Milwaukee Bucks Excitement for 2025-26?! – KBN 7.2.25

Milwaukee Bucks Excitement for 2025-26?! – KBN 7.2.25

imaging made up yet for Kyle Stro and Brust or however you want to rename the show with how often Brad’s going to be out moving forward with a kid on the way. Vocal cord surgery. Light it up. Light it up. I’m trying to give you an opportunity to give uh your name in the show. Yeah, that’s fair and I appreciate it, but I feel like that would be rude. So, I have not done that yet. I might do it. It depends when I reach my breaking point of Bradlessness. The baby’s going to come the vocal cords, you know, got to clean that up. some he going to be he gone.
He’s not going to be able to speak for 4 days. Like not even say like when I say this, this is what he I said, “What can you do?” He said, “I can’t go.”
Right. Here’s the thing about that. I wouldn’t make it 10 minutes. Brad might be okay.
Brad might be fine. We
You would damage your vocal cords after having vocal cord surgery.
I hope to God I never have vocal cord surgery cuz I wouldn’t make it. I I might not even make it five minutes. I would love 4 days of you not talking.
I can’t not talk for 4 days. I got news for you.
I got great news. I leave tomorrow for 4 days without stroke.
Yeah, you do.
Yes. Well, I mean, he may text you or you may text him.
He’ll text me. I don’t text him.
Uh-huh. That’s
Is that true?
He always He always text first. I promise. I do know you do text him first. So, look at Look at him. He’s It’s like It’s like a boyfriend girlfriend relation.
Do I ever text him?
Uh,
pretty rarely. Yeah. Yeah. We don’t really text very often. Actually,
I usually don’t text first. I’m not a text firster.
I mean, I think the last time we texted because you text me on my birthday.
And you didn’t respond, might add.
Dude, I I responded. I don’t know what you’re talking about.
So, yesterday it uh reminded me a lot um of hearing about how Kyle Wallace had hired Alex Stro for free to be his driver to the airport. Oh, yes. Thank you for that. I appreciate that. I might need another ride coming up here. Bye. Yesterday after our show ended, uh Kyle and I drove back to the office together. Then Kyle was nice enough to drive me to my place as my fiance’s vehicle is getting fixed.
I sure did. What a guy he is.
Um and Stro, you were right. Kyle did try and force too much conversation on the way to my house. On the way to your house.
Yeah.
What did I talk about? You just kept firing questions at me. Like I I thought we were going to be good just sitting there like
Yeah. I mean I it just feels awkward sitting in a car with somebody silent
like but like you’re you can play music, you can do whatever you want. Like I was on my phone at one point and you’re like yeah so so when you leaving tomorrow? What time you got to get to the airport? I’m like yeah
I appreciate it but like you don’t care. It’s okay.
No, it’s just it’s so it’s forced conversation
awkward being a matter of fact when we drove back from our remote yesterday being at Tsunami Express in New Berlin, we had a moment where we didn’t really talk and I was like it’s it’s kind of awkward, right? Like
not to me. I was good.
It’s it’s you know we had Homer playing in the background on the Homer hour from 5 to 6 right here on ESPN Milwaukee and you know ESPN constantly you can listen back but it’s just awkward. Like I rather have music and like you know I like ratchet music and I don’t know what you like.
You could have put on anything.
So yeah
I was you did me a favor which means I am at the mercy of your car with no air conditioning having to roll down the windows when there was some
business out there like that. We need to put my business I can put my own. Yes. Yes. I got to put some of that fluid up in there. I got to go to my guy to put some of the fluid in there. Yeah, it is what it is. But yeah, I I I do like to talk to people because
I had a shower when I got home cuz I was so sweaty.
Yeah. Listen, what’s funny is on the freeway because you go fast, you go slow. When we go fast, I’ll roll up the windows. When we go slow, I roll down the windows. And I noticed Ben would follow my lead. And I was like,
thank God he gave me a chance to open up the window.
When it go slow, I know what to do. I just roll it down. You just be happy. I don’t cuz once in a while I try to try thinking that magically my my AC is going to work. It blows out the high. It blows out heat from hell. I turn this off.
Turn this off. But yeah, I I got to learn just it’s okay to be silent. I I’m I’m happy being silent.
It doesn’t sound like it.
It’s just
I actually know and Stro knows from experience you can’t not talk to somebody in the car.
I feel the pressure. I feel the pressure.
There was no pressure. We spent so much time together.
I know. I just it’s just like he’s in my car cuz I do remember a moment we were driving back from New Berlin and I’m like uh oh I ain’t got nothing to talk about. I said so uh that wedding huh?
Yeah. It’s just like dude shut up. Like we’re fine. Like we’re going back like I I hadn’t eaten lunch. I all I was thinking about was food and I was like I was like all I was thinking about was like when can I get home for food? Meanwhile, you’re asking me 20 questions and trying to get to the to the story of my entire life.
Yeah. Okay. All right. Now we’re exaggerating. I just tell you what it felt like.
I did ask you some questions. I I heard found out about your wedding and what we should expect at the wedding. So, I’m very excited about that.
I’m glad you learned that even though you really didn’t want to learn.
No, it’s it’s good to know. You got money, man. That’s all I can say.
Uh 8009903776. That is the carbless talk and text line. List is more. See us on YouTube at ESPN Milwaukee and ESPN Madison. Download, listen back, stream everything on the ESPN Wisconsin app. We are a day removed from right around this time, couple hours ago, yesterday. Miles Turner in the center signs from the uh free agency. Pacers let him go. The Milwaukee Bucks scoop him up. Damen Lillard wave 20 plus million dollars over the next five years in dead cap money. And there was a um I would say a 75% excitement from fans and a 25% what are we doing? We’re hurting the future. It is reckless. But I’d say the majority is positive. When it comes to your feelings now, Kyle, do you feel the same optimism and excitement that you felt in the buzz of yesterday as we sit here together today?
So, I think I got caught up in the excitement of Milwaukee Bucks. Kyle backpedal Wallace already. I’m not backpedaling. I’m not backpedaling. I’m standing on what I’m saying. I’m just saying I’m excited that the Milwaukee Bucks signed Miles Turner yesterday. I’m excited for what the future could be, but I do understand that the future is limited for the Milwaukee Bucks. And unfortunately, I do think they have a ceiling. Now, yesterday I said that they not winning a championship with this roster. And after 24 hours, KB Nation, I think if we all kind of reflect and we’re honest, the Bucks basically just, you know, upgraded at the center position. But if we couldn’t win a championship with Damen Lillard, what makes us think we’re going to win a championship without Damen Lillard? The whole point of getting Dame is because we needed a guard that could pack a scoring punch. This roster, when you look at it, we don’t have a guard who can pack a scoring punch. When you look at the teams that were in the finals last year, you had Shay who could absolutely ball out and then he had guys along with them. And then you look at the Pacers, they had
say what you want about Hallebertton, but he was awesome in that playoff
balling out. The Milwaukee Bucks have Giannis, but who else do they have? I don’t think the combination of Giannis and Miles Turner is a championship duo. The Milwaukee Bucks are still missing a piece and so we can be excited, but you know what? The Bucks may still be in the same predicament and situation they were last year. We got Dame to get a championship. Now we don’t have Dame and we think we going to win the championship because we got Miles Turner.
Well, the season isn’t here. There’s still time to make some moves.
Do you think there are moves out there that would make Kyle Wallace change his opinion to yes, this team can win a championship in 25?
John, he has to bring in a capable guard. He has to bring in somebody that can have the ball and can like a Drew Holiday probably wouldn’t win win win you a championship but somebody who you know can take command of that guard position. Somebody that has the ability to score a little bit. I don’t need a guy that can drop 28 points or 25 points. I just need a dude who can be in command, who can lead charge, but also who’s going to be a defensive wing stopper? Like who, like for real, who’s going to stop other guys best offensive wing players, best guards? Who? Gary Trent? Hecky no. Who? Kyle Kosman? Absolutely not. KPJ? I don’t think so. We have nobody to play defense. Hey, Andre. No, I love my Bucks. Light it up. Light it up. But Andre Jackson didn’t get on.
I love my Bucks. Light it up. Light it up. But they didn’t do enough for me. Kyle,
no. I like where we are going, but there are still moves to be made. We cannot sit here and act like the Milwaukee Bucks are a true championship contender by adding Miles Turner to be your number two stud. I think the Bucks will be good. Do I think they will be championship? That is the question that is yet to be answered.
So I I I I like this from Tyler because it is what I was going to bring up here in the 608 on the Carbless Talk and text line. Dame was injured all the time in the playoffs. So they really didn’t have him. And so when you think about it, Dame wasn’t there. You upgrade out of position. So they did get better and away from where they were in the playoffs.
What’s the last time a center won you was the guy that won you a championship? I mean, we have Giannis, but I also think we’re jumping a little too far ahead with the word championship right now.
The the whole point obviously is to win a championship, but you have to be realistic about the like the next couple years.
The Bucks ain’t even not even winning the damn Central Division next year.
The Eastern Conference Finals is a a goal that should be should be set. If you can get there, then everything that you’re doing right now solidifies that you can go into 26 27 and then honestly put the fullcourt press on Giannis and be like, “Hey, we’ve done all of this. We got to a point where you should feel comfortable. We want to make sure that you’re part of our future because you can’t go into the next year after that and him have all the control because he’s going to be a free agent.” And so this it has to go two of which ways. The Bucks need to continue to cook in free agency, cook their their John Horse, as Stro would say, masterclass of a general management job and put together a roster that is going to take them further than they need to overachieve. Cuz the worst thing that could happen is they could be stuck in the same position that they’re in right now coming off of this next season. because then you’re kind of doing the whole thing over again and you have even less space in the cap with Damen Lillard being dead money and less opportunity of a grace period from Giannis. Like they either need to overachieve and do something that they’re going to make sure that Giannis is happy with or they kind of need to to suck. Um sucking wouldn’t be great because first you don’t own your own draft picks. But my point is is is if they suck, Giannis has his decision made up for
this isn’t what I want.
No, it’s not it’s not what we want.
It’s not what I want. But I’m saying the two scenarios for next year, the worst thing the Bucks can do is have a replica season of what they just had.
I mean, and more than likely, I feel like they’re on track to have a replica season of what they just had. I just this team is this team is missing something. And I don’t know if there’s anybody out there that they’re going to get. But again, John Horse again, he might have some tricks up his sleeve and he may be able to swing a trade and find a way to bring in somebody that fits the mold of what the Milwaukee Bucks need. But all I’m just saying is this again, good job yesterday with the moves that you made, but the job is not done. It is an incomplete grade right now because going into the season with the roster that we have, yes, this team will be good. It’ll be competitive, but I don’t even think, again, like I said, it’s not winning the Central Division, and nor is this team winning an NBA championship or even winning the Eastern Conference.
Kyle Wallace um is the ultimate Bucks hater. Is hate you hate to see it.
Sus, stop. Stro, back me up here, Stro. You know that this team ain’t winning the Eastern Conference Championship this year. You know that.
I can’t definitively say that given that I don’t know who’s going to get injured over the course of between now and April.
As of now, you feel confident you can say, you know what, this team is going to the Eastern Conference Championship? I I
you need injuries if you
closer to that than a play.
No, no, no, no. I just I said, do you feel confident today?
Would you say this team is going to the Eastern Conference Championship?
I I’d say no. Okay, that’s the that’s
But I think they’re close because
if you’re begging for some other team to have injuries, then that’s a problem.
Yeah, I don’t like that you went to injuries first. I I wish it would have went more with Giannis perspective because he’s been injured the previous postseasons,
not this last one,
right? But obviously that is what’s derailed them in past postseasons is more what I meant by that. and the injury luck was there for other teams to take advantage of obviously with Jason Tatum getting his Achilles and then late in the season for the Thunder.
You don’t want to rely on injuries but they do happen.
It’s a real thing.
It is a real thing. I mean even when you look back to the 2019 NBA championship that should have been the Milwaukee Bucks if they close out the Raptors
when they were up 2.
Golden State was
shredded.
Shredded. And that Bucks team was built to be able to beat a team like the Warriors. So, we’re 24 hours removed. I want your feelings 24 hours later. 8009903776 on the Carbless Talk and text line. And it is getting a little weird about Damen Lillard.
Some some reports about how he feels about being waved. He’s tweeted a couple times. Tweeted, huh?
A couple reports have came out. I do want to talk about the Damen Lillard piece here because I think there there’s too much like oh poor Dame going around. I’m not I’m not going to do that. I I’m just not and I’ll tell you why next.
This is Kyle Brston Nortman KBN.
You said they are a reflection of their head coach.
Yes, he saw it as he proved with you by signing that damn jersey you had on. You think you think Campbell would have signed that jersey? on ESPN Wisconsin and the ESPN Wisconsin app. The best source for every piece of NFL news you need to know.
I would just say that right now I think all options are on the table. I think that they went through that trade thing and they talked to teams and it’s not like those talks are shut down.

