
2:33
Speaker 3: But you need some kind of help, You need some
2:35
Speaker 3: kind of aid. And I'm not Adam Shine.
2:38
Speaker 7: He had said yesterday on his Mad Dog Sports radio show,
2:41
Speaker 7: The Chiefs this is probably the year they're going to finish.
2:43
Speaker 3: Last in the division.
2:43
Speaker 7: Now, wow, wow, after I signed the backup quarterback, who
2:48
Speaker 7: might I mean, in all reality, Fields is probably going
2:50
Speaker 7: to start two games, right, one or two games if
2:53
Speaker 7: Mahomes isn't ready to start the year, which everybody says
2:56
Speaker 7: he's going to. I think he's going to try to
2:58
Speaker 7: push to play. I wouldn't be surprise if they tried
3:00
Speaker 7: to hold him back a little bit. But you get
3:03
Speaker 7: somebody into that room that's that's been there, done that,
3:06
Speaker 7: and Andy Reid around anybody, I think it's gonna be
3:10
Speaker 7: a little bit of a magical elixer. And all he
3:13
Speaker 7: has to do is throw like two touchdowns in one
3:14
Speaker 7: half of football, and Justin Field's gonna make another twenty
3:17
Speaker 7: thirty million to go somewhere else now high. It's a great,
3:20
Speaker 7: great move, and I definitely would have liked the Packers
3:22
Speaker 7: to be one of the teams to be able to
3:24
Speaker 7: grab him.
3:24
Speaker 3: I'm with you, and I think I'm also gonna buy
3:26
Speaker 3: the fact that who will be the Packers back up
3:29
Speaker 3: next year? I think it should be a vet reclamation project.
3:31
Speaker 3: The Packers have done well with that now on the
3:33
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers years and often the Farbears, it was like,
3:36
Speaker 3: we'll grow someone behind him. That's our own guy, you know,
3:39
Speaker 3: the bred Huntleys of the world. But in this case,
3:41
Speaker 3: you did so well with Malik Willis. I think with
3:44
Speaker 3: the propensity of injuries the quarterbacks have in the league now,
3:47
Speaker 3: I think it would be good to get a guy
3:49
Speaker 3: like that. And Fields would have been good also, because
3:51
Speaker 3: you know backup quarterbacks, especially what Malik was good at
3:54
Speaker 3: was that change of pace the legs. Fields is great
3:57
Speaker 3: at that. You know, he uses legs a lot, being
3:59
Speaker 3: able to run. So it's gonna be interesting to see
4:01
Speaker 3: what the packers Planet backup quarterback is if they're just
4:03
Speaker 3: gonna roll with you know internal you know, or they're
4:06
Speaker 3: gonna try, yeah, ridder, or pick up a guy and
4:09
Speaker 3: try and mold him into something new that they did
4:12
Speaker 3: so much with Malik Willis. And you're right if you
4:15
Speaker 3: if you're a guy around the league that needs a
4:18
Speaker 3: little bit of a reclamation, you have to look at
4:20
Speaker 3: the Packers and say, you know, I want them to
4:21
Speaker 3: do with me what they did with Malik Willis. Get
4:23
Speaker 3: me those two games, get me that forty million.
4:25
Speaker 6: You know, justin Field didn't have a choice. He was traded,
4:28
Speaker 6: but then the Jets pick up most of his salary.
4:31
Speaker 7: Yeah, So I wonder if there were some conversations right
4:35
Speaker 7: like we got four or five they said, like some
4:36
Speaker 7: teams were a bunch of different teams were interested. Would
4:38
Speaker 7: it ended up being like a sixth round pick swap.
4:40
Speaker 7: You could definitely do that that that'd be fine. And
4:42
Speaker 7: then if it works out and you can parlay that
4:46
Speaker 7: into a compensatory pick like the Packers, did you go
4:48
Speaker 7: from the seventh to the fourth or they are the
4:50
Speaker 7: sixth of the fourth in this this instance, Ritter though
4:53
Speaker 7: Drew maybe his reclamation story would be closer to Willis.
4:57
Speaker 4: Right.
4:58
Speaker 7: Third round pick was kind of of like one of
5:00
Speaker 7: the better quarterbacks in that draft, but it was a
5:02
Speaker 7: definitely down year for quarterbacks.
5:05
Speaker 3: Ed Ritters won a little bit, right.
5:06
Speaker 7: I mean, he was at Cincinnati with with Luke Fickle,
5:09
Speaker 7: so he's seen it done certain places, and he's a
5:11
Speaker 7: little bit of a change of pace guy.
5:12
Speaker 3: So I a little bit that part of the I
5:15
Speaker 3: don't know if it's an ego.
5:16
Speaker 7: I don't know if it's a confidence, But I also
5:18
Speaker 7: think it's when you talk about wanting to draft somebody.
5:21
Speaker 7: Every year Goody said he wanted to get back into
5:23
Speaker 7: that business. They haven't kept that guy a couple of years.
5:26
Speaker 7: So he's gotta draft somebody that's gonna be good enough
5:29
Speaker 7: that we think, if.
5:30
Speaker 3: We need to, he can help us win a football game.
5:32
Speaker 3: And a younger guy as opposed to like a Russell
5:34
Speaker 3: Wilson or you know, a Flacco or something like that. True,
5:38
Speaker 3: I think a younger guy would be better, But are
5:41
Speaker 3: you buying or selling that? When it comes down to
5:44
Speaker 3: the UH.
5:44
Speaker 6: For all the tostitos tonight in the World Baseball Classic,
5:47
Speaker 6: Jackson Turia will have a bigger impact on the game
5:49
Speaker 6: than Bryce terrang more hits, more productive from the nine spot.
5:53
Speaker 6: Both gonna be down at the bottom of the order,
5:55
Speaker 6: probably facing off against you other. There's three Brewers on
5:58
Speaker 6: the Venezuela side, Yep, yeah, Zurpa and wild Bill Contreros,
6:02
Speaker 6: who's done nothing. It wouldn't be just on brand for
6:04
Speaker 6: Contreras to hit a grand slam tonight after.
6:07
Speaker 7: I was I was just gonna say the two guys
6:10
Speaker 7: that would concern me as a Brewers fan that have
6:12
Speaker 7: seen those guys playing big moments. Both of those cats
6:14
Speaker 7: raise to the level in the biggest game.
