- 2:04Speaker 6: struggled to pull this ship by ourselves. So we we
- 2:07Speaker 6: even even you playing hurt, it is going to be
- 2:10Speaker 6: better than us trying to skate a man down, because

- 2:15Speaker 2: It's good the captain of the ships here. I mean,
- 2:17Speaker 2: we would have made it. We would have made it through,

- 2:23Speaker 6: about chilli or not, Like things don't go well when Drew.
- 2:26Speaker 2: When Drew leaves, it probably have been a lot more
- 2:29Speaker 2: of passive aggressive takes at Oklahoma City's parade last year
- 2:32Speaker 2: compared to New York's this year, which is like comparing
- 2:35Speaker 2: dirt to gold. I'm sorry, but I did see that
- 2:37Speaker 2: you were there, Drew your better man than me. You
- 2:39Speaker 2: made it the Summerfest and the show, which is uh
- 2:42Speaker 2: did not see though for the ten o'clock that was
- 2:47Speaker 2: my choice.
- 2:47Speaker 4: Yeah, but you.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Were there with KB. I mean I saw that. That's
- 2:50Speaker 2: pretty awesome. Eddie and Stallas wants to know how brother
- 2:52Speaker 2: man was yesterday.
- 2:53Speaker 4: It was yeah, on the hanging out, We're hanging out,
- 2:57Speaker 4: and then walked over to us. Had a couple of
- 3:00Speaker 4: people like, oh, I can't believe I'm seeing you guys together, Like, well,
- 3:03Speaker 4: what are you talking about?
- 3:04Speaker 2: The place to find you guys only existed on the air,
- 3:07Speaker 2: like not in real life. Is that what the idea was?
- 3:10Speaker 4: Interesting? Well, yeah, it's like, yeah, they thought that we
- 3:13Speaker 4: couldn't hang out anymore for like the last six months
- 3:15Speaker 4: or something.
- 3:15Speaker 6: Well that's the since I heart wouldn't allow him to
- 3:18Speaker 6: hang out for six months. Yeah, my mom actually won't
- 3:20Speaker 6: let me, let me hang out with you.
- 3:21Speaker 2: For a while. They kind of play, I'm grounded, I can't.
- 3:24Speaker 4: I can't.
- 3:24Speaker 2: I'll be grounding for a while, but then when I'm out,
- 3:26Speaker 2: I'm good that we can play.
- 3:27Speaker 6: But Arma, what you also said is kind of what
- 3:29Speaker 6: I thought when I was a kid of teachers.
- 3:31Speaker 2: I didn't.
- 3:32Speaker 6: I actually didn't believe teachers existed outside of school. And
- 3:36Speaker 6: I remember in third grade when I saw or second grade,
- 3:38Speaker 6: when I saw Missus Guy, my second grade teacher, out
- 3:40Speaker 6: at Target.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Did that blew your mind was changed? That's absolutely true.
- 3:45Speaker 2: I think a lot of people that wanted never forget
- 3:48Speaker 2: seeing my third grade teacher, Missus Steiner, at at like
- 3:53Speaker 2: a baseball game. It was like, I don't know what
- 3:55Speaker 2: it was for, must been some sort of little league game,
- 3:57Speaker 2: and I'm like, what are you doing. You're supposed to
- 3:59Speaker 2: be in the class. I thought that's you don't live
- 4:01Speaker 2: a life. You're not a human. You only exist in
- 4:03Speaker 2: the classroom, sitting behind the desk, waiting for summer to end,
- 4:06Speaker 2: waiting for us to come back to school. But I'm like, oh,
- 4:08Speaker 2: these are real people. Yeah. Seeing a teacher in the
- 4:10Speaker 2: wild was one of the more unusually uncomfortable experiences as
- 4:14Speaker 2: a young young child that you had to get over.
- 4:16Speaker 2: That and the realization that Quicksand wasn't on every corner.
- 4:19Speaker 2: We grew up at fearing quicksand. We've talked about that.
- 4:22Speaker 4: That's not a wee thing. That was a you thing.
- 4:24Speaker 4: Yeah that was. That was a you thing with the quicksand,
- 4:27Speaker 4: but yes it was. It was in our media.
- 4:29Speaker 2: It was it was a Quicksand was a problem. So
- 4:31Speaker 2: you know, you had to think of quicksand escape strategies,
- 4:33Speaker 2: and you had to think, what if I see my
- 4:35Speaker 2: teacher out and I mean, that's just a weird situation
- 4:38Speaker 2: because she does exist, you know, as a real person.
- 4:41Speaker 2: So now you grow up and all your friend's sisters
- 4:43Speaker 2: are teachers and you're like, oh, okay, that sounds good. Yeah, yeah,
- 4:46Speaker 2: that's a you thing. I guess that's another arma and thing.
- 4:49Speaker 6: It's another Army, the Quick, the quicksand one is the
- 4:52Speaker 6: one that that gets me. There were there were a
- 4:54Speaker 6: lot of different escape things that you had to learn
- 4:55Speaker 6: when you were in school back in the day. There
- 4:57Speaker 6: were a lot of different ones, even to oh yeah, yeah,
- 5:02Speaker 6: I don't remember the quicksand one. I don't know, but
- 5:04Speaker 6: I might have missed that day. I might drew. I
- 5:06Speaker 6: just might have missed that day. Maybe my agent was
- 5:09Speaker 6: better then and I got out of it. I got
- 5:11Speaker 6: out of the quick sand escaped drill.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Yeah. I was in third grade when cryptosporidium happened in Milwaukee.
- 5:15Speaker 2: The disease and the water where we couldn't drink the water, Yeah,
- 5:19Speaker 2: that was the city got sick of.
- 5:20Speaker 4: Yeah, that was bad city diarrhea. At the same time,
- 5:25Speaker 4: the way to start a from the water supply. I remember,
- 5:28Speaker 4: this is.
- 5:28Speaker 2: What happened when verbal diarrhea happens. We actually end up
- 5:31Speaker 2: ended up. It's later at diarrhea. Crypto was wild. And
- 5:34Speaker 2: the funny thing about that was it was kind of
- 5:37Speaker 2: electric for a couple of reasons. One, they had to
- 5:41Speaker 2: keep the kids hydrated. Hold on, not the actual disease,
- 5:45Speaker 2: but listen, when you were when you were nine, they
- 5:47Speaker 2: were bringing in those little barrel juices to class. Do
- 5:50Speaker 2: you remember what I'm talking about, the little barrels anybody?
- 5:53Speaker 4: It was like juice, but it was oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 5:55Speaker 4: it looked like a little grenade.
- 5:57Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, because they had to keep the kids hydrated,
- 5:59Speaker 2: so they're in like soda in a class. I was like,
- 6:01Speaker 2: this is great. You know, we're getting soda. And it
- 6:04Speaker 2: wasn't soda, but I've tasted like soda. And we got
- 6:07Speaker 2: to and I was like, holy come, I'm I'm buying
- 6:10Speaker 2: bottled water. Why are we getting We never bought bottle
- 6:12Speaker 2: of water before?
