your podcast. We appreciate that. Coming up, what are you going to say? Bob, coming up, I was going to say, Check Diesel Trivia. Yeah, buddy. Giving away a Swiggy. And whose image has changed the most in your mind when it comes to sports and entertainment

because Brett Favre our producer's spot, our associate producer, our video producer spot. He has changed a lot. Yeah. Yeah. Because when we first met him, Richel, Rich always says that he had like a Jonah Hill vibe. about him? I used to say, if you

met Spot and you didn't immediately love him, something was wrong. Now Spot walks around with the tank top, like he's in Adonis. Now it's like, if you like Spot, I'm curious why. I'm kidding. I've never heard my entire life. Right. He's not the same guy. That's evolution, baby.

Look, you can't stay the same. And I got to say, look, respectfully, when it comes to Bill Belichick, I'm not mad at the guy. I don't care at all. You're just dating a young hottie. Leave me a But it is the story. It's a hot story.

You can't ignore the story. No one emptied up the interview where she's like, we're not talking about that. Yeah, no doubt. That to me was the, this was like a little flame in a forest. That interview clip to me poured a tub of gasoline on it. It really did to me. Hold on though, Rich.

I don't want to sound like a double-talking hypocrite. Like double-talking Davis, yeah. Like Chatterbox Davis, I don't want to double-talk. Like me? Okay. If it was my daughter and she was, 24-year-old dating a 74-old. Yeah, you better believe I would care. But no is my problem.

You know, if this is what makes them happy, for sure. But, I mean, we'd be doing a disservice to not acknowledge the story. It's a hot story. And not only is it a hot story, but the story grows. Did you hear the other story today? I did. There's layers. Brett Farv got a new boat.

No, not Brett Farv. I mean, Bill Belichick got a new, well, Brett Farv's. We're trying to get a new boat so he could just sail away and never be seen again. Mississippi paid for a new boat. So we just got a new boat based off he stole people's money. Byer insinuated that there is a rumor of Belichick being engaged. Yeah. And, hey, I wish him all the best.

You saw the headline with the boat, right? The boat is the other side of the story. Not far, Belichick, where he got a new paint job on his boat. They go to Meko? and I believe he used to read like eight rings or something, right? That was the name of the boat, eight rings. Yeah. Something like that.

And now it's repainted as one plus eight rings. Oh, man. So where's the other ring that adds fuel to the engagement fire? And of course, you wished them all the best. Who really gives a diddley squat, right, about their relationship? But it is front and center. And you have changed or maybe have made some sort of different assessment because here's a leader of men. the most alpha men in all the land.

And it appears he's being bossed around by a young woman, which is odd to see. Is that the facts? Is that the case? Maybe that's what he likes. We don't know, but that's what we're led to believe. But you definitely have a different image of the guy. You would have never pictured Bill Belichick, the type of guy to be hanging around a 24-year-old woman. So his image has changed.

My image changed when he was doing yoga moves with her on the beach. I was like, wow, he's up there. He was doing like the fly-like Superman that you do with your kid. Right, right. And from that moment on, I'm like, you know what? I don't hate him. You know, to me, my stance all along has been, if Bill Belichick is a guy that dedicated 50 years of his life to football. And now that he's like 70, he has a single guy.

74. If Bill Belichick's the type of guy that's like, you know what, I'm going to tap some young ass before it's all over. God bless him. I'm not that girl's father. But still. And you know what? don't look at him the same way. I don't.

And that's what we're talking about. So it's not from a judgey place. We're just telling you the story as it is. And we'll keep you posted on the rumors. And then, of course, the other story today involves Brett Farv. We all knew the story. We all knew the shady side of Brett Farv. But no one really ever talked about it.

It's like he got his coverage as you thought it was. It's like he got by unscathed because he was such a hero on the field that the fact that he was a piece of trash with women and Jen Sturger among others in that Jets organization and the fact that that you know there was you know the money in Mississippi like Brett Farr, his true colors are being shown today and I think moving forward

everyone's going to just hate Brett Ful. Well if he just joined us again, we bring him up specifically because after today you're going to know the untold story, the fall of Farr debuted on Netflix and people are buzzing about it like damn Danny G came in today and Danny G

knew the stories but hearing it firsthand on this documentary. You were like, yo, man, he was a piece of truth. What did you say? I don't want to misquote you. I just think that half the people are still going to ignore this, though. Wow. Yeah, that's what it...

