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

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

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

It's our favorite time of the year on our podcast, Point Game, the playoffs. We're digging into the biggest surprises of the season. And I'm looking back on some of my greatest playoff moments. If we didn't talk ever again, I was crying.

You just understood. That's how personal it got. Wow. Then after that game seven, Marquis' keep coming to you. He's like, you know, I love you, dog. You know, it's all love. This was just playoffs. This was just basketball.

So listen to Point Game on the. iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. If a baby is giggling in the back seat, they're probably happy. If a baby is crying in the back seat, they're probably hungry. But if a baby is sleeping in the back seat, will you remember they're even there? When you're distracted, stressed, or not usually the one who drives them, the chances of forgetting them in the back seat are much higher. It can happen to anyone. Parked cars get hot fast and can be deadly. So get in the habit of checking the back seat when you leave.

The message from NHTSA and the Ad Council. Therapy is fantastic, but once again, it does not have a monopoly on healing. That's why I create the resources and that's why I create the community because I really just want you to have more access.

has had the most unlucky month, meaning based on exit velocity, home runs robbed, hits robbed, like they did an equation. He's leading the league in booze, though. Most unlucky month in baseball history. Let's be rocking out, everybody. CNR on FSR. Spot is getting ready for midweek major. The biggest stories in the world of sports and pop culture.

Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom. Again, Sam's Wednesday, right? Got it. So if you could repeat Mike's Words of Wisdom, verbatim, you win a Swiggy, stick around for that. But the Knicks

haven't made it this far since the year 2000. And I have to say on a total side note, I think it's so cool how the old school Knicks have banded together to root on the younger guys. I love when teams do that. It's cool to see that fraternity

of players. These players coming together, all these players that were part of good teams. They were all stopped by Jordan and they're rooting on. Guys like Spreewell, Alan Houston, Starks, all these guys coming together to watch these young dudes play is awesome to me. Besides the legends

coming out to see the Knicks. Now, Danny, this is no insult. to you. You're a diehard, true to the bone, Lakers fan. Yeah, but I've told you before how I had a soft spot for the Knicks. When I look at the Garden versus crypto, formerly staples, there's a sense

to me that when celebrities go to the Lakers game, it's to look at me, I'm here. Right? Like, a lot of them. Other than Jack, who historically was always there, to me, to me, when I see celebrities at Knicks games, like Ben Stiller and Chalamey and Tracy Morgan, and Spike Lee.

I feel like they are so invested like you and I. Where you go to, you see other like Lakers super fans. The Charles Spreewell's invested. Yeah, there's a sense. Charles Oakley's invested. There's a sense of fun going on

at Madison Square Garden right now. And man, you know the Pacers want to root that fun. That goes down tonight. Well, speaking of the history and all those old school players, Reggie Miller will be there. So exciting game tonight.

But they weren't in the Eastern Conference finals. since the year 2000. What was going on in the year 2000? Yeah. Thank you, Conan. All right. The number one movie, like I said, it was nominated for a lot of Oscars.

It made a ton of money. I think the second most money worldwide that year. And I'm sorry, bail didn't look like bail in that Al Davis picture, so that threw me off. Here's a better clue for you guys. He was born in New Zealand. The movie was set in 180 AD.

He's famous for having a fit where he threw a telephone. Oh, Gladiator. Ah, thank you. There you go. Gladiator was the number one movie when the Knicks were last in the Eastern Conference finals. Wow. The second one came out and it sort of fizzled. And think of how many years we had to wait for the sequel.

24 to be exactly. Last year it came out, right? He was entertaining. I enjoyed it. I heard good things at first and then, I don't know, it just sort of went away. It definitely didn't live up to the... Yeah. First one.

All right. Technology advancements. Sony released the PlayStation 2. Oh, Crash Bandicoot. Yes. And we were in the middle of the 2000 U.S. presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore. We learned about hanging chats. Yes.

Thank you. It was so close that there was a disputed vote count in Florida. And the outcome was not determined for over a month, leading to a recount in a Supreme Court case. You know what else was popular in the year 2000, Danny? You can play along. You ready? Yep. was that

what's that what that that was the that was the biggest commercial for Budweiser wow that's crazy all right which artists had the number one

song on the pop charts on the Billboard 100 I got the top 30 in front of me so you guys could take a shot at the top 40 is this last one standing I wasn't prepared for this and by the way

you probably had a lot of these on Napster in the year 2000 no DB MAMBO number 5 Remember that one? Of course I do, but I think that was a little before that. A little bit of Jessica on my side. I'll give you a clue.