- 6:13Speaker 4: Are we rich?
- 6:14Speaker 2: Now we're bougie. Now we got poland spring. Baby, we're bougie.
- 6:18Speaker 4: You got we're boil notices and stuff.
- 6:21Speaker 2: There's things that was the yeah, boil notices. It was
- 6:23Speaker 2: a crazy time and more.
- 6:24Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of this. It I was like traveling
- 6:26Speaker 4: or something and I missed that. I missed the.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Good, good week and a half.
- 6:30Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a good time to be away, but
- 6:31Speaker 4: I didn't miss it. I didn't.
- 6:33Speaker 2: It was nuts, boil waters.
- 6:36Speaker 4: The virus, Oh my goodness.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Arm, it's at That's a hot way to start a Friday.
- 6:41Speaker 4: Drew you now you. You should have just stayed hungover
- 6:45Speaker 4: and stayed home. I was actually going to do the
- 6:46Speaker 4: show from home, but you but you got that do
- 6:48Speaker 4: then I'm like, I got that dog and me and
- 6:50Speaker 4: I thought, well, I'm feeling all right, and I got
- 6:52Speaker 4: up at the normal time, so I might as well
- 6:54Speaker 4: just slap in the show. Was always better when you're
- 6:56Speaker 4: in the same room.
- 6:56Speaker 6: Really, I might as well hear arm and talk about,
- 6:58Speaker 6: you know, diarrhea at five os on a beautiful Friday
- 7:01Speaker 6: the good Lands.
- 7:02Speaker 2: Hey, yeah, the symptoms.
- 7:04Speaker 4: There was five o'clock clubbers welcome in eight seven seven,
- 7:07Speaker 4: seven nine four one night.
- 7:08Speaker 6: We told you pers We never we never specified what
- 7:12Speaker 6: perks exactly you would get. But so what was what
- 7:15Speaker 6: was the vibe like last night? What was the what
- 7:17Speaker 6: were the vibes around the park. It was a joyous celebration.
- 7:21Speaker 4: It was like just I don't want to sound like,
- 7:23Speaker 4: you know, Bill Walton that the waxing poetic about the
- 7:25Speaker 4: grateful Dead. But it was a joyous celebration.
- 7:28Speaker 2: It was great.
- 7:28Speaker 4: We did see I bumped into our friends like Saz
- 7:31Speaker 4: and Woa Joe and John Greenberg Elfe and we had
- 7:34Speaker 4: you know, it was we were there earlier, we for
- 7:38Speaker 4: you eight years. We were a summerfest. We were on
- 7:40Speaker 4: the air from three to six and people would walk
- 7:42Speaker 4: by our little lake house, our little double wide trailer,
- 7:46Speaker 4: and it was cool. And then we would just you know,
- 7:48Speaker 4: bop out and lock up the trailer and then and
- 7:50Speaker 4: had hit the night. So but this time there was
- 7:53Speaker 4: no work involved, so that I didn't calibrate. That added
- 7:56Speaker 4: three extra hours to imbibe. That's like him do that math,
- 8:01Speaker 4: and it was oh okay. But then I was done
- 8:03Speaker 4: earlier than I would have been, so I was actually
- 8:05Speaker 4: rolling shutting down. Right after the big bang, I was
- 8:08Speaker 4: able to go to sleep, And well, that works.
- 8:10Speaker 6: Out pretty well because I listen, I think the I
- 8:12Speaker 6: think night one is like a lot of different festivals.
- 8:18Speaker 6: Day one can kind of be a feeling out process. Yeah,
- 8:21Speaker 6: it sounds like it hit the ground right. It did,
- 8:23Speaker 6: and it was perfect weather, it was nice. I saw.
- 8:26Speaker 4: I saw some pretty good music. Alejandro Escovedo one of
- 8:28Speaker 4: my favorite songwriters, one of the Texas guys. He moved
- 8:32Speaker 4: to Austin in nineteen eighty. He was in this band
- 8:35Speaker 4: called Rank and File, and I used to see them
- 8:36Speaker 4: open for the Blasters and Los Lobos back in the
- 8:39Speaker 4: day and he's just great. Been following his career for
- 8:41Speaker 4: a long time. He puts out great music. Got to
- 8:43Speaker 4: see him in a cool setting. He was on that
- 8:46Speaker 4: kind of I don't even know what the stages are
- 8:48Speaker 4: called now because the sponsors changed quickly, but it's that
- 8:50Speaker 4: covered stage. It used to be Pottle out of Me
- 8:52Speaker 4: and oh okay, yea yeah, so that that was cool.
- 8:56Speaker 4: And then I saw a little bit of modern Ing,
- 9:00Speaker 4: I guess yeah, so that was that had a huge
- 9:03Speaker 4: crowd for that dream syndicate Modern English and then Echo
- 9:07Speaker 4: and the Bunnyman were the lineup on that stage. Question
- 9:10Speaker 4: there's a lot of people capturing their eighties swag.
- 9:13Speaker 2: I like that question on it because I've heard that,
- 9:15Speaker 2: like it's there's a lot more old you know, like
- 9:18Speaker 2: throwback X Modern English when they is everyone winning around
- 9:21Speaker 2: for them to play.
- 9:22Speaker 4: Their hit pretty much I'll melt with you as their hit.
- 9:25Speaker 4: And I didn't see it. I didn't last it didn't
- 9:27Speaker 4: last that long, but had had to go make my
- 9:29Speaker 4: way to get a cheeseburger from gouls Be. That's a
- 9:31Speaker 4: winter yes kind of the grounds, which is on my
- 9:33Speaker 4: way out anyway, so it's like the exit cheeseburger. That's
- 9:36Speaker 4: the perfect to I had a pretty good to go or.
- 9:38Speaker 2: I was gonna ask you guys, what's like the one
- 9:40Speaker 2: thing or anyone can chive in on this, the one
- 9:42Speaker 2: thing you have to do for.
- 9:42Speaker 4: The crushed a lot of mazzarella Marina Chandler. So that
- 9:47Speaker 4: goes to hell.
- 9:48Speaker 6: Yeah, my my wife hates it, but there's it's either
- 9:52Speaker 6: going to be I'm getting a bucket of wings from
- 9:54Speaker 6: Gooles Beats because it's really I mean, it's in a bucket.
- 9:57Speaker 6: It's not a traffle food, right like it that is
- 9:59Speaker 6: not a walking around the rest of.
- 10:01Speaker 4: The you can't can and I.
- 10:04Speaker 6: Mean they are as scolding hot as possible how you
- 10:06Speaker 6: want them coming out.
- 10:07Speaker 2: You want to, but in the buckets, they're not not
- 10:10Speaker 2: a traveling food that you have the receptacles.
