Granger for the ones who get it done. Good morning, everybody. Welcome into the Winkler Verse. I'm Bart Winkler. Let me get on the microphone.
I like Carlos Ortiz. is alongside and we are happy to have you here. On Yeah. And Facebook. And YouTube as we're streaming live as we do on Mondays.
The national perspective. Alongside Carlos with the K, it's Carlos Ortiz, ladies and gentlemen. Carlos, how are you? Look at those veins, man. I'm good, man.
See, my forearms are popping out, man. Look at that strength training coming in. Yeah. I don't really That's what people are here for. I don't really have any good veins to show you.
Unless you want to get real. Crazy about it. Yeah, I got one strong vein down the middle. Yeah, I was talking about my penis. I was too.
Podcasting note. This week We're going to be doing a lot of activities. Today I'm chained to this chair. In case Giannis gets traded, which I'll talk about in a minute. Which you will.
Tonight. We should have a scheduled take me out to the Paul game. With uh Paul Amig and Ryan Horvot tomorrow. Will be moved later in the week. What?
I'm going, yes, Carlos, because I'm going to be doing. A live draft show tomorrow night during the draft. I promised I would study up. On the prospects, I have done no such thing. I don't know who I want the Bucs to take because I don't know any of these guys, but we're going to be on doing a live draft.
What's why, why start. Why start pretending to know anything about sports now? And then, yeah, like I'm chained to this chair. But to see if Giannis gets traded. And bulls are picking fourth.
Bulls are picking fourth.
So, what what's upsetting me about this is I didn't really have anywhere to go this weekend, and I was hoping if there was a Giannis trade, it would have happened. over the weekend me too which it did not I Think I still don't know. I don't know if he's getting traded because I could see the Bucs not trading him. It makes sense to trade him, but I don't know. But if it's going to happen, It's potentially going to happen.
In the next 36 hours. This is as real. As it's ever been. And Where I'm coming from right now, right now, live. And I don't know how long this is going to hold up.
As we come to you live. I don't know how long this is going to hold. I mean, it would be great if it just happened during this. Yeah, I'm going to refresh my Twitter feed. If it could just happen while I'm already broadcasting.
Uh that would be great. Um But Everyone is on, so everyone like Saturday night was on high alert. Because there was a lot of... Detroit and Miami people. saying something might go down.
Yesterday, it kind of got silent again. And then this morning. And I want to play this. Uh shams. On ESPN.
Had another report. Um And Okay. I've got so many opinions on what's happening here.
So let me play you shams, a little bit of shams on GitUp this morning. And then I'll I'll bitch. Here's Shams. Greene, sources tell me a trade and a resolution is coming for the Milwaukee Bucks with Giannis and DeCumpo before the NBA draft on Tuesday night. The Bucs are in serious conversations with two finalists, the Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics.
Both teams are Giannis' preferred trade destinations, but both of these packages are different deals. The variance of these deals is draft, it's dramatic. With the Boston is Jalen Brown led package. First of all, first of all. How long is this guy?
Been their go-to guy on TV. Why can't he speak? With all due respect. With all due respect. Shams cannot speak.
On T V for sure. He's a geek. That's what he's saying. Can he speak in real life? Like, if you cut this, for you're on GitUp, ESPN, if you cut this.
And sent it. To news stations around the country. I mean, this guy would not get hired in Wausau. This guy can't fucking talk. How long how how much practice are you going to give him?
So that's first of all. Fucking learn to speak, dude. It's around a veteran player, obviously, a superstar Calvary player. In Miami, it's a group of cost-controlled players, rookie-scale contracts, significant. I don't know if I have the rights to this music, but you get the point.
So there's. The Heat and Celtics, I guess, are the finalists, according to Shams, who has said jack shit for a month. But now, because he's saying it today. Everyone's going crazy. Like news stations around here are planning break-in coverage.
Like. Like storm coverage, if he gets traded, they're just going live. Everyone's like full staff today. Just in case Giannis gets traded.
So, my bitching about Shams. I'm bitching about shams online and then people are like. Oh, you're just, you're so high in the clouds. You don't think Giannis is getting traded? That's not it.
My ire goes to one man. Shams. Because shams. Is Um He hates the Bucs because they don't give him anything. That's right.
And so I think what's happening right now. What I think's happening this morning with Shams In particular, Is He sees it's possible. Maybe likely. Maybe almost written in stone. That Giannis is gonna get traded.
