• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Been feeding the beat step Smith highlight reel.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they've been feeding the beast of the Jannis rumors. Now,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: there was a lot of other shiny objects in the
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: NBA yesterday, a lot of trade, some blockbusters at it Trade, Memphis, Utah.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: James Harden of course, trying to carve a path to.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Finally get ask for it though he didn't ask didn't
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: ask for it, didn't ask for it, appreciated them doing it.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: They got to the honest thing, and they basically were
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: recycling all the same things about these teams are making
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: aggressive offers and the bucks are counteroffering, and there's offers,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: and are the box going to trade Jannis now or
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: in the summer?
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, I raised my hand. I'm like, yeah,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Drew from Milwaukee for a long time listener. First, I
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: called r pal.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Jim Osarski had a story and talked with Giannis last
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: night and he said a lot of amazing things. And
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: they apparently they don't get the internet in Bristol or
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: it's delayed coming out of Milwaukee, because there was no
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: mention of what Joanna's told the Journal Sentinel. Because in
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: this breach of information with all speculation and no one
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: on the record, and no one that who do you
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: want to hear from in the story? You want to
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: hear from Shamsmore, You want hear from Ryan Windhorse? Do
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: you want to hear a Shelborne man himself?
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: You want to hear from you? Honest waiting for it? Wait? Wait,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: when did you guys see this?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Because I was a I was like Billy, I had
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: to take a little potty break and I got the
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: alert and I saw it. Well, Drew that that's the
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: that's funny that you said that, because uh, I did
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: roll over last night, in the midst of a thirty
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: one nothing run from the AFC and and I thought,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I thought I could put the kids to bed. I
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: thought I thought the Flag Football Pro Bowl was over
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: and rolled over, and I kind of dozed off for
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: a good twenty thirty minutes. And then I got a
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: series of tweets, uh, and one from an old friend
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: of mine ball boy friend of mine said, Jimmy O
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: just dunked all over. Hold on, hold on, I'm gonna
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: have to have to fire up that old Blue Sky app.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: He gotta go see it.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: You gotta go see if the if the numbers are
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: on there. Instead the handy dandy Milwaukee Journal Sentinel app
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: as well JS online already had the story right at
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: the front, rightfully so. And I got it at about
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: nine th last night, enjoyed it, scrolled for a while,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: kept myself up for an extra forty five minutes because
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the clear his Day quotes that it felt like you
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: got from Sam Amic you kind of got doubled down
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: upon by Jimmy Oh. And it does also show where
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: maybe the conversation has changed a little bit more inside
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: of five or forman inside the Milwaukee Bucks offices than
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: we were giving a little bit of credits. I am
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: now absolutely ninety nine point nine percent convinced that Giannest
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: will not be moved at the deadline that fast, that
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: he's not moved at the dead Yeah, seems that way.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: It's his camp, like, it's just so jimozars. So he
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: got him after as the Bucks were getting ready to play.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Giannis didn't play last night against the Bulls. Obviously he's out.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Bucks won the game against the Bulls, which was nice.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Kyle Kuzma something man thirty one points you auditioning. But
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Jimmy's story as the Bucks were getting ready, he got
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: him outside the Lauder in the hallway and he's joking
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: with people and he gets some serious and.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: The money quote was, you know, the question was what
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: do you want? What do you want? Like Ryan Gosling
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: right in the notebook, what do you want? You want?
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: What do you want? The question you ask every night
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: for dinner.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: You know, Yanna said what I want deep down in
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: my heart is I want to be a Milwaukee Buck
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: for the rest of my career and win.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Here.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Man, that's emotional when you see that in print, it is,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: you know, like for me at least it was Hey.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: The outlined how he came back too quickly from his
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: first calf strain to get hurt again, and he said
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: the team told him to come out in the first quarter.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I said, f No, I'm not coming out. I'm playing.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Why do I play because I have something, I'm chasing something,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: or because I love my team? I play because I
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: bleed green. I play because I know what I've built
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: here for me. It's a huge puzzle. It's a huge
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: lego piece that I've built, and I don't like people
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: taking out pieces from it.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I want to keep on building as much as I can.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Love that. What does that show? Does that show a
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: guy that's not going to be here? Is that what
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: my action show?
