This will be the first shutout of the 2024 NFL season. The Packers first in the last three years.
So, a dominating performance in all facets. I guess if you want to be Monday morning quarterback guy, there's some things you could maybe nitpick. We'll see how much I feel like doing that because the answer is I don't. But I've seen a little bit of it.
Got somebody texted me a little bit of it. Not really fond of the passing game tonight, particularly the starting quarterback. So maybe we can jump into that at some point. Packers get the win. So, great win for them. They clinch a playoff spot and we have figured they were going to be into the playoffs. They are in the playoffs. They will be a wild card team.
What slot that will be in, we do not know at this point. They could go to one of the likely the NFC West or NFC South winner. However, that shakes out and that's what we're going to keep our eye on over the next couple of weeks. Packers will probably be favored in either of those contests.
You would think. But I'm not sure who it's going to be against and how those teams are going to be playing as they get into that stretch of the playoffs. 34-0. I'm glad that Troy Aikman spent a few moments talking about the people that were complaining about the college football playoffs. Those were bad. Those were not great. The games.
But, there's a lot of different reasons for that. Home atmosphere. These are some really good teams that were hosting these games. College football, it basically, and I'll get right back into the Packers, but it basically only exists for people that complain that the SEC is not getting better treated. And then the SEC gets their ass kicked with Tennessee. Why I'm bringing that up is because this game tonight was bad.
Like from an entertainment value, it was bad. The Saints are beat up. Packers didn't have to do really much. You got a touchdown from every running back tonight.
Josh Jacobs got a tiny boo-boo and came out. So they were being cautious that way. But all of a sudden, and this feels like a more recent thing, where every game has to be the most important game that's ever existed or the most entertaining. And I say this a lot with college football, but now I saw McAfee talking on NFL game day about how the NFL should have more flex scheduling. He should have more flex scheduling in the NFL because we've been getting some bad games. And I'm sure they'll look at this and be like, why is this a Monday night game?
Packers, Saints. We can't just be flexing all the best games at the best times. I mean, we do flex games.
How can you do more? You just want, so every week we need to sit back and say, all right, all the crab games can be played Sunday at noon and then some good games. And then we're going to have the games of the week. We can't do that.
Why? Why can't we just watch a bad game and move on with our life? Because if we watch a good game, we then move on with our life.
The pitching about making every game be the most important game, most entertaining game. So yeah, tonight's game, even as a Packer fan, where were the stakes? Where was the emotion?
Where was the desire? Who was looking at reels in the third quarter? Who was, I mean, shit, how much of the fourth quarter did you watch? I mean, it was on. What was I doing? I was looking to see. I had a bad weekend.
Nothing's hitting. I went to Oneida, got destroyed. I went, my DraftKings, getting beat up. Fantasy, oh, I did the Sleeper. I got 10 free $5 bets, lost them all. Fantasy, I'm in five championship games, or I'm in five semifinal games. I'm only getting the one championship.
One game I lost, 205 to 203, which I would have won if I would have put Tucker Craft in over TJ Hockinson. I don't know why I did not do that. Oh, I do. I knew why. Because I'm an idiot.
Because I'm a stupid, dumb, loser, idiot. 34 to nothing, the Packers win. Jordan Love, 16 of 28, 182 yards and a touchdown. There were a lot of passes where he just was like, if it's not there, I don't care. How many times did he just throw it into the ground?
Even if there was a guy kind of there, he just threw it into the ground. Could have had a pick, maybe two, but didn't. Good statistical game in most categories, the 6.5 yards a throw.
Relatively low in 16 to 28 isn't, I mean, it's a good night if you're Chris Middleton, but that was him. I think I should, and I don't know what people have been saying online, I just have one buddy in a text thread that says Jordan Love looks bad tonight. And maybe this wasn't Jordan Love's best game, but while some people still may want to do the thing where you see Jordan Love play and you dissect every one of his throws, I'm so far past that. Jordan Love's a good quarterback. Jordan Love is closer to a great quarterback. We don't need to be worried or second guessing Jordan Love. Plus, he probably was a little nervous. He's all unofficial now with Toyota.
