And these are just a few of the stunning stories I'll be exploring on the 14th season of Family Secrets. He kind of shoved me out of the way and said, move. And he went out the front door and he jumped in a car and drove off.

And that was the last time I saw him. Listen to Season 14 of Family Secrets on the IHeart Radio, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Better version of Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes. Yes.

All right. Five stores. Thank you. What do you prefer? Anteans pretzels or Wetzel. Wetzel all day, bro. Can I give everyone a recommendation? I think I mentioned this already.

But if you need to need something to watch. Danny G., we talk about it on Friday's weekend hobnobbing, all our favorite shows. We talked about friends and neighbors, and there's all these great shows out now. I watch a documentary History Channel boy over here. Steve Kavino, who you always see his stupid head talking on these things? I'm on four serieses, four different serieses.

It's just doesn't need to be plural. I think so. Serieses. Yeah, that's what it is. What do you want the dofists as a built America? What is it? I'm on icons that built America. I'm on toys that built America

Season 3 and two more to come and I can't tell you what they are yet They're coming soon There is one though I want to recommend to all the sports fans out there And Dan Byer I feel like this would be right up Your Allie Danny G

You're men of history, you're men of knowledge Maybe you too I was Sam Now it's the mega brands Oh yeah, mega brands The mega brands that built America And there's an episode All about Spalding and Wilson and dude, you don't realize how innovative some of these men were in the early part of the 20th century,

the late 19th century where people were playing baseball in every game in every league had a different ball, a different size, a different weight. They were playing bare-handed. It was a weakness. Like you were a weenie if you wore a glove. And then Spalding. Spalding was so respected as a great athlete that he came out there wearing gloves. And people were like, well, Spalding.

It would be like if Otani came out wearing, you know, something. and people may say, well, if he does. It's like when Ernie pete his pants. I remember that? Billy's like, if he and your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis. Yeah, same thing. It's like that, because it was cool immediately once it happened. And Spalding.

He was that good. I don't want to give away the whole documentary, but Spalding then wore two, like, almost driving gloves. That turned into one with bigger fingers. And then who decided to connect the fingers of the glove and make a pocket of a baseball glove? I don't know. These two brothers, the Rawlings brothers? So honestly, if you're a sports fan, this is right up your alley.

And Wilson's involved. Yeah, Enrique Wilson, right? No, no, not in Rock. Former utility infielder. He invented it. I'm sorry, Wilson. Wilson. I'm sorry.

A meat factory who was trying to figure out what to do with other parts of the animal, or maybe leather sporting goods. And let's just say the NFL and the then-AFL were using a rugby ball. And Wilson's like, listen, I can. can make you throw this thing better. I could reshape it. Trust me, I'm Wilson. And to this day, the Duke, the Wilson football is the official NFL football. I only gave a couple fun facts. I promise. It's an hour of cool documentary knowledge. And that's the, I believe, mega brands that built America. It is. It's a great series. I love the reenactments. I love all

those shows. The blank that built America, they're all great. The foods that built America, but Rich is right. The mega brands one, the one about sporting equipment. I watched the nach. I watched the nacho the Nacho the Nacho Laucho the Tostito Pace salsa 1-1

once I thought that was fascinating because you realize that a lot of white guys like me hot sauce was not a thing

and when they made salsa they're like I really need to make it bland and like yeah but bland sounds like a negative word

American taste buds were not ready for that and now we're accustomed to we're used to it so yeah they had to

prepare the bland taste buds for what we love today so think about that. Mild was the word they came up with because they couldn't say, Americans were allergic to spicy. Well, they couldn't be like,

let's make it bland for the white guys. So they're like, what can we? Mild. Mild. There you go. So, these are all great then. That's the Mild Rich Davis, everybody. I was, Sam, I mean, you got to watch these things. I can't say basic or bland, but there is, the Mild Rich Davis. I'm sorry, I missed the network or streaming service. What was it?

