2:02
Speaker 5: to rock and roll in and we are. We're rocking
2:06
Speaker 5: and rolling on this Monday where it could always always
2:11
Speaker 5: be the last moment that we hang out with Giannis
2:13
Speaker 5: at Tetacumbo in Milwaukee.
2:14
Speaker 3: But Drew, I thought that was gonna be the headliner.
2:16
Speaker 3: I thought that was going to be the lead.
2:18
Speaker 5: And goodness gracious, these NBA podcasters are mad with John
2:22
Speaker 5: Horse and the Milwaukee Bucks today.
2:23
Speaker 3: Oh, they're throwing everything at the well. Now there's rumors
2:26
Speaker 3: that Oklahoma City and Denver are going to do a
2:28
Speaker 3: trade or something.
2:29
Speaker 5: And there was a story that John Horse was hanging
2:31
Speaker 5: out in Vegas and wouldn't come home. They're making everything
2:34
Speaker 5: up that you could find online.
2:35
Speaker 3: Is anything in everything you could throw at the wall.
2:38
Speaker 3: They're slinging some mud around, and folks are upset. Folks
2:42
Speaker 3: are frustrated that it hasn't happened. Yet.
2:44
Speaker 5: We're in an instant gratification society, and yet maybe the
2:48
Speaker 5: biggest fish to go in the last couple of off
2:50
Speaker 5: seasons still dangling out there, some thirty six hours away
2:53
Speaker 5: from the NBA Draft starting up tomorrow night.
2:55
Speaker 2: First of all, though the billity speak a little Spanish
2:57
Speaker 2: to us there, I think he did.
2:58
Speaker 3: I like it. Appreciate them me armano right? Is that
3:03
Speaker 3: the right way? Hermano? We are I gotta work on that.
3:12
Speaker 3: I appreciate that Spanish for seven years.
3:16
Speaker 5: See I took German, so I didn't really, yeah, I
3:18
Speaker 5: took I took Spanish for seven years uh, and and
3:21
Speaker 5: that one of them. Rmano is one of them, and
3:25
Speaker 5: Petobano in school, that was very that was very important.
3:29
Speaker 3: May I go to the bathroom, Yeah, yeah, that's good.
3:32
Speaker 3: I just take and then I just take the backpack
3:33
Speaker 3: and that was it, and then it's usually the end
3:35
Speaker 3: of my day. Yeah.
3:36
Speaker 2: This the Honest Dealer is interesting though, because you know,
3:38
Speaker 2: you say, they they're mad, it's not over the part
3:41
Speaker 2: of me is like, do they want to be over?
3:42
Speaker 2: Because then they can keep populating with all these content
3:45
Speaker 2: and then the fake accounts and aggregators can just make
3:48
Speaker 2: up whatever they want to get engagement, and no one's
3:50
Speaker 2: gonna you know, fact check anybody. Anyone can come up
3:53
Speaker 2: with anything that's remotely close to what any truth of
3:56
Speaker 2: a rumor might be right now, and then they'd be like,
3:58
Speaker 2: all right, just go with it. Yeah, it's gonna be
4:00
Speaker 2: a four teamer. It's gonna be a three teamer. Someone
4:03
Speaker 2: called this and this. They don't want this to happen,
4:05
Speaker 2: and yeah, you're rightly. Horse is here and he's there,
4:08
Speaker 2: and it's.
4:08
Speaker 3: Like overnight, overnight, Sham's reporting that the Thunder are finalizing
4:12
Speaker 3: a trade to send Aaron Weggins to Atlanta for two
4:15
Speaker 3: second round picks. Okay, there you go. And then is
4:18
Speaker 3: Atlanta another team that's in the mix to be in
4:21
Speaker 3: with the Bucks and the Heat or the Bucks and
4:23
Speaker 3: this out. That's the thing is like you have to look,
4:25
Speaker 3: you have to look at the chessboard three moves away
4:28
Speaker 3: and you figure out what's happening, because, as we've been saying,
4:31
Speaker 3: there is no team prepared to give the Bucks one
4:34
Speaker 3: for one value for you, honest, because they just can't
4:37
Speaker 3: do it. So you've got to have a bank shot.
4:39
Speaker 3: And that's why this is so complicated, and that's why
4:42
Speaker 3: and the fact that John Horse doesn't leak anything to
4:44
Speaker 3: anybody has people frustrated.
4:47
Speaker 5: And has it all for speculation. Like Mark Stein is
4:50
Speaker 5: still very very plugged and formerly a ESPN now he's
4:53
Speaker 5: on substack and does his own thing and podcasts and
4:55
Speaker 5: things like that, and the steinline has been on it,
4:58
Speaker 5: and last night his different perspective on the Boston Milwaukee
5:03
Speaker 5: conversation was he's like, one league source recently told him
5:06
Speaker 5: that Boston might not need a third team and that
5:09
Speaker 5: the Bucks might keep Jalen Brown. If that would be
5:11
Speaker 5: the case, I would advocate for that, But like there's
5:13
Speaker 5: a number of different ways that this could go. Miami
5:17
Speaker 5: is obviously frustrated because they desperately need a star. But
5:21
Speaker 5: what they don't necessarily, what they're not putting into the
5:25
Speaker 5: mathematical equation here, is that Milwaukee would be trading their
5:29
Speaker 5: star and the star right like, while he'll be just
5:33
Speaker 5: another great player that has played for the Miami Heat,
5:37
Speaker 5: Gianness would be the only active player, to my understanding,
5:40
Speaker 5: that would have a mural in a visiting city. That
5:44
Speaker 5: is a different level of love in a spot that
5:47
Speaker 5: I think that there's an exchange rate there, like we well, listen,
5:50
Speaker 5: we're paying a price. We'll get the give, we'll get
5:52
Speaker 5: the good, and then we'll go and then we'll make
5:54
Speaker 5: it better and rightfully, so John Horston Company are operating
5:58
Speaker 5: under the premise of has been Baine went for four
6:01
Speaker 5: first round picks. I understand uh that he had a
6:04
Speaker 5: longer contract. You know you're going to sign him to
6:06
Speaker 5: a longer contract. You know that there's a five year
6:08
Speaker 5: commitment here. So let's operate under this being a four
6:12
Speaker 5: to five year contract. And let's come a little bit
6:14
Speaker 5: more correct. When Mikhale Bridges, who averaged what eight points
6:17
Speaker 5: in the NBA Finals. Yeah, just went for five first
6:20
Speaker 5: round picks. A couple of years ago when you're talking
6:23
Speaker 5: about it, at worst top five player in the league
6:25
Speaker 5: still went hell.
6:26
Speaker 2: And I appreciate that that Horace refuses to be taking
6:28
Speaker 2: advantage of when it seems like everybody else wants him
6:30
Speaker 2: to just say, just do it, just do it.
6:32
Speaker 3: I mean the heat of the main character.
6:34
Speaker 2: Don't you guys know that you're right, Billy, I'm sorry,
6:36
Speaker 2: there's no there's no murals of bam Adebayo around Miami.
6:39
Speaker 3: A very good player. He is a great defensive player.