He's a guy and he probably didn't want to screw that up after becoming a hashtag Toyota partner. Hashtag Happy Place Hemp, 25% off. Promo code is BART.

Coca-Cola Company Bobby enjoyed the good ol' woodshed beatdown. Adam, has there ever been a division this stacked with wins in a season, or a team with 11 wins in 3rd place and 3 games to go? It's pretty crazy, this NFC North, and it's still crazy. The Packers, remember, have lost to 3 teams, and they are 11-4. And every team the Packers have lost to has a better record than them at 11-4.
Lions and Vikings 13-2 each, and then the Eagles at 12-3. Austin, wide awake tonight, my man! I kept it together for this one there, Bart. I love it, I love it. I have an in-season tournament shirt myself. NBA Cup Championship shirt. I want to thank my buddy Jeff, who bought it and sent it to me. It's pretty sweet. He was watching the NBA, Bucks win tonight too over the Bulls, but I was watching the game and he goes, got you something.
Vandelay Industries for Austin, very nice. He texts me, got you something, and I zoomed in on a picture of the shirt and I go, please God. And he's like, it'll be there soon. And it came today.
Nice, that's very good. I wanted to point on Hot Take Jake's comment that the Packers never took this game seriously. And I don't think he was saying that facetiously. I think he was saying that in a way that the Packers were going to just come in and dog walk the Saints. 13-point favorites. 14, and I covered, baby. Let's go. I put $5,000 that the Saints would have over half a point. Just kidding. They were never going, is that quarterback of theirs, is that their third string guy? Yeah, Rattler got drafted in the fifth round because Hayner was the other guy and he sucked. Yeah, that guy that called in your national show and thought he was going to be good, that was a terrible take. Yes, that was very bad.
That was very, very bad. But yeah, he's their third guy, but they drafted him like, okay, well, you know, maybe. And there was a couple of throws where you're like, sure, because he was, this guy. He was gone in them, for sure. It was him and Caleb at Oklahoma.
And then he transferred over to South Carolina and they did all right. It was always going to be a game that the Packers were just going to kick ass and it dominate in the cold. And I was listening to the fan today and Sparky was talking about these guys training, or not training, warming up with their shirts off in the cold. What's your take on that? Because I think it's fucking stupid. Like it's cold, you're going to be cold. I think...
It's not going to make a difference. Well, I think, I'll bring in Hot Take Jake here too. What's up, buddy? What up?
I think that it, like the first time it ever happened, when would that event, 1958? Somebody comes out, it's cold. They come out without a shirt. They're showing you, we're not bothered.
The other team's like, oh, maybe we don't have that edge. To continue to do it now, I don't, it's just going to make you cold. And then you're going to be cold later. It doesn't, it's a waste of everyone's time. I don't like it.
And you look like an idiot too. I think my opinion on this has changed because I'm getting old now. And like when you get old, you get freaking cold. Jake, this winter, like I'm, I'm colder as I've ever been. Yeah, 20 degrees feels like negative 20. Yeah, but last year, up to last year, I was still, I was still wear a sweatshirt, no jacket guy. Yeah, the trick was like, you just got to act unaffected and don't tense up, but that doesn't work anymore. Then again, I did, I did have a spare tire on me, huh?
That's true. You got to have a spare tire on you, huh? Is that a medium? No, it's a large. Well, I just want to say, and I said this on Facebook as well, that you can no longer rip on me for the helmet.
Friend bought it for me. Either way, like you're still wearing it. Like when they, you saw that the bucks unveiled the banner, right?
I had secondhand embarrassment for them. Did they actually, I did not see that. Yeah, they have a, they have an NBA cup banner. And it's not like the Lakers, right? It's just a full banner.
It's a full banner. Like the Lakers have one where they're going to, every year they put it, every year they win it, they're going to put it up. But look, you gotta, you just, you gotta embrace it. It happens. It's a thing. Don't, don't win a title and be embarrassed about it.
I'm pretty sure it's the same size as their NBA championship banner. And it's like in the same spot. Like that's embarrassing. Well, it's not like there's much up there. Well, here's what I would say.
