- 1:53Speaker 2: It's a Buyer Cell Tuesday, and we welcome you in.
- 1:56Speaker 4: Boys getting some some the first percolations, a new bucks coach, perhaps.
- 2:05Speaker 2: Some speculations, some ideas, maybe a meetup and a conversation
- 2:09Speaker 2: to see if an old friend can be the rekindling
- 2:13Speaker 2: of that flame here in Milwaii.
- 2:15Speaker 4: It sounds like Taylor Jenkins got a visit from John
- 2:18Speaker 4: Horst and West Evens and Jimmy Haslam.
- 2:19Speaker 2: Yeah and fitting for Buyer Cell Tuesdays. In Memphis, the
- 2:23Speaker 2: line was they have.
- 2:24Speaker 3: Registered serious interests registered, yes, and Taylor Jenkins that was
- 2:28Speaker 3: in the.
- 2:30Speaker 4: I know they're going to do their due diligence. They
- 2:32Speaker 4: just you know, they've been through a couple of coaching
- 2:34Speaker 4: searches in the not too distant past, that's for sure.
- 2:37Speaker 2: They got experience.
- 2:37Speaker 4: So the candidates, they're well known to them, right, So
- 2:40Speaker 4: I mean, how much due diligence do you have to do?
- 2:42Speaker 2: That's fair? The other thing is, guys, and I found
- 2:45Speaker 2: myself struggling with this. Now Quinn Snyder, congrats to was
- 2:48Speaker 2: Atlanta Hawks last night. Well that's a hell of a
- 2:51Speaker 2: shock the garden. And that's a steel of a fourth
- 2:54Speaker 2: quarter that they had. But maybe it was when I
- 2:56Speaker 2: was watching the Color Wheel Spurs Trailblay his game the
- 3:00Speaker 2: other night and as the introductions of the starting lineup,
- 3:04Speaker 2: our old friend Drew Holliday walks out there, Victor when
- 3:07Speaker 2: when Minyama, the place goes absolutely bonkers for and then
- 3:10Speaker 2: I'm looking at Tiago Splitter as the acting head coach.
- 3:16Speaker 2: Had a little bit of a moment there where I
- 3:18Speaker 2: forgot why their regular head coach wasn't there. Yeah, almost
- 3:22Speaker 2: for almost forgot that Chauncey Billups thing feels like it
- 3:25Speaker 2: was a few years ago. But it lose. Oh yeah,
- 3:28Speaker 2: that's right. It was Chauncey and he caught the case.
- 3:30Speaker 2: There we go. That's what it was. They're losing like
- 3:33Speaker 2: the guys in the poker game. And then Mitch Johnson,
- 3:37Speaker 2: I believe I'm rather unfamiliar with his game. Sure right,
- 3:42Speaker 2: Spurs coach, they're the number two seed, right like you
- 3:45Speaker 2: you start seeing it, Drew that the names and in
- 3:48Speaker 2: different guys that a lot of people have thought of
- 3:50Speaker 2: for a long time, and the belief that you gotta
- 3:52Speaker 2: have a veteran or you gotta have a younger. I
- 3:54Speaker 2: don't really know what you have to have. You just
- 3:56Speaker 2: have to have the right group of guys and ultimately
- 3:59Speaker 2: the right play. To just listen to a guy like
- 4:02Speaker 2: David Adleman's kid who is now a Rick Adelman's kid,
- 4:05Speaker 2: David who's now coaching the Nuggets. You could pick him
- 4:08Speaker 2: out of a lineup because and now his team's one
- 4:11Speaker 2: of the better ones in the ball because.
- 4:12Speaker 3: They thought they could do better than Mike Malone was
- 4:14Speaker 3: now obviously with North Carolina. And you know, hey, the
- 4:17Speaker 3: best coach in the ball is maybe Mark Dagnold right.
- 4:19Speaker 3: I mean another guy that was sort of anonymous to
- 4:21Speaker 3: most people for a while. So it is kind of
- 4:23Speaker 3: the era of those anonymous names.
- 4:25Speaker 4: Jav Bickerstaff doing good work in Detroit and where he
- 4:29Speaker 4: could he'd be in Memphis before and where else would
- 4:31Speaker 4: he Cleveland?
- 4:32Speaker 2: I believe Cleveland was his uh was his spot before
- 4:34Speaker 2: that too. Yep.
- 4:35Speaker 4: Yeah, So Taylor Jenkins was here under Bud and could
- 4:39Speaker 4: be the guy. Don't know his relationship with Jah probably
- 4:43Speaker 4: not great.
- 4:43Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't. Well, seemed like it was a little
- 4:46Speaker 2: bit better. Definitely better than the new coach exactly definitely
- 4:49Speaker 2: better than the new coach there in Memphis.
- 4:51Speaker 4: But I think Jo would be a fit in Milwaukee anyway.
- 4:54Speaker 4: But so Taylor Jenkins was at the top of the
- 4:56Speaker 4: list of potentials. I think him Sean Sweeney, who worked
- 4:59Speaker 4: very close with Giannis for years. There's you know a
- 5:03Speaker 4: couple names Sweeney's in San Antonio too, right.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Yeah, and in those two names Drew though they just
- 5:09Speaker 2: they they immediately jumped out to me as names that
- 5:13Speaker 2: you're bringing back, not only because they're the first ones
- 5:17Speaker 2: that you're gonna think of the couple that were in
- 5:19Speaker 2: the building, but also as potential candidates to maybe sway
- 5:24Speaker 2: Yiannis to be thinking differently. Immediately felt like thought of, hey,
- 5:28Speaker 2: let's grab somebody that he at least knows and if
- 5:30Speaker 2: we're going to get one last hail Mary caught on
- 5:34Speaker 2: October first in him to sign the five year, two
- 5:36Speaker 2: hundred and seventy five million dollars super extension. This is
- 5:40Speaker 2: part of the reason, this is part of the route
- 5:41Speaker 2: that we're running a guy. So that was interesting.
- 5:44Speaker 4: And then Janis also made his uh you know, kind
- 5:47Speaker 4: of annual let's get ready to grind in the off
- 5:49Speaker 4: season post.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Mmm did you see that? And and people immediately putting
- 5:53Speaker 2: him in the valley because yeah, because as a Phoenix,
- 5:57Speaker 2: I will rise it will yeah, take it when they
- 6:00Speaker 2: want to, right, Yeah, Well it wasn't that just wild?
- 6:03Speaker 4: But the thing about the coaches is, yes, like, if
- 6:06Speaker 4: you're gonna I said it the other day, what good
- 6:08Speaker 4: job is it? If you have you honest, we're trying
- 6:10Speaker 4: to win a title today. If you don't have GI honest, well,
- 6:13Speaker 4: we're trying to win a title in three years. Yeah,
- 6:16Speaker 4: three three to five inches the parameters.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Yeah, And just like it changed the job for Adrian
- 6:20Speaker 2: Griffin when you brought in Dame Lillard three days before
- 6:23Speaker 2: their first camp.
- 6:23Speaker 4: And you know who might be available in this coaching cycle.
- 6:27Speaker 4: Steve Kerr after losing to Phoenix and not like in
- 6:30Speaker 4: the playoffs. It looks like that may have run its
- 6:32Speaker 4: course now because I think they're at odds. And he
- 6:36Speaker 4: even said he's been dropping hands. You know, sometimes it
- 6:39Speaker 4: gets stale, you know, I don't know. He seems ready
- 6:41Speaker 4: to go, and it seems like it, but Steph and
- 6:45Speaker 4: Draymond both have like one more year left and they're
- 6:47Speaker 4: not like about, you know, a farewell tour. If they
- 6:50Speaker 4: want to hire, they want him to be a five
- 6:51Speaker 4: year commitment. And He's like, I don't know, this might
- 6:55Speaker 4: be something there, But if you could get Steve Kerr,
- 6:57Speaker 4: you think Giannest might have attention, well not.
- 7:00Speaker 2: That would be a fascinating one and I think he
- 7:01Speaker 2: absolutely would would be attentive if that was the case.