Ben Russ, Kyle Wallace, no Brad Norton, Alex Stro is running the show. UK nation as always is at 8009903776 that is the carbless talking text line is more see us on YouTube at ESPN Milwaukee and ESPN Madison Kyle Wallace officially anti- Milwaukee Bucks.
Don’t say that. Don’t don’t don’t do not before the 4th of Julym that’s anti-American to say I’m anti- Milwaukee Bucks. Same thing. Anti-American. You’re anti-American, Ben. Uh,
yeah. A couple of things have come out uh as it regards to Damen Lillard. Um, reports, a couple of them, myself from McMahon and somebody else, that Damen Lillard was not notified. Bucks ownership did not notify Damen Lillard and his camp ahead of his release. The move was impro unprompted and Lillard found out with the rest of us. And so now there’s this this tweeting and this and that. Guys, let’s not forget that Drew Holiday, who was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks that helped one win a Milwaukee Bucks championship, was not notified that he was being traded to the Boston Celtics either. And Damen Lillard has 113 million reasons to be not whiny about this. he can go choose to wherever he wants to go play. He is not going to be playing in 202526. And if he does on the back end, it’d be a miracle knowing the injury. It takes a long time to recover for an Achilles. And that being said, I still agree with the move. If he’s not, if you can get out of something that isn’t working, you got to get out of it. Unfortunately, the only way out was the waving and the dead cap money the Bucks are taking. But this is a business, guys. is like for the for the amount of times that everyone’s defending Goody for, you know, the way he handles contract negotiations with players for the Packers late in their careers, why are we now trying to like make an uproar about not letting Damen Lillard know about his future with the Milwaukee Bucks when, according to some sources as well, he wanted to do all of his rehab in Portland with his family and not be around the Milwaukee Bucks. The Darus situation was different. He was traded and granted the Buck could have gave him a heads up if they were shipping him out and I think they should have. This Dame situation this is downright dirty. Dame was waved and cut. They could have told the brother right before they come like, “Hey Dame, we want to have a call with you. Hey, we’re going to be making a move and we’re going to end up waving you. We appreciate everything that is business.” But also, there’s a courtesy that some of these NBA star players deserve. And now with the Milwaukee Bucks have, you have current players and former players tweeting about how dirty the Milwaukee Bucks did. Damen Lillard, especially by not telling him. You don’t want to have a reputation as an organization in Milwaukee in the Midwest. I may love to foe, but let me tell
the Packers do the same thing. You’re being a fraud right now.
Is different. That organization in Green Bay has something called history and a mystique about themselves and they’re competitive year in and year out. The Green Bay Packers are the last They have won championship since 2010. The Bucks have a championship more recent than the You could say that, but once Giannis leaves the Bucks, there is no mystique about Milwaukee, right? There is no real draw to Milwaukee. The Green Bay Packers have a draw of history of being able to play in Lambeau Field. When you think about the Milwaukee Bucks, the Milwaukee Bucks, the thing that we got going for us, I know I love the city. I love it. But these NBA players don’t understand how great the city is. They rather be in Miami. They rather be in LA. They rather be in Boston. And so when you think about that, you have to make sure that you have a good will around your organization. And the fact that you did dame dirty like this, this may have ramifications for the Bucks down the line. Because when players think about, do I want to go to Milwaukee? Oh no, that ownership group, they do people dirty. When they traded Drew Holiday, they did him dirty after winning a championship for them, then the way they traded him was extremely bogus. Oh, the way they did Dame on the way out. You know what? Dame found out he got cut when everybody else did. They didn’t even give him the courtesy of a phone call to a dude that’s a top 75 player of all time. It’s disrespectful by the Milwaukee Bucks. Now, should Dame about to be sad about it? No. Because you’re right, Dame’s going to get paid. And he actually he wins from this scenario because now he gets to go home. He gets to be around his family. Damn. There’s just a certain way that you should do business and it’s easy just to do a phone call to say, “Hey Dame, this is what we’re doing. We appreciate you.” He should not be finding out the same way you and I find out. That is disrespectful to a legendary player million dollar and he’s h he’s going to be happy to find a new change of scenery.
Listen, doing things the right way is what matters in life. And the Milwaukee Bucks in this sense, I don’t believe they went about it the right way. Moving on from Dane, perfectly fine. Get a boy a call. Let him know that you’re going to move on for him. Thank him for everything. and wish him the best of luck in the future. But again, I think it is a win for Dame at the end of the day because he gets to get paid, but then he gets to go to the West Coast and gets to be with his family. And more importantly, Dame gets to pick where his career is going to go next. So, all good for Dame, but I do think the Milwaukee Bucks were dead wrong for doing it this way. Let’s welcome Dirty D in. Diana from Iguano 800993776 on the carbless talking text line. Dirty Dizzle. Hey, Dirty D. Dirty D. Dirty D going once. Dirty D going twice. Dirty D sold. She is off the line.
Oh, wow. You selling people?
I mean, we auctioned off dirty.
I can’t do that. Stro, what are you doing over there? She’s back on. We sold her. We sold Dirty D. What do you
Do you even have your headphones on? People.
Okay. Well, too bad.
Are you there?
She’s not there. She’s not. That’s a full drop. You tell me not to touch the call screen. I had a full drop there because you weren’t didn’t have your headphones on and he didn’t have any idea what was going on.
What was happening? He said, “What are you selling people?
You selling people I was waiting for her to talk.”
Well, we were waiting for 15 seconds. You can’t have dead air.
Yeah. Well, hold on. First off, it’s not dead air. We could hear the beautiful sounds of I 94 in the background. Second off. Second off, I knew exactly what was going on. I feel like we should respect the people who respect us like dirty D. Uh Kyle’s talking nonsense. Business is business anywhere. That’s from Don. Tyler chimes in on the carbless talking text line. Don’t care. He didn’t really do much for us anyway.
That’s crazy, bro. Like, that is that is wild on the YouTube. Respect.
I disagree with Kyle. Packers don’t have an excuse. Dame is getting his money. Z and the D, your turn to respond to Kyle Wallace being Damen Lillard’s shield today.
Oh, we love Z and the D, don’t we? He’s our favorite. I love Z and the D.
Oh, Kyle, you don’t like me. Don’t put a fake Don’t put a fake persona on Kyle.
Whatever.
You don’t want that fake persona.
Nada. But hey, Kyle, was he employed by the Bucks, right?
Yeah, he was employed by
And so he’s calling for And so for him to tell the Bucks, “Yeah, I’m going to do all my rehab in Portland and not Milwaukee.” Isn’t that kind of a breach of a contract?
He asked to do it. He didn’t tell him he was doing it
according to reports.
But you I’m I’m pretty sure he was going to do it no matter what. Dirty D. Dirty D. Z and the D. Too many D’s around here. Z and the D. You can’t say that for certain. But I think with the Bucks being turned off by Damen Lillard trying to go to Portland to be with his family, not prioritizing the team. I think like it was it’s mutual. And then of course he’s going to go on Twitter and try to defend himself. Like he’s getting $113 million. I don’t know why you’re you’re the Damian. You are the Damian Lillard shield.
You might as well follow Damen Lillard, whoever team he goes next, cuz you have more loyalty to him than the Bucks.
No, I’m sorry that I’m a principal individual who believes in morals and believes in doing the right thing. I’m sorry that I have great core values in the fact that we should go about things the right way. I’m not saying waving him was a problem. It was crazy because the Bucks are going to have that cost for five years. It’s crazy. Crazy. But at the end of the day, the way they went about it is not telling. I just disagree with it. I’m not being a shield for Dame. I’m just being a shiver for humanity. That’s all I’m saying. And I’m thinking about the fact that if other NBA players are thinking about coming to Milwaukee, if you take Giannis out of the picture, ain’t nobody wanting to come to Milwaukee. Milwaukee is everybody’s last choice. Ben, if you got fired, would you want a heads up or preferred to be show up and your ID doesn’t work anymore. Common courtesy. Let a guy know.
That’s true.
For $113 million, I wouldn’t give a damn if if if my badge didn’t work. If if anything didn’t work, and you will lie, too. You you know you know Benjamin Brundion to work in his fashion work and he saw on social media that Ben Bruss has been let go from GKB. Ben Bruss would be trying to have a conversation. You guys didn’t even have the dang dignity to even let me know.
No, because if I had $13 million, I’d be like, “All right, whatever.”
Nah, you a liar.
No lie. March. March me to the office. Mar embarrass me. I want everybody to know I’m getting out. I’m getting fired. I want everybody to know cuz I’m going out. Wow. Marcus chimes in. Ben, you have more loyalty to Giannis than the Bucks. Damn right. Cuz the Bucks are nothing without Giannis. Period.
No, I mean Yeah, the loyalty should be to Giannis. The Bucks are are nothing without Giannis. I agree. And that’s
Sorry, Marcus. That I mean everything that works in the Milwaukee Bucks in this community is around the man that is the best one of the best players in the world. And that’s my whole here.
That’s my whole point. But at least you can build some type of ore around the organization how you do right by players. But the Bucks don’t do right by players on their way out. Obviously, clearly the way they traded Drew just like that and the way they did Damen Lillard just like that. Obviously don’t know how to handle protected Damen Lillard all segment. Tell others how they can protect themselves like you protected Damian. Oh, listen. I protected Damen Lillard, but I didn’t do as good a job as American Family Insurance would do with protecting you.