I got all the room from when they kicked the Admirals and Wave out of that building. This is true. But I would say go over the top, make it bigger than the NBA championship banner. Like be sarcastic about it. That would be fun. I like your thinking. So you, all right. I feel like I've convinced you.
If you're, I mean, only if you're going all the way in. I still feel like some people are legitimately excited about it though. And that's kind of weird.
Yeah, I wonder who those people are. Hey, real quick. If you're going to like try to get someone to jump off sides on fourth down, even though you're going to punt. But you're like, hobo, we'll get them to jump and then we'll get a free play. You have to actually go for it like one time in your history.
Thank you for bringing that up. Darren Rizzi. He, does he just like, he must have watched every movie ever made. And says, I'm going to be the, what's the word amalgamation. Amalgamation. Yeah.
Yeah. I'm going to be amalgamation of every coach I've ever seen in a football movie. And there's so many of these guys that just like try too hard when they're mad. I mean, I, you know, I've done the coaches bit a hundred times. I, one of my favorite takes that I have to start saying more is I think Bobby unite is the worst thing that's ever happened to coach.
Because the way that he acted and all the people that emulate him, I mean, I go to high school gyms. And there's these coaches that are just, you know, you're just okay. Yeah. You're the, you're the history teacher by day. Just because you're able to pack your small town arena, put 500 people in the sardine can doesn't make you Bobby fucking night the second coming.
Interesting. Stop acting like it. You know what this reminds me of, I've, I've heard this theory before that like the one of the grit or the, the ironic things about greatness is that you'll have people that are trying to mimic it that aren't great. So there's this theory that Michael Jordan did more to hurt the game of basketball than he did to help it. Because pre Jordan, it was all about rivalries and like magic and bird were the stars, but it still was like Celtics Lakers and like it was a, it was the team success. And after Michael Jordan, the kids just watch Michael Jordan. They're like, I'm just going to shoot the ball a thousand times a game and it's going to be about me.
I don't know if I subscribe to that theory, but it is an interesting take that if you're not great and you imitate greatness, you just look really stupid. Like what I try to do. Come on, Bart, don't sell yourself short.
You're you're fishing right now. I heard a take today that you need to make the NBA court longer. All right. We can get to this another time.
It was a bad take. What else are we going to get to this, though? This is like a throwback episode. This is so good.
I'm so pleased right now. Yeah, there's everybody has their take on how to fix the NBA, even though it's fine. Like I think Chris Broussard was like, you take the three point line and you make it straight across from the corner. But it goes straight out of bounds. And that's the only place where you get threes and no more corner threes. And I'm like, we're really just overthinking this thing.
Just get better at basketball. Like, I don't know. I think a great take is one that Bart has is where these things will build self-correct. But but it takes too long is the problem. Yeah. And we live in a society where, you know, it's instant gratification.
Do it now. It's why did we why did Michael's ever say that we need to ban the shift? I mean, we don't need to ban them. We didn't know we did. We did it because everyone's bitching about shit because I need it now rather than just learn how to hit the baseball. Let's let's change the entire strategy of the game. All right. I'm going to ask you about the Packers.
OK, let's start. What are we feeling like? Obviously, they're good enough to kick the shit out of this team. You know, the Viking game could go either way.
The Bears, they should win. And then I think people expect us to win our first playoff game wherever it is, even though it will be on the road. It will be wildcard, right? No matter what. Yep.
Five or six. OK, well, we play in Atlanta slash Tampa or in the I was going to say St. Louis in Los Angeles. And then if we win, it's, you know, whatever the path is going to be, Detroit or Philly. I was going to say Philly. That might be.
That might be the one that I would be most confident in the really whenever you get there. Well, there's the old saying, Austin, if we play Detroit, it's hard to beat a team three times. Well, here's my thing with Detroit. I am not super convinced they that we even have to worry about seeing them, not only because they're just I mean, they're falling apart.
They barely have enough guys to field the team. But also, PC principal is going to screw up in epic fashion in the playoffs. It is destined to happen. He's going to do the stupid crap that he gets away with in the regular season. And it's going to burn him just like it did last year. He's addicted to it. Yeah, he's an idiot. Like it's I don't think like I would bet my mortgage on it.
