Good morning, everybody. My name is Bart Winkler. It's the Bart Winkler Show. We got a weird, wacky, zany episode for you today. Oh, there's so many things going on.
We are going to talk about the box. Bucks win, that means they are the number one seed. Not just in the East. but the whole MBA.
So the playoffs go through Milwaukee, which means if there's a Bucs in six. It would be on the road. But I mean, that's getting very picky. That's pretty great. We have the number one overall seed.
In the playoffs, some more injury concerns. As Chris Middleton only plays eight minutes and then he goes out.
So that comes up. When we do our post-game, so stick around. and strapping for that. Coming up, um, I have Some live. Reaction Tim Shea and I went to the Brewers game.
Brewers won. What a game it was. Garrett Mitchell walk-off home run. What a tremendous moment. Tim Shea and I went to the game.
I took uh three different videos I have a microphone that attaches to my phone, so I took three different Videos at different points during the game, one after Weimer homered, one after Burns got pulled, and then one during the celebration of the walk-off, and the Brewers win seven to six. The problem is. I'm still learning all this equipment because I'm a dumb dumbhead. And the mic's a little hot. Yeah, maybe you won't notice.
Maybe you will now that I said it. Radio. Profs will But we'll work on that. Otherwise, great content. We give our five-star review of the barrel yard.
Um The reviewing that we do is five-star. I don't review. The barrel yard. as a five-star restaurant.
So we'll get into that, and that should be fun. Then I'm going to pull what's called Doug Russell. Doug Russell. A longtime media member. He's got a podcast.
I don't know how often he does it. And Doug, with all due. I only see The Doug Russell podcast tweeted when something happens and he says, Now I'm going to play this interview from 2012. And then that's a new podcast.
So it's the repackaging of old information that you did somewhere else that you're going to use on your independent podcast. And I'm going to do that today. I'm going to do that today because the cheese wedge, the cheese hat. The cheese head that the Brewers are wearing has taken Milwaukee and the country by storm. After home runs this year, they put a cheese head on top of their skull.
And of course, we, I think, think cheesehead and we think We think Packers. But I'll have you know That cheese heads actually started. At brewer games. The first ever cheese head on record was worn at County Stadium. And a few years ago on the Wings Things podcast, I talked with Ralph Bruno.
Who invented the cheese head? And so I just want to bring that to the audience who may not have listened. If you've heard it before, It's great to revisit. If you haven't. It's just six minutes.
Hit the 30 second button. twelve times. That's a that I think is what's great about the pot. If you like the show, but in small doses, or if there's guys that jump on this post-game show and you're like, man, I just can't, you know, the text, the tweets, hey, Bart, I don't like this guy, I don't like this guy. Just fast forward.
And that that that's that's really That's all I'm going to ever say. Just fast forward. If you're not into voicemails, that's very criminal of you. I've got some. Terrific voicemails today.
Carl's Place brings you the voicemails. Carl of et.com backslash Bart is the link to use, or you can also get that link directly on my site. You know, one thing I don't talk about enough with these golf simulators is: yes, it's great to have a golf simulator in your home. How great is that in your garage? You know, it's a nice tax return investment, okay?
But also The level of technology that these simulators come with, you're gonna watch the Masters this weekend. What if you played the masters? I can't imagine, unless one of you gets super lucky that anyone listening. To this show is ever going to play Augusta. But You can change that.
When you Check out these golf simulators from Carl's place.
So, for that alone, so check that out. Two voicemails we'll get to. Uh this is Jeff in Milwaukee. 402-915-BART. Tip Bart, this is Jeff from Milwaukee.
I'm sure you're probably getting phone calls about brewer gang tonight, but Um I will watching the Bucs game, but also watching the Seventy Sixers. A beat the Celtics. Um, and I was beginning to think that you're you're uh thought about The Celtics bullshit have is going to run out at some point, and I thought that. Uh maybe you were wrong about that, but The 76ers somehow managed to win win the game and uh I don't know. I think there's something to be said about the bullshit that the Celtics.
uh have there's a lot of talk about or a little bit of talk about Grant Williams lobbying for calls and then finally getting one at the end of the game. I don't know if you watched it, you probably didn't, but I mean I don't know, maybe take a look at it. Just wanted to thoughts about it and Well, we we got with three games up now, so I'm ready for the playoffs. I'm ready. And that's, you know, thanks, Jeff, for the call.
But that's one of the. problems with Having the voicemail system is sometimes Jeff left me that. Tuesday and I played it. On Wednesday, but it's actually Thursday's show and that voicemail became super old. But Jeff's got a nice, pleasant voice, and I think his thoughts remain the same.
The Celtics are bullshit. Marcus Smart was a Awful human in that game. And the Celtics taking on the Raptors. But because they lost to the Sixers, Bucks are able to seal things up against the Bulls on Wednesday night and get that one seed.
So that was an important game. That he had talked about. This one is from teacher Tom, who. was very excited. He was tweeting us that he was going to go to Golden Chicken.
This is Peacher Tom. Holly in live from the parking lot at Golden Security. This is my teaching. That was full-page houses. have a customer who's about a mile from Golden Chicken.
I was all excited and then discovered that they do not open until three o'clock. I was thinking I'd come on my lunch, so. I suppose I'll be finding something else instead. Yeah, I'm excited about the brewers. A week ago?
I was thinking, I suppose 80 wins is so. They might be a wild hard team and then get bounced right away. Fire. Through five games, these young guys are looking good and giving us a lot of reasons to be excited.
So Maybe there is hope. You know, how long this will last, always address to people. Especially the lookies so. This may only be a couple of weeks where they're hot and it may come down to more than a week average, but A lot of reasons for excitement right now. Have a good one.
Bye. Thanks, Tom. And there was a lot of excitement. And even though me and Tim may seem like big hard asses about the Brewers. Uh we ended up having a great time and watching a great moment.
Garrett Mitchell. Hitting the walk-off home run. We'll take you live on tape to American Family Field. Coming up next, stick around. We'll get the Cheese Head Origins story and the Bucks Post game.

Robinhood Financial LLC, member SIPC. Reporting to you live on tape. At Miller Park or whatever they're calling it these days. Joey Weimer just did his first career. Home run and the brewers are up 4-0 right now.
in the second inning against the Mets. I am at the game with my good, good buddy. Tim Shea, who is busy Opening every app on his phone and closing it. What are you doing over there? You're not enjoying the game.
I'm sorry. I'm watching. I just saw Joey Weimer's first home run. Went into the bullpen. It did.
Big bullpen. Yeah, big moment for him. Uh we are here. It is uh the you know it's a Wednesday game and Opening day was pretty packed, although it really wasn't, but These are the games to go to. I do contend that the Tuesday after and the Wednesday after.
Because nobody is here. There are people sitting down, I suppose. But like nobody's here. The amount of people that saw Bryce Terang's first home run. Compared to Joey Weimer.
Is uh mere percentage points.
So I feel bad for Joey. How about that? The ballpark and the Brewers should advertise that nobody comes to these games. One of the reasons that I wanted to come so bad to this game today. is because nobody is here.
and we're afforded a little more room. Quick in lines, you know, you don't have to wait for anything.
So I really believe the less people here actually, the better. Uh but I wonder If Mark's sitting up on his perch. William Adam has just got to walk. What a... What a goddamn hero.
Okay. Yeah. Oh, where is he? Oh, that asshole. When he looks around, how do you not think, I want to move?
Right, there's nobody here. Stop. Why? Stop. It's a day game.
It's Wen it's the first day game. It's Wednesday. Don't worry. Just wait for the summer. We'll be fine.
But this is like what it is in the summer, too. No, it is not. On day games? Oh, Willie tried to steal. Awful move.