For the number one song, he actually sings his own name in this song. I know in the year 2000, a lot of the charts revolved around the reemergence of Carlos Santana. There you go. Maria Maria was number one. Wow. That was the number one song of the year? When they were in the Eastern Conference Finals. May 2000.

At the time? Was that from Supernatural? This is the top 30 for May 2000. That was a big comeback for Carlos Santana for sure. Well, I guess, you know, our parents got Black Magic Woman and Oieco Mova. And then 20 plus years later, he did a song with Rob Thomas. Oh, he did tons of duets. I was just going to say, Richie had Smooth also in the top 20.

That was number 18 at the time. With Rob Thomas, he had Game of Love with Michelle Branch. He just had a ton of hit Santana. But wasn't it also like a boy band era around that? Number seven is a big boy band. Okay, I'll go with InSync. Yep, bye, bye, bye. There it is.

2000. And a song you guys like to tell the story about, about how the song came about. That's to do with Undergarment. Yeah, Cisco, the Thong song. Yeah, number four. That was a big song back then. By the way, you guys dismissed my Mambo number five.

Like, I was way off. It was 99, right? I was April 99. So, like, we're only nine months away. I did it. And Rich did. He's very, he's very, he's very, Poppous.

Because every day when I don't do this, I'm recording for Pop 2K. And I know that song doesn't pop up. So I just knew with certainty. It was such a big song that if I've never played it on Sirius XM, it was definitely not 2000. But it was still around that era being played. I had the, I was, Danny talks about his DJing days. I didn't DJ like Danny, but I did have to DJ weddings and school dances. And I played a lot of Mambo number five at that point.

So that's where it was based. a lot of bye-bye-bye at that time. Yeah, but by the year 2000, I think it was Mabo number six. So you were wrong. Sorry, Dan. Yeah, sorry, Dan. I was like a year behind, bro.

Which hip-hop song do you guys think I was playing the most in the club in the year 2000? Number one. I can I guess? From the ATL. Yep. Oh, I was going to say, my guess is must be wrong. Then I was going to say maybe a little Destiny's Child?

Destiny's Child is on the top 40, top 10. They were number five with Say My Name. And yes. Sam is right. Outcast was the top of the hip-hop R&B chart with So Fresh, So Clean. You said Atlanta, and I was like, Outcast. What about in the world of music back then? That was one of the first country crossovers.

Faith Hill had a big year back then. Number three, her hit song, Breathe. Yeah, that was a big one back then. You know, in the year 2000. I was wearing Jinkos, bro. I would have my PlayStation in my back pocket in case I wanted to bust out a game a Tekken 2. I got to give you guys a trivia question.

What percentage of Americans do you think had the internet in 2000? When the Knicks were last in the Eastern Conference Finals, what percentage of Americans had internet in their house? I definitely had that dial-up going on for sure. I got mail. Yeah, I had that. So it's probably a lot lower than we think. I don't know.

2%. Now you're way over. You have 2%. 18. No, 41%. So like 6 out of 10 people did not have internet. That's crazy. One would hit you with another. And mom would

pick up the phone and ruin your connection. It was a good year for a couple of people in this room. Danny G., the first of a three-peep by your Lakers. Yeah. And Kavino, the Yankees beat my Mets in the subway series. Of course. Remember that. My weak sauce. Game seven against the trailblazers for the Lakers. Remember to get to the finals.

It was also the year. Hold on. I have my little sheet I use for Pop 2K. Let me see what I got here. It's really interesting to look back, though, for real, because for me personally, I know Rich lives in the 2000s when he does his countdowns and stuff. It doesn't have much of an identity for me when it comes to this stuff. Like when I have references, a lot of mine come from the 90s grunge era. So actually, like, 2000? I'm like, I don't know.

The 2000s were very, like, it was the early days of social media, internet, stuff like that. And the 2000s, very identified by like your flip phones and like your... Yeah, but actually. 2000. I'm a little confused. I have to take myself, I'm in college. You're right. I'm playing PlayStation. I was listening to Third Eye Blind still. What was that? Cove, number 16 on the top 40 billboard chart here. A song, the Ranger, a group the Rangers brought back to prominence and you interviewed them. With all homes wide hope on. Creed was 8,000. Higher. Higher. Number 16. Wow. Yeah. So that's the Creed era. Red Hot.

chili pepper's other side was number 24. Gonna take it on the other side. Yeah, so it's hard to really place what was going on right then and there because I'm either leaning too far 90s or too far ahead in the 2000s. Hence, Mambo number five. Yeah, yes. That's the point. You're absolutely right, Dan, because it's very confusing to me to pinpoint exactly what

was going on at that time. But I'll tell you this, we know the Knicks were in the Eastern Conference Finals. So it's cool to see them back. man and that's what was going on. Hold on my phone's ringing. You're the former snake champion, right? My Nokia's ringing. Were beepers still around?

