This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Hey, guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas.

We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Tired and sick.

Listen to Hey, Jonas, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you. you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and friends on the ice.

Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds.

I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Michelle McPhee, and I've been unraveling the strangest criminal alliance I've ever reported on. A Mormon polygamist and an Armenian businessman. Multi-million dollar house, Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, a billion dollar fraud. But how long can this alliance last? Tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me?

Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The volume. What is going on, my people? How are we doing, John Middilkoff? Three and out podcast. Hopefully everyone had a good Easter weekend. Here's the game plan right now. We had some tentative plans.

We've moved them around. I over the weekend recorded a two-part mailbag. So today will be the first part. Tomorrow will be the second part. and you guys know the drill at John Middlecough firing my DMs on Instagram how you get your questions answered right here I'm in Los Angeles all week

doing filling in with Colin on the herd his show probably heard of it and I just didn't know my schedule I knew I wasn't going to be able to do record anything on Easter so over the next couple days I'll do a master's preview as well that will be up

with some of my plays, some of my plays that I like, because your boy's hot when it comes to betting the little white golf ball. So other than that, yeah, we have a tentative plan to potentially talk to one of the college head coaches in Southern California. And his name is not Lincoln Riley. So Bob Chesney, we're working on that. Looks like that might go down. So I might be at UCLA one of these days in the end. afternoon. But

let's just, before we dive into the mailbag, you guys know the drill, subscribe to the podcast if you listen on Collins feed. And make sure you check out all of our videos. Up on Netflix, appreciate everyone watching that way. And let's just dive right into the bag. Triple header for the bag. Peptides. Any thought on returitiride?

Ritatiride? Something Andrew Huberman is calling the next trillion dollar drug. Never heard of it. Tough to say. We're going to need to shorten that. A lot of teas and rides. And that was an intense word for a guy that has multiple degrees, which I butchered clearly.

Huge Bills fan to a huge knighter guy. If Josh doesn't win one Super Bowl with the bills by the end of his current contract, how likely would it be to see Josh go to his childhood team? The 49ers. Shanahan plus Josh equals. bananas, assuming Shanahan's still there. I think there were some rumbling at the at the

owners meetings about a contract extension. Your listener should be called the middlemen. I think that's a pretty popular. I've gotten a million DMs with the middlemen. We might just have to stick with that. It's what the people are asking for. I think sometimes, one, your childhood team is pretty overrated in pro sports, right?

I mean, Josh Allen is a farmer's kid from the Central Valley who has become an absolute rock star in Buffalo. You know, in pro sports, I think it can be a little overrated. I truly do. I mean, LeBron, born and raised in Cleveland, plays for the calves. But like, when I think of them, I think of the Miami Heat or the Los Angeles Lakers now. You know, so I just think sometimes Steph Curry is from the East Coast. He's going to spend the rest of his life, I would imagine, in the greater Bay area,

like Joe Montana, Steve Young, Barry Bonds have done with their lives. So I think as we get older, that stuff means less and less. For those of us that, you know, it's one thing we can move around. Like I am still more inclined like to follow the Niners and watch the Niners. But like, I keep really close tabs on the Eagles and the Chiefs. And don't try not to miss a snap of any of their games. So why is that? It's like I grew up a Cancy Chief or an Eagle guy.

Sometimes your connections professionally, it changes us. So I hear what you're saying. You know, Tom Brady once asked Kyle Shanahan with Jimmy Garoppel. So maybe that pulls on his heart. Maybe he does it at the end of his career. But I would say like he's a maid man in Buffalo and Super Bowl or not. He's going to be on the Buffalo bills for a long time. Okay.

Aiden. When people were saying Dante Morrill, more would go back to Oregon, I thought they were crazy. While he would earn 8 million at Oregon, he would earn a guaranteed $48 million since he was a shoe in to go number two. That seems the teams drafting at the top are always bad. The jets have Breece and Garrett, as well as two good linemen. The NIL era has clearly changed the game, wondering if you could give some insight into

why he did this. I don't know how old you are, Aden, but I think the perspective as you get older when someone says you could get $48 million, right? For me, if someone's like, hey, if you did this, you would get $48 million. I would be inclined, you know, unless it was like selling my soul, but just a basic business deal in the industry I work in, I would do that, right? As long as it didn't entail, you know, moving to a place I didn't want to move. because I honestly would say no. But, well, unless I can go back and forth, depending on how far it was.

My point is, when you're 20, 21 years old, and you're making $5 million and then $8 million, the guy is living like a king. He's at Oregon, which football has become, I mean, it's not quite Alabama, LSU, or Georgia, but it's pretty intense and pretty fun and a pretty big deal. So like when you're like, well, you could have had $48 million. I'm making $8 million right now.

We might win the national championship. Right. So it was one thing when you were brown bagging a kid and giving them a free, you know, BMW. It's another thing like this guy's probably made $15 million over the course of the last several years. So when you say that money, he's like, I'm rich right now, right? I'm going to be rich then. I also think it's probably less about like he didn't want to go to the Jets or the Cardinals and more about like this. This is awesome.

This is incredible. Because you're right. More than likely, the Jets, the Cardinals, the Browns are going to be in the market for his services next year, right? I think it's fair to say, let's say Dante Moore has a great season. And he's the number one overall pick. Better than, I almost said Eli. Archie, Arch, Archie's his grandpa.

Better than, I don't even, people keep telling me this quarterback class is incredible. We'll see. I mean, we hear that every single year. Sometimes it is, sometimes it doesn't live up to the height. But bottom line, let's just say he's the clear number one guy when all the dust settles. And Oregon goes on to Final Four or national championship or whatever.

