Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is an iHeart 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 iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy. Not quite.
On Humor Me with Robert Smigel and Friends, me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guests, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an acapella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter.

Your body is not what you thought it was. Your identity is formed by a secret history. I'm Dani Shapiro, and these are just a few of the stunning stories I'll be exploring on the 14th season of Family Secrets. He kind of shoved me out of the way and said, move. And he went out the front door and he jumped in a car and drove off. And that was the last time I saw him.
Listen to season 14 of Family Secrets on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akilah Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things.
As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority Black city, in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslaved people.

Chapter 2: What was Jalen Brunson's impact in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals?
But you really just got killed by Brunson. Brunson saved the Knicks in this game.
Clearly.
They're down 22. And they couldn't get it done. And Mitchell couldn't hit a shot at the end of the game there. His last bucket was 8-19 left in the fourth quarter. Didn't score the rest of the way. But it's just weird. It was weird. Again, Harden signaling to that bench, what are we doing? Nobody knew. You could hear every single broadcaster, every single person.
He's basically pleading, save me out here. Leaving me on an island. I mean, they're allowing it easily, you're right. But it was Brunson just cooking him. But also, it was like, double off OG Ananobi. The guy hadn't played in two weeks. He didn't have it going at all. He kept getting to the free throw line, but...
It was an adventure every time it seemed like he was catching the ball out of these double teams. This was just honestly ridiculous for Kenny Atkinson. I almost felt bad for Harden. He was like a kid that gets caught smoking a cigarette. So you got to smoke the whole pack. You got to guard Jalen Brunson for an entire quarter here. Let's see if you can do it. And obviously he couldn't.
No, he could not. And then they didn't go at Brunson either when he got his fifth foul. They didn't go at him defensively at all either, which was strange. They let him off the hook, for sure.
It's so weird, this comeback, too, because when you have a comeback of this magnitude, it's usually like, oh, there's some sloppy turnovers on one end, and they're forcing the ball out of their hand, and they're scoring in transition. Did they score a single transition point? the Knicks in this huge comeback? No, it was just getting stops. Obviously the Cavs were settling.
It was this weird thing. It felt like they were just up so much. And maybe this is why Kenny Atkinson is like, you know, sitting on these timeouts. It's like, it's okay. We score once or twice. We'll be fine. Yeah. We've built such a big lead that they're just not going to have enough time to come back. Obviously that didn't happen, but that's the weirdest part.
This was a comeback, just destroying a team in the half court setting, not forced turnovers, which usually play a part in something like this. Which doesn't happen rarely ever. And it was the same play over and over and over. That's like how you play football like a Madden against your friends. You're like, you don't know how to stop this play. I'm doing it every time.

Chapter 3: Why did Kenny Atkinson refuse to call a timeout during the Knicks' comeback?
There's some dry figs in there. Wow, there's an assortment of things in there. You see this fig? It's got so much stem on it. I don't care. I'm eating that stem. Wow. That's where the nutrients are. I've seen stems today. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, Nick? 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. Yeah, a pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how did we actually come up with the name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it, and...
Well, we were thinking of 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 iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy.

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.

Chapter 4: Where does this loss rank among the worst in Cavaliers' history?
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 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.

Was this the worst loss in Cavaliers history? I saw people wondering that. Here's the list. Let me give you some good ones. Unfortunately, they have some in their history. This was bad.
Obviously bad, especially if they go on to lose this series, which a lot of people, including yourselves, think. Game one of the 2018 NBA Finals was a pretty rough loss. That's the J.R. Smith game. That's tough. That's okay. That's the leader for me right now. Game one. Game three of the 2017 finals was a bit of a rough one. That was Kyle Korver had a really good look at a three in the corner.
He missed it. And then Kevin Durant came and hit the dagger. Uh, the Warriors closed that game on an 11 to O run, uh, to then obviously go on to, to win the championship. So tough one. Uh, Joe Varden said maybe one of the losses to the Celtics in 2010 before LeBron left to go to Miami. And then you got to include this one, the shot from Michael Jordan in, uh, in 1989.
Now it's a first round series, but the Cavs were favored in the series. They were a really good team that year. Um, but obviously MJ, uh, Shot over Elo. So I think, I'm sure there's some others out there, but it's a pretty good list. Pretty sad list. For sure. It's got to be game one of the finals, though. Yeah, I agree, but I would put this probably number two. Game one of the 18 finals.
Yeah, but the pushback on that one is, were they going to win that series? Well, we don't know. I know, it changes. It's like this one, I guess. It's unlikely they were going to win. But it ended up in a broken hand for LeBron as well, and memes from there and on out. Yeah. And I'm speaking personally as well, because there was... LeBron yelling at people that wasn't caught on camera.
