The trade has gone down. Bye-bye, Drew Holiday. You will be missed. Bye-bye, Grayson Allen. Uh you will be missed.
Bye bye draft picks. We never knew thee.
So when that happened, we went into emergency pod mode. This showed what you're listening to right now. It's Ryan Horvat talking Packers, doing picks. It's Tim Shea doing brewers. There is an episode that was posted about three o'clock on Wednesday that is all day.
So, if you haven't got that yet, if you're like, sometimes I put out the afternoon episodes. And it doesn't Jive with your routine. And, you know, this one comes out at five or whatever. There is a day, a whole episode on Dane.
So grab that when you can. This will be available for you. We got picks, we got all that coming up, but There is a separate Dame, this is like the normal daily. There is a separate dame. Episode YouTube, Spotify, Apple, Google, et cetera.
So we'll get into today's episode. There's a separate dame episode. Still hard to believe. Still very crazy. All you guys photoshopping all summer.
You're the real MVPs. You did it. You manifested it. That's the tampering Jimmy Butler. Gas boy.
$170 Gas Boys bitching about. Tough day for Jimmy. Tough day for Jimmy. So Damian Lillard's a buck. Praise be to Horst.
I got Ryan Orbot here to start. Repping is Joliet Catholic. Wow, I want that t-shirt. Oh, you like that? No, my camera is like off.
Like, my head looks shiny, and I was like.
Sometimes we jump on Uh, you know, a little behind the scenes for the people, we use StreamYard, so sometimes. I use this like different link when I go on a different podcast. And so sometimes when I switch back over to StreamYard, which we. Like my view is all messed up, yeah.
Well, Joliet Catholic Hillman go hill coming off a bad loss, actually, rare loss for the hill. I'm wearing a buck shirt that I filled out a survey, like a fan survey about game day experience, and they. sent me a $250 gift card, so I just raided the pro shop. Did you? Yeah.
And that's what you got, huh?
Well, I got this shirt. I got some shirts for my kid. I got... A couple hats. I really looked to make sure I could find the stuff on clearance so I can.
You know, quality over quantity I did. I like it. I like it. That's, I got a bunch of buck stuff too, myself, actually. You getting excited for the season, the NBA season?
Uh not really. I think the uh You know, I'm so encompassed in football right now, and also. Every day it's a new like. story about something Gianna said that he said a hundred times and now This dame bullshit that I don't I don't get into NBA rumors like the way an average Bucks fan would. I'm not saying they're wrong.
I'm not saying I'm right. I just I I need to Show me the trade. I don't need to see the five months of rumors leading up to this shit. Yeah, I'm with you. And you got your Brewers, the NL Central Champs, too.
Yeah, I saw the clip of you falling in your chair. Oh, Cubs, just purple. Just, I mean, he had a 55% chance, according to fan graphs, to make the playoffs the other night. And, uh, Suzuki, who it's hard to blame him because he's pretty much carried, and nobody cares about the cops, they're a disappointment like they have been the last three decades of my life, just terrible, though, man. I just wanted to see them.
Uh I mean, I just wanted to watch him in the playoffs. And. Like More importantly, I just have a bunch of money on them to make the playoffs. We're not out yet. You guys are not out.
Oh, they're fucked. Like, they're not going to get in. I don't want to talk to you. They're going to play Milwaukee. Milwaukee ain't going to try this weekend.
They w I think they will 'cause it's the Cubs. And I I uh I just hate him so much. I almost want them. I want the money because I got really good prices on them to make the playoffs. But I feel like if they make the playoffs, it's an excuse to keep David Ross, who's a fucking douchebag.
Although they might like to use this run in the second half to keep him regardless, he needs to go. He's cost them, I've counted. I talk about this. I have a buddy in the apartment that's actually a fan too. We're not like harsh on managers, you know, but he has individually cost the Cubs over 15 games this season.
By the sacrifice bunning shit. No, seriously, dude, like no out sacrifice bunning, like with like your cleanup hitter and like the dude in your five-hole, like it doesn't make it. He's bad. Like, anybody that watches Cubs baseball can tell you he's bad. And even if you hate the Cubs, like, this is a They're a pretty fun team.
I think they're exciting as hell, man. This Cody Bellinger season has been a lot of fun. But uh, nobody cares, everybody hates the Cubs, so let's move on. They stink they're not going to the playoffs, Diamondbacks will get in.
Well, we'll see, I guess. We are going to do some NFL picks. I do like those. And I'm going to throw a curveball at you as I broadcast here from the. Happy Place Hemp Studios today.
Which you can see on the Dan Shaney YouTube stream. That's right. On the YouTube stream, my background is the lobby of Happy Place Hemp, the same place where when you walk in, you say, I heard, I heard you on the Bart Winkler show, I'll take 25% off all my gummies, please. And then they give it to you. Or you can use the code at happyplacehent.com.
Bart is the code. Get your i can see the different it's all the different gummies. These are the I think these are the mango. No, these are the delta nines. These are the delta eights.
I got the CBD CBN ones here. Yeah, they're all there. They're all right there for you. You got a knight. There's a knight right there, too.
There's a giant knight. in shining armor I like it. They used my body for the Yeah. Measurements. You ever try to get in the jump in the suit?
Do a little gousting. Yeah, sometimes when we go there, I do like a 10-minute interview for the show, get some product and joust. Yeah. What do you think would happen if you showed up? and you are wearing A night suit.
And you wanted some gummies? Do you think it would? It's because, like, it's you know, some places are no shirt, no shoes, no service. Do you think anything would be like, hey, you can't dress like a knight and come in here? Or do you think they'd be good?
I think they would assume that you already had taken several of these. Or yeah. Let's tell you more. That's true. They they might actually limit your gummies actually.
Anyway, because the Packers are tonight. Night. We're going to start with the Packer game. Oh shit! You're throwing a curveball at me here.
There it is. Right off the Right off the top. I like it actually. All right, so let's get right to it. As we look at the line here, Thursday morning, Packers, one and a half point dogs at Lambeau Field, where they were victorious last week in a comeback effort against the New Orleans Saints, taking on the Detroit Lions, who are also two and one on the season.
This is the early battle. For NFC North supremacy, we're looking at a total of 45 and a half. What are you doing in this game? Bart, I'll let you go first here. Uh what's the spread?
The Packers are one and a half point underdogs. I mean, this is pretty much who's going to win the ball game, dude.
So the other day I made a prediction of 2321 Detroit. I've already done a prediction on this game. I don't know. I was just, I was talking about it and I gave a prediction. I get it, because it's a short week.
Man, gotcha. uh moved up so I Yeah. I don't know. It sounds like we're getting guys back. I guess.
Um I just still don't know week to week what the like You know, in the past we know what our team is, we know what to expect. Here, anything could still happen. I mean, this was a Packer team that was up 12 in the fourth and lost. This was a Packer team that was down 17 in the fourth. And one.