6:18
Speaker 6: This has been kind of a coming out for terrang
6:19
Speaker 6: even though he's like no surprise to us that he's
6:22
Speaker 6: a great player, elite m but man Turo just has
6:25
Speaker 6: a flair. He's got a flair for that dramatic dude,
6:28
Speaker 6: Like I'm I'm buying that Cherio is gonna have a
6:30
Speaker 6: bigger impact he comes up. I think i'd buy that
6:33
Speaker 6: as well, And I think he'd have a bigger impact
6:34
Speaker 6: than anybody and maybe even Zerba, who I don't know
6:37
Speaker 6: if he can go tonight right now, I don't know
6:39
Speaker 6: with all of the rules, with the back day day
6:42
Speaker 6: after and the Venezuelan side. They threw a ton of
6:44
Speaker 6: pitchers last night, right I mean, they had a lot
6:46
Speaker 6: of guys going inning and inning and two thirds for Rangers.
6:48
Speaker 3: Sjuarez.
6:49
Speaker 7: So pitching is gonna be maybe an issue, uh for
6:52
Speaker 7: the Venezuelan side, but especially if Cheerio comes up to
6:56
Speaker 7: lead off an inning, I think that there's a very
6:59
Speaker 7: very good chance that ball is going to the right
7:02
Speaker 7: center bleachers.
7:03
Speaker 3: It absolutely does feel that way, Billy, that he has
7:05
Speaker 3: that flare for the dramatic in those spots when he's
7:07
Speaker 3: leading off. I don't know what it is, But I
7:09
Speaker 3: don't know what it is. It's something that listen, Bryce
7:11
Speaker 3: has had it too. I mean he had the big
7:13
Speaker 3: homer obviously, and in Game five. Buy er sell that
7:16
Speaker 3: when Bryce has his most dramatic moment tonight, if he
7:19
Speaker 3: has a hero moment, he'll absolutely show zero motion. I'm
7:22
Speaker 3: buying it. He'll show no emotion, he won't care at all.
7:25
Speaker 3: He'll be like, yeah, whatever, I mean, I can't sell it.
7:29
Speaker 3: You know that home run last year against the Like,
7:31
Speaker 3: I can't imagine hitting the home run that big and
7:33
Speaker 3: that important and not just freaking out. That's just my own,
7:36
Speaker 3: you know way about me, as you guys know, like
7:38
Speaker 3: that'd be my own natural insinct is to absolutely just
7:40
Speaker 3: go crazy and do the Joe Carter and jump around.
7:42
Speaker 3: But I love Bryce Terray, he's right here all the
7:45
Speaker 3: time of that. Even Keel, he's got that line. All right,
7:47
Speaker 3: let's do a buy ourself from Julie Fluno on Facebook.
7:50
Speaker 3: Here dropping in with the hot hot Facebook comment buy
7:54
Speaker 3: our self from Julie Fluno. I hope I'm pronouncing that right,
7:56
Speaker 3: as we know on name is important. Yes, all right,
7:59
Speaker 3: could be Funnel hald Coots right her take on Facebook
8:03
Speaker 3: comments right here in the window. Badgers will make it
8:05
Speaker 3: to Indianapolis, and I can't wait to watch all the
8:08
Speaker 3: haters walk away with their tails between their legs. I
8:11
Speaker 3: was talking about you, armin baby. I love when people
8:13
Speaker 3: underestimate their ability to win against any team on Wisconsin.
8:17
Speaker 3: Oh wait, there's more from Julia's second comment. It will
8:21
Speaker 3: be a rematch of twenty fifteen, the final game against Duke,
8:24
Speaker 3: but this time our boys will bring on the hardware.
8:26
Speaker 3: And I was there when the referees decided to favor
8:29
Speaker 3: Duke and shut down Frank the Tank, but not this year.
8:32
Speaker 3: By herself that there have been a lot of haters
8:34
Speaker 3: to shut up about the Badgers. Had there been a lot,
8:37
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know man what haters there been, But.
8:40
Speaker 7: Well, I mean I think there's always people that doubt
8:43
Speaker 7: I don't. I think there's a lot of people that
8:45
Speaker 7: would doubt it, and douters and haters probably in the
8:48
Speaker 7: same vein. But what are they like the fifth or
8:52
Speaker 7: sixth seeded Big Ten team right behind a couple of
8:54
Speaker 7: like so I think there's an understandable question. But like
8:59
Speaker 7: from the confidence of them and from the team Drew,
9:02
Speaker 7: I don't know if if I've been more confident in
9:05
Speaker 7: a Badger team going into a tournament since some of
9:08
Speaker 7: those teams of like the fourteen fifteen sixteen, I was
9:11
Speaker 7: gonna say, yeah, right, Like I mean just from the
9:13
Speaker 7: attitude and the aggression, and you know, I was listening
9:17
Speaker 7: to Great Guard's conversation with Butchie on Butchi's then we're
9:19
Speaker 7: going to talk to Brian in about a half hour,
9:22
Speaker 7: where I know you can appreciate this, Like they attack
9:26
Speaker 7: the rim and are ultra aggressive offensively, but dude, they
9:31
Speaker 7: don't turn the ball over a ton, right, And like,
9:33
Speaker 7: I think that's one of the times in the tournament
9:35
Speaker 7: where you see and the cliche of guards winning the tournament, Well,
9:39
Speaker 7: guards that protect the basketball in the tournament a lot
9:41
Speaker 7: of times win because each team's going to go through
9:43
Speaker 7: a three or four minute drought where they're not going
9:45
Speaker 7: to score. But as long as you're not giving up
9:47
Speaker 7: easy buckets on a quick turnover in the backcourt, you
9:50
Speaker 7: got a great chance to be able to survive.
9:52
Speaker 6: I think so as well buying or selling, there's a
9:55
Speaker 6: good setup buying or selling that Nolan Winter and Jack
9:59
Speaker 6: Kinnicky I have an impact for the Badgers on the
10:02
Speaker 6: first weekend of the tournament because they're starting it's starting
10:04
Speaker 6: to sound like Janicki's.
10:05
Speaker 3: Getting close that one. I was surprised about you.
10:07
Speaker 6: I thought that I thought he was basically out for
10:09
Speaker 6: the year too, But it sounds like he's getting close.
10:11
Speaker 6: So you're buying her selling that they could have an impact.