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I can tell you whatever I want, but what do
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: my actions show that I want to be here?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I want to be here with people that know what
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: it takes to win.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, And in that say those become money quotes as well.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Later on into this, he goes.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: On to say, this is probably going to be the
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: best story in twenty years. They're going to be talking
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: about this story right here. I came here when I
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: was eighteen, a human being. When is the time they
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: have the earliest memories around the age of what four
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: or five, right, So from five to eighteen is thirteen
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: years from the time I could remember. I came here
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: from eighteen to thirty one, which is thirteen years. I've
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: spent more time in Milwaukee, Wisconsin than in my country,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: preferring degrees, I've created more memories in this city than
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: in my country. The only memory I know for my
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: country is sell stuff in the street, go to practice,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: live and fear. Protect my brothers as much as I can.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Be a good kid, be a kind kid. So here,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I've known here. I've known what
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: it is to be an NBA player, what it is
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: to make it to the NBA. I've learned what it
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: is to be an All Star player. I've learned how
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: to be a champion. I've learned how to be an MVP.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I've learned how to be a father. I got married
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and also legally from the courthouse. And
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: also I've had my kids here. My father is buried here.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: So tell me when I opened the passport of my
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: kids and it says born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: My dad is buried here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: So people have the audacity to come and tell me
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: this guy really doesn't love Milwaukee.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I don't love Milwaukee.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Not the people that know the people the city know
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: how much I love them. This city has let me
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: be myself, let me be a father, let me be
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: a husband, and have let me be my own true self.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I'm walking in the street.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: People don't bother me, but there's gonna be the whole
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: other people because here's eight billion people in this world
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: that have their own opinion. Opinions are cheap. That's why
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: everybody has one. He didn't go to the analogy that
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: we all went to that your dad would.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Censorship.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: They let me be myself in the city, and I
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: asked for one thing, one thing only.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: And then Jimmy put those periods in because that's the
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: way Yannest talks.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: To make to bring joy back to this city, because
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: this city deserves it. We've been at the top, and
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I know we can have down years, but we have
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: to continue to have the mindset period Okay, And if
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: that's not the case, then I've seen the love of
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: the people and what they wish for me. If that's
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: not the case, and people have different agendas within our
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: own team.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Something's got to change, that's all.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: This is where it gets heagy, because right now you're
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: all like, okay, great, and this is where I thought
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: it got juicy, and this is where it gets hedgy
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: and like this whole thing. Asked what his input into
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: the discussions about the trading deadline, he said, zero zero.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not involved in talking about a trade. I'm just
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: an employee now, Okay. So then Jimmy goes on with
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: some expository stuff about how you know Giannis's biological clock
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: is ticking thirty one years old, thirteen teen years in
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: the league. He says he will not say he's lost
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: faith in the ability of the ownership and John Horset
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: to build a contending roster around him.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: He said about that, I always listen. That's why I'm
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: still here. I always listen and trust.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: But what I'm trying to say, how many chances do
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I have left to win a championship? You just got
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: to be more careful and more urgent in every decision
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: that you make moving forward. It doesn't change. I think
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I've listened since day one and that will never change.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: I have great respect, love, and likeness for John and
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: the ownership and that they will never be different, they
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: won't change. But at the end of the day, and
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: then Jim Ozarski, the reporter, that is there was an
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: eight second pause.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: That's beautiful.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: You gotta look okay, eh, And then that I agree
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: with Now he said, but does the recent pass winning
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: the most games in the NBA from twenty eighteen to
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: twenty five, the huge trades for Drew Holliday and Damien Allard,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: do they show that they can do it again? And
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Yanna said, you cannot say. I've always been always, always.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: This is the NBA. I love watching it. I always
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: make hypothetical scenarios. What if I play with Lebron, What
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: if I play with Kevin Durant, What if I play
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: with Michael Jordan, what if I play with Kobe Everybody
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: makes hypothetical scenarios, what if you could get blah blah
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: blah blah. But at the end of the day, you
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: have to commit somewhere, right, You have to commit somewhere,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: And I think for thirteen years I've committed here more
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: than anybody any player ever committed.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: If you ask me, what do I really want? Deep
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: down in my heart?
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I want to be a Milwaukee bucket toil I retire
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: and win a championship here end of sentence. Well, he
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: dropped them, Mike, there didn't he I mean in that sense,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: but there's the head if that's not possible to happen,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: and if then you realize maybe that's not the case,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: and maybe they're looking elsewhere and that's not what they're
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: trying to do, then automatically you have to be in
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: the plants what they're trying to do or weigh the
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: other options. It's normal. I know what my goal is.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know what their goal is.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: I know that I talk to them, but I don't
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: think it's fair to share the conversations I talk with them.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: They haven't come into.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: The game recently, we haven't been so good, so they're
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: probably upset. I bet you can like talk to them,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: ask them, what's your goal? What do you want to do?
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: They might want to reveal, They might even want to sell,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: They might want to do some other things. Maybe I
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: don't know. The Bucks, by the way, had no comment
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: for Rozarski.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: When he asked for comment. Yeah.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Correct, Well, they were hiring a head coach, so then
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: he couldn't leave it at that. My wife has said
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: she told me they said you asked out him, he said,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: gets thrown under the bus. Say that was you reply?
