You need Indeed. Good ball date, everybody. This is the Bart Winkler Show recorded live on tape Tuesday night after the Bucs beat the Spurs. At least I'm pretty sure that the game is final. I don't even know if the game's final. I'm just kind of bored waiting for the end of this thing with the Bucs beat the Spurs 132 to 119, 132 to 119.
So that's good to see. So parts of this game, I was kind of a little bored. Parts of this game, I was kind of a little like, all right, they went out to a huge lead and then, you know, were the Spurs going to come back or were they not? And, you know, I have to remind myself and I think all of us should, that in a season that has already been very up and down in terms of expectations, who we want to fire and what we want to fire and what we want to do and how we want to do it and all this kind of stuff. I think it is nice from time to time to just remember that there are going to be some games that are, I mean, maybe you were more into it than me, but I was bored. And not to not to take that for granted, not to take it for granted because we're going to get to a day in the future where we are going to be shitty and we are going to suck and we're going to be awful and we're going to be the team that's getting our ass kicked again, as we've known for most of our lives.
So enjoy these nights where you're a little bit bored, never boring. And a quick introduction to Matt in the Falls tonight. Wow. Hello.
Yep. How are you? Hey, I've got my notifications turned on for the Barr Winkler Show YouTube stream.
Dan Cheney YouTube stream. I'm happy to have you jump in. You've been kind of, I mean, you came on the other day, but quarter four you've been a little slow. I'm a busy guy.
You know, Packers haven't been inspiring. Hold on. We're all good.
Yeah. And I saw your, what, what made me jump on was I saw your title or your, you know, your, I guess it's a title and the title reads, the title of this episode is, have we officially put all the fake early season bucks panic behind us? I mean, I wouldn't say that I, yes, I was panicking. I was panicking early on. I'm not panicking anymore, but I'm not, I'm not ready to call this wind like the turning point or like we finally do it. I mean, the Spurs are putrid.
Oh yeah. I don't, don't get me. Like I'm not, I'm not saying like, I'm just wondering where we're at now when that article got written about firing Griff and the bucks have lost three times since then. And they've played what 20 games. I feel pretty good. They're 20 and seven Lillard finally hits 40 as a buck. That's great to see Yanis, another triple double. I mean the team, they, they first quarter was like, all right, let's just beat these guys.
And then they kind of coasted through the end. I will say the level of competition hasn't been like outstanding in the last month and a half. So who have we played Dallas? You play who's on the schedule.
He plays on the schedule. I'm trying to find when like the next tough stretch is like, what's the next two or three tough games for the bucks. They go out East around the turn of the new year next on Christmas.
Look out. Yeah. They got, they got Boston and the warriors and the Kings all coming to town in January. If that's something there's a road trip at Portland at Dallas at Utah Phoenix. So there's a road trip coming up. They got a Denver, Miami, Memphis swing. John's back game winner.
Well, what happened to Bart? All right. Welcome to the mat and the fall show.
All right. So am I here? Am I here?
I really think that the bucks are the best team. It's not really evident right now. Hey, welcome to the Matt Miller show. I'm right here. You're just sitting there. You're frozen. You've been frozen for like 25 seconds. I was hosting my own show. Can you hear me? You're looking around like you've been transported to another dimension. Can you hear me now?
I can. Yes, but you were frozen and gone. So I started hosting. I heard all that and I was here, but you were not here for us.
My internet is fucking dog shit. All right. You want to take over again? No, I was enjoying the Mac Miller show or whatever the fucking it's Matt. That's my name.
It's Miller. So you know, good luck finding me. What was I saying? Oh, bucks are the best team.
Not showing it yet. I'm worried about Boston. I'm always worried about Boston.
Celtics are just so annoying all the time. Pain in my thigh. Pain in my thigh? I couldn't walk for three days.
My thighs hurt so bad. Maybe that's why I was thinking about that. Oh, I was, I was having a great time imagining you and Tim at the gym. No offense, but like, we're like the modern day Hans and friends. I know like you guys just taking turns, pumping iron and cheering each other up.
High five. And Tim with a towel again, we play Boston again, January 11th, but then not again until March 20th. And then we don't see the Sixers again until March 14th. So there's a stretch at golden state, whatever you think of them or no Clippers at golden state at Lakers at Clippers at King Draymond green should be out of the league. Sons Boston. There's like a real interesting stretch in March, but we're just kicking the shit out of these teams.
I mean, we absolutely should be. There was a thread that I wanted to mention from Matt threads is really picking up a thread on X. I wanted to know, I'm sorry. So hardwood peroxone it's Matt Moore, HP basketball.
