Good morning, everybody. My name is Bart Winkler. And this is the NBA Draft Show. And I've had a long day. But I made it home just in time to be present with you.

Rocking my For golf merch. which I'll tell you about. As soon as the Bucs made their pick. I sat down and joining me is Evan Heffelfinger. Oh, it's good to see you again, Evan.

It's good to see you. That polo is absolutely fire, and I want one. Where can I buy it?

Well, I'm going to put you on the spot. What do you think a nice... polo like this would go for. Oh man. I mean, polos are shockingly expensive.

I'm going to say $55. I can get to you for $44.99. Oh, and with the promo code BART at forgolfapparel.com. you can save another 10% off.

So, I would do the math on that, but that sounds like a great deal. Yeah. Uh is this a good deal? The Bucs take Andre Jackson Jr. From Yukon?

I'm starting my reading, you know, my you know I didn't go into the night thinking, Andre, I don't. I don't watch college basketball, so I don't think you're the last person you should be watching. Also, I'll get into that in a minute. But Buck's Twitter. Jesus Christ, you guys.

Yeah, I I mean the fact that we were able to get a any deal at all. And it's only because it was with John Hammond. Like, he's gonna help out the Bucks anyway, he can.

So, is that a problem? I saw one guy tweet. Um And at first I was like, God, you guys relax. Because I think my problem is I can't. I don't want to be critical.

of people that are fans anymore. See I just need to acknowledge that I can't keep up with you guys. When it comes to the offseason, like the regular season, I feel great about the playoffs. I think that I'm the master. But the offseason and how we're all like, come on, horse, do something.

Like I I can't keep up with. This Paul Henning tweet from earlier. My my guy. free clouds. NBA pre-draft trades have been the rich getting richer.

Suns get Beal. Celtics Porzingis. Warriors Chris Paul. Grizzlies get Smart. Not sure what horse can make happen.

But it's been an arms race. And the bucks are in their bunker. Mm-hmm.

So CP3 to the Suns is not an arms race. No. And my guy, Paul Henning. Mm-hmm.

Hey, any word on Hugo Basson's contract? Remember this guy? Then one guy up earlier tonight. Yeah. Well, we we may see them.

But then one guy goes. 'Cause the trade was the Bucks get 36. The magic get a 23. Yeah. Second rounder, which doesn't exist.

Yeah, the bugs. Essentially, they sold a child tonight. They traded the rights to a 12-year-old. And it makes sense because Jimmy Haslam, we paid cash considerations, so it's nothing new to Jimmy Haslam. Yeah.

But then this guy Nathan. MKE underscore print says. Dog weak ass had to call up his mentor. Get dude away from my team. Horse has no pull.

And at first I was thinking. You know, that's mean, but then that second I was thinking. Maybe he has no poll. And he got stuck and he had to He had to call his old mentor. I mean, that's what happened.

So, that being the long setup. to whatever it was that I interrupted from you. The way I see it, an early second round pick is more expensive than you'd think. And We essentially got a second round pick for Not much. Cash doesn't matter to us.

No, someone else's money. I don't care. And a 20-30 pick. I even if it's completely unprotected, worst case scenario, it's thirty-one.

So Oh, do you actually care about that at all? No. The thing is, the general issue is kind of unfair that like Horst and Hammond can make moves that Are either of them going to be around? My roommate made a great point that The magic doesn't have use for all of these picks and the roster spots. These young players, so you might as well.

Get some cash. And get a pick for in the future when you hopefully develop some of these guys to actually get you to the playoffs instead of the lottery. And then Use that 20-30 pick for your rotation if everything goes well. Right. And for the Bucks, they're the perfect trade partner because they don't have assets.

They're not going to go out and make a trade. I'm sorry, we were not getting Bradley Beal. We weren't going to get Damien Lillard. for Drew Holiday and Grayson Allen. It just wasn't going to happen.

So the fact that Horace was able to do something to get a top 40 pick. In what my very limited reading said, 20 to 40 is kind of the like. Uh They're all interchangeable in this draft. I think he did a great job to give up nothing, no players. And you get what seems to be an interesting player in Andre Jackson.

Well, now I see the first again. I don't know, we're doing this on the fly here.

Now I see people. complaining about a guy that can't shoot. This is also like, this is a free pick though. Yes. Is bonus.

To free pick. From what I've been reading since we picked this guy, He has a spectacular feel for the game. He's a fantastic passer and a willing passer. All right. I'm reading Eric Name right now.

Yeah. And the CBS draft um what they have on in. But they say that he's like unbelievably athletic, that he has a really great feel on defense, that he could guard. Probably one through four. At six, six, six, seven, whatever he is.

that he Really wants to be coached, and he has a great attitude. I saw that he was a really good locker room guy. Which I mean, for the culture, you absolutely like that for the culture. Yeah, well bucks culture, of course. But He he can't shoot.

They said that he has trouble from 10 feet out. Which I mean, join the club for this team. But at the end of the day, You got a defender who you can slot in right away, take pressure off of Drew defensively so that he can. Focus on scoring. That's the reason he shot 30% during the playoffs is because he's chasing Jimmy for 40 minutes a game, and then you expect him to go and drop 20 and 5 on efficient shooting.

It's just not going to happen.

So Andre Jackson Jr. I guess ru like immediate scenario. If everything's the same, where does he fit in? I think Let's see. I'm just reading some tweets too.

Yannis Mew says Marjan and Andre Jackson Jr. are going to put superstar wings in hell every night. Mm-hmm.

Uh Adam Zagora says he is a Swiss Army knife. who can do a lot of things and is a winner. He six and four for the Huskies last year, shooting just 28% from three. Um GM your boy. says Bucks must feel pretty confident.

They can turn him into a respectable three-point shooter because, if not, Giannis is going to have a hard time playing with him in the half court. Um I don't know. I've seen two-player comps so far for him, and Bucks fans are going to absolutely love these two-player comps. CBS Sports has his comp As Michael Carter Williams. Oh boy.

Bleacher Report had his comp as Dante DiVincenzo. Uh So, either way, what you're getting there, if you combine the two of those, it's actually a serviceable basketball player. you get someone with a A good passing feel, a tall guard that can guard hopefully from one to at least three. And you get a guy who's a winner, like Dante. He was fresh off of a national championship.

So is Andre. CBS says that he might be the most unique player in this draft. that if he could shoot he would have been a first sure top 10 pick So I like it. It's upside. He's not you know, twenty-seven years old.

So, I mean, he's twenty-one, that's close enough, but I I I don't see any reason to hate it. Sure you want shooters, but Yeah. Who cares? It's a young player. Our roster is 48 years old on average.

