• 2:15
  Speaker 2: take off at eleven and could be doing the game
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: and watching.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: So you put in a half day to day if
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: that possible.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: What's the strategy for exiting and watching ball because a
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: lot of people make this like immutable, like it is.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I get these two days off, my two vacation days,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Thursday and Friday, the first weekend of the tournament.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Well you gotta take you gotta take pictures. You got
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: to have the special chair and crush the wings, get
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: the yeah yeah chair.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: And now I always had not when we and drew
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: you doing the afternoons on this, it was, uh, this
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: isn't really the one that you want to take off
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: right this these days if you're doing afternoon radio, don't
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: necessarily want to take off a lot of times it
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: means sweet sports bar situation.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, go to champs. But that's what I'm thinking.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: We'll be doing the show, We'll be in the bar,
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: everybody will walk on or maybe we'll get a little
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: pizza in here.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: We'll have some Buffalo Wild wings.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: We'll enjoy it that way then otherwise, man, I just
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: and and I had too many times of it. We
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: get a lot of it with day baseball. I think
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: there's nothing better than really feeling like you're pulling one over.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: On the box. That's it right there.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: I'm with you, Billy there's nothing working ye smarter, not
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: harder and being able to now whether that just means
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: ear button old school like how we used to in
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: the two thousands when you're trying to listen to music
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: during class, sure, and you're weaving that wired headphone because
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: you don't want any of those weird things about the
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: wireless heaphones. You just weave that thing in and you're
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: just kind of like leaning up against your sleeves so
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: no one sees the headphone that's in there, or you just,
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: you know, like all the kids are doing nowadays, just
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: walking around one AirPod in. You're just getting in a
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: Westwood one feed. Yeah, wells through you were talking old
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: school red zone man. Westwood One's doing that on the
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: radio and we're gonna hear Jason Horwitz whipping around all
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: different coverage.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: You can get that in and you're just cruising all
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: day if you're on a work site.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, two thousand and three, as a freshman, mytt I
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: had the ear button because we had we had a
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: history class or you know whatever they called it. I
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: don't know, govern something American government. Right during the Holy
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Cross game, first game of the tournament, second half, and
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm armoring, so I'm just going to class.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: No chance, I'm not missing class. But I had the earbud.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: How many classes did you miss in college? Not many?
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: But I did miss a few, but not many. I
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: just didn't. I just like one of my paying for
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: this class. You know, that's what you think about.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Oh that was my mantra too, never study. But I
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: went to class. I was there.
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: I was.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I probably should have skipped a couple more.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: It would have got some more sleep, but anyway, all right,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: so going going to class, had the ear butt in
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: there was like a third of us in there. It
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: was the Holy Cross second half. I'm listening to the
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: radio obviously by the time, and uh Man forgetting his name,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: so I'm sorry, but he let us go. He said,
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: all right, you guys just go just go home, go
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: watch it because everyone was locked into the Marquette game
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: that year, obviously. So I felt like that was the
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: moment right there that I'm like, you know what, you
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: did the right thing armor, and you were rewarded for it.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: You still showed up. The class professor saw you in class,
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: and he's to let you guys go. So that was
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: pretty awesome. So that was that was a moment right there.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: That's the way you used to do it, though, that's
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: the way you had to do it. But you're right, Billy. Now,
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: I've always been blessed to work in radio where TV's
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: were on, So I never thought about, you know, skipping
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: work that day, because there's really no point in doing it,
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: you know, because you can watch at work, and like
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: you said, it's almost better to be at work for
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: some of these things. And uh so, but you can't
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: do that in every job, you know. I get that,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: you know, a lot of the blue collar jobs you
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: got to be off to be off.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: I totally get that.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: But that my strategy'd be, Yeah, if you can do it,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: like Billy just said, pulling over on the boss, you know,
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: a little slow work, your little environment there, Yeah, make
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: it happen, Just just watch it work.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Eight seven seven seven nine one ninety seven three gets
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: you and Nikolay Lodock, I'm talking to text on Badger's
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: firing up just before one o'clock today from Portland and
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: uh Man inside Baseball. I signed up for a little
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: TV commitment and a taping of a Spectrum Sports round
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: table today. Not particularly the greatest happen. Yeah, right in
