and 12 parents the assignment was bring a check for the league and a birth certificate copy of your kid and we set the over under at I believe what seven and a half or eight yeah it was seven and a half I said I forget what I said but I guaranteed that a few people would definitely

forget it felt like some parents might bring one or the other but not both right so I said seven I must have the most responsible parents on this team I got a 11 out of 12 and the 12th went home, got it, and brought it back. Wow, that is crazy, man. Maybe they're just scared of Coach Dickie.

Yeah, they know not to cross FSR's number one winning as coach. Maybe you're laying a smack down. Does Isaac know that, that I'm the number one winning his coach on Fox Sports Radio? Do you know this? I'm going to have to look into the Fox Sports Radio record books, which we actually keep in a binder in the back. No, that's a binder full of women. Yeah, that's a binder full of women again. That was in Mitt Romney.

I have a binder. Mind are full of women. That's great. My candidates. So, hey, I just wanted to give you the payoff of that, the overhead. If you, if you bet on that at draft cakes. Nice, man. Hey, well, maybe, like I said, maybe you just lead with such authority.

And you're so commanding of. That's got to be the team. You know, maybe you're just such that guy. You're like coach, you're not coach ball game, but maybe you're just the coach of the year. I don't know. Great stuff. I wanted to bring one other thing up before we got into the Nix's, because that's the story today, right?

Nix extending the Eastern Conference finals. I was going to say, I hope you had a Nix sort of night. There's so much buzz. Not a Zion Williamson sort of morning. Yeah, not a Zion sort of day. A ton of buzz about what could the Nix really do from this point on? But I had to ask you one quick thing because I'm wearing my Travis Matthew Mett shirt today, my sports collection.

It's a dope shirt except for that logo. Stop it. The Mets logo. Travis Matthew logo is sweet. They're playing the Rocky. today. And I bring this up because the Rockies are 9 and 47. Oh, did you see the stat? That their winning percentage is under 200? Like, they are going to be the worst of all

time. No, there's a stat. Let me see. I'm going to find it. Keep going. I'll find it. I was just going to say, does there come a point where you start to feel a little bad for this team? Because I looked at the starting pitching matchup tonight because usually the money line for a baseball game, the most you'll see. Like, let's say the Yankees are throwing their ace and they're playing like a bunk team. It might be like, Minus 180, right? Mm-hmm. The Mets tonight, minus 310.

The pitcher for the Rockies, Kyle Freeland, it's only May, guys. You think Soto breaks out of a slump in the series or run? If you don't break out against the Rockies, I'm in love if you will. Hey, they did surprise Covino's Yankees. They did win one there, right? Yeah, I'm so mad there.

Here's that stat, Rich. This is insane. Wins since the start of the MLB season. Nuggets 10. Rockies 9. Oh, my God. It's embarrassing. That's insane.

This pitcher, who you've heard of, Kyle Freeland, of the Rockies, you're on such a bad team that it's not even June 1st yet. And imagine you're a starting pitcher and you're throwing up an 0-and-7 so far. That's like, that's really upsetting. I feel bad for him. I think the Savannah Bananas could probably beat that team. You know what? West Hill's 5-U team might win.

It's possible. Best. All right. So last night. Last night. You dropped up San Pedro. No, last night was great for Nick's fans. The Pacers just looked like they weren't confident from the get-go.

They never had a lead. Nick's dominated the game. It was just fun to watch. It's fun to see all the guys step up when it mattered. It's three, two Pacers now. Can they win? Here's the question. Do you think they could win game six in Indiana, take it back to the garden,

game seven on Monday? Do you think they could do it based on what you saw yesterday? Based on what you saw yesterday, I think you can. If you could silence Halliburton the way they defended him and kept him quiet, that was the whole trick. That was the whole key right there. If they could do that again somehow, some way, and all their big guys step up,

they could definitely win game six. And then, hey, it's anybody's game, game seven, but it's at the garden advantage Knicks. Let's keep in mind that the Knicks and the Pacers regular season. were within one game of each other. It's not like one was a 65 win team and one was like a 500 team that just got in. It's always whoever's hot, right?

