So you can continue celebrating all of life's milestones. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. We heard you. Nine years of bring back the snack wrap, and you've won. But maybe you should have asked for more.
Say hello to the Hot Panny Snack Wrap.
Now you've really won. Go to McDonald's and get it while you can. Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome into the Winklerverse. I'm Bart Winkler.
It is Monday the 16th. Happy President's Day. That to those who observe. My kid used to have this day off, I think. I don't know.
Did we used to have this day off? I don't remember having this day off. It's amazing how many things are closed. I was expecting mail today. Nope.
No male no no no no male. No mail today, no banking today, but the Wigglerverse, the national perspective with Carlos Ortiz. We're here. Yeah. Um Robert Duvall died.
I thought he's, to be honest, I thought he wasn't with us to begin with.
Someone just said Robert Duvall R.I.P. I could have sworn he's been dead. Stand by. He has been dead for like 30 minutes. He died at the age of 95.
What a long run. Good for him. Wow. Again. I hate to have killed him off, but...
I thought he was dead for a while. What is the um oldest age you can say before you stop saying Oh, he was so young. I think 15 is clearly 195 is a hell of a run. I think once you don't have a six in your number anymore. You're old.
I think you hit 70. At that point, you're on borrowed time.
So you could be 69. He could die at 69, and you'd say he was so young. I don't know about so young. but you can be like damn man he you know there was still some mileage on that truck Yeah. What percent chance do you give yourself to make it to 69?
Zero. Zero. um uh life is cruel uh life throws uh many of obstacles at you My mother, God rest her soul, did not see 60. And everything that I have done in terms of my career and my life has essentially mirrored my mother.
So I don't think I'm going to C60. I I'm happy to know you while you're still here. Yeah. Yeah. We've got a good.
Hopefully a good 15 years left. Man. I don't know what's like Middle East. What's the least amount of years that you would be... like guaranteed to have that you would be like Like if I could be like, all right, you have 15 years or chance it.
And chance could be 40 or chance could be you die tonight. Oh, no. Oh, every you know what? No, I'm going to go with the chance because I'm chancing it right now. Wow.
Yeah, I'm LWP, man.
So it's like every every living while Puerto Rican.
So every day is already a chance. You know, you never know when you're going to go. I could step outside right now, walk my dog, and just, you know, get hit by a bus, which is crazy because there's no bus routes where I live. Oh, wow. There's bus routes all over the place where I live.
I'm in a booming metro. It's 60 degrees here today, Carlos. That's fantastic. It actually snowed this evening. There was fresh powder on the ground, and I'm so sick of this winter.
Oh yeah. We're doing the fake spring thing because it's going to be down to thirties again. We just talk about the weather, a little small talk here. That's what you all tune in for. Did you get into the all-star game festivities over the weekend?
Not one second. And not one second? Not one second because I had been bitching. Were you on the air talking about sports during both things? Yes.
Oh, actually, no, no, no, no. My weekend schedule has changed.
So, for everybody, adjust accordingly, I now do 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. What? You didn't tell me that.
Yeah, well, because I completely forgot about it. Apparently, Westwood One also has an offseason for football.
So, Odyssey and Westwood One, which is why everybody hates Odyssey, is they, you know, I got a new venture.
So, Westwood One is like the new national network, I guess. When football season is over, Odyssey takes over programming in the middle of the day now.
So they do 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
So Westwood 1 is the bread of that sandwich.
So they're like, hey, yeah, I don't know.
So I don't know what's on from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Eastern Standard Time. I want to assume it's like Bet MGM content, but. I can't produce that because I'm not an Odyssey employee.
So I had to move my schedule. There was a couple of different options that were presented to me and I was like. You know what? Do I hate waking up in the morning? Yes.
Would I like my day to be over at 11 a.m.? Sure.
So now I switched over to mornings. I'm with Nick Ashu. on Saturdays. Elijah Campbell on Sundays and Lynelle Willingham both days.
So I'm done at 11 a.m. Great for me. What the fuck? Yeah, it's so strange. It's so strange.
Is Wicked doing shows yet? I don't know who that is. Oh Mike Wicket? Mike Wicket. Yeah, uh I don't know.
Is he supposed to be? He was on the schedule. Really? For Odyssey or Westwood. Oh, so Bet Mgm.
Yeah, wicked. It's Yesterday's schedule was Elijah Cunningham, L Linnell Willingham. Five hours of bed MGM game day. Yeah, no clue. I have no clue who does anything for Bed MGM.
Josh Graham, Mike Wickett.
Okay, so Mike Wickets that that he's on the Westwood side then. Yeah. All right, so me and Mike Wicket are teammates unknowingly. Our boy Stu Kobaks produced them. Oh yes?
Yeah. Jesus Christ. This industry is going to be a cluster F. Yeah, I don't know. I wish I could have had the opportunity.
to turn down an opportunity. Yeah. But I didn't. No, because You would have taken it.
Well, I'm taking whatever. Ladies and gentlemen, I am open for business. I'm still wrestling with um Mike. 'Cause people will be like, You're unemployed. And I am Doing this like This is a job.