History Channel. Okay. So if you got Hulu, I just look on Hulu, like on demand, and they're all there. It's so good. He's not lying. The blank that built America. They're all great. And it's no commercial. I mean, I watch a bunch of dumb stuff on every streaming service, but if you're just wanting something light in the background, learn a little something. So you're saying you're mild Davis? If that's what's cool, consider me mild Davis. I'm Miles Davis. Miles Davis. Good one. I like that one, Sam. I like it. So we're Kavino and Rich. We're going to play some games this hour. Again, give away prizes, like we said,

Shaq Diesel trivia, doing that to get you fired up for the NBA playoffs. But something we've been meaning to get to. And it feels like these stories keep piling up in the past few weeks, so perfect timing now. Covering for somebody in a big moment, do you have a story of your own? I'd love to hear about it. Did you Wally Pip the person I want to hear? I want to know the story. Did you Drew Bledso the moment?

Did you step up and Tom Brady the moment? Would it be a Tom Brady? No, it would be, yeah, a Drew Bledso. Well, here's the thing. If they always called it a Wally Pip, wouldn't it be a Drew Bledso? And it would be a Drew Bledso. Yeah. So the time.

times you had a cover for somebody in a big moment because these are frantic situations, but could redefine who you are and could be a big moment for you, depending on the story and the moment, right? Most recently, Dennis Scott, because of technical difficulties, had a cover for Spiro Didis and Candice Parker. So they were having, and he's what, like a color commentator? Yeah, he's usually down. Sideline guy.

Sideline, dude. and they were having technical difficulty. So he had to do the play-by-play and step up. The main booth was cut off. And by the way, you may think, oh, he's a broadcaster and he's polished enough, former player. But I'll tell you what, these are separate skills, guys. It's like asking an outfielder to play second base. You know what I mean?

Like, it's just not something that you do. Rich and I are on the air every day. Just for fun, one time we tried to do baseball play-by-play. and we can pretend all day. And we watch baseball all the time. It's not easy. It's not easy to do that if that's not your skill. It's like us trying to do what Dan Byard does as an anchor.

You know, that's not something that we do. It's a different skill set. Yeah, he had to start reading off the teleprompter and then he jumped into the play-by-play. Dude, that's scary, especially when you're not used to that. And we've seen so many moments, right? If I did Dan's job, I'd start it every time by going, it's update time. I'd have a whole gimmick. The start is the easy part.

The ending is the difficult. Yeah, you got to time that out. I feel like at the end, Rich would go, woo. I'd go, Shazemi. That music would make me nervous. When Dan Byer goes, I'm Dan Byer. Dun, dun, don't, don't. Like, and that hits perfectly.

That's a skill right there. It is. It's not easy. It's different skills. So you may think to yourself, like, how big deal he had to do the play-by-play is a basketball guy. If that's not what you do, and if you've never done it on a big stage like that, you know, that's like you, again, playing a position or doing something you've

never done before. They're like, oh, man. So Dennis Scott stepped up for Spiro Dede's, Candace Park, tech difficulties in an NBA playoff game. Big moment. Now, just this weekend, Kentucky Derby,

Mike Tarrico apparently had a peanut allergy. Yeah, bad reaction to it. And I don't know. That could be severe. I don't know how bad it was, but because of that, Ahmed Farid had to step in.

So, and again. Toreko tweeted that he was okay. He lived through it, but he said he was grateful to the broadcast team for stepping up for him. So think about that. You know, these are great opportunities. Unfortunate for them, but opportunities are knocking for these other people. And I think everybody has a moment or could think of a sports moment maybe where, hey, that guy wasn't ready, but he had to get in there and do his thing and he had to step up.

And you know what? It was a big moment for that guy. in my career, I have a stupid, stupid story, but it gave me the chops and understanding of, okay, well, I guess I could do this. Coming up in radio, I remember I was at Jones Beach, New York. Great concert venue, outdoor venue,

and it was for, I don't know, like a, this big festival concert that K-Rock New York was broadcasting from, right? And this sounds stupid, now, but back then it was a big deal. Booker, who's an Iheart radio host, Chris Booker, was supposed to interview Collective Soul. So this is like the late 1900s, right? But again, collective soul, not the biggest band in the world, but at the time.

Shine is a good song. Love that song. Are you kidding me? The world I know, make you cry. Right? December. Hit me up with some collective soul in my hand. Contagious as you think I am.

