It is Friday, August twenty first. Quick happy anniversary to my parents. Forty-four years. They've been married 45. Four years.
I'm 42.
So they didn't get a lot of time to. Enjoy each other's company. Until the kids started coming. On their 44th anniversary, they got to witness the Packers win a football game. Their first win since December 7th of last year.
Now we are coming at you live on a Friday. In a basement unknown. If I'm not in my basement and I'm going to do a podcast, it's going to be some in another basement. Um That's what we're doing here. Yeah, you're in your basement.
Yes, I am. That's my shtick. That's what's on my bio. I am doing these. From basements.
We have plans to tour basements. You think I'm just going to be a basement guy and not highlight yours? How about next summer? Summer basement tour. I'll come do pods in your basement.
I like that idea, and I need a lot of time to work on that.
So, next summer. is good. Thunder, feel the Thunder. It's his in-laws' anniversary and his mom's birthday, August 21. It's a big day.
Now, I will also tell you this, Mitch. What's nine months from right now? May nineteenth. Which is my birthday. My birthday is nine months from my parents' anniversary.
I did the math on that very early in life. And they told me they told me my math was correct. Um I was made in Houston, Texas. Never been.
Well, I have, but... I haven't been out of The uh It was not outside of I don't know how it works. My kid's at that age where he's like, How did I get in mommy's belly? Even I don't know, kid. Even I don't know.
Okay, Packers. I think the game's about over. We're starting early live due to network obligations. Trey Smack just hit another field goal. This one would have been.
Of uh What variety here? How long was this one? I'm not like Oh, 38 yards.
Okay.
So 38. He made one from 40. Three, he made another one from fifty-nine. He made another one from 51.
So Trey Smack has been doing very well. Um In this preseason, and that's good. I'm not going to. I'm not gonna But I am gonna. I just, there's just something, there's something I.
I'm trying to work on this shit, okay? I am trying to work on this truly. Because, like, I want the Packers to have a good kicker, and I know the last couple of years. They've had a really bad kicker, and part of the reason they did not beat the Bears was Brandon McManus. Even though there's a million other things.
Let's all crack a cold one tonight together. If you don't mind, a cold one, that's right. And by a cold one, I of course mean diet mountain dew, not the diet American dew. Which that was a nice one-month fun thing they did. I'm just not going to like.
I like that Trey Smack's doing well. Of course. But One, I want to see it in the regular season. It's nice in the preseason and For the kickers, I don't think. The Pressure is going to be like there's still pressure on him now.
He's a rookie kicker, he got drafted, he has to do well. There's been a history since Mason Crosby. left MC that We haven't really had a kicker. I mean, we had the whole Anders-Carlson experiment. Right.
Um And then, you know, McManus and Havre Jugaba. And that other guy. Didn't we try out some dude from Germany or something? I can't keep track.
So I'm excited that Trey Smack is doing well in the preseason. I'm gonna need to see that, right? I'm gonna need to see that in the regular. I'm just. I'm not like tomorrow.
When it's a normal day and we're all in real life and we see people, whether it's at a sporting event or your kids' game or the mall or the, Grocery store, you're a bar, or wherever you're going, the coffee shop. I'm not talking about Trey Smack. in real life. I'm not sure Having TraySmack conversations. in real life.
We'll obviously do it here. We're talking Packers. And this is a Format where we're talking Packers, but I'm not going to be like. Like, if I see somebody tomorrow wearing a green and gold shirt or a G-hat. I'm not going to be like, hey.
Smack that. Smack that ass, right? Smack that. I'm not going to do that. I'm happy he's doing well.
I'm totally fine with drafting kickers. You know, the way that things are going too is you might see. more kickers get drafted in the fifth, sixth, and seventh rounds. Because they're going to stay in the In the pros. There's this thing happening where.
College. I've only like tangenti seen this. But I have seen it, and I'm sure you've seen stories as well. Where Guys are getting cut. in the NFL.
And then going back to college like right now. Like they're joining college teams. And if it looks like they're not going to make the team. There's reports Andrew Brand had this tweet, or that he's heard. That people are asking.
Look, if you're going to cut me, just cut me now. I can get some eligibility left with the way that the NIL is going. NIL. We say that it encompasses more. Than just college kids getting money.
But when this happened, there were so many. Unknown things. that were going to happen that we couldn't even fathom. And guys actively participating in a training camp in preseason games. In the pros.
Then going back to college for their eligibility is not something we could have forecast. But it is happening. I think it's gross. I don't like it. It makes no sense.
We can't just Billy Madison college football, and if people go back, if they want to graduate, we can't be doing this. But we are.
So, kickers, I think, are not going to be in that category. And I'm saying this because I've always liked, even when they took Brett Conway in the third round. If you need a kicker, take a kicker.
Now you gotta like Okay, could we still if we're taking him in the third round, could we still get him in the fifth? Sebastian Janakowski goes in the first round. You could have got him in the second. But when you want a guy, I think it's okay to pay up. And get that guy if Trey Smack.
Is If he's good for five years. And then he sucks. Obviously, the pick was worth it. Obviously it was. I mean, what's the difference?
You're gonna, there's a kicker you want, draft him. Instead, you're waiting, someone else might take him. And then, if he's a free agent, you and 30 other teams are calling this guy, and he was the guy that you wanted. Instead of getting another defensive lineman, you're just going to cut anyway. I'm fine with getting a kicker.
I'm just I'm just not talking about Trey Smack outside of this. And I think a lot of Packer fans are. But as I've realized, I am not a normal Packer fan. And I think I do use that saying derogatorily. Like when I say I'm not the same as every Packer fan, I don't think that I'm different.
I think that I'm better. I do think I'm a better Packer fan than a lot of other fans. But I don't want to be. I want to be a dumb Packer fan. I want to be.
Local bar jello shot Packer fan. I want to go out and talk to everyone I know about Trey Smack for the next. Two weeks. I want to be super fucking pumped about a preseason win. Like it matters to me.
33 to 13, the final. Packers beating Denver. I want to be. a guy who You know. Loves Julius Peppers But I don't because he told Morgan Burnett to go down.
I just I I just, I'm not, I'm not. There's other people like me. I'm going to start to backtrack a little bit. I just don't How do I want to say this? Like, I love the Packers.
I do love the Packers. I love them. They mean a lot to me. But The way that I'm different. I am going to backtrack that.
I don't think I'm better.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I actually might be worse. Because the Packers, the people that I'm thinking of, these jello shots in preseason. Who am I to say that you're doing it wrong? Who am I to judge? Go talk about Trey Smack all weekend.