10:13
Speaker 6: I'm buying Nolan Winter's having a big game. Having a
10:16
Speaker 6: big game in one of these ones. Frankly, High Point
10:19
Speaker 6: feels like the right the one that would be right
10:21
Speaker 6: for it. With the size advantage that it'd be a
10:24
Speaker 6: great opportunity.
10:24
Speaker 3: To get him going a little bit. And and the
10:26
Speaker 3: jag thing is interesting. Maybe his presence could just be
10:29
Speaker 3: an emotional lift to this. Yeah, and the d so.
10:32
Speaker 6: Janicki had the wrist, Nolan Winter had the ankle. If
10:35
Speaker 6: you have a risk ankle, back, knee, hip injury, Wisconsin
10:40
Speaker 6: is the place to go. Ortho Wisconsin dot com is
10:42
Speaker 6: the website world class care right here close to home.
10:47
Speaker 6: Check them out Ortho Wisconsin dot Com. Orthopedic Associates in Wisconsin.
10:51
Speaker 6: There is a difference elite elite. I think injuries. I
10:56
Speaker 6: think Ortho Wisconsin because the two year anniversary is coming up.
10:59
Speaker 6: With my hip placements, they were getting real close to
11:01
Speaker 6: that celeb close to the April eighth celebration.
11:04
Speaker 3: We're gonna run like a four to five k on
11:06
Speaker 3: that day or a five k that day. I'd love
11:08
Speaker 3: to if it's nice enough outside. That's right. Are we
11:11
Speaker 3: buying or selling that the Bucks can cover ten and
11:13
Speaker 3: a half tonight against Cleveland at five er form? Yeah?
11:15
Speaker 3: I must sell that one. Selling that.
11:17
Speaker 7: I'm must sell that one, Okay, But that's because I
11:21
Speaker 7: don't know that Giannis is playing right after the or
11:25
Speaker 7: whatever whatever the little tweak on the dunklake. If he
11:28
Speaker 7: was going, I would be taking the ten and a half.
11:31
Speaker 7: If he doesn't, I think I wouldn't. I don't know
11:33
Speaker 7: that i'd take twenty.
11:34
Speaker 3: The Bucks beat Cleveland recently, they.
11:36
Speaker 7: Beat him in that eight of ten windstreak run where
11:40
Speaker 7: I think they sat hard and mobiley Mitchell and Mitchell,
11:44
Speaker 7: they sat all their all their frontline players outside.
11:47
Speaker 3: Of the game by two.
11:48
Speaker 7: Yes, even with the win over and Jared Allen almost
11:51
Speaker 7: had a game tying tippin'.
11:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true. With like thirty points for a fifteen
11:55
Speaker 3: point game, and even with that win over Indiana, what
11:57
Speaker 3: the bugs are showing you doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.
11:59
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna sell that. I hate to say, but
12:01
Speaker 3: you know what, that win against the win against the
12:03
Speaker 3: Pacers was fun. It's nice that we have all feather
12:05
Speaker 3: in the cause. At the NBC game tonight, is that
12:08
Speaker 3: the uh oh, good question. Look it might be I
12:11
Speaker 3: think it might be. Man when they when they booked that,
12:14
Speaker 3: did they think that they had an absolute banger on
12:17
Speaker 3: NBC and Peacock. Yeah, it is absolutely on the Peacock
12:21
Speaker 3: and NBC. Uh there it is. You're say, right, wow,
12:24
Speaker 3: all right, NBA in prime time. It's what they paid for.
12:27
Speaker 3: They got to be pumped for that.
12:29
Speaker 6: Calves Calves favor by ten and a half tonight at
12:32
Speaker 6: five serve for him forty twenty seven calves.
12:36
Speaker 7: Would you would you buy that the Calves could win
12:39
Speaker 7: the East? Do you think that they're in that spot?
12:41
Speaker 7: Are you taking are you still rolling kind with us?
12:43
Speaker 3: They're ready? No, potentially, but I wouldn't put money on it.
12:48
Speaker 7: I still think one of the craziest ones is I
12:50
Speaker 7: still love the way the Celtics are playing right now,
12:52
Speaker 7: and hard not to dude, when they get some guys
12:54
Speaker 7: rolling through and when they get Tatum back and as
12:57
Speaker 7: much as they're gonna like, you're gonna see a lot
12:59
Speaker 7: of three pointers going up in this NCAA tournament. Once
13:02
Speaker 7: the NBA Playoffs and the best tournament in basketball players
13:04
Speaker 7: up in April, You're gonna see way more threes. And
13:08
Speaker 7: that team shoots more of them than just about anybody
13:11
Speaker 7: in ball. So I'm excited for it.
13:12
Speaker 3: But guys, tonight, I mean, who does not have their
13:17
Speaker 3: popcorn ready Drew and just waiting with baited breath to
13:20

13:26
Speaker 7: can only assume throughout tonight.

13:30
Speaker 3: can't remember who it was it was. It's gonna be
13:32
Speaker 3: a nice, a nice appetizer as we get going. Look
13:36
Speaker 3: the two teams playing for their lives, their chance to
13:38
Speaker 3: make get their one and only tournament victory. It is
13:41
Speaker 3: kind of cool, you know, all respect to UNBC. Did
13:44
Speaker 3: win the sixteen seed the one year, of course Fairley Dickinson,
13:46
Speaker 3: but probably not gonna win it again another sixteen seeds,
13:49
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's a safe bet they're probably not gonna
13:52
Speaker 3: do it again. Probably say bet. So I'm excited to
13:54
Speaker 3: watch and get a little appetizer for Thursday and tomorrow

14:31
Speaker 7: a celebration. I think it's the perfect greatest kickoff to
14:34
Speaker 7: a baseball season.
14:35
Speaker 3: You could have Drew.
14:36
Speaker 7: But there's certain people that are in the in the rosters,
14:40
Speaker 7: in the decision making process that think it needs to
14:42
Speaker 7: be in the middle of the year so you don't
14:44
Speaker 7: have limitations on players. I don't know that it's as
14:47
Speaker 7: cool and as celebratory if it's in June or July.
14:51
Speaker 7: And I definitely don't know that it gainst the eyeballs
14:53
Speaker 7: if it's in July, like it's getting right now.
14:55
Speaker 3: Agreed, Absolutely, I think it's way better right now to
14:57
Speaker 3: be able to with the palette. I think I think totally.
