Brought to you by Carl's Place. And again, live. on the Dan Shaney YouTube stream. You remember this guy? It's Grant Bills.
You remember this guy? It's Paul it's Paul Living. It is. Paul, go down the elevator quick. Go down the elevator quick.
Oh, there he goes. Little Austin Powers 2 humor. I don't remember the specific movie. Michael Scott, also. Yeah.
How are you guys doing, Grant? How are you, buddy? I'm doing excellent. Mm-hmm. Pleasantry, pleasantry.
Nice to see you both. You look well. Weather, weather, weather. Can you believe it? Baseball brackets, brackets, brackets.
Office pool. Office pool. Award shows. Award shows. Reward shows.
Mm-hmm. Yeah, gas price is outrageous. 70 degrees this weekend. It's like, is it winter? Is it spring?
I mean, oh, hey, but we don't have hurricanes and earthquakes here. You got to remember. Just take it away, Paul. Jesus Christ. Tim.
Actually, I think that's pretty quality stuff. What a start. All right, so we're four or five days late on this. How do you deal with small talk as a long-form enthusiast? You probably just never even.
You probably like You, you, you, because I go to drop off and pick up, and I interact with the others. You're probably in the car. Get the fuck out of here. You know? I d I just straight up don't participate.
You stand in an elevator and like you're facing the wrong way, looking at the back of the wall. AirPods in, post-hardcore music blaring. All right. Fair enough. We're making small talk now about small talk.
Which actually about small talk, which is interesting and is not. You know, cheap because there's something to learn or gain or something informational to be exchanged. Mm-hmm. All right, we didn't talk about this. It wasn't news last week, Tuesday, when we talked, but I do want to talk about Lambeau Field.
Bart, I don't think you've done that. I think I did it. Have you saved this for us? I briefly touched on it the other night after the bracket show. Oh, programming note.
It's probably a four-show week. Don't scoff at programming note. It's just the term programming note makes me laugh. It's like personal news, but the news is always professional. Personal news, I've accepted role.
That's not personal. Personal is I had a kid. Yeah, personal news is I'm, you know, a new neighbor moved in, and she's hot, and I'm going to cheat on my wife with her. That's personal news. By the way, Grant, if we clip this a certain way, it could be you could, it could be you saying, I had a kid.
Yeah. Hopefully. Hey, April Fools is coming up. Don't put anything past old Winkler over here. What was I saying?
Oh, I'm not expecting shows on Thursday and Friday. My kid is off of school. Why? I don't know, conferences, like conferences, yeah. Microphone spring break.
Yeah, spring break is not next week. It's the week after.
So they're throwing in some conferences here. I was going to go to Oneida and get drunk with my buddies and watch college hoops. Instead, I have to do my primary job. Which is dad. Daddy Daycare.
Mm-hmm. So I can't. I can't, you know, it's a little different. I can't. I can't have my wife take off work.
For me to play If I'm not You know. I gotta find my fun. I don't know. Whatever. And then, so I could do like a Badgers post-game show, and he's kind of like.
interested enough in, you know, YouTube and whatever this is that I'm sure he would love to join. But I cannot exploit my kid that way because, for whatever reason, we have decided as a society that kids should not have jobs. other than actor and YouTube. Yeah. So, if you're going to work a kid, you're putting them in something that's forward-facing, that's going to stick with them for the rest of their lives.
Mm-hmm. I think it'd be more beneficial to the kid if like at age nine, instead of being on YouTube. you know, he was bringing the carts back into the grocery store, but Child child labor laws only apply to non-entertainment. Entities. Hey, good job, Shadow Andrew Wagner.
Get him into the trades. Spend a day with Wagner. I mean, years down the road, maybe he's a little young, but no, this is actually the perfect time.
Okay.
Somebody in this house needs to know the difference between a fucking Phillips and a flathead. I'll tell you that much. And by the way, that would have been What was the report this week? Plumbers are going to be like the most in-demand job or the highest paid job? What was this thing about?
The latest on the yeah, because the AI is going to take over coders, douchebags. All those computer nerds who thought they were going to rule the world. They had a good five-year run there after I was out of college. Yeah. How about now?
Huh? I'd like to see AI do my job. There are gonna be I think it probably could. There are gonna be no jobs, you guys, like in f Five months. All right, let's talk about, let's talk about.
There's a few ways. That I wanted to take this, but and I might. Eventually go down each path. But I want to start with this one. I'm going to use the phrasing of one Aaron Nagler.
who wrote, Ed policy has a long runway thanks to the work he did with Mark Murphy in creating and expanding Title Town, but selling a form of Lambeau field naming rights and even taking state money are pretty much inevitable. I'll take the first part of that and say selling the naming rights to Lambeau Field. is inevitable. Mm-hmm. Or mm-mm.
Well, policies, didn't he kind of walk back that, or didn't somebody walk that back for him? I didn't see it. Yes, I didn't see it. But either way, regardless, I mean, in our lifetimes, it's not. Lambo Field.
It's inevitable that it will be bought. For some amount of money. And it'll be, maybe it'll be called. You know, is it Kansas City where they have like the at. You know, they have the double name thing.
G-E-H-A and at Arrowhead, which by the way. Mile high was in Invesco, or it might be something else, even.
