You need Indeed. Good afternoon, everybody. I am Bart Winkler. It is great to be here on YouTube today on a pop-up episode of The Bart Winkler Show. I am just finding out as I'm doing this that I don't know how many people are going to be watching live. Grant Bills is here.
Grant, I, dude, thanks for a couple minutes. Yes. So normally I go live on YouTube and I go live on Twitter. And I just posted and it says to be live on Twitter I need a premium subscription. I think you need to be verified to broadcast on Twitter now. Yeah.
What? Like I in the very near future was going to start streaming my show. And I feel like I really only want it streamed to like YouTube, but I wanted to shoot it on Twitter because that's where the people in your sphere see it.
You know, like Wisconsin sports fans will see you on Twitter probably before they'd see you on YouTube. So you might have to get verified. I might have to get verified, but then I'd probably. Can you hide it?
Can you get verified and then hide the blue checkmark and still stream? Well, I don't know. Shit. This really upsets me. This fuck.
This sucks. I do not want to get verified. I don't even want to be on the platform. I almost deleted it the other day. Stop.
No, you didn't. Nor should you. But I thought about it.
You think about a lot of things a lot of time. I'm sure. I did think about it, so I can't. Wow. OK, well, what I'm going to do is as I'm streaming live here, I am going to.
There's a commercial I am going to put a link on Twitter that I fuck. This rattled when I first jumped in, I found out about it. I know when I jumped in.
That's what you're saying. And I'm like, did Jordan Love just get extended or like I was like immediately going to Twitter to see what I missed. And no, you need to be verified to blast it out. I'm tweeting live on YouTube. Guess I need to be verified to broadcast.
On hashtag on here now. Wow. Yeah. All right. Shit.
Well, maybe that's a workaround. Anyway, a couple of things I won't take up too much of your time. A couple of things I did want to talk to you about.
My dear friend, Grant Bills. People are missing that. We took a July vacation. Yeah, just a little vacation. I miss doing it. I miss seeing you and Paul. I miss seeing you and Paul also. Get a little bit of a Toby Keith.
That's my truck feeling when I open up my feed and I see you and Paul have recorded something about me. Maybe he'll feel the same NBA free agency, but I'm like, that's okay. I can sit that one out.
I had nothing to add. You guys got that covered. Well, we did. I have not addressed Gary Trent Jr. yet.
That was a good signing that that made the off season. To a point where I can talk about it on my show and be entertained about it, because up until then, it's like, oh, Delon, right? It's like, it's fine.
But what do you want me to say? You know, like Torian Prince, can I just say that that whole rebounding thing that he did at the press conference a long time ago wasn't funny. I didn't. I thought that was lame. Remember that when he's like explaining to the reporter how to get a rebound? Remember what I told you that I texted you Torian Prince is the J Crowder of Bobby Portis's? It was pretty accurate. I laugh.
And then I relayed that one to my brother and he said, that's dumb. Did we confirm that Pat Beverly's contract in Israel is $2 million? Because he spun it as historic. I don't know.
Maybe that is historic. I just figured it would be more than that. Well, he said that they gave him everything that he wanted. I guess besides the money. He must have not wanted very much money then. Like, I don't know. Maybe they put him up at a place to live in Tel Aviv or wherever.
I don't know where they play. But when you blast something out as historic, it can't be $2 million. No, I've seen what you've seen. And it was at $2 million. You talked about it because I guess birds are chirping that this Jordan Love extension is going to be done at some point here. I fully expect it to be done before training camp starts, which is Monday.
Yeah, so I think it'll break tomorrow. But also, I can just do right now what I would do if I'm doing a show after it. I'd say, well, here are the numbers.
More than we probably would have expected two years ago, but I'm in. And then you do the thing. Well, we'll have to wait for the details to come out. Because God forbid you react to a contract before you see the actual fake numbers or the numbers we get first. And then we need to see how much guarantees we need to see. We need to see how it's structured, because that's where the Andrew Brand would tell us that really every NFL contract is two years and then we'll see. So really, what's funny is the news of the contract is going to break and then we will still have to wait even longer to really, I think, get our get our arms around it. I'll have to wait until smarter people break it down and put it in terms that I can understand because I'm not combing through all the data and putting it in a spreadsheet.