Anything can happen. I feel like Detroit, like. I feel like the tr But then again, I was reading some comments. Who made those comments? Was it?
John Michaels? No. My clothes? No. They're like, I've lost to Detroit every time I've played here.
Oh, it was a Douglas, I think. Last year, Detroit. I am going to take the Packers, and here's why: because of this one thinking alone.
Okay. Last year Detroit came in with the Packers had everything to play for. And Detroit hit us, man, and hit us good. And I think that Some of the younger guys who didn't get to play in that game, their spots have opened up. With all these veterans being gone, they're going to want to do what last year's team couldn't.
So, I will take if I was just average. Sports fan in Omaha, I'd probably take Detroit. I will take the Packers in this game. I will change my prediction from three days ago. Because of this new information.
that I have uncovered. And take Green Bay. Yeah, so here's the thing. I actually planned on betting Green Bay just because of the injury report for Detroit, where you have no David Montgomery. Actually, it looks like he's going to be coming back.
But more importantly, it was their left tackle. Taylor Decker, who was injured. And I was like, man, Rashawn Gary is going to absolutely terrorize Jared Goff in this game. What scares me, and I'm gonna pick the Packers too. But I don't know.
This is. Like what I was telling myself in my head why I was going to bet Green Bay was: I think if, and I love Aaron Rodgers, obviously. I think if Jordan Love played week 18 against Detroit. In that offense, like in the Matt LaFleur system right now with these young dudes, I just think Jordan loves like. This offense is better with Jordan Love.
Like Rodgers was quarterback, what, like 22nd or whatever, 22 last season.
So I was like, man, if Jordan Love started that game, they may have won that game. I think they would have. Right. And so, but the problem is, man. I think the Lions are better this year.
Offensively, like it's year two in that system now for Jared Goff and the Ben Johnson system. I like St. Brown a lot. Looks like Gibbs was not a very good pick. He's like running back number 30 right now as far as efficiency.
Granted, he's a rookie, but I mean, you traded away Swift and look what he's done in back-to-back games for Philly. But what scares me a little bit about Detroit was last year, you know, especially the first eight weeks of the season, the defense wasn't very good.
Now the defense, sneakily, pretty good, man. They're actually right now. Uh, in the top seven, in top seven, right? They're a top 10 team, top seven in yards per play. And you look at the offenses, they face Seattle.
They faced Atlanta and they faced Kansas City. They held up pretty well. I mean, they beat Kansas City opening night.
So that's the only thing that scares me a little bit. I was looking at their run defense because you probably hopefully get Aaron Jones back because I can't watch any more fucking A.J. Dillon ever. And just 22% of the rushing attempts against the Lions have gained five or more yards, which is actually the lowest rate in the league. Like, that's something that nobody's talking about.
Their defense is really good. And then their offense is scary. They've scored a touchdown on 25% of their drives that have started on their side of the field. It's going to come down to special teams. You know, you're going to have to pin them deep, but that's six in the league.
I'm going to pick Green Bay, but it makes me nervous. And I'm also not the biggest trends guy, but Dan Campbell is really good in this underdog role. He's three and one straight up and against the spread against the Packers, including three straight wins. And that was with Aaron Rodgers there. But I just feel like that spread's telling me Green Bay is going to find a way to win this game, or maybe the market, just because Green Bay just beat the Saints, is.
overvaluing Green Bay a little bit. Cause I mean on paper, like I love the Packers, but Detroit's the better team right now, right? They're the overwhelming favorites to win the NFC North, but we don't know that they're the better team. All I know is that the Packers and the Lions are the only team in this division with a pulse. Like the Bears are shit.
And then the Vikings are damn awful too, and they might be trading Kirk Cousins soon.
So, this is going to be a fun game. I can't wait to watch it. I was tempted to bet the over. I feel like we're going to get some points, but I don't know, looking into it, man. Like, I feel like Green Bay is going to be ready to go.
Because, like you said, here's the other reason. I'm not a big narrative guy, but this is a big revenge game. Like, they ended Green Bay's season. And, like, sure, Rogers and Cobb and those old farts are gone, but that also ended the season of Rasul Douglas. And, you know, Jair and Kenny Clark and All the dudes on the offensive side of the ball that actually care.
So, pretty much everybody not named David Bakhtiari.
So, they're going to be ready to go in this game. I can't wait to watch it. I'll pick the Packers for so nobody fucking yells at me on Twitter during the game again. I'm going to pick the Packers here on this podcast because that is the. That's where my stakes are.
The stakes that I am. in life is, hey, pick this game for your podcast. If the stakes were I don't need some Jared Goff picture or Jared Goff. Jesus, some Jordan Love picture on Twitter. Fucking Horbut hates Jordan Love.
No, you dickhead. I don't hate Jordan Love. I wanted to see him get the plate early on. And you just signed Rogers to a four-year extension. I'm so sick of defending that shit.
And like, I like Matt LaFleur. I don't think Joe Berry is very good. I don't give a fuck that he held the New Orleans Saints with Jameis Winston and no Chimera and Michael Thomas with a steel plate in his foot. Scoreless in the fourth quarter. I don't, man.
I think Derek Carr may have won that game.
Sorry to be the bad guy here. No, if the stakes were higher and my life was on the line, I'd probably take Detroit. Yeah, like if somebody gave me a game, no, I mean it, man. I'm probably going to bet Green Bay in this game. The lines tell me somehow Green Bay wins this game.
It's a short week. And I trust LaFleur to have a creative game plan. It just comes down to like, can the guys execute? Because sometimes you watch this team. And like I like, that's the thing about Jordan Love.
Like I love him. And that's where you get like the Mahomes comparisons, but like I don't know. Like that fourth and two fucking play was. Sloppy. But it was a terrible passback to Jordan Love, so you can't blame him.
Your quarterback doesn't need to be catching ground balls, but it's just like. I wish, I get it, man. You know what? I was like, that'd be so dumb to trade for a running back. Fucking whatever it takes.
I mean, we got draft picks anyway. Go get Jonathan Taylor. I never want to see A.J. Dillon ever again. I'm sure he's a nice enough guy.
He's so nice. We always have to say that. He's such a nice guy that we have to say how nice he is. when we shit on him as a player. I mean, I just want him to be better.
It's just, but, dude, when does it click? When does he become. Maybe he needs to go somewhere else, but I don't know who the fucking tell him to. Hey, there's a wide open hole guy. Run run in the middle of that hole.
What are you doing like cutting to the outside? You're not. Chimera. Anyway, let's do things about this game. It is not one of the games, so I have a splash sports pick'em pool.
Okay. And it's five bucks to play splash sports.com. Slash Winkler. This game is not included. Neither is the London game.
Then the slate starts at noon.
So that's that's when the slate of game starts. If you want to sign up for that, so that's the sponsored nugget.

