- 0:27Speaker 1: Hit us up. Let us know your thoughts. A couple
- 0:29Speaker 1: of plates spinning. We've got the Packers tonight. Billy's going
- 0:32Speaker 1: to give us a little forecast.
- 0:35Speaker 2: We're going to go on the line coming up here
- 0:37Speaker 2: in a little bit.
- 0:39Speaker 3: We're crunching some numbers here.
- 0:40Speaker 1: We will not be at Pottawatomie Sportsbook tonight for Thursday
- 0:44Speaker 1: Night Huddle.
- 0:45Speaker 3: So we told everybody that. There's a game.
- 0:47Speaker 1: We'll be up there doing Packers OT. Armin will be
- 0:49Speaker 1: working here. We'll be back in our natural habitat. Next
- 0:53Speaker 1: place for you to be watching the game is be
- 0:54Speaker 1: going over there to the Pottawatomie Sports. Yeah, we won't
- 0:56Speaker 1: be there, but there's more room for you to go
- 0:58Speaker 1: to get there early and watch. Oh, avail yourself of
- 1:01Speaker 1: the Brewers Phillies. We're watching both at the same time
- 1:04Speaker 1: in a glorious, glorious setting. So we recommend that you
- 1:07Speaker 1: go check out our friends. That's a good.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Point, Drew, because 505 first pitch, that game will be
- 1:13Speaker 2: wrapping up as the Packers are starting.
- 1:15Speaker 3: Indeed.
- 1:16Speaker 2: And it's the worst part about Amazon Prime. I love
- 1:18Speaker 2: their broadcast. I love the broadcasters. I love their pregame show.
- 1:22Speaker 2: The color, the crispness of the color. Oh, it's phenomenal.
- 1:25Speaker 2: freaking hate that I can't channel surf. So you don't
- 1:28Speaker 2: have to channel surf. You just let them do it
- 1:30Speaker 2: at the Pottawatomie Sportsbook for you.
- 1:31Speaker 4: The lack of being able to flip is probably one
- 1:33Speaker 4: of the toughest things for people about.
- 1:34Speaker 3: The streaming era. There's a convenience.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Would you live without a remote? Because I grew up
- 1:38Speaker 1: with a TV and they didn't have a remote. You
- 1:40Speaker 1: had to walk up and change the channel physically.
- 1:42Speaker 3: How about that?
- 1:43Speaker 2: So my kids are never going to understand that struggle.
- 1:45Speaker 2: But the tough thing is dad sits on the remote
- 1:49Speaker 2: and then it just gets eaten by the couch so
- 1:50Speaker 2: many times that I live without it quite often. But
- 1:54Speaker 2: we have this super handy dandy app that now will
- 1:58Speaker 2: be your remote when it works. Now, that would be
- 2:02Speaker 2: the one, Drew.
- 2:03Speaker 3: I installed that, too.
- 2:05Speaker 2: Oh, where you really start wondering, man, maybe it was
- 2:08Speaker 2: smarter when they just had dials on these things. And
- 2:10Speaker 2: all I knew that I had to get up because
- 2:13Speaker 2: here I am in year of our Lord, 2026, going
- 2:15Speaker 2: up and changing it.
- 2:17Speaker 1: And we have a couple of them here, the Roku
- 2:19Speaker 1: remotes that don't have the numbers. You can't just punch
- 2:21Speaker 1: in the number you want. You have to flip and
- 2:23Speaker 1: scroll and click the wheel.
- 2:25Speaker 3: That sucks as well.
- 2:26Speaker 1: So, yeah, we're talking modern conveniences because I left my
- 2:29Speaker 1: laptop at home.
- 2:29Speaker 3: Both of them.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Also, the ones that can really go to die on
- 2:33Speaker 2: that Roku remote that you have right there is the
- 2:37Speaker 2: buttons for the volume on the side of the remote.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Put them on the front of the remote and give
- 2:42Speaker 2: it a real button because somebody is inevitably just going
- 2:44Speaker 2: to hold that thing when they're sweating out a bet,
- 2:47Speaker 2: roll that thing all the way up to 100, and
- 2:49Speaker 2: then accidentally wake.
- 2:50Speaker 3: The baby up in the bed.
- 2:51Speaker 4: Good point.
- 2:52Speaker 1: I misplace the remote a lot, and there are times
- 2:54Speaker 1: when I'll be watching a show and engrossed, and invariably
- 2:57Speaker 1: at a time when a game's like it, it's... It's
- 3:00Speaker 1: inflection point or, and then the dog will jump off
- 3:03Speaker 1: the couch, step on the remote and change the channel. Yeah.
- 3:07Speaker 4: Now, I've got the Roku that didn't have the volume
- 3:10Speaker 4: on the side, like the older one, and I got
- 3:13Speaker 4: a newer one that does. So it depends on the TV.
- 3:15Speaker 4: And I've come to enjoy the volume on the side
- 3:18Speaker 4: because if I'm in the dark and I'm sleeping, I
- 3:21Speaker 4: know I can feel around to where my buttons are.
- 3:23Speaker 4: And I want to be able to feel in the
- 3:25Speaker 4: dark because I know where to turn the– and, you know,
- 3:27Speaker 4: I like to watch TV in bed sometimes, obviously, and
- 3:29Speaker 4: put the sleep timer on. I can do all that. So,
- 3:33Speaker 4: you know, I was thinking, like, I prefer it, but
- 3:35Speaker 4: then again– Little Lena does not have access to that
- 3:38Speaker 4: Roku because it's not there. So she might be the
- 3:41Speaker 4: one to adjust volume. She knows how to use the
- 3:43Speaker 4: phone already. It's really crazy. She knows what buttons to
- 3:47Speaker 4: push and how to turn on her shows. But the
- 3:49Speaker 4: thing is, you can't live without those now because TVs
- 3:53Speaker 4: don't work without remote.
- 3:54Speaker 3: That's very true.
- 3:55Speaker 4: I mean, they do, but not really.
- 3:56Speaker 3: Not really.
- 3:57Speaker 4: You can't really do it. You're not going to try
- 3:59Speaker 4: and deal with it that way because you live without Wi-Fi.
- 4:03Speaker 4: I would say no.
- 4:04Speaker 3: Watch people try to live without Wi-Fi.
- 4:07Speaker 4: They try to.
- 4:07Speaker 3: You're going to see people in a plane or like
- 4:09Speaker 3: in a coffee shop or something.
- 4:10Speaker 4: But that's not living. What the hell? Exactly, yeah. A
- 4:13Speaker 4: plane is one thing because you know you're up for it.
- 4:15Speaker 4: But it's like you can do a hotspot, though, on
- 4:18Speaker 4: your phone. And I've done that in the past. So
- 4:21Speaker 4: as long as you have a phone with good data
- 4:23Speaker 4: and a good charger.
- 4:24Speaker 3: Yeah, in theory.
- 4:25Speaker 2: In theory.
- 4:25Speaker 4: But you don't want to live that way, right? So
- 4:27Speaker 4: I think Wi-Fi is an answer the whole way there.
- 4:30Speaker 1: So what modern convenience could do without for a day–
- 4:34Speaker 1: a week, a year. I think the longer you get
- 4:37Speaker 1: into going cold turkey, the better off you'd be. Then
- 4:40Speaker 1: it's just over. Billy, you said living without a garbage disposal.
- 4:44Speaker 1: You wouldn't have thought that that would be possible, but
- 4:47Speaker 1: it is.
- 4:47Speaker 3: Yeah, 100%.
- 4:49Speaker 2: Listen, when I'm in college and that thing was the
- 4:52Speaker 2: MVP of the house, the only thing that did any
- 4:56Speaker 2: cleaning was.
- 4:56Speaker 4: The garbage disposal. Exactly.
- 4:57Speaker 1: I saw, speaking of college, the kids at my old
- 5:00Speaker 1: dorm at Sandburg Hall at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
- 5:03Speaker 3: Stand up, stand up, Sandburg Hall.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Elevators keep going down and kids are having to walk
- 5:07Speaker 1: like 20 flights of stairs and.
- 5:09Speaker 4: Stuff like, oh, those are tough. It's like it's not
- 5:14Speaker 4: a three floor in.
- 5:15Speaker 3: Shape, though. You're young.
- 5:16Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 5:17Speaker 2: The third floor was the worst one because that's where
- 5:20Speaker 2: I lived my freshman year because it was just tall
- 5:22Speaker 2: enough where it was very, very convenient. But it was
- 5:26Speaker 2: also short enough of a walk where you could tell
- 5:27Speaker 2: you call yourself a real fat. So for not going up.
- 5:30Speaker 4: Well, yeah.
- 5:30Speaker 1: And then buildings like that, the elevator is always slow
- 5:35Speaker 1: and they know it's.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Like, and you know, you're waiting for somebody to, if
- 5:40Speaker 2: you put, if people are getting the elevator and you
- 5:42Speaker 2: press that three or that two, they're going to be
- 5:44Speaker 2: looking at.