But you said it was legit. Like, it did not make him look good. Yeah, like when Sturgis was talking, I believed her. Yeah. You know, and I don't think there's any reason anybody probably shouldn't with the story and the facts. Like, she has proof of what happened through text messages, emails, everything. else and then there were witnesses to her side of things including people in this room right and then so i mean

like facts you know but then the second the second half of the dock though with the money it's for the underserved the money is supposed to go to the underprivileged in that state and so that probably will bother you even more yeah it's a welfare fraud scheme that he was a part of and you learn all about that when you go home later tonight you're probably going to have a different opinion of brett farm your friends are going to be talking about it but rich says despite these two stories that are big and front and center today, there's still a number one

image change in the world of sports. It's undeniable. And, you know, the matter what happens, no matter what athlete goes heel or gets arrested or does something dumb or anything, nothing will ever trump. No one will ever trump

the perception of O.J. Simpson. Or Renthal James. And I still think, yeah, that is the number one. it will always be the number one. I mean, we're talking about a guy that was the most loved player broadcaster. As I say in many of the documentaries, he was an African-American man that racist white guys liked. Like, he crossed every demographic age, sex, race, everything.

People loved OJ Simpson. He was a naked gun. He was a broadcaster. He can't even explain it to people. The Hertz commercials. My girlfriend who's slightly younger than me, when I try to explain to her the importance and significance of OJ. And I always have to say, like, imagine Shaquille O'Neill. Or Strahan was the other one.

Or Michael Schrahan. Like, beloved, but even more love than them, arguably. You know? Imagine they went on a murder spree. When you say a younger girlfriend, Jordan, like, no Belichick, right? No Belichick. Okay. Yeah, I have to, yeah, no Belichick.

You just said murder spree, so Aaron Hernandez would have to be way up there on the list because it's multiple kills. Yeah, definitely. But he was always known as a bit of a weirdo, right? As an outcast. Yeah, but we all heard. that he had cleaned up his act. It was the Belichick and Patriots way

and the effect of their organization. And so we thought he was like one of those great stories. And as a casual fan, you didn't know the back story. You just knew this dude was tearing it up. He was a great tight end. And all of a sudden he killed people. Danny, I don't discount your answer. It's in the top.

It's on the list. Without a doubt. But I just think that Aaron Hernandez was always like, yo, that guy's a little rough around the edges. Because of where he was from and his friends and all that. But what my point, which was we were all told that this was this great American story about how he got a second chance and he totally cleaned up his life. Yeah, not the case.

And you know what? It doesn't have to be all negative, right? Because I get throw Tom Brady into that conversation. I think that after his retirement, I have a totally different understanding of who Tom Brady is and what he's about. And he became a hell of a lot more likable to me after retirement. Once he got away from the whole Patriots way and, and again, we started to see a different side of the guy, image shift completely,

because I thought he was like a stiff, boring sort of vanilla guy. Really funny, personable dude. So it doesn't have to be all doom and gloom. Yeah, so image changes in the world of sports and entertainment. Who did you go from loving to hating, hating to loving? I just think after you watch this far of documentary, if there was still a party that's like, yeah, man, hero, Brett Farm, I think you're going to think differently.

And I don't judge Belichick, but to say that it's not a. different impression than the hard nose my life is football now when you're you're seeing him being all cutesy with his 20-something year old girlfriend you may not be offended I'm not offended but I do look at him

differently like in my mind I thought he only cared about football now I'm like no he cares about booty yeah I know yeah definitely why else would he different look yeah like I think that's a funny part sports isn't ignoring because sports doesn't like to you know but you know what rich we're not sexual stuff but let's be honest

sports people don't like to dive into the sexual part of things is it's a little taboo. But why are we ignoring the fact that there's a reason you get with a hot young woman when you're a powerful older man? If you don't think sex is a motivator, you think they're hanging out because she's cool? We have a lot in common. Do you think because, oh, we share a love of art? No.

