Monday, September 28, 2026 (Hour 3)

Tap in.

The tap in with Jazz Tyler Returns on the award-winning 1017 The Truth, 1017 The Truth YouTube channel, and 1017thetruth.com.

Milwaukee, are your finances low?

Is your mindset off track or are you simply ready to get into real estate?

Well, mark your calendars and don't be late.

Two and two.

I'm on the journey with Coach Erica Saturday, October 3rd and Saturday, October 17th from 11 a.m.

to noon on one-on-one 7th Truth.

It's all about mindset, money, and real estate helping you take the next step toward building a better future as you grow, Jazz Tiger.

You are officially tapped in.

Um, if you are just not joining us, we've been talking about the Milwaukee Bucks.

We've been talking about economic impact.

Uh, we've been talking about community outreach.

Now we're going to get into some stats.

Um, shout out to the chat.

Let's see.

Let's tap in.

Uh, Marty says he's going, going to a lot of games this year.

Hey, Marty, listen, if you got the, uh, what is it?

You, you got the tickets, the seasonal tickets.

Marty, plug your girl.

Talk to me.

Talk to me nice.

Um, Marty also said that Miles Turner was a snitch and I think he's talking about the podcast.

So earlier during media day, uh, a journalist asked him about his comments that he made pertaining to players not, um, come into, uh, meetings on time and all of that and all of that.

You know, I don't.

I don't like to bash people or nothing like that.

But facts are facts.

So let's listen to the clip and you be the judge, truth nation.

Beach, what you got for me?

It depends on the coach.

So Dr. Rivers, he didn't find anybody ever.

So guys were late all the time.

Guys were showing up to film whenever they want to show up.

Guys were missing meetings.

Like it was one of the crazy things I personally experienced.

But any other team I've been on.

Guys got fine.

And there was a sense of order and a sense of understanding.

So yeah, you're late to the plane.

Fine.

You're late to treatment.

Fine.

You're late to film.

Fine.

Me.

Ain't nobody come to see you, Otis.

Listen, in all fairness, I actually, I understand what he's saying, but I don't know if I would have said that publicly.

Yeah, that's basically saying there ain't no accountability.

Yeah.

I wouldn't end at the same time.

I guess it's difficult because when you go back in history, this is one of those things where a lot of players were scrutinized for this.

And obviously, we know if you ain't putting up certain points, if you ain't the face, you know, there's leeway to certain things.

But again, to a certain extent, I understand what he's saying about structure, but that does not mean he should have said it publicly.

Just my personal opinion I wouldn't have said it That way because even if he hadn't said any names other than dr. Rivers whoever he's talking about no But I can imagine that would you know that will have some type of internal backlash because first and foremost if I'm a coach and you're my player then It's your responsibility to have these conversations with me and if you had had these conversations with me and nothing was done about it

Then you either have to check it up or you just keep going up the ladder.

But when you go publicly to, uh, you know, denounce your coach by saying that he pretty much don't have any structure.

And we're talking about not just any coach, we're talking about Doc Rivers.

He put some, some time in, right?

Then I can, um, I can imagine that's going to be, uh, there's going to be some type of backlash.

Uh, Marty also says TJ for it was a man go bucks go.

I'm listening.

I'm so excited about TJ Ford being a part of the Bucs coaching staff because I really, really, really want us to bring that feeling back, right?

I want us to bring that feeling back.

I want us to get to a point.

Yes, Yannis did that to a certain degree.

Yannis did that.

I'm not sure if it was the same as when Ray Allen and them was here, but obviously we loved him.

We loved him dearly.

But there was a time where it was, it was just different, man.

And Darby Hem and TJ Ford were a part of that.

And I truly hope they assist this team with bringing that culture back.

Marty, decided to call in.

What's up, Marty?

I

hit the dead as always.

I see you.

I see you.

You know, I got you on them, on them bucks with all the brunjays, all them good guys coming to town.

But yeah, that mile turning man, he, he, he, he's specific said out his mouth.

Yannis was late to, to, to, to the, to talk about the jet at the wait, a hour or so, because the news reporters, uh, you know, they was putting them out there.

And I'm like, bro, is you snitching on our star, man?

You know, you just, you didn't, like you said, you, you, you, you gotta, you gotta watch how you talk, man.

Don't be snitching on people.

That's, that's, that's not.

That's crazy.

That's not good

at all.

I agree.

I ain't got a whole football team now.

You don't know what this man got to do to get ready.

Yeah, this man, this man, he contributed millions of study, contributed millions.

Him and his wife always giving out free diapers and wipes and everything for the community.

You just came from Indiana.

Don't come in that bad mouth of our guy that brought us a chip.

We'll let him get away with a whole lot before we let you get away with anything, bro.

Because he didn't put the work in it.

You know, he didn't put the work in it.

And he better not mess up them young boys down there because he's going to get his snitches scanned and put them all up out of this city.

Anybody trying to hear that?

I know that's why.

I'm going to hook you up, baby.

I'm going to make sure you do go to some good things.

I got you.

Thank you, Marty.

Thank you so much for tapping me.

All

right.

Love

y'all.

Love y'all.

All right.

All right.

Yeah, I don't know if I I agree with what miles did, you know, I don't know if I would have wouldn't about it that way You can you you are entitled to feel how you feel.

I've been in positions where I didn't like certain things And I've wasted and you know, I've been told you know, hey First of

all,

I never went to nobody go

When he

leaves, I'll be talking again.

I don't know why you come down here messing with this man.

Yeah, he should have been sad.

He should have said it with his chest.

Say it with his, before the ship go down, like,

should have said it early in the season.