Let's get.

Someone who was born in the 2000s. Yeah. A roster is like me. Doing this uh Ambassador thing with Milwaukee Pro Soccer. You'll see me at Summerfest, but I'm 39 doing this thing.

So I'm the box. And then the rest of the kids are the NBA. They're all like recent college graduates.

So I'm just an old ass man. I did, as you were talking, I changed my YouTube description to try to poach some views. I titled it, it was just Bart Winkler Show draft coverage. I turned it into Andre Jackson Jr. We are watching highlights.

Oh.

So hopefully, Andre Jameson Jr. highlights. Oh, what is this dumb show? That's what I'm trying to do. Jordan Treskey.

He says, like to see the added athleticism. That's for sure. That's good. Maybe. Greg says, at least it's a young athletic guy versus some 30-plus bargain bin guy.

Okay. Bucky says, oh, my guy, Bucky. Bucky says, all of this means nothing. Welcome to the Wisconsin herd. I mean, yeah, I'm sure he'll probably be.

When she says, I only watch Marquette and Big East. Very little NBA, but I can tell you Jackson is all athleticism. That sounds like a miserable existence. It does. But uh doesn't don't doesn't people want athleticism?

Okay. Oh, absolutely. I'm All for athleticism. We have Giannis, who's athletic, and then... Marjon.

What's going on with Chris now?

So he's going to sign a deal next week? I would be very shocked if he didn't.

Okay, I had two.

So the guy, I mean, I'm going to talk about it anyway.

So the guy that I'm doing, I'm doing brighter than you next week.

Okay. And the guy that's the producer, Tom. was asking me he was texting me today about middleton like What are they going to do? Because he said he was getting killed that the Bucs should only offer him two years. And I was like, okay.

And then Gelb texted me too. He's like, What what's going on with Middleton?

So then I just screenshotted what I was talking to Tom about. And I'm like, what is up with you? What are you? Wh why is CBS Sports so obsessed with Middleton? Right now.

I don't think there's anything other than the scene. What I told him was. The Bucks, like They just they You're not going to offer, Chris is not going to sign here for two for 80 or something. No. Like if Chris signed for two years for 80.

we'd be over the moon because what people don't want is that Fourth year. And then certainly the third year.

So, people don't want that. But, Chris, it's just that's not how this ecosystem works. No. If you want a guy for two, you're signing him for four. That's just the market, that's just the way that it exists.

So, We're not going to like the deal because it's going to be too long. And why it's going to be too long is that that's going to be three more years of Chris's knees. On a floor. And while you might say, hell, I'll pay 50 million or whatever it is, 40, 50 million for Chris next year, nobody wants to pay that to him. In four years.

So that's where, but, but that's, I don't see anything, he's not gonna. He's not going to just sign somewhere else. You know, we're not going to let him do that. No. He's coming like other teams are like, oh, now that he's a free agent, I'm interested in he's not.

I just I don't I can't foresee a scenario where It would take some uh a a competitive team. And no one's gonna do that. Clearing the cap space to give him an offer that he can't refuse. But that's just not going to happen. The only way he's leaving is if we try to severely lowball him, which I don't think we're going to do.

And I or he is just completely fed up with Milwaukee and the Bucks, which I don't think he is. I also think if he was accept, if he accepted his option. Bucks fans should have been scared. 'Cause that means that he knows that his body is done. that he's gonna fail physicals or I'm not gonna get anything remotely close to that.

On the open market.

So From what I've seen, Everybody around the league expects him to be back with the Bucs. It's going to be a four-year deal. But it's gonna be anywhere from one hundred to one hundred and thirty million.

Somewhere from like 25 to 32 million a year. But that's going to be huge because that alone will help them stay under that. like the new like levels of the tax apron or whatever they're calling it. I don't understand it. I don't think many people do.

But you're keeping him here. You're at least hopefully making him a buck for life. Gives you room to sign Brooke Lopez to whatever astronomical two-year deal he's going to get. And you can hopefully still use your taxpayer MLE instead of. being completely capped out.

This is Woj on ESPN. A clutch fan says the video. The Bucs are also facing Brooke Lopez's free agency. And there's an expectation that the Houston Rockets, flushed with a lot of salary cap space, are going to be a real threat for Lopez. And this is a Bucs team that continues to be in a window mode around Giannis.

So, okay, I just gave you the audio of something that I could have said, but. That was a report a couple days ago, and I'm sure the Rockets are going to go out and try to give him a lot of money. I don't think Brooke's going anywhere. The last we heard from Brooke, he wants to stay here. I don't We're three of our four core guys right now.

are just flat out free agents. Right. And yet we don't have one thing that happens. What's that we don't have money? Yeah.

That's the fun part, is even though they're free agents, if they left. We're still capped out. There's nothing we could do.

So you have no choice but to keep these guys. Is there like a good write-up from like... Sportsbloghooper.com that I can read about Andre Jackson Jr. Where did he go to college? Uh Yukon?

UConn. You could probably find something from him.

So maybe writing about him, a big East writer. Oh, so the the magic actually drafted him. Yeah. I hate that. Why does why does the EMA fix that?

Well, it's because There are so many different weird rules to get around the salary cap and all of that dumb shit. Like The reason that they can't announce this one tonight is because we traded a twenty thirty pick. Which doesn't exist. Until this draft ends. Really?

Yeah. All right, let me read this one. What the fuck? Oh, Bruho bet an ad on it. God, how annoying is it when you try to watch Fucking something and then an ad pops up.

Yeah. Yeah. In the meantime, happyplace 25% off. on their gummies. I will take one tonight.

But I've had a long day. I like to take them to help me fall asleep. Mm-hmm.

But your boy's been grinding. I was out at Carl's place. Mm-hmm.

Golfing with Toby, a nice reunion. Got to be with him live. For the reaction for CP3 to Jordan Poole. Yep. I said, Toby, what the fuck?

He's like, huh? I go You guys traded CP3. He goes, Oh, what do we get? I was like, Jordan Poole. He's like, what?

Jordan, Jordan. And then he starts talking about this. GM, how he's the hero. I'm like, who? What?

Like Mike Harris or some bullshit? I don't know. But the fact that they got anybody serviceable. No matter what you're doing. Tell me.

Michael Winger is the ghost. I don't know what's there. They have had a pretty good draft so far. I'm gonna pretend like I know what I'm talking about. Yeah.

Warriors got another guy that I guess is from Wisconsin. Yeah. Fifth straight year a Wisconsin person's been picked in the first round. Wow, look at us. I know.

