Speaker 2 (00:38):
Enlighten me? Does it have to do with the Dibbs
ice cream you were talking about earlier?

Speaker 1 (00:43):
No, No, not even a little bit. Well we can
have ice cream with little Frosty Friday.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
See, because to me, there's a difference between Dibbs ice cream,
which frankly I had never heard of before, and something
else called Dippin' dot Let's perhaps it's a regional thing
because they seem to be I guess cousins of one another,
dibbs versus dippin' dots? Are you familiar with dippin' dots?

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Of course, who's not familiar with dippin' dots. Dippin' dots
are amazing, They're amazing. Sammy Frosty Fridays. Give me your
best recollection of what Frosty Fridays are.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
What's your uh, what cool drink you'll be enjoying over
the weekend or cool concoction in sports you'll be tuning
in for?

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Correct? Correct, it's the idea of mixing cocktails or mocktails.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Okay, I see where we're going here. Is there a
litmus test on when you can begin to partake in
said beverages? For example, could it be retroactive to half
an hour ago?

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Okay? Asking for a friend?

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Okay? So so what concoction are you drinking with? What
sport are you watching? Right? It's like a little tip
of the cap to Steve Sabin, who I know does
broadcast here actually in Milwaukee, and he'll.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Oh, the great Steve Saban. I thought you were gonna
say Steve Sable for a moment there, the late great
impressario of NFL films.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
All right, Hey, how about while Doug? Oh there, Doug's back,
But how about we actually get this as started officially
with the little imaging.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
I got some beers, strike them.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
It's that time of the week to crack open a
cool beverage.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
It's frosty Friday. You gotta get that out of the way.
About little Hawaiian music underneath there? What's you in the mood, right, Doug?

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Doug? Oh yeah, where you head? What?

Speaker 4 (02:40):
All right?

Speaker 1 (02:40):
So this weekend, well tonight, I'll be going to Tyler Childers.
You guys familiar with Tyler Childers? Anybody? It's like full country.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
You're familiar with Brad Childress.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
That's that's ship.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Okay. I thought no offense to mister Childers, but until
I just frantically googled him moments ago, I thought it
was some sort of Midwest restaurant chain that I did
not know of. But he's a singer and songwriter, correct,
So he is going to be playing in Milwaukee tonight,
so I will I will check him out him.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Among your recommendation, So I'm gonna do. I guess I
gotta do beer I Mi Milwaukee? Right?

Speaker 2 (03:25):
How can you not? You must Okay, so he's playing
at an event called the Henry Mayor Festival. That's not
the kid who caught the home run for the Yankees
in the playoffs against the Orioles back in the day.
That was Jeffrey Mayor. Correct, all right, Yes, they're about
the same age as all.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
I'm saying, Jeffrey Mayor and John Mayor the same age.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
No, sorry, Jeffrey Mayor and Henry Mayor. That's the name
of the location of the concert.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
What about Michael Mayer, not the tight end from Rafasar producer.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Six degrees of Mayor and by the way, tied Childer's
wife to bring this full circle, is named Sonora may
But I digress. So I've been stalling long enough. My
answer because we are in kind of a unique time
because we've got Euro twenty twenty four in the Copa
America going on. I'm gonna go Euro twenty twenty four

(04:23):
the Switzerland Italy doubleheader, followed by Germany and Denmark, and
I'm gonna pick a beverage from another region of the world.
A Pina Colada can't go wrong there.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Can I say? You don't drink beer.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
I don't drink alcohol, although my on air performance constantly
makes the argument otherwise, doesn't.