Especially if someone just telling me I don’t have to work is it? I’d be okay with it. I
What do you mean you be okay with it? Man, I know. I would I would be like, “Y’all bogus for that, but make sure my check matter of fact, I want my check ASAP.” I’ll be salty, though. I would be happy, but I’ll be salty. I’ll be like, “They bogus over there in Milwaukee.” I would I would, you know, I ain’t got no problem talking about people.
Yeah. Well, you’re just wrong once again. Kyle Brussen Norman across ESPN. You went to Is she back? Is she alive? Is she on 94? Hey, Dirty D. No, sorry, guys. I had a very important phone call that came in for my daughter. What could be more important? That’s why never mind. Never mind. No, don’t even go there, Ben. Okay, first of all, no, don’t let me cut Don’t cut me off, Ben. Let me finish. Shut up. Cut his mic. Shut up. Cut his mic.
Come on. Get to the point, Dirty D. Come on, girl.
Shut up, Ben.
Okay, I kind of agree with Kyle. The way they did it with Dame was a little disrespectful. He’s a human being. He should have deserved a phone call, but at the same time,
but you can take a phone call over us.
Shut up. Let her finish.
Listen.
Hey, listen. I am not really missing him that much because he was inconsistent. So, I really don’t think that it’s really going to hurt us that much for them to tra for them to get rid of him.

