2:47
Speaker 5: floor and perform and just have fun. We're doing it

2:53
Speaker 5: experience to have.
2:55
Speaker 3: How much do you think that you're able to remember
2:56
Speaker 3: from last year going to State one year now? You're
2:59
Speaker 3: not just to be there, you want to be even better,
3:02

3:04
Speaker 3: like because.
3:04
Speaker 1: That's a long, long run.
3:07
Speaker 3: I know these events you've been prepped for it, but
3:09
Speaker 3: this one feels like it might be even longer.
3:11
Speaker 1: In a full full day.
3:13
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely, it's a very long day. But I feel
3:17
Speaker 5: like I have a good understanding of it from last year.
3:20
Speaker 5: Last year's just taking it all in for the first time.
3:23
Speaker 5: But like you said, we have a pretty good understanding
3:25

Speaker 4: little bit, maybe a little bit over their skis getting
3:49
Speaker 4: on the big floor.
3:50
Speaker 1: What's that like most likely?
3:52
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're a pretty freshman heavy team. We have a
3:55
Speaker 5: lot of freshmen. We have nine or ten of them,
3:58
Speaker 5: and it's probably going to be a crazy experience for them,
4:01
Speaker 5: but we're just here to help them get through it.
4:04
Speaker 5: A lot of the girls are returners, so they know
4:06
Speaker 5: what it's like, but it's definitely nerve wracking getting on
4:09
Speaker 5: a big floor.
4:10

5:12
Speaker 1: That is pretty cool. That's pretty exciting.
5:16
Speaker 6: When we went to school, if you got live stream,
5:17
Speaker 6: when we got if you got any announcements in the
5:19
Speaker 6: intercom that was exciting.
5:20

5:21
Speaker 3: You got it Winn High School for those that got
5:23
Speaker 3: to say, you got to get led by big Bill
5:25
Speaker 3: Schmid sweating in a Falcon outfit around the company. This

5:32
Speaker 1: Speaking of sweating.
5:33
Speaker 4: The economwalk dance team two time state participant going and
5:37
Speaker 4: they're competing in the hip Hop division Division one outfitted
5:40
Speaker 4: by iron Jack. All right, now see now and that
5:44
Speaker 4: you know how good the gear is, Emily, We've been
5:46
Speaker 4: wearing it forever.
5:48
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely, that's a pretty cool experience to have as well.
5:53
Speaker 5: Being sponsored by a big brand like that, and like
5:56
Speaker 5: having our logo on one of their pieces is super cool.
5:59
Speaker 5: They sent us, they sent everyone on our team these
6:02
Speaker 5: like black pollovers and they have our logo like right
6:05
Speaker 5: on the top and then the iron Jack logo and
6:08
Speaker 5: they're so nice.
6:09
Speaker 4: They're amazing And Okay, so we people say, well, why
6:12
Speaker 4: aren't you guys talking sports?
6:13
Speaker 1: This is a sport.
6:16
Speaker 4: These are athletes absolutely, So how long is your season?
6:20
Speaker 4: Is it the entire year? Because you perform at like
6:22
Speaker 4: football games, basketball games, Like how long is the actual season?
6:26
Speaker 1: Is it the entire school year?
6:27
Speaker 4: Because what other sport has a season that lasts like
6:29
Speaker 4: the entire year.
6:31
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's pretty crazy. Technically, our sport is a fall
6:34
Speaker 5: and winter sport. But our season ends the first week
6:38
Speaker 5: in March, and then let's begin the first week in April,
6:43
Speaker 5: so we have like a month off, but then we
6:46
Speaker 5: train all of spring off to prepare for fall and winter.
6:51
Speaker 5: So I would say that we're definitely your sport, but yeah,
6:56
Speaker 5: we're not qualified.
6:56
Speaker 1: As well, but we definitely.
6:58
Speaker 4: And how long are your practices and do you have,
7:01
Speaker 4: like you know, Billy, when you have your weightlifting sessions
7:03
Speaker 4: in the off season in football or you get together
7:06
Speaker 4: and do seven on seven stuff or something like that.
7:08
Speaker 1: There's formal and informal practice.
7:09
Speaker 4: But how long on an average day, Let's say during
7:12
Speaker 4: the football season, how long.
7:14
Speaker 5: Is practice on an average day? Our priceices are two
7:17
Speaker 5: to three hours long. We practice five times to four
7:21
Speaker 5: to five times a week, and then in the off
7:23
Speaker 5: season we do like you said, like weightlifting, agility training
7:27
Speaker 5: and like choreography and.
7:28
Speaker 6: Everything more than an NFL player practicing longer than NFL players,
7:32
Speaker 6: that is legit.
7:33
Speaker 1: That's what we're talking about. That's why Iron Jackets like no.
7:36
Speaker 3: Stink yeah, And I don't want you to give away
7:39
Speaker 3: any secrets. I don't want I don't want us to
7:41
Speaker 3: get in it. What what do we got on the playlist?
7:43
Speaker 3: What hip Hop division?
7:45
Speaker 1: Bad Boney? What do we got here? On the songs? Songs?
7:50
Speaker 5: Our theme this year is ice and so it's a
7:54
Speaker 5: bunch of different like ice and like chill pieces. So
7:58
Speaker 5: we start off with ice iceed from there.
8:01
Speaker 1: Okay, bang arms about, it's gonna be cold. If you
8:10
Speaker 1: guys are competing in the hip hop division? How many
8:12
Speaker 1: like divisions are there across this Uh? I mean that's
8:15
Speaker 1: a great one. How many?
8:16
Speaker 4: And I don't mean like division one, division two, because
8:18
Speaker 4: your division one you're a big school.
8:20
Speaker 1: But in terms of like how many categories are.