15:01
Speaker 6: It's just it's a and it again, it's created eyeballs revenue.
15:07
Speaker 6: What's the league deserves some credit for this world Baseball
15:09
Speaker 6: class big time, Yes, but because he was commissioner when
15:13
Speaker 6: it first began. Correct, And it gets you fired up
15:15
Speaker 6: for what's to come.
15:16
Speaker 3: And I like this.
15:17
Speaker 6: I like this portion now. Plus these guys playing at
15:20
Speaker 6: a high level, we had what dias get hurt. We
15:24
Speaker 6: haven't had injuries and stuff, but have them go through
15:26
Speaker 6: it now and then it creates opportunity for other guys
15:29
Speaker 6: in camps.
15:30
Speaker 3: Yes, it's and it gives you. Yeah, it's just cool.
15:32
Speaker 7: Well, and I think for the team building aspect, the
15:36
Speaker 7: part you mentioned last is maybe the coolest part, Like
15:38
Speaker 7: the amount of games that Cooper Pratt has gotten with
15:40
Speaker 7: the big club for the Brewers during spring training. Otherwise
15:43
Speaker 7: you're not getting if everybody is there, and that kind
15:45
Speaker 7: of that kind of development when they were trying to
15:47
Speaker 7: fast track players, I think is even more.
15:49
Speaker 6: And what this little the jolt that Andrew Fisher's been
15:52
Speaker 6: getting from starring for Italy. I mean, would you have
15:56
Speaker 6: had this impact and then what his development have been
15:58
Speaker 6: enhanced as much in Brewers camp?
16:00
Speaker 3: Hard to think, so, No, I don't think.
16:02
Speaker 6: I don't think every night facing the best of the
16:04
Speaker 6: best rather than you know, against some a ball pitcher
16:07
Speaker 6: or something that they want to get a look at.
16:09
Speaker 3: It's it's just it. It just it's cool. Could juice?
16:12
Speaker 7: Could you see it getting bigger or do you think
16:14
Speaker 7: like in terms of like more teams or law anything be.
16:19
Speaker 6: Interesting because like when the Olympics rolls around, depending on
16:21
Speaker 6: the CBAM, HM, do they then not have a World
16:25
Speaker 6: Baseball Classic and shut down two weeks and send guys
16:28
Speaker 6: to the Olympics and let him play like this?
16:30
Speaker 3: It's a good question, I mean, and they shut down
16:33
Speaker 3: you could do it, but it's hard in the summer.
16:35
Speaker 3: I mean it would be hard.
16:36
Speaker 7: It's hard with so many games being played, But they're
16:38
Speaker 7: talking about it, and I think it would be a
16:41
Speaker 7: huge boost. I think it'd be a great way. It'd
16:43
Speaker 7: be cool and and frankly, if if you needed to
16:45
Speaker 7: change the calendar around, why not throw it in for
16:48
Speaker 7: a couple of schedule double headers, Like, it's not like
16:50
Speaker 7: we haven't done it before. If you take a week
16:53
Speaker 7: and a half off the they did some of them
16:54
Speaker 7: during COVID, and I know they shorten them to seven innings.
16:56
Speaker 3: Maybe we don't do that, but like you, you find
16:59
Speaker 3: ways to be creative with it.
17:01
Speaker 7: Like I just think, right, this is one of the
17:03
Speaker 7: best celebrations baseball has had in a long time, and
17:07
Speaker 7: one of the most energetic feels that you've had were
17:10
Speaker 7: the World Series is always good, but it's buried in
17:12
Speaker 7: the middle of football season. People have started to move
17:15
Speaker 7: through a bunch of different things, and if your team's
17:17
Speaker 7: not in it, it can be a little bit of
17:19
Speaker 7: a buzz kill because you've watched six months worth of
17:21
Speaker 7: baseball and I don't necessarily know that I want to
17:23
Speaker 7: I want to watch baseball now. I was sitting there
17:26
Speaker 7: last night waiting for a six forty start for the
17:28
Speaker 7: Brewers in a week and a half, and like it
17:30
Speaker 7: just feels like the time is just perfect right here.
17:32
Speaker 7: I hear you on that when Troy cast run YouTube comments.
17:35
Speaker 7: Do it like hockeyed for All Star breaks? Start the
17:36
Speaker 7: season a week.
17:37
Speaker 3: Earlier and have two weeks off for the All Star
17:39
Speaker 3: break and then you have a big break for the
17:40
Speaker 3: guys that are in it. It's super It's that is
17:44
Speaker 3: super early though. I mean, I know we're starting it
17:46
Speaker 3: a week basically, but I mean that we wait from Thursday.
17:50
Speaker 3: That is so early. But then again it's an extra week.
17:53
Speaker 3: It's a slippery slope. Put you could do it maybe
17:55
Speaker 3: mid March, you very much could.
17:57
Speaker 7: You have way too many teams that play in warm
17:59
Speaker 7: weather or in dun't domes, right, Like I mean, so
18:02
Speaker 7: the Brewers are basically playing you could assume seven of
18:05
Speaker 7: their first ten games at home, if not more, And
18:08
Speaker 7: I think it would.
18:08
Speaker 3: I just think it would make a lot of sense.
18:10
Speaker 3: It would be a great boost, especially Drew.
18:12
Speaker 7: Like you said, with the CBA, Yeah, whatever potentially happens
18:16
Speaker 7: with that CBA and how dicey it gets, you definitely
18:19
Speaker 7: could use that boom.
18:20
Speaker 6: Hey, our current electric hero of the day. I think
18:23
Speaker 6: I want to throw it in at Steve Kerr, mister
18:26
Speaker 6: six hundred victories. Let's go if Kerk could be our
18:29
Speaker 6: current electric superhero the day because I consider him like
18:33
Speaker 6: he won five titles as a player, four as a coach.
18:36
Speaker 6: He'll never catch Phil Jackson. No, he will haved what
18:40
Speaker 6: eleven and two as a player and eleven as a coach.
18:43
Speaker 6: But he's up in that echelon of the best coaches
18:45
Speaker 6: of all time?
18:46
Speaker 3: One thousand percent, thousand percent? What dynasty that they've had?
18:50
Speaker 3: What what about this one?
