This week marks the launch of our Bait and Switch movie reviews! We’ve assembled a panel of comedic experts—Matt Kemple and Chris Schmidt—for a ludicrous-speed detour into nostalgia as we revisit Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs. Matt, a self-proclaimed Spaceballs superfan, shares his deep love (and multiple copies) of the film, while the rest of us weigh in on everything from Yogurt’s wisdom to Dark Helmet’s questionable fashion choices. We talk about where Spaceballs ranks among Mel Brooks’ classics, we break down the film’s most amusing elements, including its fourth-wall-breaking gags, and debate whether its slapstick humor still holds up. The verdict: If you grew up quoting this sci-fi spoof, you’re probably still quoting it today. Enjoy this nostalgic blast from the past!

Today we get together to pay tribute to a legend in Milwaukee Brewers and baseball broadcasting history, "Mr. Baseball", Bob Uecker. Unfortunately Bob passed away on January 16, 2025. As the Brewers' team photographer, our guest Scott Paulus spent almost 30 years working with Bob, so we asked him to come in and chat with us about his experiences with Mr. Baseball. Scott shares stories about what it was like to be around Bob every day, along with a particular story that stands out for him. In addition to our tribute, we also talk about Scott's history as the Brewers' official team photographer, what it's like to work with the Brewers' marketing team, and the changes he's seen in the stadium since he started. Enjoy our tribute to a Milwaukee legend.

January's highlight miniep features the Editor from Milwaukee Magazine.

The consolidated tract for January features 2 professional cyclists. One that raced the Tour de France ( Matthew Busche ) and one that raced the Tour Divide (Ryan Simon ).

This week we bring you another episode from the music arts arm of The Bait And Switch Podcast. We've assembled our music review panel of Dave Boll and Shaun Snopek to chat about the album, The Presidents of the United States of America by, well, The Presidents of the United States of America! We talk about the band’s quirky vibe, their upbeat tunes, and how they stood out during the Grunge-dominated '90s. We also dig into the band’s origins, the members, and what made their music so fun and unique. Plus, we touch on the struggles musicians face today when it comes to making a living from their art. All this and much, much more! Enjoy!

It's finally here, can you believe it? Season 8! As always, we open another brand new season of The Bait and Switch Podcast with our good friend, Dave Boll. We also have a new mystery guest voice of our podcast! Let's just say this guy "Trumps" all our other guests! Big thanks to Greg Shapiro for hooking us up with our mystery voice!

In this episode, we tried to start the season with a recap of all the season openers we've had with Dave but as we try to get through our review, we keep running into interruptions. These aren't just any interruption, but very unique and unusual interruptions. It's hard to explain- you kind of had to be there, but this is your chance to BE THERE and listen in for yourself! Welcome back to The Bait and Switch Podcast - it's Season 8! Enjoy!

This week, we’re excited to chat with our good friend and fellow Packers enthusiast, Jeff Grayson! With the Green Bay Packers gearing up for their wildcard showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles, we examine the season so far, and discuss the team’s strengths, weaknesses, and the vibe of this playoff run compared to last year’s.

We also explore the keys to victory, our predictions for the game, and what it will take for the Packers to come out on top.

Enjoy the conversation, and as always—Go Pack Go!

It’s hard to believe, but the Season 7 finale is here! For this special episode, we went back to April 2024 to record a conversation with Mitch Teich, where we made bold predictions about the rest of the year. So, what’s the twist? Now it’s time to see how accurate (or ridiculously off-base) we were!

From the presidential election to global events, sports, and more, we covered it all. Spoiler alert: you probably shouldn’t rely on us for investment advice! Tune in for some laughs, surprises, and reflections as we wrap up an amazing season. Enjoy!
