The Milwaukee Bucks' decision to sign Gary Trent to a four-year, $64 million contract has left fans and experts questioning the team's strategy, with some calling it a desperate attempt to keep Giannis Antetokounmpo on the team. Meanwhile, the Brewers are struggling on the field, and the World Cup is heating up with controversy over a disputed goal in a recent match.

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile.

Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back.

So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills. But it turns out, That's very illegal.

So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com/slash switch. Up front payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for a 12-month plan required. $15 per month equivalent to taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes means slow when network is busy.

I am Bart Winkler. Happy Saturday night. I'm coming at you live on a Saturday night for some ungodly reason. And the reason is. Gary Trent Emergency Podcast.

There's just a lot to talk about. And before we do the take-me out to the Paul game, which is now scheduled for Sunday, fingers crossed. And then I don't want to wait until we talk with Carlos on Monday here on Into the Winklerverse. There's plenty of Bucks related things. To discuss here, and I would like to discuss those with you.

I'll also touch on a little brewers and a little World Cup, another thrilling day, the last day of double soccer of two games in a World Cup day that we're gonna get until 2030. We have now Argentina and England, which will be the game on Wednesday afternoon, and then we have France and Spain, which will be the game on Tuesday. Afternoon.

So, if you are thinking of going somewhere for that, again, reserve seating through my link at Tom's. Thank you to Ben for doing that. No, thank you for really Anybody else? Maybe next cup. I want to talk about the Bucks.

And I titled this Gary Trent Bucks Circumvent the Salary Cap. And Bucks fans are mad. Hero versus Adabio emergency pod.

So Bam and Tyler got in a scruffle. on Friday. At one of Tyler Hero's, I guess, AAU practices or something on a practice court. And that was a day of coverage. The Bucs then become the center of the story at Summer League again as everybody gets the notification that Gary Trent and the Bucs.

have reconvened on a relationship. And I think that when Gary Trent first came over here, Dame was here.

So then he, you know, I'll come here, play on a Vet Min. Remember how excited we were when Gary Trent came over on a, on a, maybe a Vet Min, but a really small $2 million, $3 million contract. And we were excited, but we also thought, okay. This might be one of those things where He'll get more money later. And the Bucs might say.

We're going to pay you more money as a thank you. For what you did. By taking less, you're gonna get yours. It's just we have to squeeze you in low before we can get you a little bit. Of a bump.

And a similar situation kind of happened with Bobby Portis maybe four years ago. But Bobby Portis, when he signed his next deal, this was still a deal at somewhat market value. Four years, $64 million, all guaranteed for Gary Trent Jr. is not market value. And if you ask a lot of these guys that cover the NBA, they'll say they had them at Vet Min at the most.

For Gary Trent to come back on this team. And the problem with Trent is. They may have had this agreement. Like, let's say this happened. Gary, come here.

Get little money. We will then give you more money. In a couple of years.

So, play this out. We'll then give you more money in a couple of years. And then Gary Trent was like, Yeah, that's fine with me. I'll do it. I trust you.

We'll handshake agreement here. And then Gary Trent proceeds. to have maybe the worst season he's had. in uh quite some time. Gary Trent was not good last year.

Sam Venici tweeted this. All I ask here is simply. What other player in the past? has agreed to sign for the minimum one year. Gone on to have his worst season in seven years, where he was a below-average player by any standard.

And then got five times as much money in free agency the following year.

So this is not just Bucks fans.

Well, there's two different things. I guess there's two different things. Everybody in the NBA that saw this contract. is looking at this like. What on God's Green are you doing?

Why are you doing this? I think Rusillo just quote tweeted ha ha or something. Like, what are you doing? Um Bucks fans meanwhile Bucks fans are like What are you doing? Please look into this league.

Please get this rescinded. We don't want to be stuck with this. You've now got what Harris and Dame. contract on the cap for thirty five million for the next four years. It was this worth it, absolutely not.

But it does seem, I mean, it totally seems like this is what. It's not even seems like it's so obvious this is what's happened. But then for him to still have a bad year, go on and make. Four for 64. This is absurd.

Now, his representation is clutch. which is Rich Paul, the LeBron James. And they control so much, and this is a problem. That if Adam Silver wants to tinker with his eight, nine seeds or his draft lottery, how about you can just like you have to do things for agents?

So that they help you out down the line, and you can't excommunicate yourself with an agent or agency. That would be a nice thing. To address.

So the league is laughing at us, Bucs fans, and Bucs fans are like, Please look into this. Whatever it takes to get it rescinded, take some future second-round picks if you have to. This is Absurd. Q joins the program, as does To my surprise, surprise. Q, what's up with you?

I just finished painting. A room.

So Yeah. Were you watching Argentina? No, I was I was painting and listening to the new Rolling Stones album. Came out today. They have a new album?

Yeah. 80 Year Olds. It's like, it's pretty like, considering they're 80 years old and they released an album yesterday. Not bad. It sounds like it was recorded live.

I like it. All right. Thoughts on Gary Trent? Did I say Gary Harris once? I might have, but thoughts on Gary Trent.

So $16 million a year. Yeah. Um So, what's the price of a cup of coffee at Starbucks right now? Five bucks? Um God, I don't know.

