The prizes are laid out. We're very excited about that.
So we look forward to that and we hope to
see you there. Right now, it's time for the word
of the day.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
I mean, with his words, the word of the day.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Today's word of the day is Fister. It's in Fister.
I didn't even know, and not the Fawcets Matt. The
Fister Hotel downtown Milwaukee, the place Mookie bets won't stay
Historic Hotels of America.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
I talked to Vassay via FaceTime there earlier today and said,
he goes, well, it's interesting, Matt. Why won't Mookie stay there?
Some say it's because he likes to spread out and
do his podcast and have his personal chef there. Some
say it's because the Fister is haunted now. It was
open in eighteen ninety three Romanesque revival style, uncommon in

(02:27):
its time. In eighteen ninety three when it opened, every
room had a thermostat control. Uh huh, electricity, fireproofing. Now
it was bought in nineteen sixty two and they put
on a thirteen story edition with a pool and a tower.
And that's where Vassay is right. So he's not in

(02:50):
the haunted part, but the players all stay for whatever reason,
in the haunted part. And looking it up, there are
many ballplayer stories of them being haunted by ghosts. Bryce
Harper says his clothes moved to opposite sides of the room.

(03:10):
That's weird, it said. People wake up and somebody feels
there's somebody in the room. Multiple ballplayers from Clint Hurdle
to Gimonchoi. Beltray came out of his room swinging a
bat because his air conditioning kept turning on and off,
flickering lights. And it's not just ballplayers. Even Joey Lawrence

(03:34):
says he felt it when he stayed at the hotel
once the actor. That is what is quote Joey, what
do you think about them ghosts? Whoa Gmnchoi said that
he made friends with the ghost.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Why isn't haunted Matt.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, he said it, you know, he told the ghost
that he just needed to rest and after that he
was fine. The hotel is said to be on a
burial ground, but no one's really quite sure. You know,
it's like, well, yes, move the head stuff. An indigenous
person might have accused them of that when they were

(04:14):
building it way back, but no one's really quite sure.
Some say Charles Fister haunts it just because he loved
the hotel very much. He was a big philanthrope sorts.
And there's also a story that a bride fell down
an elevator.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
Shaft on our right to put a damper on the reception.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
I would say it might just cancel the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
We've already paid for.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
The band Well, that is true, played Dixie. So that
is when you hear what's going on in Milwaukee? What
is this Fister hotel? That is the story of the
Fister very famous. And this was last the first year
he pulled that bookie, Yeah, I think so. But yeah,

(05:05):
maybe the first year he pulled it with the Dodgers,
I don't know. Maybe it was the first year it
made news. But last year was the first year he
had a podcast, right.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
Yes, so bang you know bang podcast clickbait.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Excuse me, Matt. Engagement farming.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
Oh yes, engagement farming copy quick surf, not fast food
for shame. Engagement farming not clickbait.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
You know.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
It's time for the number of the day.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
Here's my number. Number of the day. Number the day
is twenty and nineteen point two.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
I do not know, and I do not see a
lot of cans of liquid death. I don't know a
lot of people that drink it. But you do, I see, yes, yeah,
I'll see you with the can of liquid death water
from time to time.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
I got a twelve delivered every few weeks over here.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
Matt, twelve are a liquid death. It's canned water. Wonders,
do you drink No, it's just water.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
That downstairs fridge here.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
Yeah, tell me if this floats your boat, p I
will say it floats mine. As a as a man
with well white trash genetics coursing through his veins, I
am not ashamed to admit that back in my high
school days, working manual labor jobs, I like to drink

(06:25):
you who, Yeah, chocolate, chocolate, drink you who. Liquid death
apparently is trying to tap into that, like, hey, you.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
To the U who world like oval teae.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
Yes, hot fudge Sunday flavored water so instead of you know,
the chocolate milk kind of hitting you with a bit
of a gut bomb, the chocolate water, chocolate water twenty calories,
hot fudge Sunday shugable.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
And they've teamed up.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
They have a lot of flavored you know, low cal
flavors but flavored. Yeah. They have a lot like bury
it to death b r R war right right right,
you know, and stuff like that. They have a lot
of flavored uh uh, sparkling.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
Water, oh, sparkling. Okay, So they have teamed up with
Van Lewin, very popular ice cream shop. I think they
came from. I see them all when I visit Peyton.
There everywhere out there. But I do believe we have
some out here too, if I remember right, I think
I've seen some Van Luins.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
So they have to be confused with Doug Llewellen from
the exactly right rested Bailiff has some papers feet a sick.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
Uh so chocolate water into that? No, okay, I may
have to give it a go.

