You need Indeed. Good afternoon, evening, morning, whenever you're getting this. My name is Bart Winkler. This is the Bart Winkler Show. I am in a bad mood for this episode. Not because the Bucks won. The Bucks beat the Celtics.

That puts me in a really good mood, actually. The Bucks beating the Celtics in this kind of game, like I do Bucks post games during the week. On the weekends, I don't do them so much. Maybe a Sunday. I'll do the All-Star game for sure. But in the playoffs, no matter when they are, I'll do them. So we'll get that going.

That'll be fun. But I do them during the week. If I was like the best man at my brother's wedding on a Saturday night and this game happened, I'd be doing a postgame. And I'm in a bad mood because I had to watch the Celtics. And I hate this team. And I hate what a win would have done for the narratives. I hate all that.

But the Bucks won and I'm very happy about that. And what I also hate is, you know, I've been doing this podcast now for about five months or whatever. And I kind of feel like I have been pulling some punches back. I do. I kind of feel like I'm pulling some punches back.

And I'm not ready to do that anymore. Look, Milwaukee is a big market. It is number 40 or whatever in the country. You've got you've got great Bucks beat writers. You've got a name in Ozarsky.

You've got guys like Gabe Stoltz and these guys, you know, that do a good job when they cover them from the blogosphere. Frank Madden, a great mind, you know, living in Texas. You got Kane who like Kane does locked on Bucks. Kane Pittman.

He's half a world away. He's covering this team better than a bunch of these scrubs in Milwaukee. You've got the who else do you got? You got the TV guys, I suppose. They're good. You've got there's somebody else I want to mention in that realm guy.

I don't want to forget anybody. But in terms of radio or podcasting or whatever this is, I'll give you Ty and Rohan and those guys, the Euro step guys, also part of the blue wire network. I'll give you those guys. I'll give you Justin Garcia does a great job covering the Bucks with good karma brands. Grant bills my guy Grant does a fantastic job, not in the Milwaukee market, but statewide does a great job and you can stream him, of course. And Sparky Sparky can talk bucks like no other about he's relegated like me to podcast. Is there anybody I'm missing?

I don't know. This market can't talk bucks at all. And so what I want you to do is if you're listening and it's the morning or whatever, I'm going to take I'm just going to take a second. And the reason I'm going green screen just green screen tonight if you're on YouTube is because I don't care where I'm broadcasting from. I'll broadcast from my basement. I'll dig a hole under my basement and broadcast.

It doesn't mean it doesn't matter where I'm physically from what matters is that I'm running circles around these people. That's the reason they're scared because they can't talk bucks. If it's noon, I can't name one person by noon who can talk bucks. And so we're here to talk bucks. And let's talk about them.

So that's that's the kind of mood I'm in tonight. And the Bucks beat in the Celtics, man. I know they played their C team. I know it took them overtime to do it, but I hate Boston. I hate the Celtics team. They, they, they do me a funny way.

Okay. There was, there was one game that Celtics beat the bucks a couple of years ago and I said, screw it, $500 on the line. I'll bet anybody bucks will not lose a series to this team.

Bucks ended up winning that year for one. And then people owe me $500. I, of course, the nice guy that I am gave that to charity. I want to be very clear. No, haven't been, I haven't been drinking. I will explain in a second though. I want to be very clear. I am not an asshole. I am a Dick, but I am not an asshole. I have not been drinking. I am exhausted. I have one here that I might sip a little bit. Oh, Trey.

Yes. Trey, Trey Crosby, that show teas and cues. That's a great show. I didn't mean to forget about Trey. All you MF or Zach, like you forgot about Trey. I'm not on the gummies either. You know what I'm on? I'm on having one kid and like thinking that that's exhausting. And then tonight I babysat my kid.

Well, my kid I babysit, but then my niece and nephew as well of a similar age. So I'm on watching three kids for four hours and then watching this buck Celtics game and getting to the point where I'm going crazy. Like this is not a playoff game. And I would even contend this game kind of doesn't even matter. I mentioned grant, this game doesn't even matter.

It matters for the seating. So if we want home court, that's where it matters. But where it doesn't matter is this is not where this is not the kind of game you're going to see in a series between these two teams. So had they lost, I'd say this, but they want, I mean, the bucks are going to be playing a much better team than we team within this team we saw the night and they'll have pieces too. They'll port us back though.

Jay back Yanis. That was scary for a second, but this team, this game is not reflected over the series. We'll see if these two teams meet. So for that reason, I'll say, you know, don't get too worked up that they had to fight against their scrubs. I would have said the same thing had they lost whatever, but what we got to know tonight is the bucks one, it helps their playoff seating and their playoff, not just their seating, but the tiebreaker because these teams play three times.

So that's important. And also it's, it's not even that we won. It's that we didn't lose. It's that the Celtics didn't win because the narratives will go crazy. Oh, the Celtics could meet them with guys six through 10.

What are guys one through five going to do? And we don't want any of that. And Derek white's really good. And Malcolm Brogdon can put up a bunch of points off the bench and you know, Mike Muscala, when he's not throwing air balls like the Celtics have a part, they are good. This is a good team, but let's not give them too much credit. I think I was going to say if a buck scrub team plays the Celtics starters, we could see a similar game.