Speaker 5 (04:43):
It, Doug. I hate to admit this, and this is
it's it's unfortunate for me, but I am a you know,
I'm well, Okay, the good news is I'm getting married
next year. I don't want to preference. That's that statement
with those adjectives. But I am also simultaneously, you know,

(05:06):
working on my on my handsome groom body. And because
of this, I've had to cut out beer a little bit,
because my belly is uh.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
I dispute that first. Yeah, First of all, congratulations once
she said you handsome, Yes, but you're off the hooks.
She already said, yes.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
You don't need to do anything for the rest of
your life basically to look good. You've already got the
job done.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
It's a good point. It's it's it's a very fair point.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
I mean, your wardrobe for the wedding can hide a
lot of beer. If I can be so blunt, don't
worry about it.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
That's true, you see.

Speaker 5 (05:49):
That's that's how I want to approach this. Okay, but
you're under pressure, but a little bit, and and listen,
I I do admit that when I when I go
for beers. I typically choose I pas and I pas
tend to be on the more filling side. Okay, and uh,
you know it's there. There is a little bit of

(06:10):
a gut here. Then I'm trying to trim back.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
So what you're in.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Radio, he's getting married.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
That's my point. He's done all the work he needs
to do. He's already landed what he needs to land.
He could let himself go the rest of his life.
It's okay.

Speaker 5 (06:27):
Well, I'm saying all this to say that I am
a big Seltzer guy. So this weekend, I think, and
to tie it in with with the wedding, my my
fiance is going dress shopping this weekend, which means I
get to hang out at home by myself for quite something.
I no, no, unfortunately the one and see me closed

(06:53):
a year or two ago. But I will be taking
it easy. In the afternoon, I've out the place to myself.
I'll have a couple of Seltzers. I've got the Giants
Dodgers series this weekend. Tyler Glass now pitching Saturday at
four o'clock. So, uh, I think that is that's how
I will spend my weekend because I get some time

(07:14):
to just hang out by myself, have a have a
couple of seltzers and and and watch some baseball, which
sounds great to me.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
By the way, here's my wedding tip before we get
back to uh the present weekend plans. Your feet are
going to be so sore at the end of the
wedding reception because I was shocked at how sore my
feet was because of all the walking around you're gonna
have to do as bride and groom. So that tip
in advance, Sammy.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Uh, it's time for me to replace the uh the
plants that I have in my planter pots outside my apartment.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
What about pot hoot? Sorry, they were.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
They were onions that bloomed and now they're kind of
past their prime, so I'll probably be ripping them out.
So I need something cold and light while I'm outside,
and I'm gonna start my Hawaiian music bed over again there.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
So you know I've been trying to avoid uh like
I think I mentioned this on Frosty Friday. Frosty Friday
last week, is I'm trying to cut out some kind
of like Ryan cut out some maybe some gluten out
of the beer, maybe drink a cold Asian rice beer.
I think that's a little more gluten friendly. Uh, you
know those are very refreshing. S I e. Kier and
Ichi bonds apporo, those are very good, are really? I

(08:37):
think I kind of dig a Saporo over like all
like an ice cold, frosty Budweiser is Harry Carey might say, but.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Harry Carry voice Ta.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
You all love ribs, ribs amazing?

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Pretty?

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Isn't amazing? Generation?

Speaker 1 (08:55):
People who don't know who Harry Carry is?

Speaker 3 (08:58):
You know Will Ferrell doing Harry Carey, which is a
more of an embellished Harry Carey, and then like guy
like Jonas Knox loved to pull out the Will Ferrell
doing Harry Carey. But a tall, cool frosted can't beat
that on the hostile to day.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
I mean, I mean, Doug, Especially for our generation, Harry
Carey was so instrumental in the branding that the Cubs
have enjoyed nationally to this day because of their daily
national exposure with Harry Carey at the microphone on WGN

