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. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm CJ 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 hiring. You just understood. That's how personal it got. Wow. Then after that game seven, Mark keep coming to him. 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 I-Heart

radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This week on Crimless, Rory and I welcome a very special guest. When I would do a podcast, I wear my sleep mask. I like where this is going. So if you guys will indulge me. That's right, the incredibly talented and hilarious Will Ferrell on an episode dedicated to crimes committed by people named Will Ferrell. You're good for 300 crimes?

Yeah. We got two. I'm ready to go right up. to present day. Listen to Crimless on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

On paper, the three hosts of the Nick Dick & Poll show are geniuses. We can explain how AI works, data centers, but there are certain things that we don't necessarily understand.

Better version of Play Stupid Games, win Stupid prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time. I actually thought it was. I got that wrong. But hey, no one's perfect. We're pretty close, though. Listen to the Nick, Dick, and Paul show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome in. What's Right with Nick Wright episode 391. Once again going solo as DeManzai is out on paternity leave. This episode of What's Right with Nick Wright is brought to you by, excuse me, one hell of the way to start the show, getting all choked up. presented to you by our friends at Boost Mobile. And Straight to Voicemails always is brought you by Boost Mobile. And a lot in straight to voicemail is stuff we're actually going to hit on. Insane night in the association last night.

Joker could have scored 70 if the Clippers had any real resistance to him. Joker scores 55. The Clippers starters scored 54. Joker had what, right around 50? midway through the third quarter as he is, I mean, listen, he's been unbelievable all year long. And then also, the Warriors, after a little unrest in the Bay Area after their previous game, Steph put the cape on and drops 46. Wimby has a triple double, but also eight turnovers,

and the Warriors get a great win over the Spurs, who obviously are, without Dylan Harper, but do have Deerran Fox back. Also, I, this is unrelated, but related, I suppose. I, because we mentioned Joker and then Wemby, somebody posted a screenshot of box score plus minus and how Joker's just lapping the field, and that's legit. He's been that good. But it also had defensive box score plus minus

on there. And by that metric, not only is Joker the best defensive, defensive player in the league, but he is almost twice as good defensively by that metric as Wimby, which put this in the same bucket as my commentary on some of the PFF grades or the original ESPN QBR before they fixed it that had the greatest game ever played be a Charlie batch game if your formula spits out that Nikola yokic is twice the defender as victor wimbunyama you should shuttle shutter the formula you got to be like oh we screwed this up this should not be a metric that is that we use or even pretend is useful anymore. And I again, I think Joker's the best player in the world. I think Joker's been the best player in the world for a few years now.

Luca and Janice, obviously, and Shea are trying to say something about it, but nobody has wrestled the belt from him. But some of those advanced metrics are just broken, just stone broken. And where I think it could matter is in 50 years when folks talk about Joker the way, you know, we talk about Wilt and it's like, well, I didn't watch him, but here's what the numbers are. At least with the Wilt numbers, they're counting stats. Not and it's things we believe the conspiracy surrounding the 100 point game notwithstanding actually did happen. But insane night in the NBA and we'll get to Lakers. Thunder in a moment. Also, James is going to be the starter for the Packers and Lamar Jackson missed

practice on Wednesday. I assumed this was his annual, the weather got a little chilly and I got sick missed practice, but the reporting is that it's something to do with his knee. If he practices today, it's nothing. If he doesn't, it's definitely something. And we're not going to know until he practices because it doesn't matter how optimistic the Ravens are. We know the Ravens and Lamar are rarely, if ever, on the same page when it comes to injury stuff. So that's not a big deal yet, but it's something to monitor. Reminder to everybody, like, rate, subscribe, review to the podcast. We greatly appreciate that. And I do want to start with the defending champion thunder, annihilating the Lakers, 121 to 92.

wasn't even really that close as they get to 12 and 1. And with the Thunder starting 12 and 1, blowing people out, playing at this level, it does beg the question of when their second best player, J-dub, J-Dowl, J-Lan Williams, comes back, who was all NBA last year, who obviously fit seamlessly with Shea last year. But when they're playing this well, it makes you worry a bit that adding a consensus top 15 player coming off in all NBA season might screw up what they have going, that they might actually get worse when they add him. And while one wouldn't advocate that they trade that player,

and in fact, they can't even trade him right now because of his contract. And when he signed it, you do worry that it's going to screw up this great thing he's got, that the Thunder have gone. so that sounded incredibly dumb right as i'm saying it you're like nick what the hell is wrong with you the team is great how can adding a great player who we have seen with those guys play great how can that be bad yeah of course it's dumb and of course it's a ridiculous opinion And of course, everyone would acknowledge it's a ridiculous opinion. Except, of course, when it was becoming the damn near majority opinion, when the Lakers started 7 and 2.