Y'all didn't say you want some too, oh man.

No, I don't know why you come down here messing with this man.

We would

have been

doing a game eight that they've missed in practice and all that later games.

Yeah.

Yeah, honestly, you know It's one thing to have again to have a private conversation and say, you know, whatever you need to say But I think any player knows That you can't it's certain stuff that you just can't do like you you got to put the work in man You got to put the work in and you just should not say that publicly because it's gonna make you look bitter

It's gonna make you look better.

It's gonna make you look like you're not a part of the team.

Um, especially it is just not smart.

Like, who's his PR person?

It's not smart because Yannis has so many fans.

And again, this isn't an attack on him personally.

I'm just saying that, um, I don't think that that was the right thing to do.

And I will hope that, um, you know, a lot of the new players, like Marty says, uh, would not follow suit.

So, um,

Let's jump into some stats, you know, and a little bit of the front office and Taylor Jink is so.

John horse is the general manager earlier.

We were talking about positions That means roster strategy player transaction and personal decisions fall within the basketball operations.

That's what he's over He's owner his ownership sets broader direction.

So the coaching staff Manages development and on-court execution the business operation is another part of the organization entirely so

When it comes to Taylor Jenkins Taylor Jenkins is the head coach for this new chapter a new coach in here It's more than a playbook.

He has to establish expectations our rotations communication and a culture of Accountability so listen Based off of what we've seen today Again, we got to see the action, you know with the words because we've been

promised a lot.

I think we got PTSD when it comes to coaches for the Milwaukee Bucks because we didn't we'd have been through quite a few and I get it.

You got to find what fits so that we can get to where we need to go.

He a good coach

though.

Yeah, but I was going to say to that.

Almost kind of like when Bud came in.

Yeah,

it's kind of sort of the same situation.

Yeah, and he genuinely cares.

Like you can tell if you was in a room today, you can feel it like he genuinely cares and he's invested in.

I like the fact that he came from where he came from because he understands not just, you know, how to be a great coach, but the dynamics surrounding the type of city that he's coaching.

So.

What do you what does your take outside of him being a great coach?

Or why do you feel he's a great coach Meach?

I mean based on what he did with the Memphis Grizzly,

you

know, they small market team, you know Yeah, really had no no star drawn people there.

He kind of developed a couple young players into stars

Do you feel that so you have a personal connection with Memphis?

Do you feel that?

Memphis in Milwaukee is similar in a sense

Yeah in the market

In the market type, you know, the city.

What about the culture?

Similar cities.

The market, far as like, you know, just not having too much, too many corporations, too much impact of them winning, of the Grizzlies winning on the Memphis is big compared to Milwaukee.

Yeah.

That's why I think he's going to do good here.

Because I think that, you know, the culture may be a little different, but there is some similarities when it comes to Memphis and Milwaukee.

And I think that he understands that.

I think because he was there.

And he understands that type of city.

He understands, you know, he's going to have a easier time understanding Milwaukee and adjusting to Milwaukee.

And he has, you know, an extensive amount of experience working with younger players.

So a lot of people are talking about that.

The roster is younger and this and that.

Well, guess what?

Do you all want a younger roster or a roster that's, you know, been injured 30,000 times who needs don't work properly?

but they been here for a while.

Which one do you want?

You can't have both.

We gotta pick one or the other, right?

The difference is with the younger roster, you have the opportunity to train them.

They got the energy, they got the body, right?

They hungry, they feel like they have something to prove.

So you have more wiggle room to kind of mold them into being what you want them to be.

Does that come with a risk or an expense?

Yes, it does.

But at the end of the day, that's what you got.

Marty says, Spurs, oh, coach Papa, bitch, Mary, Bucks, oh, coach, ex-wife.

Whoa.

That is messy.

I did not know that.

We have to look that up.

Me.

That's some tea.

That is some tea.

Spurs, oh, coach Papa, bitch, Mary, the Bucks, oh, coach, ex-wife.

We messy, messy, messy.

We gotta go to break.

Me's gonna take us to break when we come back.

Let's talk about, uh, some stats, right?

We're gonna talk about, uh, some real stats.

Going to get into it.

Shout out to the person who sent me these flowers today.

I wasn't gonna say anything, but they are so beautiful now Listen, um, I love some flowers and yellow is my favorite color and These are some yellow roses

And I think white orchards and some sunflowers and they are so beautiful.

And I normally don't I don't like flowers.

I'm gonna be honest because it ain't that I don't like them is just that they die.

So I'm not really, you know, into the flowers, a flower thing.

But when I get them, I do appreciate them and I do like them.

So shout out to the person who sent these man.

That was a surprise.

I've actually been getting flowers for like the past month.

I guess it's been cracking.

You know, it's been cracking.

Yeah.

If you are just not joining us, we're talking about the Marquis Bucks.

We're going to stat, right?

So let's go on to stats.

I got my pick.

I say that I got high hopes in Ryan Rollins.

I really, really do.

I see the dog in him.

I see the dog in him.

I see based off what I heard today, you know, he said that he has something to prove, not to everybody or anybody but himself.

And a person like that is a person who is determined, who is hungry.

And that matched with the work that he has done in this community.

I truly, truly believe that he is going to do well.

Well, that's my hopes.

I hope that he is going to.

Do well shout out to the chat Virgil site says what kind of cancer are you in remission with so in 2017 my aunt my favorite aunt Well, I don't like saying that cuz I love my NTVQ too, but I say my favorite auntie that she passed from pancreatic cancer Two weeks prior two weeks after finding out in a year later

And that's when I had just had my youngest daughter, who is nine.

A year later, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

So I went to my OB for a regular routine checkup.