I brew my own, but sure. And it used to be like two. Like one a buck fifty, two dollars. Sure.

So I I just feel like sixteen million is like the new Six million dollar contract. But even six million a year for four years for this guy is probably absurd. No, but I I think that like the league minimums around no, yeah.

So obviously things have gone up. And I posted something about this earlier where I remember quite vividly. The day and the week on the radio where Chris Middleton signed four for 44. And everybody had to call in and say, He's not like the $10 million per year thing scared everybody. He's not a $10 million guy.

And I'm screaming, the cap's going to go up. And also, he is. And then some people are like, that never happened, which that just means, again, I have to remind myself. I'm engaging with 19-year-olds. Mm-hmm.

More than I should be. Yeah, online just because they don't, and this is to the youth of today. Let me on a old man here. Just because you weren't there for something doesn't mean it didn't happen. Like I was there and I'm telling you it happened.

So Don't think you're smarter than me just because you're half my age. Yeah, Q.

Somebody just said, how is Kawhi's contract wrong and Gary Trent is right and I can feel that way Q. I for me, I think it's it's much to do about inflation. But there's also a very serious component. Min one year. Yeah, I think you're sort of on the edge of it.

I mean, so I think it's no one was offering Gary Trent half of this. I think it's both combined. I think That Don't hate the player, hate the game. Like, I appreciate John Horse. I think that the last two years when we re-signed Gary Trent Jr., I was pumped.

Like the first year, here you go. I'm pumped for Gary Trent Jr. on a vet min when he's going to team back up with Dame. Nik oh I mean Yeah, I'm not pumped for, hey, we're finally rebuilding. We don't have like huge Albatross contracts, oh, except for the Dame one, and then now except for the Trent one.

I just think it will be. I think that we will look back at this and it will be a tradable contract. By the end of the year, are they doing this because they're trading other contracts and they're just trying to make sure they hit the minimum? Yeah, and that's that's I think that's what this is. And I mean Are our you Your friend, I've only met him a couple times, but Justin Garcia has been hinting at this.

for the last like month and a half. And like he does not steer us astray. But I don't think he's hinting at four for 64. No, he said it like I. He must have heard rumors because he was hinting that it was going to be something.

that we wouldn't understand. Like he like, my take from listening to Lockdown Bucks for the last month was: brace yourself. Grab your, like, it will take Gary Trent Jr. deciding he wants to play for a contender for us to not. drastically overpay him.

So it must have been well known that like There was like a influence that these agencies have. That I think is a bigger problem for silver, but it's one that I don't know how you can address. Yeah, and I honestly, like. Um I know Grant, because of his age, thinks that LeBron is like God's gift to the NBA in basketball. But Um anybody who thinks Anybody who thinks that he is the best basketball player to ever play the game.

Ask yourself, what did that man do for this league? And it's Bullshit like this. That, like, he is the most selfish player that the league has ever seen. I think Um Like, I'm actually like quasi-like. I mean, I'm talking about Rich Paul, but.

Okay. I'm gonna bring Jake in here. Who invented Rich Paul? Oh, that's fall. Rich Paul and LeBron.

Hold on, Jake, you know what Jake looks like right now? Uh Jake looks like he's selling feet pictures. Jake looks like that William Dafoe meme. I saw Bart looking something up. Yeah, I mean you look you look let me Let me get all of us out of here for a sec.

Yeah. Wonderful.

Well done, sir. Can't do it. Bad at it. Anyways, what's up, Jake? No, we're good.

Jake, what do you got to say? Jake. Jacob Hart. High take. Are you doing a bit?

Talk. All right. Uh Tim's. I don't know. Tim, can you edit that in post?

I got it. Tim, what's new in your life? Time stamp it at 12.11, please. 12-11, done. Dude, I took one of those gummies.

Which ones? The purple one.

Well, those are just supposed to help you sleep.

Well, it's doing some other stuff, too.

Okay. Jake, I think it's doing some stuff to Jake's phone. Hey, am I back? Yeah, go ahead.

Okay. All right, then, Tim, then slice it back in at 12.59. Jake, if you defend LeBron or Jake or Rich Paul. I didn't jump on here at 11 o'clock on a Saturday night to talk about LeBron. I was just going to say, why the hell would I even talk about LeBron?

What is that? Because of clutch sports. But okay, if that's LeBron's agent, like what No, Rich Paul is his middle school friend. That's the only reason any like Do you guys not realize Rich Paul runs the league because of LeBron James? Like he's married to Adele because of LeBron.

That's how powerful this guy is, that he can get his high. This is on a macro level. I would like to be true to the Gary Hare or Gary Trent. Junior. Emergency pod.

Jake. Okay. So what is that click clacking? Just power through everybody.

Okay, yeah, we got to get somewhere here.

Okay, so. you know, over the Giannis years I often wondered like When Yannis is gone, and I was hoping that would be a long time down the road. How long was it going to take for the bucks to just revert back into Bottom feeding, basement dwelling, laughing stock of the league franchise. And today it was like, okay, about two weeks. But then I kind of started to realize.

This is the kind of move that makes you like, you know, it sinks in. They never left. They've always been the laughing stock. They just had Giannis. I think, Bart, you had a really good take that, like, they went to Wonderland while Giannis was there.

