The Bucks' coaching staff, including Doc Rivers, is also under scrutiny, with some fans questioning their abilities and the team's overall direction.

Yeah afternoon everybody that was weird i bit I bit myself. I bit my. Uh I guess cheek.

So I said, Good afternoon. How do you do, everybody? Bit my cheek. Oh, man, things are going rough for me. Can't get away from the MMs.

Bit my cheek. Sham Shirinha's got me crashing out online. Oh, brother Welcome to The show. This is into the Winklerverse. I am Bart Winkler coming live on a Thursday.

I'll throw the link out if anyone wants to talk for a little bit. I need to talk about Giannis more than I did. Yesterday.

So yesterday I was just talking about Giannis a little bit. Today, I need to talk about the specific Shams reports. And I need to talk about it from an angle that is bucks. But I also need to talk about it from an angle that is me. Because I have gotten A similar Tweet Tweeted at me many times from a variety of people and i got it again yesterday this is Los Polaris?

Uh you're simply breaking Bart. It's all so sad.

Now, that was in response to Someone putting a picture of Giannis in a Dodgers uniform. And I said this is right wing blog levels of unfunny.

So I don't think this guy thinks I'm breaking. I think. I think I uh I think I showed my ass. To some people who are not familiar with My ass. Uh and they have a hard time.

understanding That maybe I don't see things the same way that they do. I feel like that has happened a lot, but I've also had people telling me. I'm crashing out. Uh after the Losing of job. You know, buying blue check mark.

Seeing if I can make any money on that fucking website. Of which I come to you now in many different places via the Dan Shaney. Insurance. Uh YouTube stream. I'm not.

This is so. I'm talking, Giannis, and we're also sliding underneath. We got two parallel things going on here. We're talking Giannis and the Sham stuff. We're also, I am.

You know, men don't go to therapy, they start podcasts.

So I'm in my basement. And I need to go through this with myself. If not, anybody else. And I want to talk about the Doc Rivers stuff. Your average Bucks fan says Doc Rivers sucks ass.

Yeah, I don't understand why he's here. I don't understand why this organization was doing something. A certain way. And then now that Doc's here, we're not doing it that way anymore. It does seem to be Jimmy Haslam.

Influenced by the This is all. Presumptive I don't know. But what I do know is the Bucs were Fire coaches, move on from guy, trade a guy, whatever we can do to keep Giannis here. And then Jimmy Haslam gets on board. And then they hired Doc Rivers, who I don't know had any interest in coaching still.

And now they are like ready to go down with the ship that is Doc Rivers. Like there's a Dock River size. Anchor on the ship. And perhaps to save Giannis and the team. All you need to do is get rid of that anchor.

But now the anchor has become so heavy That you are not going to be able to find a way. Uh to get out of it.

So I don't understand. What's going on in that regard? At all.

So Shams comes out with a report. And I want to go through.

Some of the the tweets Shams comes out with a report essentially saying The Brewers? Tim. The uh Bucs are now fielding offers And The Bucks are now listening to the offers that they're fielding. Other than getting a phone call and Pretending to listen and then hanging out. There has been.

Overtures and inquiries. On Giannis for years. Other teams, when they're trying to figure out what to do, hey, let's call the Bucs. See what's up with Giannis. These GMs.

Presumably. uh talk to each other enough All the time. What are you looking for? You know, even if it's horse in another Yannis L O L There there there are discussions so Giannis, and here's what I keep telling people. We have to assume that Giannis is going to get traded.

At some point. That's what it feels like. You and me with our eyeballs? with our senses. It feels like Giannis is going to get traded.

I know he was Kissing babies at the Peter Fagan Key the City thing today. Um but Giannis is clearly Unhappy. Is he unhappy in Milwaukee? Is he unhappy with Doc? Is he unhappy with the Bucs?

Is he unhappy in the States with his family overseas? I don't know. But when you look at him, he's not happy. And then he'll say something if I'm here still, whatever. But then also say I never asked out for a trade.

What I think that he needs to understand is You can ask for a trade. without saying the words. I am asking for a trade. This is uh action speaking louder than words, perhaps. And that does seem to be.