- 5:44Speaker 4: You and judging you.
- 5:45Speaker 3: Oh, they're eyeing you.
- 5:46Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 5:47Speaker 4: No doubt about it. I live on the third floor too, Billy,
- 5:48Speaker 4: but it was just a stair building. It was only
- 5:50Speaker 4: a three floor building. So it was, that's interesting. But yeah,
- 5:53Speaker 4: when you, I always said like, if you're, I was
- 5:55Speaker 4: in a seven floor building, Anything four and above, I
- 5:58Speaker 4: could justify for elevator. So, you know, that's why you
- 6:02Speaker 4: wanted to make sure you had to go to the
- 6:03Speaker 4: fourth floor. And if you had to go to the
- 6:05Speaker 4: fourth floor and walk down once, you would do it.
- 6:07Speaker 3: Yeah, then you're hosed.
- 6:08Speaker 4: You would do it. Yeah.
- 6:09Speaker 2: I'll say the other modern conveniences, we're talking about two
- 6:12Speaker 2: games in one time here tonight with the Amazon Prime.
- 6:16Speaker 2: The real convenience that I'm never going away from is
- 6:19Speaker 2: the second TV in the living room.
- 6:20Speaker 4: There you go.
- 6:21Speaker 2: As much as my phone is a great second screen,
- 6:24Speaker 2: And I can watch just about anything and sadly end
- 6:26Speaker 2: up doing that when generally one of them is commandeered
- 6:30Speaker 2: by Dancing with the Stars because we've got to watch
- 6:32Speaker 2: the Savannah Bananas guy on this one and Miss Rachel
- 6:34Speaker 2: on the other one.
- 6:35Speaker 3: Dad's watching the Brewer game on the phone anyway.
- 6:38Speaker 2: The two TVs is just something I can't get away from.
- 6:41Speaker 2: Even if they are at some particular point in my
- 6:44Speaker 2: RV living life, like when I... end up just selling
- 6:47Speaker 2: everything that I own and live in an RV, just
- 6:49Speaker 2: living off the land.
- 6:50Speaker 4: That's after geezer Palooza.
- 6:52Speaker 2: Well, after geezer Palooza, I'm going to try to get,
- 6:54Speaker 2: I'm going to try to get the RV from geezer Palooza.
- 6:56Speaker 4: It's going to be a great year of retirement when
- 6:57Speaker 4: you're driving around the RV.
- 6:59Speaker 2: Even if I have the two 28 inchers with star
- 7:01Speaker 2: link or whatever kind of, uh, Internet, they're sending out
- 7:05Speaker 2: in the woods. Oh, yeah.
- 7:06Speaker 3: You got to have the two screens for me.
- 7:08Speaker 4: Yeah, that's fine. I mean, that's good. You can watch
- 7:10Speaker 4: multiple things that way. I would agree with you there.
- 7:11Speaker 4: I mean, I've used the laptop for a while as
- 7:14Speaker 4: a second one, but you're right. I mean, it's not
- 7:16Speaker 4: that convenient because... And you got to make sure it's charged.
- 7:18Speaker 4: You got to find the wire. You got to stretch
- 7:20Speaker 4: it out. You want to do other stuff on the laptop. So, yeah,
- 7:24Speaker 4: that's a good one, Billy. Two TVs. I think once
- 7:26Speaker 4: you're used to that, you don't sacrifice. Once upon a time,
- 7:28Speaker 4: I thought I couldn't live without cable. And then I
- 7:30Speaker 4: realized I could. You know, when I had to. And
- 7:32Speaker 4: it's like, hey, you know what? You can.
- 7:34Speaker 3: You're paying for 10 other services.
- 7:36Speaker 4: That's the thing. You do do that. But then you
- 7:38Speaker 4: pick and choose a little bit. Now, it's getting worse
- 7:40Speaker 4: and worse as we go on, the streaming thing. But
- 7:42Speaker 4: it's like... You learn to live without what you don't have,
- 7:46Speaker 4: and you just become used to it after a while,
- 7:49Speaker 4: in terms of at least entertainment viewing options. You just
- 7:53Speaker 4: watch what's there.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Entertainment viewing options, Hunter Baumgart covering the Brewers for us.
- 7:57Speaker 1: He's our go-to guy. He's going to join us at 7.30-ish,
- 8:01Speaker 1: and we have a report from him last night, a
- 8:03Speaker 1: recap of the Brewers' win, victory number 99 for the
- 8:07Speaker 1: Milwaukee Brewers, who have set and continue to set franchise records.
- 8:11Speaker 3: Take it away, Hunter.
- 8:13Speaker 4: Thanks, guys.
- 8:14Speaker 5: Another historic night for the Milwaukee Brewers, this time in
- 8:17Speaker 5: Philadelphia where they got a 4-1 victory. Logan Henderson, another
- 8:22Speaker 5: great start. He allows just one run. He has now
- 8:26Speaker 5: started his career with 23 straight starts, allowing three runs
- 8:29Speaker 5: or fewer. That ties the longest streak since 1893. Zach Gallin,
- 8:35Speaker 5: also 23 straight starts to begin his career of allowing
- 8:39Speaker 5: three runs or fewer. Super excited to see what Logan
- 8:41Speaker 5: Henderson can do in October. And he said last night, boy,
- 8:45Speaker 5: that's what you dream about, right? Pitching in these big games.
- 8:48Speaker 5: Trevor McGill, 30th save last night. He joins four other
- 8:52Speaker 5: pitchers to have multiple seasons of 30-plus saves for the
- 8:56Speaker 5: Milwaukee Brewers. Dan Plesak, John Axford, K-Rod, Josh Hader, and
- 9:01Speaker 5: now Trevor McGill. 30-plus saves in multiple seasons in Brewers history.
- 9:08Speaker 5: A great night all around. Brewers, 99 wins. They have
- 9:11Speaker 5: four chances. to win 100 games. And it starts tonight,
- 9:15Speaker 5: 5.05 first pitch. No pregame show due to our Packers
- 9:18Speaker 5: coverage on Fox Sports 920 in Milwaukee. We'll have the
- 9:21Speaker 5: pregame show coming up tomorrow night when they host the
- 9:23Speaker 5: Cardinals for a weekend series. Not sure who's going to
- 9:26Speaker 5: start tonight yet. Bryce Wilson might be the guy activated
- 9:29Speaker 5: possibly from the IL today. But we know Robert Gasser
- 9:33Speaker 5: will start tomorrow. Dustin May will start on Saturday. And
- 9:35Speaker 5: then Jacob Mizorowski will start on Sunday. This report brought
- 9:39Speaker 5: to you by Import Minded, your trusted choice for exceptional
- 9:42Speaker 5: vehicle care on South 27th, just north of 894. I'll
- 9:45Speaker 5: join you guys at 725 to talk more about the crew.
- 9:47Speaker 3: Back to you guys. Thank you, Hunter B. Baby Hunter.
- 9:51Speaker 3: Appreciate it. Import Minded, thank you as well. Come on now.
- 9:54Speaker 3: And Bryce Wilson, rise up, dude.
- 9:56Speaker 2: Good good for Bryce Wilson as he's going to factor
- 10:00Speaker 2: in here in the game that everybody is going to
- 10:02Speaker 2: be 1000% dialed into. Now that they've locked up the
- 10:06Speaker 2: number one seed, they really only need to get one,
- 10:08Speaker 2: one more, two more of these drew as you did
- 10:11Speaker 2: the math for them to be able to lock up
- 10:13Speaker 2: all of the home field advantage throughout. But Bryce Wilson,
- 10:16Speaker 2: not only getting a ring earn in the ring that
- 10:19Speaker 2: he's going to get He might earn himself, if somebody
- 10:22Speaker 2: ends up going down some piece or some way or
- 10:25Speaker 2: shape or form in the NLDS. Sure.
- 10:29Speaker 3: There's a lot worse guys that I'd be handing the
- 10:30Speaker 3: baseball to than him. He's been fantastic. Knowing your role, too.
- 10:34Speaker 4: I was just going to say, no one's... excelled in
- 10:37Speaker 4: their role more than Bryce Wilson. There's a lot of
- 10:40Speaker 4: better players on this team, a lot more guys that
- 10:42Speaker 4: are going to go down, as we'll remember, that have
- 10:44Speaker 4: impacted winning and losing, but no one's embraced what they've
- 10:47Speaker 4: asked for him. You want to get cut me, hire me,
- 10:50Speaker 4: cut me again, I'll do whatever it takes, whatever you
- 10:52Speaker 4: guys want, pitch whenever you want me to, start, finish,
- 10:55Speaker 4: multiple innings, be on the team, be on the team.
- 10:59Speaker 4: No one has been more of a team player in
- 11:01Speaker 4: establishing and embracing their role than Bryce Wilson this year.