I think I own an LLC. I own a business. This is part of my business. I own a business. I own a business and I'm available.
to freelance. I think my LinkedIn says Yes, so does mine. despite me actually having a job. As an independent contractor, it'd probably help if I signed in there ever. Definitely.
I did apply to a job last week. Ooh, I need details. You actually did not tell me this.
Okay.
So there's this like. Jim around here. What? Or it's like um It's like a it's like a sport club.
Okay, a fitness sensor, if you will. Yeah, but it's also It's like um It's like not A country club.
Okay.
But it's the same kind of like be a member here, get access to the gym, get access to the pool. Ooh, a pool. I like that. They'd get my money. I'm a big swimmer.
And there's been some talk. of uh the community and of our You know. Circles and groups of which we that they that people want to join said club. And The Winkler family, not really a club kind of family. Oh, you don't say.
There's a um Public pool. Pretty close to us. Yeah. So we would rather like Be that. I've always been like but then you have to swim with the peasants Dude, I've always been public system over private system.
I can't wait to be in the upper middle class, man. I want to look down on people. That's why I'm poor, because everyone knows how I would act. My money, money would change me. The youth clubs I I joined for my kid, the The schools, I I'm I'm I'm you know, public.
Or you remember Yeah, yeah. 4-H. No kids at the 4-H club. Um But As this discussion was happening, I got... one of those LinkedIn emails and one of the Jobs was to be a communications director for said sport club.
Okay.
And you communicate, you can direct words.
So I thought.
Well, if I could get a free membership. 1,000%. If you don't think my gym was hiring a receptionist and I can get a free membership, I'd do it. Yeah, so I sent the LinkedIn application with whatever resume I have stored on there. Wouldn't you know it?
13 hours later, I got denied. Wow! You can't get a job at a fitness center? I lost much kind of my reps, so neither can I. What the hell is I doing?
10?
Well, it's very, it's very, if we could just be honest, it's going to be very tough. to find another Yeah.
Okay, because I could try to find a job in this business. But where? Yeah. Way especially in you know, Wisconsin. Where?
And If I try to find a job outside of radio, we're looking at PR communication. And I I could do These top communication jobs Based on what we've done. The skills are transferable. But I don't have the experience. Which is silly.
So if I I I mean I I'm like, no, I'll apply for communications like manager and director, but I need to be like somebody who makes like. $33,000 a year. Yeah. Yeah. And if I'm going to go work for the man.
For that. I might as well see what I can make in my basement and have autonomy. Agreed.
So That's where I'm at now. People like to say. That I got fired, that we got fired. We can say we got fired. They need to say we got laid off.
Yeah. Okay.
So I think that that's Fair.
So that's my job update. Nice. Nice. I wish us well, because we both need it. I have applied.
We are brought to you by Happy Place Hem promo codes BART. 25% off each and every order for the gummies, the tinctures, the seltzers. And more. Um Cracking a can right now. Of something else that's not Happy Place Hemp, but I'll make you think it is.
It's Baja Blast Dew Zero. Disgusting. It's actually Yeah. It's actually not. You know what I miss?
I miss the innocence of when there was a new Mountain Dew. And you knew all the Mountain Dews, because I'm a big Mountain Dew guy, so code red, obviously, and then Live Wire, and then Pitch Black, and then there was a purple one.
Now there's like 30 of them.
Now there's even Hard Mountain Dew, which I have not had. Yet, believe it or not. Hard mountain dew, like with alcohol? Yeah, you can just buy it straight up in cans. Oh.

And Robin, we thank them. For that. Big thanks to our sponsor, BetterHelp, for partnering with us for this important conversation about mental health. This is Steve Smith here, former NFL wide receiver and host of the 89 Show on YouTube.
So, having a counselor and working with BetterHelp gives you an opportunity to really start to unpack, but people don't understand when you unpack things, you also open up a box that you're not always sure what's inside.
So, I think that's why seeing a professional is extremely important. If you need someone to open up to, visit better help that's betterhelp.com/slash 89 to get started. Finding ways to be financially savvy is a smart move, and knowing you could be saving money for the things you really want, like that dream home or new ride, is a great feeling. That's why the State Farm Personal Price Plan can help you save when you choose to bundle home an auto. Bundling, just another way to save with the personal price plan.
Prices are based on rating plans that vary by state. Coverage options are selected by the customer. Availability, amount of discounts and savings, and eligibility vary by state.
So, you didn't watch much of the All-Star game then at all. I think. There were a couple of different times. Where Like I did. We watch the We watched the skills competition.
Me and my kid. We watch that. He had a buddy over. Oh, he got really into 2K. 2K was on sale.
Yeah, 2K was on sale for like 20 bucks.
So we bought it. And um We move the sliders where we're just kicking the shit out of teams. They know. I try to make it a little harder and then he. He was only up nine and he started freaking out, but We're 14-0 in our franchise.
We did an expansion draft. We took Shea first. And then he got hurt.