So it could be that. But it's it's inevitable that Lambeau Field will have Either not be Lambeau Field, it'll just be called whatever the sponsor name is, or it'll be a dual name like that. That is inevitable. Mm-hmm, or mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm. Yeah.
I feel like it is.
So I'll give a soft mm-hmm.
Okay.
I feel like it is.
May I just present my overall thoughts on the matter? Please. Or mm-hmm. It would be. It would be like trying to perform brain surgery on myself.
If I on this podcast, which is Built up by listeners and sponsors. To then shit on the act of getting a sponsor. I mean, that would just be, that would be very stupid. Um And sponsors are great.
Okay.
I would encourage you to take advantage of all of mine. Here on the Winkler verse. As I have been telling you, and you've been doing.
So, thank you for keeping it afloat. And then there's simple things like I'm wearing an Adidas. Like I'm advertising Adidas right now. You know, my kid wears Nike all the time.
So it's a big rivalry in the household. Just kidding. I don't fit in this shirt. And the only reason I'm wearing it is it's green and you can't see from the bottom down. Yeah.
I would not be as bothered. about Lambo having to do this. If they really said, we have to do this. It has to be blank at Lambeau Field. Or or else.
Yeah. Obviously, you would choose that. They've already tried to get away with it as much as they could with the different gates. The gates are sponsored. A lot of different stuff is sponsored.
Are we like sponsoring first downs yet?
Some places do that or Sax, it's like another, you know.
So there's, there's, if there's a will, there's a way. And I don't have a problem with it. The issue that I, and that's kind of shocking to me. You know, it's Lambeau Field. You would think that the whole world can be sponsored, but one thing shouldn't, and it's Lambeau Field.
Right. But if that had to happen Two things. would bother me. One. The whole point of being an owner.
Is to lord over other fan bases that we don't have to do the kind of shit that they do. That's true. We don't have to worry about moving to Indiana because we paid the Packers our money. We don't have to worry about. If we don't like the name of the sponsor on the building, because We uh paid the money so it would It would be a tough sell for me.
Like, what am I paying for? Plus, I think you could do another stock sale. Yeah. and get a good portion of the money that you are looking for. The bigger issue I would have.
Quite honestly. is Who the sponsor would be. I wanna I was wondering where that pivot might be because leader in the clubhouse feels like it would be quick trip. And then I might, then I might root for the fucking Bears. The Indiana Bears against the Packers at quick trip field.
And if I may. I like Quick Trip. I've been going to Quick Trip my entire life. I patented the quick triple. Which is buying breakfast, lunch, and dinner in one day from their hot bar.
on different occasions. Went there in the morning went there at lunch when I was in Fondi. We worked right by a quick trip. You know how much I was in that building? And when I was in Foni, that gas was like 450 when I was driving up there.
Remember that?
So I've given Quick Trip a lot of my dollars and will continue to do so. In fact, I would like to continue to do so, but there are none in Milwaukee proper. And I would say that quick trip isn't even. The issue I have, even though I think their Twitter account's lame, but which one isn't. The gas station fetish culture.
I just can't get into it. Like, oh, Bucky's, yeah, it's big. You don't need to wear a fucking shirt. You know, you don't need to act like it's the only. It just really bothers me.
And it kind of, the root of this is, I feel like. I feel like I was a quick trip pioneer. Like, I liked Quick Trip when they were an indie rock band. And now that there's Literally quick trips across the street from each other. Fond du Lac.
I'm not as into it. The quick trip field at Lambeau or Quick Trip Stadium at Lambo Field. would bother me. Basically, every other sponsor. I want to fight more against it.
But there's only so many Lambeau field battles I can have. And I'm going to focus on kicking out old people rather than. Not having the stadium be sponsored. Does QuickTrip, Paul, you're a man of business. Does QuickTrip have it like that?
You know what I mean? You th you think about companies like FedEx Field. My dad worked at FedEx growing up. He always talked about the mountains of money that FedEx spent for that. Quick trip is obviously a huge company and growing, but it's It's regional.
Right. How regional is it? I don't even know. I mean, they're in the cities and they're in Iowa, and I guess a little down into Illinois, but like the Packers Stadium. No, I.
By the way, I only brought that up because I figured where Bart was going.
Well, and then the fact is people are already like mocking edits, like Culver's Field and Quick Trip Field, and it's like. I j I I I'm sorry. As a proud Wisconsinite. Not Sconi. I just can't.
Can't. Get into I can't get into gas station culture here. I can't even get into Mars cheese castle culture, guys. I truly can't believe that there is such a thing that one might even term gas station culture. What do you tribalize?
Do you tribalize Wisconsin beer? Like, what will you get your backup for? Like, this is in Wisconsin, this is our thing. Like, do you is there anything you I don't believe I will ever drink a yingling within state borders. Same, I'm with you.
I'll have one. Elsewhere. If I'm on the east coast, that's what it's for. I will not have one in state borders.
So that Cheese curds. I was gonna say cheese cards. When people make fun of me at road games and say, You love cheese. I go to the concession stand. I say, could I have some nachos hold the chips?
And I come back with a bowl of cheese and just Like, I scoop it in front of these people. Bear scoops through my hands, like a bear. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I'll tribalize.