He felt some lumps in my breast on the left side.

I was only 30 years old and I do have a history of cancer.

So my grandmother, my paternal grandmother,

had breast cancer.

My paternal sister had breast cancer.

My paternal uncle or auntie had cancer as well.

So it does one of my family.

And I end up going to get ultrasound and a mammogram.

And they found it, but they found it in my right breast, which was by the grace of God, I am a woman who goes to the doctor.

Thank God I did.

But I remember sitting in that waiting room in this older Caucasian lady walked up to me.

And I didn't even know the results yet, but she just touched my knee and said, baby, it's going to be okay.

But she said it's so kind of like she knew already, like it was like an angel or something.

And I walked in there and that doctor looked at the ultrasound and seen them calcifications and was like, this is so concerning.

And it was just, it was a lot.

And at that time I was working for the office of the president for Coles Corporation.

I had.

My daughter was only two months old Cali was on no, no, I'm sorry.

She was a year and two months old So I had a one-year-old and my other two children were Nine and ten and I was going through a divorce at the same time that I had filed So yeah, imagine that imagine going through a divorce going through being diagnosed with cancer And then had to go through six surgeries

So when I was diagnosed I didn't cry initially took me like a year just pushed through it had the surgery So they removed my right breast and put an implant in my body rejected it So I had to go back.

This was October of 2018.

I had to go back in December and have that implant taken out because My body rejected it and caused an infection

in my bloodstream, which you can die from.

So I had to go and get that taken out.

Um, so I walked around six months without a breast with just one breast.

Yep.

And it took a toll afterwards.

It took a toll on my mental health.

Um, but during that process, I was supposed to be on bed rest for two months, eight weeks.

And, um, because I was going through the divorce and my ex-husband left that I asked him to leave.

because he was, you know, cheated.

He had a history of infidelity.

And he didn't help with anything.

So what did jazz do?

Am I going to stay in the bed for eight weeks?

I'm sorry for, yeah, for eight weeks.

Am I going to stay in the bed for two months?

Or am I going to get up to make sure me and my kids got somewhere to live, a car to drive and food to eat?

And what I did was two weeks.

with this infection, with drains hanging out the side of both of my breasts.

I don't know if y'all know what drains look like, but it's like these squeeze pumps with clear tubes, and I had two on each side.

And I couldn't raise my arms up above probably my shoulder.

I couldn't even reach them to my shoulders.

And I went to work.

All the women causes is a witness.

My family is a witness.

I went to work.

I worked two jobs, actually.

work two jobs, two weeks after having a major surgery.

So when we talk about, I don't look like what I've been through, I don't.

So oftentimes, you know, when I say I'm sick or I have health issues, which I'm battling now, people tend to say, she all right, you know, I just seen her on the radio, I just diss her that, you know, that's because I have to have a family to take care of.

But most importantly, if I have breath in my body,

That means that I have another day to fight.

And I'm a tough cookie.

I've been through a lot.

But one thing about that health situation is scary, you know?

You don't know if you're gonna live or die.

And you have people who look at you and assume that everything is okay because you pushed through it or you smiled through it.

But one thing I learned from that situation was who supported me?

I also learned that

God always has to let us say so.

And it was a testament to my strength.

Like, I don't like saying a strong black woman because that's a stigma, a stereotype, but I am a black woman who is strong.

I am somebody who has to face adversity that I don't think a lot of people that judge me or feel however they feel, you know, they say whatever however they feel about my personality.

It's because I've been through a lot, but one thing's for sure two things for certain I always find a way to push through and Going through that, you know, that's a lot for a 30 year old woman That is a lot because they tell you that you're not supposed to get a mammogram until you're 40 They won't even give you one unless you have a history of it or some type of signs But I'm just again grateful that they caught it in time I'm grateful for

the support team that I do have in next month and three days marks eight years of me being cancer-free.

And I will continue to be an advocate for health, especially mental health, because I think that took a toll on me immensely more than physically.

And that's the part that we're going to talk about at the Pink and Health Wellness in November.

I will be on that panel discussion.

But yeah, we're gonna talk about that.

Um and see here, uh, Marty says, uh, won't he do it?

Absolutely.

He said, uh, your belief system is strong.

That's what, that's what kept me, Marty.

I'm not going to lie to you.

That right there is what kept me.

That's why I always say when people mistreat me, I really hope and I want.

First thing I say is I pray that God have mercy on their soul.

And I mean that genuinely all jokes aside.

Because my anointing and the love God had for me is different baby and not in peace seeing people life turning to shambles for even speaking bad about me I don't have nothing to do with it.

I'm not a malicious person That's not how you made me but These silent battles I have fought throughout my whole life is why God favors me and You got to be careful how you talk about people how you treat people because you can think you got earthly power, but baby that spiritual power is something different

I promise you it is.

Have you walking around here missing teeth?

Have you put your mouth on me?

You might miss your teeth might be gone.

Your life might fall apart, right?

Might have to go through some challenges and I'm not saying it to be spiteful, but I'm saying I put work in.

I put it in real work to be the woman I am today, to be a soldier of the most high.

I don't think, you know, he take, I don't think the most high takes that lightly, shall I say.

We gotta go to break.

Meach.

Brother Z, what up CC?

She girl Jazz Tyler, do not touch that down, 1017th of

Truth.

Tap in.

The tap in with Jazz Tyler Returns on the award-winning 1017th Truth, 1017th Truth YouTube channel and 1017thTruth.com.

1017th Truth is your girl, Jazz Tyler.

We are live and direct.

You are officially tapped into the award-winning 1017th Truth.

