Good morning, everybody. Opening day. Hi, honey. I'm recording. Hi.
She said, I said good morning, everybody, right as she got home. And, uh, Okay. Eric's here from Miller Park Minute. I jump on with him a little bit from time to time. You catch him.
Are you cranking him out every day on YouTube? Still, still every day. I was actually deathly sick this last week, and I still managed to figure out a way. They were probably the worst episodes I've ever recorded, but I recorded them.
So they're there. No, the ones you did in January were pretty shitty, too. Yeah, that's true. I'm just kidding. But it's nice.
I mean, if you're talking brewers every day, it's nice to finally have some baseball to talk about. Oh my gosh. It's revolutionary to actually be like. ready for meaningful games. I'm actually like planning segments.
Not just reading the news because that's what I have kind of been doing a little basically, reacting to stories and stuff like that, is what I kind of, yeah, well, the offseason, uh, sometimes it's fun, sometimes it sucks, but that won't come again till. Early October, maybe longer.
So again, baseball starts Today. It is Thursday, March 30th. We're starting today. Brewers at Wrigley. I think the game should get in.
There was a little bit of weather concern. I think we're fine. Friday's the rain makeup day. We'll see. And then they'll they'll finish in the weekend.
It's gonna be a fun weekend for me. Actually, just to get it out there right now. I am doing seven straight days of CBS radio. Including, oh, we might get up to 52 today in Chicago. All right.
I'm doing seven days, seven straight days of CBS Sports Radio. I'm doing Saturday shift, Sunday shift, filling in for writer than you next week in the 9 to 11. And the thing that I'm going to be doing the most. outside of those shifts. Is watching The Brewers and watching baseball.
WrestleMania. Oh yeah, WrestleMania. WrestleMania. But when I go to national radio. And I was telling you this the other day.
It's like Baseballs are relevant. Doing a local show, a Wisconsin show, whether it's radio, podcasts, whatever. Whatever you call what we do. It can get very nuanced. We can talk about.
What do you think Abraham Toro's impact on the 2023 season might be if he gets called up later? Or Freelick and Weimer? I mean, who's going to have the better year? Terang, how is he? I mean, it's so minute.
In baseball, there aren't really those stories like. In the NFL, I can talk about Lamar Jackson this weekend. I can talk about Rodgers. I can talk about the draft. In baseball, all you can really do is like make fun of The Angels for having Shohei and Trout and never winning.
Anything in the MLB, but you can't really do it.
So, what I like about still having this. and and you're showing these outlets is we can really break down the team. And kind of follow them. And I think that.
Now that I'm done being mad about All the weird off-season stuff. I'm at the point where. I'm going to say. No worse than 500. 87, 88 might be where I top out.
The over-under in Vegas. It's pretty consistently around 86 and a half. They're about 2-1 odds to win the Central. Cardinals are 1-1. You Like I aren't you like a 90 win guy?
Yeah, I've said anywhere from 92 to 96, 97.
So, what year do you think it is? I'm throwing it back to 2018. Do you think this team even won 95 games? I think with everything working out and to be positive about it, yes. I.
I think we have, we are rated the second best rotation. in all of the major leagues. Where we need to pick up is the bats and adding a guy like Jesse Winker, adding.
Some young pop in Contreras Even Christian Yelich coming back to a Miami Marlins form. would be Amazing for this team. Good morning. Absolutely amazing. And I think those things could happen.
Plus, you've got a Rowdy Tales, you've got a William Adamas, and you've got some young guys that want to prove themselves that could potentially. Be in rookie of the year conversations. You know, even these Weimers and these Freelix, if they come up, or even Garrett Mitchell, you know, could be in Rookie of the Year conversations if they. go off, you know? I think so with me, with uh the Brewers, and maybe it's like this with every other team, but I feel like I've been saying the same thing the last Five years is is that word if?
You know, Because the pitching has been consistently good. Whether it's been Woodruff or now Burns, you know, Peralta for a long time. as well. Uh, the bullpen now, obviously, without hater, but I think we can get past that, hopefully. But it's always the pitching the pitching will get us A certain amount of Of a head start.
That's a good part of the team. Even going. Lower and Miley is your 4-5. That's. I mean, these kind of guys were your one-twos a long time ago.
So a pitching staff is good. And the bullpen They're going to be shuttling that in and out. all year so We'll see. 51 plays last year. They went through two.
It's if Brett Anderson, it's if Jesse Winker. It's. If, if, if. You need like four or five ifs. And so what I was thinking this morning.
Uh biggie was that There it because I'm so much a Marvel guy.
So there is a timeline. We're in the next two years. The Brewers win the World Series. That is a possibility. That is possible.
I don't know. Like What percent chance I would give that. I think they because they need to find the mix of these guys hitting. The guys that are coming up. The guys are taking chances on.
And then the pinching staff. And then what's going to happen is. You're kind of in this like two-year. It's not a window. It's kind of like a transition thing.
Because if the hitters Come up next year.
Well, then you might have to say goodbye to Burns at some point. You might have said goodbye to Woodruff at some point. William Domas, you're going to have to say goodbye to.
So you need You almost need these guys that If, if, if. There is a chance. I'm not saying there's no chance. I don't know that it's as strong as it was in years. Pass, but I'm at the point right now.
And and maybe it's 'cause we missed the playoffs. To come into a season with 95 win expectations, I'm only going to be disappointed.
So I'm coming in thinking they're going to win somewhere between 81 and 87. I think a playoff berth is possible. And then from there, baseball pretty much lets anybody have a chance at it.
So. I may be less optimistic than you. In terms of wins. But in a weird way, I'm more excited to watch it.
Sometimes with baseball, having expectations is bad. Right.
Well, and look at you can you can you can speak to what we've done. Historically, Um 2018 we had A great offseason where we got Lorenzo Kane and Christian Yelich. And But I still don't feel that there was an expectation at that point. It was like, okay, then we made some big moves, but there was no expectation to what we became from there, you know? And Mm-hmm.
We went we almost went to the World Series.
Well We should have went to the World Series. Yeah, I agree.
Now, if if if My house is on the line. I think 2018 is going to be the farthest they ever get in my lifetime. But There is a timeline.
So what I'm saying is I'm not completely. Ruling it out. And I think for me, that's a big step for me. I do. That's awesome.
Congratulations on that. I think it's a big step. I've spoken pretty optimistically over the years about the Milwaukee Brewers.
So for me it's always it's always what where how far off am i going to be Um there's some times where I've been Dead Dead Nuts On? And there's some times where I've been really off.
Well, do you always take them to win 95 games? Oh, okay. But that's the thing, like that's the optimistics, optimistic side of me. Who's someone you're excited for? I think that.
I think that Wilson Contreras. Is going to be everybody's favorite brewer by July 4th. Wilson Contraris. And by that I mean William. I think Garrett Mitchell's going to be one.
Um we have William, right? Yeah, we have volume. I think Mitchell is going to be one, and I think you're going to see a lot of pop for Terang this season. um just with where tarang has been Um organizationally And I think he's got the most to prove out of any of these prospects because all of a sudden, remember, Terang was the big one for a while. And then all of a sudden, it became about these outfield prospects.