But people sleep. And why aren't these kids going to Wisconsin? People need to know. It's a great question. Gray Garden, Grey Garden's going to be held.

Oh, Johnny Davis, but. Greg Gardner needs to be held accountable. All right. Oh, happy play something on promo codes. Bart, 25% off your orders with the gummies and the tinctures.

And the uh C V D Lotion. Which God I would love to spread all over you right now. Make us both. JM says this kid's passing ability in transition. His next level.

Okay, that could actually be huge, though, because the Bucks, when they're at their best, it's when they're running in transition. Because we know their half court offense isn't good. It's when there's disruption. And if he can find Giannis for some alley oops, okay, deal. Michael Winger fan is here.

Yeah. Let's go, Mindy. Toby Altizer. I couldn't even tell you the guys we've drafted tonight. Bilal Kulabali.

Who's that? Yeah, that one it seemed like it was a little bit of a reach, but that's uh Big thing about Yama's Yeah, he's the he's the better player from the Metropolitans in France. They see I s I read it very uh briefly that he is the biggest boomer bust in this draft.

Well, he's like, he he like just two years ago, he was like... 5'10.

Now he's 6'8 with like a 7'3 wingspan, 18 years old. Toby and I had a nice time today. Yeah, we had a lot of fun. Yeah. I'm glad.

It's good to see you fellas. Yeah. But now he's got to leave soon. Yep, leaving on Monday. Leave it on Monday.

I love that, like, the room you're in in Wisconsin and the room you're in. In DC, I cannot tell the difference. Yeah. You got the same shit like. That you have a 11-year-old would have.

I was going to ask: did you fly back today already? Yeah. The only thing I have that I can flex is this. Oh, sure. You didn't bring that with you to DC?

I didn't have enough room and I didn't want to like scrunch it up. No. Okay. Okay. To be fair though, I brought my Terry McLaurin one.

Oh, yeah, you got that autographed. Right? Yeah. Yeah. So I when I I was coming home from Madison.

tonight and I thought God, I hope the draft like Isn't over too soon. Before I start talking, but this thing has been going on. It's 11.05 PM right now. is the recording and we still got what 15 picks or something Why is this running so why the first round goes so slow? This is the longest draft that I can remember, and I've been watching this draft.

every year since I was a little kid. This is unbelievably long. But this is why the NBA draft is so hard. Like Obviously I'm a Wizards fan. I get excited.

I'm looking at guys. I'm like, I don't know any of these guys from college. And even if I did, even if I watched every game of college basketball, then we just drafted a dude out of France that I haven't ever heard of. College is hard too because. Like The guys that you know in college, for some reason, it's always like, oh, this guy, he's all fucking world in college.

Oh, he'll be a shit pro. Yeah. Well, who do you draft then? Oh, uh, he never plays like four minutes a night, but he's gonna be great in the pros. Yeah, isn't he playing now?

How am I supposed to get excited when they draft a guy and it says, yeah, he averaged five points a game? That's what it is. That's what we're doing. We're going to bring in Tony in Texas as well.

Well, hey, did we know a little unknown guy from Greece? Toby back in 2013.

Well the fingers Terrible pick. Terrible pick. Didn't know him. The wizards just drafted a guy that they said was from Greece, and then they popped up his thing and said he was from Serbia.

So I don't know what's going on.

Well, I mean, you're you're from America, but aren't you f part Filipino? Yeah, part Filipino. There is a Filipino basketball player. What kind of transition was that? Oh, I'm just saying, Toby's.

I mean, you could relate to two different countries. I don't know. There's your there's your trivia. I'm hero of trash. I can There's one partially killed.

Can anyone that one there is one? Yeah. He's He's not full Filipino. Um Uh Bench player. What team?

Manny Pacquio. He's been all around. Yeah, it's Manny Peck. No, Jordan Clarkson. Oh, now I've known.

Hey, Bart, the real MVPs of the draft were those moms. Holy cow. No, I did not see any of the draft yet. I'm just letting you. Toby's got a smile on his face.

He knows what I'm talking about. Those moms are probably younger than you. They are way younger than me. I was watching LSU and Wake Forest. Oh, baseball.

Who won? Wake? LSU 2-0 in the 11th. Paul See. I've been watching the college baseball, too, Tob.

My frogs are out of it, though.

Well, I only care because Paul Skeens is going to be the best pitcher in baseball pretty soon, and he's going to pitch for the Nationals.

Okay. Wow. Comment from Grant. Yeah. He says, Can we count on a Bart Winkler live show after Zog?

Okay, I didn't see like. You know, I'll be there for that. All I saw this morning was Zuckerberg agrees to fight Elon. And I'm like. I don't know where this started.

What happened? I don't know either. All I know is Zuck is gonna kick the shit out of Elon. Evon's totally someone that fights like. Oh, he's all talk.

Like, don't hit me. But Zuckerberg has actually done like karate or like.

Some actual fighting will just look at you and you'll implode from his robot eyes. He's also a robot, so. Nice job, team. I do want to mention Grant for a second. I want to play a little radio fuck killer Mary.

Okay. Yeah. First of all, I would like to.

Well, I'd like to.

So, there's somebody that was on Horvot's show tonight. Oh.

Did a mock draft. And he's like, hey, here's my mock draft before I go on BET MGM. And he did a mock draft of 60 teams, like 60 guys getting drafted.

Now because of Uh Violations. There's only 58 picks tonight. Mm-hmm.

Mm. How do you do the mock draft, make a graphic and not know that? When you do mock drafts. Like you get excited about the first 15 and then you're like, ah fuck, this sucks. And so you like race towards the end.

How do you not know that?

So, but he's going to be my fuck because. I don't wanna fucking deal with that. I was gonna be mad at him, but I don't wanna fuck. that. Uh kill will be the game.

I have I have a tweet ready to go tomorrow. Interesting. The game Zaves off and they brought this one guy in. From Ohio to fill in, and he did this big video tonight about how he's eating chili. For the first time, he did like a chili reveal, he's eating swordfish or something.

So I tweeted, this will be the tweet that goes out tomorrow. And I do hope that it stirs some things up. Um I said What is the point of the game building a bench with young talent if they never get to fill in any time the host takes off? Hey, Milwaukee, I'm Eric Slickhair in for Zabe. First up, do you guys really eat this much cheese?

And later, I'll try to pronounce economica walk. Every time we get these new people, TV anchors too, they do it. Oh, well, we'd like to welcome Jess Mahoney. Jess comes to us from West Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Jess, what have you liked about our great city so far?

