My name is Bart Winkler. It's Friday. July 21st. And what a Friday it is. Women's World Cup continues.
The United States play Vietnam tonight. On Fox. Lionel Messi set to debut. on Apple T V plus MLS League Pass Plus If you wanna watch if you wanna watch the USA women, Free. If you want to watch Messi, it's like 20 bucks.
So Choose wisely. If you don't want to watch soccer, I've I've probably heard from you before. Speaking of soccer. Bobby Porter's picked the right sport. Went to the forward Madison game on Thursday night as I do the PA announcing.
Uh Bobby Portis. was one of three people that did the first kick. And the way I introduced him was. I got all dramatic. And I said Ladies and gentlemen.
Two years ago tonight. The Milwaukee Bucks Brought your NBA championship for the first time people clap. And I go A member of that championship team. and a member of your next Championship Bucks team. And then Bobby Portis.
Missed.
So I said, We gotta let him shoot again. I went off script. We got to let him shoot again. Bobby, Bobby. Everyone's going Bobby.
Bobby, he's putting his arms up. Hits the post. No more third try. The first kick thing. It's like a first pitch, only it's...
Not. You just kick it into the goal. I mean, it's all you do. But I think when you get in that position, you're like, well, I can't just like tap it in. That's no fun.
It's an empty goal. There's not even a goalie there. You think I got to have a good shot. I got to rifle this thing in. And unfortunately for Bobby.
He missed. Twice. But the crowd ate him up. Crowd loved him. I did not get to meet.
And greet with Bobby. as I had work duties to attend to. I was hoping that maybe he'd be like, that guy, that voice, I must meet him. Like it, like a little mermaid situation. But it was not to be.
Okay. This episode was mainly taped. Thursday afternoon. Prior to me heading to Forward Madison. As we jumped on live.
after the Brewers beat the Phillies. And if you were there, that's great. I got a couple other voicemails to play. Hopefully, make it worth your while if you've already listened. If not.
A lot of heavy hitters. Who was all on today? We had Tim Shea. Deshaun O'Connell, hot take Jake. Big Ron in Jersey was at the game.
Cone roller. Grant came on.
So it was uh It was it was fun. Fun little post-game show that, of course, is on our Dan Shaney YouTube stream. Dan Shaney. I got a couple other voicemails that I wanted to play. Let's get these in before the end of the week.
That I had gotten during the week. Voicemails, of course, you can leave on the Carl's Place voicemail line: 402-915-B-A-R-T, 402-915-BART. Bart And carl of et.com backslash Bart, of course, to check out the golf simulators that they have for you. Here is Landmark What's going on, Bart? It's landmark.
Figured I would call in after listening to your episode and your escapade with the liquor said, oh. Why they do this? You know, it's the loss prevention people. They say, oh, we're losing too much money on people stealing alcohol, so now we've got to put it behind this barrier.
So hopefully we lose less money, you know. People trying to make their money. Anyway, I understand you. Same way, like when you go to electronic store and it's like, oh, you gotta buy this little electronic over here, even though you wanna go buy 17 other things elsewhere. But Yeah.
Other than that, I don't really have a whole lot. You know, it's summer, so we're still waiting on baseball. What's going on there? I agree. I don't think the Brewers are going to get showhead.
It just doesn't make sense for them. Like, it's a nice little dream for everybody to have somebody that exciting. But unless he can play third base and right field and DH and pitch at the same time, it probably won't be what they need. But it'll be interesting to see what they do in these next couple weeks. They're definitely right in the mix, as we say.
So hopefully things go well with them. Obviously, football is right around the corner, so it's almost football time. I don't have any Milwaukee wave news for you, brother, so I'm sorry about that, but uh I did enjoy the name content for the new soccer club. I don't really like any of those names though, but you know, maybe you can sell me on something. Anyway.
Congrats to you on a not giving into big loss prevention. And I'll talk to you later. Bye. You know I think the naming thing with the soccer club. Is fun, and people are going to get attached to their names.
And that's fun. I'm glad that the team is doing some sort of. community involvement. But The first team that I ever knew I liked was named the Packers. And I didn't know what it meant.
I didn't know what it was. Nobody would ever purposely name their team the Packers. The Packers. The Packers, the meat, the meat packing?
So I always think about that too when someone says, I hate all the names. Yeah, well, I mean, You root for a team. Name the Packers. Here is Bucky Boyd. Art Winkler.
Uh it's fucking boys here. Checking in midweek. A few brewers things for you. Uh John and Franklin's voicemail from Tuesday kind of got me fired up about the For the second half of the season, I'm actually going to game one against the Braves Friday night at the end of the month.
So I'm excited to see the boys in person. Hopefully we can. kind of trap the MLB universe maybe get a get a dub but Um One thing I wanted to touch on is Uh What you were describing as disheartening, what happened at the trade deadline last year. And I wanted to elaborate on that a little more. Uh Last year I was really invested in the brewers.
I think we really had a chance to Uh make a a solid run. even into the playoffs hope and and potentially a deep run. Um you know What David Stearns pulled at the deadline was incredibly disheartening and essentially ruined the second half of the year. Uh You know, kind of ripped out the hearts of everybody in Milwaukee who, you know, loved Josh Hayter. Ultimately was the glue to how the bolt end performs.
And, you know. as you've alluded to many times. Uh forced Devin Williams to basically cry for three months.