And instead of talking about Jalen Williams, we were talking about LeBron James. Well, they sure have a good thing going. Luke is in control. Austin Reeves is playing awesome. maybe just maybe LeBron coming back would screw things up that

96 hours ago was a quite popular take maybe less than that I think I argued with the owner of this company on TV about that 48 hours ago and it's just

there are so many takes out there that exist around LeBron, that if they existed around any other player, would be laughed out of the room. And they just, but people are so numb to the insane conversation surrounding that guy

for the last quarter century, that we accept it. It was a legitimate talk show topic. will the Lakers be better or worse when LeBron James Senior comes in and starts taking some of the minutes that are currently going to LeBron James Jr.? People talked about it. Will the Lakers be better or worse when some of the shots that are currently being taken by Jared Vanderbilt and Marcus Smart? go to LeBron James, fresh off coming in sixth and MVP voting and second team all NBA. Well, you don't want to mess up the flow with Luca.

Like we didn't see LeBron last year once they got Luca and he was healthy, seamlessly play off the ball. Just so insane. And the real story. from last night's game is right now lebron and j dub are right in they live in the same neighborhood as far as overall impact on the game and quality you know if you're ranking NBA players they're within two or three of each other and by the way the thunder also didn't have dort and so how close are the lakers to the thunder and the answer to that question

probably is not close at all and while it is incredibly hard to repeat in the modern NBA the Thunder who are beating teams by an average of 15 points and at this point I got what are a coin flip to win 70 with respect to the Nuggets and Joker and with respect to the Cavs and the Knicks and I suppose I should include the Pistons because they are 10 and 2 and on an 8 game winning streak

out east the Thunder right now seem to be in just a different class than everyone else and the goal for the rest of the West contenders

legitimately probably needs to be can I make sure I am a two or a three seed and avoid okay C as long as possible and then see what shape they're in coming off a championship

once they get to round three of the playoffs because they are right now. And again, I know Denver's been awesome. And it's also really weird. Denver and OKC, I don't think they play until like February. They play four games, I think, in the final 30 of the regular season. OKC seems to right now just be in a different league than everybody else. So last night,

was an exciting night in the association, the marquee game, Daniels tell me they don't play each other until February 1st. Right. So it's going to be a while until we get to see that matchup. And so they play February 1st, February 27th, March 9th, and then April 10th. So we're going to get to see them a bunch in a two months, you know, two and a half month stretch, but none until then.

But the story of the night was Joker's performance, Steph's brilliance, and the Thunder just putting the Lakers to bed early. 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 it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty wide.

range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. 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. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. 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 running 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. Oh, yeah.

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. This week on Crimless, we're joined by our first ever guest. Sorry, our first ever human guest. I don't think I could be in the same room with Shamrock the parrot. I'd be too nervous. That's right. The very funny Will Ferrell joins Rory Scovel and me, Josh Dean,

for an episode dedicated to the many crimes committed by people also named Will Ferrell. They called to his fellow officer for the nippers. What are the nippers? Very good question. No, I was thinking, would that be a good name for like a salad dressing? Simple assault. And it's a play on word, salt? Maybe not.

I say we invest in. There's only one way to know. This did not amuse the cops. By the way, normally the cops are amused, but this did not abuse the cops. Will even comes clean about some of his own crimes. I didn't get caught. You know why?

If you don't want to be suspected of anything, you whistle as you walk. Listen to crime lists on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Keith Gianmanca 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 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 secret. 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 you listen to podcasts about AI

in tech and the future of humanity. The hosts always act like they know what they're talking about, and they are experts at everything. Here, the Nick Dick and Poll Show, we're not afraid to make mistakes. What Kugler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is?