He just has an incredible year. Let's say he wins the national championship. He does what Fernando Mendoza just did. First national championship in Oregon history, and he's fucking lights out. It would be stunning if he doesn't end up on one of those two teams. But I think the reason that these people are able to convince guys to stay is because, like, once you're making money

and you're having a good time, and you're probably dating one of the baddest babes or 10 of the baddest babes on campus and in the area. And hell, you got money, you can fly people out, meet them on Instagram in Dallas or L.A. Put them on a plane flight, put them in first class. It would change the way you thought about it. I just think it's dramatically different

when you factor in that these guys can get paid now as a young person. Your perspective changes a lot as you age. so maybe he looks back on it and been like, I should have left if this season doesn't go well. But I think in the moment when you're getting these huge checks and life's awesome and you're playing for Dan Langing, it feels like a lot of fun, pretty easy to do. Love the show. Mailback question.

This is from Steve. Do you think the bills will get over the hump with Joe Brady? I would bet on them to win a Super Bowl in the next couple years. I just would. because historically, like the great quarterbacks of an era win a Super Bowl. Just think about my life. Steve Young, Troy Aikman, Breffarv, Peyton Manning, obviously Tom Brady, Aaron Rogers, Ben Rothesberger, Patrick Mahomes.

You know, there aren't many guys, if we just look at the last like 25 years, like who's Super Bowl less than is viewed as like a Hall of Fame guy? Drew Breeze, Super Bowl champ. Right? I mean, it's like the Matt Ryan and Cam Newton to me are in like that next tier. Right, they were on individual years, could be great players, individual games, they could be great players. But like Cam Newton or Matt Ryan a Hall of Famer, not for me.

But when you think about the Hall of Famers of the era of Rathusberger, you know, Eli's on the fence. And to me, it's like, if you don't put an Eli in, I'm not going to lose sleep. but all the best quarterbacks won them. So I would bet on Josh winning a Super Bowl. I'm pretty high on Joe Brady. I think he's pretty impressive. You talk about fatherhood, and it's so relatable.

As a father of three with Littles, that had a hard time sleeping. My number one recommendation is the snoo. We got the snoo, and it's actually working well. He's sleeping. Part of it is get to that hump. You know, it's like in training camps. You know, if you play high school football or obviously college football, NFL's now training camp's all that difficult relative to what it was.

No double days. But like you're just like, get us to the week, get us to week one. Or if you're in boot camp or you're in any sort of training, just like there's a finish line. I think that finish line for babies tends to be if you do it right and they kind of, you know, kind of fall into some sort of routine. That kind of 9, 10, 11 week mark. And he's kind of hit that. He's been sleeping way better. I've definitely got some sanity back, that's for sure.

And she's gotten away. I mean, let's be real. I was sleeping way more than her. She's definitely got her sanity back. Question for the bag. What is the best case scenario for the Seahawks in the draft this year? Well, if you look at the last couple years, there's been some really good players there for the Super Bowl winning team.

Two years ago, it was the Chiefs took, well, I guess, I guess that was last year, too. So the Chiefs didn't win it. But let's just take the two teams in the Super Bowl. The Chiefs and the Eagles. One ended up with Josh Simmons, who is, I don't know, a top 10 prospect in that draft.

He just had questions about his knee, but a big time left, like a potential franchise left tackle and Jihad Campbell. Both guys had some injury question marks, but they were big time talents. So I think you never quite know who's going to be there.

I don't think they have any to force a need. You could go with the running back from Notre Dame, not love, but the backup. You could go wide receiver to get a cheap wide receiver in there with JSN. I mean, you can always take offensive or defensive lineman. No one ever complains about that. But I think the world's kind of their oyster. That's the best part about winning a Super Bowl is like,

whoever is the top guy on your board when you're sitting there, take them you know why did the chiefs and the eagles take simmons and jihad campbell because those guys were clearly the best player on their board when they drafted and for those of you that don't know the snoo it's basically a bassinet that is plugged in that oscillates so you know it's there's a reason rocking chairs for babies uh work because if he's freaking out you get on the rocking chair he'll come down you get him in the snoo it starts going like this and it has the uh that ambient, you know, kind of white noise. It's like, I'm not doing it right, but, you know, and he, it works.

New dad to a nine-month-old who's getting huge after being a 34-week preemie. It's crazy how they get big. You know, my son was like seven pounds, and now 10 weeks later, he's 13. He's kind of fat right now. No, in fairness, he can't walk or burn any calories. eating a lot of milk. Why do you say quarterbacks see every penny of their contracts? Even the non-guarantees.

How is this different than, let's say, a wide receiver or a running back? Well, obviously there are examples of quote-unquote franchise quarterbacks that don't see it, right? Tua, Kyler. But look at the league right now. Find me a quarterback that you view as good that has signed a contract extension that hasn't seen every penny. Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Justin Herbert, Joe Burrell. They have not only seen every penny of their contract, they will continue to see every penny.

They're not getting cut. Then you go to that next tier. Hurdy's going to see every penny for the foreseeable future. Dak Prescott, Jared Goff. I mean, Jalen Hertz is kind of the wild card. He's definitely a little bit of a wild card right now. But the majority of guys that you view is top, Jordan Love going nowhere, these guys that are franchise quarterbacks, good quarterback, starting quarterback, Trevor Lawrence, polarizing guy,

like, he ain't going anywhere. So, like, it's pretty rare. That's why when a Kyler or Russell Wilson, obviously, I was wrong in the sense that it does happen, but you have to be a train wreck to get cut, right? Typically, you get traded. So when you look at Tua and Kyler and who's, who's, Russell and Denver. I mean, those are examples of like, look at Deshawn Watson. Now, granted, his contract's fully guaranteed, so it doesn't even matter.

I just think wide receivers and running backs are much more likely to get cut on a yearly basis. But even those guys, like, if you're really good, Google A.J. Brown's career earnings. He ain't getting cut. It's like these guys, most of these guys, DJ Moore just got an extension.

Most of these guys see the majority of the good players see the money. You know, it's, but that, that is 20% of the league. Most of the league is that next 40, 50%, who are like starting players, making good money, but like, ah, maybe he's a little overpaid. Like guys get cut all the time because they're in that kind of middle ground. That's the majority of the league.

