Will Giannis be on the Bucks in 2025? + Will Jordan Love be Elite? – JGC 7.17.25
hand really loudly. Uh, what happened? Okay, I burned my foot. You can go sockless. I thought so, too. I said there’s no negotiation here. What about not looking at it? Didn’t work. None of those options sufficed. Just averting your eyes. As negotiations go, Joshy, I feel like you offered her a pretty good option there. I enjoy having breakfast in bed. I like waking up to the smell of bacon. Sue me. Most nights before I go to bed, I will lay six strips of bacon out on my George Foreman grill. I think your foot should be able to roam freely in your home. Yeah, these puppies are breathing. I’m glad that we convinced you. The right way to start your day. This is Jen, Gabe, and Chewy broadcasting live from the Gruber Law Offices One Call That’s All studios at the Avenue with Gabe Nitel and Mark Chamara. Here’s Jen L. We got to be careful about how these schedules are shaken out. What schedules? Well, you know, Gab’s not here today. I wasn’t here the last couple of days. People will talk, you know, they’ll say like maybe those two can’t be in the same room together. Maybe, you know, like I I’m just saying it’s summer though. Everyone’s taking time off. Well, yes, that’s the rational, logical explanation for it. I was just trying to stir up drama. I thought you above all people would have appreciated that. Uh, it’s good drama, but I think people would rather have us off when there’s absolutely no sports going on as opposed to football season. Sure. Just trying to get it in. Absolutely. That makes perfect sense. So, sounds like um I know you guys missed me so much while I was gone to Notre Dame. Get a little feature shoot action in. Oh my gosh. By the way, I did a story with Jeremiah Love, the running back. What a great kid. Holy moly, is he a good kid. Like, I was like, you are going to be a star. I I know you probably can’t answer this. Well, I know you can’t answer it, but Notre Dame’s like Duke. Let me ask Jack Joshy, you like Notre Dame or you dislike Notre Dame? Dislike. You know where I’m at? Because you went to BC and it’s our stepsister, you know. Yikes. Um, yeah, I hear that you’re out you’re out on that. Yeah, I know you don’t want to answer that. No, no, I don’t I don’t dislike. And to be honest with you, I think there are people who think that I should dislike Notre Dame because of the Marquette connection. Ah, true, true, true. Yeah, but disliking doesn’t I understand how popular and big they are nationwide and the storylines they create. Like, on one hand, I appreciate how much they mean to college football, but you got to that’s sports. You love to hate teams. Sure. And can you imagine if I was like, I’m not going to do that feature bosses, but it’s bossy mc bosses. This team that might be in the college football playoff, I would rather not talk to them. It’s hard for me to not like your state, your team. Uh because I played with so many guys that were great guys like Michigan. I’ve never met a guy I liked. Yeah. Never met a guy like Arrogant Notre Dame guys that Derek Mays crapper, Lindsay Knap, Aaron Taylor. Uh, Sugar Bear, uh, all great guys. Rick Meyer, who was with us, great guy. All great guys, so they’re hard to hate. Every story I’ve done on an athlete at Notre Dame, I have walked away been like, “Oh my gosh, I mean, model citizen, good dude.” And that’s how I feel about Jeremiah Love. And Jeremiah Love’s going to be one of the top I would put him on the top 10 list as far as players in the 2025 2026 season. And I would put Jeremiah Love on that list. But I digress because Chewy has a bit of a dilemma. Yeah. Cue the Nelly. Nelly’s is the song I sing dilemma. It doesn’t matter. I have to explain it to If I have to explain it, it’s not as fun. Yeah. Yeah. Uh I didn’t even know I had a dilemma till yesterday. Tracks. Um so here’s the deal. So and I don’t know Jake Owen familiar is Joshy. I am familiar. I guess he’s a pretty big country guy. I wouldn’t be able to name a song off the top of my head, but he is the type of artist who in an era was pretty popular. Um, I think he’s a name people recognize and you’d recognize his song if it came on at the bar. Okay. So, there’s a a a huge house on the lake. It’s probably 20 something thousand square feet and he’s always doing a good guy, always doing charitable work. So, we get an invitation. We’ve been to parties there before. Tonight’s Jake Owens playing there and it’s an invite to the concert and it’s outdoors. So, I’m sure there’ll be a ton of boats out there and our good friends live right next door. So, I think Ann’s just sent in a thousand just for we had no intentions of going. We don’t really know who Jake Owen but to support the charity charity arm of this. So the Spaniards coming in with friend to show with his wife and two kids told him yesterday, “Hey, we’re proud.” Loves wife absolutely loves them. Loves them. Do we stiff them and do me and Ans go to the concert? Do we let them go? The problem is they have two kids, so that would be four, six of us going in. Or do we just not even mention it and just go over to my buddy’s house, which is right next door, and then just listen to the concert there. Ah, okay. I need to back it up. So, did you ever have any intention of going to the show? Uh, no. Okay. Didn’t even know it was yesterday until my buddy, another buddy on the lake, says, “Hey, do you want us to pick you up by boat to go see Jake Owen?” And I’m like, “Who is Jake Owen? And then he spells it out. I’m like, “First things first.” Um, okay. So, so, but your pals who are staying with you, they’re big Jay-C fans. Yes. So, I guess your options are, and I know you sort of nailed them down. You could give your pals who are visiting two of the tickets because that’s what you have. You have two tickets to the show. You could give the pals the tickets to the show and they could go, but then you’d be hanging with the kids. But they’re adult kids, right? Like uh 13, 15. Oh, they’re not adult kids. Unbelievably hyper. Okay. Unbelievably hyper. So, it would be more babysitting, which Okay. I mean, I love kids. Love kids. Just no one else’s kids. Wait, wait, what? I don’t want to babysit. Okay, there we go. That’s fine. Cuz you do love kids, but you love them in short spurts. I do. Yes. Like little spurts. Like, okay, time to go. So, I don’t know if them. Okay. So, then the next thing is, can they buy four more tickets? No. No. How about if the women go? If it’s just an and the Spaniard’s wife, could they go to the show? Do they want to go to the show? And then you and the Spaniard and the kids hang out at the house. The flavor I got is the Spaniards are pretty big. They want to go. They don’t want to go. Well, they’re excited. Now, it’s an outdoor concert and my buddy literally lives right next door. So, we’ll be able to hear it. So, you’re also saying, could you take your boat out and just the six of you sit out on the boat and enjoy the concert? Well, the boat’s in the shop. So, that’s why we need my other buddy. Is there any other information that I need to consider while making a decision here? Well, that’s about it. You You’re like like slowly rolling it on. Yeah, that that’s about it. I think what we do is we go over to what’s in the shop is a crazy detail to drop on us. It wasn’t supposed to be in the shop, but someone hit the rock ledge and you know, would it be okay for the Spaniard to be upset that the boat is in the shop seeing as he came in? No, he they roll. They just roll. They just roll. Would they be okay not going? I think they really want to go. No, no, no. They want to go, but I don’t think they care about going over my buddy’s house, which is right next door as far as going in. They want to hear the concert. I got to go see the setup. I got to do a driveby. You got curiosity? No, I just want to see if it’s a big deal or not. If the stage is kind of set up just for the people or is it open? Um cuz they have fireworks on the 4th of July, right? Yeah. Which rival the lakes fireworks. Oh, nice. And there’s thousands of boats that go over and watch their fireworks and watch their fireworks. So, I’m thinking the stage is going to be set up so everyone can watch it. What a week for your boat to be in the shop. By the way, question mark. Had you remembered that your buddy’s Jake Owen concert was tonight on the lake? Would you have brought the boat into the shop? Did it need to go in immediately? It did. Yeah. Okay. Were we in danger of sinking if it wasn’t? Props don’t like rocks. No, they don’t. They don’t. They don’t. The rocks always win. The rocks always win. Yeah. No. I mean, it sounded cool. It kind of sounded like a car without a muffler. I’m surprised there was wasn’t more screeching as that. Like, think about when you drag a fork across a a porcelain plate or a, you know, china plate and it’s like, forgive me if I missed it. Is this exclusively maybe your fault? We’re not naming names because we don’t do that. Yeah, of course not. So, that’s a yes. So, I’ll go I’ll go scout it and I think it’ll be fine. Are you scouting on foot? Uh, no. Uh, Greor