- 11:05Speaker 4: There's got to be some award for that. Literally, guys
- 11:09Speaker 4: got to let go and come back. It's just hilarious.
- 11:12Speaker 4: But listen, you might be right, Billy. Sports are crazy
- 11:15Speaker 4: like that. Maybe he'll have a big role and get
- 11:17Speaker 4: a big out and big inning in the playoffs that
- 11:19Speaker 4: we don't expect.
- 11:20Speaker 3: Hey, I didn't think Nick Mears was getting any outs
- 11:22Speaker 3: in the playoffs.
- 11:23Speaker 4: Exactly. You didn't think that, and then all of a
- 11:25Speaker 4: sudden he was the one. You never know when you're
- 11:28Speaker 4: going to need somebody to be the hero that night.
- 11:30Speaker 3: Love it. Robert Gasser in the rotation for sure in
- 11:34Speaker 3: the playoffs, Drew? That's a great question. He's pitching Friday night.
- 11:38Speaker 3: Miz pitches Sunday.
- 11:40Speaker 2: The way they're lining it up, obviously they can do
- 11:43Speaker 2: all the logistics that they want on an off week.
- 11:46Speaker 3: I think he might. That's the thing. Do you need
- 11:48Speaker 3: a fourth starter in a five-game series?
- 11:52Speaker 2: You just might just because of the days off, there's
- 11:55Speaker 2: only one, the one day off, right? Like that feels
- 11:58Speaker 2: like it might be a Saturday, Sunday off and then,
- 12:00Speaker 2: and then Tuesday, Wednesday. Oh, then Thursday off and then Friday.
- 12:04Speaker 2: So yeah, you probably could, you could do it if
- 12:07Speaker 2: you wanted to go three. I just, I think they
- 12:10Speaker 2: would go for, um, and you know, Hunter brought up
- 12:13Speaker 2: a good point there yesterday that that game three, albeit
- 12:17Speaker 2: he hasn't been nails at all, uh, That just might
- 12:21Speaker 2: be Dustin May. One, because of the hornet's nest that
- 12:23Speaker 2: you're walking into. First playoff game on the road in
- 12:27Speaker 2: that environment. Give it to somebody that's pitched in the
- 12:29Speaker 2: playoffs a number of different times before.
- 12:31Speaker 3: I do like that thought.
- 12:33Speaker 2: And granted, he pitched in one of the weirder playoffs
- 12:36Speaker 2: that we've ever seen. He was with the Dodgers in
- 12:38Speaker 2: that COVID one. They had to go and play at
- 12:41Speaker 2: Globe Life, but performed pretty well in that one, if
- 12:44Speaker 2: I remember correctly.
- 12:46Speaker 3: That is a concern.
- 12:48Speaker 1: But yeah, having him pitch now, Yeah, what about there's
- 12:51Speaker 1: guys who have different splits home and away?
- 12:53Speaker 4: Well, Harrison for a while had that.
- 12:55Speaker 2: Yeah, Harrison had that. Harrison was going to be the
- 12:57Speaker 2: biggest one. I think he's pitching himself right out of
- 12:59Speaker 2: that conversation. I would say. We don't have that one
- 13:02Speaker 2: right now. I would say he's iffy for the roster
- 13:04Speaker 2: to me. Bryce Wilson or Kyle Harrison, I'd feel a
- 13:07Speaker 2: lot better if they gave the ball to Bryce Wilson
- 13:09Speaker 2: in any spot.
- 13:10Speaker 3: Especially if you're only looking for three innings. Yeah, I'm
- 13:12Speaker 3: looking for something. Nine outs.
- 13:13Speaker 2: And most likely that situation is either you're up 8-3
- 13:17Speaker 2: and all I want to do is get three outs
- 13:19Speaker 2: to be able to get it to the hammers and
- 13:20Speaker 2: finish the thing, or... We're down 8-3, and I just
- 13:23Speaker 2: don't want to burn anybody else. I think Harrison, I
- 13:25Speaker 2: don't know that I'm for sure Harrison's getting you through
- 13:28Speaker 2: the rest of that game.
- 13:29Speaker 4: Yeah, no question.
- 13:30Speaker 1: Bullpen game today, then Gasser, and then who's pitching on
- 13:34Speaker 1: the interim? Because then we have Miz on Sunday, and
- 13:37Speaker 1: he'll pitch, what, three, four innings? He said May again
- 13:40Speaker 1: on Saturday.
- 13:41Speaker 3: May, Saturday. So May, Saturday, that would line up for
- 13:44Speaker 3: him to be right in there. Yeah, that would line up.
- 13:47Speaker 4: I think Asher's just been so good.
- 13:48Speaker 1: And Henderson's going to throw the simulated game for the
- 13:51Speaker 1: first one in the workout probably.
- 13:52Speaker 2: In the workout probably, yep. And whenever they end up
- 13:55Speaker 2: firing those up, I imagine they'll let people know.
- 13:57Speaker 1: I imagine they're going to open Saturday. So the workout
- 14:03Speaker 1: day slash media stuff will be Friday with both teams.
- 14:07Speaker 1: But I think, yeah, Tuesday. He'll give them Monday off probably, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
- 14:13Speaker 3: Light workouts. Tuesday, they got made optional, and then Wednesday, Thursday,
- 14:16Speaker 3: they'll get after. They'll really ramp up. They'll fire something in.
- 14:19Speaker 2: And listen, Saturday is get ready for another matinee Saturday
- 14:23Speaker 2: because I got to assume they will be the opener
- 14:26Speaker 2: of all those games that fire up.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Was it last year they did an open workout? I
- 14:29Speaker 1: think we broadcast from outside of the line of Kugel's. Yep.
- 14:34Speaker 2: They did an open workout because I want to say
- 14:38Speaker 2: Hunter was on the field for you.
- 14:39Speaker 1: Yeah, Hunter was on the field and we were there.
- 14:42Speaker 1: We were doing afternoons then and we were perched there
- 14:45Speaker 1: watching the workout. Trying to dive out of the way
- 14:48Speaker 1: of home run balls. We were sampling some of the
- 14:50Speaker 1: playoff food. Yeah, it was good stuff. Playoff food is phenomenal.
- 14:54Speaker 1: It was going to be impressive. But the tough thing
- 14:56Speaker 1: is they had it out and showcased a couple of.
- 14:58Speaker 2: Them the other night at the rally that we went to.
- 15:03Speaker 2: those tacos at the food truck stand are going to
- 15:05Speaker 2: be tough for me to pass up. Everything that our
- 15:07Speaker 2: chef is cooking up that he went and talked to
- 15:08Speaker 2: us on Andrew Vaughn Day.
- 15:10Speaker 4: That was great. I remember that.
- 15:11Speaker 2: I was a fan of all of it, but when
- 15:13Speaker 2: they wheel out that burrito at that Red Taco, I'm
- 15:15Speaker 2: going to be struggling to pass that up.
- 15:17Speaker 4: Hard to say no, which is why going back to
- 15:19Speaker 4: what you were saying yesterday about opening up the stadium
- 15:22Speaker 4: for the road playoff games, I know people are going
- 15:24Speaker 4: to want to eat. I know if you might sell
- 15:27Speaker 4: some possessions. We're hungry.
- 15:28Speaker 3: We're hungry.
- 15:30Speaker 4: I got a couple comments here. P. Chang on YouTube says,
- 15:34Speaker 4: Happy Throwback Thursday, fellas. Four chances to get 100 dubs.
- 15:37Speaker 4: Will Murph be the three-time manager of the year? If
- 15:40Speaker 4: we do, he had that question first. Then he also
- 15:43Speaker 4: asks how the O-line responds tonight. Let's blank and go.
- 15:46Speaker 4: I'll let you guys answer both on that one if
- 15:49Speaker 4: you want. Well, let's chew on the offensive line one
- 15:54Speaker 4: in a little bit. But the Murph one is fascinating
- 15:56Speaker 4: to me, Drew. I think.
- 15:59Speaker 2: He should have every opportunity to win it. I don't
- 16:02Speaker 2: think that it's a fatigue thing. I think there's probably
- 16:06Speaker 2: more deserving candidates this year. Not more deserving than him.
- 16:10Speaker 2: More deserving in competition of him. The last couple of
- 16:15Speaker 2: years he's walked in and it's been rather unopposed. This
- 16:18Speaker 2: year I could very easily, if they gave it to
- 16:20Speaker 2: Walt Weiss or they gave it to Don Mattingly, I
- 16:23Speaker 2: wouldn't bat an eye.
- 16:23Speaker 3: So I struggle to think he wins it again.
- 16:25Speaker 4: But you don't think it's a fatigue thing?
- 16:28Speaker 3: I don't think it's necessarily.
- 16:30Speaker 2: I think there's actually two guys that probably, that would
- 16:34Speaker 2: deserve it.
