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.

Winning on Clay is an art.
The rallies are relentless.
And at the French Open, only the toughest survive.
I'd know.
I competed there for decades.
Join me, Renee Stubbs, on the Renee Stubbs' tennis podcast for no-nonsense breakdowns of the
biggest matches, the toughest players, and the moments that define Roland Garris.
She can win.
She's an outsider to win the French fame.
And she likes Clay.
Listen, Lina Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now.
And I actually can win on any service.

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 IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Last night, a blown call changed a game.
This morning, the internet lost its mind, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened.
That's where Sports Slice comes in.
I'm Timbo, and every episode, we're cutting through the noise,
breaking down the biggest moments in sports and giving you the real story behind the
And we're going straight to the source, the athletes themselves.
Their locker room stories, their reactions in the moment, and the stuff nobody gets to hear.

Remember the Mamba at Worlds of Fun?
Ooh.
Do you remember Rockbridge student section roller coaster?
Remember that one?
Matt.
Did, do, do.
Yep, yep, yep.
Are we fucking rolling?
I think we just roll out of bed, both of us, but also rolling.
Are you on the floor?
Yeah.
Nice.
I will say you have a different background every single time we record.
Well, you just wait because this is like, it's about to get even worse.
At least you're pretty consistent.
I'll give you that.
It's just easier this way, you know?
A thousand percent.
Yeah.
Welcome back to the Show Me Something podcast episode, who knows what,
sponsored by the good people at bees, short for our bees.
Dumbass.
I've never heard that.
Okay, this is our second one of the week.
So there's not a lot of catching up to do.
There's more just talking about what's going on in the crazy, silly world we live in,
I suppose.
I saw the Pacers tweeted you last night.
fun, cute, awesome.
That's a good picture.
That's a good picture of you.
Really?
I thought it was a good picture of you.
Oh.
Oh.
Well, thank you.
Thank you.
I had actually a lot of fun.
The Pacers are kind of not having the best year yet,
but they have a lot of injuries.
But honestly, Brooklyn Nets aren't either.
So I thought that maybe this is the one that the Pacers were going to get,
but we didn't get it, which is okay.
I still had a really good time.
Court said.
Not that it's about me, but I had a great time.
The Pacers want, if they lose, they still want you to have a good time.
Sure.
That's important to them.
Yeah.
No, I hung out with Tyrese's fiancé Jade, and she is such a gym and met a couple of her best friends.
And they were just so fun, like, love them.
She go to Iowa State also.
She did.
Yeah, she's a cheerleader.
That's right.
That's right.
Wait, have you watched the starting five on Netflix?
No.
Oh, it's good.
You should.
It kind of follows like...
What is that about?
It's about basketball and they just felt like they picked five guys last year
and there's five guys this year that they follow and just go throughout the season and just like kind of go into their lives every day.
And Tyrese and Jade are one of the starting five.
It's like quarter rack.
Yeah.
Like how they did it with all them.
Yeah.
Oh, I would watch.
Yeah.
I'm curious your thoughts
and I should take a second
and apologize for not even addressing
we recorded on Monday
and I forgot to mention how
fucking awesome
the World Series was
I don't know if you actually
dude at the best game 7
maybe ever there were like
10 separate moments where either team could have won
the Blue Js were inches away from winning
multiple times
the pop fly and deep left
center where the two dudes from the Dodgers ran into each other.
Kikey Hernandez, and I forget their center fielder's name.
He's the one who subbed in.
It's not their start.
They subbed him in.
Yeah.
And then two nights before when the ball got stuck, then when the dude, a base is loaded,
they throw him out at home as Will Smith's foot comes up.
It was such a good baseball game.
One of my favorite thing watching that last game seven, though, is when the pitcher
through and like hit two guys damn near.
Yeah.
So he hits someone.
And then the next guy, he like almost knocked his face off.
And they're like, what are you doing?
And then that guy, he swung and the ball went back and hit the pitcher.
Did you see that?
Yes, ball.
I'm very bald, don't lie situation.
Yeah.
I thought it was so funny.
I loved it.
I actually did catch that in real time.
That was good.
It was just incredible.
And, um,
Yamamoto is their, not Otani, but their Japanese pitcher who's like...
So good.
The best I've ever seen.