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the throes of the back half of the second half,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: we're supposed to be taping.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: I can't.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, not great planning on my part. Oh, but it's
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: gonna be such a good shown. It was such a
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: good program.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: I can't talk about the Badgers because we won't know
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: what happened. I'm gonna be well, luckily, you can talk
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: about that red hot RedHawks game. Yeah, there, we're.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: Excited about the red Hawks in Miami of Ohio, or
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: you know, sadly, you can talk about, uh, the the
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: situation going on with our pro basketball team, and uh,
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: how about as you talk about supporting local journalists. Man,
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: Kudos to Eric Name forgetting the story a good twenty
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: minutes before Shams tried to steal all of the conversation
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: yesterday on the Yanni Sidetakumbo thing that like maybe three
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: months ago, Drew. If this story breaks the day before
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: the NCAA tournament, there's a lot more Bucks and basketball
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: fans in the state of Wisconsin talking about it. Now.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: It's like, oh, yeah, okay, okay, we got so we understand,
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: we know that we're upset.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: We know that Name story said that the Bucks have
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: explored the idea, broach the idea of sitting Janis for
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: the rest of the season, and Janis wants to.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: Play, vehemently denied it or vehemently is against it, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: drew like, this is again, this would have been a
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: great one for hot take hump day. However, I don't
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: know that I'm really hot on either side of the aisle,
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: because I get both sides.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: It'll Actually it makes no sense because if you're going
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: to trade them, you don't want to risk him to injury.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: There's nothing to play for. They're not going to the
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: play in tournament. They're not and it's not in the cards.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: So just suck it up, get the better draft pick,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: lose games without Jannis. And then we said selfishly, if
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: this is Gianni's last go round, we need to kind
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: of like, you know, send them some flowers and watch
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: them celebrate and celebrate and see it because we want
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: to see it.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: We don't want them to go out in street close.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: So it is.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: It's I'm completely neutral about it, but it is a
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: it's a big story. And if that's going to be
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: if there is smoke here and Jannis wants to play
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: and the Bucks don't want them to play and maybe
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: it'll maybe it'll make the divorce more palatable when it happens.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: Well, is this the basketball version of Max Crosby? So
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: now do we just have to see are we gonna
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: have to see Giannis maale a physical somewhere? Like they
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: don't want me playing because I'm I'm kind of dinged
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: up and it's not you, it's me, Or what differing
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: agendas here where Yannis can say I wanted to play,
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: I wanted to give it all again, and I struggle
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: with it from the Bucks side of things, like totally
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: get it that you can add what three ping pong
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: balls if you're the eighth worst team compared to the
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: tenth worst team.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Whatever it ends up.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Already don't have their pick because they don't have control
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: of the pick. So if it's gonna be a good pick.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: It should be a good pick. It'll be one of
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: the better picks that they've had in a long time.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: But like right now, at worst it can be is
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: the eleventh pick or the the twelfth pick, because if
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: somebody jumps you, you immediately go back one slot. We
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: just watched a team that was in the freaking play
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: in tournament playing a guy that they traded for, deciding
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: they were gonna shift their entire philosophy around ship Off.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: One of the most beloved players in franchise history still
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: try to go to the playoffs. They lose because they
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: got drummed in the play in tournament, and they get
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: lucky with the superstar number one overall pick in Dallas, Like,
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: this is a lottery, this is a coin flip situation.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: So I'm not taking every single bit of data into
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: it and being like, well, I got to make sure
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: that we lose this amount of game so we have
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: such a better chance of being able to get this
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: unproven player. The most important thing is if you can
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: develop the guy, and that, to me, Drew from the
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: buck side.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Would be the biggest question.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: They don't have anybody outside of Giannis who are first
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: round picks that they have developed over the last number
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: of years that in their incubator has become a sensational player,
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: right or let alone an eighteen point a game guy, right, Like,
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: I mean, they haven't developed any of those guys, So
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: I'm not all that worried whether it's the seventh pick
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: or the eleventh pick. I'm more worried about how are
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: you gonna make that player better if they're in your building?
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: The buck side of it, I'm looking at it like, man,
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: you've had five injured this year, but five injuries this
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: year both both calves now a knee, we've had an ankle.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: The back's always a question.