It was... That scared me, by the way. It was funny. It's the first year. They always say the year 2000 sort of changed Danny, the cell phone from like, yo, you had to be like a yuppie, like a rich

person to have a cell phone. Or Palm pilots a thing? No, because in the year 2000 it went from, what do you? You got a cell phone? What do you? It must be like a rich kid to like the regular person. Is this one like...

Nerds were riding around on razor scooters at the office because it was like the dot-com boom. What year was that? No, that was the... The dot-com bubble. The dot-com bubble. How about this song? You remember this song? The dot-com bubble burst.

How about this song in the year 2000? Do-do-do-do-do-do-d-do-d-do. Because everyone was rocking that Nokia, right? You know what? Disc men were still a thing. They had to be. Because I remember taking the bus in the early... 2000s and I still had my disc man.

Let me hit you up with one more. We talked recently, Danny. Remember about like the worst business deals? Yeah. 2000 was the year where Netflix said, hey Blockbuster, do you want to buy us for $50 million? And Blockbuster was like, nah, we're good. That was the year where everything we do now would have been Blockbuster. But if you're thinking like, damn, man, that was a long time ago.

Yeah, that's how long it's been. And that's why you're seeing the Knicks celebrate in this way. So whose side are you on tonight? Pacers, Knicks, and now it's time to give away a Swigie. All right. Now, this guy's words of wisdom are incomparable. How could one measure up to Mike who runs his place? Never heard of them.

Last week was my favorite. What was it? There's no such thing as fake breasts. Because if you could feel them, they're real. That was it? That was it? That was it. I mean, not verbatim.

So you didn't win a Swiggy, but. You got the gist of it. I mean, this guy brings it. So I was saying without further ado, Mike's Words of Wisdom. It's time for the guy that runs this place. Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place. He is not in charge of everything.

He has no power over really anybody here. He does not run this place. It's Big Mike's Words of Wisdom on a Wednesday. An Apple a day will keep anyone away if you throw it hard enough. By the way, that's an easy one. Be dial it now at 877-99 on Fox. I mean, those are wise words.

But if you can't remember that one, you're the hoist. Guy pulls out an apple a day reference. Yeah. He needs to make these harder. Yeah. Longer and more complicated. So if you can read that, repeat that verbatim, you win a swiggy.

Be dialing now 87799 on Fox. Danny G. Let's go back to the 2000s for a second. because I know you were running the clubs. We were all younger men. You know, if you're in your 40s now, 2000s were your 20s. You were acting the fool. You were ordering Yeager bombs and you were.

Partying Thursday nights at the bar. You were, you know, getting Cristol champagne and the VIP. Like, I'm assuming those. Those were Danny G's. What about vodka Red Bulls? Was that around year 2000? I think there was just starting to gain some steam. Yeah?

You got to look up where Red Bull started because it might have been more mid-200s. I think Red Bull was giving me wings back. Danny G, that's when you were in the VIP booth. It was a fun year. Girls always wanted to go to the VIP, the DJ booth. I was running the radio station Q1047, Oxnard Ventura, Santa Barbara. 50,000 watts of all the flavor, hip-hop, R&B, and old school. Yeah.

It was fun. It was a fun time and really good hip-hop and R&B at that time. Can I? You look at the list, Rich. Can I throw one more in? Yeah, go for it. The late great Alia. I feel like, oh, yeah.

She was definitely on there. She had the hit. Try again. And... Does yourself off and try you. Jarl rule. Jarl rule was in the top ten with a couple of songs.

Wyclef Jeanne, Erica Badu, Trick Daddy, Big Timers, Nelly, Ludacris, M-O-P. Let's see, Big Timers, Mystical. Oh, big timers... Wait, did Big Timers...

Who sampled Gilligan's Island? Hey, da, boom. Yeah, number one's Donna. I'm still fly. Who sings I'm still fly? Remember there were a lot of songs... Your dad and karaoke. There were...