I don't know. You mean the, like, the president? You think Canada has a president. You think China has a president? Those law crusette. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket and stuff.

sing to it at like it's like the old Polish saying not my monkeys not my circus it was a good one I like that it is an actual Polish saying it is an actual Polish saying yeah it is an actual better version of play stupid games win stupid prizes yes which by the way

wasn't Taylor Swift who said that for the first time I actually I thought it was I got that wrong listen to the Nick Dick and Paul show on the IHeart Radio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts now the story for this weekend in the NFL is the best weekend of games we've had up to this point this season.

Games, excuse me, games this weekend where both teams have major playoff implications. Buck's bills, obviously, Chargers Jags, which barely makes the cut, Seahawks Rams, which is maybe game of the year up to this point, Chiefs Broncos and then Lions Eagles. And it is a damn shame that none of those games were able to be flexed to Monday night where we're going to get Cowboys Raiders. If there was ever a time to flip out the 405 Seahawks Rams for Cowboys Raiders, that would have been it.

put that Monday night and put Cowboys Raiders at 4 o'clock on Sunday, but they didn't do it. So we have an unbelievable week into football, and I'm going to start with Chiefs Broncos, where I understand the numbers are the Chiefs have lost two of three to Denver. One of those games was week 18 last year and totally irrelevant to me. what is relevant to me is this. Patrick Mahomes has played Denver 14 times in his career, and he's 13 and 1. It's the best winning percentage with at least 10 games played against a single opponent this century in the NFL. It's the fourth best in NFL history, you know, not just this century.

and what's interesting is they have not all or even most been dominating wins or crazy stats because even back when the Broncos stunk and Vic Fangio was there, they had a good defensive game playing for Kansas City. And Mahomes hasn't had a ton of eye-popping stat games against Denver. The reason he's 13 and 1 is because whoever the hell Denver's quarterback has been throughout Patrick's career, they've never been able to give any trouble whatsoever to that Chief's defense. And I believe that continues this weekend. I think that the Broncos at the moment have every trademark of an excellent team.

except for the most important by far, which is quality quarterback. And Bo Nix, in the biggest professional game of his life, other than the playoff game when they got destroyed, going up against Steve Spagnolo's defense coming off a buy, is a mismatch. And so I do think Denver's defense is going to be up to the fight. Denver's defense is awesome. Nick Benito and company are great, and even without Pat Sartan, that's an awesome defense. There's no getting around that.

But you're not going to be able to win that game against Kansas City the way they've won, the way they beat the Texans, 18 to 15, the giant, or sorry, the Jet. 13-11, the Raiders, 10 to 7. Even the Eagles, when they had three points going into the fourth quarter. That's not, or the Titans game, 20 to 12. That's not going to cut it. And so I do have a lot of respect for that Denver O line and everything that Denver defense does. but that doesn't change the fact that you have either the best or the second best quarterback in the history of the league fully healthy with his full receiving core up against right now a bottom five full time starter

that's enough to tilt the matchup now I want to be clear on this I don't think you're going to have a 30-point game from Kansas City. I think it is going to be a similar game plan as they had against the Jags that would have worked, but Mahomes made the big mistake at the goal line, which is be conservative, don't turn the ball over, don't make mistakes, don't give them short fields, don't let Mahomes get beat up by that pass rush that is on pace to break the all-time NFL record in sacks and find a way to win the game

and wrestle control back of the division because this is for the Chiefs a a FC West championship elimination-ish game it would take a full-blown collapse by Denver if they win this game for the chiefs to be able to catch them within the

division and that's not even mentioning the Chargers piece of it now the flip side to that is if the chiefs win this game they are in my opinion right back in full control of the aFC west can't city wins this game with home games remaining against the Chargers and Broncos, plus a road game against the Raiders, that's a path to going 5 and 1 in the division if you win this game. And then with the feeling just being, cults, Cowboys, Texans, go to, two and one in that stretch. And that's how you get to 12 and 5, 5 and 1 in the division, and that'll win you the division.