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: Maybe we all just agree it's not our year, it's
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: not your year, and we get you healthy for next
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: Like to me, it's not even it's not even a
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: pitch of we want to lose games so we can
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: try to go get aj from Byu or the Peterson
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: cat that's load managing in his freshman year of college.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: But that's not to me the point here. The point
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: is try to make sure you are healthy for the
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: longevity of your career. And this is a gap year,
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: blip on the radar. Next year you can go win MVP. Yeah,
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: don't wear and tear your body.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: And maybe it's not even here, but we don't want
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: you to have to wear and tear down the road. Now,
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: whether or not he believes that they that he has
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: injuries are wearing tear, I guess maybe that's part of
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: the disagreement or the tough thing is do you want
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: to sign you onis long term, and if you do,
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: will this affect how that goes? That's the number one
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: crux of this deal. I can't imagine it would be
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: because any intelligent person would at least see the Bucks
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: interest in this and understand the point and if you
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: wanted to be here, that's fine. But maybe he can
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: look at it competitively and say, I want to know
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: that you care about you're desperate to win, and does
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: this prove that.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: I'm not really sure.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: I would doubt that the decision you make for the
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: last fourteen games is going to affect be the tipping
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: point whether or not he signed the extension.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: But who knows.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: NBA is about to accept its fate for two weeks
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: they go back burner, which is not the worst thing
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: in the world at this juncture. Yea, because there was
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: a tweet last night from none other than Bill Simmons. Yeah,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: one of the biggest NBA fans in the media there
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: is tweeted the scoreboard Oklahoma City sixty, Brooklyn twenty four.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: At halftime he said, let's definitely add two more teams.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: That's what we need. Two more teams. Vegas and Seattle.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: The apparently on a gilded path to getting expansion franchises
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: very soon and adding billions and billions to the coffers
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: of the existing teams.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: That is going to water down things even more.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: You're gonna make the uh what you have now in
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: the NBA is like, yeah, incredible stories. Oklahoma City just
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: a wagon, right, They're be ten in a row. Look
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: at the bottom of the standings. Look where the bucks are.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: The Bucks are on the eleven line. So they're like
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: put their way out of the play in. And it's
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: the same thing in the in the Western Conference, Like
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: the Warriors are struggling without Curry and they lost last night.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: They've lost eight of their last ten, but they're in
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: the play in because they have such a prohibitive lead
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: over Memphis. So they're the ten. They're they're they're locked in.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: And basically Steve Kerrz like, well, we know we're playing
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: in the play in.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna be here. We're we'll figure out if
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: we can win.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you look beyond the play in game and
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: look how teams are playing. And Memphis is, uh, Memphis one.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: They're their most recent game, but they've lost eight of ten.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: New Orleans rising up a little bit just battle last night.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: They want yes. Dallas has lost two in a row.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Utah Bucks play them next. They've four in a row.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: The Sacramento Kings have lost five. Well, they're five and five.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: They're five hundred over their last stretching games. But they're
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: just the folks that are watching Bucks Jazz. But these
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: teams at the back and the teams in the East,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I mean the Wizards and Pacers are the dregs of
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: the East. And the Wizards have lost thirteen in a row,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Pacers have lost fifteen in a row. This has been
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: those little actively the Bucks on down. The Bucks have
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: lost well one in a row, but eight of their
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: last ten. The Bulls have lost one in a row
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: to six of their last ten. And then the Nets
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: have lost five in a row and eight of their
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: last ten. This is just pathetic, these tins the bottom
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: that are not even trying.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: It's pathetic, it's it's awful.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: Well and and Drew, I think there's a there's a
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: couple of ways that you can rectify it for the league,
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: and one of which is taking away a certain amount
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: of the pick protections, right, like the the lack of
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: ability to protect their like Indiana, you mentioned that they've
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: lost fifteen games in a row, so they're like, what
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: the third or fourth worst team record wise in the NBA,
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: Well it in sen they're actually incentivized to make sure
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: that they're in that pocket, not because of the ping
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: pong balls, but because of the trade that they made
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: for Zubots at the deadline. Is a twenty twenty six
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: first round pick to the Clippers, but it's heavily protected.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: If it's one through four, the Pacers keep their pick
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: and they give them like their twenty thirty something pick.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: If it's ten through thirty, the Pacers to keep their pick.
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: But the most likely scenario is it's pick five through
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: nine and then it goes to the Clippers. So like
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: there's a window as to where you can get it,
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: and everybody's like, we're gonna desperately make sure we get
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: this first round pick, doesn't matter how ugly it is,
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: because we just went to the finals a year ago,
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: and like that's the way the league can can shift this.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Get rid of the draft lottery, right right, Like you eliminate.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: The draft lottery and then it is a true rank
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: and file and you're gonna figure out how good you
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: can make yourself and how quickly you can ascend to
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: the top. Because right now it's a system as to
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: you're sitting there for poker reference a chip chair to
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: get the number one pick, and the other part for
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: the Bucks. You mentioned the one team in there that's
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: being a little feisty. They won last night over the Clippers.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: With the Pelicans, Well, the Pelicans are the team that
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: control your draft fate. Right that pick doesn't go to
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: the Pelicans, I want to say it's re routed somewhere
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: to the Hawks. I think so the Hawks will get
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: the better of the Bucks or Pelicans first round picks,
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: But if the Pelicans are trying to win.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: They might pass you.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: And it's gonna end up on June thirteenth, whatever the
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: end up draft lottery day is, then you'll figure out
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: where it slots in. But I'm also looking at Jalen
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: Williams was like the twelfth pick in the draft, Giannis was.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: The fifteenth pick in the draft. To say that you
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: can only.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: Hit it big with the top four picks, I just
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: don't think is the case anymore, And it's more about
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: how you develop that player once they get into your building.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: From the Jianna standpoint, though, I totally get the hesitation
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: to want to sit.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: You are a basketball player.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: It's what brings you joy and happiness in the world,
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: and you haven't been able to do it all year long.