I was in Denver this weekend. I'll tribalize a Bloody Mary. They're just, they're crappy. You gotta, you can't order a normal Bloody Mary. In a different city, you need to order their spiciest one because their spiciest one is just what a normal Bloody Mary should be.
Yeah, they make Bloody Marys like that's like mixed drinks, like, oh, tomato and vodka. Here you go. Yeah, it's it's uh it's spaghettio juice on ice. That's what it is.

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 that 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. Um grant, it's it's inevitable that Lambeau Field will be named.
something not just lambeau field Mm-hmm. Probably. And I don't inherently disagree with anything. In fact, I agree, I think, with everything Bart said. I'll try to add something that he didn't hit on.
That I feel like Bart would probably agree on. It's a bummer that it's come to this. And I think people's frustration right now with the NFL. I don't think most people have a problem with folks making money. With wanting to make more money, with wanting to get more fans.
The NFL the last couple of years has really. tried to push it. in that we're going to allow private equity investment. It's like, well, did we need that? We're making a lot of money.
Like, the players should continue to make more money. And like, I'm not, I'm not. against a business growing. It's like, man, that's. Are we going to put owners in positions where, if they feel like they're not opening up a stake of their team to private equity, they're behind the eight ball?
And the Packers are obviously a unique example. And I think that the international games are an extension of that. It's like, well, we're making money hand over fist here. How can we continue to do that? We're going to send games all over the globe.
We're going to get Bad Bunny to do the halftime show.
So, I know globalist is kind of like an Alex Jones, like, I think a satirical term. Maybe it's not. I don't know. But it feels like the NFL, like. It's eaten everything it can here, and now we got to go bigger.
And it's leading to some places and some things where it's like, I guess I'm not anti, but I just wondered, like, did we need that? Do we need private investment? Maybe, maybe you could tell me that we do, and you could tell me why. Do we need that many international games? Like, I think that's did you see the TV?
Did you see the season starting on Wednesday now? Yeah. Yeah. And you play the Melbourne game on Thursday. And even, like, again, it is what it is.
But why does the NBA want to expand to additional teams?
So that someone can pay seven to ten billion dollars for one and it changes the valuation of the other 30 teams, and then the owner's gonna say, No. A team is worth seven to ten billion. Oh, did they get it? Quick note on that. Anyone that thinks.
Minnesota shouldn't be the team to come east. Look at a fucking map. I've not done research on this. Who is more Easterly? Easterly?
Memphis is more East than the Twin Cities.
So then it should be Memphis. But what's the closest team to Minnesota in the Western Conference? Denver? Yeah, or yeah, Denver. Yeah.
That's us. The point is. For the point the reason you have divisions is to lower the travel. True.
So, you were close to Minnesota, and it'd be sweet to have an NFC north of basketball. Can I also interject? The Twin Cities is farther west than Memphis. I was going to say, I need to check. The Twin Cities is farther west than Memphis.
It's not by a lot, but it is. But it's stranded there. Yeah. Could you imagine being a Bucks fan? We're like.
Half of your games started at 9 fucking 30. Oh, that's true. And same with the Mavs. Mavs go through that, Rockets, all those Western teams. But to be fair, that's what Grizzlies fans are currently doing.
And true of the Y. Aren't they in the east? Oh, no, they're central. They're central. Memphis, Tennessee would be central.
Let me say this, though. Let me say this. I think. We can't We can't go too hard. On Lambo having naming rights.
Because What is the name of our football team? The Packers. after the Acme Packing Company. We've essentially been a sponsored name. This entire time.
The well, let me ask you this. did a search to see Oh, and like a list of all the I thought that would get more of a aha from you guys, or Eureka, or you're a genius, or. Any sort of head nodding. Yeah, that was a good one, makeup. Thank you.
That was a good one. That's a good one. Yeah. The other stadiums Can you name all the what other stadiums can you name in professional sports in the United States? that the stadium name is not sponsored.
Well, Wrigley's gum. Just, you know, Soldier Field. Wrigley did come up as one that is not sponsored because it was William Wrigley Jr. That it was named after, but I know what you're saying. Fenway is Fenway.
What's Fenway? Fenway's correct. That's Yankee Stadium. Yankee Stadium's on there. There are eight MLB stadiums, which is by far.
City Field. City Field. Yeah. The citibank left. They changed the name to CITY Field just for New York City.
I don't know if you guys read that yet. It's totally real. Didn't. Didn't read it yet. Nationals Park, Angel Stadium, Dodgers Stadium.
Kaufman Stadium, Kansas City. Apparently, that's nothing. Oriole Park at Camden Yards is on this list. Is that right? And then in football, it's just Arrowhead, Lambo, and Soldier Field.
But Arrowhead's like partly Geehav Field, Gehav, whatever you know. That one's a partial, but it was. I mean, what is that five years ago that they weren't no longer just Arrowhead? And then In the NBA and the NHL, the only one. According to this.
is Madison Square Garden. Yeah. That's it. It's not a hill I would die on of caring.