So Um you know, just kind of speaks to something that you continue to talk about in terms of these teams just being entities who don't care shit about who supports them. And I think that's really resonated with me as a weight. Maybe why my fandom, especially this year, had kind of diminished a bit. Um and support has diminished a bit is 'cause, you know. Antonaccio is going to Antonaccio in terms of how he wants to run the team, and we can't affect anything about it.
Um And You know As I continue to think about that. Uh it it poses a question which I I would like to I'd ask you and maybe you can discuss it is If the brewers continue to operate this way in terms of their supposed bites of the apple bullshit. Will they ever win a World Series under current circumstances and current ownership? Because I'm convinced they never will. Um but Again, there's a lot of other factors.
At play in terms of how the MLB is set up financially and how payroll works and media contracts, but. My God, this team is so poorly run. and so cheap that you know we're never going to get anywhere and we just That's why the bicep of apple works for us, I suppose.
So. You know, love the pod. And, you know, as always, back to brew. Go with the barrel. Peace and love.
Peace and love. I don't want to make it my identity. I don't want to die on this hill. I don't want to make it my thing, but I'm really just trying to like I'm driving home from Madison tonight, fighting with this guy. And he's saying, I'm moving the goalpost and.
I'll never accept that. The trade was bad, but could be good. Like the only way You ruined a season. The only way the hater trades good is if. Gasser is like Yeah.
You can't you You can't change it. It was bad. It was a bad trade. Even if it leads to outcomes that are good, this is why I say my getting rewarded for bad behavior thing. I am just so.
frustrated. That I Have to like. I don't know. I'm I'm I'm at a loss for words for this. The trade was bad.
And good things could happen from the trade. If Some of the bad things they traded for. Good trades. I'm distracted. I'm sorry.
I started this. I wasn't going to say anything. There was like a giant centipede running around my basement.
Now I've got eyes on the spider. Crawling down. I knew this is what am I doing? I mean, when I say I'm doing a podcast in the basement, I am doing it in a basement. Not a cozy basement.

Good to see. Uh the brewers hitting on all cylinders right now. It seems like if you're someone like me. And you are someone who is accused of Wanting to rip on the brewers. And wanting to be mad at the Brewers.
It seems like you are running out of. Things to say, at least at this current juncture. And that is not me. That is not me. When I put Shohei Otani's face as my profile picture, I'm not saying that these brewers are bad.
The shoyotani. When I'm saying that You know, Contreras is not a part of the hater trade. I'm not saying that to be a dick. I'm saying it because He wasn't. I don't see his name in there in that trade.
They might have traded for somebody after him, but. I don't see his name in there. Brewers lose on Monday. Four to three. They get the win on Tuesday, rather.
They get the win on Wednesday, five to three. And today's win anchored by Corbin Burns, who has really, really been great. Out of the break here. Another eight innings strong today. I like that he was given the opportunity to do that.
and went 100 pitches, struck out 10.
Now I don't know if they would have gone to the Pagero, Pyamps, Williams, any of those guys in this situation. It seems like right now, those are all three almost a package deal. Like we're going to give them all or none. Brewers did extend the lead so Abner Rebe could go in there. Gassed up Harper again.
He's looked really good. His rapid ascension. Just a couple months ago, he was down in AA.
So great to see that. Christian Jelich is all the way back. All the way. Uh, he's and like he means not gonna hit forty home runs, but He's up to 14 now. 287, 376, 3 for 4.

And then I had to agree to these measures and then. They put my account back up, so Yeah, I am able to celebrate.
So, someone complained. I guess so. Maybe it was the Brewers.
So it was just a Brewers logo with a little music? Yeah. And it's all it said is Brewers Win. What was the music? It was their wind song.
How's what's their wind song? It's um I was just playing it. What's their name? Oh, like how it used to be, this is going to be the best day of our lives. Yeah.
Boy, that was a long time. Good pull there. Yeah. Um Pollinoes. Dreams come true?
Yeah. Oh, maybe Hollanoit's got you. I bet they were like, oh, we got to get that guy in Milwaukee who's. putting up our song on Twitter. A 10-second clip of it, by the way.
Yeah. Whatever. Good win today, party. This team's on fire right now. Team's on fire.
Uh Lee Sean O'Connell's on fire from his Fishing excursion. We got a week off. Am I on? Holy shit. Yeah, I have Two weeks off.
Tomorrow too. And you're out fishing? Caught some big ones. Oh, only briefly, only briefly. But no, it was a good time.
So, yeah, I was able to take in the Brewer game today in the Friendly. garage confines from the garage confines um The Mrs. O'Connell had to work, so I try to keep it down. Oh, you got a T V in there or just was it uh radio? Uh right there.
I set one up with the Chromecast, which I would like to thank Romy Maklov. For Hip and Me too, I... You know, I'm a little slow on the uptake, not necessarily. I'll be 50 soon, Bart Winkler.
So, some of this technology escapes me. But Romy Maklov, shout out, Sack Town Zone. He hooked me or hipped me to the Google Chromecast, so I use that quite a bit. I got a TV that these little dad baby arms can move around. pretty pretty easily and a uh net gear booster so that the signal yo make no mistake Bart Winkler of the Bart Winkler Show.
I use every advantage I can. I need that. I need I need like s I need a booster of Wi-Fi in my house. Yes, they're like forty bucks at Best Buy. You can do it.
If I can do it... You can do it. Hot take Jake is also here. Hot take Jake. What's up, boys?
Tim, where are you parked? Don't worry about it. Bart, looking good. You look like uh... I don't know, you look like Somebody that lost a lot of personal stakes when Ashley Madison got shut down.
