I'll sit here and bring the good vibrations.

You know what I mean? Shouting out all the California girls, Beach Boys style. I wanted to bring this up because I saw that four legendary movies have come out on this day, June 11th. Now, I want to go around the room and I want to see if it's clear that we have an order of these four movies. Okay. Four movies we've all seen all four.

But if I said rank these movies, I wonder if you in like Iowa Sam or Danny would have a completely different order. Let's go back to 1982. E.T. Phone home. E.T. Actually, he never says that. It's a fun of fact. Mendela effect.

E.T. Home phone. No one has a home phone anymore, so. Home phone. We don't got one, E.T. I'll be right here. So, E.T. Such a great movie. Came out on this day in 1982.

If you want to go to 1986, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Ooh. Bueller? We talked about that last Thursday. day. June 11th was the date, right? That was his actual... Yeah, was the release date of the movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In 86,

85, yeah, was the date, same day, Rich played hooky last week. That's true. So, actual day off, yeah. E.T. 1982, Ferris Bueller, 1986. 1999 on this day. Yeah, baby. Do I make you Randy?

Is he talking about Randy Johnson or Randy Quaid? Randy Valardi. Oh, okay, yeah. It's a misconception. Everyone thinks it's got to be the big unit. But now, Yankee Utility Infielder, Randy Vallardi, number 18. So Austin Powers on this day. So I think I just named three movies of our childhood. Yeah, but so far, the order is clear as hell. E.T. Ferris Bueller, Austin Powers, and the fourth movie that came out on this day.

Let's go to the 2000s, 2004, 21 years ago. Napoleon Dynamite. vote for Pedro Make yourself a cassadilla Very good movie That was a turning point in humor by the way That's when I realized Humor's changing a lot

Because I didn't like the movie at first Now I love it Cult classic Uberly successful Considering the budget it was made on Napoleon Dynamite Voted for Pedro Did all that stuff

The order is clear Was that the last time you voted Or did you vote for Bo Bice on American Idol I forget both. The order's simple. I wonder if we have the same one or it's completely different.

Where do you want me to start? From best to worst. Let's start worst to first. Worst to first. What do you? Spider Harrison. Are you Casey Casey? Coming in at number four.

Coming in number four based out of Iowa. Idaho is Napoleon Dynamite. I agree. Number four is Napoleon Dynamite. As much as I like it. Yeah. I say that respectfully.

Coming in at number three. Austin Powers. No. Absolutely. No way. You're out of your mind. Let me finish my list. Okay.

Covering it number two, Ferris Bueller's day off. And by far not even close. E.T. number one. E.T. is a magical mammothian movie of the 80s. As great as Ferris Bueller is, and it's one of the classics.

We discussed that recently. E.T. is on a number. level of cinematic masterpiece that goes down in history. It's so heart-wrenching. You can only watch it here and there. Ferris Bueller's on all the time. E.T. was also kind of creepy, though, for us when we were little kids. You know, our order is not.

Some people were scared. Our order is not terribly different. Because of the scientists, remember, and the big suits they had on in those tunnels? It was a little scary. It was. But it was magical. There was a, is there a universal, was there a universal ride for Ferris Bueller? I see absolutely no.

There was a ride for E.T. For years and you're flying on your bicycle, riding across the moon with E.T. Give me a break. Ferris Bueller's great, but it's a number two here. A child known as True Barrymore. Reese's Pieces getting their big break because Eminems was like, nah, the aliens are scary.

So many great stories behind the movie. I didn't have Ferris Bueller bed sheets. My list is slightly different. Napoleon Dynamite's definitely number four. Yeah, they're all great, though. So let's be clear. I'm at. They're all good for what they are. I think Ferris Bueller number three.

Okay. You forget that Austin Powers that was a big deal. Mike Myers. That's number two. But E.T. Home phone. Phone home. E.T. is a heartbreaker. Which makes me want to remind everyone, I've sat down

with my kids. My kids are eight and five. I'm surprised because I knew you were always a Mac and me kind of guy. I love Mac and Me too. I would put that number one. I have sat down with my kids. We've watched Goonies together. Yeah. And I'm trying to go through all the classics.

