Good morning, everybody. My name is Bart Winkler. This is the Bart Winkler Show. And for the first time in a long time. Tim Shea is here for what he says.
will be the duration. Eventually. The show Tim Shea, ladies and gentlemen, Tim Shea. First time in a very long time. What's up with your picture?
You're glowing today, your outline. Yeah, StreamYard sucks. With a green screen. Like when I don't know how to do that on my phone. Like 'cause I use my phone.
I'm getting really annoyed. Yeah. Yeah, I am glowing. I'm more Mr. Burns alien.
Than ever. If you're on the Dan Shaney insurance stream. This knife will come into play later. Don't get the wrong idea. Dan Shaney Insurance brings us the video streaming danshaney.com, which is brand new.
Thanks to my guys at SunAnt. Interactive. Tim, how are you? Brewers win 4-0 against the Astros. That's two straight shutouts against the Astros for the crew.
Second time this year that's happened. First time was against the Mets. Saw that stat right before it came on. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah.
April 3rd and 4th. I just can't tell you. How much it means to me. To watch the Milwaukee Brewers win. I am so.
Invested in this team. Every pitch this season has just been so riveting. What a fun. Is this a less? I don't want to talk about this, but.
I don't know. Part I'm just glad it ended at like. What, 220? It's too funny. Yeah, for Yes, I wanted it to end early so I could do the show and then.
Go about my day, but Like, if we would have gone to the game today, I'd be pissed. Why? Because the game ended too early? Yeah, you want to be at the game? This is great!
The Brewers have admitted they are down 5%. Who cares? Great, good. In uh, they'll make it up somehow where they I don't know, they'll build another golf, maybe they'll build a golf course in in Wrightfield. I don't know.
Who cares? They'll figure it out. I'm thinking of protesting the Paige Sporanic Bobblehead night. Seasoned ticket holders better be ready for a. Hike in tickets next year, by the way.
Why? Well, if they're losing money, they're going to make it up. They're going to have to. Oh, no, Schlesinger said, oh, it's not affecting us too bad.
Okay. Brewers won a day 4-0. Paige sporadic bobblehead. Adrian Hauser looked pretty good. Two hits only.
Yeah. Five and a third.
Now, is there a reason he only went 73 pitches? I just don't think they're comfortable with him, you know, letting letting him loose yet. I mean, the whole half of the pitching staff is dead and they still don't trust him. Yeah. I don't understand that.
Maybe we'll ask Craig and they'll. Postgame here. Yeah, maybe we'll get uh Craig on. Hot take Jake is at the gym. Yeah.
Hey boys. What's up, Jake? I missed him. I wanted to take a little bit of time off from the Winklerverse, but I just missed him so much that I couldn't resist. And I have to.
address something so. You're not even a Brewer fan. No, no, that's not true. I'm a bandwagon brewer fan, so Which is I think that's what I'm becoming. Yeah, it's the best thing to do, because then you don't have to waste your time with it.
And then when they're good, you could be like, Yeah, let's go. And then when they're not, you can be like, Oh, I told you so. Yeah. And it's not like, you know, how I'm watching the MCU from scratch. It's not like there's ref If I just start watching in September.
What do I need to know how the games went and made? Who cares? Right.
Well, and what's really funny is like. My following of the brewers is like: I see updates on Twitter of just how terrible they are and how embarrassing all these losses are. And then I look today and they're in first place. Yeah, well, the thing with following the Brewers night in and night out is like if they lose two in a row, everybody starts to panic. And then when they lose three in a row, they lost three in a row last week.
And it was a disaster. There was a bad losing streak. Yeah, that was so that was bad. They lost six in a row. But if you lose one to the Cardinals and then two more to the Rays, like It's a long season.
We gotta relax. Anyway, what do you have to get off your test?
Well, I heard they signed like Armando Benitez or something like that. Who is it? Julio Tehran.
Okay, yeah, yeah. Same thing. He might pitch on Thursday. Good on him. Julio lives.
First things first. Rest in peace, Tina. Tina Turner just breaking now that she passed away. I put her up there. Yeah, Tina Turner died, Tim.
And I wasn't even sleeping. No, she was 83. 83. It's a good run, especially for somebody that, you know, had a life like she did. I put her up there as, you know, Freddie Mercury's the greatest male performer of all time.
Gina's the greatest female performer of all time.
Now, if you're Grant Bills, he'll probably be like, what? It's Drake and Iggy Azalea. Wow, unnecessary. That's what I'm saying. No, no, no, because that's my main reason: I wanted to get off the whole LeBron MJ thing because, as you know.
To argue LeBron is just silly. I mean, it's absolute silliness. But it's like the godfather. Every time I'm out, they just keep pulling me back in. Like, I'm not asking to be name-dropped on your show, but clearly I've hit a nerve with some of these people.
And I finally figured it out. That's just guys like Grant, that's his guy. Like, I forget that Grant is a child. I'm a little bit. LeBron's my guy.
I'm your age. Yeah, but he's not really. I think, because you said you switched recently, right? And there's been nothing that should feasibly make you switch.
So I think a. I don't know if you're curting for content or what, but I don't believe you are. No, LeBron's LeBron. LeBron's better than Jordan. No, and then you know, even a guy older than me, Dan Bernstein on the score, was talking about this yesterday in Chicago, in Chicago, where he says, Well, that tells me everything Jordan does on a court, LeBron does.
This is a brewer's show. Everything you need to know. I mean, he's just trying to get clicks. But I had to address it because I was called out by name.
So I forget that these people are children. They didn't really watch. I'm the right age where I saw both guys. And he's on another tier. And when I said top 10 to 15, it's because I put him in the same tier as you got Mike, who's just.
