From the Milwaukee Brewers. Whether they like Or not.

So we'll see how the technical aspects of this go. I think it should be. Pretty good. I paid $200 for these microphones.

So, Tim, how you been, buddy? I'm good. I'm good. It's good to see you like in the flesh finally, instead of me in my car. Hold on, let me go get my car.

Cheerio's out. I know. That's fine.

Next man up. Blake Perkins. I just went to the scrimmage, though, and he was playing. Um yeah, I don't know what happened in between that last game and uh Do you think he punched a wall? I think he tripped over Lou Croy's luggage.

I stole that joke from uh Obama. What's his name? Onabomb.

Sorry. I'm Barack Obama.

So, what's your day gonna be here, buddy? Gonna be drinking here, drinking a lot, go down. I like to get in early on opening day. I like the pomp and circumstance of everything, so. I walked into Kelly's.

I like it. I like that vibe. I like, you know, everybody's optimistic. Yeah. Everybody's, you know, getting their first little buzz.

We did see one guy already call it quits. Sean O'Connell, are you crashing a tailgate? He's outside the pottle gate. I'll try to find Sean. I'm trying, I'm going to go walk down there and try to find people.

I know, Brett. Is uh tailgating? Where's Brett? He's somewhere in the front lot, the main lot.

Okay, so. I know he's down there. Um I don't really know anyone else.

Okay. Yeah, I'm just going to walk around for probably two hours. This is how I'm going to get my steps in. Are you going to meet up with Chuck at all? If he's inside, I'm torched.

All right. Are you going to the game? I am not going to the game.

Okay. I'm not going to the game. The podcast schedule will be no post-game. I'll do a show in the morning tomorrow. Another long one.

I got a lot to talk about.

Okay. The Brews finally have a TV channel. Yeah. 670, the score. 13 L8.

670 on DirecTV. Which is fun.

So, yeah. All right. Who are you here with, your buddy? I'm here with my brother, my sister-in-law, my nephew, a friend.

Some of them are White Sox fans, my sister-in-law is, so. Where are your seats? I'm sitting in 228 tonight. We're all kind of all scattered. 228, 214.

So. How'd you fuck that up? Oh, I I got you know I'm a seasoned ticket member now. 20 games?

Sorry, season seat holder. All the games? 20-game packs. This was one of them.

So. Another friend of mine is sitting in my season seats. I'm sitting in ones that I bought earlier this year. I got another two from a friend who couldn't go today.

So that's how my nephew is going. A lot of shade is all over the box. Yeah, I.

Well, we were planning. Once the schedule came out, he's like, we're going to this game the minute it came out. Oh, because he's a White Sox guy? He's a White Sox guy. He does like the Brewers, too.

Okay. Except when the. White Sox play the Brewers. Why don't you put that down for the people? Put this down.

Check it.

Well, right now? Why not?

Okay. I never noticed those. Ten years does that finish the drink? I did, it's gone. Can you believe it?

Oh, and then someone just poured you more into the cup. That's fantastic. What a nice person. All right, you want to get going? Sure.

I mean, are you going inside the bar? Are you just going right down to the ballpark? I can't do shit in that. It's too loud. No, it isn't.

You can just be like, you can go like, you know, like the old day. What do you think about the Brewers this year? I'm going to walk down General Mitchell.

Okay. Why is that road General Mitchell? Why is that road General Mitchell? It's the airport. It bothers me.

And the airport's called Blue Mountains. Yeah. So. Tim Chugs like Rogers.

Sorry. I'm not ready to chug yet. You kind of caught me off guard. Comments on the screen. Yeah, what does it say about the manager?

Who's saying shit about me right now? Peter says, Tim already drinking wow. Wow. Just having a fun day. I live for that.

This is including working for the brewers and going before I worked there. This is my 26th opening day. Did you miss any? I have not. Even COVID?

Even COVID. I was at the, well, 2020 doesn't count, right? Like when no fans could go. I was in 2020.

Well, yeah, but you were working. No, I wasn't at 2020. I went to the scrimmage. The brewers versus brewers, yes.

Okay, I think Corbin Burns was dealing that. Yeah, I did an annual picture of that. I don't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing. But yes, I was at 2021. What do we do?

I'm just walking around. You're going to start your walk? Yeah, I'm going to start my walk anyway. Tim is soft from Gary Ellerson. No way.

Just saying hi. Just saying hi in a random spot with Tim. I'll be careful. Oh, hi there! Is this your friend?

Yeah, the best shuttle driver in Milwaukee. I pay him to say that. Yeah. How many trips do you make back and forth all day? Who's counting?

Who's counting? It's still grabbing one. All right, great interview. All right. I'll take the mic.

Okay. Goodbye. Um Monday night. No, Mary's not. I'm staying live.