Right. So they had a bunch of hits, heavy. let's gel so but shine is a good one and for whatever reason Chris Booker is stuck in traffic and I'm like oh man that was the only idiot there

first to be there last to leave when you're coming up right that's just the role you played I'm hanging up banners I'm the only guy there boss is like yeah this is your time stay you got to interview collective soul I mean again looking back

as collective soul whatever we've done this a million times but when I'm a young kid and I'm buying their CDs. They're the biggest thing in the world to me, right? It's the world I know. And I'm like, oh, man, I remember just being so nervous, but I had to do it. I had to step up and fill in for Booker. And it was just on those recording. It wasn't a live broadcast, but I had to step up with the Morant's system, as Danny G. probably remembers. You remember those like handheld recording devices? And you had to be so careful and certain that you were recording it, and the levels were right and just pray that it came out okay. And I'm recording, and I did that interview

a collective soul and I was just like barely 20 man if that and I just remember at the time I had to step up because he was late or didn't show up or was sick or whatever the case was and for me at the time it showed that I'll step up if needed and I could handle these things I mean I sucked but I still did it and it showed me that yeah man maybe I can do this in the future who knows and that's happened twice in the broadcasting world in the last week so just coincidentally you know those times you covered and, you know, maybe got an opportunity. I have an example for like every part of life. It happened to me in sports too.

I have a sports example. Because he's a Cy Young Award winner, a guy that we think of as one of the most dominant pitchers of our generation. Jacob de Grom got called up as a spot starter. He was a minor

league shortstop who was transitioning to pitcher. Yeah. And you think about if DeGrom has a bad start, what do they do? Go back to the miners and see what happens. Jacob DeGrom took that and ran with it and became a generational pitcher. Yeah, again, that's stepping up in the moment, you know, taking that moment.

And that's what we're talking about. The times you had a cover for somebody. How about this one? It could have been a nightmare, too. It doesn't matter. Let's go back roughly, you know, 40 to 50 years. L.A. Lakers. Jack McKinney.

gets in a bicycle crash. We saw it on winning time. Yeah. Pat Riley was a young, hungry assistant. That gave Pat Riley his way in the door. And never looked back. In fact, the team was then given to him. Do you have a personal story, Rich?

I do, but it's a really corny one, though. I want to hear it. I mean, you're the cornyest guy now. It's on brand as far as I'm concerned. Let's hear it. All right. Well, it's a really corny example, guys, for real. Like, corny, like it makes sense because it reminded me that I don't really, I don't get scared at broadcast or anything like that.

I don't think, like, my collective soul story was the coolest story. Well, compared to this story. I can't wait. Let's hear it. So I was in a school play, my senior year. Why are you laughing at the start of the story? Because he's probably like to fill in for little orphan Annie. That's when Rich sang tomorrow.

And everybody cried. They gave him a standing ghost. And the rest is history. No, the night of the performance. It's a hard knock life for me. So it's a corny play too. Anything Goes. Okay.

I was in the Broadway show, Anything Goes. Yeah. As a senior in high school. Okay. And the girl that was the opposite lead of me, I was the lead guy. She was the, you know, the actress. she had like a laryngitis anxiety attack combination where mid-concert we had a duet

and as corny as is like I would sing a line she would sing a line I would sing a line I would sing a line and that was like the main song in anything goes she gives me a look like my voice is gone so right there on the spot instinctively I look down and you know like the pit conductor for the band

looks up at me and just points at me and for the rest of the song I sang my part and her part and made it seem like it was just my song and at that moment I'm like I think I could be a professional broadcaster Wow and then for the following show

for the encore later on Rich painted one side like a woman and he would just flip side and again he won a high school acting award that was a yeah wow dude that's a pretty cool story though because that happened like live in the moment she's like I can't sing she tried to at the first line of...

Oh! That is... Yeah, that's a matter of nerves. And, yeah, and I was just like, all right, and I just started singing her words. You stepped up. You know, again, you see this in real sports all the time, in real life all the time.

We have two stories in the past few weeks that we're sharing with you. Times you had to step up in those moments. And, you know, they're nerve-wracking. Sometimes you deliver. Sometimes you don't. But if you don't, were you really expected to anyway, right?

So it might be a little embarrassing, but it wasn't on you. I've a good fictional one, but it's a great example. of this. I actually liked your story, by the way. It's just corny because, yeah, it's high school. I got a high school one, too. We all watched, I mean, I don't know if you did.