Well, I just realized you guys have beer and cheese and sausage all over. I just got off the plane and was driven straight here, but I can already smell the beer. I just can't wait to learn about your great cities. Waukesha and oh, that's not how you say it, Jess. Okanaka-maka-wa.

Toby, Toby came in. And and the next day he's wave the damn flag at the brewer game. Hold on, wait longer than that to wave the flag. I wasn't just one day here, next day wave the flag. Come on.

Oh, but then I want to marry Grant. Because the 30 minute. Documentary that he has produced. He, I, these ears have heard it already. About Paige Spranik bobblehead night.

He's playing it on his show, 4 p.m., Wisco Sports Show. It is so Good. He knocked it out of the park. He's been hyping that up. And I heard you talk.

Oh, he should. And the brewers need to listen to this and like. Hire him. Yeah. They need to promote it.

They're going to be all mad that some of the Brewers don't deserve to be covered. How well Grant covered. Covered them. And I can't wait for everybody to hear it. He's so good.

You had me at Grant Bills, but then you also extra had me at Paige Sporanik. Yeah. So that's my fuck Mary Kill. In the radio here, as I've got on the Dan Shaney. YouTube stream.

Do I have too many sponsors? People are asking. No. For golf, by the way. Yeah.

Uh Dan Shaney YouTube stream. I haven't even gotten to my new Omaha steaks deal yet to tell you about. Anyway.

So I tweeted a game. I tweeted a picture from the Ford Madison game tonight afterwards. As a big win, and someone goes, Oh, they sponsor you too. I said they do in terms of. I provide services for them during the game as an employee, and they sponsor me.

Yeah, they sponsoring the way. Oh, we set a world record tonight, by the way. Four. Um For most people to be standing on one leg at one time. Because it was Flamingo Day, and their nickname's the Flamingos.

So I had to do the PA and, like, all right, fans, it's time to decide to set this world record. We need you. All right, you're doing good over there in 102. Ma'am, I'm going to need your help. Section 112, the fuck are you doing?

We're trying to set a record here. Anyway.

The fact that you told me to come for that and I d I missed it, I I really disappointed. You could be in the Guinness Book of World Records right now, Toby. I could have had my name down for standing on one leg.

Well, they actually did not have a Guinness guy there, and you need that to secure it. Anyway, MC says Oliver. This guy from Marquette, I don't know. How do I not know? Like this guy.

Omax. Prosper. Oh, this is Omax.

Okay. But he's not the guy they were talking about all year.

Well, he came on later in the year. He's a good one. He came on in the last four days. No, he was solid. He's a good player.

They're going off projection in his growth and his length.

Well, isn't that what you like? Weigh these guys on projection, not what they've done. Oh so doing. Yeah, that's maybe who I'm thinking of. A Digazoo or whatever?

So the Mavs got him from the Kings. Um Anything cool happened?

So, all I've seen, and I haven't been able to see much. Obviously, we got to mention Web and Miana.

Well, here's the interesting thing about the Drady Dix dressed up weird. Yeah. Because he's from Kansas, he was dressed like the Ruby Slippers. Yeah. Legitimately, it was.

What, Tony? I was going to mention, it seems like a lot of these are good kids. Do you remember Bart back in the early 2000s? There's like a thug league or whatever. You can tell these are good kids coming in.

How competitive they're going to be, I don't know, but they could tell they're well-grounded, good, good, good guys. Hopefully, they're going to be good players, but. Um You know, I don't know if these guys are gonna be like the Alan Iverson types, which I kind of enjoyed seeing that guy with the chip on his shoulder. It seems like it's more suburban kids these days. That's what I'm noticing.

It's kind of like a shift of skill. And money versus coming from the inner city. It just seems to look like a different type of player now. You can get fired for using that T word there, Tony. S John B line.

What was that word? I'm not going to say it. I'm not trying to get fired. What did he say, TH? Yeah.

You can't say that. Can't say that. Can't say thug.

Okay. He said it again. Can't say it. Bart's show, not mine. Yeah, that's true.

I'm gonna have to bleep it out now. It seems like these guys are like nice guys. I mean, they're all like 19 years old. And it's I think, Tony, you and I have crossed the. Threshold in our life where We can't Say anything without saying what it used to be.

No, we're like Don Draper.

Well yeah, we can't like We can't just like talk about. Here Here, if you want an interesting discussion. What are your thoughts on Brandon Miller over Scoot Henderson I just don't understand how Brandon Miller was allowed to play basketball. Yeah. That's another guy.

I think it's like a John Morant type situation, good family. China act hardcore. I don't James Miller allegedly supplied a weapon that was used in a murder. Right. John Morant just likes playing with guns.

Right. I feel like uh But I don't feel like Brandon Miller is a bad kid, but he made a very poor choice. which like but he saw no there there were no repercussions for it Correct. Like his I don't know. I would not be able to live with myself.

I don't understand how he didn't have to serve a suspension or anything. Like, he. And he got drafted number two overall. And there's not going to be any suspension in the NBA or anything. It is odd.

Yeah. All right, Evan's here, Kobe's here.

Well, what else? You know what else stood out? Is there's another local kid from Greenfield that ended up getting drafted. This Brandon Plazinski kid, I think. Warriors.

Yeah, the Warriors are turning into the Milwaukee Warriors, which is kind of cool, you know?

Well, even though that's Tony, I'm just doing a professional reset. And then from the Win and Six podcast. Jordan Treskey. Has joined the show. Hey buddy.

Hello. Hello. Welcome back. Thank you. Just click that handy link.

Yeah, we don't know anything about this pic. I'm right there with you. The least amount of draft prep I have done in like a long time. Just because I saw the Bucks had the last pick, and therefore I was like, you up. I'm probably not going to really invest in it.

Would get a freebie from his old boss. Yeah, exactly. The John to John connection. Do we know like um You know, it is hard in the NBA when you draft guys because Especially at 36, we don't know what his immediate role is going to be. Um And this isn't a guy that they're gonna like.

Send over C, that's so weird, too.

Some of the, like, like Hugo Basson, who I brought up earlier. We draft a guy, he just disappears. Kalatzikas, what was the even point of that?

So this is obviously, this is a guy, this guy will have a contribution. I just don't know what it'll be yet. Yeah, I mean What is it we don't even know what it means for the current roster. Like. There are guys that could leave like Javon Carter has a player option.

Is this like insurance for him? Or, you know what I mean? It's like it goes on and on and on and stuff like that.

So I don't know. But very impressive, all the same. Like, he does have some definitive flaws, but. I mean, we'll see if it ends up meaning that he's going to be a meaningful role player down the line. Am I wrong to not be able to like.