Maybe one of the worst base runners we've had since Jonathan BR. Not enough people are talking about it, but really just brutal. Really brutal. I mean, he's looking around. Where's the money going to be made?
Idiots like you and I buy $15 beers, but you just bought a like a $25 beer. Yeah, I also bought nine Tater Tots for $9. And I had one of them. Yeah, and you had eight for nine. Yep, and I paid for a 50-50.
Showing me. Yeah, overall. Yeah, 380. Why? 385.
What a moment. What a moment. So I think I'm going to stay longer than the third inning today. Thank you. I bought the dickens.
So Yeah, I haven't paid for a ticket yet. That's why I keep coming back. What are you talking about? Spending money. There you are.
Well, we're having a good time. There's two good buddies hanging out. Excuse me, I'm gonna go admire our banners that are painted on the press box of all day. You know, everyone shits on the banners. I don't have a problem with any banner that's in here.
Not a one, except for the Euchre 50 years one. Because it looks like it's retiring the number 50. Yeah. If you're, I don't like that. I need to update that.
Yeah, they need a long time ago. Yeah. Vignette number two, we're gonna go into the barrel yard. Uh carbon burns Just got pulled. He gave up six runs.
Do you think the brewers told him to his face how shitty he was that he Tim started to believe it? Probably, yeah. Yeah. What a shitty run organization. All right, we're walking into the barrel yard for the first time.
It actually looks pretty nice. Pretty classy. They don't do beers by price, they do it by alcohol percentage 'cause We're uh Trunks. And I don't want any beer, so. Are we gonna go inside that place?
There's not really like a. Yeah, let's get out of here. There's not really like a good distinction whether you can actually go into the restaurant or not or if you need a secret code. Oh, here's a restaurant entrance. Oh, someone just had a home run.
No, double play. Oh, double play. We're at the point of the game where I stop paying attention and I want to go home, but I bought 50-50 tickets and I got a CO.
So actually, uh I think Friday's This looks Wow. We're in the barrel yard right now. This looks very corporate and devoid of charm. I don't like it. I don't want to go in here.
Alright. It looks terrible. Do you agree with me or not? Yeah, yeah, it it does look hard for it. It doesn't look inviting for me and you to go in there right now.
No, we're two dive bar kind of guys.
Alright, so our review without going in or trying the food or anything. is the barrel yard is a huge miss.
Well sure. What? Maybe for beer drinkers, no. For people that like the craft brewery. No, I liked Fridays better where the floors were sticky and you waited five deep to get a long island.
This I'm not I'm not into it. I'm not into it. Just another thing between this. And the foul balls that they painted over in the press box. That they are erasing their history.
Just another indication that Mark is putting this team up for sale. It's right before your eyes. No one's brave enough to admit it but me. This team will be sold. By July 4th.
Your thoughts? No! You I want whatever you're smoking. Who's July? Who's out of Milwaukee sooner?
Corbin Burns or Mark Antonazi? Corbin Burns. And one more vignette for you. As the 6,500 people at American Family Field Today. are on their feet.
Celebrating it, Garrett Mitchell. Welcome home run. That's right. We stay to the end of this game. Tim wanted to go home early.
And I said, Sherry. We gotta stick around. But you called it Shay. You called the Waka. I told you, Garrett Mitchell walk-on home run.
I did not want to leave, by the way. I did not. Only one of us even brought up the idea of leaving. And all three times it was you. I'm glad we stayed.
And I called that walk up. Then again I said It's not like I've Never seen anything that's gonna happen. I've seen wonkos before. All right, and look, Eric Mitchell right now is wearing the cheese wedge. The cheese wedge.
Let's get the hell out of here. All right. That's our fun day at Miller Park. How about that? Me and Tim Shea having a good time staying till the end.
Watching the Garrett Mitchell home run. His wife wasn't allowed to come. He hit the home run. They had fun on Twitter. Very cute.
Very cute. Brewers today, seven to six, the win today, of course, I mean. on Monday. And by that, I mean Wednesday, Jesus. Garrett Mitchell, yeah, Garrett Mitchell actually came in for Mike Brissot, so he didn't even start in this game.
Hashtag people forget, but good outing for them. Corbin Burns. You know, I think it's still too early to panic, I guess, but it is kind of weird. That everybody is doing good right now except for him. You know, Yalich hitting 217.
I guess our expectations really got low on him anyway. But the other day, I mentioned what is the weak spot of this team. And right now it might be. Corbin Burns. I don't think that that's the answer, but through six games, it might be the answer.
Uh but I don't think that's the overall total. Answer. Happy place, hemp. Check them out. Happyplacehemp.com, they have all your CBD THC needs.
They make everything that they sell as well. That's another very important thing. They make it. They're the experts. They know what they're putting into it.

I'm not padding the episode. There's a long episode today. I'm not patting the episode. I'm just prefacing this to myself. But I do find this sort of entertaining.
It's how the cheese head started. And this is fun because the Brewers are now using a cheese head. And we see cheese head and we think Packers, but the cheese head actually started. At County Stadium. As I asked Ralph Bruno.
On the Winx Things podcast a few years ago.
Well, it it's not like it was a a big plan. It was more of a just uh Uh combination of things You know, our lovely friends to the south have been calling us cheese heads forever. And so I was. Not in a good way.
Well, yeah. And I was involved in a baseball rotisserie league with a bunch of buddies of mine. And one of the things that we do with that was go to a brewer game. And so we were slated to go to County Stadium and we were going to do some tailgating, of course.
So I'm like, well, you know, personally, I love cheese.
So I thought, well, I'm going to make a cheese head, you know?
So I was in the process of re-upholstering my mother's couch, which was kind of a not a true business of mine, but just a sideline thing.
So I had all this foam in the basement and upstairs and everywhere.
So I carved a triangle for starters in the shape of a, like a kind of a wedge type cheese, and then added some holes, which we ended up calling them schmivets now. Adornment holes or schmivets, and then kind of painted it another color of a different cheese.
So we got all these cheeses kind of rolled up in one and had this half that I was going to take to the burger game, put it in a brown paper bag, went to the game, And we're drinking our PBRs and Millers and sitting outside ready to go to the game. And the guy's like, okay, it's time to go.
So I pull a hat out of the bag, put it on my head, and start walking. And my buddies just like looked at me and like, what? And what's Bruno doing? And they just kind of scattered, right? And so I'm walking it, going in.
We're looking for our seats. I'm still wearing it. And my buddies are just still kind of eyeballing me like he's drunk. You know, he's doing something stupid. But a girl came running up to me and wanted to try it on.
And so I handed her the hat. And then my buddies are looking, going, wow, Bruno's getting chicks with. A hat, you know.
So, all through the game, we just kept taking turns passing the hat around. And, you know, it was just like, wow, there might be something here.
So, you thought you had something here. And like any great story, it was influenced because Chicks seem to like it.
So how did you say I'm going to make a second one. How did that happen? I've got the first one. I'm going to make a second one and I'm going to sell it.
So I'm a gadgety, tinkerer, self-proclaimed inventory kind of person. And so I'm. I started trying to figure out: okay, I know what the material is. It's a seat cushion, but where does that come from? And how can I get it in bulk?
And what's it all about?
So, back in the day when there were only yellow pages as a resource, the internet wasn't there. Just kind of pulled out of yellow pages and found a company locally in Waukesha that sold polyurethane foam, which I knew nothing about. And with a whole bunch of luck of finding a uh the right people That were willing to say, hey, come on in and we can talk about this. You know, my background was in pattern making and mold making, so I put together a A shape that was similar like the first original cheese head, and you know, and and Put it under my arm and paid him a visit, and we came up with a formula and a color and Five gallon buckets later, started mixing, pouring, and producing cheese heads. How quickly did it go from that?