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: And he said, I ask out every year. It's true,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: every year, not this year. It's every year I've asked.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: But this, this is the closest I've been to it.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: And he laughed again. He smiled again, and he he
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: evaluates and reevaluates where he and the team are at
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: every year, where they're going. That's what you're supposed to do,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: he said, that's.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: What you're supposed to do. I've committed.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I've been thirteen years here, thirteen man, Do you really
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: think I want to leave? People really think I want
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: to leave? And with that he darted quickly back into
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: the Bucks locker room.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Oh my wow.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: And Jim, as you mentioned, the great reporter, he has
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: found different ways to set and paint as much of
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: a picture of it as possible.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: He clearly wanted to say something true.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: He clearly wanted to say exactly what he laid out
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: there and when it worked, very very well discussed and
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: very very well like he kind of said, a little
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: bit edgy, but honest and as honest as you could be,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: and this has been in the universe for coming up
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: on what nine to almost twelve hours in this era,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: and the national no one picked it up yet.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Well, somebody had to wake up time. So the question is.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Why, right, I mean, yeah, they pick it up because
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: they don't see it. Well maybe I don't make so,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: but maybe, But I think it's more that they don't
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: want to see it.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: They don't want to be what I say, Just like
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: every time the agenda.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Every time last week I brought up the aspect of
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: the sam a Mic report, it was always dismissed.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Well, now is that because.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: It's written and not there's no tape, Like would it
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: be more effective if there was tape of him saying it?
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but it just sure seems like it's
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: not what they want me to do, you know, Shams
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: and these guys. It's not it's not following their their
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: kind of agenda or what they've got going. So they
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: don't want to they want to pretend it doesn't exist. Right,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: It doesn't seem that way. It's like we finally heard
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: from honest himself. This isn't an agent, This isn't you know,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: a source, this.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Is the dude.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the dude, And I wonder is it
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: just because it's written and not heard, because it seems
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: like they're part.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Of a video and audio do have an.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Effect on you, Jimmy, Like a lot of times, like Mcalvey,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I see in my beat Hack days, we didn't have
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: cameras and you go and transcribe stuff and you didn't
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: have to push video into social and stuff. And I'm
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: always amazed at those guys that can do like to
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: if I'm I'm trying to frame up the shot and
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: think about what I'm going to ask and stuff. There's
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: a reason that that MMJ thing, that multimedia journalist thing,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: that is now what guys have to do.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: It's a different breed. You gotta worry about your video and.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Suet one of those Micah Parson's camcorders that he had
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: less that was good. But I just think that's part
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: of it. But I also think it's more the other
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: side of it. It's like for people that want to
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: believe or want to persist or want to push the
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: idea that the trade is imminent and it's going to happen.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: For most of NBA fans outside of Milwaukee, this is
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: interesting and fun for them to think dead. It's not
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: interesting and fun for them to hear guys say, you know,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: I really wanted to stay here forever. They want to
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: believe that the trade's about to happen, so they can
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: sit all day and wait for the trade deadline to happen,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: so they can this is this is what's fun for
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: NBA fans. So I think there's a lot of that too.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Is that, like they want to believe some crazy trade
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: is about to happen.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Not that everyone's just happy staying where they are. They
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: do need.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Thirty six hours more of content until the two o'clock
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: dead tomorrow. But there's also this is and I do
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: appreciate the consistency of Shams because you know, Arman, you
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: bring up the the AMIC report and article and conversation
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: interview he had a couple of weeks ago. I don't
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: know that Sham's posted anything in response to those quotes,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: just ignored, Like I think it completely ignored. If you
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: did that, then on January eighth, you probably should a
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: day and a half before the deadline if you're going
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: to continue with what you've pushed that this is the
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: first time it's been true.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: But I do also think that.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: You know, if he wakes up today, it gets up
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: on get up, that you can very much still say
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: he did put out there what was true and what
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: the reporting has kind of shifted to is, yeah, this
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: isn't a Yani's trade request. That this feels a lot
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: more like due diligence of.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: An ownership group.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: That in the statement that Yannis makes, I think he
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: clearly says, this is a different Milwaukee Bucks organization, right
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: than the one that I've built for a long time,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: in all of those thirteen years.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that this is them doing this, not.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Me, not me.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: They I don't know what they want. I don't know
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: what they're gonna do they So that part is true.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Jannis is clearly steadfast and crafted and saying I want
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: to he doesn't want anyone to have a chance to
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: put anything on him like he asked out or he
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: wanted out.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: This is a totally them thing.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: I'm committed to Milwaukee and all that type of verbiage.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: So that part is very careful by honest. There's no
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: question about we did hear from Jim. We did get Jim,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: not Jim Osarski, Jimmy Haslam, owner of the Milwaukee Bucks
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: from the Haslam ownership group yesterday while he introduced his
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: head coach of another team that he owns in the
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns, which has been a dynamo of success. This
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: was Jimmy Haslim speaking on the ongoing trade conversations around
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Giannis yesterday.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I probably should plug.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: In to be able to get through to the audio
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: as cleanly as possible.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: Jason Jannis is I don't know, top three, top four
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: player in the world. He brought Milwaukee's first championship in
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: fifty years several years ago. And he's a really good
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: person too.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: He's no problem, he's a great leader, try as hard,
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: and I think Giannis and the Bucks, and this goes
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: back before we were involved, have always worked closely to
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: see what's best for Jannis and what's best for the Bucks,
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: and we'll continue to.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Do We'll continue to do so, continue to do so.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: But I thought that before we were even involved. Part
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: is a key one that as somebody that speaks to
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: a lot of loyalty in that piece, Drew, that is
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: the one part that has changed a little bit, which
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: is unique here.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: That is, and there's so many layers to this. Yes,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: he wants to win here.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Now, I remember far saying that, and it was like,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: you know, during his whole you know, Hamlet thing or whatever,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: he was like.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: To be or should I stay, should I go? Should
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: I retire?