- 16:34Speaker 3: In any other year as well.
- 16:35Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 16:36Speaker 3: Mattingly especially.
- 16:38Speaker 2: And there's also like, it's the prognostications, the eggs on
- 16:42Speaker 2: the face of fan graphs. I don't know that it's
- 16:45Speaker 2: necessarily on the face of anybody else. They're the ones
- 16:47Speaker 2: that keep predicting them to win 82 and a half games.
- 16:49Speaker 2: People that actually watch the games and the ones that
- 16:51Speaker 2: are voting on it are the guys that are watching
- 16:54Speaker 2: the games being like, wow, I love watching these dudes play.
- 16:56Speaker 2: They play this way every single year, seemingly for the
- 16:59Speaker 2: last half decade.
- 16:59Speaker 4: The way the Padres have played. I mean, Craig Stammen
- 17:02Speaker 4: might get a look, but I don't think it'll be him, but.
- 17:05Speaker 4: And does Dave Roberts get overlooked because his team is
- 17:07Speaker 4: always good? They're supposed to win. Always.
- 17:09Speaker 3: Always.
- 17:09Speaker 4: And that's going to happen.
- 17:10Speaker 2: Always.
- 17:11Speaker 4: But interestingly enough, the Brewers haven't gotten to the point
- 17:13Speaker 4: where people expect them to be good enough to not
- 17:15Speaker 4: give him any credits.
- 17:17Speaker 3: That's true.
- 17:17Speaker 4: They still give him credits. Well, yeah. It'll be interesting
- 17:19Speaker 4: to see what happens with that one.
- 17:21Speaker 3: I mean, when you consider the youth of the roster,
- 17:24Speaker 3: nobody's doing it like they are. No, and that's the thing.
- 17:28Speaker 1: He absolutely deserves it. He deserves consideration because he deserved
- 17:32Speaker 1: the award. Well, we would say yes, but if you
- 17:35Speaker 1: look at it, like you said, you can make the
- 17:37Speaker 1: case for a couple other guys.
- 17:38Speaker 2: There would be plenty of years where if this insert
- 17:41Speaker 2: a name here would have won it, I would have
- 17:43Speaker 2: laughed and said that's folly. This one, I don't know.
- 17:47Speaker 2: We all expected that they were going to be pretty
- 17:48Speaker 2: damn good, and they were. And let's say it now.
- 17:51Speaker 2: Craig Council, as manager of the Brewers, never won a
- 17:53Speaker 2: manager of the year award. He should have won it
- 17:55Speaker 2: at least once, if not twice. He definitely should have
- 17:57Speaker 2: won an 18. That was the travesty of the year.
- 18:01Speaker 3: Absolutely. Bizarre. When we come back, Scott Dolphin is going
- 18:04Speaker 3: to pop in. We've reached halftime.
- 18:06Speaker 2: Oh, baby.
- 18:08Speaker 3: When are we going to do the on-the-line thing? I
- 18:10Speaker 3: was going to say right after Dolph.
- 18:11Speaker 2: You want me to walk the line and get everybody
- 18:15Speaker 2: on the line and figure it out at Pottawatomie Sportsbook?
- 18:16Speaker 3: After Dolph.
- 18:17Speaker 1: Yeah, let's do that. We'll figure it out. And then
- 18:19Speaker 1: Hunter joins us again at 725. Scott Dolphin is up next.
- 18:22Speaker 1: You're in the huddle, Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. Drew Billion-Armin,
- 18:29Speaker 1: it's halftime of the huddle. Game day in the good land.
- 18:33Speaker 1: Packers play tonight. Home opener against the Falcons. Thursday night football.
- 18:37Speaker 1: But we have business to take care of first. Scott
- 18:40Speaker 1: Dolphins here. Halftime correspondent from the country station down the hall.
- 18:42Speaker 3: FM 106. Good morning, Dolph. Fellas, you see that moon
- 18:45Speaker 3: this morning?
- 18:46Speaker 4: Glorious.
- 18:47Speaker 2: I just went out there and checked it out again
- 18:48Speaker 2: during the break at the top of the hour.
- 18:50Speaker 4: Oh my God.
- 18:51Speaker 3: I was oblivious. I had to look it up. I
- 18:53Speaker 3: should have known this. It's the harvest moon.
- 18:54Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 18:55Speaker 3: Which happens at the end of September. A giant orange
- 18:57Speaker 3: ball in the sky. Yeah, yeah, it's pretty incredible.
- 19:00Speaker 6: They say this one is bigger and brighter than most
- 19:02Speaker 6: because it, I don't know, there's science behind this, but
- 19:04Speaker 6: that's why it looks so big in the sky. Apparently
- 19:06Speaker 6: that's why, that's when you harvest the crops.
- 19:08Speaker 1: Don't you feel like we're getting cheated a little bit
- 19:10Speaker 1: because it's only been in the 60s? Like we're getting
- 19:12Speaker 1: October weather now?
- 19:13Speaker 4: Yes, thank you. I feel seen, finally.
- 19:16Speaker 1: We should be up in the back half of the
- 19:19Speaker 1: 70s right now. I'm kind of digging it. Last night
- 19:22Speaker 1: I went out on my deck and I'm like, ooh. Oh,
- 19:24Speaker 1: breathe that in, that cool, crisp bottom there.
- 19:27Speaker 3: The ball is here, Dolph. It is a beautiful win.
- 19:29Speaker 1: Start thinking about a pumpkin spice latte and a chunky
- 19:32Speaker 1: sweater and your Ugg boots.
- 19:33Speaker 4: Oh, wait.
- 19:35Speaker 3: None of this 130 degrees on the field temperature. I
- 19:37Speaker 3: want to know. I want it to be a little warmer, man.
- 19:39Speaker 6: If I see another sideline reporter get one of those
- 19:42Speaker 6: temperature guns and go down and check what the synthetic
- 19:45Speaker 6: turf is.
- 19:46Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what we use on the Blackstone. We don't
- 19:49Speaker 3: need to use that on football.
- 19:50Speaker 2: Turf to be showing people how hot it is in
- 19:52Speaker 2: Nashville and Jacksonville.
- 19:53Speaker 4: Kind of tired of that. It just seems like, I
- 19:55Speaker 4: get it's hot, but it seems like they're just going
- 19:57Speaker 4: for a big number now. It's like an elevated wind chill. Like,
- 20:00Speaker 4: is that really, is it really like that hot? Like,
- 20:03Speaker 4: come on.
- 20:03Speaker 6: It's right up there, Armin, with local reporters going to
- 20:06Speaker 6: an Ace Hardware store before the first big storm and
- 20:09Speaker 6: show how many shovels and bags of salt are left
- 20:11Speaker 6: on the shelf.
- 20:11Speaker 4: Yeah, I know. It is. But, you know, you got
- 20:14Speaker 4: to have a good story, sensationalize, not sensationalize, but, you know.
- 20:18Speaker 4: Get it, you know, get a little more dramatic.
- 20:19Speaker 2: He's trying to give you a little perspective of what
- 20:21Speaker 2: the guys are going through. Then you add shoulder pads
- 20:23Speaker 2: and a helmet on there. It might be a little
- 20:25Speaker 2: bit different. I'm not doubting it's hot.
- 20:27Speaker 4: I'm not doubting it's better to play football in this weather,
- 20:30Speaker 4: but I, okay. I do whine a little bit when
- 20:32Speaker 4: summer ends. Billy knows this. Yeah, but it is a
- 20:35Speaker 4: beautiful moon out there. Now, last month when the Packers
- 20:38Speaker 4: played their preseason game at home against the Cardinals, It
- 20:42Speaker 4: was a sturgeon moon.
- 20:43Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
- 20:44Speaker 4: And Wayne and Larry were, you know, speaking of the
- 20:46Speaker 4: Packers broadcast, Wayne and Larry were talking about that. This
- 20:48Speaker 4: is a harvest moon. It was actually a sturgeon moon,
- 20:51Speaker 4: but that was like a really bright, bright pink. almost
- 20:54Speaker 4: yeah this one is bright orange i'd.
- 20:55Speaker 6: Say yeah like drew said it's got like an orangish
- 20:57Speaker 6: yellow kind of shade to it.
- 20:59Speaker 2: But it's also how low it looks so big massive
- 21:01Speaker 2: i mean it's hard.
- 21:02Speaker 4: To believe that that's the same moon that hangs high
- 21:04Speaker 4: in the sky some nights and it's just right it's
- 21:06Speaker 4: nature amazing it's.
- 21:08Speaker 3: Like special effects out of a hollywood movie pretty.
- 21:10Speaker 4: Cool stuff but yeah if you're gonna go harvesting tonight
- 21:13Speaker 4: the harvest is there any harvest dances going on.
- 21:17Speaker 3: They'll get some big shots of that on Amazon tonight. Oh,
- 21:19Speaker 3: big time. Rolling it. No doubt about it.