Speaker 6 (07:42):
I go for it. Connect four. You guys know how
liquid death was started by the way. I know it's
water in a can. But the founder was at the
Warped tour like fifteen years ago and saw people filling
up water in a can like these energy drink cans.
It's like, huh, I got an idea. He's rock concerts,
okay about water in a canon?

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Sell them.

Speaker 6 (08:03):
That's how he came up with them.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Interesting. I thought it was from that body that was
in the water tower at the Stillwell Hotels for.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
The bride that fell down the shaft.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
The fister. I didn't even know. So that's the story
of the Fister, dude. And now you know, and now
you know half the battle. It's like what we like
to say. I always thought the More you Know came
with a song like the More you Know, but it doesn't.
It's just the star and the thing.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
Yeah, the star, and there's like, yeah, you know, there's
still a lot to come.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Matt, we still have the Bachelorette report.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Oh Bachelorette last night, that's right, it was Monday.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Jen Tran from the Bachelorette.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
More or less likable this week, because so far she's
been pretty unlikable.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
I think you'll like her more this week. Okay, and
then denn and a live guy birth the other day,
and then Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck. Tim Kaits has Copack,
the gas throwing guy from the White Sox.

set your schedules now. I know all this and more.
All right, Matt, it's what everybody's been waiting for. The
Bachelorette report. Naturally, where do you go from New Zealand

(10:28):
and Australia, specifically the city they were in in Australia, Melbourne?
I believe they say Melan Excuse did you say Melon
Melben No excuse, thank you of course. Naturally, where do
you go from there? Matt? Melbourne, Melbourne and Auckland. You

(10:51):
go straight to Seattle? Yes, oh yeah, no doubt. They
are in Seattle, no doubt, no doubt in my mind.
Next week is hometown. So we're really getting down to
nut cutting time. It kind of feels like they're trying
to move it along Asian gin and her plump thighs,
but not Kates's Asian gim.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Kates does not like her, and I don't know why
I'm with him.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
There have been Asians on The Bachelorette in the past
that I would side with Tim Kates and Kates' is Asian.
This one is not one, So I guess we're some
potico on.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
This talking about an eyes far apart issue or what I.

Speaker 7 (11:24):
Think it is.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
I do think it is the snake like eyes.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
Okay, she has twisted and evil. She has a dumb
scavenger hunt date with Marcus, the Army ranger guy, and
they end up on a hot air balloon ballooning over Seattle,
and then they have dinner at the empty ballpark right
there on the water where the Marineras play. Just turn

(11:48):
her dear friend coming to town very soon. That all
ends well whatever. They end up at Seattle. iHeartRadio a
building I've been in many many times, to do a
terrible morning radio bit. But it's weird because they act
like they're on air, like everybody's got a mic, but

(12:09):
they're not wearing headphones and they're not talking into the mic,
so they're not really It's like a staged radio but
it's they're not really on the radio, Like the.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
Tea man's not there on a mic.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
The te is there, but and he's the mic is
kind of near, but it's not really. They're not really
doing it, you know what I mean, Matt, Right radio, No,
No one's wearing headsphones right, nothing anyway, So they did
like a fake radio bit, but it is weird, really weird,

(12:45):
and your guy Sam starts coming off like the true
idioty is what you have yeah, he has to start
talking for more than ten seconds at a time, as
radio forces you to do, even fake video. Oh yeah,
and they put him go. They put him in an
uncomfortable position, Matt, like the back back of the Volkswagen.

(13:11):
And here he is the downfall. Matt. You've been waiting
for this all I'm sorry I didn't get the back
of a Volkswagen quicker. I'm so excited. I can't Okay,
you've been waiting for this all year. The downfall of Sam.

Speaker 7 (13:22):
I would say, just fire and like strong passion.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
So uh yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
To say that.

Speaker 7 (13:31):
I've been doing nothing but falling in love with you
from the from the first time that we had a
conversation would be uh yeah, that would be a lie.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
I didn't know if you would be able to show
love the way.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
That I knew how to.