6:42
Speaker 2: I'd say even you know he's he's never been All
6:45
Speaker 2: NBA Top three or whatever it is. He's been in defensively,
6:48
Speaker 2: but it's like you can't really compare. So yeah, I
6:51
Speaker 2: think he's he's doing he's standing his ground firm as
6:54
Speaker 2: much as he can to say, look, if you're doing
6:57
Speaker 2: this to me, I'm gonna make sure you are you
6:59
Speaker 2: are hurt by it. I'm not just gonna let you
7:00
Speaker 2: become the main character in your own story and think
7:03
Speaker 2: everything revolves around you, Miami Heat and just give you
7:05
Speaker 2: what you want all the time.
7:07
Speaker 3: Yeah. The now, it's circling back like none of the
7:10
Speaker 3: GM's fear pat Riley anymore. He's not the mafia boss.
7:14
Speaker 3: You know you're cowering. Stein reported on Friday that the
7:19
Speaker 3: te Wolves had circled back. Mm hmmm, that makes sense,
7:22
Speaker 3: checked in with the Bucks, and then the Bucks had
7:25
Speaker 3: said that the Bucks the stance was that they were
7:28
Speaker 3: looking for more than they did in February. Yesterday's price
7:31
Speaker 3: is not today's price exactly. So you gotta like that
7:33
Speaker 3: from a negotiating standpoint.
7:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, so, And I wonder, Drew, I just I wonder
7:38
Speaker 5: what else the other teams can can offer. Nobody can
7:41
Speaker 5: offer a player who is a former Finals MVP, and like, hey,
7:45
Speaker 5: I think Jalen Brown has been thought of as what
7:47
Speaker 5: maybe a top twenty five player in the league. This
7:48
Speaker 5: past year he was at worst a top ten guy
7:51
Speaker 5: in the league and carried that and walking into what
7:54
Speaker 5: age twenty seven years and where you'd think would be
7:57
Speaker 5: your prime that that's a heck of a main center
8:00
Speaker 5: for the piece. And last night there was more different
8:03
Speaker 5: speculation of will the Bucks throw Kyle Kuzma in there
8:06
Speaker 5: as a tax in the deal, of Hey, you're you're
8:10
Speaker 5: gonna have to.
8:10
Speaker 3: Take Kuzma with us if we're gonna give you honest
8:13
Speaker 3: like we're we're gonna have to get this up off
8:15
Speaker 3: our hands if that. But in in basketball, since Kuzma
8:19
Speaker 3: is actually somewhat of a not on the floor, maybe
8:22
Speaker 3: off the floor, financially, he.
8:24
Speaker 5: Might end up being a little bit of a leverage
8:25
Speaker 5: play because his fat contract expiring this year. Then you
8:28
Speaker 5: get some cap relief. So there's some fascinating angles to
8:31
Speaker 5: where this is.
8:31
Speaker 3: All gonna pa.
8:32
Speaker 2: We know, do we know?
8:33
Speaker 3: What? No one's talked about Kevin Porter Junior. Doesn't he
8:36
Speaker 3: have like a player option to exercise or something. I
8:38
Speaker 3: think he's got like a small player options. It would
8:42
Speaker 3: be like three and a half million bucks, So he
8:44
Speaker 3: doesn't take that. What's his status? I'm wondering, like what
8:47
Speaker 3: is And no one's talked about him at all. Yeah,
8:50
Speaker 3: it is a five point two million dollar player option
8:53
Speaker 3: for the twenty six to twenty seven season. Does he
8:55
Speaker 3: have that? It's interesting. I don't know. I don't know
8:58
Speaker 3: what happens with that. There's so many layers to this,
9:00
Speaker 3: And I had thought, I had thought, well, if you're
9:03
Speaker 3: gonna trade Giannis, trade Turner, trade everybody, start start over
9:09
Speaker 3: and then go young, and most right now, let's lose
9:12
Speaker 3: fifty five sixty game whatever. That's probably that. I don't
9:16
Speaker 3: know if that's close. I don't know if that's in
9:18
Speaker 3: the cards or not. But then I thought, okay, well,
9:21
Speaker 3: what about Miles Turner? Is he gonna be better? And
9:23
Speaker 3: if Taylor Jenkins is a coach that we think he might,
9:27
Speaker 3: is he gonna be you know, build around Miles Turner
9:30
Speaker 3: and will make him more productive and use his skills
9:32
Speaker 3: that he has, the skill set that he has. Is
9:34
Speaker 3: he gonna design something where Miles Turner is more of
9:37
Speaker 3: the player we saw in Indy. Question But to your point, build,
9:42
Speaker 3: it's hard to be worse, right, right, Like it's it's
9:44
Speaker 3: hard to be worse than than almost a complete non
9:47
Speaker 3: factor for the majority of the season and not playing
9:51
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter. Yeah right, and getting pulled out
9:53
Speaker 3: for Pete Nants.
9:55
Speaker 5: Like, I mean, all due respect to Pete Nants and
9:56
Speaker 5: his family, but I don't think that's where when you
9:58
Speaker 5: sign a two way player, that's you're hoping for. When
10:01
Speaker 5: you waved and stretched a top seventy five guy and
10:03
Speaker 5: one hundred million dollars for five years, you did it
10:06
Speaker 5: so that you'd be able to put the guy on
10:07
Speaker 5: the floor and clutch moments. The other thing is and
10:11
Speaker 5: and this is not going to be discussed because again
10:15
Speaker 5: the fun thing is for Giannis to play on a
10:17
Speaker 5: new team. What only I think people in Milwaukee have
10:21
Speaker 5: given some credence to is the fact that again the
10:25
Speaker 5: Bucks business is always better when Giannis is in Milwaukee,
10:29
Speaker 5: that there can be something too. You get any star
10:34
Speaker 5: in here, let alone one of the top five players
10:36
Speaker 5: in the sport. If Giannis is healthy for sixty five
10:38
Speaker 5: to seventy games. They were a five hundred team without
10:41
Speaker 5: him last year with rather incompetent coaching and seemed like
10:44
Speaker 5: a cash in mantra from the last six to eight weeks.
10:48
Speaker 5: What can you get with a rejuvenated roster and a
10:51
Speaker 5: little bit of a spiced up dealing and some good player,
10:54
Speaker 5: can you at least be competitive in an East that
10:56
Speaker 5: is I don't think up for grabs at the top,
10:59
Speaker 5: but somewhere in the middle. And as tough as it
11:02
Speaker 5: can be to play in NBA purgatory right around in
11:04
Speaker 5: the sixth, seventh and eighth seed into the play in spot,
11:07
Speaker 5: it's better than being out of the playoffs and out
11:10
Speaker 5: of the play in tournament with a month to go.
11:12
Speaker 5: I'm we can only answer how much competing at this
11:17
Speaker 5: point matters to them, at this exact moment matters to them.
11:21
Speaker 5: But I would be fascinated to know how much of
11:26
Speaker 5: we said like keeping the lights on for the bucks
11:28
Speaker 5: last week as the joke. Yeah, that it is a
11:30
Speaker 5: little bit of an understanding that, yeah, we can know
11:34
Speaker 5: we're going to take a sizeable step back. But until
11:37
Speaker 5: Portland is a part of the deal and you're getting
11:39
Speaker 5: your picks back, it doesn't.
11:40
Speaker 3: Really help you all that much to.