Jesus Christmas and these Sean Well, one of my latest Twitter followers, Mad Props, appreciate the follow, bud. Right back at you. You guys are finally connected? Yeah, we're all becoming Eskimo brothers because of you, Bart. Again.
Let me talk to you. Let me talk to you. So first things first. At what point does Damian Low no I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
I can't. Uh What I really want to talk about is Okay, first of all, the Brewers won with a Little League lineup tonight, which is hilarious. Fucking hilarious. Just get Shohei Otani because while I understand that patience is a virtue. You know what other old cliché I love?
Scared money don't make no money.
So look, I want to go back to the CC Sabathia trade because I remember I was a really, really big fan at the time. And I was concerned that like they gave up too much. Do you know what they gave up? Matt Laporta, who was I was convinced was gonna be like Larry Walker or Chipper Jones, like he was gonna be the prince replacement. They gave up Zach Jackson.
Michael Brantley, who turned into a good leadoff hitter and center fielder, and then some guy named Rob Bryson. And that's the thing about prospects, like, they're amazing until, like, here they are.
Now you got to put up or shut up. and let's say the brewers traded four of their top prospects. If two of those guys become stars, that was still worth it in my eyes because. This is your chance. After this, it's Who knows?
Well, if we're going to legitimately entertain this. Churio is off the market. He'd have to be in the trademark. No, he wouldn't. Yes, he would.
No, Tim. Absolutely not. I don't know who you're trading without him then. Like Freelick, Terang, Weimer, you got a hundred of these. All of them.
All of them. This file is going to be a hall. You're probably giving up three of your top ten and then Um another couple guys in your top twenty. But it's still a rental, so it's not like you're trading for a guy who has two or three years of control down the line. You're not, they're probably not going to get.
Anybody's top prospect unless you're talking about one of the worst systems in baseball. And it's just so rare. that a team like Milwaukee has such a need for a bat. And obviously Shohe's an ace. you can get that and they have a system that's so deep and set up.
This is their year. You're like, you're going to get the bandwagon fans like me to come back to start going to the ballpark. You're going to get. I mean, listen, it's two years' anniversary of the Bucs winning a title, something I never thought I'd see. What has that done?
For the box, like the prestige of them, for the prestige of the city, it turned this city upside down. If you go and acquire Perhaps, and this is not really hyperbole. Perhaps the greatest baseball player we've ever seen, what does that do for you?
Well, I do have to take a little bit of a preemptive Jerry just asked on Twitter if we're really doing this baseball game. And coincidentally, I did get an email from the brewers asking if I was interested in group sales. Those bastards. The 23rd of August. I would like, if people are free, to go to the game.
My nipples are hard. What day is that? It's a Wednesday. Twins. Yes, twins?
It's in my calendar. And it's twins, correct? Yes, but the Brewers And the twins. What if the twins traded for Otani? Then the tickets are going to go up.
So I gotta get these tickets ASAP. Don't put that into the universe. That's our guy. But even still if we get our tiny tickets go up. That's true.
Get him now. But and I would like to see, yeah, I mean, obviously, I want to see. My guys, but yeah, if I could see Shohei Otani.
Now we can have these conversations, but I think there's a 0% chance we trade for him. I think it's I don't think it's zero, but it's not higher than one. Hey God. Exactly. I think it is a very low order of probability.
I think There is some credence to maybe not bringing up Kestanhira so that he does not get exposed and perhaps creates a little more allure for a buyer. And so, you know, I mean, I know people shit on people on Twitter for suggesting that, but I think there's something to it. And it's gamesmanship. Why not? I mean, life is all theater anyway.
So, yeah, don't have him. Could you imagine Kessenhira up here showing his ass against Tywan Walker today? That would have been bad.
So whatever you can get for him, that's what I say. But, you know, maybe if you've got an apple, you're trying to sell an apple, maybe it's got a bruise on it. You put it at the bottom of the bushel, Bart Winkler. Tim loves apples. Take a bite out of that ass.
Jake knows what I'm talking about. Jake knows. I don't got to tell him. Would you want to trade here? Ah, you know maybe Bart, I want Kestan here to succeed, and I think he's had his chances here.
I love the guy. I was there a couple of times when he hit dingers, but boy, it's just not happening for him no matter how hard I pull for the guy. Maybe. Should I call him right now? I think I have his old number.
Well, to be fair about Hero. Everybody thought Yelich was dead in the water as well.
So I don't know. You never know. Baseball is nobody thought.
Okay, there's okay. Let me tell you.
So, Yelich has been great. And there is now this swarm of Brewers fans. That are trying to say, anyone who ever doubted Yelich, you don't have the right to whatever, like. There was yellows when he was good. And then Yellich sucked.
And now he's not sucking. It's okay when a guy is sucking. To say he sucks. You see, that's the beauty for someone like me who's a bandwagon fan: I can just jump on and off whenever I want, and I don't give a fuck what people say. All right, I got some comments to go through here on the Dan Shaney YouTube stream.
Yeah. Abner Uribe lit some people's pants of fire. Ball of Wynn says, Wilt rather says, Uribe is going to be fire leading up to the playoffs. That's a nice little weapon to have. You've already got your big three.
With Pyams, Pagero, and Williams. And now you can kind of match your eBay, and he'll just get more experience. You might have to pack his bags, I don't know. He's not getting traded. There's no chance.
Mark says him blowing 101 past Harper was awesome. Absolutely. KJ says his nickname for the bullpen is the Untouchables. Ayo. Good nickname.