So now he's. He's jumping on it, or, because he hasn't said anything for a month, or he's like. I don't know if the Bucs are actually going to do this. But I'm going to go out there and say it's going to happen. And if they don't, no one's going to come at me.
Because he's been doing it for years anyway. They're going to look like the idiots. They're going to look like they got cold feet. And I want to make the Bucks look foolish. If you don't think Shams has an agenda against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Your head's in the clouds, not mine. I'm just I'm just doing what I always be doing, and that's spitting facts. That's all I ever be doing. And that's what's happening here today. Yeah.
Right? Yeah. I mean, listen, these sports pundits, like us, I will say this: we're like weather people. You know, we can get it wrong and there's no consequence. We're just taking our best guess at it.
But I do think you say Shams right now, he's just looking for his victory lap because he's been having Giannis traded out of Milwaukee for like the last 800 years.
So he's just doing what he always does. But. This is the first time that I actually believe that it's real. I just hate that the two proposed teams are like the two teams I don't think really help you guys at all, like from a Bucks perspective. The Celtics essentially wanted to do a one-on-one with Jalen Brown for Giannis straight up.
They're like, nothing else. The money's matched. Let's just make it happen. And then you'll be stuck in the same situation where Jalen Brown's not going to want to play for Milwaukee.
Well, then you're going to have to flip him and see what you can get for Jalen Brown.
So it's like, you know, the deal becomes incomplete because you don't know what's going to be what you're actually getting for Giannis. Until Brown gets dealt. And then a trade for Miami.
Okay, Tyler Hero on expiring contract, two guys on the rookie deals, and was it the 13th overall pick? I think that's what Miami has.
So you'll have two picks in the top 15. It's better than Boston's, but... I'm just surprised by the lack of teams that are reportedly not in this Giannis mix. I would have liked to see a couple of teams in the Western Conference get in. I pitched last week when I was on air.
Um And the rare accidental hosting job that I did with Westwood One Sports, I said the Thunder should be going in and being the favorites for Giannis, but. They're a second apron team, so they would have to make a couple of moves before even entertaining the idea of getting on us.
So it's just not impossible, but there's a lot of hoops that Oklahoma City would have to jump through. Same thing with the Spurs. I don't think they're second apron, but they have basically dump one of their young guys in Castle or you know, whatever. In any case, Okay. If Miami is the best deal that you can get.
Then I guess fine because that 13th overall pick holds some tremendous value in a deep lottery class this year for the draft. Because you don't want picks for next year.
Next year's class is not nearly as good as this one, but I'm just disappointed. It's just these two guys. It's Miami, Boston. Yeah, maybe another team emerges, but that's where we're being led. Kyle Kuzma tweeted major announcements soon.
So I think he's just trolling. Yeah. Is what's happening there. I want to talk about a sweater that fits now. I want to talk about this tweet that I put up because this is exactly.
How I feel, and I gotta be able to. Oh, did you see this guy sign off? Yeah. This TV guy signed off and he's like, basically, the news fucking sucks. I have to like report facts that aren't true.
He basically did what you did, and is he going to get celebrated? Yeah, he's gonna get celebrated or he's gonna get abused. Um, and he's gonna be one of these guys. Like, the reason that my sign-off was bad is because now people that didn't know who I was, now they're not gonna hire me, even though they didn't know who I was. Already.
I'll hire you. I can't find the tweet that I put up. Uh, there's Tom Hiddleston and uh That other guy. Oh, do you like that trailer? That movie's going to be so sick.
That movie's going to fuck so hard. My tickets are for Sunday night, unfortunately. I can't get any sooner. All right. But really?
Yeah. They're already sold out. Uh, well, here's the thing: my wife works during the week, so like we just, you know, she has to wake up at like five o'clock in the morning, so I can't go Thursday night.
So because I can't, I can so I can go opening night and see by myself. But I want to take my wife. I want her to enjoy this.
So we're going Sunday. But I. Thank God my wife don't give a shit about Marvel or really. Yeah, I was this close just saying fuck it on and quietly go see it and then act like I'm surprised on Sunday when I go take her. But I'm kind of want to fake the funk.

Coverage is not available in all states or for all vehicles and coverage selections. Bucks fans are angry because of all your bullshit. You never thought he should be here. You never thought we deserved him. You tried to get him out of here every offseason.
You discount his finals run. You want him for nothing.