It's craziness the way I'm a team that worries me. This is water tonight. I do want to make that clear. Good for you. So is this dry December? No, we're not even on a dry three hours. But my man, my kids have got me thinking about drinking again. I'm telling you, Jake, don't do it again. No, I'm past that.
But it's just it's that little inkling that pops in there every now and then. You know, here's my thing with Green Bay. I am like you drink out of this. They win that first game.
I think if they do play Detroit, I think they beat Detroit. And then nobody's nobody's like. Oh, we're going to win the fucking Super Bowl, right? Yeah.
Is anyone like that? I'm not like gung ho about it. I said it tonight. I said they're going to they're going to win it. They go to Minnesota and win 34.
Nothing. OK. Yeah, I just it reminds me a lot of, dare I say, the year they won it last time. Super Bowl 45 were like, no, I didn't expect them. But it's like, OK, they're putting it together. This is a fun team to watch. And as we all know, the NFL is about attrition as much as it is about talent. So they seem to be getting healthy. I know people are worried about Jair. I feel like he would have played the last two weeks if it was a playoff game.
They're being cautious because they have. Where is he? Where is he now?
Jair, because he's he's been practicing the last. No, no. Well, he's not a packer.
Who did he sign with? Huh? Jair Alexander, you're saying you're telling me now you're still a packer? Oh, this is a bit. They all aren't they all. Yeah, that's true.
This entire show is a bit. Also, I would love nothing more. It would almost make it worth a playoff loss. If week 17 Malik Willis just puts up like 45 points on Chicago. Oh, wow.
That would be fun. Yeah. Hey, people, you know, you look you look good in this two throws tonight. Did you see the barstool guy this week? Like, I almost felt bad for him. But then I remembered how much of a colossal douchebag is.
And I didn't. But big cat. Yeah. Yeah.
Just basically saying there is no. Oh, you're pro big cat. Yeah. I don't want to talk about it because you get one stool here and it's over.
God, could you imagine being in the same room with that guy? Like he seems like a fine dude. Oh, man. Yeah, I like them. Do you like I've done a really good job, so I don't even know what you're talking about because I've done a really good job of like I barely go on the Internet anymore. I see. I see what the play here is. Bard, you're trying to get him on the show, aren't you? No, I'm playing defense.
I like my fourth show at infinity. They're like I was like, you know, big kids got this theory that the dolphins are bad in the cold because of their jerseys. And in principle, it's like the dumbest thing you would ever think to hear. But it's 100 percent right.
I totally agree with it. And then so someone only heard dumbest thing. They clipped it, sent it. All of a sudden, you got. You know, I get, you know, it was it was it was a light. It was a light. It wasn't the main army.
It was just like a little side quest. But, you know, you hear. I think there's some legs to that, though. I had a you know, my my text thread tonight with my football buddies was like they always razz me because the Saints. I was just I was just going to bring this up anyway, because the Saints, some of these teams, like just the way they look, the Saints, the Texans, the Dolphins. They can't like the things. How did the Saints ever win a Super Bowl? I get what you're saying. How did that team ever win a Super Bowl?
Because they're paying bonuses if you rip a guy's ankle up or, you know, give him a brain injury. Was that the year they won, though? Who was behind it? Dan Campbell. That was his thing.
Yeah, he was really well, he was biting kneecaps back then, I guess. So freakin loser. Oh, yeah, I'm never on the Internet. All I see is. That we're going to invade Panama or some shit, that's all I've really been aware of. I deleted Twitter, so I'm kind of yeah, I have no idea what's going on anymore either. I've been I've been off the Internet as well. It's it's no good out there, boys.
Blue Sky's nice. Yeah, but it's still all the same thing. We're all like. We're all like looking for our little communities. The Winkler verse. Yeah, that's what I don't need.
I just want the fucking radio shows back. If I had what I care about, if I had an app, a social media app that was just the Winkler verse, like I would have no other apps on my phone. This is this is my you know, it would get updated like twice a month. That's all right. It's like that website years apart. I I every week I think. When was the last time that thing was fucking updated every week? I'm like, I swear to you, I think. All right.