To where everybody was buying them, and now I see them in airports. And how quickly did it go to that? Because I. I don't, I mean, I just have always known of cheese heads. And I feel like as a kid growing up as, well, a Packer fan, with the obvious connection, I just feel like I've always known.
Of cheese heads. How did it how long did it take to get to that point?
So it was a, again, with my background of zero in marketing and sales and My inabilities to speak properly. It was very difficult. For example, the first true sales were right back at County Stadium, where I took a garbage bag full of them and went to try to get to whoever the concessions, it's sports service, who they were. And so it took me two weeks of sitting on a couch. And watching people walk by, and the receptionist said, He should be here any minute now.
And hours went by. Finally, somebody said, You know, kid, I've seen you here for. Days on end, what is it you're looking for? And so I got to see the right guy, and he said, We won't buy them, but we'll put them on consignment. And I'm like, I didn't know what that meant, but I'm like, yes, okay, we'll do it.
So it started as very slowly that way. And then in the meantime, after that, I went to sporting goods stores, cheese shops, kind of doing the same thing, showing the wares. I used that consignment method on a lot of the first sellers of our product. We were in a company called Moon Fun Shop. million years ago.
And uh so it it just kind of was, you know, just real common sense kind of things where uh we were trying to get sales. 'Cause you'll see them more. I think Cheeseheads have become very tied in with the Packers. but you wore your first one at a Brewer game and then you were working at County Stadium or working with County Stadium to sell them there. That sort of surprised me a little bit because of how almost ingrained they are with the Packers at this point.
Yeah, the Packer jump again happened. Um again, all of this. is pretty organic. It's through the fan base. It's not anything that we're predicating.
It's going where the flow is. And it happened in the mid nineties with Brett Favre going through his rookie year. And I think it was And I'm real bad with older Packers. I mix names together. Robert Brooks.
That's right. Okay, so he wore one of our, and I think it was a cowboy hat, and it got good publicity that way. And then, next thing you know, people are just wearing them to Packer games. And We go to the Super Bowl and we have a Super Bowl caravan and we go down to Kill Mississippi with thousands of cheese heads and br visit the broke spoke. Uh, Brett Favre's brothers bar, yeah, and uh, uh, continue to go and win the Super Bowl that year.
Now, let's get to the show you all know and love with the voices you all know and love. The next batch will be the Bucks post-game show that we did after they wrapped up the number one seed.
Some good in-stadium reporting from Q. Who was there at a season ticket holder event afterwards?
So we appreciate that. A lot of the friendly faces that you've come to know and love. jumped on, including him, Shay. More him shea on this episode. And I will tell you: the next, the Bucks post-game part of this is about an hour.
I'd say the first 40 minutes are worth listening to. The next 20, I would only listen to if you're lonely. It just kind of just kind of devolved into I didn't, we were just, it just kind of ended up. It was just kind of us talking, which I think sometimes the show turns into, but there's really no. There's no meaningful content in the last 20 minutes.
You may hear something you like or enjoy or laugh, but there's nothing that you're going to miss. It's like um Thor, Love, and Thunder. You might like Thor, so you watch it. But if you miss it, you're missing nothing in terms of the continuity of the. Bart cinematic universe, so you'll be just fine.
But we do celebrate a little bit. The Bucs have the number one seed throughout all of the playoffs. We'll talk some Chris Middleton injury and hot take Jake has his hot takes. And we'll talk about all of it. The Bucks Post Game Show.
We'll wrap things up. And again, uh the last twenty is only if you are a completist. Dip into those championship stakes, Milwaukee. From Omaha Stakes, promo code BART. $30 off at checkout.
Check out their great packages, Omahasteaks.com. Your Milwaukee Bucks. Are the number one seed? Not just in the Eastern Conference. But throughout.
The entirety. Of these playoffs, come one. Come on. And let's talk about it. There are some injury concerns.
We must. Discuss, but for the Immediate future. This is pretty good. This is what we wanted. This is what some people freaked out about.
This is what we got, though. The number one seed throughout the playoffs. A reminder. If Bucks and Six happens. It will happen on the road.
As the home team. We'll have one, two. And five? And set.
So maybe Bucks and seven. We did bucks in six already. Let's do bucks in four. It's two bucks and five. Who cares?
Bucks get the one seed, not just in the East, but throughout the playoffs. They're about five up on the Nuggets.
So as long as the Bucs are in the playoffs, they'll have the home court advantage.
Now, what court will they be playing on? This blue court gotta go. All your conspiracy theories, whatever you have. On the uh The court situation, I'd love to hear it. Because it cannot be the normal court, cannot be in repairs for that long.
This blue court. My goodness. And then I like that they wear the blue jerseys on the road now and then wear the. Wear like any other jersey. At home.
All right. Balla says, What you got now, Celtics? Got to come through Milwaukee. Yeah, that'll be good. That'll be good and necessary.
Uh in that series, I think specifically. Because that's a series that I still think. is going to go uh no less than six. And if it does need to go seven. That final game would be at home, and that's about all you can ask for because we know what game seven's in.
Boston look like. Uh they go up like 30 to 5. And then we're in chase mode the whole time. More comments here. People pretty pumped up.
On our YouTube stream, and I'm totally with you. A good old standard LFG. From Zack in the Falls. That means, I think, lots of fun, guys. Lots of fun, guys.
LFG. We are having lots of fun.
So LFG, Midwest baller says, let's go. But the job's not finished. Absolutely. Absolutely not finished yet. I like this from Jacob.
Here's an angle we can take. Drew and Brooke have put themselves in the Hall of Fame this year. Remember, for the most part, the basketball hall of fame is the basketball hall of fame.
So anything else they do counts. Olympics count, college counts. Yeah, these are all famers. No bucks ever going to wear 21 again. No bucks ever going to wear 11 again.
No bucks ever going to wear 22 again. No bucks ever going to wear 34 again. There's gonna be a slew of these numbers retired. And for good reason. You know, I know the Bucs retired a lot of numbers early on in the 70s and 80s.
And Bucks fans then may have thought, well, Are we going to have any numbers left? And then they sucked for 25 years.
So. Yeah. There'll be plenty of good numbers available. Or as Euchre says, all the way up until the eighth inning. Plenty of good seats available coming out.
Using ours. Just not summer without 'em. Andre says the blue court is like WrestleMania Night Two. Very mid. If night two was mid, what was the raw after WrestleMania?
What? A waste. of time. Awful. Programming.
Right there. First one on Middleton. This is a comment from Josh. He says: Middleton is as fragile as your finest. You know.
And this, I think, is something that is going to be discussed. By those in this town that still talk Milwaukee Bucks basketball. They are few and far between. Um And that's why we do what we do. Remember, this is happening throughout the playoffs, these post-game shows.
I want to get these numbers up. I want people to know that there's a place to talk. Bucks basketball, you're gonna have a lot of the look. You're gonna have a lot of bandwagoners jump on. Pretty soon.
A lot of radio station bandwagoners jump on. That's gonna be some bullshit. We were here first all year. with guys like Q. in the stands at Fiserve.
Not sure how this will go, but... Let's try. That's the off part. Look at you at the game. Yeah.
So Pretty sure there was a lot of doubters last week Thursday. And here we are with the one seed. We got the one seed, that's good. You look like you had a nice time. You're well dressed.
I came straight for work. 6:30 tips are tough.
So 6:30 tips? There's an event for season ticket holders with a special interview that Zora's doing with Bud and a couple players. after the game so I'll be on the court shortly. But uh Just excited to have that one seed. Uh, home court advantage throughout the finals, even so we'll see what happens.