8:22
Speaker 5: There, there's we have Palm, hip Hop, Jazz, and kick.
8:28
Speaker 5: So those are the May and four, and then there's
8:31
Speaker 5: normally in our like in our division, we normally have
8:35
Speaker 5: twelve to twenty teams compete in each one. So we
8:40
Speaker 5: do three division or three categories. We do palm, jazz,
8:44
Speaker 5: and hip hop.
8:44
Speaker 4: Okay, so and you guys are in the hip hop
8:47
Speaker 4: see that's the thing. And Billy, I know a lot
8:48
Speaker 4: of people whose kids are in dance and stuff and
8:51
Speaker 4: the commitment and that's why we're saying this is excellent.
8:53
Speaker 1: And it's athlete hours a day and travel.
8:56
Speaker 4: To competitions when when you're not performing at games, you're
8:59
Speaker 4: competing and you're and stuff to get to State. So
9:01
Speaker 4: what is the road to State? Like how do you
9:03
Speaker 4: have to how does how did you guys get there?
9:05
Speaker 4: And what's the celebration like when you find out you're going.
9:08
Speaker 1: Back to win.
9:10
Speaker 5: It's really it's just such a surreal experience, Like we've
9:13
Speaker 5: done it two years now, and like doing it my
9:16
Speaker 5: junior year was the first time the Conwalk has ever
9:18
Speaker 5: gone to State for hip hop, so that was the
9:21
Speaker 5: like making history aspect of it. But this year as
9:26
Speaker 5: a c I was like, okay, like we got to
9:29
Speaker 5: try and do it again. If we don't, that's okay,
9:31
Speaker 5: but like we're going to give it all we got,
9:32
Speaker 5: so just training, agility, training, weightlift, just putting in all
9:37
Speaker 5: the energy that we have, but also just making sure
9:40
Speaker 5: that the girls know the fun experience, like there's no
9:43
Speaker 5: pressure if we don't do as well as we hoped,
9:46
Speaker 5: but we're going to try and give.
9:48
Speaker 1: It her all. Is pretty impressive.
9:50
Speaker 6: The commitment it takes the athletic comment, and that's Ryan John.
9:53
Speaker 1: When you have the analogy, you have the edge and
9:55
Speaker 1: you're always looking for it. I have the edge, you know,
9:56
Speaker 1: all right on the way out here, Emily.
9:58
Speaker 4: Like when people play and when Bill played with guys, UH,
10:01
Speaker 4: your last football game, when you lose in the playoffs
10:04
Speaker 4: and stuff, that's the last time a lot of people
10:05
Speaker 4: will play for you.
10:07
Speaker 1: Seniors. Do a lot of your teammates go on and
10:09
Speaker 1: dance in college? Do they do?
10:11
Speaker 4: They move on as Oconawak becoming a pharmacist? A pipeline
10:14
Speaker 4: to UH pipeline the college dance teams, is that something
10:18
Speaker 4: that's on your radar Personally, We.
10:21
Speaker 5: Have a couple girls that will do that. We have
10:23
Speaker 5: a couple of girls that do more like private studio
10:27
Speaker 5: dancing that are there for like recruitment purposes, but not
10:31
Speaker 5: like a lot. We haven't had a lot of girls
10:33
Speaker 5: go to college teams just because dance is such a
10:37
Speaker 5: massive sport and it's just so time consuming. But there
10:43
Speaker 5: definitely are a couple of girls that I know. One
10:45
Speaker 5: of my friends tried out for the uw Oshkosh team,
10:48
Speaker 5: the Milwaukee team lacrosse, Like, we have girls that have
10:51
Speaker 5: gone to college teams.
11:00
Speaker 4: The private studio thing for those and I have again,
11:02
Speaker 4: I have friends who are steeped in this. The private
11:04
Speaker 4: studio thing is kind of like the club volleyball thing
11:07
Speaker 4: or the club soccer. You got your high school team,
11:09
Speaker 4: then you got your club like these girls are dancing
11:12
Speaker 4: like all the time.
11:13
Speaker 6: It's incredible commitment. We're talking about travel ball and travel us.
11:17
Speaker 1: This is exactly the.
11:18
Speaker 4: Same thing, exactly the same thing. Financially, the parents are invested.
11:21
Speaker 4: It's time consuming, it's a it's a it's a whole deal. Emily,
11:25
Speaker 4: thank you for joining us.
11:26
Speaker 1: Thanks.
11:26
Speaker 4: It hurt Billy because he has an Arrowhead tie. He
11:29
Speaker 4: coached the Arrowhead football team and he has friends over there.
11:32
Speaker 4: It hurt him to celebrate and shine a light on o'conwalk.
11:35
Speaker 4: But we appreciate this. But we wish you guys best
11:37
Speaker 4: of luck, best of luck this week, and I will.
11:39
Speaker 1: Enjoy the ride you bet.
11:43
Speaker 4: Emily Mayfield Oconomwalk Dance Team eleventh and State. Last year
11:46
Speaker 4: they're going back and last year was the first time
11:49
Speaker 4: they ever went, and they are an Iron Jocks sponsored entity.
11:52
Speaker 4: They touch a lot of bases there and Emily's dad,
11:54
Speaker 4: Mark is a friend of the pro the program.
11:56
Speaker 3: I also think Drew when you know Emily could be
11:59
Speaker 3: a senior, right gets to lead out the squad and
12:02
Speaker 3: talk through that conversation you mentioned it.
12:03
Speaker 1: He's a four year.
12:05
Speaker 3: Starter, but you you bring it up of like those
12:07
Speaker 3: last moments, the ones where you know like, this is
12:10
Speaker 3: probably gonna be the last game, This is given me
12:11
Speaker 3: the last dance. For a lot of girls, this probably
12:13
Speaker 3: will This is a longer commitment than you're making playing.