You’re listening to Kyle Branden Nortman on ESPN and the ESPN app. All right, reactions coming in on the fact that the Bucks didn’t let Damen Lillard know after he wanted to go rehab in Portland for his Achilles.
Respectful that they didn’t let him know that he was going to get waved and get paid 113 million to pick his next destination. Dame, what’s happening? This is uh John Horse just letting you know we’re uh we’re going to go in a different direction. We appreciate everything that you have. We’re going to wave your butt. We get all 113 million. We’re going to spread it over 5 years. You’re going to be able to rehab in Portland and also going to be able to
Does he have two eyes?
So, I appreciate you.
He can read about it. 8009903776. Allan in Milwaukee, you’re up.
What’s going on Allan?
Hey. Hey, what’s going on y’all? I told uh Sto I’m I’mma grieve with Kyle for once and I’mma try and convince Ben. Uh I’mma give y’all a real life use case. Uh, so when Dave and Busters first opened, like I think it was 2010, 2011, uh, you know, they have game techs that set up the games and repair the games and I was one of those first people that they hired. So I was like a group of like 10 of us that were hired right before they opened to set it all up and the work and stuff like that. So uh, for a while you couldn’t take any days off. Uh, that was throughout the whole throughout the whole building because, you know, grand opening blah blah blah. But then eventually they got around to like where business started to settle and whether you were a bartender or a waitress or whatever it was, they wouldn’t tell you you were you were like laid off. They would just take you off the schedule. So you would just be calling in week after week checking your schedule and there would be zero hours for you. They wouldn’t even call and tell you.
And uh this one guy that I worked with, you know, he took an extra day. He had like a 4 day weekend. He came in on his last day off, you know, to play games, do whatever with his son, and he had some paperwork that he needed uh signed by the, you know, manager for uh employment verification for school for money for school. And he went back in his office and have him sign it. And he came back out and he told me, he’s like, “Man, that dude wouldn’t sign my paperwork.” And he said, I was like, “Why? What happened?” He’s like, he said, “I don’t work here no more.” I was like, “Wow.” Now look, I I feel for that that bogus situation as well,
but this is different. Damen Lord’s getting $13 million by getting waved.
Still he was still shocked.
Yes, as he should be, but he’s not getting $13 million, which makes this not comparable.
I mean, no, you can still be shocked.
He cures.
They fired the man on his day off.
I feel for him, but that’s not what the story is with Damen Lillard. wanted to go to Portland to rehab his Achilles and not be around the Bucks facility, which is a telltale of him crying wolf now that he is feeling like he is locked out.
Whoa. Yeah.
Do you Now, now you’re just talking. Now you’re
No, I’m literally not.
No. No. Well, where you are,
Kyle? Is there any bleeding heart for the other guys that are no longer on the Bucks?
Like who?
You know, Pat Coneton. They probably called Pat cuz they told Pat about all the properties that he going to have to hire a property manager for. Hey Pat, you can’t be going there no more. You saw that on social media.
I forgot about that.
Going to be breathing down.
Yeah. Somebody too. For those who don’t know, it seems like Pat Conson’s got a lot of investments in
Yeah. Real estate. He came in. His dad’s like a real estate investor. He did it here. And and somebody that I don’t know if is a real or fake person goes, “Thank God he’s not going to be knocking on my door for rent each month.”
That just be, “Hey,
hey man, listen. It’s the It’s the 10th. Where my rent money at?
Yeah, I just picked up a $9.5 million option, but I need your rent.
I need this cash money. But no, I’m sure they’ll be Brook Lopez. He knew it was up. It was just the way they did it was cutthroat. He’ll be all right. But it’s just it’s bogus. I think they go they should go about it in a better way because they need to be building up who the identity of this organization is because Giannis isn’t going to be here forever. And you want people to understand when they come to Milwaukee, not only do they get great facilities, but they also they’re not going to get a great nightife, but you’re going to get an organization that you just took out your 414 like that. Listen, I love Milwaukee, but it ain’t just Listen, I’ve been to better places. Oh, wow. But
for night life? Yes. Yes. Oh, wow. I mean, there’s what, seven places to go to. I’ve been going to them since I was 19, 20. I mean, I only do so much. They’re open up new places. Okay. Stro, what are the hot spots? Madison, Milwaukee. Were where you taking a a Milwaukee Bucks player when they uh when they sign to the team? You want to come to the terrace and have a beer with me? Straight to Silka.
Oh wow.
Oh wow.
I don’t I’m not I don’t think you should do that. I think they’ll be like, “What?”
Yeah. No, they’d be like, “Well, these ain’t the same women we see in Atlanta.”
In all fairness, I I’ve never been there. I I was making a joke.
I’m going to take you there one day.
No, I’m all right.
Stro and Kyle go to Silk. Yeah, we should do that.
That’s a great YouTube short.
I think that’s a horrible idea.
Here go. $25 all one. Stro, have a good time, bro.
Oh, you give me 25. Actually, I’m thinking it might work. Give me money.
That was wild.
Probably more like 10.
I love my girl, but I ain’t spending $3,
but $25 silk for stroke.
It’d be probably about 20 between the two of us. Choose wisely. How you spending there?
Josh don’t spend a penny.
Josh from H Heartland chimes in as well. Is there a specific strategy strategy behind not telling players of transactions before they’re official? Well, the Bucks did have the uh Bdonovich trade n because of some conversation that they had. What was that trade, Benny? What was that trade? What happened there?
Uh, tampering. Sure, but what term was used? What do you mean what term? They tampered. No, they the the transaction was in what?
Peril.
That was That was no fun.
Yeah, because I’ve heard that liner from the old days when I said they were in piral. I didn’t know what the word peril was.
Pel. Uh, so yes,
that was Dante Deven Chinsel getting traded out that way, too, wasn’t it? Sure was
said we got Dante to even Tenjo for Serge Ibaka.
I mean it didn’t work out because we got Drew Four second round picks if I’m not mistaken
and then five for Jay Crowder.
We didn’t trade four second round picks with Dante to get Serge, did we?
No, he didn’t say that. Which traded four second round picks? Five second round picks for Jay Crow. What did we get for Sergey Baka?
Um
was it just Dante? Dante trade away Dante. Maybe we got a second round pick, too. Regardless, it wasn’t enough for the value that Dante is providing now versus what Sergeyaka did for the Milwaukee Box.
That’s the best draft pick he ever had.
Uh, he traded him.
Might be.
He was good back in the day.

Are you talking about the one collection?
Those rings say you are the one.
And they say it symbolically. Describe the symbols.
Every ring in the one collection should be presented with a special ritual.
What would that ritual be?
You pick up her left hand and you place a kiss on her ring finger.
Rick, you never told me about that part.
Then you show her the tiny red diamond. flush mounted inside the ring that will forever be in contact with her finger. Why is it red?
Because that’s when the giver says to the one, “Wherever you go, my heart goes with you.
I give you this kiss. I give you my heart.” The red diamond is a secret symbol of that sacred moment.
The center diamond on the outside of the ring is for the whole world to see.
But the tiny red created diamond inside the ring is only for the two of them. The one collection of engagement rings is available exclusively at Keslers. To find the Keslers nearest you,

ladies wheel of stroke. It’s time for the wheel of strobe. All right, another day, another dollar here on the wheel of stroke. I don’t like you spinning the wheel. You’ve been doing less push-ups since you’ve been spinning it.
I did 20 push-ups yesterday,
but you only did it once. Usually it lands on it twice.
Yeah, I like that I’m spinning the wheel. I also hurt my thumb yesterday,
which is why you shouldn’t be spinning the wheel.
You hurt something every day. You can’t function without getting hurt. Today you threw your arm. I’m said, “Oh, I I think I threw my shoulder.”
That was a joke. He also tried throwing a ball to me in the office in which he slammed it into the ground.
Bad throw.
He hit a desk first.
Yeah. Like you overthrew it and held the ball too long.
How did you hit desk? It was a straight shot. Desk were all exactly. Red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red. All right. Well, boys, I hate to go negative right away.
Devastating news today. Devastating. All right. What’s Every time you do this, it’s never What now?
Last night during the WNBA Commissioner Cup Half Show.
Oh yeah, you’re right on this one.
I know I am. Red Panda falls off her unicycle and was transported to a hospital. She’s 55 years old.
She’s old. She’s retired.
She look good.
I hope she’s okay, but she’s got to hang it up.
There’s been too many videos going around.
I think that unicycle is like 13 ft in the air.
Yeah, her it’s a it’s a bad fall. all. She landed directly on a rump. Her legs were out and she landed on a wrist. She had a wrist injury. She couldn’t really walk that well. She had to be wheelchaired off the court.
Father time is undefeated. I don’t know why she’s putting herself at risk anymore.
She’s the greatest halftime performer of all time.
Not anymore, Come on now. Come on. Respect. Respect.
I’m just saying like like of course like I mean what do you think she was going to do until she was 99?
She was going to try.
Well, now she doesn’t have to. She can retire. She’s made plenty of money going around the world. I hope she gets
Where’s Where’s Red Panda Jr.? I don’t know. I
I don’t think this is a Ken Griffy situation. Where’s the kid? She looked good. Where’s the kid?
Anybody else?
She looks great.
I thought she was like 45.
Oh yeah, she really looked good in a wheelchair.
She didn’t look good in the wheelchair.
I mean, once they get in the wheelchair, then all of a sudden the attractiveness goes away. Not saying she’s attractive. I’m just saying that, you know,
she she didn’t look 55. I’m shocked.
I’m just going to say it sounds like you’re calling her attractive.
No. No. I mean for 55
and then a wheelchair made her ugly is what Kyle just said.
We have to admit she she looked like a little cougar now knowing she was 55. Cougar
for 55.
She wasn’t hitting on you. She was catching bowls on her head attempting to. She’s lost her fastball. She didn’t even have bowls in play last night. She got
She’s lost her fastball. Here’s what I think happened. Slippery floor.
I think so, too.
Wet spot. Wet spot. They need to sue the hell out of the W.
How how much do the moppers make in
when her bicycle was or or unicycle was stolen at the airport?
Yeah,
I do remember that. Yes, I do remember that. Po thing. Hope she didn’t break her leg. I mean, how do you not have a backup unicycle? You’re the red panda.
I mean, I imagine those things aren’t cheap to fly. She No, I just saw her fall. Oh, no.
Bad fall,
guys. She fell forward and you can just see it in her eyes.
No, it was the fall was bad. I hope she’s okay. But it’s time,
father time.
Can we be honest? Honestly, circle for a second. How many different videos of that did you watch last night?
I watched every angle though. It’s too It’s just too hard to see.
I watched every angle. Cruel and unusual.
No, I was sad. So, humble brag. My girlfriend used to be an NBA dancer for the Indian Pastor.
Oh, this is the first time you told that story, huh?
I think so. At least on this on on this platform.
No, you’ve said it many times.
All right. Well, my girlfriend used to be a dancer in the NBA.
Cool. And so she she like met Red Panda a few times and I had to tell her I had to break this news to her last day. She cried.
Good. Good for her. I’m glad she has a
She’s not cruel like Ben. Yeah, I’m soulless today.
You don’t have to tell anybody. They’re getting fired. Red Pandas
for 113 million. You don’t
I feel like this is more devastating. No offense to Tyresese Hallebertton. More devastating than Tyresese Hallebertton’s Achilles tear in game seven of the NBA Finals. This is about as bad as it gets. That dang unicycle.
I wish I could read Collins text. I can’t.
Why can’t you read it?
Cuz it says shot at you.
Me or him?
You.
Oh, what? What? Go ahead. You say it. Move the screen over. I want
Can’t read it. Can’t read it. Red, red, red, red, red, red, red. Now, keep the show rolling.
Oh yeah. I’m going to read this dang text message. What they said, Chris?
No, no, no. Tarina. Well, I mean, I guess while they’re doing push-ups, I do want to say this. This is a travesty that Red Panda career may be over simply because of slippery floor at the dang commissioner’s cup. This could have been a career ending injury. I don’t get to see this old woman flip cups and flip bowls on her head while riding on a unicycle. She is a national treasure. I don’t think she’s from here. How’d you do? Getting
stronger back there,
actually. Yeah, dude. Well, I got to tell you, since my kidney stone, I was feeling real fatigued the last few days.
Today, I woke up with ball energy. I woke up earlier than I typically do. I feel great. I’m back to normal. Shout out to Doc.
Dr. Jonathan Stro.
Oh, by the way,
are you smarter than Ben Bruss is coming up next? Oh, wow. Oh, yeah. We didn’t do yesterday. Oh, wow. Who’s reading the question? Stro. I’ll find out together. Yeah. Red. Are you serious,
Kyle? Try to talk. That’s blue.
No, you just moved it, dude.
That’s blue. That blue the whole time.
He’s so scared of push-ups cuz he’s out of breath. I’m a little sore. I’m not going to lie.
Weak.
Yeah, that’s accurate. That’s an accurate statement. Uh 63, like a buck 70.
I still don’t believe the whole buck 70.
I think it’s like a buck 75 these days. I got a little bit of a belly. Um so Brewers just won by the way. Joey Ortiz’s grand slam. How about Joey Ortiz?
How about Sure. Yeah. Give credit to Joey Ortiz. I’m just curious what the first app bat of the game was if anybody
a Salr only two games back of the Chicago Cubs. All of a sudden, fellas 11 games over 500.
They’re catching the Cubs, right? I mean,
they’re catching the Cubs.
We We It matters in September. Right now is good. You want to do
I hate that mindset.
Hate it. Hate it.
People wake me up with the playoff start. Bologn sausage. That’s ridiculous. Don’t be ridiculous.
I just, you know, I’m scarred from when the Milwaukee Brewers had to fire Ron Renick, I think it was, and hired Dale.
You got to heal some scars. No, you got to remember the past in order so you don’t run into it in the future. You got to utilize that to move forward. And I’ll never forget that. Never forget it, man. We just blew it again a couple years ago, too. Remember what? Uh
well, the Cubs blew it a couple years ago, too.
Yeah, I know. I’m I’m all for it. Let’s We got to focus on grinding and keep doing what we’re doing. Don’t focus on September. Focus on July. Okay. Is that it?
Focus on September. No,
focus on July. Don’t focus on September. Focus on July.
Who’s focusing on? You’re the only one that brought up September.
No, I’m saying focus on winning now. You guys are talking about, you know, catching them. Who cares?
I think they’re going to catch them like this week is what I mean.
Okay, great. Now, we just need to sustain it. What was the question? You said blue.
I said they’re going to catch the Cubs.
Oh, that is awesome, right?
Oh, that’s the blue. Okay. Oh, and Kyle hates the Brewers and the Bucks is what we learned today.
No, no, no. That’s not true. I I love my Brewers.
This is exciting.
And he only cared about Red Panda’s age, not her injury.
And the Miz is on the back hand back half of this double header.
Oh, it’s going to be a stroke.
One more. Red. Do you have this thing weighted on blue? It’s green. Do your eyes not work? Yeah, I think you need to go to the optometrist. All right, last one for you. The New York Knicks, after a long search, have found their new head coach. It’s Mike Brown, the two-time NBA coach of the year. What are they doing exactly? They just made it to the Eastern Conference Finals with Tom Timida.
Players like Tibs,
they fire him and now they bring in a retread who’s done it time and time again.
Why are you trying to make sense of the Knicks? It’s a fair point. I try to make sense of everything in sports because I think there’s a rhyme and reason to everything.
Dolan had it. He finally got it right. He legitimately finally had it right.
Did you read the James Dolan theory? I think it was Ryan Rousillos. Have you heard about this? No. So James Dolan owns the sphere in Las Vegas, the beautiful the beautiful music venue and they believe and Ryan Rillo tells it in the way of he believes that James Dolan had all of his time and energy and effort towards the sphere. And then all of a sudden the Knicks got good again and he’s like wait a minute I remember my shiny toy. So he went back to the Knicks. He’s like I need to put I need to put my handprints all over this and here they are with Mike Brown as their new head coach despite free agency being over 48 hours in. I think that is actually a great theory in rational. It’s a really good theory
for why like this. They the Knicks were getting it right. The Knicks were developing a really good basketball team and then they just completely messed it all up. Now Mike Brown is a good basketball coach, but Tibs, I don’t think it was time for Tibs to go. I think they should have just tried to ride it out for another year or two at Tibs to see if he can get him over the hump because that was a competitive, gutsy basketball team.

