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.
I'm Michelle McPhee, and I've been unraveling the strangest criminal alliance I've ever reported on. A Mormon polygamist and an Armenian businessman.
Multi-million dollar house, Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, a billion dollar fraud.
But how long can this alliance last? Tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me?

Chapter 2: What are the implications of Aaron Rodgers' return to the NFL?
Yeah. All right, here we go. This one's a little more Todd-ish in terms of the longevity. How do you feel about Aaron Rodgers announcing this will be his last year? Glad, dot, dot, dot, it's about time to call it a career. He should have already retired, or I was hopeful he'd stick around at least two more seasons, dot, dot, dot, bummer. He said with sarcasm. Yeah, yeah.
Feels like you're kind of happy to see him go, Todd.
I think it's time to wrap it up. It's okay that he's doing one more year, but I think it's cute for someone that doesn't want any attention that he's letting everybody know it's one more year so he can get all the flowers and do the whole victory tour as he goes to each city and stadium for this season.
Someone that doesn't want any attention and hates when people talk about him. Well, who says that he doesn't like attention?
I think he would be the first one to reply. He thinks that he doesn't like attention. He doesn't understand why everyone's so fascinated by him.
Well, if he doesn't realize that, then I would be shocked that he doesn't understand why people would be interested in who he's dating since he's dated a lot of famous people. He's got a wife that nobody has seen, and he's been kind of this mystery, which adds to the we want to know more about you. Yes, Paulie.
It does feel that if you don't like Aaron Rodgers for whatever reason, no matter what he does, you don't like it. Like before, he was holding the Steelers hostage and giving nobody any information.
Now he's completely giving the Steelers a heads up that this is it and letting them make their plans for this season and the offseason, and that's also critiquable.
Here is Aaron Rodgers on the moment he decided to come back this season.

Chapter 3: How does Aaron Rodgers' age affect his performance this season?
But if I'm a Steeler fan, I'm like, okay, here we go again. Like, what's the ceiling? 10-7? Maybe first-round playoff game? Maybe you win a game? You haven't won one in 10 years? And Rodgers had respectable numbers. He didn't get sacked. I think he got sacked less than 30 times last year. That's pretty good, maybe middle of the pack with the NFL.
The Steelers have the ninth-hardest schedule in the NFL in one of the tougher divisions as well. So I think I would be looking at this if he can survive an entire season. 17 games, his age, tough schedule. You expect the Ravens to be better, the Bengals to be better, Cleveland might get better. And I just don't know how formidable Pittsburgh is.
It used to be that defense and a running game and a complimentary passing game. But here we are one more year, and you're kicking the can down the road one more year, and Nothing's really going to be – you know, next year at this time, they're going to be trading. T.J. Watt get traded, and then you try to move up in the draft.
Like, is there going to be a desperate move for the Steelers coming up next year? Unless you think Will Howard or Drew Eller have the potential, and maybe they do. But maybe they're just career backups. Maybe they're Mason Rudolph. Yes, Dylan. It feels like it's very contingent on how this season goes. There's nothing definitive, rarely, about what Aaron Rodgers does.
So I think he's maybe hedging his bets a little bit, getting out in front of being like, this is my last season. But if the Steelers make it to the AFC Championship game... I could see him feeling like, you know what, we're close, we're going to run it back one more year. Okay, but how many times have we heard an athlete say, oh, I can't go out like this? So how can Aaron Rodgers go out?
If they make the playoffs, they play well, and they lose their first game, or maybe they make it to the second round. But then you say, God, we made it to the second round, and Mike did a great job coaching, and I don't know, I felt pretty good about this. Is there a scenario where you go,

Chapter 4: What challenges does the Pittsburgh Steelers face with Rodgers this year?
I could stick around. Or, yep, it's time to retire. Yeah, Paul. A little apples and oranges, but it reminds me of Brady's final year in Tampa. His second to last year in Tampa, 43 touchdowns, 12 picks, 5,300 yards, all pro.
I mean, he had one of the best seasons of his career. Then you thought he was going to wrap it. He got the Super Bowl. He had everything. And he played that one final season at age 45.
He was 8-9 as a starter, 25 touchdowns, 9 picks. Not awful, but not Tom Brady anymore. But if you think about the AFC, teams better than Pittsburgh. Bills, Ravens, Broncos, Chiefs, Chargers, Jags, Patriots, Bengals. So you got to, I mean, there's a lot of competition. Texas, you probably put in there as well. But I don't know what the goal is. Like, what is a legitimate goal for the Steelers?
Do they really think they could win a Super Bowl? I mean, outwardly they'd say that, but privately, you're not winning a Super Bowl. But are you going to be competitive? You're not developing any younger talent here, which would be a problem for me. I've got to think about next year and the year after that, not let's get caught up in a farewell tour for Aaron Rodgers.
But that's what this is going to be, a farewell tour for Aaron Rodgers. I'm glad he's back, good content, and he still plays at a high level. But I think trying to survive a 17-game schedule for any quarterback – But you're 42 years of age. Yes, Marvin.
I'm all right with the Steelers doing this only because it's the best option at quarterback that they have. You're not going to throw Drew Aller or Will Howard in there. And Pittsburgh, they're not known for tanking. They're still trying to win no matter who's out there on the field.
Okay, but this is the best option because they've made it the best option. They didn't really go out and tempt moving up in the draft. I mean, you can move on from Aaron Rodgers. And maybe you're not a great team. And maybe you get a better draft pick. Or maybe you trade into getting a better draft pick. And then you set yourself up for the next seven years.
That's the part I keep bringing up is you're kind of kicking the can down the road. Yes, Marv.
But there was no quarterbacks in this draft that was setting the world on fire.