I didn't know that he pitched the night before.
Dude, and the two games before the night before,
he threw two complete games, which means...
That's insane.
It's all nine innings.
Like, so crazy.
Could he get MVP?
Yeah.
Not Otani.
Yeah.
It should have been him.
But, dude, Toronto had so many times that they could have won that ball game.
Could you imagine being a fucking Toronto fan there?
Oh, I just felt so bad.
Like, I thought this was going to be their year.
And the fans, like, just everyone deserved it.
And there's just so many opportunities that they just didn't or couldn't capitalize on.
And I felt so bad.
That's going to be the most excruciating loss of any sports fandom in a minute.
No.
Okay, I wanted your take on this.
Okay, ladies, gather around.
Your wardrobe's about to tell you.
level up. The skims fits
everybody collection, total
game changer. Like, how is it even
this comfy? The fabric literally
moves with you. Soft, stretchy,
feather-like, it's giving
main character energy in every
room. I've been a skims fan
forever, but once I slipped into the fits
everybody collection, yeah, it was
game over for me. And
let's talk about that skim's thong.
No digging, no discomfort, just
wow. Then there's
a triangle ballette. Can't forget that.
Trust me, as someone picky about brawlett, this one is the MVP.
Supportive yet chill, no squeeze, no stress, just pure comfort and lift and you don't feel it whatsoever.
Big fan.
I didn't think underwear could even change my life like this, but Skims really said, watch this.
So if you've been waiting for a sign to finally try the Fits Everybody Collection, this is it.
Shop the Skims Fits Everybody Collection at skims.com.
And I've been feeling this way for like a good,
maybe two years.
Okay.
Oh, God.
Game 7 of the World Series
drew 50% more viewers
than Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
It says 2025 World Series
Game 7, 25.9 million
viewers. And I believe this is
nationally.
2025 NBA Finals, Game 7 was 16.4
million.
I've
kind of felt like the NBA
is in a weird no man's land right now
where like their old
stars like the Steph LeBron KDs are kind of like their exit has begun.
And the MLB has just kind of been really fun the last few years.
I don't know.
And I just think baseball had obviously its window where like no one caring people made fun
of it.
But I do think people do like baseball.
And it's gotten cooler and people appreciate going to a game and hot dogs.
and then the playoffs and there's a lot of cool guys in baseball.
But I'm curious your take WNBA fully aside on the state of the NBA as a product.
There's so many routes that my brain goes with it because maybe it's like, you know,
they tried adding in the tournament game, you know, where they can win money.
No, has not worked.
The All-Star, they've been trying different things with that to get more attention and more drawled there.
That hasn't worked.
You know, I don't know.
I really don't.
And it just seems messy.
It seems like you have these guys.
Because, like, we say they're on their way out.
They're still playing great fucking basketball.
Yeah, I agree.
They're still there.
But, you know, they are just getting older, which is weird.
So there's, like, a new flow of guys, but the old heads are still killing it.
You know?
Yeah.
From what I've heard also, like, the newer guys, one, they're all, they're, like, foreign dudes who don't.
have any interest in being
American celebrities necessarily.
Like Luca and Wimby
and those guys have no, like, they don't care.
You know?
And maybe Cooper Flagg will be the guy,
but it just feels like the new wave of
NBA stars are less interested in being
stars.
Stars, which is, I kind of admired that
for me honest. It's kind of cool
that they don't give a shit. For sure.
There's pros and cons there. But I also think, too,
you see a lot of teams
but a lot of like
a lot of the groups of people
that could win championships are splitting up
like everyone's just like kind of
like you don't see like
star pack teams anymore
you know what I mean?
Like it's just weird
the NBA is weird to me right now
I don't know what it is.
People hated the KD Warriors though.
Yeah.
I don't know if that was good for the NBA either.
It's hard to say
But a part of me wonders if
But you can't really argue this
Because baseball they play a shit ton of games too
But like
Oh cut the games?
Fuck yeah
But like I know
I know you really can't
Because of how much they're getting paid
But the amount of games
Like these athletes are exhausted
Like are they putting on the best product
That they could possibly put on every single night
I mean I'm sure they try to
But I don't know if their bodies can
Withstanding it you don't know
When guys are going to be sitting out
You don't know
you know what I mean?