I'm doing all that stuff. I'm not smart enough. Because when Trevor Lawrence got signed, it was five years, two hundred seventy five million bucks. And then when you go through the contract, there was a bunch of money guaranteed at signing a little bit more as the contract continues. But it's like for a five year, two hundred seventy five million dollar deal, it's almost like it's a team friendly version of that deal. But I think that the main thing is Jordan Love.
I think is better than Trevor Lawrence or has been since we've seen him. And so he's going to probably these guys are going to want more. Maybe they settle around that fifty five million.
But again, how it breaks out, how it's structured is going to be a different thing. And there doesn't I don't think there need if you're the Packers, I don't think there's a need for. Like outs, I mean, maybe you build them in, but this is your guy, OK? You sat with him for three years. You're going to give him a big contract. This is your guy. I don't think they need to like, well, what if it's not, you know, if it doesn't work like sink or swim with him. That was what all of last year was for. This is your guy. So, you know, you pay him accordingly, I think.
I've just tried to say this on air as much as possible. The bar is so low for Jordan Love to to to make good on this contract, because it's his first extension and because physically he's still very much in his prime. He's still ascending as a talent and as an athlete, like physically talking about his body. If he's the 10th to 15th best quarterback in football over the next couple of years, this contract will be more than fine. It'll it'll be fine.
It'll be expensive, but it'll be fine. It's not going to hamper the team. It's not going to screw the rest of the roster. Now, when you start talking about his second extension or his third contract, as he gets older, then that's different, right? Because Rogers at the end, he kept resetting the market, but he was declining physically. Right now, the Packers are investing in a player and in an asset that is ascending. So this number is going to seem so huge, but it'll age so quickly.
It will age so quickly. Whereas the contract with Rogers at the end, it's like, yeah, that's a shocking number and he's just going to get older and we can assume decline at the end. So we need to view this contract extension through a slightly different lens than we viewed the final couple of extensions with Rogers.
And I don't know that all Packers fans are doing that. Well, even like Matt Stafford had signed a deal and is looking for more money already. That's one thing that I don't want.
I don't know. I don't want to go through a thing where in like two or three years, Jordan Love, well, I guess I don't care, wins the Super Bowl, wins MVPs and is going to want more money. I think that you just want to, you want to see a contract, you want it to get settled and then you want to go from there, I think. Yeah. And in three or four years, if he's great, like we'll talk about another extent. That's how it works, right? That's the price of having a good quarterback. Like Packers fans, we don't want to be bitchy about this.
Like this is the price. This is the small price of having a good quarterback or what we think is a good quarterback. And again, at the end with Rogers, we're trying to keep the Super Bowl window open. Like we're straining, we're holding both sides of the window and we're straining so hard as our quarterback, who's aging and getting worse, gets more money and players drop off the roster.
This whole team is so young and everyone is ascending. It's just a completely different dynamic. And I think we have a little bit of I don't want to say Rogers brain because that.
Yeah. But I think we're thinking of this extension in terms of, well, we don't want to screw up the salary cap. We don't want to hamstring the roster. Well, a lot of the rest of the roster is free. Whereas at the end with Rogers, again, it was older players who were on veteran contracts, like they weren't making what Jayden Reed like the players on this Packers offense. If you go look at Spotrak, like nobody on this offense is making any money except for Josh Jacobs, right? Who they just paid. And he's only 26. So the money is going to be a lot, but it's really not going to affect the team negatively like it would if he's 35 or if this is his second or third contract. That obviously it's different.
Got some people finding us on YouTube on the Dan Cheney YouTube stream queue for Jordan Love. Back to that over under fifty five million dollars, over under three and a half years guaranteed. He thinks over for both.
I do, too, but not by much. Like I think it'll be like 58 and probably four years. They're not going to get I don't think they're going to guarantee multiple years. The Packers have never historically guaranteed anything really past year number one. They might make a little bit of a concession on that, but I don't think a big concession. I could be wrong.
We'll see. Kyle says it will be more than what Lawrence got in Jacksonville. Kyle, Kyle, I saw your tweet that that's the tweet you were referencing. That's the tweet I saw earlier today.
I didn't know what to do with it. Yeah. Kyle said birds are chirping. So, Kyle, we've been waiting on your tweet all day because Kyle really don't miss. Kyle, it'll be more. I would trust them.