So Terang's got his chance now. You know what I mean? And Lusig Ersig, who pitches now. They got what? Lucas Ersig, who pitches.
Oh, yeah. He was a fielding prospect, though, like for a long time. And now he's a pitcher. Yeah, that was weird. I love it.
Who do you have? Last question for you. Cody or Roman? Totally. Did you see the belt?
What about the bells? Do you see the belt that they're showing on on like all these sources that they're redoing the belt for Cody and He's going to have his own like nightmare championship. It's the main thing. I don't like when they do that. It's it's it's cool though, like because if they bring back that old winged eagle belt and they get rid of the Universal, not that I don't like the universal belt.
Yeah, I read Triple H wants to get rid of that. But I I don't know if you can see it, am I? Yeah, side there. It's right down there. I showed it two once before.
But yeah, if they could do that. I don't know. What do you I'll ask you and put this on your podcast. What do you think of Freemason jumping into the podcast world? Oh, I love it.
I love that both and I did shows crapping on podcasts forever. Yeah, we're both doing podcasts. And now the collab is this close. The Twitter conversations are already there, the ads are already there. I saw it.
Look, I don't mind.
Okay, the thing I always got mad about with podcasts was People are always like, Bart, do a podcast. I want to listen to you, but I can't get the radio. And I'm like, moron. My show is four hours of a podcast. We put it out on a podcast, and they're like, no.
It needs to sound like a podcast, not a radio show. I'm like, what is the difference?
So that then I was out, then people would always be like, I don't know. I get upset about everything that ever happens. And now that Freemas is doing lockdown brewers. I I will go on Lockdown Brewers. As soon as he comes on the Bart Winkler show.
So if we're gonna have a Bart and Chuck reunion. I ain't giving it away to lockdown brewers. It's coming here first. It's either going to be on stage. at the Turner Ballroom.
Or it's going to be on the Bart Winkler show, okay? Fair enough. Is that a fair answer for you? Yeah. Charlotte or Rhea.
Oh God. Dude, I haven't watched a Rhea segment in six months. I fast-forward her every time she's on. I don't know why. I can't stand anything she says.
I The only good part about that act is Dominic Mysterio. Damien Priest, I skip. Finn Balor sucks. I hate when he does the demon. I hope he gets crushed.
Get out of here. Where's in my hat? Are you doing a WrestleMania Picks? Are you going to do a WrestleMania Picks episode? Yeah, I'll throw something out there.
I think it's pretty standard. who's gonna win all the matches, but I'll go with Cody. Cody. All right, man. It was fun.

See you guys. Look at that. I don't know this this will this YouTube video will be worth millions of dollars and Bryson goes pro. I believe he jumped on and said, I could. Guard Drew Holiday.
Ask him if he bank. No, we're not talking. about uh that. Tak B says best team I've ever seen.
So here's what happened tonight in this Bucs game: 149 to 136. And I would like to discuss. The Boston Bucks game with you. That'll be Thursday night. In terms of what the Bucs strategy could be, should be.
Hear me out on that in a minute. But as far as the achievements In the Bucs Pacers game. Right away, Giannis was having a big night. And he was an assist away from a triple-double. In the uh in the first half.
Got that ninth, tenth assist, rather. To start the second, finish with 38, 17, and 12.
So big night for Giannis. And then Drew. Was it 29 at the end of the first half, I think? twenty nine, twenty eight, something like that. I had it written down on my phone, but It's charging upstairs.
I'm very prepared here. But 51 points. On the night for Drew. Guy took 30 shots, made 20 of them. Three six from three, eight from ten from the stripe.
Eight assists to boot. Huge night for Drew Holiday. Brooke added 21 as well. Grayson had three points. Two of them were Maybe the best two points of the year with that coast to coast dunk.
Javon Carter, Bobby Portis. And some other guys rounding out the minutes. As well. Conneton did not do much. Oh for two.
From three for three overall. We've been talking about him a lot this week. Buck shot 40% from three and 62% overall. This was a track meet. It was 149, 136.
For tonight, we celebrate, but again, I also want to look ahead a little bit. To uh Tomorrow. Uh which is Thursday, which Whatever. You listen to this when you listen to it. Happy 4th of July to Austin.
Not Austin, but Vincent. Austin's right here. Austin, what's up, buddy? Bardey. Good win, man.
Last night I watched the Celtics game in a hope for a loss and. You know, thank God for Toby Altizer. you know, keeping that Keeping that Washington sports. going for us, you know, when we need it. Yeah, Celtics lose on Tuesday night.
To Washington, 131 to 111. My God, I don't know what it is. I've lost the ability to read. I really have. I have awesome, I try to read tweets.
On Wednesday's show with Paul, he had to like reread him for me. I can't read anymore. Yeah. Um So that was fantastic. And then this game, I.
Uh Because I was kind of watching some of it, and then I was doing something else, and then I got hooked into it.
So my thing about it was I heard a lot of talk about how We're going to be sitting. Too many people, and I thought it was great that we played, that they played their. Ass off and Started a lot of guys. I know Chris missed. But like getting them, there's only a couple games left and getting them ready for playoff season.
Like, now you're going to go play Boston tomorrow, and you're going to be a little. You know, you're not going to be gassed. But You know, you got to get used to the grind of what the next.
Well, that's what I wonder.
So. What I wonder about Thursday's game is This wasn't just like. A normal game. This was cardio, man. This was a cardio game.
These guys churned and burned. And so I wonder if I wonder if they rest some guys against Boston. Which would freak a lot of people out. But Boston losing to Washington. I think it gives you some cushion.
But okay, so series is number one, right? Uh The series is one-to-one. Yeah, so it'd be a tiebreaker. Yeah, so why would you rest them?
So I think what they're doing is like, hey, get ready, you know, the endurance, you know, like, The And the beginning, most 80% of the season is the rest management.
Now, like, you're in the position. And it's, hey, get geared up. You know, we're going to do. You know, we're going to start with one mile lapse, then you're going to do two, then three, and now get ready for the marathon.
Well, let me ask uh let me bring Q in on this, who's wearing his Drew Holiday. Olympic jersey, very nice. Let's go. Very, very well done. The Q theory is the second game of a back-to-back is a fake game.
Right.
We but we we did this right.
So we already We already rested. Because Chris wrestled. Because they arrested Middleton, but. Like they they worked their ass off tonight. Joe rested.
J or uh Crowd arrested. I don't know. I feel like. Like the depth on this team should be able to keep it going. Giannis didn't play that much in the third quarter.
And then I feel like Drew's fired up because he got robbed by the guy from Morgan Stanley. Um so that's a good take. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like he's already got to earn his next contract four years from now.
Morgan Stanley took half of this one. I'm feeling confident. I'm feeling a double-digit win tomorrow. Q, you going tomorrow? No, no, I sold my tickets.
Okay, I'm going to be there.
So, if I can get back on time, I'll try to hop on. I'm going back. Wow, hashtag fake fan, Jesus. Wednesday, I'll be there.