- 10:13Speaker 6: That's the problem Armat. It gives you the It's kind
- 10:15Speaker 6: of like the quarterbacks safety in football right now. It's
- 10:19Speaker 6: an illusion. The thought is, oh, I can walk around
- 10:22Speaker 6: with this bucket of wings and eat and push this
- 10:25Speaker 6: stroller while also at one point and maybe grabbing a
- 10:27Speaker 6: high life and then you're kind of weaving around and
- 10:29Speaker 6: then everyone's looking for you and you're thinking, well, now
- 10:32Speaker 6: I'm walking around with one bone, where I gotta find
- 10:34Speaker 6: a garbagekit. It's not as much of a traveling food
- 10:37Speaker 6: as you think until you're in too deep, your hands
- 10:40Speaker 6: are too sauced up, your face is covered in sauce.
- 10:43Speaker 6: You only have half of the buckets still done, so
- 10:46Speaker 6: you're still gonna finish this part of the bucket in
- 10:48Speaker 6: your mouth is now already burnt to hell because they
- 10:51Speaker 6: came out so hot. So that's one of my favorites.
- 10:53Speaker 6: The other is the uh is the half chicken, because
- 10:56Speaker 6: you do just feel cool ripping that son of a gun.
- 10:59Speaker 2: Ripping that thing going in right.
- 11:01Speaker 6: Yes, yes, they that they almost cook him like Amish style,
- 11:06Speaker 6: right where the grill just flips right over onto the flame.
- 11:09Speaker 2: So good h And that all.
- 11:12Speaker 4: Ends up happening after the Venice Club ended, because that
- 11:14Speaker 4: was the one place that I would actually vibe with
- 11:16Speaker 4: the eggplant for that was the spot.
- 11:17Speaker 2: Unfortunately, now the thing is right by there was the
- 11:20Speaker 2: Chinese food spot, and that was the tough one to
- 11:23Speaker 2: walk around and eat at Summerfest. The Chinese food spot,
- 11:25Speaker 2: which was unusually like or unexpectedly good always I thought.
- 11:29Speaker 2: There and then you have the soaper noodle spot, which
- 11:31Speaker 2: is decent, but for me it was always the Greek
- 11:33Speaker 2: village euro which is which is usually winter. As long
- 11:36Speaker 2: as you kind of you put enough to Zekie sauce
- 11:40Speaker 2: in there where it's not gonna overflow and make a mess,
- 11:42Speaker 2: but it's good enough just to contain in the Euro,
- 11:44Speaker 2: then you're pretty good there. So it's always like that
- 11:47Speaker 2: first time, the first day, the first moment you walk
- 11:49Speaker 2: into the gates. You have to get that first thing
- 11:51Speaker 2: to really get your mood right, Like if it's the
- 11:53Speaker 2: Hawaiian shay ice, maybe it's something like that delicious obviously
- 11:58Speaker 2: the first beer. All those things are, all those things
- 12:00Speaker 2: are clutched, so it signals the start of summer when
- 12:03Speaker 2: you had that first as the Sandler platter to let
- 12:05Speaker 2: me tell you, that's the number one.
- 12:06Speaker 4: That's when it hits.
- 12:07Speaker 2: That's when summer hits.
- 12:08Speaker 6: Man And this picture that Stamman and Steve sent into
- 12:10Speaker 6: the talking text line that hits from the Big Bang yesterday.
- 12:14Speaker 6: Hone lit up the grounds just in an absolute glow
- 12:18Speaker 6: and a beautiful shot of I don't know all the
- 12:21Speaker 6: different versions of the fireworks, but the big one that goes.
- 12:24Speaker 2: Boom and they Yeah, that actually spreads out right.
- 12:27Speaker 6: That's a beautiful, beautiful shot from our our man Steve,
- 12:31Speaker 6: and it is a beautiful kickoff of summer. I still
- 12:36Speaker 6: think it creeps up on you being the three weekends,
- 12:38Speaker 6: like you don't necessarily realize how early it starts us,
- 12:41Speaker 6: but it gives you a good taste.
- 12:43Speaker 4: And then I think this is the one unintended positive
- 12:48Speaker 4: of the three weekends drew. Then the excitement builds for
- 12:51Speaker 4: the folks that miss out this weekend.
- 12:52Speaker 2: They're like sun up, it's out of town.
- 12:55Speaker 4: Then for four days you wait and get excited to
- 12:58Speaker 4: be able to go next weekend and into the fourth
- 13:00Speaker 4: July weekend.
- 13:00Speaker 2: So I'm fired up.
- 13:01Speaker 4: We we have our day set on circled on Saturday

- 14:11Speaker 2: and i'll probably I'll probably bump it once here as
- 14:14Speaker 2: we go along. We have classic that amongst many other
- 14:16Speaker 2: treats for everybody.
- 14:17Speaker 4: Here at the Amphitheater, the headlining show. And one thing
- 14:20Speaker 4: we learned in seven or eight years of sitting and
- 14:23Speaker 4: looking out at people for three hours, even if you
- 14:26Speaker 4: didn't look at a schedule or you weren't aware who
- 14:29Speaker 4: the headliner was on the American Family Insurance Amphitheater stage,
- 14:32Speaker 4: you could kind of tell by the way people were dressed.
- 14:34Speaker 2: That's a good one.
- 14:35Speaker 4: If there's a lot of goth people walking around, if
- 14:38Speaker 4: it's a hip hop show, you can tell by the
- 14:40Speaker 4: fashion mm hmm. And last night's headliner was Megan Maroney,
- 14:44Speaker 4: so there were a lot of cowgirls in sun dresses
- 14:47Speaker 4: with cowboy boots and a lot of bedazzling going on
- 14:50Speaker 4: out of be dazzling, Oh my god, a whole lot
- 14:53Speaker 4: of bedazzling.
- 14:54Speaker 2: So if you, if you were maybe a you know,
- 14:56Speaker 2: young man, that would have been the night to go.
- 14:57Speaker 4: And I would say it was, yes, if you were
- 15:01Speaker 4: a young single guy, would have been a target rich environment.
- 15:03Speaker 6: Would have been fruitful, would have been fruitful for our friends.
- 15:05Speaker 6: Uh and and hopefully some were able to capitalize because
- 15:08Speaker 6: there's nothing like the beautiful summer fest love.
- 15:10Speaker 4: There's for sure like making up against the door. What
- 15:15Speaker 4: says romance? More nothing says romance like random randomly dancing
- 15:19Speaker 4: on a picnic table and hoping they fall off, and
- 15:22Speaker 4: all of a sudden you pump in and realize, oh wow,
- 15:25Speaker 4: actually not the worst looking person of all time.
- 15:27Speaker 2: Summer nights, man, summer nights. But like you know, and
- 15:30Speaker 2: then like you know, you were excited. You know that
- 15:32Speaker 2: long was going up last night, and you know, you
- 15:34Speaker 2: took the freeway flyer down on high school and you're like, boy,
- 15:38Speaker 2: so and so is gonna be here from school and
- 15:39Speaker 2: her friends are there, and you like, hey, the hyping
- 15:42Speaker 2: up of the boys on the way down there, that's
- 15:43Speaker 2: gonna be Yeah exactly, you hype the boys up.
