0:01
Speaker 1: NBA Finals, World Cup, Brewers, Phillies, Cooper Pratt, all kinds
0:05
Speaker 1: of good stuff. The miss adding to his legacy with
0:08
Speaker 1: an unbelievable game on Friday Night, one of the best
0:12
Speaker 1: most have seen. Top five non no hitter performance of
0:15
Speaker 1: all time right up there.
0:17
Speaker 2: And also being able to utilize the term Maddox and
0:22
Speaker 2: let a new group of baseball fans in on that.
0:25
Speaker 2: I had a lot of fun with. I'll be honest,
0:27
Speaker 2: hand raised in air. I didn't catch it right away.
0:29
Speaker 2: Obviously I understood what it was. I didn't know Greg
0:32
Speaker 2: Maddox had thrown so many of those that they just coined.
0:35
Speaker 3: The phrase after him, Maddox.
0:36
Speaker 2: Well, I had that is one of the that's one
0:38
Speaker 2: of the pure ones to be able to drop everybody
0:41
Speaker 2: was firing it in and the dominance in which he
0:44
Speaker 2: went about it, the smile that he had on his face.
0:47
Speaker 2: After the great shot of Garrett Mitchell cleaning off the
0:51
Speaker 2: cups of the Gatorade tubs, ture, you're probably finishing up
0:53
Speaker 2: here your final filings, as Mitchell looks over in the
0:56
Speaker 2: Brewer TV camera there and the dugout catches him in
0:58
Speaker 2: the achios. Oh yeah, yeah, let's you know, what's about
1:02
Speaker 2: to be happening. Sophia couldn't have a quick enough feat
1:05
Speaker 2: to get out of there, but I don't think she
1:06
Speaker 2: minded after a performance like that.
1:08
Speaker 3: That's right now. There's some debate.
1:10
Speaker 1: Was this better than Carrie Wood's twenty strikeout game, which
1:14
Speaker 1: came back in nineteen ninety eight.
1:17
Speaker 3: He was twenty years old at the time, so that
1:19
Speaker 3: was a phenomenon. That was the big thing. He matched
1:21
Speaker 3: his age was struck that was the thing.
1:22
Speaker 1: And it was his fifth career start, so a little
1:25
Speaker 1: bit of a Brandon Jennings element to it.
1:26
Speaker 4: Well, A great thing is this is going to be
1:28
Speaker 4: one that like another knockdown, drag out for Cubs fans
1:31
Speaker 4: and Brewers fans.
1:32
Speaker 3: That is a good though.
1:33
Speaker 1: Yes, the hit that he gave up was an infield hit,
1:35
Speaker 1: kind of a borderline play, and he did hit a batter,
1:38
Speaker 1: didn't walk anybody. He threw one hundred and twenty two
1:40
Speaker 1: pitches that day, which is, you know, again, pretty pretty dominant.
1:46
Speaker 1: He was also facing future Hall of famers Craig Vigio
1:50
Speaker 1: and Jeff Bagwell, each of whom struck out three times.
1:53
Speaker 1: Derek Bell struck out four times, so he faced thirty
1:56
Speaker 1: batters over nine innings, so three more than the minimum
1:59
Speaker 1: where his miz faced twenty seven. And you know, there's
2:02
Speaker 1: some pretty good Hall of famers in the lineup there
2:05
Speaker 1: that in that lineup too, Yes, and Derek Bell, I
2:07
Speaker 1: mean not Derek Bell.
2:08
Speaker 3: The Bryce Harper is definitely like up there.
2:11
Speaker 2: He's yeah, he's in and like you can look up
2:13
Speaker 2: Trey Turner has had some phenomenal years and yeah, title
2:16
Speaker 2: at some point like that. And Drew, I'm glad you
2:18
Speaker 2: mentioned that because I do think it matters who you're
2:20
Speaker 2: doing it against.
2:22
Speaker 3: This isn't you know.
2:23
Speaker 2: The back end of a September lineup with forty man
2:26
Speaker 2: call ups all.
2:27
Speaker 3: Over the place that you're doing this against. This is
2:30
Speaker 3: against one of the coming into the game.
2:32
Speaker 2: It was the two hottest teams in the league since
2:34
Speaker 2: they had fired Rob Thompson. The Phillies had the same
2:38
Speaker 2: record as the Brewers in the time frame, and they
2:39
Speaker 2: were the best two teams in the sport. And to
2:42
Speaker 2: be able to do it in the efficiency was rather
2:46
Speaker 2: unheard of. I thought of just a couple of things
2:49
Speaker 2: miss is done because that being the day of his one,
2:52
Speaker 2: you know, one year anniversary, three hundred and sixty five
2:54
Speaker 2: days as a big leaguer. He started his career with
2:58
Speaker 2: across two starts, elevensecutive no hit innings. Right, he had
3:02
Speaker 2: a no hitter in the first five innings on his debut.
3:05
Speaker 2: Goes into Minnesota and was perfect, I believe, through the
3:08
Speaker 2: first six innings until he hit a man and gave
3:10
Speaker 2: up a homer, struck out twelve in a victory against
3:12
Speaker 2: the LA Dodgers, then tossed a scoreless inning in the
3:15
Speaker 2: All Star Game. After five starts. Fast forward, you know
3:18
Speaker 2: a couple of months, gets the win in a winner
3:22
Speaker 2: take all Game five against your most hated rival in
3:24
Speaker 2: the Chicago Cubs, and then throws a also missed in
3:29
Speaker 2: there opening day starter in there as well, on top
3:33
Speaker 2: of throwing a complete game shot out of ninety five
3:35
Speaker 2: pitches and striking out fifteen Phillies. That just a couple
3:39
Speaker 2: of the highlights of the first year.
3:41
Speaker 3: Of the MISZ. How about that? Huh?
3:43
Speaker 2: Incredible stuff? Just amazing that you start wondering. And I
3:48
Speaker 2: texted our boy with the franchise because he had had
3:50
Speaker 2: this long running deal of you have great players, you
3:54
Speaker 2: have guys that come up and run through the league,
3:56
Speaker 2: and like Ryan Brown is probably the closest thing to
4:00
Speaker 2: up and immediately is at borderline a really good player
4:04
Speaker 2: in major like I believe when's the When's the rookie
4:08
Speaker 2: of the Year, but game in as a real ball player,
4:11
Speaker 2: not necessarily a superstar. I mean, miss, You've now finally
4:15
Speaker 2: got your Juan Soto version of somebody that's walked in
4:18
Speaker 2: and immediately is one of the best players in the game.
4:20
Speaker 2: There's only a few that come up and right now
4:23
Speaker 2: he's playing for your team, which is crazy thing you
4:25
Speaker 2: think of.
4:26
Speaker 4: Billy no is one of my favorite pastimes so much
4:28
Speaker 4: of my I chould grin in frustration. I was ready
4:30
Speaker 4: to do this, but I couldn't, obviously, because I couldn't
4:32
Speaker 4: get into my Twitter. One of my favorite pastimes is
4:34
Speaker 4: to try and rattle the cage of Chicago fans. Now
4:36
Speaker 4: to your point, Drew, this was was also kind of
4:40
Speaker 4: swimming around in my mind this game and the carry
4:42
Speaker 4: Wood game. And I know people are going to say
4:44
Speaker 4: carry Wood's game is more impressive because to the total
4:47
Speaker 4: strikeout numbers, the cunning stats he had twenty But there's
4:50
Speaker 4: one main difference in this game for miz that car
4:53
Speaker 4: than carry Wood's game. One main difference in baseball, and
4:56
Speaker 4: that's the existence now the ABS challenge. And if you
4:58
Speaker 4: go back and look as impressive as he was, and
5:01
Speaker 4: he was, carry Wood's kurve ball was filthy, nasty all
5:04
Speaker 4: the way through the ninth carry Wood did benefit that
5:07
Speaker 4: day from a uniquely incredibly big strike zone from Jerry Meals.
5:10
Speaker 3: Jerry Meals was.
5:11
Speaker 4: Giving him all kind because Jerry Meals might have had
5:14
Speaker 4: a meal to get to.