So, against the bulls. Yeah, when they really need you, Q. Yeah, exactly. I hope so. Jeez.
Hashtag fake fan. I feel like I'm a true fan because I'm in it for the playoffs. You sold your tickets to the Celtics fan. We got to get that one seed. I don't know who it went to, but I guarantee that the.
If it is a Celtics fan, they um They won't make a difference. That's a big guarantee.
So but but okay, so why would even Why would even entertain the notion of like Resting guys or whatever is. This is a big game. With the regular season, you're pretty much locking up the one if you win it. But do you risk Showing too much. Is there that concern for anybody?
Yeah. Because if you see the Celtics It's not going to be until. The end of May. The Celtics are imploding. Right.
Like they just lost by 20 points. Uh I don't think they're that concerned about that. Everybody knows that Washington is a tough place to play, man. Everybody knows it. And we're playing a game there.
No, I'm just fine. I have. It's not that great of an arena. I know. Johnny Davis.
Had seven huge points. In that game. I feel like the Celtics are walking backwards into the playoffs. They are. The Milwaukee Brewers of the NBA.
Oh yeah, possibly. The thing that worries me less about the Celtics overall Is Last year's series. The Bucs did not have Middleton. And they already used up their bullshit. Like points.
They use their bullshit points with Al Horford and Grant Williams. They used other bullshit points against us last year. They're not they're not with Middleton back With the depth that we have. Like they're not they're not doing it again.
So we're better And they've already ran out of their bullshit meter. And I feel less. scared about the Celtics than I once maybe did. They have a worst coach. Like, they have a first-year head coach.
Like, he's going to get owned in the playoffs, even by Bud. They After they had to fire that coach for that scandal. or whatever Yeah, they're a good team, but whatever they had with that coach. That was the difference maker they had. And They're not the same team that they were a year ago, regardless of what Ram says.
Bram God, he is yet to be on the pod. Yeah, yeah, well. It's not like he doesn't know we're here. He's on Twitter. I post the links every night.
I know he is. Yeah. I don't know. He'll show up if we lose in the playoffs. He's pretty consistent.
I got Austin here. I got Q here. But like What's nice is I don't feel like this team is reliant on Chris anymore. Like, he's not our second best player. It's definitely Drew Holiday or Brooke Lopez.
That's what I wanted to talk about a couple of weeks ago. And we kind of did like. What is the least amount of minutes that you need from Chris? They don't, in a series against the Celtics. They don't need 35 minutes of Chris.
They just need his 15 to 18 points, though.
So then, are you coming? Are you playing from the bench? I think you start him. He's earned a starting spot. Oh, I'm sure.
I know he's earned it, and he's a great starter, but if you're only going to. If you're only gonna like, I don't know, I just maybe there's a different way to use. Chris, I don't, I'm, I'm, I'm just, a lot of what I'm doing tonight is just Just talking through it. I'm not saying Buck should rest anybody. I'm not saying, you know, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, you know, I just think that there's Buck's topics that need to be addressed.
Here I am constantly every day looking online, and there are other shows out there as if they are baiting me, as if they are trying their hardest to get me to comment and say something stupid when they post two-minute videos of a discussion today. On the game, about have you noticed celebrities don't wear jackets? I'm not even fucking kidding with you. How do I not post? How do I not comment on that?
How do I not do anything? But I'm trying, I'm trying to keep it cool. I'm trying to keep it cool.
So I'm just throwing out topics. Maybe they pick one up. All I've ever wanted, Q, Austin, everyone. When I got dismissed. And by the way.
Seven straight days of CBS Sports Radio starting Saturday.
Okay, seven straight days, weekend, weekend, righter than you, all week. Seven straight days, okay. It's the Winklerverse. Don't tell me I'm not on Milwaukee radio. I'm on Milwaukee radio.
I'm on El Paso radio. I'm on Anchorage, Alaska Radio. I'm on. Bum fuck Michigan radio. I'm all over the goddamn place.
Okay, tell me I'm not on radio. But I lost my train of thought, and now I've remembered it. All I've ever wanted was for sports radio to be good in this town. And nobody stepped up to the mantle. Yeah.
Every time I turn on a different station, it uh It's Wisconsin Badgers NIT Talk. That's better than talking about celebrities not wearing jackets.
Okay, well, okay, I'm glad I missed that. But uh honestly, uh to talk about the box Please, I just needed a little bit of a message. Is I wouldn't say start them off the bench, you or bring them off the bench, you start them. And limit his minutes a little bit with that starting pull him off. And then bring him in so that he can start.
Start quote marks. With the bench, and he can be, but I mean, that guy, when he's on the team, his win-plus ratio is incredible.
So Uh Anybody that wants him off the team, it doesn't make sense to me. I think he needs to be. He needs 25, 28, 30 minutes a game. I do think that he makes an impact. Just by the mere threat of what he can bring offensively.
And I think his dribbling has gotten better. And he's not too bad defensively either. Joe wants to know, is the D an issue? Look, I don't want to talk about it too much, but I haven't been performing as well as I've wanted to in recent. Uh The defense.
No, I think the defense is fine. Look, a lot of times they were scoring and then. The Pacers would just whip it down the court and score again. It was like. It was like the shot clock was five tonight.
I mean it it was we didn't care. They were working on offense tonight. They weren't working on defense. And then, like. The entire second half, they were just trying to get Drew to 50 points.
So it was like, it wasn't, I mean, it was a very fun game, but it wasn't like a real. NBA game.
So my never real. Never real. What is it? When is the real next real game? It starts when the playoffs start.
Which we've been saying since the season started in October. Yeah. Said that when the playoffs ended, and we're like, when does the NBA really count again? Because we know. Isn't that your old take?
It's like playing Mario. You know? Doing it? You just waiting to get to the to the playoffs. You just gotta go.
Yeah, when you play a video game. And you die, there's checkpoints. Yeah. We're at the checkpoint. There's no checkpoint.
Then you got to start all the way at the fucking beginning. We're about to be at the checkpoint, my friends. Anyway. Love you guys, Q. I'm going to let you Tilbert.
I'm hopping out. I'll hit the YouTube. All right, buddy.
So m my cris take is Chris We're at the point now as a team. Chris will not lose us a lot of games. But he definitely will win us some games and he puts us in a better chance to win a series when we're getting Like 25, 30 minutes from him. But I think, Bart, my question for you on Chris Middleton and minutes usage is. It's kind of like clay with your warriors.
Like, what have the warriors done? What did they do last year with Clay? What have they done in other finals runs where he's been coming back from injury? Um Well, they they need clay. The Warriors need clay to score like thirty a night if they're gonna do anything.
Well, I mean, now this year they do. They didn't last year. Right.
Yeah. Yeah. And that's great. That's part of the luxury, which maybe not playing Chris 35 minutes a night, and we're just. kind of assuming here, but maybe that does open up more time for Um You know, whoever to get some run.
I saw Grant Bill's tweet. He said, uh How are we going to react when AJ Green gets meaningful playoff minutes? I would put over-under Bucs game one in the playoffs. Over under. Two and a half minutes for AJ Green in game one.