12:16
Speaker 1: You know, you bring up high school football or even
12:19
Speaker 1: you know.
12:19
Speaker 3: Basketball, moms and dads have been playing and bringing their
12:23
Speaker 3: kids to events for you know, ten fifteen years. That's
12:27
Speaker 3: probably an emotional one for the parents because they probably
12:30
Speaker 3: get into dance when they're two or three years old,
12:33
Speaker 3: and you want to talk about this is the already
12:36
Speaker 3: realized that we signed up by a three year old
12:37
Speaker 3: for a preschool next year.
12:39
Speaker 1: They grow up quick.
12:40
Speaker 6: Man.
12:40
Speaker 3: The days are long, but the years go by fast,
12:43
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, your thing.
12:44
Speaker 1: They're like, wow, senior in high school, that's.
12:46
Speaker 4: Pretty cool deal andvulation, and that's the thing we tend
12:49
Speaker 4: to focus. We always focus more on the big sports,
12:51
Speaker 4: the basketballs and the footballs and stuff. But I'm telling you,
12:54
Speaker 4: I have my friends whose daughters are involved in this
12:57
Speaker 4: high level, competitive high school club day dancing. It is
13:01
Speaker 4: the same kind of deal and travel baseball, travel soccer,
13:04
Speaker 4: whatever it might be, AAU basketball. Yeah, it's an industry.
13:08
Speaker 4: It's a record. And I don't know if you guys,
13:10
Speaker 4: if your wives were into it.
13:12
Speaker 1: My wife not so much. My daughter watches Dance Moms.
13:15
Speaker 6: Like, oh, I watched Thats and everything like that.
13:18
Speaker 1: The Dance Moms. That was one of my favorites.
13:20
Speaker 6: TLC shows Yes, yes, oh man, that was a wild one.
13:24
Speaker 6: But it does highlight the competitiveness that goes on and
13:27
Speaker 6: the intensity of it. She talked about how many people
13:29
Speaker 6: would think of weightlifting when they think about it, but
13:31
Speaker 6: that's absolutely what it is. You know, you want to
13:33
Speaker 6: get an edge, and we talked about the iron Jack factor.
13:35
Speaker 6: It's absolutely true. You know, the gear is important, everything
13:38
Speaker 6: you do is important. Uh, the edge you can get
13:40
Speaker 6: in any competition is important. And it's an absolutely competitive
13:43
Speaker 6: athletic feet So it doesn't surprise me that it's that
13:47
Speaker 6: way and people are so committed to it.
13:48
Speaker 3: You know, our friend Ryan Moskeigo said a great interview. Guys,
13:51
Speaker 3: my daughter Quinn going back to state as well, defending
13:54
Speaker 3: champs with Meskeigo. I broke because my daughter's dance career.
13:57
Speaker 3: But good luck to a kind of loga. But no, no,
14:00
Speaker 3: I do know though, when he realizes that it's done,
14:03
Speaker 3: and be like, man, I wish I could sit on
14:05
Speaker 3: that plastic bleacher.
14:07
Speaker 1: For thirteen sandwiches And you don't get those days back.
14:13
Speaker 3: Four ham sandwiches that I packed in the cooler and
14:15
Speaker 3: I ate by eleven am.
14:16
Speaker 1: So then you still go to the concessions stand four times.
14:19
Speaker 4: And if your team stinks, I played on some stinky
14:21
Speaker 4: high school teams, but the dance team is good.
14:23
Speaker 1: At least you got some point of pride for your in.
14:25
Speaker 1: Somebody's winning, somebody's going to state.
14:28
Speaker 4: And because and it becomes like Ryan knows this, and
14:31
Speaker 4: our buddy Mark knows this. That becomes your your community,
14:34

16:39
Speaker 3: nine three Good morning from Beautiful sunny Vail, Colorado.
16:43
Speaker 4: We're here for a family wedding. Uh uh, so I
16:46
Speaker 4: only get you for an hour. My daughter in Minnesota
16:49
Speaker 4: is convinced Giannis is heading to the Timberwolves today. I
16:51
Speaker 4: told her time will tell, but she shouldn't get her
16:53
Speaker 4: hopes up.
16:54
Speaker 6: Well, they do seem like if there was a destination
16:56
Speaker 6: that maybe that's one of the more realistic ones. Yeah,
17:00
Speaker 6: what the And then you mentioned that we didn't get
17:01
Speaker 6: to the sam Amic thing, Billy.
17:03
Speaker 4: And yeah, there, but when we when we come back,
17:07
Speaker 4: we'll talk to you about it. Jim Osarski of the
17:10
Speaker 4: General Sentinel, because he is gonna, you know.
17:13
Speaker 3: He's been talking about he's hammered at home and and
17:16
Speaker 3: the interesting part of the conversation from last night, sam
17:21
Speaker 3: Amic put it out there that there was an extended
17:24
Speaker 3: lack of communication from the Milwaukee side drew in recent
17:28
Speaker 3: days that left the Warriors and some other teams skeptical
17:31
Speaker 3: that at Tetakumbo would actually be on the move. Lack
17:35
Speaker 3: of communication in the coming days. I thought there was
17:37
Speaker 3: aggressive countercounter offering sifting through.
17:40
Speaker 1: That's all. I kept hearing them shifting through, sifting and there. Yeah,
17:43
Speaker 1: they're they're counteroffering. They're countering some offers lack of communicas, like.
17:48
Speaker 3: We're prospecting an extended lack of communication.
17:51
Speaker 1: Let's go, come on, come on. One of the things
17:57
Speaker 1: we mentioned, Jim, the joint is coming up.