Good nickname. Like Chad says, Yelich is back. LFG, this division is ours. Let's make some moves. There you go.
Yeah, Tim, I shit all over here saying that they're going to win this division by the middle of September, but. It's like the Reds did win. Did the Reds win today? There were a lot of, like, two nights ago, it was a bunch of great pitch hitting matchups. Teams are scoring 30 runs a game.
Then today, this afternoon. Their guy Abbott went eight innings in one hit allowed. Strider was doing pretty well for a while with the Braves. And of course, Burns, like I said. Uh, eight innings, ten strikeouts.
But yeah, Tim, maybe you were right. And maybe I believed you, and I was just trying to like drum up a little controversy. Cause I was like trying to keep my mind off of. The bus behind us in the parking lot or maybe not. Maybe I don't know.
I don't think the Reds are playing today. take a look but I'm pretty sure they're not. Yeah, well, they already did win. How about guys that are all the way back? How about Burns?
Like, today he had 10Ks, nine of which was four pitches or less. That is called locked in. Geez, you really went from not caring about baseball to throwing out stats and a heartbeat. Buddy, I'm in or I'm out. That's the thing.
Well that and he doesn't drink alcohol Bartwinkler.
So that is Yeah, it's a very large advantage. I have a quick Tim Shea question. Mm-hmm. Tim Shea, in your opinion, would you rather see the brewers particularly in September in More of the case mode needing to you know, win a lot of games rather than coasting towards the finish line uh for a playoff push. Which would you rather see?
I don't know. I mean, d a couple of years ago, didn't they uh Didn't they have pretty much the division wrapped up? It took them a while to wrap it up because they kept losing, but they had a solid lead where they could lose, and it took them. Forever days. What was the year where they lost to the Braves?
That was twenty eighteen. No. No, 2019 was the wildcard. You're right. 2021.
2021. Right. Didn't they kind of coast into that one? Yeah, they did. But it took them a while to win the division.
But then they couldn't hit for shit. Yeah. See, this gives me 19 was the Nationals, 20. Yeah, you're right. You're right.
This is great because um I wanted to remember how amazing the Sabathia run was. Like, have you ever felt better as a brewer fan than that run? Whereas now we're locked into like These Like just. Piss poor exits in the playoffs every year to where you don't even remember him anymore. Make the move, take the step, at least get the bat off your shoulder.
I felt better in 2018 than in The Sabbathia 2008. Yeah, that was soul-crushing. But 2018, it was a chase to the very, very end. And there were moves. Not all of them worked, but the scope move, which was one of the ones that did not work, but also Mike Mustakis.
Yeah, there are other moves that did work, and chips were pushed forward. I just think. Just by history, just only looking at the information available. A Craig timber that involves a chase. of any kind is much more uh Leads to more postseason success, I guess, is the way to.
I've drank three beers too. I apologize, Jake. I didn't know you were going to be on. I would have been on my game a little bit. It's not like he's going to like.
That's a weird thing that, like, when you're sober, like, people that are drunk will apologize to you for like having drinks. It's like, guys, I'm not offended. I apologize first. Right. I I also apologize to people.
I'm stone cold sober. It's my way. Hmm. I've a lot to apologize. I showed my belly at 11 o'clock on the Bart Winkler podcast 100% sober.
Look what a great moment. I've shown my belly, I've shown my ass crack, it's all good. Right, right. Oh, check this out though. I mean, I got the abstract going, but the tricep is popping.
There you go. Yeah. So, a couple other comments. Ken says, Ashley Madison is still up.
Well, now, Manny says, Tell Tim to wear a hat. He's blinding me. No. Haters gonna hate Tim. Yeah.
Isn't it great to see Tim? How about this? I love Tim. I was like, I'm not sure. It's like midnight for me I don't know.
No, it's great. I hope you watch some Women's World Cup in the overnight. Oh, see, this is the best part now. I get to watch it. World Cup.
Yeah. I watched it all. What are the games Friday morning you get to watch? Let's see. Philippines and Switzerland is at midnight, Friday a.m.
Spain, Costa Rica, 2:30. Yep. And then U.S. tomorrow night, Friday, Friday night's a big night. You got Lionel Messi, you got the women.
Where you watching it? I'll be doing Zach Elb.
Okay. I'll be doing the Zach Galb show. I was going to say, Zach Galb as in national radio, Zach Galb? Oh, listen to this, my friends. We've got the Friday Night Gelb Show.
We've got Sunday, my show. We've got Writer Than You Monday through Thursday of next week. We've got Zach Gelb again next Friday. We got another Sunday. And in between, there, I'm going to Madison three times for Forward Madison.
Who says I'm unemployed, baby? I'd argue you're more, you know. Out there now than you were. Under some pissant radio station.
So I jumped on a tweet that Armin from the game, who I fancy, I like Armin very much. Um and someone said, don't go after the station. that cause you to be irrelevant. First of all, I'm just talking to Armin. But, you know, the game's got like seven or eight people that are.
Pretty diehard about him. Fuck the game. Uh Your words. I'm trying to build bridges back. That's a very wise.
I'm going to tear him down for you, buddy. Just in case, like, what if in 30 years my kid wants to work in radio? Exactly. Build Bridges. You'll tell him no.
AI will be running every radio station in 30 years anyways, so. I'm a little concerned about AI. I'm actually very concerned about AI. It's happening really fast. It's really fast.
I actually thought about having AI right on my website. It's only making the world better, and to my robot overlords, don't believe anything these three say. They're just good people. Please have a- Don't strike me down in my. When all data is examined after the fact, and you come across this podcast.