- 7:05Speaker 2: To me, Steve Kerr remains a really, really great coach.
- 7:09Speaker 2: It remains a great coach, And it also depends on
- 7:11Speaker 2: how much and if you are thinking that you're gonna
- 7:14Speaker 2: have Giannis and you're going to try to win that.
- 7:16Speaker 2: I know it was internet rumor that was floating around that,
- 7:21Speaker 2: you know, teams are starting to sniff around that somebody
- 7:24Speaker 2: is going to potentially jump from college. If indeed Early
- 7:27Speaker 2: would ever leave Yukon, you would think now would be
- 7:30Speaker 2: the time. And I think he would still want to
- 7:32Speaker 2: go to the Nets or the Knicks before he tried
- 7:34Speaker 2: to go anywhere else outside of the Northeast. But you
- 7:39Speaker 2: take a huge swing again if you believe that you
- 7:43Speaker 2: can keep y honest, and that would be the only
- 7:45Speaker 2: thing I would think would potentially bring him back, because
- 7:49Speaker 2: it feels like a full disconnect right feels like he
- 7:53Speaker 2: he is so set in the ways of I don't know,
- 7:57Speaker 2: and I guess I don't trust the new people that
- 8:00Speaker 2: are around me, the new I don't want not saying
- 8:03Speaker 2: that he's Drake, the newest Packers fan that the internet
- 8:07Speaker 2: was very very excited about. That might cook us, Yeah,
- 8:09Speaker 2: but honest might be saying no new friends. I don't
- 8:12Speaker 2: need anybody else. I had all my good friends that
- 8:15Speaker 2: I had in the Bucks organization, They're all gone. I
- 8:17Speaker 2: don't know that I'm ready and I want to be
- 8:20Speaker 2: joining up with all of these guys. But if if
- 8:23Speaker 2: a guy that has what seven titles around, nine titles around,
- 8:28Speaker 2: if you his time as an executive, as a coach,
- 8:31Speaker 2: and as a player. Yeah, Steve Kerr would maybe change
- 8:33Speaker 2: the conversation a little bit. Yeah, I still know that's
- 8:35Speaker 2: obviously It's not like Draymond basically said it was over
- 8:38Speaker 2: last night on his podcast.
- 8:39Speaker 3: So did.
- 8:40Speaker 2: I don't know what we We'll see about that one.
- 8:42Speaker 2: I mean, anything's possible.
- 8:43Speaker 3: But uh, the no new friends thing is interesting, Billy like,
- 8:46Speaker 3: how does Giannist feel about that?
- 8:48Speaker 2: Does he want kind of that old feeling back?
- 8:50Speaker 3: It seems like that that side of him is always
- 8:52Speaker 3: pulled to missing the old guys and not being comfortable
- 8:55Speaker 3: to change.
- 8:55Speaker 2: So you get at Taylor Jenkins.
- 8:57Speaker 3: And maybe the last vestige of the old guys is
- 9:00Speaker 3: the one guy still is John Horst. Maybe that's the
- 9:02Speaker 3: one guy he would still say, I still you know
- 9:04Speaker 3: you built everything from the ground up. We were both
- 9:06Speaker 3: here together. I still trust you. Are you making this higher?
- 9:10Speaker 3: And is this your higher? And not like you know
- 9:12Speaker 3: the Jimmy Haslam doc rivers like brain trust or you
- 9:15Speaker 3: know who is this is? This is this Wes Edens
- 9:18Speaker 3: and John Horse. I wonder how that whole dynamic plays
- 9:21Speaker 3: into it. But I think that's the that's gonna be
- 9:24Speaker 3: the main factor. As you said, Drew, you know, are
- 9:26Speaker 3: you gonna have you honest or not? And I think
- 9:28Speaker 3: the coach that is okay with that either way or
- 9:32Speaker 3: says to the Bucks, look, I need to have a
- 9:34Speaker 3: deal that prepares me either way for a short window,
- 9:37Speaker 3: a sprint to the title, try to build around a
- 9:40Speaker 3: veteran or rebuild this thing from the ground up. You
- 9:42Speaker 3: know that.
- 9:42Speaker 2: That's the interesting part of this wholee yours.
- 9:45Speaker 4: Gianni's post was this has been one of the toughest
- 9:48Speaker 4: seasons of my career. But as they say, like a
- 9:51Speaker 4: phoenix from the ashes, I'll rise. That made people in
- 9:55Speaker 4: the valley think he's going to Phoenix, which it's just
- 9:57Speaker 4: a saying, people, yeah, say a great saying. He said
- 10:01Speaker 4: to the city of Milwaukee, my all Caps city, thank
- 10:04Speaker 4: you for the unwavering love and support. Now people are saying,
- 10:07Speaker 4: is that a farewell message? That's the first thing I
- 10:10Speaker 4: knew people said in the past. It's just like thank you,
- 10:13Speaker 4: I'm gone, or thank you forever. I'm affirming you as
- 10:16Speaker 4: my place exactly. There's a million ways. It's the way
- 10:22Speaker 4: you can take it.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, shocker, it's it's it's cryptic and it has
- 10:26Speaker 2: you leaving more questions, uh than answers. But I do
- 10:29Speaker 2: also think that for him that's a rather normal uh
- 10:35Speaker 2: anonymous post. I think if there was anything that would
- 10:39Speaker 2: lead me to thinking that he was ready to say goodbye,
- 10:41Speaker 2: it would be showing up at his brother's store and
- 10:44Speaker 2: and everything must go sale potentially before you all get
- 10:48Speaker 2: back up, and taking pictures and signing autographs. That to
- 10:52Speaker 2: me would signal a flair more than him posting thank
- 10:55Speaker 2: you to my city for the unwavering support. So we
- 10:58Speaker 2: don't know which way that's gonna go. There is what.
- 11:02Speaker 4: There's a couple hundred million reasons why he might stay.
- 11:05Speaker 4: There's a lot of reasons he might go. We just
- 11:07Speaker 4: can't read the tea leaves yet.
- 11:09Speaker 2: It's tough in right away though last night and how
- 11:13Speaker 2: I've been starting to watch the early days of the
- 11:15Speaker 2: NBA playoffs. Man, the Hawks go in there and upset
- 11:19Speaker 2: the New York Knicks. Yeah, they're gonna move heaven and
- 11:22Speaker 2: Earth to be trying to make a move for this gay.
- 11:24Speaker 3: The Knicks are gonna be tired of coming up short.
- 11:27Speaker 3: And I agree with you, Billy, of just unfulfilled potential
- 11:31Speaker 3: in that city. They're gonna be tired of it, and
- 11:33Speaker 3: it might be the key to this whole deal. If
- 11:35Speaker 3: a team like the Knicks right does lose to the
- 11:39Speaker 3: Hawks or even late next round, they let's say they
- 11:41Speaker 3: beat the Hawks, they're gonna be desperate to try and
- 11:43Speaker 3: make a move like that.
- 11:44Speaker 2: Does make you wonder how many moves could have been
- 11:47Speaker 2: made differently, Like CJ. McCollum, he goes off for thirty
- 11:50Speaker 2: two last night, helps the Hawks gonna win. I feel
- 11:53Speaker 2: like McCollum's been perpetually available over the last four or
- 11:56Speaker 2: five years. One of those guys traded around a lot,
- 11:59Speaker 2: founced around all over the place. I believe last year
- 12:01Speaker 2: he went he either was in Washington when the Bucks
- 12:05Speaker 2: made the trade with Kuzma and Middleton, or just had
- 12:08Speaker 2: gotten traded to Washington. However, he was in New Orleans
- 12:12Speaker 2: just like hand raised an air like hey please, somebody
- 12:14Speaker 2: come get me, somebody get me out of here. And
- 12:16Speaker 2: then off the bench. There's Jonathan Kamingo with nineteen last
- 12:19Speaker 2: night and Drew the Warriors couldn't get rid of him.
