Good morning, everybody. My name is Bart Winkler. It is the Wednesday, August ninth episode. Of the Bart Winkler Show. Voices getting back a little bit.

I need it. I need it for Wednesday night. When I'm doing PA at the Steve, I can't, this is not good enough. For Forward Madison. They deserve better, the Mingos do.

The flock deserves better. I need this voice to rest.

So I'm going to cram some tea tonight. I got some water. You know, taking enough emergency and day quill and night quill to. You know, feed a family a tent.

So, trying to get that going. I cover the Brewers. We'll cover that game tonight. And I want to talk about Hard Knocks, episode one. Which premiered on HBO on Tuesday night, featuring the New York Jets.

And why that's interesting for a guy like me is they have our old quarterback. In Aaron Rodgers.

So Aaron Rodgers, as you know, is the Is the quarterback for the New York Jets? And if you didn't know that. you did within the first 10 minutes. I think the hard knocks show. does a good job of highlighting a couple things year in and year out.

training camp battles. personalities that we should get invested in. We didn't get a lot of that. This was the Aaron Rodgers show tonight, and I'm not complaining one way or another. I think the Jets Once they were told they were doing hard knocks, wanted to.

Embrace it and give a behind-the-scenes look. It's always great to hear any conversation on the sidelines that we're not ever privy to. It's always great to see that. But I think that they're buttoned up here. I don't know that this is.

But we'll see. This is one episode. You know, you're not going to manufacture drama. A good chunk of the episode was dedicated to a couple of good things: Sauce Gardner getting his graduation. Ceremony going through that.

Leave Schreiber, the voice of Hard Knocks. Comes to a hard knocks camp for the first time ever, which was interesting. That's an interesting as a former filmmaker.

So I made films in high school. That's a very meta. type of move. that I would have done that I have done With some of the films I tried to make. in high school.

I thought that was kind of a Uh, a meta move. When I say a meta move, a meta, I'm trying to text. I'm throwing a text out. He's not going to come on, but. Join me live on YouTube.

I know Gary Ellerson was watching, so I'm going to just throw him out of, you know. We're coming up on the week anniversary or the year anniversary of SSP going in crumbles. A year ago today, Gary and I were driving back from Canton. And I got in a car accident a year ago today. I hit one of the polls.

in the parking lot and I thought I buffed up my muffler. And I never got it fixed. And I guess it was fine. Matza's first like didn't watch. Jake says Robert Sala is corny.

Corey says, thought you were going to text Rogers, never got his number. Shout out from Gypsy Cabs, who's in Fondi. Christopher says, I need a bootleg copy. I'm in Australia for the World Cup and can't access Max. Get on here.

I want to talk about that. Get on here to talk about you're the you're in Australia? Get on here. Also, the Brewers. I don't know if that went official yet or final.

Any uh I missed your initial any initial thoughts on this episode? Yeah, I think that hard knocks usually talks about. training camp battles and You know, some behind the scenes stuff. I don't think that. We got really any of that.

And I don't know if that's coming. I think that they're not going to. Like force any drama. I also think that the Jets are really gonna try to not give The kind of stuff we've seen. from these shows throughout the years.

Everybody was very happy. Aaron Rodgers. This was the Aaron Rodgers show, as you were going to expect it would be. Which is why a lot of people tuned in. I mean, I maybe watched this on Thursday.

Or Friday, if we don't have the Rogers connection, I thought for someone who didn't want to do it. I mean, it looked very good PR for him. And Rogers is always like, he is. He is a captivating, like engaging person. He's He's uh endearing in that way, but he had a lot of like All these cuts of basically 20 different teammates saying, Man, he's the real one, or we love eight.

Not all of those needed to be jammed in this episode. It almost felt like he got somewhat of a final say on the episode. I mean, it was just all. Rogers Even his funny Sean Payton joke to Nathaniel Hackett, I thought was funny. Yeah, that was funny.

Trying to psych each other out, but it was the Aaron Rodgers show. And uh and that that's that's what we got, which If that's what it's going to be, that's what people want, I guess. But I would like to, we got like one little thing about a linebacker. Like, I want those things. I want to know who's making these.

Like, remember Keelan Doss, the one year from the Raiders? I mean, last year. Rodrigo or whatever his name was, Malcolm Rodriguez. Yeah, that's the kind of stuff I want. And also.

Uh the Jets Really need, like, their fans need this. You see those fans Chanton Rogers. They have sunk all of their emotional eggs into this basket. of them being tremendous this year. Also Um Robert Sala, I don't think, is the right man for this team.

He looks like he. Is 13 And is like, boy, wonder. Coaching this team.

So very pro on Aaron Rodgers. The show was. Robert Sale, if I learned anything from anyone tonight. I don't like Robert Sala as a coach is not it for me.

Well, I texted you while I was watching it and said, I don't feel like this Jets team is very serious. And I mean, at some point, they're going to turn into regular season mode. And then I texted you back and said, at some point, Rodgers is ripping these guys because Zach Wilson looks like he's starstruck. The defense looks like they're starstruck, like watching Aaron Rodgers throw a football. It's like, at some point, guys, you have to go out there and play football.

Even the defensive coordinator, like. Yeah, check this guy out. He's our quarterback. Like, you gotta stop acting starstruck now that Aaron Rodgers is in the building. I understand, like, they're showing the you know the early parts of training camp and everything, so guys are still getting used to it.

But I mean, at some point they're going to have to flip a switch and be like, Yeah, it's cool to play with Aaron Rodgers, but we're all trying to win a Super Bowl here. Thankfully, he's on our team. But let's stop acting like we just saw the Beatles or Elvis or something like that. Like, this dude's our quarterback, and we're going to have to go to battle with him. And We'll see.

I think at some point they'll flip a switch, but I mean, Hackett's not a serious guy. Um, that's you know, you've seen that in Green Bay, so someone's gonna have to be the adult in the room. And I thought Robert Sala was that kind of guy, and like you said, I don't. It seems like he's the kind of guy that's doing everything else like uh Hackett and all the other guys.

So, no, Sala. See, the clips of Robert Sala. Like those look like If you wanted to see what Hackett looked like last year. Like those, like that's what I would expect. Like, how did it get that bad with Hackett?

And then you see a coach being like, Oh, this is so freaking great. Oh, freakity, freakity, fuckity, fuckity. I mean, that, that, that's like. Done. Dude, Robert Sala is probably going to.