Like the majority of the league is not Jergoth, is not Amin-Ross, St. Brown or Pena Sewell, right? The majority of the league is like one of their random defensive. tackles who plays 50% of the snaps the last four years for one of the best teams in the league, the Detroit Lions, right? It's not Aiden Hutchison. That guy's an outlier, right? Aaron Donald, Trent Williams, like those guys see every penny of their contract. And if anything, they always get raises. But most guys are like the guard next to them, Aaron Banks, who gets a big contract from the Packers will get cut if he doesn't step his shit up this year. It'll just,

he will last two years for the Packers and get cut. But if you become a good to obviously a high-end starter, you just don't get cut. If anything, when you need that third race, you get traded. Classic Belichick thing. He always traded those guys in their third contract. Obviously, if you get injured and your play falls off. Huge Eagles fan, but not delusional.

Jalen isn't a perfect player or teammate leader. But it's widely reported over the past year. aware of his leadership style and has actively worked to fix this. Regarding the article, why is this all on Jalen? Didn't we all watch the play calling under Patolo? When Jalen had real legit play callers, Morin-Stykin, he outplayed Mahomes and both Super Bowls. He can clearly play.

It's at least half of this, the product of an incompetent offensive scheme. Also, there's nothing weaker than anonymous source that easily could have been Potolo. Why aren't you and the NFL media looking at it from Jalen's angle instead of crucifying the guy, at least present both sides? Because what the article said is they will tell him to go under center and he will not go. That is well known in NFL circles. He will not go under center and had to be talked to by different people to at least attempt to facilitate that. He will no longer run.

That is something that he does not want to do. So like those things, Kevin got fired. like his head rolled you know jayland's on scholarship right because of his contract so like nothing can happen he's a made man they can't do anything with him and honestly they don't even want to he's kind of set for the next two years the eagles don't want to eat dead cap next year next year's a disaster but when you won't run plays that the coaching staff wants you to run

like and your best attribute beside the deep ball is running not doing it. Well, what are you supposed to say? That, that, to me, like, those sources aren't just Kevin Petulah. It's well established. And this gets back to my AJ

Jalen thing. Like, Jalen's just, when you, you know, the way I took it, and listen, I'm not acting like, AJ's perfect by any means, but I think he is kind of the lone guy willing to, like, I don't give a fuck.

So I will say what I think, because I know none of you guys are going to do it publicly. Obviously, privately, there's been lots of discussions. But I think it has to do a lot with football, right? Like, will not run certain plays. And if you won't get under center, that limits what we can do.

Well, now with this new offense, you've got no choice. And that to me was the bat signal, like, we're doing this. So that stuff that used to happen is not going to fly anymore. And you'd be like, well, why didn't they keep that under wraps? I think they had for a couple years. and you can win with issues. What does winning do? Band-aid the issues.

What happens when you have a weird season and lead the league in three-and-outs and everyone's making funny and people are egging the O.C.'s house. Who is the head coach's best friend? What was the article last year? Jalen and this was after the Super Bowl was budding heads with Siriani. And with Kellyn Moore, they won

because they had one of the greatest running back seasons of all time in an elite defense. When he had stikin, he ran. If he's not going to run anymore, he's going to be an average player. period point blank, unless they lead the league in rushing, which they're going to try to do this year.

I don't know what Jail would say. I mean, he'd probably say like, I don't know. I mean, I think the best people to hear would be from, which they never will when they're on the team, is like, what's Lane Johnson's sake? What's Jordan Mila's take? Sequan's been there for two years? What's his thoughts?

What's Siriani's thoughts? Again, these people will never talk, right? So about the situation. But that to me would be interesting. What are those guys think? Devante Smith, we've heard AJ. Like, Devante, you got any takes? Because I bet they do.

We have some big news. What's the news, name? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast?

Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember.

I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And, well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier.

Jacob Kingston grew up in an isolated polygamous sect. We were God's chosen kingdom on earth. He felt destined for greatness. So when a swaggering Armenian businessman catapults Jacob into an extraordinary world, he doesn't look back. Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, meeting the president of Turkey. I'm Michelle McPhee, and this is one of the most shocking, criminal conspiracies I've ever come across.

When Jacob met Levan, this went to a billion dollar fraud. But with two kings from entirely different worlds, just how long can their empire survive? The largest tax investigation in American history. You need to tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Jacob told Levan, you're ruining my life. Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I love the pod. I watched every episode for the mailback. Why do teams draft multiple receivers in the first round? I understand it's a team only when the Vikings took, it's a team only need when the Vikings took Addison. But when a team has Malik neighbors or a team like the Jets is Garrett Wilson, I cannot understand why they would opt for a wide receiver two in the first when they could take a position

that is less likely to hit in the later rounds. offensive lineman, defensive lineman. Every single year, there are starting receivers going on day two. Yet, teams seem to prioritize the position in such a way they'll use first round picks on a guy who will play second fiddle on Sundays. Because this gets to this. You know, when you say we take the best player available, we do not factor in need.

I do believe that's a little stupid. Because if your best player available is a guard, and you already got two guards, it's like, is there that big of a difference of the other defensive lineman or tight end or wide receiver or corner? But I think sometimes you get to a place where it's like the wide receiver is way better than everyone else on the board. And you don't want to force, well, we need an edge rusher.

Well, we don't love any of these edge rushers here. Now, that's all personal preference. But I think that's typically the situation these teams find themselves into. Because they go, I forget. at where they took Jordan Addison in the 20s, right? 22, 23, 20. It's like, do we need a wide receiver? No. But we think this guy's a baller.

So it's like, I'd have to look at who went after Jordan Addison, but how many guys, let's just do that exercise? Type in Jordan Addison. They took him 23. Let's just rattle off some picks after that. Deontay Banks, quarterback giants, you tell me.

Dalton Kincaid tied in Utah you'd take Jordan Addison Masey Smith DT Michigan you take Addison Jacksonville took Anton Harrison

Oklahoma how many games this guy started as a rookie he started 17 games 24 he star loss so he's been a full-time starter for him

the Eagles took Nolan Smith so it's like would you rather have Nolan Smith than Jordan Addison Joey Porter Jr. But see at at the time, Sam Leporta.