That two teams play on two Thursdays in one season since the Chicago Bears and Chicago Cardinals did it in 1926. The battle for Chicago.

All right, let's get to the other game. Let's start with my favorite bet of Sunday. I bet this one. I was part of this action. The Tennessee Tittens.
Opened up his three and a half point. What? You can't skip the London game. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 'cause that starts it. Good call.
So, I haven't bet the London game, so it doesn't pop up on my list.
Sorry. These are games. Here's the bet to make in the London game. Up to the London game. Oh, yeah, yeah, Atlanta-Jacksonville.
Drake London. Anytime touchdown. I'm going to probably play this one right now. One here in London. Do you get it?
I do. Oh, I got another Horvot special for you on the player props. This one's not quite as juicy as Jimmy Graham 11 to 1 or Jimmy Graham to score first touchdown, but. How about let's go Desmond? Hey, I'm not very good.
Ritter, under 28.5 passing attempts. No way they let Desmond Ritter drop back more than 25 times. And They're going to want to run the ball. against Jacksonville. And If he starts shaky again, short leash.
I think we might get Heineken.
So give me Desmond Ritter. Under 28.5 passing attempts in this game. Man, like Jacksonville looks like shit right now. And everybody's a rebound once they go home to London. I think they'll rebound.
I'm going to take Atlanta with the points here. Spending two weeks out there, Jackson is not coming home. I know, and then they play the Bills next week. Who do you want to win both of those games? I was trying to ask people this, but well, I almost said something mean.
I was trying to ask people that don't know about all this, who do you think that affects more? Or who do you think that favors more? The Bills who are just getting there. Or the Jags who have been there kind of like are familiar with the You know, the clocks gotta be the jigs. You think so, though?
Like, not sleeping in your own bed for two weeks. I mean, I know that they're like rich NFL teams, so they're probably staying in great rooms and beds and stuff, but. No matter where I go, dude, if I'm not sleeping in my own bed, I don't sleep the same. And like day four of a vacation. I gotta get the fuck out of there.
Unless it's well, especially actually Vegas. I think in my favorite Is they want a team in Europe? And so I think that the Jags will win the two games in Europe. I think I'm not thinking it'll work out that way. Are you going Jags minus three, three points?
They win by the three, or are you taking Atlanta with the point? I'm taking Atlanta with the points. Jags might win, but I think it's a field-go game, and I'd at least get the push. I'm telling people to take Drake London in London. I'm telling people in two quarterback leagues.
To pick up Taylor Heineke because he will eventually start there. I agree with you. And I like Jacksonville to cover. I like all that advice except for the Heineke thing. All right, let's start to my game of the day now.
The Titans opened up as three and a half point home dogs. I think this is the Mike Brabel special.
So, what I did was I laid a big bet. A lot of other people did too.
Now we're down to two and a half.
Now it's not that easy to pick.
So I have Titans for a lot of money. If it goes back to three, three and a half, that's my favorite bet this second favorite bet this weekend in the NFL. We're going to get to the next one. That's my favorite bet. Even at two and a half, I'm going to take Tennessee, dude, Joe Burrow.
Everybody keeps talking about the yards per attempt. Yeah, he's averaging four yards per attempt, you dummies that don't know ball, because he's got a fucking calf injury on his plant leg.
So he can't plant and push the ball 30 yards, 40 yards down the field, especially with the pass rush coming at him. Because he's got an injured calf.
So, Joe Burrow doesn't look very good right now. The one thing, though, about Cincinnati, their defense is the real deal. Lu Anarumo, their defensive coordinator, is probably going to be a head coach here soon.
So good at second half adjustments. But this is the Tennessee special. Vrabel at home, catching points. Give me the Titans. The mighty, mighty Titans.
Derek Henry, DeAndre Hopkins, Ryan Tannehill. How about Tanney a couple weeks ago? 11 for 13, targeting wide receivers. Outside of the numbers, Tanny. Boom.
I haven't seen him throw a ball like that since AM. I don't know. Titans so Titans theory. They're the underdog. But people aren't out on the Titans yet, so.
I kind of think it's I don't know what Titan's theory says here. You know better than today. I don't think Titans' Theory is in play this week.
Okay. Well, I like the points with Vrable at home at three and a half. I'm going to take Cincinnati. All right, well, I got a three and a half, you got a two and a half.
So we'll, we'll, how about that? For pick's sake. We'll go with what I bet because we're doing the podcast late on a Thursday. And then we'll give you the two and a half, though.
So you only got to win by a field goal, and I get the three and a half. Fair? Sure, we'll figure out what the Titans' theory is for this season. I think they might be. I think they might win the division.
I think the Jags might be shit, man. I won't, I won't, I won't ever say that. But what if what about the Texans with my guy CJ Stroud? I remember he said he was going to be a bus because he went to Ohio State, learned ball, Miami. Whoa.
Hold on. Was there some movement? Yeah. Goes back to three. I bet the Bills are really big in this game.
The Bills have actually completely changed their options. They're the underdog the next week. And then the team that they. scored 70 on is actually favored in their game. Go figure.
I was trying to like explain this because we did power ratings on my show the other night. And of course, everybody had the Dolphins number one after that game after they hung 70 others. Yeah, and I'll explain why. But dude, like. I said this all summer long.
The Broncos are no good. Sean Payton is the most overrated coach. Clip this. Sean Payton is the most overrated coach, I think, in NFL history. If you look at his resume compared to Mike McCarthy's, they're identical.
And what are you going to say?
Well, Mike McCarthy had Aaron Rodgers.
Okay, Sean Payton had Drew Breeds. and probably a better defense every single season. You know, Aaron Rodgers never had a top 10 scoring defense, except for once when he won the Super Bowl. You know, the saints constantly have that. Look at all the playmakers they've had.
I it's just And now, what we're seeing. They made a movie about Sean Payton and they didn't make one about Mike McCarthy.
Now, what we're seeing in Denver? Here's what I predicted, though. Russell Wilson's no good. Right, it wasn't just Nathaniel Hackett, and don't get me wrong, he sucks too. Just watch the Jets.
Although Zach Wilson, but uh Like, I feel like the guys on the defensive side of the ball that just gave up 70. To the Dolphins. Like they saw this all last year. And what amazed me was they were still a top 10, you know, defense. Even though it was just three and out, three and out, they were on the field every week the entire game.
Now they're like, fuck this, dude. You know what I mean? Like, we want out. There's guys, I think, quitting already in that locker room.
So the Sean Payton stuff, hilarious to me. Overrated. And the reason, like, so, how are you going to power rate the Dolphins, number one, when the Bills this week are three-point favorites over the Dolphins? It's like, I'm doing it, it's just like. Anyway, the matchup, the Bills have completely changed their offense if you've watched them the last two weeks.