11:43
Speaker 5: Be absolute cheeks because you're not reaping the rewards of
11:45
Speaker 5: that at the end of the season.
11:46
Speaker 3: Well, and and.
11:49
Speaker 2: It matters to who to be competitive, right, because it's
11:51
Speaker 2: to me it's like who's the decision maker now at
11:53
Speaker 2: this point?
11:53
Speaker 3: Is it horse? Is it has them? Does it has them?
11:56
Speaker 2: Want to move this along by imposing that kind of
11:58
Speaker 2: deadline by.
12:00
Speaker 5: Acting Governor Wes Edens, who's seemingly been completely we haven't
12:03
Speaker 5: heard of the conversation heard from Wes at all.
12:05
Speaker 2: We've been given us some personals, right, Yeah, he's got
12:09
Speaker 2: his own starticles to worry about, he's got his own
12:12
Speaker 2: draft picked. And then it's like Haslam is the owner
12:15
Speaker 2: who we finally did hear from. He imposed a deadline.
12:17
Speaker 2: The question was what the impact would be. It seemed
12:21
Speaker 2: like he wanted to move this along and move on
12:23
Speaker 2: from the honest situation and start rebuilding. But to your point, Billy,
12:26
Speaker 2: it's not a heck of a way business wise to
12:28
Speaker 2: make it work. Although you know, you look at the
12:30
Speaker 2: long term maybe, but in the short term it would
12:32
Speaker 2: be yeah, less less effective for the business, right because
12:36
Speaker 2: there's gonna be less interest. But when listen, maybe that's
12:39
Speaker 2: always has to be the case when you're trying to rebuild.
12:41
Speaker 2: I don't know, but the reality is for me, I'm
12:45
Speaker 2: still in the back of my mind not expecting it
12:48
Speaker 2: to go that it the way it seems it will go,
12:50
Speaker 2: because it never seems to with Horst, Like there's always
12:52
Speaker 2: seems to be some rabbit out of the hat or
12:54
Speaker 2: some surprise that we don't expect that we haven't heard
12:57
Speaker 2: of at all. So as much as these rumors flying,
13:00
Speaker 2: this website we call X that has like just can
13:03
Speaker 2: put you can put anything against the wall, horses in
13:06
Speaker 2: a bachelor party, this and that, the Vegas thing, all
13:08
Speaker 2: these things that are probably fake and funny. It's in
13:11
Speaker 2: the back of my mind is he's still working on
13:13
Speaker 2: something that maybe we haven't heard about that might change
13:16
Speaker 2: the way we look at this whole deal. And I
13:18
Speaker 2: guess I'm you know, I'm what's his name watching the
13:20
Speaker 2: Titanic go down, but looking for that door to think
13:23
Speaker 2: I can still get that door and float on that door,
13:25
Speaker 2: to think maybe until it's going down with the ship,
13:28
Speaker 2: I'm holding out, Hey, maybe there's something in the works
13:30
Speaker 2: that we just don't know about, some rabbit out of
13:32
Speaker 2: the hat that horse is gonna pull to make us,
13:35
Speaker 2: to totally misdirect all of us and shock all of
13:37
Speaker 2: us because it's something he's done in the past, you know, yeah,
13:41
Speaker 2: a couple of times. I don't know if it will
13:43
Speaker 2: happen again.
13:43
Speaker 3: But you know, I just wonder deadline spur actions and
13:46
Speaker 3: if the draft is actually a deadline, that's the question,
13:49
Speaker 3: is it, Because I mean, we've seen it before, like
13:52
Speaker 3: where guys get announced as a draft pick and they
13:55
Speaker 3: put on a hat and you know, everybody knows they're
13:58
Speaker 3: going to another team somewhere for sure. Else could that
14:02
Speaker 3: be happening. Could the Bucks be telling people who to
14:04
Speaker 3: draft and then we'll, you know, we'll take that guy
14:06
Speaker 3: when you draft him, We'll take that player, And it
14:09
Speaker 3: could very much be the case. I don't know right well,
14:11
Speaker 3: and drew the other one of the reports.
14:13
Speaker 5: I think that's been out there for a while and
14:15
Speaker 5: keeps floating as the uh the Bucks are operating as
14:18
Speaker 5: if they'll have multiple first round picks.
14:20
Speaker 3: Well, in that way you have to do if you
14:22
Speaker 3: know this is somewhat on the table.
14:24
Speaker 5: I don't know that that guarantees that they're going to
14:26
Speaker 5: have multiple picks, but you better have a contingency plan
14:29
Speaker 5: if you acquire one.
14:30
Speaker 3: And then everybody's talking about how great this draft is.
14:32
Speaker 3: Is it beyond the first eight? That's the question, that's
14:36
Speaker 3: always the place, always a question, and then something can
14:38
Speaker 3: see and then but then again like and then I
14:42
Speaker 3: was thinking about this the other day too, because we
14:43
Speaker 3: kind of like pooh pooh the idea of Tyler Hero
14:45
Speaker 3: because he makes a lot of money and Doc Rivers
14:47
Speaker 3: called him a closer. And then I thought to myself,
14:50
Speaker 3: are any of those guys in the top eight or
14:52
Speaker 3: ten gonna be? I mean, how long until they're as
14:56
Speaker 3: good as Tyler Hero? And when will they be as well?
14:58
Speaker 3: They will they be his? It is Tyler Herrow and
15:01
Speaker 3: productive as he's been and as bankable as he is. Right,
15:04
Speaker 3: so it's like, hmm okay, factor that in because everything
15:08
Speaker 3: draft picks are again, prospect comes from the Latin for
15:11
Speaker 3: hasn't done bleep yet. Yes, so you don't know, like
15:14
Speaker 3: some guys look can't miss, sure, but some guys who
15:17
Speaker 3: looked can't miss in the past, were you know, number
15:20
Speaker 3: one overall picks Kwame Brown. Well, but it's you get
15:25
Speaker 3: excited about the draft picks because they're new, but they're
15:27
Speaker 3: not always good.
15:29
Speaker 5: And even one of the best drafts that we talked
15:31
Speaker 5: about for two decades now is like the best draft
15:34
Speaker 5: ever in two thousand and three.
15:35
Speaker 3: You're there are like four really good players out of that.
15:37
Speaker 5: They're all gone after five, right like Lebron was gone obviously,
15:41
Speaker 5: Carmelo Bosch and Wade go five. Sure, you're sitting here
15:44
Speaker 5: at eight being like, we're gonna get a great player
15:46
Speaker 5: two thousand and three draft.
15:47
Speaker 3: Everybody can't stop talking about how amazing it is.
15:49
Speaker 5: Somebody's gonna draft a Darko Milicit and somebody's gonna draft
15:52
Speaker 5: the TJ Ford right like at some point, but Joe
15:55
Speaker 5: Alexander is gonna pop up in the draft. You just
15:57
Speaker 5: gotta pray that you're not the one that puts to
16:00
Speaker 5: put a hat on.
16:00
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty one Killian Hayes, seventh pick overall, Oh there
16:04
Speaker 3: we go, twenty Obi Toppin twenty nineteen six pick to Minnesota.
16:10
Speaker 3: Jarrett Culver and Obi Toppins been on like six teams.
16:13
Speaker 1: I like it.
16:14
Speaker 3: How A how about the number one pick, Markel Foltz.