But I'm smiling from ear to ear. Why don't you, once you're on the court, if we're still going, give us a post-game ramp up from the interviews? Yeah, I got, I don't know, can I switch my camera here? I can see A.J. Dillon on the courts, Philip.
So I saw a picture. Yeah, I've got I saw a picture of A.J. Dillon and Charlie Barrens on the front row. Charlie Barrens is getting front row seats. Yeah.
Charlie got a bigger round of applause than AJ. Jesus. Chair, yeah. I mean, he's a redhead too. What are you doing?
I will say, Charlie Barrens, if you guys, if. If you guys could help me with this, he's my next podcast want. He's my next guy that I want. Because in a shorter amount of time, he became better friends with Leroy Butler than I did. Also, he was a former newsman.
Who took the comedy career, and I'm still trying to hack it in this business. Uh, maybe I did the wrong thing, so I do want to talk to Charlie Barrens. This is an open invite. Uh, if you guys could help me uh pressure him the way that it worked to get Chuck Freeman never on this pod, I'm going to reach out to Charlie Barrens.
So, I'm pretty sure he lives in Bayview.
So, if any of your listeners are in Bayview, they probably can get you his address.
Well, yeah, he's around. We could do an in-person big day. He did a two-bite rot on the Jumbotron.
So, one bite, two bite rot was gone.
So wow. But did they Did they say anything about Chris's injury? I know he went out in the first half. Uh, just this comment here that uh he's as fragile as fine china. That's from Yeah.
Where's that from? I'm meaning, Jake. No, but Jake's waiting in the wings. Bring him in! He wants to apologize to us.
Jake? Mr. J. What is that? I'm sipping my tea.
Is there a Is it a couple of things? No, Jake thinks he's in victory lap mode tonight. Who said Victory Lap? Wh wha wha wh what's up with you? Why are you sipping tea?
I'm just, you know. It's it's interesting because It's really, I don't think people understand the burden it is to just be correct all the time. It's hard. How are you correct? You were just saying this team was pathetic.
Last week. Uh So I don't recall that. I'm referring to, as someone just said before, fragilist Chinaman, Mr. Chris Middleton. I said it all along.
He's going to get hurt. It's like, and I said anybody that gives that guy this next contract should be like checked out, maybe get a CAT scan or something. I think you're being premature again, my friend. No, I mean, we'll see. Precautionary.
I'm hoping that it is. I'm hoping that he's okay for the playoff run. But I mean, it just further illustrates my point. Like, it's always something with this guy.
So I think what's going to happen is. We're waiting for the season ticket event. Yeah. Yeah. I think what's going to happen is, you know, a lot of cube flexing nuts.
Yeah. big time people I don't like being yelled at. Yeah, I I saw it in your face, so that hurt you. No, I'm not.
Sorry, Jake. You were rambling again about. Chris Middleton. What's going to happen is, you know, Middleton was bucked up. Can you guarantee us that we're not going to win the finals?
Because it seems like all your predictions do not occur.
So can you just. Whip that out for us. That must have been when you were drinking or something, because I've maintained the Bucs are winning the title all season. Then why are you so so upset about the subjects loss?
Well, why wouldn't I be upset about the Celtics loss? I said. It didn't matter. The one seed was in the back. No, no, no, no, no.
He was right. That loss did not matter. Q is right. It did not matter. And I said, you would need to apologize to us if we had the one seed.
You do need to apologize to Q. I don't got to do shit. My gripe was never. With The bucks like themselves, okay? They got their ass with the schedulers.
My gripe was with Bucks fans that are saying, well, there's literally it means nothing.
Well, no, it didn't mean anything. It didn't mean a damn thing, we got the one seat, okay? But My great concern is that in the playoffs, all of this stuff, it's going to start to matter now.
Okay. So if you're consistently. Beating teams that are awful and getting waxed by teams that are really, really good, that's a legitimate concern. And for anybody to be like, no, they have nothing to be concerned about, you're full of shit. That was my gripe.
My brain was handled at the team and sells the bucks are what they are. But for people to say that it's not an issue to continuously, especially in like, prime-time games get absolutely destroyed. That should be a bit concerning. I'm not saying it's the end of the world and it's the end-all-be-all, but to say, oh, you're a bad fan if you know, that's bad. Damn saying we just beat the Sixers.
So, right, prime-time games cost or the first game was the first big win in how long? I mean, before that, what was the last big win that they had? To quote my friends Cone Roller and Tony in Texas, I'm going to give us a professional reset here. I do have a couple of people. That want Q to grab a fork.
And start interviewing people, a la Tim Shea. You can't feel those shoes. Yeah, I can't steal that thunder. Q, why are you taking the long way down to the floor? You were just in the dark.
I guess we have to go down a certain section.
So I'm heading back down there now. Yet another example of a middling bureaucracy ruining everything. I agree. Can you like, can you like. Sneak live broadcast the Q ⁇ A.
I can probably do that. Oh, why not? AJ Dylan's stop man. Can you get him on the show? Do you think I would get punched if I touch his quads?
Or just one quad? AJ, do you want to be on the Bart Winkler podcast? If he Since I can touch Aquad, should I go for the left or the right? Uh, go for the right. That's probably stronger.
That's just planting. Which is your strong quad? Um No, I wanted to say on middle. Are you getting AJ Dillon on the show or what? Uh Right.
He seems like the kind of guy that would go for that. All right. But come back to me when you got some action.
Alright, sounds good. Hey, Jake. Your hot takes are that you're just consistently wrong.
So that's my hot take for you today. Because I never said Middleton would get hurt, right? That makes me wrong. No, it's always something with this guy.
So, what's going to happen is he's going to have to opt into that last year of the deal.
Now, he was butthurt because the Bucks low-balled him in his eyes, but they'd be crazy to give him any multi-year deal at this point.
So, all we can really hope for. Hold on.
Okay. Tyler says, Does Jacob pay to be a heel for the show? Wow. It just comes naturally, baby. I'm the people's champ, man.
Joe says you're Mr. Negative. Donnie says, get cold take Jake out of here. Mm. You know what?
Like I said, I'm the intervention, man. I'm the truth you don't want to hear. Let me, let me, uh, Like Get you on the tracks. Let's get everybody on the tracks here with Jake. Uh and and the bucks in general.
So first of all, they are the one seed that is terrific. That's what we wanted. And we all freaked out about it because, greater point. Books fans. You guys still aren't ready.
You're still not ready to do it again. We can hurt too much. We take something that isn't a big deal. We make it a big deal immediately. And then when it's not a big deal, it's like.
Because we always think worst case scenario. Tonight, with Chris Middleton getting hurt, the Bucs have said now it was a precautionary measure to take him out, which is a good move. This can open the door to the question: how much Middleton do they need in the finals or in any series? This can open the question: do you rest them throughout a first-round series? I am a little bit worried that.
He's hurt-ish, and Pat's out, and they're going to arrest Grayson. And so, you just, you know, injuries piling up that can always derail you. Middleton's injury did a year ago. I think they're better and more capable to withstand a Middleton injury than they were last season, but we'll see. But when Chris Middleton gets hurt and leaves the game, It is still in Bucks fans' nature.
And don't let me let me like, don't say, oh, Bart, you know, F you, because I've been there and I've powered through it. I'm some, I'm like the Tony Robbins of Bucks fans. I've powered through it. I've seen the way. I was telling you down 02 to the Nets they were going to win the finals.
I was telling you down 02 to the Suns. I've seen the way. So I'm telling you now, we got to stop the thing where something happens and we immediately think the worst. All these guys most likely will be fine for the playoffs. And if not, that's a bridge we'll cross in the playoffs.