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: But I would wonder if at some point somebody in
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: his inner circle is saying, hey man, it's no longer
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: about you playing games in twenty six, right, Like we
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: need to make this as big of a stink as possible,
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: right if you truly want to get out of here.
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: And Kendrick Perkins was talking about it yesterday, He's like,
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: do I feel bad for your honest Hell no, He's like,
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: he made he made the decision to not be the
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: bad guy at the deadline if he truly wanted that,
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: And now we're going to see if it ends up
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: him being the bad guy this summer or if it
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: just gets weirder and it's gonna be awkward until the
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: season's over.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: So this thing is what if it's as simple as
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Jannest wants to smell the roses and play a couple
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: as many games as he can at Fiser before he that, yeah.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: I want to play the home games.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: You want to say about it, crowd, if you if
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: you would come out and say that there'd be a
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: groundswallow supports so that let him play.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the difference. And then because he won't, you'll
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: never actually get there.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: But Eric, Eric got that from somewhere. Yeah, correct, I
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: got that from somewhere, and it got there from Fanasas
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: or like somewhere somebody in the inner circle. And Giannis
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: talks about how his inner circle is basically Fanasas Coastas
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: and Alex that's like his circle.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it's interesting. It's just the no win situation.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: How about this, do we see to be done or
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: just tell us like, he's going to play one more
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: game so we can all pack the joint and and
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: give him a farewell.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: You have to, you have to take it to just
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: get it the season and to put the decision in
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: front of his face about the extension.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: I think that's the best.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Reminds me of when Jeff Jenkins played his last game
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: at Miller Park, which is the artist formally known as
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Miller Park, and everybody kind of knew he was going
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: to be gone, and I think it was might have
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: been ned Yost at the time. You know, his last game,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: he jogs out for the ninth inning to play defense,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: and Ned's like went and got him, like Billy, call
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: him out, let him jog in and get an ovation.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: And that's what they did.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: They kind of knew and that little tip of the
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: cap was a nice gesture, right, didn't cost anybody anything,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: didn't mean anything to the in the grand scheme.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: That's the thing.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: But selfishly, I want to see Giannis play as many
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: games as I can in a Milwaukee Jersey because we
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: don't know how much more time we got with the guy.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and you got five games, you got five home games, right, like,
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: So if he's gonna play home games and then that's fine,
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: then then have him play home games. And I also
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: don't think Drew, that changes your leverage in the offseason, right,
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: whatever leverage you think or theoretically you have all rests
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: in how uh how aggressively he wants to force his
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: way out and to a certain institution and to a
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: certain team in a different organization, or he just wants
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: to go to a team that can win and you
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: can take it to the highest bidder. But I'm I've
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: wanted to see him play again. I've wanted to be
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: able to see it in person. I totally get why
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: he wants to play, but I don't believe it's the
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: Bucks saying, hey man, we really want to make sure
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: that we can get Peterson from Kansas with the eighth
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: pick instead of the tenth pick. You can look at
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: it very clean and say, brother, you've been hurt all
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: year long. The best thing for you let alone with us.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: Don't even worry about what's best for us. We're worried
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: about what's best for you, and what might be best
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: for you right now is to look at twenty six,
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: twenty seven.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Andrew, like you said, just make.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: Sure make sure you're ready for what you care about
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: the most, brother, Make sure you're ready for euro Basket.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: Make sure you're ready for the summer with play with
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: the Greek team, and then we'll figure out, you know,
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: where you're playing in.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: The games next year.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: We could have had the same conversation two months ago,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: and we kind of did rinse and repeat. It's it's
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: the point where you can definitely tell this summer is
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: going to be uh oh yeah, the summer of thirty four,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: and it does feel like it's the summer of Goodbye,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: thirty summer.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Of shams more hate for Chams.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Did you see everybody's hating, everybody's dumping on Shams because
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: all these writers were camp trying to break the story
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: of the WNBA's negotiations on their CBA, and.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Someone linked it to Shams, and you got the story.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Everybody who was in there slugging it out and fighting