16:18
Speaker 2: There's such a hope that's wrapped up with the potential
16:21
Speaker 2: of a pick that intoxicates us all for good reason
16:24
Speaker 2: because it could become something great, but it could also
16:26
Speaker 2: be Alfred Peyton, like it's.
16:28
Speaker 3: A top ten pick.
16:29
Speaker 2: Like you're right, there's names like that everywhere in the
16:31
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen draft that everyone thought would be the generational draft.
16:37
Speaker 3: It wasn't.
16:37
Speaker 2: Didn't turn out to be totally awful, but it was
16:40
Speaker 2: not what people thought. It wasn't Wiggins and Parker like
16:43
Speaker 2: Embiid was obviously really good. Then he had Julius Randall.
16:45
Speaker 3: Down there and like that.
16:47
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's some all NBA guys and small stars, but
16:49
Speaker 5: it's not necessarily right at the top.
16:51
Speaker 3: Right. That also doesn't mean it.
16:52
Speaker 2: You can't just because it doesn't go as expected. SJA
16:55
Speaker 2: was what Ninth Billy like it. Also, you don't know
16:58
Speaker 2: where the great players will be, but there usually is
17:00
Speaker 2: a few in every draft. However, it doesn't necessarily mean
17:04
Speaker 2: they're always at the top or there's somewhere in the
17:06
Speaker 2: middle of the first round.
17:07
Speaker 3: You're honest. Was obviously you know in the middle.
17:09
Speaker 2: You just don't know where it's going to be sometimes,
17:11
Speaker 2: and every GM's job is to try and project that
17:13
Speaker 2: future and figure it out, which is obviously the toughest
17:15
Speaker 2: thing to do in all of sports is project the humanity.
17:18
Speaker 3: You can't.
17:19
Speaker 2: But the more picks you have and the closer they
17:21
Speaker 2: are to the top, it's a numbers game and chance
17:24
Speaker 2: to end up having that, Yes, but you just don't
17:26
Speaker 2: know how good a draft's going to be. You might
17:27
Speaker 2: think it is, and you might project it to be,
17:29
Speaker 2: but we don't decide that for like ten years either.
17:31
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean, listen, there's a world and we
17:34
Speaker 5: all live in it. The one where Stanley Johnson went
17:36
Speaker 5: before Devin Booker, Right.
17:38
Speaker 2: I remember thinking he was going to be good because
17:39
Speaker 2: he was an Arizona. Is he Arizona?
17:41
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's just the world we live in, where you
17:44
Speaker 5: are going to be in a difficult spot drafting in
17:47
Speaker 5: this in this pick in these lotteries, and however they
17:50
Speaker 5: manipulate the rule, however they change it up over the
17:52
Speaker 5: next couple of years. I think also adds what kind
17:56
Speaker 5: of value or maybe subtracts drew some of the value
17:58
Speaker 5: of what these picks are that you're getting back wherever
18:01
Speaker 5: it is. You also got to develop the player. There
18:03
Speaker 5: has been a lot of discourse now nationally of well,
18:06
Speaker 5: the Pucks have just been awful drafting players. They've been
18:09
Speaker 5: maybe bad drafting players, they haven't been good at developing
18:11
Speaker 5: the players that they've drafted, right like that that I
18:14
Speaker 5: think they kind of go they're one and the same,
18:17
Speaker 5: but they go together. And if you're going to get
18:19
Speaker 5: a player that is going to turn into a superstar
18:23
Speaker 5: in the league, you got to have the support system
18:25
Speaker 5: around them to fully help that. And that's one thing
18:28
Speaker 5: over the last ten years they've been so win now
18:30
Speaker 5: dominated that I don't know if that's here, No, maybe
18:33
Speaker 5: it is more with Taylor Jenkins squad. We saw that
18:35
Speaker 5: with his coaching staff in Memphis of being able to
18:38
Speaker 5: get the most out of guys that you didn't necessarily anticipate.
18:41
Speaker 5: We're going to be top flight players has been being
18:43
Speaker 5: one of them who we mentioned before, But that's a
18:45
Speaker 5: tough thing to be able to predict.
18:47
Speaker 3: What's the history of superstars or even all stars being
18:50
Speaker 3: traded to Milwaukee when they didn't like the city, you know,
18:54
Speaker 3: and didn't want to come. That's not Gary Payton, not great,
18:58
Speaker 3: but others that's the worst one. And that's the name
19:01
Speaker 3: name also won a very good one, Dame great Well,
19:03
Speaker 3: Dame didn't work out. He was saying he put up
19:05
Speaker 3: with it because he wanted to be honest, because he
19:07
Speaker 3: wanted to play with Yeah, I think he also he
19:08
Speaker 3: put up with it because he's a good dude, but
19:09
Speaker 3: he definitely didn't want to be here absolutely was it more?
19:12
Speaker 3: Was that more of just missing missing.
19:14
Speaker 2: Home or not?
19:15
Speaker 3: Like the Jalen Brown conundrum in some some ways. But
19:20
Speaker 3: then the under the underbelly of this too is like, Okay,
19:24
Speaker 3: so Gianni's camp is and he doesn't like that word,
19:27
Speaker 3: but his agents were feeding charms and these guys right
19:30
Speaker 3: throughout are they telling people now that you know, don't
19:34
Speaker 3: even bother. He won't sign with you guys, he won't
19:36
Speaker 3: sign an extension with you guys, Like is he telling
19:38
Speaker 3: people that he'll only sign with Miami, and is that
19:40
Speaker 3: depressed the value? And then it's the funny thing, is.
19:43
Speaker 2: I think he could really kill the Bucks negotiating value
19:46
Speaker 2: by saying that, but he won't do stuff.
19:48
Speaker 3: Like he definitely hasn't. And then and that's funny publicly
19:52
Speaker 3: publicly fair. Okay, that's fair. I just but if there's
19:55
Speaker 3: a consens and all it takes is just the whispers
19:57
Speaker 3: to get stuff, you know, to start a fire, and
20:00
Speaker 3: it's like, oh ye, honest, won't sign with anybody's doing.
20:01
Speaker 3: He wants to play in Miami, he wants the no taxes,
20:04
Speaker 3: he wants the beach, he wants. Yeah, it reminds him
20:06
Speaker 3: of Greece, whatever it is. And that's what surprises me.
20:09
Speaker 3: True too, Drew, because you're you're spot on with it
20:12
Speaker 3: from before man John Horses operated silently on just about
20:15
Speaker 3: every big deal that think. Ok, yeah, that's the thing.
20:18
Speaker 5: So if there would be some leaks of that, it
20:20
Speaker 5: would be coming from other camps. That also signals to
20:24
Speaker 5: me how valuable Yiannis is in NBA circles. Yes, we
20:28
Speaker 5: will do whatever you gotta do and whatever we need
20:31
Speaker 5: to do in the quiet nature and not in the
20:36
Speaker 5: unsuspecting ways so that we can try to get this
20:39
Speaker 5: deal done because we understand how different our title chances
20:42
Speaker 5: are when thirty four has got our jersey on than yours.