- 21:22Speaker 4: Good luck to everyone picking their crops tonight.
- 21:24Speaker 6: The full moon isn't until Saturday, I guess. So you'll
- 21:26Speaker 6: probably also get great shots during the Badger-Penn State game.
- 21:29Speaker 3: There you go. That's good.
- 21:31Speaker 2: Listen, and that game is going to be a welcome
- 21:34Speaker 2: to the Big Ten, Mr.
- 21:35Speaker 4: Cyclone.
- 21:36Speaker 3: Sorry, Matt Campbell. I know it's been nice and happy.
- 21:39Speaker 2: Really? And it's been really nice and fun in Happy Valley.
- 21:41Speaker 2: I would not be shocked if Bucky hangs in this one.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Of course, that's me being biased as an Iowa fan
- 21:51Speaker 2: because most of that roster is wearing Nittany Line colors,
- 21:55Speaker 2: were Cyclones last year.
- 21:56Speaker 3: There was a lot of maroon on that roster.
- 21:58Speaker 4: Yeah, so I.
- 21:59Speaker 3: Mean, they're certainly good. Stupid red, they want to call
- 22:01Speaker 3: themselves over there. Right, exactly.
- 22:03Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say the way Wisconsin played Saturday, I
- 22:05Speaker 6: know it's Eastern Michigan, but they look good.
- 22:07Speaker 2: Listen, they can run. I think they're going to be
- 22:09Speaker 2: able to run the football. Abu Sama going to be back,
- 22:11Speaker 2: ready to roll, and Colton Joseph dialing in with a
- 22:14Speaker 2: couple of these receivers. It'd be nice if we could
- 22:16Speaker 2: get Malachi Coleman back. It'd be very nice if we
- 22:18Speaker 2: could get him for sure back, but Chris Brooks looks
- 22:20Speaker 2: like something in the secondary.
- 22:22Speaker 4: Now, I just.
- 22:24Speaker 2: there's plenty of time to be talking college football, but
- 22:26Speaker 2: there's nothing funnier to me that Hank Brown, if there's
- 22:30Speaker 2: any quarterback that sounds like a country music singer is
- 22:32Speaker 2: playing for dolls. I walk.
- 22:34Speaker 3: And he's from Nashville. He's from Nashville. Yeah. That's the,
- 22:38Speaker 3: you couldn't write it. And when you.
- 22:40Speaker 2: Throw a mandolin on the side, well, when he throws
- 22:41Speaker 2: his ball cap on too, it looks like a little
- 22:43Speaker 2: bit of a nice little blonde mullet. It's a perfect
- 22:46Speaker 2: look for what Hank Brown should look like.
- 22:48Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 22:48Speaker 3: Hank Brown is doing playing quarterback of the Hawks.
- 22:50Speaker 6: All right.
- 22:50Speaker 4: Best country singers of all time. Name Hank. Hank Williams, obviously.
- 22:55Speaker 3: He's the GOAT.
- 22:55Speaker 4: Right.
- 22:56Speaker 3: Right at the top.
- 22:56Speaker 4: I think you had Hank Thompson. Am I right? Oh, yeah.
- 22:58Speaker 3: Hank Thompson. All right.
- 23:00Speaker 4: Six Pack to go. I remember that song. I don't
- 23:01Speaker 4: know anybody else.
- 23:02Speaker 3: Hank Hill. Hank Hill.
- 23:05Speaker 4: God dang it, Bobby.
- 23:10Speaker 3: I love it.
- 23:11Speaker 4: All right. All right, all right. Let's do it right now.
- 23:13Speaker 4: It's a good one.
- 23:14Speaker 3: Let's do it right now.
- 23:14Speaker 4: I named two. All right.
- 23:15Speaker 3: I don't know anymore. Hank's one of those names.
- 23:17Speaker 4: That's all I got, but we got Dolph. I thought
- 23:19Speaker 4: maybe you got one.
- 23:20Speaker 3: Hank is one of those names that's short for Henry, right?
- 23:23Speaker 4: Correct. Hank Aaron.
- 23:24Speaker 6: There's certain names, you know, Bobby is Robert, you know,
- 23:27Speaker 6: what he built, but there's certain ones that you don't
- 23:29Speaker 6: really think of much, like Hank for Henry. The one
- 23:32Speaker 6: that always kind of scratched my head, I had a
- 23:33Speaker 6: teacher named Margaret, and they would call her Peggy.
- 23:37Speaker 4: Peggy.
- 23:37Speaker 3: Margaret Peggy. I don't know how that happens.
- 23:39Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 23:41Speaker 3: And that one, I never really understood.
- 23:42Speaker 4: There's all kinds of stuff. I mean, I'm not really,
- 23:44Speaker 4: I haven't brought it up yet, but Billy knows I
- 23:46Speaker 4: prepared too. Cause I love talking about names and pro athletes.
- 23:49Speaker 4: I mean, trace Mac. All right. Is a great name.
- 23:52Speaker 4: All right. Trace Mac. Everybody know trace max full name.
- 23:54Speaker 4: I learned this last week. All right. James Woodrow smack.
- 23:58Speaker 4: I think he should have stuck with Woody.
- 24:00Speaker 3: Woody Smack? Are you kidding me right now? That's good.
- 24:03Speaker 3: Have you tried going through high school with that being
- 24:05Speaker 3: your name?
- 24:06Speaker 4: Hey, and when you start kicking balls.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Smacking the Woody, dude? What are we doing over here?
- 24:09Speaker 2: You can't be rolling that. That's an adult film name, Armin.
- 24:14Speaker 4: Like, what?
- 24:16Speaker 3: He's not even taking his pet in the street that
- 24:18Speaker 3: he grew up on.
- 24:21Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
- 24:22Speaker 3: That's classic.
- 24:22Speaker 6: So this is a dumb question from a non-Packers fan. Okay,
- 24:25Speaker 6: is he Trey because of field goals or three?
- 24:28Speaker 3: No, he's the third. He's the third.
- 24:30Speaker 4: He's the third.
- 24:31Speaker 3: Anybody who's the third becomes a Trey.
- 24:32Speaker 4: You don't think his parents thought of Woodrow in 2000
- 24:36Speaker 4: and whatever, do you?
- 24:37Speaker 3: Woodrow Smack.
- 24:39Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
- 24:39Speaker 3: Woody Smack, that's an adult film.
- 24:41Speaker 4: That's, yeah.
- 24:42Speaker 3: You can't beat that.
- 24:43Speaker 2: People are paying big money to be able to utilize
- 24:46Speaker 2: that one in the industry.
- 24:47Speaker 4: Best kicker ever named after a former president, though? Just kidding. Hey,
- 24:53Speaker 4: you got to have a little fun.
- 24:54Speaker 3: What about Chester Arthur, Chester Markle? There you go. That
- 24:58Speaker 3: might be a win right there.
- 24:59Speaker 4: Well, I agree with you guys. It is kind of
- 25:01Speaker 4: a porn star name, but I'm going to stick with
- 25:02Speaker 4: it for a while. I'm going to try and make
- 25:03Speaker 4: Woody Smack stick. We'll see what happens. My nephew has
- 25:07Speaker 4: a cat named Chester Arthur. Oh, that's good. I love
- 25:10Speaker 4: Chester Cat.
- 25:12Speaker 3: Do you name your dog or cat after a human name?
- 25:14Speaker 3: I'm a fan.
- 25:15Speaker 4: Yes.
- 25:16Speaker 3: I'm always going to be a fan of that one.
- 25:17Speaker 6: I see where Leo made the top five cat names
- 25:20Speaker 6: according to some list.
- 25:22Speaker 4: Popular name. Yeah.
- 25:24Speaker 3: Yeah, the human names for the puppies, they're quite popular. Yeah,
- 25:28Speaker 3: ours is Opal, as a matter of fact. Opal was
- 25:31Speaker 3: in the office yesterday. We weren't here.
- 25:33Speaker 4: She was? I missed Opal?
- 25:34Speaker 3: Opal had a vet visit down the street, so I
- 25:36Speaker 3: ran her over here to iHeart. Your dog to work day. Yeah,
- 25:39Speaker 3: it was cool. She loved it. I think everybody else did, too.
- 25:41Speaker 3: She had a good time. She didn't pee on the floor,
- 25:43Speaker 3: which is nice. That's a win. That's a huge win.
- 25:45Speaker 3: That's why we can't bring the one-year-old in here. It's
- 25:48Speaker 3: just ridiculous. It's just everywhere.
- 25:50Speaker 4: Well, I remember when Fred Jackson was first in here,
- 25:53Speaker 4: and that's a wild one. Fred, the Shannon's dog.
- 25:55Speaker 3: Scared the prospector. Yeah, got the company-wide email. Oh, my goodness.