They were within one game of each other. Adjustments. So similar success this season. This series is going to, obviously, game six. I think the Knicks could do it. And I think there's just a ton of pressure on Indiana because if you somehow let game six slip through the cracks,

the vibe and pressure and anxiety. anxiety anxiety he's going to go through the roof if you're a pacer going back to Madison Square Garden

for a game 7 with you know Ben Stiller's big head and you know Timothy Shalame making it out with Kylie Jenner it's going to be

insane in the garden so Indiana has to act like tomorrow's game 7 even though it's game set they need to act like this is this is it

you do not want to go back to Madison Square Garden and Danny I don't want to talk about sides of my mouth, but I said, okay, C is going to whoop either one of these teams. The only advantage one of these Eastern Conference teams could have is that they can be playing with such heart and intensity after this series where Oklahoma City has been sitting around

for eight days before game one. OKC, dominate a lot of Eastern Conference teams this season. Yeah, but I'm still not buying that. Suddenly, they're this juggernaut slash dynasty that even rich, you kind of made it sound that way yesterday. But just a few weeks ago when we filled in on the call. and Cowherd show, I gave you the storylines for the Western teams at the top. And you didn't take the thunder.

You said they're inexperienced. I'm not buying into them. So people have gone from not buying into them to, oh, they're going to just steamroll any team from the East. Well, this is where I think we disagree with Danny G. Maybe I'm drinking the Stephen A Kool-A, Kool-Aid, which I don't normally do. But he's such a Knicks guy, right? Even he's saying today, even if they do beat the Pacers. was like sad subdued, Stephen A? Even if they do.

But he's talking about the Knicks having no shot against O.KC. He's saying the Knicks, even if they beat the Pacers. But Cove. They aren't going to have any shot whatsoever. And that's kind of how I feel. So I feel like he's just validating what I see. And the eye test tells me that OKC is playing younger, hungrier, stronger, and more like a team than the Knicks.

I feel like the Knicks are making adjustments and figuring it out. And OKC is just steam rolling through. everybody. I could be wrong. We always say it's the most cliche thing in sports, but styles make fights. Maybe they do compete with OKC, but I do feel that way as of now because we've seen them struggle so much with Indiana. Yeah, I was going to say, you're talking about, and Stephen A. Smith is talking about the Knicks. Okay, but the Pacers match up well with OKC. Yes. Because they have a lot of scoring power and they can lock down that defense. Same way as OKC. They're very similar. I think the Knicks could win in Indiana. I think they could take a

back to the garden. I think they could take it all the way. Again, if you shut out Halliburton again, what do you have, eight points? Siakum, who we're going to talk about was the leading score, had 15 points. We're going to talk about him in a minute. If the Knicks could force it, dude. If they could force it, I don't know

if they could beat OKC as of now. That's where Danny G and I disagree. And I want to believe what Danny G believes that the Knicks still could win. You know what they say, though? The seven neon lights are bright. has the O'KC Thunder On Broadway

Ever played at Madison Square Garden In the NBA finals? I don't care, you know You're thinking the pressure is going to get the easier And again, sitting on your ass for eight days is a long time But hey, there's great storylines It would surprise me if the Pacers come out With a bad game like that at home

Saturday. That would surprise me. And I'm not saying the Knicks are destined to lose for sure But the Pacers are not going to look like The way they did yesterday. I think the Knicks also have to play defense. They play defense, but come off strong.

Yes, and Kat needs to have a big game if they're going to win in Indiana. And play like a big man. He had 24 points in the win. But again, his defense was strong. And they never let the Pacers get a lead. Like they hit him early with, I always compare everything to fighting rich because it's a paddle. That's why. We watched that Ryan Garcia fight.

When he gets hit early, that's it. The rest of the fight is over after that. He could never really find his feet and get back into the fight. The Knicks hit them so early and took such an early lead, Pacers never were able to gain ground and ever able to close it closer. So again, 1194 Knicks Pacers, they're showing that fight. I think they win game six. I think we'll have a game seven.