So now, I mean, Josh Allen still threw a brutal pick against Washington, but it was rainy conditions and it was like they were up 30, so who cares? They're running all these. Uh heavy sets now. And they're using a bunch of cook out of the backfield, they're using more tight tight end sets. It's early.
than any other team in the league. And that's why they drafted Dalton Kincaid. They're working him out of the slot. They're still using Knox. And then you got Stephon Diggs, who is still awesome, especially against man defense.
And then Gabe Davis looks really good like he did two years ago, like we thought he was going to look last year. Last year, though, nobody talked about it. He was dealing with a high ankle sprain all season long.
So I'm still pretty high on the Bills, actually, higher than I was coming into the season. And on the defensive side of the ball, I think they could only get better once Von Miller gets back. People are like, oh, washed-ass Von Miller. He had eight and a half sacks last season, the first half of the year. Then he got hurt, and the pass rush completely fell off.
So I know Miami looks awesome right now, but they have to hit the road now, play this game in Buffalo. They're going to see each other twice. Maybe I'll bet Miami in Miami. I really like Miami. This isn't a knock on them.
I think they're the most fun team in the league. But Give me the bills here. The bills are going to be up for this game at home, man. They're going to be ready. This is the game of the week, in my opinion.
I think a lot of people are going to play all those Miami fantasy guys. And then they're all going to be very disappointing. It's going to be like 20 to 13. You know what I mean? Because the only thing, dude, is Miami's defense with Fangio looks good.
They don't have Ramsey yet. I don't even know how good Ramsey is. And Buffalo's defense. Fucking, look what they've done the last two weeks. Three weeks, really.
They shouldn't have lost that game week one. Yeah, I'm with you. I um I like Buffalo. I like I like Buffalo. I'm surprised.
I thought you were going to go dolphins here. No, I think a lot of people are going to start like Devin Accain, what's his name? Um And and then he's gonna do dick. I thought you were talking about Devin Caney, the Eagles reporter. All right, let's move on.
Tampa Bay. Takes on. the saints. Tons of line movement. Bucks go from five and a half point dogs to three and a half point dogs, which makes sense because the Saints are most likely actually going to be starting Jameis Winston in this game.
So you got Jameis revenge game. Going against Tampa. What are you doing here? Are you going with Jameis against his former team? Or the fighting bakers against the fighting Jameis is in this game.
I bet Tampa. At five and a half, I definitely don't like it as much at three and a half. Uh Tampa I thought looked like shit the other night. Yeah, I'm going to take the Saints on this on the podcast, and I'm going to re-bet this, I think, and bet some Saints money line. Like, Tampa's not.
I don't understand what happened when Jameis Winston came in there. Yeah. How did they suck? I thought Jameis. I watched a preseason, it's preseason, but I watched a preseason game where he had like three touchdowns and three drives.
I mean the revenge game. He wasn't.
Well, now Jameis, though, has a full week to prepare, and it's against his former team. Yeah, I like the Saints. And that's the thing. He kind of got flung into action at Lambo. You know what I mean?
He wasn't expecting to play in that game. And let's be honest: like, you got a 17-0 lead. I could think of a million quarterbacks I'd rather have out there than Jameis. And I love Jameis. I'm going to take Jameis and the Saints in this game to cover.
Me too. I don't know why I bet.
Well, I bet Tampa at five and a half. If we get a three, I'm taking the Saints. Oh, when the Saints. Go marching in All right, Minnesota looking for their first win. Carolina looking for their first win.
Panthers, the fighting Daltons, three and a half point dogs. Total's forty-five. Hmm. I think the Vikings get their first win. I don't know.
Adam Thielen revenge game here, too. Ooh, Adam Thielen, anytime touchdown. Let's lock it in. Dalton loves Steel and he threw to him like 20 times the other day. Good call, dude.
His receiving yards are 47 and a half. I don't want that. I would rather go with the receptions. They've been like really soft numbers. Nothing that these old backup cornerbacks love more than the white slot receiver.
You know? I I mean, that's a good point. Although, like, I wish in in in Oakland or Oakland. Vegas, they liked Hunter Renfrew a little bit more. No, Jacoby Myers is the new hunter Renfro.
Dude, the Raiders, Josh McDaniels is the dumbest fuck of all time. Look at all those going for a field goal. Yeah, that and but like Use those weapons that you have. You have Renfro still, especially in the red zone. You have Jacoby Myers.
Every Monday should have been talking about McDaniels. But Taylor Swift stole the show. McDaniels was the biggest winner of that. Yeah, he's not good. I'm gonna pick Minnesota.
I'm going to take the Panthers. I want to move away from that game because I don't care about it. Me too. Let's go to the. Oh my God.
Broncos Bears. Very three and a half point dogs. Like, how do you bet this? I would bet God, I would bet the Bears. Like.
It's in Chicago. Justin Fields is playing through. It's more dysfunctional. I think it's the Broncos. Who would you rather have, Justin Fields or Russell Wilson?
Fields. I would also prefer fields. Yeah. Like, I would like to. I wish San Francisco drafted Justin Fields.
I think he'd be good with Shanahan. But he's going to a lot of other places. He is in the worst possible place. You know, he Yeah, but he's not like Gino where he could go elsewhere and I don't think be good. Like, Gino can make the throws.
Gino wasn't finally good till he was in the league for 10 years. Also though, like Gino kind of had like...
Some really bad luck where he lost his job because a guy broke his fucking jaw. Yeah. I don't know. I think I like the Bears here too. I don't really, yeah.
I don't think there's like much of a breakdown. It's just like who's going to suck less, right? I'm going to take the points with the home team. Yeah, I guess sometimes you just gotta look at it without the logos. Right, like if I'm betting the Broncos, I'm sure as shit not attaching a three and a half point point spread to them.
You know what I mean? Like, I'm not betting them over a field goal at this game. I can legitimately, I was going to say, see this game being 3-0, but that would mean both. This is probably Sean Payton effect. People are probably looking at it, like, oh, well.
These teams suck, but Sean Payton. Dude, the only good thing about X or Twitter. Sean Payton could shoot a guy on Fifth Avenue and still get votes. But Kevin James' content this week has been top-notch. It's the only.
I usually hate that kind of stuff, but it's the one thing where, like, everyone I'm in on, let's keep that up. And just the fact that he played Sean Payton, tremendous. All right, let's go to a good game. God. Oh, here we go.
Browns. My Browns. Two and a half point favorites. My Ravens. Dog is in Cleveland.
Why do I feel like we've seen this game this season? We haven't. Total is 41. Um Gosh, this is kind of tough to call. I like.
I like Cleveland, but if we get to three more of a benefit of the doubt to Baltimore than I do Cleveland, I think I'm going to take Baltimore. If we get to three points. A field goal, I have to take hardball with the points. It's just not a principle, but. I think Cleveland's the better team.