All alone. Nobody touches them. I just want new viewers to know this is not a repeat. Mirror.
Well, this is new, so I'm going to tell you my tiers. The next tier is like guys like Kareem, Magic, Bird, like. You know, the ones that like were consistently there. Uh, Shaq would be in that tier, Tim Duncan, and then LeBron's in like that third tier of like, you know, really, really good players. But, like, I'll take Jake, everybody.
Thank you. Thank you. Never somebody you fear. You know, he didn't like, he couldn't just. I'm the people's chant, man.
Nice CM Punk shirt. Yeah, I'm rocking the goat. We're one of the goats, and then I got the Bret Hart uh shaker cup here, the other goat. My two dollars.
Well, get your sweat in. I'm working on it. Glad to see you, bud. Just I just want you to know I don't sweat what the children say anymore. You were called out.
I'm glad you responded. Thank you, Jake. Of course, I had to. I miss them. The people's champ.
Goodbye, James. Don't be a stranger. Never. Yeah, this is like old times. I mean, sorry.
It's only been a week. Yeah, well, things never change. Grant says: first of all, don't slander Drake. Ah, Grant. This guy's name is Caid Friggard.
Saw you at Qdoba on Oakland fairly recently. Almost pooped my pants. I was at Qdoba last week. I was in a really bad mood last week, and all that was going to make me happy was Qdoba, which I had been Jones in for a month. I'm a Chipotle fan.
Well, I'm a Chipotle, uh, Qdoba guy, so I went to Qdoba. And yeah, my son was with us. He should say hi. Family trip? Say hi.

The Sean O'Connell. Hi. You guys hear me okay? As good as ever. Oh yeah.
All right. Did either of you guys watch the game? I guess this is a Brewers post-game show.
Okay. I'm here to talk about the Brewers. I'd like to talk about a few things, including... Brewers pitching uh woes. Injury-wise, and also If you guys are buying into this.
Uh What's his name? Owen Miller. Yeah. Wisconsin's own baby. He's from Bekwan, you know.
Right, he's gonna paint us into the Wisconsin guy. Mark corner because I was in that corner with Craig Counsel. for many a year and I would not hear. Rick from Oshkosh, pour out a little liquor. I would not hear any of his besmirchment.
But now I'm starting to think. Rick wasn't all wrong. And, but as far as Owen Miller goes, you know. The body of evidence that we have with him as a brewer is very good. And um A good friend of Bart Winkler, and I'm sure You as well, Tim, is Tim Allen, the franchise.
And Who uh continually calls Craig Counsel. The cooler. And and Both me and Tim were not happy with how council the cooler. Yes, because he will cool off a hot streak. Faster than anybody will.
And the and I mean, he'll take Rowdy out of the lineup simply because Lefty on Lefty went. Even though everybody else on the team stinks against lefties.
So So, yeah, it was. I was very happy with Craig Council putting Owen. In the cleanup spot. I mean, that was fantastic. And the guy, and then the guy produced on top of it all.
Yes, that's right, Bart Winkler. And we could also say that in the last 15 games, he's hit in fourteen of them, and that's nothing to sneeze at either. Good to see Wisconsin guys do well. The only way I could be happier with both those guys if maybe if they're they were from the North Woods, like you know early that area, the 715. The forgotten segment of Wisconsin that only gets remembered during deer season and tax season.
Mm. Tax season. Sure. Gotta pay them taxes, Barb Winkler.
So Owen Miller, like... When this is happening, he's been very good. He's hitting 400 in the month of May. His OBP is 407. That's weird.
That means he's not walking. He's one walk.
So he's hitting 400 in the month of May. It's got three home runs. Um And this is before today.
So Tuesday, he went three for four. He had that great play where he went from second to home. Hit a home run in that game too. Gets in the four spot, like you said, Sean. And hits a home run.
I still, I think we've seen this a lot. with these middle infielders like The native Saladino. And Salt. Yeah. And Eric Sogard.
Mm-hmm. that I don't know that I don't know that I buy into the long-term success of Own Miller, but then he's also. Maybe he's less of a journeyman. He's only 26. It feels like he's been in the league a lot longer.
But he's just with Cleveland for a couple years. And I don't. I don't think I knew much about him. Coming up the ranks, it's not like I've been following his career. Maybe I saw him on TMJ4 with Lance Allen eight years ago, and that's why I think I've known him forever.
Oh, I mean, CBS 58 with Kevin Holden. Uh so many years ago. Thank you. Cheese. Yes, my first Owen Miller experience, I want to say, was.
The second game of the season, and I said, Who's this fucking asshole? I'm pretty sure.
Well, he hit a home run in back-to-back days. What do you say now? Yeah, I mean, we need more fucking assholes. That's what I see. Yeah, the more the better.
Jesus God, I mean, there's enough fucking assholes watching them and talking about them. May as well get them on the field, Part Winkler. You know, one of the things with the brewers, the way they build their rosters, is they need guys. They get all these randos, but they need if all of them produce above average or even better. That's how they'll contend and be good.
I still I still think we're going to look back and say, remember that May Owen Miller had? Remember when Brett? I don't. trust any of these guys to be doing this in September. Or even like be on the team.
I just I don't I don't look at Owen Miller and see what he does and think. We've got our second baseman of the future or our Right, I just I Maybe it's I've seen too many of these. Fucking assholes. And I hear you, Bart Winkler, and we do see it every single year. Billy McKinney, remember that dude?
Um You know, we barely. I'm still scarred by Brad Nelson, and then everybody like. You guys all wanted Luke Voigt on the big league roster. And then the minute he goes out for four, you all are like, why'd the Brewers keep him? Because you were begging for him, dude.