- 12:24Speaker 2: Like the reduced fat or the reduced priced bakery that
- 12:28Speaker 2: Armin's gonna go shot for at the grocery store that
- 12:31Speaker 2: they're just trying to give away today. That's not reduced press.
- 12:36Speaker 2: That's the real thing right there.
- 12:37Speaker 3: I didn't go for the discount sections, trying to help
- 12:39Speaker 3: us hit the sinker today by making a sinker.
- 12:42Speaker 2: Look at you getting up early, getting out there early.
- 12:45Speaker 3: It took the long way to work out a good guess.
- 12:47Speaker 3: So I was like, you know what I'm gonna I'm
- 12:48Speaker 3: gonna slide in and get some glazers.
- 12:51Speaker 2: But yeah, you're right. Kamingo was that guy though. Man,
- 12:53Speaker 2: just anyone and anyone. We're trying to trade in for
- 12:56Speaker 2: two years and now all of a sudden he's up
- 12:57Speaker 2: on a team that's that's in the playoffs and he's
- 12:59Speaker 2: helping out my thing with the Bucks coaches.
- 13:01Speaker 4: If you're gonna go, get this guy target and get
- 13:03Speaker 4: him quick, get him off the market before stuff starts
- 13:05Speaker 4: to shuffle.
- 13:06Speaker 2: But I might want to see if Steve Kerr wanted
- 13:08Speaker 2: to drop by. Yeah that's the tough thing. Pretty good,
- 13:10Speaker 2: But because acting guys, the dudes with jobs right now,
- 13:14Speaker 2: nobody jumps off the page. Nobody likes Steve Kerr. I
- 13:18Speaker 2: know nobody would possibly have the credentials like that, but
- 13:21Speaker 2: otherwise it does come to I'm with you, Drew, get
- 13:24Speaker 2: your guy, get him early, and start to try to
- 13:26Speaker 2: figure out what kind of job he has. Does he
- 13:30Speaker 2: have the job with Giannis or does he have a
- 13:32Speaker 2: job that is going to be Ryan Rollins, Uzman Chang
- 13:36Speaker 2: and Companies. We're going to be part of that decision. Yeah,
- 13:39Speaker 2: I was gonna say, kind of coach sway, Yana's right.
- 13:42Speaker 3: Maybe he's the one a guy that he's connected to.
- 13:44Speaker 3: Only he knows you're honest, I mean how he feels
- 13:47Speaker 3: about that. But if Taylor's your guy, identify him and
- 13:50Speaker 3: just get because you might be in competition with Orlando.
- 13:55Speaker 3: Could be Yeah, no doubt I'd like it.
- 13:57Speaker 2: Jenkins has been available now for a couple of years,
- 13:59Speaker 2: right year and a half, he's been on the market,
- 14:02Speaker 2: so at least at least last hiring cycle. But his
- 14:04Speaker 2: name was probably a little bit dinged last year. Hard
- 14:07Speaker 2: to get a job right out of it right after there.
- 14:09Speaker 2: But there's a possibility. I also think Drew, and this
- 14:12Speaker 2: is where Armand and I had kind of differed over
- 14:15Speaker 2: a while. As the Bucks, I wonder if they're kind
- 14:18Speaker 2: of sick of having to lose twenty pounds right, or
- 14:20Speaker 2: having to get a haircut, having to change their outfit.
- 14:23Speaker 2: If it clearly they're going to take one more chance
- 14:26Speaker 2: and one more shift, maybe get an os ring right,
- 14:29Speaker 2: Maybe do something to try to spice up the relationship
- 14:32Speaker 2: and show him, hey man, I'm still the fun one
- 14:34Speaker 2: over here, because it if he does have one foot out,
- 14:38Speaker 2: I don't think it matters who the coach is, but
- 14:41Speaker 2: if he wants it to sway him, if he's open
- 14:44Speaker 2: to still being wooed and swayed, I think the coach
- 14:47Speaker 2: would be the only higher that you could bring in
- 14:49Speaker 2: that would ultimately remove the needle for him. You were
- 14:52Speaker 2: right billing.
- 14:52Speaker 3: Last year was March twenty eighth, so the Grizzlies fired
- 14:55Speaker 3: him with one with nine games remaining last year, so right.
- 14:58Speaker 2: Before the playoffs, basically sat out one set only one season.
- 15:01Speaker 2: That was a really short kind of situation. And let's
- 15:04Speaker 2: face it, and that's it goes to again.
- 15:07Speaker 4: Bucks have to move quickly because if you're honest, Leaves,
- 15:09Speaker 4: this is down the pecking order of available jobs. Yeah,
- 15:13Speaker 4: there's only the worst job. There's only a handful of
- 15:15Speaker 4: them open every year. If you want to coach, you
- 15:17Speaker 4: better grab it. And it's not a bad lifestyle. Even
- 15:20Speaker 4: coaching a bad team isn't the worst thing in the world.
- 15:22Speaker 2: No, it could be a lot worse for for a
- 15:25Speaker 2: guy like Jenkins, though Drew, or like Sean Sweeney who
- 15:27Speaker 2: would be having his first head coaching job. Would would
- 15:31Speaker 2: it be almost more advantageous for one of them to
- 15:33Speaker 2: have the team without the honest where they can grow
- 15:35Speaker 2: in the role and rule. That's nice to get more
- 15:38Speaker 2: of their fingerprints on it. Interesting because.
- 15:41Speaker 4: You look at the landscape where had Craig Council managed
- 15:44Speaker 4: before he became a manager, like Mike Metheni had some success,
- 15:47Speaker 4: had never managed. Like in baseball, they started to do that,
- 15:49Speaker 4: I think first, where yeah, let's get a guy who
- 15:52Speaker 4: knows ball and get him in there. It doesn't matter
- 15:54Speaker 4: that he's never coached a minor league game, right NBA
- 15:58Speaker 4: who knew that Joe Mizzoula could coach? Sure lapped him
- 16:02Speaker 4: in right, Yeah, JJ Reddick. There's guys like around the
- 16:05Speaker 4: league now it's become the custom. The one place I
- 16:08Speaker 4: guess there was the experiment with Jeff Saturday. But is
- 16:11Speaker 4: there anywhere in the football and the NFL or anything
- 16:13Speaker 4: where you're just gonna slap a guy up there who
- 16:15Speaker 4: hasn't coached.
- 16:16Speaker 2: Is it a good point?
- 16:19Speaker 3: No?
- 16:19Speaker 4: Was the NFL different because it seems like as the
- 16:22Speaker 4: other sports evolved, they have realized that smart people can
- 16:26Speaker 4: step into that job and figure it out, as opposed
- 16:28Speaker 4: to well, you gotta pay your dues and you gotta Yeah,
- 16:30Speaker 4: Aaron Boone went what right off baseball tonight and and
- 16:34Speaker 4: started managing the Yankees Saturday.
- 16:36Speaker 2: Is the only guy that took the swing, is the
- 16:38Speaker 2: only guy that I think got the opportunity, And luckily
- 16:40Speaker 2: it was because of Jim Mersey. At the time, Rivers
- 16:45Speaker 2: and Josh McCown were like the only guys that I
- 16:47Speaker 2: think have been kind of bantered about, Like McCown was
- 16:50Speaker 2: a backup for twenty years and then immediately people like
- 16:53Speaker 2: he could probably call plays, but even then they threw
- 16:56Speaker 2: him as a quarterback coach, and Rivers has been talked
- 16:58Speaker 2: about that was the rumor that he might be the
- 17:00Speaker 2: one that to do reportedly got a head coaching interview
- 17:02Speaker 2: this year with I'm definitely blanking on the team that
- 17:07Speaker 2: he had interviewed with earlier this year. But so there's
- 17:10Speaker 2: there's very very little bits of it, but that is
- 17:13Speaker 2: just true because of the old school heart oh you
- 17:16Speaker 2: need to pay your dues football guy mantras that they've
- 17:19Speaker 2: had for far too long, where I think it could
- 17:22Speaker 2: be kind of anniquated that you absolutely could have somebody
- 17:25Speaker 2: that immediately gives a different perspective of somebody that's been
- 17:27Speaker 2: in a building for nineteen hours a day for the
- 17:29Speaker 2: last twenty years.