I mean, I don't know. It's, I think it's easier said than done. Now, I'm with you in the top 10. This was Harbaugh's thing. It's like, take Malik neighbors. He's like, no, I'm taking Joel. Like, I think we all agree with that. I think it does get difficult, though,

when you use the Jordan Addison example. Because once you get to the 20s, there's a chance Jordan Addison was their highest player in the board by far. When you're getting those situations, I would say, mistakes happen when you avoid the top player on your board and go, well, we'd be better off taking a pass rusher here. Most of these pass rushes pick 20.

We got in the second round, but just take the highest guy on the board. I think that's where you get in trouble. Your listener should be called the scouts. You're a former scout and your followers now act like content scouts, bringing you mailbag questions and topics for you to break down. I like that. Also, please rank the end. NFC North starting quarterbacks through four going into the upcoming season.

So who do we got? We got Caleb. We got Love. We got Gough. And we got Kyler Murray. Tyler Murray's last. That's a pretty good question. You know, two years ago, I think it would have, you know, golf clearly.

I'd probably go, here's the thing. Caleb's high end is higher than all these guys. but to me he would probably, it's weird. Like he made plays against Jordan Love in the biggest moments that Jordan couldn't make. So, but if you look at Jordan Loves, like to me, Jared Goff's won. He's been doing it now.

I mean, his last three years in Detroit, four years in Detroit, 297, 3012, 37, 12, last year, 348. And, you know, the offensive coordinator was disaster. Now, he can't move like Caleb. but to me he's established one. Now he can be knocked off. I'd probably go.

Jared Goff. I mean, Jordan Love's been doing a little longer. And statistically he's probably better. I don't know. What were Caleb's, I mean, touchdown throws that he's last year. I know he didn't throw that many picks, but he was last year, 27 and 7.7. I think you go Jared Gough, Caleb, Jordan Love,

but to me Caleb and Jordan, like Jordan Love's a good player too. And to me, Kyler's diss and fourth. Pretty good, those three teams feel pretty good by their quarterbacks coming into the season. I think the Lions are going to bounce back. What would you do if you were the Bucks with Baker? Do you extend them or do you let the season play out? And what price do you think he gets? his 27 to 24 with the Bucks in a weak division.

I'm not a Bucks fan, but I'm curious. To me, this is your automatic letter roll. Like, the last year of his contract, weird season last year, he's banged up. He signed a very, very team friendly, that kind of middle ground of a quarterback. Well, guys don't take pay cuts. So if he was going to sign an extension, he would probably want $40 to $45 million a year. to me, best case scenario, Baker throws like 38 touchdowns

and the Bucks win 11, 12 games. You're Jason Light, you're like, okay, no problem. But to me, this is the, we have gotten away, unless you're the elite of the elite, what happened to the play it out? It used to happen in sports nonstop, specifically football, and it doesn't happen as much anymore.

To me, it's an auto play this season out. And who's the best version of Baker? Chip on his shoulder, to prove somebody. You know, this year, it's like, okay, and I was guilty of this too. Put money on him for MVP. 50 to 1, pretty good odds, but he just got banged up and it kind of fell apart. Even early in the season, when did they start like 4 and 1, but they had three of the four games or crazy comebacks in the last minute. They easily could have been like 0 and 5.

I hear so many people say one of the keys to winning a Super Bowl is having a quarterback on a rookie contract so that you can build around them. I think this is part of a quarterback inflation discussion that people have so wrong. Since the 11 CBA, when contracts became predetermined, quarterbacks on a rookie contractor are 2 and 7 in the Super Bowl, with Russell and Patrick being the ones to win it. Russell was elite and had an all-star supporting cast, and Mahomes is an all-time talent with a Hall of Fame career.

I think some believe that if you draft a semi-capable guy, you can put enough pieces around him to win a ring. There is no formula. To winning a Super Bowl and drafting a high ceiling player never means he'll reach the ceiling, especially if you're a franchise like the Jets. They just took some shrapnel there. Here's the thing.

You acted like the five losses, the two and seven, is a bad thing. Like the Patriots making the Super Bowl this year, I know they get their ass kicked in it, but that's an incredible accomplishment. Like, they're really excited for that. That was a big deal. That was a really, really big deal.

So losing in the Super Bowl with a quarterback on a rookie contract is, if the Bears made the Super Bowl next year and lost, or the Broncos had made the Super Bowl this year and lost, it's fucking awesome. Like, that is, that's a win. So I don't view a loss in the Super Bowl with a quarterback on a rookie contract as a bad thing. Making the Super Bowl is really, really difficult to do.

so I would push back a little bit on that one. But I agree. There's no like, if Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are all dominating and bawling, good luck beating them with a rookie quarterback. Why was Collins' biggest take on the Niners last year about having to give up, quote,

huge impact players for Purdy's contract, especially Greenlaw and Newfunga, and now Drake comes back to the Niners and there isn't one word about it. Just find it funny. Terr's ACL, hyped up, walked on, on the field in Super Bowl, Kyle and Lynch let Hufunga and Greenlaw go

because of money, but injury prone. Neither got praise for how good they were before all of it till they let him go. Now Greenlaw's back and no talk on the Warner, reuniting to try to finish unfinished business. Green law was pretty bad last year. So I love

Drey Greenlaw, but there is a chance his body's kind of breaking down. You know, Cohn, Seattle guy. Not that high on the Niners. that's my role here, is to push back on the Niner hate. But the Greenlaw thing, while it is cool and I'm excited, you got to be real about it, it might not work.

A lot of people, have you considered middlemen? I think we've got to call them the middlemen. You guys are middlemen, middle ladies, middlemen. We'd love to know how you think the Rams would approach paying these younger players. In 23, the Rams drafted Puka, Byron Young, Steve Avila, Kobe Turner, and more. I think the Rams will have to make some serious decisions over the next 12 months. Also, I think good name for your listeners would be the middleman.