So, in very simple terms, Fuck you. My, my whole, the whole precipice. For anything I ever bitch about regarding Giannis Adetta Cumpo has been the way that no one's allowed us. to enjoy our thing.
So we draft this guy. He becomes great. And you think, well, he's too good for Milwaukee. Get him out of there. Then they win a title.
Well, it was a 72-game season, and, you know, there were still some COVID protocols. And then Kevin Durant's toe was on the line. Like, there's not excuses for every other fucking finals team the last eight years. You have eight different finals winners the last eight years. You can look at everyone and say, well, if that didn't happen, that wouldn't have happened.
People are already doing it for the Knicks who just won.
Well, yeah, if the Spurs had any fucking fortitude of not blowing 15-point leads with eight minutes to go, then game seven would have been Friday night. And then now that Giannis should be getting traded. by all accounts by all measures now we're supposed to give him to you Just because you're the Boston Celtics, just because you're the Miami Heat, just be, and five first-round picks for Mikhail Bridges, four first-round picks for Desmond Bain, five first-round picks for Rudy Gobert. Yeah, that was the old NBA. This NBA means you get Tyler Hero.
Fucking Larson and maybe, maybe two first. Like w do you want him or not? Like what? Pennies on the dollar.
So, this whole thing has been bullshit. Thank God we've got a championship. Think we've got, as you notice, I did a little rearranging. Tighten it up a little bit. Had to get Stryker up there, the 94 mascot.
Who? Open wide for some soccer. For some soccer.
So just Fuck everybody and fuck when it happens because Shams is going to get celebrated. Fuck whoever gets him because they're going to be like, finally, he's where he belongs. Fuck the team that does get him because the Heat are not going to win with Giannis. The Celtics are not. You're going to fuck it up.
Fuck us. Fuck us. We're not going to win shit with Giannis. True.
So, I already broke the news to my kid that Giannis is likely getting traded. Then I had to break him. We had a whole day planned because he's off from camp for the next couple of days. And I was going to take him like to the driving range and shit. And we might still go down to a bar and check out because Argentina plays at noon and he wants to see Messi and he's got his messy shirt on.
But I just got to stay close to home because if I'm going to be an out-of-work podcaster, like if I'm not going to have a job and my job is podcasting. Wisconsin Sports. I can't not be live when Giannis gets traded. And I know that it's like, whoa, what is it? I have to.
I do nothing fucking else.
So this whole day is ruined. And it's only going to get worse. when uh Giannis gets traded to uh Boston. Or Jalen Brown in a second round pick. I gotta preach Winkler.
And that's it. Ben says, then after Giannis leaves, the media will pummel us, Milwaukee Market fans, into believing, dang, you had it so good. Just be happy you had him. Oh, 1000%, that narrative is going to be spun. They'd be like, oh, the Bucs have failed Giannis.
You know, the Bucks, you know, disappointed. They could only get one championship with Giannis. How come they couldn't make it work with Giannis? I don't know. Did you need to put his cousins on the fucking bench too?
The Bucks had two of their brothers, and neither of them are any good. Rock Talk MKE says, honestly, Jalen Brown on the Bucs is intriguing.
However, seeing Giannis in a Celtics uniform would destroy me on the inside. I just hate. this entire situation. He's not playing for the Bucs.
Well, Brown and I'll help play. Jalen Brown will not play for the Bucs. It's going to be a trade to trade him. You're going to flip Jalen Brown for additional assets. I promise you, if it's going to be Giannis and Jalen Brown, and that's the deal.
Jalen Brown will not play for the Bucks. Milwaukee is a great place. No, I believe it. I sincerely do. But Jalen Brown will not play from Milwaukee.
All right. Forrest says my question is how the fuck? Doesn't old Paul George get five first-round picks? Bridges, first-round, but Giannis. Three is too much.
We need lottery picks, not mid-level players. Giannis is 31. That's why. Jake says finishing a rewatch of the last dance. Giannis to Miami or Boston is like MJ mailing in his ball sack and going to Detroit.
Absolutely pathetic and he's burning every bridge on his way out. Yeah, how would you feel about how do you guys feel about Giannis once he leaves? Is it like okay, great? We got the one championship or those the last. I would say like year and a half.
Does that really like sour? The Giannis relationship is does it more like okay, what have you done for me lately? Like, you've been bitching. This entire time, fuck you, or thanks for the ring. Yeah, it's a great question.
