Not much else to say here but BUCKS IN SIX.

We break down the game, the series, the parade, and the ramifications of the championship win for the franchise and the city of Milwaukee.

We had a lot of good topics this week and it was fun to discuss them all.

I kick things off with a discussion on spending extra $$$ for a rare playoff experience for your team.

Ace dives into some Minnesota sporting updates with the Twins and Wild. We talk about the latest update in the MSU Larry Nassar case and also the next Rodgers-GB deadline which comes in two weeks with Packers Training Camp.

I dig into the significance of Game 3, the adjustments made, and the outlook for the Milwaukee Bucks going forward in the series. Ace and I also talk about how the Bucks and the national media flipped the script from the mass coverage of CP3 and the Suns.

We briefly discuss the outrageous comment of Stephen A. Smith this last week, and the McGregor-Poirier Trilogy fight.

Ace gets sweet revenge by giving me 6 Packer players throughout time and making me pick 3 of them. PAINFUL

COTW is Giannis' reaction to a question about tying or breaking Michael Jordan's record for 4 straight 40-point performances in the Finals.

Finally, we chat about the MLB All-Star Week and the highlights as well as some opportunities that were missed by the League.

This week we have a PACKED show! 

I start it off with my Random Rant covering the overuse of internal messaging such as Teams & Slack.

We talk about Game 1 of the Finals between the Bucks and Suns and cover some of the reactions and thoughts going forward. Ace talks a bit about the TWolves and also MNUFC.

In the realm of drug testing and sports, both Sha'Carri Richardson and Josh Gordon made headlines this week.

We try a new segment with Either/Or which has one of us selecting one player or another over the course of time for our favorite franchises.

The COTW this week is a snippet of Aaron Rodgers on the course getting questions about the upcoming NFL Season.

Finally, we discuss the big topic of the NCAA NIL ruling and the ramifications for schools, teams, and individual players now and for years to come.

This week Ace & I recap what we've been up to the last week before I dive into my Random Rant.

My topic for this episode is staffing issues across the country. It's been a month of freedom in most states, and I don't think that I've had more than a handful of positive dining experiences since the mask mandate has expired in Madison. Seems it's a thing in a lot of US cities from what I've experienced and heard :(

I talk a bit about Giannis' injury and how the Bucks fared in Game 4 and also the Brewers quietly putting together an 8-game winning streak. Ace covers a bit of MNUFC and Timberwolves talk before we get into the meat of the show.

COTW: MNUFC goal with a FULL STADIUM :)

We dig into the extent of Giannis' hyperextended knee and the ramifications for the team going forward in the series. We also discuss how injuries are running rampant in the NBA postseason thus far.

Our Tee-Off topic is noting all of the "modern" ex-NBA players now working as head coaches in the NBA currently. It's actually a pretty long list and Ace nails down the archetype for the person as well.

This week we break into the show discussing our own personal updates from the previous week before getting into the meat of the episode.

My random rant covers the monster phenomenon that is TikTok and the way it has taken over our lives.

Ace discusses the shooting of Vikings draft pick, Twyman which took place earlier in the week, and the ramifications of that.

I dive into the end of the Bucks/Nets series, and the outlook on the upcoming series against the Hawks.

We get into the upcoming MLB All-star weekend and why it's not going to do anything to bring baseball back into the forefront of American sports. The lack of attention to drawing in the new generation is a big bullet point of this discussion.

Finally, we talk about how the extended absence of Aaron Rodgers is really starting to get fans and others truly worked up. The yellow journalism period has mostly ended and now people are really getting into the contract details and other specifics of Rodgers possibly opting out, getting traded or retiring before the 2021 NFL season begins.

Johnny was enticed to rant about wedding toasts as Ace has an upcoming Best Man speech to prepare for. Johnny's given one before and so we discussed our preferences and what makes a kick ass speech! Keep it genuine and on point.

Regional Roundup of course was Bucks heavy talk recapping game 5 woes and Kevin Durant's unbelievable performance putting the Nets on his back. We got into football talk after as former Packers great, Charles Woodson, will now be on the NFL Fox Sunday Kickoff and the Vikings bolstered their defensive line with Danielle Hunter and Sheldon Richardson both remaining on the team.

Clip of the week is always a must watch or listen and this time Charles Barkley didn't disappoint as we continue our pitching scandal from last week. Barkley roasts MLB for a weak punishment for pitchers using illegal substances on the ball.

Tee off Topic centered around the Bucks game 6 outlook and let's not forget Johnny will be in attendance for it! We'll recap the emotions, etc in next weeks episode.

Finally, what was present more in Season 1 we end with Ace's Quick 6 as we go ahead to ahead selecting between 6 of the 7 NBA teams left who we think will win the NBA title.

Enjoy and have a safe weekend.

In our show this week, we touch on the usual suspects, but also take some time to get nostalgic about some of the bigger moments we've experienced over the years involving sports.

I begin the show with my experience at the Brewer game last weekend, but more specifically the MLB Ballpark App and how handy it was for getting & scanning tickets and also navigating the stadium after a few cold ones :)

We dig into the rough start for the Bucks against the Nets as Milwaukee looks to turn the corner on the series with the next 2 games coming home. Brewers go 9-1 in their last 10 and we poke fun at the Twins a bit as well.

The Clip of the Week is a snippet of an interview with Josh Donaldson and his thoughts on MLB pitchers cheating with using substances to increase RPMs when on the mound. He claims this is going to be akin to the Steroids era if left unchecked.

Finally, we wrap up the show looking back at young Ace & Johnny and some influential moments we've shared through the years in the world of sports as both player and spectator.

This week we give you a double dosage of the show as we cover local topics and then include our conversation with Ty & Kris from the Everything Goez Podcast as well.

For the main show, I go over my Random Rant this week which is Adult Hangovers (scary... I know). I also discuss the Bucks busting out the broom and sweeping Miami and we take a look to the series ahead against Brooklyn and the 3-headed monster that is the Nets. Ace gives us the low-down on the Twins and Wild and how things have unfolded for them in the last week. Spoiler alert: it ain't pretty. Finally, we listen to the Clip of the Week featuring Giannis' on-court post-game interview over the weekend and segue into our discussion with T&K which ended up covering literally every sport aside from cricket and volleyball it seems.

Enjoy!!