Rich. there were a lot of club songs like that at the time. Remember yin-yang twins? Whistle while you'd twerk? Of course. Do you remember the song? This might be a very East Coast club song, but do you remember,

Feel So Good by So Neek? Yes. Oh, yeah. That was in the top 20 of the Billboard shirt. So just reminiscing, just to bring it back a little bit, only because if you wonder

why New Yorkers are climbing up light posts, like they're from Philadelphia. Like they're degrading themselves like they're from Philly. It's because there's an excitement level about the Knicks that hasn't been around. This is before social media, before smartphones, before any of the things that you do on a daily basis.

Kavino, that's the last time the Knicks were relevant. I think it was the first season without Ewing. Got to double check that because I'm looking at the roster too in 2000. Allen Houston. Are you looking at the 99, 2000, 2001 roster? Because it was the 99 2000. 99,000. Charlie Ward, I think, was on that team. But it's been a long as time, guys.

guys. All right. So, again, Mike's Wednesday, words of wisdom. Let's see if he could do it. All right. Can you repeat it verbatim for your chance at the coveted Swiggy? We're going to go to the studio lines. Ryan in Pennsylvania has the first shot at it. Ryan, let's see what you got. How are you, buddy? I'm good, man. Just getting out of work on my way home. I appreciate you listening, first of all. Now it's your turn to win a Swiggy. Let the music establish. Here we go.

Take it away, Ryan. Let it simmer. An apple a day will keep anyone away if you throw it hard enough. That's the winner. There you go. Wow. Wow.

You won, man. That was easy money. Yeah, thank you very much. I listen to you guys every day. I know how this goes. Appreciate it. Appreciate you, Ryan. Yeah, thank you.

Hey, join us in Vegas. We'll be partying the Twitter. 20th, 21st, and 22nd, everybody's invited. Well, 21st and 22nd. No, I'm sorry, 20th and 21st. You guys don't be giving away any free tickets and some airline passes to go with it? I mean, we don't have the budget for that, but enjoy your swiggy, man. Enjoy your water bottle, Ryan.

Thank you, bro. You know, it's so funny. I feel like Mike read that one off like a Snapple cap. He might have. Or like a bad dad joke book. Snapple was still a thing. Hard apple cider. Hard cider.

Label. An apple one day. We'll keep any on the way. All right. Well, hey, we got midweek major with Spot. And don't forget, there's a hot story. Patrick Mahomes has two new weapons. Man, it's going to be a good year for him.

We'll explain what that means next right here. Kavito and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Now, from searching online to asking your friends and family, there are lots of ways to look for jobs.

Hey, it's us to Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, huge news? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast. Well, we didn't invent it.

We just contributed to a first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how did we How do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down?

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

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. Genschen 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, Lerner Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner,

I heart women's sports. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano, and our podcast, Point Game is about Defying the Odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows. Without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid.

He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers, why he got the ball. Like, you go through a training camp with that Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball.

So listen to Point Game on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Keith Giamanka seemed like a mild-mannered suburban dad. But secretly, he became someone else, a master of disguise who went on a crime spree. At the time, did it seem like a crazy idea? It seemed very crazy. But I felt so desperate that I felt the quickest, easiest way out. Did you allow yourself to think about how it could go wrong and what that might look like?

No. I didn't want to manifest that. I was trying to manifest success. Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life? That is not the look of an innocent man. This is going to change my life and my family dynamic forever, because everything that had existed prior in my reality,

is now untrue. Listen to Deep Cover The Family Man on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. When up in Spanish, Harlem. Maria.

Made by Raphael Santana. Porque, Maria. My amigo. I'm sorry, Carlos Santana. Covino and Rich. Wait, the left-handed hitter? Rafael, live from the Fox Sports Radio Studio,

I just want to point out something. Carlos Santana. Yeah. Is that Edward James almost or Carlos Santana? Somehow they turned into the same person. Not the guy with the long hair like your aunt with a half. on. No, no.

The baseball player. I was thinking Cleveland Indian and played a year in Philly, he got around towards the end. And he's still playing 328 career home runs. And, you know, he's in the, as they say, the Hall of Very Good. Do you think his parents named him after Carlos Santana knowing this? I mean, he's a Dominican guy. But he's not that old. So, I mean, he was 20.

It's a very common name. You could probably need like 20 Santanas in MLB. I think a Carlos Santana. Yohan Santana. Carlos is a common name. I guess you're right. I mean, it could be. It doesn't have to be.