What's going on? with uh Giannis.

So I want to try to find the part of my Twitter account. when I really started going. uh white hot on yannis or shams rather And that is when I first saw the story. ESPN story on the Milwaukee Bucks starting to listen to aggressive offers on the 2021 finals. MVP Yannis Adenda Kumpo is prepared for a new home at the trade deadline or in the offseason.

My issue with this is this is the same kind of thing And a lot of people have been doing it, but Sham specifically has been the worst of all. And now that he's teamed up with ESPN, which have been neck and neck with him, now that their forces have merged.

Now it's getting out of control. And this report that Shams has. is not that much different. Than anything he has said. in the last handful of whatevers.

This is how he's been doing this for years. ESPN sources story. Here's the issue I have right now overall with the NBA: there was a lot of good NBA last night. And nobody that's covering the NBA Is interested in talking about any of it. Spurs beat the Rockets.

Wemby was 28, 16, and 5. The Spurs, even with the Thunder playing as well as they are, the Spurs are a legitimate title contender.

Okay. But nobody's talking about that. The Lakers You may have seen that LeBron was sad about Cleveland's. Tribute. But the Lakers Got beat by 30 by the Cavs, a team that was struggling.

Have kind of turned it around. They won five in a row. You've got some other teams in the East winning a bunch of games. The Hawks have been playing well, the Knicks have righted the ship. The Hornets.

are a team we should be talking about. They're the team that's neck and neck with the Bucs. for this race for the the play-in. Tournament Okay? Um They're the ones that will probably get in.

Not us. Steph continues to go up the scoring list. I mean, there's a lot of things. Magic beat the heat. There's just a lot of things that you can talk about.

When it comes to the NBA, but all that we ever talk about in the NBA is where are these guys going to play again? And I do feel like. That era is passing us by. I feel like that era is passing us by. Yeah, Kevin Durant to the Warriors.

That was kind of the pinnacle of it. I would like to just watch the basketball and talk about the basketball. But it does not seem like that is something that happens anymore.

So we're photoshopping people in the different jerseys. Um you know, so on and so forth.

So, Sean's put out this story, and immediately I go into rage mode. This started about 11 o'clock yesterday and went on for a few hours. And I had this similar type of crash out, let's say, when Matt LaFleur was extended and I fired off 20 tweets and, you know, whatever. But I think, like, I had another guy say, Bart, you're crashing out. While that may be true.

What's happened in the last month?

Okay. I have watched the Packers lose to the division rival, the Bears. I then saw Matt LaFleur keep his job. There was a brewer's tray that didn't bother me too much, but that was some big news. There's everything that's going on with Giannis.

There's a lot of things happening with our sports teams right now that are leading to said crash out.

Okay. So yeah. In that regard, I'm crashing out. I'm also on Twitter more. Than I have been in a long time.

When I would do, this is even, this is making me think that I have a lot bigger audience on Twitter than I thought, or no one fucking listened to my show because the shit that I'm saying on Twitter. Is Everything I've said on my show. Shitting on ESPN, shitting on shams, shitting on Packer fans that want LaFleur. Any crash out that I'm having online. I've had on my show.

Some people are more digestible. In print. Than they are in video and audio. I think I'm more digestible in video and audio. I think I'm more able to be understood.

In video and audio. My tweets. When I say something like on here. Oh, yeah. But when I tweet those same words just in word form, It looks really bad.

So a lot of this stuff that I've tweeted, I've said. This should be your moment, Shams. This could be your moment, but you've been crying, Wolf, for nine years.

Now that it's close to happening, you are not a newsbreaker. You are a pathetic man, possibly getting the validation you've been seeking anyway. Let me know when it happens. That was just the first one. This is my main complaint.

about this. And I think a lot of Bucks fans are in a similar boat. I think a lot of Bucks fans, they're not excited about this. This isn't something that they want. We don't want to have to go through this.

We don't want to see Giannis try to put five years of will here or won't he in a five-month span. We don't want to see this. We don't want to go through it. We're annoyed that Giannis is one foot in, one foot out. Do you want to be traded or not?