Yeah. Get up out of here.
Joining us now from our heavily popular morning show.
Oh, wow.

What a treat. What a treat.
Jen, hi Jen La. How are you? Good afternoon, gentlemen. Good afternoon. Happy to hear from you. And our contestant today, Kyle, is Scott in Milwaukee. But before we get to that and all of the rules, let’s spin it. going to be a test later. Now we’re back in school. Are you smarter than he used to be?

Are you smarter than Ben Brust? Which is presented by our friends at Lakeland University. Ben’s record on the calendar year is atrocious. Four wins, 17 losses, four ties. I mean, that’s as bad as it gets. As I mentioned, Scott and Milwaukee are contested today. Jen Lada from Jen Gave and Chewy. Weekday mornings from 7:00 to 9:00 on 945 ESPN reader. Scott in Milwaukee, how confident are we feeling today? Uh, well, I was feeling good, but uh now I feel pressure that he’s only won four times, so I better keep the streak going and beating him.
No pressure. No pressure. Do your best. That’s all we ask.
And Jen’s going to hook you up, too. She’s not going to let Ben win. I’m not saying there’s any collusion, Jen, but I know you’re going to do whatever you can to to make sure Ben loses, right, Jen? Actually, I’m pretty confident I don’t have to do anything to help Ben lose. So, uh, we’re just going to read the questions. Pretty straightforward here, Dang.
That’s That’s very true. That’s all we need to do. Scott, just to give you a heads up, 15 seconds. You’ll have 90 seconds to answer as many as you can. If you don’t know the answer, you can say skip or pass. We will come back to it if time allows. Any questions, Scott, before we get going?

I don’t think he got it off. I think the buzzer the buzzer went off and she hadn’t started reading the question yet. I got to go retrieve Ben. I will let you and Jen discuss.
Yeah. Jen, what do you think? Did you think you read the question?
I was in the middle of the question when I heard the buzzer go off. Had a slight pause because I know your rule is counts if he gets it. I think I was in the question.
Okay. Well, if you think you’re in the question and that you know what, that’s all good cuz we’ll let KBAN Nation go back and forth with you to decide that. So that uh we we’ll we’ll roll with that one. Good job today. So, how do you feel? You feel confident now? Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Let me stop talking.
What are you looking for, Ben? I usually pop in here and look for somebody on video, but I see a Jen on line one. I I’m pretty good at context clues sometimes.
There it is. Why you always looking? Why don’t you just let it come to you? Always snooping around here.
I’m trying to get my bearings, man. Leave me alone.
Jen, cook them today. Cook them. I I don’t think I have a choice in the matter. I’m pretty sure that Ben is pretty good at sabotaging himself, isn’t he?
Cook yourself, Ben, is what you should have said.
Pretty true. Pretty true.
Yep. Completely accurate. Ben, you know how the game
feeling, Ben? You feeling good?
I’m always feeling good. Now, the results, we’ll see if it follows.

You know how the game is played. 15 questions say skip or pass. You have 90 seconds to do it. You’ve done this a few times. I think you know how how it goes. You feel good.
Everyone keeps asking me if I feel good. Yes, I feel good.
I can tell it’s irritating here. That’s why I did it again. You’re good, though.
Yes, I’m great.

Hold on. Hold on. We could have a controversy, but I don’t think it’s a controversy.
What is that? Question two. What is a paleontologist study? You said bones. The answer’s fossils. I gave it to you.
Yeah. I mean, dinosaur bones. Same thing. Texas. Huh.
Yeah. City. Last time I checked.
The Alamo is found in what city?
In what city? Jen’s probably covered many games.
Once again, Texas, not a city. Houston.
Still wrong.
You don’t know. That’s okay.
That’s a city at least.
Is it in Texas?
I actually haven’t because San Antonio not a uh not a college football spot we go to very frequently. I thought I thought it be the bowl games in the college football playoff. I don’t
I also had one thing I wanted to run by you guys. So, what color is the G in the Google logo? There’s actually two G’s in the word Google. I didn’t know if you wanted me to say the capital G. I don’t know if the G’s are the same color. It didn’t matter because you didn’t get it right. But I didn’t know if there was a controversy.
I always multiple colors.
Bad bad written question by me.
Bad written. When I look at the logo like it shows up as like every color.
I thought it was multiple colors.
So I’m right.
I was confused.