Speaker 7 (13:46):
And it literally took you giving a toast to all
of us saying cheers to a ferocious love.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
There is for that to be so unorthodox.

Speaker 7 (13:56):
And I described my love as reckless.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
I have been saying this since he got here.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
I subscribe my love.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
He talks for the life of him, but nothing ever comes.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
Out of his mouth.

Speaker 7 (14:05):
I feel like I'm somebody, like I said, constantly pours
into somebody else's cup.

Speaker 8 (14:10):
I'm sitting here listening to Sam and you can tell
she's like not feeling me answers. You know, she's listening
to what's being said, but what's being said isn't answering
the question.

Speaker 7 (14:22):
Yeah, I think with those two things, it's tough to
lose in a relationship.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Hmmm, I'm so confused.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
I don't know. I don't feel like his answers make
sense to me, and I'm not sure how authentic his
answers are.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
He's an idiot. Then they go to break, that's fantastic.
They don't really go to break. They act like they
go to break, but they don't go to break because they're.

Speaker 5 (14:45):
Not on air.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
I'm not fergotious. Only radio people would be offended by that.
No one else even thinks about it.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
No, but we should be.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
It should be pronounced and we should suggest yes, this
is offensive. It's an incredibly offensive past. Here's more of
him floating after the fake break at the radio station.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
What is it about me that makes you feel like
we could have a really great future together?

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Besides the fact that we both.

Speaker 7 (15:08):
Want this ferocious love truly your selflessness because I consider
myself a very selfless person as well. I know that
I'm selfless. I mean, you're either selfless.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Or you're full with one or the other.

Speaker 7 (15:24):
I can't swear right at the end of the day,
like I'm somebody that's trusting this process. I told you that,
you know, I don't think somebody that is full of
wood count twenty five guys.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
I should be that.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
Okay, yeah, this is what I want. Just say those
words out like I could answer.

Speaker 7 (15:39):
This question right now, I can.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
I know, I use I know.

Speaker 7 (15:45):
Also, this is how I know you're selfless. Actually, after
night one, that connection.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
That we had was hot.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
It was selfless.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
I don't understand it either. I don't get it.

Speaker 7 (16:00):
I'm so confused here, and truly, I feel like you've
kept me in a closets I mean selfless, dude, I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
I'm telling you, I don't know. There's a know the
definition of.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
He does not Sam's not really answering any of my questions.
He's kind of giving vague answers.

Speaker 7 (16:18):
I cannot express to you enough how serious I am
about this situation right here.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
I am frustrated because all these little moments have been
building up at this point in the journey. I need
to feel reassured and secure in our relationship. I don't know, like,
how can you be so sure about being an engagement
at the end of us with me? When do you
feel like you really know me?

Speaker 5 (16:47):
Honestly?

Speaker 7 (16:48):
You know, I told you from from early that my
love language is physical touch.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
It's like it's like, oh, he's gonna make that with him,
and so that doesn't end really well. And then there's
a one on one date with another guy and guess
where they go, Matt. They go to the Pike Market
and they throw the fish. Oh well, I haven't seen that.
They walk around and shop too, and then they dinner

(17:15):
at the Space Needle and that ends well. She is
unable to communicate with Sam. Once Sam is put on
the spot and asked to express his feelings or anything
about her that he actually likes, much like you and Kate's,
he doesn't see it, apparently, or he just can't say it.
Here is, Matt, what you've been waiting for for literally months?

(17:38):
Now I have the end of Sam.

Speaker 7 (17:41):
That's frustrating. I didn't think that today was going to
be my time to go home. Now it sucks but
the energy that she brought was very dull.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
It's not my fault.

Speaker 7 (17:54):
Yeah, this is one thing that I stand tenos down on.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
At the end of the day, it is what it
is is.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Wait wait, wait, wait wait. I just want you to
know that I want to stand ten toes down on
the fact that it is what it is.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
Okay, insightful, brilliant.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Got to keep the main thing, the main thing.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
At the end of the day, it is what it is.
I will always keep the main thing the main thing.

Speaker 7 (18:23):
And my main thing is finding that person I love
and the person that I want to spend the rest
of my life with.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
So yeah, it's just not might have I wish to love.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
It's just it's not right.