And so it is a must win for Kansas City when it comes to their chance of winning the AFC West. It is not a must win when it comes to their chance of making the playoffs. but the the AFC is it's really hard to handicap right now from a seating perspective like what will

it take to be the number one seed number two seed number three seed and are we potentially looking at a multi-way tie of 12 and 5 teams for the one or the two seed. The Patriots to me are, and they're going to win tonight against the Jets, are in great shape.

And I just believe the Pats are going to be the one seat. Because if you're New England, even if you lose your two tough games remaining, home for the bills at the Ravens, your other games are Jets, Bengals, Giants, Jets, dolphins. So if the Patriots can just hold serve, they finish 13 and 4 and with four conference losses, that should be enough

to be the number one seat. And I'm not sure exactly how all the tiebreakers would work for them. But, well, actually, no, I am. If they go 13 and 4, the only way they wouldn't be the one seed is if the chiefs run the table, if Denver only loses one game,

the rest of the way or if the cults, I'm not sure how the tiebreaker would work against Indy. I think it's too early to see, but I don't think the cults are going 13 and 4. So the Patriots are in great shape and the real fight should be for the two seed, which again, in the AFC this year is not going to be any huge prize. the two seed in round one likely plays either Kansas City, Buffalo, or the Chargers. Maybe Denver. So it's just, you don't know how the playoff bracket's going to end up falling. What you do feel comfortable in is if Kansas City loses this game, that they,

They are now just trying to secure a playoff berth and no longer the division. And if Denver loses this game, which I think they will, they then run the risk of having the end of season that I anticipated when I picked them to miss the playoffs that they could have. they have a buy and then they have a couple soft spots at the commanders which we didn't think was going to be a soft spot but now you assume that's without jaden daniels and then at the raiders but then the final month of the year packers jaggs chiefs chargers and you wonder if denver if there is a world where Denver goes from eight and two and i think currently the two seed to 10 and 7 and the 7 seed. And going into the playoffs playing its worst ball.

Again, maybe I'm just going to be proven stone wrong about Bo Nix and this team on a seven-game fraudulent winning streak. I doubt it. But a huge game. And one of the biggest, the biggest regular season game, the biggest game that's been played in Denver in a decade. And one of the bigger regular season games, because there haven't been many of them, that the Chiefs have played since Mooms has been there.

Wasn't Taylor Swift who said that for the first time I actually I thought it was I got that wrong Listen to the Nick Dick and Paul show On the Iheart Radio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts All right Seahawks at Rams

Is As I've been saying Maybe the game of the year Up to this point It is wildly important and also this sounds so dumb

I hate that I'm saying this but this is what I truly believe it's wildly important and also maybe not important at all and what I mean is these might just be the two best teams in football and both of these

teams have oddly been better on the road there are combined eight and one on the road while being a combined six and three at home. And these two teams are going to play each other again in a few weeks. I don't know if it's a few weeks, but obviously they're going to play again before the end of the season. They play, yeah, in five weeks. So they're going to get a chance for some get back.

What I do think is not likely but possible that for the NFC West to have a chance at the one seed one of these teams is going to have to sweep the other because philly their remaining schedule and their division is just so soft after again philly is detroit this week and tampa we've talked all year about how soft their final six weeks are that if one if seattle or the rams can sweep the other one that would go a super long long way into one of those teams potentially being the one seat. These are also arguably the two most well-balanced teams in the league. As far as great defense, great offense, as far as more than competent running game,

and then dynamic passing attack, they both have two very good but very different coaches. And it's exactly what it should be. Home team favored by three, old school. where that used to be, now it's two and a half really is what the home team gets, but where two totally equally matched teams will give the home team three points. And I don't have a super strong handicap on this game. My lean is the Rams because it's in Los Angeles. But as I said, Seattle's on this insane, they haven't lost it on the road this year.

And I think they were 10 and 0, or they've won 10 straight on the road. So maybe I'm putting too much into the home field advantage piece of it. The other kind of tangential storylines are we get to see. Darnold in a big spot. And I'm not going to do the pumpkin mode thing on Darnold because I feel like he's been so good this year that he deserves more respect than that. But it is that the concern last year was how will Sam play in these big spots? And obviously, at the very end of the year, he played his absolute work. after playing so great all year long.