He had a tweet this morning and he's been one of these guys that if he tweets once, he tweets a hundred times. I like him. He just, he's very opinionated and focused on things he says about the bucks as all these national guys are, whether they watch him a lot or not. Hardwood Proxim says starting to rethink some bucks stuff. The defense has been a concern because it's such a big part of their identity, but this is a new bucks identity. I wrote after the nuggets won the title that we're in a new era where you can't win with bad defense because your offense is more important. Miami played elite defense, but spent so much energy on defense that their offensive floor was in the basement in the finals. The bucks are 18th in defensive rating in the last two weeks, they've been 19. I looked the nuggets last year, 18th in defensive rating. Meanwhile, the bucks have a top three offense with 129 offensive rating. The last two weeks, I've got a lot of concerns on the coaching side, but the offense is so good. Maybe it won't matter or at least give them time for them to improve enough to set a defensive floor. So that kind of echoes what I've been saying is I think this team's good.
I don't think they need to make changes. I think any deficiency they have, wherever you want to point to it, I think they can just outscore you. It's not like the dream way to build a basketball team, but also why not? The name of the game is have more points in the other team.
The name of the game officially is basketball, but the idea of the game, the way to win a game is to score more points in the other team. If we look at our in-city counterparts, the Brewers, they've been trying to do pitching and defense for a decade. They fall short. It's offense. And Matt Arnold feels like they know they need offense. So the Bucks... Matt Arnold is the GM of the Brewers? He is.
Why did you say his name? Because the Brewers have tried to do this thing where they've focused on pitching and defense. If they would just get bats and outscore the shit out of people, they'd win.
And maybe that's what the Bucks are doing. This was a real pedestrian game. Someone in the comments said they could have scored 50 if they wanted. I'm trying to look at the box score.
They could have scored 50 if they wanted. Paul, Paul, Paul. Tim Shea, number one hater. Paul L. Hates Tim. Does he?
Yeah. Paul, is it weird how your last name and your first name run together? Do people have to pause and be like, hey, Paul, love something? Is that hard for people? Or do they just go Paul, blah, blah, blah?
And do you feel like, man, I wish people would pronounce my names because I got two names like everybody else. Huh. John says team is progressing, looking better.
Got to see how they handle a contender. That's what I'm saying. A lot of comments that I was not frozen and you're tripping.
I don't even know what that means. I'm going to be tripping tonight when I take one of these 50 milligrams. Happy Place Hemp promo code Bart, 25% off your next order and your order after that and your order after that and orders into perpetuity. You get an order at happyplacehemp.com.

Look, I don't know if people are people don't find out about people freaking out about Devondre Campbell's tweet today. What do you say guy? The guy? The guy played shitty and he was hurt and he, he feels bad.
They played shitty. Everyone's yelling at him. What did he say? He had a tweet where it was basically like, what's the tweet? If I'm hurt, I'm not playing. He posted on a social media platform. Oh, he said, if I'm hurt, I'm not playing.
Um, I got to look out for me or something. And everyone's looking at that like, Oh, the entire defense is a mutiny. It's a guy who had a shitty game and he's blaming other people for his shitty game.
Pretty simple to me. And the defense is probably falling apart for the Packers, but that doesn't mean the offense is bad. Let's get a new coordinator. Everybody knows get a new coordinator.
All these problems will be solved. Get a new coordinator. A locker room is lost. You're basing that on one tweet.
That is such bullshit. Get on here. You turd.
The locker room is lost. That is so, that is so like hyperbolic. Hey, the guy who always wants to talk about Damian Lillard is now directing the conversation towards the Packers on the night that Damian Lillard scores 40, 40 points. First time as a book. How funny is that?
Tragic, but funny. Uh, to recap box, win one 32 to one 19 Victor weapon. Yama did not play in this game tonight. Uh, Giannis only scored 11 points, but had 14 boards and 16 assists.
Haters will say it's fake. That's a triple double Dame with 40 Bobby with 23 off the bench. Just another incredible night for a Bobby. Who's had a real nice home stand.
Tony's in Texas, Tony. Hey Bart, I will never, uh, say that was a bad game by Yanis. That was a hell of a game by Yanis. He did what he had to do, driving and kicking, rebounding, finding Dame.
I mean, play with some energy. I liked what Yanis did today and Dame Lillard. Man that dude, the last two games, I think he's had his highest two scoring games of the year is really coming into his own. And I like what I'm seeing from the bucks. Uh, that, that was a nice workman like win from start to finish.