Who who am I to judge? You You're watching these games tonight. You're glad to have Packer football back because you love the Packers and they make you happy. That's the difference between us. I love the Packers and they piss me off.
They piss me off. They piss me off. They lose when they shunt. They keep coaches they shouldn't. They make stupid decisions.
Yeah. I love the Packers as much as anybody else. But you love them and enjoy them. I love them and fucking hate them. I mean I mean, I love the Packers.
I'll buy, I'm still that idiot. You go to a shop. You ever go to these like shops? And it's not a sports. Store.
But they have like a few packer items, and all of a sudden you walk out of there with a packer bottle opener you didn't need. 'Cause they're like, yeah, we we know the dumb husbands are gonna come and fucking Shop here, and they're gonna need some goddamn tumbler. Packers are plus 252 tonight, and you put 100 bones on those boys. That's a good night. Why is any preseason dog?
Every preseason line should be minus 100 and plus 115. How are their underdogs this big in the preseason? And why were the Packers such an underdog? Because they were playing against Sean Payton at home. Sean Payton in the third quarter, he's doing his little Sean Payton thing where he's like, oh, fuck you, Raph.
I don't like him, man. I do not like Sean Payton. I think he's performative. Basically, a lot of me comes down to: are you genuine? I like you.
Are you performative? You're an asshole. And I'm trying to straddle the line between the two. What happened to the pegboard? Different basement tonight.
Different basement. Different basement. Where am I? Who fucking cares? Does it matter?
I thought about pulling up that I'm on the Dan Shaney YouTube stream here. I wonder if I still have my old. Remember all the different backgrounds I used to use? Oh, I think I've. I think I've lost them.
I don't know where they went. I had the stuff you'd put behind me. I had that living room. Um I don't even know where to go for those. What do I go for that?
Banners, style? Yeah, I don't even know where that was, how I got there, what I'm doing. Big Bubs says LaFleur is trash. Yeah. I don't like 'em.
You're well aware of that. All right, so let's tell you what happened tonight and what we need to know about this preseason game, in which they did win. A lot of you had enjoyed it. Um I mean, I enjoyed it. We were watching the game tonight, but I was also watching Punk and Kevin Owens.
SmackDown took top priority for that first hour. And then I didn't like how that match ended. But SmackDown takes priority on Friday nights in the Winkler House.
Okay.
So I caught The first touchdown. Um On my laptop, but I still caught it. And Jordan Love looked good, and also good play. That halfback angle pass. Lloyd went out to the left.
Did a little juke. On uh Linebacker and then scored. Going up against a linebacker, good recipe. The Broncos did it the next drive when Edge Cooper Had to play uh man-to-man coverage and he was in chase mode. Which was the But It goes.
Touchdown of the night. 33 theme, the final. Packers very, very good night. You want to talk about that for two. Touched on a little bit just to talk about the love aspect of it.
Five for seven, 56 yards, and a touchdown. Tyra they got in four for eight, seventeen yards, also at a touchdown. And last week, after the preseason game, I said. Are we talking about Jordan loves still in these preseason games. Are we talking about?
How did he look? Because we shouldn't anymore. Jordan Love makes $55 million to play quarterback, and he's damn good at it.
Now It did look like right away. The Denver receiver could have, or the defender, could have jumped on a pass that was intended for Christian Watson. And Watson, okay, he didn't catch that one. All right. And then Watson catches one and fumbles, but apparently he didn't.
Interesting angle, but they gave the ball back. to Green Bay. Watson To me, this is make or break for him. He's been given all these opportunities, and there's been a lot of like. things that have happened.
Oh, stop, start, stop, start. He's hurt. Stop, start, stop, start. He gets a big contract. Stop, start, stop, start.
It's just that he hasn't. The momentum there. And I still think his career is a lot different if he doesn't drop the first pass that he got from Rodgers. uh in uh Minnesota Right. He's been here for a while, Christian Watson.
This has to be the year. Where it all comes together for him. He has to be our number one receiver.
Now, Reed's good, of course. Golden, we expect a lot of, but you moved on from Dubs. It was weird seeing another guy wear 87 again. And then you moved on from Wicks, and I'm seeing the same video you guys are seeing out of Philadelphia, where in training camp, at least, he looks good.
So they traded the full picture. to get a few guys. And they could really focus on these guys, but they're going to need to step up then. Watson can't just be like. I was going to say James Jones, but Jones is good.
He led that receiver. You know, he led. The league and receiving touchdowns one year, he's got to be. I mean, he's got to be a bona fide number one. I know that's a stupid played-out who's the number one, who's number two, but Watson's been given all these opportunities and he's got to step up.
I don't want to see Jordan Love throwing perfect balls to Christian Watson that he's not coming down with. And I think love should put the pressure on him. Like, give Watson a couple of passes. If he ain't catching him, don't look his way. Make a mediva.
You know, go over to the tight ends, go over to Golden some more. Go over to read some more. Watson, we got all these guys. I don't know. I don't want to be like, oh, Wix, we shouldn't have traded him, but.
He is looking good in the few. Videos that were posted designed to make them look good from Eagles. Training camp.
So I like the receiver core. I do, but Watson. The way that I think a lot of people were on Chris Middleton, like Chris Middleton could do. Very good, and you'd still shit on them. Right.
I feel like I was always I I was What are you doing? Middleton's great. But I feel like a lot of people give Watson a lot more leash than I'm giving him. And again, I'm just some guy. As Bobby says, doing a late night post-game.
In a root cellar with a chair from 1970 with the complimentary Ottoman.
Okay.
See, you got a little basement. We're in a basement. We're in a basement. We're in a basement. We're in a basement.
Cheers. Love is fine, says Big Bubs. Love is more than fine, is my point. I shouldn't have even brought him up. Because last week we were watching the game, and somebody goes to me, How's love look?
We shouldn't be talking about that. Shouldn't be talking about that at all. If you want to join, if you're live, I do have the links up. I got some voicemails I'm going to play before. I wrap things up here.
Um, but still got plenty of time to talk Packers. That's the thing with Smack. Yeah, Bobby's right. He is drilling these all down the center.
So it's not just that he's making them. They look really good. I'm just I'm just a piece of shit that has to be like, oh, okay, he's good, but he's not that good.
Well, what's it matter? In fact, Tim, if you could edit out every... thing I've done in post. Actually, Tim probably won't do that. I was supposed to be at some golf auditing thing with him this weekend.
And I didn't fail. I never committed. But I gave him like a oh yeah, I'll totally be down. As long as I don't go out of town that weekend, which then I did. I mean, my in-laws.