One that certainly we can continue to have the conversation on August 6th with the Winkler versus Tailgate for Brewers Pirates. I have pinned the link. We have a date.
So if you're coming. Use the link. It's set up through the Brewers and FIVO and get your tickets. We got outfield seats. Um and then we can know how much like Food to get and shit.
And you know. It's not gonna be bring your own We'll have some stuff. But B Y O A, bring your own additional. I C W R O in case we run out. What's that extra letter for?
Whites can come to the tailgate. Anyone can come to the tailgate. I don't give a shit. Is it August 6th, you said? Yeah.
The day Thursday. Yeah. Interesting, and I also am not going to rent. Last time I rented, you can rent parking spots. I'm not going to do that.
That costs like 350 bucks. I'd rather put that money towards food. and drink.
So I'm gonna need a few people to come with me. Early in the morning. August 6th, you say, on a Thursday.
Some uh Interesting. Yeah, you're gonna come to Milwaukee for my tailgate? All signs point to no, but The option is there. I don't do anything on Thursdays.
So, how do we view Yannis?
Well, we love Giannis. We love Yannis. It depends. Maybe it depends like. You know, because when council left.
That sucked.
So, Council, on his own accord, went to the team we hate the most. In hindsight, you guys can have him back. Fuck him. But then when Council left. He immediately was like An asshole about his time in Milwaukee.
As if it never happened or he never liked it. And then Milwaukee reporters did the 90-minute drive. To his press conference, and he was like, What the fuck are you guys here for? I'm a Cubs owner, or I'm a Cubs manager now.
So if he's like a big piece of shit. That'll change things. Oh, expletive warning on this one more than normal. Forrest says, Giannis said, I don't want to leave Milwaukee. I want to leave the Bucs, which is the dumbest thing in the world.
Like, Rust at ESPN Milwaukee. That was what he speculated.
So then it got attributed to God as saying that.
So, credit to. Credit to Bros. I mean, you got. But that's I I don't I don't think he was quoting Yannis in that in Giannis in that, but it got like aggregated that way. Yeah.
The Nashville Bucks. Whatever. Giannis leaving isn't the sticking point, Jake says. It's forcing his way to one of our rivals and doing it in the most passive-aggressive way possible to make him look like a pathetic, hypocritical pussy. I think that's a pretty good answer.
We don't Giannis, we know Giannis loves Mill. I think what's happening here. I'm still not even, I'm not, I'm not 100% that he gets traded. I'm not sure if I can do it. I'm about as 100% as I've ever been.
Like you, I thought it's just been noise for years. Uh, last offseason, I'm like, this is pretty real. I don't like you, I know. Yeah, go ahead. And then in the offseason, or not the offseason, and then the trade deadline, I'm like, why is Deanna still with Milwaukee?
That's where I was like, what the hell are we doing? You held on to him way too long.
So I'm at the point where it's no return. It's now or never. If he, if he doesn't, ever, if he doesn't get traded. Within the next 36 hours, I don't ever want to hear shams. I want shams to get fired.
For me, SP, and I want there to be repercussions. Bring back Woach. Because Woge would never. I just want to reiterate that Chomps cannot fucking speak when there's a camera light on him. He's so uncomfortable.
I don't think he talks in real life. If that's how he talks on TV, I don't think he talks. I think he's just a big texter. Maybe just a mute. He's one of these new generational people that grew up on tech.
So he communicates with lights and flashes and eye blinks and shit. You know, he doesn't have to. He should give jobs signs with emojis on them. Do you think he's going to get traded? 100 emoji.
He can just hold it up and not. He's like, oh, what happens if the Bucks don't trade him the poop emoji? Where might he go? Shamrock emoji, fire emoji, flame emoji for heat. Yeah.
We're going to do away with ASL. The new American Sign Language is just going to be fucking, you know, 38 laminated emoji cards. Yeah. I mean, why the fuck? I love you, two hearts.
Yeah, well soon we'll have like Printed glasses, and we can just emoji with people. Yeah. I mean, it is a way to talk to people of other languages.
So that's fun. But Shannon. If Giannis doesn't get traded. If he doesn't get traded, which he will. He was going to sign the extension.
And then more trade rumors. Because running the extension doesn't mean you're here for five years. It just means you're getting paid for five years. Kevin Durant showed us, Kevin Durant said. Sign the extension with the Nets.