How many Will Smiths in the NFL, right? I get it. I get it. All right. Well, it is time for something that we do every Wednesday. Our video producer spot puts together all the biggest stories in the world of sports and entertainment. We call it midweek major. Kavino and Rich get you over the middle of the week with

Midweek Major. Ooh, I love that. We throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas, and it's like the kids say. That's so midweek, definitely major. CNN scoring. Midweek Major. Yes, Danny.

I needed that thing. I needed to tell. That was for the East Coast as the Knicks are back in the conference finals. and before we hand things over to the number one and only host of this segment, you hear the horn so you know you've made it to the middle of the work week. Covino and Rich are going to roll the two big red love dice over there to see who gets the first take. I just rolled a big fat four. And by the way, Danny, better than a middle of the work week, knowing that you have a holiday weekend coming up.

It makes it feel a little better. Here goes the Rich roll. Seven. I'm getting ready for our Vegas trip, baby. That means, uh, really. Rich gets to go first. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains, New Jersey, Spotty Boy. Hi, guys. You know I only roll seven on the first one.

Only on the first one. And then sixes and eights all day, bro. We're going to take over a craps table and make millions. We're going to do something. I'll tell you that much. All right. We'll start off with the Buffalo Bills, who have been chosen by the NFL in the home box office to be the center of the training camp edition of Hard Knocks. Roger Goodell made the announcement during spring meetings saying the.

Raining AFC East champs will be documented as they prepare for next season. Of course, series will focus on team practices, possibly get some off-screen drama. Maybe we'll see the future Mrs. Allen running around. NFC East also getting their treatment for the in-season for next season, focusing on multiple teams, including the Giants, commanders, cowboys, and Eagles, Hard Knocks Training Camp with the Buffalo Bills, premieres August 5th on HBO Mac. Is that what it's called now? By then it will be HBO Max.

I'm pretty sure. Our home box office, Max a Million, as I call it. Yes. This is, I mean, mid. Okay. That's so mid. They do it every year. The bill's a good choice.

Haley Steinfeld, I hope there's a little involvement to bring some, you know, some pop culture fun to it. And by the way, rude of you to bring up the bills and not wish Josh Allen a happy 29th birthday. Oh, is that today? Josh Allen turns 29 today. I didn't get my alert. Did you get your Josh Allen alert? Well, Mr. T turns 73 today. I'm put it to the fools.

Well, I hope Josh Allen gets my edible arrangement. I sent them a balloon. So I think this is major. Major, major spot. And I'll tell you why. AFC East champs, Josh Allen, superstars,

it could be a weak-ass team. This is a great team. This is an intriguing season. So when I first saw this, Rich, I was like, ooh, yeah. And it gets me excited about it. So because sometimes you're watching a team that you don't care at all about.

So I'm actually excited about this. And you know what? I'm sure they will also highlight the, Bill's Mafia, which could be fun. Yeah, their fan base is insane. So I think it'd be a great season. I'd stick it in the NFL. Jalen Hertz doubling down on his absence from the White House last month, as he claims, as he said, he had scheduling contacts if he's really busy. Super Bowl champion Eagles QB invited to the White House along with the rest of the team on April 28th. Many were in attendance, including Sequin Barkley, who went on to have a round of golf with the president. But Hertz commented

in a press conference yesterday saying he just simply wasn't available going out to say, I don't think that's pertinent. Everyone who went was available, or everyone who went and was available seemed to enjoy themselves. So even if it's not political, really sticking to his guns, midweek or major.

I'm gonna go major. Definitely major. And I'll tell you why. Not because I care. Listen, no matter who the president is, I would go because I honor the seat that the man holds. And maybe a woman one day, right? I think the president's a big deal.

I would sit down with Obama, Trump, Bush, Clinton, anyone. I think it's an honor. Lincoln. Lincoln. Taft. We got stuck in the bed. Garfield. Hoover. I just find it odd when he's like, I was busy. In my mind, I'm like, to quote Peeley Herman back in the day, busy doing what? Busy doing what? He's taking his bath.

Francis is busy. I've seen this when people go to the Oscars or a wedding or a big event. It's like, oh, they were busy that day. What is busier and more important than going to the White House and being honored by the president? It's a wildly weird excuse if he asked me. You could say I'm not a fan of Trump and he didn't want to go. That would be okay with that. To say you had plans, that's like, hey, uh, where at Penny Hana? Cancel him.

What is going on? I don't get it. Yeah, I agree with Rich. It's major. It's like, I was visiting New York once. And I was like, Dad, I'm, you know, visiting from L.A. 3,000 miles. And he's like, oh, well, you know what?