I would trust it's going to be more. OK, when's it going to happen? Anything else?
Yeah. Go live a half hour early. Do we go live a day early? When's it?
When's it going to happen? We're driven by the search for better. But when it comes to hiring, the best way to search for a candidate isn't to search at all. Don't search match with Indeed.

Go to your happy price Priceline. So training camp starts Monday. I still haven't applied. Oh, Kyle, update. Pen hasn't been put to paper yet. OK. So they're just trying to make sure they get like a commemorative pen for the occasion.
Yeah. Or the printer got jammed at twelve sixty five. It'd be such a Packers thing. They want it on the right.
They want the right layout stationary cardstock. Good stuff from Kyle. So training camp is Monday. I think I'm settled that minimum. I'm going to the shareholders meeting. In attendance. And then I haven't applied yet for a credential. Now, I'm no sports director.
But it's Thursday afternoon. I know I'm I'm like almost negotiating with myself. We'll be wait long enough. They won't give it to you. Pretty soon, this decision is going to get made for you.
If you don't apply for it, you should. You should absolutely go and cover it as a member of the media, because then if I do that, I would go to practice. Yeah. And I haven't covered a Packers practice in person in 13 years. You just go stand on the sideline with binoculars and a and a little pen and paper. It's not hard. Yeah, but no contingent of media hates me as much as Packers media. They don't think about you at all, respectfully. I don't think like if you were to appear, they'd be like, oh, that guy. They would get over it in the blink of an eye. Let me put it this way. They're probably not all the biggest fans, but you always seem to think that they're sitting in their office at twelve sixty five. Fucking Winkler.
Imagine if he was here. Like that's that's not that's not what they're doing. I would imagine. I don't know.
I've got confirmed reports that they do now. Just kidding. But you can't go here.
Here's here's what you need. Do you have a friend that you can stand next to? It's like going to a party. You want to show up to the party with a friend. I always did. I want to be able to walk in and deal with the socially overwhelming part of the experience with a wing person.
And then if we go our separate ways, we bounce around. That's one thing. But that original I need someone. Do you have someone on the Packers beat that you could you could lean on for that?
I feel like I do, but I don't know what their relationships are with others. Sure. I don't want to I don't want to toxic, toxic size, toxic.
I don't want to stain them. But I think that's not that's not like what's hindering me from going. What's what's hindering me from going is just the laziness of not sending this email.
Well, I guess I can't help you with that. I actually our sports director asked me last week, I said, is there any chance that at any point this season you would want to cover a Packer game? Because if so, I'll put your name down if there's any you know, if there's any possibility.
And I said yes. So maybe at some point this year, I will. I have had so much fun cosplaying a Brewers scribe.
I brought my binoculars last Sunday to the game. Why? Because you look out into the bullpen. I don't know.
Why not? I got a backpack. I only need it. There's only so many things that I need in there.
I need my laptop. And I don't know. It's fun. These people are my idol. Like I've been listening to sports radio since middle school. And these are I mean, these are titans of our business.
Will the and McCalvie. And I'm not kidding. Don't laugh at me.
I'm cheering in your celebratory nature. I've listened to these people on the radio forever and I've watched their video. I've watched them crap. So now when I get to go cover something, I just I just role play. It's like monkey see monkey do. It's like, well, I've watched these people. I just stand and try to fit in.
It's fun. You should absolutely do it on Monday. Also be a long day because I'll try to drive up to Green Bay. The shareholders things at three. I got to get back to the studio by nine.
You have plenty of time. I thought I thought about taking I'm not going to take off my work. I don't work till nine.
No. What you do is you you as Packers fans and I'm envious of you for this reason. I wish I was able to give a national perspective from time to time because I would be so obnoxious. If I were you on Monday, I would do a half hour on what it means to be a Packers owner. I would do more than half hour. Honestly, like I I would just complete like that would be the first part of my show. It's like I was at the ownership meeting, the pertinent financials, like I would come across completely like I am. Well, you are a legitimate NFL owner, but I would make everyone listen to that. I'm going to go through the bit I do where it's like all the things I legally can't really say, like I'm not supposed to tarnish the commissioner. I'm not supposed to bet on anything. I'm going to go through all that. I love that. All right.