What do you think about the Vietnam War? Bill Pellichick. I live through it. You didn't. Billalich. Bill DeWatch. He's grabbing a hold of some young hot bod that he probably thought he would never do again. Why are we pretending that's

not the real part of this? And the other weird part about it is not only do we look at him different. You don't think his young players look at him in a different way. Probably both, yeah. Yeah, like, oh man, hey, you know what he's into. And that's not the kind of look you want for a guy in a leadership

position. Our society has always kind of glorified it, though. Look at Hugh Hefner. Yeah, I was going to say, like, midlife crisis buying a sports car. Yeah, it's weird. And you know what, though? If he wins, though, it's all forgiven. it's all good. So that cures and fixes everything. A la Brett Favreve. Look how long we ignored the

Brett Fartf thing because he's a superstar. So image shift the ruse. Let's get back to it. Let's go to Josh in Ohio. And then we'll go around the room here. What's up? Josh. Hey guys. Mid, mid-weight, I actually changed my answer. Originally, I was going to go with Vince McMahon, but

you inspired me to go from positive to negative back to positive. And that's Michael Vic. We started out. We loved him as a college quarterback. The pit bull thing happened. And now he's back to being a commentator. So he's changed his image from positive to negative back to positive. And I think he needs a lot of flowers for that. Speaking of, and I think that's a great answer. Isn't he in this documentary? He's a big contributor. Yeah, he's part of this Brett Farr's documentary because he's all over the trailer.

Michael Vick was hated more for messing with animals than people are for murdering humans. There are people that are like, I will never forgive Michael Vick. The tales of that story are awful. Horrible. Let's not downplay that. I know, I know. Totally. But for him. The simple fact is if he was, quote, rehabilitated and now fights for animal rights and does stuff

and he's a positive force, then what a great turnaround. And that's a great answer from Josh. It is a great answer because you saw all different sides of it. What did Josh say his original answer was? Vince McBan. That's a great one because Vince McGrath was a man, a business genius that took wrestling from sweaty

you know, hairy guys grappling to a billion dollar sports entertainment world and then you find out, oh man, he's into weird stuff. Vince. Here's the tough part that, and why I think the Michael Vick answer is magnificent.

Nobody here thinks that guy seems like he could be a murderer. So when you're talking about image and the OJ thing, I just don't think that you can, because nobody would think that. Like if it was like, oh, this guy went and slept with a bunch of different

women or whatever, like, oh, it didn't seem, seem like he was a family. But when you get to the murder part of it, I don't think anybody could see that, like at all. Like, it's, I think, I think it's more of an extreme. And that's what makes the Vick so good. And what I think that the, like, my recommendation was Tiger Woods for of loved, for everything that we thought that he was, not knowing who they are behind the scenes. And then has the scandal with all the different women and then comes back and is reloved again as he wins in the 40s and is then looked at as a dad, you know, of his two kids. Yeah, that's a really great answer too.

I just think when you have like a murder or the Hernandez situation, same thing and how he ultimately, you know. Yeah, murder shocking. Animal cruelty, though. That's really what it comes down to. You're like, man, yeah, I don't have never guessed that. Yeah, that's the part where. And then Tiger Woods, you know what he always.

picture. Do you guys remember the SNL bit where Tim Meadows played like a goofy Tiger Woods? Do you remember that bit or Tim Meadows? He's like, you know, being all goofy? Because Tyke was like a real goofball, all shucks kind of guy. When you heard these stories about what a womanizer he was, you're like, what? Tiger Woods? Listen, I'm not trying to defend Tiger Woods. But and then again, he's beloved again. I look at Tiger Woods in Bill Belchick. I'm not saying the same, but when you're so dedicated to something, the way Tiger Woods was so discipline with golf, the way Bill Belichick dedicated 50 years to, you know, I'm going to win at every level of football assistant coach, coach, most Super Bowl rings. I think there's a party that forgets

men's downfall so many of times is women. And like it wasn't shocking to me that Tiger Woods mixed in with emotional championships and injuries in life. You don't think Tiger Woods like every other man had a soft spot for a good looking woman. It sounds ridiculous and so juvenile. But look at politics, look at sports. So many downfalls revolve around women. Sure. It was the extent of what Tiger was doing as well with so many different women at different times.