- 17:30Speaker 3: Funny thing is the only guy I can think of
- 17:32Speaker 3: historically was Bart Was Bart Starr? I mean, was a
- 17:35Speaker 3: quarterbacks coach for one year but basically played it right.
- 17:39Speaker 3: Obviously a unique situation with an icon of an iconic
- 17:42Speaker 3: franchise and playing for that. But that's the only one
- 17:44Speaker 3: I can really think of, and that makes results.
- 17:46Speaker 4: So if Taylor Jenkins accepts the job, like by the
- 17:49Speaker 4: end of the week, right he's got another meeting schedule
- 17:51Speaker 4: or something met with him last week the Eric name
- 17:54Speaker 4: and Sam Amic put it out. If he accepts the
- 17:57Speaker 4: job and they get their coach, does that make you
- 18:00Speaker 4: think Jannis is more likely to stay or less likely
- 18:02Speaker 4: to stay? Because with Taylor Jenkins jump in to the
- 18:06Speaker 4: Bucks job knowing that there's going to be other jobs
- 18:08Speaker 4: available in the cycle and snapping up early, it makes
- 18:12Speaker 4: sense if the Bucks want him. He's let's face, he's
- 18:14Speaker 4: a top tier candidate, right, He's highly regarded. He's like
- 18:18Speaker 4: the probably the best guy they got, right, they got
- 18:22Speaker 4: was the best guy in the market, and the Bucks
- 18:23Speaker 4: got him because the honest now, well is.
- 18:27Speaker 2: Well, that's what I'm saying.
- 18:28Speaker 4: But if Jenkins gets this job, does it you know,
- 18:32Speaker 4: would you take it if you knew Jannis was leaving
- 18:33Speaker 4: or would you want to have a conversation with the
- 18:35Speaker 4: honest before you took the job?
- 18:36Speaker 2: Probably? Well, that's why I think I think he's definitely
- 18:39Speaker 2: gonna have an amare. However, I don't think it keeps
- 18:43Speaker 2: him from accepting it, Like I I think he's taking
- 18:46Speaker 2: it regardless. He would much rather be coaching it with Giannis. Yeah,
- 18:51Speaker 2: but but I think he's I think.
- 18:52Speaker 4: In Milwaukee, so he knows the charms of our city.
- 18:55Speaker 4: But I'm just saying, take that Orlando job. You're not
- 18:57Speaker 4: paying state income tax. You get better whether you're golfing
- 18:59Speaker 4: after practice, like what does set?
- 19:02Speaker 2: Does he have a sight set anywhere else? And does?
- 19:05Speaker 4: And that's why the Bucks have to act with urgency
- 19:08Speaker 4: because if they do want him, and why wait for
- 19:11Speaker 4: other jobs to open up? Because you know, somebody's gonna
- 19:14Speaker 4: get greased after a first round playoff.
- 19:15Speaker 2: Actually, oh for sure, and this happens well, and it
- 19:18Speaker 2: could be Mike Brown, I mean, like especially if if
- 19:20Speaker 2: the Hawks come out and stun this thing. Dolan just
- 19:22Speaker 2: fired uh Tom Timbeau after they went to the conference finals,
- 19:24Speaker 2: so very much could be to me. It moves it
- 19:28Speaker 2: from like a five to a seven percent chances back
- 19:32Speaker 2: or like a three to six percent chances definitely moves
- 19:35Speaker 2: it a little bit, but I think it's still so small.
- 19:38Speaker 2: I think I think his mind's made up that he
- 19:40Speaker 2: wants to go play somewhere else. And I don't know
- 19:42Speaker 2: that there's anything you're going to be able to change
- 19:45Speaker 2: it with with whoever you end up. Fascinating. Still, that
- 19:47Speaker 2: was our That's the jump off the page.
- 19:50Speaker 4: News is that the Bucks are heading for you know,
- 19:53Speaker 4: moving ahead with their search, which is good they should be,
- 19:55Speaker 4: and that Giannis posted it what he did and being
- 19:57Speaker 4: cryptic as always, and we parse it the way we
- 20:00Speaker 4: did with Farv and Rogers and with all our stars
- 20:02Speaker 4: that are on their way out of the town.
- 20:04Speaker 2: Well, and I'm just excited for now Jannis gets to
- 20:06Speaker 2: be the Instagram guy, right, everything you put on Instagram.
- 20:09Speaker 2: He takes anything off of Instagram and does he scrub
- 20:13Speaker 2: all his bucks content? Remember he did that every year.
- 20:15Speaker 3: Well, she's done that in the past. Yes, I remember
- 20:17Speaker 3: when Kolbe passed, he did the same thing. It's just
- 20:20Speaker 3: what he does, so that never bothered me too much.
- 20:22Speaker 3: But yeah, he is going to be that like everybody.
- 20:24Speaker 3: Instagram is going to be analyzed now.
- 20:26Speaker 4: And by the way, I remember when Taylor Jenkins was
- 20:28Speaker 4: here with Coach budd and they called him to hold
- 20:30Speaker 4: him coach.
- 20:30Speaker 2: He was holding him back. She's always holding them off
- 20:32Speaker 2: the court. It's great to have a legacy like that,
- 20:34Speaker 2: and then you become the man. Life works out.
- 20:37Speaker 4: You can reach out to us eight seven seven seven
- 20:40Speaker 4: nine three. We'll be doing some buying and selling very soon.
- 20:43Speaker 4: We're glad you're up early with us. You're in the huddle.
- 20:46Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin huddled up on a Tuesday, Drew
- 20:56Speaker 4: Billy and Armon bringing it to you, armand scratching it.
- 21:00Speaker 4: Now that he's back behind the board for the second
- 21:02Speaker 4: day in.
- 21:02Speaker 3: Aw Yeah, I felt like I had to play some
- 21:03Speaker 3: Drake just because uh, apparently it's a Packers fan now.
- 21:08Speaker 2: And I don't think that's good.
- 21:09Speaker 3: News necessarily because whatever Drake has touched is not turned
- 21:12Speaker 3: to gold recently.
- 21:13Speaker 2: But Drake was we're in the packers coat. Now, that
- 21:16Speaker 2: could be someone in the crew, Billy. It might just
- 21:17Speaker 2: bet his jacket that it was the best jacket you
- 21:19Speaker 2: ever had, and it could have been cold.
- 21:21Speaker 3: During the video shoot, someone of the crew adit packed.
- 21:24Speaker 3: Because we know about packers jackets. There's nothing more ubiquitous
- 21:27Speaker 3: in the world in the last thirty years than packers jackets.
- 21:30Speaker 2: They're everywhere everybody in this animal.
- 21:32Speaker 4: Just dropped the ubiquitous on us. Bill and it's National
- 21:34Speaker 4: Big Word Day, favorite day of.

- 21:45Speaker 4: They got to move those around the the code huddle yesterday.
- 21:49Speaker 4: Well I'm gonna be feeling quite pugnacious, so hold on.
- 21:52Speaker 2: So they're gonna they're gonna put National uh THHC Celebration
- 21:58Speaker 2: Day right in front of Big Words Day, because the
- 22:01Speaker 2: idea is, you burn and think of all of the
- 22:04Speaker 2: big words you're gonna use the next day. You've been
- 22:06Speaker 2: looking through that.
- 22:06Speaker 3: You've been sitting there, Billy burning, looking through the dictionary
- 22:10Speaker 3: for twenty hours, right, look I love that.
- 22:13Speaker 2: They're like, wait, this guy thought he was reading a book.
- 22:15Speaker 2: He's just been reading a thesaurus. Yeah, oh okay, sounds good.
- 22:18Speaker 2: Now he's ready for ready for National Big Word Day.
- 22:21Speaker 3: And now we haven't quite launched full into buyer Cell
- 22:24Speaker 3: Tuesday yet. But there was sort of a not a
- 22:26Speaker 3: big word, but a word issue that has been haunting
- 22:29Speaker 3: me since fourth grade that I was going to bring
- 22:31Speaker 3: up for buyer Cell Tuesday.