will run me over there. What? Cuz I got to go over there early. Can you just borrow Greor’s boat? Uh, I don’t want to be a Hey, Greg. My boat’s in the shop because I hit a rock. Can I use your boat? I don’t think that’s gonna work. Is Greor going to the party? Oh, I’m sure he’s going out on his boat. And you can’t tag along. Well, we got uh my buddy Mariano Mariano. The nicknames, man. Gregor, Mariano Mariano. Yeah, I’m sure Donnie Nebrace is going to be there. Will it be frowned upon? Donnie Nece, who famously fell into the lake at the supper club. Yeah. Do you think it’ll be frowned upon if you show up with more people than expected? Oh, yes. To my buddy’s house. Yes. No. He more of the marrier. Then go. Then just go. Yeah. That’s I think what we’re going to do. Isn’t Isn’t there an aspect here of where else could you see a touring signed musician in somebody’s house? Like this is like a private show ostensibly. I would call it a once in a-lifetime experience except it’s chew and this type of stuff seems to happen all the time to him. Right. Well, I like the fact that it starts at 8:30. How long will he play? I mean, probably 45 minutes. Yeah. I was going to say for those private shows, I would guess hour 30 to half 30 minutes to an hour. Okay. You don’t They don’t have to kill themselves. No, you don’t have to stay the whole time. Well, I mean 8:30. Uh, I’m fine being back at 9:30. Yeah, it’s Thursday night. Yeah. Blammer. Oh, blammer Thursday. Blammer’s on ice. Sounds like it. Yeah. What did he do? Nothing. It’s just I got to be out there. He’s got to make a choice. It’s Sophie’s choice over here, man. I got to prep and do all that stuff. What What if just tags along? Oh my gosh. Then I would really be in trouble. Someone has a problem with the BL. He can’t cross the street. A new one. No, it’s the same one. It’s anything recently. Yeah. I mean, he’s still serving time. Yeah. It’s a lifetime sentence. Sounds like it. Yeah. All right. So, have we come to a conclusion then? That’s what you’re going to do. You’re going to just wrangle up the troops and all six of you are going to go to the buddies. Go to the buddies. And that’s next door to the party. You can go to the party because you’ve got two tickets, but if you don’t want to stay, you can hang out at the buddies. Am I following this sort of correctly or no? I I have no interest in going, especially if I can listen to it from the neighbors 50 yards away. I have no interest. I think you got to show face. No, you don’t. I think you got to shake some hands, pat some backs. Ah, that ain’t me. That’s an But what if you send the Spaniard as proxy? Way too hyper. Wait, what do they call it on Goodwill Hunting? When uh I’m not the right one. Sorry. When Ben Affleck suspect retainer retainer. Okay, you’ve got him going in as you that you could do. See, Spaniard’s going to get in trouble though. That’s the problem. His poor wife going right to heaven straight through. What about yours? Uh, I think it’s a push. I mean, if we go at the same time, I want to ask her, just pretend you don’t know me. In this in this in in this world, God forgot. You got a weird relationship with the big bad up there. You got a weird relationship. He invented everything, but it’s going to slip by that you guys that you and Angie are together when you get to the just going to sit there and go, “That was her fault, not mine.” And she’s going to say the same. They’re going to roll a movie back and be like, “What about this?” Yeah. And then there’s this and then this happened. Uh the father, the funny thing is her mother is an absolute saint. She would let me in before her daughter. And Angie would say that. So I feel good. Yeah. So I think we’ve got a solution then. Yes. You feel good about what your plan is? I think we’re good. Okay. Go into the I think we’re solid. It’s a good plan. Taking the Greor boat. No, not taking Gregor. You’re just going to walk. Gregor’s the scout. You’re going to drive. You’re going to drive over to your buddies. Yeah. And then you’re going to watch scout it and be like, “Okay, it’s fine.” Yeah, it’s fine. So, we’re in good shape. All right. Good. Good. I’m glad because it seemed like when you came in, you were real nervous about how all this was going to shake out. I can’t believe you forgot. Actually, I can. You’re a dude. You forgot that there’s a concert with Jake Owen at your neighbor’s house tonight. Well, Thursday’s kind of weird, isn’t it? Don’t you think it’d be on a Friday? I imagine. Or maybe Jake Owen’s not available. I was saying imagine Jake’s pretty busy. Yeah, his weekends are all It’s not about me. Yeah, I hate to break it to you.

Good to touch base with our friend and teammate Jason Wy. Good morning, Jason. How you doing today? I’m great. How are you guys? We’re good. Chewy is you’ve solved your dilemma. You figured out what you’re going to do. Yeah. Chewy has a one of those um uh what do you call it? Oh, rich people dilemmas. Yeah. Champagne problems. Exactly. It’s exactly right. Um speaking of problems, how are we doing with the Green Bay Packers this off seasonason? And I know again it’s the off season. We’re we’re all eagerly anticipating training camp, but every once in a while I’ll read an article or a headline rather. The one that caught my eye this morning as I was scrolling through the Packers sphere was Packers caught sleeping as NFC rival lands the pass rusher they desperately needed. There seems to be a sentiment that the Packers Wait, who’s the pass rusher? I know. Von Miller went to the Commanders. Yeah. Oh, really? Okay. Um I don’t think the Packers were caught sleeping. I do I will say this and and Jen, you and I have done the the journalism game for uh longer than we care to admit because then we’d be giving away our ages. Although you’ve had an incredibly successful career and still look far far younger than I do. Um but I love how headlines have now become like these mysteries to trick you into clicking. Like I feel like when I was doing my countdown, I should have said instead of, you know, number four, Tucker Craft, I should be, you know, using uh number four, this guy, his wife had a baby this off season and he’s counting on dad strength to make him an even better player to try and like trick people into clicking the link because I don’t know who that is. um instead of saying, you know, right, instead of saying, uh, the Packers were never going to sign Von Miller. Not only is there some baggage there, but he’s older than they want on their football team. So, I don’t think the Packers were caught sleeping, but to answer your question about problems. The only problem I have is that we need training camp to start. I mean it’s it is time as Kevin Green famously said because all this stuff like you know I I one of my favorite things to do is the position by position stuff because it gets people ready for training camp and and I am fascinated but I can only say so many times uh well they’ve got three of their five starters from last year entering the final year of their contract and they’re going to have a competition at left tackle and Anthony Belton’s one of these second round picks that we don’t know when his deal is going to get done. Although, I know the 49ers signed the 43rd overall pick yesterday and he did not get a fully guaranteed contract. Uh we don’t know if Elton Jenkins is going to be taken care of or he’s going to be there’s going to be acrimony on day one with him. We don’t know if, you know, Zack Tom’s going to get a new contract or not. like all these things, you know, we just keep talking about them and talking about them and and I know not everyone listens to every show every day, so we try to cover the bases, but the fact of the matter is is we need to get to Wednesday and to see what the hell’s going on with all these people. Jason, have you been following these top 10s that ESPN has been putting out with the honorable mention and also receiving votes? Smaller story, but I know you’ve been following it. No, I have not been I think Jeremy does a good job with that, but I’ve not watched it this closely because they did the tight ends and Did you make it? No, I didn’t. Oh, there it was 100 on Madden. I don’t know. I’ve heard that a few times. Yeah, I think. I like how you always bring that up and then say because it’s so ridiculous. It’s if you looked at the list, it’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. I mean, my cousin doesn’t work there anymore, but but Jason Jason um uh do we think higher of Tucker Craft than the rest of the country does? cuz these these are some of the names that were in front of them like Dalton Concaid, Pat Freemouth, Pittsburgh Steelers, Frier Moose, Frier Mouth, Cole KT, Jake Ferguson, Jonu Smith, Dalton Schultz. I mean, do we do we think highly of him and and you know, the rest of the country really doesn’t? Yeah, the answer to your question is undeniably yes, but I just think he is in he is one of the rare examples where we’re just ahead of the curve because we see more of him. I really think so. Like I I I don’t want to uh raise expectations too high for