Good job. Because you know what I mean?
Good job.
You got you won by one and I’ve had two eight spots. That’s at least, you know, somewhat of a
a little over 50%.
Yeah. Well, we didn’t get all the questions, so you don’t have to judge it by that.
Okay. All right. Now, even higher grade.
Look at you. I’m proud of you. Um, are we doing here Brad out? Yes. However, I need to locate the audio file.
Of course you do.

8009903776 is the cardless talking text line for you to chime in.
When he had HBO in a rundown, I didn’t know what he was talking about. I was like, “What the hell?” That’s right, Greg. Benny is back. 20 and one the last three. And are you smarter than Ben Brust?
Congrats, I guess. Um, I got to step my game up, man. Uh, last summer we went through a similar slope as well where you just kept beating me, but I’ll get my fastball back like I had to start the year.
Used to take it hard.
Yeah, he used to he used to like lose sleep over the amount of times I was wearing.
Well, I’ve told the story before, but Greg Scowl, our market manager, our boss’s boss, um, sat me down when I moved here and he said, “You got to get that segment right.” And I did. Anyway, um, what did you just say?
I saw HBO in the rundown. I was like, what in the heck is HBO? What was
You’ve been doing the show for two years. This is one of the few segments that’s been on the air for two years.
When you hear HBO, do you think of here bred out or do you think of HBO? I think of Here, Bread Out now.
I think I think of what I’ve never seen it spelled out that way. Usually on our rundown, it says
it’s an acronym
for something we do every Wednesday.
Maybe we got a good story about HBO. Can’t wait to hear it. Well, maybe that’s what Brad has, but I don’t think that’s what it is. Here we go.
They say punters are people, too.
Punters are worthy of breaking news.
No, really, that’s what they say.
Raising awareness everywhere that punters are people, too.
Okay, let’s go to it. Time to hear from the punter. Time to hear Brad out.
All right, guys.
All right, guys. It is week three of here Brad out summerfest edition. Let’s recap really quickly. Week one, back to 11 straight days and a karaoke stage. Week two, summer fest slumber party and NFL combine at the Gruber Law Offices Sports Zone. And now, time for the grand finale, if you will, with two more ideas to make Summerfest even better than it already is. And it’s already awesome. Here we go. Number one, you add one more day at the end of Summerfest. Maybe it’s the Sunday after the last one. And it’s all surprise acts. Nobody know who’s showing up. Whether it be the side stages or the main stage, it is all surprise acts. Imagine going to Summerfest and you don’t know who’s going to be there. You don’t know if it’s going to be a headliner, someone that you had no idea was going to be there. Or you go there and guess what? Maybe there’s a little bit of a disappointment. But here’s the kicker. It’s a 50% off ticket. That’s right. The fun keeps going. They’re rewarded. the the fans that love going are rewarded with another day of fun. 50% off and you don’t know who’s showing up. Surprise a final day. And finally, the grand finale of them all, an AI hologram stage. Oh, I thought I drone all the great acts of the past of Summerfest. You get to see hologram style putting on a show for you. For instance, you know, RIP Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Man, I saw them at Summerfest like 10 years ago. What I would give to see Tom Petty again in concert. Go ahead and throw him on the hologram stage. It could even be like, you know, bands that played back in the 70s like the Rolling Stones, maybe even a little Bob Marley. Whoever it is, it could be past their prime. They could be not with us anymore. There would be so many ways to make that stage unbelievable. Even think about this one. So, one of my parents’ first dates, shout out to Papa and Mama Norman, one of their first dates was Marshall Tucker Band at Summerfest. Imagine going back all the way to the early 80s and taking that same exact concert and playing it. Rekindled Love. Who wouldn’t love that? So many great shows that I would love to relive and be able to see because maybe the chance has come and gone. an AI hologram stage at Summerfest. Not creepy, amazing. So, that is the grand finale of Here Brad Out, Summerfest Edition. One more night, all surprise acts, 50% off tickets, and the AI hologram stage. To recap, Summerfest, thank me later, 11 straight days, karaoke stage, Summerfest slumber party, NFL combine day, one night of surprise acts, and the AI hologram stage. We are making Summerfest the biggest musical festival in the world. Even bigger thanks to Here Brad Out and the first of many series for Here Bradout Ideas. Oh, a tease.
Oh,
he’s going to do more series. Well, this last one, um,
I mean, the surprise, you’re gonna have to really bring it for
if you have to give your idea for the first time and follow it with 50% off tickets.
No, no, no, no. Not creepy. Yeah,
he said a hologram stage. Not creepy.
I mean, but it is.
Who’s Who’s buying a ticket to go see people they don’t know who’s playing?
I would I that one I love that idea. That’s a terrific idea. I’m all in on the uh surprise acts.
No. No, but what if they suck? First off, live music rarely if ever sucks.
I mean, if you don’t know I mean, okay, to Easterone to Easter. If I don’t know the artist, I’m kind of
I I think Brad has done a terrific job of appealing to me the last three weeks.
AI hologram stage.
That one’s so stupid. No, no, that that was the one that was interesting because I saw AI hologram or not AI. I just saw a hologram Tupac perform a couple years ago. Do they just play his old songs with a hologram of him on stage?
Hologram on stage rapping. It’s It’s interesting. I don’t I would need some beverages in me for me to be able to really get into it. But I think it going back to the shows that they had before. That would be cool cuz I’ve seen some really good shows at Summerfest. Remember that Whiz Khalifa show? Well, you probably
8009903776. Overall reaction and feelings towards this here bred out series of helping make Summerfest even better. I do like the idea of adding an extra day on the last weekend for Sunday or Wednesday.
For Sunday for those true concert goers, you’re rewarding the people who love Summerfest most.
I would even say buy one get one. I think that sounds better. Let me It’s the same.
I know. I just think it it sounds better.
It does. I agree.
Like, hey, you buy one, you’re getting one free. 50% off for everyone. I don’t know. I just from a marketing standpoint, buy one, get one. I I love the the surprise act idea. I actually think that’s brilliant. I think they should do that on one stage like once every fest. Just go, “Hey, this stage we’re gonna not announce. We’re gonna tell you the genre, but we’re not going to tell you
it needs they need.”
Could you imagine showing up and you hate the band and you’ve been waiting to see the band come out and you’re like, “Oh man.” Yeah. But that’s the beauty of Summerfest. You can walk away. Like I’ve seen several bands who I was excited to see at Summerfest and then I was super disappointed with how their vocalist sounded. So I walk away. I go to a different page. Did you hear this guy? I was super disappointed. I’m a vocalist. Did you go all 11 days this year?
Uh, no. Nine days.
It’s nine days. I’m going to make it to eight of nine. I’m going to go all three days again this week, kind of thing.
Did you Did you pay for any or did you steal more tickets?
Pety Pablo says, “D chat GPT.” Just a bunch of chat GPT songs that Stro’s made on our program at Summerfest.
Oh, yeah. Stro, you haven’t made your song in a while.
I don’t like AI art. Yeah, I was gonna I was going to call you out for this because last Friday obviously uh you took off.
We were off. Yeah.
This Friday we’re off. Yeah.
We haven’t heard the Stro Green Bay Packers offseason parody song
from last week.
Last week this week.
Well, la this week’s will be played tomorrow for Kyle.
Oh, you should save it.
For when? For when they’re back. It’s Monday. It’s just me.
Yeah, it’s for us. For next Friday. I
I didn’t tell you guys what happened last week. I started making a song and I jumped ship. I do have a version of it. You want to hear it? Wait.
Of course I want to hear it.
It’s really bad. It’s It’s so unbelievably bad. I don’t even want to play it for you. Give me a second.
Well, we’ll give you a second because I’m going to tell everybody about Road America cuz that’s America’s National Park of Speed where we’re going to be there July 30th. Can’t wait. Vroom vroom. It is a beautiful facility with something to do for every age. You can ride a golf cart around. Bring your mopeds. I love watching people drive around the track to get different views.

Stay for the race. Go to roadamea.com to get your tickets. That’s roadame.com. I cannot wait for what is next on Kyle Brussenorman. It is an Alex drove horrible Green Bay Packers offseason parody song that he was probably too hung over to actually put words together for. Next,
you’re listening to Kyle Brton Nortman, KBN.
I’m a seam head now. You can call me whatever you want.
Seam head.
I don’t even know what that is. That means I’m a baseball dork. All I do is sit and watch MLB Big Inning at night.
Seam head.

If the Lakers are insistent that they’re not moving off of Austin Reeves and that he’s going to be the co-star for Luca Donuch long term, then I don’t know that this Lakers team around LeBron and Luca can get good enough to challenge the other powers in the Western Conference. I just don’t see a world in which that exists. The Lakers have too many team needs, right? They’ve got to address the center position in a major way and they’re going to have to figure out how they’re going to get more on ball defenders. their perimeter defense right now is trash bags. I struggle to see a world in which the Lakers can get good enough around LeBron and Luca to contend for a championship. I I just I don’t see how that happens and I don’t know how they get remotely close if they wouldn’t be willing to include Austin Reeves in some type of package to bring over another All-Star caliber player.