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: And he would drop that, well, I'll be here as
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: long as they want me, as long as they'll have
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: me here the three time MVP, what do we want
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: with you? You know, you get out of here, And
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: it was like I almost seemed like almost false humility,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: like I'll be.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Here as long as they want me.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: But as it turned out, you know, towards the end,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: and that's where Giannis is And he didn't say it,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: but kind of what he's saying is if it's best
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: for the organization to trade me the way they are,
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: and that's the best, okay.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: And he didn't he didn't go to that level of like, hey.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's the best for the team in the future
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: to get picks and to move me and go in
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: a new direction. But his thing was I want to
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: stay here and win and compete for titles.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: How do you do that?
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Now, that's that's the conundrum that they put so much,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: They put so much on the credit card over the
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: trying to give him the winner and give him the
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: resources and make him happy that now the Bills do so,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: then where are we well and do they get to
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: actually execute Drew the two to five year playing that.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: I think they kind of sold him on with this
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: potentially being not as much of a gap year, somewhat
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: of a competitive year, but a little bit of a
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: unique circumstance this year. Yeah, that's and that's the conundrum.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: It's like, okay, and then what does he want to
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: come back? He came back too quickly from the calf,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: So yeah, settle down and take the year off.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: That's what I maintain. That would be my idea.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Might give you a little bit of ability to sit
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: in the big fellow down though, and be like, look
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: at what happened last time. I know, and well, and
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: then they won the game last night. He's probably got
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: the itch to go out there and play again. All right,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Now we're only three and a half games. We win
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: two games there, that's what he's thinking. Well, so now
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: I just traded Jade and Ivy.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: We got a great chance there.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: And and what if you know, what if the Bucks
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: make a move and add a piece at the deadline
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: and make a creative move that makes them better, it
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: makes gi honest want to come back, like it's all
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: part of it. Man, fascinating Andrew and I know we'll
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: get into this on the other side, but he mentions
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: like the fantasy basketball element to it, that that you
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: can't got to commit there at some point. Well, they've
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: committed to just about every big move they could. It
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: almost sounds like somebody who's been you know, rumored to
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: be kind of behind the scenes pushing for some of
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: those fantasy basketball moves might be trying to say, pump
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: the horses a little bit. Yeah, it's fascinating. All the
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: layers to a great job by Jimmy Odi talk. That's
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: we'll see if any that's the years of their relationship
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: going way back, and that he's you know, Jimmy Oh
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: has got to put in the time and got a
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: little trust and Giannest clearly wanted to put this in.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: He was ready to say it.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: And it's funny and that's the thing. Jest wants to
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: put this in the world. And then it's like a
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: tree falls in the forest and like until they start
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: talking about it this morning, I don't know what it's
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: it gonna take.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: But we'll see what happens to the narrative today.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: I am now convinced, and we've been it's been the
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: position of the huddle since we started the hull. This
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: is our third show of our third week that it's
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: gonna have. If it's gonna happen, it's gonna be in
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: the summer. So we still have some more time with Giannis.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I'm convinced that a lot of it is. It's twenty
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: twenty six, so but doesn't confirm what you believe.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: People are just gonna let's.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Smell the roses for a while and enjoy you honest
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: while he's here and this, and when's the last time
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: an athlete of this magnitude or anything close to this
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: magnitude caped up for Milwaukee and said stuff like this.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, Yelich will say it and talk about how
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: he doesn't want to play anywhere else and stuff like that.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: But Yelich isn't.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Isn't yeah, isn't no.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: You know, Aaron did it a lot more, uh at
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: the at once he was in other places that should
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: realize maybe how good he Once he got to the
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Jets and saw what a screwed up organization looks like damn,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: but my head pretty good. But you're right, no one
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: has like Ganis has. That's what makes it always made
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Jianna so special. And that's been the most off putting
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: part about this whole deal, is it? And that stuff
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: about his kids in the passports and his father being
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: buried here, I mean, yah, come on, that's deep stuff.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: That's deep, steep stuff.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I would hope that maybe that would allow our guy Duke,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: who is sitting live outside of five ser for him
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: on a wisn that I just saw potentially covering Gianni's
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: final game with the Bucks. Any buddy, buddy, let's get him,
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Let's get him back inside. He looks very very cold
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: out there. Let's get him some warm will warm you
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: up today? Hang out with us, get yourself coupled cherry
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: colder hot beverage of your choice. Buckle up it ta
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: te Compte. John Greenberg joins us at seven thirty. I
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: want to get the loadown on Arma's performance on the
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Jumbo trond last night at the Admirals game.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: We're going to.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Discuss Giannis because we finally got something to fan the flames.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: And it's not like you know, it's not dreary. It's
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: actually a little bit uplifting. We got more time, The
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Bucks have more time. They're extending the deadline to improve
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: their wares to where maybe Jannis in October will sign
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: the super Max extension. It's the huddle on Fox Sports
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Radio Wisconsin the X when we're known as Twitter, Billy
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: and I just we want to set on Billy's bet.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Of the day.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: It's like the over under on when National Outlets will college.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Shimo's Arsky story an interview with Giannis and what Gianna