(09:33):
back in the day, which during that generation was unprecedented.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
No, I mean listen, I was I grew up in
testing high school. Mark Race went to test high school.
So we used to sneak out of school and hop
the fence and go to Chicago Joe's Pizza two slices
and a coke for two fifty.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
The good old days, The good old days, right, it
can be a part of it was Friday.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
It was the only thing on right that braves games.
And they both stunk. But for whatever reason, the Cubs
games are more enjoyable because Harry carry hickable play. Have
you guys ever? Who was it who shared with me
how many bars he went to? They tracked how many
bars he went to in a year. Yeah, like it's
crazy number.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
That was me, and it was it was legitimately he
kept track of it because of h Yeah, well that too.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
But for Tiquas Bill across Chicago.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
For tax reimbursement purposes got reimbursed. Yes, that's why he
kept the log. So he went drinking for a documented
two hundred and eighty eight consecutive days, and each day
of drinking featured multiple stops and multiple guests. Absolutely true.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
I mean that's endurance. Like if you if you have
had a couple of drinks by like ten am, eleven am,
one pm, you're ready to take a nap, and then
that nap just turned into so you sleep the whole
night through. You're like, all right, it's hard to recover
from that. But that guy had some endurance, some stamina.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Oh my gosh, I mean years and years and years
of practice, man, years and years ago.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
Takes it out of you just to have a couple
before noon, you know, unless you're gonna go to a
football game or something. But Harry, it's funny.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
I actually had a cold beard and I was trying
to watch the NBA Draft yesterday. I couldn't do it. It
was just it was that was such a hard watch.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yeah, you're talking about the draft or something else was
a hard watch.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
No, well, I mean no, the draft was a hard watch.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
It was just I could think of something that was
a little bit more difficult to get through. But and
by the end of it where I needed hard liquor to, uh,
to decompress a little bit. What part he's uh, he's referring.
He's referring to the debate.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Oh oh yeah, that's incredibly depressive. Yeah, unbelievably press forty
eight main people watch by the way, Wow, Kaitlyn Clark efact,
that's what that is. H Clark effect. Somehow we got
to make Kaitlyn Clark part of that discussion, right, anybody
else we were good?

Speaker 4 (12:01):
We don't.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
We're just this.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
Kaitlyn will be back in action Sunday taking on Diana
Tarassi and the Phoenix Mercury.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
So trusty not a Caitlyn Clark fan.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
I think that Here's what So we talked about this yesterday, Doug.
Here's my thing on this. I think she's good.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
By the way, we need that Lake label sam our
resident Caitlyn Clark Propagandist right update, reporter of Propagandist go ahead.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
I think Diana Tarasi like she didn't have a lot
of enthusiasm for that question about what it'll be like
to play against keythen Clark. She's she's an older veteran
and she's just like, ah, this is just you know,
I'm on the end end. I'm at the end of
my time here in the WNBA. I got a year
or two left, maybe three, I don't know. She no,
she just turned forty two, so she's just probably her
last year. So I think she was just like, Eh,

(12:44):
you know, I've been I've been around like that old
grizzled you know, straight cat. That's just like nothing.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Can you stop giving her a pass?

Speaker 3 (12:52):
Why? That's how That's how I interpreted it. I just
don't think she cares. I don't think she's like being
you know, naked. I think if she didn't care, she's like, eh,
I played against thousands of women.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
Right, she's the first woman to bring attention to the
women's game, like Diana Trossi is occupying a spot that
could have been Kaitlyn Clark's on the on the Olympic team.
So what happened last night and lost to Seattle. Let's
go to our resident Caitlyn Clark Propaganda's Sam sam Well.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
I don't have prime video, so I didn't watch. I
don't video, I don't I can tell you the box
score angle. They lost by twelve, and Caitlyn again, you know,
I think she had like eight assists. You know, she's
stuffing the stat sheet. For sure, she had she had
a team high in points fifteen. But I don't know
if she's just trying to defer more to her teammates

(13:48):
and getting them the ball. She's not taking quite as
many shots as she did at the beginning of the year,
and she's I think her shooting percentage is up a
little bit like she's she's been more efficient.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
But I asked why they lost last night? Was what's
the answer.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
I don't know. I don't know. They got outscored by
twelve of it to a good Seattle team.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
They gave up more points than they got.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
That's exactly it. That's exactly it. And there's your frosty fever. Right,
So Frosty Fever Friday.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Drink esn't drink. I'm going I'm gonna have to go
with a Milwaukee brewed beer and watch Tyler Childers?