How could you not root for that? I mean, playing from behind stinks. That's the thing. And they never were able to catch up after that. In any sport, like there's that, you know, if you're down 14-0-0 in the NFL, it's, oh, God, it's in the first quarter. If you're a baseball fan and your team's down, you know, five nothing in the third inning, you, it's just like a terrible pressure, weird feeling about playing from behind.

And you're right, Indiana felt that way. It seemed the whole night. You know, it would be the biggest buzzkill, unless you're an Indiana Pacers fan. Imagine the Knicks went a close one in Indiana. But then the Pacers win like in the fourth quarter in the garden. Buzzer-beater. Didn't the Pacers win two games to start the series in New York? Yeah.

Yeah. So they think, first of all, I think the Pacers win it on Saturday. I think Tyreys Halliburton coming off of a really mid-game, he's going to bounce back with a huge game. That was a weak game. It was weak. It was worse than me. It was out of body. And that was coming off. That was coming off of his perfect game. I know. I think he's streaky like that. The eye test means nothing. It really doesn't. But what I saw was a little bit of worry in their faces. That's how I felt. You know, maybe because they're playing at home. And again, pressure's starting to kick in. I felt like Halliburton's like, damn, what is going on? here. And Brunson set the tone early. Brunson set the tone. These guys are playing tough. The

Knicks are tough. We knew that. And what he had? Brunson had 32 points last night. But again, playing big. That's the thing when it matters. So the question here, do you think the Knicks could win in Indiana? Do you think they can? And if they do and they end up winning this whole thing, do you think they can compete with OKC at this point? That's really what it is. I think that's the only circumstance. Danny G says yes, I say I'm scared. I don't know. I'm scared of O.K.C.

I think it's the only circumstance in which they could compete, meaning I think fresh momentum, just if you win in seven games at home, you're going to be playing with a confidence, a weird excitement. Like the season never stops. OKC. Now some teams are fine with this, but again, eight days between their win to clinch the Western Conference and game one of the NBA finals. That's eight days. That's a lot of sitting around.

You know what? There is a lot of pressure, though. A little bit of rust versus a team that is on a high thinking, rich, we could run through a brick wall right now after that competitive series. And like you said, pressure of the bright lights and the big moment, these young guys have to face the fact that, wow, everyone's expecting us to win. And if we do win, we're the next big dynasty, we're the next Golden State Warriors, we're the next sort of, I'm hearing a lot of spurs comparisons because they're so fundamental. mentally good and kind of boring a little bit.

But we're that next team. So maybe that pressure adds up and works against them. I don't know. But they've been so good all season. They've been the team to beat. Can the Knicks compete with them if they make it? We've seen it in pro sports. I've seen it in kids sports where, you know,

the good team gets a buy and these kids are, you know, like I said, even when I coach kids, the better team gets the buy. They're sitting around. The team that played the early game has to play again in the afternoon. By the time they play that final game, these kids are like you would think they're tired, but they're pumped up. They're having fun.

Meanwhile, the other kids just stroll up, you know, with their little gatoried, like, I'm ready to play. They're not ready to play. And I think OKC might be a little rusty. And that's the only chance an Eastern Conference team has the end of that. But there's a funnier story that came out of last night. But, dude, how are you not pumped? I want everybody to realize that if you're a casual fan,

if you're not tuning in on Saturday to watch the Knicks Pacers, then where you at? No, for real enough, what do you want me? Not you. You're joining symbols on my knees like a little monkey? Ni, you. The collective view. I'm talking to the Fox Sports Radio Nation.

Yeah, I'm talking to the people who are like, yeah, you know, maybe I'm going to take a Costco run on Saturday. No, you're watching the Knicks Pacers, man. This is the game. That's Saturday. And if they win, they play again on Monday at the Garden. How could you not be rooting for that? This is drama.

Drama show. And OKC sitting there waiting. Oh, no. All right. So tell me. Oh, no. I just realized the time of the game and something I have to do. Five o'clock on the West.

Rich, the Chrisley reruns can wait. Is it Chrisley Marathon since he's pardoned? Live from prison. Not anymore. The release. He's alive. He's out there, you know, making press conference. We're at the butcher shop.

