The Milwaukee Bucks returned home and promptly went 2-0 to pick themselves up after a rough California road trip. Riley, Adam, and Kyle get together to talk through the victories, the triumphant return of Khris Middleton, issue their official apologies to Bobby Portis, and anoint AJ Green as "the next big thing". All that, plus their criteria for tribute videos, taco proteins of choice, Love is Blind (pt. 2), and more!

With the Milwaukee Bucks wrapping up their largely unsuccessful California road trip, Riley, Adam and Jackson got together to assess who they think this team really is. Should we be optimistic that offensive inconsistencies will fall to the wayside once the playoffs arrive? Is it even possible to get grown men to "hold themselves accountable" 75% of a way through a season? What the heck is a big man rotation? They tackle all that, plus what the Bucks need to do to win the 2024 title, #JacksonInDeepWaterIsAProblem, which current Buck would make the best color analyst, Jackson's Build, and much more!

The Bucks continue winning, and nobody is complaining. Kyle is joined by former co-managing Brew Hoop Adam and Mitchell editors to discuss the improved defense, Doc's man management, and the likely end of the 8-man rotation experiment.

Then they wonder how much the regular season matters and if getting the highest seeding is more important than the team finding its groove. Does the team need an a**hole to win a title? Maybe.

Then we end with rapid fire questions, Kyle talks about Love Is Blind and a new recurring segment of Mitchell's press conference after he coached some scrimmages.

With the Milwaukee Bucks taking hold of a new lease on life post-All-Star break, Riley, Kyle, and Jackson drew together to understand this new ray of basketball light. Did the Bucks really just need a few days off? Are we talking about practice? The defense looks legit - is it good enough to do the job in the playoffs? Plus, a Danilo Gallinari love-in, the undeath of Pat Connaughton (???), and a desperate search for the root of Doc Rivers-focused antipathy.

Plus! "Avatar: The Last Airbender" (live action series) takes, Jacques Herbin fountain pen ink, Jackson unveils his latest Lego build, predicting Gallo's first points, and much more!

Just when the Milwaukee Bucks give a hint that they may finally be turning the corner with a dominant win over the Denver Nuggets, they fell right back to Earth with losses to the Miami Heat and Memphis Grizzlies. Kyle, Michael, and Riley gather to diagnose what ails the team (yet again), consider whether two engines working apart can get the job done, and roster construction concerns rearing their head. Plus, they each present a positive take for balance, Kyle reviews 2022's "Bullet Train", discussions about favorite scents, and more!

With the Milwaukee Bucks active at the trade deadline yet again, Riley dials in for a special solo podcast to talk through the arrival of Patrick Beverley. How will Milwaukee's newest guard fit in with the rotation, and can he be the perimeter defender that can drag the team towards a viable playoff defense? We say bon voyage to Cam Payne and Robin Lopez, consider the state of the Bucks youth, wonder about filling the 15th roster spot, and more!

With Doc Rivers officially taking the reins as head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, the games are coming thick and fast. Notching a 1-3 record since the handover from Joe Prunty, the Bucks gave Riley, Kyle, and Adam plenty to talk about. Namely, a veteran-only rotation, the travails of trade candidates, a continually excellent season for Giannis Antetokounmpo, and the new direction Milwaukee may be heading in. All that, plus ideal pizza toppings, whether Pat Connaughton will get his number retired, and much more!

The Milwaukee Bucks have parted ways with head coach Adrian Griffin after 43 games and a 30-13 record. Kyle, Adam, and Riley talk through their spit take reactions to the news, look back on the (brief) Griffin era, and where it all went wrong. With news that Doc Rivers is a favorite to take over the job, they discuss his fit with Milwaukee's roster, his past successes (and numerous failures) as a coach, their apprehensions, their excitement, and, of course, interim head coach Joe Prunty.

Trade season is heating up while the Milwaukee Bucks continue to deliver bang-average results on the court. Riley, Kyle, and their Brew Hoop compatriot Michael get together to divine anything of meaning from a short week of play for Milwaukee. Then, they kick off the pod's trade coverage with fake trades of their own. The cherry on top? Kyle's mega deal that will have you wondering what alternate universe you're living in. All that, plus rapid fire, a pen ink review, and the debut of Michael's Gridiron Minute!

Just when Kyle and Riley had declared them on the brink of something negative, the Milwaukee Bucks turned things around (again) to bring their record to .500 in the new year. Adam returns and they talk about whether this latest surge is meaningfully different from previous ones, the sustainability of team performances against top-tier competition, and whether there actually is a flip to be switched this time around. All that, plus a Stenobook review, rapid fire, predictions, and more!