I can't keep up with Buck's Twitter anymore. I don't either. I mean, I'm. As I have gotten older, the more I separate and just kind of, uh, you know. It's just they want so much.

Yeah. And we have so little in terms of draft picks. You can't make draft picks that you don't have. We trade to 36 and it's like. That's it.

Should have traded up to 32. Yeah. Hey, I got a question for you, Jordan. Are the Bucs now in a better position against Boston with Przingis losing? Marcus Smart.

I thought Smart was a damn good player. I've always liked this game. I just think that's the heart and soul of the Celtics, and to lose that guy, I think, is a big loss. I was very shocked by that whole thing because I thought, I mean, Porzingus is a good player, and obviously, health is the biggest question with him. But like We saw the b like a very low level Uh I guess comparison of this, but we saw the Bucks do this with Dante and trading.

Him for Surge and Surge was Not a role player, like sloppy a wig for a big. Right. Kind of handicaps your versatility and everything like that.

So, like, I didn't. I don't really see the high upside unless that they're really covering for Robert Williams, who's also had. You know, his injury concerns and Al Horford's, as good as he's been in the playoffs, like he's still an older player. Like, it is an odd trade. And Brad Stevens has acquired, like, what, eight draft picks tonight in like a record amount of time.

So, I have no idea what they're going to do. But Derek White is, I mean, I feel like they're trying to, they're really hingy on him being like a. I guess Jack of all trades, Mercus Smart, I guess, that could shoot better, maybe.

Well, and if Malcolm Brogdon stays healthy, then they got someone to fill in with those two guys. But I mean, we know what Brogdon is. He's hurt all the time. He was a big problem last year because they could have used him in the playoffs. Yeah, I know.

Bart's got the same foot condition. I do. I have plantar fasciitis now. Yeah. Yeah, I'm I'm a fresh diagnosse.

Yeah. been rubbing that tennis ball against the foot I have been doing that. Uh you know and actually when I when we were golfing Toby, I didn't feel it today. Nice. I didn't even think about it.

I didn't even think that I had it. And then. On the way to forward Madison. Lo and behold, there was a casino on the way. Didn't know that.

Oh, man. Won a quick 50 at Ho Chunk. Yeah. Okay. And then uh And then I like limped into the building.

Yeah. I looked into the building and I still lapped like six old ladies trying to get in too.

Okay. I made a mistake. I, the casino is hard because sometimes I like. I'm like pressing this this. Oh, I'm pressing an oxygen tank.

Fuck, I'm sorry, ma'am. I didn't mean to. That reminds me of that scene in Swing Don Favreau's characters out there playing with the older folks while the high rollers are at the other table. That's what that scene was like probably. I got a tweet from Horbot I want to read.

It's a. Add on to a Toby tweet. Toby says pretty clear with the Wizards draft. They're drafting projects with high upside. Horbot says they are shit.

We'll be shit next year. We'll always be shit. Space, enter. Nobody wants to live here. Yeah.

Yeah, he's shitting on the DMV. I don't know why. When I last saw him, he enjoyed it. He likes the area. I liked my four-day visit to the DMV last year.

It was fun. I want to go back.

Well I don't know if I want to live there, but I enjoyed it. It's a nice area. I don't know why Horvod hates on it so much. Hey, I was in DC once on the 4th of July, and we were on the rooftop, and we could see probably 12 different cities or whatever doing their fireworks. And it was.

I mean, I never felt more proud to be American. I'll tell you what. Yeah. So that you turn into a Texan? I'm just a good loving American.

I'll be in DC on the 4th of July. Hey, look at you. with all the cockroaches out there. They got a big cockroach problem. Eh.

That's how I was also told. And so they're all politicians, but. We are broadcasting, we are taping as the Bucks still have number 58. Which is coming up. Oh, Amani Bates went to the.

Went to the Cavs. I don't know much about him. I just saw a lot of people wanted him. And then if the Bucs would have taken him at 36. He'd been like, oh, fuck this, even though he's the guy they wanted.

I want them later.

Well, you got a free pick. You traded away a 12-year-old. I asked this to Evan earlier. I said, The Bucs sold the rights to a 12-year-old tonight. Yeah.

They are human trafficking.

Okay. The year you can't trade picks. You're trading a pick in 2030. Yeah. That year doesn't exist.

No, no. Did you see the tweet that Shams tweeted out saying that some agent was calling around to teams telling them not to draft him because they had spots? Oh, how's that allowed?

Some agent, Rich Paul was calling around a different team saying, Don't draft my guy because we have somewhere we want to go. Yep. Did that happen? I have no idea, but that doesn't make that doesn't make any sense. How's that allowed?

It's not. That was the thing with Halburn a couple of years ago, right? They were telling teams to not take them.

Okay, but it'd be one thing if it's like the first overall pick, like an Elon Manning situation. This isn't you're not a first round pick. You don't get to pick where you want to go. Yeah, if you're like the 14th prospect, what are you doing? I don't know.

I'm still surprised that we do drafts in the first place. Do you want to go back to the regional selections like in the territorial? Go to the state thing. They have no Ability To pick where they're going. They just.

I don't know. We'd have a Halliburton. Hero MC says you're talking about Chris Livingston. Yeah. What in the world?

I don't know who that is. I don't either. That wasn't it. How does he How does he have the right to say, I don't want to go there?

Well, that's like, remember when, remember, remember when I got called racist for saying it? Thank you. Yeah, so it was Devontae Parker. Yeah. I mean, he was like, no, I want to go to the Patriots.

And he got like They trade him there for his request or something until he's like. How does Devontae Parker get to pick where he wants to go? He fucking stinks. I didn't say that exactly. I know.

But then someone's like, Toby, you don't want guys to get their own lot in life. And then he said something about like, he's just a dad trying to do right by his kids. And he went in on you. And it's like. Guy, Devontae Parker stinks.

This isn't bad.

Something about race. Whatever. Is Chris Livingston? Are you going to get yelled at for that too? Uh probably, I don't know.

I don't know. I hope Chris Livingston makes it in the NBA and becomes the best player in the NBA and makes lots of cash for his kids. Yeah, I hope so too. And he gets to go wherever he wants because that's what he deserves, a second-round pick in the NBA. I agree.

I agree. Alright, so who are we picking here? Does it even matter? But I will say, my favorite thing about Wisconsin sports is people were in a tizzy because they let go of Georgius, Calixakis. They were mad when Kurt Ben Kurt got let go.

Why do you guys care about the last dude on the roster so much? It's a very important role, position. Mammu is the latest one, Toby. We traded him to the Spurs.