There's never a doubt with that game. Yeah. 40 points tonight, 39 against the rockets. Uh, his previous high was, well, the first, the first game we had him, he scored at 39. So that was good.
Yeah. Against the sixers. But yeah, this is, this is a great, this is a great spot for the bucks. They are, they are beating the teams are supposed to, they are playing well. Um, they're not holding teams to 97 points. Remember they had that streak. Remember they had that streak of like where they would hold teams under a hundred. Yeah. And then it got broken.
It got broken and people fucking flip their lid. Is that like the Matt Lafleur December streak? We'll never see that one again.
We never will. I just think like, I think bucks fans, you know, and I've talked about this and I won't harp on it or hammer on it tonight, but, uh, we are, we are looking for things to be mad about. And tonight, I mean the last couple of weeks now I think there might be some focus. I saw, was it the low post or the, that podcast Zach low, they were basically shitting on the box for not beating anybody and their schedule was easy. Um, and then they were praising the Sixers.
Bucks have had the second easiest schedule Sixers have had the third. I mean, there's always, there's always something. If you look in the right way, there's always something that you can be negative. Even when there's a lot of positivity for how many guitars do you have? Jesus Christ, Matt, Matt showed us here.
Just saw Grant's comment, um, where he said, does it blow anybody? Blah, blah, blah. And I have 14 bases to be exact. 14 base guitars.
Yes. Base guitars. Matt, you're a musician.
I didn't know that. Matt's a musician. Oh, yep. Minnesota, Minnesota show like 50 times from this room.
But other than that, no clues whatsoever. Well, I didn't know if that was just show, you know, you just had guitars in there to look cool. No, I'm, I'm not like a 70 year old lawyer who does that? No. Uh, do you have a favorite? Do you have a favorite?
One of those favorite acts? I mean, not really. And I don't want to divert the, uh, the podcast with a show Intel, but, uh, I got a lot of green ones.
I like green ones. There we go. Yeah. Matt's on the, uh, Dan Cheney YouTube and he's in a room with 14.
The wall is green. That's not an accident. He says, I don't want to, uh, I don't want to, I don't want to take attention away while sitting in the room with the 14 guitars. Yeah. New Year's resolution. It's like, it's like I sit here and right in front of a picture of the Bradley center, just waiting for something to ask me, but is that a picture of the Bradley center?
Well, as a matter of fact, it is. Who's it signed by? What's your favorite Bradley center memory. Bucks in six. Uh, thanks for all your help.
Giannis Adetokounmpo. No, no. Is that really what it says? No, it's from your friends at off the grails.
Bobbleheads and memorabilia. Oh, weird. Yeah.
Cone roller. Oh, wow. What's up gentlemen. Representing Bozeman, Montana with the t-shirt. Oh yeah. He's probably never been there. I have been.
That's where I got the shirt. Uh, are we still getting upset about the national media is talking about the box. Um, no, no, no. That's not where that was.
It's uncomfortable. Directed. I'm just saying that that was more of a, like I used what they had referenced from a frame of like what bucks fans can get mad about. No, I think like the national media and I, I read a hardwood Proxima's tweets and I thought that was an interesting, uh, just kinda kind of thing. Cause he's been kind of vocal about it. Uh, look, the national media, um, which I'm a part of two days a week, but the national media is, you know, we know how it operates. You watch what you watch when you watch it.
Um, I'm there. Their opinions are what their opinions are. I'm more, I'm more upset about bucks fans that, um, are purposely looking for things to bitch about because that's the way it is the way. So that that's what I don't understand. No. Um, and I did not, I did not take the bait today. There were many Rogers tweets cause now I'm surprised he's not going to play.
Um, um, and I did not take the bait on that. I did post a couple of pictures cause we are lined up where if the packers are in third at the end of the season and the jets are in third at the end of the season, the jets are coming to Lambeau next year. So that is what I think we got to pay attention to these night. Cause the jets, they're going to finish third in the East, Minnesota Vikings flashbacks. I think we wouldn't and farve came in here and beat the shit out of us. You know, it's, I didn't, you know, I wouldn't root against Aaron though. I was rooting against fire back then, but I can't root against Aaron. I know you don't like him Bart, but as far as the football player, I mean he was a hell of a player for us for a long time and now he's gone against them. I would, I would root against him in that game.
Yeah. I mean, and you know, what's funny is I was watching that 30 for 30th Reggie man. That brought back all the memories of, of farm and Reggie. So these, these guys, man, they put all that work in with green Bay and you hate to see when they go to another team, but that, that would be an Epic game, man.