So We're led by Carl Anthony Towns and Lamello Ball right now. Yeah. How are you 14 and oh? Because we're beating teams 100 to 12.
Okay.
Yeah. So we've been doing that a little bit. And then he had a buddy over, they were playing. We turned it off. We started watching the three-point contest.
They, of course, know Dame, so that was fun to see him. Yeah, he won that, right? Yeah. Then then we watch the dunk contest. And even though he doesn't see some of that.
The dunk contest was good. It's just that we don't know who these guys are. No, because half of them are G-Leaguers. Like, I know, I, I heard of Carter Bryant. That was the only one that I've heard of.
The guy who won, was it Keishad Johnson? Never heard of him in my life.
Well, my kid was so enamored with his dancing that then we went and traded for him. In our franchise. Would you give up a third-round pick? Which is funny because they don't exist in the NBA. What did we give up?
We gave up someone real shitty. Oh, and then we went and traded for Dame. Oh, I mean, we see how that played out in real life. Just go to the dunk contest for a second. If you're Carter Bryan and you get a 50-point, which is a perfect for a dung, how do you not win it?
I mean, The Keyshad Johnson dunk that won the contest was probably one of the weakest dunks I'd ever seen. You know, it's just a run of the mill. I don't kind of like a windmill dunk. I'm like, dude, it was so basic. When he hit the dunk, there was no buzz, no juice in the arena.
The announcers were like, all right, we think he won it.
Now he's just dancing. Like, nobody was hyped whatsoever. That had to be the. You know, what's the opposite of an exclamation point? Because whatever the opposite of that was, is what that dunk was.
It was so weak. I think the opposite of an exclamation point is a question mark.
Okay, then that's fine with me. But maybe it's just a period. No, because even then I feel like a period, you know, like You know, if you're arguing with someone and like, do what I say, and what I say goes, period. You know, that accentuates the statement. You know, you know what?
It's an ellipses. It's a dot, dot, dot. That's what it is. The Keishad Johnson dunk was an ellipses. The functional opposite of an exclamation mark.
is a period. It doesn't feel right. Because again, I feel like the period. completes the sentence it ends it it accentuates what you just said And that's the bottom line, Costone Cold said so, works with an exclamation point. and a period.
But if you put that's the bottom line because that because Stone Cold said so with a question mark or dot dot dot Leaving room for more thought. What's going on here? That's what that dunk was. What's with the upside down exclamation point in Spanish? That's just the way grammar is in Spanish, because you have the upside-down question mark as well.
Okay, upside-down exclamation point or question mark starts at the beginning. of the statement And then you have the normal looking one at the end of it. Poor K. Joan Osay. Yeah.
I don't make the rules. A little Spanish? I knew I knew a word. Yeah, almost like you said pork. No.
Okay.
So, okay, so that was happening. And When my kids' friends' parents came to pick him up. They were like, how is this on already? Yeah, a lot of people were throwing. Nobody seemed to get it.
Yeah. Now they were on.
So fun fact. The all-star games that like we think of like As being better. NBC used to air these things at like five in the afternoon. And not late at night.
So it was a little weird not being on TNT. Uh the Saturday night thing. But it made sense because they have the Olympics. Yes, they need to get out of the way. And the Olympics are a big draw, and this was a way to keep.
So it made sense. I'm just kind of surprised. Um how many people Did not know that. And then even with the all-star game. We had a soccer game and my buddy was gonna go do another thing and then Or or my son was gonna go do a thing with his buddy.
And then I said, well, we were going to watch the all-star game zone? Yes. But nobody seemed to nobody seemed to have any idea. In that now. The All-Star game.
I thought was good. It was in that case. Here's the here.
So, first of all, problem with the slam dunk contest. Let me finish that. It's not who's in it. It's that the dunks. Are too fast.
Because how many times have you seen, like, oh, that's a normal dunk? And then they slow it down and you're like, holy shit, how did he pull that off? The problem with the dunk contest is you got to see the replay. The problem with the all-star game. I think this format worked.
Not necessarily because USA versus world. It it The Rome Robin, even though I hate it in theory. I do hate it in theory. Agreed.
A round-robin tournament. And this wasn't an all-star game, it was an all-star event. Mm-hmm. The all-star game is East versus West, if I may. Yes.
Team LeBron versus Team Giannis is not, even that is. Stupid. We can keep tweaking this as much as we want. All that matters, though, is will the players try? That's all that matters.
Kawhi Leonard tried, apparently. Kawhi tried. Edwards tried. Victor Webb and Yama tried. and more people were willing to try, maybe because of the format.
I don't know. But Giannis used to try and then people kinda like said, stop.
So as long as people try, and I think a big reason. Why this format seemed to be enjoyed by people. was that we only got three or four minutes. out of two people who I feel like have caused the downfall of the All-Star game more than anybody. Luca.
And Jokic. These guys do not give a shit. No, zero. They don't. And we don't Whenever we talk about the L Star game, Edwards said something.