Well, Pooka's the number one. Like, are we giving them $110, $120 million guaranteed? And that's why he's in this Malibu rehab. I guess it's not truly like a Betty Ford Clinic. It's like a rehab for the elite rich people. Like, I don't think me and you if we're just having a drinking problem or just checking in there. But to me, that's their number one question mark.

But now if you think about it, Stafford, if this is last year, they're going to have some quarterback money open up. Verse, I know statistically hasn't been great, but he's still a very, he's going to be a very, very expensive player. Byron Young's going to get paid. McDuffie just got a huge contract. Huka, but they do have a lot of cheap younger players on both sides of the ball. I don't know.

I mean, this is where it gets difficult. But if Stafford comes off the books and you don't have, I don't know what they're going to do at quarterback. I mean, that's, if Matt Stafford were to, I'm trying to bring up his contract. So right now Matt Stafford signed a two-year, two-year $80 million. So this year, he's,

his cap fits $48 million. The cap is not small. But they did all these void years. So I don't exactly know. The dead cap. They'll also have a dead cap from Matt Stafford over the next couple of years.

How much do they have to pay Matt Stafford? They have to pay Matt Stafford for $40 million a year. In cash this year. So two million bucks. So they would have a big opening when it came to money. Any chance to Juan Jennings ends up on the Chiefs?

This makes it much less of a need to take a wide receiver in the first, second round, and keep juju around for years just for his blocking. I could also see the Chargers as I feel like he fits Harbaugh. I could see the Chargers. I have a hard time. Andy likes speed, right? You got juju. Like, they like explosive players down the field.

So I have a hard time seeing that, unless he comes really cheap. and then he's basically like a version of Kelsey, you know, playing in the slot, using his body over the middle of the field, big on first downs. But that's kind of Kelsey's role. I mean, Kelsey does, Kelsey is the Hall of Fame version of Joanne Jennings.

Big, physical, great over the middle of the field, incredible on third down, great in the red zone. I mean, he kind of has that role already marked cornered on the Chiefs. From Nashville area, I love the pod. I listen every morning on the way to work. I'm a law enforcement officer in a similar county as far as crime to Jupiter, Florida. I bring this up because of what you said about Tiger Woods being in a jail cell.

My county that I work in has had multiple athletes, Jay Cutler, Shaq Mason, some country singers, Darius Rucker, and others. I get the same question every time and it cracks me up. People ask me if they're in general pop. And it makes me laugh. These guys go to jail for literally five minutes. They have the best attorney who no joke goes and walks them to the jail cell. Athletes and celebs getting arrested in wealthy counties who don't have a lot of crime is so different than the public thinks. Jeffrey Dahmer is not hanging out in a county jail cell mixing it up with Tiger Woods. Yeah, I mean, I guess Tiger because of a DUI,

Tiger has like a criminal history. Tiger's had some incidents, especially in the car. But I hear you, like you, one of these guys gets a little trouble. Wallen throwing the chair off. Jerry's, Jerry's got a Dewey in Nashville. Is that what happened to Cutler too? Aren't there some rules if you get a Dewey and you're drunk? Do you have to stay in the drunk tank until you sober up or you can blow a zero zero?

That's got to be got to suck when you kind of come to and you sober up and you got the pounding headache and you're blowing. But I'm with you. People always think that one, my question is this. Like you said, if you were in a rich county or in a rich area, right well what typically in those areas not as much crime what do you think they're like the county jail cell where the people that patrol that area looks like probably a little different than like east oakland right south central la uh the hood and phoenix you know it's like this it ain't the same

if i turn the corner tonight and got a DUI i'm not even going to have a cocktail but the total hypothetical no drink and driving here and i got hauled off to the wherever in North Scottsdale, it'd probably be a little different vibe than if I went, you know, 45 minutes that way toward Glendale and Phoenix. So I hear what you're saying.

The Tiger stuff, honestly, for me, and again, maybe it's like the little kid in me. I loved watching him so much. He meant so much to entertainment. And maybe it's as a father. You know, I found it really cool, you know, in this latter part of the,

last like four or five years, him playing in that father-son tournament with Charlie. May I'm just a sucker for that? I got no joy in any of this. I really didn't. People just making fun of them, the whole thing. Like, I just, not for me. You know, it's not for me. I'm not condoning anything, not condoning anything.

But I usually love shit like that. This is one of those things that people, All my friends, million text chains, sending me from the line, like, when he's like, sir, come over here. You can't be on the phone over there. And when he walks by, he's like, just talking to the president. I mean, that's truly one of the greatest lines in body cam footage. But the stuff where he's like in the back, I just, not for me.

Not for me. It's sad. Also, though, I don't see why people can't comprehend. this. He has had his back fuse together. He does not have a normal leg. I mean, there's a decent chance. He's got like a prosthetic thing going on down there. His other knee was completely destroyed. I think he said when he got the, they should have a different name for DUI. Because when you say DUI, I think drunk. When I, when I hear pills or weed or under the influence of other stuff, it should be, is that DWI driving with influence? I just,

wish there was a different, whatever he was doing. Do you understand that Tiger has been playing? I told some of us the other day. It's like golf isn't just his life. It's the only thing he's ever done. Since two years old, he was on television hitting a golf ball. He literally started playing and dominating. So it's like, yeah, paid man.

He started throwing a football when he was five or six. How good was he at 12? You know, okay, it's one thing to get good in high school. Tiger Woods was a fucking prodigy at like six. It's his entire life. And then as he became a professional, the other thing that came into his life was working out.