One other thing that I specifically wanted you for. Is I saw this list. And you're a big connoisseur of sports at every level.
I saw this list about which high schools across the country. What nicknames are used the most mascot or for individual players? Mascot. So I was a Fond du Lac cardinal. That comes at number 17.
OK, I was an Indian turned Mustang. So Indians have fallen off the list. They used to be they used to be very prevalent all over the country and they've really disappeared. They used to be top five. They used to be one. They used to be one.
They used to be they used to be top five name. Now they're 15 now. Now high schools use it as a 15. They're still 15. Yeah. Three hundred sixty two high schools across the country. Damn. Mustangs are at 10. You know, with four hundred ninety four.
No. Trying to see if I get it. We need music. This is a this is a segment. I can't explain it, but I did a list on my show the other day. Oh, I did my first half Brewers takeaways and I'm like, I don't know why, but I need background music. Well, we do this because that's how sports radio works. This one's going to work.
I don't get a lot of free samples. I got that Twitter thing really threw me off this whole show today. All right. I'm looking for the top five nicknames at high schools used for athletics. Top five nicknames. I'm just going to start throwing out guesses. I would think that Warriors has got to be pretty high. The Warriors come in and I want to update as we go. The Warriors come in at number five. OK. Number five. The Warriors.
Yeah. Eagles. The Eagles come to the Eagles come in at number one. Oh, OK. Bulldogs.
The bull. Wow. That's a that's a throw. The Bulldogs come in at number four.
Grant. Wow. So many. There's there's a lot of Cardinals. I'm just going by Wisconsin is Cardinals up there.
Cardinals, like I said, was 17. Oh, OK. You said that. Yeah, that's right.
The one that I would have guessed is Wildcats. And that's at seven. OK.
But I would I would think in that frame. The lines. Yeah. So Eagles one, two, three, four is Bulldogs. Warriors is five.
So we need. I mean, something related to a cat. Not Bobcat.
I mean, Bratton. No, not Bobcats. Bobcats is 26. Panthers. Panthers comes in at number three.
OK. And then the other one is you might be overthinking it now at this point. Just think felines. Cats. No. Lions. The Lions are seven. Wow. You're right there.
Panthers, Lions, Leopards, Cheetahs, Pumas. What am I missing? I'm overthinking it based Bayside. Bayside had this.
It's Bayside, Milwaukee, Bayside. Saved by the Bell. Oh.
What to start with. It's a cat. T. Am I an idiot?
I think I am. What is it? A Thundercat.
What is this? That's every cat. That doesn't narrow it down at all. Tigers. Oh, yeah, you're right. Yeah, I did overthink that. So we just need number, which one are we missing? You got them all. Oh, we got them all?
Yeah, I didn't update that. Tigers. Yeah, I should have. New Richmond.
New Richmond, Wisconsin. Those maps, by the way, of all the counties with all the schools, they were missing some, but they were really good. Oh, yeah, that Stickles was doing.
Yeah. Really any kind of maps. I love a radio affiliate map. I think I was tweeting those out last year. Those, I love those, too.
A map that shows anything across the span of a state like that. I'm a big fan. Tigers. Damn, I am an idiot. What did you, that you did that?
That wasn't going to help. Well, I gave you Saved by the Bell. That might have been too, I mean, I thought that would get you the Bayside Tigers. Those are mascot. If you'd have said New Richmond, I would have nailed it.
But no, I'm an Indian turned Mustang. Indians is still 15th. Yeah, I'll give you the top 20. Eagles, Tigers, Panthers, Bulldogs, Warriors. I don't think I would have ever gotten Bulldogs. Well, we have the the Boyceville Bulldogs just north of where I grew up.
I think, I think. Let me look that up. Wildcats, Lions, Cougars, Knights, Mustangs. Knights is a classic one. Falcons, Trojans, Vikings, Spartans, Indians. And then Rams, Cardinals, Raiders, Patriots, Hawks.
A lot of birds, a lot of cats. Yes, I'm trying to look at. I can also tell you like schools that are just used by or names that are just used by one school. In your games would be the springers. That's in Fondy. Okay. The mighty dragons, the purple dragons, the pen dragons, the elephant, the mushers, the chesty lions, the goslings, the Moondogs, the Nikes, the Swifts. Kakanas, the galloping ghosts, right? The galloping ghosts have to be a one. One would think. The chesty lions are in Lawrence, Kansas.