Like, it just,
there's just a lot of games.
It seems like they don't put the best product out there.
I mean, last year of the two finals,
like, it was cool because Indiana hasn't been there in years.
So, like, they really gathered around.
Indiana gathered around, but I don't know.
I don't know.
The fact that the finals was two teams from Indiana and Oklahoma,
I was obsessed with.
Yeah.
And not the Warriors, not the Lakers, not the NICs.
Like, I loved it.
It was such landlocked fucking corn-fed states.
I know that was really fun.
And I will say, too, with MLB,
you have a team Dodgers who would go back to back.
So they're making history.
You also have Toronto,
who hasn't been there in how long?
30 years.
30.
So like there's history there.
So it's like both kind of big headlines
and people wanted to be a part of it.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
So that could be something there too.
Yeah.
Well, see.
I mean, I guess the question would be like,
okay, if the Lakers and LeBron
or God, even LeBron Bronny, that combo.
Like, do they need a storyline to make the finals or make the finals?
I don't know.
I really, no idea.
But, okay, last thing I'll say, the game, I don't know,
there was a game on in a bar the other night and,
I forget who was playing.
Am I even like the Kings and someone else?
Who cares?
They had 71 points with like two minutes left in the first half.
and I was just sort of, to me that's gross
and there's no defense.
Is that weird to you or does that?
I mean, yeah, it just screams that they're,
it's just offense only.
But I do think that's why people were getting behind like the thunder last year
because like they're younger kids and they all just play really fucking hard.
You know what I mean?
Like it's just so it, I mean, everyone always complains about how there's no defense
in the NBA.
Not in the W.
Yeah.
Is there offense in the W?
Who knows?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
We're going to hop into a little something called,
Is this something?
Did you see
Tom Brady cloned his dog?
Dude, that's fucking weird.
I agree.
That's really weird.
I agree.
And I like Tom Brady.
I think he's a funny,
normal, handsome guy.
But why did you do that?
That's like, I think you're right.
I don't have a problem with them, but he does some weird shit.
Also, people are always like when your dog passes away,
the sentiment is, you know, you'll never replace them.
You'll just get a new family member, you know?
Why are you trying to replace your old one?
Dude, how do you even clone a dog?
I'm sure they take DNA and put it in a blender and then put a bunch of weird stuff in it
and then put it in a MRI machine and then incubate it and then...
See, this is why rich people do weird shit because they have fuck you money and they just find ways to do weird shit.
If you can clone a puppy, can you clone a human child?
Like, is that soon?
Yeah, that's fucking weird to me.
But still like him, just weird guy.
Weird guy.
Okay.
Well, I interviewed Tom Brady this summer and he was fucking awesome.
Dude, I'm sure he's awesome.
No, I know.
Whenever you have a good interaction with someone,
it carries for a long time,
but I will also say,
I would like to go on the record and say,
I was expecting Tom Brady's
crew to be a nightmare.
His team is like two dudes,
who are in mid-30s,
and they were so fucking chill,
and they were the chillest bros.
And I was like,
Tom's got like these homeboys
just in baggy jeans running,
All his shit, and they were so tight.
And I want to shout out Tom Brady's team.
A bunch of kill us.

Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers, and guess what?
We have some big news.
What's the news, name?
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 podcast.
We're the first people to do podcasts.
Pretty, yeah, pretty well.
wide range of podcasts throughout there.
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.
Oh, 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.

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.
Jen Chinchin win.
I mean, she went down to 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.

Um, okay. Also, was just on Twitter and it was a picture of you, Lexi, and C-C-N-it said you're caddying for something.
What is that?
Yeah, I'm caddying. Also, I'm a dumb ass. If anyone's seen my story, I was like, four, F-O-U-R.
Yeah. Four!
Four!
Like, heads up, but it's F-O-R-E.
I fucking don't golf, and I knew that.
Well, I didn't know.
I knew I should have probably looked it up before I put it all over my social media.
Did you delete and repost or did you leave up?
Nope.
Nope.
Left up posted with my, posted just a kind of ugly photo of me like four question mark.
Yeah, I don't know.
Like I was just like, I messed up.
I have no idea.
I don't know shit about golf.
I'm really good at drinking and driving the golf cart.