The other thing with your Middleton stuff. Contract-wise is You may be. 100% right. You may be 100% right. They shouldn't give a mags.
However, I'm going to say also. No one gives a shit, right? this moment.
Well, I'm just, I have to call my shots because when you're always correct, you got to make sure that it's well known ahead of time. Yeah. So I think all we can hope for with Middleton in the long term, he's going to opt into that last year of the deal. Hope you get one good year out of him, and then you got to let him go. You can't.
You can't give a guy like that multiple years at his age. It's always something with the guy.
Well You're not going to get anything for him in a trade. That ship has sailed.
So, if you think they're going to win the championship, who cares? They're going to win the championship with Middleton. Yeah. And if they win the championship, it'll be easier to say goodbye to him, maybe. I'm just calling my shot, and I'm claiming my W because I said he's going to get hurt again because he always does.
There's always something. It was non-contact and. You know? We'll see where it where it goes, but I do want to end. Maybe he didn't want to play.
You didn't want to play? Maybe you want to feel like playing tonight. I mean, he's a pro athlete. I think you always want to play, right? Oh no, AEW's on.
Jay White just joined. Spoiler, yeah.
Somebody told me Jay White joined, and I'm like, who's Jay White? What was Tony Khan's big announcement? I assume that was it, right? No, there was something else he was gonna do. Got you.
Oh, I do want to end up. Oh, they're gonna, they're gonna. They're going to have a show in London. That was the big announcement. Oi oi.
Yeah. Cheerio. I wanted to ask you a question. Um I was trying to like come up with my mind. What like the pitch clock in baseball?
Has there been a bigger and better innovation in sports? Like, what was the last one that matches that? Because to me, I think you can go all the way back to the NBA adding the shot clock to find something that. Fundamentally, change the way the game is played and how it's enjoyed by a fan base. I'll tell you what I like about the pitch clock.
And I've been doing Bill Ryder's show all week on CBS Sports Radio, as you guys know. Two more days, Thursday and Friday, 9 to 11. You can catch it on 12:50 a.m. in Milwaukee. And many fine CBS Sports Radio affiliates throughout the country, including two that I know of in Des Moines and Rochester, New York.
How we look. At the beginning of the week, I was talking about the pitch clock. And this was the same, I knew what was going to happen with me because it's the same thing that happened with me with the extra innings rule. Where I wasn't gonna like it. I didn't like how we got there.
But once I saw it implemented, I knew I would end up enjoying it. And today. Tim and I went to the game on the Wednesday game, saw the walk-off, super fun. But what was great about it was It's there and it's like not It's not noticeable. It's noticeable.
The clocks are everywhere, but also it's just, it's not like. If you're not thinking about it, you're not thinking about it. And so the game goes quicker. And then, like the relievers, especially. Their reliever and then Devin Williams were having a harder time with it because relievers have more of a routine and they were getting like to the and then so now some fan bases are counting down three, two, one.
And so, yeah, I hate that there's clocks in baseball. I hate how we got to this point. But it is making a more enjoyable experience. And that's what, you know, again, I hate that we had to get to a point where the shift was abandoned. I hate that we had to get to a point where extra ending games are like bad, not like no-nos, but it's making the game better.
And so credit the credit baseball for that. Yeah, I feel like I forget what's the commissioner's name, Manfred? He gets shit on left and right, but I feel like all of them. A lot of this is Theo Epstein's doing. Epsilon, what's she doing?
He's like Director of Baseball Management Ops. Props to hint, props to whoever, like all these things that have been happening. I don't think it's, you can't deny that it's making the game more enjoyable. From a fan perspective, it reminds me of like every game, it's like watching Ben Sheets pitch. Cause remember, he would just get the ball and just launch, launch, launch.
I love that guy.
So, yeah, like keep these rule changes coming. Once we get to RoboOMPs, they're perfect. We're good. That I'm still gonna have a hard time with. You're such an old head, buddy.
Well, I I'm I am anti-robot. You're just like in general or just in in sports? In general. In general. I think we've already crossed the point of technology.
Then We've already gone too far. This AI stuff, writing papers for college kids, writing articles, taking jobs away. It's bad. We've crossed the line. I'm okay with the writing articles for college kids because, like, what college is a scam, anyways.
It's just a way for you to pay for it. You know, so nobody really learns anything anyway.
So, if they're going to scam you, you might as well be able to get to scam them back. But no, it's a place where you can go with. Other horny people your age and just bang. Right, that's what it really, you know, you make up for it. Like, there's, you know, give and take there.
But I did, that was an interesting question to me. I was trying to think of like, what was the last major change in a sport that affected it to this point? And I'm like, This is such a game changer. I might go all the way back to the shot clock being added to basketball, but. One friend of mine said the college football playoff, like NFL instant replay, would be another one, but I I don't think those two even touch this.
I'm not a huge baseball guy, but. I'm really, really.
Well, digging baseball so far, and I'm sure some of it is just. Watching all these kids on the brewers kicking ass, but like. Even just like Holy crap, I'm at home like in between work, and three innings just went by like that. I was like, this is great.
Well, to wrap things up with you, I am not going to Jake does not get paid to be a heel. And you're not getting paid for that topic, which I'm going to use on Writer Than You, the last great achievement in each sport. It's an honor to just even, you know, spiritually be a part of Writer Than You. You will be and I'll shout you out. I'll say I was talking to hot take Jake on my pod.
I appreciate that. Mm-hmm. Yeah. All right, buddy. I love you guys.
I love you. Um Q is like, I did just see shots of the. Floor So This is the season ticket holders event. What are you doing? I Can you see the white jacket on the court?
That's AJ and Charlie. And then there's a bunch of children. Are they part of the events, people? I don't know. I'm hoping so.
Oh no, they're leaving. Oh.
So, like, AJ Dillon and Charlie Barrens are going to go to fourth base and slam beers? They look like homies. Like, I feel bad for Leroy. He lost his bro. I lost fourth base.
Shit. Too bad for me.
So I've got good seats. I don't know how long you're going to go, but if I'll come back, I'll turn my camera back on when the players get out of here, if you're still going. Yeah, if anything happens, get back in. All right. I'm just going to turn my camera off.
All right. And I'll uh I'll keep an eye on you. If anything comes up, Austin, what's up, buddy? Hey man, one seat. You got the cowbell.
Got the one seated. But Let me rip through some comments here first. Matt in the Falls was this there. I have something to tell Matt in the Falls if he comes back, so I'll skip that one. A lot of people calling Tay Jake Cold Take Jake.
Andre says Jake Lesnar with the double birds. Jacob says AJ would come on the stream if you go in his. Yeah, does A.J. Dillon want to do a home and home on podcasts?
Okay. Boots says they will want. They will 100%. God fucking damn it.
Someone else read that for me. Here, I'm going to bring in. It will need to be 100% to beat Celtics in seven games, meaning that Middleton can't be injured. Here, let's go quad box. Tim Shea.
Box me. Tim! Matt LeFalls. And Austin's here. Matt, where are you?
My house? Oh, I thought I saw a woman behind you. Yeah, that's my wife. She loves you too. Here's what I got to tell you.
Matt said chicks the other day. Oh, no. Got some very mild, yeah, some very mild backlash for calling women chicks in 2023. As part of this episode today, I did air. There's a six-minute thing I did with the inventor of the cheese head.
Because I talked to him a few years ago, and now it's popular at the Brewers' Games. And one of the questions I asked him: I said the word chicks.
So, but that was when I was younger. That was like 2018 before everyone got woke.
So I still feel like I'm okay. What, you interviewed him in twenty-eighteen? Yeah, and I replayed it in in this podcast tonight. We call that the Doug Russell. Oh, that was classless of you.