- 26:01Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 26:01Speaker 4: Oh, my goodness. There's an animal. There's an animal in here.
- 26:05Speaker 4: And he ran loose. There's an animal in here. He
- 26:08Speaker 4: ran like Fred Jackson. You know what I mean? That
- 26:10Speaker 4: dog ran like Fred Jackson.
- 26:11Speaker 3: He still does, yeah. Fred's an athlete for sure.
- 26:14Speaker 4: I like Fred. Fred was always friendly. I like when
- 26:17Speaker 4: he's around the hallways and stuff. That's pretty cool. We
- 26:20Speaker 4: haven't seen Jet, I don't think.
- 26:22Speaker 3: Not in a while, no, a couple years. By the way,
- 26:24Speaker 3: Fred Jackson, not to get back to Iowa football, but
- 26:26Speaker 3: Fred Jackson's son? He's a horse, man. He's a running
- 26:29Speaker 3: back at Iowa. Oh, man.
- 26:31Speaker 6: He's a track star. He had a couple tutties on Saturday.
- 26:34Speaker 4: Brayden, right?
- 26:35Speaker 3: Brayden Jackson, yeah. He can absolutely fly, and I'm excited
- 26:39Speaker 3: to watch him for the next game.
- 26:40Speaker 2: They've got enough backs now. I like this Moulton kid.
- 26:42Speaker 2: I didn't realize he was going to be a three-touchdown
- 26:44Speaker 2: kid in a game. I'm not a big fan of
- 26:47Speaker 2: how well they're playing on offense.
- 26:49Speaker 3: You mentioned the sun will be setting.
- 26:51Speaker 1: It's a 5 o'clock kick East Coast time for the
- 26:54Speaker 1: Badgers in State College.
- 26:57Speaker 3: What's the spread in that game now? Is it 10, 11?
- 26:59Speaker 3: It was at nine and a half yesterday.
- 27:01Speaker 2: It will go on in a little bit more into
- 27:02Speaker 2: the direction towards Bucky, but we got to go to
- 27:05Speaker 2: different institutions and find that one.
- 27:07Speaker 3: Well, all right.
- 27:07Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 27:07Speaker 3: It's like, well, that'd be a nice dub.
- 27:09Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 27:09Speaker 6: Teams are still, you know, this is the big 10
- 27:11Speaker 6: opener for both teams. Teams are still trying to feel
- 27:13Speaker 6: their way around at this point of the season. You
- 27:16Speaker 6: see a lot of progress made. And you're really kidding. Now, originally,
- 27:18Speaker 6: you're thinking, well, you know, Notre Dame is stacked, and
- 27:21Speaker 6: that loss.
- 27:22Speaker 3: That one got away.
- 27:22Speaker 6: But Wisconsin was in that game into the third quarter,
- 27:26Speaker 6: and then things went to south because of turnovers and
- 27:28Speaker 6: other things. But you look at Penn State. they really
- 27:31Speaker 6: haven't been tested this year. Who have they played? What's
- 27:33Speaker 6: their toughest?
- 27:34Speaker 2: They played Marshall, Marshall, Buffalo and temple. And the temple
- 27:37Speaker 2: game was on the road. And that being Lincoln financial field,
- 27:42Speaker 2: where it was mostly Penn state alums in that spot.
- 27:45Speaker 2: And I think that game was like a, seven or
- 27:48Speaker 2: eight point game at half.
- 27:49Speaker 3: Okay. And it was kind of a slog early. So
- 27:51Speaker 3: they've played well.
- 27:52Speaker 2: They've definitely pulled away from teams, but they're the, they're
- 27:55Speaker 2: one of the biggest case studies and the ones that
- 27:58Speaker 2: you're seeing, everybody trying the Signetti modeling college football. Don't
- 28:01Speaker 2: only get the coach, but so when you let us
- 28:05Speaker 2: know what quarterback are you bringing and how many of
- 28:07Speaker 2: those kids on that team are you bringing? How many
- 28:08Speaker 2: of your North Texas guys are you bringing to Oklahoma state?
- 28:11Speaker 2: And for him, it was Rocco Beck, who's played for
- 28:14Speaker 2: three years at Iowa State.
- 28:15Speaker 3: He's a really good quarterback.
- 28:16Speaker 2: And a number of different guys. Carson Hanson, their number
- 28:18Speaker 2: one running back at Penn State, too. Badgers got their second, though.
- 28:22Speaker 4: They did.
- 28:22Speaker 3: And Abu Sama might be having some for that guy.
- 28:24Speaker 3: I think he's the better one after watching him the
- 28:26Speaker 3: last couple years. I'm with you. Speed for days.
- 28:29Speaker 2: So I'm excited. It's going to be a fun game
- 28:30Speaker 2: to be able to see. And just happy Valley.
- 28:33Speaker 4: Just.
- 28:34Speaker 2: give them a little bit of frustration that fan base
- 28:37Speaker 2: is they want to be very excited but you want
- 28:40Speaker 2: to talk about one that will be consternated very quickly
- 28:44Speaker 2: and frustrated very quickly it is always Penn.
- 28:46Speaker 1: State just ask James Franklin So if that game kicks
- 28:48Speaker 1: 5 o'clock, it'll be getting dark towards the end.
- 28:51Speaker 3: It'll be majestic. It should be cool shots.
- 28:54Speaker 1: It's not really a night game there. It's kind of
- 28:56Speaker 1: in between because night games there have a different vibe.
- 28:58Speaker 3: That's a good point, Drew.
- 28:59Speaker 2: It's not going to be the full whiteout effect that
- 29:01Speaker 2: you get for the night game, but it'll be damn close.
- 29:04Speaker 3: It'll be close.
- 29:04Speaker 4: Yeah, golden hour.
- 29:05Speaker 3: Roll right through into it.
- 29:06Speaker 6: It's going to be majestic on TV. And this is
- 29:09Speaker 6: the time where we start thinking about our games and scheduling. Now, tonight,
- 29:12Speaker 6: for example, Brewers' first pitch.
- 29:14Speaker 3: Is 5 o'clock.
- 29:15Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 29:15Speaker 4: The Equinox is here.
- 29:17Speaker 2: So that game might be over by kickoff. It could be,
- 29:23Speaker 2: but like there's a, that's the tough part here. Dolphin.
- 29:26Speaker 2: One of the reasons why Pottawatomie sports books, a great
- 29:29Speaker 2: place for a Thursday night is otherwise you're gonna be
- 29:32Speaker 2: sitting there eighth inning and you're going to have to decide,
- 29:34Speaker 2: am I going to be flipping this out of cable
- 29:37Speaker 2: to prime app every single time here? Or am I
- 29:40Speaker 2: just going to landlock myself on the football game or
- 29:41Speaker 2: the Brewers? Places like the Sportsbook are going to be
- 29:43Speaker 2: a must. And we mentioned last week, if the Brewers
- 29:45Speaker 2: win one playoff series, that NLCS is going to run
- 29:48Speaker 2: into Packers-Bears. And chances are really good they're going to
- 29:51Speaker 2: be on at the same time because we already know
- 29:53Speaker 2: Packers-Bears is a 325 game.
- 29:55Speaker 3: 325 game, yep. It's right in the middle.
- 29:57Speaker 2: And that Packers-Cowboys game the next week is going to
- 30:00Speaker 2: be right there in line with one of those games
- 30:01Speaker 2: as well.
- 30:02Speaker 3: And that's 720-720 kick.
- 30:02Speaker 2: We're going to have some delicious conflict cooking it. I
- 30:07Speaker 2: do remember a Brewers-Badgers doubleheader Saturday afternoon. Early Brewers playoff game,
- 30:14Speaker 2: and then I went to Lambeau for the night game.
- 30:16Speaker 3: Oh, I like that.
- 30:17Speaker 2: I like that one a lot better than the doubleheader
- 30:19Speaker 2: of the Badgers and Brewers that we got last year.
- 30:21Speaker 2: Because that was when the Brewers played the Cubs in
- 30:24Speaker 2: game five.
- 30:25Speaker 3: That's right.
- 30:26Speaker 4: Oh, boy.
- 30:27Speaker 3: One of those results was awesome. One of those results
- 30:31Speaker 3: was phenomenal. I won't ask you which one.
- 30:34Speaker 1: What was awesome was Matt LaPay missing a call for
- 30:36Speaker 1: the first time in his career and saying, sorry, I
- 30:38Speaker 1: was watching the brewery.
- 30:38Speaker 3: Sorry, I was watching the brewery.
- 30:40Speaker 4: He's the best.
- 30:41Speaker 3: What are you going to do, Taush yell at me?
- 30:43Speaker 3: What are you going to do? He channeled his inner
- 30:46Speaker 3: Harry Doyle on that one.