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Have you had since living in Green Bay? Now?

Speaker 1 (14:28):
I haven't had a liney yet. There's a lining lining
Google stand right next to where Tyler Children's going on stage.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
And if I'm wrong here, let me know. But I
thought I saw a lining Google's umbrella on your deck.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
You may have, Yes, Yes.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
You gotta get some summer shandies.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Food wise, how about cheese curds and other local delicacies.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Doug and the Pack had a couple of cheese curds
last night. They were amazing. Yes, they are a place
called the Iron Duck. I believe best cheese curds in
Green Bay?

Speaker 3 (14:58):
A lot of mallards up there in Wiscon.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
I had some mallards outside my house this morning, a
bunch of them. Ironic, you said that good old mallards
mallard ducks. I actually sent my my friends who who
duck hunt. I sent them photos this morning, like sending
them down to you, fellas, they'll be it. Yeah. I
actually have some sad news to share. I hit a

(15:21):
bunny crossing the road.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Oh, I know, doesn't happen a lot. And you know,
like you might hit a squirrel in southern California, but
not a lot of roadkill Midwest is like you know,
roadkill central.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
I mean it was a suicide mission from this bunny.
I mean, yeah, clearly it's not good. Didn't I just
do it? But I was that was sad. I've been
sad about now. My friends are giving me grief about it.
Hit a bunny.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
Better that you didn't swerve and then hit oncoming traffic,
because that's also true.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Also true one time I hit a deer. It was
in a zoo.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
Anyway.

Let Express Deployment Professionals help. Express is hiring for jobs

a fee at Express check out expresspros dot com. Find
location near you that's expresspros dot com. Have you guys

(17:17):
seen this, this NFL Sunday ticket lawsuit? I guess I
don't truly understand the grounds for the lawsuit. This feels like,
what a huge ruling, But obviously it's in California, very
much consumer friendly, consumer friendly court. But it was also
remember it's a by jury. You can go to a

(17:40):
judge and a judge will likely throw this out or
it'll go to the California Supreme Court or potentially the
United States Supreme Court. But really, the NFL is charged
with upcharging, you know, overcharging for NFL Sunday ticket, which
is crazy to me. Crazy to me because it's competitive
bidding process Direct TV and then at and T, which

(18:04):
you know body DirecTV. They had to pay a substantial
sum in order to get it and you got to
make money on it. And oh yeah, by the way,
even if it's three hundred and fifty dollars seventeen weeks, seventeen,
you know, seventeen weeks is the game? You're paying twenty
dollars a weekend to watch every game in the NFL.
I don't understand the grounds for.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
I actually don't understand the grounds for it either, while
simultaneously regretting the fact that I did not sign up
for Sunday ticket during the window where people are entitled
for damages. So I'm curious what the individual share is
per customer. I'm just saying two point four million dollars,

(18:42):
two point four million residential subscribers, forty eight thousand businesses
like bars and restaurants. But when you say anti trust,
what potential competitors were hurt by what the NFL allegedly did,
Because I'm not none can come to mind as far
as I'm concerned.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
No, I mean, see, yes, exactly, how can there be
if you have individual rights for it, how can there
be competition that doesn't make any sense?

Speaker 2 (19:16):
They wish they wish you and I were on the jury.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Apparently, I just again like I'm just one of these.
You know. It's like, what are your republican or debucated?
I'm just like common sense, I call a radical centrist.
But somebody explain to me how it makes any sense?
And if you didn't want it, don't pay for it?
You can still get NFL football for free on Network TV.
You just can't get all the games you want.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
I ain't paid for that.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
And the other, again purely rhetorical question I have, is
why are the damages four point seven billion dollars? I mean,
you know, when we're talking about what the whole thing
in the Aaron Brockovich movie PG and E that actually
did damage to the health of people. So if they

(20:03):
violate an anti trust laws, you know, that's one thing.
But why would it be over four point seven billion
dollars in damages when we're just talking about customers watching
an NFL game? Again, that's a rhetorical question.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
Maybe it's because there's like two point three million people
and I don't know how many zeros would that be?