Not surprised that you would do something like that, you classless guy.
Well, I thought it was pertinent to the topical information of the day. Interviews from the past with Bart Winkler. Yeah. Add dramatic music, and there you go. Is anyone jealous of Tim and my date today?
We had a date. Oh, we had a date, did we? We went to the brewer game together. How, uh, do you watch the whole thing? Yeah, we saved the whole game.
Yeah. I mean, for how short they are now, you might as well, right? Here's the thing. This is what I say. Check it.
Having no expectations. Makes the season more fun. 100%.
Well, now my expectations are already World Series based on the first five games or whatever.
So now they're five and one. Yeah, six games.
So now that we're five and one, I mean, that puts us on pace to be Uh like a hundred and thirty five and twenty seven or something like that. That might be right. But I was listening to the Tim Allen postgame show today, which Wasn't really a post-game show, but one thing that one of their hosts said, he should not be named. Um Turbines? Brother Man, but he said that the the The brewers are 161 and one until they lose, and then they're 160 and two.
And he says, anyone who thinks the worst. Get off the ride.
So I had I Tried to listen to that today and Mm-hmm. Because I love Tim Allen. Yeah. I made it about 15 minutes. I think they just need to let Tim cook.
Let Tim cook. What's the format? Is he not cooking? Oh, it's like half a it's like three shows in one. It's weird.
Yeah. Good to have you. Hey man, uh Bucks got the one seat, baby. We got to be excited tonight. Let's go.
We are they run through Milwaukee. This is a huge night, man. This is what we've been waiting for. Get the one seed. Is that one thing at the moment?
Well, no, I mean, oh, I can hear. I heard someone cheering. Screw the bros with no, this is a great day. Five and one. Everything's good.
Okay. Yeah, Milwaukee's flying high right now, but I mean, and other teams are apparently interested in Rodgers, so that trade value is going to go up. Fuck yeah. Yeah, forty-niners. There we go.
Yeah, they are. Hey, people are throwing money at the stream for some reason. Let's see what's happening. There was a conversation. Yeah.
Viedrin says Middleton is done. Basically, played without him all damn year, still had one of the best records. That's a $5 comment. There you go. There you go, from Vedra and Cabara.
Uh, test user says cue from the top rope on the hot background color. Jake. Melissa is giving $2 for Q if he does touch AJ's quad. Should be twenty. Um, who is Burt McCracken from the used?
Is that Austin? Right. Yeah, drop something intro. Who's whispering? My wife, she thinks, she thinks that the microphone that's like 16 inches away from her isn't going to pick it up.
That's her laughing, too. Daniel says $2 for the Bucs being top two not two. Another $5. Wow. Bucks got the one seed.
Let's go. Who wants to go to my garage and huff and puff paint thinner? I'm in. Here I come. Marcus, five dollars.
For nothing. to not say anything. Keep that money rolling. I feel like this is like the telethon. All right, this one's for the kids.
Who else we got? Bart? I think it's awesome. I'm looking at pictures of this Burt McCracken guy, and I honestly can't figure out which one of us it is. Does he have long hair?
Well, I mean, in some pictures he has long hair, but in other pictures, he looks like he could be. Kind of Tim I think the most Burt McCracken looks like is me. Yeah, Bard could be in there, but then there's like there's another one where he's got like a mohawk. It's there's a lot going on there. I don't have hair, so.
No. There are some pictures where he doesn't have hair either. He's he's Austin, apparently. Who listened to the used anyway? That bands are.
I've never heard a single second of their music. I like that music. Your wife likes their music. Maybe I haven't. I don't know it.
Matt and his wife have become the When you call your mom and dad on FaceTime, couple, where you ask one of them a question. Do you get the tape from your wife? Is chicks acceptable? Can we get what? Dad, Dad, what, Dad?
How's your knee doing? His knee's doing fine, son. His knee's doing fine, Marty. I asked Dad. What do you think of the word chicks if I'm referring to Like using it in place of dudes, like not like, look at those hot chicks are over there.
Just like, just weird for you to say chicks. I'm talking about a women's college basketball. You don't call them chicks.
Well, if I say, like, oh, the one chick who did this, and then the other chick. Did this?
Okay, maybe if you're saying it that way. That's it. That's the way I would say it. Yeah. But I'm a woman.
Okay. In my opinion. Plus weird for a woman to call. Other women. She just called you a dude, though.
I don't know. Man. I don't think it's. Is it something where like only chicks can say chicks? Are we at that level?
It's just like the N-word.
Well, I didn't want. I didn't.
Well, let's not go. I mean, I was just not going to go. I didn't.
That's a joke. Go where? Is this how sensitive we are now? Because this is insane. I would never say.
That Say what? I didn't say anything. I used that funny simile. What the what?
Okay, anyone on a wall? Hold on, hold on.
Someone needs to take away this guy's credit card. He gave $10 to say chicks with dicks. Like, even that, like, I mean, you get some great rhymes out of the word chicks. I have to get something from the fridge. Go.
Okay, well I didn't want to be like Corey says dicks in chicks. Yeah, exactly. Oh, hey, hold on. We got action. We got action at the Fiserve.
Dixie chicks are chicks that are called. Hold on, Q, hold on, what do you got? Q. It's Marjan, AJ Green, and Jay Crowder, and here comes Zora. And a in a cute little denim number.
So I don't I can't really zoom in. Is it better if I turn sideways? Uh yeah. Uh Marzan, can you guys hear Marzan or no? Dragon.
I heard that guy. Wow. Hey, congratulations on being a seasoned ticket holder. Here's the two rookies and the guy we just traded for. Yeah.
Do you wanna you wanna stay on or? Are we good? No, I can't hear shit. Uh all right. Yeah, like release.
Ask Marjan if he says the word chicks. All right. Thanks, Q, for your reporting.
Okay. Halls we saw on him earlier. What's that, man? Said what happened to the balls that we saw earlier on queue. I don't know.
There were chairs just sitting there right in front of him. Like, take those chairs over. Say, hey, get down and try to interview people. Yeah, no shit. Start interviewing on behalf of us.
Yeah. Let's see. Let's see if there's any more comments. Or any more chick ch Folks. Q was giving us play-by-play of where A.J.
Dillon and Charlie Barrens were going. The beer baron says, Brewers have been so much fun. Bart, you said they need to get off to a hot start to make us forget the offseason. Welp, here we are. Yeah, Tim, we were talking about that today too.
All you need is a hot start. You forget everything. Except for price, dude. I thought the prices were going to be cheaper this year. Everything's more expensive.
That's because they have to make up for less time. Except for the the value menu, which I did not get anything from.
Well, that's because that's for kids. No, it's a value menu. It's for anyone that wants to, you know, junior hot dog, junior soda, junior peanuts. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Test user says brewers are plus 3,700 to win the World Series. If any of you want to go place that at Pato, you can. I cashed in my Iowa ticket today. They beat South Carolina in that Friday night game, and I cashed in, then immediately put it into the slot machines and. Walked out with a little less than I thought I would be.
There we go. What does that mean? If you bet a hundred and the brewers win, you get thirty eight hundred back? Yeah. If uh Uh well if you bet a hundred you get 38,000.
It's 37. No. 3800 back. Because your 100 is plus 3700. I mean, I'm not a gambler, obviously, but that's just.
The way I'd read it. Mm-hmm. Bart, don't you bet on sports like every day? Why can't you tell me the answer to this? I you were right.
I said yeah. Oh, 'cause they're talking about it like I'm not.
Well, man, I'm going to tell you one thing. The chances of them winning the series, that's probably pretty accurate. I don't know. They those uh those kids are gonna have to Keep shining in like the brightest moments. I don't know how keep shining.
