Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.031 - 21.811 Unknown

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.

0

22.092 - 33.227 Unknown

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.

71.088 - 78.479 Unknown

Portia accusing Kelly of sleeping with a married man. They holding K. Michelle back from fighting Drew. Pinky has financial issues.

Chapter 2: What important element do the Thunder lack for a dynasty?

659.219 - 681.902 Mike Tirico

Same meal. That's it. It's like there's one restaurant in OKC and it's SGA. He's serving up what he does every single night against every single team. That is not something that is must-see TV. That's what the NBA wants. When you get to the finals, they want a big audience. Wemby is a different creature.

0

682.827 - 704.158 Mike Tirico

And the Knicks are going to be the Knicks, and you get celebrities there, you get the atmosphere there, you get, you know, it's all involved there. That's what you want. Now, that's not what you always get. You can't get the Yankees against the Dodgers in the World Series every year. If you could, baseball would be like, yes, we'll sign up for that. But it's tricky when it comes to dynasties.

0

704.738 - 708.564 Mike Tirico

What is a dynasty depending on the sport? Yes, Marvin.

0

709.145 - 717.736 Marv Albert

The Pistons and the Rockets, they both went back-to-back. But we don't consider them dynasties. We remember them, but they're not considered dynasties like the Lakers and the Bulls.

0

717.976 - 746.719 Mike Tirico

Yes. I think you've got to win at least three in five years. If you go three-peat, then you're a dynasty. But it depends on the sport. If you go back-to-back... Like we keep talking about the Patriots back at the beginning of, you know, this decade or century where you go, oh, back to back. That's why it doesn't happen. It's harder to do that in the NFL than it is these other sports. Yes, Dylan.

747.155 - 772.922 Mike Tirico

Are you considering the Patriots two dynasties or one continuous one, obviously with a lull in between? Because I imagine as long as Brady was there, that's kind of one. I would say two with a pause. Because they went, what, 10 years without winning anything. But they won. Like, you don't have that dip. Sometimes you'll have a team that wins, and then there's this dip.

772.942 - 785.684 Mike Tirico

And then they come back, win again. I would say Patriots definitely a dynasty. Yeah, Dale. Do you want to know what the longest continuous dynasty in history is? Ming. The Ming Dynasty.

785.704 - 786.826 Dan Patrick

Yeah, they were on a run, man.

787.027 - 810.676 Mike Tirico

Yao Ming Dynasty. They're up there, but it's actually the Imperial House of Japan, the Yamato Dynasty. Longest continuous by blood dynasty, over 1,500 years. See the Patriots touch that one. And how many years were they favored, though? I think most of those years. Yeah, it sounds like that. I saw where the Arizona Cardinals aren't favored in any game this year. That's a left turn. Segway.

Chapter 3: How does Mike Tirico view the current NBA playoffs?

834.915 - 841.824 Mike Tirico

Like you said about the late 90s Yankees, you had Posada, Bernie Williams, Jeter, the big four or five guys stuck around.

0

842.285 - 849.615 Marv Albert

And the other one is lasting impact. Are they remembered? Like the mid-70s Steelers. You know all the names, and they last forever.

0

851.718 - 874.371 Mike Tirico

Yeah, I think like the Pistons, we remember them. They're the bad boy Pistons. They won two titles. The Celtics with Bird, obviously you remember them. Lakers with Magic, Showtime, you remember them. And you might not even remember how many titles they won or how many titles they won in a row, but you do remember those teams.

0

875.093 - 899.197 Mike Tirico

Sometimes it was about what they showed you right in front of you on your TV, not necessarily what the end result for each season was. But yeah, it's an interesting topic of is OKC bordering on, are they on the brink of being a dynasty if they win a second title? Yes, Dylan. Is it the repeat nature of titles that's a bigger factor?

0

899.217 - 923.95 Mike Tirico

Like if you win like every other year for six years, while there's no repeats or three-peats or anything, does that still feel like a dynasty? I mean, it should be, but. Well, it depends on the sport. Like Seattle's not favored to win the Super Bowl this year. They got maybe the third or fourth best odds. But if they did, I mean, that's really, really, really rare. Yeah, Paulie.

923.97 - 938.334 Mike Tirico

The 70 Steelers won the Super Bowl in 74 and 75. They made the playoffs and did not make it to the Super Bowl the next two years. Then they won two more Super Bowls. That's four titles in six years. Pure dynasty. Yeah. Yeah, and we remember those players.

938.574 - 949.308 Mike Tirico

When you can recite the lineup, then that usually helps you kind of lean towards that impression, that imprint that they left on your life, on the sports world. Yes, Marvin.

949.569 - 968.231 Marv Albert

And there's sometimes when people say dynasties, you have to repeat. I don't subscribe to that because look at the Bird Celtics. They won in 81, 84, and 86. But we consider them a dynasty because they were always there. They were always in the hunt. And the teams they lost to, they lost to the Lakers. So there's no shame in that, and they were always competitive.