Well, enjoy your walk. Is that green light on? I'm going to watch. Yep, it's on. All right.

All right, guys. I hope you can get in the ballpark with one of these. Is this a homemade one? COVID scrimmage no this was the covid scrimmage covid scrimmage It says 7, 15, 20. Look at what they did to me.

Chuck didn't have a picture for me the first year.

So he used a picture from my wedding. We can climb and go to deep and we can do it. My background, I'm live, Gary. From 1057FM the fans. Were they here already or are they coming later?

I think they're coming later.

Some of them are down a potto right now. Oh, okay. Yeah, it did right. Gary, I'm soft, please. Donald says He's in Hawaii right now.

His sun coming up. Watching this is awesome. Opening day, baby. Go crew. Bruce.

Alright, can I be dismissed? Yeah, you can. All right, good to see you. Goodbye, Bart. Mm-hmm.

All right, so is this weird just walking around with a laptop? I'm gonna cross the street on a laptop. Good luck. I'm gonna watch. I'll comment.

All right. Goodbye. All right, Tim. See ya. Good luck out there.

Thanks, brother. See you man. All right, so we are going to be taking a stroll. down uh General Mitchell. As you can see, you guys are.

Quite familiar, I'm sure. with the area of where I am. Looks like we got a little news crew. This is what happens when you're not you know, a sanctioned member of the media anymore. You walk around with a laptop.

And try to make a dent. is all I can say. is all I can say. There will be More commentary than What you're getting now. I didn't plan this out.

Totally.

Well where I'm just gonna walk And talk. But that'll be fine. I'll answer some questions if anyone wants to do a QA. If anyone wants to come on. I can give you the link.

If anybody is miraculously at the ballpark, Please let me know where you are. And I will Try to find you. My whole mission today. is to try to find as many people as I can. To be quite honest, that uh that know who I am.

Um I've done this before. to varying degrees of success. I've walked around the parking lot before. I've met some great people doing that. There was one year I met a guy who was like going to die in a month.

And this was one of the last things he wanted to do. And he was having the time of his life. And I think about that a lot. You know, I'm trying to This is a weird thing I'm doing. This is a weird thing.

I'm walking around. With a laptop. Down General Mitchell Boulevard. I'm going to stroll right into the Parking situation. And at this point Who gives a shit?

Who gives a shit? This is, who cares? I'm such at a point in life. I love you, Gary. I love you so much.

I'm such at a point in life where Just fucking do it. Just just fucking do it. There was a point this morning where I'm like, oh, I could just sit home and you know, fuck around. Maybe I'll do a live show from my basement and Talk about Cheerio being hurt, which sucks. But I want to be a part of this atmosphere.

I thought if there's some people that can't be a part of the atmosphere, maybe I can bring it to them. Obviously I'm trying to mooch food as well. is my main mission. Today. And I needed to get some steps in.

There's a cemetery. You notice how they don't make new cemeteries anymore, but fast food restaurants always have fresh meat? What's that about? I don't know if those two things are correlated or not, but. Those are just two different thoughts in my head.

Um that I think about. Did not get an invite to uh To anywhere. For that matter.

So let's not. Single out anybody. Did not get an invite. Anywhere. Except I guess from Tim.

Tim did say I'm coming to I'm gonna be at Kelly's. Tim did say. Um it's a little windy. Those of you that are here, could I get a... Does the microphone sound good?

Like, is it windy? Does it sound good? I think it's pretty good. I tested it. I feel good about it.

I think the video might chop in and out. I'm on my phone internet. But we'll be fine. And then I'll post some of this as a. This is the pod, the audio pod.

But yeah.

Okay, thanks guys. We are into the Winkler verse. We are live. At 10. 55 a.m.

First pitch is two hours away. Getting here this morning. was not bad.

Now I did park on like fucking wells. You know, I'm not gonna actually pay to fucking be here. But Um It is going to be a shit show for a lot of people. And it's not something that you know. what to plan for until you actually do it.

So I think what's going to happen is there's going to be a lot of people. that come down here. And plan for like 30 minutes. Oh, it could be hit or miss. It could be like TSA right now.

You could plan for a long time and then you get Fucked. Or you could platinum for a long, there's the wind. Jesus, what would I got? A fucking one-inch monitor. Goddamn laptops blown away.

Um I gotta go over to Moliter. That's where I want to go. I don't wanna go there yet. I gotta go over to. This lot.

So we're going to do some Bart in the Woods content. But I think what some people are gonna experience is They didn't even know about this kind of construction. Or they didn't think it was ever going to have to affect them. And then, yeah, now, oh, the main entrances to get to the fucking ballpark. The one thing some of you will ever even think about.

sniffing the same Milwaukee air I breathe. Sure would. You're gonna be like, what the fuck? What is this about? It's going to be like...