He also, last year, lost to the Rams in the regular season, but played well, and then lost to the Rams in the playoffs, but played terribly. So there is, there is that kind of hanging over the game of

And then there is the point that I have been maybe annoyingly hung up on this week on TV, which is Matt Stafford cementing himself as a Hall of Famer by winning League MVP this year. Because Stafford's Hall of Fame case is going to be really tricky in that he's got no all pros has never come close to an MVP, has a 500 record, but he's going to finish in the top 10 and closer to 5 than 10 in every major passing stat. The eye test helps him a ton. He's been as an unbelievable statistical playoff resume, even if it's limited, 5 and 5 playoff. record and number one pick, people not necessarily holding the Detroit stuff against him. Right now, I don't think he'd get in.

But if you win a Super Bowl and you're a quarterback and you win an MVP, every single one of those guys has gotten in except for Thaisman. And Thysmans was weird because he won his Super Bowl in the strike year and the one his MVP the year after. So the point is, I think if Stafford wins the MVP, he punches his Hall of Fame ticket, and I think for him to win the MVP, they probably have to win the division. Because that's just how the voting has gone historically. Like quarterbacks, usually it's the one or the two seed, but the very least you win your

division. So that is kind of a sidebar story hovering over Stafford, who has just been out of his mind this year and how well he's played, particularly the last month when he's gone in his last three games, five touchdowns, no picks, four touchdowns, no picks, four touchdowns, no picks. and for this season, 25 touchdowns, two interceptions, a 115 rating. Just a bananas, bananas season from Stafford. If he can play a clean, really good game against Seattle, I don't know if he puts a stranglehold on the MVP race,

but he puts himself in great, great position. All right, guys, I am going to Los Angeles to see Demonsie and the baby for Thanksgiving. And just like last year, the day after Thanksgiving, the Lakers have a home game. And I'm going to go. So I am shouting out right now, sponsor of today's video,

Lions Eagles, Sunday night football. And once again, the Eagles cannot stay out of their own way despite winning games. And I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts,

NFL Daily. I talk about a lot with Greg Rosenthal and company. And in previewing this game, his co-as Patrick Claibon, you know, basically tongue in cheek, melted down about the media bothering Siriani and Hertz about A.J. Brown and about how this team won a Super Bowl last year and about how this is much ado about nothing because the latest A.J. Brown drama is him going on a Twitch stream and saying things are not going, well and drop me on your fantasy team and how he and I'm sure others think it's a non-story. Here's why I vehemently disagree with that. A.J. Brown being happy or not might not matter.

But the Philadelphia Eagles with the most expensive offense in NFL history, history with guys who are all pro caliber all over the offensive line multiple receivers sayquan jail and hurts that team being this pedestrian on offense is a story it flatly is and it's inexplicable their inability out of a buy in a game they scored zero points in the have to get A.J. Brown involved is inexplicable. Them leading the league by a huge margin on three and out rate is indefensible. And so I give the Eagles credit because they do find a way to win and their champions. and the defense, particularly with the addition of J.L. and Phillips, is rounding into form.

All of that is great. But A.J. Brown is not wrong. He might be wrong in his delivery, in the way it feels diva-ish or selfish. All that's fine. But his concern that this offense is not functioning properly is totally correct. Totally correct. And I don't have an answer for it. It seems like Petulow and Siriani are wildly conservative with the play calls up until they are just lunatics on the fourth and down at the end of the game.

They have the highest rate of running the ball on third and long of any team. in 25 years, which are just give up plays. Now, some of that, a tiny bit of that might be tush push related, but really, their give up plays. And so it feels silly to concern troll the Eagles who have won like 22 of their last 24. and are the defending champs. But it also feels ridiculous to watch that team have zero points at halftime, to see AJ Brown with multiple games this year with three or fewer targets after he had one game like

that the previous three years and act like nothing is wrong. Also, it is to me at this point a foregone conclusion. conclusion that A.J. Brown is going to be gone this offseason. And I would be, I personally would be quite surprised. Like, my money would be on A.J. Brown is going to be a New England Patriot a year from now. But none of that matters for this season. I almost shouldn't have even brought it up because the trade deadline is past. And that's the other part of this that is baffling to me. You have a buy.