We talked about friends earlier. How I met your mother was one of my favorite shows in the 2000s. And there's an episode where Robin Shabotsky played by Colby Smolders, Robin is a news anchor on the local, like, Channel 1 local news. It was a big New Year's Eve event. And that

you know, the funny guy that's like the sexual harassing boss, she had Sandy Rivers on New Year's Eve, the big ball drop broadcast, he dips away to get with some woman and they're like, someone's on in five, four, three, and she grabbed the mic and that was like her big break. Ah, so it's like, you know, a lot of times, you know, you got to take that moment and run with it, a la Tom Brady, a la, you know. Wally, Lou Gehrig.

La, me and the Broadway show. No, these are all great moments and big stories. Jacob de Grom. I mean, how many times do you see, dude, we're talking about him during the commercial break in the hallway. Me and Big Brandon here, both Niners fans. Brock Purdy could very well be a backup quarterback, maybe not even the league making $7,800,000 as a backup, maybe a million. Jimmy G. goes down. Before that, Tray Lance doesn't work out.

Brock Purdy seized his moment more than anyone else. I can even think of in the last five years. The guy's going to end up making over $50 million a year because he was given an opportunity and he was ready. That's a great, yeah. He might be like the greatest answer. of that since Tom Brady. I know that sounds crazy because he hasn't accomplished that much, but Rich is right.

He would have been just a regular quarterback. Mr. Irrelevant, man. Barely getting by. He would have been a forgotten backup. We're talking about Chador Sanders in the fifth round. I'm like, oh my God. Brock Purdy was the last chosen in the draft. Last person

chosen. Like, all right, and the draft is wrap it up. Who's funny, Mr. Irrelevant? Brock Purdy. He didn't think it was that funny. he got a chance. And you know what? He was probably thinking he had faith in himself and said, if I ever get a chance, man, I'm going to show them what I got.

Even as you said, they would always talk about in practice, guys like Fred Warner and respected defenders would say, when this kid gets a chance, you see he wants it. There was an American Legion championship game I was in. And it was from 13 to 16, the team I was on. And the 16-year-old All-State, All-American, I'm not exaggerating. like all-American, all-state athlete that I played with was pitching the championship game. You're probably on the 13-year-old as a 16-year-old.

You're like Daniel Monte. Yeah, no, I was 13, right? And the guy pitching the championship game was the guy you had all the confidence in the world in. Like, oh, man, he's pitching. He's no longer alive, unfortunately. You know, but shout out to him. But he's pitching the championship game, and he comes out in, like, the second inning with, like, elbow flare up. It's like the – no, it was like the first inning, second first inning.

And they're like, Covino, I'm 13-year-old kid. I'm like, I'm pitching the championship game. I had no, I was not expecting that. Dude, pitched it, won it. And again, that's just one goofy little story that happens time and time again over and over and over. But again, the times you had to step up in life and deliver. Hit us up at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. And now, you know, I thought of one more.

I'm sorry, just one more quickie. Because it doesn't always work out. I just want to give you the flip side. We're talking about the people where you get an opportunity and it doesn't work out. You know who we always forget? Who? Unfortunately, the spot starter that gives up six runs in the first inning. Yeah, it's not always a good thing.

The backup quarterback who throws three picks and is like, all right, he's never going to get another chance. The NBA, you know, player that gets a shot in the G league to be on the squad, plays the 13 minutes, you know, turns the ball over and gets no points. I don't want to, like, bring up weird memories, but I heard a broadcast recently where some, guy was like you can't be broadcast in here and uh an anchor that works here had to take over the broadcast like mid broadcast it was pretty sweet you know it was a pretty sweet transition like almost like flawless in the middle of an interview in the middle of an interview too and that guy is still at the anchor desk to this day that's and i'm looking at this guy right now he did a great job not all heroes

wear capes i know but again that's like stepping up like you see these things happen and that's what happened twice in the past few weeks again then is scott and And who was it again for, I'm Ed Farid. You know what? Backup quarterbacks in college a lot of times someone goes down and you hope that maybe that guy has an opportunity. You see it at Alabama all the time because they have a, you know, they're pretty deep. Next guy up gets a chance, whether it's young or before that tour. You know, like it's always a guy that's getting a shot.

I always think back to that one ball game. And I don't know why I'm drawing a blank. Texas quarterback who got injured on the first game of the first play of the national championship. Cole McCoy. Cole McCoy. Now, whoever the backup was, we forget because that guy had an opportunity to be like, it's the national championship. Colt McCoy gets injured on the first series. Amen.