- 15:46Speaker 4: You guys have these dreams. Maybe it really is like
- 15:48Speaker 4: a twenty minute pep talk. Yeah, you bought a new
- 15:51Speaker 4: what's happening, dude?
- 15:52Speaker 2: You bought a new Nike polo shirt or something like,
- 15:53Speaker 2: you bought a new shirt maybe now under armor. As
- 15:55Speaker 2: you get older, no, I'm just kidding. Now you're probably
- 15:58Speaker 2: worn't I jock? Yeah exactly, we'll always do that now,
- 16:03Speaker 2: Iron Jacke. As you get older, of course, and you
- 16:06Speaker 2: know then you say, hey, do you want to go
- 16:07Speaker 2: on the skyglider, you know, one of those things.
- 16:09Speaker 4: So alright, So meanwhile was the skyglider I thought I
- 16:17Speaker 4: would I would have thought the Rocks were the closing movie.
- 16:19Speaker 4: I got a skyglidder story for you guys in a
- 16:22Speaker 4: little bit three minutes away from the sky gold wait
- 16:26Speaker 4: some infessor's big story in Milwaukee, there are other things
- 16:28Speaker 4: having Brewers. Of course, Brewers losing Getaway Day, they won
- 16:32Speaker 4: the series. They lost four to two offense shut down
- 16:34Speaker 4: by a twenty five year old lefty named Parker Messik. Oh,
- 16:37Speaker 4: he would didn't get much going Shane Jrolans college teammate,
- 16:40Speaker 4: head guys on the birst guys on there was a
- 16:42Speaker 4: lot of traffic, but just not a little breakthrough out
- 16:45Speaker 4: of it, especially late. And so the Brewers like you
- 16:48Speaker 4: win the series and now they got a little bit
- 16:50Speaker 4: of a maybe a little bit of fire going into
- 16:53Speaker 4: tonight big series against the Braves over the weekend with
- 16:56Speaker 4: Miz and Harrison line up to start the first two games.
- 16:58Speaker 4: Speaking of Jake Jaking miss Rowski, we're gonna hear from
- 17:00Speaker 4: him today. Hunter Bombguart interviewed the Brewers phenom uh So
- 17:05Speaker 4: we're going to spin through that but probably wait until
- 17:07Speaker 4: about six thirty because Dolph isn't here today going to
- 17:10Speaker 4: say a veteran move and he dipped today. So what
- 17:13Speaker 4: we'll do is we'll listen to Jacob Mazerowski at six
- 17:16Speaker 4: thirty and then when we come back Hunter gave us
- 17:19Speaker 4: another interview. Hunter and Jack Stern, who are two of
- 17:23Speaker 4: the bright young stars on the Brewers media ensemble. Those
- 17:28Speaker 4: guys had a two on one interview with Matt ericson
- 17:32Speaker 4: the Brewers Infield Coach and third base. Let's go so
- 17:35Speaker 4: that I'll hear that.
- 17:38Speaker 2: Forward.
- 17:39Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, So that that is. That's our plan for today.
- 17:42Speaker 4: Other than that, I just you know, it's a free form,
- 17:48Speaker 4: free flowing fire your agent Friday. There's no set agenda.
- 17:51Speaker 4: We got the US plane in the World Cup tonight,
- 17:53Speaker 4: Brewers and Braves US taking Australia in Seattle, which we'll
- 17:58Speaker 4: be rocking and fun. I have a nice win yesterday
- 18:03Speaker 4: Mexico beating UH South Korea.
- 18:05Speaker 6: And one of the worst things that one of the
- 18:10Speaker 6: worst sports injuries I may have ever seen happen in
- 18:12Speaker 6: that Canada guitar game.
- 18:13Speaker 2: That's brutal. Oh my good, Kevin Ware.
- 18:17Speaker 6: It was a little Yes, it was Kevin ware esque
- 18:20Speaker 6: with with full shint guards on. Ye, that was one
- 18:23Speaker 6: of the worst things that I've seen. Uh, but in
- 18:26Speaker 6: an absolute.
- 18:29Speaker 2: And that Canada put on. Like the North American.
- 18:32Speaker 4: Teams, American teams are rolling.
- 18:34Speaker 6: Roll and drew, playing different levels. So I'm excited for
- 18:37Speaker 6: the US coming up at two today. Mexico is the
- 18:39Speaker 6: first team that's through as well. They clinched their group.
- 18:41Speaker 6: They're in the knockout stage.
- 18:43Speaker 4: Yeah, we're having some fun with that. And I just
- 18:46Speaker 4: love I'm watching these people these takeovers. The Scots just
- 18:49Speaker 4: took over Boston and pounding beers and just putting on
- 18:52Speaker 4: a show. How about the lines outside the waffle houses
- 18:55Speaker 4: in the South, It's pretty wild.
- 18:56Speaker 2: People are going crazy for waffle house.
- 18:59Speaker 4: They want to stamp the real America. Well then somebody's
- 19:02Speaker 4: got to get into a fight for these folks to
- 19:03Speaker 4: be able to get.
- 19:04Speaker 2: The full house experience at one am.
- 19:06Speaker 4: Not wrong, You're not wrong.
- 19:08Speaker 2: They're sending they're trying to send like palettes of ranch
- 19:10Speaker 2: dressing back to Europe because like, ranch dressing is the
- 19:13Speaker 2: delicacy they never really needed.
- 19:14Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, oh my goodness, that's hilarious. All right, We're
- 19:17Speaker 4: still in the Honis watch. We're still waiting, baby, still wait.
- 19:22Speaker 4: The draft is approaching. It's just a whole lot of
- 19:25Speaker 4: nobody knows what's going on, and there's a lot more speculation,
- 19:28Speaker 4: uh that we might be even in for a longer
- 19:31Speaker 4: time of the Yannis watch. So I think that's well put,
- 19:35Speaker 4: well put, all right, So we're off running. When we
- 19:36Speaker 4: come back, we'll hear Hunter Bombguart uh and Jackxter and
- 19:40Speaker 4: h talking with Matt Erickson, the state guy. You're right,
- 19:43Speaker 4: Appleton Fellah, former manager of the Timber Rattlers, first base
- 19:47Speaker 4: coach in infield, a third base coach and infield coach
- 19:49Speaker 4: of the milwaccer Bers. That's coming up next. We're gonna
- 19:52Speaker 4: power through. We're gonna break the tape strong. It's the
- 19:55Speaker 4: Friday edition of the Huddle. Fox Sports Radio.
- 20:00Speaker 6: Little Hair of the Dog, even though it's not, makes
- 20:02Speaker 6: you feel way better the day after.
- 20:04Speaker 4: Girl in the Moon friend of mine has this tattoo.