He's played on like three different teams under that extension. Seriously, he's played for the Suns, the Rockets, and the Nets. You gave him a year of his life. This is the money. I feel like I feel like, and this is my main point on what I think Giannis is going through.
I think Giannis. This was his first Place. to like this is his first introduction to America.
Okay, America and he grew up here This is like I went to school in La Crosse. And The difference between where he grew up in Greece and Milwaukee is not comparable to Fond du Lac to La Crosse. But for me it was. It was like, I'm on my own. You know, I'm three hours away from home.
Yeah, you grew up in Greece? I can't just go home and cry. Although I found ways to do that. And I... I stayed.
I stayed for a little bit. I stayed after college for a little bit. And then at some point. You start thinking. Is this it now?
I did my move, but is this I moved once? Is this my life? Is this where I stay? And you look and you wonder. And I like branched out, I drove to Chicago one time, went to a job pair on Navy Pier.
and got a job at Altel. Altal, you remember Altal? What did they turn into? I got a $45,000 a year job. to move to Chicago and work at Altel.
Damn, your life was set. And that was going to be my ticket into the big city because I wanted to move to Chicago. I wanted to move to New York. I thought watching all these sitcoms growing up, there's no way I never live in New York because New York is blasting my face, and I think it's sick as fuck. But I never did that.
I moved to Milwaukee. Which is beautiful. In the summer. I'll give it that. Midwest summers can't be beat.
I'm sorry. I love me a good Chicago summer. Um And so I think there's a little of What is on the other side for me? But I found that out. Like I made a move.
Single. No attachments. Motherfucker's got his mom here. He's got two brothers. Not just here, but on the fucking team.
Which they will be cut. Real roster spots. They will be cut. Real paychecks. They will be cut immediately.
He's got four children. Including uh one in swim class with your kid. We're just gonna rip that up. And move to fucking Boston? Yep.
Wouldn't have ripped that up and moved to Miami? I don't Gotta find new swim classes. Does Boston even swim? I don't know. They get fucking drunk.
That they do. But he's a family man. He's going to be in the pubs with the Scottish guys. They drink him out of beer.
So I I don't know. I what what I'm what I'm mad about What I'm the most Let's rank, let's do a bardometer of things I'm mad about.
Okay. See if I have imaging. I do, I have them. I'm going to have to go from one to eight, though, because I can't write it in order. Also, is my microphone a little low?
It was low the other day. Uh yeah, still sounds like you. Oh but then when I uh No, when I when I maybe yours is high. That's very possible because um I have a professional microphone. Oh, yeah, I have to like talk right here for.
All right, I'm going to do a bardometer. I'm going to start from one and I'll go down to eight, okay? Yeah. There are debates. There are hot takes.
There are strong opinions. But in the quest for the truth, There is only one way to get the final say. It's time to fire up the Bartometer.
Okay, Barrow, this is number one to eight, and I don't know what it's gonna be, but I'm gonna think about him as I go. The things that piss me off the most about this Gianna situation. Number one. Number one, is everyone always telling Milwaukee what's best for Milwaukee? Shams and fans and media and Zach Lowe and all these motherfuckers out there.
You don't live here. You don't know us. We got Giannis and we got a chip.
Sorry.
Sorry, it's so bad for the equilibrium of the fucking NBA that Milwaukee had to win a goddamn title.
Sorry.
Number two. Number two is number one again. But from the perspective of the fan base that ends up getting him. Because He's been here for 13 years. That's a long career.
That's a Hall of Fame career if he ended right now. But at age 31, too, he's going to be a Miami Heat or a Boston Celtic. And you're going to basically think, The whole lead up was for this.
Now his career starts. None of that mattered.
Now he's a Celtic. We waited patiently, and now we finally got him. Haha, Milwaukee. It's like you never had him.
Now he's a Celtic. Celtic for life. Heat for life. All these accounts that have been fucking talking about it, especially Miami. Ooh.
Miami can't do jack shit with him either. Pat Riley is washed, and Eric Spolster is a LeBron merchant. I I think you gotta turn I don't think I can have music. I think YouTube will strike me. But thank you.
Yeah. So number two is basically number one. Number three. Yeah. Things I hate about this Gianna situation.
Number three is shams. Shams is going to be like, I told you guys, I told you he'd get traded. You told us he'd get traded before COVID. Hmm. We've had Multiple new pandemic scares.
Since you first told us he's getting traded. I fucking stocked up for Hantavirus. In Ebola! And number three.