I don't know, but this game is not indicative of what the playoffs will be. That said, it feels real damn good to beat the Celtics. And I'm glad you're here with me. And by the way, tell your friend right now, because if you're listening to this in the morning, your friends probably like trying to figure out, I want to hear Buck's talk. We got it. We got it for you. Hot take. Jake is joining us.

I take Jake, my guy. It's okay to be a Dick, Bart. It's a good thing to be a Dick. You know, I, I, uh, getting rejected by batteries.

Plus is really a new trajectory for me in my life. I just think that, um, this is a good spot to talk bucks and I'm tired of like running from it. It's I, and is this a good, just, I really want to make this clear. And if, if anybody gets this message to anybody else that's doing Milwaukee radio, this is the message I want to get clear. You're in a position where people come to you out of habit or their car or whatever, stop taking your listeners for granted. Stop taking them for granted because more and more, they will find new avenues.

And this is one of them. So if you don't want to be afraid of me, then be better than me. That's all I am. I'm really on a heater tonight.

I, I watched three kids. I don't, I don't even know what's going to come out of this mouth. I'll be honest with you. I can't remember the last time I turned on sports radio in my car after the fan went down.

So that, I mean, yeah, it's, it's usually you speaking of the fan going down. I do want to, I do want to, uh, you see my ass. I hope not. I got a package in the mail today that I did not expect. Ooh, unboxing video. Let's see it. It's from Odyssey.

Ooh, look at that. It says, cause now I'm back in CBS sports radio. Yes, you are nationally Saturday, 11 to four. It says we are so excited. You are a part of the Odyssey team. Please show us your gear on social follow and tag us and use the hashtag life at Odyssey. They sent me this backpack. Ooh, you look like a tourist now. They sent me this backpack. Yeah, man.

What a prize. I wanted to tell you, it's not a bad thing to be a Dick. I remember, uh, one time I was talking to a buddy and I just kind of in passing and said, yeah, I'm kind of a Dick. And then his wife interjects and goes, yeah, you are kind of a Dick, but like, just the right amount of Dick. So like, that's what I want to title my autobiography.

If I ever write it is just the right amount of Dick. Uh, by the way, speaking of that, there's a lot of people here for Valentine's day. Is that, are we not having lucky Valentine's nights? I mean, clearly I'm not, I'm wearing a backpack in my basement. If you're here for Valentine's day, you are either single or married. Yeah.

That's a good point. And unhappy. No, just kidding. Um, but no, I am big with the wives.

We all know this. Yeah. That's why I logged in tonight.

I wanted to get to get the wives going. I played your voicemail yesterday, right? Yeah, I did. I did. Oh yeah. Yeah. Um, but it was an honor to actually hear that, that somebody's wife hates me because I'm voicemails, by the way, you can chime in on those Carl's place, brings you those four Oh two nine one five B a R T I have a question. One five Bart J says he's married. I have a question about Carl's place. They don't by chance sell golf simulators. Do they? Cause uh, if I needed to get one is that that's amazing.

Um, Carl of et.com backslash bars. Hell yeah. Um, no, I, as far as the game tonight, it's hard to say I feel good. I didn't really feel anything watching that game. Like once I saw the injury report, I knew it was going to be a stupidly close game that was going to be annoying.

Um, it was closer than it should have been. I thought they were done once they were down five in overtime, but like, I'm not happy or upset with that game. It's just, it was a dumb game with, you know, weird circumstances. And when the bucks play them in March, they'll probably do the same thing. Cause it's like not showing your offense, you know, during a preseason game for football or you don't want to show them anything that they could use to against you in the future. But I will say it's gotta be tough for the players when you lose in seven to a team like that, then you play a C squad.

And I don't know, I feel like Boston might have some sort of psychological advantage over Milwaukee right now. I guess I did show my ass before. Didn't I? Oh, I'm rewinding this. That's going to be all over the internet, buddy. Once it's on the internet, it don't go away.

Please don't do anything with it. That happened to LeBron last week. Do you remember that? Yeah. Well, all these, come on. I just, I guess got a picture of my ass. It's all right. Embrace it.

Um, if they didn't send me the sweetest backpack, you would have never seen my crack. I know that there you go. Trying to show off backfired lesson learned.

Yeah. Um, did you happen to catch our boys appearance on Pat McAfee today? You know, I didn't, uh, and like a lot of the tweets that sit there and try to aggregate for him, my sports update and dive climate and match Neidman, they all have me blocked. Why, why are you blocked by all these guys, man?

Cause I tell them they suck, man. It takes a lot to block somebody. That's, that's kind of plain. I blocked a lot of people.

I blocked two people today. Oh, well, there you go. But no, um, I, I just pictured you on like the teacups at Disney world with a miserable look on your face.

Just can I please get off this ride? Yeah, I can't. I can't.

It's everything you thought it would be. Well, that's the thing. That's the thing about, that's what I wanted to say. Um, like tomorrow or Wednesday, whatever morning. Yeah. Wednesday. This is my Wednesday show because Rogers hasn't gone on his darkness retreat yet.