E.T's a touchy one because like Danny G. said, it's going to be a roller coaster of they're scared. They're going to cry at the end. Goonies is a little scary. The first time my sister, Dawn, yes, Sloth is a little scary. There's a little scariness of one-eyed Willie and all that. My sister, Dawn, when she was a little kid, wept, wept when she saw E.T. Like, uncontrollable. Like, Dawn, it's going to be all right.

It's an emotional movie for a little kid. So I just want to remind everyone some of these classics, it's interesting to see what stands the test of time. My kids really liked Goonies. My wife insisted that they watch Homeward Bound. They like that, too. It's like Wizard of Oz. It's a little touchy because it's magical but is scary with the wit.

For little kids, there's a time and place. My daughter watched Wizard of Oz before I took her to see Wicked. She's eight, which I thought was around the Red Age. That's a good age. And I'm shocked that I haven't even thought to be. break out E.T. Now you put that number one. So we agree on that.

Yeah. At first I thought, have an order that differs or? At first I thought E.T. and Austin Powers were close because you're out of your mind. But you forget the influence. What is a goofy-ass movie? That isn't even number two,

but whatever. So one is a comedy. First of all, comedies will never be in that category, but doesn't even come close to E.T. Okay. And the magical feeling it gave to every little kid in the 80s that wanted to ride their BMX across the sky. No, man, we don't have to fight about it.

Jeez, I'm kidding. Does anybody else agree or disagree? Yeah, I think Austin Powers and Napoleon are close at four and three. Yeah. Wow. I'm going to give the edge to Napoleon Dynamite, though, because, like, at home, we quote that movie more often, and I think it just left more of an impact. It's funny, man.

Yeah. Danny Gee, not down with the FemBots? No, I mean, I liked Austin Powers. And then I would go E.T. It's not mine, baby. And Ferris Bueller, number one. one. Wow. Okay. I could see that. I mean, we talked about it last week how how huge that movie is. We said it was the number one comedy drama, teen comedy drama of the 80s. So I could see that,

but E.T is like upper echelon cinematic masterpiece. What's up, D.B? I also feel that there's this interesting dichotomy, if you will, between E.T. and what Napoleon Dynamite is and how they were made, who they were made by. And everything that. that came with it. So I think that E.T. is this machine. Well, part of what made Napoleon Dynamite great was the simplicity of it in that aspect. Yeah. They barely spend any money to make it.

Yeah. So that's what I find is interesting in all of this. I had Ferris, Mueller, number one. I would put Napoleon Dynamite 2 on my list because I feel I reference it more than I do anything of Austin Powers. Yeah, see? And I was just too, I wasn't too young for E.T. I remember, but in these other three movies would be like Wheelhouse of Teenager, Early 20s They were rewatches where E.T, you might have seen twice in your life.

Correct. Not to date myself. And I know it's shocking being how young and spry and handsome I look and everything, but I remember seeing E.T. in the theater. Yeah. Do what are you, 80? Yeah, I did. So as a little 80s kid, I was like, this is the greatest movie. I was trying to hold back my bottle tears.

You were the first to try Reese's piece. I had my little red sweatshirt Man, I wanted to be like Elliot Well, on this day, they all came out Now, before we get to James Winston So this is like a magical movie day Yeah, before we get to James Winston

And some NFL and some NBA finals Does each of those four movies have Phone Home? E.T. Phone Home. See, he does say it. Phone home. What? I thought he says Home Phone. I thought there was a Mandela effect there. I think in the part where he's in the bedroom with Elliot He says home phone.

See, look at you. Confensing me. Yeah. Remember he got twisted, too. Remember how drunk he got that guy? Remember when the flower came back to life? I remember as a little kid being like, like, like crying.

Well, Elliot starts with an E, ends with a T. E.T. They're synced up. Yeah. The boy, because, like, their health is aligned. Yeah. Magical movie. Is there a, obviously we said E.T. phone home.