Okay, but the difference is: like, Mamu is actually playing. Like these other dudes get mad. Make no sense. Y'all are nuts. You care so much about the last dude there is.

Well, if they do one thing on Twitter that like acknowledges them, it's like Christian Wood, there's another example. He but he played a little bit. I wouldn't say it. If one attempts to be. Yeah, and hey, if Brooke Lopez goes to.

The Rockets. We're going to have an opening for C. Wood. Get him back here, baby. Oh, he's better.

He better not leave. Hey, where's Thon Maker playing anyway? Where is the I just I looked it up last year. He was playing somewhere overseas and averaging like three points a game. Oh.

The other thing sturgeons. Kim. Can someone hint the rock artist? Oh, that's Supreme Stevens.

Sorry. Yeah. Very good. Yeah. Yeah.

Can someone explain to me? I feel like I should know this. What's the difference between the G League Ignite, Overtime Elite, and all these different things that people are getting drafted from? Um If you don't, there's a G League team where if you don't want to go to college, you can go to the G League team. That's the Ignite.

But we're talking a lead is something else. I thought that was a little bit, it's like the IMG Academy kind of thing. Yeah, that sounds right. I think Durant has some like I mean, he has his hands in a lot of favors.

Well, then, why don't they just let him go pro? That's what I'm saying. That's what I mean. You could do the Lamello route and go to New Zealand for a year. Yeah.

So stupid. Just let him go to 'Kay.

Well, then you have guys like Wiseman that play three games. How about uh Lonzo Ball probably never playing again and then blaming it on his shoes. I mean, those are some plants? They were pretty bad. They were terrible.

They call her brain. Yeah. I feel bad for Lonzo because he is a really good basketball player and fun to watch, but. Toby, you ever get starberries back in the day? Heck yeah, my dad worked at Stephen Berry's, of course.

Oh, really?

Okay, Stephen Berry's. Whatever happened to that store? Uh it went down the drain. Oh man, your dad worked at Stephen Berry's Berry's. That's that's good.

They had the corner on Random College Birch. They did. That's what they were good at. Is he involved in the scandal? I have no idea, but you want a random sweatshirt that says Eastern Michigan?

There's no better place than Stephen Berry's. Or you want fifty dollar sneakers? Starberries are your thing, man. Weren't they like five bucks? Fifteen They actually weren't bad.

Oh, I don't know.

Well, we all had bears. Former Bucks One's at Walmart right now. My parents, we had four kids. I mean those were our shoes. I mean, who Like who who were the wizards dra to Mani Kamara?

Jesus Christ, no one cares. Yeah, but like, Chris Jackson Davis is there. How hey how Who had the poorest growing up? I think it's me. It wouldn't be.

We had four boys. We knew, like, I knew what paycheck week was when I was seven. Because On the first week. I'd be eating good. The s this the sandwiches were Cheese and ham and turkey.

Exactly. And like, you know, a little separate, and then I. Every other week at school, I had a full week where. My dad would pack a cheese and butter sandwich. Whoa.

And that's what I ate. No meat? Cheese and butter. That's a Midwestern laundry there People are like, oh, hot lunches, are they nutritious enough? Fam, I'm eating cheese and butter.

Yeah. Yeah. Looks like you made up with it in your adult life. You look like you've been up with it. Eaten well.

Wow, fuck off. But maybe, Tony, that's the thing. Because now I've told my wife this: I feel like every meal has to be an event. Every meal's got to be. I can't just.

Eat a bowl of soup and some crackers. I got a cheeseburger. Change the You know what I mean? Yeah. Heck yeah, man.

Uh is this pick almost coming up so I can go to bed? What a long day, dude. Five away. Yeah. Five picks away.

Five picks away. You've been watching this whole draft. And and I talked to Evan earlier today and he said he's very excited. Mm-hmm.

Why is this draft still going on almost at midnight? I don't know. And it's been boring as fuck, too. And ESPN's so bad with this draft. I can't stand ESPN.

Where are these, like, I don't care about trading. Up two picks. Where are the trades? With the big name players. I wanna see some cases.

Well, we've done all those already, I guess. Yeah. We moved Bradley Beal, Chris Paul, and Christophe Gorzingus for you. What more could you want? What do you think of all these trades like?

Um Another thing I did, I had world's busiest day. I was on Grant's show today as a Warriors expert. To talk about the Chris Paul situation. Um I I just I don't Unless they use him off the bench like Lowry. I thought it was stupid at first, but as I've thought about it more and I read a little bit.

Their second unit, when Curry was off the floor, has been Pretty much abysmal since we can't afford, like, they used to be real good. They used to be real good at having the three guys and then having the Livingston and Iggy and David Lee. And they used to be so good at that. And now, as you're paying these guys more, I guess. Like they are really having to scrape by.

And that's kind of what the Suns are going to have to do unless the Wizards keep giving them fucking players. DP is more of a half-court guy, though. He's not going to run a gun. But with the second unit, he doesn't need to. If you have Kaminga and Looney and Who Moses Moody Milwaukee legend Patrick Baldwin Jr., peanut butter and jelly.

Yes, I want to clarify something. The cheese and butter sandwich wasn't even a grilled cheese, it was old cheese and butter. Yeah, cold, yeah. It was fucking like I can still taste it. We had.

The American or slices. Craft singles. Craft singles. Okay. And then.

The next Monday it'd be like Fucking a double decker of bread. Like, my parents were so bad at rationing. It's like you can have eight slices of turkey on Monday. Yeah. And then next next Tuesday.

You're going to eat the butts of the loaf. And then spring cheese pulled out just enough to make up a slice. That's what's happening. How does Chris Paul net you a first and a second? I don't get it.

Uh Yeah.

So good on a team that is not trying. Cool. Yeah, he he's gonna average like twenty five a game. Yeah, it might be the most empty 25 a game, but it doesn't matter. He's gonna average 25 a game.

And Well Relatively. Johnny Davis is going to have a breakout year, and Corey Kispert is going to do something. He showed flashes at the end of the year. I'm actually excited about our young guys getting more run. I'm not gonna lie.

But is there like what's the timetable for Washington? Is there one? Uh one's up first round pick 2030. Then uh how about next year when they take Bronny and then use all that cap space to sign LeBron? Oh, I I put them as number one.

I did this on CBS uh on Sunday. I said I my power rankings For because someone that's happening. Bronnie's gonna supposed to be in the 20s.

Someone's gonna.

Someone's gonna think, you know what, I'm gonna take him 15. And then someone's gonna be like, fuck it, let's just take him six. We're getting LeBron. And it was the Hornets. But then after this trade, now I think the Wizards are at the top of that list.