They went to Narnia.

Now they're back in their shitty lives, in their shitty existence. And they skated off of Giannis' greatness for a long, long time. And this is the kind of shitty move That makes absolutely no sense. I mean, this is born out of desperation when last year, thank you, Giannis tells you. That's He's done.

He wants to get traded. And you're like, no, no, no, no, no. You know what this is? We love our similes or our metaphors here. This is like the wife faking a pregnancy to try to save the marriage.

No, no, no. We'll wave Dane. We'll stretch him. We'll get Miles Turner. We'll do a handshake deal with Gary Trent.

You'll love us then, right, Giannis? It it was absolutely stupidity. For the next four years, you're going to be paying $36 million a year for Damian Lillard to play somewhere else and for Gary Trent to be your fifth guard off the bench. This is just the type of clown show bullshit that this franchise truly is at its core. And You know, thank god we had the honest years, but it's over now, and now we can be in embarrassment again, just year in and year out.

Having a daily routine is crucial. For me, daily walks with my dog are a non-negotiable part of my wellness routine to get some fresh air and clear my mind. And after those walks, it's easy to grab my favorite all-in-one nutrition shake and take it wherever I'm off to next with Kachava's new travel packs.

What? Oh yeah. Footage, please. I don't think I can't show any of this footage. Damn it, come on, Bart.

You can't show it. Also, did anyone see this McGregor fight? No, did he get his ass whooped? No. He, as soon as the fight started.

His knee blew out. Yeah. Liciel?

So McGregor goes and takes a step. His knee blows out. He just backs up like this. Holloway is like, what the fuck? And then he's like, yeah.

Yeah, the fight lasted. Like no seconds. Shut up. Yeah. Dude, UFC is in trouble, man.

No, this is the kind of shit that I get into.

Well they're going down the tubes. They have no sword power. No, I watch the White House lawn. A main event.

Okay. There was nothing else on that night, and I was up late. And it was right after the thing, then. And then I was just scrolling, and I saw this because I saw someone go, Connor McGregor with the Aaron Rodgers Jets flag meme. And I go, So, what?

He just got knocked out right away. And then I saw. No, he just they blows out his knee and then they both just walk away. That is objectively hilarious. Do you watch soccer?

I watched a lot of soccer, which I'll get to in a bit. Tim, you've been staring into a screen for 10 minutes. Do you have any thoughts on Gary Trent? No. Portrait mode.

Yeah, in portrait mode is so is Q trying to look sexy.

Well, here's a thing. I don't try. This is just how I live, my friend Bart. I need a hand check on my friend Jake over there. Hand check, Jake.

Stop staring at me, buddy. I'm leaving because the best part is that I can only hear you, Bart. What? I'm the you're the only one I can hear. How?

I have no idea. Mm-hmm. You get a lot of work tonight in post, so that gummy better not kick in too much more. I can't even turn my phone here to get Yeah, I think that's a user error problem. I'll be back in a little bit.

I love this. Don't miss it. Uh okay, Tim.

So, are we supposed to join in portrait mode? I didn't know. I just was holding my hand. Is this it? Yeah, yeah.

So I don't know what we're going to see from Tim. By the way, Tim's night is brought to you by Happy Place Hemp, of course. HappyPlaceHemp.com, promo code BART, 25% off each and every order. That is at happy placehemp. Yeah.

The other big Bucks news of the weekend. Is BAM? Pulled up on Tyler Hero. And punched him in the face. There's gotta be footage of this.

I need to see this. Did you see the footage of Davian Mitchell on the bench trying to cock off to the Bucs guys? No, I think that was much ado about nothing. I think he was playing around. Mm.

I so But I tweeted something like I said, because at first. At first I thought Tyler Hero was like fighting back, but I guess he didn't. Um, and I was like, fuck yeah, if you're gonna ride for us, I'm gonna, I'll take a bullet for you. And then. I'm also trying to do this thing right now where I'm trying to grift heat fans.

And say bad things about them so then that that they you know, help me get Twitter money. And that is an admittal. That is an admitting of a grift. But it's not to my own, it's to others, and they eat it right up. But I also think there's a lot of heat fans.

That just like sit on their phone and wait. Scroll, anyone mention anyone? And now they're now they're ready to die. For Bam Atabio, who they didn't care about really, turned on him, and then he hit 83 Mickey Mouse points. And now he's punching Tyler Hero in the face.

Well, Tyler said something on social media. You can't just go up and punch a guy in the face. And I'm proud that Tyler Hero is going to wear a scar for our Milwaukee Bucks. Welcome to the club. Who?

Who ends with a better MBA career. Bam or Dwight Howard? Dwight Howard Howard. Yeah. So uh look Giannis left us.

What do you think about Gary Trent?

Well, my thoughts on LeBron. Hey, so bam punch Tyler Hero. Anyway, this Dwight Howard guy. No, I just I feel like Giannis left us for Like Dude, do you guys remember Cliff Robinson? That guy was awesome.

I'm shocked. I'm still shocked that Giannis forced his way to Miami. I I think LeBron's gonna end up there. That that's my Um I'm serious. Like, they've got to be bringing in somebody.