So. I've it seems inevitable. Mm-hmm. But It will be Well actually, Bart, I remember back in the day. You and Chuck argued about, I'm trying to remember whose side was on which, so remind me.
about was it a dome question or was it a bullet wanted a roof at lambo Which by the way, I think you got angry with me because I was like. Yeah. And sorry, don't come. Hey, chat. I want to hear it.
I just like comfort. Um But But what did you also argue about? It's a totally out-of-character chat from you. Yeah, Paul's never addressed the chat before. Paul would do this if it wasn't posted anywhere and he's the one addressing the chat directly.
That'd be way better. Yeah. It was more of a playoff with a guy whose Instagram content I enjoy where he just does like his, what up, fam? You ever seen those? That guy's great.
Yeah, sure. Um everyone's a star, even us. No, he's really good though. uh well good at what is it entertaining um It's not something I would care about, I don't think. But was it the bleachers topic, Bart?
Did you guys argue about Lambo replacing bleachers with? Actual seats. I'm trying to remember if this was ever something that came up. Like, I would much more care: hey, if you can get that money and put in seats. Take the money and run.
Like, name the stadium whatever you want, put in seats instead of the bleachers. No? Is that like what a crazy take it would be to ask people to And the other thing on stage two, and we talked about this with relation to the waiting list for Packer season tickets. Just charge more. Like, I'm sorry that that's a crazy concept.
Like, up the price by 50%, and you'll have plenty of money. Yeah, but they've kind of they're they've already Already what? Charge more? Charge the team. Or get off the waiting or get off the list.
Fine. You want to get a bunch of people who don't want to be there off the list. 50% price up those tickets. They will drop. Chad, tell Paul that he's wrong.
I could have a conversation about the police. I'll fight on this one. This one I'll fight about. This one I feel good about. The bleachers, there's no good bleacher seat because you're either in the middle and you can't get through, or you're on the end and then you're fucking in the aisle.
It's a terrible, it's a terrible experience. It just really is. But. And what is tradition but memories that I can't finish. I don't know.
What is grief if not love preserving, Wanda Vision? Bart, we still even last week. When we were doing this, like when you did the thing that. Oh, tradition. I do know.
Tradition is peer pressure from dead people. That's what tradition is. I saw that somewhere. It's peer pressure from dead people. I have not heard or seen that.
Even last week when we were doing and you talked about the thing that you did at the brewer stadium, you just straight up called it Miller Park. You're still going to call it what you're going to call it. You can still call it Lambeau Field. If it's called something else, you can. I mean, well, because the Brewers play at American Family Field.
But if I'm going to the building, I am going to Miller Park. That's one way to look at it. There was the whole thing that back when it was being called FISER Forum, and everyone was like, No one's going to call it that. They're going to call it the news. I thought we'd call it the new Bucks Arena forever.
Or the forum. And what were the old? And then, oh, I can't do that because of Los Angeles. And. But I call it now.
I call it Fiserve. Fiserve. Where are you going to watch the show? Oh, it's at Fiserve. At Fiserve.
It's a fi serve. Which that's the kind of sponsor that I would like. One that I'm like, what do they sell again? What do they do?
Something that doesn't like. Oh, I like that. Yeah, something that doesn't. Change the identity. Like, oh, it's.
It's quick trip stadium now, so every fucking concession is going to look like the hot bar, and we're going to have. fake gas pumps you could take a picture of. What percent of Packers family? Charlie Barrens is going to do the kickoffs. What percent of Packers fans are like legit?
Pissed. The day that Lambeau Field is called Something else.
Well, I think it's another part of or is it a thing you yell about for two days and then you're done? Yeah, it's aliens miss their window. Right. Because it just happened in the 90s. We're freaking out.
Oh, big time. We live in a different world. Title Town. You know how many homes got destroyed? Kmart's.
Kmart's. Kmart. Literally came apart, as my dad used to call it. Really? Did I ever tell you guys what he called pick and save?
Yeah. The Booger Bank. Because you pick your nose and save it. Oh, the booger bank. The booger bank.
Oh What do you I'm I I'm giving you I'm giving you classics today. Yeah. Oh Jesus. Anything else? Maybe traditions are dead people.
I gave you what was the first thing I got no sold on? Jesus Christ. Sorry. Mm-hmm. Uh anything else on Lambofield naming rights?
I did see somebody tweet that they should sell it to Lamborghini, and then they can still call it Lambeau. L-L-E-O. Mm. It's uh It's stolen land at the end of the day, so name it whatever you want, I guess. Damn, all right.
Packers adjacent. Malik Willis. is set up to fail in Miami.
So this comes on the heels of Jalen Waddell being traded. Name the Dolphins wide receivers. That would be like a true test of NFL fandom if you can name like four Dolphins wide receivers. Um Malik Willis is being set up to fail.
Now, I say this specifically: why would I not say also like Halfley and others? Because they have longer-term contracts. Malik Willis is really like a one and will see, at two years at best. If Miami is kind of, hey, we'll give this Malik Willis guy a try. And we're really going to surround him with nothing.
They can draft a quarterback first overall, third overall, whatever they might get a pick for next year. Hapley's still there. John Eric Sullivan is still there. Like the guys who just got long-term contracts are still there. But meanwhile, it has made me.