- 22:32Speaker 2: And I don't know if I should wait or just
- 22:33Speaker 2: do it. Go ahead and do it by Tuesday. Just
- 22:37Speaker 2: say a big word problem though it's not like a word.
- 22:40Speaker 2: It was a with a word, but not a big word,
- 22:43Speaker 2: buy our cell Tuesday. I was robbed in fourth grade
- 22:45Speaker 2: at the edge of Elementary Spelling Bee. I was absolutely
- 22:48Speaker 2: robbed in fourth grade edgemin Elementary. I'm in the final
- 22:52Speaker 2: four the spelling Bee. I'm feeling pretty confident I know
- 22:55Speaker 2: more than any of these kids. Basically I knew I
- 22:57Speaker 2: was because because spelling your name as a child gave
- 23:00Speaker 2: you pretty good bad start. This is Greenfield School District,
- 23:04Speaker 2: a good one, but not like you know, so I'm
- 23:06Speaker 2: as good as the West Side School. Okay, you had
- 23:09Speaker 2: to say it and that's fine, all right, Sorry, you
- 23:11Speaker 2: just left it right there. Walked in there. The greenfields
- 23:15Speaker 2: beef is real. Yeah, you'll you'll learn more on the
- 23:18Speaker 2: right side of Latona some some might claim.
- 23:22Speaker 3: But anyway, walked in there like Larry Bird in the
- 23:23Speaker 3: eighty six three point contest, which one of you guys
- 23:26Speaker 3: is finishing second?
- 23:26Speaker 2: Like I did? Good?
- 23:28Speaker 3: So the words alibi just I'm gonna make this story
- 23:30Speaker 3: quick by yourself. Was that rob you g l I
- 23:33Speaker 3: word is aliabet?
- 23:34Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good one.
- 23:34Speaker 3: So uh, the directions to all of us. You walk
- 23:37Speaker 3: up to the mic, you spell the word, You look
- 23:39Speaker 3: to your left to see if you are correct by
- 23:42Speaker 3: the judges, A L I B I.
- 23:44Speaker 2: But I said A L I I.
- 23:48Speaker 3: I realized it was off Mike. I'm like, they might
- 23:50Speaker 3: not have heard, so I said B I. I repeated it.
- 23:53Speaker 3: Long discussion. Judges said, technically, armined, you didn't smell the
- 23:57Speaker 3: word bright. Everyone and everyone in that building knew.
- 24:00Speaker 2: I knew the word. I just repeated it so the
- 24:02Speaker 2: judges can hear. Was I robbed? Yes, No, you spelled
- 24:05Speaker 2: the word wrong into the micro. I thought this would
- 24:07Speaker 2: be controversial. Interesting.
- 24:09Speaker 3: Technically I did spell the word wrong. I said A
- 24:12Speaker 3: L I B I B I Bill and Drew, you
- 24:15Speaker 3: thought I was robbed.
- 24:16Speaker 2: I think you got robbed.
- 24:17Speaker 4: I appreciate that off mic the judges, how far away
- 24:20Speaker 4: are they? And exactly how loud was the stadium full
- 24:23Speaker 4: of people watching? How big was the applause when people
- 24:29Speaker 4: realized that you spelled it right?
- 24:31Speaker 2: Elementary school gym was absolutely packed? Was it buzzing? I
- 24:34Speaker 2: don't know, it felt like it. Well, everyone got out
- 24:36Speaker 2: of class. It was like an assemble eat everything. Was
- 24:38Speaker 2: this the first of the arm and sorry in freak outs? Though?
- 24:40Speaker 2: Did you go full arm and say? What do you mean?
- 24:43Speaker 1: I smelled the word right?
- 24:43Speaker 3: I do it.
- 24:44Speaker 2: I know you deserve me saying I know the word.
- 24:46Speaker 2: I know the word. I just spelled it A B
- 24:48Speaker 2: L I. I said it off the mic, and that's
- 24:50Speaker 2: why I said it over here. You know that I
- 24:52Speaker 2: know the word right. You know that I know how
- 24:53Speaker 2: to spell the word. Why are you not listening to me?
- 24:55Speaker 2: Was that like the first of those freak I got
- 24:57Speaker 2: the chance to state my case the judges. They said, Nicole,
- 25:00Speaker 2: you spelled the wrong and I took it like a
- 25:02Speaker 2: g I sat down start crying frustrated. I think I'd
- 25:05Speaker 2: probably had a couple of tiers in there because I
- 25:07Speaker 2: really wanted to win that one. And uh, you know,
- 25:10Speaker 2: don't worry. It's like if Dan Jansen never would have
- 25:12Speaker 2: won that race.
- 25:13Speaker 3: Everyone knows you're still the best sprint of the world man,
- 25:15Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Everyone knows Dan.
- 25:17Speaker 2: But he got the golden so he affirmed it. I
- 25:20Speaker 2: never affirmed it, you know what I mean. So that
- 25:22Speaker 2: was tough. That was tough for me, so buyer cell,
- 25:24Speaker 2: So is that why you got in the radio to
- 25:26Speaker 2: be able to prove that you know big words and
- 25:28Speaker 2: that you can spell him, just to verify and right
- 25:31Speaker 2: that wrong her five thirty one on Tuesday morning. Would
- 25:34Speaker 2: love to say that, but it's not true. That's not
- 25:36Speaker 2: the reason. But that long term play drew. That would
- 25:40Speaker 2: have been a get back at those judges that they
- 25:42Speaker 2: had no idea. So you were wronged in fourth grade
- 25:46Speaker 2: and it's not like it's not at you all these years.
- 25:48Speaker 1: No, not like it.
- 25:49Speaker 2: Yeah, but I guess not a big word on that.
- 25:52Speaker 4: Here's one for you, like two years, two years older
- 25:55Speaker 4: than that. This happened to me on the athletic court,
- 25:57Speaker 4: sixth grade, playing a game. Thomas Jeff against Ben Franklin
- 26:01Speaker 4: rivals up.
- 26:03Speaker 2: Great names for schools, great names for school yeah for
- 26:05Speaker 2: a competitors.
- 26:07Speaker 4: So we're playing them, and coach had this thing where
- 26:10Speaker 4: you either played the first half or the second half
- 26:12Speaker 4: for our squad, and so I was playing.
- 26:13Speaker 2: I started the second half.
- 26:15Speaker 4: The opening tip comes to my direction and I get
- 26:19Speaker 4: it and I crossed mid court and I go coast
- 26:21Speaker 4: to coast.
- 26:22Speaker 2: And lay the ball in for a layup. Awesome, scored
- 26:25Speaker 2: within my first like ten seconds of buckets. But then
- 26:29Speaker 2: then a message.
- 26:30Speaker 4: The zip faced high school of refs reffing a sixth
- 26:33Speaker 4: grade basketball game realized that, oh, we just started the
- 26:36Speaker 4: second half and we forgot to have you change sides.
- 26:38Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Yes, So they said that I scored
- 26:41Speaker 2: a basket for the other team. Whoa, whoa, whoa whoahoa
- 26:45Speaker 2: not because of your user error.
- 26:46Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 26:47Speaker 4: I'm like, well, wait a minute, you had us you
- 26:49Speaker 4: did this was a jump ball to start the half
- 26:51Speaker 4: at center court, and you had us lined up wrong.
- 26:54Speaker 4: So I'm we're penalized for your screw up. And there's
- 26:58Speaker 4: an actual rule in basketball which these guys did not know,
- 27:02Speaker 4: but rule four five four if by mistake the officials
- 27:05Speaker 4: point a team going the wrong direction when discovered, all
- 27:07Speaker 4: points scored, falls committed, and time consumed shall count as
- 27:10Speaker 4: if each team had gone in the proper direction. Bucket,
- 27:14Speaker 4: and then we switch up. I got robbed, and I
- 27:17Speaker 4: was you know, I knew I had been wrong, and
- 27:20Speaker 4: I was like, I should have gotten a tech. I
- 27:21Speaker 4: should have probably been ejected because I'm sixth grade and
- 27:24Speaker 4: these guys are high school and they could have stuffed
- 27:26Speaker 4: me in a locker. But I was politicking and lawyer,
- 27:29Speaker 4: and I'm like, you gotta be kidding me.