The Packers played the jets. I made it 15 minutes into the Reggie doc. Did you, I couldn't finish.
Maybe why couldn't you finish? I can't, I can't do docu matries. You don't like documentaries. I can't get into documentaries.
Not enough super heroes. I don't know. It's like, I already know what happened. You'd be going to relive it. It's nostalgia bait is part of it.
You get to learn more about it. It was funny in the, in the documentary they're like someone who was saying, and the thing about Reggie is when he would get on, no, you, you stayed away from religion, but when Reggie would talk about religion, everyone was focused and nobody turned the TV off. And I'm like bet on that.
And they turned it off. And I, I like seeing the first 15 minutes was like videos of him as a dad with his young kids. Maybe I got really into that and like, you know, maybe I got like emotional about it. What is the documentary supposed to be about?
Well, I don't know. It's about Reggie's life. Yeah. But I mean, it's, it's gotta have a, it's gotta have some sort of focus or angle or as, as some would say, narrative hate that word, but his impact on people and the NFL. So it's not about his NFL career.
It's about him as a, as a side as a man. I think that's part of it. Yeah. I didn't get to the football part. I didn't get really to the football part. Have you seen it, Tony? Yeah. I've seen most of it. Not all of it. Not Tony didn't make it through either. Is this doc even worth watching?
That's true cone. I didn't hard to say, man. I like the Packer part. What about the Manziel doc? Did people watch that? I watched that one. That was a quick watch. That was quick. It was pretty good. I didn't watch Manziel.
I didn't want the quarterback. I watched one episode of hard knocks. Quit. No, I was, I was walking through the bedroom the other day and my wife was watching your favorite show and there was like a talking clock. Oh, miss minutes.
Loki. Yeah. That was one of the, one of the, one of the, it wasn't good.
I'll just say that it wasn't good bar it up, man. Like Christmas. Huh? Bart's eyes lit up when you said that. I know, but it's, it was like, it was wild. It was wild stuff. He is more excited right now.
If it's a Packers clit, she would not be that excited. That's Marvel. I want to talk about who's, I want to talk about who's going to be recast as king is what I want to talk about. Oh yeah. Big, big, big break hackers, entire coaching staff and say what they're getting for Christmas, whether it's a gift or Cole, you want to do the segment, you want to ring lead it? No, but just throwing it. Who gets a gift cone?
I got to ask you this cone roller. What do you think Campbell thing though? I, you know, I don't care if you hate Joe Berry, but you got to still show up to work and don't put that fucking out in the press.
Yeah. Mike Clemens was on grant show and was kind of clear in the air a little bit saying like, Hey, I'm hurt. I'm frustrated that I'm hurt.
I can't play. He was cleared to play by the most conservative doctors in the NFL. Now I get it.
Like you still got to do your job. You got to put your nose to the grindstone, but I get his frustrations. This is a frustrating, frustrating defense. It's like if we put Chris Middleton on the best wing player in an NBA game, he's going to get cooked. So Devondre Campbell got cooked, but that might've been the best option at the time. And now I know others have said Joe Berry didn't make adjustments. I get it. But I rewind two years ago. Devondre Campbell was great coverage. So I don't know what's going on with this guy.
If he's really hurt or he's just over the hill. I don't know. I think part of it too. Jair it's the Jair effect. Yeah. Yeah. It's that's rotten smell of Jair.
And you can go back to Bakhtiari too. I mean, two of the best Packers ever started to be two of the most disliked Packers ever. Jair's getting cold for Christmas. I hear the Packers. Like we can make the assumptions. The Packers defenders don't like their coach, right? I think so, but they usually like their position coach, whoever that is. Well, yeah.
So then the problem, the thing that I don't want to spread is if that spills over to the floor. Anyway, anything else? Bucks? Yeah. Hey, I got to say, man, Bobby Portis, I know Dame had the big game. Bobby's really on fire. Ever since that, that Indiana loss, he he's really inspired the team. That's leadership.
Devondre Campbell. That's not leadership. Bobby Portis showing leadership. The team was down in the dumps, bitching at each other, bitching at the coaches. Bobby's rally to team. That's what you do.
Cone roller. You don't just start going out in the media and blasting the coach. Yeah. Thank you. Wally asked me on YouTube, can you talk about the MLS dropping out of the U S open cup?
Is anybody aware of this story? The what? I'm still waiting for it. Yeah. Everyone's internet sucks tonight by the way. I'm fine. No, yours is bad too. What you're not like a delay. We've lost code. We've lost code.