I would put that over. But then I would put Under zero the rest of the game. Like he will play two and a half minutes in the game in the first game. And game in the quarter one. The am I saying I raced?
Well, I mean, the NASA's is going to get in too because we're going to be up 20 points. That too. Game. Like The first series, if you're the one seed. The first series is usually a joke.
We'll look at that in a sec. I'm going to bring in Teacher Tom. Teacher Tom, who leaves voicemails on the Carls Place voicemail line. Hi. Hey, are you wearing what you were tweeting?
Yes. Teacher Tom just got the Jordan Love jersey. Nice. It arrived today. What kind of jersey is that?
Yeah, what jersey is that? It's the salute the troops. Oh. The owned voices. I don't recall them ever wearing that in a game.
It's very nice.
Well, this was seventy dollars on Fnatics, whereas from the Packers website it was a hundred and thirty for one of the whiter green ones. Oh. Yeah, you know what? I just I have a goodwill pile down here. And I just um I just took a Rogers jersey I never wore.
I put that in the pile. And then my son got a Rogers jersey. From his uncle. Still got the tag on it, 25 bucks, never worn. It's in the pile.
My four-year-old has had at least three and maybe four Aaron Roger jerseys already. It sucks. At least he's outgrown them. Hey, does anybody know what this language is? I got a YouTube comment here.
You gotta be on the video to see it. It's like it's Russian. Yeah, I was gonna guess Russian. How do I like copy and paste it? I don't know.
They must be a Rogers supporter. Hmm. Oh, he says, good job, guys. That's some translation. Nice.
Right.
Anything else, Tom? What'd you have? You just want to show off the jersey? I was excited the jersey came today. Yeah.
And then See? Oh, it's Greek. This is Greek. Oh, cool. Yeah, Tom got Omaha steaks.
Yes. Tom got. Tom's the one guy that's ordered all my hot steaks. Did you? Did you get the tartlets too?
No, we got I got the value freezer filler, something like that. You order Norma Hot Steaks and get the then get the apple tartlets? It wasn't in the package that I that I decided to order. A son of a bitch. We got to get this man some tartlets.
Okay, according to TT, this right here, this script. Means take the trophy already. Yes. Which I will take you at your word. Yeah.
How do you say how did I not know this was Greek? I'm putting chair in Greek. How do you say put the chairs out in Greek? Yeah, put the chairs out. That's what we say in.
The Winklerverse. Yeah. I put my chairs out in 2020. Tom did put the chairs out. You were one of the guys.
Yeah, this guy over here, Q. Put no chairs out, any selling tickets to Celtics fans.
So now that we have a new mayor in Milwaukee, can we get our chairs back? Yeah. Yeah, Barrett was such a stick up his ass. Maybe. Maybe new guy whose name I totally forgot.
Kevaliu Johnson. Yeah, Kev. Maybe my man. Maybe my man CJ will help me out. I'll get in touch.
That dude loves some publicity. I bet he would come and sit in the chairs with you to be on the podcast. I bet he would. He tweets all the time when he's doing stuff. Yeah.
All right, I'm going to get the mayor on the pod. I'm going to ask him. Uh Wait win the hop when they're gonna realize that was a mistake. Yeah. All right, guys.
I'm going to dip on you guys. I'm going to bring in Joe here. Thanks, Bart.
Okay, good night. Looking good, Tom. Thanks for the jersey plug. Thanks for buying the steaks. You're welcome.
Buy more. No, you don't have to. See you, bud. Teacher Tom. Uh And Q.
And I'll bring in Joe in Iowa. What's up, Bart? How you doing, man? Hey, I uh I was feeling bad today, and I went to Omaha Stakes to bought those to use your promo code, and right on the front page, it says $30 off. Yeah.
Also, they have like a $250 like dry-edge stick on there.
Sorry, man. No, there's packages that you can. I don't know. I'm gonna stick with my fight to get Happy PlayStation here in Iowa.
Okay, the thing about Omaha steaks though is that coat is everywhere. Yeah. I do commercials. There's commercials that run when I'm doing CBS Sports Radio. They're like, Omaha Steaks, promo code, CBS.
Fuck you. That's fantastic.
So, you were talking about your D problems earlier, and so our son Jackson had. Was playing basketball earlier this year and where's this going? We had to tell my mother-in-law that she can't yell go big D anymore. Like, big D. She can't yell big D energy.
in eighth grade basketball games anymore. We had to explain to her what that meant, which it just encouraged her to yell it even more.
Well, yeah, I feel like you should be able to do that. The the more D puns you have, the better. That's true. Especially well, maybe not in eighth grade when everybody's Maybe not by your grandma in eighth grade. Yeah, I don't know.
I've got the whole team here today. Who what what's the youngest person by you? 13. Listen, my three-year-old listens to you on the way to school every morning and Tony from Texas, you know, notwithstanding the other day, His biggest problems are when somebody says stupid or shut up, like F-bombs, anything like that, no big deal. But if somebody says stupid, it's a big red flag for him.
Oh, well, good. Does he not know what the F-word is? No, he's very well aware. He's He's got a mother who's got a mouth like a sailor. Yeah.
You're not wrong. We uh I made the mistake of I made the mistake of um You know, books that's like.
Something's different, something's not right, something. Five. Instead of like, what's wrong with this picture? The first time we did when I said. What the fuck is wrong?
And so now he goes, I want to read what the fuck book.
Okay. That's good. I'm like, oh shit. That actually reminded me. I was thinking about that while I was listening to you earlier today.
How are you going to go back to seven days of being on the radio and not being able to swear like this anymore? Oh, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, I got a mental trigger in my head. Do you?
Okay, good for you.
Well, because I swear all the time. I swear every fourth word mouth. What is the fuck? You got Work through it. Breathe through it.
We're fine. We're good. Who cares if I can't swear on the radio? I don't think I can speak. I gotta be able to speak.
Um Uh, what was I gonna say? Shit, I heard something. I don't know. You you threw me off by not being able to speak yourself.
Something about four four. Didn't you did you tweet me a question today or something? No, I was telling you that you need to do a whole segment of mm-hmm mm-mm on grocery stores. And I started it by saying what. My thoughts were on Hy-V and it was a big mm-mm.
I've only been to one and it was a crap hole. They're everywhere here. We have two grocery store selections here, other than like we have one Trader Joe's and a Whole Foods, but. There's high-vis everywhere because they're based here in Des Moines. And then there's a place called Price Chopper out of Kansas City.
Both had garbage. Price chopper. Yeah. What I wouldn't do for like I don't know. Like a pick and save?
Pick and save, you know. I go back home to Wisconsin. Pick and saves are great, pigglywiggly. I mean, that's just fun to say. Yeah, how come uh we were talking about gas station culture the other night?
How come how come uh There's not like grocery, like, people don't. You might like, I like festival, I like pig, pigly, pig and save. But nobody goes crazy for like... The grocery store, the way they do for quick trip. Here they do.
Lines are drawn in the sand here, like they are.
However, do you guys have? I know you have Casey's, which is also based here, but we have come and go.