Okay. I, in the conference from which I emerged, the Big Rivers Conference in Northwest Wisconsin, they're the Eau Claire Memorial Old Abe's. Pretty cool mascot, I think.
Purple color scheme. Eau Claire North, they were the Huskies. Just dogwater teams.
Just, just fucking awful at everything. But the old Abe's were pretty good. Of course, the Rhinelander hodags. That's a big one.
The hodags. Yeah. All right. Well, you're free to leave. When you first asked me about this and you said high school nicknames, I thought you meant for kids.
And I'm like, how am I possible? Spud and sport. What did you say? Patch? Flash? Yeah.
I'm like, what kind of topic is that? This is much better. I was pleasantly surprised.
Ace would be a good one. Did you ever have a nickname? Fucking loser. No, I didn't. I mean, not like one of those.
Not like a good one. Well, nicknames are just a play of your name, Winx. People called you Winx. I mean, I called you Winx, but that's because I thought you hated it. That's the only reason I did it. Well, that's why it was Winx Thinks. Bart Winkler's show takes up too much space in a tweet.
It starts to push lines of text to the next. I don't like it. But it's probably more, you know, whatever. I'd love to just be Bart Winkler, but I can't.
Is there a Bart Winkler? Someone's got it. They've tweeted one time, longitude and latitude. Or maybe three times. It's been too close. That's it. One's a reply. It's been inactive for a long time.
But again, I want to get off the platform. It's such a nice following. That's such a good resource. Do you have like 20,000 followers? How many followers do you have? I don't know off the top of my head.
14.6. I gotta say, I don't believe that for a goddamn second. Well, I'm going to continue my day. I'll let you go because I'm sure you have listeners that want to jump on and join you.
I'm going to go get some lunch. It's the damnedest thing. I was driving around Fitchburg this morning on my way into work, and you'd never know that there's a huge event going on just an hour and 15 minutes away in Milwaukee.
The damnedest thing. I wanted to tweet, but I liked Dan. I like Dan. Just some of the convention tweets have been bothering me.
And also, Dorsey is good. So for all of Bart's Milwaukee listeners, I don't know why we all got hot and bothered that people went to Dorsey and shared it online. I don't know how this was ever going to. You can't get out. You can't get out.
LaCroix Butler tweeted about it. He lives downtown somewhere, I think. He can't go anywhere. He's just stuck down there. You can't get in. Let's say I want to go to Uncle Buck's tonight. I can't get in. But if you're down there, you can't get out. So you see that video of Major Goolsbee's? No, what about it?
The guy was trying to get people into the restaurant. Can I show you and then you can dip? I'd actually like to see it. This is an event. The coverage of this event has interested me more than anything else. Because it seems like there was this expectation of what the RNC was going to bring to Milwaukee and people seem like it hasn't gone the way that folks thought it was going to go.
Well, I would still advocate that anytime you get an event here, there is long-term payoff. But I think that's the radio guy in me. How many times have I done different remotes where I would go to a Verizon store and I'd be there from 11 to 1 and they'd say, you're on the radio. You just said it. Where's everybody coming in?
Like you just said, it's 1110. Where are people? So what I would say is, look, we are blasting on the radio for three hours, Verizon, Verizon, Verizon, building awareness.
There is a chance that no one comes during this time. This isn't radio in the 70s. I can't go to a car wash and get 500 people. But radio advertising works. It's so effective.
Radio gets results. But sometimes people need to understand that there's not like, hey, calm down. I have to get there. Maybe I can't today.
So that's why if you do a remote, to advertise the remote in advance is smart also. Always. All right. Here is the video of the guy outside of Major Goolsbee's. I hope I can do this and don't need a check mark. I think I can. You see it?
Yep. We're open right over here. We all listen to G.E.
and support local businesses. Take a left, come into Goolsbee's. Democrats go straight, Republicans go left. Come right through the door, guys. If you keep watching, if you're a Democrat, take a left through the gate. Come on out. So he's left to get these people like Bears fans go that way, Packers fans, come on in.
If you're a Lib, keep walking straight. It's pretty good. I guess, I don't know, like is the convention like a big eating drinking fest? I feel like they got things going on.