I don't know. I'm not trying to be secretive. Might hit up a Timber Rattlers game this weekend. I don't know yet. I don't know if we'll have enough time.

So the wide receiver thing. I just, they need to step up. Your best receiver of the night was Will Shepard, six for 47 and a touchdown. He had that toe-tapper, Isaiah Nayer. Again, I think he is somebody.
Is he going to make the roster? And is he going to get opportunities? Like you fall in love with these guys. I think I mentioned this last week. Uh Lambert Smith.
From The Chargers. I think he's really good. But There's guys in front of him and then Even if he gets an opportunity with injuries. You're still like the three or the four. It's hard for those guys.
Another guy that I was really fond of, Ryan Flournoy from Dallas. I've been on his watch for a few years with Dynasty Leagues. Finally, he's getting some run. But he's still behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. And uh whatever version of Brandon Cooks or Gabe Davis or You know, one of those kinds of guys the Cowboys always seem to have.
As there three. Like, um Oh god, who's the other guy I'm thinking of? Like a Demarcus Robinson, just one of those kind of guys. They just always have that guy. You know, I didn't even know this.
MVS is there. Jesus. When did it when did MBS go to the? What is a Marcos Valdez Scantling was on the Packers for three years, then the Chiefs for two, then the Bills and the Saints in one year, then the Seahawks practice squad, then the Niners and the Steelers, and now he's with the Cowboys. How long is this guy going to be milking this?
He's 31 years old. I was thinking about that too in this game in the third quarter and fourth quarter with some of these guys that are out there. It's like. What if this doesn't work? What do you do next?
These rosters are at 90. They're cutting them down to 53. If that's 40 guys on 32 teams, that's 1,200 players out of work.
So what do you do? You wait, you do some tryouts on different Tuesdays throughout the year, you wait for the UFL. The UFL Should be during the NFL, but like in the middle of the week.
Now, I know you have Maxion in the middle of the week, but that's really only in October. The UFL, there should be. Because then you can send guys up and down. Wouldn't that make a little more sense? I also think college football should be moved to the spring.
Which I'm not 100% on that take, but I am workshopping being there. It's just a lot of football. And now the NFL, the NFL is already trying to take away the NBA's days. You shouldn't have NFL football week 16 games on the same. Time, the same time.
As a As college football playoffs. You shouldn't have that. Mr. Positive in the House, Greg. Always a pleasure.
He must have already got his call into Westwood if he's bouncing over here. Red Gregg or no? Not yet tonight? Oh, their their show starts a little later. Than mine did.
Um Mm-hmm. Regarding the running backs. Chris Brooks got some run. Who else got in there? Jaden Nixon scored a touchdown late.
Sky more, I think there's a I think there Is a roster spot for him. He just had one six-yard rush and one seven-yard catch, but. I think there's a roster spot for him. I'm rooting for him to make it. I would like to see.
A gadget guy. I just don't know if he's as good. As Like Who do we have that one year? Tyler Irvin? Last year, didn't we sign somebody and then got oh, Micole Hardman?
These guys are gadget guys, but... They're not good enough where the gadget is worth taking over a spot of. A Chris Brooks. Or a Marshawn Lloyd.
Now, Marshawn Lloyd had a touchdown, and that was on the reception. But Marshawn Lloyd, here's my concern with Marshawn Lloyd. And I could be totally off on this assessment. But this is just what I'm feeling. From watching him run.
and other experience watching other runners. I'm feeling DeAndre Swift here. And I'm not complimenting Marshawn Lloyd. When I say DeAndre Swift, I mean like. DeAndre Swift Bears.
Where He's got all the talent. And he's DeAndre Swift. But then when you watch him run. It's like he's working really hard. Maybe A.J.
Dillon was this way too. Maybe that's a better comp. But I still think Marshawn can like. Like DeAndre Swift did a lot of games where he was. He had 120.
total yards, but 89 of them come on one play. And then thirty one of them come on the other thirty one carries he had. I don't know that Marshawn The pass, it was nice because he had open space and he just had to juke a linebacker. And we haven't seen enough of him to know. But it does feel like Marshawn Lynch is Or Marshawn Lloyd.
I hope I didn't say lynch a few other times. It's late. Marshawn Lloyd is um I just I'm not I'm not confident he's going to have a nice. Yeah, Dylan. It just seems like it's a lot of work for him just to get back to the line of scrimmage.
is what I feel like there. We are brought to you by Happy Place M. Promo code is Bart. 25% off each and every order. I'm going to have some gummies after this to help myself.
Sleep. I'm in a nice pattern right now where I get what I need done for the day. Either do some pods or some. Podcast Administrative work. That's a fun thing to say.
And then I take a couple gummies and either watch Marvel or play games on my phone. I'm playing one right now called Box Jam. where you have to like I'm just trying to get to level 100, but you got to like. You gotta like pick all these stupid things. I don't know.
I got to pick what first, the keyboards and the backpacks. And it's really hard to see. I don't know. My wife drove today and so I'm I was on my phone most of the drive. Just playing stupid fucking games.
I was going to do a Packers, DraftKings, fantasy. I wouldn't have played the right guys. I wasn't going to play Trey Smack. Yeah, you almost got to play him captain, Trey Smack. I would have played Love.
I thought he might get a touchdown early, but. And then just the one series, but you get these, you try to play preseason draft kings, your starting quarterback gets one touchdown. And then the other guy.
Well, what was Kyle McCord tonight? He was. 12 for 19, 118 yards, no, no touchdowns.
So Jordan Love plays. 25% of the time. I think McCord, too. McCord, now that I bring him up, I don't think he's not nothing. I don't think he's not nothing.
Bobby says, Should I be using THC if I'm in the job market?
Well I've not had to do a drug test. For any job I've ever had, I don't think. Maybe. I didn't take a drug test for radio, certainly, and I don't think I took one for TV. Also, if they're like, there's THC in your system.
I'll say. Yeah. I know. Because My job. is a podcast.
And I promote Happy Place Hemp. And I use the product. to give the testimonial. For why others should use the product. that I'm promoting.
with the promo code BART. 25% off. Happy PlaceHemp.com.
So if you're going to get a little Red dot because you didn't like what was in my P. You could make your decision based on that, or if you want to say, Hey, this guy loved his product so much. that he was advertising That he continued to take it knowing we'd be testing. What will I do for your brand? If that's what I'll do for mine.