So that's. That's something we have here. Yeah, absolutely. And that's a true story. Come and go.
Come and go. Come and go, yeah. K-U-M And go. They're excellent on the social medias. Yeah, they're good on social media.
You should check them out. They rival. There are a lot of jokes about. coming and going. Yeah, they lean pretty hard into that.
But the source of that. See, I can probably get a social media job as well. I can do that. I'm also really good on fighting for. Trans and LGBTQ rights year in Iowa, which is, you know, a goddamn wildfire right now.
So good for them.
Well, I don't know if you know this. I mean, you live there, but. And not to get all political or anything, but no, please, let's go ahead and no, I just want to say one thing that. Iowa sucks. Really?
I believe I mentioned this on a previous call, but my Jackson, who's standing over here, has a shirt that literally says. Number one thing to do in Iowa, leave. Leave. But you've made a beautiful home for yourself, I'm sure. It's not bad.
Oh, you said you got the Pacers broadcast. I did. And oh my God, it was awful. How? Because somehow, I don't know, we're in this.
vortex of hell that we get all these like random Cities that are home in Des Moines.
So I couldn't play. Did you get like Bally Sports Pacers? I get Bally Sports. It's like Extended Midwest or something. It's called here.
But it was the Pacers broadcast. Usually I watch. The Bucks Bally on League Pass, but couldn't get it today. And the whole time These broadcasters were just awful. They're like, oh, these guys are so old.
They're just like one game away from being hurt. Nobody's playing out here except Giannis and Drew. I was like, these guys are kicking the hell shit out of you right now. What are we talking about? How about Jordan Wire tonight?
I thought he'd have a bigger night. You know, he looked good. I don't know. That first game they played against him, he put up what 30 You know, I like to see these guys succeed. You know, like Christian Wood and Diakite is getting some time now, I think, with the Cavs because they're all banged up.
And Laura here and Mamu. Like, it's just, it's just part of. It's just part of the like they're They're not I don't know. I don't know how good they really are, but I'd like to see them get some run. Like We're a championship team.
We're a championship level team. Those spots need to be taken up by Joe Ingalls and Goren Dragic. And even Pat Connetton. We don't. You don't have time for that.
There will be a day when Giannis leaves and Brooke leaves and everyone leaves. Like earlier today, I was. I mean, I've got a special place in my heart for him because of what he did on the championship run team a couple of years ago.
So I Sam Merrill? No, Conneton. Oh, well, yeah. You were saying that you didn't want to give him, and I think it was Grant who was saying that he wanted to give him some grace and. See how he can do when the playoffs come around.
But I mean, you're right. I mean, he's a different guy this year than he was then. Congrats to MC Lee. He leaves a comment. He says, I never watched the NBA, but I did bet Drew's PRA over.
That's points plus rebounds plus assist. It was set at 29 and a half. Drew had 51 points, and the total PRA was 67.
So. Wow. Good win for you. M C Shame you didn't put a little more on it, but that's. That's how the cookie crumbles.
Aren't you in like baseball hell zone where you can't watch like anybody?
So what do you do? I'm not sure you're not a brewer guy. No, I'm a brewer guy. I don't watch baseball a lot.
So I've got the MLB app, and I can just listen to it. you know throw it on what I'm doing, working or whatever.
So watching the Brewers doesn't really affect me. I'll go to a game here or there. My guy I brought my dad turned 70 last week and we got him tickets to opening day.
So So that'd be great.
So you're going? I'm not. No, just I just I'm just in my parents. Yeah. Um Well, that should be fun for him.
So But no, I'll just listen to Euchre. I went to opening day once to interview people in the Parking lot. I just went up to him. I said, hey, what are you doing? What the hell are you doing here?
That was my bit. And some guy goes. I've never been to an opening day, and I found out I have six weeks to live.
So, why the hell not? There's no coming back from that. I was like So Do you think they'll win the World Series? Yeah. I don't know.
Let me know. Let me know. Um, that's awful. That's terrible. Like, what traits do you want to see?
Let's go with that, Bart. Should I just like. Should I just leave? Like what direction do we go after this? I ask myself that a lot after a lot of shows.
Corey says I should get him on the show. Cool. Tough looking. Good eye nowhere. Shut up.
Come on. All right, Joe, yeah, you should get out of here before I ruin your life. Yeah. Good to see you, man. Good to see you.
See you later. Be well. Bye. Peace out. To uh recap I think the Brewers won that day.
Happy ending to the story. Uh all right. Bucks win tonight. I'm going to dip unless anybody else wants to jump on. Oh, no, the other thing I wanted to talk about.
Oh, look at this. Just as I said, I was leaving. From a fantasy draft. The side. Tim, if you're busy, don't join.
I'm I got ways to go. How into the draft are you? Oh. I don't know. Fourteen picks uh Uh Uh round 15.
Yeah. How many rounds you go? Twenty-seven. And is it like just snake? Yeah.
All right, well who you got? Who? No, no, who did he refer to? This league. Oh, this league.
Well oh yes. You did rip our fantasy league last year on air. Yeah. Yeah. What I why oh why why why um Because of Every is daily fantasy.
Peter zero. I like Daily Fantasy. No. No, not l not your daily fam like you change your lineup every day. Yeah, I like that.
You like that? No, no. That's not what you said last year. You did not say that. I don't know.
Totally dead. No. He made fun of James every day. Who does that? That's stupid.
I don't know. No, I was probably just. I was probably just being a dick to Tim. I like it. I like Daily Fantasy.
My first pick was Aaron Judge. How many brewers do you have? Like seven? Two. Who?
Wait, don't tell me. You fucking took yell at you, pussy. The guy across from me took Yalech. Who else? I have Contreras and Brandon Odras.
Contreras is hitting 25 bombs this year. I'll remember that. He'll be everyone's favorite brewer by August 1st.
Okay, all right. Tim, a bunch of people just joined. Do you want to stay or do you want to come back? I'll come back.
Alright, see ya. Goodbye. Right.
All right, let's get a four-box quad box. All-star crew here. Matt in the Falls. Yeah. With an ice cream cone.
Hot take shake. Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah. Wearing that Brewer's hat with pride. Brett and Tosa.
Wow. Wow. Not lit at all. What's up, fellas? What's up?
Yeah. I just came on to say that ice cream. Oh, chocolate shit. Damn, that's the that's the high end stuff. All right, Jake, what'd you have?
Uh shame on every one of you a-holes that wanted Grayson traded. Yeah, big three points. You can all SAD. That dunk alone was worth Keeping him around. You know what?
I absolutely agree with you. Yeah. I know you did not want to trade Grayson. I will give you a hit. Never hate on that.
You don't trade a guy like that. I definitely didn't. Yeah, uh Matt and either you don't trade a guy. Who Is a nuisance to every team hates him. Yeah.
You exploit that guy. Let's also talk about how the Bucks, like historically, they just never have a guy who can hit a three, and then you have a guy who's shooting like 42% from three. And let's get rid of them. Stupid. But that was fun.
Um I'm not going to be negative on the game because, you know, it was clear that, like, yeah, it's Indiana. We can just, you know, if we really have to. You can find a way to be negative about this game. I tried. I did my best.