There there's gonna be another I need the heat to start like five and nine. And then Giannis is going to have one of those pressers where he's just like. You know, maybe the grass isn't greener. But I don't know yet. I don't like I don't know.

I'm just you know. But I he's He's, I think he's gonna be glad that he's trying something new, but again, I wish he. I think he wishes he could live both lives and see what's better, and then pick that one.

So, if you don't do that, I think the entire time he's in Miami, he's going to be thinking about, oh, I miss Milwaukee, just like his last few years in Milwaukee. He was wondering what it would be like in Miami or elsewhere.

So, I don't think he's been distracted the last few years. And I think that's going to continue, even though now he seemingly has. Everything he wants. I don't know. I hope they play in the playoffs.

I think that would be amazing.

Well, when you're paying very. You're paying Gary Trent $16 million. We got more shots, baby. Gary Trent's going to be an all-star. Hey, there's not enough basketballs on the court.

He's their seventh guard at this point.

Well, they got it. He's a starter. You don't pay a man $16 million a year and not start him. This is like if we paid Kurt Benkert $10 million a year to be on the practice squad. No, what's going on here?

This is Matthew Delavodova. This is Mirza Toledovich. This is Miles Plumley. This is Bobby Simmons. This is Drew Gooden.

Take your pick. I uh I'm I'm honestly I'm glad we tried. I'm glad we put it all out there to try and make it work with Giannis.

So I'm here for this contract. Wear it with pride. I'm not sure you 100% are. getting the situation but i i also i I see what you're saying. It's like.

This was, we thought we were clear. Of any Giannis favors, but this is the one that. Hadn't been cashed in yet.

Well, I think it's just a business deal. Like, I.

Well, yeah, they're not paying Gary Trent $60 million to play. They're not paying him $60 million to play basketball. They're paying. They're paying whatever the fee is. to Rich Paul.

to stay in his good graces. Yeah. But also like We gave it a shot. We gave it our best. We got 21.

We had a couple other good runs along the way. It didn't work out. You know, they're not out of the woods with this thing. Like, there's a lot of parallels to this deal. Then, there was a deal that Joe Smith made back with the Timberwolves in the 90s where.

They wanted to keep him. They wanted to have him and Kevin Garnett play together.

So he signed these no, like, you know, near league minimum contracts. And then eventually was able to get the big deal. And what happened was the league finds out about it. And they ended up fining the Minnesota Timberwolves a bunch of money. Their GM and owner were suspended from the year or from the NBA for a year, and they got docked five first-round picks as a punishment.

So we don't have any first round picks.

Well, we just acquired some, and we don't have any first-round picks that we can trade. The NBA could take whatever first-round picks they freaking want.

So, like, yeah, we're not out of the woods here, especially with. I think Kawhi's not playing this year. I think he's going to play it all. I think that's going to come back to bite him. And I think this is going to screw Milwaukee.

I think all of them. They were saying that Kawhi is going to have to plan a Vetman.

So maybe he'll end up in Miami. From Tony in Texas. Tony, get out of here. I miss you. I thought he, well, I'm not going to say what I thought happened to Tony, but Tony's on Grant's show all the time.

Yeah. No, I do think Kawhi I think that deal gets voided, and I don't think he plays this year. I think he's going to be suspended for a season because the NBA, number one, they're not going to let him walk to a contender to play for the minimum after screwing them over and circumventing the cap. Bard loves this bit. Tony asked if you were in the tanning bet.

I wanted to show him that. No, this is representing my mood right now towards the Milwaukee block. Willem Dafoe is from Wisconsin. I gotta give the Bucks a lot of credit. I think everyone knows that cue.

I think it's actually quite impressive. You know who Dini's from Appleton? Harry Houdini? No way. Also, Andy Hurley from Fallout Boy.

No, it's kind of like the Anchorman thing, where I'm not even mad. How'd you do that? Where, like, in one day, they have killed all my enthusiasm for this franchise altogether. Why? What about the fact that they're on free TV now?

That's exciting. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. This is great.

Well, if the bigger picture of that is like, that's probably not a good thing for the franchise, maybe for the fan base right now. And also, it doesn't help that it looks like they drafted a less athletic DJ Wilson with the 13th pick. You know, just, I don't know, kill me now. I'm telling you this. I grew up.

I didn't have cable TV. If it wasn't for UPN and the Bucks, I would not be a Bucks fan right now.

So I think it's very cool that a next generation gets some free bucks, at least for a year. Absolutely. You get a bunch of people that can watch the Bucks that will have zero interest in watching the Bucks.

So it'll be how long are they going to call? It's 669 on my direc TV, but If the Bucks are on My Twenty Four and other statewide networks, And the brewers are on brewers.tv. How long is Bally, what is it? FanBuild Sports with Scott. They're just going to show Kay Adams 24 hours a day?

I think that's done. I think they went bankrupt.

Well, they're still airing like. What the fuck were they airing? They were airing something. I'll pull up their schedule like I used to do with MTV.

Some fishing show, probably. Speaking of that, how great is it? Two North Outdoors. As a Brewers fan, I pay for the entire season to stream. And then last weekend, I don't get to watch any of their games because they're on three fucking networks that I don't get, even though I paid for a fucking season.