Yeah. I'm begging for it. There was a very vocal majority. That was, you're 100% correct. I was not really a fan.
I think Luke Voigt is proving to be a foray kind of fella, along with in the Kestanhira thing, where, yeah, he's going to tear up down there and then struggle up here. And it, but then have his fan base that pines and lobbies form. But regardless, It is still May. I enjoy watching the brewers. I did hear the other night some chatter both.
Facebook, I am not on Twitter.
So it was Facebook that the Dunn Club is out already. Good Lord, people. I know we're not even a third of the way in. And um and now Bart Winkler that I and and also Tim.
Now that I got you both here. Do you think there will be a contract extension? For Craig Council, do you think he will be back? Because boy, oh boy, I'm with you, Tim. I see you shaking your head there.
I think he wants to break away and live the good life. He wants to go watch his kids play.
Something he hasn't been able to do for the last How many years? Twenty years since, you know, since they've been playing Little League. Sure. Yeah, I think if he was going to be the manager next year, he'd be locked into that already, doesn't he? Right, yeah, and yeah, like I said, I'm a Wisconsin guy, Mark.
I was a Mark.
However, I I don't think he's the guy. I think he's the he's the the player that uh Or the manager that the players want.
However, Yeah. If you're a GM or something like that, you don't always want that. you want the guy that sometimes to get over the hump to be winners. You do need the guy who's going to take a bite out of your ass and not give you an enormously long leash. Because if we've learned anything.
From the documentary movies Rocky 1, 2, and 3, Mickey was not very nice to Rocky most of the times. He was yelling at. and get trying to make him be better. not be not be Bye. He wasn't trying to get Rocky to be friends with Mr.
T, he was trying to get him to knock him out of his ass. That's That's just one man's opinion, Bart Winkler. And Tim.
Well, I like it, Chung. Good to see you. Yes, sir. Take care. Love you guys.
Love you too. As the headphone falls out of his ear. The Sean O'Connell. I guess. You know, we can have the craig council conversation, but.
If it's not Craig, then who? Uh Who's the first base coach? Quentin Berry? Yes, they they brought him up. They elevated him because apparently he's going to be or he was and is going to be a hot name.
Quick Barry is the brewer that struck out at the plate in twenty seventeen, people forget. I know. What about Matt Erickson? Isn't he on the. Is he?
I have not. He's a former Timber Rattlers guy. Yeah, I was going to say, isn't he with the Timber Rattlers? Former Yeah, I think so. Uh, Tim, guess what I got in the mail?
I'm gonna Oh, I know. I saw it on Twitter earlier. But I'll play the game. What? By the way, a shout out to one of my coworkers who's watching right now.
His name is Sam. Sam, uh I just follow him on Twitter. Yeah. Omaha meats. Omaha steaks is what they rebranded as last night, Tim.
Omaha Steaks. Omaha meats. Omahan me. Guys, get your delicious Omaha meats. Yeah.
Omahameats.com That's right. They've got great packages including this one which you can get And then when you get it, you get $30 off with the promo code BART. Are you going to show us your meat? Mm-hmm. You wanna see my meat?
Let's see the meat. Ooh, it's chill. Here's the apple tartlets. Yeah. What do you want?
Should I eat one raw? Ooh, the seasoning, bro, Chief. Nice. Nice. Yeah.
How is it going? You're a month into the new job. Yeah, it's going good. It's going good. It's been a couple slow days here in the city of Milwaukee.
Not a lot going on, which I guess is good. You know what I spent most of my day doing was. blocking people that are apparently Dan O'Donnell heads. Yeah, you probably one thing about that guy. Are they coming after you?
Here we go. Here's the uh Pork chops. Nice, nice heart, nice chops. Hey, that's sexist.
Sorry. I put a picture about your podcast and all the other podcasts. What? you know, like put a picture up with the with your chops and say The Bart Winkler Show podcast, and then another one with like me with it, which chops on and says, all the other ones. podcast shows.
Yeah, that'd be fucking hilarious. Right.
I put a Dan O'Donnell picture. All of a sudden, there's people in my mentions fighting about like. Clothes you can buy at Target. I'm like, get a fucking life, man. All right, um Brewers win.
For nothing today. This is a Brewer post-game show. I'm trying to stay as focused as I can on the Brewers. And even though we've already discussed about. My tits.
And LeBron versus MJ. And. If the scoreboard is correct. You need to check. I haven't checked in a while, but they were losing the Pirates.
We're losing. Oh, don't be scoreboard watching. I'm just saying. Let's gain another game in the stands. Standings.
Get that magic number lower one game at a time Who is Sean listening to that people are talking about Dunn Club? Yeah, I'd like to know because Yeah. Anyone that listened to your show last week. Heard what I said. The Brewers play in the absolute weakest division in baseball.
You know, one thing that I want to mention here. Is um We've been talking about them all week, but Breton Tosa Is he here? No, I don't know. I don't know if he'll be here. I don't know if he is here.
But there was a tweet when the Brewers signed Julio Tehran. And he had commented, Oh, great. We're gonna get rid of Woody and Burns and all these guys, aren't we? And I wanted to ask him about where he's. Making that correlation.
I know they were in first last year and they traded a bunch of guys and I know that They're really banged up right now, but. I don't see anything that has happened so far with the Brewers. To make me I I feel I feel there is a weird Vibe with what's happening with the Brewers. And I don't understand why they're in first place. They're not like 100 games over 500.
They're 27 and 22. That's really only three out of what the Dodgers are. Two out of what the Braves are. I mean, we could, instead of talking like, One or two seed. I think we're going the other way and expecting.