Also, I'm not applying for jobs. I'm still waiting for my phone to ring. And it doesn't. It actually does ring. When I get voicemails, I've got some more to say on this Packers preseason game.
But I've been talking for a half hour and Maybe we could use some other voices in there. Do people like the voicemails? I like the voicemails. Do people like the voicemails? I like the voicemails.
So let's play some. I got a lot. Oh shit. Uh I don't know, it looks like I got I got a couple. I actually thought I had more than this.
Um I don't know if I play that one. Did I play that one? I don't know if I played this one. I'll play this one. I don't know if I play.
Tim, you can edit this part. All right, I don't think I played This one. This is from Mark. No, I played that one. All right, this is from David in Buffalo.
He's usually good for one. Hey Mark, what's going on? This is David from Buffalo. I'm got to jump in here with a couple thoughts. First off, congrats on getting your Name picked up there.
I think Awful announcing and Yahoo Sports had your uh WWE case on there, that was great. Um I One quick wrestling tag, I think Roman Reigns, the broadline, work better as villains. I think that's going to be a great storyline. with him and uh so called and LA Knight and those those younger guys are These lesser name guys you need to get all of them, at least don't be in the main event. I think ultimately what it's going to lead to is Roman doing what he did, you know, with some different people.
And it'll be Roman like Oba Semi will have to take on the bloodline to win the championship at WrestleMania. Hopefully, he wins. Um 'cause I I think the bl this has to be the last Version of the bloodline. I mean, we can't get. money that back as as much as we have.
All right, that's enough wrestling, even for me.
Sorry, David. Austin's joining us. Hey, buddy. Bart, how are you today? What is that fucking chair dude?
That is fucking slick. What do you mean? I mean, the plaid, fucking love it. It's just a chair. Yeah, it's nice.
It's a big chair. It's like you could cuddle in this. I mean, that's something. Looks like some big, big Bill Michaels would be able to fit in. Should I really enjoy the chair?
No. Um I'll enjoy the chair. God, that is a nice fucking chair. You know, I'm mo, all right, I don't need to talk about me.
So Okay, so Packers I don't know. Don't give a fuck. Excuse the language. Um About the preseason, but Well, that kind of looked alright. I kind of look all right.
Did I take you off guard here? Yeah, big time. Do you have something to say? I did, and you completely threw me off. I've never seen something like this before.
It's a fucking couch chair. What's the big deal with this chair? I don't know. It looks like Well, people have been on the Dan Shaney YouTube stream talking about this. Fucking chair, it's just a chair.
I've never seen something like that in my entire life.
Well, look, there's really nowhere else to sit around here, okay? Also, Bard, I oh my god, Jesus Christ, you could put a Carl's place. Golf civilization. I could put a golf civil citizen if you asked me. It looks like it would fit.
I could put a golf semi down here. That could be a good Christmas present for the fam. Yeah, it looks a good fit down there. Um Okay, so I I am more here. To talk brewers, I get we're talking Packers.
Um However, I just played a voicemail about wrestling that I realized was from two weeks ago. David just called me tonight. I should probably. Play that. F wrestling, which I've been trying to watch, and they're just.
I just I can't get back into it. I'll I'll I'll watch the pay-per-views. I I'll watch the pay-per-views. Um So the Packers The one thing that I really liked, who is the kid? With the kick return.
For the Packers? Oh, that would have been Pierre Strong.
Okay, and then who's our special themes coach? That's that one guy who I keep forgetting his name. I know, I can't recall it either. Because I don't see Cam Accord. Kevin Corey.
I don't know. I talked earlier about Trey Smack, how we're all excited that he's doing well, but I'm just not like. Yeah. I said this earlier. This is what I said earlier.
I love the Packers. Yep. But they piss me off. Fuck yeah, brother. And I don't like.

Why we put this What was that? Literally the last Super Bowl they won was When I was 20 years old. And who was the special teams coach then? And They only one. I mean, Clay Matthews, that was the coolest.
That'll always be the coolest thing. Yeah. I don't know, like what are we doing? Man in the flurry socks Mike McCarthy had one good year. Uh, he had a good defense for a year.
I don't, I don't know. Do you know? Do you know? Okay, I have two questions. Yeah, yeah, hit me.
One, do you know you're on a stream right now? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Two. Are you moving, dude? Yeah.

Well, I'm gonna move upstairs. Just because I just see boxes back there where posters used to be. It's all everything. They all went to it. Dude, I could tell you the story.
I don't think your listeners want to hear it. But I could tell the story. Mm-hmm. Is it bad? Nah, it's it's funny as fuck, actually.
Can you tell it in forty-five seconds? Sure. Um, Some dude bought this house. And I live in a fucking basement. level apartment and basements fucking rock.
And, but the foundation is like collapsing in, so he's got to fix it.
So I gotta move. It's a seven-house unit, so I have to move to a different one in it. I wanted to move to level three. The fucking house was gutted. I was like, it's not fucking livable.
God damn the fucks. I'm drunk.
Sorry. And I went to go live. Into a different place on Locust Street, and he's like, Oh, no, no, no, no, no, I'll knock the price down. And so I'm going to live one year up. For cheaper.
I don't know. So This is what it is. No, I'm live. No, I am. Actively drinking and don't Bobby claims you can't get drunk off Michelob Light.
Well, it's it's uh natural light. Thank you very much. Dusty says you're the best. Thanks, Dusty. And Big Bubs says, are you in a halfway house?
Almost. Yeah, almost. Anyway, one I think Austin's halfway to a six BAC. Oh dude, I could bring my breathalyzer out and we can see where we're really at. If you are Actually the last time when I went to Denver.
Um One of the guys there had a breathalyzer and we kept doing it. And You blow it, and it'd be like 0.5, and you're like, okay, I drank more than this. And then you blow it like a minute later, and it says, Two one. Michael. This isn't reliable.
Oh no, you gotta you gotta recalibrate it. I think the cops were giving them out so that you would blow a 0.7 and then you'd get in the car and you're actually a 2-1 and they could bag you. Yeah, sounds about right. I trust it. Speaking of don't trust, who's putting these data center commercials on my fucking TV?
Oh my God. First of all, who wants the data centers, Bart? Who's asking for this? Your boy Crowley seems to be. And who's asking for fucking Matt LaFleur?
To still be the fucking head coach and get an extension. Not me. I I I went on when you Went and did the podcast. 2022 I opt in with Sam double underscore schmidz. And I said, LaFleur.
Then stinks. He's not the guy. He's not. Yeah, he's not. But he's here.