5:15
Speaker 3: He might have had a reservation for Jerry Meals if
5:18
Speaker 3: you don't call me late for my meals.
5:20
Speaker 4: Uh. The umpire it yeah, I know, right, But the
5:25
Speaker 4: thing is he had a really large strikes on that
5:27
Speaker 4: day and we don't know how if you go back
5:29
Speaker 4: in time and those get abs challenged, how things might
5:32
Speaker 4: have changed if, if the if the umpire was what
5:36
Speaker 4: Billy held accountables that strike zone. Mis doesn't have that
5:40
Speaker 4: luxury anymore, and I think because of that things have
5:42
Speaker 4: tightened up in general with umpires.
5:44
Speaker 3: So look, this is not to rip on carry what
5:47
Speaker 3: obviously it was.
5:48
Speaker 2: No, don't back down, don't back down, Missus was way
5:54
Speaker 2: better than.
5:54
Speaker 4: Carry in a rather overrated career. That was a big
5:57
Speaker 4: highland for carry Wood. I would say, if you actually
5:59
Speaker 4: look back. I can look, it was kind of an
6:00
Speaker 4: overrated career, but this because of injury. We're not going
6:03
Speaker 4: to totally blame him for it.
6:04
Speaker 3: Now.
6:04
Speaker 4: It was a great game. It was an incredible performance
6:06
Speaker 4: by Wood. His ball was moving. You go back and look,
6:10
Speaker 4: you're like wow, But you go back and watch that game,
6:12
Speaker 4: and I've watched some cutups. The strike zone was just
6:15
Speaker 4: super super big and did not have that. So that's
6:18
Speaker 4: what makes this one more impressive than carry Wood's game.
6:21
Speaker 3: A couple of things about that too.
6:22
Speaker 1: Jerry Meals was in his first year as a Major
6:24
Speaker 1: League Empire that year with the game, and the first
6:27
Speaker 1: pitch of the game went back and hit him in
6:28
Speaker 1: the mask.
6:29
Speaker 3: He wasn't even he was maybe that's the reason he
6:33
Speaker 3: wasn't injured, but he got smoked in the first pitch
6:36
Speaker 3: of the game. He saw multiple strike zones. There you go,
6:39
Speaker 3: all right, we got to play the Sounders.
6:41
Speaker 2: So I can give arm in a game ball for that,
6:42
Speaker 2: and a kick to the balls for your hacker for
6:45
Speaker 2: not allowing us to have that earlier on sure and
6:48
Speaker 2: not have Cubs Twitter and Michael Bush lover six four
6:52
Speaker 2: eight nine six be able to go right back at you.
6:54
Speaker 3: We need to. We need to start this thing up right.
6:56
Speaker 1: At least they haven't tweeted. Plenty of fresh power for
7:00
Speaker 1: game balls and kicks. You know how it works. If
7:01
Speaker 1: you've got a game ball to give, you present it
7:03
Speaker 1: to somebody who's done a great job in some venue
7:06
Speaker 1: with some arena, not necessarily just sports, because we do
7:10
Speaker 1: other things as well. I mean, I'd give myself a
7:12
Speaker 1: game ball for the Blackstone breakfast I prepared yesterday.
7:15
Speaker 3: But just saying game.
7:16
Speaker 1: Balls for a job all done today in the program,
7:18
Speaker 1: sound like this Perk has left the building, like Perkins.
7:25
Speaker 3: Give me it to Miz, but this is going to
7:27
Speaker 3: be Perks. I'll give it to Perks now.
7:30
Speaker 1: Conversely, if you want to give a kick to the
7:32
Speaker 1: huevos to somebody to get them focused, to make them
7:34
Speaker 1: see the error of their ways, get the amount of
7:37
Speaker 1: performance improvement plan, a kick to the balls today on
7:39
Speaker 1: the huddle?
7:40
Speaker 3: Is this.
7:45
Speaker 1: Charles, he was so excited party them some ds those
7:49
Speaker 1: might be I thought about that one too. Yeah, So
7:53
Speaker 1: anytime you can get chuck on there. So game balls
7:55
Speaker 1: and kicks to the balls get us off and running.
7:57
Speaker 1: Like we said, plenty of fresh powder, and I'll start
8:00
Speaker 1: with one because Armann just opened.
8:02
Speaker 3: The door and you invite abuse.
8:05
Speaker 1: And when you have access to your Twitter account, your
8:08
Speaker 1: X account, you like to engage our friends south of
8:12
Speaker 1: the borders getting it. But I'm going to give a
8:15
Speaker 1: game ball to friend of the program Lenn Casper and
8:18
Speaker 1: the team he called whit White Sox. The White Sox
8:23
Speaker 1: are rolling. They took it to the Dodgers over the weekend.
8:26
Speaker 1: They had a sellout crowd at Rate Field. They have
8:29
Speaker 1: They're starting to be a thing. It's like, who expected this?
8:32
Speaker 1: They came in much like the Brewers getting stomped in
8:36
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium a year ago to open the season. The
8:39
Speaker 1: White Sox came to AMFAM to open the season. Looked
8:43
Speaker 1: like a JV team. I caught a couple of right
8:45
Speaker 1: hooks they did, but they did. And I remember talking
8:48
Speaker 1: to Lennon Darren Jacks because they had a miserable summer
8:51
Speaker 1: last year. They were like, hey, this team, I said,
8:54
Speaker 1: you guys see improvement. They said, oh, yeah, absolutely, this
8:56
Speaker 1: team will be better, you know, And then then they
8:59
Speaker 1: did know about for sure contending. But I mean, what's
9:04
Speaker 1: their record right now?
9:05
Speaker 3: Thirty eight and thirty two.
9:06
Speaker 2: They're tied for the league the Al Central lead against
9:09
Speaker 2: the Guardians who come into American Family Family coming.
9:11
Speaker 1: Up on thirty eight and thirty two. They didn't win
9:13
Speaker 1: their thirty eighth game last year till what mid September.
9:16
Speaker 2: Close to dude, and like they also feel like they
9:20
Speaker 2: might be just a step above the uh oh, this
9:23
Speaker 2: is cute for a while, guys. Yeah, they feel like,
9:26
Speaker 2: especially with now being able to continue winning some games
9:29
Speaker 2: after more comedy's gone out, feels like they could have
9:32
Speaker 2: a real shot at.
9:33
Speaker 1: This thing to be able to roll through right the whole.
9:35
Speaker 1: And their offense has been, you know, quite productive. They
9:38
Speaker 1: got a couple of guys stepping up. Who goes to
9:40
Speaker 1: the White Sox all right, So the shirts are off,
9:42
Speaker 1: the the seal has been broken. Give us your game,
9:44
Speaker 1: balls and kicks to the balls, JT and Sussex.
9:47
Speaker 3: I'm on JC Fireman comball.
9:49
Speaker 1: The US soccer men's national team for a strong first
9:51
Speaker 1: match in the World Cup and not bowing down to
9:52
Speaker 1: the pressure of being the host country.
9:57
Speaker 2: That sure, I was gonna say, I don't know what
9:59
Speaker 2: Chenelin left. There was a pressure cooker that Paraguay was
10:02
Speaker 2: walking into. I mean that place was a ornet's nest
10:05
Speaker 2: on Friday night, and you sure hope the same thing
10:08
Speaker 2: can be the case when they go to Seattle.
10:10
Speaker 1: They came out hard in the second half. They gave
10:12
Speaker 1: them like their blitz. Everybody does you get that one flurry?
10:15
Speaker 3: Right? And then the US handle.
10:17
Speaker 2: It and good night. And I don't know enough of
10:20
Speaker 2: the attacks and counter attacks. All I know is when
10:23
Speaker 2: the ball is on one side of the one half
10:25
Speaker 2: of the field for the majority of the game, that's
10:27
Speaker 2: probably going to bode well. It felt like the ball
10:30
Speaker 2: was continually in.
10:31
Speaker 3: The US zone. They were dominant.
10:33
Speaker 2: It was pretty impressive, so good that they pulled Polistic
10:36
Speaker 2: out at some point like, yeah, you're fine, you didn't score,
10:38
Speaker 2: get in a lot of people's part lays, but don't
10:40
Speaker 2: worry about it.