As we watch this series. And the season were like expecting the other shoe to drop. At some point, maybe it's because of last year, maybe it's because of the last 10 years. I'm just not certain why. There is that mentality right now, unless I'm picking up the wrong reading.
Do you think people are being weird about the Brewers? I just, I. They're being cautiously optimistic. I think they're being aggressively pessimistic. Yeah.
As in what? Saying that they're Like going my route, saying that there's no way they miss the playoffs. God, I waited a month for you to come back for sure.
Sorry. All right, let me ask you this. What are the top Three. Things. If if my job on sports radio was to get people fired up about the Brewers.
Like A c like Controversial topics. What are the topics I'm coming up with?
Well, you're gonna trade Burns and Woodruff this year. I don't that that I think this year I think that j I don't Yes, unfortunately, yes. I think that they shouldn't. But I bet one of them does get traded. I mean, Burns has been pitching poorly.
And maybe they kick him to the curb inside the time you throw a bunch of money at him. This is what you do. Woodruff I Woodruff was getting so he was. He had that one clunker to start the season, but those next two were. As good as you're going to get out of it.
I just feel like the patience around this team is very thin.
Well, it was, I mean, I think you have to blame that trade last year. When you were in first place, up three, four games. Yeah, well that was Stern's fault.
Well, that was Mark's fault. That idiot was on the broadcast again today. Hey, Giutrip. Colonoscopy yet? No.
Was he with uh oh, what's his name? Oh, the guy's a crook too. Why is he a crook? Mulkin or Malt? Yeah, go look him up.
What's wrong with that guy? He did he did some hard time in jail. What? Why? If you can remember his name.
Go back and look look him up. They kept saying he used to be Mark's boss. Yeah, gold, he embezzled a lot of money. What's a w what? If you remember his name.
I'll never forget one year because he's been doing this Father's Day prostate cancer thing. Is this like real knowledge, or is this real? No, yeah, this is real. I'm being 100% truthful. If you remember his name.
I can't at all. When I go watch the replay again at work at 2:30 tomorrow morning. Um text you the name and send you the links. It's crazy. No, I want to do this now.
This is what's interesting. I'm like desperately trying to come up with some brewer. content. I already talked about Owen Miller for 18 seconds. I already mentioned Julio Tehron.
I don't know my Twitter path. Oh. You know what? I might just pivot and stop talking about the Brewers. Why?
Like in today's show right now. Do you think Mike Milken? Mike Melcom. Look him up. Mike Milken.
Crazy. Hey, Cone, Cone just texted me. Cone, get in here. Put your bag on and get in here. Criminal.
Mike Milken was indicted for. I'm racketeering and securities fraud in 1989. Insider trading. He went to jail for 10 years. Oh.
He was pardoned by Trump. Oh, he wasn't he was. Shut up. He was pardoned by Trump in 2020. Yeah, that means you can't bring any of this up.
Oh. Okay. That means none of this matters. His whole Wikipedia needs to be changed. He's pardoned.
Yeah. But he used to be Mark Antonasio's boss, they said. I had no idea about that. I like every once in a while I would get information on him and Be like, oh yeah, him. Ugh.
Did you have to like show him around town and stuff? Not around town, but like we had to be in charge of him on the field. Was he nice at least? Yeah, he's nice. He Yeah.
Yeah, nice, a nice guy. He would just like get away and roam around the field. But he was Mark's guest, so. Did he like Steel shit? I know.
Not that I know. I just I think people I don't think they don't care. Do you think people don't care about the brewers? Again, we're going back to this conversation that we had last week. That Because they're in an easy division, they should make the playoffs.
And then, when it comes to playoff time, they're going to get rocked. God, I just don't hear cones here.
Okay. See, I told you. Put on the pen. Save the show like you did the other night. I think where the Brewers really went down is the minute Tom Hodgercourt retired.
Mm-hmm. And if we're talking about Trump, you can't help but mention Benedict Trump. Benedict Donald. Benedict Donald, whatever the hell it is. How many people do you think?
Okay. Followed Tom Hodricourt. For the 40 years he covered the Brewers, have been with him since the Journal and the Sentinel and the '82, and follow him on Twitter. And then the minute he leaves Milwaukee. He spends his whole day.
quote tweeting about Trump. And how many people do you think They were just like they thought they lost a A brother. Um I'm not sure how many because I think the older crowd that probably followed him from. you know Actually, never mind, quite the opposite. Probably a huge crowd, because the crowd that followed him from paper to paper is probably.
Huge Trump fans. Yeah. It's a pretty known fact that if you ever ordered a newspaper and got it delivered, you're more likely to vote for the GOP. That's the fact that I saw. Interesting.
Mm-hmm. Well, what's up, Cohen? Did you watch today's affair or no? No. You know, I'm really, I want to serve, and I've seen you, I want to serve the people like Brett.
that aren't getting enough brewers talk. But I'm trying to talk about the brewers. And I'm just boring myself. Bart How much on average per week? How many hours of Marvel content do you consume?
Yesterday I watched Black Panther, Black Widow, and Spider-Man.
So what is that? 10 hours? That was six.
Okay. Uh today I watched the first episode of The Punisher. And that's probably what I'll do after I'm. Uh done with you boys.
So is spending two hours watching a brood. brewer game and talking about it out of out of the realm of possibility. No I don't want this to be the show. I want to, I want to. I want to serve the brewer's audience.
Let me tell you what I texted Grant and Scott earlier today. Service. Let me tell you. Hold out. Do this.
Pretend you are at the station. And it's let me first tell you this. Let me first.