Actually, not a bad.
I have a pretty good short game too.
Think, think, think, pink, pink.
Yeah, mini golf.
your thing. Yeah, yeah, I would kill people at mini golf. But yeah, I have no idea what I'm
going to be doing. I don't really know how I even got invited to an event like this, but I'm
really excited for it. It's in Florida. Caitlin will be golfing. Me and Lexi will, I have no idea
what we're going to be doing, but I know me and Lex will be having a great time. Yeah,
hey, actually, speaking of great time. This is really funny. This is really funny. Stupid. Stupid.
Yeah, see, my next one though, I fixed it.
Who are these hot
Hot girls? Oh, is that
Oops. That's probably
Tyrese's fiance.
One of them is.
Which one?
The one on the very left.
Oh, who is the middle one?
Yeah, Abby.
I've had a lot of people ask about Abby.
What is her story?
I'll hook you up.
Come to Indy.
You bet you're asking him coming to Andy.
We're going to St. Elmo.
and meet Abby.
Yep, and meet Abby.
I bet a lot of people do, they're like,
who's the girl in the middle?
I was like, name's that.
Okay, well, I'm asking you on a podcast,
which carries more weight.
There you go.
Very sweet.
But I was going to tell you is fun time.
Dude, six flags is closing.
I only know this because I guess
Travis Kelsey is trying to help
restore six flags and the internet is like this is probably one of the more serious issues
in Travis Kelsey's life is him trying to restore six flags which is wait he put money into
six flags and now they're closing I don't know if it's just a PSA or something but anytime
people make fun of Travis Kelsey for being a little like dumb it I it's mean but it is so funny
because have you seen his old tweets that are always brought up
Yes.
So funny.
It's so funny always.
So I guess this is something he's trying to work on.
He's trying to help bring back six flags.
Actually, let's have Kev.
Kev, Nidja.
Can you Google Travis Kelsey Six Flags and pull that up?
Yeah.
Let's see, Travis Kelsey, six flags.
Investing in Six Flags, the genius moves is MSN.
Let's see more.
Da-da-da-da-da.
He's teamed me up with active as investor from Jana-Partner.
to buy a 9% stake in Six Flags for $200 million?
I don't know.
I feel like we got to crunch those numbers some more.
To try to like keep it.
Yeah, right?
That doesn't make any sense.
Yep, he wants to buy a 9% stake for $200 million.
Probably to keep this thing afloat.
Six Flags share price is down 50% this year.
I'm not an investor.
It sounds like a lot.
He's going to have to buy more than 9% if they're all closing.
Like...
Right? Or am I being dumb?
No, it doesn't make sense to me either.
I don't get it.
But he knows something we don't.
No, it sounds like they're going to need some more financial infusion.
They didn't murder.
I would say.
Okay, tell me if this sounds familiar, but every holiday season,
there's that one person who is impossible to shop for.
Honestly, I feel like that's me and my family.
I feel like I give great gifts, but no one knows what to get me.
Well, for me, it's my sister, but this year I actually nailed it.
I got her the bubble cuddle blanket.
And she texts me the next morning like, I'm wrapping myself up.
And it's the easiest gift you can possibly get.
That's the best kind of present.
It's something that people actually use, you know.
I feel that.
And I feel like it can also get crazy.
You have travel for us.
We have games, families all over the country.
And so she just takes it with her, gives it to her kids.
The kids love it.
So it's kid friendly, I would say.
But it's cozy.
The best thing is I actually have one of these.
I'm staring at it right now.
And here's the kicker.
They make it totally risk-free.
You get 100-night-sleep trial and a 10-year warranty.
But that's...
I bet no one in the history of the world has ever used it
because it is...
It's such a good weight and it's so soft.
I love it.

I've had some good fun times at Six Flags, though.
I'm not going to lie.
Well, I would like to speak up here and say.
No, guys.
No.
As Missourians and Kansas City regulars,
I went to fucking Worlds of Fun as a kid,
more than I went to Six Flags.
Not you?
I did both.
I did both.
I think I weirdly saw a video on World's Fun
and someone's seatbelt on a huge roller coaster
came undone literally a week ago.
Oh, the Mamba? Remember the Mamba?
At Worlds of Fun.
Oh, do you remember Rockbridge student section roller coaster?