Because Baltimore has already beat the shit. I'm going to take Cleveland. Yeah, I'm taking Baltimore. Deshaun looked really good last week.
Well His completion percentage was good. He looked much better. Good game, though. All right. The Tobys, eight and a half point dollars.
I'm going to take Cleveland. We're both taking Cleveland. Yeah, I changed my mind. two point five, it's Cleveland for me. Three, it's Baltimore.
Washington, eight point five point dogs. They opened to seven point dogs. Ticket nine, the Philadelphia Eagles. At home, though, where the Eagles are eight point five point favorites in a game where the total is only forty four, I like in this game. The fighting Tobys to cover eight and a half points.
The Eagles. Right now are just. Either kind of like sleepwalking, and I know Jalen had the stomach flu or whatever. Swifts look good, obviously. Swifts are sleepwalking.
There's a narrative that they're sleepwalking. They look fine. They needed to run against, they could run all they want against the Vikings, so that's all they did. And then they beat Tampa comfortably.
Well, they were able to run all over them too. They ran the ball 40 times.
So that's a good point. I think the Tobys keep this one close, though. It's a divisional game, and I'm getting more than a touchdown, coming off a really shitty performance where they look terrible. And it was a home game, but it was the Bills. And I think we have to upgrade the Bills.
And also, it was a weather game. Sam Howell going against that defense through four picks. I think they bounced back, at least play better. I don't think they went outright, but I'll take the Commanders eight and a half point dogs. I am going to take the Eagles, I think.
I am. Because I'm very riding against whatever Eagles narrative there is.
So I think they go out and put up a number. All right, Rams, Colts. It's a pick. Who wins the game? I'm actually going to take in this matchup the Colts.
I think the Colts might be a little bit better. Than we thought that they were going to be this season. I want Anthony Richardson in the game, though. He's also my fantasy quarterback.
Well, Keith Colts rushed. I I like the Rams unless uh The Colts can do what the Bengals did and that's murder Matt Stafford. Yeah, I mean They'll be able to get after Stafford a little bit in this game. I'm going to take the Colts at home. Um I'm gonna take the Rams.
What are you going to do here? Steelers, three-point favorites. Taking on the same side on a lot of these games, aren't we? Yeah. Yeah.
What do you think about Steelers, Texas? I don't know ball. No, it's a tough week. Yeah. In the NFL I only have Three bets.
One of them is Monday Night Football. I got the Titans plus three and a half. I got the bills on the money line. I bet Tampa at five and a half, but I'm going to play that back and play the Saints. I bet Minnesota on the money line, but I might play Carolina if we get to four.
And I bet the uh But we'll get to the Monday night game, but I bet that one is pretty big, too. I think you could probably guess what side I'm on in that one. I like the Steelers over the Texans. I'm going to take the Texans to cover. I think the Texans might be a little bit I think the Texans might be a little bit better than we expected.
I'm all about CJ Stroud, dude. And that defense, even though it's year one. Barion's looks pretty good. What are you doing in this one? Let's get to the afternoon games.
Raiders, five and a half point dogs taking on the Chargers. Totals 47 and a half. I'm playing the Chargers here. It's most likely going to be Brian Hoyer starting for the Raiders. With our guy Jimmy G being in the concussion protocol, I would play Aiden O'Connell.
But he's only a rookie, and the Raiders are dumb. We just talked about this. Chargers found some life against the Vikings. I think the Chargers are going to go on a little bit of a run here. I'm not ready to give up on my Chargers.
Sucks that Keenan Allen's out for the year. Or is it Mike Williams? Williams. Hey, do I sound different when I switch mic input, or do I sound the same? You sound a little bit better, like a little bit more clear.
Yeah, I fucked up. I've been, I was, we gotta. Can we start this whole thing over? Yeah. Absolutely not.
Well, your lack of effort today. And while you give your pick, I'm getting myself a coffee because I'm tired of that. Yeah, I need a coffee too. I like the Chargers. To cover the number.
Uh I do agree with you. That there's still a lot of life left in that team. I'm very disappointed in Josh Kelly. That was one of the worst fantasy pickups ever. Guy didn't take more two leagues.
But I'll take the Chargers, five and a half. Oh sorry, I was just getting my copy. What? I think the Chargers. Yeah, I think the Chargers are about to go on a run, dude.
All right, let's move on. Uh oh, another favorite I'm gonna bet. Cardinals perfect against the spread. That ends this week when they go to San Francisco. Actually, shit, 14?
Hold up. Yeah, yeah, I don't care. Niners roll. Niners roll over the Cardinals. 14 point favorite.
Dude, the Niners are good. Oh, yeah, I like them. They're my survivor pick. Again, in survivor, I don't save teams. You take the situation in front of you.
And, you know, if the Niners, if I go out and survive her because the Niners lose to the Cardinals at home. Fuck. Then I don't know ball, I guess. I'll learn a block. You're not ball.
You know what I know? The Cowboys are seven-point favorites against the New England Patriots. The total's 43. You know who's scoring a touchdown in this game, Bebe. Say it with me now.
It's a revenge game. Let me just get the number. Hold up, which oh, Zeke? Yep, Zeke. Zeke Scorin.
Absolute fucking lootly. Damn, no touchdown props available yet. I wonder what number we get. She's probably going to be like 650 to score. Oh, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. I'm going to get it. Rushing yards for Zeke. Not even on the board. Is Zeke even playing, dude?
Hold on, anytime touchdown. Let me go down. Zeke is. Let's lock it in no way. Not even on the map.
Oh, here he is. Yeah, plus 260. Plus 260? Yeah, are we locking it in? It's way lower.
That means they they think he's gonna get in. Is it worth it even? I don't know, you got all that Jimmy Graham anytime money. We're locking it in and give me Ezekiel Elliott anytime touchdown and give me the New England Patriots to cover the seven on the road against the Dallas Cowboys. I'm worried about my Cowboys, man.
Way too many injuries.
Now you got no digs for the rest of the season, your best cover corner. You got your offensive lines beat the crap already. Zach Martin missed last week. I'm going to take the Pats to cover the seven. Uh Uh yeah, that's too big of a spread.
They'll cover.
Alright again, let's go to the Sunday night game. I got a bet in this one actually, I forgot about. I got a 10 though. I'm taking the Jets. You know, I think people are being a little too hard on Zach Wilson.
If I'm terrible, but I'm going to take the Jets to come. It's coming out from the fucking grave. Yeah, I hate these old dudes that come out of nowhere. Yeah. Yeah.
Hey, why did Ryan Day get so mad at Lou Holt? Who cares? Where's Lou Holtz at right now? It's like he's in bed. It's so fucking weird.
Yeah, he's 97 years old. Like, relax. I made this comparison. I hosted for Megan Perloff this week, and I was talking to. Barrett Salih, you know him?