You know who's next. Celebrating with some meat. No, I just realized. that I'm going to a 645 showing of Lilo and Stitch with my kids. Bro, how do you do that? How did that happen? Yeah, why do you let that happen if you know such a big game is on Saturday? Move it up.

What are they going to complain? I booked the tickets like, oh, you're already out earlier in the week. You went online, didn't you? They had a lot of faith in the Knicks. I think you could trade the tickets in for a different showtime. That's not happening. Not happening. There's not a chance he's not going up.

We're going with other kids. Is it? That sounds like a hassle. Can I put my phone on very low brightness and just like watch silently? You're in the top corner of the theater. Yeah, I mean, we're in the back row. We're in the back row. If there's no one behind you, maybe.

There's no one behind you? Old man earpieces that they listen to the game, you know, with like the earpiece. I'll be like Steve Barton in the movie theater. Ooh. All right. Well, hey, big game Saturday. You got to be watching. But last night there was something wild that happened.

And Sam, you my favorite George W. Bush quote, Fool me once. What is it? Shame on you. Can't be fooled again. What are my favorites? I don't know why. That makes me laugh so much.

That's my second favorite. Shame on. Shame on you. It fooled me. We can't get fool again. My first favorite clip is when, didn't someone throw a shoe at him? Yes. He was in Iraq.

He was not doing like a press conference and some guy threw a shoe. That's the best. Show me once. Shame on you. Shoem me again. You're going to need some new shoes. The best clip. Hilarious.

I just thought this was wild. This Siakum clip last night, there's a reporter that asks, like almost like a bonehead question, almost insinuating like, are you no playing hard? Take a listen. How much great was done?

I guess, what did they do, especially on their side in the defense team? You guys trying to get older. Nah, they did play it harder than us, I think. I think they played harder than us. You know, lose balls, like rebounds, like all that.

We got to be able to win that. battle. How you can you make sense of it for those folks who don't play this game this level? Like you know what was this day. You're saying they played harder than you guys. You fight them hard enough. How is that possible? What you mean?

How is that possible not fight hard enough in game? What are you talking about it? They played harder than others. It's okay. We played hard, but they played harder. What's your point? I don't get it. I mean, is this guy overstepping here with that questioning?

Because it went pretty viral yet. Now, what makes it interesting is, you know this guy. This is not a one-time doozy. This is a fool me once. It's a shame. Can't get fooled again. This is the same guy. Think about it.

Indiana. It's the same guy that did that weird interaction with Caitlin Clark. Like, let me give you the heart symbol. And he's like, we'll be okay if you, do you have the clip of that, Sam? This guy, two for two. Hi. Caitlin, Greg Doyle, Indy Star. Real quick.

Let me do this. You like that? I like that you're here. I like that you're here. I do that at my family after every game. Okay. We'll start doing it to me and we'll be able to get along just fine. So, question.

I mean, nothing he said was like over the top. That's what I mean. Like, did we just make a big deal about that? I think we did. Or does the fact that he's the center of attention again last night's game add to it? Like, are we just mad at this guy for being a bonehead? Is this guy? He's a good columnist.

a lot of his stuff over the years. He's a good columnist. He's just sort of pressing the issue I feel last night. Siakum got a little aggravated. We missed the drop too in there because a little later he says, you good bro? You good bro? I think the funny part is that clearly this guy must be a credible. Who is this guy? Pointed into the reporter. He must be a credible journalist enough Danny G. Then he goes, oh, oh. To have covered the Pacers in the Eastern Conference and to cover Caitlin Clark during her first year. But it's just funny to think that what's a What's a chance of the same guy having like two cringy moments to the point where everyone's like, who is this guy? And they're really not that bad moment.

So do you think he loves it or not? I would say so. What's he guilty of being a bonehead? That doesn't make him a bad guy. And how do you stand out as a reporter? I guess so. I feel like in the first one, he was awkward. I don't think he really crossed line.

But everybody made such a big deal about it because Caitlin Clark is America's sweetheart. And everyone's like, how would he do that? He made a heart symbol. She made the heart symbol. And he was like, yeah, do that to me and we're good. He didn't say in a creepy way. He said it in a stupid way. And then last night...