At 642 I'm giving away some tickets to see Bryson tiller tomorrow one lucky winner We'll get a pair of tickets to see Bryson tiller come kick it with the true film It's going down on summer fest grounds.

I like Bryson tiller.

I'm excited.

I actually I've been a fan of his for a long time.

So I'm excited to see what uh, what he's gonna do.

So, uh Before we went to break we were talking about my journey But I want to get back into these stats

Right, because numbers don't lie.

Numbers don't lie.

No matter how we feel, numbers don't lie.

So let's get to it.

So want to talk about some of the players on the books, their stats.

Mind you, these are prior season averages.

It's not a prediction of this up and coming season.

So we talk about Tyler Heroe.

20.5 points per game, 4.8 rebounds.

and 4.1 assists, shooting at a 37.8% from the three points.

Ryan Rollins, 17.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and shooting from the three at a 40.6%.

Kevin Porter-Julier, 17.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 7.4 rebounds,

4 assists plus 2.2 steals.

Jamie Jock-Quest, Jr.

15.5 points, 5 rebounds and 4.7 assists.

Kyle Kuzma, 13 points and 4.5 rebounds.

Meach favorite player, Miles Turner, 18.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.6 blocks.

Kellell where 11.1 points and nine rebounds with 39.5% three-point shooting and AJ Green 10.4 points 41.9% from the three so We talk about Tyler hero, right?

Obviously he's becoming the face of the franchise Tyler heroes Tyler hero went to Whitney High School That's where he graduated from

He's a former NBA six man of the year in the All-Star.

This is a player returning to the Milwaukee area as an established NBA player, right?

Ryan Rollins.

That's my pick.

Again.

He's good.

He's straight.

I like Ryan Rollins.

That's the first time like seeing him talk?

That's my first time seeing him in person.

Like just.

Because it's different when you see him talk on TV versus talking in person.

And I feel like he has adapted to the city well, just by being himself.

This is demeanor after trading.

Yannis is what we looking for here.

Yeah.

And that he, you know, I like, uh, I like the dog in him.

I like the fact that he's not eager to prove anything to anybody but himself.

Those are the type of players we need because that means that he's always going to challenge himself.

He's always going to be in competition with himself.

He's not worried about, you know, what everybody else is doing.

Obviously, to a certain degree, he has to because they have to work together as a team.

But ultimately, um, like I said, the comments he made today, it to me, it just seemed like Rollins is ready to get down to business.

Like he wasn't really.

Like they was asking him questions and he was answering it, but it's like listen Whatever y'all talking about I'm gonna answer it, but I'm just ready to get down to the business I'm ready to dog walk some people And yeah, I think for me that's my pick for the upcoming buck season Ryan Riles I'm eager to see how you know how well he's going to play with Tyler I'm eager to see

If Kevin turnover Porter as me call him has done some work And Braden Burris, you know, I watched him grow from when I was working for the Allen Iverson classic and he was a part of that and His senior year of high school and to see where he is now I'm eager to see you know, what he's going to do as well.

So this is going to again, this is going to be an interesting

Interesting year because I think a lot of people are counting them out.

But as someone who has always been considered as the underdog, you know, I'm excited about the new team.

I'm excited about the coach, the new coach.

I'm excited that they have TJ Ford in collaboration with Darwin Helm, who both come from a very prominent time.

As former players in the Milwaukee Bucks.

And a lot of today's media day was about the culture and identity.

And I think that Darbyn Ham and TJ4 are going to be very instrumental when it comes to the influence they have on this new roster as it pertains to the culture of not just the Bucks, but the city of Milwaukee.

They come from a time where a lot of us, especially my generation, was impacted a lot.

And, you know, I think that we can get that feeling back.

Think we can get that feeling back I think is I think it's possible Mitch.

I think it is possible.

So Again, we're talking about Staff and coach Taylor Jenkins is the head coach The announced group Includes announced coaching group or coaching staff Includes Darwin Hill Pat Street Andrews

Brad Jones, Johnny Carpenter, TJ Ford, Skyler Rimmer, Isaiah Wilkins, and other people again.

As I've stated before, I'm truly excited about TJ Ford joining.

I'm eager to see how this is going to play out.

I think that that was a smart move.

So again, two names.

Two names, longtime fans will recognize again is Darby Helm and TJ Ford.

So Helm was a part of the 2021 championship coaching staff and later coach Ford, the Los Angeles Lakers and Ford was Milwaukee's eighth overall selection in the 2003 draft and now returns in the coaching capacity.

So again, I love this lesson here.

Career and sports can evolve, right?

And that's kind of what we were talking about earlier when it comes to the parents, when it comes to the AAU teams, all of the above.

There are so many different, so many different roles that our youth can play or have when it comes to this industry, in this arena, other than, you know, making it.

A lot of people is not going to make it.

Everybody can't go.

So in the event your child does not make it, right?

And I'm saying it because everybody got an AAU team.

Everybody has an AU team.

But how many of these players, how many parents are actually coaching their players, their students, their children, their teammates, right?

I'm sorry, their teams to be owners, to be investors, to be coaches, to be rich, poor agents, to be physical therapists, right?

Everybody can't be an NBA player.

Have to figure out other ways.

to make some money when it comes to basketball or to be successful.

We got a caller on the line.

Coley, are you there?

Yes, I am.

I'm just calling to give you a little info about the collective bargaining agreement between the owners and the players.

Next year, the Baseball Union and the owners association are going to renegotiate their contracts.

And what you are seeing is I believe the owners are going to

try to get rid of some of these guaranteed contracts.

Now, from my knowledge, baseball and basketball are the only guaranteed contracts.

That means when you sign your contract is guaranteed, no matter what.