You decide not to trade A.J. Brown. The market for receipt, like, again, this is me just speculating. But if Buffalo was going to give up a one and a three for J. Waddle, I would imagine they would have given up something similar for A.J. Brown. Philly didn't want to trade him. So then use him. And if you're not going to use him, it's got to be because the offense is humming without him. but it's not. Sequin, the game before the buy, notwithstanding,

Sequin is having a brutal year. He is averaging 3.9 yards per carry. Sequin's yards and yards per carry by game this season, 63.3, 88, 4.0, 46, 2.6. 43, 2.3. 30, 5.0. Only got 6 carries. And a loss to Denver.

58, 4.8. 44, 2.4. The game against the Giants, 150, 10.7. And then 60 for 2.7. So aside from the Giants game, Saquan this year has run the ball 135 times for 429 yards. So what is that?

135 for 429. 135 times 3 is 405. So that is 3.2 yards per carry? I'm now going to check. I'm now going to do that math real quick. and see if I got it. I think it's 3.2 yards per carry.

So we said it was 429 divided by 135. Yeah, 3.18 yards per carry aside from the Giants game. So feed the ball to AJ Brown. It's just baffling. And I don't think it's, we can say him being upset is nothing. But the offense not working is not nothing.

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 a... We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there.

But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name? Hey Jonas, guys. I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. 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, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. 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, 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. This week on Crimless, we're joined by our first ever guest. Sorry, our first ever human guest. I don't think I could be in the same room with Shamrock the parrot. I'd be too nervous. That's right. The very funny Will Ferrell joins Rory Scovel and me, Josh Dean,

for an episode dedicated to the many crimes committed by people also named Will Ferrell. They called to his fellow officer for the nippers. What are the nippers? Very good question. No, I was thinking, would that be a good name for like a salad dressing? Simple assault. And it's a play on word, salt? Maybe not.

I say we invest and we see. There's only one way to know. This did not amuse the cops. By the way, normally the cops are amused, but this did not abuse the cops. Will even comes clean about some of his own crimes. I didn't get caught. You know why? If you don't want to be suspected of anything, you whistle as you walk. Listen to crime lists on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Keith Gianmanca 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 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 you're 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.

who said that for the first time. I actually, I thought it was. I got that wrong. Listen to the Nick, Dick, and Paul show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Another huge game this weekend, Bucks Bills.

And, And vibes-wise, important for Tampa, but not, it's important for Tampa for vibes, and if they want to have a real shot at the one seat. It's not really that important for any other reason. We talked all year about this three-game stretch, Patriots at Bills at Rams, and then the six-game cake walk they have to end the year. So they'll be fine either way, especially in that division and with the Panthers coming back down to Earth. The bills, vibes-wise, this is important and also logistically-wise, this is important.

The bills already are, according to the New York Times, down to 15% to win their division. And if they lose this game, that gets cut in half. So unless they want to be a wild card, obviously they've got to win. But you also would like to see Buffalo look like Buffalo against a good team. And I know they just came off that win against the Chiefs, and that was a great win. But fair or not, Buffalo's the one team.

the beating the Chiefs in the regular season doesn't really mean anything to them because they're so used to it. And if they were to lose this game, all of a sudden, they're in Houston on Thursday night, a week from today. And you also feel like there is a chance Tampa comes into this game a little healthier than they've been. They already got their offensive linemen back, and Bucky Irving and Chris Godwin did return to practice. Now, they were limited, but they're practicing again. Buffalo, meanwhile, Dalton Kincaid did not practice Wednesday,

and Khalil Shakir was limited. So Buffalo seems pretty banged up, and seems unsteady. I still believe both of these teams are super dangerous come the postseason. But if Buffalo loses at home after losing to Miami, I think there is a chance for some real drama there. it feels like amongst the fans, there's already a lot of discontent. Some fans don't like the GM.