But he wasn't. And we don't even know who it is. You know why we don't know? Because they stunk in the game was at it. It was Garrett Gilbert. Gary Gilbert, no offense to him. They actually made it competitive. And then Alabama pulled away.

Yeah. There's probably so many moments. If someone gets sick, someone has to step up. 3721, yeah. So again, your stories, your examples, hit us up at Covino and Ridge at Fox Sports Radio. Right now, I ask you guys to call at 87799 on Fox. If you want to play Shaq Diesel trivia, again, NBA playoffs heating up.

We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast. Well, we didn't invent it.

We just contributed to a podcast. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. 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. 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.

Remember when Kinnikki hit his head and he couldn't drive against who was it? I forget. But I will say what you described, there's as they call like a movie. Zuko had a drive Thunder Road as they call like a movie trope. Yeah.

Remember I dance with the Jabu Kvark? Remember the time I had to step up and fight sugar. Shane Mosley, remember that? Remember all those times you had to step up to the free throw line? Remember the time? Yeah. Remember all those times? I'd have to step up and miss those foul shots.

What did you think of Homegren missing those two big shots last night? You were very reminiscent of my days. Of my days. He'll have to make up for it in game too. Well, I'll tell you what, check, four-time NBA champ, the three-pee with the Lakers, and then, you know, I was under check. Was that Miami he won just as nice? Because, you know, you got to branch away?

Absolutely. Absolutely. I thought so. All right. I got time to waste. Let's meet the contestants. 10-time winner, Rich Davis, right over there. Spotty's out until tomorrow, so the leader in the clubhouse to the right of me,

13-time winner, Dan Byer. Hello. Hey, happy anniversary. Thank you, Sha. And even Shaq. How did you know? I got to an icy hot gift basket. And looking to win a CNN, stainless steel swinging.

He might pull something tonight. On our studio lines and say hi to Austin and Idaho. Austin. Austin. What's up, brother? What's up, Boston? Hey, what's going on? Austin, what do you do for a living there?

I work over at Costco. Nice, man. By the way, you know what the hot item is at Costco? Yeah, chicken bake. No, not the chicken bake. I feel like every little kid's team in sports has that speaker when you walk in, that like weatherproof speaker for all the announcements. 79 bucks, I think, yeah.

All right, here are the rules for Shaq Diesel trivia. The first contestant with two correct answers is the champ. If there's a tie, we have a tie. record question five time champ four time four time your name is your buzzer but you do have to wait until all three possible answers are read if there's two wrong answers in a row we move on to the next question are you ready let's go let's get it on all right let's get this big aristotle party started which player was the first to win two NBA final MVP awards was it a willis read was it be will chamberlain or was a C larry bird which player was the first to win two

NBA finals, MVP's. I'm giving Austin a chance to chime in, Austin. Nothing to lose. Austin. Austin. Yeah, let's go B. B, Wilk Chamberlain, no. Oh, Rich. Rich for the steel.

Willis Reed? Yes, sir. That's correct. 1970, 1973 with the Knicks. Yep. By the way, they got a shot. Knicks looking good. Rich on the board so far as we go to round two.

Round two. What was I once quoted saying about league? leadership. A. When I noticed my teammates going through the motions, I slam them awake with a monster dunk. B, our coach will yell until his voice is gone. I just shoot my guys a look and they know I mean business. Or C. Generals don't panic. Then the troops never panic. What did I say about leadership? Damn, Byer. I'm going to say B. No. Austin for the steel, yeah? See?

C? Yes, sir. Generals don't panic. Then the troops never panicking. I just couldn't think that Shaq or Danny G. would make up that quote. I know. Shack had such a hard time reading. But, hey.

I'd have something in my eye, Dan. Rich and Austin both on the board as we moved to round third. Hold on. Didn't Shaq also say a go with the general? and save some time? He did say that. Okay, all right. Just checking. Round three now.

Which former NBA player has the highest career free throw percentage? Is it A, Mark Price, B, Steve Nash, or C, Rick Barry? Austin. Austin. I'm going to go. B. Steve Nash? Yes, and the win.

Let's go. Austin walks away with a C&R. Swirgy. Steve Nash. He also gets shoutouts from who? Steve Nash gets a shot. Oh, that's a good question. An M&M? No. Steve Nash. Oh, would Fergie? I don't know. No. Who? I forget, but she's got a big dumper.