10:40
Speaker 3: Get a blow. We don't need you in there.
10:42
Speaker 4: And for a team, I hate to say it, like
10:44
Speaker 4: they've been underwhelming us my whole life. I mean, really,
10:47
Speaker 4: the US immense soccer team. What a start this was,
10:50
Speaker 4: And all right, let's build on this now, right, that's
10:53
Speaker 4: kind of the way I look. Let's build on this thing. Now,
10:55
Speaker 4: Let's get another win, let's get our points, let's get
10:57
Speaker 4: through the group stage and start to dream, because that's
10:59
Speaker 4: what they gave us a the drag, which I love.
11:01
Speaker 1: So I mentioned the White Sox. They're now twenty and
11:03
Speaker 1: four in their last two dozen home games. Whoa well,
11:08
Speaker 1: you know, and they had a staggering number. And they
11:10
Speaker 1: had a homestand against the Dodgers and Braves and went
11:13
Speaker 1: four and one.
11:13
Speaker 4: When you talk about, you know, the Chicago baseball home crowds,
11:17
Speaker 4: you always think of gart Do.
11:18
Speaker 3: You think of rat Field?
11:20
Speaker 4: Yeah?
11:20
Speaker 3: So you got to drive on on the south side.
11:22
Speaker 2: There are a couple of random neighborhoods that you definitely
11:24
Speaker 2: don't want to stop at very long, a couple of
11:27
Speaker 2: spots that might be good little corner bars, and then
11:29
Speaker 2: roll up.
11:29
Speaker 3: Into the stadium. Those kids down in Orland Park are
11:32
Speaker 3: loving this. There's no there. The South Side gets you know,
11:35
Speaker 3: pooped on all the time.
11:36
Speaker 2: This will be a good test for the for the
11:38
Speaker 2: folks though that when you get into or got into Arman, Yeah,
11:42
Speaker 2: knock out, drag out, packer bear discussions. And then when
11:45
Speaker 2: you brought up Game five, you're like, dude, it doesn't matter.
11:48
Speaker 2: I'm a Socks fan, and the Socks fan anyway, so
11:49
Speaker 2: what a Sox fan anyway, It doesn't really matter.
11:51
Speaker 3: I'm really okay, true.
11:53
Speaker 4: My grandparents were growing up on the South Side, so
11:55
Speaker 4: I'm more of a socks guy. So and the thing
11:57
Speaker 4: is with the White Sox, they're doing it with guys
11:59
Speaker 4: you just don't at least even if you play.
12:01
Speaker 3: We're all really young players.
12:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, haven't heard of Yeah, the law firm of Colson Montgomery,
12:05
Speaker 4: Sam Atanacchi and Chase my Drath.
12:07
Speaker 3: So I hope I'm pronouncing that right. I think is
12:10
Speaker 3: gonna sell any jerseys down there. I think he might
12:12
Speaker 3: sell a couple.
12:12
Speaker 2: Holy cow, sitting over at Bueo's having a couple of
12:15
Speaker 2: beef sandwiches. Oh my goodness, Sammy's hitting today, Because that's
12:19
Speaker 2: Samy's hitting for you.
12:20
Speaker 3: Ask Sammy Batts.
12:21
Speaker 4: That's what the old school guys are. We're down on
12:23
Speaker 4: the South Side there, so you know. So it's pretty funny.
12:26
Speaker 4: So how about that's what you love about sports?
12:28
Speaker 3: You never know?
12:29
Speaker 2: Obvious game ball to Jacob Mezerowski. But what about a
12:32
Speaker 2: game ball to William Contreras for Friday? Uh, in the
12:37
Speaker 2: midst of the dominating performance. Now, maybe this should have
12:40
Speaker 2: been a kick to the balls, but William Contreras right
12:42
Speaker 2: away taps the chest. I think he was zero for
12:44
Speaker 2: two on challenges because Drew is like, this guy's not
12:47
Speaker 2: missing the zone. I might as well fire him out
12:50
Speaker 2: at some point. He got so disappointed when he lost,
12:53
Speaker 2: he's tabbing his chest saying, hey man, I'm sorry. I
12:55
Speaker 2: shouldn't have broken the moat. I shouldn't have broken the rhythm,
12:57
Speaker 2: shouldn't have done anything. However, he is as consistent as anything,
13:01
Speaker 2: and his uh, his quote after the game was sublime.
13:05
Speaker 2: And this guy is just not any ordinary pitcher. That's
13:08
Speaker 2: not a normal pitcher. He could complete an entire game
13:11
Speaker 2: on just fastballs, and he's throwing him that that hard
13:13
Speaker 2: and with that much late life to him, a late
13:17
Speaker 2: life at one hundred and throw it sounds dangerous. I'm
13:19
Speaker 2: not I'm not saying he probably couldn't. Like if he
13:23
Speaker 2: if he went into a game during through eighty percent fastballs,
13:26
Speaker 2: I'd still feel confident and he's gonna figure it out.
13:29
Speaker 3: Miss.
13:29
Speaker 1: We talk about him must see TV and we're not
13:32
Speaker 1: kidding because any night he could throw a no hitter
13:35
Speaker 1: and any in and could be an immaculate inning with
13:37
Speaker 1: nine pitches and nice dress.
13:38
Speaker 3: So you just have to watch him right right now.
13:41
Speaker 1: You have to It's like that's why you know the
13:45
Speaker 1: National dudes and the guys on MLB Network and the
13:48
Speaker 1: Passings of the World and Buster only, they're tuned in
13:51
Speaker 1: every time misspitching they can't get they're glued to it,
13:54
Speaker 1: like injected straight into my veins.
13:56
Speaker 3: Jason Stark gets a column out of it, you know, out.
13:58
Speaker 1: Of him and uh, the Philly Sanchez going on, and
14:02
Speaker 1: I mean he was what one pitch away almost from
14:05
Speaker 1: a from the immaculate inning on Tuesday and the second
14:07
Speaker 1: inning he was on an O two count and Balm
14:11
Speaker 1: just was able to knock it over to short and
14:13
Speaker 1: got retired.
14:14
Speaker 2: But otherwise there was nine strikes and he was one
14:17
Speaker 2: pitch away. If that ball misses the bat, he would
14:19
Speaker 2: have had one. Like it's it's a wild thought to
14:22
Speaker 2: think that whenever he is on the mound, you can't
14:24
Speaker 2: step away, and you don't want to get a beer
14:27
Speaker 2: when you're at the game. And you probably saw this
14:29
Speaker 2: a lot, Drew Is there were more folks waiting until
14:32
Speaker 2: the Brewers were hitting to go to the bathroom.
14:34
Speaker 3: That's right.
14:34
Speaker 2: A lot of times, once Miz gets off the mound,
14:37
Speaker 2: I'll go and I'll go to the pretzel and the
14:39
Speaker 2: hot dog for the kid. All right, it's the opposite,
14:42
Speaker 2: generally speaking. I had to watch Joey rt strike out
14:44
Speaker 2: at the basis loaded before that happens. Unfair straight to
14:47
Speaker 2: Joey Rtisy. Now, let's give a game ball to Cooper Prat. Yes, Yes,
14:53
Speaker 2: and a subsequent game ball to our texter that we
14:56
Speaker 2: just had in Jane Bayview, who asked, where do you
14:58
Speaker 2: guys think Cooper Pratt is gonna to be in the
15:00
Speaker 2: patting order.
15:04
Speaker 3: He'll be somewhere near the bottom. I would assume in
15:07
Speaker 3: the eight or nine hole.
15:08
Speaker 2: But Drew, the more important thing is I anticipate he's
15:11
Speaker 2: gonna be in the order most days, right, like they're
15:14
Speaker 2: not making them and you're not bringing him up here
15:16
Speaker 2: to let him be Blake Perkins of the infield.
15:19
Speaker 3: You didn't call him up to sit. That was the idea.
15:21
Speaker 3: It is like he's gonna play.
15:22
Speaker 1: So my guess is Rehn, he fo gets squeezed and
15:25
Speaker 1: Ortiz moves back to third, where he was productive the
15:27
Speaker 1: first year in Milwaukee.