18:51
Speaker 7: If Tommy Lloyd doesn't get it done with Arizona, you're
18:54
Speaker 7: buying or selling Steve Kerr is the next Arizona head
18:56
Speaker 7: coach man. How much money could they throw at him
18:59
Speaker 7: to and to get him to go to college? It
19:01
Speaker 7: an interesting go back to the album Monitor that was
19:05
Speaker 7: Step almost done. He said, I'm never leaving him, but
19:07
Speaker 7: I don't know that I'm done coaching once.
19:09
Speaker 6: He stayed at Golden State for four more years and
19:10
Speaker 6: then run for governor of California. I'm not sure, but
19:13
Speaker 6: he's a good current electric superhero. The former Arizona standout
19:17
Speaker 6: Bulls stand out and of course coach of the Warriors
19:21
Speaker 6: during this dynastic run. I just figured it'd be good
19:23
Speaker 6: for us to give him the Current Electric superhero to day.
19:25
Speaker 7: I like that celebration of a great feat and Current
19:28
Speaker 7: Electric wants to celebrate spring.
19:30
Speaker 3: Hard to say that today, but it's right around the corner.
19:32
Speaker 7: This is gonna melt, and then your backyard once that
19:35
Speaker 7: dries up and all this the melted snow rolls on out,
19:39
Speaker 7: you're gonna want to brighten that place up with some
19:40
Speaker 7: beautiful outdoor lighting. And Current Electric there's superheroes at Current
19:44
Speaker 7: Electric are ready to assist. You see them at this
19:46
Speaker 7: year's Reeler's Home and Garden Show March twentieth through the
19:48
Speaker 7: twenty ninth. Ask them the best way to turn that
19:51
Speaker 7: outdoor living space, that backyard into a backyard oasis and
19:54
Speaker 7: make it the summer to remember. And you be a
19:57

20:43
Speaker 7: I had a friend of mine asked or I was
20:45
Speaker 7: at a career fair trying to talk to some youth
20:48
Speaker 7: the other day, and the one young lady said, I
20:51

Speaker 7: Turn that preset over to Fox Sports wiscontent we're here too.
21:18
Speaker 7: She didn't seem like they would have been the vibe
21:21
Speaker 7: because I don't know that we play enough Brooks and
21:23
Speaker 7: Don and Russell Dickerson. But I told her we'll fire
21:26
Speaker 7: some of that up. We'll get some of the country
21:28
Speaker 7: in here to be able to stream throughout the world.
21:30
Speaker 7: But the YouTube police and the YouTube crowd drew in
21:34
Speaker 7: full force here today. Maybe not as many viewers with
21:36
Speaker 7: us because a lot of those fifteen hundred may have
21:39
Speaker 7: had to go to work yesterday today.
21:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, and digging in when they get to work after
21:44
Speaker 3: a snow day yesterday.
21:45
Speaker 6: No school yesterday, you got your work from home, and
21:47
Speaker 6: if you're watching kids, that's tough.
21:49
Speaker 3: Well, we to get back at it. Already is the
21:52
Speaker 3: least productive work week of the year, no doubt.
21:54
Speaker 6: You got Saint Patrick's Day today and then the tournament
21:56
Speaker 6: Thursday Friday, and you doubled, you double up the snow
21:59
Speaker 6: day yesterday.
21:59
Speaker 3: I mean, place is better.
22:00
Speaker 6: Just pray tomorrow that there's at least a little something going.
22:03
Speaker 6: If you're not taking Thursday or Friday off, are you
22:07
Speaker 6: even a sports fan?
22:08
Speaker 7: And come on, yeah, unless you just fully decide, I'm
22:11
Speaker 7: just gonna rob them, right, I'm just gonna completely rob this.
22:14
Speaker 3: Work the clock.
22:14
Speaker 7: I'm gonna be on the clock watching every single one
22:16
Speaker 7: of these games on my three TV work the.
22:19
Speaker 3: Week between Christmas and New Year's right, I mean people
22:21
Speaker 3: are working, but you know it's the same deal, right,
22:24
Speaker 3: I mean we're really fooling them that week. Yeah for sure. Yeah,
22:27
Speaker 3: except there is i know, end of the quarter for
22:29
Speaker 3: some people. But it's not like and you know what
22:31
Speaker 3: we do. We have to prove we work. We have
22:33
Speaker 3: to be on the air giving a product to people.
22:36
Speaker 3: We're out there doing it. Well, we're the curtains up
22:39
Speaker 3: for it. We can't never make We can't just sit
22:42
Speaker 3: back in our chair and relax like in our desk,
22:44
Speaker 3: you know.
22:44
Speaker 7: And you know we can't mail it in right at least. Yeah,
22:46
Speaker 7: there's never any of that, right, Come on, one time, army.
22:51
Speaker 7: I love that competitiveness, That's what I'm talking about.
22:53
Speaker 3: Here's one for you.
22:54
Speaker 6: There was a tweet the other night as the US
22:56
Speaker 6: was getting ready to play the Dominican from someone in
22:59
Speaker 6: the crowd and justanding around the crowd during the anthems
23:01
Speaker 6: and stuff, and the tweet was I've not seen a
23:05
Speaker 6: sporting event that's this insane with fan passion. The super
23:09
Speaker 6: Bowl included I saw that, Yes, I saw that, Yes tweet.
23:12
Speaker 6: Sure that's something to think about too, because, yeah, there
23:18
Speaker 6: aren't as many neutral fans right as there are a
23:21
Speaker 6: super Bowl and corporate people and this is like the
23:23
Speaker 6: real baseball fans.
23:25
Speaker 3: The Venezuelan fans showed out big time. They have so
23:28
Speaker 3: much passion, rocket so much so the Dominican fans, so
23:31
Speaker 3: much passion energy. It just makes you get excited about it,
23:35
Speaker 3: love it, want to be part of it, want to watch,
23:37
Speaker 3: want to have that intensity. And it's a playoff atmos.
23:40
Speaker 3: It's totally bad time. And the super Bowl really isn't
23:42
Speaker 3: for fans, I mean the fans in the.
23:44
Speaker 7: Crowd in the Yeah, unless the game gets real tight,
23:48
Speaker 7: then unless it's great, unless it's a great way and
23:50
Speaker 7: you feel it a lot differently. Yeah, and you've been
23:52
Speaker 7: to a lot more World Series so you'd be able
23:54
Speaker 7: to tell. But with that being one sided, it's not
23:56
Speaker 7: nearly the celebration.
