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. Listen to Humor Me with Robert Smigel and friends on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Chapter 2: How did the Knicks defeat the Cavaliers to reach the NBA Finals?
But it almost doesn't count when you go up like this. Yeah, but when you're up 22 in the fourth quarter of game one, then it all crumbled from there. If they win game one, then it's probably looked at as... A huge accomplishment for the Cavs. At least five, six, who knows what happened. Because they still got to there. But we mentioned Carl Anthony Towns a couple of times.
That guy deserves a ton of credit and a ton of applause because he always gets ridiculed. He's always the punching bag. this guy's got to step up offensively. He's got to score more. He's not masculine enough. Whatever the heck that means that he gets on social media, but he has absolutely evolved into this piece where he doesn't need to score 25 points.
He is just the center of this team in terms of moving the ball. They just got it all going on together. He's a great defender. You could argue he's been their best defender this postseason. Something else he just receives so much ridicule for. What a performance by him. They just needed to go down 2-1 in that opening round series.
Whether you give the credit to Mike Brown for turning this team around or just those guys in the locker room for having their backs against the wall and deciding, all right. Let's switch this up a little bit. Everybody get involved. A lot of it has to go to Mike Brown for getting Carlton Towns more on the perimeter to be in that hub to making everybody involved.
But everybody performing top to bottom. Nobody scored 20 for them in a 37-point blast. Yeah. It's a blast. That is true. It did feel like there was five guys who could have probably gone for 20 if they actually had to play this entire game. But, yeah, I give Mike Brown a ton of credit for making the offense way more โ
evenly distributed amongst everybody because doing that makes everybody want to play hard on both ends. And suddenly Carl Anthony Towns cares about playing defense because he's going to touch the ball every possession rather than just watch Brunson dribble it. So Brunson's still the head of the snake, but...
elevating towns in the hierarchy, elevated everybody else, and locked in this team as a team that really believes they can win. And, like, heading to the finals, they're going to be the underdogs for sure against whoever comes out of the Western Conference. But the Knicks are the healthiest they've been in, like, three seasons, it feels like, right now.
We don't know what the Spurs or the Thunder are going to look like when they get through their hellacious series. Knicks are going to at least win a couple of games in the finals. They're playing incredibly well. Yeah. Like this isn't them squeaking by here in like seven game series where they look bad at times. Like this is just an ass kicking.
They are dominating these teams on the road in closeout games. Toughest thing to do. Put these teams to bed. And they do it in like they do it in like 13 minutes. Like whatever, like in the Hawks closeout game, they were up 20, like in 11 minutes. Same thing against Philly. This one took a little bit longer. Heaven forbid, you know, like 14 minutes, let's call it.

Chapter 3: What impact did Jalen Brunson have in the Eastern Conference Finals?
I think that's a pretty interesting motivational technique. Right, right. Don't forget that moment. You don't want to be back here. You don't want to be this sad ever again. But I don't know if they were showing us the actual video or like dramatization of what the video could be. But obviously Tom Thibodeau is in it. I feel like that's kind of rubbing in his face a little bit.
And the last thing was Josh Hart called out some reporter for eating chicken wings during the press conference. He's like, I see you're supposed to be asking questions. You're sucking on your fingers eating those chicken wings. They look like they're hitting, though. Who what? We don't know who it was. I couldn't figure it out. I couldn't figure out who brought the wings to the reporter mix.
Oh, now I'm interested. Yeah, who took the wings? Let us know, Dan Devine. Yeah, or Schumann or whoever was there.
Chapter 4: What key moves did the Knicks make to get to this point?
Could have been them eating the wings. Wow. No, I can't see those two eating wings. After a press conference, like at a press conference, no way. They're too professional, those guys. I would have to agree. I've only ever seen John Schumann eat tacos. But I've seen him eat tacos a handful of times. More than you would imagine. Wow. I saw him eat noodles once, too. Wow.
I've seen him eat a lot of meals. But never at a press conference. Yeah. Yeah. That's different. That's different. All right. Let's take a break. And when we come back, we will talk about the Cavaliers offseason decisions. There are a few. All right, let's build a parlay for OKC Spurs game five because FanDuel is giving you better payouts on same game parlays all NBA playoffs long.
Parlay position one. Lou Dort to make the first basket of the game. Yeah, I'm doing that. Wow. He did in game two of the series, so this is their first time back in OKC. That's where he last did it. Is that the one where he drove? He drove inside on that one? Yeah, mid-range. Yes, I think so. Yeah, I think so too. Parlay position two, Chet Holmgren, eight plus rebounds.
He's done in two of the four games. He's coming off one. I think he can do that. Parlay position three. I'm definitely going more conservative after that crazy Lou Dort one. Case and Wallace, two plus made threes. Not asking a lot. Just two plus made threes. Parlay position four, Stephon Castle, six plus assists. Seems easy. Okay. Plus 54, 53 is what it pays.
It's a little risky. The dork's the big one.
The dork's the wild one. Yeah, it could be over after 30 seconds. Because Wemby's probably going to win the tip. He's four for four. Yeah, you're going to need to stop. That's a great point. One stop, Lou's going to hit a shot. Wow. We'll see. From spreads to player points to threes and more, build it all into one same game parlay and go for bigger payouts.
More options, better payouts, all NBA playoffs long. Head to the FanDuel Sportsbook app. FanDuel, official partner of the NBA. Play your game. Okay, let's, speaking of playing games, let's play Fill in the Blank. It's been a hot minute since we played Fill in the Blank, but I got a few fun Fill in the Blank questions for you guys. And the first one has to do with the Cavaliers.
Let's just get right to it. The Cavaliers' biggest off-season decision is blank. So whether or not they copy exactly what the Knicks did last season and fire Tom Thibodeau and fire Kenny Atkinson immediately. I think they have to do that immediately. Wow, today you say he's gone. I honestly am looking at the days as to they lose on Monday. How many days does it take them?
I think that's the biggest thing they should and have to do because of how much money they have tied up in their roster. It is locked up all over the place. And so... You want a coach to come in and try and get a little bit more from Evan Mobley. You want somebody to ask James Harden to move off the ball just a little bit. Obviously, there's going to be some roster questions.