What was the end count? Is it 18? I don't know. 18 holes of golf, not 18. I think it was. I think it was, man. I think it was. Stop.

But you're right, Dan. And then totally reinvented himself again. So it's sort of on that Michael Vick era of we saw how the image changed twice or three times. I mean, again, we forget that with great power and success and money, a man could very well fall into a world of women

that may not be there for the right reasons. And trust me, Tiger Woods, when you look back now, you're like, dude, since he was a little boy, golfing, success, greatest of all time, injuries take place. Everything has the equation to fall. And women is a great reason. Yeah. So let's say hi to Mark and the Q's have some dinosaur barbecue.

What's up, buddy? Hey, Mark. We got Mark? There we go. Mark. Mark. Hey, buddy. What's up?

What's up, bud? I didn't even think of him. But the one I was kidding. Yeah, Ryan Leaf was one of those guys that, He's also self-admittedly had, you know, his demons, but what a great guy he is every time we see him. He's always been cool with us. So Ryan Leaf is a guy that high hopes ended up in prison. Right.

Now we see Ryan Leaf at sports events, footballs, media rose. Ryan Leaf is the first got to stop and have a great conversation with you, really good guy. Health, a big priority. Like, he's fit and looks great. So, yeah, he's definitely turned it around. Delaware. What's up, Jimmy? Adrian Pitchison

Yeah, I mean AP with the hall Remember the switch And hitting the kid Right? That was the thing like That was a big moment Yeah

That was a big debate His son Yeah And now he's having He's in some serious Financial Deep waters Yeah

And the story of You know How to discipline your own kid And he got a DY recently too What was common For certain cultures Not common for

Everybody It opened up a lot of eyes And yeah He's he's one of those That deal with that What about I think Alex Rodriguez is quite the turnaround. Yeah.

What about Roger Clemens? Well, that's a good one. You're kind of an under the radar. And the reason I bring it up is here's a guy when you think of back when we were growing up, I mean, you would think that he would just be a legendary Red Sox player, right? And so then he goes and plays for the Yankees and the Blue Jays and all those teams. And then with the PED scandal. and now like when you're looking back at like those eight like it's just like yeah it's a little different wasn't rocket roger yeah

you know what's crazy about that too dan is how yeah he won sye youngs with a lot of those teams and the yankees even turned their back on the guy and you never saw him in any highlight videos until recently he was brought to spring training or whatever but that's the first we saw him i think even this year was the first we saw him there so as a guy who you believed was all about baseball and all about the Red Sox, like you said. Ended up being viewed as not the guy we remembered, for sure. Image changers a la... I think I like the A-Rod answer too a lot.

Fav and Belichick and a lot of people where one day you feel one way. By the way, A-Rod, the broadcaster totally, like, redeemed any sort of cringy moments he may have had. Kavino and I both agree that A-Rod went from putts, like, puts that just couldn't get it right, but yet a legend, to a broadcaster. that's very likable. Like just recently, remember. I love his analysis. Remember recently he just, he was walking past, grabbed the two kids.

Kids were playing cornhole. He grabbed it, threw it, nailed the shot. He's like, yeah. Like, A-Rod's sort of likable. Got busted twice for PEDs. I know. Like, we just, you know, you just mentioned, you know, Roger Clemens in that, like, conversation.

And I'm not saying that that's still being held against Roger Clemens. Hughes, I thought his profile just would have been bigger than what it is. And Arod got busted twice. The Yankees, as he said, well, the Yankees couldn't wait to get rid of A-Rod either. But, yeah, but now, front and center everywhere. He'll be front and center tonight, probably in Oklahoma City

as the T-Wolves owner. Let's say hi to Greg. We'll wrap it up in Hartford. Then we'll play a little Shaq Diesel trivia. If you want in, 877-99 on Fox. We'll get a contest and Danny G. will line that up. We'll give away a stainless steel Swiggy. What's up, Greg? Harford.

