Jonas Brothers 0:00
Hey guys, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick.
Chad Johnson 0:03
And guess what? We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it.
Jonas Brothers 0:10
We just contributed to it.
Michael Rapaport 0:12
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.
Jonas Brothers 0:17
Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but you know. Tired and sick. Tired and sick.

How did the Las Vegas Aces perform against the Seattle Storm?

Jonas Brothers 0:22
Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.
Iso Joe Johnson 0:29
Thunder GM Sam Presti spoke on the criticism towards SGA. Let's take a listen to what Mr. Presti had to say.

What was the outcome of Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby's court ruling?

Jonas Brothers 0:36
Relative to Shea and the narrative on that, you know, he's playing against six people. He's got five defenders and the sixth defender is social media. And, you know, that's a reality. And he's not going to be the last player that the machine decides to target. But no one's going to handle this gracefully because when they turn it on somebody else, they're not going to step up there every night and not acknowledge it.
Iso Joe Johnson 1:09
I mean, what do you mean the machine? What do you mean social media? So what the machine is talking about, what social media is talking about is exactly what he does game by game. every night. What are we talking about? I'm sure Mr. Presley, that's your player. You have to defend your player.

What are the implications of Sorsby's ruling on his college football eligibility?

Iso Joe Johnson 1:24
But the eye in the sky doesn't lie, Joe. You saying, what you saying? You saying he out there foul baiting? Yeah, of course. Listen, listen, listen. Is Mr. Presley lying? Listen, listen. I'm not saying, I'm not saying sometimes, you know, he don't over exaggerate, you know, and try and get calls. But man, that damn game seven, he didn't do no damn foul baiting. That man was getting straight buckets. This is a part of who he is and what he's done over the past three to four or five years, fellas. You know what I mean? He's a bucket getter. He creates a lot of contact. He plays through contact. He actually plays off of contact by lowering his shoulder, not overextending, but using them bumps to create space.
Iso Joe Johnson 2:12
That's legal. Yeah, that's legal, bro. That's what people don't understand.

How do the hosts analyze the impact of social media on athletes?

Iso Joe Johnson 2:16
Like, you can use your forearm, your shoulders, your hips to create space. Long as I don't overextend, I can brace myself. The same thing with us, Ocho, how we do that, how we get that deep in that. Yeah, I just think he's so good at it, bro, and he's perfected it, that now it's a problem. You know what I mean? No, Joe, that's not a problem, which you just explained. There are a lot of players that have that in their toolbox. Which about the flailing, the throwing your body all over the place, trying to create the foul and get the foul calls. That is what he does all the time. I see it. You see it. Ray Charles can see it. I don't know what Mr. Presti watches. I know you have to defend your player, but the point to where everybody is mimicking some of the stuff he does globally around the world and making fun of it,
Iso Joe Johnson 3:06
Yeah, I mean, look, Ocho, it's a part of who he is, but he's right when he say that six, that machine, because social media points out they break down your game, bro. They break your whole game down, and they may clip farm you all the way up for five, ten minutes of you pushing off, creating space. And now, quite naturally, if a referee sees it, he going to watch it. You know what I mean? So he's just planting that seed.

What are the key factors in the Las Vegas Aces' recent success?

Iso Joe Johnson 3:38
Yeah. Like you said, Joe. It's too many C's out there, Joe. It's too many C's being planted because we continuously see the same thing over and over and over, as great as he is. He's one that knows how to manipulate his body, manipulate defenders, and get calls. He does, and I think the thing now is that what Sam is saying is that because you have social media and because you have everybody that has a platform, and even though obviously some people's platforms are larger, some people have five followers, some people got 500,000, some people got millions. And so now when you get everybody that they feel they're a head coach, they feel they're a former player, they feel like they're a GM or an analyst, and they can put this, what, a copulation,
