I am Chad Holmes and I need to be taking off the ledge this morning.
So we're going to stop talking about all the things that annoy me this morning.
But then again, we will be talking about the puck.
So that will annoy me right back at it.
But we're going to talk some sports here with Paul Mickley.
Good morning, Paul Mickley.
Good morning.
I thought you were going to say it.
That I'm I'm the annoying one.
I thought that's what you were saying.
Well, I got to admit from time to time I'll pull up my phone and you will annoy me and you'll know that I'm annoyed when I don't respond to it I think I've noticed a couple times.
I was not responding.
Yeah Everybody
out there just so you know
if you
ever want to get if you ever want to get chat homes to be quiet You just tell them
Some facts.
And then he doesn't like that.
I am not going to go down there.
I was trying to figure out where to start because I'm going to wait till the next segment.
We'll talk call the troops because I'm just I'm giddy over the fact that Marquette won a big East game by more than one point this year.
I started to wonder if that was going to happen.
So we'll talk about that later.
But.
It
looks
like there's signs of life there, so that's something to look forward to.
Signs of life are something we're not seeing much for the Milwaukee Bucks.
I mean, the Washington Wizards have found a team that they can beat on a consistent basis this year, which is pretty amazing, and it's the Milwaukee Bucks.
Well, I
think they got 12.
Winds I think Washington
is three of them
are against or nine wins and three of them against
They're double digits.
Okay, so it's 12 so it's 12 so
they got 12 wins So nine against the rest the NBA
and and three against the books is just insanity But I'm gonna bring up some good possible news for the books because and again I'm not gonna try to explain how this is gonna happen because there's pick swaps involved But the bucks could theoretically have a really high pick in the NBA draft next year people talking about
They don't picks to maneuver in a possible trade, but they are part of the trade.
I think that ultimately went back, maybe the Drew Holiday.
Yeah, and then Atlanta's in there as well.
But as long as the pelicans continue to stink and the bucks continue to stink, there's a possibility, theoretically, if the drawing and the.
ping-pong balls or whatever they use these days work.
You could actually literally have a top two pick or top three pick.
Well, you can't have a top pick.
No, you can't have the top pick, but you could have a top two pick or a top three pick because of the swap.
Pelicans will get the higher pick.
Correct.
The Bucks will get the lower one.
But when it happens, you're thinking, well, usually it's like one team will be in the draft lottery.
The other team will be like, the Bucks were expecting to be like 27.
And we hit rock bottom that we're talking about the draft.
I know.
We're talking about the NBA draft.
hit rock bottom but when you see the Bucks no answer that question hit rock bottom well we've hit rock bottom when it comes to the Bucks for the first that's I'm talking about the box yeah no you're exactly right I mean because by the way I like Doc Rivers as a man but this is going nowhere it's not going anywhere for him it's not going to I mean I think frankly
If they want the bucks have to figure out foot them themselves what they want this year right now And if they really do want to try to make a fight for a play-in spot, I don't think doc I think they need a spark I'm not usually one of those people that says fire the coach get a spark but right now they are in such a I Mean, there's nothing there is there.
Are they are they so pain?
two coaches.
I don't know what the deal is.
I don't know how because three coaches are with the Phoenix and then lost his job after just one year.
So I don't know how that affects everything.
So give coach Bud a call here.
Are you getting paid by both the bucks and the sons right now?
Yeah.
I mean, the
reason
I'm asking is and and I have not heard anything about Adrian.
What's his name?
Griffin forget his name.
I have not heard if he's got a job anymore.
Well,
Jay Crowder thinks that he was a coach, I guess.
But
from Twitter, or X or whatever it is.
31 and 11 looks pretty darn good in the rear view mirror, I'll tell you that.
And again, we were not going to go and re-litigate all of that.
But, but whatever.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
But yeah, I mean, things have just, things have gone downhill.
At what point do you just,
you don't
even need to hire someone.
I
mean, they got like 18 coaches.
Just get rid of dying and this and put you got a guy that's been a head coach put him out there Or just
make it the feel good thing isn't pretty out there isn't Vin Baker on the staff yet Feel good story former buck star.
Well, I mean, okay if you want to feel
good story, but I'm talking
about realistic They got
they got head coaches on the staff.
Yeah.
Yeah,
so just take one of those guys
Yeah,
I mean I don't understand I mean what and you're not paying them because you're paying them anyways because they're on their staff Yep, so just let them
Move on
and of course we even mentioned since we last talked that Yannis got hurt again last Friday night So it's like then he's gone for four to six weeks if he's still on the team and and they're talking to and again I don't think I think the easy thing right now would be to okay We got we got a trailer.