Are there, is there a quote from each of those movies? We're like, that's the quote. Is Ferris Bueller, life moves pretty fast? I'll be right here as is. I'll be right. Well, no, E.T. phone home is the one everybody says. So I'd say probably that. From Austin Powers is, yeah, baby, yeah.

There is a quote from the beginning of E.T. Where Elliot calls his brother something very offensive. Yes, blank breath. Yes, the absolute funniest thing I've ever heard. It's an insult that will live on forever. I call Rich Dad all the time. There's so many from Napoleon. dynamite.

Yes. If the kids are complaining there's nothing to eat, my wife will always say, go make yourself a damn cassidella. Oh, man. It's your steak, Tina. If you vote for me, all of your wildest dreams will come true. That's the one I say the most. Yeah, the Pedro.

How many times do we say I could throw football over the mountains? Yeah, good one. Do you know how many people are just realizing that Uncle Rico is the dude from the White Lotus? Yeah. People haven't put that together. Uncle Rico is, is it Gary? Is that who it is Jerry Gary from The White Lotus. Is that the character's name?

What? I don't think that guy's had a lot of roles. I don't think he has any hair in White Lotus, right? Exactly. He's bald in the White Lotus. And honestly, in Napoleon Dynamite, he looks like he's wearing a wig there too. But yeah, my, he's the same guy. Oh, right.

What's the quote from Ferris Bueller then? Is it life moves pretty fast, or is it just Bueller? He's a righteous team. I think it is Bueller. I think it's Ben Stein. You know what? You know, it might be. You're right.

Because honestly, that's the one you might quote the most. Because if someone's not here, like, where's Danny? He would be like, Bueller? Like, you would say that till his day. All right. So, and by the way, I think it's Greg from the White Lotus is Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite. Both for Pedro. Both for Pedro.

Hey, you know what? Did the chickens have large talons? That's my favorite quote. Do the chickens have large talons? Maybe we have to watch a magic one of those magical movies after the, the NBA finals game three tonight. Or if O.KC is up 25 at halftime, you can watch E.T. tonight with your kids. Yeah, but E.T, you got to bust out the

popcorn. Everyone's got to shut up. You got to pay attention. No talking over the movie. No busting out the phone. You know what I mean? It's one of those special ones. Now, we ended yesterday's show with this. So we have to continue today. We got to talk overpromise. By the way, if you have any thoughts on these movies, He's 87799 on Fox. But we talked about James Winston

and what a colorful guy he is and how funny he is and how great he is just as a personality. The story was that former New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram shared that James Winston once gave a speech that started with the prayer. So you can

imagine that, right? They're all praying. He's doing his thing. But the prayer ended. Yeah, you can totally see him doing that. The prayer ended with him singing the Monday night football theme song. So talk

about a roller coaster, again, of emotions. He went from Ephesians 432 to Faith Hill. Yeah. Are you ready? He went from Corinthians to Hank Williams Jr. And that's James Winston in a nutshell. Hey, I'm in a nutshell.

Great Austin Powers quote. Hey, loop it back around. Yeah. I'm actually done. Come back. There you go. So now based on that because that sounds kind of odd there's been some great speeches in sports history in TV history but we want to go over some of the worst ones because how could you take anybody serious when they're doing this full on prayer into that goofiness which is the theme song and again I get it loosening everybody up it's fun it's memorable it's all those things but based on that some of the worst speeches that come to mind

Did he do the Monday night theme in spoken word? Like, are you ready for some football? A Monday night party? We got Frank, Al, and Dan to get a kickstarting. Like, did he say it in word or song? I don't know. It says, oh, singing. Singing.