People that don't pay attention to the What we're doing overseas, and then they're going to be like, gas is four bucks. What the fuck? Yeah, watch the fucking news. Watch the fucking news. I could, Gary, but I d I think he's at Stenney's.

I'll say hi to anybody. I'll say hi to anybody. I'm looking to right every wrong I've ever made. I'll say hi to anybody. All right.

Since we are in the woods. I'm going to take a quick pivot. and sit down on this bench. and see if I can't tweet some people. about where they're at.

So I need to go to try to find Some people. This is the Tim. This is the Tim. Halverson Eagle Project 230. I bet when he made this bench, he did not know.

That sucks. Today's show is sponsored by Strawberry.me. Let me ask you something. Do you think championship athletes got to the top by guessing? No, they had coaching.

Your show was always really good. I enjoyed it a lot. On the radio? Yeah. Sucks.

But uh well thanks. Um Between you and Tim Allen, I always listen to both you guys.

Well, he'll be on 1250 today after the game. He's back there now? He's back at 1250.

So I am kidding. Yeah. I don't like that. What are we eating? There you go.

Got some brats here. I'm sure you're the best food of the town. Got some dip. Wait around a little bit, we'll get you one.

Okay. I'm trying to broadcast here live the connection. Once I got Jesus, look at the wind. Once I got closer to the stadium, I started getting spotty. I gotta do a selfie and send it to my voids, man.

Okay, let's do a selfie. Are you? And then do a pick where you have the screen behind you. Do like a selfie. An inception.

Yeah. I don't know how to work this. No, no, no, you turn around. What are you talking about? Yeah.

And it was super easy. You're not even in there. That didn't work. That was fucking too hard. That's a good idea, but it was also a stupid fucking idea.

Fucking like one of those pictures where the guy's standing in front of a portrait of a portrait and just keeps going. Yeah. Stupid execution. Would it work better if we're like in the Pfizer or something where the lighting's a little better? Yeah.

Yeah, it's a good sunny day. It's windy. Thankfully, I actually bought a real microphone, otherwise, it'd be a disaster.

So it got a little bit more. You can have audio be a little shitty or video, you can't have both. That's a problem. Is this a yearly thing for you guys? Yeah, we come out here every year.

Two years ago, we got fucked by the rain. It was really great, rainy, windy. We basically were holding the tenth the whole time. But last year was nice.

Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. Let's talk to Grillmaster over here. And they say, this year I'm not bringing the freaking time he forgot to bring the leaves. That's a story about that.

I uh I got a my uh brother-in-law was visiting from uh uh Massachusetts.

So I say Would have been a good idea to bring him to the ballpark and do a tallgate because they don't do tallgate tallgate. Yeah, yeah.

So. I'm prepared and I got the whole group. I got the whole, you know, I'm thinking I have everything in my truck. We got here early, almost first on the line. We got in the parking lot all the way at the bottom there.

Forgot the meat at home. What did you do? Just said, Selkati was doing a tour around. And I go, hey, I did no copy at all. Tight.

What do you do when you forgot, you know, the stuff? I need to get out and come back in. And she goes, Let me see what I can do.

So she go riding the bike to the guys over there. She talked for a minute, then came back uh uh down to me and she goes, Hey, you, Rocky, follow me.

So I took my truck out behind her on the bike. When Down to the store, I bought a whole bunch of stuff. I came back, she was waiting for me there. She drove me back to the same spot again.

So you got to be the hero. Right. But I also. On your own fuck up. You got to be the hero.

So I was a hero, but I.

Now everybody that knows me it keeps saying You know, that I forgot to meet at the ballpark, and it's just terrible. You did it again? Make sure you say you did it a second time? The second time. We caught it halfway through, so we're able to do it.

We forgot today. But. That's not the end of the story, though.

So we were like, my brother is having a laugh on me because, you know, I'm a fucked up.

So we're ready to go inside because it's like let that Time for the ballgame. Oh yeah, I've got So the cops come around, a whole bunch of cops, like five of them and and bikes. Hey, who was the guy that forgot the meat?

So, my brother's on the ground, he's laughing. A parking lot legend. Yeah. Yeah, he couldn't believe that it was like and and one of the cops say, Did you forgot the beer too? Only in Wisconsin.

Never forget the beer.

So that's a story that is being reading out my book. All right. Well, you'll never live it down. Yeah. Okay.

Got me. I got a shirt. The body of mine got me on a shirt a second. You should have worn that under, it feels a little warmer. Yeah.

I had to watch a fucking opening day on Netflix last night. That's all you need to know. Yeah, that did suck. I didn't mind it was a standalone game. I like the opening night idea, but I don't need...

the it should be like somewhere you can watch it with the Nintendo if you need to. Yeah. And I don't need it to be a four hour Netflix infomercial. Just to be a cleanup crew to hear after the game. You were on cleanup crew?