What's a day where I can carve out like two hours? And. Update that website. And then it always escapes me, it always gets away from me and then a new Marvel show starts.
And then what if? Yeah. Hey, do you guys remember Gary Wolf had a Web site and it looked like a Geocities page? Is it not online anymore? I don't know if it still is. It probably has the little like flashing gifts on it.
It's an angel fire page. Awesome. That's before your time, buddy.
Hey, I'm thirty three. I remember some of you remember Geocities. Yeah. Yeah.
I had a bunch of Geocities Web site. All right. Number of Super Bowls won by Kyle Shanahan. Zero days since Sports Talk Radio died in Milwaukee. Five hundred fifty four plus number of bucks. Twitter accounts.
Bart is blocked. Seven hundred bucks. Number of days since Brewers won a World Series. Still counting at forty five thousand. There's some in there. Yeah, the podcast update.
Yeah, but that's because it's like an auto. We have one more act for you this evening. I don't even need to say his name. Mr. Bob Dylan. A complete unknown is now a Golden Globe and Critics Choice nominee for Best Picture. Bobby, what do you want to be?

All right. Josh, talk to us. Hey, Bart. Boots on the ground, bud. Boots on the ground here. Walking just out of the stadium. Why did you stay for the whole thing?
Just left. We made it through the whole game. You were at a preseason game.
I know it was Saints poor performance, outer domination out there. It was awesome. Where did the crowd get bored after a while? Did you guys get bored or was it a party or what? Yeah, it was it was honestly kind of boring. Needed a couple couple beers to keep us interested. Honestly. But honestly, good time and enjoyed it all the way through. I don't know.
Just I don't know. It was good overall. Where are you headed now? Where are you going now? Where are you going? We're going for an after drink at Stadium View close by.
But yeah, it was pretty crazy. Pretty just utter domination. I'm really excited for next week's game against the Vikings. I don't know if we can win or not, but I'm. The Saints just look like a different team than us out of a different league, honestly.
Yeah, they're bad. I've been listening to you guys a whole time. I don't know what you guys are all saying.
Austin and hot take Jake Abbott listener. But first time I'm calling in, really. So thanks for for taking my time. I'm pumped. I'm pumped that you did that. I'm. Yeah. Yeah. Appreciate it.
Bread the love. Beautiful. Honestly, immaculate winter vibes out here today with the wind, the snowfall. The Christmas vibes just really great.
So it looks beautiful out there. Yeah, I really did. I'm very jealous. Yeah, it was great. And yeah, going to celebrate in a little bit afterwards here at the bars and looking forward to the next two weeks. I don't know what we can hold up in the playoffs here, but I'm excited for whatever the enjoy the enjoy the ride sort of thing. Oh, yeah.
Enjoy that ride, baby. Yeah. Well, cool. Thanks, man. Thanks for popping on.
Yeah, for sure. I have a drink. I was going to be like, I don't know what I was going to say. It's all good. I was seeing what's going on.
You guys talk about bucks at all the night. I know Chris was leading the team here. Dang. Yeah.
Middle Middleton showed a pull out tonight. That was awesome. Cup champions. I was debating about getting one. Oh, you said it's a comfortable fit. I know. Awesome. I take you guys got to be getting one of those shirts. I got an in-season tournament shirt from I'll get one of those shirts.
I think it's fantastic. I'll get one about two years from now at Goodwill for forty five cents or whatever it is. Yeah. I'll put it right next to my farve jets jersey. Yeah. No, it's comfy. Get it.
It's good fabric. I didn't have a farve jets jersey, by the way. I had one too.
And within like the last two years, I got rid of it right away. I didn't see any of the obviously any of the Monday Night Football broadcast. But did they show any of the Mark Murphy tribute half times?
I don't. I didn't see halftime. Maybe they showed like a. Was it good?
Yeah, I thought it was solid. They the crowd was into it showing sort of growth or bringing a championship to the city and the state. People were into it. And it's kind of a cool thing that Mark Murphy did what he did.
But also kind of cool that the Packers have this crowd that we have this sort of like once they get old enough, they sort of move on and move into the next guy, whoever that might be. But it was cool. People were into it.