17:59
Speaker 4: But one of the that struck me when we were
18:01
Speaker 4: talking to Emily and we're talking about dance and stuff.
18:04
Speaker 4: They suffer injuries too that they do tell that they
18:08
Speaker 4: have some big time it's ankle sprains or you know,
18:12
Speaker 4: knees acls.
18:13
Speaker 1: They suffer injuries. That's a support to youth sports.
18:16
Speaker 4: The injuries I think are on the rise acls, especially
18:19
Speaker 4: especially when you're talking about specialized sports.
18:21
Speaker 1: If you're dancing that whole year long, there's gonna be
18:24
Speaker 1: a lot playing soccer all year long.
18:26
Speaker 4: If you if your child, you or your child suffers
18:29
Speaker 4: an orthopedic episode and needs help, can't recommend Orthpedic Associates
18:33
Speaker 4: of Wisconsin more.
18:34

19:10
Speaker 4: will touch base with our buddy Jim Osarski at The
19:12
Speaker 4: Journal Sentinel.
19:12
Speaker 1: He had the first story with Giannis.
19:14
Speaker 4: The comments that still remain a tumbleweed blowing down this
19:18
Speaker 4: big freeway and the super highway of information where a
19:21
Speaker 4: lot of the national people aren't even picking up what
19:23
Speaker 4: Yanna said.
19:23
Speaker 1: They don't want to hear it.
19:24
Speaker 3: No, they don't want to hear it. Well, actually the
19:28
Speaker 3: broducers say, you know what, actually, let's not run that one.
19:30
Speaker 3: Let's take that one off of the front page, actually
19:33
Speaker 3: completely off of the NBA page and totality that's right
19:35
Speaker 3: crazy how that happens.
19:36
Speaker 1: We will catch up with Jim Ozarski next. It is
19:39
Speaker 1: the huddle on Fox Sports Radio. Was coming south bound
19:41
Speaker 1: Brown Dear to market just ten minutes same. I'm talking
19:44
Speaker 1: text on. We talked about it.
19:45
Speaker 4: We spent most of the show talking about his story. Yes, yesterday,
19:48
Speaker 4: trade deadline in the NBA is today. We've got our
19:51
Speaker 4: Bucks expert our go to guy from the Journal Sentinel,
19:54
Speaker 4: Jim Osarski joined us. Jim, thanks for getting up early
19:56
Speaker 4: after a back to back. We appreciate it.
19:59
Speaker 2: Ahead, guys, thanks for having me.
20:01
Speaker 1: All Right, the.
20:01
Speaker 4: Story with Giannis, the national churn, This has been quite
20:05
Speaker 4: the ride, and throughout it you've been pretty steadfast in that.
20:08
Speaker 4: You know, it not out of the realm that Giannis
20:11
Speaker 4: could stay in Milwaukee, and it looks like, by all indications,
20:13
Speaker 4: by what happened with Golden State, it looks like he's
20:15
Speaker 4: gonna be with Milwaukee at least through the end of
20:18
Speaker 4: this season. What are your thoughts on what lies ahead
20:21
Speaker 4: in the next several hours.
20:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I mean, look, the key difference for
20:27
Speaker 2: I guess Bucks fans is, you know, the team actually
20:31
Speaker 2: began actively listening to calls for him, so that that
20:35
Speaker 2: was different. I mean, I think that was the first
20:37
Speaker 2: time John Horst the GM has really done that. So
20:42
Speaker 2: once you start actively listening, right, action can happen. And
20:46
Speaker 2: so it did make this I guess Flurry in the
20:52
Speaker 2: last week or two a little different than all the
20:54
Speaker 2: years passed, right, guys. But look, it's really hard to move,
21:00
Speaker 2: you know, let's just break it down. It's really hard
21:02
Speaker 2: to move a sixty three million dollar player in a
21:06
Speaker 2: couple of days, right, especially now you're you're talking about
21:10
Speaker 2: an MVP, one of the one of the best of
21:13
Speaker 2: all time, who's still at the top of his game.
21:15
Speaker 2: It's just really, really difficult. So I think they did
21:18
Speaker 2: due diligence. I'm not surprised that we're here in Nationally,
21:22
Speaker 2: there isn't enough out there to make this happen. So yeah,
21:25
Speaker 2: I do think, you know, Yannis and specifically you know,
21:29
Speaker 2: we're going to get through this deadline and kind of
21:31
Speaker 2: hit reset on all of this kind of craziness in
21:34
Speaker 2: April May. But I do think John Horst is working
21:37
Speaker 2: along the edges. We'll find out if they can kind
21:40
Speaker 2: of switch up the chemistry, switch up some of these
21:42
Speaker 2: these other guys, you know, maybe find a better fit.
21:46
Speaker 2: You know, clearly it hasn't really worked there. What's five
21:48
Speaker 2: and fifteen without Giannis not good enough, you know, so
21:52
Speaker 2: maybe there's some ancillary moves and smaller moves they can
21:54
Speaker 2: do here in the next couple hours.
21:56
Speaker 3: I want to ask you about that in a second.
21:57
Speaker 3: But Jim, great to hearing, be great reporting, and thank
21:59
Speaker 3: you for the free content yesterday.
22:01
Speaker 2: Thank you for.
22:03
Speaker 3: Media starts with me, me and you were great for
22:06
Speaker 3: we so we appreciate that. But with this one, you
22:09
Speaker 3: mentioned it, and I do believe that that it's it's
22:12
Speaker 3: really pertinent to think of this is the first time
22:14
Speaker 3: the Bucks have listened, that they've been active in listening.
22:17
Speaker 3: Do you believe that was just a John horsset looking
22:20
Speaker 3: at where they're at basketball wiser? Does that feel like
22:24
Speaker 3: maybe more of a because this is the most important
22:27
Speaker 3: person in the organization, Was that maybe more of a
22:31
Speaker 3: conversation of ownership saying, Hey, we.