Yeah, so with a little train. We go after the game, it was like We have to go all the way up to uh Frost day at seven thirty down there.

No, I don't watch the games anymore because I've had enough of them. I want them to lose, though. Aren't they losing by like 30? You guys follow. I'm going to trail behind you.

We don't know where we're going, bro. Oh, you're trying to find someone? Oh, okay, I thought you're going in. Um no, I'm not I'm not I'm not yeah, the bucks suck.

So Do they have They get a switch with the Pelicans, correct? Or do the Pelicans have a switch? Of the two teams, the Pelicans get the better pick.

So work on that.

Well, I mean if we finish one, two. Like if our ball gets picked at one. And then the pelicans are two. I'm coming over. I heard my name, I'm coming over.

Yeah, then we get. I don't hold hope for that. But if we get forked, I don't hold hope for the NBA giving the Bucks a good lottery, but. Is that fucking rain that's coming? Oh, it was nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you guys. What's the plan? Where are we sitting? We haven't bought our tickets yet. We'll get there.

Oh, he's gonna call in the apps?

Well, yeah. It's like been dropping like $20 since last night. We'll probably send a ones somewhere 80 bucks. Do you try to get in for first pitch? Are you going to wait even more?

Yeah, no, we'll go in for first pitch. All right. The baseball case. At least we are. I'm here for the environment.

Just the environment. That's a nice top. It's not the hell's my hate there. It's going to return to Amazon. Why?

Well, I'm never going to wear it. I don't know. Every time you come here. Give us me warm, you know? you gotta get you one of these and no lyles wear your jacket your jacket's sick but Oh, the perfect thing is wearing clothes that fit but aren't team branded.

Because she could wear that any day and she's fine. Thank you. But she could also wear that here and it works. Thanks. I appreciate that.

I'll keep it.

Okay, you've influenced me. The man. You know, you'll probably put it in your closet and never wear it again. I'll think of you every time I see it, though. That's what I'm going for.

Or at least have a microphone so I can hear you on the show. Sure. But are you in the shot? Look at these folks.

So how old you can Nine months. Nine months. What's wrong? Why'd you ask if it gets better? A little lack of sleep.

It's a lot of lack of sleep. It's a lot of lack of sleep. Um I would say Since I have one kid, that makes me an expert in parenting now. Sure, sure. Why didn't we go for two?

There was something on. Yeah. No. No? No.

There was something, it was a line from Modern Family.

Okay. G, the dad? Yep. Where he's like. It might have been the finale episode, but he's like.

You get sad because it's Wendy. It's windy. No, that's good. We're good. You get sad because, like, the nine-month-old leaves, but then a two-year-old comes through the door.

Yeah. And then a new person comes through the door. You never get the same. Mm-hmm. on the same day ever again.

Yeah. Yeah. And I think about that a lot. And I'm I'm very hyper like aware of Maybe too much, or like just trying to hold in and process every memory. Sure.

Um stare at him too long and give him too many kisses and You know, he got hurt at the playground yesterday. Yeah, yeah, yeah. seconds in Yeah, something like that. And he was hurt at the playground yesterday for a couple minutes and then he wanted a hug and I'm like, fine, I'm glad you're hurt so I can hug you. And I'm just and now he likes old pictures of himself and I think that's weird for him, but it's it's also like weird for me 'cause I miss that little kid, but I love this little kid.

Now, when's his first game this year? For baseball? Yeah. He was on the Pirates last year.

Okay. They'll be playing again this summer. He's a big soccer stud. I know you're a soccer guy, too. He had a hat-trick last weekend.

Yeah, no big deal. No big deal. A little humble break. Yeah. Okay.

I was just a bragger buyer. Yeah, so yeah. All newborns around here or just you? My son is three, three and our daughter is like six months basically.

Okay. So yeah, two is more than one. And this is your other kid? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. Well, when we walk out of here, you will. Exactly right. Yeah. What did it happen?

Yeah. Yes, looks great. It's hard as everything is. Yeah. There is nothing better.

Yeah. He is kind of in that phase where he's going from daddy to dad.

Okay. Oh, all right. What do you do the first time he calls you Bart? I don't like it. I want to be daddy.

That's fair. That's fair. Daddy. Yeah. Hey, dad.

I got dad died right now, so I'm going to cherish that for as long as I can keep it. Our son started about his grandparents, he started saying to me, Your parents. I was like, No, no, those are your grandparents. Oh, wow. Am I going to your mom and dad's?

To your mom and dad's, you know what I'm saying? Wow. Um very true. I want to, I need to write a book on like. I didn't want to make them like sports.

Sure. Well, all about brainwashing. Just show me the steps. I fucking did it.