Looking at this is, who am I not getting a selfie with because it would just blow up my feed? Like, why would you do it? So, who I would not get a selfie with is Lance Armstrong. Don't have time for that. But I would, and then, but one of redemption is plasticoburst. I would love to get a selfie with him. So there you go. Those are my two. Yeah, he's on our network now. You know, based on his assessment of the selfie, OJ would be the most controversial one. Because we were on, you know, before he died. Do you remember this day?

Yeah, of course. I mean, how much it was the one that. pointed about. You guys were like, what? He was wearing a Bill's hat, too. He was in row one seat A of our Southwest flight from Burbank to Las Vegas. And he was greeting everyone, like little headnods. It's like, oh, hey, juice. Oh, my God, it's OJ Simpson. I was hoping Carma didn't play a part in our flight. And Kavino, the

whole flight was like, you know, if this flight goes down, people will cheer. Damn it. I know. And when we were about to get off the plane, we joked, Danny. Do you remember saying, like, yeah, if you got the Huevos to get a selfie with OJ, like 100 bucks? Like, yeah. So the rest of your answers.

We also said if that plane had unfortunately crashed, the headline would be football legend dies. And no one can about us. And murderer dies. And two radio hosts. Yeah, we need. Two radio clowns, I think is what we agreed on. Two radio clowns. And the reason we bring this up, guys, image shifts, image changes is because there's two stories today.

Bill Belichick might be engaged to his 24-year-old girlfriend, renamed his boat. One plus eight rings. Not the Bill Belichick you knew a year or two ago. And Brett Farve, after you see this documentary that premiered today, you'll probably think differently of the guy. No doubt. All right. Well, hey, you want in?

We'll play some Shaq Diesel trivia coming up. And we'll pay tribute to a TV legend who passed away. If you don't know, we'll give you the sad news coming up. All here on Kavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio. Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, new?

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 around 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. 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, 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.

I'm Renee Stubbs. And on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast, I'm breaking. breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris, every match, every upset, and what it really

takes to win on Clay. Jenchen 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.

Others say it's unleashing human potential.

Norm from Cheers.

Died peacefully in his sleep. That's the update there. By the way, just to put in perspective, you know how we talk about how, for some reason back of the day, you look at your parents' yearbook and everyone looks like they're 30 in high school? Dude's had full-on mutton chops.

They were 50 years old in high school. TV dads of the 80s. You're like, how old are they? According to the stats, the cast of cheers. When you're looking at the group shot, they've labeled the ages.

And I bring that up Sam because I feel like most of us have lost our grandparents, right? You think of your old grandma and grandpa and the people that help raise us. You'd be a grandma's house.

My grandmother wore a mumu. My grandfather was a World War II veteran who like brushed his hair back and washed his hands with like lava soap after he worked on his car in the driveway. My grandpa watched his face with lava so. They looked like they were 80 when they were 55. And I look at my dad and my mom now who are roughly both around 70. They look 20 years younger than my grandparents looked at that age. So when you look back at the 80s and you're like, wait a minute, hold on.

Like these TV dads are supposed to be 30? They look 50. I don't they just we age differently. Look at me. I look like a little man boy. Look at me. You are a man boy. A little man boy.

He said in the 90s.

David Stern asked him. David Stern says, do you want to play in a hot or cold place? You're stealing all of Shaq's material. Well, you know what? Well, you know what? We'll talk to Shaq in a second. No, I mean, he already said it. He asked, David Stern asked Shaq,

you want to play where it's hot or cold? And Shaq said, where it's hot. And he ended up in Orlando. What if he was just asking his preference? Well, why? What do you prefer? I just coincidental. Let's do what I was saying.

You know why the Lakers were an obvious good answer? Because do you know how many years they lost to the Celtics back in the day? This guy's always justifying. I love what he's so confident. Why are you talking to Shaq like that? Every time he loses. But so wrong. You talk to Cavino like that.

You can't talk to Shaq like that. You better stick my foot up your ass, Shaq. You better relax. All right. Nobody on the board yet. Let's go to round two. What was I once quote of saying about my habits? Oh, here we go.