23:57
Speaker 3: It's not. It's not constant like that. And then yeah,
24:01
Speaker 3: I mean Bowl games used to kind of be like that, yeah, right,
24:05
Speaker 3: like they used to be when they had some kind
24:07
Speaker 3: of juice some kind of energy.
24:09
Speaker 6: But I also wonder if then, and I don't know
24:11
Speaker 6: what the full ticket prices are for this situation, and
24:13
Speaker 6: for this event, I think they're accessible because people are
24:15
Speaker 6: getting in right. Like, so I looked at the secondary mark.
24:18
Speaker 6: You can get like one hundred level tickets or like
24:20
Speaker 6: the first level tickets for under one thousand dollars. Now, listen,
24:23
Speaker 6: if I had that disposable income, be different, right, a conversation.
24:26
Speaker 6: But yeah, you're looking at there's no Super Bowl ticket
24:30
Speaker 6: that's ever sniffing under four digits or probably a really
24:34
Speaker 6: really good final four ticket National Championship.
24:37
Speaker 3: That's true. That's it. That's one of those differences of more.
24:40
Speaker 6: Accele big event things and to get the vibe that
24:44
Speaker 6: you're getting like that is going to be on display
24:46
Speaker 6: tonight Venezuela USA.
24:48
Speaker 7: It's going to be epic, it's gonna be awesome, and
24:50
Speaker 7: the the the Venezuelan energy is going to be great.
24:53
Speaker 7: I do appreciate the fact that they pimp and celebrate
24:56
Speaker 7: the home run, but I don't know that it's going
24:58
Speaker 7: to be the full fledged ridiculousness and incredible celebration of
25:04
Speaker 7: the Puerto Rican or the Dominican Republic team. But I
25:07
Speaker 7: do say, will bray you the kid from the Red
25:10
Speaker 7: Sox who had the home run for Venezuela a couple
25:12
Speaker 7: of days ago, that helicopter bat flip that he did.
25:16
Speaker 6: We've been trying that one in the house. It is
25:18
Speaker 6: not working very well. Not not doing that one is
25:20
Speaker 6: not working very well in the house.
25:22
Speaker 3: That's something to test out, you know, it's something to
25:24
Speaker 3: work on, to workshop the bat flips and things like that.
25:27
Speaker 7: Do you think that we're practicing bat flips potentially at
25:30
Speaker 7: all during during VP, right?
25:33
Speaker 3: I mean, because some of these are so good, there's
25:35
Speaker 3: no way you've never rehearsed. I think kids are coming
25:37
Speaker 3: up practicing him now to the point where their experts
25:39
Speaker 3: when they get to that level. I saw a kid
25:40
Speaker 3: was I saw a college game where it was like Texas,
25:43
Speaker 3: it was Tennessee, Georgia. I want to say, where a
25:45
Speaker 3: kid a wild, wild, bad flip and then it got
25:48
Speaker 3: robbed of the wall, got his ultimate come up and
25:51
Speaker 3: I don't know, a tough deal. I don't think it
25:52
Speaker 3: was a recent game where maybe it was I'm not
25:53
Speaker 3: really sure anymore. On the internet, but you know, to
25:56
Speaker 3: see videos like well, Judge. Judge was pretty close to it.
25:59
Speaker 7: He casually kind of flip that bat and like a
26:01
Speaker 7: little toothpick out of his hand. When Rodriguez robbed his
26:04
Speaker 7: Homer the other night, you can tell he's like, Man,
26:07
Speaker 7: I just had that cool drop. I just did the
26:09
Speaker 7: cool batflip. You really had to go catch that one.
26:11
Speaker 7: Who exactly are you?
26:12
Speaker 4: Kids?
26:12
Speaker 3: There are times have to do I remember some brewers.
26:14
Speaker 3: There are times when it's either been a close call
26:16
Speaker 3: or like you think it's out and it ends up
26:18
Speaker 3: being a warning track jobb or like a full Willie
26:21
Speaker 3: Hayes and in a League two. But those can be
26:23
Speaker 3: a little embarrassing come up in some moments, that's for sure.
26:27

Speaker 7: and all of a sudden that sleep age kicks in
26:56

31:12
Speaker 2: eight o'clock. I was out there still shoveling around my
31:15
Speaker 2: uh e grass windows because it's.
31:17
Speaker 4: Gonna be forty on Thursday, which means it's all gonna melt. Yeah,
31:20
Speaker 4: which means if I didn't shovel it, it's all gonna
31:23
Speaker 4: end up in my basement.
31:24
Speaker 3: No, it was a good point.
31:26
Speaker 4: We're shoveling around the windows a.
31:27
Speaker 3: Little bit, and who's gonna who's gonna enjoy that phone call?
31:30
Speaker 7: Right right as you're about to get right at halftime,
31:33
Speaker 7: all of a sudden, Brian's phone is just buzzing off
31:35
Speaker 7: the hook.
31:35
Speaker 3: Uh you know what you left us with. We're flooded.
31:37
Speaker 3: We're flooded. But you yeah, yeah, Blake, I love the snow.

31:47
Speaker 4: fort building, boys, good fort building. I'll give you that. Well, hopefully,
31:50
Speaker 4: hopefully you enough have to build out some good forts.
31:52
Speaker 7: And hopefully you did better than Armin and I on
31:54
Speaker 7: the on the Snowman yesterday we talked about that both
31:57
Speaker 7: of us absolutely sucked like a shot back doing it.
31:59
Speaker 4: Now good enough, package Stone not good enough. It was
32:02
Speaker 4: Prouve come fast.
32:04
Speaker 7: It was brutal, and we were very, very disappointed with
32:06
Speaker 7: our efforts when we were talking on Sunday night and
32:10
Speaker 7: everybody was able to hear you on Butch He's Den
32:13
Speaker 7: and your your bracket release pod and live that you
32:17
Speaker 7: did on Sunday, Did you know that you were gonna
32:19
Speaker 7: be able to chop it up with Nolan Winter and
32:21
Speaker 7: get some good news. It sounds like the Big Man
32:24
Speaker 7: is a full go after you guys conversation yesterday.
32:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did kind of know, but I'm glad that
32:30
Speaker 2: he was able to tell it on on Budgets that
32:32
Speaker 2: it was fun. You guys know this sometimes like it's
32:36
Speaker 2: a reality of it.