Like, um He's not a good jet longer than Robert Sala.

Well, he's matted before. The other thing I'm interested in. I'll continue in a select queue. The others have interested. Stay quiet until I talk to you.

All right. The other thing I'm interested to see as we go along. But I've never heard it. Who is this defensive coordinator guy? Like, I've never even heard of that guy.

I know Sal is a defensive guy, but. Every clip you saw of Salah, he's just like standing there with the quarterbacks, like, uh-huh, good throw, you know, like. What is he doing? Like, at some point, you gotta be involved in something. Yeah, and again, they give us, you know, an hour, and they've been at camp for three weeks, but it did seem like they had a mission to focus on Rogers.

And Zach Wilson, a little bit Garrett Wilson, a little bit Sauce Gardner. And then a lot of it, Robert Sala. And uh Q You had text me at one point too, borderline unwatchable. Yeah, I mean. The first 15 minutes where they were just stroking Aaron Rodgers, like every single person was just like.

Stroking his ego. But I will say. Uh, if any like Jets fans sneak in here, Levi says haters are gonna hate Jets JT. Um I will say like We as Packer fans, so we're Packer fans.

Well, Toby is a commander's. And I'm an owner. And Uh We were stroking Rogers for 15 years, though, is the problem also. Uh I I don't know. I guess it's the first episode.

I thought the coolest part for me was watching. Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson battle and practice, and like just the little chit chat that they were doing, like that, that was like. To me, that's like what hard knocks is. Um, but I I don't think I'll be able to watch it if it's just like. HBO stroking Aaron Rodgers for Five weeks.

I guess so. When did training camps start? Like, how many weeks of training camp is there before the first preseason game? Because wasn't like this, this game happened last weekend, right? Yeah, I think they were there for about a week and a half of camp.

Yeah. So it's, it's, it seems, and then they had like all offseason together. And, like Toby said, that defensive coordinator was like, no one else in the world could make this pass. Oh my goodness. Did you see that?

Well, I do think some of it was.

So I there's a lot like I think if you're like, oh, Bart's talking hard knocks, he's going to shit on. Uh Rogers for an hour. I also like to look at this show from like a TV. perspective um Let me just rip out every thought that's in my brain right now. I think a lot of times when the coaches, I think coaches say fuck a lot.

I say fuck a lot on this podcast. But I don't like Make a note to say. I'm going to swear to I just feel like the coaches, when there's a camera on, they dial up the fucks. I think they dial up the fucks. I kind of thought we'd see more from like It's because it seems like Rogers is just on this island by himself.

And then they're like, oh, we'll hack it, him or buddies. Or no Randall Cobb. What about Uh Alan Lazard. They keep showing Tim Boyle. Without like ever telling you who he is, Rogers play with him for a handful of seasons.

Yeah. Rogers is not completely like. New man in a strange land. There's a lot of guys that he knows. that they didn't really connect with.

The Leave Schreiber stuff I thought was interesting I don't know if it was good or not. I was talking about how in high school I dabbled in some filmmaking. And I tried to make a movie once, and once I realized the movie sucked. I inserted myself in. to talk about how shitty the movie was.

So, this felt like HBO inserting, and that'll be everyone's going to be, oh, it was great, Lee Schrever. It was so, and it was entertaining. But I think they interview, they drop them in because they're like. Fuck, there's like nothing. Interesting here.

I mean, I would have gotten more if they could. When they were playing the game with the pylons, they're trying to throw football at the pylons, and I mentioned this, but. Aaron Rodgers making fun of Nathaniel Hackett by saying Sean Payton to distract him. That I think is Aaron Rodgers. But then I think when he goes on TV and he's like, oh, fuck, don't say that about my coach.

Then I think he was. I think that was like for show.

So that's why I didn't like those comments right away when the Sean Payton story became an Aaron Rodgers story. Because the story, Sean Payton is this coach that rips on the old coach. And it's so like. Absurd. that that's like they we should make fun of it.

But then Rogers says, you know, whatever. And now it's like this serious thing. But then when they're just fucking around, it's like we always appear like everything's so serious. And then when the cameras are off, we're just fucking around.

So I thought that was weird. And again, just based on all these other hard knocks. I want training camp battles.

So, yes, maybe this is: here's the Rodgers you all want. I didn't like that there was a fart joke in there. Fart jokes don't need to be on TV, farts are funny. Farts are funny. Farts fart jokes we can do better than.

Um I will say the one level. That's a lot that I'm. The one little joke that uh I'm sure not everyone could. Pick up, I love the uh Zach Wilson eating at halftime. Remember, he was eating a hot dog or whatever one time, wasn't that?

He had an uncrustable Yeah, but wasn't it like sometime on the sideline went to eating like a hot dog or something the one time? Yeah, maybe it was someone else. But then, like, he was eating like what Bart's kid would eat, an uncrustable. No, I haven't seen an adult eat one of those. But it just doesn't.

This one didn't seem like hard knocks. This one felt like something that they had, like, the team had put together or Rogers had put together. Like, it didn't seem like your regular hard knocks. Like, you know, last year we're like falling in love with Deuce Staley as an offensive coordinator and like, you know, learning all about how the way he goes about it. And he's, you know, all over DeAndre Swift and all those things.

And it's like. I didn't learn anything about anyone other than Aaron Rodgers. Like you said, Bart, like, obviously, we knew that was going to be the focal point, and hopefully, it's not the case for the rest of the episodes, but. Like they're covering the New York Jets and I felt like I didn't cover the New York Jets at all. I covered Aaron Rodgers.

Well, the point there to make is that right now the New York Jets are Aaron Rodgers. I mean, I am so. Interested. In week one. And as interested as I am for Packers, Bears, I am so interested to see this Jets-Bills game.

I just am so curious to watch how Rogers plays. Where last year He was not that good. And he had a broken thumb.

Okay.

So then why are you playing? But he did not look that good. Is this year going to be that Aaron Rodgers or MVP Aaron Rodgers? I think baseman Dave's here, but I see no face. Oh, can you hear me?

I do. Yeah. Alright, let me see why I have no picture.

So he's figuring that out. On your like real Aaron Rodgers versus like. Um, in the media, Aaron Rodgers, it's so ironic that. A guy who said he wanted nothing to do with hard knocks. Literally, the first words that they put out of his mouth are: Hey, do you have my mic good?