him, but I think that’s going to change uh way the way he’s viewed. and and in talking with uh Adam Stenovich, in talking with Jordan Love, in talking with Matt Laflur for all the time and and breath and ink and internet space that we use on the wide receivers and rightfully so because it’s a fascinating scenario at that position. we probably didn’t talk about enough and I this is what I focused on in my countdown about him today. All of those guys were talking about how one of the top priorities of the of this off season was conjure up more ways to get him more involved. Whether that means uh just throwing him the ball more, whether that means having him, you know, maybe block less and allow him to get down the seam a little more frequently. Um, obviously there’s the factor of what are they going to get out of Luke Musgrave this year, but I there is a very clear conscious effort to get him even more involved. And when you look at the numbers, he caught only 50 passes, uh, which is less than other tight ends in the league, but still a ton in this offense given how many other people they have to feed. He led them in touchdown receptions. I think he’s a guy that can be even more uh productive in in the scoring space, but they are just looking for more. I mean, they he’s their short yardage quarterback/tightend sneak guy, right? They just they they really believe whether he gets uh highly rated by the NFL executives that Jeremy talked to or not, they believe that he can be the centerpiece of their offense. Now, I would argue that this is going to be a fast, this is another one of the angles of this season that I’m fascinated by. Like the balancing act is going to be really interesting because you got a lot of wide receivers to try and figure out how to keep happy. You still want to give the ball to Josh Jacobs a ton. So, you know, I’m really eager to see how Matt Laflur figures out how to do this. Jason, let me ask you a dumb question. What What is Is there any other kind I’m sorry. What is this offense called? Is this the West Coast offense? Does it have a name? Uh, no. Like Lafleur used to like to say just it’s our offense like because they don’t they he didn’t want people saying oh this is the this is the Packers off or this is my offense, right? Because he he melded it with the stuff that Rogers liked. Now, I would argue that while certainly Jordan Love gets to have some input, uh, he has not reached the Aaron Rogers level and so this is Matt Laflur’s offense, but I think he he would also be the first one to tell you that they needed to do some renovations on that system. Um, I I just look at him and go, you know, you you you came out at the end of the season saying guys needed to win their one-on- ons. That is not what this offense is supposed to be. That was Mike McCarthy’s offense. You know, you you pride yourself on scheming guys open. That has to happen a lot more consistently. And so I I know that he made that his goal this off season. And I’m super curious to see how different and in what ways it looks different this year. Jason, we’ve been paying attention to this NFL.com top 100 players of 2025. Uh famously when the fir list first debuted we saw Tua Tong of Aloa on it and we sort of use that as the barometer for Jordan Love’s inclusion saying if Tua Tong Aloa is on this list we assume that Jordan Love is going to be on it as well. I can’t recall Joshy when we were trying to figure out the 10ens. What did we say for Jordan Love? Were you saying 70s? You thought he might be in the 70s? I thought 60s to 70s would probably be the range based on previous years of that list. So, same question to you, Jason. If you had to guess the range, and we’re doing 10 spots here. What 10 spot range do you think Jordan Love lands in on the NFL.com top 100 players of 2025? Well, obviously top 10. Is this even a question? Um, no. And but seriously, that’s what there’s a se section of the fan base that that’s what they want to hear. And Talsh gives me a hard time. He always likes to say, “You don’t want that smoke from Twitter.” Well, I don’t really go on Twitter anymore other than post links to the show and to my stories, but I there there is a group and look, they may be right ultimately. They may be proven right. and he ends up being a multi-time allpro multi-time MVP just like the two guys that came before him. But as of now, you know, I find it interesting that Tua is on the list cuz again, these guys know the league that put together this list way better than I do, but I don’t think he’s that good. Um, so and and again I I I’m not here to beat up on uh Rashan Garry, but I mean the the statistic that they put out in support of him being number 80 was that on 22.7% of his third down rushes, he generated pressure. But then right below that, they put the stat that said on first down, he generated pressure on 7.3% of his pass rush opportunities. I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t make me more convinced that he should be number 80, right? So, I I don’t I don’t know about the list in terms of uh how accurate it is. I would think that Jordan Love, if Tua is in the 70s, I would think Jordan Love would be in the 60s. I don’t know how much extra credit you get for being a quarterback and how much that moves you up the list, but if he’s on a bunch of lists as like the 12th best quarterback, uh I have a hard time putting him any higher than the 60s. And we’ll see where he ends up next year if he has the kind of season everyone’s hoping he has. Well, and because it’s the off season and because, you know, we’re all like starving for content, they are really dragging this unveil out. But I did see that Dak Prescott is listed as 79 on the list. That is one of the more recent reveals as they are slowly working their way through the 70s right now. I think when Josh and I were talking about it this morning though, he said T. Higgins is 77th on the list. Really? That’s a great reaction by you two because Joshy was like T. Higgins is pretty dang good. Yeah, might not be on the list. So that would be really interesting. So just so you know that Joshy said if I see T. Higgins at 77. There’s a part of my brain that says exactly what you just said. Mhm. So, yeah, take it for what it’s worth. All right, Jason, we appreciate you hanging out with us this morning. We too cannot wait for the guys to get back on the field and we can start evaluating at least in some way what the Green Bay Packers have to offer this season. All right, guys. Take care. Be good. That’s Jason Wy. You can hear him on Wy and Tous right after Jen Gab and Chewy each and every morning. Uh, were there any other ones? I know you guys discussed Rashan Garry being on the list, right? How he came in at number 80. Yeah. Uh, so then Dak Prescott was immediately after that. I got to think if Dak Prescott is at 79, then he won’t be on the list. Really? No. No. Well, if you two years ago Yeah. was almost the MVP, but then Jordan Love beat the brakes off him and then Dak had a down year injury. Well, he got he was hurt all last year, right? I have a feeling he’s not on the list. The names T. Higgins, Vea, and Patrick Queen, who every one of them it seems, except for Vea have somewhat declined. Mhm. So, I mean, I think when I go back and look at the list, like Justin Herbert was in the 60s to 70s and I don’t know what to do with that because Jordan Love was in the 30s last year. Can’t imagine him dropping out. I think Rashan Giri is just screwing us up because he didn’t deserve to go to the Pro Bowl last year and he doesn’t deserve to be number 80 on this list. But you guys had a lengthy conversation yesterday about whether or not or is it Tuesday? It was the at the bog. Yeah. about whether or not we here in Wisconsin underrate Rashan Gary compared to the rest of the NFL analysis world. When you’re making $28 million a year and you’re tied for 36 in sacks, yeah, you don’t deserve to be on that list. I’m sorry. Also, the the one thing I we have a tendency obviously we pay attention to overrate them, but when we’re lower on somebody, I I typically tend to agree with our side. You know, we can sell ourselves on someone being better, but if we’re all going, what is he doing there? I feel like we’re on the right side of history. Well, let me ask you this, cuz we just talked about Tucker Craft. Who’s more deserving to be on the list? Tucker Craft or Rashan Garry? I think Tucker Craft. probably Tucker Craft and part of that is ceiling at this point as well. Like we think he has a higher ceiling than Rashan Gary does in 2025 and beyond. All right. Interesting stuff. Maybe we’ll put it on the Jen Gabe and Chewy Infinity Exteriors Twitter poll as well. When you see Tua Tonga at whatever it was, it was like 99 or something like that. I think he was 100. He was 100. Okay. Just barely squeaking on the list. And then you see Dak Prescott coming in at 79. Do you think Jordan Love will be on the list? Is there a chance he won’t be on the list? Let us know what you think. 8009903776. The open road is calling your name and the ride begins at Podawatami Casino Hotel Milwaukee.