Remember that one?
Matt.
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
Yeah.
Shout out Matt.
Dude.
What a trend he started.
Hell yeah.
Oh, he started it?
Well, I don't, I know he started like the roller coaster itself, but at Rockbridge he did.
Guys, real quick, picture this, okay?
Crazy student sections.
Sofi's probably got.
it's an off night.
We got to fire Sophie back up.
She's probably got six points,
four boards,
four sis,
okay?
We're down four.
Matt Kelly,
from the student section,
between the third and fourth quarter,
walks out in front,
everyone starts stretching,
you got to stand up,
everyone gets ready.
Hey,
let's do it.
Wait,
hold on,
and then he goes,
okay,
so then you got to put it on.
So you got to,
you got to,
everyone straps in,
and then you go,
oh,
you're waiting.
you're waiting, you're waiting, you're waiting, you're waiting,
and then he keeps his...
And you got to mirror which way he goes.
And you go backwards, they go forward.
And then everyone's kind of...
Yeah, and then everyone's, like, hitting each other,
and then he just gets turned up, and then...
Then we come out from a timeout,
and Sophie just cracks a three from the corner, and we...
Fuck, yeah.
Right?
Oh, my God, that was so fun.
Shut out roller coasters.
Was it, like, the first time out in the third quarter or something, right?
Or, like, going into the fourth?
Between third and fourth.
Yeah.
Yes, so fun.
Great time.
Great experience.
Hey guys, it's time for the latest segment,
the Hot Girl the Week.
Of course we door dashed our Arbyes
this week.
We ordered the gobbler and the apple pie shake,
which was fucking banging.
It was awesome.
West ate his actually before.
So I think what we're going to do for this week
because the unrivaled rosters all just came out.
So it's going to kind of be a little bit fun
of who's actually playing in it.
And so West,
You're going to pick your team and I'm going to pick my team who I think's going to win.
Oh, I'm already going, I'm already fucking locking in the breeze.
No offense.
Page and Cameron Brank.
I think that's a pretty easy one.
I do see their highlights on my TL.
I'm sure.
Every single day.
Yeah.
Who else?
I mean, I'm just just now seeing who's even playing in it.
I kind of think that the hive might be the sneaky winners.
Hive. Because of K Mitch?
Dude, you have Kelsey Mitchell.
Sonia, she could have been
Rookie of the Year last year.
It was like her page and she's a beast.
Oh, right, right, right, right.
Really, really good.
Ezi, she's like 6'5.
Can shoot really long, athletic, great.
Natica Heidman, she's part of the stud buds.
She's a fucking beast too.
Lefty, very fast, good ball handler,
can shoot the shit out of the ball.
Minnesota?
Naya.
Yep.
Yep.
Yeah.
Look at you on your stuff.
Damn.
Diled.
Sinaya, she just, like, brings the hustle.
She can shoot the ball.
She does a little bit of everything.
Good mid-range.
Oh, Lexi's on here.
Rose.
Yeah, Rose.
So they won it last year.
They're the defending champs, I think.
Can someone explain me real quick?
Like, I'm two years old.
Is this, like, is it a tournament?
I know it's a league, but like, obviously these women are not playing 40 games during the
off season.
Yeah.
So what it, what it is, it's like, 3 v3.
and so I'm pretty sure
Yeah, 3B3, but they also play
1v1. But
there's a lot of
this is good, this is kind of some tea.
So both of these girls,
great fucking players, right?
Yeah. Phenomenal.
Can't say enough good things about them on the court.
But they're also a part of our
exec board.
And so that could be
a little
conflict of interest because
W and unrivaled.
I guess because this is 3V3
and how over the course of how long
I'm curious. Oh, fuck me.
Nine weeks?
Oh, okay. I was going to say if it feels like
just a little one-off maybe and then the WNBA can get behind it
and support it for a little bit. Nine weeks is a long time.
That's why there's some conflict of interest
a little bit.
Huh.
Mm-hmm.
So that's interesting.
But I will say, I think it's cool that they're paying these players
because now they're allowed to stay stateside.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I think that they're, the first year, I think they're,
it went actually pretty smoothly.
And a lot of people really did enjoy it.
And so now a lot of new people are back.
A lot of the same old people are back.