- 27:31Speaker 2: You got to be better than this. You know, we
- 27:34Speaker 2: look forward to this game all season. What are you doing?
- 27:37Speaker 2: This is what we're getting showed up with.
- 27:39Speaker 4: This is bogus, and like, so, you know, I ended
- 27:41Speaker 4: up being you know, I took so much grief from
- 27:43Speaker 4: my team. Of course for a long time, like I
- 27:46Speaker 4: was the leading scorer for the other team.
- 27:48Speaker 2: But then you also righted the wrong and dropped twenty
- 27:50Speaker 2: probably in the second half, and won the game, probably
- 27:53Speaker 2: probably not. I was pissed.
- 27:55Speaker 3: Marquete Yukon in twenty thirteen. This happened in the Biggies opener.
- 27:58Speaker 3: I was at the game in the Bradley Center, and
- 28:01Speaker 3: it was they they faced the wrong baskets for overtime.
- 28:04Speaker 3: Yukon had started with a goaltend, so they would have
- 28:08Speaker 3: gotten two points, but they took it away and they
- 28:10Speaker 3: nullified it because it was going.
- 28:11Speaker 2: Toward the wrong basket.
- 28:12Speaker 3: I remember you kind of fans were upset about it,
- 28:14Speaker 3: and Marquette won that game in overtime.
- 28:15Speaker 2: I was happy about it. Oh wow, but that but
- 28:18Speaker 2: that happened, that's super impactful. Yeah, that's Uh. There was
- 28:21Speaker 2: a Drew. I was a C y M basketball player
- 28:24Speaker 2: in the the High School Church League of the whatever
- 28:28Speaker 2: Sunday School. They played Padre Sarah Tournament. Yeah, so I
- 28:30Speaker 2: think it was our sophomore junior year.
- 28:33Speaker 3: Now.
- 28:33Speaker 2: I was still a pear shaped teenager at this point,
- 28:37Speaker 2: so there were limitations athletically that I had, right and
- 28:40Speaker 2: and quite significantly. Uh so we're playing in a Saturday
- 28:45Speaker 2: ten am game, right, so same deal. College refs. Definitely
- 28:49Speaker 2: waking up rather hungover and coming out to sweat out
- 28:51Speaker 2: the booze. We're in the layup lines, your boys trying
- 28:55Speaker 2: to show off. There might or may or may not
- 28:58Speaker 2: have been one to two girls. Had to make sure
- 29:01Speaker 2: that you were able to show that you do have
- 29:04Speaker 2: some kind of marginal athleticism. So your boy is slapping
- 29:07Speaker 2: glass a right every layup bo right in there, you know,
- 29:12Speaker 2: lay it up, tap that, tap that backboard, just to showcase. Hey,
- 29:16Speaker 2: you know, boy got up. Might have been one full
- 29:19Speaker 2: phone book. I jumped off, I jumped over at that
- 29:21Speaker 2: particular point. Well, really try to spice it up. Why
- 29:25Speaker 2: don't we grab I see if we can grab the
- 29:27Speaker 2: net or no, we're not grabbing the rim, But what
- 29:30Speaker 2: if I can just get a little bit, a little
- 29:31Speaker 2: bit of that back orange pipe or it starts dripping
- 29:36Speaker 2: down a tick? Oh what they did? They throw the
- 29:38Speaker 2: letter on you? You well, you know I missed. I
- 29:42Speaker 2: can't touch the rim. I can't touch the rim. I
- 29:44Speaker 2: would love to touch the rim. I can't. I'm fat,
- 29:48Speaker 2: all right, I understand the problem. Everybody in here knows
- 29:51Speaker 2: the situation. Yes, Zach Randolf game is a perfect way
- 29:54Speaker 2: of explaining how I wasn't in see why I am basketball?
- 29:58Speaker 2: And this old boy comes up up after layup lines
- 30:02Speaker 2: and goes, hey, sir, just say you know thirty five
- 30:04Speaker 2: can't play? Can't play, can't play? What do you mean
- 30:09Speaker 2: he's been injected? Oh my gosh, they ejected you for
- 30:13Speaker 2: grabbing and taunting on the rim, and I walked, my brother.
- 30:18Speaker 2: I really appreciate your belief in me. I know, for
- 30:22Speaker 2: damn sure, I didn't touch that rim because I can't
- 30:24Speaker 2: get up that high. I eject you for that layup
- 30:26Speaker 2: line because well because in the park View Parochial whatever
- 30:30Speaker 2: cym rule book, thou shalt not use the Lord's name
- 30:35Speaker 2: in vain was number one. Thou shalt not touch the
- 30:38Speaker 2: rim and taunt the other team was number two. Apparently, commandments,
- 30:42Speaker 2: not only did your boy get in the overtime testament
- 30:45Speaker 2: kicked out for that game? Testament, not only I get
- 30:48Speaker 2: kicked out for that game, I had to serve a
- 30:51Speaker 2: one game suspension. I was like a junior in high school.
- 31:00Speaker 2: It wasn't third grade or something, but that's still sill.
- 31:03Speaker 4: God.
- 31:03Speaker 2: So yeah, so I I enjoyed that we picked up
- 31:06Speaker 2: this cap because you know what, I was wronged by
- 31:07Speaker 2: whatever individual that is right there. I imagine there's a
- 31:10Speaker 2: lot of good losses through their youth or through sporting youth.
- 31:15Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and beyond that, folks have on the talking
- 31:17Speaker 2: text line it wrong National Big Word Day. And I
- 31:24Speaker 2: was reminded because Arm and dropped a ubiquitous on us. Wow,
- 31:28Speaker 2: that is so good. Thank you very much. I appreciate.
- 31:30Speaker 2: So you have a number of other ones holstered up
- 31:33Speaker 2: for us here today that we can be uh does.
- 31:38Speaker 3: But it would be it wouldn't be right if they
- 31:41Speaker 3: didn't come on organically and naturally they have to come naturally,
- 31:44Speaker 3: you know, naturally.
- 31:47Speaker 2: I can't just you know, you know you can't.
- 31:49Speaker 3: And just start throwing them out there just you know,
- 31:52Speaker 3: just ridiculous. That would be ridiculous. That would be absurd.
- 31:55Speaker 2: I'm not doing that. That would be absurd. That would
- 31:57Speaker 2: be ridiculous. REDI not. They told Arm the world was wrong,
- 32:00Speaker 2: and he took that personally aly personally a bia by Yeah,
- 32:05Speaker 2: alibia bye. I knew that word. Great name for a bar,
- 32:08Speaker 2: the Alibi. I was like, it is a good name.
- 32:11Speaker 3: I'm getting past this ward, I'm I've got glory in
- 32:13Speaker 3: my head. I was just thinking about all the things,
- 32:15Speaker 3: all the girls I was gonna gett in fourth grade
- 32:17Speaker 3: because I won the smelling bee.
- 32:20Speaker 2: I did. I did. I started to see I started
- 32:22Speaker 2: to see shiny objects. Guys. That's that. That's what happened
- 32:25Speaker 2: to me.
- 32:25Speaker 4: So one eight seven seven seven we'll get to the
- 32:29Speaker 4: buying and selling portion of the program.
- 32:32Speaker 2: We got to talk some draft today because it's getting
- 32:34Speaker 2: ever closer, Billy, you better believe it. We're just a
- 32:36Speaker 2: couple of days away. And uh, you know, the big
- 32:39Speaker 2: talk is why is fernandoman nose I'm not going to
- 32:41Speaker 2: Pittsburgh and said there's another quarterback apparently not in Pittsburgh
- 32:45Speaker 2: that people had more of a conversation about yesterday. Well,
- 32:48Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about that as we move forward. Our
- 32:51Speaker 2: draft coverage this week brought to us by Pottawatamy Casino Hotel.