Okay, well, yeah, then I need the book. I love it. Mm-hmm. the little helmet. He's moving the helmet.

I think that is amazing. I love that.

So right now we have two. Our living room has NBA penance on the ground. That are in order of the standings. But ever since the Bucs started getting shitty, they're now in the standing of his NBA 2K franchise. Which is super easy.

And then the helmets came back out last night. But the Orioles helmet is faded. And I have to buy a new one, and you can't just go buy one mini Baltimore Oregon sound. Here's a pack of 40. Yeah, exactly.

And he's probably asked me, like, Seven times in the last 24 hours, if I've ordered them yet, and I haven't. Because I came here to do this, I had to explain to him. Yeah. So I got to do that when I get home. I'm gonna chug this bra.

There you go. Any other Questions or topic of conversation while I'm eating?

Well, basically what we're thinking about For the brewers this year, like Yeah, I'm fit. Had the last three, or were you doing four in a row? True, it doesn't help today. Obviously, we just learned out and. Is it all just based on pitching to get us there?

Because man, did we really... trade for it and we think it's gonna take us there. You know more than I do, dude. I don't care. Talk about bites of the apple, right?

Bites of the apple. Yeah. I thought I was going to make it through the whole.

Alright, now I'm in it. And I'm rolling. I'm not cutting, so now I'm fucked. It's about fights at the Brock. Fights at the Brock.

Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. I don't know. Wisconsin Sedford, right?

He's really beaten. Ocean. I don't know, what do you do? Like, everyone's seeing the standings or the predictions, and they're like. Oh they don't take the brewers first?

Yeah. Who cares? Oh. Still be a fun season, I think. The thing that keeps because I know I don't think you'll ever win a World Series I know.

We got the chairs ready. Yeah. We got the chairs ready, Bart. But, yeah, but it's a bad omen. I don't think they're ever going to stop trying.

Oh, great. Great. I'm not going to best fly to show. And I don't think they're ever going to stop carry. There's a lot of teams right now.

I just saw something about the Red Sox. Uh Pablo Torre did a thing where he's like But Basically the Red Sox are operating like a English premier soccer team. That they're just trying to get guys good to sell them off for more profit. Because of private equity and all that shit. Yeah.

Well, the twins did a total fire sale. You see that roster? I know one guy. He won't be there long. No.

No, they they b well, I guess we all came together at that time, but But uh yes, we've been What is like to get uh this? Uh, someone gave this to me while I was lying. Give me a shout out to the bathroom. Yes, this is brewed beer. Yes, it is a Japanese beer brewed in Wanakee, Wisconsin.

What? Yes, it says it right here. That's Wanakey, Wisconsin. But they saw me drinking at Pilsner Urkel because Jackie here works at Miller, so we always get all our beer from the Miller employee store. He's like, hey, you like that?

Well that's That is one thing that so We do all we are always in the front, but we used to be in the front over there. And then they changed this last season and they put a Uber ride chair lot in it, so we can't be up there anymore. No, I agree. Yeah, this ride share is a little point of contention. We love ride chair.

We love people having that option, but I don't know. Right in the front was the way to do it, I think. Back there would have been fine. What is happening with this? Away is ridiculous.

Chicago says hi. Oh. Chicago says hi. 'Cause it's windy. What?

Yes. It's butterscotch. Oh. Tell them. Yeah.

We love butt. But. Yeah. But I don't know, some people are into that.

See ya. All right. Uh I think I have located Brett. Yeah, I do think I look like Mark Lee and Mullen. A little bit today.

This got a little longer.

So that's interesting. Um I just assume everyone knows who Mark Wayne Mullen is. That's how fucking online I am. And that's how much I am hyper into the news.

Okay. Or how much I have T D S, whatever you guys think. I don't care. Then You have supported this podcast more than anybody. You get a free ticket too.

Go brewers. I need a production assistant. No, I think I kind of think this. I kind of think if I can straddle the line of. Shitty, but somehow passable.

I think that is my wheelhouse. Like just a Just a little chaotic. But doable. I think I live in that zone. Yeah.

Okay, we're getting closer. I see Brett's flag. I hope he's ready for me. We're going to find Brett and Tosa. I'm on I'm on an NA beer schedule right now, guys.

I don't think there's going to be too many of those out here. Brant. Here's my son of a bitch. I'm gonna cut through.

So I'm trying not to be on booze right now. Or beer. We're back, baby. Opening day. Okay, talk to you for a sec.

Yeah, let's do it. Hold on. I've just been rolling live. I got you a mic. Oh, fancy a line.

You're legit, you know that? We haven't met in person, did we? I don't think so. Brett and tell us. We were live three years ago when shit hit the fan, and ever since, division title after division title.

We gotta do it again. Yeah, there's my little guy. Oh nice jacket! Same one. Fuck yeah.