It ended with him singing the Monday night football theme song. You can imagine what the other teammates must have been thinking, like watching this go down. But this guy's so in his zone as we've come to notice in the past few years. So that's the story. of James Winston told by Mark Ingram and when it comes to by the way it ties into your previous discussion rich about the movies

when you think about the worst speeches the one that comes to mind I think for most people and correct me if I'm wrong because we open it up to everybody 87799 on Fox I think the worst speech is from one of my favorite movies didn't come out on this day but we all saw

the wedding singer Steve Bouchemi at Cindy Scott and Cindy's wedding Whoopin' do Yeah, when Steve Buscemi does his speech I think that's everybody's reference to like the worst speech ever Because it's so often

When my brother, Harold asked me to be the best man at his wedding I was like, oh, of course, man Because you've always been there for me That's right When I was in rehab And like the time I couldn't find my car Because Harold, you know, he's always been the dependable one

And I've always been the screwed up one Right, Dad? Why can't you be more like your brother? Harold would never beat up his landlord He's a friend But, uh, little newsflash, pop Harold ain't so perfect Remember that time in Puerto Rico

When we picked up those two I guess they were prostitutes, but I don't remember paying. Okay, how about that? How about that? Yeah, I'm one. Terrific. I'm a person, too, Bob. I'm a person too.

You're a moron. Okay. The best man, everybody. Best man, the better man. And it's so great. He, like, stumbles off the stage. Like, the way he falls is so great. Like, Steve Bouchemmy own that worst, best.

man speech ever. I think that's a lot of our generations go to when you have the thought of worst speeches ever. It could be in your personal life, it could be from a movie, it could be something you saw at a sporting event, could have been in a huddle you were in. Yeah, bro, did you see that clip from like a month ago on social media where the dudes at his anniversary party, but he knows his wife was cheating on him? It was his 40th birthday. Oh, was his 40th birthday? Yeah. It was the fireman from New Jersey, if I'm not mistaken. He was from, is it Bayonne or Belleville or Bloomfield? I forget where he was from, but yeah, he's celebrating his 40th.

And everyone at first thinks he's goofing around. He's like, yeah, I know. Nick Galante. I know. Because you're a hoo-ah! And he goes off saying, like, I know you did this. I know you did that. And he goes off on the wife.

And everyone's like, oh, my God, is this for real? And he used that opportunity. He went viral. Yes. It broke the internet, as they say. Jersey Fireman, and it was an absolutely true story. When things like that happen, your first thought is, this is stage. This is fake.

This is for the clicks for the gram. But this was a real one. Look, I'm from Jersey and it got around where everyone's like, yeah, I know that dude. And yeah, it's real. And this is what happened. Absolutely real story. If you haven't seen it, it's the most awkward thing you've ever seen. Because everyone's there to celebrate the guy.

And he pulls a bus shami. Like, yeah, yeah. Thank you, everybody for coming out to my in-laws. I love you guys. And everybody, can you believe we're all here? And by the way, I know. No, you know what he does? He has her like there and he gets down and he takes her ring off and says he has a new one for her.

But he does. Yeah, and he takes it and he's like, yeah, I know what she did and this and that and calls her out real awkward, man. That has to be down in the history books. I will say this. The key to speeches while we take your feedback, I think is not to make it about yourself at all. I know it was a movie, but before he even went off, what makes the Steve Bouchemmy thing, funny and relatable is that we've all been somewhere where someone does a speech and somehow they start making it about them

all the time every time I always find that odd when like It's the most awkward part of the wedding Even when a bride's maids made's like I remember when me and Jessica were in second grade We were at my house for a slumber party It's like no one cares about you or your slumber party We're here for her wedding to that dude

Wish him well toasted and call today Let me please express this I don't think I've ever said this on Fox Sports Radio People who know me and have grown with the show on Patreon know this, but that's why I got married in Vegas, and El Vez was there. The whole formality of the speeches and first dances, I get

it, special and all that, but it's so awkward to me, it makes my stomach turn, so I wanted to avoid all of that. So you thought having El Vez marry you was better? I just wanted to get it out of the way, dude. I didn't want to deal with any of that stuff, because it's so awkward. I bought some speeches from

coaches to bring it back to sports. this made me think of like five, six years ago on Hard Knocks. Remember John Gruden when he was going off in front of the team at practice saying everybody's got a dream of making it in the NFL or I got a dream of winning the Super Bowl or I got a dream of being in the Pro Bowl but I'm not really into dreams anymore. I'm into effing nightmares. He said you've got to end someone's dream. You got to take their job.