A, excellence is not a singular act but a habit. What are you repeat? You are what you repeatedly do. B, I've got three habits I've dealt with, cars, women, and collecting businesses.

Spot. I want to go with C. No. Ah, man. Neil, you're going to jump in or what? I'll go a beat. You'd be wrong. Come on.

So how did we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it.

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

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 went. 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, Lena 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.

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 IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. T-wolves and the Thunder, Thunder.

Game one, a couple hours away. I got a bet for you. A little wager. Draft Kings, pick six. But I'm not going six because I like my odds. I got a $10 wins 80, Danny J. You want to hear this bad boy? Let's go.

But you know what? I'm going to make everybody wait because we're live from the Fox Sports Radio Studio. Why? And for over 40 years, Tyraq 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. So at

TireRack.com the way tire buying should be. Thanks again to TireRack. Let's hear it, Rich. Here's what I like. Now, a lot of times Draft Kings does this cool thing where they sort of give you a gimmie. You ever see these things where it's like Anthony Edwards, more than 0.5 points because they want you to, you know, want you

to play. Sure. I'm taking advantage of the sweet offerings from Draf King. So here's what I'm doing. It's Anthony Edwards more than half a point. It was 25 and a half, but they're giving that to you as like the little bonus. So I'm going more than Anthony, more than 0.5 for Anthony Edwards.

And for also Minnesota, Julius Randall more than 19 and a half. He scored 20 or more in, I think, five of the last six games. So Julius Randall needs to hit 20 or more. Now, Alex Caruso on the other side of things. OKC, he's had double-digit games. I think also like six of the last seven games.

He bawled out in that game seven. So eight and a half, you know, just think Crusoe to get nine. I like that. And the one risky one I did, because he has proven to just be a big game player. You're likely MVP. SGA more than 31.5.

So you need 32 from SGA, 20 from Randall, double digits for Caruso, and Anthony Edwards just to score a point. And that's 10 bucks. wins you 80. Are they that? Ten buckaroos?

Yeah, ten bucks win jaded. Wow. Why not, right? Yeah. By the way, I'm thinking about what Shaquille O'Neal said when he was here, broke shack. He said, I'm never coming back. He did say, you know, Rich talks too much, and that guy sucked as a contestant, but glad he played. And he said he was very busy.

He also said that the NBA is rigged allegedly, right? Yeah. He's sort of leaned into it to a funny one. Based on David Stern. and saying, hey, where do you want to play? Where it's colder, where it's hot, and then Orlando gets the first pick, and they pick Shaq. If it comes down to ratings, and we already alluded that the NBA has to want the NICS, because that equals ratings, who, what would be the better ratings grab?

The Knicks, Timberwolves, or the Thunder? SGA is your likely MVP, but then again, Anthony Edwards is one of the more exciting players. They're both like, Brokshack did say Nick's Timberwolves. Edwards has the bigger star power. Yeah.

That's what I think too. Yeah. Is that the answer though? You know, Danny, I'll compare it to the NFL when we said Brock Purdy sitting with a similar salary to Tua and Goff and other guys. We're like, yeah, so does it make sense.

I think the T-wolves and the thunder in that same level of like, yo, young, exciting team, but not, they don't have the star power of the Lakers, the Warriors. And it stinks that they're a small market team because when they're clicking. They're really fun to watch. They play a fun brand of basketball. What do you rather say? You might rather see Minnesota because I'll make your boss happy, right? Yeah, no, I agree with Danny G. The Anthony Edwards storyline is probably a bigger story for the casual

guy because they all know him by now with the Jordan comparisons. The young superstars on the Thunder, people aren't that familiar with, maybe Caruso and SGA, but again, not as a exciting as Anthony. But I do wonder, is this the beginning of like, SGA's first of many? And then we'll look back and be like, why do we downplay this kid? Like, you know, so what is the finals that you would want to see or that the

networks would want to see? Hit us up at Covino and Rich. We'll see you guys back here tomorrow. Thank you, Danny G and I with Sam and Spotty. Until then, Arriva Darci, baby. See you in the promised land. How we go. Hey, guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created

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