- 32:55Speaker 2: Billy and Wayne Larvie will be chopping it up Thursday night.
- 32:59Speaker 2: Friday will be an online show because of the Admirals
- 33:01Speaker 2: playoff and ten to seventy in Madison, So we will
- 33:04Speaker 2: be on ten seventy in Madison all three days. As
- 33:07Speaker 2: you mentioned, ninety nine to twenty on Thursday and Saturday
- 33:13Speaker 2: seven to ten on night one, six to eleven. We're
- 33:17Speaker 2: going for a wide high five hours there on Friday
- 33:21Speaker 2: night because the Packers have two potentially three picks, and
- 33:24Speaker 2: Saturday all the sickos will be hanging out with us
- 33:27Speaker 2: coming up on Saturday because that's really when it's further ground.
- 33:30Speaker 4: Even with nothing to really pay attention to, because I
- 33:32Speaker 4: don't think the Packers are going to trade into the
- 33:33Speaker 4: first round in this draft. I don't think there's really
- 33:36Speaker 4: enough depth of talent for them to make that amenable.
- 33:40Speaker 4: But even in this case, I'm interested to see how
- 33:43Speaker 4: the first round goes because there's got to be drama
- 33:45Speaker 4: somewhere in the draft. There's no Shador Sanders falling to
- 33:48Speaker 4: the fifth round, but it's gonna be drama, and then
- 33:51Speaker 4: the quicker picks will be interesting to watch. So the
- 33:53Speaker 4: pacing of the first round will fascinate me. I'm big
- 33:56Speaker 4: fan of the pacing, big fan of the pacing.
- 33:58Speaker 2: Wayne Larmie and I put our heads together, put our
- 34:01Speaker 2: notes together, grabbed a sandwich in an unsweetened iced tea yesterday, yeah,
- 34:04Speaker 2: and solved a lot of the draft problems.
- 34:07Speaker 3: Right.
- 34:07Speaker 2: I want to be I want to be on a
- 34:09Speaker 2: fly on the wall for the Wayne and Billy prep.
- 34:12Speaker 2: No doubt you could have been one of the six
- 34:14Speaker 2: kids right behind, screaming throughout the entire We.
- 34:16Speaker 4: We'll discuss geez as we move ahead. It is the
- 34:20Speaker 4: Huddle on Fox Sports Radio Wisconsin. The Huddle rolls along
- 34:28Speaker 4: on a Tuesday in the good Land, Drew Billy and
- 34:31Speaker 4: armand armand still getting his bearings behind the board.
- 34:35Speaker 2: You know what I'll take. I'll take the blame there,
- 34:37Speaker 2: I will I will take the blame there having a
- 34:40Speaker 2: coffee clutch were you? We are having too much fun
- 34:42Speaker 2: of this at the coffee pot. The thing is, when
- 34:44Speaker 2: Dolf comes in here for the halftime report today, I
- 34:46Speaker 2: need him to put me on game because Drew, your
- 34:49Speaker 2: boys going through a little bit of a morning routine shift. Well,
- 34:53Speaker 2: I know you got the glasses on. You're not contacted
- 34:56Speaker 2: up yet, dude. My allergies are just going off the
- 35:00Speaker 2: rails right now. So like so we're so we're trying
- 35:02Speaker 2: to so we're trying to do some things. We're trying
- 35:03Speaker 2: to change some things up. But now I'm on Dolph's
- 35:06Speaker 2: coffee game. Uh so I have been drinking more of
- 35:09Speaker 2: the station coffee and I'm never gonna take away say
- 35:13Speaker 2: no to free coffee.
- 35:14Speaker 4: Well, yeah, that's been one of my rants forever is
- 35:16Speaker 4: why do coffee drinkers get their their habits subsidized and
- 35:19Speaker 4: I have to pay for soda?
- 35:20Speaker 2: I was gonna say nine nine excuse me'sdogus.
- 35:26Speaker 4: And why do smokers get an extra week of vacation
- 35:29Speaker 4: that we don't get when they're standing outside chuffing.
- 35:31Speaker 2: That doesn't happen anymore, though, do they? There's still people
- 35:34Speaker 2: they do. Yeah, you still get some see the butts outside.
- 35:36Speaker 3: People will still smoke. I'm like, do people actually quote
- 35:39Speaker 3: unquote get a smoke break though?
- 35:41Speaker 2: Like? Does that just take one? You just take one?
- 35:43Speaker 2: You just walk out there just enjoy I do that too, smoke.
- 35:46Speaker 2: But I get your point. Well, if you want to,
- 35:48Speaker 2: we'll help out. But uh so, I'm when when Dolph
- 35:51Speaker 2: comes in your halftime, he makes by far the best
- 35:54Speaker 2: free coffee in the building. Right, Nobody is able to
- 35:57Speaker 2: touch his his can in there because it might not
- 36:01Speaker 2: be the highest grade of brew and of grounds that
- 36:06Speaker 2: we're getting here at the radio station. Right, So he
- 36:08Speaker 2: mixes it just right. I'm trying to have him put
- 36:10Speaker 2: me on game because I was back there cooking it up.
- 36:12Speaker 2: I was back there's a little a little dash of sentiment,
- 36:16Speaker 2: maybe that will work. Maybe a little splice here, maybe
- 36:18Speaker 2: a little ticket decalf on top of this, right, maybe
- 36:20Speaker 2: a little flavor profile. And Arman was just enjoying it.
- 36:23Speaker 2: So I apologize. I'm the one I kept him too
- 36:26Speaker 2: of a captive audience into my care because of the coffee.
- 36:31Speaker 2: You know what, I have to blame myself. I have
- 36:32Speaker 2: to look at it. Take accountability here, looking at myself
- 36:35Speaker 2: in the mirror.
- 36:35Speaker 3: Here.
- 36:35Speaker 2: I didn't have to chop it up with you, billy.
- 36:37Speaker 2: I could have been more aware of what was going on.
- 36:39Speaker 2: Coffee is for closers. Put that coffee down. Sorry, And yeah,
- 36:42Speaker 2: I have a mental clock. Far I'm far too entertaining
- 36:45Speaker 2: for you to just walk away from the right.
- 36:47Speaker 3: I have a mental clock in my ears of radio
- 36:49Speaker 3: that rarely fails me. That I usually have just an
- 36:51Speaker 3: instinct for how much times up in the break.
- 36:52Speaker 4: And today you know, it is funny because when you
- 36:54Speaker 4: do work in our jobs, and you know how long
- 36:56Speaker 4: breaks are. When you are watching a show, network show
- 37:00Speaker 4: or a new show or even a sporting event and
- 37:02Speaker 4: they go to commercial break, you know, all right, I
- 37:05Speaker 4: have enough time to go to the bathroom and put
- 37:07Speaker 4: the move the move the clothes from the washing machine
- 37:10Speaker 4: to the dryer, and I have and then settle back
- 37:13Speaker 4: in and you do get back in time usually.
- 37:15Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's where I do appreciate the sub streamers
- 37:17Speaker 2: putting up how much time is left in the break?
- 37:20Speaker 2: Oh sweet three minutes and twenty seven seconds. I got
- 37:22Speaker 2: that pretty down though. Yeah, I love that one. That Yeah, yes, yes,
- 37:26Speaker 2: well Arman be better.
- 37:31Speaker 3: Here.
- 37:31Speaker 4: Yeah eight seven seven seven four Nicolay Law dot Com
- 37:35Speaker 4: talk and text on away on a buyer sell Tuesday,
- 37:38Speaker 4: and uh, we're firing it up early.
- 37:40Speaker 2: Arman broke the seal you're buying? Are selling that?
- 37:43Speaker 4: I think Ben Johnson's arrival in Chicago may have you
- 37:49Speaker 4: know it, and the bears recent kind of resurgence has
- 37:53Speaker 4: circumvented what could have been the sparks of I don't
- 37:58Speaker 4: want to say rejuvenating or deep in the Wisconsin Michigan
- 38:02Speaker 4: rivalry because the Burrs was getting ready to play the Tigers.