20:44
Speaker 2: And yeah, and they'll show it in that way, even
20:46
Speaker 2: though they might try and tell you, well, we don't
20:48
Speaker 2: know about his value and his injury, they show it
20:51
Speaker 2: in that way by those actions. Billy, That's a great
20:53
Speaker 2: point because it seems like for so long now everyone's
20:56
Speaker 2: trying to find a ways to depress Jannis's value by
20:59
Speaker 2: saying he might outside or he might be injury prone.
21:01
Speaker 2: Like yeah, well, if he does play and he is healthy,
21:04
Speaker 2: which we think he could be, he's still top five
21:07
Speaker 2: in the league, and he's shown that, I think in
21:09
Speaker 2: the way he plays, especially when he's motivated. So a
21:12
Speaker 2: lot of facts, at least, I don't believe that the
21:14
Speaker 2: best info is coming from heat Mew's account.
21:17
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I'm gonna go I'm gonna go out on
21:19
Speaker 3: the limb with you.
21:20
Speaker 2: On that one, it says he misses Bachelor party can
21:22
Speaker 2: connection and he's still in Vegas and that John Horse, Baby,
21:26
Speaker 2: come on, you guys don't think John Horse is on
21:28
Speaker 2: that Southwest early morning flight or late night flight out
21:31
Speaker 2: back from Vegas.
21:31
Speaker 3: Like he's going to Vegas. He's on a non stop.
21:34
Speaker 3: My man's not connecting at DFW.
21:36
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, it's hard to get connections these days.
21:38
Speaker 3: Spirits again. I don't think he's gonna might. I don't
21:41
Speaker 3: think he's going American.
21:42
Speaker 5: I think he's sitting first class on Southwest if he's
21:44
Speaker 5: flying back from Vegas.
21:46
Speaker 2: I think he's flat on tail signs so he can't
21:47
Speaker 2: track Billy. There you go, NBA G I'm just making
21:51
Speaker 2: that kind of money. Actually, probably not, but maybe this
21:53
Speaker 2: is the time to invest in like it. You can
21:56
Speaker 2: lease one, you can lease one, and maybe this is
21:58
Speaker 2: the time to do it, like just for what a
22:01
Speaker 2: special occasion here and there?
22:02
Speaker 3: And this dude, Freddy, you guys following this, uh, this
22:04
Speaker 3: German guy online who's here for the World Cup. He's
22:07
Speaker 3: been great.
22:07
Speaker 5: Yeah, my man had private jet companies offering to take
22:10
Speaker 5: him from Dallas to Toronto because he was gonna miss
22:13
Speaker 5: the game, because they're wild connection.
22:16
Speaker 2: No ordinary tourist has had a bigger come up in
22:19
Speaker 2: one week than Freddy.
22:20
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk. We're gonna talk more about the whole
22:22
Speaker 3: World Cup. The visitors. Some of the tiktoks and the
22:25
Speaker 3: stuff that they're posting is awesome. They're wild.
22:28
Speaker 2: They're trying to ship ranch dressing back to Europe and
22:30
Speaker 2: there I'm like, yeah, it's like you about this, did
22:33
Speaker 2: you see it?
22:34
Speaker 3: We gotta play. We have to play the Texas Roadhouse one.
22:37
Speaker 3: That's the best one. The Australian guys that went to
22:40
Speaker 3: Texas Road I'm excited. I haven't seen this spectacle. The
22:42
Speaker 3: Japanese guy at the Texas Barbecue Joint is one of
22:45
Speaker 3: my favorite ones of all time, A big old beef rip.
22:48
Speaker 2: We'll get to it, but I gotta say. The one
22:50
Speaker 2: thing I keep thinking about. I kept remembering when I
22:53
Speaker 2: hear all these guys loving all these things and all
22:55
Speaker 2: the all the tourists loving everything, was those six dudes
22:58
Speaker 2: from the UK I'm at in Vegas that were going
23:00
Speaker 2: crazy about Denny's that remember we were talking about.
23:02
Speaker 3: Denny's in the stake.
23:03
Speaker 2: They were so excited about Denny's, going to Denny's every morning.
23:06
Speaker 3: They were just so happy. Should have introduce him to
23:08
Speaker 3: the pepper Mill all right place, All right, we are
23:12
Speaker 3: off and running. It's the five o'clock club. It's always
23:15
Speaker 3: loose to hour. We got game balls and kicks firing
23:17
Speaker 3: up at six am. We will talk to our pal
23:20
Speaker 3: Hunter Bombguard today at seven thirty. Brewers avoiding a sweep,
23:23
Speaker 3: getting that blowout win over the Braves. Nice, put your
23:25
Speaker 3: feet up, victory a little bit. Eight runs in the
23:28
Speaker 3: second inning, snap in a three game losing streak. It's like, Okay,
23:32
Speaker 3: they won one, and if you're gonna win one game
23:34
Speaker 3: in a series, it's nice to win the last one.
23:35
Speaker 3: Give you a little momentum going into Cincinnati to night.
23:37
Speaker 3: But the Brewers could have swept that series. We'll talk
23:40
Speaker 3: about that as we move forward. You are in the
23:41
Speaker 3: huddle Fox Sports Radio, Wiscon Drew billing Arman bringing it
23:49
Speaker 3: to you from the huddle, Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin. Is
23:53
Speaker 3: it the end of the Yannis era? We just don't know.
23:56
Speaker 3: We're just waiting.
23:59
Speaker 5: This is a whole lot, a whole lot of spring
24:01
Speaker 5: training vibes, Drew, your older reporter times, a lot of
24:04
Speaker 5: hurrying up and wait, hurrying.
24:05
Speaker 3: Up and waiting, but just staying and waiting, trying to
24:08
Speaker 3: figure it out.
24:08
Speaker 5: Hands in the pockets, looking around at different NBA mock drafts,
24:11
Speaker 5: trying to figure out what a native men ends up
24:13
Speaker 5: being just trying to like you just you have no
24:16
Speaker 5: clue out of any of these cats. And the only
24:19
Speaker 5: thing that I do know is the more conversation that
24:23
Speaker 5: keeps happening, and the longer this goes a little bit
24:27
Speaker 5: of Motel six vibes, I guess I'm I guess I'm
24:29
Speaker 5: starting to understand where it could possibly be. I'm starting
24:31
Speaker 5: to see a little bit of the forest through the trees.
24:33
Speaker 5: Maybe they are just waiting to say, big fellow, don't
24:37
Speaker 5: you absolutely actually say no? With the name on the
24:41
Speaker 5: dotted line here to four years and two hundred.
24:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, ye million dollars, we're trying to give you almost
24:45
Speaker 3: sixty nine million dollars a year.
24:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's nice payday. And he wouldn't want to turn
24:52
Speaker 2: that down. And you know the you do think that
24:54
Speaker 2: that might be an option as time goes on, ifvc's
24:58
Speaker 2: his situation and these ss the situation the bucks present
25:01
Speaker 2: and say see, look, this is what a trade would
25:02
Speaker 2: look like. This is what that next world would look like. Here,
25:05
Speaker 2: you're honest, you know, this is what that gosh, what's
25:07
Speaker 2: the lion king term? Do you remember that other world
25:09
Speaker 2: that people didn't want to be in I can't remember
25:11
Speaker 2: it now, whatever.
25:13
Speaker 3: That's that's what that would look like. Definitely. What it
25:17
Speaker 3: sounds like Arman's saying is there were a lot of
25:19
Speaker 3: worries in this place, but for the rest of their days. Yes.