Ask. It's okay. It's okay. That's where we are. He's going to burn through that equity.

So if he's still here next year and signs an extension and still says this stuff. It's hard to think that he's going to be here next year, right? It is hard to think that. I still think he goes through the trade deadline. And if there's a package, maybe it happens prior to the draft or, you know, sometime this offseason.

But it does feel. Like At some point. Giannis is going to be dealt. And that in and of itself is sad. Right, it is sad.

But that's what we are ready for. And we've known it. We got a title. We got 13 years. We see as Bucs fans that this team is not what they were.

At any other point of these rumors, I think if it happens, it's going to be in the offseason, Justin. I don't expect it to happen in the next couple of weeks. I'll be shocked if it does. If they are going to trade him, do not acquiesce to anybody. Don't acquiesce to Giannis.

Don't acquiesce to Silver. Don't acquiesce to the other GM. Get the better deal. Get the deal where even they're like, Yeah, we gave up a lot, but we're getting Giannis. There are some times when you have leverage.

You know, this isn't, we're trying to, we're not trying to trade backup running back, backup wide receiver, and fantasy week eight bye weeks.

Okay. We're not doing that. You're trading away Yannis Edeta Kumpo at the age of 30. When he's got another big contract coming and more years of MVP play left. And he's one of the three best basketball players in the world.

You should. We're not going dollar for uh, you know, four quarters here. There needs to be something. The Bucks, you got, we got what you want. You can have it, just give us some stuff.

Give us enough stuff to let us pivot for a potential future. Which I still don't think there is a future after Giannis, but Maybe I'm too in the moment, can't see the forest. From the trees on that one.

So I think we're all under the assumption that he is going to get dealt at some point. What bothers me isn't that. It's all of these people in the media. And I'm sitting there screaming like an idiot. I'm on the side of the road wearing my sign, ringing my bell.

Don't listen to Shams. Don't let him have the benefit of the doubt. He doesn't get the respect that I'm doing that. And I feel like people are driving by me, and like, look at that fucking idiot.

Okay? Um The same shit you've been tweeting for ten years, have some respect for yourself. It's likely Giannis is trading soon. We see that with our eyes. But if it happens, it doesn't validate 10 years of Shams making shit up.

But he'll get credit for being on top of it. He's not, and he wasn't. He's a piece of shit. who lied in eventual truth.

Now, did I need to say he's a piece of shit? Probably not. But I do like the Lied and eventual truth lying that because he's been talking about this for 10 years. And I thought Rami had a good parallel. It's like, if I sit at this machine at Pato and say, this is going to hit.

At some point it will hit.

So you'll be right. But you're not basing that off of anything. You are just saying, oh, there's a superstar in Milwaukee. I'm going to bet at some point he'll betray it. And now, because it's more likely that he is traded because of the state of the Bucs.

Look, I know there's a lot of bots on Twitter. But I got these people telling me Shams is going to be right. I know what they're saying. Oh, do we owe them an apology? We don't owe anybody shit.

They owe us our time back. They stole nine years from us. We're going to apologize to them when he gets traded. Oh, Shems is gonna b have that breaking news alert and spooge all over his fucking Blackberry. That's what makes me mad.

That's why I don't rest. That's why I crash out. That's why I'll never get hired again. Because somebody needs to be on the street with the bell and the sandwich board saying, do not trust this guy. Tim Shea joins the program.

Yeah. Good afternoon, Bart. How you doing, Shay? Good, how are you? Good.

You look like you're at a conference or something. Oh, no, not at all. I'm just got done with work.

Well, we got the lanyard, we got the shirt logo, we got a name card. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're not in a vehicle? I'm not in a vehicle. How's my connection?

How do I sound? As good as it sounded since we started this. Do you believe this?

Sound very good. Thank you. Appreciate it. Do you have any comments on Giannis? I'm trying not to crash out.

Don't tell the newspaper I'm crashing out. I won't. I won't. No, I'm just tired of it. I'm sick.