Yeah, I like LCC guy. Yeah, so I said, Barret, I'm about to I'm about to do a political comparison and I don't think I should, but I'm gonna. I said, remember in 2016 when Trump was on the debate stage? And Trump was, you can't, no one else can be. Trump.
But Rubio was trying to be Trump. Like all of a sudden, Trump was, he had Marco Rubio making dick jokes. Oh, I thought he meant Ricky Rubio. No, like what the fuck?
Now I think Dion is so Dion, and everyone's like, shit, I gotta be Dion now. And so Ryan Day is trying to cut fucking promos on Lou Holtz. Like they're just all trying to Be what the frontrunner guy's doing. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
So that's my political comparison. It's like, right, hey, Ryan Day, like, we are all talking shit about you. Why are you picking on Peepaw? You know what I mean? Like, he's in bed.
You know, we all think. Um And what's up with his rosy ass, red-ass cheeks, too? Brian Days, like Ben Stiller and Happy Gilmore, like picking on the old fucking people. Dude, the best did you hear Holtz's comeback? It was like Bob Barker fucking happy Gilmore back up a little bit, though.
He was like, I do think your team's soft, and I do think Notre Dame outplayed you.
Sorry, you know, like, I'm sorry that you're like butthurt about it pretty much. And I was like, damn. You know, like you're getting Ryan Day is I fucking, let me just talk about that because that one hurt, man. That stung. I got a bunch of money.
I don't know, I'm sorry. Third and eighteen, dude. Oh Notre Dame though? Like I love Sam Hartman. Those wide receivers suck.
He can't, like, nobody can make a play. Ah, that hurts. And then the cubs. Yeah. At least we got the Packers, the 2-1 Packers.
What could go wrong against the Lions tonight? Let's talk Monday night football. I don't know how they're going to be. What was your pick? What's your pick?
What game? Chiefs Jets. Oh yeah, yeah. I'm taking the points with the Jets. No, I'm gonna take the Chiefs.
No, I'm taking the Jets. I can't. Chiefs aren't gonna cover. You know what? The Jets are probably going to fucking win.
Yeah. Sprinkle a little Jets win on for me. I'm going to take the Jets to win outright. This is the what's money line? This is everyone's shitting on Sunday night football.
Everyone's shitting on that you can't flex till week five. This is the happy place, hemp. Holy shit. We won so much money today. Let's just do a little sprinkle on the money line just because the price is.
Hold up. Uh Hold on, let me do that again. All right, this is what. Start the show over. This is the happy one to, yeah.
This is no, no, no, we're not starting the whole thing over. I got, I got, I'm taking a nap. This is the happy place hemp. We had such a good day betting games. That now, before the prime time game between the Chiefs and the Jets, We're going to take a whole shitload of gummies and relax and just sprinkle a little bit on the Jets' money line.
Plus 375. You know how they're going to do it? Mahomes is going to throw one to Kelsey. Who's going to be so distracted from His new love with Taylor Swift. bounces off the shoulder pads.
Into the hands of one sauce gardener. Pick six. Jets win. Zach Wilson is hoisted and carried off the field. Zack, Zack, Zack, Zack, Zack, Zack, Zack, Zack.
I'm doing a Zach Wilson's dad is then going to probably go to a cigar dinner. With Bill Michaels. Probably with a North Face jacket on. I'm doing a, I have this app called Fliff that I can actually gamble. I got five bucks on it.
Like we're not doing it. I don't know. I'm doing a three-teamer. Underdog money lines. Panthers at home against Minnesota.
Bears at home against. Denver and Jets at home against Chiefs. Five to win, 134. I think I just saw fliff. That sounds like something I was watching Peyton Presley on earlier this morning.
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if anybody's like, I hate like, I hate when people are like, Twitter, I guess I gotta call it X now. It's like, just fucking call it whatever you want, guy. But.
You know, every time it pops up, I'm always like, oh no. I forgot to close a window. I do that. Or it's like you get a notification, and I'm like, uh-oh, what is going on here?
Alright, so Monday night football, I think, right?
Okay. Yeah. I'm taking the Giants. I don't know how they win this game, but they're one-point favorites.
So I'm going to take them. I'm taking the Giants. Finally, we can reunite on something. Yeah, we're going to take the Giants over the Seahawks. Danny Jones is going to play out of his mind.
I don't know how they're going to do it, but it's one of my favorite bets. I can tell you that. I mean red zone Say uh Saquon. I don't think we'll be back for this game. Yeah.
I don't want to say that. I know, though. He's day-to-day right now as we tape. We are recording this like a week away from that game. Andrew Thomas has a good chance that Giants return.
Saquon's day-to-day is the last that we're seeing. I mean, we could always, I mean, you're going to be, you know, like. Probably doing a Packers post and whatnot. Yeah. You could always say, hey, you know.
Update the people. Yeah, that's because they get their Saquon news from me and you. Yeah, you want your Saquon news. That's you come to us around her.
Well, thank you, Brian. Hey, thanks, man. Enjoy the games this weekend. Go, pack, go. Hopefully, we beat the Lions and we're in sole possession of first place in the North.
Who would have thunk it? Who would have thunk it? Hey, how about uh My guy, the tremendous leader that he is. Aaron Rodgers on the Pat McAfee show talking about how proud he is. of our other guy, our young son, Jordan Love.
Yeah, Rogers knew that Jordan, Rogers knew that Jordan Love was going to be good.
So he's trying to take credit for it. Yeah. I don't think he's taking credit for one thing. Remember when Bretton did? Oh, wait, no, wait.
What's that? Oh, Bretton. You've never heard me criticize Roger for all these handouts toward an engine. I bet you what? You've never heard me criticize Rogers for how he's handled Jordan Love.
You know what? When they retire, when Aaron goes into the Packers Hall of Fame, I better not see your fucking face at that ceremony. I better not see it. It's going to be me, it's going to be Ryan Longwell. AJ Hawk.
Randall Cobb, Mike the Painter, and Where's Mike the Painter at these days? He's on Twitter. He's commenting. He isn't. Jumped on one of these in a while.
Did you piss him off? No, we're boys. Did he go to the uh Winkler bash? He was not there. You should do one of those for a Packer game.
Yeah, it's like two hours away though, fam. You should do one for a bucks game. Mm, I don't know. Not the same. Do you think the Bucks should sign Jabari Parker?
No, Jabari's too good for the NBA, he said. Where's he going? The NBA is watered down. There's better basketball to be played in Spain. I don't blame 'em.
He probably doesn't have to play a whole lot of defense in Spain. I played this the other day, but I'm going to play it for you. Uh oh. Uh Jordan loved bookmarks. Sent me this.
John, nobody wanted him until the third round round needs to make his own legacy. Forget the fact you've got a three-time MVP as your quarterback. It's not about town. I'll tell if you're Brian Gouda kids, it's all about me. Jody Love.
You'll be the worst coder thing ever. Oh, we love Rogers. It's a little way Odyssey. Oh, no, no, Odyssey. In our defense though.