The fuck is that? All right, here is the schedule. for um FanBuild Sports Wisconsin. I'll just give you a Sunday. And um Monday.

Did they have the naked lady golfing still or wearing next to nothing? It may be on here.

So let's say tomorrow, if you wake up, nine o'clock, you're watching Pin Shot. And then Jimmy Hanlon, who's a Chuck Freeman, lookalike. Another hour of golf shows. Then two episodes of a show called Digging Deep with George Brett. You're going to see the Hobby House show off Fanatics Fest NYC.

Then the card life, she's in the game, sports stars of tomorrow, SEC state of mind. Sims Complete. Join Matt Sims and Phil Sims as they share unique perspectives on the sports they love. Then, for some reason, Believe in Rams has a show on Fox Sports Wisconsin. This would be like if Locked on Packers was on this fucking thing.

Believe in chargers. FIBA World Basketball Weekly Wrap-Up. This is the All Blacks in their own words, which is a team name. It's a rugby team name. I think uh New Zealand.

I don't want to. pronounce that weird. Three ice draft special, fight sports MMA, Amanda Leanovers, Man Infuriote. Monday, they're showing The same thing. The same shit, except for three hours of Veason by the books.

Which is an awful show. I've tried to watch that. Nothing. What does this channel exist for? It's done.

It's kind of cool. We can drop cable soon. Why the fuck are they airing Bleve in Rams? The only reason I had cable was to watch Bucks and Brewers. Where'd Jaco?

He he dropped when you started reading that. Timmy. Yes. Oh, you couldn't hear me. I can't hear you.

Tim, they want us to turn our phone sideways. Turn your phone sideways, my friend. There we go. Oh oh. No, well that didn't work.

You can keep your phone like that, but if you could lay like horizontally. Maybe I could switch it. Yeah. I'm going to let you guys do it. Love you guys.

I'll see ya. Uh Tim, I had some brewer stuff for you anyway. I'm so pissed off at them right now. Go ahead. I hey, I I bet on both games today.

I bet him to win.

Well, that's money that you won't get back. I also bet Argentina to cover the one and a half. But it doesn't count because they didn't do it in regular time. Go ahead. Won two hundred and twenty five bucks yesterday in a bar after work.

Uh doing what? Lane Fireball. I don't know what that is. A slot game. The fireballs come.

Oh yeah, okay. 225. Yeah. Uh do we know the bar? No.

It's not Maguire's. No, okay. Um So we just always lose at the break to the Pirates or what?

Well, okay. Do they always schedule us against the pirates or does it just feel like that? feels like it 'cause we lose. Last time we played him we had a five game series and lost all five there. But last year we played Washington.

That's during our thirteen or fourteen, whatever it was, game winning streak.

So, no, it just feels like it's Washington becau or it feels like it's Pittsburgh because They just lose all the time there. Are you interested that we drafted some kid whose brother we already have? Uh sure. Brady Ebel, 17. Is no no Brady Ebels the guy we have.

We took him last year in the first round. This year we took Trey Ebel. Uh with the 25th pick.

So we get rid of one brother. Handcuffing our franchise.

Now Brady Ebel's throwing shit around with the Brewers. I Dedo Cumpo store coming next to Fucking Palermos. Uh we also took What does he even play? Uh infielder. Short?

Yep. Sawyer Strauss Neider. He's an outfielder. Kyle Jones is an outfielder, and right-handed pitcher. Julian Garcia, not to be confused with the aforementioned.

Just him. Garcia. Miz will not be pitching on Sunday against Skeens. Which means, oh, okay, so then the first round Fisher, and then this guy went at number 32. Miz will not be pitching against Skeens, which means he also won't be pitching in the All-Star game.

Yeah. Arm fit. Or just not Well Is it Eerling Holland type fatigue where in the biggest game of your life, you were too tired to play the last 15 minutes for Norway? You don't know what I'm talking about. Yes, I do.

I saw they were done. Players. I watched. No, I've yeah, but there are two games today. I was talking about the first one.

Oh, my bad. I was watching the second one. Which I'm still going to have a few words about here in a moment. Any other brewer thought? Jake says, heard a rumor.

Mason Miller is available. Forget Scoobel. Miller's the big fish. Go get him. I did a radio interview this week.

Elsewhere, and they asked me about the brewers. And I said, I mean, last year we wanted to go all in, they traded for. Jordan Montgomery's contract just so we could get fucking Shelby Miller.

So. Oh, and we got Brandon Lockridge. Yeah. I don't know what the fuck they're gonna do with this. Yeah.

Who knows? Starter and a point. And I keep saying I think the impending strike or whatever should motivate us more since. You have more time to rebuild. It doesn't really make sense, but it does in my head.

Yeah. I mean, I starter and a uh and a bullpen guy, but I could see them doing nothing. But we'll see. Just get through tomorrow. May try and win tomorrow.

Would be nice. Would be cool to be Yeah. you know, sixty wins at the All-Star break, but You're gonna see that you're gonna see that possibly that Sunday lineup tomorrow, big time. Keep an eye open for that. Why would you say one more game?

Good play it.