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: for scraps every.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Day they got douched. That's just the way it is
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: when you had That's how it goes.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: But I didn't like even more was the fact that
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: it was clearly a story in news broken by Eric Name.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: Eric Name had the story for Damn near twenty full
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: minutes out, and instead sources to ESPN were those sources
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: Eric Names. The athletics were those sources. The athletic Yeah,
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: that's kind of shady, but we'll never see that.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: You know, no nutriers. Finally the nutrients find us.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: But as curating is dropping compared to Woeses all those years,
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: people are kind of looking back with fond memories, memories
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: of the woe years.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Indeed, thank come on, Sham's a little bit.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Of eight seven seven seven four three. When we come back,

• 21:31
  Speaker 7: Best two days in sports for me, Drew. I, as
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: a sports fan, I would say I'm a football guy first,
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: in basketball probably second, or baseball second.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: But these two days you just can't beat the fund beat.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: It can't beat it. And it's wall to wall. It's
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: twelve hours.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: All over the place. Yep, it's nice.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: It's nice, nice haven to be able to get and
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: also it's just fertile ground to be able to either
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: one play hooky to start having the one buddy that
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: really is like, I'm not a sports guy.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: And then by the end of it is like, so
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: what time are we getting here tomorrow? Yeah? Yeah, what
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: time do we get here tomorrow? Because I guess I'll
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: hang out. I guess I'll go in and watch some
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: of the games.
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: It's almost as much as a social event as a
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: Super Bowl Sunday, is right, if you're getting it's.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Longer and it's two days. Yeah, yeah, I would say so. Yeah,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: that was always that's always our Thanksgiving super Bowl question.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: When do you consume more calories Thanksgiving Day, super Bowl
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Sunday or the first two days of the NCA Good
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: question because there's a hundred calories that pop is that's
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: usually what carries the day for me.
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: Plus you're probably you know, consuming a lot of bar food,
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: you know, first out fish fries and yeah, all that.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Well, and the other thing is too.
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: The tough one is for once I sit on the
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: couch and I want to be able to watch the
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: end of the game, the easiest way to not fall
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: asleep is to continue to stuff your face with popcorn
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: or something right, continually snack. The only way that I
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: stay awake.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: That okay, Yeah, today the Badger is doing lunchtime game,
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: so I I nervous eat.
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: I can't I try to eat before my team is
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: on because I'll nervous eat. I'll just sit there and
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: I'll just pound whatever, yeah, and not even know I'm
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: eating it and not really enjoying. I nervous eat when
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: I watch my teams.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: I usually don't have an appetite, but one of my
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: teams is playing a big game, I just get too nervous. However,
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: if there is a small munch like like crackers or
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: like carrot sticks, yeah, just a bunch away like chew
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: and gum.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Almost, I get that a little bit.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: But usually, like I don't understand these people that can
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: watch like the Packers in the NFC championship game or
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: divisional playoffs and be like, all right, what were we
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: gonna have during the game. I'm like, I'm too nervous
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: to eat right now, Like you guys are wild and
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: me wild, and I.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Mean right eating halftime only.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, al Michael's style over there goes all right, I'll
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: turn around, I'll have my steak no vegetables.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: At halftime, and that's it. That's hilarious.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: All right, So for most of my life, the state
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: of Indiana has been the basketball hotbed. Right now, there's
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: the they're the top of the mountain in college football. Iowa, however,
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: has Iowa State, Iowa and Northern Iowa in the tournament
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: on the men's side, and the Iowahawkeyes women's team is
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: in is Iowa.
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: Now the mecca in Iowa State has the college basketball
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: player of all time rights at the hub of basketball
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: in the heartland.
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: Now, you know, I've never thought of it that way, Drew,
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: but I guess you're right. It kind of has become,
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: especially for women's basketball. And of course Caitlyn Clark started
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: all that a couple of years ago. Actually they've been
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: good for a while. But yeah, Billy, come on, now,
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: she's a machine. And they're not even that high of
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: a seed, are they, Iowa State women.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: I think the nine seeds on every dollar available on
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: her over because you know, she's dropping in thirty.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: To say, though, it's it's saying that I little Iowa
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: look at this one. It's true. It's true.