Josh, I had a question for you. Were you one of the participants in the wave tonight? No, I was. I'm I'm anti wave man. My I was with I was in the game with my wife and I was like, no, we ain't we're not we're not participating in this wave. But I feel like if there ever was a game where the wave is acceptable, it was tonight. Yeah, it is never acceptable. What about if I like take my kid and I have to do the wave? Yeah, if you're with your kid, like that's a little different story. I don't know.
I have I get the money back again. So I want to be into the game and not into the wave. I have a hot take. The wave is a thousand times more acceptable than storming the field ever is. Fuck.
What are you just I don't know where you had a hot take here. Helmet hat Jake. You storm the field. You go out there.
Yay. And then what? Then you're just standing there. It's stupid. You party and you dance around out there. And here's the funny thing is like teams will be or like a college football game. The number 22nd ranked team in the country gets beat and the fans storm the field. What are we doing? When you say fans, you're like you're thinking it's a 19 year old children.
They didn't used to do that. Now we understand the game. We missed out. That's that's like winning a mid-season tournament and having shirts and hats made and doing a full trophy presentation. The in-season tournament. Yeah. The NBA Cup.
All the in-season tournament. Hey, back on topic. What a world that we live in. We have an automatic kicker, a phenomenal backup quarterback, no pass rush.
But hey, we've got the kicker in the backup QB. I'm happy as a pig and shit. I love it.
I got nothing to follow up. All right, guys, I got it. I'm going to head out. Josh, see you. Thank you, guys. Go pack.
Go have a happy holidays. Josh, what a big day view. Big day view. You brought it. I really like the first.
I will say that it's great. That as good as Jordan Love is, I think that he is on the fact that we have a running game and it's like it is so solid. They went down to the third running back today and he scored twice. Oh, yeah. No, they all scored. They all scored. Yeah.
Well, that's what's great. Jacobs, who I guess is fine. 13 to 69 a touch. Wilson, 11 to 52 a touch. Chris Brooks, six to 23 a touch. Now, Josh Jacobs probably fucked a lot of people over in fantasy.
I won the semifinals because he got pulled. I got Michael here saying win next week against Minnesota, then we can address the playoffs. Stoked for next year with AJ Dylan and Jacobs. Tom says AJ is not. AJ Dylan won't be on the team next year. We have to decide between Wilson and Brooks with Marshawn Lloyd returning. There you go. AJ Dylan is never going to know.
By the way, Bart, I know you love this. If Marshawn Lloyd, if he ever comes back, it's like we just got another, you know, acquisition. You know, it's like a trade deadline, like a trade deadline. Yeah, it's Jimmy Nelson's coming back. It's like it's like we made a trade just like Macker's Vikings 325 to answer this question. But hey, the whole thing that's great about tonight with love looking like ass is that it didn't matter. Like that's what's awesome. That's why when you say, is this a Super Bowl team? I'm like, probably not, but I can see it is like they don't like Jordan.
I thought that was his worst game since he's been healthy by far. And they won 34 to nothing. Like I know they were playing a JV team, but still like that's pretty damn cool.
And what what's the old adage? You running game and defense wins in the playoffs. What do we see tonight? Thirty four nothing in the run game was shoved down their freaking throats. Can't be happier than that.
You're hoping for playoff success. Just a little positive take. Oh, guys.
Tim. Oh, no, I got a comment here from Bob. Oh. Oh, Jesus.
It says Skoll. Oh, that's adorable. Because that's that's what I do. If I'm a Packer fan, which I am, I'm nice.
My team doesn't play. I like search YouTube. I'm like, what are some of the most fucking low rate podcasts that are talking about the Vikings tonight? And I go and find them and comment, go back, go on them. I probably would do that, actually.
I mean, what are we fucking doing? Think about it. If you're doom scrolling at night, you're trying to fall asleep. I could see it.
I might do that. He must be like hate following you, though. Right. Like what? Why? Guys, if LeBron James doesn't get over one and a half steals and blocks in the second half, I am going to possibly never think about sports again. I thought you were going someplace dark, bro.