You know what I mean? I don't know. They got official party business to conduct. Can they be out drinking until 1am?
I don't know. All I know is pot is open until 4 tonight. I might go over there after the show. All I know is that Radio Road didn't stop me and Horvat. We worked hard and partied hard.
We were out until the wee hours. Although Las Vegas doesn't need the business. Maybe if they ever do the Super Bowl in Milwaukee, Horvat and I can make it happen. Anywho. Well, good to see you.
Thank you for your time. Good to see you too. The high school game was fun.
I thought that was going to be a dud, but I didn't understand the game coming in. That was you know what I like. That was good content. Have a great rest of your show, Bart. Thank you. You want the link? Maybe you could do it with Bill. The mascot things.
Dude, I had a good segment today. I gave him a bunch of either ors for MVP picks. First coach fired. Comeback player of the year. Here's an interesting one.
The odds are the exact same. Deshaun Watson or Kyler Murray for comeback player of the year. Which one would you pick? I thought that one was interesting.
Deshaun. Also, but who's going to vote for that guy? He's a good point. Anyways, I'll put it on the back burner though. For another day. Maybe.
Possibly. Thank you, Bart. Alright, thank you. Grant Bills joining us as I'm streaming on YouTube.
And you can catch the podcast obviously wherever you get your pods. I gotta get verified if I want this on Twitter. Okay. Q found me somehow. That's nice.
What's up, Q? Man, I think Grant might have massaged those numbers for the odds for that. Oh boy, that is rough. That is rough.
No, I appreciate the RNC topic and I'm glad you're optimistic long term. I guess I'm thankful that it hasn't been a nightmare downtown. But this has been such a letdown for the local economy. I feel bad for any businesses that booked live bands or got extra staff for the week because it's just been a complete dud. I don't know if you saw I retweeted a quote from earlier but they basically told attendees not to go outside of the security zone, which is the exact opposite of what they were, they were claiming before when they were trying to get the city to fork over the cost for this event.
And this isn't a political statement. I think it's just kind of disappointing that there's been little to no economic impact immediately. If anything, there's going to be a lull this week. Well, yeah, I think a lot of people left town too, or the businesses down there, you know, don't, they gave remote work. Yeah, no, I think I like, again, if you're planning an event of any kind. They basically, it's a separate, it's, it's a separate part of the city it's, it's not accessible to people that come in which I understand, but also then people don't want to come out, you know, if you put like if you put walls between something. People aren't gonna be like, Oh, I want to scoot around five walls to go to that beer garden they're just gonna be like, I'm just gonna get on the bus and go. Well, I guess, then they could have said that beforehand that, hey, don't, don't go around telling the city, how huge this is going to be, and they had town hall after town hall trying to convince business owners to like invest in this week and bring on additional people to, to help out, and I don't know, I think it's it's sad so I'm going to make a point to go out to dinner tonight just to try and support local businesses. But maybe that's the next maybe that's Winkler versus event we have a pub crawl at all the bars that thought they were going to have more business that that's, I think that'd be great, because this has been like a little. Any reason to get some booze in my system.
Not about support anybody it's about getting my drink on as a 40 year old. Also, that's an amazing half art, I gotta get one of those. Thanks. It's the Wisconsin license plate logo.
I saw a guy wearing it at my kids soccer and I just went online and bought it I did. It's one of those if you know you know, do you have any thoughts on Gary Trent obviously has to be good. I think it's a huge signing I think it made the prints and right signings, like to X impact, because now they're not potential starters they're, they're going to be bench players and I'm really excited to see what happens with all these, these workouts that they've been having with vets. It seems like we're not done tinkering, so maybe maybe they got a trade left in the tank to free up a roster spot but I don't know, I think this front office proved a lot of doubters wrong. And, and I think people just need to have a little more patience, especially when we made such a big move last year. So, and then the summer league has been a bit of a letdown, not as big as the RNC in Milwaukee but we'll see what comes from that. So people are digging AJ Johnson, AJ Johnson and then Chris Livingston. It is hard to watch those games I mean I appreciate the fandom and I, it's hard. I, I thought it was fun they brought docking, and he's got his gray goatee shown his age a little bit.
So trying to distinguish himself from Lawrence Fishburne. Yeah. So, but, yeah, I think we still, we got to find either a backup point guard.