Well, his internet sucked also. It might just be cause I've got my leg against a iPad and I'm holding it between my thighs. Um, yes, I'm furious at the MLS. I won't explain the story. If you don't care, you don't care. But to answer this question, I'm furious at the MLS. I think that they are looking out for MLS and not soccer as a whole, which is a problem. They've been a crooked, poorly run organization from the start.
They lied about pro rel in the beginning. Um, Alexi Lawless is a f*****g SIMP for the league and is a detriment to United States soccer and should be removed of his platform. He is a, and the MLS, he needs to go.
Um, he should not have a voice in this, in this, uh, game anymore. I have this decision. I'm so angered by it that I've cut ties with the MLS completely. I unsubscribe.
Yep. I deleted the app from my phone and I canceled the Apple league pass. So I will not be watching messy anymore because I'm boycotting this league. If you want to support soccer, you can support the Milwaukee torrent. You can support, um, pro soccer when it comes, you can support forward Madison. So there's plenty of good soccer to be had great environments without watching pyramid scheme.
Don Garber try to, uh, monopolize the sport with a s****y inferior product. What is the Milwaukee torrent? They play at heart park.
That doesn't answer my question. They're a mid-level soccer team, like semi-pro yeah. Pro are they, are the players better than the wave or worse than the players on the wave? I don't know really what the wave is at right now.
I don't know their skill level comparatively. Could you play on the wave? I could not. Okay.
Just, just getting the gauge set in the bottom. Um, no bad. Could any of Tony's best player play goalie on the wave? I doubt it. I turn on to hear bucks news and Bart goes all Wolf by talking soccer.
He's talking about, he's talking negatively about soccer, which is actually sitting on soccer. I got some bucks. Four bucks from our bucks, a correspondent, Tony.
All right. I really like Andre Jackson Jr. What he's bringing to the table right now. And he's hitting that open three point shot. So they got something with that guy. And I know you're not a big Jay Crowder fan Bart, but he's, I could see that guy mentoring these guys on the sideline.
I liked that. I appreciate Jay Crowder mentoring these guys and talking to these players. I'm back in on Jay.
I'm back in on Jay. I was mad at Jay Crowder last year when he couldn't make a fucking shot. Yeah. I like him now that he was making shots.
Yeah. He, he looked good earlier in the year, but you know, he's, you know, that's what I want for my veterans, you know, do a little coaching on the sideline like he's doing. Maybe, maybe I, maybe I'm not, maybe I'm not like as, as good as everybody else when it comes to identifying NBA players and what precise and exact role they play. But I see all these people wanting to trade Portis or trade a boat champ, or maybe if you have to trade Ajax, because you want like, you want like a guy who's going to defend, you know, other, you want a guy who's going to defend like Tatum. You want like a, you want like a three and D guy. You want a guy that's a little bigger, defend on the perimeter, knock down some threes.
Yeah. Jay Crowder. Well, they, Jay Crowder is that guy, but you need the guy that can switch and cover other players too. Like Tatum and Brown, like you mentioned and, and Jackson, when, when Ajax is out there, he hustles every minute.
Like, he's never going to get another chance. I love that. I love that. And I'll, I'll reiterate this point. There is enough talent on this team, whether it's a materialized yet or not, there is enough talent on this team to win a championship with this coach. As this roster is constructed. I agree with you.
Now I got a question for you. Why has the bucks defense rebounding dropped? So just drastically this year, the rebounding specifically is troubling to me. Why are they not rebounding as well? Well, they traded Drew's defense for Dame's offense simplistically.
And Drew's that good of a rebounder though. That's the difference. They also like, aren't trying as hard. I mean, they're just, they're just chucking up shots, putting up points. All right. So it's the effort thing.
Okay. Maybe they're not in the right position. They're not trying hard, but in an 82 game season, like, yes, they're not expending the amount of energy. Like, you know how in all star games, uh, trying on defense.
Yeah. Like the bucks, the bucks were kind of doing that for 82 games. Well, the Pacers have been on a little losing streak since Vegas. So to your point, they might've put all their eggs in that basket and the bucks probably didn't take it as seriously as the Pacers did. Uh, Mitch says in the NBA today, you're either offense or defense teams don't can't do both.
And I just look at it from like a, like the amount of, to go back to reading some of the tweets I was reading from Matt more earlier. Um, the heat got there on defense, but then we're so spent by the finals. It's like, especially in these games against this competition, do you want your team like that a hundred game, that a hundred points streak again, uh, people melted down over that, even though I think we won in that game that people were mad about, is that what you want from your team? Or do you want your team to be like, I'm not going to expend so much energy on this side of the floor. When I know that they can have three possessions, make six points and Dame can just take 10 seconds off the shot clock effortlessly hit a couple of threes, or we do one little switch fine Yanis easiest bucket that you'll ever see.