22:33
Speaker 1: Know that this might need a reset.
22:35
Speaker 3: We want to know all of the value that's out
22:38
Speaker 3: there before we make this full decision into the offseason
22:41
Speaker 3: what we do for the next you know, it's trading
22:43
Speaker 3: him at this point, but it's a two to five
22:45
Speaker 3: to seven year plan that you're starting to execute.
22:49
Speaker 1: If you move off of Jannis Adagombo.
22:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that that has to be an ownership call.
22:54
Speaker 2: Will and Janna Stephens said that talking to me the
22:57
Speaker 2: other night where he said, look, I know what my
23:00
Speaker 2: goals are is where are theirs? And he feels like
23:05
Speaker 2: I've talked to him. I'm not going to share those conversations,
23:07
Speaker 2: but clearly in in this moment, you know, he wasn't
23:11
Speaker 2: sure what their next steps would be. And so, yeah,
23:15
Speaker 2: I think I don't think John Horse for as much basketball. Look,
23:19
Speaker 2: he's built a lot of winning here. I don't think
23:22
Speaker 2: that's the type of move a GM can unilaterally make,
23:27
Speaker 2: you know, especially you look down at what happened in Dallas.
23:29
Speaker 2: You know with Luka Doncic, ownership signed off, but ownership
23:34
Speaker 2: didn't know what they were doing right, Whereas the west
23:37
Speaker 2: Edens west Edons is very very clear on what Giannis
23:41
Speaker 2: means to the Bucks, to his business in Milwaukee. And yeah,
23:46
Speaker 2: so Bill, I do think it had to start there
23:48
Speaker 2: and then you just do the due diligence and see
23:51
Speaker 2: it is the good business, they honest business still or
23:54
Speaker 2: or do we need to learn about some of this
23:56
Speaker 2: other stuff? And you know John Horst had to take
23:58
Speaker 2: those calls.
24:00
Speaker 1: It was our skate Journal Sentinel here, Drew Billy Arman.
24:04
Speaker 4: Okay, so when you talk too honest One of the
24:06
Speaker 4: things we talked about earlier is when you talk to Honest,
24:08
Speaker 4: you don't you don't get the feeling you're being spun
24:11
Speaker 4: like when you talk to agents or college coaches, like
24:14
Speaker 4: sometimes you need to you feel like you need to
24:15
Speaker 4: shower after those conversations because you're they're trying to spin
24:18
Speaker 4: you and getting you to to, you know, slant things
24:20
Speaker 4: their way, and they're not giving you the whole story.
24:23
Speaker 4: Have you ever felt that way with you Honest? You've
24:24
Speaker 4: becovered him, You and Eric have covered him for this
24:27
Speaker 4: whole run here. You're as close to him as anybody.
24:29
Speaker 4: Have you ever felt that way that he has motives?
24:32
Speaker 4: You were also around the packers and remember man Brett
24:34
Speaker 4: Farv was a guy that played the Bumpkin character, and
24:37
Speaker 4: but it was there was more to it under the surface.
24:39
Speaker 1: Where are you with that? To me, it seems the
24:41
Speaker 1: honest seems like what you see is what you get.
24:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I've always said, you know, English maybe
24:47
Speaker 2: his third or fourth language, but he understands and speaks
24:50
Speaker 2: it's far better than I and many and many people
24:55
Speaker 2: I know. So yeah, I think he's he's quick. I
25:01
Speaker 2: don't want to say he's calculated. But he knows what
25:03
Speaker 2: he's saying. You know, I don't think he is truly
25:06
Speaker 2: truly off the cup at times, but I know in
25:09
Speaker 2: most moments, you know, especially in the one the interview specifically,
25:16
Speaker 2: I just happened to catch him in the right time.
25:18
Speaker 2: He wasn't expecting to talk to me. I think it
25:20
Speaker 2: just happened, and all of that was very emotional in
25:25
Speaker 2: the moment, And yeah, to you to your bigger point,
25:28
Speaker 2: that's what a lot of what he does, you know,
25:31
Speaker 2: that's kind of where the jokes come from, and that's
25:33
Speaker 2: sort of his The thing he leans on, right is
25:37
Speaker 2: I need to make a joke, I need to be funny.
25:39
Speaker 2: Let me break this with a little levity, even if
25:42
Speaker 2: it doesn't land all the way right. So, No, I
25:44
Speaker 2: do believe Drew that he comes across as genuine. Sure
25:50
Speaker 2: there's some calculations, like of a better word in there.
25:53
Speaker 2: Sometimes he does want to convey a message at times,
25:57
Speaker 2: but yeah, for the most part, he's what just is
26:00
Speaker 2: what you get.
26:00
Speaker 4: For sure, he could have blown you off, But it
26:02
Speaker 4: seems to me like with all the churn, and I
26:05
Speaker 4: guess he hears about it from Mariah apparently, but with
26:08
Speaker 4: all the churn. He felt like he wanted to get
26:10
Speaker 4: this out in the universe and worst done. Jim, that
26:14
Speaker 4: where's Sham's and Wendy talking about reacting like those guys.
26:16
Speaker 4: It's just it's like a tumbleweed. It's like a tree
26:19
Speaker 4: falling in the forest. Like what they didn't pick up
26:22
Speaker 4: on that.
26:22
Speaker 3: That lack of attention to it nationally, Jim, been a
26:25
Speaker 3: little surprising to you, like how the story has been
26:27
Speaker 3: covered that way.