32:37
Speaker 4: But I have a little bit better access than some
32:39
Speaker 4: so I just say I need no one today, like now,
32:42
Speaker 4: we need to make sure we get him on.
32:44
Speaker 2: So it was good, but it sounds like he's doing
32:47
Speaker 2: well still. I don't know what Thursday looks like for
32:50
Speaker 2: sure with him being back on the floor. And I
32:52
Speaker 2: guess the biggest thing, as we know in the media,
32:55
Speaker 2: anytime he's opened up to availability to talk, that means
32:58
Speaker 2: he's probably trending in the right direction.
33:01
Speaker 6: How about Jack JANICKI, is he under the radar getting
33:03
Speaker 6: ready to contribute in these next week or so?
33:06
Speaker 4: Well? I think he is too.
33:08
Speaker 2: I think that's the biggest thing is these guys are
33:09
Speaker 2: getting healthy. That was always the timeline to see if
33:13
Speaker 2: Jack possibly could be ready to go by the NCAA tournament.
33:17
Speaker 2: And now he is, and and you know, it sounds
33:20
Speaker 2: like he's tracking that at least in the right direction.
33:22
Speaker 4: How much of his games been shipped versus how much
33:25
Speaker 4: is he healthy.
33:26
Speaker 2: We'll find that out as we go. But welcome to
33:29
Speaker 2: March boys. Everybody's ready to play, even if they're not.
33:32
Speaker 2: You're gonna see that with that SMU team as BJ
33:35
Speaker 2: Edwards is healthy to play or at least he'll be available,
33:38
Speaker 2: as they were one of the first four teams that
33:40
Speaker 2: are last four.
33:41
Speaker 4: In no wonder they put that release out. He's gonna play,
33:44
Speaker 4: We'll see. But just another example of the gamesmanship of
33:47
Speaker 4: March now.
33:48
Speaker 7: Butchi I did similar with that in the Edwards deal.
33:52
Speaker 7: Now their seating process. I don't know that it was
33:54
Speaker 7: similar with the Florida State deal a couple of years ago,
33:56
Speaker 7: Like if your best players out, hey man, you're you're
33:58
Speaker 7: not the same team for this team with Winter healthy,
34:03
Speaker 7: is he the biggest X factor that you could have
34:05
Speaker 7: going in here? Because the law firm backhourn of Boyd
34:09
Speaker 7: and Blackwell, seems like everybody knows what that's gonna be.
34:12
Speaker 7: And I'm very excited if they get the Acuff matchup
34:15
Speaker 7: in the second round because anybody that doubts that group,
34:17
Speaker 7: it feels like they're in for something. But is Winter
34:21
Speaker 7: almost a bigger get into game one with the size
34:24
Speaker 7: advantage that they would have.
34:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say in the game one.
34:28
Speaker 2: Now the bigs in Austin Raff and Alexis Blouse because
34:30
Speaker 2: have they've been phenomenal, don't get me wrong, But Nolan
34:34
Speaker 2: just is a little bit more of a calmer guy
34:37
Speaker 2: and he's been through the battles.
34:38
Speaker 4: I think that's the biggest thing.
34:39
Speaker 2: This will be Nolan's third, you know, and caa tournament,
34:42
Speaker 2: those guys that will be there first sometimes. Now, both
34:46
Speaker 2: those guys, when the lights have been bright, they have
34:50
Speaker 2: shined as well, and I think that's the unique thing
34:52
Speaker 2: about those two. But these lights are a little bit brighter,
34:56
Speaker 2: These lights are a little bit bigger. These lights are
35:00
Speaker 2: are where all the eyeballs.
35:01
Speaker 4: Go, and uh so it'll be it'll be interesting. But
35:05
Speaker 4: having no them back with the experience is going to
35:07
Speaker 4: be a good thing.
35:08
Speaker 6: Brian Butch joining us here on the huddle lone from
35:10
Speaker 6: the Highways as he's driving from Appleton to Madison get
35:13
Speaker 6: ready to fly to Portland with the Badgers for the
35:15
Speaker 6: NCAA tournament. Butcher did the weekend in uh at the
35:19
Speaker 6: at the Big Ten Tournament. It seemed to be laid
35:21
Speaker 6: out perfectly that the bat Batters didn't have to play
35:24
Speaker 6: a Sunday game. They got tested, they won a couple
35:27
Speaker 6: of you know, tight ones, they played a tight one,
35:30
Speaker 6: and they're in their exit.
35:31
Speaker 3: It seemed like that laid out perfectly. What did you
35:33
Speaker 3: think as you watched it unfold?
35:36
Speaker 4: I think for Legs it does piles of thing.
35:38
Speaker 2: It adds a little bit of motivation to what they're
35:40
Speaker 2: trying to do. I think if you were ask any
35:43
Speaker 2: of those guys, hey, we got to Saturday already, what
35:45
Speaker 2: would have been another game like we've we wanted to
35:49
Speaker 2: go win that thing. I guess probably a tougher pill
35:51
Speaker 2: to swallow, saying per new win as well, since you
35:54
Speaker 2: just beat them, you know, a week ago. Uh.
35:57
Speaker 4: But I also think as far as legs round mentality,
36:02
Speaker 4: I think it was good.
36:03
Speaker 2: I do. Now that's the media in me talking as
36:07
Speaker 2: a player. I would have said, no, we lost, what
36:09
Speaker 2: are you talking about? That's terrible, But as I sit
36:12
Speaker 2: back and look at what it does for their legs
36:14
Speaker 2: and just in general, Yeah, Drew, I do think it
36:17
Speaker 2: played out pretty.
36:17
Speaker 4: Well for him.
36:18
Speaker 3: But what else you see when you watch tape of
36:21
Speaker 3: High Point? Obviously a lot of Badgers fans haven't seen
36:24
Speaker 3: a team like this much this year. Yeah, we know
36:26
Speaker 3: they won a lot of games, you know in their conference.
36:29
Speaker 3: We know, you know, Chase Johnson jacks up a lot
36:31
Speaker 3: of threes. But what else do you see that fans
36:34
Speaker 3: what we expect to see. I noticed their top five
36:36
Speaker 3: and turnover percentage. They protect the ball as well. What
36:39
Speaker 3: do you think fans should expect?