Now they can recycle more darkness content. Yeah. They were asking him about pooping and like nobody wants to talk about, about the bucks. My guys Abe's talking last night that Giannis and Pat are sitting out this one. They don't care. Nobody cares. Just like Aaron sat down live at Pfizer and they're all going to be like fighting each other for either spots and uncle bucks or press credentials.

And then they just do it to be shown. Look, they don't care. They don't care. They don't care about the bucks.

I'm in my basement clapping my face off when they give them the, uh, clear take foul. Like you, you were really that into this game. Uh, I wasn't cause it was bizarre.

I wasn't until I, I just, I can't, I can't stomach losing to Boston. And then the, the things that would get, sorry, I saw a, uh, uh, a common here guarantee that Matt in the fall screenshotted Bart's ass so he can kiss him more than he does on his podcast. Wow.

No, no, no, no, no. That's my guy. I'm team Matt for sure. Yeah. I'm team Matt.

I'm team Jake. Especially when he shows up on your show, zooted out of his mind, eating ice cream cones. Yeah. That was a moment. I loved your comment.

Like how he just like was coming in and out of realizing he was on the show. That's what we cultivate here. Yeah. Uh, but no, for me, it was, it was a bizarre feeling watching this game, feeling nothing like maybe we are spoiled now because the bucks are that good to where we used to live and die with regular.

Well, like you could try to feel nothing. And I know a lot of regular games are like that, but it's Boston. I need this win. And I just, I could not handle, you know, I even saw some bucks fans like, and this is why this game is, you know, it is what it is, but I saw some bucks fans start to doubt like, okay, well, if we're struggling against this Boston team, then how are we going to play against, you know, the, the real Boston team.

And I just, I don't think that, that, that, again, this game is not indicative of the kind of series we're going to see. I just don't want Boston to get any, like they, they are exactly the 49ers. Everyone hypes them up.

Everyone celebrates all their regular season successes all the time. And then what do they do? Nothing. They might get to the title game. They don't do anything there. They are, they are paper champions. They are frauds.

And I just, I'm tired of it coming at the buck's expense. How mad are you going to be when Tatum wins the MVP? Dude, I tried to watch that game on Sunday and Doris Burke is not like Doris Burke is a problem with the Celtics. You cannot, Hubie Brown's the other one. Those two in the Celtics, like. It's really the four letter network in general.

Like they love them some Boston. All right. I'm gonna read some comments.

Jake, good to see you. All right. Just real quick. Um, I am starting my OnlyFans for the Bart Winkler show fan club wives section. So just look for me there. Well, I don't need to, I don't need to start an OnlyFans if I'm just showing.

Give it for free, man. Yeah. Jesus. All right. Love you, brother. All right. See ya. Love ya.

Brick. Hello. I promise I've been here.

I've been listening every day, downloading every day. Just been busy with two kids now instead of just the one. Hey, were you joking when you told me that about Batteries Plus? No, I was not. You applied to the same job?

Yeah, like the, what was it, like the media specialist or something like that. Yeah, 100%. And you got denied too?

Yeah, like it wasn't, I think it was late last week, not earlier. So I beat you out? Yeah, you lasted longer than I did. Take that Batteries Plus. Or W is just below my last name.

B, which starts with a B. Oh, so they just like fired them off every couple of weeks? Probably. I don't think I properly conveyed my passion for batteries. I mean, nevermind.

I have some really inappropriate jokes that I want to say over the public worldwide web. Well, what's up, my dude? I was just wondering if you had any idea that the Boston, sorry, the lost in Celtics, players out today. I mean, they didn't say it a single time during the entire broadcast.

If they what? If they had any of their starter players out tonight. No, but that's what, that speaks to how great the Celtics team is with George Hill's twin as their coach. This team, they've got the fire.

They've got the tenacity. I mean, this is actually why like Tatum should be MVP because I don't think they play that well without Tatum's motivation. People are asking if Melvin Gordon deserved a Super Bowl ring. Hell, I think Jason Tatum deserves one.

I think it's the other way. Jason Tatum is not the MVP because obviously they don't even need them to compete. Marcus smart.

They should just get, they just cut all those guys and send them into the bio market because they don't even need them. Cause you know, it's a plug and play team, as they said, 37,000 times. Yeah. It's plug and play, you know, I mean, Malcolm Brogdon, probably an all star Derek white, you know, I don't want to speak. I don't want to speak out of school, but Derek white is like, man, I closed, I closed my eyes for two seconds.

I reopened them. I'm like, sure. Is that magic Johnson out there? How, how is, how does he have that large of a forehead?

Like his forehead goes to like the middle of his head. It was like the back here. I'm white. I don't, I don't, I don't understand. Like it's, it's worse than yours, Bart. And that's saying something.