Come a little later on the day. I have a dental cleaning. I'm like, change it. I got a doctor's appointment. It's very hard to get it. It's a $2.30. What is more important than this honor? I booked it six months ago, Richie.

I can't change it. Again, unless it was like something health-related. And if you really want to squash the story, what were you doing? Why the big mystery? I'm with Rich. I'd respect it more if he just came clean and said, yeah, I don't like Trump. All right. Still speculation around the engagement between legendary NFL coach Bill Pellecheck and his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordan Hudson.

Well, Bill may have confirmed it in his own way. As you know, Bill has eight Super Bowl rings, six with the paths, two with the Giants. Well, he debuted a new boat on the waters off the swanky island of Nantucket and Massachusetts with the name in Roman numerals, one plus eight rings, alluding to the fact that there may be an extra ring having to do with his engagement. No, I see, I think this is major. Definitely major. But I am interpreting it differently. Oh.

He's with a younger, more vibrant woman. Oh, you think that. I think the ring is somewhere in his pantalones. I think... Not for my hands. Not for my hands. Need a little help of 74. I don't think it's an engagement.

I think it's a boink. Wow. Jeez. Wow. That's a... Hot take. That's a hot take right there. I'll take it.

And I agree with Rich. Yeah. I think this is a major story. Because it's Bill Belichick. And he's 74 years old. She's 24. Married? Maddie?

What? Married? What's going on? Here. It's a very odd story. Of course it implies a marriage. One plus eight rings. Well, what's the other ring?

Give me a break. I just find it very odd that this guy seems to be... High school class ring. He just seems to be so smitten, and it's really odd to see. He's such a guy that... I don't know. It's a very major story because you're not going to tell me that she's not going to have involvement. on his decisions.

Because all wives do. What's that Irish promise ring that the clater ring, clatter ring? My purity, my purity ring. All you're afraid. My food ring is my Jonas brothers. There you go. All right. The White Sox,

Beggy got a higher power to lead them to victory this season. So Pope Leo the 14th, as you know, from Chicago, Chicago White Sox fan. His brother revealed it. We saw the footage of him in the stands at game one of the 2005 World Series. Well, the team capitalizing on their connection by highlighting the Pope and his attendance with a graphic installation at Rayfield. The socks unveiled the attraction ahead of their matchup against the Mariners, which featured the new Pope waving in front of the Chicago skyline with a photo, a photo of him in the stands at the 2005 game. Also a frame jersey next to it with the name Pope Leo and under, of course, the number is 14.

Sox currently 15 and 35, so maybe they'll turn it around for the rest of the season, midweek or major. dude he ain't turning around the saint angels in the outfield you never know I don't know but you know it is pretty cool listen if the pope rudder for my team I would imagine they would you know do something I think it's a classy little touch and the white socks they need a little something I think I would say it's sort of mid I think it's a mid story I agree with Rich they could have made it cooler by having like a sacred seat spray paint that one seat that he sat in gold and it's like you're the lucky fan you get you're like blessed by the gods what if they did like Pope foam hat night yeah you got

You got to lean into it a little harder. No, the great Pope race. The Great Pope race. If you're sitting in a sacred seat, it can away prizes. You win a trip to the Vatican. Oh, my God. You get free tickets forever and ever. Yeah, you got to lean into it, man.

I love it. All right, Travis Kelsey backtracking his stance on playing the season opener in South Palo, Brazil after facing backlash for throwing a bit of a tantrum after the game was announced, as you recall, complaining about the heat being that close. close to the equator, saying he didn't want to put on his uniform. He's played in Jacksonville in September and it's effing miserable, says he's a all that kind of stuff. Well, on this week's new hype podcast, he made a turnaround saying, talking about the

excitement for being in a bunch of primetime games. You can't wait to see all the Brazil fans enjoying American football. And then Jason went on to say how apparently they were told the weather in Sao Paulo in in September is very nice. So they're very excited about it. Midweek or major. You know what else is very nice? The butt cheeks out there.

I mean, I don't want to say it. Don't me say this. I think, uh, Carnival. I think this story has nothing to do with his take on Brazil and the games. I think the take, you said, he said, uh, back, one too many times. Backtracking. You said backtracking? You mean it's hairy back?

All I'm thinking about is Travis Kelsey's hairy back and maybe. I was going to be more. Maybe this is good news for all the hairy Sasquatches out there because if Taylor Swift could get get with a guy that's got a hairy back like that, maybe it's like, uh, you think she shaves his back? I bet you. I guarantee you. laugh. I bet you if people want to see that. Honestly. That's an only fan.