You got to take their heart. Yeah, that took a turn. That was a hell of a cool speech. I remember that. Was it? You don't think it was a cool speech? It was a little awkward. It took weird turns.

I'll just say that. Well, John Cruden's back in a big way. People forgave him. Do you remember that story from a few years ago when Marshaun Lynch got in trouble for cursing at little kids in a speech? Like, and they didn't like his coaching style. Like, he was, do you remember that? Yeah. And the parents had an issue with it.

And we're like, we talked about it. Rich. We're like, it's football. It's a different sort of setting. But the parents were real offended with how he was addressing the kids in those speeches and huddles because he was cursing at him. and that became an issue and a little awkward, I imagine. Well, hey, your thoughts on James,

the worst speeches, anything you want to bring up. And, you know, it's sort of ties together with something baseball legend, Adam Wainwright, says that he brings up every time he talks to kids when he coaches and his own kids.

And it has to do with what he emphasizes. He said, hey, this is what he'll say. For kids, I have three rules. and I'll give the kids a little speech. Be a great teammate. Have fun out there and play your hardest. Those are the three rules.

Anything else doesn't matter when you're coaching kids. So just thoughts you had on some awkward or funny speeches in the world of sports. And while you have a minute, check out that Nicolante wife cheating on him, 40th birthday. Crazy speech that went viral about a month ago. Look that out when you get a chance. Freedom. Now, we'll take your phone calls next. And again, prizes to give away.

Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom. If you could repeat verbatim, plus midweek major and more right here on Fox Sports Radio, Covino and Rich. Hey, it's us, the 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 contributed to a... We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. 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. 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.

And I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs. And on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay. Jen Chinchin win.

I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina. But I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lina Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open.

Steve Bouchemmy, it's the number one answer on the board. At least for our generation. How many times do you jokingly say, the better man? Yeah, that one is quoted all the time. But Dan Byer during the break checked out Nicolante. He was a Belleville firefighter who basically called his wife out for being a cheating no good for nothing in front of everybody. And that went viral recently, really awkward speech that he made.

But it made me think of some other stuff too before we move on. What you got? Recently in the fight game, you always see some weird things happen because people are a little punch drunk. Anthony Joshua, when he lost a fight, a few fights back, he got on the mic and started saying some crazy stuff. It's like, someone grabbed the mic from this guy. That's why announcers and interviewers never want to give up their microphone. because you never know what these guys are going to do with it. This guy made an ass of himself in front of everybody.

If you want to laugh. So boxer Anthony Joshua. He's on the list? Yeah. You know what I would have put on the list? Because people have isolated these because they're just so ridiculous. Have you ever really listened to some old school wrestling promo speeches from back of the day? Oh, yeah.

Some of them are great. Like the ultimate warrior. It was just gibberish. He's just gibberish. The warrior. He's saying nothing. But, dude, Anthony Joshua did that. in real life.

And speaking of boxing, you can't forget when Tommy Gunn was doing his speech and he thanked George Washington Duke instead of Rocky Balboa. That was really awkward. It hurts my heart until this day. It was an awkward moment, guys. I'd like to thank one man who helped get me here. Rocky's about to stand up. You know, he's talking about me.

Absolutely. Mr. George Washington Duke. What? Oh, oh, Adrian, it's okay. It's okay. So share your stories and your thoughts, awkward speeches. Maybe it was at your wedding. Every wedding I go to, every one, those speeches are awkward as hell.

I mean, the groom usually nails it with the best man's speech. It's a lot of times to me, now I sound sexist. It's usually the maid of honor who goes on and on with like notes about. Hell is how you really feel. Oh, come on. Like you're not thinking the same. Man, ladies, I want you all to know. That's Rich Davis, everybody.