Okay. Oh, I know, because that's Pat Murphy. Everyone needs a rest. Jelich is going to rest. Watch Terang rest.

Greg Jones. Why is Greg Jones on this team? Greg Jones, if they win the World Series. They'll get a ring. It's it's gonna be like um It's gonna be like You try to figure out who's on the roster, and Greg Jones will be the one guy you can't get.

Yeah. I have a voicemail here from Vincent and Anaheim. Oh God, when, so he just sent this, so he must be back in like opening day in April. No, I think he's still Last year. Oh, last year.

Okay. The bid on Vincent. If you don't know, Vincent is he is like a Winkler verse completist.

So he won't listen to any of this. until he catches up on every other thing that happened. We're not like He's like Waiting for more episodes to come up before he can binge it. Like you would do with the TV show he's doing with this podcast. He doesn't need to know the news of the day, but he still wants to follow, I guess.

The Adventures. Um I'm going to play Vincent if you don't mind. You can leave your voicemails on the Carl's Place hotline. There's Carl's Place logo. The link is wherever I put it.

402-915-BART. 402-915-2278. Here is Vincent. Hey, what's up? Man, it's me, Victor and Anaheim, man.

Wanna say what's up? I wanna holla at you, Vad. I guess what? I finally decided. I've been listening to all your podcasts from 2025 and then August, I think August 17th episode.

Of 2025, I downloaded all of them. I mean, I'm downloading all of them and listening to them. And I already get into August, man, so you know, I I I've got past your whole, uh you know, the the Bucks are over coming up here to play off. They made fun of that guy who would always say that. Uh the whole mix, you know, to be honest to the mix.

That was annoying the shit out of you. And then, what else did we do? The brewers didn't do anything for the trade deadline last year. Uh What else, man? At the last night, so I try to retaste some information.

It trips me out because sometimes some of the predictions that you did say did come true eventually, and some of them didn't. You know, how you first didn't believe that Market Parsons wasn't going to come to the Packers. And almost, I think, I get to that point where there ain't the trading reaction.

So I'm going to get to that show. This is insane. And all that, man.

So a shout out to you, man. I am, I still, I, uh, I feel a hoarder, so I do still have a hoarding problem. I remember you were concerned about that in late 2024 when I said that in the last message. And um two had A. Over there at WSSP, man, Tim Allen is the post-game show producer.

The young guy, I think his last day was on Friday, man. You gotta put in your resume over there, man. That's not right. If they do blacklist, you're blackballing you over there, man. You were always a damn guy for your radio stations, you know what I mean?

And I like that. You would cool.

So they should get you back over there in WSSP, man, at least. Come on, Sparky. Come on, Spark Dog. What's up, man? Got you the connection, Spark.

But anyway, man, hopefully, you keep continuing with the podcast. Keep doing your thing. This is Vincent Anaheim, and I am. August 10th. And on the month of August 2025, on the Weekly Hurst podcast, man.

So I'm gonna keep going till I catch up to you, man. And this is for Tariel. I'm serious about it because I work a lot.

So I'll be able to listen to your episodes. No excuses on trying to do that.

So I haven't listened to nothing in 2026 yet. All right, so I'm a year behind, all right? I had to bar keep doing your things as an Anaheim's oak brew crew. Go Angels, go Giants, go Packers. Go Razors, go back.

Boom. Raptors, go Lakers, and go wizards, all right? I said, Bart. Keep doing what you're doing. Wizards is a new one.

Hi, Sam. What's up to all the Winkler Hurst? And uh Yes. All right, Vincent and Anaheim. I set it up and he.

He said exactly what I said. That's what he does, Tim. Wait until he finds out that the brewers well, he probably knows, but. till the brew uh that the brews uh got swept in the NL CS. Yeah.

He's got a few things to look forward to, including me having an issue at a playoff game. Yeah. Oh yeah. So I'm trying to scroll back and see where he is. He must be at Oh, the yeah, the twenty the twenty-fifth.

Mm. So, uh oh, he's in August? That's what he said, yeah, August twenty fifth. All right, 8425. Bart, Paul, and Grant discussed the need that Packers and Bears fans have to constantly keep the rivalry burning every single week.

Well, if you want to call this on the air, but I am broadcasting on social media. And you are on live with me on my phone. Oh my god. Um Real quick, I don't want to get off topic, but way to go, Argentina Messi. Um Were you watching the games tonight?

I was. I haven't talked about him yet, but I this is a good Prelude into that. Yeah, it was great, great night. Yeah, I'm Brett Messi1. I'm worried about Mmbappe.

Um I'm worried about France. I don't think it's going to be hopefully it'll be Argentina. uh versus um uh France and Messi wins again with a uh last minute penalty kick. With three hours of playing. Yeah, I mean, it's exciting, my friend.

I just love it. Hey, and real quick, for all those listening, Art Winkler has changed my life. He's made me even more of a legend. Goal for your dreams and boom shakalaka is taking hold of America around the world. Hey, hold on a second.

Hey, hold on, Greg.

Okay. Okay. Greg, I we haven't we haven't talked in like seven months. Right, right. How you been?

And just falling apart physically. Can't feel my feet, just not healthy. But oh well, I've made a difference. Um If I die young, I die young. I've been on with so many times with Cuomo, I'm sure you know, and Stephen A.