No, I mean, that's what happens with gambling. Bob can't help himself. Bob, we love you. Join me.
Hop on the Stream Yard there. No, I'm going to go to bed soon. All right.
Well, then let's shit can it. Oh, oh, I wanted to read. I want to read Wolf's Press Box dot com. Yes, please. This is what we've been waiting for.
He wrote an article. I miss these bits. Heads up the Packers. Saints ain't all that bad. Love's been good. It should be a lovely night for the green and gold then again.
Well, indicators point towards love having a five star performance. It'd be foolish to believe the Packers are going to skate past the Saints on the. Because the Saints are actually darn stingy at giving up points. In fact, they ranked 12th in average points allowed per game at twenty two point three. And get this, the Saints haven't allowed more than twenty one points in their last five games. A stupid analysis. It's easy to see why the Packers are big favorites.
My prediction, Packers twenty seven, Saints twenty. Who employs him? It's not it's called Wolf's Press Box. He's self-made, buddy.
God, he's his own boss. Hey, didn't the Saints or didn't the Vikings struggle with the Saints recently? Or am I remembering that wrong? Huh? Yeah. I just had a buddy text me a fantasy match up.
He lost one thirty eight point eight four to one thirty eight point five eight. I'm glad. You're glad?
Yeah. My friend, my friend who bought me this shirt. I just I don't know when people give fantasy football updates to me. I'm like, who is this for? What?
Why on earth would I care about any of this information? So the way that I was telling a friend this tonight is like this Brewers season. Oh, I started on the Brewers.
Yeah, I was kind of detached. Eighty two and a half wins, by the way. The over they will. Bob, Bobby, Merry Christmas. Fuck yourself. How come how come I'm at a point in my life where I say I go Merry Christmas and some people are like, wow, good for you. It's fucking Christmas. Have a merry one.
What are we doing? Don't get it. OK. But I said with the Brewers, I was detached from them. I was detached. I didn't feel it. You know, I didn't watch a lot of the games, working at night, watching other stuff. And then it wasn't that I was detached.
It was just that I was burying it. Because when Pete Alonso hit that home run, every single feeling that I would have, it all came and volcanoed out. So I'm in 10 fantasy leagues. OK. During the season, I'm like, whatever. Who knows? Fuck it.
Who cares? But then I get down to this point where it's the playoffs and I know, OK, there's five games I have to follow. I'm in the semis. I can win some money. And I lost four of them.
And then it fucking. So I felt like Pete Alonso had four home runs on me yesterday. I'm in. I do start a well, one one league. One league I wasn't even in the playoffs.
I just said, hey, guys, I'm out last night because I hate these people. This other league. This other league, they have a group chat. This is the biggest problem with fantasy. Jake is that not do you not only are you in fantasy leagues anymore, you have to be an active participant of a separate text thread, which is horrendous, by the way. And there's people there. And I don't you know, I don't know people in this league. I got in through another guy and then I went on there last night because at the league, I lost two or five to two or three just to say, like, how in the fuck did I just lose this game? And then people are like, whoa, whoa, he's real. I mean, what is happening?
So I scroll up. There's this whole season long joke that I'm not real, that the commission made Bart Winkler up to have a second team. There's like four of the team names in the league, like about my name being a fake person. Just because I'm not on a fucking WhatsApp thread. The only reason I downloaded this stupid app in the beginning with was just it was. He's the guy, the guy, the guy, the guy text everybody and goes, guys, I need you all to go to WhatsApp.
It's new. That's going to have the draft details on it. Just text us, just make a Facebook group, whatever, or a text thread. So any league with a separate like, I can't do it. Do you ever do the like in-person draft?
We haven't been able to in a while. See, to me, when I used to play fantasy, that was literally the only fun part about it was like the draft. And after that, it was just like. And I'll date this stupid shit, and then I got to deal with people sending me trades that are horrendous, like they're always better than the guy.
Yeah. Bobby wants to know what would happen if I said the F word on the radio show. Carlos would hit the dumb button. I've been well, I've been like, I think there's a switch in my brain, you know, to not do it. I almost did it, though, on Friday. I don't know what it was. It was like innocent. It was like not even like trying to make a point. It was just like I was almost like, I don't fucking know one of those. And it stopped myself. The handful of times.