Okay, all right, go. Grant. And I hope he doesn't mind. He says brewers are cooking with gas RN. Which means Right now?
Correct. I said Have these games always been this boring? Do I hate baseball? I said, I would much rather watch NBA or my Marvel binge knocked out Black Panther, Black Widow, and Spider-Man yesterday. It was a good day.
God. Maybe you need a job. This is my job. During the day. I work for CBS Sports Radio.
Okay. It's 558. You walk into the studio, you look at me and say, Let's grill this team. Let's go. Let's talk about the brewers.
Grill or talk about you? What would you, how would you start your show? And what would you say? That's how I think you need to approach these. Yeah.
Okay, first of all, it's 5.58. I'm not at work yet. I know, sorry, 550, 930.
Okay. You're pulling up to the lot and I'm having a heart attack.
Okay. Alright, go.
Now he's now he's going to start show now. What is he doing? He ruined his mic. Is this a bit or is this my? It is.
It's a bit. I think. No, I think you actually. I think you got to unplug it. There we go, yeah.
Holy moly. All right. So how are you opening the show? Brewers just won. Everybody.
It's time to shake the legs and rock the docks. My name is Bart Winkler, and we are ready to talk the Brewers first. 4-0 over the Astros. Tim, this game flew by yesterday, two hours. I love it.
Get in, get out, get these Brewers a win, and send those Astros packing. What do you think? Great. Went two out of three. Got the Giants coming in for four.
I'm right now hometown hero with another home run. I'm looking at this team right now, and I'm loving that they picked up Julio Turan. Probably going to get to start on Thursday. I know they've been a little banged up, but I think, I don't think it's too early right now to start thinking. What pieces can we add at the deadline?
What pieces should we be acquiring? 414-799-1250. 414-799-1250. I think they were burns. We changed the number.
We changed the number. 677-1250. There we go. Let's see. Cone roller's on the phone.
Cone, what's up? What's going on, brother man? I would say that, you know, with the injuries to Eric Lauer, Brandon Woodruff, some of our other pitching staff, you know, almost getting them back around the all-star break is as good as a trade deadline acquisition.
So, Brewer fans, I think we got to sit, we got to stay put, no moves. Ride out the storm, and then when those guys come back, it's just like adding brand new talent to this team. Yeah, why trade for guys at the deadline when you have guys coming back? Exactly. Exactly.
I think that's massive. Let's see. We have a tweet here from Mike the Painter. He says, Bart, I think Owen Miller is the real deal. Love this guy.
P.S. What's up with Hodra Court's Twitter feed lately? Mike, I'm not too sure about that, but I do want to say that Owen Miller. Look, I've seen the Nadorfs, and I've seen the Eric Sogards, and I've seen the. You know, the Tony Graffaninos, but this one's gonna stick.
I really do believe in Owen Miller being the guy. That said, there are a lot of issues that I have with this Brewers team. I do not like that they traded Josh Hayter. I am a little worried about some of the other things they're doing. David Stearns is on the phone.
Hi, David. I love you, and you're the greatest. Keep doing what you're doing. All right. Thank you, David Stearns.
It's here on the Great Midwest Bank Hotline. Hey Joe Philbin got a job. Did you see that? He's gonna be coaching at Ohio State. as an offensive analyst with the coordinator.
Mm-hmm. Yeah, he's smart. Remember when he uh coached his first game and called Challenge two plays on the first drive. Yes.
So I guess we'll see him October 28th, Halloween weekend, up in Madison. When I go on my big trip. Yeah, you're going on your big trip. 70 miles. I was excited to hear about your trip.
Thank you. For Madison. Do you know the spot that I'm referencing? When you drive back from Madison. You see a sign that says Milwaukee, and you think you're getting close, and still says Milwaukee 51.
No. You're pretty much just out of Addison. Oh, I want to run right into that sign. That is the easiest drive in the history of highways. Yeah.
Madison, Milwaukee? Yeah. I'm just saying he really is. I love going down Washington Avenue. Yeah, Westwash.
Or are you an Eastwash guy? Eastwash. Yeah. John Nolan, though, when you come into the city on John Nolan, you're coming around the lake, you see the capital, you see the skyline. That is the best view in Wisconsin driving.
I agree. Do you know that Fond du Lac could have been the state capital, but lost? Four to three on the voting. That's too bad. I was actually thinking about this yesterday.
How different would the world be If Fond du Lac was the state capital in 1850 and not Madison, I probably wouldn't be here.
Well, I got to get going back to work, guys. Go brew it. Oh, okay. On that note. Ken says, Bart loved your wallet store.
on the show. I jumped in the dumpster last night at Odyssey two nights ago. Because I thought I lost my wallet and I thought I put it in the trash and I had to dump in the dumpster, jump in the dumpster.
Well, it's not that hard of a dumpster to look at since there's not much in there. No, it was very easy. There was no trash since nobody works there. You'd be happy to know that the main. Sales lounge that probably had 30 desks.
Now has about 10. And the whole middle's been replaced by tables and chairs and couches to make it more inviting. Yeah. Yep. Jake says, Power rank the Bucs coaching finalist.
As a matter of fact, this is an article from Eric Name. About some of the coaching finalists.
Now, I will still say, I'm not 100% that these are the three finalists. I understand what the tweet said. I like, are we sure it's one of these three guys? I mean, Worzhanowski reported it, right? He said they are parts.
He said they are parts. Perfect. Yeah. So, Kenny Atkinson is a coach that could be the next Bucs. coach.
He spent time on the bench with Dantoni, with Bud. with Kerr.
So he's seen different offensive game plans. The con would be the pressure maybe. That comes with this kind of job. I don't think that that's that big of a deal. Adrian Griffin, a longtime assistant with Nurse Skyles and Thibodeau.