15:28
Speaker 2: If you thought he was good defensively, over at shortstop,
15:31
Speaker 2: he should be very very good.
15:32
Speaker 3: Kid was gonna play and he's the shortstop of the future.
15:35
Speaker 3: They gave him.
15:35
Speaker 1: There's eighty million reasons to believe they wanted to play short. Now,
15:38
Speaker 1: could Cooper Pratt move over to third? Yeah, but he's
15:39
Speaker 1: been playing short, so I think that's the move. He's
15:42
Speaker 1: going to be the shortstop.
15:43
Speaker 4: Yeah.
15:43
Speaker 2: It feels like if they were going to Drew do
15:46
Speaker 2: what you just mentioned and have him play third base,
15:48
Speaker 2: you would have wanted him to play. I don't know,
15:50
Speaker 2: some games in Nashville over at third, it didn't look
15:52
Speaker 2: like he ever was was tapping himself over onto that spot.
15:56
Speaker 2: And maybe one last gas for Joey Ortiz, who's numbers
15:59
Speaker 2: are definitely better over the last month. As many strays
16:03
Speaker 2: as I've shot towards number three, they're getting a little
16:05
Speaker 2: bit better.
16:06
Speaker 3: That's hard to not this.
16:06
Speaker 2: Last twenty some games, is ops is above seven hundred.
16:10
Speaker 3: That's good.
16:10
Speaker 2: That's we got that as a replaceable major league baseball player.
16:13
Speaker 2: That's an average starter. So we'll give some kudos there.
16:17
Speaker 2: And maybe it does get a little bit better when
16:18
Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about shouldering the load over
16:22
Speaker 2: at short. I don't know how much that matters to
16:25
Speaker 2: your your bat toward in correlation to how much work
16:27
Speaker 2: you're putting in on the defensive side today in the bathroom,
16:31
Speaker 2: which we sometimes have some of our best debates.
16:33
Speaker 4: In best debates, yea, not about the bathroom, mostly about sports.
16:39
Speaker 3: We could have a debate about the bathroom.
16:40
Speaker 2: Every once in a while, and when they're gonna put
16:42
Speaker 2: a working paper tile dispenser in there, but kick to
16:45
Speaker 2: the balls of that day. I just wanted to hear
16:49
Speaker 2: Chuck say it. But you wonder if there's last six weeks,
16:55
Speaker 2: last three weeks, last five weeks before they're like, okay,
16:58
Speaker 2: now we're just gonna go with the full Nashville sounds
17:00
Speaker 2: left side of the infield, and we'll we'll run with Williams.
17:03
Speaker 3: It's tough.
17:04
Speaker 2: You can't necessarily do worse offensively than they've gotten out
17:08
Speaker 2: of the shortstop position. But Drew, it's hard to anticipate
17:11
Speaker 2: the man's gonna come up here and be a dynamo
17:13
Speaker 2: with the bat because that's just definitely not.
17:15
Speaker 4: Be It'll be an adjustment for sure's temporary expectations.
17:19
Speaker 3: And we did the same thing when Jackson came that.
17:22
Speaker 1: Not everybody is Cheerio like he drew a walk and
17:25
Speaker 1: stole a bag, his first a b right, his first
17:27
Speaker 1: played appearance.
17:28
Speaker 3: Yes, and I think his second one. He got his
17:29
Speaker 3: first base.
17:30
Speaker 1: Hitting right away. Not everybody is Cheurio though, but it's
17:34
Speaker 1: gonna be fun. Let's just enjoy it like there's not
17:36
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure. You're coming up, the team's rolling,
17:38
Speaker 1: that's the key, and you just say, he's gonna be absorbed.
17:41
Speaker 1: So final on the way out here, game ball to
17:45
Speaker 1: Pat Murphy having his hip issues, can't make the pitching changes,
17:50
Speaker 1: can't even walk out for the handshake line and stuff.
17:53
Speaker 1: He is his mobility has been compromised, and yet he's
17:57
Speaker 1: still grinding through it like the players do.
17:59
Speaker 3: Like I wonder, think him a tore it all shot
18:01
Speaker 3: or steroid shot, one of those scooters.
18:04
Speaker 2: You know that scooter probably doesn't almost makes it worse.
18:09
Speaker 1: The dugout has a ramp, the steps, you know how
18:13
Speaker 1: accessible it is.
18:13
Speaker 2: I also think what we need to really do is
18:15
Speaker 2: we need to get him to Phil Jackson on that bench.
18:18
Speaker 2: You gotta get him a big cuff, puffy chair. I mean,
18:21
Speaker 2: Phil Jackson had the world's largest pad on the chair
18:26
Speaker 2: that he would sit on. So all of a sudden
18:27
Speaker 2: you look over at the bench, who's this guy levitating? Oh,
18:31
Speaker 2: it's Phil Jackson's the biggest booster scene known to adults.
18:35
Speaker 3: We need to get that for Murph. Maybe that'll take
18:37
Speaker 3: some of that off. Or or Drew.
18:38
Speaker 2: We have a place that he could go during the
18:39
Speaker 2: All Star break if he had to. Yes, absolutely, I
18:42
Speaker 2: mean or.
18:43
Speaker 3: The Vehiclesult Season wiscons might be able to help out
18:45
Speaker 3: Pat Murphy. I think that absolutely.
18:46
Speaker 1: He needs to see doctor Matthew Bong for a console.
18:48
Speaker 1: He probably already has, but he had the MRI done
18:50
Speaker 1: and it's been a poor guy.
18:52
Speaker 3: It's just that's rough. That is the worst dude, and
18:54
Speaker 3: he's just got to be staring it down the phone
18:56
Speaker 3: on bone with his hip and is it's sciatica who knows,
18:58
Speaker 3: but pulling for you.
19:02
Speaker 1: When we come back, Scott Dolph is gonna drop on
19:04
Speaker 1: by for halftime. You are in the huddle Fox Sports
19:06
Speaker 1: Radio Wisconsin.
19:11
Speaker 4: A lot.
19:11
Speaker 3: I'm talking text ne eight seven seven, seven, nine four one.
19:14
Speaker 1: Ninety seven three game ball to our pal Scott Dolphin,
19:16
Speaker 1: our halftime courseponding for joining us here.
19:18
Speaker 3: At at headquarters.
19:19
Speaker 1: Hello Dolph, Fellas, Howard's your weekend amazing Brewers win two
19:23
Speaker 1: out of three, mis goes crazy.
19:25
Speaker 3: Were you at the game when Miss I was I
19:26
Speaker 3: was there Friday night.
19:28
Speaker 5: I was telling the guys in the kitchen, I couldn't
19:30
Speaker 5: believe the atmosphere when he came out for the ninth inning.
19:32
Speaker 5: It rivaled any crowd I've heard in any playoff game.
19:34
Speaker 3: I've been to. It felt like a playoff game. It
19:36
Speaker 3: really did.
19:36
Speaker 1: His starts our events now like he's it's a no hitter,
19:39
Speaker 1: Like every year you hold your breath till he gives
19:42
Speaker 1: up a hit. I still think an immaculate inning is
19:44
Speaker 1: going to happen one of these times where he gets
19:46
Speaker 1: nine nine pitches, close strikes, He's close.
19:48
Speaker 5: I love when Harper said he's a different animal. You
19:51
Speaker 5: just don't see guys like that. He said, I'm glad
19:53
Speaker 5: we got to face him just to see what he's
19:54
Speaker 5: all about, because if we see him in the playoffs.
19:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, after they ripped him last year.
20:00
Speaker 4: I just feel like the dynamic pricing in the secondary
20:02
Speaker 4: market is gonna start catching up where those tickets will
20:05
Speaker 4: start costing more. Like people will follow it and they're like, oh,
20:08
Speaker 4: this is a misstart. It's gonna cost more.
20:09
Speaker 3: You know. I think you're right. It's gonna be interesting
20:11
Speaker 3: to see that it is. It is a win when
20:13
Speaker 3: when you see him on the line.