What's going on, guys? Got the jumpers? How you doing? Looking good? Awesome, baby.

What do you think? Have only missed one opening day, is that right? Even from a kid. I'm 30. Can't do math.

I'm 32 years old. I've missed one opening day because Brady was born three weeks early. Yeah, I've been there. I'm opening that. Where's Matt's price terrain, Grand Slam?

Did you still try to pull it off? Making it here? Yeah. No. Was he born in like if he was born at like 6 a.m.

I watched the game from the hospital room.

Okay. I got 38 in a row. 38 in a row? And you want to know the one that I remember the most? Is it early 90s?

No, I'm not early 90s, early 90s. Do you know he's live right now? Yeah, we're live. Mm. Early 90s.

And I woke up and there was snow on the field. Were you at that one? Early 90s? Early 90s? I was not at that.

I was not there. Early 90s, your snow was on the field. I already seen him. I looked at my wife. I says.

This game's gonna be called off today. I turn on TMJ. It says game's not called off yet. And here they're on it with Chucks. They're hauling his toe off the field.

We drove down here and they played the damn game. You won't believe that that's awesome. I didn't know about that one. Oh, were you in the early 90s? Early 90s I was I was The age, I knew what the brewers were.

I was probably, well, what year was it? I was born in 84.

Well, you're about seven years old. You could have came in that way. I grew up in Fond du Lac, so we didn't get down here a lot. I wasn't far from there. It was a mana quad.

Yeah, my parents didn't take me down here that much. I still resent them for it. JK, not really.

So, what's your prediction? I probably was only at County Stadium two times. And one was with uh uh Japanese wrestling transfer program. At a brewery game? Yeah, they played the Orioles.

Oh, you were in the wrestling program? I was in a wrestling program, and we did an exchange with. A Japan club. And they had like 40 kids here and I was like Me sitting in the middle of them all. We had a good time.

Look at this right here. You're looking good. Oh, this is every. This is every credential I've ever gotten. Because now they won't give you one.

Is this. That was last year when I weaseled my way in, and I think they were pissed about that.

So, what's the insight?

Someone says that guy looks like he's been to 38 in a row. Hey, come on now. Mm-hmm. Well? That's a good way.

So what's your prediction? How many wins? Um, how many wins? 110. High eighties.

Right. What are you like? 89? No, 80, 87. I think I said this morning.

Beat the Cubs in the playoffs again. Jake Bauer's 30 Holmes. Is a wild card? Yep. Maybe right off the future.

I don't know. I don't I just don't want I just don't want it to be dumber than it needs to be. You want to be what? Like with the cup. I don't want it to be dumber than it needs to be.

Well, it's already too dumb. We're past that point. It's so stupid.

Well, Brett's a legend in Chicagoland. Hey, I was on your show. You were on my show, and then. When we found out that council I got it. God, I got it.

They played your video on 670 that night. No, they played it everywhere. Like all these little cubs aggregators did shit with it. I don't think they're ringing the pile of either. And so we found out council, and he's like, you're not going to believe where he went.

Because we all thought my voice cracked. I'm like. No, he's not gonna believe it. He's not gonna cleave him. I did.

I didn't think. I thought he was going to New York, I thought. I just can't figure that guy out at all. We got Murph now, it's all good. We just gotta win another division title and see what happens.

Did you? Did I interrupt a question from you? Did you say something? I got kicked out somewhere. Oh, yeah, he got kicked out of the playoff game.

I guess. Was that game five? Oh, we're pretending that didn't happen. I'd left the game early on my own accord. Yeah, we're pretty good in there.

We gotta beat the Cubs. I just can't stand that guy, don't you? I can't. I know I got a problem. I know I have a real problem.

I have to learn and let that go, but I can't. I can't handle. playing Chicago teams in the playoffs. I can't do that. Look at that three shot.

We should be you look good. Huh? You look good. Do you want the flag down? You looking good.

Give me a highlight. Lost a couple LBs. I feel like I look like do you guys know Mark Wayne Mullen? He's the politician. He wears the top white hat.

He's the new GHS. Oh, yeah, yeah, sure, sure. For the hotline. I feel like I look like him, little man.

Some baggy eyes. Got a lot of gray hairs in that part. A lot of gray in the beard. Whatever's happening up here. Maybe Bert eats a beer.

You eat a beer? I offer it. No, I'm not. You're gonna be able to ask the right questions after the game, huh? Oh, I'm not back on in the switch.

But none of them say 2026. Oh, well, that this was just captured. I just tried saving the drink out of this cap. Do you want one as a collector's item? I do actually.

I would love that. I'll give you 16. Can I see this one? You kind of when I glanced at this before I thought it was you. Oh, I thought I looked like Hitler here.

Well, Chuck, use my uh... Yeah. Wedding photo. You ready, Puddle? Oh.