And then He's like very concerned, and then they say it does. And he's like, All right, we're going to give you an effing show today. It's like. He likes, I think that's the real him. Is he definitely all about hard knocks and like any publicity he can get?

So I don't know. I think he's the kind of guy that he didn't want to do it and then he found out like It's going to be like, and he's like, oh, heck yeah, this is going to be awesome. Like, that's the kind of guy I feel like Rogers is. Where, like, once you get him past the threshold, like, he loves it, but it's just, it takes a little while for him. I'd be skeptical too, but I think it's, I mean, credit to him for embracing it and giving it lots of content because.

If you're a Rodgers lover or you wanted to learn more about Aaron Rodgers, I feel like you did in this episode. But again, to really dissect this man. How much of that is him knowing the cameras are on him? I feel like I feel like Rogers Like what you saw, like, he seems like a normal dude, but he... He does weird things, so he comes off as like this strange guy going on darkness retreats and everything, but like.

for the most part he's just a normal guy, but he just does different things than everyone else and I mean, he's very uh Philosophical.

So he's not your typical football player.

So, like, obviously, us judging him. We don't like to think philosophically all that often. We're thinking of him as just a football player, but he's probably more so on the. thinker side and all the other stuff, but happens to be a football player. I was on the edge of my seat.

When he goes You know, Hack and I, we're very, like, we love football, but we're very balanced. He's got a wife and four kids. And I'm like, what are you going to say? And what is your balance? He goes.

And I'm interested in a bunch of stuff people know. What's what's your balance? Going to concerts and doing ayahuasca? Family life. Finding a different celebrity to cover up his whatever he does for real.

I got two. Tiny things.

So, how long is it going to take for Pat McAfee to show up on the TV screen? And, um, I forgot. The second. Oh, I guess the other interesting and endearing thing was how much he was bought in on Zach Wilson. I'm guessing it's because he wants to improve his trade value, but it'll be interesting to see if anybody in Wisconsin asks Jordan Love, like if what we're seeing him interacting with Wilson is anything like their relationship.

Hasn't Jordan Love been nothing but complimentary of Rogers and like the help he's given him? Like, maybe he didn't go with this much out of the way 'cause, like, Zack Wilson. basically said he was a Rogers lover and Rogers didn't, you know, he, like, chose to go to New York. He didn't choose to have Love drafted behind him, but I mean, I feel like... Aaron Rodgers was helping Jordan Love along the way.

I think it's a worthy question to ask, but I don't think that. Like everything between Jordan Love and Rogers. I think was fine. I don't think that Rodgers liked that they drafted Jordan Love. Obviously, I think he think he would have worked with them as much extensively and was like on the mic during preseason, telling like calling out receivers so that he could throw a touchdown pass?

Oh, I don't, I don't know. I don't know. That's a good question. I don't know that he like because that was really endearing to me. If Rogers was doing that for love, it would change my perception of what happened the last few years.

I don't think that that's what happened, but like it actually made Rogers likable, and I don't like him at all.

So it's like, I think that's for the show. I think if Hard Knox was here last year, Rogers would have been doing that for love.

Well, Rogers, Rogers is likable. He is. The problem with Roger. that I tweeted out. was And it's really good to watch him talk football.

Rogers is an expert at football. He's smart. He's good. One of the best to ever do it.

Somewhere along the way, He figured because I'm an expert at this thing. I'm also an expert at this, this, this. This and this. And then that comes off as. Doofus.

Yeah, my favorite part would have been if he were with the Packers and they did hard knocks, as he would have been like. You see, when we go through this play, Hackett's going to draw something up where you got a cross, a post coming through here that's going to clear open space of the crossing route. To Lazard, but throw it to Devonte anyways. Yeah. Yeah.

What would you stay on this play?

Well, we had this design that was going to be RPO, and then I was going to move out here. DeGuar is going to come out, which would have freed AJ Dillon, but I knew I was going to check out of that and just chuck it to 17 and double coverage.

Well, good chatting, guys. Thanks. Listen to the rest of the show. Thank you. Q leaves.

Basement Dave has figured it out. I'm not going to blame you for not figuring out your video. I couldn't figure out audio. I had to reset the old device, so. I can't hear you.

What? I'm just kidding. The debut you watch, right? What? Josh Hardnox?

No. Oh, you were liking my tweets. I'm like, oh, you must be fine along. I know, no, I. I like your tweets.

What are you going to do? Whoa, wait a minute, Dave. What's with the Christmas tree? Uh This is my basement. I put up a Christmas tree a couple years ago for a Christmas party.

I ain't taking it down. It's never caught down. No. I like that. I like that a lot, actually.

Yeah, once I decorate, decorations stay up. I don't hate it. I don't hate it. Yeah, but it's a good vibe. It's a good like.

You're in the basement. The basements are separate from the rest of the world. Yep. You cultivate your own atmosphere. Yeah.

An environment. I like it. I got a few hundred bobbleheads behind the bar. You know, it's all good.

Well, how you been, Dave? You got your new kid that's rocking? Yeah, yeah, she's great. She's awesome. What's that?

You got four? Uh yeah. Yeah. Are you coming to the tailgate? That's kinda why I jumped on because I have serious FOMO.

'Cause I can't. Fuck. I know. 'Cause I'm when you were putting out the calls, I was listening to the pod. Yesterday and today, and I was like, oh, they want a grill.

I have the ultimate tailgate grill. Like it and I I jump on I mean, I would do it, but I just I gotta work that day. Because I'm taking off. The following week To go actual up north, north of Highway eight. Smart.

Um, so yeah, so I can't really take that day off, but If you ever do one. Um like next year, like a weeknight or a weekend. I gotcha. Yeah, we'll see. I never thought this would actually happen.

So I... I'm not going to start planning next year's. We're doing a Brewers Twins tailgate. Tickets, you can check out at WinksThinks. for the link.

Um Brewers Twins, August 23rd. in Milwaukee. Did you watch the Brewers tonight? They got the, well, they didn't get their ass kicked, but back and forth game. Wade Miley came back.

Out after 85 pitches, pitch well. Wayne Miley's very good. Who was it that struggled? Pagero struggled. And then they go to Chafin.

Yeah, Chafin didn't look so. He looked good, but he didn't look that good.