Anthony Edwards was like, Yeah, everyone kind of tries, but not those two for some reason. Good. Because nobody nobody If it was any two other guys. I don't know, man. Jokic's PR, like...
I've had one. Experience with him. And it was terrible. Yeah. He talked to some guy at his locker for 45 minutes.
I was hanging out with the Beat Writers. He came over to us and said, I have time for one question. I mean, I don't know. I I don't know. I don't I don't I don't I don't wanna ever use one interaction to like Dictate my whole But if it's the only interaction you have, like to be honest, it's kind of fair.
Like, I think everybody in the industry, you know, like Peter Rosenberg, he was a former Hot 97 morning show guy. He's on ESPN New York. Um, does a bunch of stuff does a bunch of stuff that I like, to be honest. Uh, you know, he worked, you know, worked with WWE. You know who Peter Rosenberg is.
I had one interaction with him, and he was a jerk.
So no, I don't like him. That's the only interaction I have with him. He could be a nice guy. I think he's pompous. I think he.
Um Is it this guy? Wait. America. Yeah. Yeah.
You know what this video is about? The NFL being socialist.
Okay.
What's a classic Bart Winkler take? Yeah, I will say this, you and Peter would get along. You just said you like him. I yeah, I I I thought I liked them. And then we cross paths and I'm like.
No, this guy's full of shit. And since then. And it's funny. I like them. I hate those kind of people.
No, you guys have a lot of similar interests. You guys are very aligned in certain things. But I could also see how he could rub you. You guys could rub each other the wrong way as well. Like, it's either or.
Either you guys are going to be complete in a bromance. Or your mortal enemies, like Bart and uh, you know. A sideshow, Bob. Mm, D bar D. That's true.
What? What do we have in common? Like Politics? 1,000%. How?
Well, I don't that doesn't mean I like the person. No, but you know, you guys like wrestling. Yeah. Like Big into wrestling. Does he like being good to his fellow man?
He does. He pe at least that's what he preaches. Does does does is he not guided by any Principles of politics or religion. He just wakes up every day and realizes that. It's just good to be a good person like I do.
Yeah. Yeah. Okay, well then maybe I would like him. Is he a phony? That was the impression that I got.
Which is why I'm like, mm. No, not a fan. No, no, that's no. No.
I don't even know how to be a phony. I'm not even good at it. Oh, I can totally be phony. 1000%. That's why I can't have money.
To be Phony.
So I'll start game.
Okay, I'll start game. All you got to do is try. The format was good until the old Headshots. got tired. Right.
But I think all you got to do is try. There's nothing more you need to do than this try. You'd like to As an Adam Silver hater. You'd like to give him a, you know. a W on this, but it's really the players tried more.
And Adam Silver is out there talking about. See, Adam Silver. Is one of these guys doing too much? We're heading to a dark place. Correct.
In society. Where There's too there's already too much content.
Okay, there's already too much content. Carlos and I are talking. On a Monday afternoon. to dozen of people. And that's already part of too much content.
So that the fact that we're even able to do this is too much. Yeah. But It's still It's still fine. Because You can seek it out. If you'd like...
And this is it.
So if you find it or you share it or This is what you get. Adam Silver's talking about Personalizing your experience. And that's where we're going to run into. We're going to run into some of this AI stuff I've been watching this last week. You know, with like the seed dance.
Oh, Greggie's here for us. My dad. Oh, I thought it was the other Greg when I say I was about to sign off. Oh, he did call into Westwood 1 yesterday. Look at my, my dad went AI, dad.
Um Greg in Michigan called in the morning? Yes, he called into Lynell Willingham yesterday. What'd he say? I don't remember because I immediately was like, oh, what the F. But he did not get a chance to do his signature sign-off.
I guess people don't know yet. Yeah Shit. But so what's going to happen is. Let's say doomsday comes out when it comes out, Avengers. I better.
And let's say it sucks. Or It doesn't It doesn't match what I wanted it to be. I'll be able to make my own doomsday. Yeah. And we won't be able to have a shared experience.
20 years ago, I just saw this tweet. American Idol and Dancing with the Stars. Maybe you don't love these shows. 30 million people were watching them live. That was 20 years ago.
I'm not talking about the nineties when ER would pull in, you know 40 million, that whole NBC, 40 million people were sitting down on Thursday nights. To watch friends, the single guy, Seinfeld. Boston Common or Caroline in the City, or suddenly Susan, or inside Schwartz, or. Whatever the fuck they put on there. And you don't do that anymore.
Yeah. TVs on your time. NFL, maybe, is it.
So that So that that's why but Adam Silver He wants that. He's a proponent of that. And I think that's a big problem. Yeah. It's a big problem.
What Adam Silver I think I think what I would like to see is Companies and leagues. Like yes, a show like this, yes. I want more Subscribers. I want more. Listeners I want more people to interact.
I want more. I love everyone that's involved now. I want more. Yeah. But I want to make it better for the people that enjoy what this is.
And not change it. to bring in new people that then alienate the people that like your product in the first place.
So it's just a matter of having more people find it.