25:21
Speaker 2: But the thing is, the more these rumors persist, the
25:25
Speaker 2: more it's harder to believe that that isn't that a trade?
25:28
Speaker 3: Isn't the outcome in the next, you know, a few days. However,
25:31
Speaker 3: then you ask.
25:32
Speaker 2: Yourself, well, these rumors just come from different accounts that
25:35
Speaker 2: reaggregate other rumors and do these things. You know, So
25:38
Speaker 2: if the if the trade winds are swirling, if the
25:40
Speaker 2: rumors are swirling, if the walls seem to be closing.
25:42
Speaker 3: In, is that real or is that like, is that reality?
25:45
Speaker 3: Or is it just not reality? You know what I mean?
25:47
Speaker 3: How how how real is anything here? So it's you're
25:51
Speaker 3: talking amulation over that, That's the thing I mean. And
25:54
Speaker 3: then you know, yes, it's a lot just the back
26:00
Speaker 3: of my mind.
26:01
Speaker 2: It keeps thinking like, oh, we keep getting surprised by horse.
26:04
Speaker 2: Every time we think something's gonna happen, it shocks us.
26:06
Speaker 2: So then you get you wake up with that bomb
26:09
Speaker 2: of oh Sean Sham's announces the trade, and it's like
26:12
Speaker 2: the whole yeah announcement of five o'clock at the Albund.
26:15
Speaker 5: I see Scham's ridiculous face pop up on my phone
26:18
Speaker 5: with the ESPN alert Drew, and my heart does think
26:21
Speaker 5: sink a quick wit, Yeah you think, okay.
26:23
Speaker 3: This is it. Now it's happening, all right? I tested positive?
26:25
Speaker 5: Like this is it?
26:26
Speaker 3: Like what?
26:27
Speaker 2: Well, you know what I mean, Like, you know, for
26:29
Speaker 2: all the you might like during the COVID years, you're
26:31
Speaker 2: worried and meant, oh, this is the time I'm testing positive.
26:34
Speaker 2: This is the time I got the disease. This is
26:35
Speaker 2: the time she's you know, tested positive for that. Okay,
26:39
Speaker 2: well I'm just making trying to make some sort of
26:42
Speaker 2: metaphor here finally, but yes, you're like, okay, this is
26:45
Speaker 2: the time Horse is about to announce it.
26:47
Speaker 3: He's supposed to. He's about to actually change my life
26:51
Speaker 3: as a Bucks fan.
26:52
Speaker 2: Like, you know, all the worry, all the all the despair,
26:56
Speaker 2: all the consternating over all these years a decade plus,
27:00
Speaker 2: you know, it's been it's been thirteen years since he's
27:03
Speaker 2: been able, Like, is this the time the air is
27:05
Speaker 2: actually gonna end? You know, is this the doubtful qu empire?
27:08
Speaker 2: This moment it's to.
27:09
Speaker 3: The point again, it is to the point you talk
27:12
Speaker 3: about hurry up and wait where almost everybody I talked
27:14
Speaker 3: to You talked a few people over the weekend, and
27:16
Speaker 3: from hardcore hoop heads to just casuals, everybody just wants
27:20
Speaker 3: a resolution one way or the other. We're prepared for either.
27:24
Speaker 3: And it's like it's almost like if they keep you honest,
27:26
Speaker 3: like oh great, okay, now how many games are we
27:28
Speaker 3: gonna win? And like they'll you know, then the rejoicing
27:31
Speaker 3: won't be the same as it might have been because
27:34
Speaker 3: of the way this is dragged out. Oh I think
27:36
Speaker 3: I'm with you on that. Yeah, And is Janice's if
27:39
Speaker 3: Yanna stays and the Bucks are you know, playing team
27:43
Speaker 3: or something? Is the is the luster gone? Is this?
27:47
Speaker 3: Has this reduced our love of be honest? The fatigue
27:51
Speaker 3: of this situation? Has it reduced the will there be joy?
27:55
Speaker 3: If you're honest? Is that if the bucksay out, we're
27:58
Speaker 3: running it back or oh we've got we added this piece,
28:01
Speaker 3: or we even will there be joy? I think there
28:03
Speaker 3: would be joy. It would be a relief that the
28:05
Speaker 3: story's over see in that one. I don't know, but relief.
28:11
Speaker 3: I think relief might overweigh joy. Yeah, I think, God,
28:14
Speaker 3: we don't have to hear about this any will You won't.
28:15
Speaker 3: He's gonna be here for at least half the season.
28:17
Speaker 3: But if then again, if he comes back the whole,
28:21
Speaker 3: it's because it's never gonna end, right, Well, they can
28:25
Speaker 3: who they gonna what can they get at the deadline
28:27
Speaker 3: for your honest.
28:27
Speaker 5: Or you know, yeah, well he's gonna start pushing out
28:30
Speaker 5: now he's gonna sign the extension, and when when's the
28:32
Speaker 5: first moment that you can have.
28:34
Speaker 3: We crossed the rubicon where there won't be joy if
28:37
Speaker 3: he stays anymore, because then people say, well, they probably
28:39
Speaker 3: won't win anyway.
28:40
Speaker 5: And it's like, I think there's some there's some worth it.
28:42
Speaker 5: I think there's some frosty build up, Drew right, Like,
28:45
Speaker 5: I think I think it's gonna I think there's gonna
28:46
Speaker 5: be something that it'll be a little bit that the
28:49
Speaker 5: shine won't necessarily be as bright as it once was.
28:52
Speaker 5: The other part that I'm wondering because what you just
28:55
Speaker 5: explained to me sounds a lot like the twenty twenty
28:57
Speaker 5: two packers right where there was so much talk about
29:00
Speaker 5: Rogers being traded off and then all right, well clearly
29:05
Speaker 5: that he wasn't gonna want to play with Romeo Dobson
29:07
Speaker 5: Christian Watson. There was gonna be some kind of upset
29:10
Speaker 5: nature because Robert Tunyan's not here, and are they gonna
29:13
Speaker 5: sign Big Dog back to keep Rogers happy? And well
29:16
Speaker 5: now they're gonna go with more young guys here as well.
29:18
Speaker 5: And there was always some thought of, yeah, we're watching
29:23
Speaker 5: Rogers and it's fun to watch Rogers, and maybe we
29:25
Speaker 5: can win these last couple of games to be able
29:27
Speaker 5: to sneak into the playoffs.
29:29
Speaker 3: Own sweet. We got a one game winner, take all
29:31
Speaker 3: to get to a playoff spot against the against the Lions.
29:34
Speaker 5: In week eighteen, But there was never that real feeling
29:37
Speaker 5: like you were competing. And I wonder if that's where
29:40
Speaker 5: most Bucks fans would be Giannis comes back, they'll be
29:44
Speaker 5: more competitive on a night in a night out basis,
29:46
Speaker 5: and when you go to the arena, it'll be a
29:47
Speaker 5: lot more fun than again, all due respect, watching Ryan
29:50
Speaker 5: Rollins and Nuzman Dang going going at it like Jianggang,
29:54
Speaker 5: I think will be a little bit struggling throughout to
29:58
Speaker 5: know that this is not going to be as fun.