I'm sorry. I'll pull that piercing right off your lip. You love it. What else you got? I want to hear from the other boys.
I said one thing, and I want to buy it. I thought the game was great. Um I think the Pacers are a very interesting team. Um Alright. But they're still they're still like a star away.
Like they have a few very good players, but I just I think they're gonna meddle in that like four to six range. For a long time, like they're they're not like eight to eleven. Oh, I disagree. There's all these teams. Pacers do this.
Magic do this, pistons do this, they're like never good. I mean, the Knicks are the five-seed right now. Like, the East is not. It's the top three. And then, like, the calves are pretty good.
And then it's. There's room. There's room for people to advance. Q's right. They were pretty depleted tonight.
No help. They gave us a run. They got. I can't say his last name, but they got that rookie, Mathurison. Matherin?
Matherin. Yeah, I just call him Benny M. His name it when I say it, it sounds like I'm I'm um I've got a lisp, so I I I always forget how to say it, but Matherin. That's all right. Yeah, and they're just sorry, I just got some hockey on, and hockey OT is incredible.
In case you haven't noticed, they do three on three now. Cool. Can't wait to break it down. Waiting for the wild to start speaking of wild stuff. But yeah, Bucs were great.
Drew was great. Really wanted to be honest to get 40. Didn't happen, it's okay. Um Connoton, I don't want, you know. I think he should be out of the rotation pretty soon with the way he's playing.
Hopefully that heals itself and Bud figures that out. That freaks me out.
Well, Conaton, I'm really worried about it. I'm not worried about it. We can replace his minutes, no problem. No, that's not what I'm worried about at all. I'm worried about Budenholzer because he ran George Hill's old ass out there despite having Javon Carter at the ready last year, and it killed them.
And I'm afraid Budenholzer is just going to be like, this is our guy. And he's just going to ride that thing into the ground. That's my only concern. Their depth is good. They have guys.
It's just, I don't trust Budenholzer to. put a fork in them. I only got one Bucs thing to say. Can we not freak out? I don't want to hear you talk Bucks.
You know, I don't want to hear you talk. No, I do want to say one thing. Can we not freak out when we sit guys? Like, we can lose two games. They're at.
Just be as healthy as you can. Go ahead. How do I get the one seed? Yeah, they can lose two games and still get the one seed.
So rest, everyone. Like Drew's been off for how many days and he comes out and scores 50? Rest and health is important. These games don't matter. I'm out of here.
Should more bucks be financially taken advantage of so they come out and have 50-point games the next night? 414. How was the new number? Wasn't there a new number that you had for like three weeks? Yes, for three weeks.
It was 414-677. We got brand new phone lines. The new phone lines cost me a CBS sports shift because I was supposed to go on at five and they. Put them in at 4:58 one night, and I couldn't connect, and it made me look really bad on like my second day. I was very pissed off and I actually kind of still am.
Brett, opening day.
Well, you got one more box thing. Oh, sure. I was gonna say The team is almost so loaded. that no matter what lineup, Buddenholzer throws out there. That there's gonna be a good result.
So, like, he can still fuck it up. In our eyes? And the team is still going to be really, really good because like. I mean, unless he throws the NASA's out there for twenty minutes, like It's still an awesome team, no matter what he does. Are you and I just going white tea, bros tonight?
Uh I I I have a uh design on there. All right, I'm just playing white tea. I knew Deli. You just got my shoulders, that's it. Yeah.
All right, Matt. Yep, I got I got no brewer stuff until the season starts, but uh I'm going to try to contribute more brewer stuff this year.
So uh I got something on the brewers. Not until then. I got enough.
Well, I want to hear from Brett's Brett's. No, I want to hear Hattie takes Brewers.
Okay, I found out today that they have a guy named Winker on their team. You found on today? Yeah. Winker. Is not Winkler.
Don't do this to me. I know, but like, I just, there's a guy in baseball named Winker. Yeah. Isn't there also a winkler? I just used to pitch for the Cubs.
Used to the Brewers, to me, I just can't. That's an unserious franchise. If they make it, like, if they, for some reason, are a buzz, so I'll be a bandwagon guy with no shame. But like, there's just no way I can get into this team. Like, once the Bucks win the title, you ain't going to hear from me for a while.
Okay. I want you breaking down every Jordan Love training camp with me. Oh, I'll be way ahead of you on that. I know. I watched a video today of him throwing a pass to Aaron Jones.
Yeah, you want to talk about come and go. Hell yeah. Bart, it moved. I I agree. Wow.
Hey, who knew that quarterback could throw to people without jerseys on? I never thought it'd be possible. That's all I got. Roger never threw it in. He sucks.
Well, yeah, I mean it it it helps when you actually you know show up to things and 'Cause that's just like the hardest thing in the world for that guy. Don't stop. Tell me, you like, that's the most believable story ever that he would just like leave Matt LaFleur. At like, you know, probably at Perkins, LaFleur is ordering the big bar breakfast, and then Rodgers just doesn't show up. Yeah, Rogers.
I don't want, I can't, I can't. I retire. Don't do this to me. You are so going to be bad. I want to talk brewers with Brett.
Okay. I'm going to log off then. Thanks, guys. Jake? Talk to you Sunday night.
Jake's going to do WrestleMania with me. Matt, you in for that? I have watched a total of maybe 20 seconds of professional wrestling in my life.
So I'm out. All right. See you, bud. See you, Matt. Brett.
Let's go. Are you going live after the game tomorrow? Yeah, and I'm bringing Tim Shea in here too. Here's the deal: if the Brewers win, I will report live on the Bart Winkler show from Wrigley. You're going.
Yeah, we're leaving at 6.30. But if they lose, come on either way.
Well, I'll come on on the walk out if we lose, but I'm getting out of there as fast as I can without fucking songs playing. You don't want to hear that song. No, but if we win, I will be reporting live. From the first row of the second deck on the Bart Winkler Show. Doesn't have anyone reporting live at the game tomorrow.
I want to. Give, yeah. I want to give you. My thoughts on the Brewers. Uh my overall thoughts on the Brewers right now.
Okay. And and get your reaction.
Okay. I think that this team. They'll probably went around 82 to 87 games. That's where I'm putting them. Um they could win a little more.
I think it's more likely they win more. then they win less. Uh, the most surprising thing for me would be if they were under 500. I just don't think that. They've shown us time and time again that we can doubt them, and they'll still find ways to win.
Games, it's the same strategy as it's been for the last few years. Great pitching staff, council acknowledges that, and then you have three or four guys on offense if they do this, if they do this, okay.
So we understand then there is some improvement for that. I think that There is like Doctor Strange. I'm a Marvel guy, everyone knows this. Sees all these timelines, and there's one timeline where they could beat Thanos, okay? There is a timeline out there.
There might be a couple. where the Brewers win a World Series in the next two years. And I don't know if, I mean, I don't think we're on, I don't think we're on that earth. I've convinced myself they'll never win one. But Should they start well?