Now, for the NBA. It's easy to find, but there's so many people I think that would have watched the All-Star game. They just didn't know it was earlier, or maybe they won't. And they have these content creators out there. That's fine.
I don't. I killed that. I don't know. Put it y w put it put it wherever. Spend those resources to make the product better, man.
I mean, what do I care what Mr. Beast and I show speed and gesture have to think? I actually kind of really dig I Show Speed. I got really into his tour of Africa. Not remotely interested.
If you give me the option, you know, start watching content from 10 of these creators or death. I think I'm going to choose death. Death, yeah, death, every time. Every time. Interesting.
Uh would you consider us content creators? No, because uh you know we didn't start from you know Twitch and YouTube and You know, sitting up. Yeah, oh well. Uh hey hey chat, what do you think we should do next? Uh should I uh should I take this water bottle and smash my face with it?
Like. What do you let me know in the comments? I'll do whatever Top Comment says. Yeah. And then they don't do it.
Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. In fact, I saw some girl because you know, if you, if you're a woman, you're a content creator, it just automatically, all you gotta do is post a selfie, and you know, a thousand dudes will thirst after you. Uh but some chick did the uh same thing. She's like, uh if this post gets 10,000 likes. I'll do whatever top comment says or top comment is.
The top comment was a guy that said, me. She hasn't undone him. She didn't do him? Yeah, not done him. You're all for odds.
Oh man. Um, did you follow much of the Kevin Durant saga? I saw Kevin Durant in a couple of different storylines. The one bit of audio, you know what? I might actually play it.
Let's see if I can actually... Let's see if I can find it. But Kevin Durant, apparently, he's got a burner, get higher 77, which was exposed. Over the weekend and the burner. What I um he hasn't learned his lesson Would I Yeah, that's a good idea then.
Well, we do this live whenever Carlos gets out of bed. Restore. I should do another lie. Then thank you. I'm on that.
Um But he's like shitting at what? Yep, Kevin, there. Oh, did you have a clip? No, but it's separate from what you were saying. Go ahead.
Continue with the burner. Oh yeah. So the big piece of evidence that I will share for you on the Dan Shaney. YouTube stream. And again, we're brought to you by Dan Shaney.
We're brought to you by Carl's Place. These links are available. You know where I'm going to send you to my link tree, which I spent some time updating. Uh it's in my Twitter bio. Look at this.
So Kevin Durant. Had this on September 2nd. He just posted this picture of an owl. But that same day This account was created in August of 2021. Where it's And and if you read the guy's tweets, it's all talking about hoops.
And he's in people's DMs. And he's saying things like Uh Sengoon can't shoot or defend. Um Devin Booker and Frank Vogel are dictators, Stalin and Hitler, Mussolini and Kim Jong-un. The Suns are my team when we lose, and Devin Booker's team when we win. Chris Paul doesn't know shit.
Oh. Yeah. Okay.
And he's not even in the league anymore. I will miss James Harden. He has a good heart. Kind of delusional, but I get him. Kyrie Irving didn't compete with me, but that triple-double addict Russell Westbrook did.
So these are a bunch of things that Kevin Durant. Has definitely said. Or we're assuming. No, it's him. I think it's him.
It's definitely him. And then every time they showed him like being introduced. Introduced on the floor. He's on his phone. It's not healthy.
Like doing damage control. And you know what's funny? I think he knows he has a problem. All right, so I found the clip. Let me see if I could actually play because now I'm just curious to see if I can actually throw audio here because that'll add some production value to this show.
And we could do a guess what they said. Yeah, you know, and I've done it already. I did it with Josh Graham. That was short-lived because now I'm not on that show anymore. Kevin Durant was asked by a reporter if he would give up Twitter.
or video games. If you could give up one thing for the rest of your life. Twitter or video games. Which one would it be? Yeah.
I'm gonna go Twitter. I'm going to go Twitter because they don't deserve it. To to hear this God-level talk that I'm giving to them. They take it for granted, cuz. I'm already known.
I saw that. I resonate with that. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I resonate with that. You have to know that you have a problem, man.
Like, you think your tweets are got level content? No, what's up with you? When you have a good one, you know. Uh I think I have a good tweet every single time, and it never gets picked up. Although, one of my tweets apparently got picked up by Pro Football Network, which is insane because I didn't even know that that was a site.
I'm learning about it for the first time.
Okay.
Yeah, I said the NBA was cooked and that got picked up. Why? It was last week. It was actually the content creator decision.
So, Pro Football Network, they pull up, they made a story up. First of all, I don't know why Pro Football Network of all places is like picking it up. I screenshotted it. Let's see. Uh no, of course I deleted it.
But basically it was saying the NBA world rips decision. uh to have content creators go Apparently, I am. You know, it's funny: the things I get picked up for, it's weird and random as shit. I got picked up. As part of the NBA world, ripping into the league for content creators, a couple of years ago, I did a hit with Dexter Henry on his New York Post SNY digital thing that he does.
And Sports Keyda. Picked up my quotes about Pete Alonzo that he should take a Cody Bellinger deal, which wound up happening. Um And I was called a Mets analyst. I'm like. I'm not a fucking Mets panelist.