968.251 - 988.562 Mike Tirico

Yeah, I think that's what I want to see is you don't want to have that, oh, what happened? Oh, they didn't make the playoffs that one season, then they came back. But it's harder to keep a team together. I mean, the Celtics weren't leaving with Bill Russell and Red Auerbach. Those guys stayed. There was no free agency. The Steelers, they stayed together.

Chapter 4: What defines a sports dynasty in modern terms?

1151.613 - 1177.848 Mike Tirico

Timmy was just, when your nickname is the big fundamental, I mean, it's really hard to go, man, must see TV. Hey, let's tune in and watch nice bounce pass or maybe a bank shot here. But they forced you to watch, which is what OK is doing. You got to watch because they're playing in big games. Mike Tirico will be on the call tonight's game six. He'll join us next year. Dan Patrick show.

Number one hits, millions of records sold, awards, sold-out tours. You think the Jonas Brothers are satisfied? Nope. It's podcast time. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Hey, Jonas is available now, and their first guest is a big one, Paul Rudd.

Chapter 5: How does the Thunder compare to historical dynasties?

1255.261 - 1265.69 Mike Tirico

You know, Steve Carell is a great singer. Can you tell you not to audition at the office or something? I told him. Whoa. We were filming Anchorman. Clearly, I was the idiot. Thank God he didn't listen to me, right?

Keith Giamonca seemed like a mild-mannered suburban dad.

1307.194 - 1313.261 Mike Tirico

But secretly, he became someone else. A master of disguise who went on a crime spree.

1314.262 - 1336.572 Unknown

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.

1337.794 - 1344.803 Mike Tirico

Every family has its secrets, but what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life?

1344.968 - 1375.504 Unknown

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 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.

Chapter 6: What makes the OKC Thunder a unique team in the NBA?

2014.492 - 2035.674 Mike Tirico

Yeah. I'm old enough. I don't remember all of it. But so Marv, Marv Albert was the radio announcer for the Knicks. And they put out a record that was one of those round things you put on a record player. For those of you who didn't get the retro trend when it came around a few years ago, they put out a record of the Knicks championship season.

0

2036.174 - 2057.755 Mike Tirico

And I must have listened to that when I was seven, eight, nine years old as I was falling in love with sports and broadcasting. So I remember it, but I can't tell you I saw Willis come out of the tunnel. But I remember what that feeling was like as a Knicks fan at that time. How do you sum up, describe, encapsulate what's happened with the Knicks this year? Well, I...

0

2057.735 - 2079.808 Mike Tirico

Haven't they been given the championship? I've been watching. I watched ESPN the morning after the Dixwell Eastern Conference final, and the stage manager's waving Knicks flags. I'm like, what the heck? Slow down. Slow down. They have been unbelievable. And we had them seven, eight times this year, and then we had them after their last playoff loss against Atlanta.

0

2080.329 - 2099.959 Mike Tirico

And Mike Brown did a terrific job, I thought, of... Tweaking the offense. Carl Anthony Towns is a point forward. It's unlocked everybody. We rarely see all five guys going at the same time. And right now they're all going. I will say the defense that they're about to face from either one of these teams is a massive step up from the defense they saw.

0

2099.939 - 2120.045 Mike Tirico

Did you see any Cleveland Cavalier turn a guard a different way coming up the floor? Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart, they just had free reign to come down the floor. So I think it's going to be another step up. But what they're doing is great, and it's really good when a city loves basketball the way New York does to see that kind of basketball played.

2120.525 - 2141.219 Mike Tirico

What it does remind me of, Dan, is watching and listening to stories about how the 70s Knicks played together, shared the ball, guys had their role and embraced it. And that's why they're a forever team remembered in New York. And I think this team does that and embodies basketball at its purest, rich best of enjoyment, movement and teamwork.

2141.68 - 2162.935 Mike Tirico

I was talking to Vincent Goodwill, great NBA reporter for the Mothership. And I said, you got to win the title. Yeah, this is New York. And he said, no, this is the Knicks. They're not used to getting here. So he was saying, you know, this is kind of a if we get you know, we're going to get to the finals. Even if we don't win, we've had a successful year. I said, you've had a successful year.

2163.416 - 2185.147 Mike Tirico

Yes. But this is a city that is predicated on winning, not getting there. Correct, correct. I mean, unless you get the parade in the Hero of Canyons, you're not remembered as a forever team. If you do, then you become a special team in the biggest city that has millions and millions of sports followers who revere those guys.

2185.508 - 2201.224 Mike Tirico

Walt Clyde Frazier is revered at 81 years old when you're a Madison Square Garden. I love seeing Clyde. When I see Clyde, when we're doing a game and it's a side-by-side, or Clyde happens to be in the building, I want to go say hi because Clyde is still... coolest dang guy, this side of Joe Namath, right?

Chapter 7: Which athletes from this era will be remembered like legends?