Smith. He wants a different name than uh Boom Shaka Laka. He thought it was specifically for him. Especially for him, and he wants something new. Yeah, tell Stephen A.

Smith he's got to compete with Bart G. Winkler. I trust me. Trust me, you know what I'll bring you up. He lets me do whatever I want, trust me, because of Cuomo.

and all that stuff and then he knows all the uh Intersection of me, him, and uh Stephen A.

So, oh yeah, I brought up the uh David. Shepherd quite often. Yeah, a little bit. And um I think just Carlos Ortiz gets a little bit of jealous of me because that's what I always thought it was, too, Greg. I always thought that.

Because Carlos was paid to be my. or the produce the show and then you would come in and just outshine him every every time you picked up the phone. Thank you. You're welcome. I knew that.

You you changed my life, trust me. He'll never be forgotten. And you will Be mentioned often. I'm going to bring you up on Cuomo again. Good.

And oh, yeah, trust me, we're going to. Art G. Winkle is going to be uh getting more famous and uh Trust me, if I'm alive. You'll never be forgotten and you will be brought up and you'll go.

Someone just mentioned you, Bart. You know what? I'll relay that promise to you and then I'll let you go. But as long as I'm alive, you'll never be forgotten. Thank you very, very much.

And real quick, How's Al Bardo Jr. doing? Very good? He's doing good. We tried to stay up for Messi tonight, but he...

Fell asleep in about the 80th minute, and then I took him up to bed.

Okay. Love you and you have a great night. And do you have a question to ask yourself? Wait, wait, wait, hold on, Greg. What?

What did you do? Right. Invite him to the tailgate? Can you come to Milwaukee on August 6th? You have to pay your own way.

Okay. August 6th. Yeah, we're doing a tailgate at the brewery.

Okay, okay. I'll try to make it August 6th.

So what time does it start? The game's at 1. We're going to start tailgating around 10. Very good, very good. Right.

Tell Jim I said hi, and you get back to spinning the hits. All right, thanks, Greg. Miss you. I love you. Me too.

Love you. See you. Greg in Michigan.

Okay. Look at that. Never know what's going to happen in the verse. Um One okay, one other thing I wanted to mention, then I am going to go to bed. The soccer games.

A lot of controversy today. Did you see any of the first game? I did not. England. Scored right before half.

Because the Norway keeper punted it. The ball hit one of the T V cables. with the overhead camera. and it did change direction. And then it fell into an England defender's lap.

They quickly moved it up the field and scored basically. on that play.

Now, FIFA should be monitoring this. But their official Uh word was Before England's goal. In extra time against Norway. The sensor in the connected ball showed no peak. In the heartbeat of the ball when in the air, and therefore no evidence that the ball touched the overhead wire.

And change the movement of the ball.

So, as they were like tracking if anything interfered with the ball, nothing ever came up. And then they didn't really, the TV didn't really know anything until after the break. The Norwegians were screaming at least at the end of the half, but nothing could be done at that point.

So they feel like they got screwed, and essentially they did. And then in the second game, It was uh one one. Argentina and Switzerland. And then There was a foul called and a yellow card given. to the Argentina player.

When they reviewed it, they found out that no, the yellow card. Should have gone if applied to the other guy for essentially embellishing or what you'll call diving. But the embellishment was not that egregious. That it should have been a yellow card, but if you review a yellow card and take it away, Because you're reviewing if the other guy actually deserved one, you have to give it to that guy.

So he gets a yellow card, which is actually his second yellow card of the game.

So now they're playing with only 10 men, and Argentina puts two away in extra time.

So good games. And the top four teams ranked coming into this tournament are playing. 2-3 is France, Spain. And one four is Argentina, England. And that's going to be the bracket, but we got there with some controversy.

Yeah, it was a good I mean, I again, I don't No soccer, I can't explain. I really any yes, Bart, thank you for your great insight will do. great insight. I mean, that's crazy that it hit that wire though. And yeah, that was in Miami.

I uh did that and did that. Yeah. I Th that's very good insight. Very good. Do you want to address this comment from MC?

Did we talk Brewers yet? Ms. Harrison Woodruff hurt. Brewers probably in trouble. Another great regular season, though.

I mean Mizarovsky's fine, just the next day.

Now they may not start them right away out too, coming off the break I've heard.

Well, those start to go to Scoobel, so that's fine. Uh let's see. Mizorowski Harrison, he'll be fine. He's gonna miss one start. It's retroactive.

We got the all-star break. And Woodruff I wasn't even planning on having Woodruff for The stretcher on here. Yeah, well, we knew Woodruff was going to get hurt, but the reason you bring him back is. Give us as much as you can until it happens.

So he'll make a great pitching coach next year for the Brewers. But so I'm not worried at all. But yes, I would like them to get another starter. Uh not Scoobel, they're not gonna get him, but maybe someone like a Joe Ryan. I'm in for anything.

Just get a b uh they need a bullpen, another bullpen arm, and another starter. Possibly. And uh we'll be fine. We'll be fine.

Somehow, find a way to win tomorrow. But remember, like I said, Tomorrow I'll watch that uh Watch that Sunday line. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, okay. Sure.