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: said his goal dream is to retire a Buck. I
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: love that because it's mine too. Now there are still
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: some caveats the hare. Of course he wants them to win,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: and yes, but might not be the best place for
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: it to happen. You kind of threw that one in there,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: a little bite. He wants to retire as in Milwaukee,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: but he bleeds green and that stuff about his kids
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: being born in Milwaukee and his dad being buried here.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Is it hits you in the fields? Man? Absolutely does.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: And this is kind of what I've been thinking all
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: year long, feeling like, you know, the situation with Giannis
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: and the things he said and some of the behavior
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: the booing, all those things that would think of as irregular.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Is that he's kind of gone through this emotional processing
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: of not really wanting this to be the reality, but
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: maybe it is. And I think this kind of confirms
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: some of that, at least the reality that in an
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: ideal utopian world, yeah, he'd like to be here and
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: compete to win and win here forever. It's not that
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: he necessarily wants to leave, but also doesn't want to languish.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: I also think there's something to the aspect, guys of
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: the group, that he's a very emotionally you know, he's
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: a connected guy emotionally to what the people around him,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: the people that matter, the the memories he's made, and
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: you guys mentioned that that has all changed kind of
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: since he's come here and the guys he came up with,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: his best buddies, you know, Drew and Brooke and Chris
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: and all these guys are not here anymore. And it's
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: got to be a weird feeling for him kind of
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: processing emotionally that that's all changed, that those guys are gone.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Then it's a he's the old guy now, and how
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: do I handle all that bucks?
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: They they were rolling last night now that the Bulls
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: were reeling from a trade of their own, right, So yeah,
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: no doubt, a couple of little a couple of yeah,
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: a couple of moves.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Bulls were reeling a little bit.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Bucks play the Pelicans tonight and so it's back to
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: back at home time, thirty minute workout on the court yesterday.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: I saw him doing some basically flat footed jumpers and
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: then he was I saw him doing some heel slides
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: or sides. Yes, we like that scuffles, which is good
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: for the calf. So he did the workout and then
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: that was the news until Jim o's Arsky cornered him
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: right before tip off, and that's the story. Go to
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: jas online, pay for it. Yes, it's worthy.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Thanked Jimmy Oh for giving us this a little ray
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: of hope.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: And uh again, I think I think our position, our
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: logic was not flawed. And no, the if there will
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: be a Gianni's trade, we nobody wants it. But if
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: it happens, it'll be in the off season. Yeah, and
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: I also think, Drew, you can go and pay for it.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: You subscribe, because then you can get jim Osarski's Greatest Hits,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: which also features uh. Within the last week is conversation
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: with Jay Crowder kind of clearing up some of his
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: conversations and back and forth online about some good big
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Jay journalism, some big stuff about doc and you know
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: when when you read the article last night again, yes,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: there is reaffirmation that Giannis loves Milwaukee. I don't necessarily
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: know that was ever fully questioned. Right now, I have
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: really openly questioned what do you want? And I'm glad
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Jim finally was able to ask him the question of
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: it because there was a feeling and a sense of
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: what I want is the win somewhere. I just don't
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: want to be the bad guy telling them, Hey, send
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: me to Golden States so I can go play with
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Steph Curry. And that's clearly what you get here is
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: not the fact.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it is.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Wide open to you know, Giannis is doing a lot
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: of I think what Bucks fans are doing right now
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: of looking around saying how much do I trust this guy,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: this guy and this guy who whether or not they
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: have either been here for two minutes, two years, or
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: ten years, how much do I trust that their decisions
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: right now are going to put us in the best
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: position to win a title. I think those are fair
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: questions to have, especially about the head coach, who I
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: think all Bucks fans are wondering exactly what his role
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: would potentially be.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: So the more we.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Get into what I believe will be a summer of
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: conversation between the two sides and probably the rest of
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: the league, because I think it's fair and understandable that
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: you want to know what your two options are for.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: The Bucks, that you know there's going to be a
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: little bit of a side.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: I was saying, you guys got to kind of need
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: to prove to me that with whatever top twelve pick
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: we might get here into the draft or whatever, we'll
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: end up making a trade with that asset that we're
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: gonna be able to do something that's gonna be a
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: little bit more sustainable than one year. And all of
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: a sudden, by middle of May, we're sitting at home.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: We'll go back almost twenty years, right, We'll go back
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: in the DeLorean like this what what Yannas said. Jannis
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: has been here thirteen years, deep affinity for Milwaukee.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: These Sabbathi was here about thirteen weeks.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he loved Milwaukee and he loved the vibe
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: and he loved the clubhouse, and he loved the teammates,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: and he would have preferred to sign right here, sure,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: but the Yankees gave him about two hundred and fifty
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: million reasons not to sign that out right, Yeah, that
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: was the thing, right, So this isn't the case here,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Like it is not money. And one of the things
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Giannis has said, and one of the things, one of
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: his big points of pride, was that he didn't go
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: chase a championship and join a team because he has
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: he's kind of slagged on those guys, right, there's a
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: video of him after they won and he's talking to