30:00
Speaker 5: But if you're winning forty one games and being somewhat
30:04
Speaker 5: in the mix and a night on night out basis,
30:06
Speaker 5: you might win the game, you might not. I think
30:08
Speaker 5: there's I think there will be some people that say, well,
30:12
Speaker 5: is this really where we want to be? They could
30:14
Speaker 5: have just traded him and gotten a boatload of picks
30:15
Speaker 5: and then the return will be like the Russell Wilson return. Yeah,
30:19
Speaker 5: well if we would have gotten that in three years,
30:22
Speaker 5: we'll be saying, well, then we could have been title contender.
30:24
Speaker 2: There is always going to be I think that type
30:26
Speaker 2: of conversationation whether he goes or not, between people, between
30:30
Speaker 2: Bucks fans, maybe forever, like constantly. I mean, we still
30:33
Speaker 2: have it about that ray Allen trade, about like was
30:36
Speaker 2: this trade good or was it not? And who wants
30:38
Speaker 2: Because I definitely feel the answer to your question, Drew,
30:41
Speaker 2: I definitely feel there's a large contingent of Bucks fans
30:44
Speaker 2: at least it's felt that way anecdotally. Ben are definitely
30:47
Speaker 2: like soured on him and wanted to go. Definitely, I
30:50
Speaker 2: see so much rhetoric now about he was the devil.
30:53
Speaker 2: We never thought he was. He was always a fake.
30:55
Speaker 2: But then again then I then I assume that that's
30:58
Speaker 2: the most of the fan base, and then I and
31:00
Speaker 2: then but then if you ever see a poll, it'll
31:01
Speaker 2: be like sixty five seventy percent wanted to stay. So
31:03
Speaker 2: it's like, is that just a loud minority? Does every
31:06
Speaker 2: day casual Bucks fan who you don't hear of on
31:08
Speaker 2: the internet really want him to stay in that sense
31:10
Speaker 2: and don't feel that way about Giannis and don't have
31:12
Speaker 2: a sour opinion on him. But but but that's always
31:16
Speaker 2: going to be a matter of opinion from an individual
31:18
Speaker 2: Bucks fan. The reality is, and you borrow up, Billy,
31:20
Speaker 2: I don't think kids are gonna be crying waiting to
31:23
Speaker 2: get shoes from Jericho Sims saying this is the dream
31:25
Speaker 2: of my life is to watch one game of Uzman
31:28
Speaker 2: Jang and Jericho Sims and all these things. It's just
31:30
Speaker 2: not the same, right is when you have a star
31:33
Speaker 2: that you want to see, it's just not the same.
31:35
Speaker 3: Five o'clock clubbers set us up? Eight seven, seven seven.
31:39
Speaker 3: How's everybody's Father's Day? How was it?
31:41
Speaker 2: It was?
31:42
Speaker 5: It was good relaxing, Chase the boys around a little bit,
31:45
Speaker 5: played a little bit of baseball, just loaded up on
31:47
Speaker 5: some you know, Burger's brats, giddap, dude, it was a
31:51
Speaker 5: good one.
31:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, armor excellent. I mean you really can't.
31:54
Speaker 2: You know, you're with your you're with your own child,
31:56
Speaker 2: and then you see your own dad, and there's really
31:58
Speaker 2: nothing else you could really ask for. Is that is
32:01
Speaker 2: to be around your loved ones and to enjoy enjoy
32:04
Speaker 2: a nice day with everybody, and to be able to
32:06
Speaker 2: see everybody. Not everyone out there is lucky enough to
32:10
Speaker 2: be able to be around their own father and to
32:12
Speaker 2: still have them with us.
32:13
Speaker 3: And and everyone's in a different situation, you know. I
32:16
Speaker 3: I think about that.
32:17
Speaker 2: In a day like yesterday, it's a happy day, but
32:19
Speaker 2: it's not a happy day for everybody, and it's.
32:21
Speaker 3: A painful day for some.
32:22
Speaker 2: So you know, in reality, you know, I was thankful
32:24
Speaker 2: to spend a day like yesterday, even though it was
32:27
Speaker 2: raining a little bit, you know.
32:28
Speaker 3: Can't damper my parade.
32:29
Speaker 2: Although I did want to go to the zoo and
32:31
Speaker 2: I didn't do it because I think fathers are free
32:33
Speaker 2: at the zoo.
32:34
Speaker 3: On fire. It was, it was, but it was just
32:40
Speaker 3: the weather. You know. I'm telling you you gotta go
32:43
Speaker 3: zoo pass. I think that's I think that's what you
32:46
Speaker 3: gotta go zoo pass. You use it like four times
32:47
Speaker 3: and it's free. That's you just got to use it.
32:50
Speaker 3: Use it that way. So yesterday I had a very
32:53
Speaker 3: peaceful I had an unexpected viking weekend because my wife.
32:57
Speaker 3: My wife took the dog to the lake with her
33:00
Speaker 3: girlfriend and her dog, so it was a the ladies
33:02
Speaker 3: went up north. Here we go, and so I had
33:04
Speaker 3: an unexpected biking weekend. But gift, my sprout did stay
33:08
Speaker 3: over with a friend of hers because they hit summerfest
33:10
Speaker 3: on nice and they said stayed over. So I was
33:13
Speaker 3: able to see my sprout in the morning, fired up
33:14
Speaker 3: some breakfast for that It's perfect, perfect day, and then
33:17
Speaker 3: went out and visited my pops. So I had a
33:19
Speaker 3: pretty quiet day of you know, reflection, just a day
33:22
Speaker 3: of Its reminded me of when I was a bachelor,
33:23
Speaker 3: so it was the best of all worlds. Got experienced
33:26
Speaker 3: Father's Day, but also got to experience the fortress of solitude.
33:29
Speaker 3: So it was a quiet and I liked it. Like
33:33
Speaker 3: I was going to say, Drew, you got what you got.
33:35
Speaker 5: What we always know is in the back of all
33:37
Speaker 5: the mom's heads on Mother's Day, they actually just want
33:39
Speaker 5: two hours where.
33:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, you get out of the house so I can
33:42
Speaker 3: take a bath or something. Yeah, I'd like to read
33:44
Speaker 3: a book. I bought it around the house and I
33:46
Speaker 3: hung out and visited some friends. So I was it
33:48
Speaker 3: was a pretty wonderful chill day. How did thatad dominate
33:51
Speaker 3: the Blackstone? Those days are good? Oh, it's awesome. See
33:54
Speaker 3: that is sandwiches and the pancake, you know, the cheap
33:58
Speaker 3: pancake mixed, the shake and poor the pancake mix. You
34:01
Speaker 3: can do the homemaceuff. My wife bought this stuff and
34:03
Speaker 3: all I had left was like the King Biscuit pancake mix.
34:05
Speaker 3: It was supposed to be really good. Sure didn't have
34:07
Speaker 3: any eggs. I didn't put an egg in it or
34:09
Speaker 3: milk in it, just water, which works with the cheap ones. Yeah,
34:12
Speaker 3: it wasn't as good. Man, I'm gonna have to doctor
34:14
Speaker 3: that up. I gotta step up my pancake. Yeah, the
34:17
Speaker 3: egg and the milk is a different beast. It's a
34:19
Speaker 3: different animal. Different with the mix, you know. I mean, yeah,
34:22
Speaker 3: you can make your own with just flour and you
34:23
Speaker 3: can make and that would probably be better, but that's
34:25
Speaker 3: too much work time for that. You know, the shake
34:29
Speaker 3: and bake or the shaken poor biscuit stuff you pour
34:31
Speaker 3: water and shake it up. And then there's my pancakes, the.