Night, moving along. Gus in Los Gatos, California. That is the cats, everybody. What's up, man? Hey. Hey, guys. Hey, guys. Love this show, and I agree with you.

That's usually the time to run to the bar when the maid of honors. So, nonetheless, agree totally. So both of you are sexist. My dad, believe it or not, shout out to Father's Day. He used to say the same thing to me. Play hard, have fun. But the last thing he would say was win.

And I'm wondering if parents, even broach that subject with their kids anymore if winning even matters. It's interesting. You would say that because Rich Davis winning is coached in Fox Sports history. Women Heter Club

Rich Davis. Winning? Winning percentage of 325. That's true. No, you know, I talk about it quite a bit because it's a big part of my life now I coach my daughter's softball, but right now I'm coaching my sons five you. Let me repeat that. Five you all-star.

I don't know how they even make a kid that's five an all-star. It seems like the kids that were just interested that wanted to keep playing for another month. We have our first tournament this week, and it's the first time these kids are going to play where a score is kept. So frankly, if you guys have any advice, I would love to hear it because I keep telling them,

hey, we're here to have fun, we're here to learn the game. I love baseball. I want you to love baseball the way coach does. We're going to have fun. We're going to play harder than the other team. We're going to hustle. we're going to make friends and this is going to be one of the best times of your life.

But I have not talked about winning because I don't know. I mean, the other team's going to try to win but I've talked to the other coaches and parents. Hey, kids, you want to be a winner or you want to be a weaner? And see what they say. It's a good one.

Yeah, that's how I would start. Yeah, I want to be a winner. I have said to the other parents. That's right, because we're not weanies, am I right? I have said to the parents, every kid's going to play. No one's going to sit or anything like that. They're five. but I have said to the parents

I mean, you put money and time into this the other team's going to try to win so we're going to try to win too I know winning isn't everything at five but we are also going to try to win plant the seed and set the foundation and I said you know why I guess if they win they're going to feel good about themselves

we went from worse speeches to actually great motivational actually simple teachings but meaningful teachings of Adam Wainwright he says for the kids I have three rules one, be a great teammate. Two, have fun. And three, play your hardest.

Those are my three rules every time we get out of the car and they save them back to me. And I think it's a great way to play the game. So those are his three rules. Adam Wienwright. Couldn't agree more. Famous MLB Cardinal. Be a good teammate.

You're right. Try hard. And, you know, I believe it was Derek Jeter, who always talked about. No one will out. hustle him, right? It's hard to beat someone that never quits. It's actually Babe Ruth.

But what a cheater had another one too? Like, no one. Maybe I'm giving Cheater Babe credit. Babe Ruth said, Hot dogs are great, see? He said, I'll have another hot dog, yeah. And he also said, hard to beat somebody that never gives up, right?

I'm sure Jeter has some motivational. Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game. That was Babe Ruth. Well, there you go. See Babe Ruth. You ever watch a Babe documentary? Kavino and I watched one where all the players that played with Babe that were somehow still alive.

This documentary might have been 20 years ago. They all respected and loved the babe so much. No matter what he did. That they oversaw all the things he did. It was like, yeah, the Babe slept with my wife, but hey, that's the babe. Would you believe the babe kick me in the wave of, kick me in the balls and then took my gal? Oh, man, the babe. He was a hell of a guy.

I learned a lesson that day. A real important lesson about life. Man, now is the babe. The absolute opposite of Nicolante. He 100% opposite. Yes. All right. Now, I want to bring up one thing,

and we're going to get to Dan Byers' update, but let me just throw this out there. I have a story about Roman Anthony. He is the young stud prospect on the Boston Red Sox. There's a wild stat about him, and also... Was that a character on Spartacus? Roman Anthony. Thoughts about him and not just about him.

We'll get to this next. Let's say hi to Dan Byer for an update. Boy, what an amazing five minutes it's been for Danny G. Okay, Tiascar Hernandez just hit a three-run home run for the Dodgers. They lead the Padres for one of the sixth. And the Raiders have signed free agent linebacker Jermaine Pratt, who's just like the other Cincinnati Bengals. Man.