All four of us love you, AI. Does it make me an asshole to To go back to my yellow, or not my yellowish thing, but Like the Josh Hayter trade was bad. Yeah, because I'm walking my kid to school today. fighting on Twitter like a real pro. But what I'm arguing is that people that like You can't go back and now and say, see the hater trade work because of what we got for Ruiz.
We got pie amps and we got uh Contraras. No, we didn't, but we didn't get that from Hater. David Stearns made an awful move. Traded for a guy that sucked. A guy that was cut A guy that The A is overvalued.
And then a guy that maybe, you know, we didn't trade Hayter though for. Robert Gasser.
So just because the A's overvalue ruies, suddenly it makes the hater trade better? No, hater trade was garbage. Yeah, to put it rewarded for bad behavior, which is my life's. I'm I speak out against that.
Well, it wasn't trading hater that was the bad move, it was this stupid mismatched package that you either go and get the win-now piece, the bat, or whatever, or Empty somebody's like prospects, you know, get those guys in their top 10 system. They did neither. They did a Herb Cole move where, well, we'll kind of get these prospects. Maybe they won't be as big of prospects, but we also need guys that can play now. And it's just, you're in no man's land.
You can't do that. And the almighty bite of the apple for that season was lost. The whole crux of the whole organizational mentality is that goddamn bite of the apple, and we fucking missed it that year. Yeah, and it almost put Tim Shea in a food coma from eating a bushel of apples at the stadium. I remember that.
I bet he shit that night real well though. A lot of fiber.
Well, let me see some more comments. Ken says, Bart, you should be like jokes on you. I was never relevant. That's the play that I like. It's Rocket Saw says, tell Chuck Freeman to open up the checkbook and flex some muscle with that new sports director role.
How about that? First time KFIZ has ever been mentioned in the trades. No comment. What do you mean? I sent him a text congratulating him.
Uh I can only assume uh I don't want to get it go. All right. MC says your poor kid has to go to school in July. Oh, it's daycare. Take care.
See what happens when socialism takes over? See? No, it's daycare. I needed him to go to school today because I need to go. My wife's working, and I'm going to Madison.
And I am recording a post game, and I did a podcast earlier this morning. And how can you hear what Nick Fury's saying if this kid's coming up to you while you're trying to do, you know? One more episode. Yeah. I don't I don't know what you're referencing, but I just it's a Marvel thing, so Secret invasions out, Jake.
Come on. Yeah, man, for sure. Totally. Uh let's see. Is that an AI show?
Like, I could see Marvel the whole universe. They use the credits or AI, and people are pissed that the credits are AI. I could totally. Actually, I have a theory. This whole writer strike.
I think that Hollywood is like savoring the chance to be like, let's see what this AI stuff can do while they're on strike and see if maybe we can just kind of have to strike now. They have to do it now. Yeah. Yeah, or AI will take over. But I'm sorry.
Like, I'm taking my girls to see Barbie today. I I like good for you, you're striking, but like. I can't feel bad for you when like y you know nobody's striking for me so like what No, I don't think we need to do anything. I don't think that we need to be a part of it. There's people that are like, oh, boycott movies.
I'm like, get the fuck out of here. I really want to see Barbie. It looks good. I've heard like really good things. Yeah, I have an eight-year-old girl and a six-year-old girl, so I'm hoping it's not too much like adult humor.
Well, please let me know. I'll give you my review. I would like to see it. I should take them to Oppenheimer so they can learn a thing or two, you know? You got to do the double feature.
Yeah. Just scare the shit out of him right before bed, make them think the world's coming to an end. I still Not a But I still of everything that's ever happened. That's like a top three thing that I'm like That's really something that happened. Like, not that I'm saying it, but I'm just like.
Stunned. I'm like. Why did this happen? How did this happen? Bart Winkler, if I may, I do have a degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison History, and you have to realize.
that at the time The whole world when it came to the atomic bomb was a virgin. Only A handful of people understood. The the sheer magnitude of it. Everyone else was a literal virgin. They had no one.
Well, then, why didn't we drop a second one? Again, news traveled slow in those days, and the enormity of the thing, it just. The word incomprehensible is thrown a lot around a lot these days. But the incomprehensibility At that time, it is perfectly summed up. And not only that, if it was so hard to believe Bart Winkler, why didn't they fucking surrender?
If because they didn't get it either. A country had it drop on them and they still didn't get it. I like the history. We can lean on this. Yes, and I'm, you know, and not for nothing.
Maybe if we had a third one, we'd drop it on Canada as a preemptive strike, this fucking smoking shit. That's just one man's opinion. If I'm wearing a Canadian hero right now, you better cool it. Best there is, best there was, best there ever will be. Let's go down to uh feedback.
They're low they're Toronto's below goddamn uh Uh Milwaukee for Christ's sake. I got to get down to Phoenix, Arizona, where Cone Roller is surviving a heat wave. Crazy, absolute heat wave. My bag is melting. And I see it seems like you on Twitter at least are pro the heat wave.
But I don't know. I mean, they're claiming climate change. Sure, go ahead. But they are fear-mongering. They're comparing this heat wave to.
the asteroid that knocked out the dinosaurs. I mean, let's relax a little bit. It is more energy efficient to Phoenix in this temperature than it is to heat Wisconsin during the winter.
So let's all take a step back. and just relax a little bit. The world is not ending today. No, but it I mean, a hundred and thirty degrees is pretty hot. Are you down here, Bart?
Do you live here?