I'm wearing Cubs gear. Like, I just happen to be talking about it. But yeah, it's amazing what things get picked up. And I think the things that get that should get picked up, nothing, silence, crickets. Big thanks to our sponsor, BetterHelp, for partnering with us for this important conversation about mental health.
This is Steve Smith here, former NFL wide receiver and host of the 89 Show on YouTube.
So, having a counselor and working with BetterHelp gives you an opportunity to really start to unpack, but people don't understand when you unpack things, you also open up a box that you're not always sure what's inside.
So, I think that's why seeing a professional is extremely important. If you need someone to open up to, visit BetterHelp. That's betterh.com/slash 89 to get started. With Sylvania, seeing better while driving at night starts with you. Because headlight bulbs dim over time, it can lose up to 50 feet of visibility before burnout.
That's why you shouldn't wait. Upgrade your drive with brighter lights for better visibility on the road ahead.
Okay.

So before a burnout darkens your day, up Creek to Sylvania and see better tonight.
Well, I want this to get picked up. And so I'm going to cut this separately. And what I'm about to do, I'm going to cut this separately and post it. And it's going to piss people off. Good.
I I've never ever felt like I have a take. That has so defined how people feel about me. And that's that I do not like Matt LaFleur. I don't want him to be the coach. Also I don't like him.
Yeah. And I'm a bad Packer fan. I posted something this morning that I don't even remember scheduling, but it was just me being. Like, oh, the Packers are complacent. They're not.
They're not going out. I want them to fire the floor. And then everybody. Says Well, they did this and they did this and If they wouldn't have been hurt, they would have won. Like, Matt LaFleur gets credit for these hypothetical.
Victories So let me show this to you here. Let me share this. Again, on the Dan Shaney YouTube screen. The Badgers had a nice win on Friday. And Matt LaFleur was At the game.
He was at a Phoenix Suns game. And now he's at uh this game.
So I will open up the video.
Okay.
And I'm going to take you through. What Matt LaFleur is thinking in his head. Look at the second comment. Don't let him around the program in March. No, second comment.
Shut up. I thought that was you for a second posting that. Yeah. So I gotta find the right place where I want to cut this. Because I want to get into it.
So here we go. This is going to be cut. For digital consumption. As you lay back and enjoy. The Proceedings.
And I just need to think of what I want to say.
Okay, ready? Are we ready? Matt LaFleur. is a dog shit leader. You try to pretend being inspired by this guy.
This is Malifle talking to the Wisconsin Badgers team. I am going to take you through what he is thinking during this 15-second speech to the team. Every time you step on that court, You play like that.
Okay, that's as vague as it gets. You can tell in his face, he's scared shitless. He knows that these kids don't care about him. You'd be tough, a really tough team to beat. but that was fun to watch.
His message is falling on deaf ears. This is the same Matt LaFleur in the same motivational way as your Green Bay Packers. Watch this. Keep it rolling now, one day at a time. Look at, he knows no one gives a shit about what he is saying.
So he's gonna go into the Matt LaFleur playbook, the Matt LaFleur bag of tricks, which is one thing, and he did it with the reporters in Arizona too. Matt LaFleur has lost this room within 10 seconds of talking him. To the room.
So May LaFleur. Let's hear the magic word. It's good. He said shit. Mel Lafleur said shit.
It's his only play. It's his only play. This guy can't motivate, and all of you people are fine with him being your head coach. And I'm the villain. I'm the villain!
Dude, see what I see? We're done. I just wanted to make sure I properly laid out. Do you see what I see?
So, yeah, you could hear the echo who's bouncing off of that room. There was one kid that said, yes, sir. Keep it rolling now, one day at a time. Sir, it's good. He's lost.
One guy was. Look at him. Look at him. He's not confident at all. He is lost.
Yeah. He is looking at a room that is not looking back at him, so he resorts. to saying the word shit. This is his play. I don't I don't understand.
There are so many people that don't. Look. There's so many people that don't like me. Which is fine. A lot of people they don't like me.
Only because of this. Like this, this is it. Bart, indifferent or whatever. This is what they don't like. They don't like that I don't like.
Matt LaFleur. Why should I? Oh, am I losing you? Am I, am I, am I, am I, am I, am I, am I, uh, um, um, I, I don't, I don't, I don't think he's worth a shit. You're going to lose people as followers like I did with my fake bad bunny video.
I had someone actually unfriend and block me. Block you. Yeah. She was so upset that I thought that she thought I was really laying into Bad Bunny and like. Yeah.
saying pseudo-racist things, which I was literally just mocking people who did not watch the halftime show. That it completely went over her head. And I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. You know, it's fine. As far as I know, only one person has blocked me.
And I've only lost one follower, but I've had a ton of people. Asked me, Hey, are you being serious about that take? And I'm like, Are you guys seriously moronic? Like. I'd see I believed I was producing high intellectual commentary there.