Key? I don't know. I think they're really going to develop a lot this year by. Once once you bring up those prospects, you got to let them play, and they're going to let them play. I don't know what uh.
Relix issue. whenever they're gonna get him up if that's a yellich Dealer What? But uh I don't know. Maybe he'll get. Delt or something.
I don't know really, but uh Uh they're just gonna have to keep going in order for that. run to happen. Yeah. I really I want to be optimistic. But I just.
We tried that last year. And then they broke our hearts. Another five from Vedrin who says. Who you got on Sunday, Arsenal or Liverpool? Uh Arsenal.
I have Liverpool. Hey, isn't Arsenal the club that advertises on your podcast? There's a podcast for Arsenal. There is an Arsenal pod that's a very well-listened to Blue Wire pod network, yes. For everything Arsenal.
I'll take Arsenal for my Blue Wire boy. No, we're a Liverpool. We're a Liverpool network. Tim's got a crush on a girl that lives in Liverpool. Hello, Lois.
What's your name? Lois. Is this the is this some sort of inside joke that I'm missing? No, there's legitimately a girl on Twitter that Has got all up into Tim's mentions and she lives in Can we see a picture? Go on Twitter.
Tim, I'm not on Twitter. Yeah, he got banned like five times. Yeah. Great. Three.
Three. Downtown Billy says, per Eric name, Bud called Middleton's injury a. Re-agggravation of the right knee soreness. I would just like to go on the record. that might take on the playoffs and injuries.
is I don't care about any injury. That is happening right now. I'm not gonna speculate. I'm not gonna worry. I'm not gonna freak out.
And I'm not gonna wonder.
Now, on day one of the playoffs, when you give me the injury report and it says this guy can't play because of this. Then I will worry. He can't play. But right now, I'm not going to spend the next week and a half worrying about something that I don't know. what the result is going to be.
We are talking about soreness. Yeah, I would just like Grayson's not playing, and Pat's not playing, and Middleton sat out the rest of the game. It's also the end of the season. You got a two month like marathon coming up. We didn't, it's not game seven.
We don't need Middleton. We don't need, like, look at this. Look at this of your Chicago.
So I'm starting to look. At who the Bucs may match up against in the first round of the playoffs, because the 10 teams are set. In the East, it's just a matter of who's going to be in the play-in games and who's going to play us. Right now, as of now, The heat would play the hawks. The winner gets the seven seed.
The loser would play the winner of Raptors Bulls.
So Heat Hawks, Raptors, Bulls, we would play one of those teams. I think we would smoke the Heat. I think we would smoke the Hawks. I think the Raptors would steal a game early and get us all panicky, and then we'd blow them out. And if we're beating Chicago without Middleton and Giannis, they don't have a prayer.
DeRosan was ass tonight. Did he even do anything? Drew locked him down so hard. Yeah, he had eight points total, three for 12. Bucks, meanwhile, Portis, two double doubles in a row, back to back nights, 27 and 13 on this night, 26 for Lopez, 20 for Drew.
Uh Javon Carter, 16. Wes Matthews with a nice putback and seven points. We're beating him with these guys.
So. I'm not worried about that. Then we'll get into the second round, probably play the Cavs. I don't really have too much concern about the Calves. And then it's gonna be, you know, who is it between Philly and Boston?
So, this should be actually a pretty decent run here, as long as we don't fuck it up and get. Injured or freak out. And that's the thing. Um There's no signs of that yet, so don't worry. I think we're the ones that freak out.
I don't think the bots freak out, man. I don't think the box would get.
Well, they don't freak out. That's like one of Bud's best qualities: he doesn't freak out. Yeah, no! I I've I've come around to this guy. I mean, he's got to be doing something right.
He's drinking red wine. He's saying. Relax. Will be better. He's gotta be battered.
And so, yeah. And okay, they're telling that story.
Well they referenced that podcast that uh Bobby Portis does where he reached out to Giannis. Whatever that he was like the one that wanted to come play for the box, the box didn't reach out to him, whatever. There's something going on that It's it's The culture that they have built there to get all such a deep roster of everybody that believes in the philosophy of what they're doing. I don't know. They all know their roles.
And they're cool with it. Nobody is bitching. Can I use that word? I don't know. Yes.
Can you use that word? What digit?
Well, first time on the bars.
Now I I I know shit is fine, but Hey man. The bucks? Oh, is that a joke? Is that a chick's joke? Yes.
That was funny. All right, over our heads.
Okay. Nice. God. I forget about hanging out with some time. You definitely can't say bitches if you can't say chicks, because bitches is worse than checks.
Should I go on CBS tomorrow and be like, who's that? I'll say, who's that bitch from Iowa? Yeah, see, that's worse than who's that chick from Iowa. Who's that bitch from Iowa that keeps... Scored a bunch of points.
But I guarantee you. Oh, that'll be fine. No ambition. Oh, it means female dog. All right.
I'm going to say goodbye to Matt and to Austin. Fine. God bless guys Appreciate it. Enjoy that Chinese food. Don't let it put you to sleep too early.
I won't. How do you? And uh Yeah, you're looking good. Hey, thanks. Yeah.
Real Oh sure. I did borrow a phrase earlier, but I did credit. Our friends Cone Roller and Tony in Texas. I did a professional reset earlier. Oh, Tony.
So I made sure to credit you. Tony in Texas, what's up, buddy? Hey, oh, there goes the lead singer from the used. I'm sorry I need to talk to him. And, Bart, you gotta choose your words carefully.
We don't need a Don I in this situation talking about women's college basketball.
So please. Choose your words carefully tomorrow. And I gotta say this, Tim Shea. The city of Milwaukee is soon becoming the city of champions. Our Milwaukee Bucks, our Milwaukee Brewers.
And our Marquette Golden Eagles, top two in the nation next year. Tim Shay. Your Marquette Gold. Come on, Tony. I'm loving it.
I'm loving the vibe. Just came back from the final four part. Had a great time. It's fun, man. It was a good time.
It was my fourth final four I've been to, and it's always a fun time. There's a lot of activity. Did you go to the championship game too? Yeah, I went to the championship game. The tickets are so cheap.
you know i got in there for 50 bucks had a nice ticket and good time and met some uh good-looking san diego state people and it was a good time tim shea I love it. I love it, Tody.
So you saw the buzzer beater then? That's great. Yep, yep, saw that. And then we saw a blowout game, which we anticipated. I think I went on Grant Beale's show and said it'd be about a 15-point game.
And that's what happened. But you know, UConn, gotta give it up to UConn. That's a damn good basketball team. For Marquette Tim to beat them twice. I don't know what to think about that.
Is just Marquette a choking team or I I don't know. Because they beat UConn twice. Marquette, you know what? Marquette ran into Tom Izzo, probably the best coach out there.
So. I got you, Tim.
Well, you know, another team you are down on are Brewers, though, Tim. I pay. This team is exciting. I'm getting roped in. I might get the MLB extra innings package.
I love my brewer baseball. When the brewers are hitting all cylinders, there's not a place I'd rather be than Milwaukee, Wisconsin, July, Summerfest, Euchre. The lakefront, I love Tony. Tony, how you get, they are coming to Texas this year. What is that, Tim?
Uh, I gotta look at that by the way. I apologize for not inviting you. I think it's why do you love Milwaukee so much? Get your ass back here. Oh, he's coming.
End of April. That cold series. Yeah, I am going to be up there for the Tigers series in April. See? Even I know Tony's schedule.
Oh, I could do the uh Wednesday afternoon game. Wednesday day game. Hey, you know what, Tim, you know what my brother said? He goes, do not invite anyone from Bart's show with you. Why?