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: Now many years you've had a couple of teams in
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: Drake Went what they won their the Valley Conference the
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: last three years before this year, but now in Iowa
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: kind of comes out of nowhere. They were the six
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: or seven seed in that Missouri Valley Tournament and they've
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: popped off several wins in a row and they get
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: Saint John's.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Is that do they play? That sounds right.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: I haven't checked the women's bracket. I'll admit that's the men.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: The women's today A j green of course, cheering for
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: Northern Iowa.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's to be ya. Saint John's is playing Northern Iowa. Yes,
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: five to twelve.
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: His coach, Ben Jacobson, has been there about twenty years,
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: had multiple offers to go to Power five schools and
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: coach at a higher level, and stayed at you and
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: I where they've got a great arena, coool campus, isn't it.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: It's a great campus, it really is.
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: It was probably the closest campus to where I grew
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: up out of the major state universities in Iowa, which
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: there are only three, and uh, you know, and they
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: still play in the Uni Dome for football, which is
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: probably twenty thousand people.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Where they have the big garage door that the team
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: runs out.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: It's awesome. Oh yeah, not to be confused with Upper Iowa.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: That's a totally non school.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a different one. Fayette, Iowa.
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: Cedar Falls is a good college town. It's a twin
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: city with Waterloo, which is the bigger city in Iowa.
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: But Theedar Falls where you and I is and lots
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: of lots of great parties there in my past.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: Okay, I need to I need to see some of
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: the Scott Dolphin spots of Iowa. I need to get
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: I need to get to the Dolph's version of Iowa
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: and give it a better Hi Dolphin.
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: Ye, I've been going along. I left basically right right
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: after college. But those three state universities are great party schools.
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: But I know you you have an affectionate place in
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: your heart for Grinnell.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: The Western Iowa stuff.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: So I want I want to see some of the
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: eastern Iowa and better than that.
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well, ioa city should be number one on your
• 26:18
  Speaker 7: bucket list for a Wisconsin ioa football game. Absolutely, yep.
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: And then and then maybe then you can go to
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: Iowa State. If you do, I have to go to aames.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: I don't even know where is.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Why aren't more people locally invested in the cyclone experience
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: given the t J. Ottzelberger is a Milwaukee native who
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: went to Thomas Moore and played it at.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Whitewater Well and J R.
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: Blount, who was our current electric superhero the day yesterday,
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: he's uh the he runs their defense and now he's
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: going to go be the head coach at San Diego.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: But it's pretty awesome. He was a Dominican guy State
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: Player of the Year, you.
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: Know, and I kind of have an affectionate spot for
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: them because, you know, Otselberger was with my guy Mack,
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: my high school teammate mc dermott, and at Iowa State
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: many years ago. When Gregor kermit was the coach at
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: Iowa State, he brought TJ in, who was kind of
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: green at that time. And then he goes to un
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: LV and makes the name for himself and yeah, right
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: out of Thomas Moore High School on Milwaukee South Side.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: And look at their roster.
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: What do they have three Wisconsin guys including the kid
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: from Pelwaukee who's their leading scorer. Yeah, and then and
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: then they've got the Serbian snipers, the West Allis Central
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: kid coming in next year who was one of the
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: best players right.
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: Yes, jam Mitchell and they they've been getting a bunch
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: of different guys throughout the state and they've also been
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: put in the work. I mean, like you see them
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: all the time at those Oshkosh North games trying to
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: grab them.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: And I mean, let's not forget Tyrese is the one
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: that kind of stud me.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: Cory Lucias was there though, Cory Lucis christ Ifferson transfer
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: from Marquette to there.
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: My wife taught in middle school. Was it was a
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: golden Eagle in there.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Then Iowa State Deyontay Garrett I think years ago.
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: Deontay Garrett is another one who my wife who my
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: wife really There are.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: So many that have gone that I always state and
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: been a pipeline for a lot of Wisconsin kids.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: And why isn't it bigger?
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think for probably it is for some
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: I've bet in the western part of the state. There's
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: some fans that follow them strongly. You know, if Guard
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: wasn't from that part of the state too, you probably
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: would have a little bit more. But since Guard is,
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of support for Wisconsin as well.
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: Yes, I was always been a play not so much
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: at University of Viiowa. They haven't had a lot of
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: Wisconsin kids on the basketball. In football, the Hawks have
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: had a lot of Wisconsin kids, and I always state
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: has a decent amount of it, especially Arrowhead kids. Threw
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: mentioned Northern You and I have three kids in their
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: starting lineup from the state of Wisconsin when they begin
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: in including a kid from Tosa East. They have three
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: guys that play a lot on that team. So I
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: don't know why it is. Maybe because no, there's the
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: same amount of Division one schools here.