I see. But no, I just, I, I mean, other than having a heart attack when Giannis hurt his knee, I didn't see most of the first half, but that's a fun win. That's a, that's a fun win, a good game to have. And I mean, Drew's a dog and Chris Middleton only playing exactly 25 minutes, no matter what is stupid. And also not falling at the end of games, but then going to be said 38 times is I don't think the right call there, but yeah. Hey, Bart Lundy and the Panthers didn't do that. And Bart Lundy came and apologized on Twitter for not following up three. Yeah. I mean, I don't see if Bud does the same thing.

No, he'll just say, execute better, be better, do better, better, better, better, better. But that's all I had. And I just wanted to chime in and say hello. And no, good to see you. You're looking good. Brick wall behind you.

Looks good. It was either this or your base, your old basement. So, oh, so you get to pick based on my old banners. Oh, I don't know.

They're just, those are just, it was options. It was this one, one, or just like to blur the background. And I saw it was brick. So I figured I had to, well, you look good brick. Thanks, buddy. Thank you. Have a good one. Take care. Have a good night. All right. I'll see you. That's brick. Dirty stylist. Let me rip through some of the comments again.

These are coming in live on YouTube. Batteries plus doesn't know who they're missing. Yeah, I think they, I think they might, uh, let's see. Jacob says the Celtics ruined the game of basketball. It's just, it's just a lot of undeserving love and attention and credit win something, win something, anything, anything, win something. They don't win anything. And like they beat us last year.

Okay. Middleton was hurt. That wasn't good. But then I, I, Grant Williams was great. Al Horford was great. And then what did they do? They sucked in the finals and it seems like everybody roots for them. Like, okay.

Northwestern basketball or football in Syracuse. Like I get it. Everyone in the media went to these places.

Okay. They're going to get, they're going to get their coverage. Why is it that's a, that's the thing I don't get. Why, why Boston? Why is everyone so infatuated with Boston? Cause there are a lot of media people that really overdo it. Why?

It doesn't make any sense to me. Marky Mark says, is it safe to say Drew is our number two now over Middleton? What a game. Well, Drew's in the all star game. A lot of that's cause of Middleton's injury.

Of course. I don't know that they would've got three all stars though. I mean, it's not like we're the Celtics, but Middleton capped at 25 minutes again. So it doesn't play overtime.

Stupid. Drew is great. I know Drew had a five turnovers.

Giannis at eight. There was a while there where they were both turning it over quite a bit. It wasn't good, but Drew is great. That still at the end, huge 40 points for Drew tonight, eight of 12 from three. And of course those three big steals Giannis with 34, 11 from 19 from the line started cold as the broadcast told you got better as the game went on.

That was huge. Nearly a triple double 34, 13 and nine Brook Lopez kind of a quiet game for him, but Grayson was all right. Carter had some big shots, but then got eaten alive on the other end.

Uh, Joe Ingles, you know, a bunch of guys contributed as they could, but the big story of course, uh, the big three did well. Middleton only getting capped at 25. Giannis playing nearly twice. Yeah, I just played nearly twice as much as Middleton played 46 minutes. A holiday played 43 Middleton.

I mean, I don't know what their plan was to, to bring him in, but I'd like to see more Middleton. Uh, I got a dark screen on Mark. Mark, are you there? You want to talk? Nope. All right.

Thought I'd try. Uh, what else do you guys got? A win is a win half game back.

That's from Alex. Brian says bucks win in spite of Ingles, slow defense and crash trash Middleton. Nah, we ain't doing that tonight. We ain't doing that.

Q says, thank goodness. Drew decided to go full all star mode tonight. Lopez and Giannis free throws were tough to overcome.

Giannis making them at the end was big, but again, it was the clear path fall. And again, I'm just looking at myself on the picture. I look, I look cooked. Don't I, my eyes, I'm telling you like the difference between having one kid and zero kids is an enormous change. It's an enormous change, but being around three kids and one kid, I don't, I don't know how people do it. It's just constant chaos. And then we pick up the whole house.

Five minutes later, the two kids sharing perfectly. Then they're not, we have like paint. We have like an easel that he can draw on and stuff. And there's paint. He can use.

We never use it. And they're all clothes like her medically sealed. Somehow that got open couches ruined. I mean, it's just, it's crazy. Oh, the badges are in action. I guess Joe Juan was getting teed up playing Michigan. How are they doing? All right.

They're up four with five minutes to go. I'm not too concerned. Jerry, I got this Odyssey backpack on. He says, think of how easy it will be to take swag out of the 1250 studios with that slick backpack as cover. I gotta be honest, Jerry, everything I've wanted in that building I've already stolen. And then some.

What are some of the more recent comments? Let mids get all the rest he can before the playoffs. He's too fragile to risk it. Midwest ballers. Now I want him playing more. I want to play, but then again, I also want like, I want to, I got to, I got to really hammer down how much I want these guys to play. Cause I want Middleton to play a bunch, but I want Mamu to be out there. I want, I want Beauchamp to play.

I want some of these guys to play. Coffee for far says Joe Ingalls, matador defense. Yeah. Uh, Jeff says, Bart looks like he's about to get his ass kicked with a skateboard in the movie. Kids. Joe says that shot by Judah and the third was a game changer.

Ryan says his Bart between fifth and sixth period. Are we in the comments? All right. I'll take my backpack off.