You have a great, great take to. I think you were talking about Aaron Rodgers. And you you were like, there's people that swear.
And they just naturally swear. Yeah, I'm like, yeah, I'm about to swear and he's going to text his girlfriend now. He's got girlfriend now. Oh, well, he probably text.
You probably text her. You guys going to watch the Netflix show? Enigma? Absolutely. When I get time to do it.
Yeah, I don't think you could pay me enough. Oh, I got four hours to burn at some point. It's so great to have a documentary and you name it the one thing everyone you want everyone to refer to you as. And I love Aaron Rodgers and Enigma other than Aaron Rodgers. But you know what I love about the doc is clearly when they set this thing up, they're like, the end of this documentary is going to be the redemption story, him coming back to the Jets and having a great season.
And it's like, oh, no, actually, he's ass like, sorry. That's fun. He won me my fantasy week last week, though.
I don't know. I love Aaron Rodgers. I think watching him play football is fantastic.
I know he was a great football player. He was fantastic to watch. He was fantastic to watch. I mean, he's a baby. He sucked this week. He sucked a majority of the year. But he was man with that little wrist flick and just all of a sudden the ball goes 50 yards.
He was so fun to watch. Oh, fantasy. Great. Every league calls it their soup. I'm in the Super Bowl.
No, you're not. You're in your fantasy championship round. Super Bowl. That seems kind of minor.
I don't know. I'm in the semis right now. And then you're in the championship game after that. I'm in five Super Bowls this week.
Fuck you are. I suppose if it's the wouldn't the semis then be the championship game. And then then you would have the Super Bowl because in this universe they would have to do that if they want to be legit with it. I see what you're saying here. So you could win a fantasy championship, but not a Super Bowl.
It's like winning an in-season tournament, which is the most important thing in the league. Hey, I felt so awkward watching that title celebration like it was didn't it seem weird, Jake? It was strange. I'm like, what are we doing right now? Like who are we celebrating for? Well, I couldn't tell if the players were actually happy or if they were like joking about it. Like, yeah, we got this trophy looked like a joke. Yeah. Giannis was like joking with the commissioner when he was saying like MVP and he's going, I was two time MVP.
I don't know. But yeah, the most emotion I've seen from Marshawn Beauchamp in like two and a half seasons was when it was getting down to the nitty gritty. And this is the last NBA paycheck he's ever going to cash.
So he's like, guys, we got to have it. Oh, you see who the herd signed? No. Do you guys remember Jack Golke? In the March Madness, he was that kid from Oakland that had like 16 threes.
This past year? Yeah, he had 10 threes against Kentucky when they beat him. Oh, isn't he like 30 years old and he was playing in college? Isn't that him? Or am I mistaking that for someone else? Oh, Grant's hosting. No, no, it's not him. Bills?
I'm just trying to see who else is out there. Where's Tim? I don't fucking know.
What a turncoat. Tim's going to have to come on here soon. Tim's got Tim's got something to tell you guys. Hell yeah. Let's go. I love Tim.
She buy a new house. It's a 2021 Toyota. Yeah. All right. It is bedtime. You guys are beautiful.
The back of my eyelids even better. I love you guys. This is fantastic. Good to catch up.
I love the Winkler verse. And shout out to Josh for joining. That was, that was cool. Stop by again, buddy. Feels like the first time. Happy Playtime.
Bye. Drinking and driving is a decision that could change your whole world. Things will never be the same if you ever get a DUI because legal fees and time in court are just the beginning. Getting into a crash is another way that your world can be turned upside down. Your vehicle may not be the only thing that gets damaged in that crash. You can face a life altering injury or even death.
But you're not the only one that can face those consequences. Your decision to drink and drive can permanently impact not just your world, but someone else's world as well. Whether you injure them or leave their loved ones grieving, the next time you're out drinking, call a ride share, a taxi, a sober friend or a designated sober driver. The only decision that will change your world for the better is the decision to call for a sober ride. Drive sober or get pulled over. Paid for by NHTSA.