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: There is the same amount. And in all reality, Dolf,
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: it's it's the work. I mean, like TJ and j Are,
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: they put in the work on the recruiting trail and
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: get these guys over there, and they deserve a lot
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: of credit for that. And it's also I think it's
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: one of those deals where sometimes you want to get
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: a little bit away from the state, but if you
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: don't get if you don't get that offer, I think
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: right away from the state, you might feel a little
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: more jaded.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: And then you get the opportunity. They were there first.
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: They're always working and uh they end up grabbing some
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: really really good players.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah for sure, yeah they do.
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: So I'll be this is the one time of year
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: that I will allow myself to hope Iowa State wins.
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: I think they were in Milwaukee the last two times
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: and they went really.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: Did you?
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: So how far will you put Iowa State in your
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: bracket or will that be like a second weekend?
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, good, and then you're then you guys are done.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: I think I have them going to the Elite Age. Okay,
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: I think yeah, well they had that they win, they
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: win their first round.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: They had that Kentucky Santa Clair winner, which I think
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: is definitely one that Santa Clair could win.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: So I think they'd be facing two low seeds there.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, the Cyclones they're they're they're experienced.
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: I mean, this is nothing new to them, so I
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: wouldn't surprise me to see them go to the final four.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: They're that good.
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: If you saw that game against Arizona in the Big
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: twelve Championship, I mean they had that game until there.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Was one second left. Anyway, Well, that Arizona.
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: That's why I want to see that game again, right, Like,
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: Arizona's too good to not see. I think Arizona is
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: gonna be one of the most fun teams to watch
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: in the tournament. Hopefully that's the out West matchup that
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: the Badgers end up getting that Sweet sixteen again, can you.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Make the case, given we're talking about Iowa State, is
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: what was the best league this year in college I
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: think the Big Twelve.
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: I mean don't I don't know about top to bottom
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: because I don't even know who's in the Big Twelve anymore.
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: To be honest with you, I know there's some Florida
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: schools in there, but I mean look.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: At Houston Seats, Arizona, Houston, Kansas, Texas Tech.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Yes, in Iowa State is was what the state of
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: five Iowa states to five?
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: You see F is pretty good too, and they're in
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: the group, and they are they're they're commissioner. I'm going
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: to butcher his name, so I'm not gonna I'm not
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: even gonna try. The commissioner of the Big Twelve, Drew
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: He had said, we're the second best league behind the NBA.
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: We are the second best league in basketball behind the
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: end to argue that, and it was like you watch
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: them games this year, they were very, very difficult to argue.
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: So you see F's in the league, you've got to
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: and full of Texas School, Cincinnati.
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: He is in that Big Virginia, Cincinnati b YU. There's
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: another one. Drew was a big, tall team. Now all
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: those teams but obviously not good Big League. Well yeah,
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: I would say they're up there with SEC, but I
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: mean it's b Y. It's it's splitting hairs.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: That kid might be the first pick in the draft
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: right from b Y. Yes, well, he wasn't going to be.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: I don't know if he still is, but he was
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: one of the high rise or high ranker.
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: I know he had forty points in one of those
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: conference tournament games last week.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, so Dolph is a guy who's in
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: my age bracket, like where I'm One of my first
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: sports memories was, uh the Bird Magic Final four. Yeah,
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: like I was at the hype of that, right, and
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: that's kind of you know, and then they went and
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: saved the NBA, but they launched March Madness into what
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: it is today.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: That was it in Utah. I want to say the
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: pit was the Jimmy game. Yeah, that was a Jimmy
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: B game.
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: And I remember I was in junior high then. I
• 31:53
  Speaker 7: just remember nobody gave Indiana State any shot of winning
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: that game against Magic and Greg Kelser and yeah, Vincent
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: and those guys, and they hung around for a while
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: and made it a good game.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: But yeah, the final four that year was Michigan State
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: in he had a State to Paul Paul.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Ivy League.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Penn was in the final four there, Penn, Uh, Penn
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: had a who who They had a guy that I
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: think had a cup of coffee in the league.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: But that DePaul team had multiple NBA yeah, Aguire Cummings,
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: all these guys.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Ray Meer really good. But that was the one
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: time they broke through to get there.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: But to me, the stretch of tournament beginning with Jordan's shot,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: or maybe even the Isaiah year the year before that, Isaiah.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: One won it in eighty one eighty.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: One, then Jordan hit the shot in eighty two. Then
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: you had Valvano eighty three, and then eighty four eighty five,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: you had you know, Georgetown Villanova, Yeah, Georgetown Houston and
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Georgetown Villanova.