How do you do fellow kids? The shot by drew was big. Cause I think the Celtics just made one right before that. Did they not at the end of the third and then drew hit it from beyond the logo. And that was great.

And that did, you know, I liked that there was like five different times after drew made a shot, including one, I thought he got fouled on late after that steel where you're just like, I don't know what are you going to do? I'm me. Can't stop me. I'm just being me.

You're trying to play against me. That's the kind of vibe I got. And there was one where AJ green looked like he was crying tears of joy.

I think it was the, the drew three. He was like, I did, I did a Google face image that it was AJ green. I forgot about AJ green. Andrew says Bart kind of looks like he might be the guy who carjacked Tim too soon. Yeah, no, but I also do not.

I do not. There was one other good tweet or text that I want to hear Andrew. He says it was nice to watch a buck Celtics game without all the flopping was smart and Brown out. That was another thing too.

Yeah. You got to watch some decent basketball, I suppose. I mean, it was a good game. Again, national televised game. It's against the Celtics. The main thing in this game is if there is, and I don't know how hard these teams fight for home court. I think they want it, but they also don't like so many teams are resting. LeBron sets the record. I mean, they're resting. They're not even in the playoffs is LeBron selling merch of like the number of points that he currently has. Is that why he's sitting on that number for three games?

Why is he not playing play? They need you. You improve your team.

You have a playoff run possible. What are you doing? So that's weird. I also think that I completely forgot what I was talking about. Completely forgot. I was talking about, Oh, I was talking about Elon Musk being all over my Twitter because of the algorithm. I was talking about that. What was I talking about?

I was talking about, I was talking about, I was talking about something. Sam Howser had a big three point shot. Bucks don't fall in that situation.

Okay. I mean, if you're going to make that kind of shot, you're going to make that kind of shot. I think we're all at the point where you follow the three point shooter, right? I mean, Bart Lundy apologized that he didn't the other night. They of course lost. Bud's team goes on to win. Oh, with the Celtics. It's important to get that home court advantage. If it, if it comes into play, I don't know how hard these teams try for it until there's like a week left and like, Oh, okay. We can.

But then even then, I don't know. Remember last year it was like, Oh, who's ducking the nets. So that was kind of weird, but I just, I don't want, I don't want bucks fans. I guess I don't want bucks fans. I talk about Celtics fans a lot, but I don't want bucks fans to think that they're less than like, this was a mediocre B squad Celtics team. And I thought the tweet from Ty Windish, who I mentioned earlier was great.

He said, bucks are trying to skip class and get a C on the final tonight. And I hate it. And I think that's a good way to, to put it. Spark guy, get in here. Let me rest my voice for a second. Well, I was not going to talk out of turn. I heard you say you forgot what you're talking about.

So that's why I thought I could jump. I did not watch the game. I missed it. I was, I was helping with the kids basketball, but it sounds like, uh, I don't know. Did we learn anything or is it just, you have to win? Cause nobody's playing. I don't know. I, my conceptions are still the same perceptions about, um, both teams.

I don't know. I think people underestimate what it meant to not have Middleton last year. They still took them seven games. People forget too about that game five in Boston. That was such an Epic win.

If they would have won the series. So I'm not too concerned. Are people concerned? I haven't heard the first part of this with people worked up that it went to overtime or what's the deal. Oh, well, the first part of this show, I spent 10 minutes talking about how nobody knows how to cover the box in this town. So that was, yeah, that was typical me.

No, I like, I don't like the game. It was good because, okay, if there's a tiebreaker, you know, now they've only played three times. So I think it's March 30th was the other game.

Uh, see when that is, but March 30th is a, yeah, Thursday night. Totally be live for that one, obviously. So that'll be like, you want game seven at home, you know, all that kind of stuff. That aside, first of all, it was a competitive game and they wanted a fun way. So we're going to celebrate that regular season or playoffs or not.

And then it's just the thing with it. If the Celtics would have won with that team, I think there would have been an overreaction to how deep and good the Celtics are. And there still might be, but also there would have been an overreaction to, Oh, if the bucks can't beat this team, how are they going to beat the real Celtics when none of that conversation should matter because when they get to the playoffs, it will be may late may, and it will not be that Celtics team. And the bucks will have different guys.

They'll have guys healthy and Jay and Bobby. And so what we saw tonight, you shouldn't even care about it. You shouldn't even look at it when you get to the playoffs. I think, I think more, more than anything, I'm just, I'm just, they, they want a fun game and I'm happy about it. Yeah. I was, I was more shocked not to pivot too hard on you, but I was more shocked when you said the badgers were up by four with five minutes left and you felt good about it. You think they're going to hold on. It does not look good here.

They're only up to a couple. Oh, if I said it felt good about it, that might've just been a stalling tactic. I don't feel anything about it for, I do not care. Are you so far into that gummy or whatever you took that you're not feeling a lot or did you not take it yet? Your sleepy one.

I did not take the gummy yet. I'll take it. I'll take it. It depends on my draft Kings are going tonight and when I'm going to take it, do I need to stay up and watch?