Could have fresh ideas here. But he's never been an NBA head coach. There'd be a lot of pressure. And then Nick Nurse obviously has won a championship, has won it with a. Superstar, but the Raptors haven't been that good offensively.
If I were to power rank how I'd want them, I think I'm going to go Atkinson 1, Griffin 2. And nurse three. I don't want nerve. Don't know that I really want anybody. I saw somebody talking about how they need that kind of asshole brand.
that Nick Nurse can bring. But I don't know that you'd do that. I mean, remember when the brewers brought in Ken Maka? That ruined the whole jive of that team. Ruined everything.
So I don't know that you necessarily want an asshole. Was Maca really an asshole, though? No. Minus water. Marka like To talk to Maka, the players that did like...
Go through five different other people. If we're uh Ranking the three coaches, and I'll take Nurse just because of the experience, he's got the ring. But I wanted Doc Rivers to be in that. If you can. Hey, look what I got from fifty eight, by the way.
What's that? It's a light. You have a ring light? Oh no, it's an antenna.
Sorry, never mind. Like bunny ears? Yes.
Why did they give you that? I don't know. It was in my little goodie bag.
So you can watch it at home. Yeah. I have a table.
So you started working at a TV station, they gave you a free antenna? Mm-hmm. Was it like like a joke? No, like it was in a in a good event. Like I got a mug and pens and They threw an antenna.
Hmm. Treb says Whatever happened to Rick from Fond du Lac. There was a Rick and Oshkosh. Uh he's dead. Don't let Tim off the hook.
Please explain Doc Rivers. I think I did that the other day on your. National Show? Tim did call in. You are very uh professional.
Thank you. Why do you want doc? I just think he's the best candidate. You want a player's coach, right? Like in the NBA, it's different than like we're talking about Craig Counsel or and Who's the best fit for the brewers?
And you kind of want that asshole-ish guy. I think in the NBA, you need a player's coach. You need A, Giannis has to like him and get along with him. I'm not sure.
So do you? What? I was just gonna say, do you think he's involved? You I think the guy they Center the franchise around is involved in the head coach. He'd better be involved.
But the problem with Giannis is He's like he The Green and Growing podcast with Sparky this afternoon. Mm-hmm. And we were talking about this, and I said. The way that Giannis talked about Bud after that series. Was like, oh, he should have done this, or I need a coach.
Why doesn't Giannis take over the game more? Marcus Smart was essentially coaching for the Celtics in game four. He was the one doing the timeout. Why does Giannis need another man to tell him what to do? He's Giannis.
Just take over. Just notice, like, you're guarding Jimmy Butler. How does the most competitive guy that's ever existed? who had to scratch and claw his way to even get here. The journey that he had was so improbable.
That it was a Disney movie. And then, when he thinks that Jimmy Butler needs to be double teamed, he waits for Mike Budenholder to tell him. What's up with that? Again, I waited a month. I'm not.
Mm-hmm. Tim Shark says, hope Tim's excited for CBS 58 at Christmas. They'll give you a VCR. I need one. Ken says, rank your favorite days of the week.
Friday. But Friday you got to work. Yeah, but I'm done by 10 a.m. Do you know that like By ten thirty I'm two beers deep. On Friday, 10:30.
Being done in Friday at 10 is incredible. I did it for 10 years. Yeah. We did it literally together. Yes, we did.
Yeah. I haven't drank yet in May and I still have lost no pounds. You're looking good, Byron. Dad Shorts says the Brewers had a hot start to the season are now in a slow decline to a 500 record. Similarly, as a franchise, they had their championship shot.
on the slow decline to mediocrity. Maybe this two game Winning streak against the Astros will. Write the ship a little bit. Because I guess now that I'm looking more at the like winning streaks have been few and far between. The schedule is going to get a lot easier coming up.
Is this true? The Brewers have not had a winning streak. Longer than three games? No, okay, I'm just looking at Owen Miller.
Okay, I gotta get the schedule up here. I was gonna say they had a four-game or five-game to start. Like they won the Last game in Chicago, and then they swept the Mets.
So that's four. Yeah, okay. Oh, yeah. They started with a six-game win streak, and then they had a four-gamer against they swept Seattle. Yeah.
I think what I learned today is, I'm not going to be able to serve Brett in Tosa for his brewer coverage. I just. I'm a Bux Go and a Packers show.
Well, he just I tweeted at him, he just tweeted at me back, so. I'm sorry, I didn't know. Maybe the NBA needs to end and then you'll be on the brewery stream full time. Yeah, possibly. HappyPlaceHemp.com.
I want to give a shout out to Big Ron in New Jersey. He sent me a message. That he just got a reorder. He was having trouble sleeping last night and And he sent me Can't see it. I know.
He sent me the screenshot. Of what he purchased. What did he purchase? Can you read it? Read it out loud.
Oh, I'd be happy to tell you. Still can't see it. He got two of the CBD CBNs. Oh. He took 40 gummies per jar.
He saved 25% and got free shipping, even all the way out to New Jersey. 25% off with free shipping. That's promo code BART, happyplacehemp.com. Promo code is Bart. I will be servicing the maybe, you know, who I'm going to ask my brewers question to about why I can't get into them.
What do you think the what kind of answer do you think I'd get from Jeff Levering on that? You could probably get a good answer. If I said Jeff. Jeff's coming on tomorrow's show.
Okay. Friday show. Can you tell him I say hello, by the way? Tim Shea? Yeah.
Yes.
If I said I am personally having a harder time getting into the Brewers than I did last year. What kind of answer do you think he'd give me? I don't know. That's actually a good question. I mean, you, I.