Yeah. The bucks don't need like tonight was a great example. They don't need to give a hundred percent to win, right? The talent is the talent is astronomical on this team. They still have the interior defense, right? I wouldn't Brooke have about six blocks today again.
I mean, he's the block part, correct? But that Gelb would like to know when I start lining up chairs, friend of Joe's at Gelb when we beat Boston, um, when would I start lining up chairs? We've got to be Boston at Boston, Matt.
They're undefeated at home. I'm not, I think we can get past the Celtics. I do. I do have to, uh, say, cause I always remember being on Zach's show when they were down two Oh, and I, I've just, I've honestly, uh, never been more sure of anything in my life. And until I'm that sure of something again, I believe that the chair situation and I don't want to ruin the bid. If I put out chairs again, I don't want to like make a shitty sequel, you know?
Yeah. It's like Beverly Hills cop. You got to stop or whatever. I want the original something new. Ghostbusters Beverly Hills cop.
You can't keep going back to the future. Like home alone. Two is good, but it's shot for shot home alone one in a different location. Right?
Right. Although they really like, I watched it again the other day with my kid. They really just, it's two movies.
It's Kevin fucks around in a hotel and then Kevin tries to save Duncan's toy chest and the hotel plot like barely even ever comes back. Hmm. I mean, it was a big part of that movie and then they're just like, ah, fuck it. Like it was two different episodes. Yeah. There's another, there's a Christmas movie reference right there. Matt, any Christmas movies you like, sir? Uh, the, um, is it, it's the one with the, it's like the stop motion with, uh, Yukon Cornelius and Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. I think it's called Rudolph the red nosed reindeer with the, uh, the Island of misfit toys. Yeah.
Your favorite Christmas movies, a TV special from 1965. Absolutely. A hundred percent with the abominable snowman. Oh my God.
You know, have you, have you guys noticed, um, do you feel like the Grinch, the popularity of the Grinch is at an all time high? Yes. Name it. Hold on.
Let's, let's play a game. Name a Christmas movie and I'll tell you if I've seen it. Elf. No. Wonderful life. No. Toy story. What? Noelle with Bill Hader and Anna Kendrick. No.
While they were together. Bruges. No. Never seen diehard. Never seen miracle on 34th street.
How about home alone? Uh, maybe once I think I've seen each of them once. We have, we have blow ups in our yard. We have a frosty blow up inflatable and a Grinch blow up. I'm not a Grinch fan. I'm anti Grinch. There's a street in whitefish bay that has 21 Santas on both sides.
Every house has a 12 foot Santa. Are they the same? Yup.
They're all the same. Matt Lexington, Lexington Boulevard. If you'd like to drive by. Oh, and we went to candy cane lane the other day. Have you guys ever been? Oh man. Many times. I old neighborhood, man. Of course.
It isn't like it used to be now. Hey Matt, national lampoon. Yes, I have seen that one.
Christmas vacation you have seen. Okay. I found one. That's a good one. That's a good one.
That is a good one. Brett and Tosa's wife just called Matt in the falls a loser. The movie takes, it's just that I haven't seen them. She said, who is this guy?
He sounds like a loser. Hey, should I name a bunch of movies I've never seen? Can't win them all. Star Wars. Star Wars. Never seen it. My favorite movies.
The old ones, the new ones suck. Never seen, never seen Shawshank. Me neither. Too long. Never seen Godfather.
Overrided. That a true Italian. I know what happens. I haven't sat down and watched this movie. It's not like I'm like, Andy Dufresne, who is that?
There's a tunnel in the wall. Never heard of it. You know, lead the gun, take the cannoli or whatever. Uh, grant bills. Lot of very star-studded comments tonight between Brett and Tosa's wife, Gelby grant. He says Christmas with the cranks is the best Tim Allen forever. Oh yeah.
Good one. Home improvement was like my favorite show growing up. Great show full time.
Absolutely. Hey, and I even like last man standing to a degree until they understand. Good show. That is, I was going to say, so the Knicks will probably have their, uh, their super bowl on Christmas day. We got, we got a Christmas game coming up. Are you broadcasting by you're not broadcasting.
Are you? No Christmas. I will be spending with my family.
No, no, no show on Christmas. We're your family bar. Well, I do feel that that is appropriate. That's an appropriate response. I do feel that. Um, but I will not be for my own hands. You have like a nurturing mother. You fed.