- 20:06Speaker 4: Pretty cool.
- 20:07Speaker 2: Great, that's a great idea for it.
- 20:09Speaker 4: One you're not gonna get removed because you represent you know,
- 20:12Speaker 4: it's just a it's a my uncle has the has
- 20:15Speaker 4: that girl on the moon in the basement.
- 20:17Speaker 6: I'm like a I'm like a little painting, kind of
- 20:19Speaker 6: like a mural deal. One of the cooler, cooler wreck
- 20:22Speaker 6: room things that you're gonna see that with the old
- 20:24Speaker 6: school neon light.
- 20:26Speaker 2: That's a cool one. That's a hitter, right. All the
- 20:27Speaker 2: stuff the dive bars used to get for free, you know,
- 20:29Speaker 2: not for free, but for like from the distributors. You
- 20:32Speaker 2: know what they're doing. Make it about costs. Well, I'm
- 20:34Speaker 2: just saying that's then they would sell them in the
- 20:35Speaker 2: rubber and sales, which I would try and hit up.
- 20:37Speaker 2: But it was a lot of fun. Oh my good,
- 20:39Speaker 2: lot of fun. Lots of stuff, loads and loads of
- 20:41Speaker 2: fun loads. Okay, this is fun.
- 20:43Speaker 4: Today on the program we mentioned Hunter Bombguard is helping
- 20:46Speaker 4: us out. He is doing some good living tributing Hunter
- 20:50Speaker 4: and his appearances here brought to us by import Minded,
- 20:52Speaker 4: your trusted car care experts on twenty seventh Street, just
- 20:55Speaker 4: north of eight ninety four. Now, he and Jack Stern
- 20:59Speaker 4: talked to third base coach Wisconsin native Matt Erickson. They
- 21:03Speaker 4: want to talk about Cooper Pratt and add some other things.
- 21:05Speaker 4: So let's take it away Hunter Baumgart.
- 21:09Speaker 5: So I know, like you saw him a little bit
- 21:10Speaker 5: in spring training and obviously the defense is kind of
- 21:13Speaker 5: something that he got a lot of attention for coming up.
- 21:16Speaker 5: Just what do you see from him skill set while
- 21:19Speaker 5: I was over there, because it is a little bit
- 21:20Speaker 5: of a different field to six to four shortstop, Like
- 21:23Speaker 5: he's one of the bigger guys on the infield right
- 21:25Speaker 5: now and he's playing a premium position.
- 21:29Speaker 3: Yes, he coming into this, Like I give him and
- 21:34Speaker 3: his upbringing and the coaching that he's had at an
- 21:36Speaker 3: early age a lot of credit because.
- 21:38Speaker 7: Fundamentally, from a defensive standpoint, he.
- 21:42Speaker 3: Came in with very repeatable actions and then we've kind
- 21:45Speaker 3: of tweaked to some of the detail of it and
- 21:48Speaker 3: he's very proachable.
- 21:49Speaker 8: He's taken to that.
- 21:50Speaker 7: So not only does he have a baseball i Q,
- 21:54Speaker 7: but his his.
- 21:55Speaker 8: Actions are very repeatable. So I think the value.
- 21:58Speaker 3: Of him not only can he make the extraordinary play
- 22:03Speaker 3: and makes some fifty to fifty plays, but he is
- 22:06Speaker 3: his value is going to be his consistency over time
- 22:09Speaker 3: at a premier defensive position. He's got a love average
- 22:13Speaker 3: arm strength, but because he does things so fundamentally correct,
- 22:17Speaker 3: his accuracy is usually on point. I was kind of
- 22:21Speaker 3: glad to see him get one out of the way
- 22:23Speaker 3: there and the whole there was nothing. I don't think
- 22:25Speaker 3: he did anything wrong on that particular play. He lost
- 22:28Speaker 3: a little bit of a footing on his plan foot
- 22:30Speaker 3: and the throw got away from him, But.
- 22:33Speaker 8: You're going to see him make that play a lot.
- 22:37Speaker 3: So from that standpoint, even from the end of not
- 22:41Speaker 3: this spring pinion, but last spring pinion, my conversations with
- 22:44Speaker 3: Murph and and the rest of our coaching staff is
- 22:47Speaker 3: this kid is going to be a premier defensive player
- 22:50Speaker 3: at short stop for a long time, barring any injury,
- 22:53Speaker 3: and he's just going to continue to get better with experience.
- 22:56Speaker 3: So I've been really really happy with the foundation that
- 22:59Speaker 3: he has coming in and the things that he's picked
- 23:01Speaker 3: up on, the little details that we ask our infielders. Look,
- 23:05Speaker 3: you know, the engagement part that we've talked about the past.
- 23:08Speaker 3: He seems to have that aptitude.
- 23:10Speaker 8: Mentally as well.
- 23:11Speaker 3: So, Yeah, excited about the possibilities of those two kids
- 23:15Speaker 3: in the middle of the field.
- 23:16Speaker 8: For a long time hopefully.
- 23:18Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 23:18Speaker 9: I saw you guys work in that first day, just
- 23:20Speaker 9: kind of almost giving him the lay of the land
- 23:22Speaker 9: over there. What's kind of the some of the first
- 23:24Speaker 9: couple of things you do when a player like that
- 23:26Speaker 9: comes up.
- 23:27Speaker 2: And he's going to be a regular guy over there.
- 23:29Speaker 3: So use your instincts, right, But at the same time,
- 23:33Speaker 3: like be a sponge right now, because you got one
- 23:35Speaker 3: of the best defenders in the game of baseball playing
- 23:38Speaker 3: on the other side of the second base with you,
- 23:40Speaker 3: and spacing is a big deal in our defensive coverages,
- 23:44Speaker 3: and we can do some things with Bryce that frankly,
- 23:47Speaker 3: he's he hasn't had in minor league baseball as far
- 23:50Speaker 3: as positioning is concerned. Sure, So paying attention to where
- 23:54Speaker 3: he's playing, there's gonna be some subtle differences to where you're.
- 23:57Speaker 8: Playing in our coverages that he's he's been all years.
- 24:02Speaker 3: And Bryce through zero, like coaching for me or any
- 24:07Speaker 3: of our other coaches, immediately went to him and like
- 24:10Speaker 3: tried to make him feel comfortable as he possibly could
- 24:14Speaker 3: in his first couple of days here. And that might
- 24:17Speaker 3: be a credit to when you talk to Bryce, that's
- 24:19Speaker 3: probably a credit for the culture. And like Willi Adamas,
- 24:22Speaker 3: when Williadamas was here and Bryce came up for the
- 24:25Speaker 3: first time, Willie is a very very good teammates right
- 24:29Speaker 3: and very personal and was able to take Bryce under
- 24:32Speaker 3: his wing and like kind of explain the nuances of
- 24:35Speaker 3: some of our coverages and responsibilities, and so their their
- 24:42Speaker 3: in game communication is a big deal when it comes
- 24:45Speaker 3: to like who's covering the base on right handed pitchers
- 24:49Speaker 3: versus left handed pitchers, versus a pickoff versus a guy
- 24:52Speaker 3: stealing on a pitch, Like, there's some subtleties to that,
- 24:55Speaker 3: and communication is a big deal. And so they started
- 24:58Speaker 3: that immediately like it's not and new to them because
- 25:01Speaker 3: they've worked on that a little bit in spring straight,
- 25:03Speaker 3: but now being here on a day to day basis,
- 25:06Speaker 3: that would just that comfort level and that communication would
- 25:10Speaker 3: just build to where it becomes second nature to them,
- 25:13Speaker 3: hopefully in time.