So, whatever. You're sick of it or sick? Sick of it. Oh. Oh, but do tell the newspaper that Doug Russell still has a job.

There was some confusion. About that in media circles. I did see that. Yeah, Doug Russell is still employed. Yep.

And he lost fifty pounds. He looks good.

Okay. Um So you're just sick of it? Yeah, whatever. I you hear it every day. I'll tell you what this has done for me.

I've got no desire to go to games now. Oh, I haven't been to a game yet this year. I went on New Year's Eve. I went a couple times. I keep talking about the New Year's Eve game.

I've probably gone to three or four. Did they win? No, they lost to the Wizards. They were up and then they were down like 10. And then CJ McCollum, before he got traded.

Hit a jumper with 10 seconds left, and then Giannis had a mid-range jumper. to answer and he of course missed. Yeah. So they lost on New Year's Eve. But win or lose.

Just seeing with my eyes, they didn't look. It's not even that they look bad or look good. They don't look like they care. Or they don't like they look like they can care. And I know that there's the Yana stuff going on.

My bigger like Buck-centric 2026 season question. And I think somebody that's been getting away with it because of how much we're talking is the terrible job. That Doc Rivers is doing. I'm shocked you're just not going around like you have been for Matt LaFleur about Doc Rivers. You're getting he's getting a pass in your book, isn't he?

No, but yeah, I guess. I mean, I'm not going as hard as him. One, I feel like, you know, collectively everyone's doing the work. The LaFleur stuff, I need to be a little louder because. There's still a lot of uh LaFleur lovers, but Doc, I I I can't find one Bucs person That's even like Well, you know, they're not even like that.

He doesn't, he had a face the other day with a challenge that he didn't challenge, and he was just looking like, What do I do? He doesn't want to be coaching. I don't understand it. I think it's a Jimmy Haslam thing. I don't get it.

The whole organization, I said this the other day. Um, Fuck, I mean, the days of Alex Lazarie are looking pretty good now in the rear view. Yeah. Ever since Peter Fagan announced he was leaving, it's just been downhill. And who is this guy replacing him?

Nobody's seen him yet. Oh. Was he at the thing today? He got the key to the city. I saw that key to the city.

Map to the state. He's getting everything. He got the map to the state. Yeah. Can you believe that?

Yeah. What does that even mean? I have no idea. I just made it up. Oh, that's terrible.

Thank you. Okay. Um What well okay, if you had to choose one coach to be fired this year. And only one, which one? Matt LaFleur or Doc Rivers?

Oh, Tim, I actually thought of a great like. That's my question of the day. Uh well d Okay. LaFleur or Doc, I'd fire LaFleur first. Oh.

Bye. Although there really is, and this is this wood sucks. Like who are you gonna hire? You know. Thank you.

Mike McCarthy. Robert says Tim Shea is not as dumb as he looks. That's the guy listening next door to me, by the way.

So thanks, Bobby. He wants you actually. He's running, he runs the our golf tournament or golf outing. He wants you to like MC it or do a live show from there. And then he asked, he did ask, do you?

I actually don't know. Do you golf? I said no, but. I'm bad. I'm I I like golfing, but I'm bad.

That's what I thought. That's what I thought. I'll play on a scramble, but I can only really putt and maybe. Hit one down the middle, 200.

Well, I think that's what it is. The West Dallas. Yeah. Champions for a child, I believe. Is what it is.

Oh, it's a charity, so I can't ask for money to MC. It's got to be charity.

Well yeah, I mean, I'll I'll we'll get you something. Maybe some mountain dews or You know what, you can always get me. We can get you a fitness center membership. Here in West Dallas. The only thing I need is fitness.

I do have free five dollars every week in February. Me too. Five bucks? You have five bucks every week. No, they don't always give it to me.

Oh, I get it every week. No, they're like. They like give me two months off and then a month back on.

Okay. I need to go to an Admirals game and get one of those twenty dollar vouchers that remember the Brewers have the best ones. Free twenty five dollars. Oh, those are great. I I go on books.