So he truly does, besides his family, two things. They're like, make him go. Working out and playing goal. He could not do any of those, which is just any, those two, without the pills, with all the surgeries. Like if me or you were in that position,

we would never play golf or lift weights. Why our body wouldn't be able to handle it. but that's like the only thing he can do because that's how he's wired because without golf who the fuck is tiger woods and that's why i think when you know who knows he's going out of country he's clearly very i don't even think insecure is the wrong word because he's not wrong about the privacy thing he doesn't trust anybody he thinks anywhere he goes things will become public and again he's not wrong but if they like if you think that he is just going to acknowledge you can no longer take the opioids

that make him feel better and allow him to practice and play golf and attempt to come back and lift weights. Like, again, I think it's going to be way more challenging than, like, who can a coup at this thing? It's like, yeah, bro, maybe alcohol ain't for you. Like, you can not have a sip of alcohol. You can become completely sober and dominate your career. Tiger, if he goes like, all you can have is Advil.

It's like, well, your golfing career is done. It's like, well, why doesn't he just retire? Easier said than done. It's all he's ever done. It's it. It is like his defining attribute as a human being, being able to play golf. He literally in that photo, which I'm fascinated by, he has golf shoes on.

Clearly, I mean, he's a member of probably every country club down there. typically, someone that drives back and forth from the golf course, I either do two things. One, if you're at a club, you know, and you have a locker, you just leave your shoes in the locker. Or two, I put my shoes in the trunk, like his range. I got Tahoe, pop the trunk, put my clubs back there, put my shoes, grab my sandals, right?

Or it was colder, grabbing my tennis shoes. I've never, that I can remember, driven in golf shoes. He was in his golf shoes. And it was pretty clear he was coming. home from the golf course. Maybe he said he was going there. I forget. Because again, I couldn't listen to it. But it's like, who drives in their golf shoes? Hager's money clip was a paper clip. One of those things, the paper, the thing that like holds paper together. Like, Tiger, what are you doing? He also, and again, I saw a lot of still shots. People are, I mean,

I've gotten a million things forward to me about Tiger Woods. I've been a money clip guy now for probably a decade. And obviously you go on stretches where you don't even have cash on you. If I'm going to have cash, I would never have ones on the outside. It just wouldn't exist. I either have 20s on the outside or nothing. I would just put the ones or the fives in my pocket, right, if I don't have a 20 on the outside. Now, you could have five, seven ones, two tens, and a 20 on the outside to make it look thick. Tiger had ones on the outside. It was like, what? This guy's, Tiger's a weird cat, man

He's a weird cat But if you think that he's just going cold turkey On the stuff that allows him To do the two things that literally Make him go Golf and working out Because if he goes cold turkey No more of the good stuff

And again, I'm not Get a driver or whatever But at this point Here's the other thing I've thought way too much about this Tiger Woods problem Is he is notoriously cheap and I've said this forever about people in the NFL, some of these owners.

It is a disease. It obviously doesn't affect, it can't kill you. I mean, it could, I guess, if you deny care on stuff. But it's something you never shake. And you don't go to, you don't go to Malibu with Pooka and Kua to fix that. So when you're super cheap, you go, I don't need to do that. He should have had a guy for decades on staff that his, only role was to drive the guy around. And 25 years ago, could have paid him 80 grand,

70 grand, maybe paid his apartment bill. Tiger wouldn't even notice it. And at this point in time, 20, 25 years later, the guy would have been like your big dong. He would have been like family, probably be on the payroll for like million bucks a year. Again, a number Tiger wouldn't even notice, let's say 500 grand. You bought his house in Jupiter. Wherever you go, he comes with you. whenever you want to do something, he's there with you. But it goes back to being cheap. Like Tiger's got some of these buddies

who are clearly on the payroll. They ain't fucking pulling their weight. I'll tell you that much. And it's why early on, before the privacy was even talked about, you know, back in the late 90s, early 2000s, should have happened. And he wouldn't have that problem.

You know, you've never heard about getting to Dewey? Michael. You know, you don't see you driving a car that option? Michael. I think LeBron is driving around? I think a lot of these guys are driving around. I like driving as much as the next guy. But these are easily avoidable.

When again, think about this. Paying someone a million dollars, these people are in a situation where they would not notice. Where it would be like me or you giving someone 100 bucks, 20 bucks. Maybe you're doing well, a thousand bucks. Don't even notice. but you're at this point in time is too late.

It's not even possible. He's too famous. He's like, I mean, at this point, he's Elvis, Michael Jackson. I mean, I think he's, I personally think he's the most famous athlete in my life. After probably Michael than him. The difference between him and Michael, though, is because we're talking worldwide.

You know, like Tom Brady ain't famous worldwide like these guys. LeBron, Steph, but it's like, to me, Michael and Tiger were famous before the fucking internet existed. Before, uh, you know, Amazon Prime was broadcast in Lakers Thunder. That was a good game. All right, fellas, let's be real. Bind men's jewelry used to be a nightmare.

What's the news, name? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed two. First people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there.

But this one's extra special. So how did we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes.

I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast. People could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

And sometimes my wife will listen to. On that note, my wife and I have been making a list of last activities we want to do before a baby is born in May. For example, going to a theater to see a movie. is there anything other than sleep you and your wife misdoing you wish you had done a couple more times before your son arrived? I was going to say you should just spend a weekend and just call the weekend sleep and just don't even get out of bed. It's a good question. Like the ability to just be like,

hey, you want to go to dinner tonight? Doesn't exist. Not saying, I mean, we went out to drinks the other day and what happened? he got super hungry you know when appetizers came out took a gigantic just dumping his pants 10 minutes after that

started screaming so it's I would say basic things of life that you take for granted I see some of these memes on Instagram they're so true having a baby is then just asking you and your spouse

if it's okay to do normal things like I look at her can I go to the gym or she look at her at me like can you hold him so I can take a shower? So it's it's just a and it's a good whirlwind.

I mean it's hard, but it's hard. Like there's no, to me, just basic things like the movie theater. But I would say dinner as well. Like just go out to dinner when you're like, oh, you want to go tonight at six, seven? You know, it's like you can't even have those conversations for the first seven, eight weeks. It's a lot.