Well, they went to him and your ebay. Right. Uh and they walked a shitload of dudes. Yeah. So Akiribe's up.

He struggled. Chafin trade for. He struggled. They traded for Cana. He got a big hit.

Monasterio hit a home run, just a weird team. But they're still going to be in first after tonight. Yeah. it's no big deal. I mean, it's, you know, they What do we got?

Two months left? We'll be fine. What did the Cubs and the Reds do? Right. I don't know.

The Cubs Uh Uh one, they beat the Mets. The Reds Jesus Christ. They lost to the Marlins. Oh, you know who I'm pissed at tonight? Is Kyle Tucker?

I was watching the Orioles Astros game. And I did a $4 lineup in DraftKings. Where, if the Orioles would have closed out the game in the ninth, I would have won $70. And then Kyle Tucker hit a home run, and they won $1.50. Granted.

Big swing. Matt suggests, Dave, that you say you have a medical procedure on the 23rd, because then, if you say that, your employer. Can't follow up. No, that's true.

Now there will be pictures and video and a live stream on YouTube.

So if you guys are going to play hooky for this game, you will get busted. Or there will at least be the opportunity for you to get busted. That's that's uh Matt's Plan for everything. Mm-hmm. Toby, I don't know if I'm going to be able to PA on Wednesday night.

Oh, hey, yeah. I was at Breeze.

Well, you saw the tweet. I was at Breeze on Saturday. Who is there? Uh Bona Ver. Oh, that's why it was so packed in Madison.

It was nuts. I mean, it was. I've been to my third concert at Breeze, and I saw um Greta Van Fleet. and uh modest mouse there. That crowd for Bonavira was twice both of them.

It was nuts. How many times did he play Skinny Love? Just once. Oh. Yeah.

Welcome to Forward Madison. Forward, how am I going to do this? Nope. Mm. Drink a little lemon juice or whatever.

Want fun? Low cost turnkey entertainment. Have your birthday party, bachelor or bachelorette party, or soccer outing at Bree Stevens Field. Doesn't sound good. No, no.

I tell you one thing, uh, that has nothing to do with the Jets hard knocks. I kinda wish Washington would have got the hard knocks. Strictly because it'd be way more entertaining to hear Bienname cuss out his players the entire practice. Yeah, what's the deal there? Uh It's a Ron Rivera needs to learn to How to not give the media things to talk about.

Like. There's nothing there. There shouldn't be anything there. It's like a couple people complaining 'cause I mean, the enemy's a lot harder than Scott Turner, who never yelled, so But this team also hasn't won anything.

So they don't know what it's like to be at that level.

So they shouldn't be frustrated.

So we'll see. I don't think there's any problem. The enemy talked after practice, and there wasn't anything, but I can tell you one thing. That would have been a heck of a lot more entertaining than hearing Aaron Rodgers talk about. all the different things and everyone talk about how much they love Aaron Rodgers and Micole Hardman trying to tell him he's like 45.

Yeah, I don't. I don't mind that stuff. We just got a lot of it.

Well, here's the thing, Bart. It's like you tune into Hard Knocks, and we all understand what the format is, we all love the format. And this didn't feel like hard knocks. This felt like something else. This felt like the New York Jets present.

We love Aaron Rodgers and are so happy he's here. I mean, it's it's like I can't even think of like a Perfect now. It'd be like if you turned on like Spider-Man or if you turned on Batman, and instead of focusing on like the actual superhero They just like focused on Peter Parker. You can do better than that. I couldn't think of anything better.

Okay, they focused on. What's uh no, it says like okay, it's a behind the scenes on the Avengers. But it's 45 minutes. at fucking Hawkeye's Farm with his fucking kids and his wife. Yeah, there you go.

There you go.

Okay, we get it. Hawkeye didn't want to do this. They're like, we'll make it about you because you're so worried. Because, you know, you didn't get your feature film, you just got your six episodes. But we'll make it about you.

There you go.

No, I want to see the other shit. There you go.

That's it, right there. I was supposed to, I thought I was going to get a Carl's voice mailed the night. Carl of et.com backslash Bart.

Somebody sent me a message.

Sorry if I'm dense. What's the call-in number? Horvot is becoming insufferable and I need to rant.

So at some point, we may get that. Mm-hmm. uh horbot team rogers till he dies of course ryan horbot I agree. Brian Horvot is insufferable. Tech is back.

What's up, Tech? Oh, am I actually in here? I was just Toby, Baseman, Dave, and Tak. What's up, guys? Yeah, I was listening.

I've just said in the chat, but Bart, you sound like you've been ripping things in the studio for the last 40 years. Is there some part of it that sounds good? Yeah, you sound like Tim Allen, kind of. You just have that like that little bit of to your voice. Yeah, but it's less like the nasally bart that we're all familiar with.

Sure. It's very grovelly. It hurts to speak. I bet. But I don't mind.

I don't like it. I think it works. This is fine. But over a PA system, Yeah, that's gonna be rough. Do, I mean, could you be like, hey, I'm sick.

I can't talk. Is there a backup person somewhere? Yeah, me. Oh, is that right? No.

Oh, yeah, you're doing it virtually.

Well, I don't know. I don't know that there's a backup person. And I also don't want anyone. To Be my backup guy. Yeah, that's understandable.

I see where you're going with that. Do you guys mind? I'm going to, for the first time ever. Go to another Continent. That's cool.

Chris is in Australia. Yes, that's it. Hey, hey, Bart, can you guys hear me? And you joined. Wow, thanks.

What's up? Yeah. To see all you guys, there's like a You know, they do like field trips here, like the kangaroo and koala thing, like we do in like dairy farms, which is like really trippy, but all these kids are running around anyway. It's really fun, but doing well, aside from the outcome of the game. Of the Brewers game, you're following that over there.

No, hell no, absolutely. Oh, USA.

So, did you go to the World Cup for USA? Yeah, yeah.

So I go every four years. This is my third one in a row, and obviously, the poorest performance, yeah. Just women or men or both? I've only been to the women's one. The last couple men's ones have been a little bit too far.

Oh, you didn't go to Qatar? Yeah, you didn't want to go. I did not. Yeah. I'm putting you front and center here.

There you go, Toby. Deep, doot, deep, doot, deep, doot. All right. Tell me so how long are you there for?

So I'm there for three full weeks. I've been here about a week already.