Should I go to bed? Hey, podcast network. Hey, go bucks. Yeah. You guys out. You're like one of the few people around here that can talk about this team.

I think they're fine. I, it sounds like I didn't, again, I didn't see the gameplay. I was having to follow it on my phone, but it sounds like Grayson was in critical minutes and he made some plays too. Right. I mean, he hit some shots. He made some stuff. He's still on this team.

We all wanted him out of here. Yeah. So I don't know. Feels, feels like something to be pretty good.

The one thing I did want to jump on and ask you though, is do you think this is it for guard? I don't know if you've touched on it as much lately, but do you think he's done? Do you think he's gonna get run out of town or do you think he's sticking around? Like if they missed the tournament? Yeah. I don't think they'll do anything with him. Not this year.

I don't know. Like what kind of urgency Chris McIntosh is going to feel. I feel like he will.

And I don't necessarily think that even if I agree with it, but I feel like he might be on the outside. Where's Tim Shay, by the way, he's the one to ask, right? He's the big badger guy. He's the one to link. He said, I'm out drinking. I don't think I can join tonight unless you really need me. Really?

But it's always good. He has that. He's out drinking with Maguire. So you can just, the Maguire can talk in the background. It's, it's like, it's like Belling in that Paul guy, right?

Like Maguire you here in the background, right? I've never listened to Belling a day in my life, but You are just, you are just, what should we call it? Oh gosh. The guy you always impersonate now the mind is I'm slipping my mind. How can I forget? I just, uh, I like certain radio.

I really liked the, uh, the 12 to three window on WTMJ. That's all. I don't have much else.

I just wanted to ask you about Badger thing, but it doesn't feel right. Bex will be fine. I'm still just real confident on the box. They look so good lately. They're going to be healthy. I feel really good about them. And they get, Oh, the other thing I was gonna say is it's always fun though. I go to a lot of bucks games. I watch a decent amount of them, but then there's the night like tonight where you just are looking at your phone and following it when you can people really upset with bud too.

So I always love that to not really have the context of exactly what they're seeing. Apparently he didn't fall, but then there's a couple other things that he did that were really dumb, but it seems like the anti, the anti bud train is really picking up. Is that fair? Like people are really getting upset again.

Well I think people have been, I mean we won in spite of him. Okay. Yeah. Nobody, nobody thinks about is good. Yeah.

It's a consensus. So then I get to like craft something up to be on the side. Cause that's, I mean, that's kind of all I do. Right?

Like, so. All right, buddy. Take your buddy. See ya. Smart guy. Good stuff. As I'm broadcasting, when you guys come into like the waiting area, I can see a little tiny version of you and I see Tony in Texas there and it looked like you were talking to someone, but then I realized that you just have a mirror next to you.

Yeah. I was like, Oh, Tony's got a Valentine's day date. Date number two. No, no. Hey, no.

What happened? Oh, date number two is Friday. No Valentine's day.

No Valentine's day. Like spark guy had a little basketball practice. Now just watch the fourth quarter of the bucks, which that's fine. That's good. Hey, if you can coach an NFL team to nine wins, I can coach the bucks to 55 wins and a second round appearance. Well, you're busting your kid.

You're not even letting your kids go out on Valentine's day. Oh no, we're all, we're all business. It's all business part. This, this basketball I'm all invested in. So you watch the fourth quarter though. I watched the fourth quarter. I was watching a little bit. They had the game on at the gym.

I saw bits and pieces of the game and I got, you know, first of all, I'm going to start the good. I love drew holiday. Drew holiday has been a godsend. All the draft picks they gave up for him has worked out. You know, yes, he gets a little careless with the balls sometimes, but drew holiday better than advertised. He's a better player than what I thought he was three years ago.

All right. Giannis great player. Low IQ. This is the lowest IQ veteran team in the league.

Bart. Yeah. Low IQ, man. Some of these stupid plays that they make. And then the offensive fouls that doing this stuff, like he's like a rookie still doing it to Dunleavy.

I'm like, what are you doing, man? The plays that Giannis makes that are, I just don't get some of the things that he does. I don't know if it's because he didn't grow up with basketball or what, and you can disagree all you want, but I'm talking about Giannis, man. He just does stupid stuff.

That's stupid. I just told you on offensive foul, like it was, I think a two point game. He goes and just drills a guy at his shoulder. Like what are you doing?

What are you doing? I'm talking about the bucks and they're not going to beat the Celtics. If they play like this, this is why you got to take this seriously, man.

The bucks are not better than the boss. Are you taking a gummy or something? Why are you overheating? No, I'm I'm like, are you, am I making your ears melt or something? I'm just like, what are you doing?

Like, what are you doing? The bucks have got some issues. If they're going to be thick, they got, they got to play better against Boston.

You're playing against Boston C team and you almost lost. Uh, Matt says, who let pop by the sailor in here? Q says, you guys are funny. Yeah. Where's your little olive oil tonight? Yeah. Hey, I I'm with you on that Boston media train.

Everybody's alone. Using olive oil tonight is the problem. Ooh. Uh, I've heard gun oil before not, you know, anyway, um, sorry. Uh, I cannot stand that Boston media either.