This is Jen, Gabe, and Chewy. He sounds like the Beatles. What? Anyone? This is a new one on me. Even this interview, the way he talked, he sounds like Paul McCartney. Ringo farted and it was horrible. It’s absolutely horrible. on 945 ESPN. Pulling back the curtain just a smidge here. Wizard of Oz style. This morning, Joshy on our YouTube stream put the sentence, “Will Giannis be on the Bucks in 2025?” And immediately, Michael jumps in the YouTube comments and says, “Nannis is staying done deal.” Why is a local show clueless and discussing it like the clueless national media? You think the team would be discussing Giannis back if not a done deal? It’s in stone. We recognize here on Jen Gab and Chewy that there is a portion of the population that cannot convince themselves that there is any realistic chance that Giannis Antakmpo will play somewhere else this season. We understand that Giannis has been here for a very long time. He is embedded in the fabric. He is a part of the tapestry of the city certainly of the Milwaukee Bucks. And yet, stay with us here because Eric Name from The Athletic did a sit down with John Horst, GM of your Milwaukee Bucks. And in that piece, John Horse basically went through all the moves they made this off season. Talked about Miles Turner, talked about retaining some of their young talent, but there was one statement or uh grouping of statements that sort of popped off to us. And we’re not the only ones. two others. Joshy, go ahead and read to us because there is no audio of it, so you’re going to have to do your dramatic reading for us. What John Horst said about how he assesses this off season. Yeah. I want to start with an the question from Eric Name in your introductory news conference for Turner. You said when it comes to Giannis, your job is to put together a plan to build the best team possible to present that vision to him and then go kick blank in the next season. Do you feel like you’ve done enough in that regard this off season? And where do you think you stand among the top Eastern Conference teams? After addressing the two-parted question, John Horse replies, “And so, have we done enough? I don’t know. We’ll find out. Have we done everything that we possibly could? Absolutely. And have we done more than anyone else could possibly do? I believe we have. And that’s not an arrogant thing to say in a very humble way. I think we’ve done as much or more than anyone else could possibly do, and I’m proud of that. Okay. Okay. to your reaction to that response by John Horst when asked if they have done enough. Well, let me just let me just address the texture or whoever came in and said local media show. Okay, when we talk about Packers, we have boots on the ground. We know more than Adam Shuffer most times. Maybe not about the big stuff, but we have boots on the grounds with all the sports here. Okay. So, we’re pretty dialed in. I get the reading between the lines. It moves my needle. What did I say? I was like 95%. That moves it down to 80. Does because it’s even sounds like horse isn’t sure where I thought he did. I thought, you know, it was Does it move it down to 50/50? No. But it does knock it down a few notches. He’s trying, it seems to me, he’s still trying to sell it to Giannis. Do you get that or no? 100%. And and again, I think it’s important to pair it also with people were laughing and scoffing about us talking to uh playing the and reacting to the Giannis talking to speed on the stream channel where he said probably probably what was the next word? I I don’t know. something. I love Milwaukee. We’ll see. It was We’ll see. Probably. Probably. We’ll see. I love Milwaukee. I want you to say it again, Joshy, because I had to read it several times because the first reaction I had was when he said, “Have we done enough?” Was is John Horse saying, “Have we done enough to win a title?” Because obviously that’s what Giannis wants. Giannis wants to compete for titles. Have we done enough to win a title? Or was John Horse responding? Have we done enough to keep Giannis in Milwaukee this season? And again, I recognize I’m starting with this. There is a portion of the population who is going to be like, I can’t believe we’re talking about this again, but how else do you interpret John Horse words? Joshy, give me a hypothetical where you can interpret it as, oh, he’s just trying to, you know, he he just he doesn’t want to commit to, yes, he’s back, even though he’s back. Like, there is a chance that Giannis absolutely is in Milwaukee in a Milwaukee jersey. And you guys can sit here and go, can’t believe you guys were talking about that on June, what is today’s date? July 17th. Thank you. Can’t believe you guys were still talking about that on July 17th. you know, summer league is well underway and you know, the guys are getting ready and working out and all of those types of things. Fine. That’s you can say that. But the way that John Horse responded to that inquiry does for me the same thing it did for Chew. Yeah. Eyebrows up, Joshy. Are you different? Are you on the other side of this thing? Do you think that we are being uh or we are fear-mongering over here? No, I don’t. And and I don’t think even if Giannis does end up deciding to come back here that I find it hard to read these statements from John Horus as anything other than he has uncertainty and a degree of worry. Now we all understand what it would take for Giannis to demand a trade sort of you know the city would turn against him. Many fans would turn against him if that came to fruition. But do I think there’s a part of both camps where they’re going, I don’t know what’s best for me or us moving forward? I think there is because why would he have I mean he says simply I don’t know to have we done enough. He’s not asking do you think you’re a championship contender? No, he’s asking have you done enough to keep Giannis here and to keep the team competitive. John Horse throughout the entirety of this article in this sitdown with Eric Name goes on to say like my sole priority is keeping Giannis here and keeping the team competitive. But keeping the team competitive means keeping Giannis here. So the first step is always keeping Giannis and there is a level of uncertainty. Could there be a degree of covering your butt to John Horse? Because you never know with star athletes, especially of the import of one like Giannis and the way he can move the entirety of the NBA. Sure. And you probably should always be operating just from a business standpoint of I can’t guarantee that, but I’m going to make sure. But what I think people don’t understand, and it goes back to my Eric name is more dialed in than Shams. Okay? Just like Jason Wy and Tom Silverstein and Bob McIn were more dialed in than Chris Mortonson and Ed Werder and Leslie St. they fly in on a Friday and see you for a bit. Eric Name, Jason Wley, they’re there every day. You have a closer relationship with those people than you do like the people I name. It So I listen to And it’s no knock on Adam. Adam is great with breaking stuff, but the the the peripheral stuff, and this isn’t peripheral, but the local guys know more. I’m sorry. They just do. Yeah. And and I think the important part here is this isn’t Eric interpreting anything he heard. This is Eric asking a question and John Horse giving it back to him. And you can choose to disregard it if that makes you feel better. If you don’t want to live in a spot where it’s potential that Giannis may end up elsewhere and may not finish his career with Milwaukee Buck, I understand that. I understand the drive for it. But I