Well, then fuck you for ever talking about 794. I was just in Milwaukee for a month. I have taxes. I was just in Phoenix. In March.
Was it 120 degrees? No, it was only 68 and we were pissed because we wanted it to be hotter so we could go in the pool.
Well, there you go. What was the overnight low, like 98? Yeah, I ge it's like I can't even sit on my balcony at nine o'clock at night without sweating my ass off, so But that's the world you want. Hey, I'd take the heat over the cold any day. Not 130.
Yeah. Does the dry heat help at all, Cone Roll, or does the dry heat part of it help at all?
Well, Sean, you know, towards the summer we get into monsoon season.
So there's a lot of moisture in the air.
So humidity typically increases about 10, 15%.
So we're at around 30% relative humidity. All of the people that can't afford the AC, they're just going to get cooked in their house.
Okay, if you can't afford AC and you're living in Phoenix, you got bigger issues.
Sometimes people are like born in that. You deserve to die if you can't afford it. Mm-hmm. What if what if you don't have a what if you're what if you don't have a house? Yeah.
Yeah, I always feel bad for the homeless that are out here in Phoenix, but um. You know, we just cleared a big zone of homeless people and put them up in housing.
So You know, I feel good about that at least. Yeah, I think uh How did you, did anybody listen to my show yesterday where I said I was? More taxes in every situation. Classic. Yeah.
Throwing money at it government throwing money at something does not mean the problem gets solved. More money, more problems. Scared mind on the side. A $7 billion surplus. I mean, that's free money.
It just fell out of the sky, everybody. Every problem solved! Sean, were you in trouble? I had to mute your mic. There's something going on there.
Yeah, the Mrs. O'Connell is still working today, and I got a big cloud. I smoothed it over with her. I'm a pretty, you know, I thought I hit the mic mute, but nah, it'll be right. Great Brewers win today.
2-3 in Philly. I'll take that all day. This team's hot. Is Yellich back? He's been back.
Is it fair for me to say that Contreras is not a part of the hater trade. Yes, I agree with you 100% on that, honestly. It's two separate trades, separate trades. and it doesn't justify the other one. I think it helps smooth it over now that we're past last season, but at the time, correct.
It's like you dug yourself a hole and then you found a way to get out of the hole.
Well, congratulations. David Stearns dug that hole. Matt Arnold got us out of it. Do you think David Stearns Sabotaged his own legacy so Matt Arnold had an easier transition to be the next David Stearns. David Stearns was high to regarded in such high fashion that.
How do you take over for David Stearns?
Well, you clean up his biggest fucking mess, is how.
Well, he's got another issue facing this at the end of this year with Craig Council. We'll see who. Craig's gone. We'll see who he hires. My guy Evans says Contreras is a part of the JJ Hardy trade, which is great on the shirt.
We should have. But fuck you, Evan. Right now that is against my narrative. It's Rocket Saw, says Brett the shitman heart. Wow, Hey, um Yeah.
Unbelievable. Jake. Yeah. You watch AEW last night? I did.
I think that Um Oh, our guy Grant says David Stern's Bo Ryan did. Good take. Good take. Good take. I think that AEW is strong right now.
But I'm disappointed in no one more than I am Jon Moxley. Can this motherfucker wrestle a match without having to blade? He's worse than Ric Flair. He has to bleed. Like, I don't get it.
It's just maybe it's some weird fetish thing, but Yeah, I don't know wrestling is just strong right now. Yeah. Wrestling strong. Yeah. The uh The brewers are strong.
The Madison forward, how are they looking this year? Forward, Madison. They're not supposed to start up. Hard can't wait. I can't wait for hard knocks, guys, because.
Jets fans are gonna get that first inkling of like. I don't know, something's off about this guy. Um Yeah, it Should I unretire and do hard knocks post-game shows? I'm here for it. We well bartend.
Bukowski, Zach Zachibson, they're all gonna be doing it.
So. Why not add to the fire? I feel like. What like it's noble for me. to try to say Don't lean on Aaron Rodgers for clicks.
But What if I did? I have a figure. I think it would be okay. I think you have a, you've covered him long enough, and there is enough of a market, local market, where you could talk inside baseball, and you would have kind of a niche. a niche audience that would appreciate it.
Some guy goes, who is this guy I responded to? Pack Daddy PackerNet Podcast goes. Let me just put this out there right now. If you're emotional. incapable of hearing about Rogers, block me now.
I'm not about to put up with these soft Packer fans that can't emotionally handle hearing his name. The guy played for us for 15 years. I'm interested in his story. He is tied into our draft. But again, if this is too traumatic for you to handle, block me.
I promise I won't lose a minute of sleep over it. Yeah. So he's he I he's at like the beginning of the cycle. of the journey that I think I've taken on Twitter. Where now I'm feeling like I want to Rectify relationships.
And not go out there and Ask the world to be like, block me. You know what he sounds like? Is one of these guys that like calls himself an alpha and calls everybody else snowflakes, but's offended by like beer commercials and shit? Like. That's what he sounds like to me.
Like Dan Needles? Mm-hmm. We've got Tim, the Sean O'Connell, the Cone, Hot Take Jake, and we have boots on the ground. Oh. Oh.
Big Ron is Turn it down, Ron. Turn it down Rod. Oh, I gotta turn it down.
Okay, uh Can you hear me now? Yeah, we good. Yeah, we good. Okay, we're good now. Yeah, I have the radio up.
No. Yeah. Everything is good. Just everything. Only Ron speaks.