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Sure then per okay per customer, sure on a scale
because it technically affected two point four million people and
forty eight thousand businesses. But I mean that breaks down
to what a share of approximately four hundred and fifty
million dollars per team as it is right now, and
again it can get appealed and negotiated. And you know,

(20:50):
the surprising thing to me, Doug, is who what corporate
entity is more powerful?

Speaker 1 (20:59):
These.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
I mean, you know, you have your Amazons and your apples,
but you know, the the NFL is a pretty powerful
corporate entity. I mean they have the firepower to hire
some pretty first class attorneys. Now, obviously you know they
were the defendant in this particular case, but I'm not sure, hey,

(21:23):
who they were necessarily who they were necessarily beholden to
in this particular case. And we're talking about, you know,
a distribution model where I mean, do you think over
on Park Avenue, in that rarefied air on Park Avenue
where the NFL headquarters are. I think it's three four

(21:44):
five Park Avenue. They're wondering, gee, why did we even
bother coming up with this distribution out of market model
in the first place? If it costs US four point
seven billion dollars. Now we have of Fox Sports Radio
legal and parenting expert Dan Bayer standing by, and when

(22:08):
I'm talking about this case, I'm just basically asking rhetorical questions.
And rhetorical question number one is you know who exactly
is this really hurting. It's not, like, like I said,
the Aaron Brockovich case, families were literally getting ill and
getting cancer. And the other thing is why is it
four point seven billion dollars in damages? But I'm wondering

(22:31):
who was a When you're talking about antitrust, that means
somebody as a monopoly and another business can't compete. So
who besides the consumers if any were hurt by this
model that the NFL had to distribute everything.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
Who do I think was hurt aside from consumers?

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (22:52):
By the way, can I ask you one other thing? Well, yeah,
are you going to get damages? I mean, did you
personally sign up for Sunday tickets?

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Are you entitled like seven dollars and thirty two cents?

Speaker 4 (23:04):
I'm not sure. I hope it's a little bit more
than that, considering the amount that could apparently get up
to twelve billion dollars for them to pay out. There's
I don't know if there's anybody outside of the consumer,
but the consumer is a big enough victim for me.
My issue is with the NFL, and specifically with Roger

(23:25):
Goodell making comments previously of saying, hey, fans want more football,
Let's let's make a seventeenth game. We'll get a rid
of a preseason game, and we think we're heading to
eighteen games. Yet do they really mean that fans want
more football, because if they did, then the NFL would
be like, here you go, here's more. And it appears
that they're giving you more by going to Brazil and

(23:47):
playing a Friday night opening game and a Black Friday
game for what the second or third straight year that
we've had that on Amazon. So it looks like you're
getting all these options. And now Thursday Night Football for
the last know how many years has been every week
of the season. It looks like, yeah, the NFL is
giving us more and more. Yet there was an opportunity

(24:09):
for not only just to pay seventy dollars a month.
There was even a proposal of doing an NCAA tournament
type of Sunday where you would use six or seven
different channels to air all the games on at one
o'clock Eastern time. Baby, yeah it's Titans and Jaguars. So
those were those were the options that that I thought

(24:32):
that the consumer. It's kind of like the point counterpoint.
You guys are all on the side of the NFL.
I'm the common man. I am there for the person. Doug,
I am there, But you've gone back and forth.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
On this, No we have I'm not again this and
this probably sounds like I'm listening out here. I'm not
on the side of the NFL. I'm just on like
common sense, right, like the NFL. The reason they didn't
do it with the with the ESPN was they could
get more money out of direct TV, and they got
they got bigger bids out of DirecTV and bigger bids

