The Janus and the Milwaukee Bucks drama has intensified over the last few days. Again. Again in a way that seemingly I think isn't getting talked about enough. I think it's cooked. I think it's like super cooked now. As you guys know, Janus has been dealing with another injury as of the last month. He feels it's time for him to return to the court. The Bucks feel slow down.

Shom says, the NBA is investigating the Milwaukee Bucks for their handling of the player participating policy and potential inconsistent statements regarding the health of Janus. Sources tell ESPN. The league has interviewed Janus aside the Bucks and the team doctors. Follow up.

Both Ante Dekumpo and the Bucks have told league investigators different stories. Bohaqi Bucks have informed the NBA that it doesn't believe Janus is ready

and actually wants to play. Yannis informed the NBA he wants to play but the team will not medically clear him. Dude, Janice went to the fucking cops. He's suing the bucks.

He's suing the bucks. This continues. Another follow-up. A year of dysfunction between a franchise and its cornerstone played out with the Bucks failed trade talks last August. And in February trade deadline, now the league office is the audience for the latest squabble, whether he can play or not. There's some other quotes that we can pull up about what Yana said personally. He basically said they got me extremely fucked up and I don't know where our relationship goes from here. You have to think it's cook now, right?

Good job, Milwaukee. Good job. They stand on someone from the first time. But I heard they're standing on the wrong thing. Like, clearly, everybody knows we're not going to, we're not going to. we're not going to last long term. We need to break up. But you don't want to break up with me.

So I'm going to make, like, you don't want to come out and you don't want to say it. So I'm going to make you hate me. And I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that you just look at this and say, I can't be here. I need to move on. Shout out to them for actually doing this. And yeah, I do think that it's cooked. I do think that Yonis would be on a new team at the start of next season.

And it sucks that I had to get to this point. But hey John's just stepped up and just said hey I want to be traded. We wouldn't be here. Yeah. Yeah. Three quotes here that Yana said. He was talking reporters on this day. There are quite honest quotes actually.

First one. I had an initial conversation with who I should be talking to, which is Coach Doc Rivers and John Horst, the GM. And the initial conversation is that I want to play. And after that, I've never had a conversation again. Nobody has ever approached me about not playing or whatever the plan is. So he's saying they're kind of ghosting him about not going to be. clearing him. He keeps saying I'm ready and they're not saying

shit. Next one. I've never seen a case of a player of my caliber. That's like saying it publicly. I want to fucking play. You know what I'm saying? I don't think I've seen this. So if there needs to be an investigation, great. There should be. I don't know

until we figure something. That's insane. He said nobody that's as lit as me has ever been this fucked up by their team. Can you believe it? We need to have the feds involved. Do you know why he wants to play so fucking badly? he wants to play with his brothers, man. He wants to hoop with Alex Thinacoubos.

He wants to hoop with Alex Thinacoubill so fucking bad. Which I understand. From his perspective. Last quote. For somebody to come and tell me not to play or not to compete, it's like a slap in my face. So I don't know where the relationship goes from here. You know exactly where it goes, man. Los Angeles Lakers.

Shut up. I'm tired of everybody speaking. Nobody say another word. You go over there. You go over there. Break up with that. whole man what's wrong

what's wrong with you man we got to put a muzzle on them that's what I'm sorry man this is talking to the homie that's in a toxic relationship this is what it is that's not ridiculous to say that man

it's not ridiculous to say that it's not ridiculous at all continue man my bad my bad no you're right you never I wasn't going to go there yet, but you're right. I was going to go there in less precise language. But I agree.

I think he's been doing this. You know what this is? He's been trying so hard to do this loyalty gimmick and say, I'm so about the team, that now the next step of that is to say, I'm so about the team and I'm so real and I'm not being fake, that I'll play through anything. I got to get out there as soon as I can. And they are impeding him from doing his gimmick all the way

and maintaining his image. That clearly has been the most important part of all this is maintaining his image. and not wanting to be the guy that give up on his team. What you talked about at length is understandable to some degree, right? Sounds to me like he found us out.

Like he found his way to tell himself that I was trying to stay and then they fucked me over. It's like a max crowd situation where he has some issues with the medical staff and now if a trade happens, so be it,

we're not seeing how to hide. He's psychotic. He's calculated. This has been a year-long case study course class in manipulation. He is the peak NBA male manipulator.