Now that was nice.
Stro has been putting together Packers offseason parody songs and they’ve been good. Like I’ I’ve been impressed by his creative abilities. uh putting together the topic of the week into a song that entertains all of you and
me and Kyle and Brad and everyone alike. Make sure you go to YouTube at ESPN Milwaukee. Uh be our 10,000th subscriber as well. That’d be fun. Uh ESPN Milwaukee on YouTube, ESPN Madison, subscribe as well. Stro, talk to me a little bit. I don’t like your face. So, as I mentioned last segment, so last week’s saw, I was off on Friday, so I didn’t even have a Friday to generate ideas.
Um, so I tried to record this Thursday prior to Made Them Believe, uh, which was an awesome event at the Morphe, the Oreium in Madison. I didn’t have ample time and I just didn’t have ample inspiration. So, I ended up jumping ship. I essentially half made a song. Um, it’s not very good. I’ve told you this, but you’re insistent on playing it.
We have to hear the trash. It’s really bad, but I promise to make it up to KBN Nation either tomorrow or Monday. It sounds Monday.
Monday or Yeah, when Yeah, we’re all back.
Okay, I’ll I’ll make it up to you Monday. Um, it’s bad. That’s about all I can say. All right. It’s bad from Alex Stro. Is that the title of the song?
Who’s bad? Stro’s bad.
Oh, MJ. Okay. No. Ready?
Are you?
No.
Here we go. The bears thought love was only true in tidle town. Meant for someone else, but not for clowns. Love is out to get them. That’s the way it seems. Caleb Williams disappoints their dreams. When I saw love’s face, I’m a believer. Not a trace of doubt in my mind. I love love. I’m a believer. I couldn’t be a bear if I tried. Listen, you got Listen, you got to have a throw.
What was What was so What was so like humil humiliatingly bad about that?
The lyrics were pretty
The lyrics were trash. There was no theme.
Yeah. And I can tell in your voice you’re just not there. wasn’t bought in. Um, Smashmouth’s hard to cover.
It’s It was all bad. I don’t know. It It It was fine, I guess. But
Carter wants to know because he doesn’t want to be that guy. Is it Chat GPT making these hits or is Stro
coming from the heart? He’s cooking.
100% me.
I don’t I don’t use any assistance. I Sometimes I bounce lyrics off other people, but I’ve never used a robot for this. He
He does some brainstorming, but usually it’s brainstorming to get his mind to hit the right thing. Well, here here’s what we’re gonna do. We’re gonna give you a chance to play your your favorite right now as we are teasing Monday, your next real hit coming to the market. That wasn’t bad though. It wasn’t great. Like listen, if you make a whole album album, not every song’s going to be a bad
There’s a song that people going to skip by, right? That can be like a fake interlude. It didn’t have any direction. I didn’t know where you were going with it. You didn’t have enough bashing of Caleb Williams, Caleb Williams. I mean, it you know, you were you were under pressure. You’re in Madison and you really were thinking about Made Them Believe and you made a trash song. But that’s okay. You can’t be perfect. No response. I mean, I’m I was trying to encourage you. Be positive. He ain’t got nothing to say.
He’s He’s too busy trying to pull up his best hit cuz he wants to feel good about himself.
I I don’t think the the OG is the best one. All right. Well, I think the OG is the best one.
Oh, no. The best one.
Bye bye bye is the best one.
What do you think? I want to hear what you think. You think it’s between We Didn’t Start the Fire, which was the original one, or Gy’s dad, like Stacy’s mom?
No, it it’s the OG. We’ll surprise us. Stro, what do you think is what I said? This is so good. The Green Bay Packers offered a contract comparable with what the Ravens contract. Would he still be a Packer today?
Yes. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is good.
Dad says, “What’s going on?” Dad says, “What’s going on?” Dad says, “What’s going on?” Dad says, “What’s going on?” Ger, can I come over to Baltimore? Baltimore. We can hang around and play catch with Lamar. Play catch with Lamar. Did Goody give you a contract you want. Contract you want. December 28th at Lambo. You can taunt. Lambo. I know we’re not the defense that we used to be. Since Joe Bar walked out, it’s all about happ. You’re moving out and we waited for so long. J, can’t you see you’re just not bad for me? I know it might be bad, but I’m a fan of Gir’s dad. Dad says, “What’s going on?” Dad says, “What’s going on? Come on.” Hey, that’s a hit. That is a hit.
Come on.
We didn’t start the fire.
That is a perfect goodbye.
That was fire, boy. You cooked. You cooked with that one. You can do it.
We got part time. Part time. I was a cook. It was fire, wasn’t it? This is This is the best one by far. Aaron Rogers, Jordi Nelson, Brett Favre, Don Hudson, at your Bennett Bot Star Go Pack. Go. Yeah. Jordan Love, Matthew Golden. Touchdown on the Lions, Lambo Leaps, Cheese Heads, 100 days to go. Come on. This cooks solid. Alexander J. Will he even be here? Full hosted the draft. September brings touchdown craft. Matt the floor half. How great can it be? New press policy. Mark Murphy. Goodbye.
We didn’t start the fire. Green and gold are blazing. All the fans are praising. We didn’t start the fire from the draft to glory. It’s the same old story. Very good. Very, very good. You know what? I just discovered
uh was that
the Green Bay Packers are such a weird organization.
I thought I thought
that’s your takeaway
because I see
Why was my music your takeway?
Mark Murphy goodbye. And I assume just like any other, you know, organization, right? or any business usually, you know, your fiscal year either ends June 30th or the fiscal year ends December 31st and the new year starts January 1st or July 1st. Do you know that Mark Murphy is actually the president till he’s 70? So like it’s once so you mean to tell me he turns 70 in the middle of football season. He would be like immediately kicked out in the middle of football season.
Uh I would imagine there’s probably a route around that.
Yeah, maybe like a grace period.
July 13th. His birthday’s July 13th before training camp and then they’re officially handing it off at the owners meeting which I assume you’re attending, right?
Uh yeah, I’ll be up there. Yeah. Is that the I don’t think it’s on the first day of training camp this year.
Uh first
I think it’s different. I think it’s a different day this year.
Oh, Ed Policy’s birthday is October 6th. Uh
oh, we’re going to have
So if he is the president for like 13 years, I think he’s 57.
Well, I don’t know what they would do. My point would be probably you would see through to the Super Bowl and then transition in the offseason.
You can’t.
You literally can’t.
You literally can’t. It’s in their bylaws that have to be done at age 70.
Then he’s got to hand it over before the season.
Yeah. Right. Right before Right. kind of right right when they did at mini camp again. End of mini camps before training camp. You hand it over. That was Kyle’s takeaway was still being fas fascinating to me.
I thought he was done. Mark Murphy goodbye. Oh, Ed policy. It’s a new president now, but I guess not. Not not until July 13th. We’ve talked a lot about the Milwaukee Bucks and what they’ve done. We could also talk about what the Green Bit Packers didn’t do. And I want to hear from Jeremy Fowler on the other side because this was something about the Packers in free agency and what they were looking to potentially do. Before we get to that, there’s somebody that never needs to retire because they can do it whenever they want cuz they’re the best. But I would never want to see them go cuz she’s just amazing at what she does. It’s Gina Dela from Pella
KB LA Gina Joe the team came to my house and they made windows so much fun like bringing their equipment showing me when I had my window how much heat was getting in versus their window how much heat was going to stay in or cool air I’m in that right now guess what bill hits right around the 31st the 1st the 2nd it’s my energy bill and it literally has shot down so much I couldn’t be happier with the investment I’ve made getting my entire first floor with the financing offers that Gina Dell and their entire team offer you. The Pella Experience Center also like I made that my playground. It was awesome. You can feel, see, open, close, compare. You can do it all at the showroom. Seven different Pella lines side by side right there. Stop by because if you order before July 31st, you can get 0% interest for up to five years. 0% up to five years by July 31st. I’m telling you, it’s worth the consultation to see if you’re in the middle of summer and you want to get the energy bill down, you want to upgrade your home, it’s a no-brainer with Pella Door, Pella Windows and Doors of Wisconsin. I did it. You did it. Touch did it. We all are smart and need to do it. Gina Del from Pella is the absolute best. Pellawi.com get that consultation. Jeremy Fowler on moves the Packers potentially were looking to make in the offseason. I was a little shocked by this.
This is Kyle Brustin Nortman, KBN. Yeah, let them do it. I ain’t doing it.