I think you are too. I think you're very... Still in shock with the bucks? With Golden State, with the NBA, you're watching more NBA. I don't know how you could be bored watching the Brewer game.
Be honest with me. How much of the game did you watch today? The brewer game? Yes, the whole thing? Uh seven innings of it, yeah.
Okay. I just I'm trying to I'm trying to See where you're coming from. Are you bored? Are you bored watching them? Are you having a tough time watching them?
I might not like baseball. Do you well that was gonna be my next question. Do you like the Brewers? I don't know. Do you Is it early?
Is it too early for you? Maybe too early. Too early. Do you just feel how I feel that they're gonna cruise? Cruise.
Through this, I think I'm, and I've been talking about this with the NBA a lot, and I'm worried about this for next year with the Bucs. Sports are proving how irrelevant regular seasons are. Is it because of all the injuries? Garrett Mitchell, like all these kids and Pictures are getting I don't know I wasn't really like Super crazy about the freshman. I'm not like sitting down for the bake up.
Maybe they need to bring Churio up. They should bring Churio up just for me. I don't think it's time yet for him. Oh, it's not. Just for me, what's the point of that?
Watching him go. Oh for twenty or two for forty five or something. That happens. Sam says over or under seven wins for the Packers. Over.
Over, but Barely. Yeah, maybe just over. They should. Treb says you can sell those gummies over state lines. You can.
Some states are still weird. You know what? You're kind of right. Because I'm so looking forward to this Packers season. Because of all the Questions?
And honestly. I'm looking forward to watching the Jets too. Like, it's yeah, like you're gonna, I'm gonna be so focused on the Packers, but also in the back of my head, it's gonna be like, oh, how's Rogers doing? How are you doing? Oh, I'm not watching, I don't care.
Oh, but oh, don't say that. Yes, you you will. No. Have I brought him up yet? No.
There's certainly things to talk about. I'm just saying, I'm trying to get where you're coming with the Brewers. And I think it is. It's just too early still. They went on that big winning streak at the start of the season.
They're in first place. The Cardinals I still think they are going to be irrelevant. to the brewers. I think this is the brewers' division to win. They'll win it, they'll give it to the playoffs, and then they'll get smacked around.
Yeah, but I don't see that they're going to get smacked around. I do. How can you even say that right now? It's May. Because the Dodge, the Dodgers, everyone's just kind of playing the line right now.
Not the Brewers. What are the brewers doing? They're I mean they went on that winning street you don't Teams like that, you don't see them go on those kind of winning streaks until July. Until they're you know giving 100% effort. I don't I don't think the the Mets and Dodgers and Braves and Who else is?
contending right now. I mean, hell, half the league makes the playoffs, so M Shark says, Is Tim willing to cut off his penis? If the Brewers don't win the division, because I did say I would cut my penis off. If the nuggets made the finals. Oh shit.
And that's why the knife is out tonight. If you wouldn't mind, if I could just. Stop. Stop. Here it is.
I'm not looking until you're sitting down. My thumb. Sure, I'm willing to do it. This is it's it's been a big escalation on this show. It's never like.
Yeah, if if if this doesn't or does happen, I'll I'll uh I'll I'll uh I'll take a shot of you know It's I'll cut off my penis. We're gonna cut off our penis. YouTube always asks me when I post these: is there anything that would be flagged if we're on. Uh, unsensitive in you know, in bad content, I was always like, nope. Um So, yeah, so I just think you're not ready for the Brewers.
It's too early. Cones back. Why are you back? By going back to work, I meant I had to listen to the first segment on the afternoon drive show. What'd they talk about?
Was Tim on? No, Tim's not on anymore. It's hot take. day. What was the hat take?
I don't know. Miss Sue not knowing the brewer's schedule. How the fuck doesn't she know?
Well, her intuition is really good. She called that Bruce Springsteen would have an affair before it went public. She called it. When did that happen? Nah, back in 87, I think.
Oh, shit. I actually cut myself pretty bad today. Not with I came on to say one thing, though, and hearing you complain about not being into the brewers. It's getting kind of pathetic. It's a slightly different.
I don't like doing it. That's what I'm realizing today. Today's go with the test. Today's show was a test for me. To see what kind of show I was gonna be, and could I do a Brewers post-game show?
And the answer is no. And so I'm going to and and what I decided was I can't Brett. I can't serve Cone. And come to playoffs, I'll be on board with everybody else. But I have realized this was a test.
It was just my best show of the month. No, maybe the worst show since I've been sober. That's why I had to pretend to cut off my penis. That's it. Do you need to be drunk to talk about the brewers?
It's a good question. It's a great question.
So, what I've learned today is, I'm not going to do. I will give lip service. I'm not going to force the Brewers anymore. I never once felt during the regular season. I had to force any Bucks talk.
And especially with the Packers. And I feel like I have to. I don't know that I can do. I just proved it to myself. I can't even do 20 minutes of Brewer's content anymore.
I think you need to have a drink. Are you still doing the Monday night shows? Brewers don't play this c next coming on Monday. I think Tim Shea and Chuck Freeman held you accountable to talk brewers, to follow brewers. And now that both of those guys are gone, you just don't have that accountability.
And now you're trying to force it through Brett and Tosa mainly. Maybe maybe you got to start hosting Brewer Post games with Bretton Tosa. I think that's the only logical way. It's okay to be a sidekick every once in a while. Your name's on the show, but you can take a step back.
I mean, I did start the show, and then Jake was talking about Jordan LeBron again right away. Yeah, Jake is the definition of a hater. He's a guy that would argue that a Blackberry is better than an iPhone.