Now some people are different. I know I have more quote unquote social friends whose life didn't really change. But, you know, it's just, it's hard to just, you just don't have as much free time. So whatever you guys like doing in your quote unquote free time, obviously every person's different. Try to do some of that. Jim from Australia, just want to clear up some of the info you are giving regarding the Australia game in September. In September, Australia is out of daylight savings, and the U.S. is in daylight savings, so there is a 17-hour difference between the U.S. coast and Melbourne, Australia.

LAX to Melbourne Direct is 15 and a half hours. United to SFO Melbourne is also 15 and a half hours. In September, when flying from the U.S. to Australia, you will lose a day. So if you leave on a Friday night, U.S., you will arrive Sunday morning in Australia, going from Australia to the U.S. Uganda day. So leaving Melbourne Friday morning, you arrive back on the U.S. Friday morning. So what have I been saying?

17 hours? Kyle said 19 hours. Yeah, I don't. That's to get on a flight for 15, 16 hours, that's in the air, right? So even if they chartered the plane, loading the plane, I mean, you're talking about a 16 and a half, 17 hour operation.

It's when flying from San Francisco to LAX is 40 minutes. And they're in San Jose. I've never even made that flight. Maybe wheel to wheel up to touching down, maybe it's like 38 minutes in a private jet to be really short. But even in a big plane, no more than 45 minutes. So when you tell these guys that it's like, you're playing the Rams and your travel is going to be long.

So they are going to, if they play on Wednesday, or I guess they play Thursday, so it's Friday. It is already too confusing for me. But they're going to have to go out. I bet both teams go out, I don't know, Saturday, Saturday or Sunday, you know, for us for the Friday game. so they would try to be there the next day.

Again, I'm already too confused. Even watching Kyle talk, it's confusing. The Rams don't love it either, I'm sure, but they clearly like avoiding that home game and just giving it a weird neutral side game. Daily listener, what do the Colts do with Anthony Richardson? As a Colts fan,

who is still a believer in his physical traits and he is still super young, what can happen? I've always kind of given him a path, for the tap-out situation because the play he tapped out on, he got smashed on a run that hit directly on his leg he just recovered from an injury from. So I assumed it was a health thing. The physical ability potential is undeniable. Is there any way this can work out with the Colts considering the Daniel Jones situation? I heard Chris Ballard say that nothing is imminent,

that he wants to trade and he understands it. I do think my guess is he's traded sometime during the draft. But I don't think he's going to get a shot to start. You know, I think that ship's kind of sailed. You know, to me, he's kind of in that Tray Lance world of like, kind of got his start or he kind of got a shot. It really wasn't that much play. He's way more talented than Tray Lance physically.

Bigger arm, better athlete. But, you know, the one thing Tray Lance had going for him, people just like him. You know, people just really, and he works really hard. You know, people was like, does this guy know what's going on? Now, maybe that was a wake-up call. Maybe that's changed. Obviously, you had the bad luck with the band hitting him in the face and shattering his orbital bone.

My guess is a team. You know, there were rumors of the Packers. Someone like that takes a shot and tries to work with them as a backup. I think it makes a lot of sense for the Packers. But part of it, too, is like, okay, I trade. When they traded for Malik Willis, Malik Willis knew he was a backup. And when I trade for Anthony Richardson, like, you're not the starting quarterback.

You're starting career is over right now. Doesn't mean it can change in the future, but you're not a starter right now. So if you don't have that in your head, like you've got to change your mindset. And that's what I don't know. Huge bills fan. I'm hoping they're aggressive in the early rounds of the draft.

Rumors the bills might trade up for an edge rusher. How are picks value? Is something like a trade up with the Vikings for their 26 first and second round picks for the bills, 26, 27 first round pick feasible? That was confusing. So basically, is something like a trade-up with the Vikings for their first and second For the Bill's 26 and 27 first round picks feasible to basically get yourself more picks?

It is, but I think if you want a guy, right, they're drafting in the middle, I forget your exact number, you want to move up. Sorry, that was confusing for the listeners. Confusing for me too. I think what they'd be more inclined to do is go from, I'm trying to go to their draft pick here. So the bill's pick 26. The Vikings pick

18. If you wanted to go from 26 to 18, you would probably have to give next year's first round pick. But, like, why would you just stay at 26? Like, who's sitting there that's going to, the pressure on that guy would be immense.

So if I'm the bills, like part of having Josh Allen making a lot of money, and they got some other guys making some coin, is you've got to utilize the draft picks that you do have. So this year, let's pull up how many picks they got. The Buffalo Bills. You don't have a second.

So you got a first, a third, a fourth, a fifth, a fifth, a sixth, a seventh. I mean, one thing you could probably do is trade in next year's two. Trade like your fourth this year and next year's two to get a second round pick. I mean, you can manipulate it for sure. I'm a huge Seahawks fan. And since winning the Super Bowl, I feel like the Seahawks are still hardly talked about and still not getting respect they deserves for being champs,

considering their dominance all season as well as their path through the playoffs. That being said, if you were to put the 25 champion Seahawks against the Seahawks that won it all in 24 or 14, how do you think that plays out? Can you break down the matchup a bit? I thought John Schneider said it pretty well. I forget maybe on local radio in Seattle.

I just saw the clip somewhere in the fall. Or actually might have been after the, during the playoffs or maybe after the playoffs. He said the big difference is that team felt like they hated everybody that was in their path. And like, he was like Richard Sherman got mad at me still to that day for like passing on him in the draft till the fifth round. Like Richard, you're on the team now making a lot of money.

The point is like they were a violent, edgy. just they played like it. I do think the 14 team was better. Like I would bet on Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, Cam Chancellor, but again, they couldn't play. Their style was putting people in body bags, essentially, right?

In the training room, knocking them out, you can't really play like that. If you could play those rules, that that team was a problem. In these rules, yeah, I mean, to me the rules matter. You know, I think Sam Darnold and Russell Wilson probably pretty similar.