So, yeah, maybe by the end of the update, the Lakers will do something. I know. Is that why Danny G was thrusting in the other studio? Ah. Mix of this and that will get back to the NFL at baseball at a second. But we start with the NBA game three of the finals tonight. Thunders and Pacers, 8.30 Eastern time. Kevin Durant, his reps and the sons, talking trade to get him out of Phoenix.

The teams, according to ESPN, that are likely destinations for Durant include the Timberwolves, Spurs, Rockets, Heat, and Knicks. Mavericks denied the Knicks permission to speak with head coach Jason Kidd about their head coaching vacancy. In Southwark, Jalen Brown at arthroscopic surgery on his knee today, but he should be ready for training camp. In other NFL news, aside from the Raider's signing of linebacker Jermaine Pratt, there are now four unsigned first-round picks after the Eagles inked first-round pick linebacker Jahad Campbell to his deal. Eagles running back Sequin Barkley had the most sales of any player when it comes to

officially licensed products last season. That's according to the sales numbers from the NFLPA. Now in baseball, I mentioned the Dodgers lead the Padres by a score of 4 to 1 in the 6th inning. Eugenio Suarez has hit a grand slam for the Diamondbacks. They lead the Mariners 5' 2 in the 8th inning. It's the third of the season for Suarez. Guardians lead the red or beat the reds today. 11 to 2. Braves stopped the Brewers 6 to 2, taking 2 of 3 in Milwaukee.

Phillies were 7-2 winners against the Cubs. Pirates beat the Marlins 5 to 2. And right now down in Anaheim, the athletics are on top of the Angels 3-0 in the 6th inning. Guys, back to you. Thank you, D.B. D. B., when you talk about Kevin Durant, obviously people are going to say, oh, the Knicks, that would be crazy. New coach, if they bring in Durant is that brings them over the top.

But San Antonio, I know Popovich more of a front office role, but you get Wimby and a lot of those young players they have the number two pick I believe right yeah but that could be I don't think it would be used for Durant could be wrong but the core of young players that they have could be sent to Phoenix but you still have D.R. and Fox that you brought in yeah on a trade from Sacramento and that would be quite the the trio that you would have San Antonio could get right back in it yes absolutely interesting thank you

D.B. Durant's played in New York before that's right I totally that where Brooklyn A he knows I think he wants to forget where Brooklyn at Yeah, but he's familiar with the city, so don't count it out. Now, there's a story about Roman Anthony, and he wasn't Spartacus' pal. Boston Red Sock rookie superstar rookie, yeah, high expectations with this guy. There's a few things to point out about this guy, and we're going to get to it next. One has to do with a family member of his. One has to do with how damn young he is.

And one has to do about mental errors. So there's a lot of things already about this dude I want to talk about. So Roman Anthony, we'll get to that plus midweek major and wasted talent in sports, all this and more. Kavino and Rich right here. Fox Sports Radio. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. And guess what?

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 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, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris, every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay. Genschen win. I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lerner Rabakina is.

arguably the best player in the world right now and I actually can win on any surface because if she's serving well good luck consider this your court side seat to the french open listen to the rene stubbs tennis podcast on the iHeart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts presented by capital one founding partner of i heart women's sports 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.

I was saying there's so many reasons to be playing the song. Billy Ida White Wedding from, of course, the wedding singer. Oh, yeah. But also there is love in the air in the National Football League, everybody. Did you get your invite to Aaron Rogers' wedding? Aaron Rogers married. Josh Allen saying Halley Steinfeld is the best thing that ever happened to me.

She makes life easy, which is what everyone should feel about their spouse. And some people are saying Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift are secretly married. Maddied. There was a wedding invitation that said to Mr. and Mrs. Travis and Taylor Kelsey. and people are now like, wait a minute. Love is in the NFL air. Well, Rich, I'll turn it over to you because now it's time for our Tyraq play of the day. Kavino and Rich.