Speaker 7 (18:39):
Listen.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
I don't know exactly what love is, but I know
that that is not what love is.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
I really pride myself on reading people well and being
into the sure and I am so mad that I
got it wrong. It was a relationship in which it
was mainly physical. He didn't really try to get to
know me and have this idea of me.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
It's not me. There you go, Sam is gone. Yeah,
and then at the end, go ahead, Matt, Sorry.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
How did he make it through the screening process.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Making out hard. Yeah, and everybody needs a villain, Matt, Yeah,
you do. He didn't expect to make it that far.
I'm sure the producers that were connected to him didn't.
But there he is because of the makeouts. Uh, there's
always some physical connection that fizzles out around this time.
And then she sent home Grant, a smooth hoopster guy

(19:35):
with a chest piece. And then she sent home Spencer,
a dorky looking white guy with high hair like Colin
Jost and Spencer is so sad that he calls his
mom right.

Speaker 5 (19:49):
On the sound Hey Mama, Hey, oh my gosh, what
does this mean? I'm gonna say the home Oh baby?

Speaker 1 (20:03):
All right?

Speaker 4 (20:04):
Are you okay?

Speaker 5 (20:06):
Oh no?

Speaker 7 (20:06):
It just sucks like I couldn't be happier for someone
that she's funding a person, But I wish it was weird.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
It's just baby to our futures, to meaning our loved ones.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
I just want by perusing Baby.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
It's one of the best clips I've ever heard in
one of these reports. Crying to your mom who sounds
like she's like eighteen.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
You know.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
And I could have been done. I could have been done, right,
I had the three Sam implodes clips and that's good.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
That was a great day for me.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
But I stayed on until the end for I just
want my person.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
I just want my person.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
Oh baby, Well maybe that's why he said person, and
that's something else I.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
Just want by perusing Oh baby, Oh, sheunds like she's sixteen.
I just want my person.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Can I call my mom on the speaker right now? Jeez,
that sounds like that sounds like Ronnie's porn drop. Can
I call my breath the overly sexual mother?

Speaker 4 (21:34):
I mean, obviously they have to get consent from her,
so I assume they're calling her a head saying hey,
this call is going to be recorded. Well the speaker
she's performing. I don't know, but wow, that's super uncomfortable.
That's like that that mom that breastfed her kid till
he was twelve.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Mat that's wrong with that.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
Nothing man at all.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Sent home.

Speaker 7 (22:07):
Mom?

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Just want my person. No, it's not good there, It

ball slash horsehead show of record.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
My god, this man had an anvil between his shoulders.

Speaker 4 (25:29):
A celebrated actor, but more importantly, prior to becoming a
celebrated actor, greatest Generation earned a silver star in the
European Theater during WW two.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
Happy would have been one hundred and fourth.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Lawrence Neville Brand Nevil Brand born in Griswold, Iowa, raised
in Western Illinois, Kiwani joined the Army right out of
high school. Private Company F one hundred twenty ninth Infantry
trained at for Carson, sent out with B Company, the
three thirty first of the eighty third Division Thunderbolt the
r Den Primeland Rose and ranked a sergeant. Did you

(26:03):
say theland Matt did? Right off the hind River?

Speaker 4 (26:09):
I did, wow, platoon leader And during a fight along
the thei Sa River April seventh, nineteen forty five, right there,
toward the end of it all game near bled to
death when he took machine gun fire to his upper
right arm.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
Silver Star. Detail of the event.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
His platoon taking heavy fire, pinned down getting peppered by
German machine gun units set up in a hunting lodge.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Neville said quote was to flip my lid. I decided
to go into that lodge. Well, he took care of things.
He nearly died. A lot other people did. He did
not knocked out the hut. His men survived. He got
a silver Star for it.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
Discharged in October forty five, and he was working with
the Army Signal Corps on a film. He was like
the actual veteran that was working with Chuck Heston, and
Chuck was like, hey man, pretty good at this. So
Neville moved to the big town, enrolled at the American
Theater on the GI Bill and the role started coming

(27:10):
in nineteen forty nine Battleground Port of New York played
gangsters or Western outlaws because of his stature as hulking
physique in that Anvil of a Head. Hearts kept growing,
supporting role in The Prodigal and The Return of Jack Slade.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
He then landed the lead and Bobby ware is missing.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
When he came back. I mean, I know Bobby ware
is missing is big, but when Jack Slade came back, right,
it's the return.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
In nineteen fifty six, his star and his status grew
when he played the villain that killed the character played
by Elvis Presley and Loved Me Tender. He played Al
Capone and the TV series The Untouchables. Also played all
on a couple films. You hear the theme song in
the background. Laredo starring role fifty six episodes, seventies, a

(28:01):
lot of film noirs, so I would imagine, although like
no main characters, but I'm guessing you've probably done some
with our man Neville.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
He's a big, mean guy.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
He's a good mean guy. He's a hulking figure.