Only Ron speak. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus. Ron, who's echoing me? Yeah, I can.
How do I do this? What do I do? Uh hold on, I'm gonna mute everyone that's not Ron. Ron? Oh, he muted himself.
Jesus What year did the smartphone come out? 2003? Run. Jake, unhook your phone from the car from Jake R. Unhook your phone from the car.
Whoever's in the back is over. Oh, that was going to be epic. Oh No stay ever in the Winklerverse. Help him back. I have nothing else to contribute, Bart Winkler.
I'll drop off. I love you guys. I hope Ron comes back. That way, maybe a little more bandwidth will help that situation. All right, yeah, you go and I'll see if there's room for Ron.
See you, Sean. Right on. Take care, fellas. Love you guys. I'm going to drop two, Bart, but you know, it was great meeting you in person in the flesh.
I did meet Cone. I met Cone Roller in person. Breaking news. With the bag. We got a picture together without the It exists.
Maybe one day. I'll post it randomly and say, here's me and my new friend that I just met randomly. And then you'll have to figure out if it's cone or not. Only after Wisconsin Sports Championship. Bags coming off.
Matt is hyperventilating somewhere right now. Mm-hmm. He is. And that's why I wanted to get it out there that I, Matt and Falls, I did meet your hero, Bart Winkler. And with that, I'm going to peace out.
Go, Brewers. Stay cool. Yeah, I'll drop two, but I wanted to get my prediction out there. I think it's going to be around Week 10. Where Jets fans are going to start having the discussion of like You know, if Rodgers plays X amount of snaps, we have to give up our first-round pick.
Should we start Wilson now?
So that's my uh prediction there. Week 10-ish. All right, hot take Jake.
So you? We had to clear all the bandwidth possible to try to get Ron back. Oh, I'm back in. You're here. You're good.
You are good. You're good. I hear you. Run. Ron, we hear you.
We hear you.
Okay, can you hear me? Yes. Yes. Okay, is it is there like feedback? Is it good?
Is everything good now? It's not good, but I'm going to let you talk for as long as you want, and then I'll have to let you go. Give me your updates. Tell me what the game's tell me. Tell me what the game was like.
Tell me what the game was like. The game was great. The Philly fans were very nice and hospitable, unlike their reputation. And um Yeah, it was good. Corbin was great.
He pitched a shutout, eight innings, a bunch of ten strikeouts. Um got CLE hit a bomb. It was a good time, man. How many games did you go to? How many games did you go to?
How many games did you go to? How many games did you go to? How many games did you go to? How many games did you go to? Can you not hear me though?
Yeah. I can't ask you questions because it'll just keep talking. All right, what else is there to talk about? You know, we were going to call into the Bill Michaels show, but after we heard those terrible things he said about you in the podcast this morning. We were like, forget about that, man.
And you know, this myth that Chuck Freeman is at every game, I didn't see him in Philly here.
So I don't know what's going on with that, man. And uh Um Yeah, so no, it was good, man. I'm sorry that we're having all these technology problems. I don't know. I just hit the screen.
No, we are not. No, we are not. I am. You are. Nice.
Nice. Thanks, Bart. Thanks, Bart. So I've got my boys Dave and Shawnee in here. Yeah.
So um They're in town visiting from Wisconsin. We're gonna we're gonna tie one on tonight. Yeah, I've never actually seen you in a state where you're good enough to be behind a wheel. You're not good enough to be behind a wheel. Yeah.
That is very true. That is very true. You've got sober, big Ron, today, man. Like I'm meeting a new person. I'm meeting a new person.
Yeah. This pretty planet. Span in through space. I'm harming that. I'm harming that.
I got Christina Aguilera's voice on my ways going strong here.
So, um No, so we got two hours drive back to where I live in Jersey, in North Jersey. And then we're going to hit the bars tonight, Bart. We're going to drink one for you, and we're going to drink one for Tim Shea. I like that. I like it.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Um yeah, yeah. Big time.
So, the Brewers take this is a big series, man, with the Braves coming up. This is a huge series because I don't think we're going to fare very well against the Braves. They're the best team in MLB. And uh Um So it says 295 this way. Right?
Alternate? Oh, alternate two ninety five. I don't know. Uh we'll figure it out. Yeah, we'll just we'll figure it out.
All right, well, Ron, I'm gonna bid you.
Well, Ron, I'm gonna bid you adieu. All right, man. Peace. Great to meet you guys. Great to meet you guys.
Take care. Big round. They could not. That's great stuff. The Brewers do have the Braves this weekend.
It will be Freddy Peralta against Michael Soroka. Adrian Hauser. Against TBD. Julio Tehran has the magic run out on him. Uh against Bryce Elder.
And then, you know, that'd be a nice Sunday night baseball matchup, unfortunately. We haven't had one of those in a while. And every time that we do, they just come and marvel at the slide for four innings. And then we got the Reds again for the last time of the season. Tim, your Reds.
Don't forget when the Braves come to town, everything pot a lot of me gets covered up. Oh, I didn't realize that. Take a look next time if you're ever at a Braves game in Milwaukee. I just Think the Brewers need to be more held accountable for the time they wore Braves' uniforms as throwbacks played the Braves. Oh, I remember that.
Some decisions that were made during my tenure there were quite questionable, like Peanut Tillman throwing out a first pitch against. The cops. Mm-hmm. This man now does a minimum of six hours of radio a day. He is Grant Bills.
I have a bone to pick with him. What, Tim? I'm listening to the Bill Michaels show today. And you're giving updates. And stuff that already, it's like the score wasn't even correct.