And I used to be a, listen to this, listen to this. I just saw this ESPN NBA on ESPN tweet. The Celtics second string took the bucks to OT and nearly won. Yeah.

And then stats of white Brogdon and Muscala. Oh, good job. Put that new category wins losses and nearly wins. So the bucks, we thought they were half game back. They're actually, uh, three quarters of a game back because the Celtics have one more nearly one than us.

Yeah. And I, you know, I know I came in a little hot and bothered about the bucks, but I will say this state. They probably didn't give their best effort in the beginning. And then all of a sudden you're like, damn, we got a game here. We got ties tweet was great. He said, the bucks are trying to skip class and get a C on the final. I thought that was great. Yeah.

I mean, that's our dream, right? Yeah. Hey, so tell me about that job.

You didn't get all batteries plus what happened there. It was a social media, uh, specialist job. And I applied with my resume. I gotta be honest with you guys.

I've probably sent out 300 resumes and there's been like three of the jobs that I would be like, okay, I would want that. Right. I do have, I do have an iron in the fire, so to speak. Okay.

Channel 12. No, I just do that to be with Dario. Mm. Uh, Q says Popeye is right. Uh, I'll give you a hamburger today for, I don't know how it goes.

Buck shot selection and crunch time is questionable during the regular season. Yeah. And Q thank you. And also why was, and Mike, I got to thank Mike the painter on this tweet. Mike, the painter tweeted out. Why is Drew holiday taking a ball out with three seconds when he's the one that's been on fire. It made no sense.

That's best coach bud right there. I don't get it. And then not to fall. And you mentioned this before, not to follow a simple math. Even Jason kid would have known this foul. Don't let them get the shot off. I don't get that philosophy. I will say this.

He did this now and he changes his philosophy for the playoffs. Okay. It was worth it. But I mean, how was there? That was a crazy shot, but these are NBA players that they can make crazy shots here. Name just posted this. Uh, well one Gabe Stoltz, who I mentioned earlier says, but it says Yanis bang knees that the S the report is positive about his knee.

All right. So here's bud on, if you wanted Christophile Houser, we do different things, end of game, the catch and shoot coming out of that is probably what I'll do it as, but we do different things. End of game, the catch and shoot coming out of that is probably what they're looking for and defend everything. Well defended the screens. He gets it at half court.

It's a 30 foot or whatever. There's different things that we'll do credit the house or making the shot. Chris did exactly what we asked him to do.

Just fortunate to find a way to win it in overtime. So basically he didn't answer the question. No. And if that was the plan then shame on bud, which it sounds like it was. And I thought Chris Middleton played good defense, but let's, let's, let's do the simple math here.

If he makes both free throws, you're going to get the rebound and get followed again. Yeah, I know. I thought bud played well or, but I'm, but I don't care. I thought, what are you drinking? Crown and Coke. Me? Yeah.

Crown and captain. Hey, I got to, I got to talk about the, I made a tall boy. I probably had this much of it.

Oh, we'll be talking even down to the draft Kings. Do you know why I have this? You, you probably want something. No, I spent so much money with them. One day there was a draft Kings Yeti and a, uh, like nice jacket on my doorstep. They just sent me shit. It's good.

It's good to get a package when you come home. Uh, Hey, I got to mention this about the brewers real quick. They're taking this shit to a new level, man, not to pay Corbin burns. I mean, and then they're getting, I don't mind the government helping out the brewers fine to help our public schools, but you know, uh, to, to, to, to, to not take carbon burns.

I mean, that is just a bad precedent to set. Well, I think some, apparently sometimes the player says, or no, the team says first. And so burns might've said his number second.

Okay. So burns might be job. And Joe immediately says no brewers. Aaron says, brewers are a joke. They're right. But I, it pissed me off. I mean, all right.

I do want to say about the brewers. There's that story that, you know, they might get some money from the state. Right. I'll talk about that tomorrow. I, I don't know.

Yeah. I don't even know what I'm going to say on it. It's just, you get a story like this. It intersects sports with politics, with, it's just weird. It's a, it's a, it's there's no, no matter what 90% of the people are going to be unhappy about it. It's not even like, Oh, alien half your audience.

It's not even that kind of thing. It's the decision. Whatever happens will piss off 90% of people. Well, it won't, we're all sports fans of brewers fans that listen to you. So I don't care who we want the brewers to stay. So we'll like it. Yeah. We all want the brewers to stay. So I don't care who the governor is, whatever. We don't want them to move.

So admirals talk over brewers. Wow. Oh, wow. All right. Oh, I'll save that for tomorrow's show then.

And by the way, infrastructure week continues on Thursday's show. Bill Michaels. No.

This is a deep ass cut. Oh, Pharrell. No, but in that era, ah, Seth Everett.

Oh, Seth Everett. Prince and Marvel books are Marvel movies. I think we talked to Marvel. I already talked to him. It's in the can, but I told him, I told him infrastructure week.

All right. And I told him, uh, I should just say this, but I told him, cause it was a one-sided feud. Like he didn't know that I would always shit on him before Bill's show.