20:15
Speaker 2: Now, I saw that they bumped him back at day
20:17
Speaker 2: as they said, pre planned a couple of built in
20:20
Speaker 2: rest days that he'll pitch in the Brave Series. Him
20:23
Speaker 2: and Harrison will be back to back. So miss is
20:25
Speaker 2: a home start to have another start against an NL team.
20:28
Speaker 2: It's also unique because you do have to be somewhat
20:32
Speaker 2: careful as how much you're working him, right, Like I
20:34
Speaker 2: know that, Yeah, he's so good that you almost forget
20:37
Speaker 2: all right he is in his second year in the
20:39
Speaker 2: big leagues. There was always a time for a long
20:41
Speaker 2: period of baseball lives where it was like, you can
20:44
Speaker 2: only go up thirty four innings from a year ago.
20:47
Speaker 2: I now, we're not gonna let him tax that arm
20:49
Speaker 2: too much. I think with modern science and how good
20:52
Speaker 2: the arm comes out after potentially at.
20:54
Speaker 3: A procedure, right, they're not as worried.
20:56
Speaker 2: But Dolf, it's like, can we budget and limit him
20:59
Speaker 2: even though he just ran twenty seven up twenty seven
21:02
Speaker 2: down against a team that's got a couple of all
21:04
Speaker 2: stars and maybe a Hall of Famer.
21:06
Speaker 3: I think it's important to baby him just a little bit.
21:08
Speaker 5: Like you said, second year, what twenty three twenty four
21:10
Speaker 5: years old.
21:12
Speaker 3: Almost a like a Norman Rockwell painting.
21:15
Speaker 5: It just goes to show you, you know, you can't
21:17
Speaker 5: put a lot of stock in five stars or guys
21:19
Speaker 5: that can't miss, because then you got a guy like
21:21
Speaker 5: miss who nobody really knew about in high school. Right,
21:25
Speaker 5: he wasn't getting he was getting zero offers out of
21:27
Speaker 5: high school. Goes to a junior college to pitch, goes
21:29
Speaker 5: to a juco, and then was going to join schemes
21:31
Speaker 5: at LSU.
21:32
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, knock him. Been incredible. What was his hometown?
21:37
Speaker 1: It was like something right out of a sitcom. He's
21:40
Speaker 1: right outside of Kansas City.
21:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, I remember the name was like so folksy small town,
21:45
Speaker 5: USA something something village.
21:49
Speaker 1: Or I can't remember, but it was a great hotown.
21:52
Speaker 1: He went to Grand Valley High School, Grain Valley, that's
21:56
Speaker 1: what Missouri born. Yeah, in Grain Valley High He grew
22:02
Speaker 1: up in Grain Valley, Missouri.
22:03
Speaker 3: Gotta love that. I'm down by the yeah, down by
22:06
Speaker 3: the Grain. Combat that type of thing. Well amazing.
22:09
Speaker 1: His senior year high school was wiped out because of COVID,
22:11
Speaker 1: So it's like that, yeah, that going for him.
22:14
Speaker 5: So there's lots of stuff the Brewer scout and I
22:16
Speaker 5: can't remember his name who discovered him, but said he's
22:18
Speaker 5: throwing in high school, he was throwing maybe ninety to
22:21
Speaker 5: ninety three miles an hour and thinking, this guy's gonna
22:24
Speaker 5: throw over one hundred and it's probably not going to
22:26
Speaker 5: be too far away when he does it well.
22:28
Speaker 2: And crazy that they got him and Ashby both out
22:31
Speaker 2: of the same community college in Missouri. I know that
22:34
Speaker 2: it works out with a pair of their their best
22:36
Speaker 2: arms they got at the same spot, and being able
22:39
Speaker 2: to forecast that. I don't know how. I mean, maybe
22:41
Speaker 2: it's the extension. Maybe it's just you know, you see
22:43
Speaker 2: enough baseball and you know how they're going to develop.
22:46
Speaker 2: But he has a quality the Murph called the you
22:49
Speaker 2: know Forrest Gump, like where he's just learning so much
22:52
Speaker 2: of it. If he has this like inate abilities like yeah,
22:55
Speaker 2: I mean I throw hard, but I don't know, man,
22:56
Speaker 2: I can throw harder.
22:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, I might be. I might be able to throw harder.
23:00
Speaker 3: I don't really know.
23:00
Speaker 2: When he goes on McAfee, they it's hilarious because he's like,
23:04
Speaker 2: how much faster could you?
23:05
Speaker 1: He goes, I don't know, I'm gonna see I'm gonna
23:09
Speaker 1: keep throwing hard and see we say athletes peak at
23:12
Speaker 1: twenty seven. He ain't there yet, that's crazy. And they
23:15
Speaker 1: put on They talked about how he worked his legs
23:17
Speaker 1: this year, like Dolph, you and I the world have
23:19
Speaker 1: to remember when Nolan Ryan was blowing smoke pass guys,
23:22
Speaker 1: and that's what it feels like, kind of like just
23:24
Speaker 1: like you got no chance. Was awesome, but Nolan Ryan
23:27
Speaker 1: was You look at his numbers, they're checkered somewhat like
23:30
Speaker 1: they're not well.
23:30
Speaker 4: You had a lot of walks if you go back,
23:32
Speaker 4: he issued a lot of walks. Sometimes it's hard to control.
23:35
Speaker 4: And that's been the biggest change for m is this
23:37
Speaker 4: year right consistently. Is is the control he's been able
23:40
Speaker 4: to have with his zone because when he got in
23:42
Speaker 4: trouble last year for that portion of the season, it
23:44
Speaker 4: was the control, you know, And so what he can
23:47
Speaker 4: do is it reminds.
23:48
Speaker 3: Me of that.
23:48
Speaker 4: And you said, Nolan when when uh, when like Dwight
23:51
Speaker 4: Gooden came up drew I mean kind of unhittable that
23:53
Speaker 4: type of thing.
23:54
Speaker 1: So, yeah, Nolan Ryan was penalized because of walks and
23:57
Speaker 1: his team success. Nolan Ryan is the second best pitcher
23:59
Speaker 1: to know ever win a Cy Young Award. You know,
24:01
Speaker 1: the best picture is yeah young, there he is. Hey,
24:07
Speaker 1: now I got you.
24:08
Speaker 3: That's such an old baseball press box. Yeah, that's my young.
24:14
Speaker 3: Reporter comes in. We'll tell him the joke. Tell me, would.
24:17
Speaker 2: We say that is the best coach in NFL history
24:21
Speaker 2: to not win or Super Bowl winning coach to not
24:23
Speaker 2: win Party Trophy would be Lombardy.
24:25
Speaker 3: Right there you go, there we go. We got another one.
24:27
Speaker 3: We canna drop that thing in there, good one.
24:29
Speaker 5: You always hear her sports records that will never be broken,
24:31
Speaker 5: and people bring up, you know, Ted Williams and the
24:33
Speaker 5: hitting streets.
24:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, saw Young's record will never be broken. What is it?
24:37
Speaker 3: How many wins did he have? Five hundred? That's the one.
24:40
Speaker 5: He would pitch both ends of a double header on
24:42
Speaker 5: a Sunday After people ask you.
24:43
Speaker 3: About that, that's the one.
24:45
Speaker 4: Like in theory, I think someone could break fifty six,
24:48
Speaker 4: even though it's super super aware.
24:49
Speaker 3: Nobody ever will break five.
24:51
Speaker 1: Anybody's breaking fifty six and no one's breaking Ripkins twenty
24:55
Speaker 1: one and whatever notymore guys have gotten closer.
24:58
Speaker 3: Guys have gotten closer. Let me just say that, all right.
25:01
Speaker 1: So Dolf with the nation's two hundred and fiftieth birthday.
25:04
Speaker 1: Year old enough to remember the bi centennial. That was
25:06
Speaker 1: a big deal.
25:06
Speaker 3: Yeah.
25:06
Speaker 5: In our youth, my hometown had a beard growing contest.
25:09
Speaker 5: That's what I remember most about. The Bison of the
25:11
Speaker 5: seventy six. Yeah, I was a kid that was a
25:13
Speaker 5: year older than me that actually grew a freaking beard.