26:30
Speaker 2: No, well, two things. I do think he's aware of
26:33
Speaker 2: that stuff, even if he says, you know, I don't,
26:35
Speaker 2: I'm off social media, I don't pay I mean, clearly
26:38
Speaker 2: he knows where his name is in the discourse. Is
26:43
Speaker 2: that why he wanted to talk to me. I don't.
26:45
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think he was willing to just
26:48
Speaker 2: talk and hear the questions. Now you're that second question. Yeah,
26:54
Speaker 2: I'm not surprised because it didn't really fit the eject.
27:00
Speaker 2: I mean, some of it was picked up in depending
27:04
Speaker 2: what outlet was running an excerpt or or something about it.
27:07
Speaker 2: It was the It was the other parts like, hey,
27:10
Speaker 2: I want to win, I don't want to be on
27:11
Speaker 2: the sort of bad team for a while, right, And
27:16
Speaker 2: so yeah, it's it's just yeah, I'm not surprised, unfortunately,
27:21
Speaker 2: but I do think you're right he wanted in that
27:23
Speaker 2: moment the way it started going, guys was to it
27:29
Speaker 2: felt like he was trying to define what Milwaukee meant
27:34
Speaker 2: to him in a way that I think you guys
27:36
Speaker 2: talked about this too. I'm sure where it's that one
27:39
Speaker 2: footage one foot out because he really want to be here?
27:41
Speaker 2: Do you not want to be here? I think he
27:42
Speaker 2: really wanted to clarify that when he talked to me
27:46
Speaker 2: the other night.
27:47
Speaker 1: Well, and that's been Jim.
27:48
Speaker 3: I've said it kind of openly over the last couple
27:50
Speaker 3: of months where it's felt like I wanted to say something,
27:52
Speaker 3: wanted something, but didn't want to say it. Wants Alba
27:55
Speaker 3: didn't want to say it, and it did feel like
27:57
Speaker 3: that was the biggest validation of the furthest thing that
28:00
Speaker 3: I want is I want to now live in New
28:03
Speaker 3: York City, Like, don't make this say I now want
28:06
Speaker 3: to live in Los Angeles because I'm sick and tired
28:09
Speaker 3: of the people.
28:10
Speaker 1: The basketball situation is it and you mentioned it.
28:13
Speaker 3: Earlier on of you know, there might be some stuff
28:15
Speaker 3: around the edges that they could do what's the sense
28:17
Speaker 3: that you get of maybe some aggressiveness that they could
28:21
Speaker 3: find here at the deadline in the next you know,
28:23
Speaker 3: seven hours or so before two o'clock, but kind of
28:26
Speaker 3: recalibrating where they're at in the off season where you know,
28:30
Speaker 3: for the first time in a number of years, they
28:32
Speaker 3: do feel like they actually have some ammunition to help the.
28:36
Speaker 1: Roster with some young players that have kind of butted
28:39
Speaker 1: in some opportunities.
28:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, so look, John Horse has always moved in silence, right,
28:45
Speaker 2: That's why some of this other stuff is probably speaking
28:47
Speaker 2: guys to smoke the chatter. How suddenly everyone knew everything.
28:51
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying teams don't talk, clearly they do.
28:54
Speaker 2: But when does the John Horse ever operated the right
28:58
Speaker 2: right like like Drew Holliday, Damien Litard. No one knew
29:01
Speaker 2: those were happening until they happened. So I can't speak
29:06
Speaker 2: on specific players right now. But look, again, this hasn't
29:10
Speaker 2: gone very well. Maybe there are some better fits. Maybe
29:14
Speaker 2: there's you know, a different, a true point guard that
29:18
Speaker 2: they could finally use after all these years. Maybe there
29:22
Speaker 2: is that sort of distressed asset in a in a
29:25
Speaker 2: six to eight guy that they could use that maybe
29:29
Speaker 2: all right, texts purposes, their team wants to dump them, right,
29:35
Speaker 2: So I think that sort of pre agency is maybe
29:37
Speaker 2: where they're looking now. Bill, you reference. Look, I think
29:40
Speaker 2: one of the desperation moments for these teams trying to
29:45
Speaker 2: pry him away now is because if you give John
29:49
Speaker 2: Horst draft picks and money things he hasn't had in
29:53
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, what kind of rabbits can he pull out
29:57
Speaker 2: have had the summer? And that's what Yanna said in
29:59
Speaker 2: the piece. I asked him straight up. I'm like, you know,
30:03
Speaker 2: are you willing to continue to listen? And he's like,
30:06
Speaker 2: of course, I always listen to what they say. I
30:08
Speaker 2: always listen to the plan they have. He's like, why
30:11
Speaker 2: do you think I'm still here? Right? And he has.
30:13
Speaker 2: Every time they've shown their in, he's been in and
30:17
Speaker 2: that's all he ever asks. And if he's still here
30:21
Speaker 2: into the summer, and again his ownership decides, hey, let's
30:24
Speaker 2: do this thing. You know. I think he'll be extending
30:27
Speaker 2: in October.
30:28
Speaker 1: What as we go back?
30:30
Speaker 4: If Giannis does leave is the turning point when Dame's
30:33
Speaker 4: Achilles popped.
30:39
Speaker 2: I don't think so, because I think they would have
30:42
Speaker 2: traded him the summer. I think that relationship. I think
30:46
Speaker 2: him and Day like each other personally, but I don't
30:52
Speaker 2: know if that fit works now. When you say turning point,
30:56
Speaker 2: I think yes, in the sense that they had to
30:59
Speaker 2: wave and stray him and signed Miles Turner. Look, Miles
31:02
Speaker 2: was on a Dame replacement. Miles was a Brook replacement.