You know, Russell wasn't that good then. He made some big plays, but it's not like he was some consistent player. He got better and became, quote, unquote, his star version a couple years later. Marshawn was, I mean, a much better player than Kenneth Walker. Pete Carroll, Mike McDonald. I mean, that's like Pete Carroll in his heyday. It was Dan Quinn as the defensive coordinator. Mike McDonald, Kubiak.

Coaching probably coin flip. I mean, it's Pete's resumes longer. He'd been doing it long, but Mike's a star. And Kubiak's a stud. So you'd say that's, I feel like the peak Seattle. And I wonder if John over a beer would say that team was better. This team's probably more fun to be around. Like that team was pissed off at the world.

But that was kind of the NFL back then. Everyone was kind of pissed off of the world. The NFL, it does feel because of the, the violence, a little bit less of an edge. I don't want to say country club, because it's still a violent game. But it's definitely closer to the country club field than it was like prison rules. And right then it was changing a little bit. Like if you go back to Raven Steelers, like 2007, I mean, that's 20 years ago now.

You watch a game like that. I remember being in the league watching Raven Steelers thinking like, is this safe? I remember going to some Niner Seattle games, you know, with like the Harbaugh, Pete Carroll teams. It's a little different now. Like no one, you might get hurt, but it doesn't feel like unsafe to play. It was, you take the field with Cam Chancellor

or try to tackle Marchand, like, it's not safe. So I give the nod to the 14 team. But you know the best part about being champions and having a team that, like, wins multiple championships? is you start comparing your championships to your previous years championships. It's like, who's better

Kobe Powell or like Kobe Shaq or like Magic and Kareem? You start doing all the matchups, right? And they're like different generations of players. Hey, it's us to Jonas Brothers and guess what? We have some big news. What's the news? Huge news.

We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just control. The first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend.

But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down?

Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast. for people could call in and say, hey Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

SNL's Mikey Day and headwriter Streeter Seidel help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and friends on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts,

Highlights are trending, opinions are flying, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened. That's where Sports Slice comes in. I'm Timbo. Every episode, we're cutting through the noise. Breaking down the plays, the controversies,

and the stories behind the headlines. We go straight to the source, the athlete themselves. Their locker room stories, their reactions, the stuff nobody gets to hear. The laughs, the drama, the triumphs, the moments that never make the highlight real. From viral moments to historic games, from buzzer beaters to controversial calls, we break it down, give you context and ask the questions everybody wants answered. Sports slice brings you closer to the action with stories told by the people who live them. Listen to Sports Slice on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

with a staff of trainers can't be prepared after a long flight a day or two in advance seems far-fetched. Because you're at a huge advantage if I'm playing on Sunday and your team, if I'm in Los Angeles, and I'm playing the Patriots or the Bucks or vice versa, and I got to fly five hours away. Think about when you fly. What's the number one thing that happens if you're doing any sort of physical activity when you win? Dehydration.

So dehydration with these guys who are finely tuned athletes And a lot of them soft tissue issues And they play a sport that is very physically demanding So the recovery lost on a plane flight And here's the other thing You have a football traveling party Even if you're chartering a jet It's not like you have unlimited first class seats

It's like you have unlimited space You're still packing a lot of people into into a tube. So I think it's more like, you never hear. The Eagles don't complain about playing the Giants. Seattle doesn't complain about playing the 49ers. The Raiders and the Chargers don't complain about playing each other.

Where you do complain, it's like, oh, short week, and I got to play Monday night football, and I'm the Raiders against the Falcons. Think about yourself, getting in a plane flight and travel. Yeah, you can hydrate and stuff. it's still, you just had a disadvantage. So I don't think it's a complaint like, we can't win or this will derail our game.

But it's a, it's especially these international games. I think it has a lot to do with dehydration. I think that's a number one key. And also just the time wasted that you could be recovering, relaxing, that you're just in this uncomfortable seat, even if it is a decent seat. Obviously, they do have some first-class seats, but in the NBA, you charter a jet.

You don't need that much space for your traveling party, so they all get really comfortable seats. And even then, you're in. Who wants to travel, right? Once you're there traveling's cool. To me, the shittiest part about traveling anywhere is always the airport and the plane flight. Now, these guys just don't go to an airport.

I mean, they go to an airport, but they go through a gate park, and they walk up to the jet. But still, it's I guess we'll end on this for today. Going to Scottsdale on business the week after Easter. What are your top three restaurants? Where you're going on business, I actually gave this one out to Howie

when he was coming in because it was like, you guys are taking your wives out? He was taking a bunch of GMs and their wives out. I said, I would go to El Choro. It's in Paradise Valley. The backdrop of El Choral, It's like an old school restaurant It's been there for like

I think like 70, 80 years The Cliff Kingsbury picture Of the mountain behind them, that's the mountain It's behind this restaurant Now if you're going for business Right up the hill on the mountain Is this hotel Kind of swanky hotel

A little bougie Called the sanctuary Food's pretty solid But the vibes are cool The bar's cool My favorite restaurant I mean if you're going like Steakhouse

Would be Dominix, again, pretty bougie, pretty, like, I mean, it's a nice steakhouse. If you want kind of steakhouse, but also some other options, Mastro's Ocean Club, which is also up by Dominix in that Kierland area. I've said this forever. Houston's is not nearly as like bougie and swanky. If you're in Paradise Valley close to Old Town, I haven't been there on way too long. It's incredible.

The mission is one in Old Town that's pretty sick. Chipotle maybe Those would be my go-to Sanctuary's a pretty sweet bar though Depends where you are too Like if you're in North Scottsdale You know they got some bars Of some of these golf courses

So like Greyhawk They have this bar called Isabella's That's just a happening spot You can see the golf course behind it You can see the range It's cool Or you can go to the other side called Phil's

which is Phil Mickelson's grill, just a good vibe. So it just depends, which again, it's like you can wear a t-shirt and shorts there. Okay, we'll end with that. We'll do part two tomorrow. The volume. Hey, guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe.

I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts.

We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but, you know, tired and sick. Tired and sick.

Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.