Chapter 5: What insights does Isiah Thomas provide about modern basketball?
I'm glad Rodgers is playing. I just don't know if it matters in the bigger picture here. Let's see. Harold in South Carolina. Hi, Harold. What's on your mind today?
Good morning, Mr. Patrick. Tonight is the last airing of the Stephen Colbert Show. I want to get your impressions of what it's like to be a guest on his show. Have a great holiday weekend, gentlemen.
Well, I was never on the Stephen Colbert show. That sums that up. Can't really help you there, Harold. But Colbert, when you go back to when he was doing the, what was the Colbert report? You know, the Daily Show, he's very funny. But no, never on there. I was never on with Conan O'Brien on his show either. But yeah, Paulie.
We've had Colbert on this show, I think six or, no, like a decade ago, he was doing something with the Winter Olympics. He was a guest on our show. He's funny. Yeah.
But he didn't go, hey, I should have you on my show. It didn't really reciprocate. Yeah, Paul. I was once in New York City getting out of the train on a rainy night by Grand Central Station. And I'm walking down an alley kind of area in New York City. And on the corner, it's pouring rain.
And I see a guy under like an awning with a trench coat on, like an old-time fedora hat, and a big cigar. And it looked like a black-and-white movie. And I looked, and I'm like, I know that guy. I looked again. It was Stephen Colbert. He saw me recognize him, and he looks up, he goes, yes, it's me.
I just kept walking. My Golden Knights over the Abs last night. They're up 1-0 in the series. Canadians Hurricanes game one coming up tonight. And the Cavaliers at the Knicks. The Knicks favored by six and a half.

Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, Nate? 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.

Chapter 7: What are the differences between coaching styles in the NBA?
We don't care where you hear it. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the Enhanced Games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.
Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.

Chapter 8: How does the current NBA compare to the league during Isiah Thomas' era?
When's the last time you played basketball? Oh...
it's been a long time ago but i but i still shoot right i still go out and uh i'll shoot free throws i'll just go in the gym and like just get some shots up but in terms of like physically like competing and playing um that's been a long time is there anybody who's over 50 who's still a great basketball player that played in the nba in your opinion and in our minds all of us are
We all still think we can do it and get out there and play, but I would say probably, is Reggie 50 yet? Reggie Miller? Yes. I would say he's still in condition, physically fit, can go out and get up and down the court. Probably not as fast, but can play. He said he thinks he could give somebody about 10 minutes because he can still shoot. Absolutely.
In today's game, he would get more than 10 minutes. You know, because in today's game, you know, you got one-way players, right? Back when we were playing, you had to be a two-way player. Right now, he can just be a specialist, stand out on the court and play 15, 20 minutes. And if someone scored 20 points on him, it won't be a big deal. Reggie's 60. I just saw. Reggie's 60.
Yeah, so I would say he probably more than anyone can, I think, in all age bracket could still get out there and play. Not with the NBA, but, you know, just, you know, hold his own. Could the Jordan rules work now in today's NBA, let's say, against Wembenyama or SGA? We actually see San Antonio doing that with SGA.
You know, right now the new name for it is Boxes and Elbows, where you see where SGA likes to shoot from mid-range. They have a double team trap set up for him at the elbow. So if he goes right, he's forced into a double team. If he goes left, he's forced into a double team. On the back line, they keep Wimby as a rim protector.
And then they have a smaller player in rotation shooting out to the corners. That's why you see those corner threes right now that OKC is knocking down. Those are the ones that they're giving up because they're taking the elbow shots or the mid-range shots away from SGA. So those... You know, it's similar to what we did with Jordan. You know, we would force Jordan left, trap him going left.
SGA is more of a passer than Jordan was at that particular time. Jordan was what we called a reluctant passer. He would actually take on the double team, right? as a challenge and try to score over the double team as opposed to kicking it out. And when Phil Jackson came along, put him in a triangle and put those snipers around him, that's when everything changed.
Have you seen anything resembling Wim Bin Young before? I would say Ralph Sampson, early, early Ralph Sampson, you know, his first three years in the NBA. I believe he was in the NBA finals his third year, third or fourth years in the NBA finals playing against the Celtics. Upset the Laker dynasty. Remember, they swept the Lakers.