31:05
Speaker 2: I think if you're trading fifty four million dollars of
31:08
Speaker 2: an All Star game Lillard, you're probably getting an All
31:13
Speaker 2: Star back, You're getting picks back, You're getting you know
31:17
Speaker 2: what I mean, You're getting something back. So yeah, but
31:22
Speaker 2: you're right, it could be an inflection point, true, but
31:24
Speaker 2: I think it's it's maybe not the inflection point from
31:27
Speaker 2: over the years that makes.
31:28
Speaker 4: Sense, doesn't It seem like the Bucks and people say, well,
31:32
Speaker 4: John Horsse, They've only won the one championship. So I
31:34
Speaker 4: think John Horse's main job, number one, maybe above winning championship,
31:38
Speaker 4: is to keep you honest, happy, and keep you honest
31:39
Speaker 4: in Milwaukee and start from there. That's the baseline that's
31:42
Speaker 4: always been to me his job descriptions. And he's accomplished
31:45
Speaker 4: that right now, and can he continued to do that?
31:48
Speaker 4: That's the question that hangs over the franchise right now
31:52
Speaker 4: is can he do that? But in the process of that,
31:54
Speaker 4: they put a lot of stuff on the credit card,
31:56
Speaker 4: and the bills are coming to, and they aged out,
31:58
Speaker 4: and they don't have the young wings, and they didn't
32:00
Speaker 4: have draft picks, and they tried to get you know,
32:03
Speaker 4: Jay Crowder, who popped off on Twitter. By the way,
32:05
Speaker 4: good journalism expanding on that story as well.
32:10
Speaker 1: Uh, but so so all the.
32:11
Speaker 4: Bills are coming to. It's quite a confluence. Does John
32:14
Speaker 4: Horst have the hardest job in the NBA?
32:18
Speaker 2: I mean, I'd say sometimes these rebuild and long draft
32:23
Speaker 2: picks are the hard things to do. But yeah, I mean, look,
32:27
Speaker 2: when you're trying to continue to build rosters and you know,
32:32
Speaker 2: build around a championship, t Yeah, that's that's really hard
32:35
Speaker 2: to keep winning and keep a guy like that happy. Look,
32:37
Speaker 2: there's only one Giannis, you know, Dallas just traded Luca.
32:42
Speaker 2: He wasn't gonna go anywhere, at least not for a
32:44
Speaker 2: long time. Joker doesn't really and Denver didn't really put
32:47
Speaker 2: pressure on it like that Lebron used to, and you know,
32:56
Speaker 2: but yeah, kind of wore out. So yeah, I would
32:59
Speaker 2: say it's, if not the hardest is one of the hardest,
33:01
Speaker 2: that's for sure.
33:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the.
33:02
Speaker 3: Lebron one is a fascinating one, Jim, because it did
33:05
Speaker 3: like we now again, I don't know how much I
33:07
Speaker 3: believe all of the conversation and any smoke that comes
33:09
Speaker 3: out of any building, but people in Los Angeles done
33:12
Speaker 3: with it now, so like it does wane when you
33:15
Speaker 3: have to continue to keep someone health happy. But when
33:18
Speaker 3: there is a finish line, and there's also the option
33:21
Speaker 3: and the extension. In October you mentioned it, like possibility
33:24
Speaker 3: of them extending him if he's here in Milwaukee and
33:26
Speaker 3: stays through the summer, the possibility in the likelihood goes up.
33:30
Speaker 3: There is there again this significant amount more money that
33:34
Speaker 3: they're able to offer, or does it start to change
33:37
Speaker 3: later into his career, because Drew and I have joked
33:40
Speaker 3: about it that like once, once this clears at two o'clock,
33:44
Speaker 3: we get about forty eight hours a reprieve before a
33:46
Speaker 3: certain four letter never starts.
33:49
Speaker 1: So even if he.
33:50
Speaker 3: Signs, I know that it's a year a year until
33:52
Speaker 3: he can be traded again, and that conversation will will
33:55
Speaker 3: stir up. But is again the bird rights a rather
33:58
Speaker 3: helpful deal for the and their ability to pay more
34:01
Speaker 3: than anybody else for him.
34:04
Speaker 2: So it used to be that way. He's now thirteen
34:09
Speaker 2: years in and once you're that far in, it's the
34:14
Speaker 2: money does kind of even out. Where the Bucks get
34:17
Speaker 2: an advantage is it's an extra year. So I think
34:21
Speaker 2: in free agency he could sign for four years, but
34:24
Speaker 2: the Bucks he could signed for five. Got it, and
34:26
Speaker 2: that does matter when you're looking at age thirty six
34:29
Speaker 2: at seventy plus million dollars. Now you mentioned the forty
34:35
Speaker 2: eight hours. So where the Bucks have a disadvantage with
34:39
Speaker 2: this is he is not eligible intill October. And okay,
34:44
Speaker 2: right now that what does that mean? Well, every other
34:47
Speaker 2: free agent, every other extension is July, so he cannot sign.
34:53
Speaker 2: And so guess the organ here, guys, they at the
34:56
Speaker 2: combine and when when the lottery evolved, and then June
34:59
Speaker 2: it's gonna be well, yeah, is evaluating the future. Janice
35:01
Speaker 2: is ready for a new home because yeah, he's going
35:05
Speaker 2: to apply that pressure and he cannot do anything right,
35:10
Speaker 2: you know, And look, guys, that's his leverage. We're gonna
35:14
Speaker 2: hear sources say Janice isn't sure if he's gonna extend.
35:17
Speaker 2: Giannie isn't sure what he's gonna do you know, I
35:21
Speaker 2: think we'd hear that no matter what. And we heard
35:23
Speaker 2: that with Dame. Remember guys, that that first October media
35:27
Speaker 2: day he said I'm not signing, and then two and
35:30
Speaker 2: a half weeks later he signed him. You know what
35:32
Speaker 2: I mean. So it's just but yeah, you're right, we
35:35
Speaker 2: get a little reprieve and then it will all start
35:37
Speaker 2: up again in the near future.