I thought it was so overtly sarcastic. And well done and well acted that You know, I should be applauded for my efforts. But no, I've had a bunch of people thought that I was being serious.
So at this point, I no longer want to get into sports. I want to get into acting. There is a Wonder Man role that is open. And I think I was born for it.
So I need to get in that movie. I need to be an actor because apparently I uh have the ability to win the Oscar.
So Let's make this happen. I actually think I I think I need to be an actor. I we are definitely both uh performing artists. No, like I don't I was part of the Seg After Guild for two and a half years because of my job. And after five years, you get a pension.
So, I don't know where I'm going to finish the next two and a half years.
So, I think I need to. I think I need to act. I think I need to get a role in a movie.
Well, they stopped asking me to pay my dues because I had not paid it. And thank God I didn't because we're all getting fired.
So that I would have been pretty pissed off if I paid for my union dues. But I wonder if I pay now. Can they start? getting me into These acting jobs. I could be like, hey, I'm unionized.
Is Westwood One Segaftra? I wouldn't know I'm an independent contractor. Oh, that's right. That is right. Um from one leader of men to another.
University of Milwaukee or Wisconsin-Milwaukee played the University of Wisconsin Green Bay last night. Hmm. I wonder who coaches them? My guy Bart Lundy getting the dub over my guy Bort. Doug Gottlieb.
And Doug Gottlieb did not like how the officials were officiating this game. And Kyle Malzon of Channel 5 in Green Bay. I'll just play a few seconds of this to get a taste of Doug Gottlieb's rant last night after their loss. I need the league to explain to me. Why I got a technical foul.
When I was, I did not curse. I was not demonstrative. I did not leave my box. All I said was, that's the same play as the other end.
Okay.
All we ask is that there's a fair game. That's what we ask.
Okay, CJ O'Hara goes and gets an offensive rebound. Their player dives at his legs. CJ gets called for a foul. I need Donnie at the league and the new commissioner to explain to me. The disparity in the officiating.
That's what I need explained to me. I got no problem. with um With their team, their staff, they played hard. They did what they do. They play tough and they play aggressive.
I need somebody to explain to me.
Okay, how? how just just those two there's others that i have massive issues with Okay. Others that have matched, including every time we touched them, there was a foul in the second half, the last play of the game, just to get the ball. They were grabbing us and holding us.
Okay, and again, I understand if you're not calling, hey, hey, he's screaming and yelling.
So I've been an anti-Doug Gottlieb guy. For a long time. Hmm. After seeing that, I don't know how you could be. I mean, I would run through a brick wall for him.
Well, don't be sarcastic for a second. I was actually being serious for a second. That's how good my acting is. I thought he sounded like a legitimate. Basketball coach.
I think I like Doug Gottlieb's solo coach, not radio guy. There you go. We're both seeing the same thing. I think I think When I watch him. Take his Radio persona and skills.
And then he's up at like. A lot of these guys at the podium don't have that kind of training to sit at a microphone and talk to a room. And get their point across. Godly has that from being in radio. Clearly.
My issue with Gottlieb was that he was doing both. That it was an affront to both Professions. And as I've talked about.
Some like Having two jobs, I'm not ripping on him for Just have one job. And no, a lot of people need two jobs, three jobs. It's tough out there. Or a job like us. Yeah, it's tough in here.
Okay.
Oh, apparently he cursed and turned. Banged on the table like a five-year-old. I didn't see the whole thing. Um Don't ruin my perception of him right now, because right now he's never been higher in my Q rating. But But Those two jobs, you can't do it.
You can't do both. Agreed.
host and a college Basketball D1 coach, just like you can't be. You know. president in charge of a corporation. Yeah, both things and yeah. And monuments, claws, and stuff like that.
But I yeah, I I I I respect The solo coach more. Because if if he did this If he did this and then had a radio show on Monday. Yeah. It'd be, oh, well, he's just doing that so we listen to his show. Yeah, so he and he can play back those comments on Monday.
But he's doing that. For his team, you have to assume.
So I I am pro. I am pro. Add a boy. I agree. I get it.
If you're just doing one, I get it. You can't do both. Wow. Someone's got to go check the temperature in hell. See if it froze over.
Because not only did he get you, he got me too. And I wasn't being sarcastic at all. I was just like, I don't know. I was wondering where you're going to go with this. I'm like, is Bark going to rip him?
Because I kind of like this. He sounded like a legit coach, and I was killing him right next to you. Yeah. Um I liked it. I think I liked it.
I'm going to go buy my now here. I am going to be sarcastic. I'm going to go buy my University of Wisconsin Gray Bay Jersey. Oh shit, yeah. That's okay.
Some other quick hitters as part of the national perspective show. Tyreek Hill has been released. About time. Bradley Chubb also got released if you weren't paying attention to that, so he's gone too. All right, so tonight's show would have been.
I would have started with the all-star game for 40 minutes. Sure.
Well both been blessed. Hour two, I think I would have talked about the Dolphins. Yeah. Where did it go next? Is Tua on the chopping block?