Speaker 4 (28:13):
Final roles came on Fantasy Island and Harper Valley PTA
in the eighties.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
Married three daughters, loved to read.

Speaker 4 (28:18):
He had amassed over thirty thousand books and had one
of the largest private libraries in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, his
Malibu home would burned down in nineteen seventy eighty n just.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Like the Universal fires the Patterson Money Show, all the
masters are gone.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
I mean they're gone, those thirty thousand books gone. Turns
out they're flammable. Passed away in ninety two. He was
seventy one happy, one hundred and fourth nevill brand.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
I mean, you do have to expect to take some
gunfire if you're going to be running around in Crimeland, right,
you know, the Germans are gonna shoot at you.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
They're gonna shoot at you.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Well, Matt, this one you might find interesting. Fifty two
years old today. Kevin Plank, Maryland Royalty, son of a
prominent land developer side some Reagan connected politicians. Politic politic.
He went to Georgetown Prep, same school as RFK and
the bid Wills, and then he left there and went

(29:12):
to Saint John's High and then he went to some
weird military prep thing like Eddie George did, and then
Maryland where he walked on on the football team. His
roommate sadly was a wrestler, and he was very close
with him, and he became a quadrip pelegic wrestling, and
he bought him a wheelchair, like a really really fancy

(29:36):
specialized wheelchair that he couldn't afford. So he was always
a kind of very forward thinking even as a college player.
And as a college player he created under Armour because
he said he sweat a lot as a Maryland walk on.
And I do remember it was around the time that
the Nike dry fit was coming out. We got a

(29:56):
box of free under Armour stuff at USC. I think
it was my last year or ninety nine when it
blew up and everybody was like, what's this. It's not Nike,
you know, and it was.

Speaker 5 (30:11):
It was.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
People were a little bit ambivalent, but it really was
an East Coast thing. His brother came up with the
name and the British spelling of armor, and originally the
business was run out of his grandma's townhouse in Yordugo Town,
Old Georgetown, and the first team that sold to them

(30:34):
and bought their stuff that blew them up was not Maryland. Matt.
I was just going to be a smart ass and
say it. Let me guess Maryland, Georgia Tech the Jackets Jackets,
and that blew it up in ninety nine. It's gone
up and down a few times since then, but pretty

(30:55):
impressive for a brand that was nothing twenty four years ago.
Competing with the big dogs. He got into early digital
diet tracking and mobile apps, which was really forward, you know,
before they outmatched. And that's that's right.

Speaker 4 (31:11):
I trained, when I trained for the marathon, I used
the under Armour track my run. Yeah, even think about
he had a lot of success with that. Even though
UCLA jumped to the Jumpman he bowed out and CEO
in twenty nineteen. He did have some kind of inappropriate
relationship as an insider trading with one of the MSNBC people.

(31:37):
Interesting and they both got, you know, questioned over it.
But fields a farm and trains horses, and no longer
is the CEO. Stop being the CEO.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
Five years ago, he's renovated a pier in Baltimore and
a water taxi and he's not sweating anymore, no literally
not sweaty. Married to a Filipino nurse and they have
two kids. Kevin Plank of under Armour and Maryland fame,

(32:14):
I thought Freezin was the first guy too, Matt.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
It just seemed like it would line up. You know, hey,
Alma Mater, walk on football. I got this cool new
thing going. How about a guy's no, not interested?

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Okay, maybe Maryland got it for free.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Take it to the jackets, shake no jackets.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Trying to think of like the greatest Georgia Tech football
player of all time, Alvin Johnson?

Speaker 5 (32:41):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (32:42):
I think so right? What about that big fat ass
running back dire close one in one A, Yeah, it's
the bat Shaky shakys dot com. Ladies and gentlemen, order
your chicken Emojo's right now and it could be there.
What will be there right before first pitch the stone bone,

(33:03):
as we like to say, is all the Mounte Dodgers
in Milwaukee trying to keep the good things going. Jim
Kate's coming up dock