How could he? And I said, Seth, I always did an impression of you before you would go on Bill's show to tease the show. You'd be like, Oh, what'd you say? I go, okay, I'm going to say this, but please don't leave. I want you to stay at and talk to me. I'd go. Yeah.

You know, I was talking to Ken Griffey Jr. We talked about how much baseball sucked and Prince agreed. So this is a deep ass cut. Good cut. It's good that the effort on the show on Thursday. I like it.

I like it. That's a good one part. And at lastly part, I will say the love life is picking up.

I might've met to miss Tony in Texas. We'll see on one date. I could tell right away. I was in love in five minutes.

Did she reciprocate? Yeah. Yeah.

It was good. Yeah. Jesus. Yeah. I'm not, you know, she's a classy woman, so we'll see date number two, Friday night. I'll give you an update next week.

Yeah. Leave me a voicemail on that. So I have it for Monday. Oh no. A Sunday night will be live.

We'll be live Sunday after the all-star. I'll say this, this dating, this online dating bullshit. You'd be glad you're married. Cause I met this one through a friend. I am glad.

Yeah. Your wife is a Saint, but anyway I went out with a girl twice. I swear she used me for sushi and drinks both times. That was it. Did you guys pork? No, she just wanted to eat and drink and be done with it. No, no, no.

Anything. Well, you should look at that as you're getting to experience more conversation and it's helping you grow as a person. Right, right, right. No Packer talk, no Rogers talk.

And it's another girl for you to think about during, when you're with your wife. There you go. You got to have that bank alive, right Bart? I want to know who's in your bank.

I'm just kidding. Who's in your bank? Who's in my bank? Is it the, the girl from, you know, what kind of bank I'm talking about? Yeah.

My bank invested in crypto. We got nothing in there, bud. All right. Hey, bucks get the win. We'll take it.

And then, you know, we'll have Rogers talk next week. That should be finalized. I'd rather die. Okay.

Well, please don't die. And we'll talk to you soon. See you, Tony. All right, buddy.

Yeah. You know what I, if I'm going to try to live my life, it's gotta be to finish at least this package of Omaha stakes that I, I was talking to Seth Everett and he's like one, one thing with the podcast is when you do reads, you got to make sure that it sounds natural and it doesn't, you don't have to make it sound like a radio read. You don't have to. And then I just go into straight radio read this Valentine's day. I'll do it.

I'll do it. Like I'm like, I'm just ad-libbing man. You know, this Valentine's day, I got to tell you, Tony's talking about loved ones and stuff. And I think what Tony needs to do is maybe, maybe, maybe Tony shouldn't maybe Tony shouldn't go out to dinner. Maybe he should just fall in love with flavor. Maybe that's the flavor he's looking for. The flavor of the delectable dishes and tantalizing taste from Omaha steaks with their love at first bite sale.

They make tender loins big enough that Jack could have jumped on one and not drowned dance. No, we're done. See a doctor. I did two weeks ago.

Cause I thought I was dying. Some of my numbers are up surprise cholesterol up the LDLs, the HDLs. They're all up, but they're still really good.

They're up a little bit, but they're still really good. I can't believe it. I can't believe it.

I made him give me every test. My arm was like, still hurts the badgers one. So where does that put them?

I do they need attorney run or what's going on? Just checking Twitter. See what's up. All right. I kind of hit a wall. I'm running out of steam.

What else did I want to mention? I'm going to save anything. Rogers.

I do want to talk a little Rogers for the next show because everybody seems to be on the trade Rogers bandwagon and it's well the Packers kind of want Aaron Rogers to make that decision for them, which I get what they're doing, but they just did. They just need to do it. They just need to sack up and do it. Just get rid of them.

Just do it. So talk about that. The Brewers thing got a lot of people riled up. Anything Brewers does gets people riled up.

They are very toxic right now. And yet Dakota's got them. Dakota's got them at 87 wins to win the division. So we'll see how that goes. And then said Everett said that Everett will join us on Thursday. So good stuff. Had fun tonight. Very excited about the win. Got a little full of myself in the beginning, but I really it's not even that it's a low bar.

It's a low bar. Not a lot of people can talk bucks. I would I you know what I would really love to do. I would love to take every person that is on Milwaukee radio full time and put a thousand dollars on the line and say, if you can name 10 guys on the roster, I'll give you a thousand bucks. Which Milwaukee radio guys do you think could do it? Which guys do you think could name 10 10 guys? They'd go Yanis, Chris Drew, Jay Crowder. Cause he just got here. Probably Grayson, Pat, Brooke, Bobby.

That's eight anymore. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I'd be curious to know how will they know? Michael read Todd day, Eric Murdoch, her son.

Wasn't he a book like six times? Andrew Bogut. The NASA's they might get the NASA's so that'd be nine. Maybe they could do it. I don't know though.

It'd be interesting. All right. We are back on Thursday guys. Thanks for being here. I know it's Valentine's day, but it's Valentine's day. It ain't Valentine's night. It's Valentine's day. It's bucks night. So thanks for being here. Tell your friends. Uh, I really do appreciate it.