also think it’s part of our job to not get caught in the dark from this stuff and to point to the signals. We had something very similar with the Aaron Rogers thing. It was Aaron Rogers is going nowhere, going nowhere, going nowhere. And every time we pointed something out, people told us, “No, no, no. You’re being dramatic.” And then Aaron Rogers got traded. And if we were to do that with Giannis, I think we would be disservice a disservice to all the people listening if we didn’t point these things out. So there’s a couple of things that I as a wordssmith, right? This is kind of the space I live in. I want to make sure that I’m always interpreting things correctly and recognizing any nuance. The question from Eric name I think is important. Um you said it already, but I’m going to do it again. In your introductory news conference for Turner, you said when it comes to Giannis, your job is to put together a plan to build the best team possible to present that vision to him, then go kick a in the next season. Do you feel like you’ve done enough in that regard this off seasonason? That sentence, do you feel like you’ve done enough in that regard this off season is twofold. It is presenting a plan to Giannis, a vision to Giannis, and then going and kicking a the next season. So John Horse could be responding to the kicking a the next season part. He very well could be saying that he thinks they’ve done enough. He believes they’ve done everything they could do, but he doesn’t know if they are a championship team because we’ve all seen how the NBA shakes out. You know, an injury here, a fluky thing there, a D, you know what I mean? Like Indianapolis, you know, Indiana was one injury away from hoisting the Larry O’Brien trophy. You could argue. So, I there’s a part of me that wants to give Pat uh Pat there’s a part of me that wants to give John Horse the benefit of the doubt and say he was responding to have we done enough to go kick a the next season, not have we done enough to retain Giannis. But also, I am conscious of the fact that he could be responding to have we done enough to retain Giannis. And that’s just part of the journalism space, guys. the journal. Part of it is just not sticking my head in the sand when I don’t like what a potential outcome could be. It’s like a trial. You got to put everything together. Well, then why doesn’t Giannis just say, “Yeah, I’m coming back.” You know, I thought he was playing games. Yeah, probably. Maybe. I love But now you have to pair it with this. You have to put it all into one pot. Even though I still think he’s coming back, it to me it sounds like there’s some uncertainty. You said it lessens your certainty. Yes. Um and I and I think honestly that is a fair way of interpreting this information. Look, we don’t want to be fear-mongerers over here. We don’t want to be the bearer of bad news. We don’t want to be the I told you so people. That’s not what we’re That’s not And if you listen to the show regularly, you know that about us. But every time there’s new information presented, we are going to analyze it. Yeah. the people who were giving us a tough time about analyzing Giannis’s comments on a podcast on a stream. Bananas. It was from the horse’s mouth. And he was not definitive. He was not locked in. He didn’t say, “I’m back, right? Send a fax for goodness sakes. You know, I’d be fine with that.” Michael Jordanesque. He hasn’t. There’s been some wishy-washiness. There’s been some unwillingness to commit to that statement. And I think when you pair that with John Horse’s comments, there is even more like, wait a minute, is this thing not as done a deal as I want to think it is? Is this thing not as done a deal as I have convinced myself it is? That’s just self-awareness. That’s just look that’s just taking the information in front and going I’m I’m trying to evaluate it realistically and logically Joshy is and and I don’t think we should be sit here raked over the coals for that. No. And there’s a degree of this of just we’re doing what we think is best and we think it’s worth paying attention to and you can choose to believe it or not and you may very well end up being right thinking no there’s no interest. We’re coming from this from a different spot than the national media. Yeah. They want the story. They want the big move. We want Giannis to be here. Yes. That is all. We all understand how much Giannis means to Milwaukee means to the Bucks. We’re not doing this because it’s going to get an extra click or an extra view on the stream. I think we all need to take into consideration and I think we as fans have a tendency to try and push things back that we know deep down inside should be a concern. I mean, we do a podcast on this station with his brother. We have a little insight here. Okay, I’m not saying we have, but Well, also, do you think maybe we’d want to keep them around? We’d also have an incentive. It’s not like we’re pushing them out the door. there’s no one here doing that. And I get there’s a lot, you know, in the media today, there’s a lot thrown against the wall, you know, and you got to kind of pick and choose. And I don’t think, like you said, Jen, this isn’t a throw against the wall. This is just kind of deductive reasoning is what we’re doing here. Wouldn’t the words I feel confident in that response by John Horst done a lot of the heavy lifting? Sure would have. I feel confident that we did enough. Yeah. I feel confident that we showed Giannis this is a championship team. We’re confident. We’re operating from a from a confident space. Again, that’s just one word. There are a million different ways that it could have been articulated. But when he says, “Have we done enough?” I don’t know. We’ll find out. To me, that is There is still an uncertainty trying to sell it about whether or not Giannis will be in Milwaukee. I think it’s also important we’re parsing what he said, but what he didn’t say also I think speaks loudly. Yeah, I agree. He didn’t say we’re good to go. We’ve done the best and Giannis is going to be here and he’s going to make a run him and Miles Turner and maybe we’ll make another move there. Nowhere does it say that. So if John Horus isn’t given doesn’t have that certainty to tell Eric name, why should I? How far away from we are camp is camp October? It’s summer league now. Yeah, probably October, right? Early October. So So there’s there’s time. Uh lots of reaction rolling in. Will says, “No, you guys aren’t. We you know you’re BSing. We know you’re BSing. You know, we know you’re BSing. I hope. And here’s the thing. If Giannis ends up staying in Milwaukee, y’all can come at us and you will and say, “See, you guys knew nothing. You guys were just throwing spaghetti against the wall. You’re trying to wrangle up the fan base. You’re fear-mongering and all that stuff.” We’re not. We’re reading into what was said, not just by Giannis, who said, “Probably, probably. We’ll see. I love Milwaukee. And now John Horse responds to, “Have we done enough?” I don’t know. We’ll find out. Have we done everything we possibly could? Absolutely. Have we done more than anyone else could possibly do? I believe we have. And that’s not an arrogant thing to say. In a very humble way, I think we’ve done as much or more than anyone else could possibly do, and I’m proud of that. John Horse words in black and white on theathletic.com. Go read the interview and you tell me in your heart of hearts after you read what John Horse said if you have still convinced yourself that there is 0% chance that Giannis isn’t still contemplating his future in Milwaukee. 80093776.