It was a Friday, most likely. Give these two motherfuckers a show again. Come on, we're in the same company. We weren't allowed to have commercial breaks. Yeah.
What the fuck was that? John in love. That was uh that's That is great. Woo! Huh, that's I almost got yelled at because I ended a commercial free hour at 56 instead of 58.
I was asked to do 58 minutes of commercial-free sports talk, and then I got yelled at. Um, like next week, because I moved a spot from 6:15 to 625. Do you think that Jordan Love is? Great. Good.
Or a question mark still. Or bad. Uh I think he's I think he's good. Can I just ask, like, okay, so. And because I think he's been awesome, right?
Oh, we were ranking him. I was ranking him with Paul and Grant. Imig thinks he's like a top eight quarterback already. He's like, slow the fuck down, man. He's like, I'd rather have love than CJ Stroud.
I go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. But I don't know. We don't know. We've seen so little, and we're trying to be like, Where does he rank? Yeah, those guys are both, I mean, I Has he even started as many games for the Packers as Matt Flynn has yet?
No. Sam Monson had 31% of Jordan Love's throws this season have been uncatchable, the highest rate in the NFL. Yeah, you know how they judge that though is you By what means? That's intentional when your receiver's getting fucking tackled. Yeah.
Well, I feel like the issue has been like he hasn't had all of his weapons. Christian Watson hasn't played all season. Aaron Jones hasn't been out there. Bakhtiari's been picking and choosing when he's going to play. Elton Jenkins missed the last game.
But like what I've noticed, I mean, it's been like a lot of fucking bad drops.
So I was surprised to see that stat. I think he's been playing excellent. I'd say right now he's a good quarterback. I think he's really good. It's just like I'm watching now, he's getting a bunch of attention, and everybody loves him.
Like, Skip Bayless is tweeting about him and. I went to the gym earlier this morning. Flex. And like, I look up, and it's like Ryan Clark and all those guys are all sold. Packers will win NFC North because of Jordan Love.
And I was like, whoa, this all kind of came out of nowhere. And I just kind of want to pump the brakes on some of it a little. But I do think he's obviously really good. But uh This is gonna be a big game tonight, man. Can't wait to watch it.
That said, gotta get a nap in before it. Deuces, love ya. Peace. Our thanks to Harahi and the Horvat. Again, the picks come on a Thursday delivery, which is what we're going to try to do, but.
We'll see. Packers have a game this evening, so we'll have a live Packers post-game show after Packers Lions. on your same friendly YouTube channel. Um I want to remind you. About my friends at the Wisconsin Bike Fed.

I didn't edit it out. But WisconsinBikeFed.org is where you can go. Check out all the different information. What they're wanting to just remind people of is. The Change and especially when daylight savings eventually happens.

Things you can do there with classes and other fun events, and you know, ways to stay safe, and just a bunch of. Cool things that they have going on. There. uh wisconsinbikefed.org Well, I'm going to catch up.
So. The Brewers play Wednesday night. Plunch the division. Don't care. I mean, I care, but.
There's no breakdown here. I will. Have Tim Shea on in a couple minutes. We talked a little bit after the festivities on Tuesday night. And so I'll have that.
here in a moment. Do you want to get to a Carl's Place voicemail or two? Carl's place, carl of et.com backslash Bart. 402-915-2278. I've got two voicemails, both from Matt.
in the falls.
So our good friend Matt in the Falls, who We haven't seen too much lately. Because he's not on Twitter. And so I tweet the link out. He doesn't see it. He's a big guy on threads.
So I got a thread specifically the link. For any of you, on any of the 140 followers I have on Threads, I'm Bart Winkler on Threads. The winks at my Instagram, they never, whatever, who gives a fuck. Anyway, Matt sort of does. Here's Matt.
In the falls. Big barge, it's me, uh, map. Um I was listening to the show from the other day. on the live stream and I'm a little confused. There was There was a lot of talk about Something called.
Twitter, I think it was. Twitter. And um tweets i think they're connected just based on uh how similar the words are but I was a little confused 'cause people kept on referencing these And I I don't know what it is, so I've googled it. And apparently it's now X.com and it's Just like a place for anti-Semitism and child pornography.
So. Kind of weird that you guys are. talking about it and using that website. Just wanted to, you know, throw that out there for people who don't know. What this weird.
Yeah. thing 'cause it doesn't exist. know there's no such thing as Twitter, so I don't know why. You guys keep talking about it. It's just I don't understand.
Well Okay, so I was worried. I typed in wisconsinbikefed.com. It took me to wisconsinbikefed.org. And if I type in twitter.com. It takes me to With a web state, there's a X logo.
The website still at the top of the URL says twitter.com.
So. That's that's That's where I'm going on that. Uh Twitter. Doug Carrum. Got another one from Matt.
Hey Park, why don't you? Yeah. Three minutes out of your incredibly busy day. And talk to someone at Blue Wire about getting this goddamn Bears Tickets ad. off the front of the podcast.
every goddamn day. I'm sick of it. Fucking bullshit. I don't want to hear Ty Windish offer me Bears tickets. One more time.
I would buy some bears tickets. I'd go this Sunday. This Sunday morning, I'll be on CBS Sports Radio filling in for DA on his football show since. DA is leaving CBS Sports Radio, going to Mad Dog Radio. Big news?
See if that affects me or not, I guess.
Okay, Tim Shea. Let's go back in time. Tuesday night about an hour and a half. Afterwards. And we'll be live on YouTube after Packers Lions.
I love each and every one of you. As if you were my own. Flesh and blood. But not as much as I love Tim. Let's catch up with Tim Shea.
Let's catch up with Tim Shea. We did a YouTube on Tuesday. I was following the games. Tim was at the game, the brewer game, boots on the fucking ground. How was that?
Oh, Tim, you made it. You made it.
Well, the funny thing is, I was waiting in this waiting room, you know, your digital rating room. I didn't realize. You didn't realize. And I'm like, I'm like doing this. I'm like shaking my hands.
I'm like, crap. He doesn't see me.
So I had to go text you and be like, Bart, I'm in like three separate. Because I had a bunch of computer screens shrunk so I could watch all this action. And the Brewers lose. The funny thing about that game, and I already said this, but. The Brewers are down 4-1.
There was no way they were coming back. No, no, but the brains were down 6-0, and you're like, maybe. You know? So you could feel that energy like Crap. The brewers aren't going to do it tonight.
Let me put my seatbelt on. Should be, you know. Don't want you to do it. Senior's always fucking driving. I know, I know.
Hey, make sure you're driving safe. Turn your lights on. Slow down. Look around. WisconsinbikeFed.org.
There you go, there you go.
So, like, you could tell, like, people were getting nervous. Everyone was getting frustrated. Like, God, we come out. Very good crowd for a Tuesday night. Because I feel like everyone thought that night was going to be the night.