This is Kyle Bron Nortman on ESPN Wisconsin and the ESPN Wisconsin app. It started with a whisper and that is when I kissed her and then she made my this morning on Get Up on ESPN. Jeremy Fowler, NFL insider reporter, shared some insight on the TJ Watt situation. Yes, and I mentioned TJ Watt. Don’t get overly excited, but there is a little Packers information in here on Kyle Brussen Orortman across ESPN Wisconsin. See us on YouTube at ESPN Milwaukee and at ESPN Madison. And always chime in on the Carbless Talking Text line 8009903776 trophy. Here’s Jeremy Fowler on Get Up. Yeah, I’m going to make TJ Watt happy the player. Hey, come home to Wisconsin, baby. Come play for the hometown home area Packers. The Green Bay Packers are actually low-key looking at the pass rush market around free agency, potential trades, potential signings. They have some new cap space after they moved on from J.R. Alexander, the star quarterback. Why not use that money to make TJ B the highest paid edge rusher? Listen, Jeremy Fowler, this is what I don’t need you doing.
Jeremy.
J Oh, I say Jeremy all the time.
Jeremy, listen. What I don’t need you doing is getting us all excited in Green Bay like this false thing is ever gonna happen. The Packers aren’t gonna get TJ Watt. We know that. We understand that. Don’t even put that into the atmosphere to get our excitement all the way up. But the little thing, the little nugget that he dropped inside of there. I don’t know if you caught this. Did you catch this stro for Ben? He said the Packers are lowkey. Low key.
Now listen, I I the the term lowkey. Jeremy must be a a millennial because that is a term that us millennials like to use is low-key. And low-key means the Green Bay Packers are trying to they’re they’re trying to figure out whether or not they like what they have on this roster.
They should have been highkey lowkey looking at the pass rush.
They should have been highkey looking at the pass rusher.
I I No, I I agree. They should get the lowkey highkey. It should be highkey, but the fact that they’re low-key evaluating that means the Green Bay Packers probably and Goodian isn’t satisfied with the defensive line room, which means there may be some additions that they may make. Now, I know when they got rid of Jier Alexander, I think the next roster move after that was signing a defensive lineman. And so, I really hope the Green Bay Packers are low-key trying to find a defensive lineman and add depth to the defensive line that we know was not good enough last year. Uh-oh, breaking news.
No, that’s not the breaking news sounder. That is the KBN sports desk that we’ve had forever now. Okay, he now has said both he doesn’t know the acronym HBO for here Brad out and second still doesn’t know the sounder we’ve been using for over a year. I don’t understand how your brain works. Had nothing to do with why I chimed in. Um just confirming Jeremy Fowler indeed a millennial. He is 40 years old.
Yeah, he said low key. That’s how I knew he was a millennial based on I’m Gen Z and I said low key.
I think y’all following behind us. I knew he wasn’t no uh Gen Z or with the age that he is. But no, anybody who’s a Packers fan and it shouldn’t be the TJ Watt because TJ Watt’s not happening. Listen, that’s in fantasy land. But the fact that the Green Bay Packers are maybe
You spent an entire off season living in a fantasy land of wanting.
You make no sense,
Trey Hendrickson.
I I want
and thinking it was a real possibility.
I It It should have been a possibility, but it’s just the facts of life of the Green Bay Packers are going to be making that type of move. And so what I’m saying is Jeremy Fer, it’s one thing Kyle Wallace saying it, it’s another thing with Jeremy Fowler saying it. Don’t say that nonsense cuz it’s not true. But other than that though, the fact that the Packers are low-key looking at some talent on the defensive line, I think there’s some guys out there that
that was in free agency like a while back. I think he’s referencing about low-key looking at the defensive line.
Well, I mean, Devian Clowny is somebody that’s still available. And if we get closer to the season, he’s still a free agent and the Packers still don’t feel great about what they had defensive line. I take a flyer on him for one season. I mean, he’s not a bad player. he was as productive or probably more productive than what you saw out of Rashawn Garry last year.
No, I just I know I know the question always goes back to Al when the especially after the Bucks yesterday whether you think the move for Miles Turner was big enough. They made a major move by waving Damen Lillard to try and get Miles Turner, which they did like that. That was a big move.
Miles Turner has been an all-star. This is that’s a big move. Holistically speaking, it is a big move for all they had to do to get one player. Now, holistically speaking, for the Packers, I don’t think their roster is in a spot where this year, now, if you were able to get TJ Watt for a long-term deal, I’m not going to say no to that ever. I just I just, again, until the Packers make a move like this, it’s been since what that they’ve we always go back to
the Packers don’t do trades.
2010. Maybe like like a big signing even like Peppers Julius Peppers 2013 2014 whenever that was obviously Charles Woodson Reggie White
Reggie White but like like
from a trade perspective
but all that all that is over such a long period of time that I’m with Kyle of like
it it’s it’s fun to hear but it’s almost in a way maybe I just did a disservice of having you play that because it’s useless to hear in a way
it is useless to hear but something that you said is that you don’t believe the Green Bay Packers ers are in a position where they should be even making this move. That means that you don’t think the Green Bay Packers roster is good enough to even be able to get TJ Watt and to have that elevate them. Who would elevate it elevate them? I don’t think it would elevate them to a Super Bowl.
You get TJ Watt because you believe that that could put your team over the top to win a Super Bowl, which I believe that this Green Bay Packers team based off how good the offense has been and what I think they will continue to.
You think TJ Watt could
Yes, TJ Watt is
at plus 2,000 to win a Super Bowl right now. I think TJ Watt immediately makes the Green Bay Packers a top two team in the NFC. Immediately.
I agree. He is really impactful.
No, he’s he’s in he’s strong.
And hopefully the idea would be outside of his production, you can get some production out of the others that you’ve been waiting for because they’re not good enough to do the production on themselves because we’ve been seeing the last three years. Do you think what I was about to say? Do you think the other guys on that defense and Cam Hayward Cam Hayward with the Steelers defense is really good, but they have other rushings like Highmith and even uh you know kid that used to play for the Packers,
Nick Heric,
Nick Kerb played for the Badgers
Benton in the inside.
They’re all they’re all better because the attention that TJ Watt commands. So that means the Green Bay Packers
and that’s what they’re missing is we’re relying on a defensive line to do something in a drastic way in which we don’t know if the pieces they have have the one person that can drastically help the rest of the defense.
We don’t know. What do you mean we don’t know? I
I’m I’m trying to be a fact of the matter that we do know that they don’t have it. If they had it, Rashan Gary would be that guy.
Stop yelling at me.
Well, I mean, you said you said something. You said we don’t know, bro. We’ve seen enough. I don’t know. You’re buying into the Oh, you need seven years to figure out whether or not
I’m not buying into it.
And Clark’s going to have a bounce back year. Oh, be
you know how I feel about the defensive line. I don’t think it’s talked about enough how they’re running it back with a defensive line after losing an allpro. I know he wasn’t going to be uh on the team anymore, but now you have, you know, a an okay to good quarterback room. And those two have to work together. Like the pressure you get up front is going to help your back end on the defense. Safeties can only do so much and they thrive when there’s enough pressure because then they could move forward, stack the box, do some different things. And so it’s going to be really interesting how Jeff Hafley is creative with this team because he didn’t get a lot more to work with on the defensive side of the football. Well, he got one corner and some rookies.
I know
that’s that’s all he got and that’s not enough.
But they were a top 10, top five defense last year. It’s a different schedule. I just don’t know if the consistency has been there enough for me to believe in the defensive line. So, it’s worth hearing that low-key they were in the market looking at defensive line.
I hope they’re still I hope they still are low-key looking.
No, I I hope they’re highkey.
Well, highkey. Sure. But I just hope when it comes to the season gets close.
Is highkey like a thing or am I No, we used to say highkey
instead of lowkey.
We say you said low key. No, highkey, bro. High key. They need to be doing that.
Yeah. No. And so I really hope the Green Bay Packers are still going to be evaluating that defensive line and for potentially getting actually good established talent and bringing them in as we get closer to the season. Now, if in the preseason we feel like one of those guys pop, one of those rookies pop, then great. But as of right now, I still have some question marks on that Dline. Miles Turner is a Milwaukee Buck. Damen Lillard reports are he was blindsided and didn’t know he was being waved. I got 113 reasons why he shouldn’t be complaining at all. He gets to choose his next destination.
Real quick, can I just say something? I know we’re sending us off on ESPN Madison and ESPN Bieber. Cory Sparks shave the mustache from the damn sports show. Thank you.
All right, there’s that. We’re Kyle Bruss with no Nortman coming up in 2 minutes on 945 ESPN and of course on YouTube at ESPN Milwaukee. 2 minutes. We’ve got a crash on the ramp from Burlai 241 northbound. So, watch out for delays. Uh we’ve got delays on northbound anyway from about Watertown Plank Road all the way up past uh Capitol Drive almost to Hampton on uh 43 heading southbound. We’ve got a crash at Locust. It is off on the right shoulder behind the barrels. So, you should be able to get past it. But that’s just something to keep in mind if you’re going to be heading out there. That’s where uh that’s where that is happening. And there may be some emergency vehicles getting on scene with that.