I don't know, because last time I brought Mike the Tainer. Oh, well, there's your first problem. Yeah. Mike was Mike was a good guest. But last time, I think I brought someone else.
Oh, no, I forgot what is. It wasn't Notebook Mike. But anyway, Tim, viewers are in Texas, August 18, 19, and 20. Oh, you know, Tony, get your tickets now. Keep your tickets now because Texas is a is a good team too.
Yeah, the Rangers are playing much better this year, but their payroll is so much higher.
So I gotta ask you this, Bart. Is Mark Antonascio being rewarded for bad behavior? That's better. No, they have to win now. They've got guys that are not going to get paid by them.
But they've got like there's this credit to their scouting department. They did well. They found some guys, they drafted some guys. And so And this is a good this is a good I don't know where everyone thinks I'd like to just shit on the brewers. Their social media has been great, their owner has been great.
Uh tater tots cost Like a buck fifty a piece. Tater Tots at Miller Park costs more like than wings do anywhere.
So that's fucking weird, but that's what I experienced today. We had a good time. Yeah, you did.
Okay, well, here's the deal. Here's the problem I've had with the brewers in the past, though, Bart. They bring in an Andrew McCutcheon, a Colton Wong. You know, Hunter Renfrew was okay. But those guys, there was no future there.
And they held these guys back maybe one year or two too many, in my opinion. Test user gave $5 to say cheese and rice. Because apparently, as I'm watching the YouTube comments, people are trying to super chat swear words, and it's not letting them. Good. And I want to know I'm not the one censoring.
But if YouTube's blocking words, that's costing. That's costing the pod money. That's money that we're investing to go on the road and do shows. Maybe some of these words, they do need a censor. Dawson gives five dollars to say Tony from Texas carries this podcast.
Hey, Dawson kept me. I had a long drive from Houston. Tim, Tim, you were too drunk. I needed some help to get home. I was so tired.
You passed out on me, but Dawson kept me up. And I was able to make it home safely.
So thank you, Dawson. Mm-hmm. Jake wants to know, will be there will the Damn it, part. This is an increasing problem where I can't read the comments. Did you take a gummy already, or what's the deal?
No, I didn't take a gummy yet, but I have not had this, I never had this problem reading in all my years. Oh, one other thing I wanted to say too. Then I'll get to Jake's comments. Is I guarantee you no one In sports radio. In any part of this country has talked more.
women's basketball in the last week than your boy. I've been on CBS Sports Radio. We're going on day number. Six in a row tomorrow. And I'm talking women's basketball.
Like it's the fucking NFL. Hey, I'm on basketball. More basketball is good with me.
Okay, so here's some Jake. Will there be some pitchers, i.e., Burns, that can't straight up perform effectively with a pitch clock? Is that the problem?
Well, yeah, I mean, that is a legitimate problem. Devin Williams is another one. I got a little, I'm concerned about that. Good point, Jake. What did I tell you, Bart, about Devin?
Austin says there seems to be a few aces that are struggling with their rhythm. With the clock, but it's still early.
So maybe that that that's something that I can look into. Yeah, you know what? Major League Baseball is definitely back. Hopefully, the ratings are up because when Major League Baseball, playoff baseball is at its best, there's not a more. compelling I think Playoff type of atmosphere like then baseball.
Milwaukee, October baseball, Tim Shea could be happening again. Tony, you got to come back. We'll go. October baseball. We're hitting everything.
October baseball, Milwaukee. I love it. Tim, I got to say this about Bart. I was on a date the other night, and my date, we were watching the YouTube. And my date goes, you know, Bart's got a very sexy voice.
Oh Bart. What about like my face? What about me? Bart had a very sexy voice, is what I was told. Not me?
That's all I was told. Damn it! You know what? In my history. of like women and I've only ever gotten one physical compliment.
about one part of my body. And girls would always say, I have nice eyes, which is nice, which is code for you're not a good-looking person.
So, you know, my order of good-looking men with nice eyes. Is going to be Mike the Painter, Bart, and Randall Cobb. Oh no, Randy's got better eyes than me.
Okay, we'll put Randall number one. You gotta be able to do that. You gotta put Randall number one.
So, anyway, all right, gentlemen, Brewer's box. Let's do it. It's going to be a great spring. And this is going to go all the way to the summer, Tim Shea, all the way to June. Tony, this is going to October.
October is. October, Mason. This is our year, Milwaukee versus the world, Tim Shay. Let's do it. Let's do it, gentlemen.
I love you guys. See ya. Bye, Tony. How come Barnes go Texas? Hook'em horns.
I feel like I've seen enough of you today. Yeah, I'm gonna wrap this up. Any other things that you want to comment on regarding our time spent together? I thought we had a nice day together. Yeah, it was a good time today.
You know, we walked around the ballpark. I'm sure you'll be hearing that. Or have already heard it. Yep. I've already heard it.
So. It was a good time. We should do it again. I liked it. I enjoyed our time.
I want to go back. I left the ballpark and said, I want more. I want more. More time with Bart.
So. Might have to hit up the next day game, which I think actually is Detroit.
So. Well, I love day games 'cause no one's there. And we could do the senior stroll. Scroll the warning track. Mm-hmm.
And I don't know where, like, Tim, Tim's got more hookups than anybody I've ever known. I don't know. I ain't paying for any of these tickets. This is great. I know too many people that work there too.
It's gonna keep stopping me. Oh well. It's good to see everybody. But no, I had a blast with you, Bart. Thank you for coming with me.
Dawson wants to know if we're going to be at the game on Saturday. He's going to get the jersey. I'll be there. Tim will be there, so Dawson hook up with Tim. I think Jerry is uh being sarcastic when he says I look equally as enthused.
As you are. Did you have fun? Good time.
Okay. All right. I had a really good time. Good. And we stayed for the entire game.
Thank you for the supply. Yeah. I think like You've become one of my better friends. See, look at that. Look at what you just admitted.
Like I like I trust you. And I uh Oh boy, here we go. I just I That's called acting. Tim has invited me to two games. I paid for no tickets.
This is what you do to pour it on to get it to continue.
Okay. All right, just a couple of things regarding what's up with our teams. The Brewers.
Now have a series against Saint Louis I may try to do something Sunday afternoon. It's tricky because it's Easter. We'll have a show Monday. I just don't know when. I'm going to do something.
Then they go out west. Nudge Nudge Monday is my birthday. Monday's your birthday? Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that.
Well, in a couple of days, I'll forget to tell you happy birthday. Thank you. Oh, we can get a post-game show in on a Wednesday afternoon game. I think that w that's doable. Uh as far as the Bucks, their season wraps up.
Uh This Sunday, right? Yeah, don't they have Toronto? And Toronto's on Sunday. Memphis is on Friday. Yeah.
Yeah, okay. Memphis. No starters play. I don't think anyone's playing the rest of the time. Nope.

39. 39, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we're both 38. We came on this planet within a month of each other.

Packers News.com, Green Bay Press Gazette. He was They're two rows, two sections over with his three kids. They're all Mets fans. That's awesome. And weird.
Uh who who's the one that gave him an autograph? Uh Nimmo, Brandon Nimmo. Yeah. Because you know, when you're like on these road games, you know, being road fans, and then you have the Mets jersey and there's three kids. I mean, You're always going to get it.
If you ever want a brewer autograph, go like a game in Cincinnati or some shit. A.J. Dillon was there. Saw that. Dylan was at the Bucs game too.
Oh, and he's back in the round. He's all over. My lord.
So, Brewer's got T. Lewis. I got tickets randomly given to me by Boomer Scott's son. On Twitter. He sent them to me.