So I saw the Portugal match and obviously Sweden. The other day, but basically took like three weeks off work with the over three weeks off work with the idea of like going to see the team all the way to the finals and across Australia.

So Australia is really cool. It's obviously winner here. I've never been, so it's been great to travel around and stuff and get to see stuff and hang out with a couple of friends who do these trips with me every year, every four years, but. Yeah, so Australia is rock, but the soccer is pretty terrible. Where have you gone in Australia?

Let's see here. Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney so far, and then doing the rainforest after that and going up to like the islands and stuff where it's a little bit warmer in a few days.

So I'm in New Zealand. My mom used to live over there, so I've been over there. I spent plenty of time over there. Pretty cool.

So you were at the game? Yeah. Yeah, Bart, not only was I at the game, I was sitting across the aisle in this tiny stadium from Suburg and Megan Rupino's entire family, which is one of the most brutal. I mean, I was at the Packers Detroit game last year. I was at the.

Packers Giants playoff game, the one with Kaepernick as well. And I'm a Northwestern fan too.

So I'm used to a lot of bad sports outcomes, right? But Being there and being around Sue Bird and her family when the penalty kick went wide was pretty rough. That was pretty heart-rendering and pretty stiffening to be around, and obviously, it felt for them. You know, the team played a lot better against Sweden than they had in their prior matches.

So it was super. Disappointing and really cruel to see them lose on kicks after they have so many opportunities that they created and a lot of bad luck, frankly. Um, so that was disappointing, but. It's time for a new coach. The guy that they've had in there has been a total failure basically during the Olympic cycle, during this World Cup cycle.

So I don't think anybody was too surprised we followed his team. It's still a little bit hard to swallow. By far the earliest exit they've ever had. I can't believe we have boots on the ground in Australia. This is cool.

Yeah, what have the breweries been doing? I assume they've been losing the entire time, right? Are they still in first place? They're still in first, they've been like alternating playing good, playing bad, playing good, playing bad. They're fine.

Some people say they're frauds. I don't know. Let it play out. And if we um Jordan Love still the quarterback of the Packers, or have we gone and we started the Sean Clifford train after Family Night? No, the biggest thing you've missed is that the Packers had a lot of people at Family Night and the Bears didn't.

So the two families are fighting about what city has more entertainment options. Obviously, Green Bay. Obviously, Green Bay. I didn't even know the Bears had a family name.

Well, it was Sunday in the morning. That was the other thing. It was rainy. And uh Whatever. All right.

Well, you enjoy your time. I'm getting. A little, you got your whole zoo behind you, or whatever. Yeah, exactly. There's a lot going on.

But anyway, all right, good seeing you guys. Thanks for jumping on, dude. That's cool. Sounds good.

Okay, talk to you later. See you, man. How about that? Who is he? The land.

probably nice i've never talked to him he was uh he could speak now he could speak very well about his experience in uh australia that was it was impressive If he gets back tomorrow, he can do PA for me. Is it? Yeah. I don't think that's possible at this point. Uh Matt in the Falls as I missed this comment.

Ask if they only gave him seventy percent of his vacation pay because he went to see women's soccer. Yeah. Jesus Christ.

So I just want to say something about hard knocks. I think that the team does have like final cut. Um say.

So, like, the Jets very well could have made that, you know, story for Rod. But there is nothing like. There's nothing in this that they would have been upset about. Right. I mean, has there, when have you seen people be upset?

Oh, we see guys get caught. We see guys get locked out of the building. We see Antonio Brown freeze his feet.

Well, it's the first episode. I think there's just like. Saying, like, hey, we got Aaron Rodgers. It's a big fucking deal for the Jets. I think it'll be, it'll turn into more of the like rookie shit.

You know, they'll highlight like six guys or whatever. What do you think, all this? Like, what are the main people? When it's on first take or Craig Carton live, or what are they going to be saying? They're going to be saying, Oh, the chets are really likable.

The Rogers really is a great mentor. Like, what's going to be the big. Storyline. Because what I think it should be. Is that Robert Sala looks like he don't know what the fuck's going on?

Yeah, I don't think I'm not sure he does, but it'll all be Rogers. At least for this week. Yeah, it's gonna be all Rogers. Yeah. You're going to watch this Johnny Manzel thing?

I think I have to. I saw the clips of his agents saying, like, someone's actually drafting you in the first round. We're fucked. Yeah. Yeah, I think he studies no tape, you know.

I cannot wait. I'm going to watch it as soon as I hop off here. What is it on? Netflix. Netflix.

They got this coming out, and then in like two weeks, is that University of Florida. Tebo, Aaron Hernandez, Riley Cooper. That team's documentary. Oh. That will be awesome.

I had to scramble 'cause I thought. It would be on Max. I don't have HBO. I use. I use tech, I use Kiter's account, Gweeds, your former coach.

Yeah. Big Jeff. But I I Then DirecTV's app is like the most dog shit app ever. I'm trying to find how to you find the guide. I got Adam eats food, or remember that show, man versus food?

Yes, yeah, I do. I couldn't get off the fucking cooking channel. And he does a mock press conference after. And somehow, somehow, I've only seen, like, somehow I've seen man versus food. Maybe thirteen times, but I've only seen the same three episodes.

There's probably like hundreds of episodes. Yeah. There's a whole You're watching at least the old guy, right? Adam, whatever. Yeah, it's Adam.

The new guy's terrible. Didn't Adam get super skinny? I think But like he got super fat first.

Well, the cool part about Adam is like. I feel like he caught it. He's skinny now. I feel like he conquered like seventy to si 65, 70% of the challenges he tried. This new guy goes...

He didn't conquer this one. Yeah, this new guy goes and like he succeeds like twenty-five percent of the time. You're like, that's not impressive, dude. I feel like the challenges have gotten more crazy over the years, though. Oh, no doubt.

But it's like, dude, if you're just trying to fail food challenges. Right, true. How does anyone with everything that's on TV? How does anyone have 30 minutes a week? To watch fucking Manverse Food.

It used to be a good show. Yeah, but nobody flips through the cable. That's when you would see it. That's why. You watch Man versus Lude?

Uh sometimes. When, you know, you're feeding the baby at who knows what o'clock and that's what's oh you're flip yeah you're flipping Nobody flips anymore. That's why Practical Jokers was a big deal because people just flip: what the fuck is this? And part of the whole joker, you and I are the only ones in our age bracket part that still have. you know, direct T V.