Shave your back. Wax it. Do something, Travis. Two hands up than a hairy back. That's my take. I agree with you on that. I'll agree with Rich on that. I don't have a hairy back button. What do I push here? It's a mid-story. Major. Carry back. I'm supposed to care that he is okay with

Brazil. Brazil is awesome. I've never been there, but I've always wanted to go. But his hairy back is a pretty mid-story. Shave your back, dude. Half-sas-sasquatch, half Croatian, I guess. All right. Well, hey, thank you, Spottie.

Thanks, guys. Great midweek major. Thank you, bud. Let's go to Dan Byer, get an update what's doing. DB. Guys, on Select Sundays this year, just on the White Sox thing, the White Sox are doing a Pope promotion. Section 14, all you can eat wine and bread. So that's what it is.

Select Sundays this year, Section 14. But they actually hand out water and it turns into wine. For Leo the 14th. The White Sox today were not blessed with a victory. They lost to the Mariners 6 to 5 in a busy. in a busy day in baseball. We'll get to that in a sec. But first, the headline of the day

as Shea Gilgis Alexander is set to be the MVP of the NBA. ESPN reporting that he'll become the seventh straight winner of the award that was not born in the United States. Nothing official yet from the NBA, but SGA is set to be the MVP. Tonight it's Pacers and NICs 8 o'clock Eastern Time and game one of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The tush push play in the NFL will remain legal in 2025 after not enough voters voted to ban the play made famous by the Philadelphia Eagles. 22 owners voted to ban the play, but 24 were needed to make it illegal next season so it sticks around.

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 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? of the name Hey Jonas, guys. I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this.

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

Genschen win. I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lernerabakina 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.

What's up, fam, it's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano and our podcast, Point Game is about defining the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before.

And he knows, without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing.

That man, hell get the flying. He run up the court, licking his fingers, why he got the ball. Like, after you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Keith Giamanka seemed like a mild-mannered suburban dad, but secretly he became someone else, a master of disguise who went on a crime spree. At the time, did it seem like a crazy idea? It seemed very crazy, but I felt so desperate that I felt it was the quickest, easiest way.

Did you allow yourself to think about how it could go wrong and what that might look like? No. I didn't want to manifest that. I was trying to manifest success. Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life? That is not the look of an innocent man. This is going to change my life and my family dynamic forever because everything that had existed prior in my reality is now untrue. Listen to Deep Cover the Family Man on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's worse? This or to Macarena? Oh, this by a mile.

They're equally terrible. Macarena's bad, but this song is trash. If I'm anywhere in this song comes on, I take a bathroom break. I'd feel like you're insulting Dan Byer. He loves a song. I told Dan he needs to stick around to hear his callback. Oh, rumor spread. This is Dan Byer's favorite song.

Oh, man. Dan is very. I heard of changing the name to the buyer number five. Okay, that's not the case here. The problem is, is Rich has been lippy all week. Like his 49ers, oh, that's a win against the Seahawks. It's lippy over here. Even yesterday when, like, I guess, like Tom Seavers, I said that.

I said that. So this is the third straight. day where like he's popped off. Here's the deal. Nobody except Kavino sometimes and spots sometimes calls him out on it. You know, Sam's just like, R.Her, Rich. So when Mombo number five was released in April of 99, because I thought it may be 2000 trying to add something to the show, I don't think I should be ridiculed by,

no, that was years and years prior. You saw the real side of Rich is what you're seeing. Yes, yes, the real, I can't read for the untold Rich Davis story to come out. That's why Dan's always been a Covino guy. You're officially part of the crew now. Thank you. Not frustration towards Rich like that. They're officially part of the crew.

Man, Dan, it took four years. Love you, buddy. You've seen it. You've seen what we see. It's like the third time's a triple crown. I just won the Belmont by, you know, right? He's very dismissive attitude. And he doesn't see it.

He doesn't see that he doesn't. Oh, God. Wrong again, Byer. Anyway. Dan, why you feel bad? DB, it's like how we were running really late for last one standing on my day. And Rich wanted to talk about butterflies through 10 minutes. Seriously.