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: d Way and he said, You've always been my favorite,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: and like, yeah, you did it the right way.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: You were in the place and.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: You had you know, well not granted, he had some
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: guys join him that helped, yes, right, the heats kind.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: In the heat. He did say he has said in
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: the past.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: About like it's a point of pride for him that
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: he and Chris stayed and built it and won in
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: a market that's not attractive that nobody really wants to
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: go to.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: That.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Players of Giannis's magnitude, you see him on podcasts all
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: the time.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: You know, what would you think about playing a wife?
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: I kid no comment.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, uh, Milwaukee's where I on the road.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: That this is where they go and like catch up
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: on sleep so they can have fun in other cities
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: and you know, maybe they have a nice stake at Carnivore.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: But well, Kendrick Burkin liked it.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: He said, I love going and playing with potwa Milwaukee
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: damn steak in a casino.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: I loved it.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: And maybe if you landed last night you're Zion Williams
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: and you go hit that twenty eight dollars bffet at
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Canal Street Cafe to this more, let's go Billy Prime
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: rib get himself a nice nap in there. We know
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Zion likes to eat good, you know. But it's it's
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: it will play out. I still think Gianni is going
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: to be a buck for a while and then we're
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: gonna have to go through this all in the summer
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: and people, well, there's the packages that people, here's the
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: draft picks, here's this, here's that.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: So my thing is it really won't stop.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: So if you this annoys you and it makes you
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: going to ratch it up. So I think what this
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: has done more than anything is has created a feeling
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: about Gianni's from Bucks fans. I don't know is necessarily
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: fair because you when you hear it so much all
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: the time watching sports news and things, and it's a
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: big topic of the possibility of it because it's pushed
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: by ESPN whatever it is, Say what you will. Uh,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: it starts to great on you and it gets annoying,
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: and then people will say things like I'm just tired
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: of Giannis as antics. I'm like, well, it's not really
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Yannis all the time doing this at all. It's just
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: you're hearing all the time you're tired of it. So
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: that's the thing that I really resent about this is
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: how it's made people feel about Giannis that I don't
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: think is totally well, get ready for it the more,
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: even more though into the summer until October first, or
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: until this gets cleared up, you know, going into free agency.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Now you're gonna have to have Bucks fans have an
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: even more uncomfortable conversation that I don't I really don't
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: think you're gonna like, which is do I really want
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: to give a guy who is somewhat injury riddled over
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: the last four to five years of his career since
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: they've won the title. It hasn't been all his injuries,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: but there have been a number of postseasons in which
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: he has been hampered and or unavailable. Do I really
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: want to give four years two hundred and seventy five
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: million dollars of that guy? Or do we start to
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: shift a little bit back, get some more of those
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: assets that we've already offloaded for a number of years.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: And get those back.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: That is a true mathematical equation that they're trying to
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: figure out inside the Bucks organ And I thought that's
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: what Jimmy Oh was able to. You know, you read
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: between the lines of the statement last night. Absolutely Leannis
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: wants to win here. He always, I think has wanted
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: to win here.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Who wants to be.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: The guy that has to go somewhere else for somebody
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: to give them what they want. Yeah, nobody wants to
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: have to go to a different store. You want to
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: walk over to Costco and see the kind of stake
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: that you wanted to buy. You don't want to have
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: to go over to two different stores to be able
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: to get exactly what you want for dinner that night.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: He wants to hoist another Larry O'Brien. Of course he
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: wants to be the leading man here because you're always
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: gonna get a little bit of a look in the
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: NBA circles.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: We talked about it with the.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame tables yesterday and where guys start judging.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: There's definitely another a layer to the look that you
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: get from players when your second title did come with
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: you not as the leading man, or you had to
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: go join and I'll.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Starting Anthony Edwards to go get it. Of course he
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: wants to win it here.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: But I wonder if the Bucks are having some tough
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: conversations where they say, do we really believe Drew that
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: will be able to win it? Not even in twenty six,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: twenty seven, seven, twenty eight, through.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: The lifetime of that deal, do we believe that we'll
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: have a legitimate chance of winning it? And that's kind
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: of what he Janness made it sound like that.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, eight seven seven seven three yesterday This guy
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Matt Moore, I follow from the Action Network. Uh, he's
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: a he's been locked on NBA Guys NBA X account
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: that's could follow.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, really really shod stuff.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: He quote tweeted a Bucks a poll of Bucks fans
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: and uh, it said that, you know, most most fans,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: assuming Giannis doesn't ask for a trade, sure the Bucks
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: trading before the deadline anyway? Fifty five percent, No, thirty
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: four percent yes, ten percent unsure. Okay, that was you
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: know before we heard this stuff. And he said, I
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: absolutely respect how much Bucks fans are like, Nope, don't care,
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: want to keep our guy. Absolutely, And that's that's the
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: prevailing sentiment, although it's not as unanimous as I thought
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: it would be. Even right now, Patrick O west Benz
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: had not trade him and move on until Rivers has gone,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: nothing matters. And then then we mentioned yesterday there's more
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: people than ever before.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: On that train. Then there's a reply to the suite