I'll direct TV until I die. I think so. I will too. Because I just can't. I mean, I got my mother-in-law who lives with me.

She needs her Channels, so I'm like, where the TV is just so smooth, spectrum is like going like fucking press the goddamn. It's awful. Why don't you guys use like YouTube TV? Because that is for fucking kids.

Well, I guess I'm a kid. I mean, I can do that, but like I said, my mother in law lives with me.

Okay.

She needs uh something Old school. You know why? Honestly, I like having the DVR. Yeah. I prefer if I'm going to to watch when we do law and order night.

I would rather have it on my DVR. Then go stream it on Peacock.

Well, but the problem is you can't. What? It it's unlimited hours. Shit, I might have to look into that then, maybe, because I've tried to watch. We were watching an Abbott Elementary.

The other night from February that was still on the DVR, and then. He's a wonderful. I love him, but Mark Bainen's like, oh, by the way, we got this snowstorm and fucking Richfield. That is funny actually. And they cut into all this programming.

All right, I'm going to go watch Johnny Manzell. I'll talk to y'all later. I don't know. You guys got anything constructive? Not really.

I enjoyed the hard knocks episode though. Yeah, I enjoyed it. I was into it. Rogers was fine. It was very heavy about him.

I think, honestly, if anything's going to derail that team. It will be Robert Sala. It could be the expectation.

Now, oh, one other thing I want to say. You did catch in the game in the Hall of Fame game. Rogers was like, man, we got to manifest. Everyone's so negative. And Sal is like, yeah, you got to know me, Aaron.

I'm a negative guy. You better get used to it. Yeah, I think he ain't into that.

So, Roger. Rogers, his head coach is Nathaniel Hackett. That's who he's going to listen to. Yeah. Salah is the third wheel in that shit.

He's going to come up to them and be like, What are you guys talking about? And they're going to be like. Fuck you. I mean, he's going to be focused on the defensive side of the ball anyway.

So it's like he's giving, he's probably giving. No, he's not because he's so star-struck that he is Aaron Rodgers. He can't stay away from him. Yeah. I don't think he'll be doing a lot of offensive play column though.

Yeah. I just think that he's. I don't think he's good. Not a quit. Yeah, I don't know.

They got a good team, though, I think. Their offense is improved. Their defense is solid.

Well, when they're highlighting guys, like... Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson, you're like, oh fuck. Yeah. They they have depending on what you think of Rogers, they have like Three of the top 20 players in the league. Yeah, I mean They have a better receiving core than the Packers, that's for damn sure.

Yeah, it was nice to see Cobb. Cobb and Roger still lock in arms, just the two of them. That's another thing. They'll do more they'll do more Lazard in Cobb shit in the later weeks, I'm sure. Yeah, I'd like to see that.

Basement Dave's here, TAC. We do have boots on the ground in Big Ten Country. In Seattle, cone roller. Big Ten country. I'll tell you what, Seattle, absolutely beautiful.

The Big Ten will fit right in up here. Yeah. Although how is Purdue at Washington going to translate? Yeah, that's the weird thing. It's like, is Washington going to go out and play Maryland?

Like, that is just a gross matchup in my mind. Yeah. What are you what what what else is going on up there? I don't know. I just got here like an hour ago.

So. In my hotel, just got some Qdoba. Yeah, Qdoba or Chipotle, I go Qdoba every time.

Okay.

See, Qdoba's got bigger portion sizes, I'd say, but. Chipotle tastes better in my opinion. The worst thing is when you go to one consistently and then you go to the other. And then, like, you say one of the Qdoba phrases at Chipotle, they get like super fucking pissed. What phrases are you referring to?

Phrases are specific to one or the other. The I wanted habanero sauce. Et Chipotle and she goes. Don't you mean like our it's like don't you mean like our spicy Like if I go, can I have two Mick chickens at Burger King? They're going to be like, This guy wants two chick Sandwiches.

They're gonna figure out what's gonna happen. Yeah, but I think it's a good thing. Yeah. Qdoba is good, but it's more of a novelty. Chipotle is like a real burrito.

Wow, interesting. That's my thought. One downside of Tudoba, though, is the only water they have is Dasani. Oh, that's gross. Yeah, so I'm stuck drinking a Dasani tonight.

I'd rather drink my own piss. Just drink the tap water. True. I thought when I was in Seattle, I was there for a Packer game. It was like downtown looked like they.

Started constructing it and then just all quit on the same day. Yeah, where the two stadiums, the baseball and football stadium, it's like. kind of on like a shipping dock. Yeah, it's interesting. And then there was a there was this like We had to wait for some guys to get into the airport.

So, right by the airport, there's this. like giant room. Where there's like a A casino in there with no slots. It's all table games, and it feels super illegal. And We cleaned up there.

But then we were like pounding drinks. Then they put us on a 30-minute Time limit for drinks. They would serve us a drink and then clock 30 before they'd give us another one. Wow. But I think that was specific to our group.

Probably. I mean, as Wisconsinites, I'm sure you went with like that whole crew, right? Yeah, my boys. I'm sure that there was. There's the Qdova bag.

Which I love this week. One-eyed cone. Look at you. Yeah. All right, I'm gonna leave.

I'm tired.

Alright, see you, bud. Bye.

So you're either for work count or what? Yeah, they're for work. Um I haven't watched hard knocks yet, so kind of I know this is the post-game, but can you give me a little pre-game? Yeah, um You can expect a lot of Rogers. For being somebody who didn't want to be on it.

He has to be very happy with the final product tonight. Very pro Rogers, like even a hater like me. Said a lot of nice things about him on this podcast tonight.

Well that's good. I think It's a little like we get it. The Jets are happy they got Rodgers. We get it. I think the big takeaway for me was.

I mean, Robert Sala looks out of place being a coach in the NFL. I think. I think this is going to expose. He's a little overrated, just as a coach in general. Hackett is Rogers' coach.

That's what's happening. Yeah. He's the who? Is he the o the offensive coordinator? Yeah.

Okay.

When did they go on for what? When did they decide that the hard knocks? When did they pick the Jets? Was that like after the Rodgers thing, or is that? Oh, it was after.

Okay.

It was like a no-brainer, and then they didn't want to do it. And Lee Schreiber shows up in the episode. Why why? Leave.