You're not gonna get you're not gonna get as much from but then again There'll be only one year of you.
He'll have the option after next year.
So His value has been going down steadily every day for the last year
Yeah, at this point time you to be honest with you you hold on to him and then you trained in the summer
you just make an auction say okay everybody who?
What's your best offer and then go for there because I mean make it a trade now would not help this team You gotta look you gotta think big picture right now for the bucks Don't
I still think yeah, I agree and the thing is I who's going to if he's gonna be out for another five weeks I know huh?
You don't know for sure if he's gonna be back
I mean and this
is an injury set before so I mean who knows yes I mean so I mean why would you trade a lot of people right now well for him because there's always an idiot out there They were it only takes one it only takes one so I guess in a sense It's fine because all the stories are the box are actually listening for the first time But I guess no problem listening but boy Horst if he messes this up, he's done
I mean this is you if people say oh, that's not you say that
though, but we keep dock rivers around horses got an extension last spring
Well, I mean the bucks have shown that they're willing to eat contracts Jimmy has them they used to
They haven't they have I mean dock rivers there.
They will not eat this contract.
They lost the wizards three times.
I know
Chris Middleton's it looks like he's uh, he's probably laughing
They might be ahead of the box before the end of the correct
On that happy note happy Friday.
We're gonna take a time out and then come back about happier things after the break It's almost 8 30 3 below zero here in downtown wassup channel home show 98.9 WXCO
And welcome back to our show 98.9 WXCO online at wxco.fm mobile devices and Alexa by searching WXCO on the civic media app and on YouTube YouTube.com and the 98.9 WXCO channel again this will be our final segment this morning on 98.9 WXCO Greg Bach will be in after nine o'clock for mid mornings on civic media
Yesterday, Greg had our WXCO news reporter Isabella Nieto on in the second hour.
In fact, in the second hour of his show, after 10 o'clock on Monday, I will be joining Greg for a couple of segments from 10.06 to about 10.30, so make sure you tune in for that.
But if you want to stick with us, and we're going to talk a lot about the headlines, and I have a few thoughts on, especially the Democratic side, I want to see you still.
Again, I'm not going to throw a parade for Chuck Schumer because
He's able to, I think, finally get something accomplished when it comes to separating Department of Homeland Security funding in the next budget from the five other budget bills.
But we're going to talk about that.
We're going to talk about, again, I think just a complete overreach when it comes to arresting a journalist.
Don Lemon, famous journalist who was with CNN for a long time, independent now, and he was...
covering a Minnesota church protest last week and the irony of ironies the Trump Department Department of Justice is arresting Don Lemon over on a law that was brought in
to try to curb the Ku Klux Klan in the past.
So again, we're going to talk about that coming up in hour number two of the show as well.

Well, let's see
Last night at last night I did not have rehearsal for spelling bee
So I was able to attend the, well, the rehearsal for the center stage abandoned show choir.
And last night was the annual meeting to discuss the upcoming year and also to announce the theme of this year's show as well.
And it's actually a very interesting theme.
It's a little different, but it's a great theme.
And then the last, it's called
Tribute to a wasa west a pop concert.
Hmm.
So I What an interesting Music and we got to I Got to sing some of the songs for the first time last night because that was my first time I came back to center stage rehearsal They should be a very great show it's gonna be a little different because we can't use the grand
a theater this year for Center Stage because of the second century campaign.
So right now they're in the process of trying to finalize a different venue, space to have the show later in September of this year.
It was great to get back to that rehearsal as well.
And the nice thing is that Center Stage only meets on Thursdays once a week.
Very good.
That's interesting how you put together such a fantastic show and it basically is something that is done over many months time.
Oh
yeah.
It's not a case of the normal theater rehearsal process where you go into it for basically six weeks all in on an almost nightly basis but you do it slowly but surely but in the end it comes together exceptionally well.
Oh yeah we definitely got a lot of positive
feedback, especially from last year's show.
One of the members of Sarah's stage I mentioned last night that Sarah's stage is the greatest kept secret that no one ever knows about.
So that's not what we want.
Nope.
We want to get the word out.
We want to get more people to see the show and more people involved as well.
Well, we're trying to do that here as we do with the other.
productions as well.
We'll talk about Central Wisconsin Children's Theater next week and Sleeta and their Shrek performance.
We'll have cast members joining us next week on this program as well.
So looking forward to that.
Also, again, we're looking forward tonight to High School Girls Hockey as the Central Wisconsin Storm travels up north.