- 30:48Speaker 4: Mike Witt had a question for Dolph. Well, first he said,
- 30:50Speaker 4: I can't wait until Hobby Week in Iowa, Wisconsin. Mike
- 30:53Speaker 4: Witt said, just bought two tickets to Kenny Chesney and
- 30:56Speaker 4: Eric Church at AmFam in July, and he advised Dolph.
- 31:00Speaker 3: Enjoy it.
- 31:00Speaker 4: I don't know. What would you say?
- 31:02Speaker 3: Make a day of it, Mike.
- 31:03Speaker 6: Tailgating is just like it is at a brewer's opening
- 31:06Speaker 6: day when Chesney is in town.
- 31:07Speaker 3: The parking lots are packed.
- 31:09Speaker 4: It's festive.
- 31:09Speaker 3: People are throwing beers to you.
- 31:11Speaker 4: Here, have a beer.
- 31:12Speaker 3: They don't care where you're from.
- 31:13Speaker 4: Pirate flags and stuff.
- 31:14Speaker 6: Pirate flags everywhere. You see a lot of blue chair
- 31:16Speaker 6: bay rum. floating around that's kenny's brand.
- 31:19Speaker 4: No shoes nation will be out in full force is.
- 31:21Speaker 1: That oh yeah and then cheryl crowe is i was
- 31:24Speaker 1: gonna say my advice would be get in early because
- 31:26Speaker 1: there's some pretty good music on the front of it
- 31:28Speaker 1: as well so you got to get your time your
- 31:30Speaker 1: your uh you.
- 31:31Speaker 2: Know yeah i was gonna say that's the tough thing
- 31:33Speaker 2: about the full day deal because you are gonna want
- 31:35Speaker 2: to get in for that one a decent decent amount
- 31:37Speaker 2: early so you do have to i know it's not
- 31:39Speaker 2: a fun thing to throw in there but wojo does
- 31:41Speaker 2: always let us know You got to mix in the
- 31:43Speaker 2: water depending on where that temperature.
- 31:44Speaker 4: Is going to be at.
- 31:45Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 31:45Speaker 1: I was at the Farm Aid show at American Family Field,
- 31:48Speaker 1: and it's a hazy memory for many reasons, but I
- 31:51Speaker 1: know I left early. But I don't remember what I saw.
- 31:56Speaker 1: Not much that stands out to me of that day.
- 31:58Speaker 1: It's kind of a blur.
- 31:59Speaker 6: Did you see Kenny Chesney? Do you remember seeing him?
- 32:01Speaker 6: He was on fairly early that day.
- 32:02Speaker 3: I think I saw him, yes. Who headlined that show?
- 32:05Speaker 3: Do you remember?
- 32:05Speaker 4: Mellencamp. He used to do all the Farm Aids.
- 32:07Speaker 3: No, I don't think.
- 32:08Speaker 6: Well, Dave Matthews, I think, was on that show, wasn't he?
- 32:10Speaker 6: Dave Matthews was on that show. And then you get
- 32:12Speaker 6: Willie and Neil Young.
- 32:13Speaker 4: Yeah. I can't imagine why I can't remember. That's... Willie
- 32:16Speaker 4: Hill Young. I know. I know.
- 32:19Speaker 3: It's a blur.
- 32:20Speaker 4: Were you helping the crops? Were you helping the farm?
- 32:21Speaker 3: There's a back story there.
- 32:22Speaker 4: Try to make a joke.
- 32:23Speaker 3: It's just for off the air. There's a back story.
- 32:25Speaker 3: Farm Aid, I think, is that this weekend? It's usually
- 32:27Speaker 3: right around now, right? Now there's a Nor'easter, so it's like,
- 32:29Speaker 3: who knows?
- 32:30Speaker 2: Oh, boy. Yeah.
- 32:31Speaker 3: That's not good.
- 32:32Speaker 6: And by the way, is anybody going to watch golf
- 32:33Speaker 6: this weekend? It's the President's Cup starting today at Medina.
- 32:36Speaker 3: Nobody cares.
- 32:38Speaker 4: No.
- 32:39Speaker 3: No. They ruined the PGA Tour.
- 32:42Speaker 2: And this is, again, where Armin and I get in
- 32:45Speaker 2: this with his tennis open. Move your sports away from
- 32:49Speaker 2: football season because then we can pay attention to them.
- 32:52Speaker 2: You know when I would love to be overtly patriotic
- 32:56Speaker 2: and scream at the Europeans that we're better?
- 32:59Speaker 3: In the middle of August.
- 33:00Speaker 2: When I could watch this, but now this being right
- 33:02Speaker 2: in the middle of football season, there's no chance that
- 33:04Speaker 2: I can, and I can't scream about how much better
- 33:08Speaker 2: America should be.
- 33:08Speaker 6: We'll at least DVR, or we'll at least cock an
- 33:11Speaker 6: eye that way during the Ryder Cup, right?
- 33:13Speaker 3: Yes, 100%. Not during the President's Cup. You can only
- 33:15Speaker 3: watch so much.
- 33:17Speaker 2: We've lost the Ryder Cup a couple of times, so
- 33:19Speaker 2: maybe we just start really dialing into the President's Cup
- 33:22Speaker 2: because we can win that one.
- 33:23Speaker 6: Apparently, we've also lost the President's Cup. They said they're
- 33:26Speaker 6: going for their 11th straight win. in the President's Cup,
- 33:29Speaker 6: which means you're probably thinking back to, I don't know,
- 33:31Speaker 6: when Jason Day was one of the top golfers in
- 33:34Speaker 6: the world. Maybe they beat us at that point. This
- 33:36Speaker 6: is everybody else besides Europe, right?
- 33:38Speaker 3: Like the whole world, right?
- 33:40Speaker 6: The cat from South Africa won the British Open this year.
- 33:43Speaker 6: So there's some talent over there.
- 33:44Speaker 3: Matsuyama.
- 33:45Speaker 6: But, I mean, seven of the top ten golfers in
- 33:49Speaker 6: the world are Americans, and they're all playing in the
- 33:50Speaker 6: President's Cup, led by Scheffler.
- 33:52Speaker 3: This shouldn't be a match.
- 33:53Speaker 2: Scheffler was on a part of my take, and he
- 33:55Speaker 2: was hilarious talking about how much he– He might not
- 33:59Speaker 2: love this either because he is a football fan, and
- 34:02Speaker 2: he's like, we need to get this golf out.
- 34:04Speaker 3: Of the way of football season. Hook them horns, right?
- 34:06Speaker 2: I need to be watching Texas, and I need to
- 34:07Speaker 2: be watching the Dallas Cowboys and having them break my
- 34:09Speaker 2: heart every single Sunday. Nice.
- 34:11Speaker 4: I'm going to defend myself a bit. At least I
- 34:12Speaker 4: don't expect anyone to watch tennis like these golf guys do.
- 34:15Speaker 4: All right, that's all.
- 34:16Speaker 3: Armand, are you going to watch the Azerbaijan Grand Prix
- 34:18Speaker 3: and the Formula One?
- 34:19Speaker 4: I absolutely will not watch anything happening in that country.
- 34:22Speaker 3: I didn't think so.
- 34:22Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 34:23Speaker 4: Are you kidding me?
- 34:24Speaker 3: I didn't think you would.
- 34:25Speaker 4: Yeah, right.
- 34:26Speaker 3: Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
- 34:28Speaker 4: Don't get me started.
- 34:29Speaker 6: It's about to end. Mark Richards, who's now the public
- 34:32Speaker 6: address announcer for the Brewers. He was in our building
- 34:34Speaker 6: for a long time here. And he'd always come in.
- 34:37Speaker 6: You're getting up at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning. I'm like,
- 34:38Speaker 6: why would I do that? I'm up at 5 o'clock
- 34:39Speaker 6: this morning. He's like, F1, baby, it's Monaco. I was like, oh, okay,
- 34:44Speaker 6: thanks for the reminder. He was obsessed with F1.
- 34:46Speaker 3: So he was into F1 before it was cool is
- 34:49Speaker 3: what I'm hearing. Before the Netflix show.
- 34:52Speaker 4: He also never took his IP. I walk around hanging
- 34:54Speaker 4: from his ear all the time.
- 34:56Speaker 6: That fires me up. I see him at the press
- 34:59Speaker 6: box on the regular. Oh, yeah, well, tell him I
- 35:00Speaker 6: said hello and that I'm still not watching F1.
- 35:02Speaker 3: I'll tell him. I will absolutely tell him. I'm going
- 35:04Speaker 3: to see him on Friday night. He's a good guy.
- 35:06Speaker 3: I like him. I'll tell him that.
- 35:08Speaker 4: All right.
- 35:08Speaker 3: Speaking of PA announcers, the Lakers guy.
- 35:11Speaker 4: Oh, man.
- 35:11Speaker 3: What a legend. Most iconic voices in sports. Everybody only
- 35:16Speaker 3: knew him by his initials for the most part. Was
- 35:18Speaker 3: it L? I've come to think of what his name was.