- 38:05Speaker 4: If someone asked me, are the Tigers did they used
- 38:06Speaker 4: to be a rival in the American League days.
- 38:07Speaker 2: I'm like they were just there. They're kind of there.
- 38:09Speaker 4: Passing wasn't like you appreciate it back when they had
- 38:13Speaker 4: you know, Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker, And yeah, they
- 38:15Speaker 4: played some competitive games, but there wasn't like a lot
- 38:18Speaker 4: of animus that I'm aware of on that side of
- 38:20Speaker 4: the lake, whereas you know, maybe it's a up thing.
- 38:24Speaker 2: The DMZ is the up.
- 38:27Speaker 4: But we kind of like tolerate Michigan, Like, is anybody
- 38:29Speaker 4: really mad at Michigan the Badgers. For years basketball was
- 38:33Speaker 4: Michigan State, and football we hated Michigan just because they
- 38:35Speaker 4: were all mighty Blue and they would roll in and
- 38:37Speaker 4: beat the Badgers fifty four to nothing every year. But
- 38:41Speaker 4: I don't since a long deep hatred between Wisconsin and Michigan.
- 38:47Speaker 2: No, And it's one of the reasons why Drew I
- 38:50Speaker 2: think you saw Packers fans almost like downright sheering for
- 38:54Speaker 2: the Lions to make the Super Bowl a couple of
- 38:56Speaker 2: years ago. Yeah, right, it was. There's almost like a
- 38:58Speaker 2: little like a like a sibling rivalry, not even rivalry,
- 39:01Speaker 2: just a sibling enjoyment and seeing some satisfaction seeing the
- 39:06Speaker 2: little brother have have some success. But now they got
- 39:08Speaker 2: real chesty, especially Detroit Lions fans got real chesty in
- 39:13Speaker 2: their three years of relevance, even when the Pistons were good.
- 39:16Speaker 4: And Arman backed me up on this, the bad Boy
- 39:17Speaker 4: era and stuff, and like, if you're a Bucks fan,
- 39:21Speaker 4: you didn't have them in the same compartment, in the
- 39:24Speaker 4: same basket as the Celtics in the seventy six ers.
- 39:26Speaker 3: I was just funny to say, because I was racking
- 39:28Speaker 3: my brain trying to think of any kind of tenuous
- 39:31Speaker 3: moments between the Bucks Pistons or even Brewers Tigers. Don't
- 39:35Speaker 3: remember any fights Bucks Pistons, not even then. I think
- 39:38Speaker 3: part of it was because the Bucks had kind of
- 39:40Speaker 3: exited their eighties dominance by the time the Pistons were champions.
- 39:44Speaker 3: At that time, it pretty much it was like the
- 39:45Speaker 3: Jay Humphries Alvin Robertson Bucks. There was no more like
- 39:49Speaker 3: Championship Ken Tender Bucks in.
- 39:51Speaker 2: Like ninety eight, ninety one or eighty nine. So I
- 39:53Speaker 2: don't think so.
- 39:54Speaker 3: I do remember one time going to a Bucks Pistons
- 39:57Speaker 3: game and the whole crowd of the Brothers and Ore
- 39:59Speaker 3: healing that house sucks at Jerry Stackhouse.
- 40:02Speaker 2: There was a little bit of business for him there.
- 40:03Speaker 3: But even back then, it was like Grant Hill was
- 40:06Speaker 3: gonna be the next guy to take over, and everyone
- 40:07Speaker 3: loved grand Hill, you know, he was like the America's boy,
- 40:10Speaker 3: you know.
- 40:11Speaker 2: So I was like, everyone loved Grand Hills. So I
- 40:13Speaker 2: don't remember any of that stuff. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't.
- 40:15Speaker 2: It just doesn't stem. It doesn't engender the same disdain.
- 40:20Speaker 2: But also, I mean, if we really want to spice
- 40:22Speaker 2: it up, it should be Lake Milwaukee. Let's be honest,
- 40:26Speaker 2: it should be Lake Milwaukee. So maybe we maybe we
- 40:29Speaker 2: get into that deal, would just start, maybe we just
- 40:31Speaker 2: start that battle for it. Gulf of America, the Lake Wisconsin, Yeah,
- 40:34Speaker 2: lake Wisconsin. But in all reality, the up is Wisconsin,
- 40:38Speaker 2: right like it is really it really is Wisconsin. And
- 40:41Speaker 2: it's folks that want to be Wisconsin ice. That's where
- 40:43Speaker 2: they have to live in Michigan for you know, greener pastures.
- 40:47Speaker 4: When the Lions fans took off, the took the bags
- 40:50Speaker 4: off their heads and started proudly wearing their Honolulu blue,
- 40:52Speaker 4: and we were there abilly when they invaded Lambeau and
- 40:54Speaker 4: oh yeah, how a job of takeovers when they were
- 40:56Speaker 4: feeling themselves right, That's when we came upon the idea
- 41:00Speaker 4: that this game every year, like the Packers Lions series,
- 41:03Speaker 4: should be played for the up, for the rights to
- 41:06Speaker 4: the You get the up for you get, you get
- 41:07Speaker 4: tax revenue, you get you know, we get their dispensaries.
- 41:11Speaker 2: Yes, yes, but they're still legal. We still get their laws.
- 41:15Speaker 2: We just get the Big and Iron Mountain for skiing.
- 41:18Speaker 4: You know that's that should be The traveling trophy should
- 41:22Speaker 4: be is who owns the up this year? Should be
- 41:25Speaker 4: based on maybe the combined records of the the bucks
- 41:29Speaker 4: and the Pistons and the packers and the lions.
- 41:32Speaker 2: It could be like that Capitol One College Cup that
- 41:35Speaker 2: they were all playing for. We stack all of them
- 41:37Speaker 2: together and at the end of the year, who ends
- 41:39Speaker 2: up getting to take sage run? Who ends up getting
- 41:43Speaker 2: those golf courses up at Escanaba and all the great
- 41:45Speaker 2: spots of the fire stations.
- 41:46Speaker 3: Across they let me tell you something, Mcan Islands is quaint.
- 41:50Speaker 3: It's nice, but there's a lot. There's too much horsepoop
- 41:53Speaker 3: on that island. It's all horses. There's no cars, so
- 41:56Speaker 3: it smells like horse poop everywhere. And I don't need
- 41:59Speaker 3: that much fudge. I mean, there's nothing but fudge on
- 42:02Speaker 3: that small island. There's like seventeen fudgeris. You can't swing
- 42:06Speaker 3: a cat around without hitting fud and you're and you're
- 42:08Speaker 3: you're out. You're stepping around horsepoop all day. So it
- 42:12Speaker 3: was nice for a day and a half.
- 42:13Speaker 2: It was great.
- 42:14Speaker 3: When I went there, it was quaint. Went to a
- 42:16Speaker 3: wedding but you can't walk in the grass and it's
- 42:18Speaker 3: all horse poop, so there you go, or eat on
- 42:20Speaker 3: the street. It's everywhere.
- 42:23Speaker 2: Well there you have it by your sell. I mean
- 42:24Speaker 2: it's too much horsepoop on the back on the island.
- 42:28Speaker 4: I just saying, Harman, did you just invent a word?
- 42:30Speaker 4: Because I looked up fudger in the dictionary? Uh Merriam Webster.
- 42:34Speaker 2: Fudger.
- 42:36Speaker 4: Yeah, a worker in a shoe factory who finishes the
- 42:39Speaker 4: edge of a soul.
- 42:39Speaker 2: Didn't know what, but I'll take it. Doesn't have anything
- 42:43Speaker 2: to do with the chocolate delectable treat, just saying.
- 42:46Speaker 4: Yeah, or the urban the National Big Word Day. Armand's
- 42:49Speaker 4: in his bag right now. We're having some fun on
- 42:51Speaker 4: the huddle Fox Sports Radio, Wisconsin,