Maybe it’s as simple as, again, hypothetically speaking, y’all hear me out. Maybe Giannis wants Thanasses on the roster. Maybe Jiannis Giannis wants a spot for his brother. And until that happens, he’s still a little disenchanted with what the Bucks have done. I don’t know. Want my guy? Pretty thick, pretty tight. Again, hypothetically speaking, of course, wouldn’t you, if you were Giannis, still use any part or any piece of leverage you had chew to make that happen? Again, hypothetically speaking, like this idea that Giannis is loyal, which people are saying, this idea that he has said somewhere he’s coming back to Milwaukee. Show me, show me the quotes where he has said definitively he is going to be back in a Milwaukee Bucks uniform this season because probably we’ll see I love Milwaukee. Yeah. And then people are saying like, “Oh, he invited the kid to a Bucks game. Did he say he’d be playing? I’m not again playing devil’s advocate here, gang. Because again, I know what people want to believe. It’s exactly the same thing as what we want to believe. But to sit here and be taking grenades at us because we’re saying, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on a minute. There’s this, and now there’s this, and this doesn’t make me feel the warm and fuzzies.” No. And I still think he’s back, but is there a chance he’s kicking tires in places where we would never hear about it? Is that possible? I don’t I don’t know if that would quite be the case. That seems like and and I mean it would behoove you if you thought you had a chance to end Giannis and Giannis had interest to keep that as tight close to the vest as humanly possible. And there’s also a degree of this is if we look look at what the Bucks did and John Horse did. They did an unprecedented wave and stretch. They signed Miles Turner. They’ve been in free agency. They’ve bringing back guys. They’ve been pretty aggressive. Does it seem like that’s a team with any sort of certainty about the future and any sort of certainty or does it seem like they’re doing all they are turning over every single leaf because they know they’re probably closer than ever to potentially losing the guy that controls Milwaukee in terms of re revenue generator like he’s an all-time great and on top of that Giannis could also be presenting hey I want to come back and I plan to come back But you still got to do more. So until you do those final two things, be it add thaces, be it go out and make some trades to get some guys who are available on the market, I’m not going to give you any sort of certainty because if you get comfortable and know I’m coming back, I don’t think this team’s going to be good enough. Like there there’s plenty of layers to this that is more than just us trying to fearmonger. Did um did he know that Dame was going to be released? I don’t think he did. Right. Because Craig said he was going on the show in Athens with his brothers and the news released right before it and he had no idea. I think we oversell that you know that there’s a direct line. Hey, this is what I’m Well, Eric Name said that when he was sitting in this chair. He said like there’s a part of Giannis that says to John Horst, I don’t need to micromanage every move. Go do your job. That’s a big move though. like we will uh convene, you know, we’ll have conversations, but it doesn’t sound like again from Eric Name, who we believe to be exceptionally plugged in to this dynamic. He John Horst isn’t having to call Giannis to get permission to make every move. But isn’t that a huge move? That’s a big move. I mean, it’s not like, hey, we’re not going to offer Brook Lopez a contract. I I don’t know. But so the people that believe that we’re just pulling the wool over their eyes, then you think that Giannis is just playing around. Probably probably maybe if you’re 100% you just think Giannis is playing around. Correct. You would have to just like having fun with it like you said like he enjoys the attention. He likes being the center of the basketball universe. If we were honest, those people take probably probably will see as an affirmative because it’s easier to believe that. Well, it is an affirmative and I took it that way. But you just got to marry everything together and be like cuz Horse could have answered that totally differently than he did. I mean, the interpretation is like I still don’t know. If Giannis had given Horitly coming back, no questions asked, guys. He doesn’t answer it that way. Correct. Yes. And that’s where I I get it that people want to believe that he’s coming back. We want to believe it as well, gang. Like, we’re right there with you, but you have to look at what is being said, and you have to go, “Oh, maybe there is a chance.” Or maybe you don’t. You know what? Keep riding it. He’s coming back.

I I don’t know. What if it looks wonky? No. Hey. Whoa. Michael. Oh god. It’s okay. It’s Jim. Just say again really loudly. Uh, what happened? I burned my foot. You can go sockless. I thought so, too. I said there’s no negotiation here. What about not looking at it? Didn’t work. None of those options sufficed. Just averting your eyes. As negotiations go, Joshy, I feel like you offered her a pretty good option there. I enjoy having breakfast in bed. I like waking up to the smell of bacon. Sue me.

We’ve got regulars in the YouTube stream who are telling me what I should and shouldn’t wear on the radio. Get a clue. I love it. I will wear what I want to wear, even if that disappoints you, gentlemen. Unbelievable, man. People get so fired up about Giannis. It’s like if Giannis decides to leave, gang, it is not an indictment of our city. If Giannis decides to leave, it is not an indictment of the Milwaukee Bucks. If Giannis decides to leave, like you got to stop attaching your personal ego to the decisions made by other grown ass men. It would suck. Yes, we want Giannis to be a buck. He’s a generational talent. He’s a unicorn. He obviously makes the team better. But if he were to decide that it’s better for his family, it’s better for his legacy, for all of the things that he is clearly giving a ton of thought to to go elsewhere, man, it affects it affects you in such a small way. I appreciate the passion, but holy moly, the projecting is wild to me. Yeah, I’m talking to you guys. You know, I’m talking to you.

During training camp, you’re want Brett? Yeah. Bring Brett back. Yeah. So, love the passion, but people just think a little. Just think. Joshy, do we have top eight at 8 this morning? You got a list for us for top eight at 8? I didn’t prepare one. Should we throw one together? Break up a little of the Bucks monotony this morning? We can try. I won’t have it by this segment, that’s for sure. You want me to handle it? What do you mean? My power rankings this week were Oh, wait. Well, can can I get a recap? What was the It was the uh top 10 Badgers in the NFL all time. The best players. Okay. And how’d you do, Josh? B I thought it was fine there. I mean, there’s some names on there that they they they had problem with the placing of some players. Were there a lot of like offensive linemen? No. Mike Webster, Crazy Legs, old Alan Amichi. This is kind of order they went in. Joe Thomas, JJ Watt, Troy Venson was down the list, Al Tune. Yeah. So, so Joe Thomas is a Hall of Famer. JJ Watt is a Hall of Famer. They thought they should have been higher on the list. Is that recency bias? I never saw Mike Weber play. In fact, in my mind, Mike Weber will always be more attached to the concussion stuff. Yeah. Because of how he ended up passing away and how I believe in the book when the book was written, he was a central figure. Yes. Uh in that in that story. Uh but he was well he was four time Super Bowl champ, all pro. I mean, it was pretty impressive. It’s just hard. How do you gauge? I mean, especially like Crazy Legs who leather helmet, you know, it’s kind of like the Don Hudson, where should he be on the list of all time Packers? I don’t know. I have no idea. So, it was fine. I thought it was a good list. You’re giving yourself a B. I gave myself an A minus. Of course I did. Solid. All right. We will work on that. Uh, we’ll get back on the clock here on Jen Gabi.

Apparently, one year there were multiple hosts. So, I will give you any one of those and count it as that year. But the top the last eight SPS hosts. So if you know who hosted the SBS last night, you are already ahead of the curve. List of eight things here. You guys will go back and forth. When you are out, we will go to the callers. 8009903776. Who wants to go first, gentlemen? Well, who was last night, Josh? That was Shane Gillis. Shane Gillis. Yep. Comedian. Yes. Are they all comedians? Uh many of them are comedians, some of them are athletes. Oh, LeBron and him and then him and Kimmel do it. I do not see LeBron James on this list. I mean, you should probably throw out Chris Rock who’s done everything. No. Good call. He is not on this list. LeBron James did host with Jimmy Kimmel back in 2007. Ah, so too far back to count. I think we did a number here on our list. I think you both are going to have to get a mulligan. Ah, couple of athletes, couple of actors. The last guy on the list is a guy who you see everywhere. Owns a production company. Uh, Payton. There it is. Pton Manning is on the list. He was the host in 2017. He is number eight on our list. Do you all remember the first woman to host the SPS? I think I know, but was it Danica? You guys. All right. Now we’re cooking with gas. Uh, the seventh entry on the list. Any more athletes? Yes. athlete, athlete, actor, athlete, comedian, and then Danica Patrick and Pton Manning. One of these athletes, well, several of them. Uh, women, the goat, Serena. Serena Williams was the host last year. Okay. 2024, Serena Williams, host of the ESPs. All right, you got one and two. Uh, we need three, four, five, and six. More athletes though, huh? Yes. I mean, I’m just trying to think who’s worthy. This one is a basketball player. Been in the league for a very long time. Very likable athlete. Shakalicious. Not on the list. Uh, let’s, you know what? I’ll go back because maybe he is further back. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. There are some really good ones. If you go back, back back, though. I’ve got Samuel L. Jackson is the host. Jamie Fox as the host. Matthew Perry is the host. Lance Armstrong is the host. Justin Timberlake, Seth Meyers, Seth Meers, Rob Wiggle, John Ham, Drake was the host in 2014. I had no idea. Is there shout out to our guy Gabe here? I swear I remember John Cena. John Cena was a host. It was 2016, the year before Payton Manning. All right. Well, let’s go to the callers. 800990 3776. We open it up to the callers now. We are looking for the last eight hosts. The ESPs took place last night in LA. Apparently Shane Gillis drew mixed reviews. Maybe got a little political, maybe took some swipes at some important people. I didn’t see it. I was driving back from in I watched a lot of the clips. I found them very funny. I think the ESPs is of a special place where athletes aren’t used to getting picked on the same way maybe other comedians or actors or people like the athletes seem to not deal as well with that. Why? Because the locker room is just a place. I think it’s it’s different when it’s your peers versus I mean Shane Gillis will will call himself schlubby and you know 8009903776 if you want to try to complete our top eight list. Apparently I have a line here from Shane Gillis. He said Joe Rogan actually wanted me to be here to host the award show so I could capture Adam Silver because Joe thinks he’s an alien and Donald Trump wanted me to be here to capture Juan Sodto for the same reason. It’s kind of funny. 800990. What do I call 377? Oh, I call him Tales of the Crypt. Exactly. 8009903776. Got another uh another lady, two more ladies on this list who co-hosted. Is that hard to do? Co-host? No. Host an event like that? I think there’d be a level of intimidation, don’t you? You’ve done it before. Not the SBS. Are you drunk? Well, not I think I think the biggest challenge is the initial what is it? The uh like the start where you Yeah. And trying to be funny, timing and hit the jokes, right? And all those jokes are written by our writer. Uh his name happens to be Greg Jennings, which is funny because Greg Jennings. Um but he writes most of that. He works in tandem with the talent, but he writes most of the show top to bottom. Um, yeah. I I mean, I remember Nor McDonald created quite a stir. Uh, cuz he delivered in his typical dry sense of humor, which really was offputting to some people. Yeah, it doesn’t translate for a lot of people. 800990 3776. Do you think the list is too hard? Nobody’s calling in. Nobody wants to fill in. Yeah, I think so. Nobody wants to uh give it a guess. Give it the old college try. This is where I always go. Are the phone lines working? I saw this one person call. I just think I think it’s easy. There’s so many damn award shows. You forget who’s who. You forget who’s what hosting. Who’s the actor? Yep. Want to answer a phone call from Jennifer Lada. Should I just give the answers? We’re Well, let us guess. Let us guess. actor give us uh the the peripheral movie. Uh I believe he was the most recent Captain America. Is that like a Hemsworth? No, he was famously Thor. You say famously. Um all right, we’re giving the answers. We’re giving the list. Uh we’ve got a caller. All right. I’m just going to move them right over. All right. Hello caller. What’s your name? Where you calling from? Jeff from Milwaukee. All right. What do you got, Jeff? Uh, Tina Fate, Amy Polar. No, no, no. They did the Emmys or the Oscars or one of those things and Megan Rapino. Yes. Megan Rapino. Megan Rapino was one of the hosts. Yes. Megan Rapino and Sue Bird co-hosted with Russell Wilson one year, 2020. Uh, now that was a virtual SP, so there was nobody else in attendance. So far, we’ve got Shane Gillis, we’ve got Serena Williams, we are missing number three, NBA player, longtime player, future Hall of Famer, threepoint sharp shooter. Steph Curry, there it is. Yeah, it’s going to be This is one of those technicality ones. We’re gonna have to uh work our way through it. Uh then we have a actor and we have a comedian left on the list. Ricky Jerves. Ricky Jerves not on the list. He may have hosted it a long long time ago. I did go back pretty far on this list. Next caller we have is Joelle from Milwaukee. Joel, can you complete our top eight list? Well, hello. Don’t know what happened there. All right. I know this name. Chef Ed. Good morning, Chef Ed. Can you complete our top eight list? Oh, I went live right away. Usually get Joshy. We got you. Go ahead. Hello. Yep. We’re here. Yeah. Uh, I remember the comedian because I like this guy a lot. Tracy Morgan. Tracy Morgan is on the list. Yes, he was number six on the list. So, we only have number four remaining. 2021 was the year. And this one was actually held at the rooftop at Pier 17 as opposed to the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. Athlete. Can you say actor? No, you say actor. Actor. and she gave the I don’t know. I’m drawing a blank. I ain’t got it. Sorry. No worries. It’s a gentleman. 8009903776. Go out to AC and Tossa. Let’s see if AC and Tossa can complete the top eight list. Yes, my guy who actually went to acting school. Uh, Anthony Mackey. Anthony Mackey is correct. You are our big winner this morning. Although Joshy, I know how this stuff works. There might be an asterisk next to it. I may have to send AC and Toes a Jen Gabe and Chewy sweatshirt just you know from Jen. Thanks. We can’t give away extra. We do have rules, but we did get a winner. We completed it. So, thank you to AC Tossa and everybody who ended up calling it. That was the top eight most recent SB hosts. Shane Gillis, Serena Williams, Steph Curry, Anthony Mackey, Megan Rapino, Subird, and Russell Wilson tag teamed it in 2020. Tracy Morgan, Danica Patrick in 2018, and Payton Manning in 2017. Who Who won NFL team of the year? Philly. Yeah, the Eagles team of the year. Okay. I didn’t get to see I should probably pull up a list of the awards from last night. I did not get to watch the show as we were in route traveling. But do they name the Super Bowl champ every year? Cuz I would have said Washington. Uh I’m I guessing that there have been um NBA champs who have named didn’t been named teams or maybe like Yukon when they were in the midst of winning all of those titles. They might have been team of the year. Oh, it’s just team of the year, not NFL team of the year. Yeah. Okay. Well, I don’t know. Yeah, because the NFL team of the year is the team that wins the Super Bowl. You’re right about that, Shu. I I’m just laughing at the prism through which Chewy thinks being, why wouldn’t there just be one for the NFL? Yeah. I mean, come on. It’s the best. Hope it gets here soon. The NFL. Yes, we are. We are really hoping that the NFL starts up very soon. We’ll take a break here on Jen, Gabe, and Chewy. Still a lot of stuff to get to. Stick around.

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 flesh 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.

Thank goodness, Joshy. Dodgers, right? Really? That quick of a turnaround? No. Next week. They’ve got the Dodgers coming up again soon. Thought it was the right out of the break, but it might be next. I thought I knew who it was and now you’re making me doubt myself. I got to look up the schedule. All right, you let me know. Um, so the OO, you’ve heard of this ESPN the Oo, it this is their time of year. Every year they roll out Oddball sports. It is the Dodgers. It is uh Oddball Sports and then they throw them on television. So Chu, I got a list here. I think I got an updated list. I think I have a list of at least things that they have done. Um, mullet championships. The hell do they do? I think they grade mullets. That’s a sport or does it matter? I think this is the oo. You know, it’s a little it’s more oddball peripheral. Do you ever have a mullet? What? No. Girls can have mullets. What would you call Carol Brady’s hair? Okay. Couple of things. Yes. I wasn’t alive as certainly not as an adult. You know what I did have though? Yeah. I had a perm when I was Have I told you guys the story about the perm? No. So, I was doing my mom got me a perm, you know, rollers and everything. They stick them in, they put all the chemicals on. So, I’ve got this curly curly little orphan nanny. Basically, I look like little orphan nanny, the brunette, not the red head. And I’ll never forget, I’m walking around my parochial school collecting the attendance sheets from each of the classrooms. I’m in fourth grade, okay? And I walk into the fifth grade classroom to grab the attendance sheet. And from the back of the classroom, some kid goes, “Oh my god, look at her hair. I love it.” It was traumatizing. Yeah. I ran my way back to the office. Did not leave the office. And then every day, this is a true story. I would not exaggerate. I brushed the bleep out of that perm. Brush, brush, brush, brush. My mom was so angry because she had spent so much money on the perm. She thought I looked adorable. I thought I looked hideous. Well, I had that. And the fifth grade boys comments confirmed I was right. I had the same experience. What? They Well, not with a perm, but they used to call me fish lips. How do you like me now? No, they did. Why did they call you fish lips? I have big lips. You did? Yeah. Yeah. Yep. a little traumatized. I mean, I’m looking at this photograph over here and your lips are very supple. I’m not gonna lie. You know, well, when I had a smaller head, they probably stood out a little more. But you never had the bull cut, Joshy. Bull cut. Literally cut 800903776. Tell us your childhood trauma here on Jen Ging. Uh some of the other things that the oo will be featuring uh corgi races. Races featuring adorable corgis. Is that a dog? The little doggies.