(25:04):
out of YouTube TV, you know, and in order to
make up for those bids, they charge the consumer more
like that's how everything works. And if the consumer doesn't
want the product or if it's too expensive, they won't
pay for the product. Like that's really how business works.
And again, I I just I don't understand. I guess
I must be not understanding antitrust laws and and how

(25:29):
how this all works if the free market can't dictate
exactly if you want, Like, no one forced you to
buy the NFL, no one forces you to watch it,
and it's it's for free over the air. This is
simply if you want to watch more games or watch
your hometown team. And I don't think it's actually even
that much money. I mean, I don't know if you

(25:49):
guys know this. Okay, so I know this coaching au basketball,
and now obviously even as a as a college coach,
you know all these games you can watch yourself. Like
when Brody gets to be playing AU basketball, you're able
to watch all their games. There's two different baller TV
is one and I forget the I always forget the
other one. It's a I'll think of it in a second. Anyway,
it's a couple hundred bucks per year and you can

(26:12):
watch literally any AAU game anywhere in the country. It's
the same thing though, right we can watch your kid
play without and that it's the same balance. Do I
want to go to the gym, pay for parking, pay
to get in the gym just to watch my kid play?
Or do I, you know, let them go with this
friends and I'll sit at home and I'll watch it. So,
I you know, I don't really understand the of the suit.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
It's you think three hundred dollars is the tipping point?
Like that is I mean, that's ballparking for what it's
been over the last couple of years. You're saying that
that that is that is the that's the spot. Like
you buy League Pass in the NBA and it's two
hundred bucks for the entire season, and it's you know
how many you know, it's eighty two games for thirty teams.

(26:54):
The NFL in terms of theirs is basically you're paying
three hundred dollars for eighteen games. I think two hundred
dollars is there are some people will be like, you know,
that's still a little too rich for my blood, but
I'll do it. But I just yeah, I just they
try to make it seem like it's so friendly and
there are more and more windows for us to watch football.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
But I just that's that's that's a very smart thing
that you that you that I hadn't mentioned is honestly,
I'm not yet to that point. You really only need
red zone because I'm red zone guy. You really only
need red zone like the first month or two, you know,
because you start getting the Thursday night game, that's one

(27:37):
you get the even this year you got the Saturday game.
Or it's Friday, right, we've got a Friday. Is that
on Amazon?

Speaker 4 (27:43):
Opening?

Speaker 1 (27:44):
The opening peak is that Amazon?

Speaker 4 (27:47):
It's I can't I can't remember.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
I think it's Amazon. Anyway, we have you have all
these different windows, and granted you have to have Amazon
Prime to watch the Amazon game, but there's fewer games
in that second window, and and you can get by
with it. So I yeah, I I'm not sure you
totally need red Zone unless you're like us, where you're
just all in and you'll pay whatever, like it's interesting.

(28:11):
Do I cringe when I knew I paid three hundred
fifty bucks for YouTube this year and I didn't watch
it as much as I wanted. Sure, But then I
think to myself, like seventeen weeks twenty bucks a weekend,
Like not crazy? Not crazy? I mean, how there's people
that have bought those stupid not I'm thinking of Rich Paul,
but one of the Jake Paul fights for like fifty

(28:34):
nine ninety nine.

Speaker 4 (28:38):
Yeah, I know, I get it, I get it. I
just think that there was a better option out there
that's all at a price, that would be better for
the consumers. And I just feel that the NFL is
kind of talking out of both sides of their mouths.