The headlines were all that he was creepy. Yeah, yeah. And I mean, I could see that, but it wasn't that big of a deal. And the Seacom thing went to the point where, again, like Danny G said, you good, bro? Who is this guy? You good? You good? All he was doing is pressing the questioning.

And when he think about it, Seaccombe was honest. Nicks played harder. And he's basically saying, well, Well, why is that? He said, how was that possible? How was that possible? How could you guys not be playing hard? This wouldn't have got the attention if Siakum didn't have that response.

Some guys just take questions and they may think they're stupid. They just answer them, you know, professionally. I'm not saying he didn't answer professionally, but they just give him a stock answer and move on. But it is the same guy. But let's just take it. So there's something to it. I just wanted to point that out because what's a chance of the same reporter having two awkward moments? Some people are just annoying and abrasive.

He seems to be one of those guys. But let me ask. about a calendar year. Let me ask this question just to wrap it up. Is the question a bad question or not? Can you ask someone if you lost? Like, let's say, you and I were competing in something. I don't know, we're playing pool, you know, doing something.

And you say, ah, they just played harder. Can you question, like, how is that possible? How could they play? Shouldn't you be playing hard? Can you admit that someone played harder? Is that like a weird admission? No. I don't think so.

but I also don't think it was wrong for the guy to then press. Well, what do you mean by that? Were you guys not pumped for the game? Did you guys think you didn't have to play hard? Were you surprised by that? Like, I don't mind the guy pressing it. What made it a thing was Seacom not liking being pressed there and then calling him out.

And it just so happens to be that same Caitlin Clark guy. As we're talking it out, Danny G., is it that horrible of a question or is it a weird question? I'm really trying to figure it out. Because really both stories, they're not that deep. It's just he rubs people, seems to rub people the wrong way with the question. And I think what plays into it too, Seacom was just frustrated by the team's performance there. By asking someone.

They didn't close things out. He already was in a bad mood, obviously. Yeah, because what, how do you really explain how they played how you lost? Seacom offered a cliche answer. Right. And when someone presses you and wants you to like dissect it, they're like, well, I can't really because it's like, it's like they just wanted it more. Like that's it.

That's the end of the explanation. And then you're sort of being like, and it also is who is from. Why? And then there's really no why. It's like, if you're Charles Barkley, you could basically say whatever you want. At the end of the game, you saw him talking to Carl Anthony Towns. And Collinthie Towns is there with his Cheetos out wearing his slides and being zesty, as they say. And I love him.

I think he's great, by the way. And Charles Barkley is like, yo, man, you big dummy. He's like, you got to stop doing what you're doing. And he's like, what do you mean? he was just talking to him. It's Charles Berkeley. But it's Charles Barkley, so it matters. He's making stupid fouls and me and Shaq,

and Shaq is calling him out. And they're telling him, look, you can't be doing that moving forward, you big dummy. Stop making stupid fouls. Stop making stupid passes. You know, got to play big. You're the big man. And don't be doing no stupid mistakes moving forward.

But because of Shaq and Barclay, it's okay. This guy asks a simple question. You know, like, who is this, dude? Tell him to beat it. It's not that big of a deal. but it became a moment. What are your thoughts on Greg Doyle? And by the way, he may be the biggest tool in the world.

I don't know personally. So I don't want to be defending him either. But if you really break down what he's known for, man, he got off easy, in my opinion. Well, I've heard that Doyle rules. Yeah, Greg Doyle, he gets a lot of attention for not really doing all that much. So that and your thoughts on the Knicks. Could they pull this off? could they win in Indiana on Saturday?

And like we said yesterday, Danny G. By the Knicks winning, they just gave us all something to look forward to this weekend. Except for you. You'll be at the movies. I'll be eating popcorn watching on a dim phone. No, that's Sunday if they force a game seven. Game seven's on Monday, right? Oh, I'm sorry. Game seven's on Monday, yeah.

Isn't Saturday, game six? Saturday, six, and then seven would be Monday. So you have the movie on Saturday? Yeah. Okay, I got you. Bad planning by Rich. Yeah. Man.

Lilo and Rich. Oh! Hey, you. All right. We got more CNR next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

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 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. And 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. 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 IHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

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.