I only had one hot brought that day though. Like a, like a mother bird who regurgitates her food into her young's mouth. What's LMS. Uh, grant says LMS forever. What is that? That would be, that would be last man standing. What is that?
The other Tim Allen showed you purple. Yeah. Oh, no. I know of it. I have never seen an episode. Hmm.
Yeah. Um, they changed the daughters a lot. And the kids, one of the Jonas kids was actually in the show. I don't know if you know this, but actually ran into the, one of the Jonas brothers, AKA sat across the entirety of the restaurant from them at Tupelo honey, Tupelo honey, cafe.com now through Christmas Eve brunch, they've got a brunch, but not through Christmas Eve, 20% off when you put Bart Winkler show in the reservation notes. And, and guys, uh, you get a free appetizer or dessert with the Bart Winkler VIP treatment that you can get treated.
You're treated with the same sort of, um, joy and respect and admiration. I go there about those sodas. They got Bart. Tell me about those sodas. I'm very intrigued by those sodas.
The sodas are very good, but if you are like not, if you go there not to drink and you have one of these sodas, you will want vodka in it because they taste so perfect. So perfect for a warm summer day on the porch. So perfect for a, uh, golf outing perhaps. Just perfect. Just perfect. Um, let's see.
Chad wants to have a card pack opening. Yeah. Little light on the bucks content today. I think the fine and ever flowing, dipping into, the sports dipping into guy talk.
I've, I have no complaints personally about the content of this episode. Just, just another day at the bar Winkler show. The bucks are okay. I think, I mean, if you want to get back into the bucks, the bucks are in good shape. They're getting healthy. They look good. What do you want to break down? Someone say something about the box right now that has never been said on this show.
Is Jay Crowder going to get his spot back after the Andre Jackson Jr. has been playing kind of well. Good job. Good job. Good job. Good job. You did it. Thanks. Good job. As Jake Crowder lost his spot to injury.
What are you doing? 91 91 pro set. Hey, I thought I had just one pack. Just one pack. This is my wheel. The other night we got a little, we got a little off the off the rails there.
91 pro set. I was once told by my neighbor, uh, that this was the worst player in the league. Kevin Mac. Oh, I've always remembered that about him. Cleveland Brown.
I had, we were looking at trading cards and I was like seven. He goes, you have a Kevin Mac that, that card costs the least amount of money as any card. He's the worst player in the league. Matt, let's try to get strong opinion for Kevin Mac. Matt, let's try to guess the team here that Bart says the player of let's try to get Amy's from Roman Pfeiffer Rams. No, I got it. Got it.
I'm not going to get through Hill. No idea. Cowboys drew Buffalo receiver drew Hill after empty and drew Pearson, uh, boilers. Not a tone. Yup. Danny Noonan. Oh, that's a deep one.
Vikings. The guy on Twitter, Danny Noonan hates me. What?
Oh, I know. You know, this one, Ken Rutgers. Oh, USC grad Rutgers 1985 draft pick. I believe this is before he was a punter. Tom Tupa, Tom Tupa.
He must tell me T bar. What team was he on there? The Patriots.
I don't even know the Cardinals. He started as a quarterback. Oh yeah. That was, you know what? That's the, there was a punter quarterback type of thing too.
Danny white was a punter and quarterback. How about a Kent hall? Can't Cardinals pro bowl center. Kent hall.
Hmm. Buffalo bills. Buffalo bills. How about Jeff Bostic? That's a cult, right?
I got here as a member of Washington, Washington Redskins. Uh, Marcus Koch. Oh, I fuck.
No idea. Koch again. Oh, Vance Johnson. Is that that the Cardinals again? No, Denver, Denver.
Yes. Denver. I think you had a high top fade Rufus Porter. Oh, Rufus Porter. Great name. Broncos.
Uh, Seahawks. Yeah. You may know this name. I have a rookie card of Eric B enemy. Oh, Eric. Yeah.
Sleep with the enemy chargers. Yup. And NFL newsreel Miami to host super bowl. I hated it when they threw that random crap in there when I was a kid. Just, just throw it away. Like, but you need it for the set.
I didn't care about sets. I just wanted a Reggie Miller card. What about when you got a checklist of 81 Reggie Miller cards?
81. Yup. All right. Um, I also wanted to mention that Marquette lost.
Yeah. They did not look good. Providence got them.
What happened there? I just, you know, they're probably a little bit overrated. Providence is a good team. Well don't Marquette and Providence always have weird games together. They do. They do. But Providence is a solid team.