What's her name? You know the girl. She sings. Melly Frittato? There it is. Nelly Furtado. Mellie Furtado shouts out Steve Nash. Steve Nash shot over 90% from the line. You know what's so funny? I was so sure of myself. And by the way, congrats, Austin. You got that Swiggy. Congratulations.

With the swaggy. When you were saying that question, Shaq, I wrote down, before you even give the answers, I wrote down Mark Price. I was for certain because, don't you remember when we were kids? Like, that was the one thing he was known for? Like, free throws, that was it? Steve Nash, highest career free throw percent, 90 percent. Kind of the opposite of me.

But thank you guys. I have to work tonight. I have things to do. But it's always fun. Later, buddy. I want to specify, too, for former players, because obviously Steph Curry is tops on that list at 91%. Thank you, D&G. That's impressive.

Let's see, Shaq. See you, Shaqie. Later, guys. Be realistic, guys. I'm not saying any of us. Love Shaq, baby. Just later, buddy. Be realistic. Later, Shaq. Realistic.

Later, man. None of us here play pickup basketball like we're Jason McIntyre from the herd. None of us are Coach Gottlieb that have, you know, constantly on the court with their team. If I gave you 100 free throws. Yeah, but I played double dribble. If I gave you 100 free throws and you put money on the line, like money on the line, what would you guess would be your percentage out of 100 shots? Free throw, if I go to- Do we get any practice or warm-up or is this coming off the bench ice cold?

You can warm up if I said, Danny, you can warm up right now. We start at 4 o'clock Pacific. You're like 20 minutes to warm up. You could shoot around, dribble, get some water, whatever you need to do. But I said in 20 minutes from right now, I'm going to give you 100 free throws. You can take a couple breaks. They don't need to be all in a row. You have an hour.

Take 100 free throws. How many are you hitting? I would do it for fun. But how many do you think you're getting? I would say we'd be lucky to get 40 out of the 100. Danny's correct. I'm thinking over 60 because once you get in a rhythm, once you find that rhythm,

man, a rhythm is going to catch you. I think in our heads we think we could get 60, but realistically 40. I don't remember when in the season it was, but I distinctly remember at one point in high school, I saw my stats and I was a 57% free throw shooter. Oh, really? Yeah. And I felt I was.

I was good. Wow. Yeah, like, no, I didn't think I was good. I was just appalled at how bad that it was. I'm like, wow, I'm that. Only 57%. Yeah. You know, DB, I was going to say I would be very impressed with myself,

but I consider myself a pretty athletic, active guy, right? And I would say I'd be impressive if I could hit 50%. Because, yeah, but Steven Nash, 90%. That is pretty sweet. I think you're, it's like one of those things where the average idiot thinks they could do more than they can athletically, which is why they have shows. Like remember pros versus Joe's Petros was the host of that.

I don't know. It's a good question. In fact, I feel like if we're bored one day, why don't we take the physical challenge? Go across the street 24-hour fitness. Shoot some out of 100? I would do it for the fun of it just to answer the question. Let's put it to the physical. Let's take the physical challenge.

Who would come in last place? VJ. Husky. Spot. VJ. Husky would come in last place. He'd be like, ah, my muscles are hurting. I told you, I told you. I told you my muscles hurt. You would get tired.

The only reason I lost because my muscles are too big. I think VJ's whooped way more often than we think. I think I'd probably be the one who'd end up in last. Really? Yeah. Come on, Sam. Let's do it one day. Let's do it.

You know, it's again. Props to Steve Nash. 90% and what is Steph Curry currently, do you know? 91. Wow. Man, that is crazy. We're running late. Sorry, DB.

I know you hate when we run late. I do. I do, especially when I. I've got big news that I've been sitting on for about 10 minutes.

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. Mm-hmm. 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. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential.

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. No, there it is. Yeah, Shaq was right, man.

I forgot about the Steve Nash shoutout in Primiscusous Girl. Nelly Furtado. Fun fact. Here's a fun fact. I've known Camino for a long-ass time. When this song came out, we were friends. and we were probably at a bar talking to some random girls or something. And you thought this song was Mysterious girl or mystery girl?