Question, you know, I get the connection to Halfley that Malik Willis might have chosen Miami over. The Jets, which seems like a place you go to have your football career die, or to Arizona to work with the other LaFleur brother. But now that you spend now that Jalen Waddell is this. Unbelievable talent, apparently enough to get a first and a third round pick for, which is its own topic. Um, but I started thinking like, oh, I think Malik Willis might have made a bad decision.
So Malik Willis, especially post-Jalen Waddell trade. Is set up to fail in Miami. Grant. He's got his hand up. He raised his hand.
Well, I mean, I'll go fast. I just think there's a difference between set up to fail. And knocked. No, no, no, no. I can get this.
I can get this. There's a difference between set up to fail and not perfectly positioned to succeed. You know what I mean? Like, I don't think he's set up to fail. I just don't think the Dolphins and John Eric Sullivan are.
fully interested in like, it's gotta work with Malik Willis. I think it's a very Packers-ish thing. We're going to go sign this guy who's. I think on a relatively affordable contract compared to maybe what we thought he would get. I understand he only played 15 games and it's a lot of money.
It's a great contract for him, but they didn't have to completely break the bank to go get him.
So that was probably John Eric Sullivan saying, all right, we're going to get one quarterback and now we're going to start maybe looking for the next guy. And if Balik Willis turns out to be awesome, then. Then This year won't matter anyway. Is him being awesome? But honestly, is him being awesome even possible with what he has to work with?
I think it's very plausible that the next things the Dolphins do now, especially after this, is like Devon A-chan is gone. Like, why would he? Why would you? Why would you not, at this point, if you're Miami, why would you not also sell every valuable piece you have? You're clearly kind of trying to stink.
In 2026. It's not the NBA. I don't think it's like, hey, let's go one in. 15 or 1 in 16, it's, hey, a team is desperate enough to give us a first and a third for a receiver that's probably max. Like, that's not a sign of a yard sale.
That's a sign of like, Jesus Christ, you hear what these guys are willing to give us, you know? Yeah. But now you I agree with that, but now you are still left with what you're left with, which is Nothing at pass-catching position. I don't think he's set up to fail. I don't think they've gone all in on.
Helping him succeed. And to be fair, They paid him. Like, that's what the money is for. Like, hey, man, we're going through a bit of turmoil right now.
So, this is your big paycheck. You might not have the best wide receiver. But again, like if Malik Willis is who some Packers fans think he is, long-term franchise quarterback, better than Jordan Love, superstar, like if he's that guy, Then he'll be good enough this year. And this won't ruin him. You know what I mean?
And if he is what we think he is, a bridge guy who doesn't cost that much. Then he'll be able to perfectly serve that role for the Dolphins, and he made a bunch of money.
So, no, I don't think he's been set up to fail. But do you I mean do you any part of does any part of you though think, before I go to Bart, that I mean, Malik Willis didn't Wake up happy to see Jalen Waddell train it. Like, do you think there's any like, we don't know what his other contract offers were. Let's say they were identical from Arizona, the Jets. Let's just maybe just call those three.
And now Waddle's gone and you're starting to get a clearer sense of where the team is going. You don't think there's any like remorse here from Malik Willis? Like, oh shit, if I would have known this, I might have reconsidered Arizona. I'd still rather go to Miami than Arizona or New York. We've had to make this a.
Financially driven episode, but remember there's no state tax in Florida. Yeah. There's also there's also no Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison Junior in Florida. And they're winning the West with Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison. You know what I mean?
Like, I don't know. It's a much more competitive roster.
So they have Malik Washington, who I remembered. And then I was going to say Trent Sherfield, who hasn't played there in four years. Did they just sound like 2-2 at well? Yes. Jalen Tobbert?
He should go play for Mike LaFleur. God, look at those two choices. Jesus. You can play for Mike LaFleur or Jeff Hafley. Good luck.
Malik, here, what was your question so I can give it a Malik Willis is set up to fail in Miami. Can we do one for it? Does not give a, it doesn't, what am I saying? It doesn't matter. Like Malik Willis This is all gravy.
No, I just yes, no, it's all gravy. Malik Willis. Came out of college. People were like all right, he's good at fucking liberty How's that going to translate into the prose? It absolutely did not.
He then played for the Packers in a backup role. which made him look better than he is. We think. I think Malik Willis is a competent quarterback. I think he's leagues behind Jordan Love.
I think he can run better. And that has people deceived. He was also asked to pass in high-leverage situations minimal times, which he excelled at. He was very good. He was very good in the role that he had.
And he turned that. Into $30 million, right? I think so. I think this is going to be a case with the most do. of respect that I've ever given.
Like, I think Malik Willis did a great job here. He will do an adequate job as the starter in Miami. Even with these obstacles. But he is a guy who is so good at like uh Just a job. And then you're like, man, you're so good at that job.
Let's make you the manager of this job. Oh, sure. He failed upwards. What was it? Yeah, what's the recent from a year ago?
He's failing upwards, but he's being promoted. You should just give him more money for the thing he's doing good. Instead, you're promoting him, you're taking him from a backup quarterback to a starting quarterback. Just like, oh, this guy's a really good, he's one of my best employees. I'm leaving.
He's going to be the manager to take over for me. Maybe he's not a manager, though. Maybe he's just really good at the thing you hired him for. Pay him more money to do that than give him all these other responsibilities. Not saying that he can't do it.