And I think what the owners are going to end up trying to do is limit that a little bit.

And I think you're going to see a strike first in baseball, then in basketball.

I believe the collective bargaining agreement in football expires in like 2028 or 2029.

And what you're seeing is once players get their contract, it's almost always guaranteed.

And so what the owners are going to try to do, they're going to try to limit the players from having that, you know, having just the contract guarantee unless it's wind into the contract.

Like if you look at Deshaun Washington's contract, he was guaranteed He signed for like 200 some million 200 million was guaranteed no matter what and I think what's gonna happen is you're gonna see the collective bargaining agreement change and players are not going to be able to You know just say hey, I'm heard or I don't feel like praying and I think that I think we're about to go through a

a reset in the, um, the conference are going to change a little bit.

Now, do I agree with it?

Some way.

Now,

what do you feel about this trend case?

The Gary Trent investigation or his contract?

What are they trying to take it back?

Um, so apparently he only grossed or he only averaged 8.1.

Points a game and they offered him a 90 million.

I'm 64 million contract where you're guaranteed contract that was signed in July

Just what's gonna change there?

I think the owner is gonna try to change the guarantee part now unless you sign your contract with a guarantee and I'm a refer to some like people know like Russell Wilson the shine Watson they signed guarantee contracts

But they eventually got ways.

Now in Russell's case, he's in the Broncos on a hook for like 200 million.

I think that's what the owners are going to try.

They're going to say, look, he didn't, we don't feel he'd leave, you know, have, you know, having this part in their contract.

So we want to waive them.

And the Broncos on a hook now for like,

200 some million for Russell Wilson Even though he he he did another all he did was sign a contract But I think what they they're gonna end up wanting and like I said baseball is about to go first next year We may not have baseball their collective bargaining agreement ends after this year.

I Think basketball is coming up.

I think the players agreement between football comes up maybe

2028 2029 and I'm I'm I'm willing to bet the owners are gonna say look I Can't just give you 200 milk guarantee.

I can't do that.

You have to be out for me

Yeah,

now I get it.

I get it.

We're looking at the Packers suck and they they sign on a young boy to a contract So I mean but you you're about this.

I think it's gonna get reset

I think the contract situations are going to get reset.

That's my opinion.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, that's that's interesting.

That's interesting primarily because just like Coley said, I agree.

I agree that I understand.

But at the same time, yeah, we got to we got to pay attention to that a little bit more true nation.

Truth nation.

Truth nation.

Thank you so much for tapping in with your girl.

Listen, I'll leave you today with this.

Let's make sure a couple of things.

Let's make sure we understand how our city is being ran.

When we look at organizations,

Let's not just look at the entertainment portion, but how they impact us directly and also how we can support them.

You know, let's make sure we are putting our health first physical and mental spiritual as well.

And, you know, I've been going through this thing where I've been understanding people a little bit more.

And because of this, I'm learning to give people grace because.

No, I'm not perfect.

Nobody's perfect.

But at the same time, you know, everybody is is not you.

Some people, you know, did not grow up the way you grew up.

They don't have the same characteristics.

They don't believe in the same thing.

And you have to remind yourself that when you are dealing with people that you cannot expect you from you.

So as we move into this week, let it be productive.

All right.

Let it be meaningful.

Make it count.

And one thing's for show, two things for certain.

If you not here tomorrow at 4 p.m., I'll tap down with your girl Jazz Tyler and Digi Meach.

I don't know what you're doing.

I don't know what you're doing.

Truth Nation is your favorite host.

Hey, it's time for me to go home and lay down.

All right, Milwaukee.

That's the Milwaukee Bucks in the month move out the money.

So I was explaining before we went to break Earlier, we had the opportunity to attend media day for the Milwaukee Bucks and one of the things that I thought about after we left was that a There's a huge economic impact that this organization has on the city B when it comes to

parenting, our youth in sports.

A lot of times we are gearing up our youth and our children to make it to the NBA or WNBA without properly providing them with information outside of what it means just to be a player.

There are so many different, you know, positions in these organizations, right?

You have the front office positions, you have ownership positions, you have shareholders, you have

agents, all of the above.

And I feel like we need to take an opportunity to break down what this looks like as far as how it impacts us, who's all a part of this organization.

And then maybe that can open up more dialogue as it pertains to how we can better partner with large organizations in this city to assist with economic development to ensure that those who are surrounding.

you know, the arena in this organization are included as well.

So we're going to talk about who owns the bucks, who runs the business, who helped pay for the arena.

How does the city benefit?

And if you can walk a few blocks from a world-class entertainment district to a neighborhood with public housing, what does shared prosperity actually looks like?

So I want to make this clear.

for the callers, 833-212-1017, you can call in and chime in at any time, but please understand that this is not about bashing this organization, it's about understanding what a major Milwaukee institution can accomplish with the city that supports it, right?

I want the bucks to hear this conversation and know that we are serious about partnerships, opportunity, and ask good questions.

And when I say we, I mean the people, right?

We know that there is many of...

you know, giveaways and the foundation helps and all of that.

But today they talked a lot about culture and identity.

And I couldn't help but think when I was a child, right?

Or when I was in high school and you had players like Ray Allen and Big Dog Robinson and Tim Thomas and Sam Cassell and TJ Ford and Darwin Ham and like just so many different people, right?

And when you think about that era of the books, you think about.

Culture you think about identity you think about the fans the city right there was a point of time when a lot of The Bucks player were very interactive with the city not just with the foundation but outside of that right and The reason why I'm bringing that up is because obviously We know that Milwaukee has not been the safest place

It is a place that is not favored by some athletes due to it closing early and you know, it's simply not being a huge city such as a Miami or a Los Angeles, right?