I don't think. And especially with MJ gone from Charlotte, he doesn't need to go there. Yeah, and now he can finish in Washington like Rogers and Farr both went to the Jets. Yeah. And like Jordan went to the Wizards as well.

Yeah, it'd be the same thing. The worst owner in sports history. Nobody I don't I don't think that happens under the uh previous regime possibly. Not this one. No.

I think Atlanta, anyone in that southeast division. I mean, I think you can see what they're doing. They just don't have as uh many good assets. The dude that's the GM, not Michael Winger, but Will Dawkins is from OKC, and they're just doing it with second-round picks instead of first. They're trying to get as many picks as possible.

Take your back contract to give us a pick. What are the odds? Here's a question. What are the odds that the guy the Bucks draft at 58. Keeping in mind that it's 1237 on the east coast.

and Europe Is awake when he gets picked. What are the odds? Yeah. I mean, if you're on the fringe right now, are you just thinking like? Yeah.

Ah, fuck, I'll just. I'll just wake up and I mean, maybe I'll set my alarm for three o'clock and see what happened. I'll let my agent deal with it. This is too fucking long. It's midnight.

Should we take Chris Livingston? Yeah. We were told not to. What do we do? I mean, if we're the last pick.

Hey, get some trade leverage. There you go. Whoever promised him they were going to take them. Didn't do it, so Let's see. Oh, there's your.

Livingston thing. What if where he wants to go is the box? Sure. All for it. What if the Bucs?

Shames, so he's from Kentucky?

Okay. Do the Bucks have any clutch Players Palette was I don't think they do, but they always have that Schwartz guy. Jason Kidd was represented by Yeah, that was a big thing. Isn't that Giannis' agent too, or was? It's Chris's Chris's I know.

I think that Woach tweet from last night after he declined his option. I think he had his options. Oh, the Bucs do have guys. Guys, they have one. Player who is represented by Rich Paul.

Really? Very simple. Mm-hmm.

Javon Carter. No, guys. S Christmas. Marjan Bo Champ. Wow.

I was like, it's gotta be new blood. I didn't, it's not one of the old guys. Marjam Beau Champ. Also still on the free agent market, Eric Bledsoe. Ooh, he gotta stay there.

He was in a bribing scandal, wasn't he? Yeah, in China. He was? Yes. Did you hear about that?

Him and uh I think Michael Beasley. That he wasn't doing this against the Toronto Raptors. Yeah. The Eurostep Podcast Network. Is this Ty?

It's got to be Ty. It's definitely not me. Wouldn't be over till three.

Some of us have to work in the morning. Then he says, not all of us. Then he says, Chris is Excel, Giannis' octagon. Yeah. Okay.

So, what we did with the client was we told them, no dunks from Giannis. He gives you no dunks. And then we show up, we do the commercial, and we give them one or two dunks. That way, we leave them, and everybody's happy, and they got more than they bargained for. Hey.

But we were analyzing that video or that promo. We thought Yannis was gone after that video, after that promo. No, there was I never thought Matt was leaving. ever except for There was one week. Like the week before he signed his contract, he said he had some interview.

Where he said something really weird. And it was like. Oh fuck. I forgot what he said, but it was like. I think I know what you're talking about.

It was when. 'Cause it was during COVID year, but it everything was just so like Screwed up with timing, but he came to training camp late or something, and he had this big press conference. And everybody's like, So, what are you going to do about your big decision? And he just did not answer anything. It was just like, he might have just been having a bad day.

Yeah, it was the probably the strangest like... Extended interview that Yadis has ever given, and that's saying something 'cause he doesn't do strange interviews at all. But yeah, I remember hearing that, I'm like, What the hell is going on? This is not good vibes at all before your star player makes a huge financial decision that impacts your entire team. Yeah, that was and now like people are already wondering about his next contract, but Oh, Toby, is this real?

But Oh, fuck. You're also getting Patrick Baldwin Jr. Oh.

Billy? Yeah. What the fuck? Yeah. He had such a great opportunity in Golden State.

What is he doing? Mike Dudley is telling you, I did not like Bob Myers' draft last year. Let's go, baby. Oh my my youngest brother. My youngest brother's watching.

He said, It shifted 'cause when you guys got older I got lunchables and hot lunch all the time. I got to eat whatever I wanted. Mm-hmm.

I was going getting the cheese and butter sandwich, and then my next brother would eat like the crumbs from my bag. PBJ. George. You're saying Patrick Baldwin Jr. Toby as UWM's third biggest fan.

Yep. I want you to know how happy I am for you that you're getting an absolute stud. If you can stay healthy. As the uh Wizards biggest bandwagon fan. I want to tell you that uh I'm very happy as well.

It still is one of the prettiest shooting forms I've ever seen. Guys, we got Chris Livingston. We did now. Oh my god, we did. Did we really?

Yep. Ah, yeah. Oh man. Evan Daddy. I don't know.

I just was looking up shams to see if there's any more bullshit. And he's tipping picks. Trace Jackson Davis is going to the Warriors. Oh, no. I was excited that he.

No, he's going to the Warriors. That's all right, though. I'll take PBJ over. Holy shit. I mean.

What did we have to do to convince them? To be literally the last pick in the draft to save us all that money. I guess Rich Paul is another second Bucks player on his payroll. Don't take me. I'm trying to be Mr.

Irrelevant here. Rick Paul is a I mean, we haven't had a good one since Isaiah Thomas, have we? What uh Sam Merrill? I would say Sam that was a that was a bucks pick. What about Costas?

So, what's the deal with Livingston? What's his deal? Uh he was shut down um because of an injury. As per shams as tweets. Hey, wait.

Were there twins that were drafted in the top five? Yes, the Thompson Twins, not the 80s band. The Thompson Twins. Yeah, for you referencing them and Suve Jan. I'm in love with you.

Mm. Chris Livingston. All right, he wanted to come here. What's his bio? Kentucky Now, just completely off the rip, off the dome.

Um CBS, but also me, we have the pro comparison as Hamadou Diallo. Yeah, also Kentucky. A six six with a six eleven and a quarter wingspan. 37 inch vertical. He is powerful and methodical as a driver who initiates contact.

Defensive ability and physicality should allow him to guard multiple positions. Again, off the dome. Weaknesses: not a playmaker, looks for his own shot on drives. And shocker, his three-point shooting needs to improve.

So they have a they're starting to have a type here. Yeah, fits the bucks perfect. Can't it? Plays good defense. But As Ram would say, is he a true hooper?