Love was in the air last night at City Field when my new Jeff McNeil hit a walkoff. Leading off to bottom of the 10th, winning run at second base. Henry Deals. Swinging a line drive, right field. Base hit for Jeff McNeil. Acuna round's third. Hassels throw to the plate. Acuna races on by.

No, 10. ball game. Mets win it again in 10. 5.4 New York over Washington. Put it in the books. Mets win, courtesy the Mets Radio Network. And last night, first pitch. So you know the overtime. Overtime. You know the extra inning rules where obviously a guy starts at second. Ocuna gets the second. First pitch, McBele-Line Drive base hit. So extra innings lasted one pitch. I saw it. And your boy Soto hit another opposite field blast. So he's heating up.

He's hot right now. And that's your Tirec play of the day. for over 40 years. Tire rack has been helping customers find the right tires for how what and where they drive. Ship fast and free. Back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire rack the way tire buying should be. I'm Covino. Dad is rich.

Danny G. Sam Buyer. Spot is getting ready for midweek major. And we have one call now to wrap up this Adam Wainwright, best speech sort of thing about the kids. By the way, you mentioned my dude Soto. You know what he did last night for the first time as a Met? Not the Soto Shuffle. Smiled? I don't know. Tell me.

There's videos of him smiling where it's funny how people are trying to paint this picture that he hates the Mets. Juan Soto for the first time last night did the cool thing he did last year as a Yankee where he sees a pitch that he gets beat on. He looks at the pitcher and goes, okay. And the next pitch hit a bomb. Did you hear that? He said okay, guys. Wants Soto. He said okay.

I'm just kidding. McIver. He wants Soto. I don't like him anymore. What's up, McGiver. man. Hey, fellas. Is this the real McGuiver or is this McGruber?

Hey, hey, that's my nickname. It rhymes with my first name. But anyway, love Adam Wainwright. Great advice for coaches when I was in high school football. In practice, quarterback through an interception. And had his helmet on, thank God. But the coach got so mad he headbutted him and broke his own nose. So don't be that guy.

Yeah, have fun. I do wonder at what level do you start emphasizing winning. And that's a conversation we've had before. And I think it's up for debate. I remember winning is fun. It's part of the fun. Listen, that's what I said to that. Nobody likes losing.

That's what I said to the parents. I go, listen, winning's not everything. They're so little. But I promise you this, if they win, they'll be really fired up. Remember Billy Bob in Friday Night Lights? His big speech was about excelling. He put the emphasis on that rather than winning. Yeah. Winning.

Winning. Maybe I just play some Charlie Sheen clips with the kids. Winning. Winning. Yeah, why don't you tell him about the tiger's blood? Yeah, there we go. I want to bring up Roman Anthony. Young Stud.

Is he your favorite new rookie? I'm a big fan of this Royals kid that everyone's talking about. It's funny. Jack Caglihanon, no. It's funny. Our video guy's spot loves how for some reason in baseball, it's appropriate to call young player studs. Young stud.

I don't know why it is. This kid, Jack Caglianone, however he says names. You mean, oh, the young stud? Yeah, young stud. Well, but there was a lot of coverage on his kid from Boston for sure. Roman Anthony, there was a couple funny stories. Number one, people have to point out when he was born, the Red Sox lineup

was all the people you... Jason Veritak, Kevin Malar. What big poppy, man. Johnny Damon. He was born in 04. It was that era, yeah. So you're like, wait, he was born in a time that I feel like was yesterday? That's crazy. That is wild. Yeah, I hate that. Are you born yesterday? It seems like it. In his first game, he makes an error.

He plays a grand ball to the outfield on his, to the side. Oh, remember, the whole team was pumped about him being there. They gave him a standing ovation in his debut. But while everyone is talking about this kid, you know who stole a little of his spotlight? Leah Anthony, his hot sister. And I got to ask if you, if you have a good looking sibling, would you laugh about this, be mad about it, be happy about it? Like, if your hot sister take some of the thoughts.

Do you care or not? We'll take your feedback next. And a bunch more, obviously, here. Kavino and Rich. 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 out. 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.