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.

The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis. 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. Jenchian 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, Lerabakina 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 Renee Stubbs tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart 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. 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 I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We're Kavino and Rich Live from the Fox Sports Radio Studio.

Yep. For over 40 years, Tyrax has been helping customers find the right tires for how, what, and where they drive. TRIAC. Ship fast and free, back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire install. isolation. Tyraq. Tyrax.com. A tire buying should be. So the Knicks were looking bigger, better, faster, stronger than the Pacers.

Siakum even admitted it. He just didn't want to talk about it or elaborate on it. And what did we learn so far? That the Knicks could win game six, force a game seven at the garden. We reap all the benefits. But even if they won, I'm not sure they could be OKC. However, Danny G says they can because styles make fights. and he's not buying into the OKC hype.

That's what we've learned so far. We also learned that depending on who is coming from is how you perceive the criticism or the questioning. And that is the obvious, but it's also what's happening. When Shaq and Charles Barclay are talking to the players after the game, they can say whatever they want. They're Shaq and Charles Barkley. When Greg Doyle presses Pascal Seaccom,

when he presses Seaccombe, you know, Seacob's like, who's this guy? You all right? You're good, bro? You're good, bro? Like, who is this guy? You're a nobody from nowhereville. You're not allowed to have a follow-up question when I say something vague or cliche. Yeah. Actually, as an interviewer, believe it or not, says it right here, my business card, radio tycoon and celebrity interviewer. Yeah. Wouldn't you say that was a good follow-up question? Like, well, how could you, it's a game five at home. How could you let the Knicks play harder? But like you said, and there's a fair follow-up, and I'm glad you made the distinction. If that was said by Barclay or Shaq goofing around, like, yo, what do you mean?

Jack and Barclay were telling Colony Towns what not to do and what to do. And calling a big dummy. Yeah, moving forward. So, and again, they have a different camaraderie. They've earned that respect. I get all that. But what this dude said, bonehead or not, and like I said, he may be the biggest toolbag ever. I don't know him.

What was really said wasn't that big of a deal. He finds his name in the headlines again. Well, it's a great lesson to be learned. Go around the room. Danny, Iowa, Sam, Loencrong, Spotty. Don't you take advice from some people and then other people, you'd be like, yeah, yeah, yeah. You'd be like, yeah, yeah. Do you think I care what you say?

Yes. Think about it here at Fox Sports Radio. I bet you can name the people you would genuinely take advice from. And if someone else gave you advice, you'd be like, yeah, great. Right? I mean, seriously. Yeah. It's true.

They don't like this Greg Doyle guy in Indiana, apparently. That's really what it comes down to. He should take his talents to South Beach. I don't think he's doing his job as a journalist, as a sports journalist. Like there's always been a war between, you know, sports media and the players. Like they're just trying to squeeze answers out of these guys. That's their job. He seems a little odd with his question.

Yeah, I think he's, like you said, he rubs people kind of weirdly. There's also some reporters, Covino, that are too soft in the other direction, where there are obvious follow-up questions that they don't ask. So it goes both ways. Or they lob softball questions at guys. Yeah, I'll be honest. I can't get too down on this guy. Because they don't want to get kicked out of the room.

I can't get too down on this guy, Doyle, because I wouldn't want to be bothering Seacom. That's why I'm not a journalist. That's why I'm a, you know, do a goofy talk show every day. You do interviews. I do. Right? Someone gives you a weird answer.

I mean, it's just a natural question. What do you mean by that? And sometimes you just catch them at a bad time in a bad mood for whatever reason, because I've been in literally hundreds and hundreds of these locker room, clubhouse press conference situations. Hello. Oh, I saw you in a documentary, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, I sent everybody a still photo of it in our group chat.

I appreciate you doing that. I saw you with a microphone in Kobe's face. That looks like Lowencrone, but way younger. Waiting on my royalty check. By the way, that's a true story. What documentary was that? That's the Kobe documentary. That was so cool to see Isaac Lowencrown with a microphone right there,

listening to Kobe answer questions. Very cool. With thicker hair. Actually, I mean, this happened once including to literally Shaq. I once asked him a question, and for some reason, it rubbed him the wrong way. What was this guy? And then, yeah, basically. Are you good, bro?