You gotta get a 26 in there. Yeah, yeah.

The comeback, the comeback's comeback part, huh?

Well last year I was working with the radio station Infiniti. Yeah, you're on nitro. And then I weaseled my way in via a credential. All right, I'm gonna crown Brett. I'm gonna wear this all day.

Thank you. Look at that. I have never given a credential to anybody. I've never even fathomed doing it. But the moment struck me right.

In the playoffs this year, this is coming back. The moment struck me right where I wanted to give that away to 2016 Bart Winkler, WSSP. No post-game show. I'll do a show tomorrow morning. Um I got a My wife couldn't get off work for me to do a fucking podcast.

In the basement. Yeah, in the basement. Look at you. Yeah. I'm just kidding.

I'm getting it. I wouldn't have done it if I had. All right, I appreciate it. I'm kidding. LaCroix here?

Did you see LaCroix? I don't know. I don't even know how to see LaCroix. I've never met LaCroix. I met Cohn once.

I met Cohn. Without a bag on his head. I met Con without a bag on and I said, where's Tim Shea at right now? I saw him at Kelly's to start this thing. Did you see Steve Sparky Pfeiffer?

I did. Craig's here. I didn't see Sparky. I saw Allie Faith. Don't know who that is from Kiss.

I'm pissed right now. Yeah. No, he's not. But in I saw Josh Albrecht. Josh Albrecht, WSSP.

WSSP. 12:50.

So you it feels like things are wrapping up out here. Are people tired of the weather? We gotta go see Jordan Love. Oh yeah. What time is it first pitch?

Quarter after twelve, probably. Bart's a big Matt LaFleur fan. Yeah, I I love how much I fucking hate 'em. Why do you love so much? Why do I hate him?

Let's rank the three coaches in the state right now.

Okay. Well, that sucks 'cause Doc's obviously worse. The Bucks are a hot match right now. Yeah, why is everyone all these people want to talk about the bucks here? I don't want to talk about the bucks.

Someone got, oh, I don't want to talk about the bucks. No, wait. I'm just trying to get you fired off with Alice Lord. I hate my floor. Do the kids like coming here?

How's your first kid? Three, four, one, three, and one. That's your old? That's your old? They read all the playoff games.

I took my kid to the exhibition. Yeah, you guys had good seats, I saw.

Well, it's fun when you're in the middle of the general emissions out of us. Yeah, it's just 25 bucks. You had seeds, but they didn't care. What grade is he in? First.

Oh man. Old man. One and done, eh? One and done. Remember those days well.

Two and done? Maybe not. Maybe not. Okay. Well I ain't got to pick things up here, bud.

All right, you do that. Good talk to you. See you later, bud. What else is going on with you? Eighty eight, that's low for a guy like you.

88. I'm pretty realistic. I've only picked the Brewers to win the division twice in the last eight years, and both times they did not win.

So is that what you're trying to do? No, I'm just trying to be realistic. Is this kind of empty? Look at this. Everyone's starting to go in.

It was. Yeah. It's almost that time. Ooh, should I try to crash the T V stations? Where are they?

And healthcare. Yeah. Should I see if I know anybody? You probably do. I mean, that's a good idea.

Dario, your guy Dario is probably over there. Oh, I hope so. All right. Thanks for stopping by. Give me a message to the Winklerverse.

Playoffs for the fourth, fifth year in a row? Ms strike out eight today. Jake Bowers home run. Jake Bowers is going to have a 30-home run. Are you going to do this Patreon?

That's my biggest bullshit? No. No, I don't I'm not a pastor. Did you see that? 104?

Yeah. What happens if he throws on his arm? I don't know. Oh, won't that be fucking the worst? But I I just saw the news stations like making a big deal about it.

Like, come on. That's my bold prediction of the year. Jake Bowers, 30 homers.

Well, we started out one of the exhibition game. Does that count? Nope.

Alright, do you need the mic? Yes. But you can keep that.

Alright. Let's do this in the playoffs, and I'll be wearing this. When we knock off the clubs again. And probably lose with the Dodgers in the playoffs. It's the last time I'll ever see it.

That's my wedding picture. Is it actually? It's when I gave a speech at the wedding. This is the one you gave me out of all these?

Well, I didn't want to give you the first one. No, keep it. Oh, this is nice. I don't want this one, but this is NFLs. NLDS.

Since when do you write? I don't know why they gave me that. Oh, writer radio? This is COVID. 7-15.

This was a scrimmage. Blue versus gold. Wait a second. Rex Lessinger assigns these. Yeah, and I think you're not ever supposed to show 'em on camera.

Bart loves Wigslash Revent. Yeah. All right. All right. Go, Bruce.

Let's see you later, Bart. See you guys. The brewers. All right, yeah, this is interesting. People are packing up.