And it's going to depend on if these guys come up and hit. And then if they even like put a dent in anything. I don't want to see guys traded next year. I would rather I think the big thing is. Do you want to like when do you want to trade Corbin?
Right? When do you want to trade Willie? When do you want to when do you want to move on from these guys? If they're, if they suck in the first half, Get rid of them all. Just start from scratch.
Ain't gonna work. But if they're competing. And they have this next batch of guys coming up that can maybe deliver some offense, or maybe in like 2024, second half of the season, you see Churio and whatever. I don't need to get anything for Corbin Burns. I don't need like what do I want for Corbin Burns in terms of prospects?
You know what I want from Corbin Burns? I want two years of Corbin Burns. That's what I want. I don't need prospects.
So. My expectations on the Brewers. Or not World Series or bust. It's not NLCS or bus, but I'll tell you what. I'm more excited than I have been in a long time because my expectations are lower.
That's fair. I agree. Tell me why they're going to win 98 games. No, I agree with everything you said. I mean, I.
I was on the I wanted a trade hater, but. Obviously, that blew up, and I agree with you. If they're good, you can't trade Burns Woodruff or Willie, and you ride it out, and you will get something. You can give them a qualifying offer and get a draft pick.
So it's not like you let them go for free.
So I'm on board. I'm thinking 86 to 90 wins, and I Yeah. I'm going to bet on the Cardinals to win the division just because I think the Brews have too many question marks. offensively and in the bullpen. But the ceiling for the Brewers is higher than the Cardinals.
Because the Cardinals' rotation is awful and If Jelich, he's never going to be an MVP, but if he can be back to an all-star, I think that's reasonable. Um Winker. There's things, like you said, there's things that can happen in 2023 for the brewers to be. A playoff contender. I'm not picking it.
But I think they're going to be Right at the last wildcard spot, fighting with the Phillies, and luckily, the Phillies are already injured, so that helps us out. I'm really high on Contreras. I think he's going to regress a little bit. But I'm wearing my Contreras jersey to Wrigley. I've always been a huge Contreras family.
Fan. Oh, you got a brewer's one already? I bought it when I was drunk in Florida. Um but I hate Wilson Contreras more than anyone in the majors. And Huge William fan.
Nice. Test user gives us $2 tonight. Thank you, Test User. How many bites of the how many Apple bites is Burns worth though? Cry face emoji.
That $2 will go to the drink I'm buying Tim tomorrow at Kelly's bleachers.
Okay. Thanks, Bart.
So I'll come up with the first couple innings.
Okay. So you want to see what Schlesinger said? Dear Daddy's wants to hire me back? Yeah, right. That he wants, they want, they might extend beer past the seventh.
Hey, Bart, I haven't talked to you in a long time, but. We both have to admit, I agreed with you that everything. Marketing, all that stuff was absolute trash. But the last two months, besides a cheese tweet, The brewers are they're making some moves. They're less embarrassing to follow than previous.
Yeah. They're concentrating on digital content. That is worth your time. Rather than Just retweeting people that put a sign that say my first word. Cheese, please.
Oh, five bucks for Tim's drink. Tim, order a double. Hey, uh buy one, get one free beer on Friday night till seven thirty where at Miller Park or at American Family Field. Oh yeah, what's that? You get buy one, get one free till till seven thirty from Tucker.
I wonder if ticket sales are bad for the first week. Didn't Schlesinger say something on Drew and KB that ticket sales are up this year? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. More. You mentioned the show that's not this one.
Boom.
Okay. All right. See how pathetic that looks if I were to do it. This is where you dropped him. Oh, wait, no, that's there only there.
We got you still talk, right? Hey, well, Drew and KB, man, they got a stranglehold on Wisconsin Radio. They're on. They're on all over the place. Hold on, let me go to the Winkler Bart.
Twitter pain uh Twitter handle and tweet something for the first time in three years. All right, Bart, so you're going live after the game tomorrow? Yes. All right. I'll be on and hopefully it's in Wrigley after a win.
So go, Brewers. All right, Brett. Let's talk Brewers, buddy. All right. Same home will win tomorrow, Brad.
Do my best. All right, Timmy, how's the draft going? Be bad to last. We're moving. We're moving.
You know, it's a long draft, but we'll get through. It's terrible. I did two last week and it was awful. What what what are you using? Yahoo or what?
Yahoo. We had problems with CBS. I should say that they employ me, I guess.
Well, the website's different than the radio station. Are you like a house or a bar or what? At a bar. Oh wow. Great.
Yeah. Yeah. It's only two brewers so far, so. And you're wearing a brewer's shirt over a brewer's jacket. Yeah.
I'm ready. Ready for me. I'm ready too. I got my brewer's hat on. that I bought in spring training.
I love the brewers. And I got my white shirt on, which doubles as a white flag. Uh, because uh we should surrender the season, they're gonna be terrible. The one hot take I'll have this year, like last year I made that hater Take like very early May. Yeah, you said never trade eight or you weren't there.
I made the comment, and everyone went crazy on me. I'll look who was right. I don't think Devin Williams will be the closer. Tom August. Ah, he might not be a brewer.
He could be a brewer, but I think you know who you know who I think could be the closer? That's what we're talking about. Ride the bus, Gus? Yes. Yes.
Gus Varlin. Yes, I think he's the only one that has potential. Gus Varlin. Yeah. Fuck yeah.
Sorry that I ripped on your league last year. I don't really remember doing it. Oh, I do. I do remember. It's okay.
Right.
Can I do one prop comedy before we leave? Go ahead. One prop comedy. One prop comedy before we leave. You don't think I'm a Brewers fan?
You don't think I'm a brewers fan? No. Well, I mean, you are. Yeah, but you don't think I'm a big one. This is Tommy to my face.
All right, you are not a big brewers fan. Oh shit. I'm not. You don't have it, do you?
Well I feel like I'm at a happy place temp right now.
So I'm looking. That damn oh here we go I got it. I got it. I got it. All right.
Alright, what do you want? Uh Milwaukee's Zentino. April 20th. Oh, hold on. Let me get.
I should edit this out. I always say that. It's kind of a dumb bit. April 20th. 1987, deer plus flame equals 12.
Wow, pre-perfect suspect. By Tom Hodgercourt. There's no other way to describe it. Unbelievable. The Milwaukee Brewers stretched their season opening winning streak to twelve games Sunday afternoon.
But this time they stretched the imagination too far. Can you believe? I will be in this job for the next 35 years when I will then retire and unveil my deep political leanings on Twitter. Constantly Look at this. Look at the Easter bunny at the game.
Look at this is when fans were fans. This is the paper from April 20th, 1987, Monday after Easter. Is that the Milwaukee Journal or the Milwaukee Sentinel? It's the Sentinel. Here's a guy.
Who has a hat on that says, We are tops. Here's the Easter bunny. Here's... 40,000 people at County Stadium. I don't see them with cell phones.
I don't see them distracted by their fantasy baseball team. I don't see them distract. These are real fan. These are when fans were fans. And now what are we?
Bunch of whiny babies. Because we don't win the World Series every year. These people. These people sacrificed for us to have brewers today. And we don't do enough good a job.