Well, he doesn't think Chris Middleton is, so. Mm-mm. Wow, that's interesting. Chris Livingston has Sham say, Don't take me. I want to get taken by the Bucks at 50.

You brought this up 20 minutes ago. I have no idea what you're talking about. Yeah. Then the Bucks draft him. Toby, earning your keep, man.

He has an NBA build, but he will need more time to develop. My sources were telling me that he wanted to go to the Bucks at 58. Um Yeah, that should that should uh Placate Bucks Twitter for a little bit because everyone thinks that no one wants to play with Giannis for some reason. Hey, this is a Warriors question for you really quick. What?

Why did they take Dunlevy over Larry Harris? Larry Harris is like seventy. Mm-hmm.

No, he's not. He's Yeah. He was like the GM like twenty years ago for the Bucks. Right? Yeah, he used to be a student up there.

Yeah. He's not 70. He's uh Wikipedia doesn't know when he was born.

So, It was born 1963, age 59 or 60. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What the fuck?

Chris Livingston to the Bucs. Very good. All right, well, which pick are you more excited about? I'm excited about this one just because of the story. Yeah, me too.

I mean I don't I didn't know who either of these names, I'll admit, four hours ago. I don't think many people. I started the podcast. Not knowing who Chris Livingston was. And you left not knowing who Chris lived.

And now I just tweeted: Rich Paul is a hero. Ha ha ha ha ha.

Now you got content. Yeah. Cool skiing. We have, what's his name? Mark Tatum.

Jason Tatum. No, the uh deputy commissioner, the No, Marx is dead. People don't know that. true Please don't. What's Mark doing saying goodnight?

Yeah, he's saying Chris Livingston and Rich Paul choose the Milwaukee Bucks. Speaking about that father or brother or whatever the hell's going on with that trade between the wizards and the sons, should that even be legal, Bart? That shit that went down between them.

Well the moral scenes. Like connections happen and like I think of fantasy like. The trades that I make are usually with the guys I know the best. You know, you make trades. I don't know that that's any like.

John Horse wanted to get up, obviously, in the draft. Couldn't take anyone to do his bidding.

So, John Hammond gave him a pick that Evans Wright doesn't exist yet. Like that, that to me is more tampering than whatever we did for Bogdanovich. Yeah. Well, but that's just kind of how relationships go. I mean The Brewers, you look, David Stearns had a big thing.

With The Rays, like he liked to do small little moves with them. You have their teams that you know the GM well, you know that you work well. that we're not trying to screw each other over too hard.

So that kind of familiarity helps get a job done. as opposed to someone that you hate. And you're trying to get them to do something for you when they don't necessarily need to.

Well, it'd also be one thing if they had to accept that little a haul with uh without the no trade clause, but. Bradley'd be able to choose where he wanted to go. Right. Yeah. Uh tweet here.

Who's got this one? Uh Um oh my gosh shafty bro. Crystal walk away with two young athletic wings. Can't be mad. Chris Livingston was at the draft and just did a uh handshake and a quick little picture.

And now the stage is empty. He was there? Yeah. So to answer your question, Mark, he was awake. He was awake.

There you go. If he was having his agent text people not to draft him, did he just roll in like five minutes ago or was he waiting the whole time? Brian, you know. Was he invited to the green room? I wonder.

And now is he going to be mad? Is he going to be mad that the Bucks trade it up and then get him at 36? Mm. Did he put a buck's hat on? Yeah.

You did? Wow. And plug a cl plut clutch sports hat. Yeah. And all we had to do was wait until 11.51 p.m.

Central Standard. He was wearing a suit that was just all LeBron James's head all the way down. Oh, wow. Should the NBA move to a two-night draft format? No, no, nobody would give a shit about the second round.

They used to have, I don't know how many rounds back in the day. 10? Yeah, Jay Billis wanted to make sure every day, every draft day, to let people know that he was drafted in like the 10th round. It is weird there's only two, but also it's not because. But there's so I don't know there's so many guys that play basketball I know the team.

Now that you get so many players from overseas, you really don't. need that many rounds.

Well, it's just whack though, like you were talking about. Like Trace Jackson Davis was someone that was competing to be the best college basketball player. Gets drafted fifty seventh. Adamas Sanogo was like dominating the NCAA tournament. doesn't get drafted.

Yeah. Just di s it's so different from college to the pros that m more people are going over to Europe to draft players because they're playing more of a pro style. How different do you think this draft would have been? With Bud. Is this an Adrian Griffin-minded draft?

Do you think it's different that way or no? That's your show for the next week. All right. Yeah, you're to know how Chris Livingston fits into Adrian Griffin. No, I'll I'll let win in six handle that, Jordan.

Thank you. Bart, are you going to call up like the position coaches at Kentucky? Try to get an interview and talk about. I'll call Kyle Parry. I'll call.

I don't even know what they're talking about. Don't you worry. When Son Maker got drafted, we did have on his Canadian coach the next day. Oh.

Oh, wow. And I said He 18. Mm-hmm.

It was a birdie question at the time. Yeah, I thought it was always bullshit, but then he sucked and I'm like yeah, maybe Yeah. But never forget that one-half of a game in the playoffs against the Celtics. Oh.

Hey, the raptor series gets some moments. I filled in for Chuck that day. I did the show with Wicked, and it was like a four-hour party. We thought we drafted Giannis again. Yeah.

Giannis was vouching for him. Remember that? Kevin Garnett was vouching for him. Garnett was vouching for him. He was, yeah, Kevin Garnett could probably take back the things that you said about Thought MVP.

Yeah. Yeah, what the fuck was why would you say that? That is just wild. They had him starting over Greg Monroe to start the next season. Which I mean, I know Greg Monroe is, you know, out of the league by now, but I think he turned out to be a better player than Thod was at that time.

Gentlemen, I am going to bid you adieu. I thank you. All for being here. Mm-hmm.

Um Michael Winger is the goat. I am so tired. Rich Paul is the goat. Bridgepaw is the goat. Shit.

Toby, I went to Carlos Place, a casino. A soccer match. And my show. What about Quick Trip? I went to two quick trips today.

Oh, and I pumped out Quick Trip content. Absolutely. What a day. Unbelievable. I love Quick Trip.

And I made about $80 in the process. There it is. I made like no money. Did you get a paid sporanic bobblehead the other night? I did not.

You did that? Oh.

I did go Saturday. If anyone's selling one. Oh, everyone's selling one. Yeah. But be careful and make sure it's not.

Used.

Okay. Yes. What what do you mean by that? Elaborate? Like someone Feed off on it.