Marquette's probably overrated. So I, I, I was just going to ask, I was just going to ask the world's dumbest question. I won't.
I won't. You want to hear it? Yup. I was going to ask on a bucks post game pod, I was going to ask if Marquette played at home tonight. They did not. They played in Providence. Cause the bucks were at the Fiserv.
Well, they could have played at the, uh, you know, the Mecca maybe. Uh, Bobby has a question. He says, does anybody notice Giannis looks a little different from his rookie years or just me? Um, I guess I'd have to look and compare side by sides. You might see some different in 10 years, but I'd have to look like Michael Jackson. Like he thought he had plastic surgery or what, what is he referring to? I don't know. I have to look, I'm gonna have to look and see if there's maybe muscle mass or older. I'm just going to have to look, see what's up. What'd you think about Giannis' kids on the sideline?
I loved it. I think that, um, it's more fuel for the haters. Yeah. People hate Giannis dude. They do. They do. People hate Giannis.
Yeah. Who does? I think it's because the whole cultural thing he's from Europe or not from Greece. And no, they think he does like a fake humble act like a JJ watt thing. JJ watt. If there was just one major story he didn't comment on, I'd be fine.
Could JJ watt play on the wave? Yes, probably. Okay. His wife soccer player.
So I'll say double down. What was that sexually transmitted? Well, he just knows the game. Soccer's a disease.
God help him. I got STD, baby. There's no care. All right. I don't have much else to say.
Yeah. I got, I got to go play some Fortnite. Wednesday, Orlando game. When's our next game? Thursday. I'll jump on here Thursday.
Hopefully we lose or something. So I have something to talk about. No. Oh shit.
I thought I was muted. You know what? I don't think I'll pop on. I'll let Q and a hot take. Jake take over your airwaves, you know, and let them talk about how much they hate the green Bay Packers, how much we should be tanking and all that good stuff. And that floor. Yeah. Fire mat LaFleur. What else? What else?
What else do we have to talk about with those guys? Tear down the sledding Hill. Yup. Fire everyone.
Fire them all. All right. I'm gonna say bye to you guys and play one voicemail here. All right. Goodbye for now.
Goodbye for now. Enjoy Fortnite and the pizza rolls. This is real pizza, not pizza rolls. Yeah.
It looks fucking good. It is. Costco.
Costco. Let's go. Am I supposed to leave? I thought you were going to like, I'm leaving. I'm leaving you. I'm leaving you. See you bud. All right. Got a Carl's place voicemail here.
4 0 2 9 1 5 B A R T 4 0 2 9 1 5 2 2 7 8. This is on the Packers. And it is from Jason. Bart. Jason here. Long time. First time. Just want to call after listening to Matt LaFleur's press conference today.
I wanted to punch my computer screen. His reluctance to fire Joe Berry and hearing him say how he's seen Joe Berry execute before. And it just is when when they execute.
Everything has to go perfectly right. And what blows my mind is, is this a Matt LaFleur situation to where when he hired Joe Berry, everyone questioned the hire. Joe Berry has never been a good coordinator before. And he's been a good D coordinator before and hired him.
So is that where his reluctance to admit failure? On top of that, Matt LaFleur, the offensive coordinator, Joe Berry makes life very difficult for him. The offense seemingly has to be perfect every game because he knows the defense is going to be on the field for way more than the offense will be. And number two, Matt LaFleur, the head coach, the issues Joe Berry brings to the head coach, always having to answer questions about Joe Berry. But on top of that, the decisions that Matt LaFleur has to make as the head coach and what comes to mind is the Tampa Bay playoff game. When Matt LaFleur decided to kick the field, go down eight, thinking the defense was going to get the ball back.
And we all know how that ended. It makes no sense how Joe Berry is still employed. All it does is make Matt LaFleur's life as a head coach and an offensive coordinator more difficult. Good call there from Jason, if that is your real name.
Yeah, Joe Berry is still the coach, at least for the defensive side. Matt LaFleur, very protective of him. I like all the comments about how they're best friends. They're not really friends. They didn't really have a relationship before this. That's what makes it so weird.
That's what makes it so weird. All right, well, Bucks won, Marquette lost. Packers, I think everybody's worried that Bryce Young is going to cut us up. A free agency in baseball, I don't know, is that still happening? We lost Rowdy Tellez to the Pirates. He sounded a little pissed, I guess. I don't know. Corbin Burns wants to test free agency. He openly said that today.
So that's kind of what's going on in the state of Wisconsin in terms of our sports entertainment. I'll be back tomorrow with a new episode with Grant and Paul.