What are we uh I might regret giving Brett that, but. Michael, why didn't they come down on that? He's a nice guy and he's a long time supporter. And uh It's just stuff at the end of the day, you know? We're all gonna die.

Okay, I think I see some T V stations. Yeah. How much do I think I'd eBay for that? eBay would probably pull it. He'd probably say, you can't sell that fucking shit.

All right, here is the scenes. At Miller Park, I see twelve news. Oh, Dario's probably inside. I probably don't know anyone over there because they're probably on news people. Bam!

Knocked out of your hand. Hey, don't knock over my laptop. My expensive laptop. Here's Telemundo. I'm gonna throw away this butt.

Oh, Gradsky. And Bill Walsh, yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah.

Great people. I will, huh? I think 90% of the people are great. Yeah, I did too. And you're documenting.

So that's good. Rocky Bridge, what does ABC connection refer to? For the Braves? I don't know. Aaron.

Yeah, the outfield, you're right. It was three black guys, Aaron, Bruton, and Covington, who were yacht builders. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know much about the Braves. But anyhow, I've I wasn't around either, but my dad told me the stories.

And also there's like the monument over there. Yeah. Only one guy played in coach for the while he braves. He was my parents' next son Andrew before I was born. Who's that?

Sidney Sisty. He was like his last year in the main. These guys have survived when it comes to the brewery. Boston. It was World War II, bad.

After the temperature in Boston, then they had one year in Milwaukee and he was a coach next year. But my parents were just in 53, 54. I wasn't born in it. I'm advertising Milwaukee's best. Because pay up.

in the best are we related. Oh yeah, you gotta get that one. Get it, chug, chug, chug. Check, choose, choke.

Alright, I'm gonna get up. All right. He stays at Bart. Bart. Winkler.

Bart. All right, Bart. All right, Bartholomew. Just Bart. Bart.

Start with Bart. Start with Bart. Go for you guys. All right. Enjoy.

Yeah. Yeah, I've got it right now. All right. Do I walk this way? Do I should I go over the bridge?

Definitely going forward. Everybody's coming in. I gotta hit up the bridge. The really interesting stars are under the bridge. Wow, the traffic's moving pretty good.

Freddy Peralta gave up a first-inning home run for the Mets. All right. Good. Good deal. Good riddance.

Yeah. And the guy we got from is going to start all that game clear. Yeah. Which one's broke? For the real body.

Oh yeah. I could tell. It's good now. Where do we head now? Where do we head now?

We are gonna go. We're gonna go to the bridge. What do you think, chat? Should I go to the bridge chat? Should I go to the fucking bridge, chat?

I think we're gonna go to the bridge. Proof of bridge. We'll podcast for food. We'll podcast for food. We'll podcast for food.

Will podcast for food. I could put my laptop in the middle here and Perform for these people. That's what I could do. There's nobody on the bridge. Yeah, all right, we're winding down.

Looks like people are going in. I'm gonna travel back, though, I'll stay live. I could go all the way over there. I gotta be honest. I'm pretty fucking spent.

Hearing a lot of this guy. All right, let's walk this let's walk back.

Okay. So What happened there? I just told you I was going to the bridge. I did go to the bridge. I went to the bridge.

There was terrible Reception. As you might expect.

So I went to the bridge. I made a lot of funny jokes on the way. There's long lines. And I said, what is this, TSA? No one laughed.

And then I was walking on the bridge. And I said, we'll podcast for food. And I said, I will start performing in front of you for the bridge. Nobody laughed at that either. Which, you know, whatever.

They're like, what's this guy doing? I think it is interesting because I am walking around. with a laptop. Which is unusual. What I am doing is unusual, even though How many people here?

are walking around Um you know With their phone like this. How many people are doing that? A lot.

So We're about 20 minutes from first pitch, maybe 25, maybe a little bit more. The parking lot is It's empty. People are inside. I guess, you know, you gotta credit that. I guess if I'm out here.

I can't be bitching like, where'd everybody go? 'Cause if I was inside, I'd be like, well, aren't they fucking inside yet?

So good. These people got here early. They filled up. They had their fun. And now they want to watch some Brewers baseball.

You've waited. Five months? For the brewers.

So let's get it going. I want to watch some Brewers baseball and they're going to do that. I am uh This was good. I'm glad I did this. Like I said earlier.

Just fucking do it. Just fucking do it. And if this is any motivation for anybody, it's going to be motivation for myself. Because this is a weird thing. And it could have been a fucking disaster.

But it wasn't. Because I wouldn't let it be. And also, people recognized me, which I was worried about, but they did.

So thank God for that.

So For everybody that was here that said hi. For people that don't even know they were on. For you guys that jumped on. And everybody else? We will say thanks for stopping.