Yeah, and we're stuck with them until... Until what? What do you think it would take? Because I'm gonna, after this question, I'm gonna eat my pizza. And what'd you get it from?
Oh, I made it at home, brother. What kind? Um it is from Gaiman's On Highway Sixty and Kettle Moraine Road. Yeah. I'll bring you on sometime, maybe.
Um So what does it take? For Matt LaFleur to actually get criticism. That's what I want to know. And I will hang up. And I will.
Who's here? Who is this? I will hang, Bart, I gotta hang up. and before the pizza burns. What does it take for MatlaFleur from average Packer fans to actually get criticism?
What can he not achieve? Because he has been to how many championships? Are you looking at this hand? Yeah, I see it. What is this?
This has been going on for 15 minutes on my screen. Who are you? All right, I love you, Bart. You guys are great. And even You know, waving guy.
All right, I gotta get the pizza out. I'll be watching on the stream. All right, okay, Austin. All right, bye. You wanna talk?
No Tam? I didn't know that was you. How did you know? I could tell by your voice. Hello, Bart.
So You joined 20 minutes ago, didn't tell me. You kicked me out too.
Well, because it was just my screen just had a f- Fucking hand on it. Test in you, Lord.
Sometimes people jump in the StreamYard to watch it on StreamYard, but then I see that the whole time and it bugs the shit out of me. Watch it on Twitter, Facebook, or YouTube. You don't come into StreamYard just to watch. And I thought you were doing that. Oh, I'm just testing you tonight, all right?
Then it said the Brewers did win. Does Miz only pitch on Fridays or what?
Well, that's his day. It was, however, it was on five, like regular rest for once, so.
Well, every time Miz is pitching, he's in that fucking jersey. That's... That's why uh he was off today. He didn't pitch well at all, so. Yeah, you did.
I'm j I'm kinda joking. Like, did you hear Murphy after the game? And did you hear me? I'm not. I love Pat Murphy, but I'm not living on the highs and lows of Pat Murphy after the game.
He's like, Comedy Night. I'm not, I'm not. There's so many things that I just don't have time for. Trey Smack. Conversation in real life.
Yes, right. That's all I care about. Pat Murphy's jokes in the press. Fucking I'm out I am out. of the listen to press conference era of my life.
And I don't want to go back. Although I did want to hear what LaFleur said, because it looked like Brandon Cissé was hurt. Yeah, he precautionary. That's why he didn't return. All right, I can rep, I can tell you that in about five seconds.
All right. Is that for real? Yeah, it was precautionary. We'll we'll know more tomorrow.
Okay.
Because usually you can tell with LaFleur if If they're hurt, he he. Correct. Yes, this it sounded like it was just precautionary.
Okay.
Matt Schneidman tweets: sounds like Brandon Cece not re-entering. after his injury was precautionary. Did I not just say that? But then Michael Gross is tweeting here. No questions asked to Matt LaFleur about the status of Brandon Cecil.
No one asked him? Did he come up and say it's precautionary? Probably. Yeah. Then that's what.
No, I asked him. Why keep asking if that's what all you're gonna get? If every reporter that flew to Denver. is going to take a picture. Of Brandon Cecil on the bike.
And say interesting development. He's out early. And then not ask a question about it after the game. Why did you go? Oh boy.
Sorry. Watching a game. Yeah, why why why get on here and contribute?
Sorry, I was watching a baseball game that's a little more important than a meaningless preseason game. The Cubs Oh, they're out in LA. No, they're out in Seattle. Oh, they go to LA soon, don't they? No.
I don't know where you're getting LA from. I don't know. Um I'm sorry I'm not gonna be at your thing. You do soft. Anywho, it was precautionary, and by the way.
How many of those reporters were actually out there or just took the picture from their TV on the bike? A lot of these reporters don't go to the preseason game. I saw someone tweet when it's Cubs LA, I root for the meteorite. Sure. I mean But you're right, they're going to Arizona now.
I root for the Dodgers actually when they're. See, and I'm not doing that either. I'm not watching, I'm not fucking scoreboard watching the Cubs right now. Our magic number is below 30, so now it's time to start scoreboard. No, it's not.
It's not scoreboard watching, you do in chase mode.
So we just sit there and Great. Were there these many games? I just watched the Brewers. Win a game Today Mm-hmm. And so now I'm going to spend my night watching the Cubs?
I'm not, I did not spend my entire night watching the Cubs. No, I know, but that's why I don't, I don't, if the Brewers won, they did their job. They did their job. No, I don't care about Kevin says I'm not a fan of anything. I.
It's not that I'm not a fan of anything. That is an appropriate comment for the way I've been talking tonight. I just I don't have the bandwidth anymore. for things that bother me. What do you mean, bother you?
Does watching the Cubs bother you? Does watching a. a uh a meaningless preseason game.
Okay.
Well, no, I just I don't. That couch, by the way. It's a chair. It's a chair. It's a chair, I see.
My whole belly. When you were closer, it looked like a couch. I gotta fit my fat ass. That's like Yeah, never mind. I can say that.
Um I would like to answer another question that hasn't been asked. I wear my Into the Winklerverse hats on my podcast. But not like in real life either. You don't wear it in public or anything like that? I don't go to Metro Market and wear my fucking Winkler verse hat.
Pick up Little Bart from school in your Winkler verse hat or you don't go work out in your Winkler verse hat, like turn it around and work out? Yeah. Oh, okay. You don't wear it when you go for your walks? When you you know, 'cause when I I ruin hats on my walks 'cause I sweat.

You did? Oh, yeah. You look under the underneath, and it's pretty cool. I was going to get a new hat yesterday when I went, but I didn't. Oh, I have a public service announcement for people that are interested.
In um Like if you're a card collector. If you're a card collector, Go to Miller Park. Why? My kid really wanted cards yesterday. Team Star?
Oh. Guest relations? No, not that. The team store The main team store. Had The tops 2026 But only the box.
And that was like 80 bucks.
So I wasn't going to buy that for my kid. And I thought, okay, this box is probably 50. But It's marked up 'cause you're at the stadium. Correct. But then We eventually made our way over.
to the team store that you can go in at any point, any time that's always open. Yeah. By the liney thing. Isn't that the main team star? No.
Yeah, the main that's the main team starter. The main team stores at home plate.
Okay, no, the main team stores in right field. That is interesting because that's the one that's open. That's yeah, that's the one that's always open. That is the main team store. That's the big one.
That has everything that's sold at all these other little team stores around the park. Yes. Yeah. Yes. I ag I agree I know where it's the one that you can go to.
at any time. Correct. But it's not the biggest. Yes, it is. The one in left field?