Yes. Uh this is called Bottle Frisbee. And from what I can I’ve called that game Frisnock or Beersby, I believe. Okay. So, there is going to be matches of that game as an extension. How do you play? You take a PVC pipe or any type of pole. You put a bottle on top of it and you throw a Frisbee from side to side. You’re 20 yards apart, 15 yards apart. And you have to catch the Frisbee, but the thrower’s goal is to hit it the the bottle off the top and you get points if you get the bottle to drop or the Frisbee to drop to touch the ground. It’s kind of like can jam. What’s is that the same thing? Can Jam? It is different. Can Jam is but it’s Yes, it’s very much the same. The goal is to get the Do you not heard of Can Jam? No. Well, how do you play can jam? Same way. Like a big what? Tube that you fold together and there’s a little gap in it and you try to throw the Frisbee. Oh, yeah. It’s like a It’s almost like a It’s like a trick shot, right? Trying to throw it through the hole. Yeah. But it’s a fun game to play in the backyard with beverages. That and the other one. What’s the one with the trampoline? Oh, the with the hand you smack the ball. The man show. No. Um 30 new competitions including unique sports like soap hockey. I assume that will be like playing hockey and it’ll be all soaped up. Are you playing with a piece of a bar of soap? I think the soap is the the puck. Yes. Okay. And it’s probably a little oblong there. That’s probably part of the entertainment value. How about slip and slide bowling? Well, you know that the slippery stairs like that’s the most famous one. That’s the most popular one every year, right? Where you see the people and they’re wearing like the basically like neoprene suits and you try to climb the stairs, but they’re covered in water and soap. And so, of course, every time you try to climb the stairs, you bubble bubble gum blowing championship. I should enter. I’m very good at blowing bubbles. What’s the best gum for it? Double bubble. Double bubble. Hubba Bubba. No. Hubba Bubba. Is that the kind bucket? The bucket that the baseball players use? That’s bazooka. The kind that comes in the big blocks and they’re like in a Oh, you remember those? Oh, yeah. Oh, those were not good for teeth. No. Great bubbles, though. You guys, we actually have people weighing in with their childhood trauma. Zack of the Forward Force says, “I had a huge head and everyone said they were going to pop my head with a needle.” Sorry about that, Zack. Dave in the 92 says, “One morning I forgot my lunch. My dad noticed, ran it out to me as I was getting on the bus. The problem was he was wearing a night shirt, cowboy boots, and a cowboy hat.” That’s awesome. He says, “I heard about it for the rest of the year.” Hey, we’ve all been there. My dad drove a mail truck. That’s so great. I would kill for a mail truck. Drove it everywhere, too. Really? Everywhere. Yeah, I think the the postal department was selling them off for pretty cheap one year, like 150 bucks, 200 bucks, and he was like, I’m going to get me one of those. That that was my question. Was he a mailman delivering mail, or had he just acquired a mail truck and said, “This will do.” Well, it’s obviously the worst one. So, did it still have logos on it or No, they had peeled the logos all off, but there were no seats in the back, so he installed some jump seats for us to sit in the back. There were no seat belts. It was highly ill. Sounds very safe. Sliding door, you know, cuz obviously, you know, he always thought it was cool in the summer where you could just keep the doors tapped open. It’s like the dingdong. You turned it into a Wrangler. You had children sitting in the back popping around like Ace Ventura in that opening scene of the second movie. I think if that happened today, you’re you if you did this, you’d be arrested a million%. Yes. They’d say you can’t do that. Small town. What do you mean? grandfathered in. What? Attaching seats randomly to the back seat and strapping your kids in. There were bungee cords, Chewy. There were bungee cords. Okay. So, awesome. I got a lot of that stuff. It probably explains a lot of the stuff we talk about on the radio here on Jen Gab Chewy. Any other oo games that we should note? Joshy? Uh, there is outouse races, which I’m trying to figure out. Are you racing from outouse to outhouse or are you taking an outhouse and getting it from one point to a finish line? Oo well because like a potato sack race would be you’re in the potato sack and you’re hopping hopping hopping. I can’t imagine that you are doing that with the outhouse. I also see that there is a national dodgeball league which will be participating in the oo that that’s sort of the origin because this is a nod to dodgeball the movie and this is sort of how it all started and and then they said like well there’s a lot of people doing interesting things like bike polo I believe is listed on here which is just like that sounds funo soccer on a with a with a bicycle. You have a mallet though cuz polo you polo you have a mallet. Do you have a mallet? I don’t think so. What would extreme archery championship involve? People, I was going to say it feels like if we’re getting real extreme, we’re shooting each other. Like Hunger Games. Have you seen Hunger Games? Katniss Everdine. Maybe it’s, you know, there’s blunted tips that are not going to pierce the What is mailboat jumping? That’s the only thing. Have you seen this? This is a thing that happens in Wisconsin. Well, on Lake Geneva. Yes. Yes. You have to audition to do the mail. Um they have a big mail because they still deliver it on the water. Yeah. So it’s basically young teenagers who the boat never stops moving and they jump off the front end, run to the mailbox, put the mail in, and then run to jump back onto the boat as it continues to put on by. I love this idea. I want to mailboat jump. Can someone make that happen? Imagine Don Donnie knee brace doing that. Going in for sure. Going in with a full He went in when the boat wasn’t moving. I feel like adding the motion to it is just cause for cause for trouble. All right, we’ll take a break here on Jen, Gabe, and Chewy. Roll on right after this. Stick around.

Ryan from Haguano says, “As a kid, I liked fishing, but I didn’t like touching the fish. I would bait the hook, though. My friend and his dad learned this and thought it was funny to throw all the fish we caught at me. We were in the boat, and I couldn’t go anywhere. I haven’t fished or eaten seafood since. I heard the only thing that could cure me is going to a Jake Owens concert tonight.” Intent. I mean, look, I got to appreciate the effort, you know? I If I had a boat. Yeah, bring Ryan from Aguano. Um, an outhouse race is what they do at the Kentucky Derby infield. They get on top and run on top of the rows of outouses. At the derby, they get pelted by beers thrown from the crowd. That makes a lot more sense, right, Joshy? Running on top of the outhouses. I mean, I mean, given the context, yes. Does it make any sense as a sport? Wait, wait, hold on, though. John in the MK says, “An outhouse race is building an outhouse that has four wheels on it and you have four people push the outhouse. Some p sometimes one person is riding inside the outhouse. I like the other one better.” I’m going to be honest. I think because I Googled that and I think that’s what it is. I think the one they put wheels on an outhouse. Yes. It’s sort of a bobslood race but with an outhouse. Is the outhouse full? I would envision no. Okay. But if they did put water in it with blue dye and it tipped over I don’t I don’t think there’s anything more disgusting than an outhouse. You won’t use a porta potty. I ain’t sitting down. Well, okay. But if you stand, what’s the difference? Smell. Well, yes, that that’s So you’d rather just take a bushweed? The visual. Will the Tasha is next on ESPN Milwaukee.