Everyone did. Everyone did. I mean, you had. News media, there, the press box was full. It was like Bucks Game Six, where you just knew it was happening.
Um trash box is full except for one missing person. We'll get there. Um Me? Yeah. And then all of a sudden, you know, the Cubs were winning, what, six, nothing?
And I'm like, okay, well, I guess we're going to have to do this all over again tomorrow. And then I look at my phone and I go, it's six to five. And people started doing the Tadahawk chop. Eeeeee bad. I'm just saying, hey, as long as the brains are still doing that, they were doing it in the middle.
We cannot. Look, I don't care if people, I'm not trying to be woke and shit, but like. The tomahawk chop cannot we gotta get rid of it. Oh, they won't. They won't.
So then The Burrs game ends, so the the play already happened. The brewer game ends, the dropped ball by Suzuki already happened. And they said, let's go to Atlanta for an NL Central update. They show the play. And everybody that's walking out.
Turns around, comes back in, the place is going nuts. They go to black on the screen, and everyone's like, Well, are you going to show the game? And about five seconds later, the PA guy comes back on and says, We're going to go live to Atlanta. What? Yeah, they have to.
It was great because it was on TBS.
So I first saw, you know, I'm following, I have the box score up, and then they cut in on Bally's and they're like, hey, by the way, it's 6'3 now. And I'm like, okay, so I flip back and forth a little bit. I see a home run at 6'5, and then I set up the show in the ninth inning. And for the Brewers, but it's the eighth inning in Atlanta, and they got two guys on, and there's a pop flying. I'm like, oh man.
And I think I see the ball bounce. I'm like, what the hell? And then the cubs are like trying to get a guy out. And I still don't know what's going on. Then I realized, yes, the Braves scored.
Suzuki, no good. And I think like. What I have to remind myself is, is the Cubs, these last couple of days, they're still fighting to get in. Like this wasn't about, oh, we lost the division, wham, wham, whah.
So, the Brewers were always going to win this division. There was no way over the next handful of days they weren't going to get the magic number of one. And then some Bruce fans are freaking out, whatever. But the Cubs need to try to get in the playoffs. This killed them.
You know, and they could still do it, and they're going to play a Brewers team that doesn't have much to play for, and now we can kind of like. Fuck with him a little bit, I guess, but. No, it comes to you. The Marlins are the team. Pretty much, it's the Marlins or the Cubs.
It's one spot for two teams. No, Diamondbacks are still in there. Diamond well, okay, fine. The diamond backs too. Yes, true, true.
True, true. Um The Marlins were were Rained out, so they'll play two. They uh they they they play two, yeah. Yeah, Tim and I are taping this Tuesday night. Damn, I was doing such a good job.
And it's airing Thursday morning. Because Tim's on his way back from the ballpark. And as we're recording, it's 10:21. And as we're recording, Tim has to be up in three and a half hours. I'll be fine.
It was worth it. Um Yeah, I don't know. I don't know, you know, the Brewers, whatever. The Brewers are NL Central NL Central champions. They'll figure this out.
We'll probably end up playing the Cubs. I'm pretty confident in that, actually. I would actually I would actually be shocked. Yeah. The cubs.
Don't make the playoffs. Yeah, I I feel like we are destined to Oh, you know who I forgot to shout out on the other night was Matt Pauly. Yeah, I saw he called his friend. Came to Wisconsin, thought he was going to get in the play-by-play circa. Doesn't ever get there.
Goes to St. Louis. His first game calling play by play is in fucking Milwaukee. Incredible stuff. And I heard some great job.
Love that guy. Anyway, so uh people are pretty happy. Yeah, I mean it went from you know like frustrating ener you know nervous energy to Happy, elated, just you know, they got it done. What was the post-game like? What was it like?
The brews are celebrating in the dugout or the clubhouse and stuff. I I cannot confirm this. We'll never know. But usually when the brewer, when you win a division championship and celebrate at home, they do streamers and confetti. I'm pretty sure.
That Someone, they they they called that off. Because we saw a bunch of people walking off. The cat the cat walk. Oh, with like so big. Things, containers.
Do you look do you like this joke? I made a joke that uh The Brewers are celebrating a championship after losing to the Cardinals. What is this? 1982? No.
Good morning. It's a funny joke. You know what? The Brewers have been so dramatic about Clinching, like they played, not they earned it, they're not. And then people on my stream were like, Oh, well, we lost, you can't celebrate.
They're not celebrating that you lost, you're celebrating the journey to get the 88 wins that you've gotten to this point. But it's just too good of a joke not to make. It is. It is. They didn't back their way into the playoffs, okay?
They've earned this, they deserve this. Yes, they lost. That's fine. They're gonna win 90 games. I guarantee you they win two more.
Well yeah. I I I mean, I would hope, I would think, um, maybe not. Oh, you're fine. Yeah. I'm just saying.
Um But they they've had the dramatics before of walk-offs and Late inning home runs to clinch a playoff burst.
So I got to do something a little different today. That's all. Yeah, well, that's one thing that Q said. He goes, We get in all these playoffs by earning the victory. Why not try something different?
There you go. I'm fine with it. I'm fine with it. It was fun. They ended up showing the game, like I said.
We celebrated. You were part of it. You were. There. Yeah, well So Tim, I think uh I think this playoff run might last a little bit.
Well then Uh you better start paying me for these playoff appearances that I'm going to do at the Ampham Field for you.
Okay. Yeah, I haven't given you any scratch in a while, have I? No, it's fine, though. But I give you too much, I have to put you on my tax roll. That's fine.
I will be there for game one. What is it? The wild card? Sure. I was there for game two of the wild card.
If I have to, I'll be there for game three. Game three, there are Thousands of tickets left. We have no idea when these times are going to be. I'm Gussie. If it's Brewers Marlins, we're totally getting screwed.
We're either going to be like that noon game. or two o'clock. If it's diamondbacks, I can see us being like the middle game. Oh, I want day games. Are you fucking kidding me?
Two o'clock, three o'clock, four o'clock. If it's cubs. We could be that seven o'clock game. 'Cause there's gonna be four games a day. Yep.
Does ESPN have them all? I think they do. I think they do, and I think ABC gets one.
So I think they're going to air like one, like one starts at.
So it's gonna be like 12, 2, 4, 7. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. We'll see.
Where are you? Are you home? I just got home. Yeah, I guess we just have to wait and see with the American League side who makes it, who doesn't. There could be no West Coast teams.
So then that gets a little trickier. If there's a West Coast team, that's perfect. Then you can slot them in at nine, and then you have. or eight and then you have you know You could you could start the playoffs a little ur later then. Oh, I do want to update everybody about something.
Remember when I said Giannis was at my swimming last week? Yes. He was not there this week. Oh no. But the attendance for the class that he was last week.