Okay. God damn it, I hate shams. Shams. Whatever the hell his name is. Number four.
Yeah. Number four. I really wanted my kid to the driving range today, and he was looking forward to that. And we're going to have to do it later in the week now, and I'm pissed about that. Because I gotta sit on my fucking chair.
And if Giannis gets traded, ooh, I gotta sit here and maybe, you know. Pop a decent number on my podcast. Because this is awesome. I this is all I do.
So that pisses me off. Number five. Number five. You have Yanis a dead Akumpo? And you hire Adrian Griffin.
Some no-name out of nowhere? who can't figure out how to fucking coach a team. Like sure they won. But Okay. This motherfucker like.
Never showed up for practice and shit. Boy, do I got news for you after Adrian Griven? And then Doc Rivers. Yeah. Yeah.
The prime of Giannis' career. Yeah. Okay. Duck Rivers, first thing he says when he's hired. I wouldn't wish this upon anybody.
You're getting paid $10 million to just fucking live at the new hotel across from Pfizer Forum? Eat shit. Box. Jimmy Haslam. Jimmy Haslam of all the people.
To make this decision, it's Jimmy Haslam.
Meanwhile, John Horse is out playing fucking pickleball at goddamn Summerfest. Oh, that gives me the number six. Number six. Pickleball. Yeah.
Would What the fuck even is it? It's not good no one It's like you don't have to do anything. It's like four square antennas. But every old person that does it is blown out their kneecap. All you have to do is like walk.
And they get dressed in their pickleball outfits. Stop wearing outfits. To sports. Just go golf in jeans. You don't need the whole white uniform when you play pickleball.
Wait, so I when I run, I shouldn't be wearing my tights in singlet? No. But I you should be wrestling in a t-shirt and shorts.
Okay. Da da da da da. Speaking of one sec, how you doing up there, buddy? What are you working on? He spoke, that means he is alive.
You're good. Did you hear him? Yes. You doing YouTube or game? What video?
He's watching Till Dusk Till Dawn.
Okay, are you good up there by yourself? All right, miss ya. Number seven. Stephen. Yanis.
What are you doing? Stop being so passive-aggressive. Stab. Oh, I love Milwaukee. I don't know.
My agent's up to it. Fucking make a decision. Yeah, man. Yeah, say what you want. He's never actually made a trade request.
No, he's just moped for two fucking years. And number eight. Number eight. Me, me, I can't keep my emotions in check about this. I've never been able to.
I screamed on 150 stations about this for two years. Bort. Oh, why would they want to go with someone new? I don't know, cause you can't fucking handle your emotions, you cuck! Bored?

Yeah, Boston pretty much sucks. Ugh. Bryn says 15 roster spots, and he got two of his brothers on the team. What an ungrateful baby. Wow.
I don't have a baby drop. Bood says, the media will never love Milwaukee, Bart. Oh, well. We got a ring. And I'm sure that's a lot of people.
I'm sure that's a big segment of the people that are going to feel like that. Like, you know what? We had, we got a championship. Yeah, hopefully uh there's a new a uh There's a new freaking... Person to take over for Yannis and the Bucks have a chance, but.
Yeah, you're going to be in uh Gonna be a real tool mold. Jake says, if you told me the Bucs would have to sell their souls for a title, I'd still do it given I thought they'd leave town, didn't realize Jimmy Haslam as an owner was worse than selling your soul. Yeah, ask the Cleveland Browns. Yeah, there's an alternate timeline where the Bucs moved. Yeah.
They're in Nashville right now. Yeah. Uh or Seattle. Or Vegas. Nashville's so such a good city.
They deserve a team. I mean, Nashville, has anyone been to Nashville other than like five blocks? Oh, no, no, no. See, when I went to Nashville. It was only those five blocks.
Yeah, you go on Broadway, go to the honky-tonk on the corner, four levels of debauchery. You know, it's great, great. Five block radius. After that, you won't catch me outside of that. You won't catch me dead in Nashville.
Well, for some reason, Nashville, like when I say Milwaukee is great, people are like, Well, what about the parts of town that i is not as great? But with Nashville, it's like, oh, yeah, Nashville is great. Everyone thinks those five blocks are all of Nashville. But that's not the case. There's definitely places outside of Broadway.
Um but you see the highest concentration of um Horace blondes. on Bro Broadway, which is why Nashville is so great. Ben throws $9.99 to, I think, to you. You couldn't throw in an extra penny? What the hell am I going to do with 99 cents?