I go right after the stadium when I get those. All right. You want to do what you're here for? Yeah, this is very random that you picked today to do this. Why?

That 'cause the schedule just came on, I mean I know it just came out, but I wasn't ready to. I looked at my phone, I'm like, badgers. Yeah, Badgers back first I was like basketball because they had a very nice comeback last night. Yeah. But then you're like, no, you want to win-loss the Badgers football schedule.

Yeah, well, the schedule came out. Ah yeah. Sure, why not? I mean, we do it with the Packers every year. The Quietly came out too.

I had no idea it was coming out. Yeah. Or, why not? Let's do it. I am a Badger season ticket holder.

We can set all my vacation days too. You can remind me. Yeah, I will.

So what's gonna happen on the show right now Is Tim Shea and I are going to win-loss the 2026 Wisconsin Badgers football schedule.

Okay. Let's do it. Do you get the music too, or no? I could do some rock music. You can't do like the NFL.

You can't do like, you know, the NFL prime time. No, there's only so many things that I can do. Oh, okay. Otherwise I'd have to pay. Yeah, I got you.

I forgot. And I don't have any money for that. Yeah, okay.

Well we don't need you don't need us. All right, you want some music? And go ahead. This is the generic stream yard music you hear on podcasts all over the land.

Alright, week one, the Badgers. This is gonna be at Lambeau Field on a Sunday. Uh we'll be on NBC Is this gonna be a night game? Yeah. This would be a night game.

They moved it from Saturday to Sunday. Labor Day, yeah, Labor Day weekend.

Alright, so we're in store for a night game. No Packer game, it did. Oh there we go.

Alright, so I'm gonna take the badgers to... I'm gonna take him to lose that game, Tim, on the 6th of September. That is probably the national champion of next year, so I will take them to lose as well. Are they playing anybody though? Because nobody wants to play them now.

Yeah, they're playing BYU and Miami. They get the rematch if it's Miami. Oh, they got Belichick? Yeah, they get yeah, but they s yeah. Miami SMU.

Yeah. Maybe. Yeah, the you know, the sisters of the blind and deaf. Oh yeah, no USC, very sad.

Alright, then the Badgers have The Western Illinois Leathernecks. That will likely be a 11 a.m. Big Ten network game. I'm going to take him to win. I'm going to put him at 1-1 for the season.

Okay, I agree with you.

Alright. Following that, it's going to be the Eastern Michigan Eagles. They just got replaced. That game got replaced. It was supposed to be Pittsburgh.

But the Badgers needed another win in their schedule, so Yeah, that sucks. I think I should come up with a list of what annoys me the most in sports. College football scheduling games nine years in advance. And then the year prior to that game, there's like... Fuck this.

Yeah. That bothers me. I'll give them the dub there, though. They're going to get paid off with the by game 2-1. Same.

Alright, uh then they're gonna go to Penn State. It's Matt Campbell. Uh Rocco backed. Coming over. Oh, that Eastern Michigan game, too.

That's going to be a 6 p.m. FS1 night game. by the way. That's my vacation night.

Okay. Uh the Penn State game. Ooh, you know what that could be? Big pen Saturday night. Ah!

I think it could be. I'm gonna, you know what, Penn State? They're getting familiar with their new surroundings, their new coach. I'm going to give the Badgers a road win here to go to 3-1. I was too.

Look at that. I don't know one player on the Badgers next year, but All right. Then they got Michigan State. Uh this is gonna be a 230 FS1 game. Yeah.

And I'm going to take the Badgers to win this game, too. Yep, four and one.

Okay. Then they're off.

Alright, then they have to go to UCLA. This will be their first CBS game of the year. Um and I am going to give the badgers Well, it's the Roosevelt, the home away from home, baby. Let's go five and one. Or the Badgers.

That's wrong. It's not the Rose Ball. It's not their home away from home. They're playing where the Rams play next year. It says Rose Bull.

Yeah, that's wrong. Oh, they're playing at SoFi? Yep. Oh. Well even better.

For some reason, I'm not sure yet. When? I agree. That's another win. They're five and one now.