Yep. I mean, this is how Rich is. So, again, we're Kavino and Rich. Guys, I'm here. Pompous Rich. Live from the Fox Sports Radio Studio. And for over 40 years, Tire Rack has been helping customers

We do that every Thursday, old school, when 50 hits on the clock. So be sure to join us and we'll figure out a way to give way more prizes tomorrow. Do you think the Knicks hold court and win game one at home tonight? Man, that's tough. I do, Rich. I think that personally. But what I can guarantee is what we said last time. electricity, man. The garden's going to be hopping,

and it's going to be fun to watch. It's going to be fun to see all the old heads there representing. You want ratings? All the Latrell Spreewells out there. You want ratings? No, you do? I have an idea. You sit Halliburton's dad in between all the old school Knicks.

Yeah. Oakley and Halliburton's dad right next week today. I mean, that'll go well. Ratings, baby. Go ratings. Now, Rich, are you keeping your wallet closed tonight? because you got burned last night. You know what?

Now that you said that. MVP. MVP. Yeah, 31 points when it was 31.5. All right. What do we got here tonight? Jalen Brunson, 28 and a half. Ooh, I'd say just under.

All right. Don't let that half get you. Oh, all right. Carl Anthony Towns. Ooh. 22 and a half. Bet you he scores 23 points. All right, I'm going to go over.

Halliburton, 18 and a half. Over? Over. 200 on the under. We'll do one more. Turner. We're topping. Who do you want to do?

I'd say Miles Turner. Miles Turner is 15 and a half. Ooh. Under. Okay. I'm just, I totally went with arbitrate. I went arbitrary with you guys. We got Pacers, Knicks.

If this draft Kings pick six hits, you'll Los Taco Bell tomorrow. That's right. Fair enough. So we got Brunson. We got Brunson under 20 and a half. We got Cat over 22 and a half. Halliburton over 18 and a half and Miles Turner under 15 and a half.

10 bucks pays 80. All right. Cool. More reason to have fun and enjoy the game. Thank you guys for enjoying the show. I hope you enjoy the show. Anything you missed, catch it on the podcast. Now we got two minutes left, Rich, which means we'll probably have to continue this conversation tomorrow.

But also, Rich has been teasing. Patrick Mahomes is two new weapons this offseason. Yeah. Now, again, this is a legend and this is rumor. This is just based on what the eyes could see. Because I don't know if I necessarily agree with you. It's empirical evidence. Yeah, well, there's a lot of people that disagree because guess what?

The lovely, I enjoy her very much on quarterback. I got a new respect for Brittany Mahomes. But there's photos now. You know, she was in Sports Illustrated. There's a lot of before and after. There's a lot of before and after. Floating around. And I think she's a new mom.

And when you're a new mom, they get big. Others are saying she got the babies get big? What are you talking about? Banzumbas. Monsi. That's the proper term for. Gizum's. Moncey.

Yes, I'm here. I'm listening. What do you think? No, no, no, you guys. You're a lovely woman? Absolutely. It's both. Oh.

So they got bigger. She got them and they got bigger. Yeah. Yeah. So she's looking real good. Milky bazzumbas? I'll say. Yeah.

I'm not complaining. Just saying, I think she's looking good. And I'm glad you guys are noticing. But I think it's none of your business. I think Brittany Mahomes looks great. But I think this goes into a conversation tomorrow about your thoughts on as we all get older. Mommy makeovers. You know, if you're a dad and you're getting older, like where do you draw your own personal line?

Like, Camino, you're a guy in the entertainment world. Is Kavino ever going to get bro talks? Yeah. Oh, bro. You better chill. And where's you going to get it? And here's the other question we'll pose tomorrow. Yeah.

What's worse? The women that deny the work or men that deny their steroid use? How many beefed up guys that are... I'm totally clean. Are lying about it. How many women out there are getting these things done lying about it? So we'll get to all that tomorrow. Have a great night.

Enjoy the NBA. Arrivid at you, baby. See you in the promised land. Goodbye, guys. Hey, guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin.

And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.

Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but, you know. Tired and sick. Tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano. It's our favorite time of the year on our podcast point game, the playoffs. We're digging into the biggest surprises of the season. And I'm looking back on some of my greatest playoff moments. If we didn't talk ever again, I was funny. You just understood. That's how personal it got.

Wow. Then after that game seven, Markeep coming to you, he's like, you know I love you, dog. You know, it's all love. This was just playoffs. This was just basketball.

If a baby is crying in the back seat, they're probably hungry. But if a baby is sleeping in the back seat, will you remember they're even there? When you're distracted, stressed, or not usually the one who drives them, the chances of forgetting them in the back seat are much higher.

It can happen to anyone. Parked cars get hot fast and can be deadly. So get in the habit of checking the back seat when you leave. The message from NHTSA and the ad council.