Is bigger than the one by home plate? Yes, by far. That yes. Yeah. Yeah.
You're crazy. Anyway. This is a great discussion we can continue to have. I'll long form it with Paul, maybe. Um They had packs of Tops cards.
And it's the 14 cards in a pack. Guess how much they were selling them for? God, I um twenty-five dollars. You won't even believe it when I tell you. Don't tell me a dollar.
$3.99. That same pack at Target goes for nine bucks.
So it's cheaper. It's the cheapest you're going to find in any 26 top cards in all of Milwaukee. How many cards in a pack? 14. That's not bad.
14 cards.
So like. Back in the day, packs of cards were like two or three bucks. For 10 cards. This is 90s pricing. This has to be a mistake.
Like, I think it meant to say $13.99. And you just forgot. I mean, did you how many did you buy? I bought five packs for fifteen bucks.
Well, maybe you got them on a mistake or something. Yeah. Kevin says to me, you're not a sports guy, you're a guy who covers sports. Oh. Someone disagreed, but then he said, if you don't know who the Cubs are playing.
And you follow the Brewers or MLB on a regular basis, you're not a sports fan. Um No, I think this is, I'd like to say a little more on that if I can. The the difference is Because I remember Being in lacrosse. Maybe like Two thousand and seven? Back when the twins were really good.
Yeah. I well, is it l I hear lacrosse Like Some of its twins territory? La Crosse La Crosse. No, La Crosse is Wisconsin. Sure, it's Wisconsin, but...
But no, but it's not like Kenosha. No. But But I'll tell you, and especially at college. When I was there in college, there was a year, I think. The Twins, Vikings and Wild all made the playoffs.
And so like I remember this one girl Her name was Just call her. See ya. Mary. Oh now I don't even remember her name. But she she Did not like me.
Ivana. Melania. But she was Laura. Yeah. Ivan.
Fuck. I really forgot her name. Melania. Isn't that crazy? She was a part of my everyday life for four years.
I forgot her name. Laura. But, but, but she would always be like. The one to oh, she's in a wild jersey now. I even heard you talk about the wild.
Your whole life.
Okay.
And you know what is unfair is The twins Jersey shirts. For whatever reason with the twins. It didn't matter what you thought somebody was on the attractive scale. If they were wearing a Joe Mauer shersey, they were a 10. They just, I mean, there's something about.
A twin shersey. On these girls. I don't know what it was. I could have just been a horny college kid. I think her name was Nikki.
It wasn't though. Anyway, Why don't I know who the Cubs are playing? Because So, okay, back in 2007. The Brewers did not make the playoffs that year, but I was scoreboard watching. in like August The Giants were a team I was watching because the Brewers were like trying to come up to them.
I'm not scoreboard watching now and not worrying about the Cubs now or who they're playing. Because We're not in chase mode. Yeah, but we're in Um win mod like let's try and we won today So we won today.
So I don't I don't bother myself with how the Cubs did because we won. Separation mode, like let's Let's add as many games as we can between now and when we play them so that, oh, I don't know, if we do get swept, there's some wiggle room. Where All right, sure, we can afford to get swept and still have a little bit of a lead. When the brewers are no longer in first place, I'll find out about it.
Okay.
I am just trying to I have 24 hours in a day as anybody. I'm just trying to maximize my twenty four hours. Are you looking forward to the game Sunday night? And right now, two to three of those hours a day are playing WWE 2K twenty six with my kid. There you go.

Corey says main team store is left field. Thank you. Corey Elsa says, doesn't matter how much it costs. You're lighting money on fire, ripping packs.
Alright, there we go. The Cubs are gonna g uh the Mariners are gonna get out of it. Yeah, I got we pulled an Andre Dawson that I put on eBay for 50 bucks, it's autographed. Did you sign up? And it went for fifty?
Yeah, I got two things on eBay right now. You wanna see? Sure. Why not? We're at this point in the night.

He's great. Tell Barney, say hi.
Alright. All right, here's what we got on eBay right now. We got. Andre Dawson tops two. Oh, it's not 1991.
Oh yeah. It's a reprint of 91. There's only 50 of these autographed. I put it on for 23 bucks. I got four watchers already.
How many bids? Any bids? No. No, but I got a one bid on this. What is Padre's bag that I got when I went to the game this year?
Oh, yeah, you did go out to San Diego. Look at that logo. See, that's a good San Diego Padres logo. That old logo. Yeah, so this, I'll show you this logo.
I wanted. This 1992 to 98 logo, yeah, the baseball club. Yep, so. I was dead set on buying a hat with that logo on it. And I went to all the Padres team stores, even the main one.
Not a single one. It was all the other shit. All the new stuff. And they're and they're uh their uh wild color of uh Whatever. Hey, did you see that Packer leak today about the jerseys and the like all gold is that I thought they were going blackout.
They Teased it, and then somebody did a mock-up of what an all-gold jersey would look like.
Okay, so that was not a leak. I don't think that was a leak, but. I'm scared for what these jerseys are going to look like.
Okay, so then let's go back. few weeks ago. Didn't they tease something about a black out? Like If you go back and look on their Twitter, like rivalries versus Bears coming up.
So are they like is this gonna be like their throwback then? I don't know. Remember? Remember when they made There was a time where everyone wanted these black jerseys, and so they made a black fav one. Yeah.
Yeah. And a bunch of people bought it, and I just thought they looked so ugly. They were very ugly. Like they were black and then had some yellow. Like, why would anyone ever buy something that fucking ugly?
Again, the only time you wear it is right now. No, it's a sick hat, though, bro. It is. I like it. I actually I actually did buy a sweatshirt.
You did? Yep. I would have got you one. He got hit in the head.
Sorry. Sorry. Don't watch the Mariners. Don't watch the Cubs. I watch a lot of baseball.
I watched some fucking, I was watching Rangers Yankees yesterday. Here. Here you go. That's what I think. I gotta dance for like a monkey now.
Who's who's Bonnie? Bonnie I got some spam call. I don't know what her number was. You've reached our loan specialist. This call is for those interested in reviewing a hardship personal loan offer.
Good. I'm getting more. Spam text messages than ever. Oh, I got one for uh uh they called me Francie. Francie, it's time to vote.
I got one where a guy calls me Jared with two R's. J-E-R-R-O-D. I got one text today. Do you get? I get a lot of them that are like, apply to this job.
I got one, like we have a job for you with Amazon. And you can earn up to $2,000 if you work 15 hours.
Something like that. Yeah. Then I get a lot of these. This is from a 416 number. All it says is.