11:15, it's on Peacock, right?

So you have to complain one more Peacock game before the break. And then if you want to watch the Home Run Derby, it's on Netflix, I believe. Yeah, Netflix, they got a lot of heavy lifting on Monday because they're airing Monday Night Raw and the home run derby at the same time. How can they do it? I don't even know.

I don't even know. We have a scheduled take me out to the Paul game Sunday night at eight. Depending on what kind of shape Horvot's in. After um Another concert.

So we'll see. Who is that? Yeah. That was my wife. Telling you to get off.

She just sent me a picture of something that Um Would be good for our kid for Christmas. All right. Well, we are halfway to Christmas. Yeah, a little Christmas in July. Oh, since it's late.

I have an idea. Uh For a for an episode. Oh, I thought you okay. Is this a like a tease or? No, I'm going to ask you if it's interesting.

Okay, all right.

So I always reference I like your shirt, rock the dome, what dome? Uh St. Louis Battlehawks. UFL? Oh yes the uh the Americans don't Yeah.

So I always reference this 2003 TV guide. Where it says going, going, gone, because favor's on the cover and he doesn't leave for another six years. I thought about taking an episode where I'll have a camera on the actual like articles. And some of the TV listings, because this is like a historical relic and document. And I thought, for however long it took me, whether it's an hour or eight hours.

I would just go through, read the TV guide. Give my thoughts. As like a live stream. That's where I'm at right now for ideas. I don't know, you do a live broadcast.

Maybe people, you know, if I say it's for charity, I bet I could squeeze some money out of people and then. Matt Miller my way out of it, but We'll see. I might do that. That's good stuff. Give me give me a show that was on or something.

For example, wouldn't it be fun to talk about everyone in Shopper's Showcase? Like gifted psychics. Yeah. Okay, I'll give you I'll give you one night. I'll give you the night of What week was this?

This is August 30th to September 5th.

Okay, so maybe the start of the NFL season too was in there? Yeah. Sunday to Saturday. Couch. Who does that guy?

All right, so. Sunday night in prime time. ABC had the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. And then A rerun of Elias. And uh or alias.

And the practice. CBS aired 60 Minutes Without a Trace, and then the movie Entrapment. Fox went with What's in the Fox box? Futurama, Simpsons, King of the Hill, Malcolm in the middle, a full one hour. WB had Gilmore girls charmed and charmed.

Looks like NBC had dateline NBC, American dreams, law and order, criminal intent. And then on ESPN that night was Giants at Diamondbacks. And on ESPN two. Was Louisville at Kentucky, both college football. FX ran a cops marathon.

Slam ball was on the Spike network. Oh, here's the other thing: Rock Talk, Death Cab rock tonight. I didn't go to death cab tonight. Because I wanted to watch the World Cup. I'm glad I did, but.

you only get to go to but there's only so many World Cups too, you know. Yeah. All right. Well, good to see you. Yeah, this was a surprise, so good to see you too.

Yeah, I just like to pop on on random s Saturday nights 'cause Yeah. What else you got going on? What else? With me. Same with it, same with you.

Just at home. And this is more. Time we get to, we went to talk tonight. True.

Now we're talking.

Now will the take me out to the Paul game be live or eight o'clock Okay. Should it happen? I'm a big fan of that, so I can't I will uh I'll put it I will pencil you into my calendar to watch well to to borrow the phrasing from willie and tausch They uh it is hashtag scheduled to appear. Is what they say. And I and I like that they do that because One of the things you learn in radio pretty quickly is.

There's nothing more embarrassing than advertising someone coming on and then they don't come on.

Now, sometimes you can be like Hey, fucking. Whoever. Beat writer with the Rams, 820. Don't miss it. Can't fucking miss it.

Beat Rider for the Rams, 820. And then it doesn't happen. You just do the segment and you just carry on. But if you're like, Hey, fucking. Pat Murphy's coming up at nine, and then he doesn't come up at nine, and then you're like.

You can't just ignore it. You should start doing that. Hey, I've got uh Christian theology coming on the pod tomorrow. scheduled to appear. Get everyone to listen, and then you're like, Well, Jimmy Kimmel already did that bit, and it's been going on for 20 years, but.

It's a good idea. All right, all right. It's a better idea than me reading the TV guide. Yeah, well. But who knows?

Maybe it's a niche. Maybe it's a niche thing. Maybe people want to know that. You know, Beavis and Butthead was on, or Divorce Court was on Fox 6 at 9:30. before that led into All new episodes of Classmates?

Or is that the Family Feud? No, that's classic. Ambush Makeover. I wonder who the host of Family Feud was back then. Richard Carr?

Yeah. Uh 2003 I would guess. I think we might have been in the weird Louis Anderson years. I'm going to look that up here before we go. Hey, it's called Um Thank you for the update on the Seattle Seahawks today.

Oh, you're welcome. You know, I was the first one to see it. Or you were. Oh, I just missed it, and I actually forgot he hosted. Louis Anderson was the host from 99 until 2002.

Richard Karn, Al Borland, did 2002 to 06. Then we got Mr. Peterman. John O'Hurley for four years, and then Steve Harvey's been doing it. He's been holding it down since 2010.