And then basically, basically two minutes later, someone else asked basically the same question using different words, and his mood had changed, and he gave a great answer. You know, it happens. This happened to us once, and I'm through a mood swing. I'm remembering the story, but before that, I want to confirm something. Isaac, in the locker room, the thing most said to you is eyes up here. right? Yeah. Actually, I was saying it to them

instead of the other way around. And to be honest, I didn't blame them. You know, if I'm wrong, correct me, Kof. Yeah. This might have been 15 years ago. Like early Kavino and Rich, we're in our early 20s. I feel like when we were at Series XM, Denise Richards had been on the Howard Stern Show. Yes.

And she was talking about when I tell you every dirty, sexual story possible. Mm-hmm. and she was just like, oh, Howard, like dirty details. We were playfully asking similar questions. Kavino asked her something playful about being in Maximur Playboy, and she's like, well, do you have any class? Yeah, got all offended, made it awkward.

It's like what? It's a source sometimes, I suppose. Looks like she thought that you and, you and Rich were wild things. Good one. Hey, you know what? Winning. How can we make them wait any more after that? Isaac Lohencro.

Let's do an update. Oh. What's up, buddy? Our top story, Isaac Lohencrone, just completely destroyed a very good Kavino and Rich segment. A rep issued a statement saying, Isaac Lohencrone regrets the air. It will be deleted from the podcast. No, you good, bro? I'm afraid I am not.

And Shaq did indeed say that. We will actually start with some developing Major League Baseball news. The Atlanta Braves announcing a short time ago that starting pitcher A.J. Smith-Shava has been diagnosed. with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow. The Los Angeles Angels today reinstated Mike Trout from the injured list and one final score to pass along at Wrigley, the Cincinnati Reds over the Cubs, 6 to 2. And the NFL ESPN reported the 49ers working to finalize a trade to acquire pass rusher Bryce Huff from the Eagles for a mid-round draft pick,

the Minnesota Viking-Sign GM, Quasi Adolfo Mensa to a multi-year contract extension. Finally, in the NBA, the attorney, For New Orleans, Pelican star Zion Williamson released a statement today responding to a civil lawsuit that an unidentified woman filed in Los Angeles, Superior Court Thursday, that accused Williamson of sexual assault and physical, emotional and financial abuse during a multi-year relationship. Statement read in part, quote, we unequivocally deny the allegations this appears to be an attempt to exploit a professional athlete driven by a financial motive rather than any legitimate grievance. They never dated but did maintain a consensual, casual relationship that ended years ago, unquote. Guys, back to you. Thank you, Isaac.

I'm looking up my new 49er, Huff. Inactive for the Super Bowl. I was like, I don't remember him being a factor down the stretch injured last year and hopefully a bounce back year for my 49ers. Thank you, Isaac, Logan Cron. Thank you, Isaac. And please let it be known that we are having a World Series. matchup tonight. How pumped are you about that?

I'm pretty pumped about it. You know, we're talking a lot about the Knicks, but don't let that go into the radar. Yankees Dodgers tonight. Oh, Danny, go Dodgers. I can gain some ground in Ming Camino's bet. Good luck against Max Fried. Oh, that's the guy right now. So it's Freed Gonsolin.

We'll talk more about it when we get into weekend hobnob. Dodgers bullpen needs an ambulance standing by. Right. The Mets are, let's see, the Mets are. We're so hyped about the NBA playoffs. which goes to show you how great the NBA is when it comes down to it, right? I got so many of my friends so pumped about the Knicks this year. It's something we talk about every night since they've went on this run that we're not even talking about the Yankees Dodgers yet, but we will.

Well, hey, Yanks are a game and a half better than my Mets. And I only bring that up because Kvino and I have that $1,000 bet. Yeah. What team ends with a better record? And your Yankees been hot, man. They've won five in a row, nine of their last 10, 35 and 20. Dodgers are 34 and 22. What are your Mets again?