25:16
Speaker 1: This was before everybody had the lumberjack look going, you know.
25:19
Speaker 1: But for now it's like the beards are I.
25:21
Speaker 3: Had no ch I just had nastiest little But here's
25:26
Speaker 3: the thing.
25:26
Speaker 1: I just found this out over the weekend. In honor
25:29
Speaker 1: of the nation's two hundred fiftieth and what's more American
25:32
Speaker 1: than baseball, hot dogs, Chevrolet and apple pie? McDonald's bringing
25:36
Speaker 1: back the apple pie. The hot apple pie is coming
25:39
Speaker 1: back to McDonald's as a snack snack next week.
25:42
Speaker 3: It's iconic.
25:44
Speaker 1: Buddy, Have you guys doured the thrill of burning your
25:47
Speaker 1: mouth on that lava? The hottest thing known to man, yep,
25:51
Speaker 1: was the McDonald's apple pie.
25:53
Speaker 5: It was always the highlight of my trip to McDonald's
25:55
Speaker 5: that in the quarter pinda with cheese. When I was
25:57
Speaker 5: a frequent visitor before you know you could do a
25:59
Speaker 5: certain a sandwich.
26:01
Speaker 3: You can't hack away the McDonald's as much as you
26:03
Speaker 3: used to.
26:04
Speaker 2: But the quarter pounder with cheese is one of the
26:06
Speaker 2: better sandwiches of all times. And I've had this debate
26:09
Speaker 2: with people that are big mac folks. Congratulations, the sauce
26:12
Speaker 2: is nice. Otherwise there's just a wasted piece of bread
26:14
Speaker 2: and they're gonna do thin pieces of meat.
26:16
Speaker 3: Overrated burger.
26:17
Speaker 2: The quarter powder with cheese is always gonna hit, always
26:22
Speaker 2: gonna work. And the apple pie, the worst thing is
26:25
Speaker 2: I would eat it first knowing it's gonna burn him out. However,
26:30
Speaker 2: you're so disappointed when once again they told you the
26:33
Speaker 2: shake machine was out and the ice cream machine was
26:35
Speaker 2: not working.
26:35
Speaker 3: I guess I'll have a apple pie. Remember ever, that
26:37
Speaker 3: kid that had the.
26:38
Speaker 4: App going with all the ice cream machines, like which
26:40
Speaker 4: ones are working in McDonald's and what we're gonna.
26:43
Speaker 3: Find that on flight aware? I don't know. I didn't.
26:46
Speaker 3: I didn't, Okay, Billy's making jokes about me and flat away.
26:49
Speaker 3: That's a good one.
26:50
Speaker 4: I texted everyone of whatever, just it's not even funny,
26:54
Speaker 4: all right, whatever I tell you.
26:55
Speaker 3: I did a screenshot.
26:57
Speaker 4: Of a flight yesterday going with which I thought I
27:00
Speaker 4: was exciting because it was Quinn Priests, dad's aviation company,
27:03
Speaker 4: and I'm like, I'm sorry, this hays no scoop interest
27:05
Speaker 4: to anybody else, but I just thought it was.
27:08
Speaker 3: I'm glad that you just outed your son.
27:09
Speaker 4: Nobody nobody made you tell that that that that well
27:12
Speaker 4: you brought it up, all right, it was anyway, I'm
27:16
Speaker 4: looking to work and uh.
27:18
Speaker 3: Maybe it'll hit.
27:19
Speaker 2: Maybe it'll hit, Maybe it'll work at some point, at
27:22
Speaker 2: some point they'll find one, and at some point McDonald's
27:24
Speaker 2: will will have one that that doesn't break the uh
27:27
Speaker 2: the the apple pie so much better than the strawberry.
27:31
Speaker 2: What did they come out? And they've they've fired up
27:33
Speaker 2: a couple of different cherry one. No Quick Trip has
27:37
Speaker 2: tried to have the pies. Now, Quick Trip doesn't miss
27:39
Speaker 2: with a whole lot of things. And I'm not saying
27:41
Speaker 2: that their snack pies are awful. It's just not going
27:43
Speaker 2: to match up to Okay, have a pocket of dessert.
27:46
Speaker 3: Is it under the heat lamp or how does this work? No,
27:48
Speaker 3: it's a no. I just kind of there, just kind
27:51
Speaker 3: of there. There's a little the little snack piet yeah, everyone's.
27:55
Speaker 2: Every once in a while when I fill up the
27:57
Speaker 2: car with gas on the way home, Drew will get
27:59
Speaker 2: me a you know, strawberry cream pie. And there's only
28:01
Speaker 2: so much that you can there's only so it's only
28:04
Speaker 2: so good that it can be without being warmed and
28:06
Speaker 2: scolding hot like the apple.
28:08
Speaker 4: And you don't need to because when you go to
28:09
Speaker 4: quick trip, you got Glaciers, Dunkers, you have so many different.
28:11
Speaker 3: Things, many tacos, those hash broad sticks, those chocolate peanut
28:16
Speaker 3: butter rice, Christy Trees, egg roll, if you had the
28:19
Speaker 3: pumpkin squares, oh my god. Okay, golf talking.
28:23
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's fantastic if you if you're careful and you
28:26
Speaker 4: get at the right time. They have a little discount
28:27
Speaker 4: bakery section too sometimes, which I.
28:29
Speaker 3: Love, all right. I love to get those left over.
28:32
Speaker 3: You know.
28:32
Speaker 5: My problem is where I live on the south side
28:34
Speaker 5: of Milwaukee's not that right.
28:36
Speaker 3: I'm in a quick trip food desert. Twenty seven closest
28:39
Speaker 3: it is.
28:40
Speaker 5: Twenty seventh in College is the closest quick trip to
28:42
Speaker 5: my hot because I think to this day the city
28:44
Speaker 5: of Milwaukee has zero quick trips, right or do they
28:47
Speaker 5: have one?
28:47
Speaker 4: By now that's the closest one, and there's none in
28:49
Speaker 4: the city limits, although there's like nine or ten of
28:51
Speaker 4: Milwaukee County.
28:52
Speaker 3: So the toughest thing.
28:52
Speaker 5: For me, well, and there's nine or ten on every
28:54
Speaker 5: exit between my house and like Racine or Walkershot County
28:57
Speaker 5: or Azaki County too.
28:58
Speaker 4: Well, twenty seventh then I'm sorry, is it Ryan? It's like,
29:02
Speaker 4: maybe not Ryan. There's two of them back to back.
29:04
Speaker 4: There's twenty seven that Ryan has some Yeo Creek. Yeah.
29:06
Speaker 4: The tough thing about it is, well, I've moved. I
29:09
Speaker 4: don't have a quick trip on the way to work anymore.
29:11
Speaker 4: I used to add that in the way to work,
29:12
Speaker 4: and now that I don't, that's sweet.
29:14
Speaker 5: Well, it was always customary if it was your birthday
29:16
Speaker 5: at work, you'd bring donuts. And I always had a
29:19
Speaker 5: couple of different places on my drive in, but then
29:22
Speaker 5: they just went away. Honey Dip Donuts used to be
29:25
Speaker 5: on the south Side on my way in.
29:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, I always threw a couple of extra in for me.
29:29
Speaker 4: I knowed that honey place. We went there in college
29:32
Speaker 4: plenty of times. Oh yeah.
29:34
Speaker 1: So for folks, the clarification people are like they never
29:37
Speaker 1: stopped serving the apple pie.
29:39
Speaker 3: It's they've been the baked apple pie.
29:40
Speaker 1: These are the fried ones, Oh yes, the real, the
29:43
Speaker 1: fried ones that are with the molten lava inside, the
29:47
Speaker 1: molten lava filling that would burn your not only just
29:49
Speaker 1: your mouth, your face, your chin, and you had to
29:52
Speaker 1: eat it. It was like you know, when you have a
29:54
Speaker 1: couple of milligrams in and you fire up that pizza
29:56
Speaker 1: coming out of the aisle.
29:57
Speaker 3: I was just gonna I mean.