That's what this entire year has been. And now you're going to see somebody over the next, you know, four to six months lie to themselves, lie to the public publicly about how things. And honestly, no. I do agree or I do believe, honestly, that like that Milwaukee is like, no,

you're not going to play because they do think that it's the right thing for them to do. They're not going to go anywhere they want to be in the lottery, all that stuff. I do believe that. but I also believe that Janice is not going to take this and spin it in his mind and be like, yeah, I was so down when you were never, you were never down to the extent that you said that you were.

Angel Reese just got traded to the Atlanta dream. Who? Angel Reese just got traded to the Atlanta. Oh, shit. That's crazy. Two first on picks. Trade to Atlanta. Two first.

They moved first like that in the W? Wow. 2027, 28. That's a top 12 pick. That's a lot. That's great. Wow. Okay.

Two? Okay. I'm not informed enough of how the draft pick dynamics work there. Okay, wow. She's gonna thrive. She's gonna be on all types of podcasts. Atlanta podcast, yeah.

Yeah, she's thriving. But yeah, but Janus. She's been to have Omar on the show. He has to. Oh, God. Logan. Had been drool. She, she has to, no, Janice has to be out here.

He has to be off the team. That's just, that's just number one. He has to be off the team. I'm glad you corrected yourself if that's where you were heading. She has to be off the team, y'all. My, we're trying to emerge two conversations. That's on me. That's on me.

I got to be one way. I'm just so happy for the bucks, man. Like, they finally, like, actually, they grew up here. And they're like, nope, can't let this happen. They've let so much shit slide and they tried everything. to make Janice happy. They even signed Alex Atenacouple, bro. Like, what people talk about, like, how people talk about Brony James,

Alex Zena Kupu is he embodies that, bro. Do you know how bad he is at basketball? He averaged in the G league, like three, four points, got 20 minutes worth of play on 32% shooting from the field. He's so fucking bad. It doesn't even make any sense, bro. And what else? And I understand, like, why Yonis was to get his IG pickoff between,

He just wants to see him and his three brothers on the court. I get it. But for the bucks, it comes to a point where I like, all right, bro, I signed Alex. And you want to play, you're my biggest ass. So you could rupture her fucking Achilles. And you want to risk that. The line is drawn. Yeah, I've really become so, so anti-ionis in this entire process.

Because I was never on his side from the beginning because I have always stated. I just wanted him to be very upfront with the fact that, like, you don't want to be here. And that's okay. and nobody would have faulted him for that. So it's been like that. And then as the year has gone on, as we've gone and gotten multiple injuries from Janus, at this point, I'm kind of at the point where I'm like,

you know, if I'm a real, real contender and you know what the haul is going to be, I'm not 100% sure that the value is going to be there for training for Yonis. So I think right now, I wouldn't, if I had the choice, I wouldn't be in the Yon of business. I just, I don't know about that.

I just remembered up before the show started. What did you say? Say it. Mo said you look like a Walmart employee. No, this is ridiculous. This is ridiculous. I said that told Donovan first. Mike you, that was two hours ago.

That was so ridden to Michael. That was two hours ago. I just came in swinging for no reason. I said you look at you work at Amazon, tell a box. Two hours ago, free show. I was just. And we were talking about basketball. I was just looking at you.

He's so proud of that vest too. I was. I was very happy to buy this vest. I got for 30 bucks. I thought it was kind of cool. It's cool. I was looking at you and I was looking at you talk and I wasn't listening to shit you were saying. I was just looking at the vest.

And I remembered that I couldn't push your head. Pushing carts. And I'm mad too because it was a very funny joke. And I'm madden. And. And a couple of times I've looked at myself and I have got to check out. Yeah. You can just imagine the Amba song match.

Yeah. There's been a couple moments where I'm like, should I take this off? But I don't know. However, that was wild. I couldn't even get it out. That was wild. That was wild. Not to say that that didn't happen, that you were wrong.

Oh, I just had intrusive thought that had to let out. It was just unnecessary. I have tears. I'm crying. we got to put a T3 patch on it I know that's like we have a grocery store you know creators start business all the time now we're trying to sell you something