Five and one. They've beat. last year's or this past season's uh win total.

Okay, now they're gonna have some momentum. Yep. This one's guaranteed to be Big Ten Saturday night. Yep. Um Homecoming, probably.

God, I gotta be honest with you. I like the Badgers in this game. I'll take USC. I'm six and one. Uh you're six and one and I'm five and two.

Alright, then they go to Iowa. This is going to be their first big noon kickoff of the year. You know what? I think they're going to beat Iowa and improve to 6-1? 7-1.

I do too. I'm six and two.

Okay. Then they got Rutgers. That's back on Big Ten. Yeah. Died eight and one.

Uh at Maryland 9 and 1. At Purdue 10 and 1. I had the Golden Golfers come here 11-1.

Okay, I got the Badgers going 11-1. That's With a loss to Notre Dame.

Someone booked this. episode please.

So that when they go three and nine. We can laugh at ourselves. And they will um Meet Notre Dame again in the playoff. This is great. Yeah.

Let's see. I can't wait to do this in August again. Ben says, I don't want what you guys are smoking. This is terrible. Yeah.

Um And then we got this segment. Is not a good promo for Happy PlayStation. What do you mean? I haven't had any THC yet today. Justin's going to write down, I have 11 and one.

What do you got, ten and two? 10 and 2. Is that going to get him into the playoffs? It should. But, you know, maybe they'll pull a Notre Dame on us and Well we were just out for the 13th.

Thirteenth best team. Should I give you my real prediction? Sure. Six and six. Probably.

John Gruden and his way in next year after Fickle gets fired. I just want them to play some fucking shitty bowl game on the 28th. At Fenway or some shit. The Yankee Stadium. Yeah, just play one of these baseball bowl games.

Go down to Wrigley, maybe. They had a bull game there, right? Should the brewers? host a ball a bowl game.

Well, they can't.

Well, now that they're winterizing Miller Park or American Family Field, they are. Yeah, you knew that. I'm not sure I did. Yeah, with that whole. Money, the bills.

Pass. But They're gonna winterize Miller Park so they can do some stuff in the winter. They probably want to do a wrestling event there. I think at one point there was talk about doing something with basketball. How much is that going to cost?

A lot of money. It was like. Over 500 million or something? It was passed a couple of years ago. To make improvements to the stadium.

What were all those maps showing like apartments? None of that's happening. The district, like air district?

Okay. That might happen too. Not in Rick Schlesinger's tenure. He's done after this year. He is?

I believe so. Thought I heard something. I'm going to bring in banana. Hey banana. What's up guys?

Hey fellas. Hey, Tim. Yeah. Have a seen sense of hair is going with the colour. You're a shaniac, right?

God. Yeah. No. You're not a shaniac? Yeah.

How do you know what a trimmiac is, Bart? Means you're a Tim Shea maniac. Oh yes, well absolutely. We are. I just made that up.

What's up?

Well, it's 300 million, Tim. That's what was passed. $300 million. Yeah, $300 million. No strings attached with it with regards to Adanasio having to pay anything for the team, and in terms of a salary floor and spending.

Basically they just gave the money. Yay. And exactly what Tim has said: they're going to winterize, they're going to modernize, maybe get the escalator so that way they don't collapse halfway through a game. Just thought. Um Who gave him the money?

Stay dead. The state did. For what when did I miss this? This was over a year ago, Bort, like Tim said.

Well, how am I supposed to get to the stadium if the highway is under construction?

Well, whoever said the state was good at planning, I mean, they gave the map to the state away earlier today.

So I did.

Okay then. Yeah. Uh All right, well, what's up with you? Yeah. Like you, sitting around my unemployed self.

Watching you guys just shaking my head and discuss that that how Doc Rivers is going to Yeah. I have a bad feeling Doc Rivers and Matt LaFleur are going to be around for a long, long time. I mean, Haslam, Haslam, as you said before, Bart. I'm pretty sure that he's. Hoodwinked about this.