Which is completely understandable.

So as we discuss this and break these things down and we bring more attention to who's actually all involved with this organization, I want the community to understand that we have to do better, right?

We can support our teams, we can be fans, but we have to make the city safe.

And I'm talking about the people that's out here acting a fool.

We have to make the city pleasurable so that some of our athletes and some of the people that we cherish actually feel safe coming outside of downtown, right?

That is my cause of action for us.

We have that responsibility again.

A lot of...

The youth, a lot of the young people were either not born or they were too, uh, too little to understand what I'm talking about, which is why I'm talking about it so that they can begin to understand, right?

Um, you know, so yeah, that's my call to action for today.

Is that us as a community, we have to do better with a couple of things.

A.

For the coaches, the parents who are into sports, please make sure that we are assisting our youth with becoming more familiar with other jobs, right?

Not everybody is going to make it to the NBA or WNBA.

I am someone who played basketball.

My children's dad played basketball.

My two oldest children played basketball.

I know what it means to be a you mom.

I know what it means to get up and travel, to invest, to all of those things, right?

It's a, it's a lifestyle.

And, you know, you have to be realistic about, uh, these approaches when you are pushing your youth or your child into sports, not everybody is going to make it.

And here we sitting at media day today and see all of these different people, right?

The people that own this company are billionaires.

They're not.

Suiting up to get on the floor.

They probably don't even know how to dribble a basketball Yet they are billionaires and they hold stakes into this organization and then the second call of action is You know, let's get the city back on track to where we can you know make our

guests, right?

The people who are not from here, who come to be a part of this city, a part of this culture, make them feel more comfortable.

Shout out to my brother, Ray Nitty, before he left.

We was talking about that, right?

There was a time where, man, we would pull up to the club with Brandon Jennings, Charlie Bale, Marquise Daniels.

I didn't hear stories about, I wasn't old enough to party with Big Dog, but I know Big Dog was on burly somewhere.

I know he was in a hood.

So we're partying with the people.

Um, so we just want to get the city back to that, right?

And then also to, you know, um, a lot of people are a little biased about the new roster.

They don't have a lot of faith, which is, you know, I can't understand to a certain degree, uh, but as someone who has always been the underdog, I think that we should really, really pump our brakes.

before judging this team too early.

I think we should give them a chance.

I think this is a fresh start.

I think that we need to look at it from a different lens and figure out a way how we can also impact and assist with impacting the culture and the influence that they have.

So first up, I think Meach got a clip for us from the media day today.

I want y'all to take a listen to it.

Meach.

What

you got for me?

I mean,

I would say...

We're always going to be aware of what's going on in the world around us.

We're not just basketball coaches and basketball players.

And as we've gotten into building our relationship together and understanding what the Bucks are going to stand for and how we're going to support, we're always going to support our guys and their interests and talk about things that matter to them.

And that's the case for everyone in our organization.

So I can't predict what the future holds for us, but we're always going to be intentional when it comes to matters that go beyond these walls to make sure we're lined in and understanding what we do support.

I would just add too, I think what we stood on more than anything is being part of our community.

I think, well, whatever that looks like to give back to our community, support our community, initiatives that matter, Taylor's big on that, his wife's big on that, my wife and I are an ownership group.

We care a lot about that.

So I think even over the politics of things, I think it's about giving back to the community that supports us.

Going to the back left

of

camp.

Thank you so much, Meach.

So if you are just now tuning in today, Meach and I had the opportunity to join.

media day at the Bucs practice facility.

And we are talking about a multitude of things.

But as we sat down there, I had some questions, a few questions prepared.

And I thought about it, right?

I'm listening to everybody else ask questions.

I'm listening to how the players respond.

I'm listening to how the coaches respond.

And I couldn't help but think that we are in a million dollar institute in the middle of the heart of downtown.

You have hillside less than a mile away.

You have the rescue mission less than a mile away.

You have homeless shelters, twerk and believe all of these, you know, underserved communities surrounding this facility.

And when you listen to the coaches, when you listen to some of the players today, specifically the clip that just played to me, in all honesty, what I gather from it is that, yes, they are new here, some of them.

And they are really trying to understand the culture.

They are really trying to rebrand the identity.

They want to be more included.

One of the questions that I did have.

was pertaining to Darvin Hill and TJ Ford coming on as assistant coaches.

And if they have any, you know, any means to take their expertise and push it towards the new team, primarily because they come from such a prominent time.

When they were playing for the Bucs, that goes back to the culture that I was just talking about.

When you think about that team, when you think about those players, you think about the city, the state we were in, the way people were maneuvering, what it meant to go into the Grand Avenue Mall and see a Bucs player, or what it meant to go into Bayshore Mall and see a Bucs player, or what it meant to walk into a club or an establishment without having to pay them.

Right.

They just want to be a part of it.

And I think a lot of, uh, you know, people got turned off with the Damien Lillard situation with some comments that LeBron made so on and so on.

So, uh, you know, I can imagine they're doing everything possible again to try and rebuild that, that Brandon identity.

But when I was there again,

When we talk about culture, we talk about identity, we talk about an organization this large that has such a huge economic impact on the city, everybody is looking at the players, nobody is looking at the front office, nobody is looking at the owners, nobody is looking at the people that have stakes inside of this, and the people who are actually making the real decisions, right?

When Yanis was here, he probably had some say so, but he does not make the decisions.

Right?

When we're talking about community work, the players, Tyler Hero is not the one making the decisions.

They are simply the face.

So we need to figure out who these people are, right?