You were wrong. Yeah, like Yellow just hit You just said Yellins just hit another double. And uh the Phillies were up. Tim, what station were you listening on? 920 W O K Y.
Yeah. Oh, now you tell me. And I heard you talking about it.
Now I tell you. And then wrong info, just wrong information. Time's going to listen to this podcast tomorrow and be like, you guys were talking about it like the game had just ended. But it's Friday now. You guys were talking about it.
And then you guys started talking about corn, and it's like the fifth inning. And like, what an idea. Um You and Bill, such a great duo. I don't drive the bus, man. I'm just the producer.
You and Bill make a great, great duo there. I don't appreciate your tone, Tim, behind what he's saying right now. This is a Crow Bill Michaels podcast. You better watch what you say, or else I won't help you. Yeah, I do want to get that guy from CBS 58 on to talk about the stadium financing.
He does good work. I know. Don't worry. Tim's mad at me because I admitted that I didn't save his number the last time we talked on the phone, so I had to ask for it again. You didn't save Tim's number?
No, and I had his number ready to go. That's because I knew you would. You're. No, you're a better man than me. I guess.
Exactly. Thanks for listening. Where are you booking? Uh well I was trying to get uh AJ from CBS 58, because he has all this. the good details on the comments from the alderman in Milwaukee.
Not a cent, not a penny. of taxpayer money going to stadium repairs. Yeah. Anyways. I really I'm pro-taxes, all taxes.
You're probably excited. This is a big week for you, then, with the sales tax going into effect in Milwaukee. Sales taxing up, the county tax is going to go up.
Sometimes I just like leave Uh if I have spare change I just leave them at uh Yeah. Fire station's doorsteps. Yeah. But I disguise it as a baby in a bundle, and then they open it up, and it's a pack of ones. I will say something I don't do.
Something I never do. is round up My purchases for charity at the stores. Yeah, I don't do that. Because I will give charity on my own time. And get the tax advantages.
To me, I'm not giving you money so that you can get tax write-offs. I am going to do that on my own. By the way, when is the Bart Winkler Show going to do some charitable work? I think it's time. We've been around for about a year now.
Let's start giving back to the community that gives you so much. What do you say? I would, and if Cohn was still here, I would like to. Raise money to all the people that don't have air conditioning units in Phoenix. I'm sure he told you that air conditioning has never been this efficient before, and air conditioning is much more efficient than heating.
which is what we have to do in Wisconsin. Yep, and it costs 25%. Yeah. But Cohn did like my anti-Contreras is not part of the hater trade movement, which. put them in good favor.
When I see the trade breakdowns, it's like they traded a stereo wheels for blah, blah, blah. It's like, no, no, no, no. I want to see they traded a stereo wheeze and gave up on their 2022 season. in order to get that like that needs to be included. And they basically got a season.
It was with a team like the A's who don't know what the fuck they're doing. I mean, that's good business. It's good. If you're an exec, I mean, you should just always try to be making deals with teams like that, cheap teams or teams that don't care, don't know what they're doing.
So 100%.
So, Tim, which might blow your mind because we're going to, I'm going to have this quick conversation on Thursday, but then this is part of the Friday podcast.
So, don't get too alarmed. But. After I'm done here, I'm going to actually drive Grant's way and go to the Steve. Oh, you're at the Steve tonight. Yeah.
Will Grant be joining you? I don't know. So I am going to call, they play a Mexican side. And I'm doing the like substitution forward Madison, number 20. But then I have to hand it off to a guy and he's going to do the Spanish translation.
And I said, well, I want to do that. They said, well, do you know Spanish? I said. My kid's in a Spanish immersion daycare. I can read Spanish.
All I'm doing is reading. I can read. I just don't want to. You put a microphone in someone's hand and you ask them to pass it off in any situation, and there's a little bit of a little bit of a hesitation to do that. Grant, what are you typing?
You should never type when you're on air. I suppose I am on air. Just Thoughts from my show. I'm trying to, I don't know, dude. I'm trying to prep, but.
I kind of just want to start my my show so I can just do it and Go home. I'm kind of you're producing from 10 to 2. Uh-huh. You're doing your own show from four to six.
Okay. Does it help make the prep easier or harder? Are you worried about recycling topics? Are you finding new topics that you wouldn't have otherwise found? Uh probably a little bit of both.
Um Probably a little bit of both. Yeah. I don't know. I don't think it's made it much harder or easier. Before I was doing Bill's show, I was.
basically just sitting at a desk with my computer writing stuff. And doing the same thing, anyways.
Now I'm just listening to Bill and occasionally chiming in. I don't want to be overbearing. You know, sometimes, and I love, love Radio Joe. You know this.
Sometimes Radio Joe would crack the mic and he'd get rolling and he would roll and roll and roll. I'm trying to be a little bit more efficient with my in and outs, trying to get in, say my thing, and get out. you know very very sharp and clean Anyhow. You're basically Learning, you're speaking two languages. You got the two-chair language and the host-chair language.
It is a good skill to have. I don't often get to host with people side by side. I've guessed some, but that's not the same.
So it's good. It's good practice to. To play off of someone else rather than force someone else to play off of me. You know what I mean? Let me uh do a quick A promotional Announcement for someone.
Okay. And then I'm going to go. Uh I mean, I can go now. I don't have to. I just mostly wanted to say hi to Tim because it had been a while.
And Tim, I texted you earlier today. Thank you for saving my number. Your number has been saved. And I will not forget it again. Thank you, Tim.