Oh, your friend Daria was on this morning on the Statewide. Sports uh show and he was talking about how Basically, the reason why Doc is still employed is he's such a charmer. He's got certain people. Doc's apparently a charmer. That's what they're saying.

I don't think it's anything more than Jimmy Haslam is starstruck by Doc Rivers. Yeah, he's got Haslam starstruck. Jimmy Haslam is aware of like. Three coaches. In the last 25 years of NBA.

And he's like, Doc Rivers available, I'll take him. I'm surprised we don't have Mark Jackson. Yeah. Jackson would be an upgrade. Banana, you are the runner-up, but since you're both here, Tim.

You have earned this week's Winkler vs. Member of the Week. You have earned a map of the state. Congratulations. He hates him.

This is the highway map. From What year was this made? Yeah. Nineteen twenty-four. Wonderful.

Oh, thank you. It's 100 plus years old. You've yet to see the highways. Come through. And segregate the city of Milwaukee.

That's not on this map. But other than that, it's uh It's pretty good. Yep. There we go. Yeah.

Well prop comedy. I like it. Thank you. I'll come pick it up. Wow.

I did have a question. I was going to give this to the guys on mm-hmm. Because there's been a lot of discussion about snow. and domes and football. Oh god.

So imagine Lambeau Field. Has a dome. How many Super Bowls Would it take retroactively?

Okay. For you to be okay with that.

Okay. Like they'll say we're gonna put a dome on Lambo, but that now means Rodgers won two and Favre won two. You know what I'm saying? Retractable roof? Yeah.

Dome.

Okay. Is that a QR code poster? It most certainly is, Bart. Does it go to anything? Yes, it does.

You know what my favorite uh kind of link to send to people are, Bart? Little Rick Astley. If you scan it, it will literally Rickroll you. That's what it does? Yeah.

I'll send you a better picture of it later, Bart. Can I scan it from on here? You can, l give me a second, let me. Let me see if I can get it to be a little bit higher. Up here.

Where does this get purchase? Um My better half uh bought this for me uh for my birthday last year. Oh yes, sure enough. Yeah. Seriously, Rick Rollin' your crowd aw, Bart.

How much? Where do they even sell those? She ordered it somewhere.com. I will ask her. That's insane.

I need, I need. I need those. I need I wait we got I gotta get in the QR code game. Mm-hmm.

Okay. Yeah. Oh, uh Tim. I set the day for the tailgate. Oh, what day?

Uh July 18th. Against Marlins. All right, amen. Three o'clock game. Saturday?

Yeah. Wow. Okay, I'm in. Mm-hmm.

Are you gonna buy the tickets? Uh yeah. Mm-hmm.

Can you afford the tickets? Uh next question. Same question for me, buddy. Who are you working with on the tickets? What's her name?

Emma Baker. Emma Baker? No, she works for the Bucs. Oh, okay, sorry. Shh.

Yeah. All right, good job on the Badger schedule. Anything else for you, Banana? Yeah, um, I I agree with you. Giannis has traded in the offseason.

I mean, the fact that he's not going to get enough of him now. You can't rush this. No, he's hurt too. And no team in their right mind is going to trade for someone who's Achilles could basically go Lillard. Right now, they want him to get as much rest as possible and they want him to basically have an off-season of rest before they actually throw him out there.

They want him available for their supposed title stretch runs. I mean, anything else would be. Foolhardy by those teams. I don't want to talk out of school here, but they need to employ a little art of the deal here. They need to ask for Greenland.

And then settle with a bunch of army bases. They need to ask for the most improbable thing they can get. And then let the other team work their way down. Don't, don't. I want John Horse going into these negotiations, not giving up anything ever.

I don't want John Horston, these negotiations period full stop. I want him gone along with Doc. Oh, did he emerge from the shadows today?

So that means. Six more weeks of drafting a kid that had two good games in the NCAA tournament. Yeah. Something like that. Where is DJ Wilson?

Sitting on his first round money. Damn. All right. Well, I'm going to go apply for more jobs, kids. Good catching you.

Good luck. Banana. Yeah, it's tough out there because A lot of the corrections. What? I can't hear you.