- 25:15Speaker 5: I know you said Cooper's got the high i Q
- 25:17Speaker 5: and the good anticipation over there, is there anything that
- 25:20Speaker 5: he can still learn from Rice and the way that
- 25:22Speaker 5: he reads things, because we've talked a lot about like
- 25:24Speaker 5: Price's first step and his anticipation and how he puts
- 25:27Speaker 5: himself in a position.
- 25:29Speaker 2: Even if Cooper's got some of that.
- 25:30Speaker 5: Already, is there's still more that he can kind of
- 25:32Speaker 5: look at kind of on the other side and see
- 25:34Speaker 5: what Bryce is doing and learn from that.
- 25:36Speaker 3: And not only Bryce, but just you know, feeling himself
- 25:39Speaker 3: and watching his videos and his pre pitch and his
- 25:42Speaker 3: first step numbers aren't great, and to be very honest
- 25:45Speaker 3: with you, so that can be a that.
- 25:47Speaker 8: Can be a point of reference where we can get
- 25:48Speaker 8: a little bit better with the his timing.
- 25:51Speaker 3: Basically, if you watch his video and you track his
- 25:54Speaker 3: numbers over the course of his first couple of years
- 25:58Speaker 3: in his prep stuff, he has and see to be
- 26:00Speaker 3: a little bit late, so like at contact he's coming
- 26:03Speaker 3: up instead of going down into the ground, and so
- 26:06Speaker 3: that's a small detail, but it makes a huge difference
- 26:08Speaker 3: when you're talking about a ball getting through an infield
- 26:12Speaker 3: and him getting.
- 26:12Speaker 8: His glob on a wall.
- 26:14Speaker 3: Okay, So those are some of the things that we've
- 26:16Speaker 3: really tried to focus on with TWOFO and him the
- 26:20Speaker 3: last couple of weeks before he came here.
- 26:22Speaker 8: And then obviously we will stay.
- 26:23Speaker 7: On and here of making sure he's getting a little
- 26:26Speaker 7: bit better with the.
- 26:26Speaker 3: Timing of his of his prep stone so that first
- 26:29Speaker 3: step number can continue to.
- 26:30Speaker 8: Go down a little bit.
- 26:32Speaker 7: But that's all stuff pre pitch.
- 26:36Speaker 3: You know what he's doing after the bitch and how
- 26:38Speaker 3: he reacts and his ability to get in proper fielding
- 26:41Speaker 3: position is something that is really, really good, so we
- 26:46Speaker 3: want to maintain that absolutely.
- 26:49Speaker 9: One question about Ortiz shifting back to third base, and
- 26:52Speaker 9: obviously that he played basically all there in twenty twenty four,
- 26:56Speaker 9: hadn't done it until last night since then, is that
- 26:59Speaker 9: just kind of the natural okay?
- 27:00Speaker 2: He played there? Is there any other work that goes
- 27:03Speaker 2: into that from your.
- 27:04Speaker 3: Perspective, Yeah, it's it's all continuous work. It's always progress.
- 27:08Speaker 3: And to your point, he hasn't been there in a minute,
- 27:10Speaker 3: so it's a little bit different responsibility and look at
- 27:14Speaker 3: same side of the infield, which is nice and he's
- 27:16Speaker 3: very capable, But third base is much more of a
- 27:20Speaker 3: front back to position than it is lateral position.
- 27:24Speaker 8: At shortstop.
- 27:25Speaker 3: You have some time with your footwork pre pitch, I
- 27:28Speaker 3: mean after contact, to get your feet in rhythm. Sure,
- 27:32Speaker 3: at third base there's a lot of plays, the majority
- 27:35Speaker 3: of the plays, I would say, your feet aren't one
- 27:38Speaker 3: in rhythm, so you have to be able to drop.
- 27:40Speaker 8: Step to create in space.
- 27:42Speaker 3: You're catching a lot of balls not in perfect fielding position,
- 27:45Speaker 3: balls outside your frame, and then your.
- 27:47Speaker 7: Footwork after the catch becomes pretty dang important.
- 27:51Speaker 3: And then moving forward on choppers and bunts and throwing
- 27:55Speaker 3: off the run is much more applicable at third base
- 27:59Speaker 3: than it is.
- 28:00Speaker 4: I charge that.
- 28:01Speaker 8: So those are the kind of things we'll focus a
- 28:03Speaker 8: little more on Joey at fish. But I mean he's
- 28:06Speaker 8: still he's still the best raw fielder we have in
- 28:09Speaker 8: this roster.
- 28:10Speaker 3: Like if he gets if he gets his glove on
- 28:13Speaker 3: the ball, you're you're out almost every time.
- 28:16Speaker 8: Right, So the consistency of his his glove confidence is
- 28:22Speaker 8: off the charts.
- 28:23Speaker 5: Yeah, We've talked before about kind of Joey just like
- 28:27Speaker 5: how automatic it is, how coordinated he is, and how
- 28:30Speaker 5: big of a role that plays, and how good the
- 28:31Speaker 5: defense is. Do you think, like, between that and how
- 28:34Speaker 5: quick his hands can be, do you think some of
- 28:36Speaker 5: his skills will play up a little more at Like
- 28:39Speaker 5: certain skills play up a little more at third, even
- 28:41Speaker 5: more than they do at short.
- 28:42Speaker 2: For him at times.
- 28:44Speaker 3: Yeah, I think if you're talking about raw lateral ability,
- 28:48Speaker 3: like range ability, yeah, I think right now that's our
- 28:52Speaker 3: best setup we have Because he might not be as
- 28:56Speaker 3: gets as many balls as Hamilton or Terrang or we'll
- 29:01Speaker 3: see it with Pratt, He's got pretty good l all range.
- 29:06Speaker 3: So from that standpoint, that might fit the best, But
- 29:09Speaker 3: I love the versatility that we have.
- 29:11Speaker 7: Hamilton Ortiz to Rang Pratt, all.