34:34
Speaker 5: One from Costco, the big bag, and I used it
34:37
Speaker 5: for four years and at some point I know it
34:39
Speaker 5: can't be good.
34:39
Speaker 3: That's the other thing. You buy too much beef for
34:43
Speaker 3: reno and then you're stuck. It's the worst cans, Jerry.
34:47
Speaker 3: But it was fun.
34:47
Speaker 2: It was.
34:48
Speaker 3: It was a very very chill, relaxing day. So looking
34:51
Speaker 3: forward to you know, now, let's get after it this
34:53
Speaker 3: week like again, Uh, we got plenty of unpacked, we
34:56
Speaker 3: got the World Cups and it's engaging, it's fun. You

35:23
Speaker 3: We'll talk about all of that as we live, as
35:25
Speaker 3: we as we move ahead, but mostly want your thoughts
35:29
Speaker 3: about Yiannis because deadline spur action and the first major
35:32
Speaker 3: major deadline is approaching. Here, we are self composed one.
35:38

Speaker 3: We are were coming up on like thirty six hours,
35:44

35:51
Speaker 5: to operate, figure out.
35:53
Speaker 3: What's happening in the morning. So it is going to
35:56
Speaker 3: be interesting. So buckle up. It's the Monday edition of
35:58
Speaker 3: the Huddle, Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. In the Huddle Fox
36:05
Speaker 3: Sports Rady Wisconsin, drew billion arm and bringing it to you.
36:09
Speaker 3: Brewers avoided a sweep, they had a big inning they
36:11
Speaker 3: needed it. They lost a couple of nad kicking games,
36:15
Speaker 3: frustrating games they should have could have, should have won.
36:19
Speaker 3: I put both of those adjectives there.
36:20
Speaker 5: Drew.
36:21
Speaker 3: They lined up their best two against the Braves and
36:24
Speaker 3: against two pretty good pictures for the Braves, and they
36:26
Speaker 3: came up short on Friday and Saturday, avoiding a sweep.
36:30
Speaker 3: Yesterday with a much needed relaxing the eight run second inning,
36:35
Speaker 3: thirty second jump all over them running and then just
36:38
Speaker 3: battered the Braves and then kind of coasted in and
36:41
Speaker 3: you know, Chad Patrick got on track. But some there
36:44
Speaker 3: was some stuff that you could question Murph about on
36:47
Speaker 3: Saturday with the you know, bullpen usage and all that,
36:50
Speaker 3: and yeah, and then Drew I kind of liked it.
36:53
Speaker 5: But then obviously you don't like when a three hundred
36:56
Speaker 5: and fifty foot wall the ball gets hit three hundred
36:58
Speaker 5: and fifty two feet. I mean, what did Albe's hit
37:01
Speaker 5: those two out by a combined five feet?
37:04
Speaker 3: Maybe it's that, Yeah, they were both lost. Scrapers and
37:07
Speaker 3: the Brewers lose. But as it happens, our pal Hunter
37:10
Speaker 3: Bombgart has a recap of yesterday's game and the series
37:13
Speaker 3: for the Bus and Hunter's going to join us live
37:15
Speaker 3: at about seven to twenty five Love that this morning
37:17
Speaker 3: to preview the week ahead. Brandon Woodroffe figuring into the
37:21
Speaker 3: mix and not wait for that one. Oh maybe that'll
37:24
Speaker 3: be sweet. And then, as we said, everything that happens
37:27
Speaker 3: this week in Cincinnati divisional game, it's important, They're all important,
37:30
Speaker 3: but it's leading up to the Cubs coming to Milwaukee
37:33
Speaker 3: this weekend. So let's take it away. Hunter Bombgart with
37:36
Speaker 3: a recap take it away, Hunter.
37:38
Speaker 4: Thanks guys, the Brewer is get a nine to four
37:40
Speaker 4: win in the series finale. Yesterday, the salvage a game
37:43
Speaker 4: in the three game set against the Braves. Braves won
37:46
Speaker 4: the first two games by one run. Did you know
37:48
Speaker 4: the last six losses the Brewers have are by one
37:51
Speaker 4: or two runs. They've been in every game, but not
37:54
Speaker 4: able to pull out the first two of the weekend,
37:56
Speaker 4: but thankfully got the five run victory yesterday, and a
37:59
Speaker 4: lot of it due to an eight run inning. The
38:02
Speaker 4: second inning was the big inning for the crew. They
38:04
Speaker 4: had five hits with runners in scoring position in that
38:06
Speaker 4: second inning. That was as many as they had with
38:09
Speaker 4: runners in scoring position for the last three games before
38:12
Speaker 4: that in those three losses. So good to see the
38:15
Speaker 4: risp comeback for the Milwaukee Brewers. And also in that
38:18
Speaker 4: inning eight runs, six of them with two outs, seven hits,
38:22
Speaker 4: a couple of doubles, a three run home run, eleven
38:25
Speaker 4: batters came to the plate. Really felt like the Brewers
38:27
Speaker 4: offense needed that. And how about Robert Gasser on the mound.
38:29
Speaker 4: He goes six innings, allows just two earned runs, seven strikeouts,
38:33
Speaker 4: one walk, and gets his first win in the Majors
38:36
Speaker 4: since twenty twenty four. Pat Murphy is saying after the
38:38
Speaker 4: game that they challenged him after those first two innings
38:40
Speaker 4: a little bit, and Robert Gasser saying it was more about,
38:44
Speaker 4: you know, just not letting the flow of the game
38:46
Speaker 4: dictate how he pitches. And I would consider that probably
38:49
Speaker 4: he was saying, you know what, I know, we're up
38:51
Speaker 4: by a bunch, but still go and attack. That's exactly
38:54
Speaker 4: what Robert Gasser did, and the Brewers get the victory.
38:56
Speaker 4: They're in Cincinnati tonight six'. Ten first Pitch Brandon wood
39:00
Speaker 4: on the mound for The Milwaukee brewers for the first
39:02

40:32
Speaker 2: create a standard for. Himself like anytime he gives up a,
40:35
Speaker 2: run everyone's gonna be, like what's going? On why do
40:37
Speaker 2: you give it up runs at?
40:37
Speaker 3: All like?
40:38
Speaker 2: That you can't you expect somebody that's been so good
40:41
Speaker 2: and so amazing like that to be perfect all the,
40:44
Speaker 2: time which is just not. Reality there's gonna be times
40:45
Speaker 2: he gives up. Runs there's gonna be times things just
40:47
Speaker 2: don't go that. Way and it's hard sometimes because you

Speaker 2: Fun and you know, what it's obviously an unfair, standard
41:10
Speaker 2: but when you're that, good you create that standard for
41:13
Speaker 2: yourself and then everyone looks like, like, well what what
41:15
Speaker 2: do you?
41:15
Speaker 3: Mean you weren't perfect all the, time so but these
41:18