Or some more height, and I don't know if Chris the roster full. It is but they're doing these workouts so they're, they seem to be anticipate like they're going to bring somebody in for for camp. And we'll see what happens. Oh, there's a 20 motorcycle cops on the highway heading towards the city. That's great tax dollars at work. All right, I should get off the phone since I'm driving. Yeah. All right, see ya that's Q. Q. Q on QAnon. That's our new segment. We're brought to you by Happy Place Hemp.

Brewers came out with their 2025 schedule which is always curious how it gets released in the middle of the season. That's a cut from Deadpool.
Can't wait to see that next week, I was watching a scene. The Brewers season next year is going to be interesting in terms of again the start to it so we've still got this season to get to the odds right now are that they get 88 and a half wins, much better than the 77 and a half that they were projected at the beginning of the season. Dominic Cutronio had a good kind of analysis of it. There are a handful of dome stadiums in the league and on opening day Arizona plays at home. Houston plays at home, Miami plays at home, Seattle plays at home, Tampa plays at home, Texas plays at home, Toronto plays at home. There's been a complaint that a lot of season or a lot of games get rained out early. And there are dome stadiums there are southern locations to maybe take advantage in warmer locations, but the Brewers are in New York again. So instead of the Mets it's going to be the Yankees. That's exciting to start the season against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium but it's not exciting to do it in March.
That's not that exciting. I have the schedule in front of me I will show you on the Dan Cheney YouTube stream. What the problem is, for some reason I can't look at it. The screen is all messed up.
If I show you the schedule. I don't know what is going on here. It is. It's like it's not complete. What the hell. I mean, I need to see I need to see the Brewers schedule. I guess people have tweeted it. So what's the first thing you look at when you when you check for the Brewers schedule.
First thing you're going to look at is where do they start. Who do they finish against. And in this case it'll be the Reds at home.
And I look because I'm, you know, we're all obsessed. When do the Cubs come to town. The Cubs will come to town in the beginning of May. And then the Cubs will come here at the end of July. So, again, just a couple of times with the abbreviated NL Central schedules. I also look at Memorial Day Brewers are at home against Boston.
I look at the fourth. They are on the road in Miami, and I look at Labor Day, and they are at home against Philly. So two of the three holidays, they got I haven't looked if every team plays on all those days, baseball does a poor job of that. I think baseball just prints out one schedule and says, we're good with it.
I mean, again, the Brewers try to find a way to have the first weekend series March 27 what's the weather going to be like in, in New York. They are at home on my birthday. For the first time in like 10 years so it's a Monday I may have to go to that. I may have to go to that. Somebody says chicken wings in bathroom.
Yep, I once ate chicken wings in a bathroom, so I'm glad that that lives on to this, to this day. I got a voicemail on the Carl's Place voicemail line from Vincent in Anaheim, 402-915-BART you can still call me there, 402-915-BART. And I have that to play for you here. Shit. Okay, here we go. Vincent in Anaheim, leaving a message. I'm barely gonna be studying on March of this year, your national show, and then the link with her.
Wow, March. Very good knows that bad. So, as much love to y'all man go crew crew man and I know you do your thing on a national show man you need to tie it up real quick man you will pop in the map part to do your thing shout out to all the people holding it down for the podcast. Fuck with you from day one and all that man. But yes, I wanted to check in, you know, all star break is done. Whenever you get this go Brewers man I think they're still going to keep on holding on to that first place and it might shock the world this year. And I go angels and go giant to my two other teams are recording the MLB I go Brewers kind of the TV show Vago group group.
And I just want to check in like I said man and that's about it. I started back I listened to you. You know how I always always listen to me I missed all the way back at mark. I go crew crew man I still think that this might this might be the year for the Brewers that it I'll be, you know, I'll be checking in with Sparky over there they know I always call the post game show with him out and then do you know that funky you know, I keep doing what you're doing.
Go brewers go brew crew all day. Hey, Vincent and Anaheim, who again listens to every show we put out. He is on March, it is July 18.
So bucks are still playing in his mind, that's good. Got some NFL draft preview to look forward to Vincent, you could just skip to today, I mean, you're probably good into the Winkler verse so if Jordan love does sign, you know, in the near future, pop on here again talk to you guys.