Which the answer is yes. He should be released. Yep, so then we talk dolphins and then I maybe do a little got leab. Oh, gotta hit the Kevin Durant stuff. 1000%.
I do kind of misplanning the show. Yeah. Yeah, I wonder what I would have got for guess what they said. I probably would have snuck in a Kevin Durant in there for guess what they said. I didn't watch the All-Star festivities, so it would have been hard for me to actually find sound.
and knew what the sound was about, I would have just randomly got sound out of context. But we would have had a guess what they said and that would have faked it the whole time. One thing I'm doing is I'm I'm like Reading less and and looking at less because I don't need to know it. Yep, me too. I get these emails from the athletic, and there's like, here's everything that's happened.
I don't care. I don't I don't care. I did watch uh Daytoner. Yesterday a little bit of that. Did you see who had the green checkered flag?
Didn't Jordan have it? No, Jordan's team won and then he yeah.
Okay, I knew Jordan was involved somehow. Or something weird. I guess it wrong, so give me a second. You get Nothing! You lose!
Good day, sir! No, you didn't see who did the checkered flag? No.
No, I d to be honest, I didn't know Daytona was on until it was over. All right, I'll show you. Ready? I'm listening. All right.
This is who did the checkered flag at Daytona. Uh yesterday. There he is. It's Bart Simpson. That's awesome.
Bart? Because The Simpsons aired their 800th episode last night. They're just at 800. That's it? Yeah.
I could have sworn they'd be in like into a thousand already. Maybe I was just like too ripped up on the happy place hemp seltzers. Are you talking about this one is also named Board? I thought they had two good episodes last night. There was one about how.
Kurt Van Houten invented a Uh crumbless cracker.
Now that I say that loud things too, but Don't. Mm-hmm. But it was good. But then Kirk's bipolar, and he was off his meds.
So. He was like super kirk and then and then like He was like telling Luann he wanted to have sex with him at the restaurant. I karumba. And then he crashed out pretty hard and he was depressed. Can I borrow a feeling?
And then family guy, Stewie and Lois, both got high, and then they like talked to each other for the first time ever on their 450th episode.

You are The kids kids upstairs, wife's upstairs. It's 10:30 on a Sunday.

Didn't work. on a national platform that everybody seems to love universally but yeah whatever Yeah, so many people said so many nice things and then.
Okay.
That's it. Gone.
Well, Tyna. Let's see what else is on. Flip the ch. I wonder if my LaFleur hate is holding me back in life. No, I don't think that did it.
Just my general attitude and yeah, that would do it. Oh, I can't believe I'm Barry the lead. I had dinner with Zach Galb on Friday. Yeah, where'd you go? We went to this Puerto Rican place in the Lower East Side of Manhattan in New York called Casa Adela.
And it's a very hole-in-the-wall spot. But very good Puerto Rican food because I finally paid off that Saquon Barkley bet that I made with him like two years ago. Oh man. Yeah, well, no, not steak. I had to just buy him dinner.
Uh he went and he uh specifically requested an authentic Puerto Rican uh meal.
So I was like. Bet. I know where this place is.
So we had a Shit ton of food. Everything was delicious and it only cost me 55 bucks. I made out like a bandit, man. It was a cash-only place.
So was this it? Yep, that's it. It looks so much nicer outside. When you go inside, it is definitely hole-in-the-wall bodega vibes. You know how I could because all of the All of the pictures are clos-ups of food.
Yep, exactly. Yes, they're not letting you know what you're actually sitting on. Oh, here we go. Yep, that was accurate. We were sitting in the middle of the uh Restaurant.
Are these like Puerto Rican legends on the wall? Uh to be honest, I didn't even notice any of it. I went right to the table. We just started ordering food. We had that roast pork, we had the rice.
Uh we had uh Yeah, a lot of people don't really know what it is. It's called an alcapuria, which is like yucca and ground beef and, you know. It's fried, it's delicious. Like it is in this picture. That's where we were sitting, right there in the middle.
That's where we're sitting at the uh I'm pointing like if people can see where I'm pointing at, they can't, but at the uh at the far edge of that table is where Zach and I were sitting. He was right in front of that Coca-Cola freezer. Bridge. Was he like, where the fuck did you take me? No, he walked from his apartment.
I thought that was the strangest shit. It was like an hour walk from him Because he's on the other side of Manhattan, you know, and like the money side. And he walked over and met me. It's all We talk shops. I would walk all the time.
I walked to Walmart today already. As if I know where that is. It's not that far. I think I live like a mile from a Walmart. I'm lucky if I walk a mile in a day.
Which is funny because I do so much working out and you think I would have. You think I'd be an Adonis right now? Although I am down to my lightest weight than I've been since I started, which is great. I'm at I can't get back under two. I'm pretty fucked.
I'm at 237. I was stuck at 240 for months. I'm finally broke that number. I'm at 237. Yeah.
I'm a piece of shit, so. Agreed.
All right, thank you, Carlos. You're very welcome. See you next week, everybody. And thank you for stopping into the Winklerverse. With Sylvania, seeing better while driving at night starts with you.