How about a light lunch tomorrow? Maybe something fresh. What am I supposed to do with that? Oh, was that last Thursday night? What was last Thursday?
During the state fair? No, I'm trying to call the spam number I called. I don't think they'll allow you. Oh no, I was calling back.
So, if the 21st was a, then it was the 14th, so it was the 13th. Maybe this is it? What's going on, Bart? Who is this? This is Matthew in Chicago.
What you doing call me? Oh, this is you're calling me? No, did I call you? No, you left me a voicemail once, right? Yeah.
Yeah, I was looking for a phone number. Um From a spam call I was calling back and I thought it was this one, but It wasn't. Oh, this is Matthew. I played your voicemail last week. I think it's a good idea.
Well I'm doing a podcast right now. I'm I'm live right now.
Okay, you good, you good? Everything cool? Yeah, you got anything you want to say? Not too much, man. Realistically, how the Bears are gonna do this season?
Forgot tomorrow versus Cincinnati. How do you think the Bears are gonna fare this season? I think they're gonna be good, Barb. For real, though. They might actually be good.
No, I so I was talking with my mother-in-law about this because Uh Sh they're from Chicago. Right. And she's become a Packer fan. They've lived here long enough, but. Oh, no.
Oh, no. But two of her kids are still Bears fans and I talk to my in-laws and they're always like Like, you guys think Caleb Williams is so much better than Jordan Love. I don't get it.
Well, I mean, that's just because, you know, a lot of Bears fans got a lot of trauma from Rogers and Farp.
So they probably just say that, you know, just to get under your skin a little bit. But you keeping a buck with me, you keeping 100. I think they both playmakers, Bar. You know that. They both playmakers.
And if they, any given Sunday, they could, any given Sunday, they could, you know. They can go off, but man, I don't know. They're saying that. They're saying that Ben Johnson hasn't seen his kids. He's been at the practice facility 24 hours.
He's sleeping there. I mean, If they're talking that talk like that, I mean... And they're really saying, Bart, that the Bears are going to be good, good.
Now, I don't expect the Packers to ever be bad. You know, I was born in 92, but. The Bears might be something decent this year. I don't know about the Lions or the Vikings, but Packers are always our. You know, status quo, we like to, you know, put ourselves on the, on the, on the bar that you guys are on, but.
Man, I expect a good game for the early season. I think you guys come here on Christmas. That's gonna be a a good game. I don't like the Bears' uniforms for that rivalry game, Bart, because they're doing the all-white. They're doing the white garment.
I don't like that either. I don't like the yeah, they they copying off y'all with the blizzard package or whatever it's called. Hey, what are you doing at midnight on a Friday that you're just like? You sound like you're wide awake. No, to be honest, I just got home from my cousin's high school football game.
They were an hour and a half away in Batavia. It's like a far, far, far west suburb of Chicago.
So I literally just got home. I just heated up some chicken Alfredo and the microwave, and I'm about to. Crash the couch like you do. And then I and then I called you, and you're probably like, What the fuck? I'm like, What the hell is he doing calling me right now?
What the hell? I thought he was trying to holler at me.
Well, I am, kind of. Hey, man, no problem. Talk back anytime. I'm not the spammer, though. No, I know.
All right. Yeah. You call me any time too. All right, Bar, have a good one, Papa. See you, buddy.
All right, so that was the wrong number.
Okay.
Oh, that's good shit. Um Two outs. Runners on first and third. I don't Bobby, I don't have Bonnie's number anymore. Who is Bonnie?
Bonnie, it was someone that called me. It was like, you have won a cruise, but it was an AI. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I kept calling the number back and I kept asking for Bonnie and it would be a guy.
So for So that guy's called my voicemail.
So when you call my voicemail, The 402-915-2278, it goes to my phone. And I think It must have shown the 402 number that he knows as me because. I mean, he knew it was me right away. I don't know. Uh the brewers are now up six games in the end.
And also sixty. Sky. See, why am I watching the Cubs on a fucking Friday night at 11:30? If the difference is six or five? Because I'm telling you, we are too good to care.
You're not watching them. I'm watching them. I have nothing to do other than to call in to talk to you, and the Cubs just lost, and the Brewers gained a game. All right. I might actually have a voicemail from Matthew.
I'm gonna look.
So, what's with this golf audience tomorrow? Yeah, yeah, why are you still in Milwaukee? Hmm? I'm not. You're in Milwaukee right now.
Well, I'm not. Oh, you're not? I thought that was your basement. I'd have to pegboard if it was my basement.
Okay.
Well, I didn't know. Maybe you moved. moved around or something. I don't know. Fuck.
Tim, if I had this chair. We'd be on this chair every fucking night. I well, I would say I'm coming over. but you don't allow me in your house. Q's been in my house.
You can come in my house.
Well You know who stopped by my house the other day? LaCroix Butler. Shut up. Yeah. For what?
It's Cohn's bachelor party, so he's picking up some koozies. Wait, when's his bachelor party? Right now. For today? Yeah.
Why weren't we invited? I don't know. Where is it? I crazy. I'm crashing this thing.
It's up north somewhere. Ah. All right, here's a voicemail from Painter Town. Or no, teacher Tom School's back for him, I think. Oh, yeah.
Here's a voicemail. Hey, teacher Tom here. And whenever I hear somebody say that was not on my bingo card, It makes me think of both. And kind of on the same page of being annoyed when people say that. I thought it was clever when it was when that thing first started but now People say it way too much and it's not But my question.
What is on both bingo codes? We're going to 2026. Green Bay Panthers City, then Not the things that are not, but what is on his bingo code. Have a good one. Uh seven seeds.
Nine wins. Yeah, I think they got eleven in 'em. Still probably like a six. With 11. I am surprised that not on my bingo card.
has had staying power. It's been multiple years now. Like I thought, okay, this is annoying. But it's something that people will say a little bit and then it will dissipate. We'll move on.
But people won't stop saying. I didn't have that on my bingo card. that on my bingo card this week. Oh, I know this is an hour 12 in. I meant to say this earlier, but not that this time isn't as important as the earlier time.
But I got a message from Paul. Immic? No. Holy cow holy cow, Bart. And Shaney just got back to me within a couple hours.
I'm going to be saving $1,500 a year between my house and car insurance. Dan Shaney. Hey, what was the uh attendance at yesterday's brewing? 35. 40 today.
Oh, I thought yesterday was pretty packed. Day games are, what do you think about the 3.15 start on Fridays? And can you see that next year? Wink, wink, hint, hint. Really?