And so it's going to be, I think people liked it for the most part.
Damn.
Okay.
Yeah.
My hot girl of the week if anyone cares is my friend Alyssa,
who ran the New York City Marathon.
And she posted a video of her hugging her mom at the end of the finish line.
And I cried a little.
Oh, my God.
So since you've been sending those like couple stories.
Are you getting them now?
Oh, my God.
My four you page is, but not even just like the New York Marathon.
It's like marathons in general.
And like, I'm over here just like crying nonstop.
It's so.
It's like people in wheelchairs.
Someone had like there's this veteran who like someone, I don't know what happened,
but like amputated both legs and he still did it.
Like there's so many amazing stories.
Was that the one where his friend was filming with him and he was like pouring the water on his head
throughout the race?
I saw that one too, but that's not.
No, that was not.
But I did see that one.
So just so many good little moments.
Yeah.
So awesome.
Fuck yeah.
So I know we were only supposed to pick like one hot girl,
but that was our hot girls of the week.
Thank you to Arby's for helping us highlight all the hot girls out there.
We know there's more hot girls.
So send us to pick up you and your Arwee's order to our Instagram at Show Me Something.
And we'd love to feature some of you and your stories on the show.
Okay.
And to close it out per usual, we're going to hit Tell Me Something and hear what the listeners have to say.
Oh, gosh.
Hi, Sophie.
Hi, hi, Wes.
This is Anna from Pennsylvania.
I enjoy your podcast.
I can tell you've been friends for a long time.
My question is, do you think the NIL is ruining the purity of college sports?
I get it that everybody's invested a lot of time, energy,
and they want to get the fruits of their labor.
But do you really feel that college students need to be paid extra?
again, enjoy your podcast.
I'll go real quick because I have strong feelings.
Yep, go for it.
Do I think players should be paid or deserve to be paid?
100%. Yes.
They deserve the money that they are like to make back that they're making the school.
They're making the school a lot of money, especially football and men's basketball
and now a lot of women's programs can make the school a lot of money.
The part of it that it has ruined for me is the transfer portal and the lack of loyalty to schools is gone,
which sucks because I don't blame a player if another school is offering them,
hey, like, I went to an FCS school, Montana State.
The second we have a player who is really, really, really good, a bigger school is going to offer
them more money than Montana State can offer them and we lose great players.
Same for basketball.
That part fucking sucks.
And it also makes it hard when it's hard for coaches.
It's hard for fans.
Your team is not, there is no nucleus.
There's no growth.
People just leave.
And I do miss when a player would commit to a school and then stay there for four years and
they love that school and then they can always come back.
And it's really fun.
And I think I could do a full, I could do a full.
full episode on NIL
Transfer Portal and why it like
makes me sad and I think the purity
and the loyalty is gone and that's
something that I've always loved.
However,
like when I was in college before meeting
sometimes they would put us in these
they would send us into these rooms
to sign stuff for 20 minutes before we had film or whatever
and then walk out and I was like,
do we just go sign our names for the school to sell for like
however much money? Like there are sometimes
where you are like what the fuck are we doing?
So yes, players deserve the money, but I also think it's a kind of ruined things.
So there we go.
Yeah, I agree everything with what you said.
All right, guys.
Next question for you here is a dating question.
Hey, guys, big fan of the podcast.
I'm Sam.
I hope recovery's going well, by the way.
I don't have great luck with the ladies, so I was hoping you could help me out with this situation I got.
So I was interested in this girl at work.
We actually started DMing a little bit.
The issue is she'll only message me through her dog's Instagram account.
So we do have some conversation, but it's like through her dog account as if we were dogs,
might I add.
So the texts are kind of borderline flirty, but on very dog-heavy topics like chasing squirrels playing
with playing with bones and toys.
What type of bones?
So I'm really not sure where to go with this.
Is that out of my wheelhouse?
Is this like a good sign?
Do I ask her out?
Do I ask the dog out?
No.
No, this is not normal.
You know, I guess I can't rule out that it's not actually the dog talking to me.
But anyway, so what is my next move here?
I really want to know.
Lock and run.
P.S. I think
I speak for a lot of us.
But fingers crossed
at the core of the fever
stay together
because it's an awesome vibe
and great to watch.