The Mets are 34 and 22, so a game and a half. Same as the Dodgers. Yeah, Dodgers, Mets. Look at the ALE and the NL, though, who the team's on top. It's the Tigers and the Phillies. Yeah. The Tigers are playing big. They're saying Glaber Torres is having, or he could be an All-Star.

Let's put it that way. He's having a good season. Man, and the Phillies are just, Phillies seem unbeatable at times. They're filthy. Man, you know, not to be baseball nerdy, but if you're an NL fan like I am, Phillies, Mets, Cubs, Dodgers, Padres. Tell me that playoff scenario come October. I know we're still so far away, but what great teams, man.

Mets, Phillies, your Dodgers, the N.EG and the Padres and the Cubs who got young talent. That's the playoffs and baseball. We've said it. Cowherd said it. Like, baseball's going through a moment right now. It's the baseball renaissance. And it's awesome. Yeah, it's back.

And you know what? Much like your Yankees are in a week AL, if he asked me. Tigers are great, but besides that, your division, are they all under 500 still except the Yankees? Oh, no, Tampa, over 500. All right, hey, we got more Kavino and Rich, and I do want to talk some NFL if that's cool with you guys. I think the Giants, the New York football giants,

made like the most foolish, assonine decision, and I'll explain what that is next right here on Fox Sports Radio. 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... 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.

So next hour, just more reason to keep you here. here. We're going to read some feedback. We're going to read Swiggy reviews. So if you left a review, and if you haven't, you still have

time, follow us on Apple Podcasts, five stars, leave a review. If Danny G reads your review, you win a Swigie. Simple as that, all right. If you kiss ass enough, essentially. That's right. Yeah. You have a shot. Okay, so. And don't worry, I'm going to start things with a one-star review. Oh, that's great. Okay. Nice. We could give them a Swiggy and then say, Sike. Love that. So I said I wanted to talk New York football giants. And by the way, can we talk for one second about the baseball giants?

Danny J., you scared of them? I feel like they're hanging around, and I thought they'd simmer down by now. But I thought it was Dodgers Padres. And the Giants somehow are 31 and 25. Yeah, I know. My dude, Wilmer Flores is playing like he's Aaron Judge. Their organization has always been good at putting like blue-collar guys on the roster and then squeezing the most out of them.

Yeah, the Giants, that's a team of, of legacy. The New York football giants, I feel like, mixed in with a little Phil Sims and Hostetler. When Eli wasn't winning, it was like, suck, suck, suck, suck. Eli stuns the Patriots, suck, suck, suck. Eli stuns the Patriots again. Suckety, suck, suck, suck. That's sort of the vibe you get from our giant fan friends, right? Now, did the Giants make an asinine move? Let me explain. We all saw the footage a year ago, right? Remember the GM son, Joe Shane's son, said, go with Jaden Daniels. He didn't.

Jane and Daniels becomes the star of their division for the Washington commanders. Then his son this year, Jackson Dort, Dad. And before they get Jackson DART, they go out and sign Russell, Mr. Unlimited Wilson. Then the most likable funny dude in the NFL, James Winston. And then, after doing all that, then they're going. they draft Jackson Dart. They didn't release Tommy Cullets yet, did they? And he's still hanging around.

He's still hanging around. He's still making the charcuttery board for everyone. But he did request the trade or something like that. He said he's unhappy about it. And we've already seen the pictures where they're making fun of Russell Wilson for wearing football pants when everyone else is wearing shorts.

It's a pretty heavy, pretty stacked quarterback room. Russell Wilson's done a decent job of campaigning, though. He was at the Yankee games in the dugout. He's wearing in all Yankee gear. He's Mr. New York again, Mr. Unlimited. So he's out there and about there embracing this New York

spotlight. But the question of what I ask everyone, because I feel that they just didn't think this through. I mean, clearly. I mean, you could argue, there's never such thing. No such thing is a quarterback room that's too deep. Everyone wants extra talent in that

situation. But Brian Davel seems to be in love. Why do birds suddenly appear every time. DART is near. He seems like this is his like handpicked

perfect quarterback. So then it poses the question. What are we going to do with everyone in that room? We'll talk Giants football. Some NBA. A bunch snacks right 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 control. 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.