Well, he does the voiceovers, and then they had him come in. I thought we were doing like when She-Hulk jumped into the Disney Plus app. It's like, what a smart. All right, we were in, oh, we were in Australia tonight. We were in we're in Christmastown, we're in Seattle.

Tony in Texas. Hey, what up, Tony? Hey, Bart. If you ain't got no hitters, you ain't popping. Yeah.

You like that? I was thinking of you when Robert Sala said that. Oh, I missed that line. You missed that one? Actually, I thought that was pretty good by Sala.

Is Salo like a real tough guy, or is he kind of the fake tough guy? No, Salo, the whole school is running around going, like, man, this is so freaking cool. What a freaking good pass! Oh, this is what a. I'm so fucking happy.

Yeah, to answer your Cohen question, Cohen, he's a fake, tough guy. To hit the fence, though, it's probably nice to have a competent quarterback. I mean, in San Fran, they never had one. And you had Zach Wilson last year. Oh, dude, Zach Wilson looked like he should be in the movie Varsity Blues still.

The guy looks like he's 16, Cone. Yeah. And then, hey, Rogers comes off really well, Cohen. You're going to like it. Good.

I mean, it looked like he had final approval. Yeah, you think it's Bart, you and some of the other people suffering from Rogers brain melt. Do you think that you're gonna have the take that Rogers is doing this to rehab his image. No. Rogers He he's dabbling on.

He he like So there's a moment in there, Cohn. where They're throwing the ball at a pylon. And part of the game is to distract the person throwing.

So Nathaniel Hackett was throwing. And Rogers goes, Sean Payton. And that was funny. It's funny. And then.

He gets in front of Peter Schrager. He's like. uh how despicable of it is that for Sean Payton like Okay, well, so there's that, and then there's like Fun Rogers. Then there's, I don't want to be on hard knocks, they're shoving it down our throat. He's having the fucking time of his life.

Hey, Bart, you called him a chameleon at one time, remember? I think that's a good take. The guy's got multiple personalities, he's fucking civil. I love the mission. Yeah, he's a chameleon, the guy.

Guy's all over the place.

Now he's Broadway Aaron. He's all over doing Broadway shows, going to Knicks' games, Rangers' games. Yeah, it's pretty interesting. But I will say this: Bart, I am going to the Jets Cowboys game. I am going to go to that.

When is it? First six weeks? It's second week in September. Is that their week two game? Yeah.

Rogers and Jerry World. Let's go. He's undefeated. He's got more playoff wins there than Tony Romo. They've got the Bills and then the Cowboys.

Wow. The Jets games are going to be absolute must-see TV. Yeah, I will be there. I'm conflicted who to root for, Cohn. I guess the Jets.

Really? It's gotta be the jacket. I guess I gotta go for the Jets.

Well, you could say for a Packers playoff, you could refer. True. Oh, I'm doing it for the Cowboys. I I I got a soft spot for McCarthy still though, too. All right, so right away, week three.

Packers play at noon against the Saints on Fox. And The Jets play New England on CBS. Both at noon. Oh man, I am ready for fucking football. Amen.

What do you think about realignment? I'm ready for a training. done. I mean, we knew it was coming. This has been going on since the 90s.

Actually, back in the 90s, when the. The old Southwest Conference, you guys probably don't remember this, but SMU, TCU, Baylor, they all split up. They're all in the same division. Yeah, they're all together with Arkansas. And then they broke up and created that big 12.

And it's been going on since then. And now. I'm kind of embracing it. I know Cohen's kind of doing shtick with that. But I want to go to LA to go watch USC and the Badgers.

I want to go to Seattle to watch UW. U dub versus you dub. Who's the real U dub? I'm going to cherish Pac-12 this year. I'm going to watch every Pac-12 game.

But because we'll never get it again. UCLA plays one team, USC, that they're going to play next year. One team. That's fucked up. Yeah.

They don't play any they don't play Oregon. They don't play Washington. It's fucked up. This change part. What?

The only thing that's constant is change. That's true. Hey, in other Badger related news, did Jonathan Taylor request a trade? Or something. He did.

Yeah, two weeks ago, but yeah. I was listening to 93.3 up here in Seattle, and they were breaking it down. They were calling Jim Ursay the worst owner in the NFL now that Dan Snyder's gone. It also, I think Bart Seahawks are a sleeper to go to the Super Bowl. Yeah, I think they are.

I think they are. I mean the NFC is wide open. Any Can come out of the NFC. Kind of like Seattle now as a team. It's like I've turned a 180 on this team.

I used to hate them.

Now I kind of like watching them. I root for Pete Carroll now, for whatever reason.

Well, their old jerseys are so good. Oh, God, yes. Them and the Chargers, best jerseys ever.

Now they just got to rebuild the kingdom and all. Hey, another NFL throwback uniform news, Bart. Is it a sin for the... For the Nashville Titans, if you're wearing the Houston Oiler jerseys. It is, and since they've already sinned, they have to double down and wear it against Houston.

No. Man, that is a That is like watching your ex-girlfriend have sex with your best friend. That is terrible. That is awesome. Speaking of best friends, here's Tim Shea.

Oh, Timmy. I'm glad I gave Timmy some good career advice. I'm shocked this is still going on. Hello, everybody. Hey Tan.

Uh nothing. Just got home. From what? Yeah. Y'all, you into the game?

Come on. Give me a report. Uh good game until the actual innings. Yeah, are the brewers frauds? I don't know.

Why wasn't Freelich playing? Yeah. I've been in Adamus play.

Well, I know that one. He stinks. Wow. God, you really hate him, don't you? Are you just like a kid in a candy shop being able to go out on a Tuesday night again?

Yes. Wow. How was Hard Knocks? Can I get a recap? Can I get a hold on?

Let me get a professional reset on Hard Knocks. It's very good. No, it isn't. It's terrible. No, it's it's good.

It's I was entertained for an hour. It's heavy on the Rogers, as you would expect. No shit, Sherlock.

Well, it's the biggest s it's the biggest storyline of the NFL offseason. Of course it's going to be. Yeah. So, can I get a recap? Like, real quick, like, what happened episode one?

Anything?

So Sauce Gardner graduated. And he's going to be in the Hall of Fame. I saw your quotes. Like from high school? And then he came back and sauce picked off.