But we are, we have seen him try and he's failed.
Now he's older. He was younger then, obviously, less experienced. And I'm not going to close the book on Malik Willis being. potentially A top 16 starter in this league. But he's not going to be top five.
Well, let me go to my next question then. And this this is what I've So my answer is mm-hmm. I like, I think. If I'm Malik Willis or even like his agent, I'm like, oh, like. If you're Miami, Miami would have done this trade 100 times out of 100 if you're the front office.
But I might have some remorse from him.
So, Malik Willis will be an NFL team's starting quarterback going into 2027. Good question. Probably still Miami, unless they, you know, draft somebody.
Next year, I mean, we say this every year before, full year before a draft, but like the quarterback class for next year's draft looks incredible. I just think the draft in general, everyone says next year. I mean, look at all the picks that teams are looking to acquire in next year's draft. Sure. Like, how many of those trades have been made?
The Packers, like, we'll take a fourth in next year's draft. It is obviously rare, though, that like this year with one QB as a first-round grade. Like, Dan Orlopsky says Ty Simpsons tape looks just as good as Fernando Mendoza. Yeah. Denolovsky is the male Diana Rossini.
Take that for what it's worth. That's harsh.
So basically I'm saying he fine. Um let me say this though. Let me try to workshop something with you here. Mm. For my show tonight.
Oh yeah. My new nickname for Malik Willis is Makeup Willis. Because We've only seen Malik Willis in short stints at his best.
So you're only seeing this girl. On prom night at the ball. You're only seeing her when she's putting all the effort in, men too. You're not seeing her. We haven't seen Malik Willis when he first wakes up in his natural beauty.
We haven't seen Malik Willis come home and go right into comfies after a 10-hour day. We've only seen Malik Willis in full makeup. Makeup Willis. Really strong. Sex is to take He worked that men too.
He did work that in there. Men. I watched Harry Styles on SNL. I worked in men. Yeah.
Um Bart? Malik Willis will be some team's NFL starter and going into 2027 season. I believe he will. Mm-hmm. My money?
Maybe. But he's not, he's not going to. I was gonna say he's not gonna make Pro Bowls, but Malik Willis. He almost did this year. I mean, Jesus Christ.
Malik Willis will have a better 2026 season than Kyler Murray in Minnesota. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-mm. No way, right?
No, you have thoughts on Kyler in Minnesota. Yeah, I mean, he's good. Yeah, he's gonna, I mean, he's. It's going to work. He's going to be very good.
Because, to be clear, Kyler, who. Yes. You know, a bottom 10 NFL starter at this point. Kyler's nasty. What?
Dude. He's going to make Minnesota much, much, much better than they were in 2025. But he's a bottom ten starter. Hey, unrelated, do you want J.J. McCarthy for a first in our Dynasty League?
Let's re-explore. Only if you'll also include uh Chuba Hubbard. Whoops. Um Then secondarily I mentioned Devon Achan. I I I was a little bit surprised.
That You know is this the Packers running back room? I don't think it can be So Especially Josh Jacobs. I mean, we're getting what is he 28 now, 27? He's on his seventh year. I know that.
And whatever happened to. Milk Carton Lloyd, another classic, another classic. Um You'd go up to a third for Devon A-chan. Without the What's it? With Jacobs?
They called on Devon Achan. He's making $6 million against the cap this year, and that's it. Still on Eric Sullivan down there? That's what I'm saying. There's the there's the connection with all the Packers people and You know what, Paul, you son of a bitch?
I might just do a segment on this tonight. Not a long one, end of the hour type of thing, like 54 to 59 type of thing. Just mostly because it's slow. And if I say it now and it happens, I can circle back and be a massive fuck about it. I'll credit you though.
I would, I mean, Devon Han's very good, very good. And if you paired him with Jacobs. Yeah. I mean, I I'd trade a second, but we already gave that up for Brandon Aubrey.
So I guess I'd do a third. Yeah. We don't need picks if you have Aubrey, HN, and Parsons. You don't need picks at that point. Let's do this.
Let's do this classic trade here. Nobody's worse than this prick when you're having sports conversations. I do a third for Han and a sixth, or A Chan, the guy who always needs to dress up the. I do HN for 64, but I want 181 back in return. You know, that type of thing.
So basically, it's exactly. Paul always gets that last fourth-round pick, that fucking asshole. The 2028. You can send Paul a train. It's always like, I will never.
I'm so mad at you for even suggesting this deal. It's such bullshit. But if you can hook me up with $3 a fob. Yeah, but if you gave me a fourth in 2028. I suppose, sure.
Yep. Because the backers do need a certain number of picks.
So, could they give up a third for HN and get a, you know, whatever, give a little something back? Do you ever think about switching insurance companies to see if you could save some cash?

We're going to go more In depth. Brewers topic next week before opening day.
Here's my quick one. Just to tease up for next week. I got to show you guys something at the end here so we can go. No, no, no, after, because I said three and it's getting close to three. I got time.
I got time. But I've decided I'm going to post this after I come back from drop off. Instead of before the The Brewers will win their fourth consecutive NL Central title this year. I mean They shouldn't Don't take this the wrong way. They shouldn't have last year.