So let's get this done.
No.
All of it. No. West don't even try to make sense of it.
That's weird as fuck.
I would stop.
You guys are not dogs.
I don't, this don't even go there.
If you have to ask that, don't go there.
Here's what you need to do.
Stop pretending your dogs
on Instagram, get her in person and not a dog park and don't bring the dog.
Go get a beer with her.
And if she starts like sniffing you and being weird, then maybe we move on.
No, that's so weird.
In the beginning, you mentioned you're not on a hot streak with the ladies right now.
So this might be kind of the one egg in your basket.
No.
No, this is why I said, don't try to make sense of this.
Yeah.
Get her to meet you.
out so that we can get rid of all the dog stuff.
Because that part of it, we got to get rid of.
No, this is a huge red flag.
Just stop.
Just I would not even go there.
Dude, you're acting like you're a dog.
He said just some time, just a little.
Next.
Or maybe you'd be into it.
You don't know until you go chase a squirrel.
No.
I'm rooting for you.
You're so annoying.
Just get her in person and get out of the DM.
Because DMs, people can, it's like a fantasy.
You got to get out of there.
Clearly.
She thinks she's a dog.
Or she embraces the dog.
That's fucking weird.
Hey, Kev, would you talk to a girl who thought she was a dog?
I would say he's barking up the wrong tree.
That's a Sophie joke.
I feel like that rubbed off of me.
Such a Sophie joke.
I like it.
Like, Sophie rubbed off on you, Kev?
Oh, dude.
See, I got to be so wary with what I'm saying.
I like this.
I like this.
Hello, my name is Rocoro, and I am from New Mexico.
I would like to ask West and Sophie if they have ever had a close friend of the opposite sex
who wanted to be more than just friends after a long friendship.
And if you don't feel the same way and you don't feel the same way,
how would you let that friend off easy if that is even possible?
I would like your opinion or your answers.
I love your podcast.
Thank you very much.
That's cute.
She seems nice.
Yeah, she does seem nice.
So, Wes, why don't you tell us about your history of girl best friends?
I'm trying to think if any of them have, I don't think anyone has like one day just been like, hey, I love you kind of thing.
Yeah.
I've hooked up with friends before
and you just had to hopefully both know
it is what it is.
But what if someone catches feels?
I don't think anyone who's done that
would be susceptible to catching feels.
At least in New York people are pretty,
have their heads on pretty straight
and keep things moving.
I can imagine, I could only imagine.
I've never heard that before.
People in New York have their heads on straight.
With dating?
Yeah.
No one's like,
like you know people just like let's get it going how would you let someone down um
i think you just have to be honest yeah you hook up once and then you got to be honest
afterwards but i think she's saying they haven't even i know i don't think that they know oh
oh oh oh that's actually funny okay that's funny oh oh i don't i just feel like you have to be honest
But I don't know.
I guess she's not feeling it.
So Sophie,
Sophie's probably had maybe a teammate
in her history.
Anyone ever told you they have feelings for you?
No,
because they're always like,
yeah,
you're straight as fuck.
Damn.
Okay,
how would you let someone down?
Sof,
any idea here?
I mean,
if you're not feeling it,
then just say that.
Or just like,
say you don't want to ruin the friendship
you have.
And,
like,
like,
it's different.
It's like,
if she was to feel
kind of the same thing, then that would be like, she would be more like, oh, I've been wanting
you to say that. But if you're not, then you just have to be like, you know, I just don't
ever ruin what we have. I love you to death, but just don't see you in that light. I don't know.
Yeah. But do it at dinner in a movie so they know you still care about them. While you're holding hands.
Yeah. Yeah. And then. Like this close to each other. I just want to be a friend.
Yeah. I just, I just want to be friends with you. Don't send any mixed signals.
I feel something.
friendship.
I knew you were going to say that.
I knew you were going to say that.
But we both think that you sound very lovely.
And if we were in New Mexico,
we would love to have a coffee with you in the morning.
We would love to go get dinner with you.
Yeah, we just want to get dinner and get to know you really well.
Just as friends.
Just as friends.
Unless.
Cut.
And then cut.
Yeah, I love.
Unless.
Unless.
I say thank you.
Did a great job today on the podcast.
Thanks, Sophie.

had a really great time