They showed one play where Sauce picked off. Rogers and then some of the receivers and Guys are fine about it. And some jet Threw a punch at Rodgers, so they had to walk him out of the building. That was fucked up. Yeah.

He probably deserved it, though. I'm messing with you. Yeah. Hey, Timmy, I got to ask you about your work, though. You worked the night shift.

How many years did it take off your life? Didn't it suck? Probably took off like 15. I probably had a good five more years of my life left. Oh, man.

Well, thank God. Shit, that no one deserves to work that kind of shift.

Well, talk, Jesus. I mean, how about you respect a place for giving you employment for a couple of hours? Trust me. I'm not bad-mouthing the place. I'm just saying, like, that shift overall, because every news station does it.

It's crazy. Can you talk shit about Channel 58 now? Can you do it? No, I know. God, no.

What do you really think about Kevin Holtz? Who's the meanest anchor there? No one, they're all nice. About Sam the Weather Girl. Wonderful.

They're all great. I left my first day. At Fox being like, oh, what did I do? And not today. Wow, Jesus.

I left. Hires divorce, Tinny. No, no, no, no.

Well, the people at Fox aren't good enough? No, they are. I'm just saying, like, you, you know, you start a new job, you start training, you're like, oh boy, I don't know. And then I left today being like, okay, I got this. This is.

Three weeks. You give it three weeks and then you'll feel at home. Oh, right. Yeah. It's always three weeks.

I'm glad you did not go to channel 12. Why? Channel 12 is the only place that lets me in the building. Oh, that douche Dan Needles. Is he still there?

No, that's why they let me in the building. Oh, thank God. And yeah, yeah. They're now Dari Fernandez. Dario.

Oh, Dario seems all right. Yeah, we're boys now. Perhaps.

Now we're boys. Yeah. Indeed. Hey, we will have boots on the ground in Arlington, Texas for the Big Brewer Rangers series. It's coming out.

All three games. I don't know if you're going post-live show or not, but if you want it, I'll be there. Oh, we're on the west coast next week. We play in Anaheim or wherever the fuck. Yeah, yeah.

Or in Texas. Can I talk to National BART here? What about this Otani thing? I mean, Otati doesn't get shot. The Angels fucked up, but they weren't ever going to trade him.

They were too scared. It's a win-win for everyone to trade them. They were too scared. They should have done it. They're going to look back and say, we should have done it.

They were too scared. It's tough. How do you trade him? It's tough. Kind of like the Packers two years ago.

Yeah, people are saying that. Brewers play, oh, the Rangers is next weekend. Yeah. Come on, Timmy. I had to work.

Oh yeah, weekend shift. Let's All right, gents. I'm going to pack it up, rest my voice so that I can go to the Steve. All right. I don't know if I don't think it sounds any better than yesterday.

Very conscious about this. No, I think it sounds better. Hmm. Fans, catch all the USL action on Sirius XM178. Sirius XMFC.

Join us next Wednesday as the Pittsburgh Riverhounds take on the San Antonio Republic. You sound ten times better than yesterday. A little throaty. Mm-hmm. So throaty.

Hey, guess who I met today? Guess who I meant today? Who? Anthony Mandela. You never knew Mandela?

Nope. He's a former WSSP alum. Can we power rank former WSSP producers? Yeah, Sam Schmidt's number one. Are we ready?

How are we ranking them? A producer or on air or what? I don't know. I was just throwing it out there. I wouldn't sleep on you.

I think a lot of you guys are going to sleep on Radio Joe. I wouldn't sleep on Joe. Don't sleep on Joe. I think Cornwallison's dead fucking last. Fuck you.

I think Todd Was it Todd? He's probably like number two or three. Todd's dead. Fuck. All right.

Pipe Bomb's got to be up there. I know Tim hates them, but Pipe Bomb's got to be up there. You don't like pipe?

Next. You're willing to say, I love pipe bomb. I love pipe bomb, good for you, Bart. I was just texting him with him the other day about big brother. He's um He's employee of the month over at the game.

Yeah, you're jersey. That's awesome. You have a cone, he's part of that weird club like Horavato, Packer fan and Cubs fan. Yeah, you just, I don't get it. And then you got like Nathan Marzion battling Bears fan.

It's like, bro, that's your brotherhood on the Cubs. Like, you're battling the same fans you root for the same baseball team. Yeah. You know, Bart's had all these good takes the last couple of weeks. I can't remember them all, but that whole fucking Chicago, Wisconsin thing, why are we talking about this?

Could you imagine if I was like a diehard Brewers fan and then... Like just shit on the Bucks fans all the time. Instead, I'm a diehard Bucks fan whose shit's on the Bucks fans all the time. Never mind. Bad example.

All right. Good night, gentlemen. All right, crew. Dave Cohen. T-bone.

Football's here, boys. Hey, live show Friday night after Packers. If anyone's out getting f fucked up. Yeah, I'll be there. All right.

Breakdown, Jordan Love. I'm in. All right. Good to see you guys. The next episode will have Grant and Paul.

Grant boo. Hold on, hold on. The Packers fans crying about the Jets is hilarious. Absolutely salty that Green Bay is now irrelevant. MT, first of all.

That's not What happened here tonight?

Now This must be a Jets fan. I am a I am rooting for you to fail. I mean that that's fine. Right? That's fine.

Uh Green Bay is not irrelevant. I think that Jets fans have really. You guys have had a tough You've got a tough Fandom. There hasn't been a lot of great moments. We can feel that.

I'm a Brewers fan here, okay? Bucks for the longest time until they finally won. But you are counting your chickens before they hatch, Mr. MT. I saw they show at Hard Knocks, the Jets fans.

You can see it in their face. Not only do they think Santa Claus is like. They're like, oh my god, he's fucking. He's only divided. Putting Christmas to me now.

You guys just need to relax. Everybody needs to relax. Everybody, this whole preseason Packers fans fighting about Bears fans. Jets, Jets fans thinking they're gonna watch tonight and be like, Oh my God, we're going to the Super Bowl. You watched a 60-minute Rodgers infomercial.

Okay.

We'll all see what happens on the field, guys. Let's just enjoy ourselves. See what happens. The Packers are relevant still. I was at a gas station.

They're talking Packer football. The Bart Winkler show is still relevant. Tim Shea is still relevant. We're all relevant. Time.

Yeah. Yeah. All right, boys. Thank you. And good night.