Okay. I've had both, bro. I just know the keyboard is so much better on the BlackBerry. All you kids that love your touch screens. You have no idea how good it feels to touch keypads.
I know. Mm. I've had both. I will say that I held out on BlackBerry as long as possible. And I remember being at a bar, looking around, and everybody else had an iPhone, and I was like, I can't fight it anymore.
We're going to a touch screen society.
So Tuesday, so you're not going to go live Monday. The Brews don't play. Are you still planning on going live after like one game a week?
So my next Live shows will be after every NBA Finals game.
Okay, how about what's the next live brewers post-game show that you'll do? I say you should do one next week. Probably not till the playoffs. I can't do one. I think you should do one next week.
And have a few drinks. I don't care if the month is great. Congratulations. Just get blitzed. Have a couple drinks.
Don't get blitzed because then you won't make sense. Don't listen to the guy down below either. Have a few drinks. Do a Brewery's Postgame show and see how that goes. Because right now, if you were at the station, you'd be forced to talk about this team every day.
Why? Nobody else in the radio sphere does. That's why you were different, though. That's what made you better. You know what I think it is?
It's that national, I'm turning national. You are a little bit. You can go national like the Brewers did in 95. They were taking this national. All I can talk about is the NBA.
I'm actually defending. The other day, I was on a national show defending national shows for talking LeBron more than the Nuggets. Mm-hmm. I was saying that's just what we do. Have you taught any baseball?
What is there to talk about? All I ever talk about is once a show, I yell at the A's owner for being a slime ball. Being a national show, you probably talk about. The Yankees, the Mets, not even the Angels. The rule changes.
Yes.
The rule changes is all that there is. And there's, and those are even like, those have all dried up. You don't see many Many violations, and when you do, it's just okay, next pitch. No one's arguing anymore unless something Happens freakishly, like it happens. I got to try to find something that no one else is doing.
Like, remember when people were mad that the nets got extended? I got to be like. I got to be like eight years later pissed that they're extended. Yeah. Start going to the press box and just causing havoc.
I can't be in there and be like, I'll be like. Did you guys see Hodgercourt's tweet? What a trainer. They just all turn around. What are you doing here?
Oh, I'd be escorted out. Make them drag you out. That could be some good content. I have a uh voicemail from Matt in the Falls, a short one.
Okay. Carlos plays voicemail 402-915-BART. Carl of ET.com. Get your golf simulators. Matt.
Hey, Bart, it's me. Just listen to this faster. Eric. Bolstro. question discussion Um, really good.
Really good stuff. Uh, like I said, the telexy can talk about this for hours. Um, which is a great question by Paul, and you could you could switch around, you know, different people, it doesn't have to be Spolstra, but the whole you know, drafting everybody out of a pool is really interesting. But, anyways, I just wanted to call and say shame on Paul for obviously not listening to the Bart Winkler show because he would have referenced my call about Spolstra from a few days ago if he had been a regular Bard Winkler show podcast listener. Um, so that's really all.
Great, great work today, guys. Great work. Keeping up. Apologies to Matt, his voicemail was ruined by Tim's constant adjusting of a camera.
Sorry. I fell asleep, sorry. I hear a word. And that's sad. I could do another Omaha steaks reveal.
I am actually gonna leave. See you guys. Hey, Cone, later today, check for my Twitter. I'm going to run up a flight of stairs. Yeah.
You gotta put Eye of the Tiger in the background and wear some ridiculous polo shirt and. You'll be good. I mean look at these burgers. Yeah. Are you kidding me?
You kidding me right now? Isn't it a flat too?
Well, I'm. I'm qu I'm I'm glad I Spent an hour with you, Bart, to talk about how big these are. Omaha Steaks, promo code Bart. Are you leaving me?
Well, no, you're still going. Yeah, I just, I mean. I feel like I might have to do a new episode for tomorrow. I just need to serve the brewery. I did not serve the brewers.
Right.
It I g apparently you can't. I guess I can't anymore. I've lost a step. You're gonna have to listen to lockdown frames or whatever the fuck. What about asking the people?
For their ideas, brewers. Who cares? Okay, fine. No one cares. Nobody's asking me good questions about them anyway.
Nobody knows. Maybe Kevin Holden needs to call into this show.
Well, he's your boyfriend. I'm gonna I'm going to send him the link. No, I'm actually going to wrap it up. No, just wait. You can wait five more minutes.
What is why does it matter? Wins above replacement is like the one stat. I actually think there's some tangible. No, like I think that's a good stat. It can tell us like How good they are.
above the replacement of the Flayer So I uh enjoy Uh wins above replacement. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna wrap it up. Fine, wrap it up. Yeah. When will I see you next?
When will I see everybody next?
Well When do you wake up to go to your job? I don't know. I've been on different sleep schedules. Right, since I'm all caught up on sleep today, I'm not going to bed. What time is it?
What time is it? It's 3:24. 3:24. I'm going to bed at like 5, and then I'll sleep until. Midnight.
Yeah. Um So I guess the NBA Finals maybe? Yeah. It starts on a Saturday, right? Thursday the first.
Okay. I'll join you probably after one of the weekend games.
Well, I don't know if I'm doing Saturday night ones. Oh. So you're not doing that after every finals game. Let me figure it out. Before I go, hottest MCU Diva, Natasha is number one.
But Jessica Jones is very underrated. You know what a crush on was uh Wilson Fiske wife, Vanessa. Vanessa, I will protect you at all cost. I will put you on a plane. You are the love of my life.
No one you will know who I am, or you wouldn't be here. Yeah, Sharon Carter. Peggy Carter. All right, I'm gonna go. Goodbye, Bart.