Or ban. I'll leave and come back. You mean you can't hear me? I can't hear you. I don't know what happened.

We're talking right now. Ah Well All right. Uh gonna wrap things up here soon anyway. Bucs should have a game tonight against the Wizards. There will be no postgame for that.

There might not be a Bucs postgame. for a while. Not doing Wizards. I have to go. I'm going.

I have to go. I get to go to a family music night. The kids are going to do a little concert. The parents So I'm excited for that tonight. I don't know why that happened, but whatever.

I'm excited for the Royal Rumble on Saturday. You got a pick. Um gosh. The rock. The rock.

Okay. Also, Wonder Man Marvel TV's latest. Entrant is very good. Hey, I have a question about wrestling. Is John Cena like done done, or do you think he's going to come back at some point?

Okay. He retired.

Now, every retired wrestler has come back at some point. Even the one guy who said he never would, Shawn Michaels. Did come back to chase a sauddy bag. I do believe that John Cena has every intention. to never wrestle again.

I do believe that he believes it. I also believe that You know, like WrestleMania. You know, when the Saudis are doing their three month run of Monday Night Raw. I don't know why WWE headcars doesn't just move there already. What uh WrestleMania are we coming up on?

Forty two. I'm going to say WrestleMania forty. or forty six. We'll be at Miller Park. No chance.

Miller Park would be lucky to get a Like a B-less pay-per-view. Yeah. Okay. I mean, they'd be lucky to get an NXT stand and deliver. What about SummerSlam?

Now way. Just saying.

Okay. No, I I could see them getting Maybe a money in the bank. I do that.

Well, I would get any pay-per-view here, but I'm trying to think, like, I don't. I don't know. This winterizing Miller Park, I don't think it's going to bring them. the dollars they're expecting. I don't know.

A winter classic? Maybe. Winter classic. Um. Basketball, wrestling.

What else is in like Early December. Let me say this. Can I say this about the Blackhawks? Are they trying to be a part of shit here or not? They had that one game at Fiserve.

Like, if you're going to try to take over Milwaukee, be here more.

Well this soda in that one game. Yeah. They should have played Nashville.

Well, yeah, I I think that Nashville should really dig in here, but You know, is that partnership going to be around forever? You should be Sabres fans, is what you should be. Brewers Colors. Same shitty history. Yeah.

They're on a winning streak, or they were. How many games are the Brews going to win this year? Are we too early to do that? We just won-loss the Badger schedule today. We're not win-loss in the Brewer schedule.

Um How many games? I think it's set at 85 and a half, 84 and a half. I thought I saw 87 and a half. S I'm sorry. I say it every year.

I'm always wrong. I'm one of the people that are always wrong. I don't think they win 90.

Okay. Okay. I I I'll tell you what, though, I think Caleb Durbin's about to have an all-star campaign. He's your new favorite, isn't he? Good interview, by the way.

Oh, you caught it? Yep. Yeah, most of that was off the top of my head. Good job, Bart. I did listen to a few um Interviews he did.

I did. I listened to one he did with Trevor Thomas. I listened to one he did with Tim Allen. And Tim had said something about the nickname. His nickname being Happy.

And then I used that on Caleb, and he didn't see it coming. It was like, yeah, I did my fucking prep.

Always good to see you. Yeah, you want to have a real embrace soon? Yeah, we should. We should go to a Bucks game. Wear paper bags on our head.

I could do like a reverse chair bit. You take the chair back, you call go to city hall. Can I get all your chairs? What's a reverse chair bit? You you take the chair back, you say, There's no chair going here.

I don't know. A reverse I could just like take a jackhammer and just start tearing up Wisconsin Avenue. It needs it. Yeah. I saw a tweet today that we're just not funding potholes anymore, like America.

Or road repairs. That's how they knew the Roman Empire was coming down. There was a bridge and it didn't get repaired, and the Romans were like. Fuck. When in row.

Yeah. Okay. Okay. Um, well I talked to a guy today. He goes.

The bar. Top is green and it's called Maguire's. That's it. The bar top's red. It's not Jesus.