The reason they won the division last year. is because they pulled Two. 10 plus game winning streaks out of their ass. Like last year, the Brewers and the Cubs were basically the same team. Cubs had a great season last year.
Like, Cubs fans and the Cubs media that I consume were all like, well, fuck. I mean, like, because the Brewers got to their second half, it's like, all right, now they got six against the Dodgers coming out of the break. And like, and the Brewers just didn't lose. Yeah. So The Cubs won what a low nineties in the low nineties and they added Bregman.
and some pitching. I would I would have to say just Mm-mm. We will not. I would have to, if I had to bet my house because of the Cubs. I think so, yeah.
Well, if I had to bet my boat, I would say. Look. The reason what is the number one reason why you would say yes? What is it? Because they keep exceeding expectations.
At some point. At some point they won't. And also What are you basing this? Are you basing it on this year's team? Or are you basing it on last year's two wild burger runs.
You know, one and then close to one. I don't think they will. I don't think they will. Because of the Cubs, yes, to be clear. I think we might be low-key, guys.
Low-key. I think we might be. In for a rough fucking summer. What? Like, we can't catch the fucking cubs situation.
Well but still winning, but just Cubs have Cubs are gonna go win a hundred games or something. Council's got that taste of Whitefish Bay, girls' basketball glory. He wants to bring that into his clubhouse. He actually forced a smile for once, I saw. Hmm.
There's gonna be a new man down there. I don't know. The only reason for me to say the Brewers are going to win is that they continue to defy the odds. Sure. I'm not expecting them to win the division.
If they do, fine. I mean, good. Not yet. I mean Yeah. Also, to some point, they have to miss the playoffs again because they're running out of room to put the flags at Miller Park on the backstop there.
I'm gonna put up a flag for going. 29 and 31 in making the playoffs. We'll go more in depth next week before opening day, but just because I'm going to say, they're going to win their fourth year in a row. Why not? All right, what do you got, Bart?
What's your other thing you want to hit?
So I want to show you guys a little behind the scenes work. On uh chat GPT. If I may. Could I share with you, and this again, this is Dan Shaney YouTube stream. Maybe.
'Cause I'm showing video. Do you guys see I just posted this picture? No. I did see that. Yes, it's the meme of the guy saying, Thank you for changing my life.
And it's the Apple Weather app. For I'm literally just an accurate forecast. It goes along with my bit of loving the Apple Weather app. Which is not a bit, it actually is what I use and it works.
So I don't know what the problem is. I would like to show to you how painstakingly tough that was. To get ChatGPT. to do that. That very simple.
I've used Chat GPT before. To help me with graphics, that's the thing I use it for. Is that illegal? Should I be paying a college kid?
So here's what I did. I took this, I said, Thank you for changing my life. I found the meme somewhere else. And it's Mother Teresa. I'm literally the mother of God.
I love you, my son. That's not. Continue. Continue. Not Mother Teresa, that's Mary.
Okay.
Keep going. I wasn't really looking at it. And then I gave the Apple. icon okay And I said, Can you change I'm literally the mother of God to I'm literally just an accurate forecast? Replace the woman with the second picture.
It gave me it without that blue background, you see. Then I said, they are great. Could you make one edit? I want the first picture to be as is. and then the blue background behind the cloud sun photo.
So then ChatGPT did it, but it was too big.
Okay.
I wanted it to look little, right? Mm-hmm. Then I redid the logo and I said the blue background's too big, just make it this picture. And then it gave me back to the starting point with no blue logo. Then I said, with the background, don't change a thing from the picture I'm providing.
Then it made the whole background blue. Then I said, How are you fucking this up so bad? Yeah, that's on me. Yeah, that's on me. You've been clear, and I keep overgenerating.
I'll fix properly now, please. Then he gave me whatever the fuck this is. where it's superimposing the thing I want onto the original. Then I said, Oh my god, dude. Then I got a free, I got an email for a free upgrade for ChatGPT Pro for a month.
And I said, fuck it. I'm going to do it. I need this thing. Hurry, I'm running out of credits. Actually, take your time.
Do what I said, please. And it gave me this, whatever the fuck this is. Then I said I upgraded to plus. Can you just do it how I have been clear asking? And it went back to the original with no blue icon.
Before it then gave me the blue icon and a full blue background. Before it finally gave me what I wanted.
So, how many times is that? Seven, eight times before it finally gave me what I wanted? And this is the shit that's going to be taking over our jobs? Yes. Why did you do that?
You have. You have editing skills. Yeah, but I don't have paint on here. I don't know where else to edit it. I tried a meme generator, but I need to give my email.
So I So, I did a fake $20 upgrade instead. You didn't want to do an email.
So, instead, you had a half-hour exchange with. Artificial intelligence. Did you guys see that Pokemon Go has helped mapped all these cities and Recaptcha has helped train AI? Mm-hmm. And now that they don't need us.
Little tiny insect drones are going to fly around. and shoot us right in between our fucking eyes and kill humanity. It's a good way to end. It's the only way to end, some would argue. I see what you did.
All right. Anything else from my esteemed colleagues? I mean, it's a pleasure to be considered a colleague. Wow. Show.