35:40
Speaker 6: Is there a non zero chance of the Bucks you
35:42
Speaker 6: mentioned horse moving in silence would actually acquire everyone's talking
35:45
Speaker 6: about what we would you know, if we're gonna trade
35:47
Speaker 6: you honest, is there a chance, a non zero chance?
35:49
Speaker 6: I'll say that the Bucks should actually acquire a big
35:51
Speaker 6: piece here. I mean there were rumors they were big
35:53
Speaker 6: game hunting.
35:54
Speaker 2: Quote right, I think they were when he was healthy.
36:00
Speaker 2: Now it i'd have to say the pick in thirty
36:04
Speaker 2: one or thirty two's off the table. And while they
36:07
Speaker 2: do have some money, they can absorb some cash. You know,
36:13
Speaker 2: Let's say, if you trade Kyle Kuzma and you use
36:15
Speaker 2: your catch, you got like thirty four million dollars, that's
36:19
Speaker 2: a very good player. But if it's just it would
36:22
Speaker 2: have to just be a salary dump. And so That's
36:25
Speaker 2: where I think maybe there's some ancillary moves, like a
36:28
Speaker 2: huge deal that one that that seems a little difficult
36:33
Speaker 2: to imagine just because of where they're at.
36:35
Speaker 4: Okay, on the way out here, Jimmy, where does Doc
36:37
Speaker 4: Rivers fit into the equation? What's his status? If Jannis
36:42
Speaker 4: wants him as the coach? Do they just let him
36:44
Speaker 4: ride out the contract that he has?
36:46
Speaker 1: He does? Where? I mean it should we start calling
36:48
Speaker 1: him Doc Pisaccia?
36:53
Speaker 2: What?
36:54
Speaker 1: How does that?
36:54
Speaker 2: Doc?
36:55
Speaker 1: You had a factor in this?
36:56
Speaker 4: And if they were to make a move, you know,
36:59
Speaker 4: then not knowing what Gianness or do you wait to
37:01
Speaker 4: see if you trade Giannis and then make a move
37:02
Speaker 4: on Doc and get somebody who can do a rebuild.
37:04
Speaker 1: What's your take on that? What's your sense?
37:07
Speaker 2: It's a great question. Look, Doc was hired two years
37:10
Speaker 2: ago to take you know, Drew Damon Giannis to a championship,
37:16
Speaker 2: and he's been barely about five hundred since. And yeah,
37:19
Speaker 2: there's there's reasons or excuses for that, but it just
37:22
Speaker 2: hasn't gone the way this is supposed to have gone.
37:26
Speaker 2: When you're left on his deal, it's I mean, guys,
37:28
Speaker 2: we all know this. It's usually that's the time, right
37:33
Speaker 2: When When when do you move on? When do you
37:35
Speaker 2: have an extension? I think it's fair the fact that
37:38
Speaker 2: in the past years Jason Kidd and you know, Adrian
37:42
Speaker 2: Griffin were let go when they felt the coach was
37:46
Speaker 2: in the way of performance. Clearly, to this point, ownership
37:50
Speaker 2: is not making that call. It hasn't made that call,
37:53
Speaker 2: And I do think it's fair to reevaluate that, like,
37:56
Speaker 2: this is not the veteran Leyden Star Laydon team that
38:02
Speaker 2: he was hired to get to the next level. They
38:05
Speaker 2: didn't get to the next level. His job wasn't done.
38:07
Speaker 2: So a man, I can't sit here and say he's
38:11
Speaker 2: the guy for the this year's Bucks or even the
38:14
Speaker 2: next version of the Bucks, because you know, the job
38:18
Speaker 2: he was hired to do wasn't done and it's totally
38:21
Speaker 2: turned over roster. And I think it would be fair
38:24
Speaker 2: to say, Okay, let's evaluate all of this and what's
38:28
Speaker 2: next for us, and is this guy still you know,
38:30
Speaker 2: the best, the best guy to do it?
38:32
Speaker 4: Does Doc get credit He's getting taken a lot of
38:34
Speaker 4: uh catch a lot of strays on these streets, But
38:37
Speaker 4: does he get any credit for Ryan Rollins's emergence zero
38:40
Speaker 4: of course.
38:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course there's always credit, you know. I mean,
38:43
Speaker 2: I think in the broader sense has not gone well.
38:46
Speaker 2: But yeah, he did play that kid when when he
38:48
Speaker 2: was a two way contract that year, right, and and
38:50
Speaker 2: we've seen him really develop, so that that is true
38:52
Speaker 2: for sure.
38:53
Speaker 3: Okay, that's exciting. People are still ready to get him out.
38:56
Speaker 3: That's gonna be fun. But you know what, listen, I
38:58
Speaker 3: imagine too after Jim laid it out there after one
39:01
Speaker 3: year left on the contract, they're like, wait, that sounds
39:02
Speaker 3: a lot better than paying three coaches at one time.
39:05
Speaker 4: Maybe we do, but that's you know, that's money out
39:09
Speaker 4: of the couch cushions, doesn't count against the cap.
39:11
Speaker 1: Whatever. They just fired.
39:13
Speaker 3: They just fired a coach in Ohio. They got they
39:15
Speaker 3: fire this coach. We don't want to be paid twelve coaches.
39:18
Speaker 1: And has one send Deshaun Watson on the first and fifteenth.
39:21
Speaker 1: Can I ask what's the ROI on that saying, Jimmy, keep.
39:27
Speaker 4: Doing the good work man, just at man at Team
39:30
Speaker 4: fifteen today.
39:31
Speaker 1: I hope you go get a stiff drink and relax
39:33