And understand the structure so that, A, we can understand business.

How it impacts us economically, especially because it's sitting in the middle of underserved communities that's surrounded, right?

And then also, because we need to expose different positions to our youth, because not every child is going to make it to the NBA or WNBA.

Those are facts.

So let's talk about it.

And you can chime in again at any time, 833-212-1017.

It should grow jazz.

Tyler, we got to go to break.

Do not touch that dial.

1017 is the truth.

Shout out to Mahdi.

If you are just not joining us, we are talking about the Milwaukee Bucks.

He says that the Cleveland Browns owner is the owner of the Bucks.

The Browns at Milwaukee and Memphis is trash.

No soap opera this year.

Go Bucks, go.

Yes, indeed.

So, um, if you were, uh, if you are just not twinning in before we went to break, we were talking about media day.

So we had an opportunity to go down and, um, be a part of media day today.

And a lot of, you know, a lot of the, the journalists, the reporters asked the typical questions that we know everyone wants to know.

They talked about the investigation that's going on with one of the players and the $90 million contract, right?

Juicy stories, quote unquote.

Um, they've talked about.

The culture, the identity, the new teammates, Niana's not being here, so on and so on.

And while we were sitting there, I couldn't help but realize that, A, we have not seen the governor of the board, I'm sorry, of the Bucks for about two years, and he was there speaking today.

That's West Edens.

There is so much structure, so much that goes into this organization that the people don't understand.

And I think we need to break this down for a few reasons.

One of the reasons is because, A, it impacts us.

It impacts our city economically, especially sitting in the heart of downtown with underserved communities surrounding that organization.

B, because we don't have open dialogue enough with our youth as it pertains to different types of roles when it comes to sports, right?

Everybody is just pushing.

I've never seen so many AU teams in my life.

Everybody is pushing their child.

to be the next NBA star or WNBA star.

But no one's pushing them to be a owner.

No one's pushing them to purchase stakes inside of this organization or these organizations.

No one is pushing them to be the next rich Paul or Asian or things of that nature.

So I think it's time we have a conversation about this organization and obviously again, just

You know, to reiterate, this is not about bashing the books.

This is strictly informative so that we can understand from a business level how this organization impacts us.

Not only that, we need to understand who's all a part of it as well so that when we are watching these games or when we are supporting them, um, that we, you know, it's a two-way street, first and foremost, but also we begin to understand the structure of it, right?

The players are just the face.

They don't make the decisions, right?

Some, depending on how good or how much they bring to the table, may have some say so.

But ultimately, they do not make the decisions and we have to be able to distinguish the two.

So with that being said, let's talk about the people behind the franchise.

So West Edens and Mark Lazery purchased the Bucks in 2014.

And in 2023, Dee and Jimmy Haslam acquired Lazery's ownership interest.

So Jamie, uh, I think is the nine is also a part of this ownership group.

Um, Eden's co-founded fortress investment group.

So, um, he was there today.

West Eden's is a co-owner of the bucks, but he also is the governor of the Milwaukee bucks.

And this is something that a lot of people, uh, don't know, probably, uh, have never heard of as far as him being the governor as well.

For the sports addicts, I'm probably just mumbling.

You know all of this information, but there's a lot of people who are unfamiliar Might I add right when you go to Forbes and you look up Wesley Eden's He is worth 2.4 billion dollars He is a billionaire right not a millionaire.

There's a difference So when we think of these organizations, obviously, we're probably going to think like hey, we know they got money

We know whoever owns it, whoever is a part of it has boo-koo money.

But a millionaire and a billionaire are two completely different things.

So one of the co-owners and the person who governs the Milwaukee Bucks is a billionaire.

His asset is set at $2.4 billion.

Shout out to Wes Eden.

We need to figure out how, as Ben said earlier, how can we become a billionaire?

I want to go over his role, right?

So he's been a co-owner since 2014.

His current governorship runs through 2028 under the ownership arrangement, which was announced in 2023.

So his principal responsibilities include the following, NBA representation.

He represents the Milwaukee on the NBA board of governors, where owners address league-wide business, governance,

and governance and policy matters.

Major basketball decisions, exercise and ownership level authority over major organizational decisions, including leadership appointments and basketball strategy.

He's over financial oversight, working with the ownership group on significant investments, budgets and the franchise long term financial direction.

He's over the business development.

So he's oh he oversees the interest involving books defies a form the dear district in related operations He's over the executive accountability So working with fellow owners to appoint and oversee the executives responsible for Running the organization.

So when we're talking about the front office, not just the front office

But also the Pfizer form period in the entire dear district.

We are talking about decisions that are made from West Edens Who is the co-founder?

I'm sorry co-owner one of the owners as well as the governor of the Milwaukee Bucks so This is very interesting to me because obviously when we think about the Bucks or when you know something happens

We we instantly look at the players.

We instantly look at the coach.

Um, no one is really paying attention to the people who make the decision.

So when there's things happening that we like or don't like or that we agree or disagree with, we need to understand who should be held responsible.

But most importantly, um, you know, again, this isn't to target anybody.

This is just for us to understand.

So we need to understand this structure and how this works.

Um, next up, we have a Jimmy and D Haslam.

So they are connected to the Haslam sports.

group, D and Jimmy Haslams are committed to restoring obviously the championship of the Cleveland Browns.

So prior to the Milwaukee Bucks, I don't know if he still owns or was part owner of the Cleveland Browns, but I remember when that broke, that story broke.

There were some people who were, you know, okay with it.

There were some people who were not okay with it.

Either way, he is

part owner of the Bucs and him and his wife.

So we should be made aware of that as well, which I'm almost positive a lot of people were already familiar with.