Thank you, Ben. For your production and patience. You are a man of the Winklerverse. Oh god. I could put that on my resume and let's see if that opens doors for me.
Can't get a job cut and tape it. I was going to. I got this application for, or I got this thing from Indeed. It looked pretty cool. It was like, We are looking for people to voice track internet radio stations.
Really? Yeah. And I was going through it and I started like putting down a sample. Like Hey, it's your boy. I use my fake name.
Hey, it's Brad Silvers on Hot 97 coming up. We got some Ed Sheer, and you know, I was doing something like that. And then I was like, all right, I'll get this to send. And I go through and it goes. It goes, understand, you won't be paid.
Except for the commission you get based on finding us sponsors. Nope, good. Like, I got a hard enough time doing that here. Right. Ah!
I gotta give it to fucking anything. I'm gonna give it to you. Absolutely not. Caleb Wilson to the Bulls wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. I think they're getting Darius Hacup Jr.
Oh, what was your other NBA news that I didn't know about? Oh, yeah, breaking news that Bart didn't give one shit about. But this is a national perspective.
So, nationally, I give a fuck about it. Dusty Mae is leaving Michigan. to become the head coach of the Dallas Mavericks.
So That's pretty big news if you are a hardcore X's and O basketball, you know. Fan, whether it's college or NBA.
So now I wonder if Billy Donovan's going to be the head coach of Michigan. And uh how much does um Dusty may make a Cooper flag better because the Mavericks were pretty much as last year.
So, yeah, big news. Big, big brand news. Uh let's see. Roberts says the next six years he will play on multiple teams, make multiple playoff appearances, but never to the finals before coming back to Milwaukee and getting them to the second round of the playoffs and retiring.
So, Kevin Durant. Without the return. Is that basically what we're saying Giannis is going to be? He's going to be the next KD. I don't I don't think like I do think Giannis will eventually come back.
If he leaves, but I'm with Robert James. I don't know if Giannis is ever going back to the finals.
Well, no, he can't fucking, he can't stay healthy for Building around Jalen Brown as your best player, and no viable number two or three option is about as herb coal as it gets. That's why Jalen Brown won't play for the box, man. I don't, it's not me trying to shit on Bucks fans at all. I just, he already said he won't. Pickleball is the land version of shuffleboard.
Boy Shuffleboard is already on land too. And then they asked you who the Bulls are drafting, and I think you answered that. Yeah, I'm going. If Caleb Wilson's off the board, I think, you know, because. It's essentially, let's just assume A.J.
Debounce is going to Washington. That means Darren Peterson's uh gonna go to uh Utah. Right, they have the number two pick. Who has three? I don't remember.
And a bulls are four.
So then it'll either be Caleb Wilson, I think, goes to three right before the Bulls would probably take him, which would leave Cameron Boozer. But. I still remember and harbor resentment for when Carlos Boozer got signed to the Bulls. That wasn't. Albatross is a contract, so I am now carrying over that hatred toward his child.
Therefore, I do not want to see another boozer in the old man.
So, I'm going to go with Darius Acub Jr. as the Bulls pick at number four, which I don't hate at all. I actually like that pick as well. Windhorse says Jalen has changed his tune and is open to Milwaukee as it will be because he has no choice. He has no choice, but I believe that's bullshit.
I believe Jalen Brown means what he meant when he first said it. He's not playing for Milwaukee. Another tweet here from Jake Weinbach covers the NBA. Boston's potential trade package for Giannis. Jalen Brown, Hugo Gonzalez, number 27 and a 27 first.
Why the fuck are we just giving him away? No, that's I would take the Miami deal. Take the Miami deal if that's the case. What's a pick in a 20 is going to do for you? If you can get two top 15 picks in this year's draft.
You do it. You hate to see more Giannis more in Miami, but. That's a better trade offer. Because at least you can get rid of Tyler Heroes' money. It's an expiring contract.
And, well, I mean, that's the thing. And this is we're going to go back down to all the media hates Milwaukee. Like, all right, Milwaukee will have this cap space. Who's going to want to play Milwaukee? Who are they going to sign?
So it's like, ugh. Which poison pill do you want to swallow more? Is this gonna fucking happen or not? It's yeah, I'm killing time with you, man. I'm refreshing.