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: for this guy named Bob who said.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: I would rather he retire playing for us on us
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: being mediocre during that span rather than retooling and being great.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: I know it's insane, but Giannis is one of one
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be the question, and and I think there's
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: a lot of fans that have said that they would be.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: That way, and then we'll see if that's true.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: And then there's a guy that replied, guy that replied something,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, will you will will you back that up,
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: will you be?
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Question? Yeah?
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, and that's it comes down to, would you
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: rather lose with Giannas or win without him?
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: If that was your choice? And of course, like what
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: is winning mean?
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Like of course if it was a championship, anyone would
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: say yes, like I'd rather I'd rather win a championship.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: But would I rather be a seventh seed first round
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: knockout with him or without him?
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: I mean?
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: And just I don't think anybody thinks that's winning. Yeah,
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: I agree with you, so so I don't know anybody's
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: definition of that is winning. So take it to what
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: you make your definition of winning? Well, you're your definite.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: What your definition of winning be what the one bucks
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: did when two rounds get to Eastern Conference finals. Be
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: a really plucky team and one that has a number
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: of guys that you really really enjoy, or you know,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: would you be okay being and chasing the play in
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: or the seventh seed with Giannis for the next four
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: to five years. Here's a guy next, I said, our
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: best player for fifteen years was Michael Redd. No disrespect
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: to him. We'll find a way to weekend at Bernie
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Sianis's body for eighty years.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Well, think about the amount of Detecumo lineage that potentially
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: is going to be suiting up for the Bucks. I
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: am excited for you know, Liam's Milwaukee Bucks.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to Liam's draft eligible well, or and
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe he comes as the ring chaser.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: And he plays at you know, university school or at
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Dominican or something, and he's.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: You know, going to bypass college and go straight to
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: the NBA.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Maybe play Gianni's last year would be with Liam as
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: a teammate. I got to assume there's going to be
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: a number of institutions in the state that are going
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: to be trying to polity for his high school service
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: if he plays. He's still around. Joannis is still here
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: interesting stuff. Thanks to Jim Osarski. We owe him a
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: beverage of his choice giving us that interview and just this,
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: uh something to talk about this fresh we are going
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: to talk. You know, it dawned on me the other day,
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: bad bad on my part that I didn't ask Billy
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: for his like royal rumble react.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: So three days later that.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Haven't gotten Billy's react to that yet. Maybe that's because
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: it wasn't that good and it's Hot take comp day.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: We watch your hot takes coming up after after six o'clock.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: We're gonna have some fun with that. The gorilla cooking
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: these bad boys Pro Bowl games. So we got to
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: ask about that. I want the Pro Bowl to just
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: I want it to be, you know, sent away Pro
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Bowls and tell the kids that he went, we went
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: to sent to live on a farm.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: So you should have you should have seen it last night.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: It was a good time.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: It was a good time, and I will contend just
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: wait till the numbers come out.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: It was a great time. It was a I miss
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: it all.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: So work because again no again, everybody will have a
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: lot of opinions for folks that didn't watch. Opinions are cheap.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: That's why everyone's got one when they don't put in
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: the time.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: That's right, that's right.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Well I have to keep my streak contact of not
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: watching or caring about the Pro Bowl for like fifteen years.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just like that.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: I'm more interested in this week of what the Commission
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: said about like the eighteen game season, and like what
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: the Players Association, the International Games yankes, yes.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Plenty to get to get your hot takes to us.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Yann Us today, but we want you to weigh in
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: eight seven seven seven nine three the hot stakes. We'll
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: start we'll start slinging those like hotcakes in about twenty minutes.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Right now, I want Billy to convince.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Me that the Pro Bowl games were a marquee event destination,
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: so much enjoyable.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: No, that's not my job.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: No, listen, all the all that it is is folks
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: that don't want to enjoy something have chosen the fact
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: that they don't want to right Like, uh, the fact
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: that Micah Parsons stole the show last night with about
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: fifteen viral clips and one of the best memes that
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: you're going to see of him riding by on the
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: scooter with a nineteen ninety style camquarder of the cheerleaders was.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: A phenomenal shot.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: The amount of visuals that you got of some of
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: the best players in the league was tremendous, and.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: It was a Tuesday night event. Again, like the folks
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: that beat again.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: I understand if you want to tell me about how
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: great something used to be, but it's never happening again,
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: so like so you can quit asking for it. Yeah,
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: continually tell me about how great something was.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: Here.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing never be proven wrong.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: The Pro Bowl, going back to when it was Hawaii
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: and it was like the reward and it was kind
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: of like some of those players over there and they
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: wanted to go like it wasn't even great then.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: To me, Oh, how beautiful it was, and it was.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: That's when everybody care.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: It was not we had a hard d It was
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: something there, and it's it made for TV event on
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: a Tuesday night when we're in withdrawals and there's not
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: much else going on.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: If you're not an NBA like, what's that?