- 29:15Speaker 3: Of them can play shortstop in the big leagues and
- 29:18Speaker 3: all have proven it at a pretty good level. So
- 29:20Speaker 3: the versatility that it gives him not only before the
- 29:24Speaker 3: game starts building a lineup, but what you can do
- 29:27Speaker 3: during the game, like you know, yeah so. And then
- 29:30Speaker 3: you have Bond, who obviously has spent most of the
- 29:33Speaker 3: time in the first base, but has now seen a
- 29:35Speaker 3: few innings at third. We're down in a game, right
- 29:39Speaker 3: and you're able to pinch hit a guy like Bonnie
- 29:41Speaker 3: and try to get back into a game and have
- 29:45Speaker 3: be confident enough that he can make a routine play
- 29:47Speaker 3: at third base is a big deal.
- 29:49Speaker 8: So I love the versatility that we have in over
- 29:51Speaker 8: the field right now.
- 29:53Speaker 3: I seem to say this every year, and I hope
- 29:55Speaker 3: I continue to have. But our versatility in the infield
- 29:58Speaker 3: is invested. It's in the last five years.
- 30:04Speaker 4: Matt Erickson with our own Hunter Poncrard and Jack Stern,
- 30:07Speaker 4: who is uh, those guys are the rising stars of
- 30:09Speaker 4: the Brewers media contingent amen and good stuff there and
- 30:13Speaker 4: getting deep into the weeds of positioning and like the
- 30:16Speaker 4: coming out of here is going down instead of up,
- 30:18Speaker 4: coming out of your ready stances. Pretty cool.
- 30:20Speaker 6: It did a great job of being able to explain
- 30:22Speaker 6: it to somebody that had no idea about defensive positioning
- 30:25Speaker 6: outside of hey, you staying there right like I mean,
- 30:28Speaker 6: and as dumb as it sounds, uh, you just you
- 30:31Speaker 6: don't understand the intricacies of it. And my wife has
- 30:35Speaker 6: been asking me this, and I've gotten this more times
- 30:38Speaker 6: now than ever before. What are they looking at when
- 30:40Speaker 6: they pull that note card out of their pocket? Not
- 30:43Speaker 6: of exactly that, however, in a much shorter code that
- 30:46Speaker 6: you already know what exactly that means, and how we're
- 30:49Speaker 6: going to play four or five different things.
- 30:51Speaker 4: Man, there's a lot we're going up bridge, Like where
- 30:53Speaker 4: am I playing? And this guy and what are they?
- 30:55Speaker 4: You know, what's that?
- 30:56Speaker 2: And I love that he's the world covert. Where are
- 30:58Speaker 2: we going?
- 30:59Speaker 4: It's like cover, like infield coverage you're protecting cause like
- 31:02Speaker 4: you're playing defense. So it's coverage just like a secondary coverage.
- 31:05Speaker 6: Sitting in cover four, waiting here in the back, not
- 31:08Speaker 6: letting anything get past us.
- 31:09Speaker 4: Interesting stuff. So yeah, years ago, and you know that's
- 31:13Speaker 4: the thing is baseball. When you're just casually watching it,
- 31:15Speaker 4: it's like so easy. It's like everything looks easy, and
- 31:19Speaker 4: like you don't And that's one of the things like
- 31:22Speaker 4: getting into it. Like I wasn't in baseball, but I
- 31:25Speaker 4: covered it. So I got to talk to these guys
- 31:26Speaker 4: every day, basically two or three times a day. I'm
- 31:29Speaker 4: talking talking to managers, picking their brains and the stuff
- 31:33Speaker 4: that you think just happens, Like there's reasoning and logic
- 31:37Speaker 4: and forethought and every play and every pitch, there's you know,
- 31:42Speaker 4: stuff going on. And they're moving guys because of this,
- 31:44Speaker 4: or they they move guys based on the count pitch
- 31:46Speaker 4: to pitch. They move fielders because the way that he's
- 31:48Speaker 4: gonna be in a protective swing and he's gonna and
- 31:51Speaker 4: he's more likely the odd say, to hit you know,
- 31:53Speaker 4: in this count, he's more likely to hit over here.
- 31:55Speaker 2: So they're moving guys.
- 31:57Speaker 4: And then the basic things about guys being ready, and
- 32:00Speaker 4: you know, you see it, and you watch when young
- 32:04Speaker 4: Carson's a little older and he's you know, playing on
- 32:06Speaker 4: a team in the right fielder's picking Dan lines, I
- 32:08Speaker 4: got his glove on his head, and there's a girl
- 32:10Speaker 4: in centerfield doing cartwheels because she'd rather be a gymnastics
- 32:13Speaker 4: and kids over here rolling in the dirt. Yeah, so
- 32:16Speaker 4: that stuffs gonna happen. But then when you watch the
- 32:18Speaker 4: big leagues, you think, all right, well they get paid
- 32:19Speaker 4: their pros. And then it was impressed on me. I
- 32:22Speaker 4: remember I had one of these long conversations like Hunter
- 32:25Speaker 4: and Jack just had with Doug Manzolino, Brewers coach at
- 32:27Speaker 4: the time, talking about like guys showing up for every pitch,
- 32:30Speaker 4: and he's like, just just watch guys, this is focus
- 32:32Speaker 4: in on him before a pitch, and watch what guys
- 32:35Speaker 4: do like in between pitches, and you know, are they
- 32:38Speaker 4: looking in the stands or are they kind of dialed
- 32:40Speaker 4: in and what are they doing? And then are they
- 32:42Speaker 4: showing up for every pitch? Are they like you know,
- 32:44Speaker 4: in the ready position? And are the scores bad? So
- 32:47Speaker 4: I'm kind of like more upright and relaxed, and it's
- 32:49Speaker 4: like it's those nuances that they see all of it,
- 32:54Speaker 4: and everything that happens in baseball is the result of
- 32:58Speaker 4: like a thousand little decisions and things that you might
- 33:01Speaker 4: not realize. But I thought I was like matd Arickson
- 33:03Speaker 4: coaches third and the other night we were watching and
- 33:05Speaker 4: it looked like one of the Brews guys ran through
- 33:06Speaker 4: a stop sign and scored on a close play. Might
- 33:08Speaker 4: have been Perkins, but oh Red heave o last week?
- 33:13Speaker 4: Was it last week?
- 33:13Speaker 9: No?
- 33:13Speaker 4: I thought it was. It might have. I think it was.
- 33:15Speaker 4: I thought it was Perk a couple of year round maybe,
- 33:17Speaker 4: But but Matt Arkson had like his left arm out,
- 33:20Speaker 4: and it's like, and I was watching with a guy
- 33:22Speaker 4: who was a high school coach on He's like, that
- 33:23Speaker 4: might have been a fake stop sign because he didn't
- 33:26Speaker 4: do both hands. He might have been one to let
- 33:28Speaker 4: the fielder think that this, you know, the left fielder
- 33:30Speaker 4: think that. It's like that's those are the kind of
- 33:35Speaker 4: like deep signs.
- 33:36Speaker 2: It's like stuff like.
- 33:37Speaker 4: That that goes on and every little edge and the
- 33:39Speaker 4: bruises have been accused of like giving relaying signs from
- 33:42Speaker 4: second base like given location and doing.