And then Jamie Denon, he is also co-owner of the Milwaukee Bucs.

He founded the York Capital Management Group.

And yeah, these people are people with business and investment backgrounds.

Those backgrounds matter.

I'm gonna talk about that.

We're gonna talk about how they got in these positions All of the above so We're talking about decisions going back to West Edens The owner and the governor are not the same thing as the general manager the general manager handles basketball personnel strategy including roster construction and transactions

The head coach develops the own court system and make coaching decisions Then you have a business side managing partnerships when it comes to ticketing marketing events communications and commercial operations, right?

So the next time somebody says the bucks need to do something I want us to be specific, right?

Is it pertaining to the roster?

Is it a business partnership?

Is it community relations?

Is it educational?

What is it, right?

knocking, uh, knowing which door to knock on makes a community conversation more productive.

You understand?

So yes, we're talking about the bucks, but I need you to understand the purpose of this conversation business-wise, right?

When we talk about the bucks, oftentimes black people specifically, we are so emotional.

when it comes to these conversations in business.

And yes, I said it and I have to say it because you have to understand that when we sit at these tables and we have these conversations and we want change and we make demands right, not specifically with the books.

I'm just saying overall, we don't understand business.

We don't understand structure.

We don't understand economic impact.

And that's what I'm trying to explain here.

That's what I'm trying to get all of us to understand.

So you could take this example with this organization.

Apply it to wherever you see fit, but begin to process this and think about this when it comes to the city overall.

When we think about the major corporations that's here, not just the Bucks or the Brewers, but hopefully it prompts you to go and look at other organizations that has an economic impact on the city of Milwaukee.

Right.

So again, this isn't, you know, to target the books.

I'm a fan of them.

I love them.

Absolutely.

But I think we have to pay more attention to who makes decisions, why they make these decisions, what it is that they're attempting to do and how is it going to affect us economically.

Also, a part of me having this conversation too is because I remember during my breast cancer recovery, you know, I went back to work.

I was working two jobs.

Two weeks after a mastectomy, auto woman Cox hired me and the Milwaukee Bucks hired me.

And when I went to work for the Bucks, um, it was just a regular position.

Wasn't nothing fancy or anything like that.

But they had, uh, something that they were doing specifically for specific zip codes.

So if you lived in, I think five, three, two, zero, six, five, three, two, one, two, like certain zip codes that was surrounding the arena, they were hiring people first from those areas.

is because they wanted to make sure that they included the people around and underserved communities that they were a part of the economic transformation.

We gotta go to break!

When we come back, let's finish this conversation and should grow Jazz Tyler

1017 the Truth.

One on one seven and truth sugar jazz Tyler.

We are live and direct happy Monday world Milwaukee surrounding areas got did you meet?

Brother Z in the building If you are just now joining us, we are having a conversation about the Milwaukee Bucks, but not the typical conversation We had the opportunity to go to media day today and One of the things that I noticed was that a the new coaching staff has

Seems that they have a passion for community, for culture, for understanding the city as well.

So earlier, Meach played a clip that Taylor Jenkins and John Horst talked about.

There was a question pertaining to politics and Tyler, not Taylor, Tyler Jenkins responded, you know, with...

What I believe, some may say is a safe answer, but I think that it was the right answer.

Um, and it seemed genuine.

You know, only time would tell, but basically he was stating that, uh, the community is important.

Um, if I'm not mistaken, John came from Memphis, you know, so he, Memphis in Milwaukee is similar.

Meet, you know, your family is from there.

You'd be down there too.

So when it, when it, when we're talking about the culture in the state of the city is not the same, but it is similar.

So he seems to be very, you know, wanting to be engaged in the community as well.

And we are talking about the books because, A, a lot of times when season starts back, everybody is covering it for entertainment purposes.

But I think what we have to understand and realize is that, A, this is a part of the economic impact in the city of Milwaukee, right?

This is one of the biggest economic impact in the city of Milwaukee, meaning that if today,

for whatever reason, you know, they decided to completely remove the Milwaukee Bucks team from the city of Milwaukee.

We will lose so much money.

And this will have an impact, not just employment-wise, but in various of different ways on this city.

And as a result, I can't imagine that how many people will be without jobs, so on and so on.

So before we went to break, I was talking about my personal experience, right?

This is a part of the conversation.

How do we include organizations like this with the community so that the underserved communities that's around this entity is a part of the economic transformation and not just, you know, stand by.

Standing by watching not just spectators and one of the initiatives that they did I remember I don't know if they have done it afterwards, but I was actually a part of it in 2019 Where they had targeted zip codes now.

This is something that I know they work with the city of Milwaukee and the Common Council on but basically 5 3 2 0 4 5 3 2 0 5 5 3 2 0 6 0 9 15 and 18 were a part of this

And they were strategically working with these areas when it came to employment and at this time I was actually you know on bed rest for medical leave due to my cancer my cancer recovery and I was not working for my former employer But I still had to do what I had to do because I was also going through a divorce at the same time and I reached out to auto woman Cox

And she hired me and then she told me about the Milwaukee Bucks because half of I believe the parking structure is in her district as well.

And told me about what they were doing and I applied and they ended up hiring me.

And it wasn't a fancy position, which I didn't need.

But what I noticed and what I paid attention to from my personal experiences is that they were what happens when an organization as large as that is very strategic about how to include.

the underserved communities around them and making sure that they become a part of what they have going on.

So, you know, when I said in the room today.

And I'm hearing so many people talk about, you know, Jan is leaving and they're talking about the $90 million contract and investigations and all of these other things.

You know, we have a new roster.

Majority of the players are new.