Mystery girl. Mystery girl. Which caught me singing it. I was like, dude, what are you singing? He goes mystery girl. Mystery girl? Mystery girl. Yeah, whoever you was a mystery. It makes sense.

But here's a fun fact. Timbalan went to high school with not only Missy Elliott, but he went to high school with Pharrell Williams. You ought to watch the piece-by-piece documentaries.

Again, Covino and Rich, because we can't live without our radio. Now, speaking of preset Fox Sports Radio, one of the other shows, we're very friendly with great guys, Kelvin and Rob Parker. Love their show. The odd couple. Great guys. Love their show. I want to settle debate. I'm sure they may talk about this on their show at some point. Kelvin put on Instagram story.

settle a debate. Do adults eat cereal with milk on a daily basis? How often? And the options were, yes, all the time. Some days, rarely or what am I, a kid? I saw this. Rarely for me. However, I'm a former serial killer when I was a kid.

That's all I ate. Don't tell my mom that, though. She's offended. So there's a couple questions here. Number one, what are the foods that were out of your life for decades then you have kids and it reenters? Because that's cereal for me. Like, I probably went 20 years of my life, probably for you. from 20 to 40 without cereal.

And then now your kids are in the mix. Dino Nuggies come back. Yeah, like fruit roll-ups are in my pantry. You're eating gushers again. Yeah. So I'm going to go, I'll rare, on occasion, maybe a late-night edible or if I'm just got the munchies or something, I'll pour a bowl of cereal. If you had to give me your go-to cereal.

Mm-hmm. Like my one to live on? That's easy. I'm so torn because my debate, my inner debate is fruity pebbles or cinnamon toast crunch, and I can't decide. But hold on. Here's my question. Is it without any repercussion?

Like, I could just eat them for those my life? No calories. It's like when you go to a bakery, if I had to stay healthy, I would have picked a lame choice. When I, when my wife and I are like a bakery, I always say, look in the bakery thing. If calories didn't matter, what would you house right now? This is the easiest question, again, former.

I'm like the dexter of cereal. I housed this. I'm a serial killer. My answer is Coco Pebbles number one all day. Eat it by the box because it always came in a like slightly. smaller box, I would eat them at a box a sitting. So you go cocoa over. Because you get that chocolatey, delicious milk at the end.

Cocoa pebbles, my answer number one on the board. I mean, I would argue that cocoa and fruity pebbles are equally good. See, but to me, they taste like tricks a little bit, fruity pebbles. I don't not like fruity pebbles, but cocoa pebbles is my answer. I'd say cocoa puffs is right up there. You're a puff kind of guy, huh? You're cuckoo for cocoa puffs. I would say, what's your go-to, sugary, terrible for your cereal?

This is going to sound lame, but my favorite cereal is rice checks. I can say that. People make checks mix. We get clearly populated. Rice checks with like 2% milk, to me is just something satisfying about it. We used to put spoonfuls of sugar on top of that cereal. Dude, in my family, Cheerios or Rice Krispies, like plain cereal. I like Honey Nut Cheerios too. I like Honey Nut Cheerios.

My family, we ate bootyOs, bro. BootyOs. Frosted Flakes was a go-to, too, when we were kids. But, I mean, I feel like I'm the only one that even brought up cinnamon toast crunch. Is this not? No. Cylentilch is good. Yeah, we have that in our pantry right now.

Cinnamon Toes crunch. That's going to be calling Danny's name late tonight. Late tonight. I eat the healthy granola cereal. I'll tell you what my favorite sugar one. It's a special K with the chocolate and strawberries. Ooh, special K. That's like a divorced mom's favorite cereal.

That is a good one. I like that one. But yeah, my answer, Cocoa Pebbles, what's your answer? And why? Because they post this Kelvin post this question. I'd say cereal for an adult. Once a week. My dude, Kelvin, K-dub live on Instagram.

Vote for yourself, our good friends at The Odd Couple, who are on Fox Sports Radio right after us. But I'm going to go some days. I'm going to vote some days. Remember that variety pack? Yeah, some days because you have little rug reds on it. And Rob Parker loves to save money. I think that he would probably get corn flakes and put his own sugar on top of it.

I love Apple Jacks. Wait, is Rob the type of guy that buys the store brand? Like in a bag? I like tastyOs. Not Cheerio's, tasty. Oh. Tastyo. We'll see you guys tomorrow.