Oh. Here here this this this we have to pay attention to. Longtime conservative talker in Milwaukee, Mark Belling. I think it's highly likely the Bucs trade Giannis in the next 30 hours.
Okay, Mark Belling thinks it's likely. Hey! Mark Belling thinks it's likely. I just repeat. God forbid I ever have a political take, but Mark Belling can talk about the fucking bucks.
Yeah. Like this ring light is. I can't fucking see right now. I don't know what I did, but I'm having a real hard time seeing. This is the easiest podcast you've ever had to do with me.
I'm just screaming the whole fucking time. Oh, yeah, I'm chilling. Mm-hmm. All right. Well, I'm going to wrap this up for now.
Is there anything? Dave Portnoy on how to fix soccer. Stop fucking asking. You don't have to fix soccer. Uh and uh if you do gotta fix soccer.
That's not the guy that you're asking. Big news for Edmonton Oilers, people. Connor Murphy's going to get an extension five years, $4.1 million. Shout out to Oilers. I'm giving the people news that they want to hear.
Here's news no one wants to hear: Gary Harris has picked up his $3.8 million player option for the Bucs. Oh, man. Very sorry to hear that. That's pretty bad, man. Uh sorry.
Uh any other Giannis news I need to know before I sign off and try to be a good father for fucking as long as I can before I have to be chained to my fucking unemployed job? Uh nope. Seems like you're going to have to react to it later.
Sorry.
ESPN is tapping college game day host Rhys Davis, the studio host for its Wimbledon coverage, marking his first foray into tennis.
So the guy's never called tennis before. And they're putting him as the studio host. For Wimbledon. Geez, ESPN is just Really? Fell off of a fucking cliff.

I thought I'm very, I'm just very proud of our countrymen, that being Americans, for not being total asses to. The visitors. I saw a video of a guy teaching a Japanese guy how to split the G on a Guinness. Yeah, and then they scored right after that. And then they scored right after that.
So that was pretty badass. Apparently, the Scots love Boston, drinking them dry. There was a video of a Scottish guy saying, I'm not going home. He's like, I'm staying in Boston. Like, this is great.
But apparently, everybody's been great to all the visitors. I'm not so sure what's up with this Freddy guy. I have my questions. I don't know about him either. But you know what?
For the most part, I'll be in a positive mood. Shout out USA, man. You guys are all doing your thing. Making us look good to the rest of the world. Bakers can't be choosers, but Thursday's game doesn't really mean anything.
And that is kind of disappointing. Sure, doesn't. Yeah. Well, I mean, listen, they took care of business. You know, the U.S.
took care of business against Paraguay and Australia.
So to the victor goes the spoils.
Now you can get a Polistic completely healthy. You know, he doesn't have to play a game. And, you know, it doesn't mean shit. You advance. And then you'll probably, I think what the likely matchup is going to be Bosnia.

I hope you guys.
Someday Or at least have the equivalent. I'm not going to make you like soccer, but. To understand the beauty of a 0-0 tie, I hope you have your thing of that. Oh, how did Spain do yesterday? Because I had them beating the hell out of something.
They smoked for nothing. Good. All right. So I'll listen to my kids. They did this before where they choke their first game and then they just go ham.
Yeah. Once they got that first goal. Uh today we have Messi France and Iraq.
So the Freedom Fries Bowl coming up at four o'clock. Who loves freedom more? All right. I got to go be a dad while I still can. Oh, we did an hour.

Well, we start to get into the knockout round and there's a game at noon my time. Can't wait. Yeah. Will Ireland soccer ever be a thing? Mm.
I don't know. What are you asking me that for? Because Baud's 5-2-2. Oh, okay. I was like, what the fuck?
I monitor comments. I respect our listeners. Yeah, the Irango. The guy was offsides just by his butt. Yeah.
He had a juicy butt. You can't have a sexy ass in this World Cup where you're off sides. It's got to be straight drywall, right down. Final thoughts. Fuck all of this.
All of it. Yeah. And thanks for watching. Avianis gets traded. I'll be right back here.

You just go work out and Oh, just workout. Yeah, I'm supposed to go for an easy three and a quarter mile run today, but I kind of tweaked my knee.
So I'm going to give it some rest. Uh met m uh the Cubs are here in town. In New York for the next four games, but uh, tonight today's game might get rained out. There's rain in the forecast, and this is the only game that I was supposed to go to was today's.
So, if they have to replay this, I'm going to be fucking super tight. But I will at least go to the gym.