Friday home games during the summer. Why? Well, first of all, not next year. Oh, sorry. In twenty well, yeah, partially next year.
So, why did they do it today? Because they had a concert? Help me with my predicament. We are set to renew season tickets. For next year.
Do I give my money to the brewers and say, here you go? I d I say no.
Well, it's about postseason tickets, I think, for people right now.
Well, postseason, yeah, but they're, but renewals just went out, so renewals. You have until September 1st to renew or not. But then you get good post-season tickets or no? Correct. I mean, you get, I get postseason tickets no matter what if I renew or not, because I had tickets for this year.
Do I not pay anything for next year, but do the postseason? And then anything you don't use in postseason.
So, for postseason, you buy the entire thing right away. Yeah. Anything you don't have to take all your money, collect interest on it, and give it back to you. You can either get it. That should not be legal.
Oh, that's what every team in every sport? does so Was tonight an earlier game because of the Packers? This was originally three-fifteen from the beginning the schedule came out. And I know they play Sunday night, but the game tomorrow's at 1:10, so that's the travel day. Correct.
This could have been played tonight. They've done seven to one a million times. Yeah, but then you can't play a one o'clock game tomorrow. But there was also a community night. Was it part of that?
Because there was a concert. No, there was no concert today. Are you indirectly telling me? The brewers are going to move. to 315 Starts on Friday.
That's all I'm saying. Anyway. Aren't you wrong about the Wisco jerseys? I was right. You were adamant and said that's not what they look like.
No. And then I ate my crow, and then I bought one.
So that means you were wrong, Tim. Sure. But you just said you were right. Correct. Ah, shit.
Um, anything else I wanted to say about the Packer game? They won. We're one in one going into the preseason finale. And home game number one. There's nothing like yesterday's game was fun because, um, When they put up a bunch of runs in the first inning, It just feels so like.
It feels so wrong. Craig Council it looks like got thrown out of tonight's game, too. Um, what do you mean so wrong? It feels like Oh my God, you can do this? Like when like the playup, when Michael Bush homered and then the Brewers scored a shitload of runs in the bottom.
I don't know. Just scoring, scoring in the first inning of a baseball game feels like a. feels like what's something that's not illegal But feels illegal?
So, what about putting up a crooked number in the first inning of a baseball game? And not scoring it all the rest of the game. That's well, Garrett Mitchell hit a home run. We got to see Bernie go down the slide. Yes.
Yeah. Okay.
Did you stay for the entire game? We left in the ninth. In the ninth, okay. 'Cause I parked in, um, Yount. In oh, not in the parking lot with tailgated.
I couldn't get a preferred pass. They were all sold out.
So then I went to Because I was gonna. Oh, the mini golf thing, you can't do that during the game. No, they close that. Like once the game starts or like ten minutes before the game starts or something, right? Because I was a little confused.
I knew where it was. I didn't realize they took that bar down. What bar? There was a Where you can go in and then go outside and smoke? At Fridays, yes.
The old Fridays. I thought you had to go in and then like... I thought this whole area was come in and then go back out, but it's in the park. Correct. But it's not.
Yeah, it's it's outside the park. I could just take my putter and a ball and go play it Tomorrow. Just wait till the playoffs spark. You know they're going to use that. I don't know if you saw the perfect square to put a TV and then another TV.
Oh, no, they have a beer garden for that. Yeah, just wait till the postseason. That thing's going to be like, come on down to our. postseason outdoor party. Just wait.
Yeah. It is depressing walking back over the bridge. And it's just all parking lot. Like, there should be somewhere I can walk to. Here we go.
Well, what the fuck, Tim? What what do you want? There. Places where I can get shit face, you dumbass, and then get back in my car. That's called tailgating, you dumbass!
Bobby says, Why the fuck do they stop selling beer at the seventh inning? I don't know why that is.
Well, it's 'cause they don't want you drinking and then leaving the game. They police you walking out, not really. with a beer. The seventh inning thing, it's total liability. Because the brewers will say, well, we didn't serve We had the eighth and ninth inning.
We haven't served him for an hour. Do you remember before the Seventh in Energy it was like two and a half hours after first pitch, or two hours after first pitch? I don't remember that. I do, because there were some times where the game would go two hours, so people were still getting drinks in the ninth inning. Mm-hmm.
Well, that's what they're doing. I mean, games are short now. Yeah, so I'm pretty much they're doing it like an hour and a half. That's what it comes down to now. Today was two and a half.
I think they should allow you. I think the park should be open all year. Like Like Sunday. They play in Pennsylvania. Yeah.
So, if I want to get a couple of buddies and go sit in section 120 and have some beers and watch the game on the Jumbotron. Open it up for us. Interesting. Sure, whatever you want, Park. I The fuck are you saying?
What the f what are you mad at me for? What's wrong with that? Why are you blown off my idea? Like I said, we should play baseball on the fucking moon. Sure.
Let's play baseball in the sun. This was built with taxpayer money. I should be able to enjoy it, Tim. Yeah. Jesus Christ.
Look at the shadow of your phone. Make animals back there. Here. Yeah, all right, what do we accomplish? Timates my ideas.
I'm a shitty Packer fan. I'm not talking about Trey Smack. Outside of this. You're a shitty packer owner. Not a fan.
I just randomly called Matthew. Good good show tonight, Bart. Can I go to bed? I got a big day tomorrow. without you.
I might go to the Timber Rattlers game.
Okay.
Is Sal Freelick playing tomorrow? Did he play tonight? I don't know if he was in Nashville or not, but I don't know why they keep setting him down. Do they not want to call him up? Like he's gotten enough at bats.
I think he's got over twenty five. Uh they lost eight to four tonight. And what about Joe Koonal? Oh, I could go see that Strauss Nider kid that hit a home run to his dad. No, Brady Ebel, I could watch him.
The Ebel Brothers? Oh. They don't really have Yeah. All right, yeah, we can be done. I mean, you and Don.
You can keep going if you want. I might just sleep on this couch tonight.
Okay.
I'm going to a soccer game on Sunday. God. Jesus Christ. College soccer, man. The Battle for 94.
What is it, Marquette versus DePaul? No, Marquette versus Wisconsin. Oh, ninety f nah. I'll do a post-game next Friday. If I were going to Marquette, like.
Marquette and UWM it would be the battle to tear down 794. Which by the way we should keep it up, but That's a different discussion for a different day. No, we got to tear that thing down. Although, every time I'm on it, I'm like, man, this is nice. Happy bachelor party, Cone, because I'm sure he's watching.