(29:19):
this weekend.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
You know. I feel like it's deja vous all over again.
Last week, the Women's PGA was at Sahali in the
Pacific Northwest, and I wanted to watch the golf on
that course. The US Senior Open is at Newport Country Club,
another great venue that you don't get the c too often,
but this is a classic course. So I will be

(29:42):
taking in some senior golf action this weekend. See if
Steve Stricker can get it done again at a US Open.
That is where where my viewing habits will be.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Like you want to know what goes through my brain?
Want to hear US Senior Open? Like what if we
had I mean, should the US Senior Open be watching
like Walmart greeters? Right, there's like Walmart readers, and then
like they have to have somebody pushing like an oxygen tank. Oh,
come on, ball, Like I just I understand they're just
fifty plus whatever. They're just great golfers that have aged
out a little bit, But I do think wouldn't it

(30:12):
be cool if you had some real senior stuff. You know,
they were done early so everybody could get an early dinner.
You know, all of those things you're allowed to play,
like in your boxer shorts and like a ribbed T shirt. Again,
maybe I'm personalizing it because my grandpa when he retired,
he retired too young, like at sixty, Like he was

(30:33):
all you come over, and suddenly he was literally in
his boxers and watching a T shirt. You know.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
They actually have episodes of Wheel of Fortune at the
Turn going on, so it's kind of cool, just non
stop on a loop.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
How do we feel about Ryan Seacrest now as the
host of Wheel of Fortune? That's a weird thing for
those of us who grew up in our generation, like
Ryan Seacrest out sort of deal. That's amazing. Thanks for

posted on Instagram that he had a biopsy of a
lymphanto in his neck and it's cancerous. That stinks. Have
surgery on Tuesday. Here's something you guys didn't know. Dick
Vital's last college head coaching job was University Detroit. They're

(31:30):
also in our league at Green Bay. The other finalist
for that job was my dad. There's no man who's
ever been more gracious after getting a job outside of
maybe Sundan Swix than than Dick vii taw And he's
always been great to me and I just I wish
him the best and hope he beats cancer yet again.
This is the Doug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio.
My man Dan Byer has been kind enough to stand by,

(31:51):
and of course we worked together this morning on the
Dan Patrick Show. So let's do this together. Let's put
let's change roles here. We got I Loo will do
the press and Dan and I will react. I love
what he got the press.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
All right, Fellas we start with golf. Obviously one of
the big stories today. Frank Benzil Junior heading back to
back hole in ones at the US Senior open, but
also a big and bizarre story in women's golf. World
Number one ranked women's golfer Nellie Corda had to withdraw
from a European Tour event in England after she was

(32:30):
bitten by a dog. The bite occurred last weekend in Seattle.
No other details about the circumstances or location of the
bite available, but Corda said on Instagram that she needs
the time to receive treatment and recover fully.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
Bad golf man. I don't know the circumstances here, so but.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
I got a little background on it, not too much.
I know. Investigators their first question they were like, who
let the dogs out? They were wondering. That's about as
far as it's gotten so far. That's all we know.
We still don't have an answer on who let the
dogs out?

Speaker 1 (33:12):
That's good, Dan, that's really good. What about the two
hole and ones back at back to back? Have we
donated research? Has that ever occurred in the history of golf?

Speaker 2 (33:19):
The first time it's ever happened at least in USGA
Championship history.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
And it was the and by the way, there was
one other time in nineteen eighty seven. Saw this on
the Golf Channel today nineteen eighty seven. Two holand ones
in the same round happened in a I think a
mid amateur event. That's nineteen eighty seven, in a mid
ammeter event. This is back to back, and we touched

(33:45):
on this a little bit this morning, But anybody who
plays golf knows how rare it is to have back
to back par threes. You may have back to back
par four's pretty common, right, because there's usually a bunch
of those and just two par threes and two par
five on each side. Sometimes you get three and three.
But they have them back to back is extremely, extremely rare,

(34:07):
and so that provided this opportunity. They have back to
back aces that has never been done.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
All right, fellas, This next item is going to take
a little bit of explaining. The Lake County Captains are
a high single a affiliate of the Cleveland Guardians in
East Lake, Ohio, which is a suburb of Cleveland, and

(34:36):
they have a new seating experience at their home ballpark.
They have unveiled their first ever toilet row. This unique
seating experience, they say, will offer fans the opportunity to
enjoy the game from the comfort of deluxe, high end toilets.