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: And that one of those years the Big East had
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: three of the four final four teams.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Saint John's Villanova in Germantown. That was eighty five.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: So that to me was like the sweet spot of
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: launching it into the industry that it's become like that.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: The spark was Burden Magic going at it because that
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: kind of put it on. Marquette winning a couple of
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: years before that, but Bird and Magic that made it
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: into the phenomenon that it is.
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: And if you remember Drew in those days, they had
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: on campus games. Yeah, and the tournament was forty eight school.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say, how far big was it?
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: I think it was forty I think in the mid eighties, right,
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: probably because of how successful it became, it became sixty
• 33:25
  Speaker 7: four and like eighty five or eighties.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's when they started to launch it.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that to me was the sweet spot, and
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: that's you know, when you're younger it was.
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: I was like, I remember there was almost then a
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: one sixteen upset was a Princeton and Georgetown I think,
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: so that was like around that era, really close.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: And then when that the duke emergence and like the
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: late Nurse shot like ten years later that run that
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: was already big, but that even kicked it up even more.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Believe it or not, kids do kind of sucked.
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: They had a final four in the late seventies, maybe
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: maybe a national championship game in the late seventies with
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: Mike's Kentucky Minsk. They got shot down by Jack Gibbons
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: given so other than that kind of sucked. And then
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: coach k got there and then the rest is history starting,
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: yeah with.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Them, and they started to win and then the un
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: L V that era so then, but it was already
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: big then and now it's to the point where how
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: much bigger can it be?
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: It's like the Super Bowl, how much bigger? I keep trying.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: They had bad Bunny this year and they got big
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: writings for the halftime show, like how much bigger can
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: it be?
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: The tournaments as big as it can.
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: Be unless you get more games, more teams, more games,
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: more water down. Yeah, So sadly you're going to see
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: a lot less upsets obviously because the nil money's not
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: going to those mid major guys. Those mid major guys
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: are going to Power five schools or whatever it is.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: Well, that's what we think is happening.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: But you know, you never know what college basketball, in sports,
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: it surprises you over time.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: So we'll see what what life has in store for
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: us today.
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: You guys probably mentioned ready, but can can we give
• 34:49

• 35:00
  Speaker 7: that's true, I am sorry for saying what they were
• 35:03

• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Hunter Bombguart joins us after seven with the latest on
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: the Brewers a week away from a week from today,
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: opening day at American Family Field Brewers, White Sox.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Giddy up, it's coming at US fast. It's the huddle.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. About that.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, cockles are warmed, everything's jump started. Now Armin's just
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: getting in his field. So here mixed Master Army.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: You know, I've been pulling the TV calls because it's
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: been harder to find Matt's radio calls than I thought
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: this morning.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: But was that a way Wayne Larvie calling in the
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: Final four?
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: Because I was producing the game here years ago, obviously
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: and obviously locked into the radio broadcast, I totally didn't
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: realize that it sure sounded like him.
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: Then we might we might have to we might have
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: to to talk to Wayne and from this issue. Yeah,
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: but he called the dagger, didn't he? He fired in
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: the dagger, no doubt about it. You're not You're not
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: missing that one for sure. I'm thinking to myself, why
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: don't I remember that? Well, of course I'm listening to.
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: To twenty sixteen Final Four, Yeah, because that would have
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: been when they way ta Kentucky, Kentucky twenty sixteen Final
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: four radio broadcast, Westwood One, Kevin Coogler and John Thompson
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: and Jim Jackson with Doug Doug Gottliebez studio host.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: But this is the TV calling true Okay, all right,
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: hold on, it was untrue. There's no way the Final
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: Four game was on True TV.
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm taking a picture of it, all right. I mean,
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: unless there's something weird about this.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: Is this the international feed you got?
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: It might have been because it was Nance Rand That
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: would have been Jim Nance calling the game on television.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: So what feed did I have? What? What feed? That's
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: what we're asking you, Like, I don't know, I don't
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: know what? What? What illegal stream?
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: The games aired on TBS main broadcast with TNT and
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: True TV offering team stream cover.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, the team stream.
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: So he was on True TV doing a Wisconsin centric broadcast.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: They were doing that, they were doing the local TV feeds.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: I remember that now because man Phil Dawson was doing
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: the sidelines for that one.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: That's right, they had three bro I do remember that.
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: That was the quirk and the thing that back then
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: they had three broadcasts and they were doing a team
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: specific one for each side, so they were like multiple