36:42
Speaker 4: I like how you dropped that Ken pond nugget, Ken
36:44
Speaker 4: pom nugget in there? You know me, God, Jim Omock,
36:47
Speaker 4: I know, I know.
36:49
Speaker 2: Uh no transition transition transition team that wants to play fast,
36:53
Speaker 2: get up and down, not atleite defensively, ken Wisconsin's go
36:56
Speaker 2: out for them.
36:57
Speaker 4: Absolutely. This might be one of those where it is
36:59
Speaker 4: good that High Points really good.
37:02
Speaker 2: The other situation at quad as i'll call it, with
37:06
Speaker 2: Arkansas and Hawaii, Hawaii is really good too. As much
37:09
Speaker 2: as the help people want to see Wisconsin Arkansas, both
37:11
Speaker 2: Arkansas I and Wisconsin need to take care of business.
37:13
Speaker 4: Against two really good mid major teams.
37:16
Speaker 2: In Hawaii high Point, but high Points and team the
37:19
Speaker 2: not again not pig, not elite defensively, but they are
37:23
Speaker 2: league offensively.
37:24
Speaker 4: They're gonna make sure they get out and run and
37:25
Speaker 4: they take care of the ball, and you know they
37:28
Speaker 4: play that kind of style.
37:30
Speaker 2: So Wisconsin defensively needs to be locked in. The biggest
37:33
Speaker 2: thing that I look at guys more than anything is
37:35
Speaker 2: this is I think you can't allow High Point the
37:38
Speaker 2: confidence early in the game. As much as we can
37:40
Speaker 2: look at the numbers, as much as we can evaluate
37:43
Speaker 2: all that stuff, what does a team like High Point needs.
37:46
Speaker 2: They need confidence against the high Major. If you let
37:49
Speaker 2: them get going on the offensive end early, you're gonna
37:53
Speaker 2: have your hands full because this team is confident. They
37:55
Speaker 2: got the nation's longest winning streak and fourteen game like.
37:58
Speaker 2: So what they're doing as they're playing with great confidence,
38:02
Speaker 2: you gotta take it away. If you get a couple
38:04
Speaker 2: of strain together stops, get out to an eight ol' run,
38:07
Speaker 2: you know, start this game off. Well, all of a
38:10
Speaker 2: sudden they're doubting if they can get this thing done.
38:14
Speaker 7: But you mentioned the Rainbow Warriors in Hawaii. I just
38:17
Speaker 7: realized that it's gonna the coach that you and I
38:19
Speaker 7: talked to at the Final four. My man was about
38:21
Speaker 7: as laid back as anybody possibly could be. Makes sense
38:24
Speaker 7: that he's the coach at Hawaii. But you're hitting on
38:27
Speaker 7: some of these mid major teams. Are Is there actually
38:31
Speaker 7: the separation between the five and twelves, four and thirteens?
38:35
Speaker 7: Is it as big as people are starting to make
38:37
Speaker 7: it that that it's only widening the gap? Or do
38:40
Speaker 7: you think we are still gonna see a little bit
38:41
Speaker 7: of chaos coming up on Thursday and Friday?
38:45
Speaker 4: Can I answer that on Sunday? You know, He's here's
38:50
Speaker 4: the thing. I don't think it's.
38:52
Speaker 2: As big as gap. However, we might have two years
38:55
Speaker 2: in a row with not a lot of sets because
39:00
Speaker 2: there were a lot Billy. We talked about this on
39:02
Speaker 2: Butcher's then, But there was a lot, a lot of
39:07
Speaker 2: upsets in the main major conference championship games, and I
39:10
Speaker 2: thought some of those teams were capable of getting wins.
39:14
Speaker 2: The teams that ended up winning the conference, I don't
39:17
Speaker 2: know are conference tournaments. I don't know if they're able
39:20
Speaker 2: to go get a couple of those wins. And that's
39:22
Speaker 2: that's the scary part for me as far as that,
39:25
Speaker 2: because I hate the narrative of the little guy is gone.
39:28
Speaker 2: Like I just I just don't like that narrative. I
39:32
Speaker 2: think you'll still have upsets anything as possible, But I
39:36
Speaker 2: don't like, I said, the narrative of that.
39:38
Speaker 4: I'm just not a big fan of it. But it
39:40
Speaker 4: might be true this.
39:40
Speaker 6: YouTube is Duke the most vulnerable of the top krem
39:44
Speaker 6: de la Creme teams because of their injuries?
39:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I would say Drew.
39:51
Speaker 2: I would say Florida first, just because they're back their
39:54
Speaker 2: their their point guard play has been up and down.
39:57
Speaker 4: Now when it's when they've been good, they've.
39:58
Speaker 2: Been really good. Then I would say Duke. Then I
40:03
Speaker 2: would say Michigan, and I look at Arizona's probably being
40:06
Speaker 2: the least vulnerable of the four to one seats just
40:09
Speaker 2: because Duke and l J case and and what he's
40:12
Speaker 2: his ideas with or his being out for the year
40:14
Speaker 2: with the A C. L. You got the Duke point guard.
40:18
Speaker 4: He's out. So there's there's injuries that have hit those
40:21
Speaker 4: two teams that are horrible.
40:24
Speaker 2: I might know something about being hurt going into March madness,
40:27
Speaker 2: like not for any team, you know, right, like like
40:31
Speaker 2: nothing nothing good comes of that because you're changing rotations,
40:35
Speaker 2: you're changing roles, all those things are in place. So
40:39
Speaker 2: I just I just think that's the way I see
40:41
Speaker 2: the four one seats being kind of the weak areas.
40:46
Speaker 3: But what's the what?
40:47
Speaker 2: What?
40:47
Speaker 3: What are we grabbing? Is it Chick fil A on
40:49
Speaker 3: the flight out? That's always what we what? What do
40:53
Speaker 3: we got on the What do we got on the
40:55
Speaker 3: plane plane flight out? For the for the food? Here
40:57
Speaker 3: are you gonna have to You're gonna have to stop
40:58
Speaker 3: and grab something in that Middleton for it?
41:01
Speaker 4: You know what?
41:02
Speaker 2: That is a great question. I haven't even looked at
41:05
Speaker 2: the TeamWorks. I'm hoping that everything's go on.
41:07
Speaker 4: I'm I'm not kidding. I'm still driving driving on these roads.
41:12
Speaker 2: We're a solid twenty four hours after this massive blizzards.