(34:59):
Positioned right behind home plate. They are quote super comfortable,
elegantly designed, and offer unparalleled views, unparalleled views of the action.
The team's general manager says, thanks to rotal Router, fans
can now enjoy the game from the best seat in

(35:20):
the house.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
I love toilet, but that is a crappy view, That's
what that is. That views staks.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
Are think they change their nickname for the night to
like the crappers or something like that. Is that what
we've got as well? That's always popular? Oh my goodness.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
I think that if people out there want tickets, they
should hurry up and they should not stall. See Doug,
I don't have the The people sitting in those toilet
seats aren't gonna have the problem. It's the people around them,
I think who would be most inconvenience or behind them?

Speaker 3 (36:00):
Are we living one?

Speaker 1 (36:01):
Two, three wipes? You're out? Oh good?

Speaker 3 (36:06):
Are we living in the times of idiocracy now where
people just watch TV from a toilet?

Speaker 1 (36:11):
And I actually I'm just giving if you sit in
the toilet, how much self discipline does it take to
not break out your phone?

Speaker 3 (36:18):
It takes a lot.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Oh, I never can try.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
It next time. You're just like I can't. Oh you
can't you even sit there and enjoy like we used
to have reading material and now can't do it. Oh,
now you get your phone and.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
I mean these are these might be super comfortable, top
of the line, but after a certain amount of time,
won't your legs start falling asleep? I mean, that's from
my experience.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
It's all about the It's all about the quality of
the positioning of how you sit.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Maybe the seats are cushioned.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
There's a lot to that positioning.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
I guess it's all about fundamentals. All right, Well, well
flush that item in our background and move on to
Euro twenty twenty four. Obviously, the big story the incredible
upset there by Georgia, their two nothing upset win over
Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal, and the billionaire former prime minister

(37:16):
of Georgia is awarding them a ten million dollars bonus.
The Honorable Bidzena Ivani Sveli, former prime minister, who is
also a billionaire. His son, by the way, just happens
to be a famous rapper in Georgia, is offering the
team a ten point seven million dollar bonus for their

(37:40):
victory over Portugal, but is now offering to double that
bonus if they win their next match against Spain on
Sunday in the round of sixteen.

Speaker 4 (37:49):
Again, another amazing job by Kirby Smart to just get
it done with a lesser team to be able to
go in there and top Portugal. Nothing surprises me. He's
the best coach in the SEC for a reason. Jojah,
for sure, Joja. I think it's like, three seconds after
the match, I think, what is it? Three year letterman

(38:11):
ended up like tweeting about it. It was like it
was just it was set for all of us when
Georgia has the upset of Portugal yesterday, just any college
football fan was ready for that one.

Speaker 1 (38:21):
How ready are for college football?

Speaker 2 (38:22):
Are you?

Speaker 4 (38:22):
Though?

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Let's just be honest. I mean this first first twelve
team playoff, I'm just like again, I know the question
was about the World Cup or euro Cup whatever. I
just hear George, I hear Kirby Smart. I think about
fall weather and the fact we have a twelve team
playoff this year, Like I'm already, I'm ready right now
for college football.

Speaker 4 (38:40):
I picked up a preview magazine at the bookstore last
think I was coming through it. I didn't buy it
it's Athlon or Lindy's are always the early ones. And
to have the sixteen, the eighteen school Big Ten, to
have Oregon like second, it just was weird to see
the projected standings. It was really really weird. And the
sixteen team I see, see same thing.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
Danny, have a great weekend. You're awesome. I truly appreciate it.
And that is, in fact the press that.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Get out there and pressed. That was the press.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
I want to make sure this is very clear, Like,
if you're excusing nepotism because it doesn't happen enough to
black people, that's not a good excuse. If you're excusing
it because well sometimes it works out, that's okay. Check