What do you think? I don't have any college. Make sure you catch. Grant show from 454 to 459. Or 554 to 559, where he will talk about Devon H and to the Packers.
This will be the most recent referencing of you and your material since I had to back off my take that I didn't think extending or keeping a coach was the same thing. And I had to walk that back and agree with you. Remember when we had it out? I did have to. Yeah.
Hey Grant, what do you consider to be prime time for your two-hour window? What's your prime time block?
Well, probably is four, like four. Like, I'm just gonna. Four and five probably.
Okay.
I would have guessed that. By the way, there are now you have to be specific. Prime was always 10 at night. 10 was prime time.
Okay.
Well, because that's what you're going to do up to 10. But 10 is when you started 11 and 12. Chicago and other markets started at 10 then, right? Yeah. That was part of the reason, wasn't it?
Yeah, I was a little Chicago baby bitch, yeah. By the way, you have to now be specific when you talk about your HMs because there is now. Devon Hen, Travis, and Trevor H N. Thankfully, Kyle Brandt put out a nice message about protecting your name. Oh, D.
How did I miss this? Do you know his name is actually pronounced Kyle Brent? I just don't like the candid. I always call it the youth pastor thing, where it's like, I'm like, nothing's that important on sports. Television or radio.
Nothing's that important. This is like Dobbs Dubs. Yeah. What are some other like, well, have there been a few? Tanya Tunyon.
Oh, Tanya and Tunyan? Athanasio. That never existed except in your head. Anastasio. Wasn't there one last year with um Wow, I was blanking on the name, the Panthers star wide receiver.
Rookie. McMillan. Yeah, he like well he doesn't want to be You didn't want to be Teta, right? You'd want to be like, it's either Tetaroa or it's. I forget how you didn't want to be T-Mac.
Don't call me T-Mac. Don't call me Tet. Get some rules about his. Can I also just something along these lines? It's bullshit that we all just agreed that we're going to call him Juju Smith Schuster.
That's ridiculous. That's way too much. If his last name was Smith, oh, Juju Smith.
Okay, I just feel like you got to shorten that up somewhere. If you were the best receiver in football, fine. But like, I just get irrationally upset watching games that include him. And then I need. To hear Mike Torico be like Juju Smith Schuster.
It's ridiculous. It's too much. By the way, do you know? Have you? I just looked it up.
Do you know Juju's first? His name's John. Isn't it? John. John.
I looked that up too and I got more mad. This is just something that sticks in my crop. Anyway, you'd just rather he be John Smith? Yeah. You're burdening everyone around you.
It's his name. We're the ones who have. No, Juju is not his name. His name is so John Smith Schuster is fine, yeah. Or Juju Smith, you can pick one.
He's saying you can pick one. There's four, I mean, you can't fuck with the hyphen name. You can't be nickname and hyphen. That's sorry. Unless you're awesome.
If he was Devontae Adams in his place, Juju hyphen or is it J-U-J-U? I think it's J-U-J-U. J-U-J-U, no space. Stupid ass damn. I don't like him because he sucks.
Well, yeah, it's one and one. It's one in the same. You shouldn't get to burden everyone. with that if you stink. If you're slow MVS, which is exactly what he is.
Do you have a problem with that one? Mark has Valdez Scantling. Should he just be Mark? It's the same amount of fucking syllables. He's not Quez Quez Valdez Scantling, he's Mark Quez.
That's a straightforward name. That's actually Valdis Scantling. He would he would be Jerry Rice. Maybe. He went with MVS.
Okay.
More like incomplete. Yeah. Is he on the team? Is he on the team? Yeah, he's on the Steelers.
Still? Remember what everyone did. We talk about it. I think we've already talked about this recently when Mark Daniels got the entire Packers fan base to want his head on a spike because he asked Matt LaFleur, how do you live with MVS? Yeah.
Good times. Back in your Paul, that was every other question back when you were on the beat. Just missed it, actually. See, Grant's just a one-syllable first-name and last name guy. That's true.
You know? Grant Bills. Uh that that I am called Yeah. child childhood nicknames if it's someone, you know, from the way back.
Okay.
Otherwise it's just like you know. Beast mode, big dog, I'm just kidding. Um My kid has started calling me. Bart crack, that's a new one. Oh no.
You know, I've always had Bart the Fart, but Bart Crack is new. He's a visionary. What a respectful young man. Yeah, all right.
Well, good to see you guys. Yeah, see you guys. You're right, though, Bart. The point of that segment was the Apple weather map was correct. The app was correct, and the meteorologist bitched about it for two weeks, and then it was right.
So. And they haven't issued any apologies. They won't. They're just pretending like it did. I don't understand what the.
The issue's got to be. They're tired of fielding questions. But it's It's just too like the Apple weather, and then fucking that Luke guy is like, oh, you mean, you mean, you see him respond to me? I do. He's like, so you're celebrating the Apple app that comes from the weather channel?
I'm like, I don't fucking know. It's your fucking fellow Mets that are all on my shit for this. Do they call it? I saw you actually use the word Mets. Is that a thing?
Just being a dick.
Okay.
Yeah, I was going to say, I think that was derogatory.
Okay.
Maybe it's something that they can say that we can't. Yeah. Like how I can say I got fired, but I won't let other people say that. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