29:59
Speaker 2: Out of the three on the mall, choice the apple pie,
30:01
Speaker 2: the frozen pizza, or the hot pocket, the ham and
30:03
Speaker 2: cheese hot pocket that you threw in, which is claimed
30:06
Speaker 2: more souls.
30:07
Speaker 1: A frozen pizza got me all the time. Yep, the
30:10
Speaker 1: pizza bump, and then that pain stays with you for
30:12
Speaker 1: like a week.
30:13
Speaker 4: I think, you know what though, that hot pocket, you
30:15
Speaker 4: always think it's cool down and it's not like no.
30:17
Speaker 3: Matter what, always thought you had a chance.
30:19
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think, just because I have that
30:21
Speaker 4: less often is the one I don't think about.
30:23
Speaker 3: But I think it is the hot pocket, Billy.
30:25
Speaker 2: You know, if you if you're yearning for days of
30:29
Speaker 2: yesteryear in a hot pocket that costco chicken bake is
30:32
Speaker 2: a decent, little decent little substitute what the hot pocket
30:35
Speaker 2: goes to be, because the hot pocket was a that
30:38
Speaker 2: was that was the thing that we were always cracking
30:39
Speaker 2: for for breakfast.
30:41
Speaker 4: David Oregon wants to know Oregon Orgon, I don't know
30:43
Speaker 4: anybody had that Mountain dew dunker yet.
30:45
Speaker 3: Is that a real No?
30:46
Speaker 1: People are It is real, but people are talking about that.
30:50
Speaker 4: That seems up your alley game in buwllelting diet mountain
30:54
Speaker 4: dew diet mount because the flavoring is not diet.
30:59
Speaker 3: That's strong for me.
31:00
Speaker 1: I'm not into the mountain too, A milky diet mountain, Okay,
31:03
Speaker 1: I couldn't even the unletted is not for me any
31:07
Speaker 1: that my palate has evolved.
31:09
Speaker 3: But that doughnut might not taste all the way like,
31:11
Speaker 3: I don't know.
31:12
Speaker 4: It's sort of like when I picked up the Cimino's
31:13
Speaker 4: Crunch bacon that one day and now Johnsonville has the
31:16
Speaker 4: Doctor Pepper Brats. Yes, I don't think it's like a
31:19
Speaker 4: full flavor, so it's just enough to make you think
31:21
Speaker 4: will taste of it.
31:22
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm intrigued, but I don't like it when they
31:23
Speaker 5: try to combine food into Although I'll say this, chips
31:28
Speaker 5: are good. The you know, your your salty snacks. They
31:30
Speaker 5: do a little better with you know, they have beer
31:32
Speaker 5: flavored chips and buffalo flavor, right, Yeah, they do a
31:36
Speaker 5: good job with it. But when it comes to sweets
31:38
Speaker 5: and savory putting soda flavors in.
31:42
Speaker 2: That one, I don't know about. Yeah, I don't know.
31:44
Speaker 2: If I don't know, if I'll roll there. They did
31:46
Speaker 2: the pink lemonade uh Dunker, and I was that extremely skeptical.
31:51
Speaker 3: It was it was good, it was decent. It wasn't great,
31:54
Speaker 3: but it was decent. But you got to try.
31:55
Speaker 2: If we don't think it's a blueberry Punker's just too good,
31:58
Speaker 2: that's good.
31:58
Speaker 3: But if we don't try it, how progress as a
32:00
Speaker 3: society drew?
32:01
Speaker 5: You can't have a diet mountain dew flavor dunk can't. No,
32:05
Speaker 5: I agree, you could that diity aftertaste in your.
32:10
Speaker 3: Drew like super And it was like it was years back.
32:15
Speaker 1: They changed the recipe of diet mountain dew and I
32:18
Speaker 1: got pissed, but then I just adapted to it.
32:20
Speaker 2: That Mountain weren't able to force to change like when
32:23
Speaker 2: they when they tried to yeah, when they changed the
32:26
Speaker 2: reesus and now yeah, the grandson of the Reesus family
32:29
Speaker 2: are making my granddaddy finally made again.
32:32
Speaker 3: That's right, that's not the taste that we should have
32:35
Speaker 3: sold the company.
32:36
Speaker 2: I have eaten more Reeseist than anybody just mentioned.
32:41
Speaker 5: When they changed Coca Cola, the freaking world revolted. It
32:45
Speaker 5: was I've never seen anything like that. Massive was the
32:48
Speaker 5: first viral uh protests. Some genius decided to change the
32:52
Speaker 5: most most recognizable brand in the world and change the flavor.
32:56
Speaker 1: And it was not as I had to go back
32:58
Speaker 1: to Coke Classic because it was just a embarrassing right.
33:00
Speaker 2: It was so was this was Pepsi already in in
33:04
Speaker 2: there just being able to capitalize on this or in
33:06
Speaker 2: the revolt they were pushing on.
33:08
Speaker 1: I think Pepsi was like the Pepsi had like a
33:10
Speaker 1: hot moment with a Pepsi generation.
33:12
Speaker 3: The generation. Yes, it started to eat up marking.
33:14
Speaker 5: Michael Jackson was big into pepsy But then they made
33:17
Speaker 5: it taste like Pepsi kind of, they made it sweeter,
33:19
Speaker 5: it didn't have that burn that it.
33:20
Speaker 3: Used to have. It was a major decisse.
33:23
Speaker 4: There's a lot of people that think that was This
33:25
Speaker 4: is one of the early conspiracy theories that that was
33:27
Speaker 4: a work that they did that just to get people
33:29
Speaker 4: to want regular coke again and then save their company
33:31
Speaker 4: when people start a flooding, they change the recipe back.
33:34
Speaker 3: Wow, look at that, right, Drew. Isn't that the whole thing?
33:38
Speaker 3: But I don't know if I believe it.
33:40
Speaker 2: I mean, I wasn't live either, for it's like eighties, right,
33:42
Speaker 2: early eighties. I think it was made the mid eighties.
33:47
Speaker 3: I was already in radio. I was alive maybe, but
33:50
Speaker 3: I wasn't conscious for it. Eighty five Okay, it was
33:53
Speaker 3: a big thing. Is we got to get coke classic
33:55
Speaker 3: don't get coke too.
33:57
Speaker 2: So that would be the version of when folks go
33:58
Speaker 2: to Mexico and there you need to have the coke
34:02
Speaker 2: that we have down here.
34:03
Speaker 3: Sorry, not that kind of coy.
34:05
Speaker 5: You can get it at every area, can save in
34:07
Speaker 5: the glass bottle.
34:08
Speaker 4: But that was that was the original, like frozen envelope
34:11
Speaker 4: conspiracy theory, like the NBA.
34:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, because when that was the one thing that everyone,
34:15
Speaker 2: everybody would want to bring back from Sunburn Bowl was Listen,
34:19
Speaker 2: we were having the real.
34:20
Speaker 3: Coca Cola dow there. You guys don't even understand that that.
34:23
Speaker 4: Big OL's sombrero, that didn't fit in the overhead. That's fair,
34:27
Speaker 4: that's right.
34:27
Speaker 1: So it was eighty five and it lasted seventy seven
34:30
Speaker 1: days until they had to reissue Classic Coke and I cry.
34:34
Speaker 3: A little longer, seventy one days longer than the market
34:37
Speaker 3: cat gold.
34:39
Speaker 1: And they kept the new formulation on the shelves like
34:43
Speaker 1: in the back burner, and they made it until two thousand.
34:45
Speaker 3: They called it Coke two in July.
34:50
Speaker 1: Two thousand and two, but it was hard to find.
34:51
Speaker 1: But Coke Too was the new formula, but his.
34:54
Speaker 3: Dad was buying Coke Too, like nobody wants.
34:56
Speaker 5: That's an epic fail. I'm trying to think of what
34:58
Speaker 5: would rival that. I don't think anything. Come, it's close now.
35:00
Speaker 5: That's one of the classics, one of the all timers.
35:03
Speaker 3: Fun.
35:03
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so they're going back to the fried apple pie,
35:05
Speaker 1: which is where you burn your mouth, not the baked one.
35:07
Speaker 3: That's no. The bags one had no no problem there.
35:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no crisp to it. Yeah, this was that's
35:13
Speaker 1: the one. Dolf, thank you for popping in. Appreciate it
35:16
Speaker 1: as always. It's always a good halftime update. Uh Hunter
35:19
Speaker 1: Bombguard's going to join us an hour from right now.
35:22
Speaker 1: Roughly cannot wait. Star, We'll talk of Brewers, Phillies. Brewers
35:26
Speaker 1: off today, Cooper Pratt. Era starts on Tuesday night as
35:29
Speaker 1: they take on the Guardians. You're in the huddle, Fox
35:31
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Wisconsin, Drew Billion Armon bring it to you
35:39
Speaker 1: the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. It is a hot take,
35:42
Speaker 1: hot take game, balls and.
35:43
Speaker 2: Kicks to the balls day here on Monday. That's what
35:46
Speaker 2: we do. We got to get a kick to the
35:47
Speaker 2: balls to arm And for just saying that people.
35:49
Speaker 3: Watch them take. It's that crazy, all right.
35:51
Speaker 4: If you look at Okay, didn't Jets and Mets fans
35:55
Speaker 4: watch the Nets?
35:56
Speaker 3: Was that the whole? That was not the whole? Islanders
35:59
Speaker 3: paint themselves enough. They had to watch the Jets and
36:02
Speaker 3: the Mets. They watched the Nets too, well, the Nets.
36:05
Speaker 1: The biggest games the Nets played at the at Brendan
36:07
Speaker 1: Bernarinos when.
36:08
Speaker 3: The Knicks came in the Amen.
36:10
Speaker 1: Yes, the Knicks are the I know, but okay, much
36:14
Speaker 1: like the Knicks have a hold on New York kind
36:16
Speaker 1: of the way that the Suns do in Phoenix. If
36:19
Speaker 1: you go to Phoenix, like there's Diamondbacks and there's a
36:21
Speaker 1: few Cardinals fans a lot of transplants, a lot of
36:23
Speaker 1: Cubs fans, there, a lot of Burgers people. But the
36:27
Speaker 1: Suns like they're the O G team. They are locked
36:29
Speaker 1: in sixty eight like that. The Sun's made Phoenix a
36:32
Speaker 1: major league city and so the allegiance there that is
36:35
Speaker 1: the one rider dive. If you ask most residents of Phoenix,
36:38
Speaker 1: which team do you want to win the title?
36:39
Speaker 3: It's the Suns.
36:40
Speaker 2: And if you go through, like you go to Phoenix
36:43
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, there, I'm here. In the middle
36:45
Speaker 2: of March, I'm gonna go see a game, or a
36:47
Speaker 2: middle of April, I'm gonna go see a game. Much
36:49
Speaker 2: harder ticket is any Suns ticket compared to anything else
36:52
Speaker 2: that's football stadium.
36:54
Speaker 1: To your point, Armen, like, there isn't divided loyalty, like
36:57
Speaker 1: when the Yankees win a World Series, Mets fans like
37:00
Speaker 1: kind of like Cubs, White Sox, right, sure they had
37:02
Speaker 1: so the Jets like the Giants win and Jets fans like,
37:05
Speaker 1: I'll screw them, you know, I wait for the Jets
37:07
Speaker 1: to win. When the Jets win, it'll be epic celebration
37:09
Speaker 1: if they ever get off the snide. But the Knicks
37:12
Speaker 1: kind of have that undivided. Like even the Rangers. There's
37:15
Speaker 1: Islanders fans and they have their history devils, but they're
37:17
Speaker 1: not there's no split there when it comes to basketball.
37:20
Speaker 1: It is the Knicks like ninety five percent Kicks fans.
37:24
Speaker 3: You could tell.
37:25
Speaker 2: You can just tell from the celebrations outside of MSG
37:29
Speaker 2: and and through out all of the different boroughs of
37:31
Speaker 2: New York. As somebody that's never been to New York,
37:34
Speaker 2: it just you could tell. It was an intoxicating visual
37:37
Speaker 2: to see that many people in a spot that otherwise
37:40
Speaker 2: you think is rather divided and frustrated and angry all
37:42
Speaker 2: the time, to be able to celebrate and have that
37:45
Speaker 2: kind of glow and glory. There's they've also like gone
37:50
Speaker 2: from and and maybe it's the the strangest comparison because
37:53
Speaker 2: it's the smallest market in the league to the biggest
37:56
Speaker 2: market in the league. You could almost find the kindred
37:58
Speaker 2: spirits of There was a large moment in my life
38:00
Speaker 2: where the Knicks were an absolute laughing stock. I mean,
38:03
Speaker 2: they get Carmelo Anthony and that was the most relevant
38:06
Speaker 2: they had been for a large portion of my life.
38:09
Speaker 2: Outside of Jeremy Lyn's like fourteen game run. It was
38:13
Speaker 2: not cool to watch the Knicks. It was like, all right,
38:15
Speaker 2: who's playing the Knicks on ABC? And that's why it's
38:19
Speaker 2: gonna be a nationally televised game. Now they're the case
38:23
Speaker 2: of New York the Stars there on Good Morning America.
38:25
Speaker 2: And I also think there's a there's a crazy likability
38:29
Speaker 2: for a group that has been as uh as knocked
38:33
Speaker 2: down and doubted as they have. Obviously Brunson is the one,
38:35
Speaker 2: but I'm looking at Kat right now. He's super cool
38:38
Speaker 2: in those shades. He's even number one overall pick. And
38:41
Speaker 2: I don't know that there's ever been one outside of
38:43
Speaker 2: Anthony Bennett that's been as universally dunked on.
38:45
Speaker 4: He's been dunked on, questioned plenty about his ability to
38:49
Speaker 4: actually be that guy and take a team over helping
38:51
Speaker 4: him to take a team over the top. You know,
38:53
Speaker 4: so that absolutely a lot of those guys have been
38:55
Speaker 4: maligned in that sense. You know how many people clown
38:59
Speaker 4: them for trading all those picks for bridges, you know,
39:02
Speaker 4: and then around the stage like those picks don't matter
39:05
Speaker 4: now or what.
39:06
Speaker 3: Was that Josh Hart forget them pick?
39:07
Speaker 4: I forget them picks, That's what it was, And thank
39:10
Speaker 4: goodness for him because somebody gave a good sound bite
39:13
Speaker 4: in the post game. I'm waiting for somebody to say something.
39:15
Speaker 4: Everyone was silent. I understand they're exciting, but they couldn't
39:18
Speaker 4: get any words out. I'm like, somebody, give me a
39:21
Speaker 4: sound bite.
39:21
Speaker 3: Somebody, so we mentioned at least.
39:25
Speaker 2: I think Giannis probably doesn't enjoy watching that finals, knowing
39:29
Speaker 2: that he no longer can go be a neck. Well right,
39:32
Speaker 2: like they're not they're not, They're not interested.
39:34
Speaker 3: Now maybe he's thinking I could go team up with Wemby.
39:37
Speaker 2: Maybe Wemby, maybe a Jason Tatum getting sniffed on into
39:41
Speaker 2: the ecosystem Drew. We are now into full Yannis season
39:45
Speaker 2: and the biggest story in all of sports over the
39:48
Speaker 2: next week, week and a half until this happens. I
39:51
Speaker 2: think it's gonna happen sooner rather than later. Giannis is
39:55
Speaker 2: the number one story in sports until this resolution comes,
39:58
Speaker 2: and it feels like it's coming fast than ever.
40:00
Speaker 3: It's coming. We think it is. Yes, eight seven seven,
40:03
Speaker 3: seven ninety four one ninety seven three, and finally some
40:06
Speaker 3: appropriate trade packages.
40:07
Speaker 2: I'm seeing, Yeah, finally a little bit less of the
40:09
Speaker 2: insulting offers, and I'm starting to be able a little
40:12
Speaker 2: bit more treat with that and we'll discuss that.
40:15
Speaker 1: Hunter bomgra joins us at seven twenty five. Got some
40:18
Speaker 1: awards to give out as well. We're glad you're hanging
40:20
Speaker 1: out with us. You are in the huddle. Fox Sports Radio,
