• Episode 189: Feeling Fine at 4-9
    Nov 18 2024

    The Milwaukee Bucks... won more games than they lost in a week? Exciting times call for exciting podcast discussions as the original Deer Diaries (A Milwaukee Bucks Podcast!) crew assembled to talk the 2-1 week that very well could change everything.

    Kyle, Adam, and Riley discussed Giannis Antetokounmpo's return to dominant form, ask more questions which they don't yet have answers to, and ponder possible bright futures with Taurean Prince in the mix.

    All that, plus rapid fire questions, a fountain pen ink review, and weekly predictions!

  • Episode 188: 10 Game Sample-Size Blues
    Nov 12 2024

    Well... this is a bummer.

    Heading into the 2024-2025 season with championship aspirations, the Milwaukee Bucks have instead bumbled their way to a 2-8 start.

    Kyle, Jack, and Riley talk through early season observations with particular focus on what, if anything, Giannis Antetokounmpo can still give, how to never play Bobby Portis or Pat Connaughton again, and a defense that has no concrete fix in sight.

    All that, plus rapid fire, Kyle's review of Old Dads, Jack's latest report from the NBL, and weekly predictions!

  • Kris Johnson on Bucks-Celtics, Early Season Temperature Checks, & LA
    Oct 31 2024

    In a special midweek edition of Deer Diaries (A Milwaukee Bucks Podcast!) we were happy to be joined by the singular Kris Johnson to discuss a number of early season topics. Kris is 50% of the duo hosting Hear District (with his father, Marques Johnson, making up the other half) as part of the Bucks+ audio program network - on their weekly program they host guests from across the organization and NBA to discuss the Bucks, the league, and basketball in general.

    We begin his appearance with a breakdown of Bucks-Celtics and our early season encouragements and concerns. Then, it is on to a way-too-early temperature check on all the players in Milwaukee's rotation (thus far) and the team's offense and defense. Finally, we close with a local's where-to guide of Los Angeles, covering ground from the city's best restaurants to its best music venues.

    Thank you for joining, Kris!

  • Episode 187: The Gang is Allergic to Winning
    Oct 28 2024

    The Milwaukee Bucks have successfully drunkenly stumbled out of the gate to start the 2024-2025 season, and the Deer Diaries crew is here to break all the misery down! Adam, Kyle, and Riley run through defensive concerns, offensive misfirings, how up the pessimists/haters are right now, and their general level of concern at Milwaukee's 1-2 start.

    That, plus rapid fire, a new Robert Oster ink, and weekly predictions!

  • The Official Deer Diaries Season Preview!
    Oct 23 2024

    And we're back!

    With the episode dropping on the day of the Milwaukee Bucks 2024-2025 season opener, it was only right that Kyle and Riley got together to put a final bow on their Season Preview Series of interviews.

    The takes start with Tyler Smith being the most intriguing new Buck and they don't get any less insane from there!

    We want to thank everyone who listened or watched any of our podcasts with guests. It was a lot of fun, and we look forward to another season podcasting the Bucks with you!

    The Milwaukee Bucks 2024-2025 season is around the corner, but we've got a few Season Preview Series still to go! This week, we were happy to be joined by the newest member of Brew Hoop to gain his insights from the Southern Hemisphere.

    Jack Trehearne is a welcome addition to our now one-man-strong Australian contingent. He brings plenty of basketball Xs and Os knowledge to the site, came upon Bucks fandom stocking store shelves, and is a Stanley Umude Believer to boot.

  • Season Preview Series, Feat. Jim Paschke
    Oct 11 2024

    Fresh off an appearance by the current play-by-play announcer of the Milwaukee Bucks, Lisa Byington, we were delighted to have the opportunity to have her predecessor undergo the Season Preview Series treatment.

    Jim Paschke needs no introduction for Bucks fans regardless of how long they've been following the team. While he has stepped back from the daily grind of covering the Bucks, he continues to follow both the team and league closely. His answers to our bevy of questions about the 2024-2025 Bucks reflected that.

    All that, plus insight on how Giannis Antetokounmpo "pushed" him as a broadcaster and the debut of Jim's Miscellaneous segment: "Paschke's Passport".

    Enjoy!