Respecting This guy in the hat that says, We are tops.
Okay. Prop comedy. Oh, that was great. Thank you. Make sure you save that paper.
Well, yeah, I have a lot of Super Bowl papers in here. Look at the Milwaukee classifieds. I should do a pod just reading. Like ASMR classified. Yes.
He is one of the Full time work wanted. Childcare, Bayview, my home. People would call that number and just do it. This shit is fucked up. The classifieds are fucking weird.

So I got some voicemails. First one's from Patty. And we'll play this from Patty here. Everyone was pretty happy to see. Brian Goudekin's finally talk.
Not talk back to, but make his feelings known. Regarding everything that was going on with Aaron Rodgers. LaFleur never ended up saying anything, but Goudekins did, and Patty had some thoughts. Is that while I really was proud of Goody for kind of giving a bath to Rogers after these last few years of all these passive aggressive backhanded comments and interviews and drama on everything. But there was still a part of me when listening to that where I was like, Blood.
God. I mean, he still had to like really sugarcoat it and I felt like he kind of threw some Additional complement in there, and it was kind of buttered up a little bit. Five. Wins that. That was something that was overdue for him to just give it back to Rogers.
Um I'm proud of him for doing that. I do think that I think it was Hot Take Jake who said he may have shown his hand a little bit with that, but. I think overall, I still think the Packers have the leverage. I still think that. The Jets.
I agree with you guys that the Jets could have Use this Lamar or Jackson requesting a trade announcement to their advantage, and they chose not to. And that just goes to show you how just Not ready for prime time the jets. really are. Talent-wise, they might be you know, turning the corner and competing really well, but the way that organization is run They're just not there yet. Anyway, I kind of thought it was it was refreshing to hear Goody speak that way and um It'd be interesting to see if there's any more to come on that.
So uh our guy Florio was on our guy Pat McAfee's podcast. On Wednesday. Which okay Florio I think he's kind of a dork I wish he had a Mike Florio account and a Pro Football Talk Twitter account. Very. Niche complaint.
But pro football talk has become like I mean, you got to say it's respected. NBC gave him a bunch of money. They have college basketball talk and hardball talk and. you know, basketball, they like had a whole they branded everything after him. And yet he gets on there and whines because he's a Vikings fan and he's insecure.
He should have a mic where he's not going to get his mic. Like, who cares? Just retweet it from the Pro Football account. There should be a Pro Football account that is news and links to your website, and then a Mike Florio account. It really bothers me.
No one's called him out for that.
Someone needs to. That'll be my mission. Like Daredevil, I will be. Putting my mask on and going around. the hell's kitchen of twitter and making sure that Florio Separates church from state.
Apparently, though, he said the Packers want to back off the number one pick. Whatever. I just If you're the Jets. At what point do the judges say, forget it? We'll do our own thing.
Are they in Aaron Rodgers away from the Super Bowl? I don't know. Why don't you go get Lamar? Go get Lamar. Go get Go get Mike White back.
Just with everything that we've we've we've read so much about Rodgers, so much that we either want to believe more or don't want to believe. about what kind of teammate he's become and You know, I understand he's a nice guy, he says nice things, but. If he was as invested as he was in the MVP seasons, he'd be the MVP again. How do you win the MVP two years in a row? And then Be so pedestrian the next year.
One, your talent either really dropped off or you kind of stopped caring. Like He doesn't have to be best friends with Romeo Dubs. He doesn't have to go shopping at the Green Bay Hive with them. I just don't understand how he can show up to camp. I can't do this.
I retired from it. God, get him off my hate him. I can't do this. I retired. Here's Britt from Merrimack.
Who I think might hate Rogers more than I do. applause to Goody. He actually showed that he had some Kojune and And called out Aaron Rodgers and all that stuff during his interview. I didn't think he had it in him.
So As a Packers fan, that makes me happy because it makes me believe that you know they are actually Taking the team back from Aaron Rod. and in high demand and in Z. ishways and all that.
So I was actually I couldn't believe it. My mouth dropped. because of what he was saying. the fact that he actually said it, so Finally, we get that from Goody.
So a little bit from Britt there. Again, a lot of high praise. For Brian Gudekinst and everything that He said, this week. Jon and Franklin, one more voicemail, Jon and Franklin. Always comes with some good thoughts.
And now it's about what do the Jets do? What do the Packers do? From here, we'll jump into this one again. I'm hearing all this debate. And the bottom line is the Jets.
The field is about perspective. The Jets identified Aaron Rodgers as the one that's going to take them to the Super Bowl.
So I'm hearing people on our side going, yeah, he's washed up. We shouldn't expect much. From a second round or maybe a conditional one. Why the hell should we take the risk?
So the checks. It's not a chance to take it. Like we took a risk when we Drafted Jordan.
Well Right, and is it going to pay off or not? Time will tell, but that's a risk we took. No, I'm not down with this conditional stuff. We need to get a decent deal, and I'm not. stupid.
I don't think we're going to get three first round picks.
So now But through the currency. you know, the way he spoke, you kind of laughed. When it was brought up this year as Jets' first round pick, which I don't understand why that was laughed at. I think that should have been something we fought for and at the very least get their first rounder next year. and the control that comes with it.
It's not just the pick. If nothing else the package up and move up next year if we need to. Hopefully we don't need to. But the Packers need to hedge their bets. the odds that they're gonna roll the dice.
and hit seven three times in a row. Short of the ending of all these Hall of Fame careers is unlikely, and it's not Jordan Love's fault. Not to mention the pressure this guy's gonna be under. And it's not his it is totally not his fault. I wish him success, I do.
But I ultimately wish the Packers success. And that's part of the compensation package here. And take your sweet time. You know, don't forget. I I defended 12.
for years. And then, you know, reassessing that. Defending that idea. Yo, you think he could have put put those young receivers after they were drafted on a plane and flew them off the tally. you know, before he took his lion vacation.
You think you could have done that? You think that might have weighed a little bit on this? Past season, maybe one or two more wins, where would that have taken us? Another bite at the apple? What are we the brewers?
Hang out. it out I don't care when it offends because we know what We're doing the chats are the ones that got to straighten their path. I'm out, Jonathan Franklin. Thanks to Patty, thanks to John, thanks to Britt. And thanks to all you guys that leave voicemails.
It's always available. We'll play some, most all. Eventually, they do get played. 402-915-BART. Thanks again to our friends at.
Carl's place. Yeah, I guess one thing I don't want in a trade is like escalators for. How good Rogers does. Because then you have to root for Rogers. Rogers is gone, and I don't want to root for him.
I want him to be bad. But then I have to root for the Jets to be good so the Packers get a better pick. I don't want to do that. Just go away. Do what you do and we'll do what we do and It'll all be over.
I don't want to have to. If you want to root for Rogers because you're still a Rogers fan, I'm not going to stop you. I don't want to have to root for Rodgers for the benefit of the Packers. Does that make sense? I think it does.
Someone will be mad at me for it anyway. Two Live crew tomorrow. Is what we're going for. After opening day, I'll hop on. And then after Bucks Celtics, I'll hop on.