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Sorry, I would much rather watch that than watch Quinnipiac
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: in Mount Saint Mary's in whatever. The tal Bs'.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Disrespect what he Doug Gottlieb, I couldn't like.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: It's listen, it's a it's a two hour television event
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: in a convention center. If you want to be mad
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: about it, that's that's somebody's own prerogative. But last night,
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: I think last night was the most entertaining it's been
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: in years, and the energy of it and the flag
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: element of it. Again, things that people don't like that
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: are here to stay. Flag football is going to be
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: a part of the sports lexicon. For the next decades.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: It goes into the Olympics in two years, it's going
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: to be an NCAA sport within the next decade. So
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: it's here to say, and that part of it growing
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: is important. And will the Women's Flag League take off?
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: Absolutely yeah, and then people will resist that. Well, they
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: were the opening act last night, and the women's game
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: was phenomenal as well to watch exactly that.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: You make a point.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: We some of us do wish for things to be
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: like they used to be, and they'll never be back,

• 39:07
  Speaker 2: I'm definitely one of them.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: I will admit I didn't watch the Pro Bowl.
• 39:10

  Speaker 2: making their opinions probably didn't.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Watch much of it last night.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: And you do, to some extent choose your happiness and
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: when you're watching one of these events.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: And I'll say the same about watching Quinnipia.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: But That's the thing though, and Billy, you hit on
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: a perfectly what I want to see more of in sports.

  Speaker 2: to the joy. Oh yeah, exactly, the wrestling in the
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: pre before they took the court, the wrestling moves and

  Speaker 2: Let's make everybody feel what it was like when you
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: were between eight and thirteen years old. Yeah, everything was
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: fun and there was an innocence to it rather than
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: oh look at that guy, look at his contract. Oh no,
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: I you know, I remember when Prince Fielder was first
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: you know, on the scene. I remember the night was
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: in the ballpark where the most electrifying nights in the
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: ballpark was a June night when the Brewers played a
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: nothing game against Twins, big crowd and Ricky Weeks.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: And Prince Fielder hit the first major league homers on
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: the same day. Yeah, that's it's incredible. Yeah.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: And the next day there were people, yeah, well, what's
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: the difference. We're not gonna be able to keep them.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: They're gonna be gone. And it was that was that cloud.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Now though, that's the problem that now, and that's now
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: metastasized where you start to he's gonna be here six years.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: You got six years to enjoy.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: This, like, oh, he's gonna be going and we won't
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: be next seventh is the one that afford him.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: So bring back the joy in sports. I'm all about that.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: And if this event, which I didn't really watch, I
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: have some highlights, but Billy, if it brought joy, that's great.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: If the players were enjoyed, Because there was a time
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: and I went to the first one.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: I went to the first one in Vegas and.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: It didn't see like the players just seemed like they
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: were there checking a box.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: What do we do? Obligations what are we doing here? Yeah?
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: And so if there's joy in it and if there's
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: buy in more parts, because again, the ratings for the
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: draft are huge, and that's a guy and that's the
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: reading of names. Huh, So it's gonna get ratings. Is
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: that a measure of success? Did it bring joy to
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: people watch it and to people who are participated in it?
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: I drew you hit it on the head.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: You guys went for the Pro Bowl with the pros
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: right Vegas with the Pros a few years ago, and
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: those Pros looked like Joe's.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: They did not.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: Seem like they having last night. You could see every play.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Both sidelines were erupting having fun. So like that enjoy,