- 33:44Speaker 2: And that's been going on forever.
- 33:46Speaker 4: But everything that happens, like the chess matches in the
- 33:49Speaker 4: game within the game is fascinating and it's like we
- 33:52Speaker 4: accept that in football, like oh, we don't know, like
- 33:54Speaker 4: you know, adjustments and Xavier McKinney's telling Javon Bullard something
- 33:58Speaker 4: before the snap and you can kind of it, but
- 34:00Speaker 4: you don't really know, and you don't really know what's
- 34:03Speaker 4: going on in the baseball.
- 34:04Speaker 2: That's a fantastic point. And I think we grow up
- 34:06Speaker 2: thinking sometimes like you know, baseball is a great game,
- 34:09Speaker 2: but it's more straightforward maybe than like you know, basketball
- 34:12Speaker 2: or football, where there's plays called right and in your
- 34:15Speaker 2: head you don't think, well, there's not really plays called
- 34:17Speaker 2: in baseball, but there is in different ways. For what
- 34:20Speaker 2: all the things you just said is all the decision making,
- 34:23Speaker 2: the way that the way that coaches and players dive
- 34:26Speaker 2: into the intricacies of the game, even in it was
- 34:30Speaker 2: in the documentary and uh, just a bit outside when
- 34:34Speaker 2: you heard this long thing you've never heard about about
- 34:37Speaker 2: about the World Series and about robbing you out and
- 34:39Speaker 2: Malder and the way they whistled and moving each other
- 34:42Speaker 2: and he didn't hear the whistle so he would have
- 34:43Speaker 2: been a step over to get the all away. For
- 34:46Speaker 2: just those type of things you just never realized, like
- 34:48Speaker 2: that is. It's just pretty incredible to think about the
- 34:51Speaker 2: detail that goes into every moment in the game and
- 34:53Speaker 2: to sometimes affect those type of things. So it is
- 34:56Speaker 2: it is. It is kind of remarkable to hear it,
- 34:59Speaker 2: to hear a coach that in depth of thy you
- 35:00Speaker 2: remind yourself, oh, this isn't such a simple game. I mean,
- 35:03Speaker 2: it is, but it isn't all At the same time,
- 35:06Speaker 2: I also I hope it doesn't rain Sunday because this
- 35:12Speaker 2: is my day, a rainy day. I'm just saying, this
- 35:15Speaker 2: is my day, Father's Day, this is our day, guys,
- 35:18Speaker 2: all right, it's Mother's Day, this is our day, Father's Day.
- 35:21Speaker 4: We better have a good day. Damn straight.
- 35:23Speaker 2: It doesn't even rain or something like that. Father's Day
- 35:26Speaker 2: is like way down on the total way is way down,
- 35:30Speaker 2: dripping with sarcasm. If you can't tell it, it's way down.
- 35:32Speaker 2: Do we get Are we better than Sweetest Day?
- 35:34Speaker 3: Though?
- 35:35Speaker 7: Right?
- 35:35Speaker 4: Like, I think we're slightly above that in the pecking order,
- 35:37Speaker 4: because I think Sweetest Day is a complete concoction that
- 35:40Speaker 4: one's just made up. So if you not not that,
- 35:42Speaker 4: they're all like Hallmark holidays, they are.
- 35:45Speaker 6: But if you really fed up on February fourteen, we
- 35:47Speaker 6: just get it back on Sweetest Day.
- 35:49Speaker 4: Maybe I don't even know if that's like a national
- 35:51Speaker 4: thing or if it was like it's more around here
- 35:52Speaker 4: like kind of the Saint Nick tradition is kind of
- 35:55Speaker 4: a mid.
- 35:55Speaker 2: West It's calendars, I think it is.
- 35:58Speaker 6: It is, sure, I don't know, but it really was
- 36:00Speaker 6: a hey, uh, it's getting cold outside, so you might
- 36:03Speaker 6: as well wife something. You might as well get into
- 36:05Speaker 6: a relationship that's for the winter, so find somebody by
- 36:07Speaker 6: sweetest Yeah, better give us that was what that was
- 36:11Speaker 6: for the winter.
- 36:11Speaker 2: I'm sure every fourteen year old dude's like, I can't
- 36:13Speaker 2: spend another sweetest day alone.
- 36:14Speaker 4: You know what I mean? I was thinking more like
- 36:16Speaker 4: thirty four year old Well, yeah, yeah, arminus always goes
- 36:20Speaker 4: back to high school. I mean something like this therapy session,
- 36:23Speaker 4: our couch.
- 36:23Speaker 2: That is as possible. Yeah, slight cost of wind. I
- 36:28Speaker 2: don't know what that's about.
- 36:29Speaker 4: Yeah yeah. Someone on the text line made reference to
- 36:31Speaker 4: Armand's convertible Sea Bring, the Seabring convertible talk about it,
- 36:35Speaker 4: you know, but you took the flyer to Summerfest, but
- 36:37Speaker 4: you told the women that you had a Seabrink.
- 36:38Speaker 2: I didn't drive that. Yeah. I actually didn't get the
- 36:41Speaker 2: Seabring until I graduated college. But baby, but the thing
- 36:43Speaker 2: about the Sea Bring was it was a great car
- 36:46Speaker 2: to have in the summer. But the problem is your
- 36:47Speaker 2: friends always wanted you to drive because they're like, oh,
- 36:50Speaker 2: let's take armn take the take the top down, you know, like,
- 36:52Speaker 2: let's go. I mean it was the original arms off.
- 36:55Speaker 2: I mean that was the top down. I mean that
- 36:56Speaker 2: was a lot of fun. When I had all four upcaps.
- 36:59Speaker 2: They were always falling off that thing. But that was
- 37:01Speaker 2: a good time. But you always had to drive, so
- 37:03Speaker 2: you know, you take it as you go. A convertible
- 37:06Speaker 2: in Wisconsin was sort of like having a rolling compromise.
- 37:09Speaker 2: You were you you know, you're only good for like
- 37:11Speaker 2: two and a half months out of the year, and
- 37:12Speaker 2: you had to deal with winter the whole time. But
- 37:14Speaker 2: when that sun finally hit then it's like, all right,
- 37:16Speaker 2: this is the moment. This is the moment. But it's
- 37:19Speaker 2: just the way it was. Having the seabring. Thanks for
- 37:21Speaker 2: the shout out. Yes on the nick Layla all dot

- 38:01Speaker 6: get a marquee knight and tonight against that lineup, and
- 38:04Speaker 6: that lineup without Acunya. Again, when when you play teams

- 38:19Speaker 6: We'll see if he's back in there coming up tonight.
- 38:21Speaker 6: And obviously the strider injury earlier this week, they won't
- 38:24Speaker 6: see him this week, so it's a little bit different
- 38:26Speaker 6: Braves team. You're not seeing all of their horses. But