- 35:21Speaker 3: I can't remember.
- 35:21Speaker 6: This dude was there for the Showtime Lakers in the 80s.
- 35:24Speaker 6: And did every game up until the end of this
- 35:26Speaker 6: past season, 76 years old.
- 35:28Speaker 1: He was hanging with the Jack Nicholson's of the world.
- 35:32Speaker 1: And he was as big a star in the forum
- 35:34Speaker 1: and the Staples Center as anybody.
- 35:36Speaker 6: Came through radio, too, by the way. Long-time LA radio guy.
- 35:39Speaker 6: That's awesome.
- 35:40Speaker 4: 43 seasons.
- 35:41Speaker 3: Yeah, how about that? It's a great run. Showtime Lakers.
- 35:44Speaker 1: How long has Eric Jensen been in the chair? He's
- 35:46Speaker 1: the ranking guy right now. He's been with the Bucs
- 35:48Speaker 1: since the Bradley Center days.
- 35:49Speaker 4: I think.
- 35:49Speaker 3: That's a great point. Him and the dude in.
- 35:53Speaker 2: Cleveland, who I've been listening to basically my entire life
- 35:56Speaker 2: with LeBron, I feel like those are the longest reigning
- 35:58Speaker 2: guys in those chairs.
- 35:59Speaker 4: Those are the guys that really will stay, I mean,
- 36:01Speaker 4: even sometimes longer than team broadcasters because they move on,
- 36:04Speaker 4: but those guys are stalwarts. It's true. Before Eric, it
- 36:07Speaker 4: was Jack Gallo, right? And that was it. Jack Gallo
- 36:09Speaker 4: and Eric Johnson, I think, unless there was somebody in between,
- 36:11Speaker 4: I don't realize.
- 36:12Speaker 3: I don't think there was. I think that might have
- 36:13Speaker 3: been it.
- 36:14Speaker 4: You know, Marquette fans like Jack Yabowski did it. It
- 36:16Speaker 4: might take Yabowski so long.
- 36:17Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 36:18Speaker 3: Interesting stuff. Dolph, thanks for popping in. Appreciate it. All right,
- 36:21Speaker 3: have fun tonight, fellas. Yeah, probably see you tomorrow. What's
- 36:24Speaker 3: left of us, we'll see you tomorrow.
- 36:25Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
- 36:26Speaker 3: Sounds good. It's going to be fun.
- 36:27Speaker 1: All right, when we come back, Billy's going to have
- 36:29Speaker 1: some investment advice for us, brought to us by Pottawatomie Sportsbook.
- 36:32Speaker 3: On the line. I'm ready to roll, and I got
- 36:34Speaker 3: some winners, winners, winners. Let's go. You're in the huddle.
- 36:37Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Drew, Billy, and Armin bringing it
- 36:54Speaker 1: to you. Game day in the good land. Packers and
- 36:57Speaker 1: Falcons tonight. Or as Dan Needles used to say, Flackens.
- 37:01Speaker 3: They're ready to rock. His favorite mistyping was Flackens and Gynats. Oh, God.
- 37:08Speaker 2: Billy, every single year I would fire one up. Billy, let's,
- 37:11Speaker 2: let's go behind the lines.
- 37:13Speaker 3: Shall we? Or let's, let's find a line. Let's find a,
- 37:16Speaker 3: you a beat on the line.
- 37:18Speaker 2: As you try to beat the book over at the
- 37:20Speaker 2: Pottawatomie sports book, bet above the rest, your sport, their
- 37:24Speaker 2: stadium over at Pottawatomie sports book, the best place to
- 37:27Speaker 2: go here. Uh, For a day where the Packers take
- 37:31Speaker 2: on the Atlanta Falcons and the number sits at 43
- 37:35Speaker 2: in terms of total points. Now, a little bit of
- 37:37Speaker 2: juice towards the under. One of the reasons why? Because
- 37:41Speaker 2: people are always going to want to bet the over.
- 37:43Speaker 2: Life's too short to bet the over. At 43, one
- 37:45Speaker 2: of the core is numbers and most common final scores
- 37:49Speaker 2: results right around 41 to 44.
- 37:50Speaker 4: It sits.
- 37:52Speaker 2: Squarely in the middle. I like the under here tonight.
- 37:55Speaker 2: I think both teams struggle to be with long standing drives.
- 38:01Speaker 2: I don't think the Falcons defense is all that great. However,
- 38:04Speaker 2: they have... been bit last week. They had two picks,
- 38:08Speaker 2: one for six against Carolina, and it looked a lot
- 38:12Speaker 2: worse than it actually was, I think, in the 34-3
- 38:15Speaker 2: game for their defense. I think the Packers' defense is
- 38:17Speaker 2: their best and strongest unit. I like the under 43.
- 38:20Speaker 2: I do like the Packers laying the five, even though
- 38:23Speaker 2: it is a little bit of a square number. Drew,
- 38:24Speaker 2: you mentioned it, that a large number of the money, 73%
- 38:28Speaker 2: at certain books, is on the Falcons, while only 20-plus
- 38:31Speaker 2: percent of the bets are being on the Falcons. That
- 38:34Speaker 2: means the biggest money betters, generally what they like to
- 38:37Speaker 2: call the sharp betters, like the Falcons with the value.
- 38:41Speaker 2: They can run the football and B. John Robinson has
- 38:43Speaker 2: ran it and touched it a ton.
- 38:45Speaker 3: Packers are going to have to show that they can
- 38:47Speaker 3: stop him. I do like B.
- 38:49Speaker 2: John Robinson's over on rushing and receiving yards right now
- 38:52Speaker 2: where he's At the Pottawatomie Sportsbook, it looks like 125.5,
- 38:56Speaker 2: mostly because he's had 263 over two games, and they've
- 39:00Speaker 2: had no complementary offense. They give anybody else with him,
- 39:04Speaker 2: they're going to give him the ball 25 times tonight,
- 39:07Speaker 2: and he's going to have every opportunity to hit that number.
- 39:09Speaker 4: He'll get that value. There's no question, right, Billy? And
- 39:12Speaker 4: I think it's interesting also to see what the Packers
- 39:15Speaker 4: running game will do because they've had notorious struggles. First
- 39:18Speaker 4: couple of weeks and there's some value there.
- 39:19Speaker 2: They don't necessarily, nobody knows for sure, but I think
- 39:23Speaker 2: a interesting line to watch would be the rushing yards
- 39:27Speaker 2: for the Packers, the offerings. are more towards Caleb Johnson
- 39:31Speaker 2: than Marshawn Lloyd. Chris Brooks had more plays and more
- 39:37Speaker 2: snaps in New York, and Caleb Johnson and Marshawn Lloyd
- 39:42Speaker 2: actually snapped more. the exact same amount of times on
- 39:45Speaker 2: scrimmage plays. So it feels like Johnson is trending, Drew,
- 39:49Speaker 2: in the direction of kind of taking over as the
- 39:51Speaker 2: first and second down back, and maybe Marshawn Lloyd a
- 39:54Speaker 2: little bit of a change of pace, and maybe it's
- 39:55Speaker 2: a little bit more of an even split. They have,
- 39:59Speaker 2: for rushing yards, Marshawn Lloyd at minus 200 to just
- 40:02Speaker 2: get 20-plus. His over-under on rushing yards sits at 24.5.
- 40:06Speaker 2: Caleb Johnson, 37.5. Folks at Pottawatomie Sportsbook are expecting Caleb
- 40:11Speaker 2: Johnson to run the football a lot more here tonight.
- 40:13Speaker 3: And so am I.
- 40:14Speaker 2: I like that over 37.5. He showed some burst, and
- 40:17Speaker 2: I think you get a little bit of wiggle with
- 40:18Speaker 2: number 26.
- 40:19Speaker 4: Really quick, that's got to be a tough one for
- 40:21Speaker 4: them to price because all you need is a couple
- 40:24Speaker 4: big runs to give yourself a big advantage to get
- 40:26Speaker 4: to that number. But when you've struggled so much to
- 40:28Speaker 4: run the ball as a team, obviously the number will
- 40:30Speaker 4: be lower. So good stuff, Billy.
- 40:32Speaker 2: You think Caleb Johnson can pop an 11-yard run over
- 40:34Speaker 2: 10.5 for longest rush?
- 40:36Speaker 3: Could be a fun one, too.
- 40:37Speaker 1: Pottawatomie Sportsbook, our favorite spot on Thursday nights, except for tonight.
- 40:40Speaker 3: And major holidays.
- 40:42Speaker 1: We'll be there on Thursdays for the Thursday night huddle.
- 40:44Speaker 1: All right, moving forward, we've got some awards to give out,
- 40:47Speaker 1: our daily awards, and Hunter Baumgart is set to join
- 40:49Speaker 1: us at 725.
- 40:51Speaker 3: You're in the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin.