A lot of fans don't like the head coach. A lot of fans seem to not like Joe Brady anymore. And they do all of a sudden the bills who were supposed to have this super soft schedule, but didn't take full advantage of it with the losses to the Falcons and the dolphins. All of a sudden, next handful of games home for the bucks at the texans on thursday at the steelers and then do i have this right yeah the yeah and then against cincinnati and what should be a game against joe burrow before you go to new england again it's a tough little stretch so do i think like the bills can

full on steady themselves with a win this weekend. And they should win. But you'd like to see Josh Allen have an A-plus clean game with some big plays, and you'd like to see that defense be able to slow down the run, which they simply have not been able to do all year long. On the buck's side of things, a great Baker game and a win would get him back where he was, a month into the year in the real thick of the MVP conversation, particularly if Stafford and the Rams lose to Seattle.

And I don't expect Patrick to help himself in the MVP race this weekend because obviously they could lose. I don't think they will. But even if they win, I don't think he's going to have a huge stats game. And then the last game of the weekend that we discussed where both teams have real playoff implications is Chargers, Jags. And that is a crazy element of where the AFC is right now. And this will probably surprise people. If the Jags beat the Chargers, even if Kansas City,

wins, Kansas City will still be on the outside looking in of the playoff picture. Because if the Jags beat the Chargers, the Jags will be six and four. Same with the Chiefs, if the Chiefs beat the Broncos, and the Jags obviously have the head-to-head tiebreaker. So that is a weird spot for the current Super Bowl football football. favorite Kansas City Chiefs that even if they win this weekend, they might still go into week 12 on the outside looking in of the playoffs. For the Jags, and this is why, and this applies to the Chiefs, even though I think they'll be

fine, this applies to the Chargers if they lose this game. this applies to the bills if they lose to the bucks. If the Jags win this game, which full disclosure, I don't think they will. I thought that loss to the Texans was an abomination the way it happened. And since beating the Chiefs, they have one win, and it came in overtime thanks to a stopped two-point conversion over the Raiders. but if the Jags beat the Chargers, they get to 6 and 4

with games remaining against the Cardinals, Titans, Jets, and Titans again. Like the Jags have a very real path, even if they get swept by the Colts and lose to the Broncos, to somehow getting to 10 wins. And holding the head to, again, if they win this game, holding the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Chargers and over the Chiefs,

which could create some very uncomfortable situations late in the season for those two teams. But I think the Chargers will be able to win this game. We'll see on tomorrow's show if it's one of the picks. And I also think the loss of Travis is just brutal for him. And do I have hope? that the Jags can win and we can recreate this iconic video sure do I think it's gonna happen probably not last time these two teams flight each other or at least the last big game these two teams played against each other here's what

happened right afterwards I'm gonna tell everyone how Nick Wright is in great the Jaguars were four and eight and somebody had the foresight to say they're still winning the division. And I told you guys a month ago that the next time they lose was gonna be in Arrowhead to the Chiefs in the divisional round. Yo, you don't say! Everybody laughed at me.

Hold on, guys. Man. Never a doubt. I gotta tell you, there's a little bit doubt. The Prince comes through. To mention he's still undefeated on Saturdays. Undefeated on Saturdays! I forgot about that stupid take.

I had. I forgot about so much of that. Also, my hair was a lot shorter. I'm getting a haircut today, actually. Maybe I should just play him that video and be like, I want that Jags look. Maybe we'll give Trevor a little juice. All right. Quick listener questions.

What presents a bigger problem for Casey in the next two games? Broncos defense or the Colts defense, Lou Anorumo. I think Broncos defense presents a bigger problem, but the Colts obviously have a much, much, much. much more potent offense. Rule of halves, why does no one at first things first respect Jackson DART? I think we respect Jackson DART. I don't think anybody is over the top about him,

but I don't think people take shots at Jackson DART. Andy asks, what's your minimum height for an NFL quarterback? 6-1. 6-1 is my answer. Nick, do you think Drake May is actually your after your top five quarterback. Seems like every year we had a rookie to this tier. I know he played last year for this first full year.

I mean, last year was basically a full year. Listen, I think he is going to be in that caliber. And I don't add a rookie to that every year. Now, I add Caleb to that before his rookie year. But I pumped the brakes on CJ Stroud and I pumped the breaks on J. And I believe in Drake May that he's that caliber. Brandon, can we please all finally agree Lamar is a better passer than Josh Allen? No, we don't.

We don't all agree on that. Someone asks, I need three best bets for this weekend and I need a win. Tune in tomorrow. In fact, that'll do it for us today.
