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.

22.092 - 37.711 Jonas Brothers

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.

You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio. Hour two on this Tuesday. Dan and the Danettes, Dan Patrick Show, best and worst of the weekend. What you saw that you liked, you didn't like. If you'd like to be part of the program, stat of the day is always brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of the Cavaliers' playoff failure for LeBron James?

468.336 - 497.88 Dan Patrick

Yeah, why not? 877-3DP-SHOW. Operator Tyler sitting by. He'll take your phone calls. So, Reggie, you'll join us next hour. You got Spurs at the Thunder. Avalanche at my Golden Knights. Game four. Hurricanes over the Canadians in overtime. So it was a busy weekend. I watched both men's and women's lacrosse championships, one on Sunday, one on Monday. I watched the entire game, the entire match.

0

497.86 - 519.008 Dan Patrick

Northwestern ended up beating North Carolina, the women's lacrosse championship. A little bit of a surprise. That was a home win for Northwestern. And then Princeton dominated Notre Dame yesterday. It was fun. And it's one of those, watch some of the Indy 500, of course, a photo finish there.

0

518.988 - 532.997 Dan Patrick

You had sort of, I watched some golf, kind of those peripheral sports, and you're like, all right, got a chance. I locked in on lacrosse. I'm like, all right, I'm enjoying this. As for the Indy 500, this is how it sounded.

0

534.361 - 568.322 Unknown

teammates battle side by side but out front the young american chasing his first win on turn two david malukas goes to defend the msr driver still side by side the will that play into malukas's hands and here comes pato award malukas is out in front Side by side behind. It's not over yet. It's not over yet. But Lucas has to defend from Rosenquist. Great run off the final corner.

0

568.342 - 573.689 Unknown

Here comes Rosenquist. But Lucas defends. Who has it? Over the line. Who's it going to be? It's Rosenquist. It's Rosenquist. Oh, my goodness.

573.709 - 605.425 Dan Patrick

Wow. Imagine driving 500 miles and you lose by less than a second. 500, and you lose by a second. Felix Rosenquist ends up winning it. And these guys are going over 200 miles an hour, and they're like jockeying for position. That is a fascinating finish there. All right, let's see. A couple of phone calls in here. Johans in Atlanta. Johans? Johans?

606.856 - 619.733 Jonas Brothers

Hey, Dan, thank you so much for taking my call, man. I love the show. Been listening forever, man. Thank you so much. It's Johanse, just like Beyonce. Oh, okay. Yes, sir. I got two simple questions.

Chapter 3: How did the Knicks achieve a historic postseason performance?

619.753 - 639.487 Jonas Brothers

That's it. So these players, man, they want to get paid hundreds of millions of dollars. They want to be a floor general. They want to be the man, but they can't call a timeout. Why is the responsibility of a timeout only on the coach? I mean, you watch your team go from 20 up to single digits. And players, are they not on the court or something?

0

639.528 - 658.986 Jonas Brothers

Why can't the players be held responsible for calling the timeout? And my second question, I love the WNBA. I'm watching Cameron Brink of the LA Sparks, and she just took a shot to the grill this weekend. She was bleeding like a UFC prize fighter. Didn't fall to the ground. Didn't even want to come out of the game. No foul was called.

0

658.966 - 681.674 Jonas Brothers

SGA looks like a flopping simp with these phantom touches and falls to the ground. If it's really so physical, how come he never falls to the ground on defense? And what else? Yeah, unless you want to show me undercover tape of an owner saying they're taking the season, you can't definitively prove taking. And you set up a whole task force. to do something about it.

0

682.095 - 696.334 Jonas Brothers

Hello, NBA, Adam Silver, are you deaf, dumb, and blind? Do something. This product is disgusting. It doesn't even have to be anything major. Why can't they just allow a technical file to be reviewed and if it's deemed to be a definitive flop, it's your technical fault.

0

697.155 - 701.281 Dan Patrick

All right. That's Yohanse, like Beyonce in Atlanta.

Chapter 4: What does the Stat of the Day reveal about playoff performance?

703.283 - 733.362 Dan Patrick

Can you call a technical on somebody who is flopping? I think that's what he's trying to say. Now, I could call a foul on them, but I can't call a technical on them. Yeah, Cameron Brink, she got busted in the nose, still out there. There's a lot of physicality. They let it go in the WNBA. Woo, man. I grow tired of seeing Caitlin Clark complain every time. It's like a Luca.

0

734.543 - 758.131 Dan Patrick

There's going to be contact. You're a marked person. They have to be physical with you. They have to body you. They have to get close to you. They can't give you a step because you're going to hit that. But I'm watching, and it feels like every time down the floor she's looking, pleading. You've got to play. You know? They're coming after you.

0

758.532 - 762.817 Dan Patrick

And the more you complain, the more they're going to come after you. Yes, Marvin.

0

763.457 - 782.899 Jonas Brothers

When Kaitlin Clark first got to the WNBA and people were complaining about the physicality, that just screamed all you people just started watching five minutes ago because it's been like this. And working plenty of WNBA games, all-star games, finals, and all that, that's exactly how they play. You're just seeing it because everyone else is seeing it now. But it's been that way.

0

782.879 - 811.89 Dan Patrick

I know everybody's an expert on the WNBA because they started watching when Kaitlyn Clark came in the WNBA. There is physicality there. I don't find the flopping with the WNBA like I do with the NBA. I mean, Kaitlyn Clark's going to try to draw a foul, or she's pleading for a foul, and they are physical with her. Make no mistake about that. But it's been physical prior to her arrival. Yes, Dylan.

811.988 - 826.32 Jonas Brothers

It is sort of reminiscent of the women's national team in soccer versus the men's, where it seemed to be a tougher product there for a while, where there's a lot less of that. Flopping's not really a thing as much, where obviously in men's pro soccer, it's a massive thing.

826.621 - 855.186 Dan Patrick

Yeah. The same with what we're seeing in the NBA with SGA. We hate seeing the best player get away with some things that seem to be beneath him. But until this is on the NBA... Because the player will plead, but he's not the one who's got a whistle. If you don't like it, then... Let the officials know together, let's stop calling this. Let's stop allowing this.

855.426 - 877.315 Jonas Brothers

Yes, Paulie. There was a play from the other day with SGA pulling up for a little two-pointer. And De'Aaron Fox, he doesn't even graze him. He just goes in his airspace and then backs off. And they called the foul for not letting him land. And SGA flops to the ground as if he's been bumped hard. And it got 10 million views. And for people who don't even watch a sport, it was frustrating to them.

877.447 - 893.616 Dan Patrick

Yeah, and I get it when you go up and you should be able to come down and have space when you land. De'Aaron Fox probably was crowding him just a little bit too much. There was no contact to make you fall, but he did flop and then sold it.

Chapter 5: Is there a possibility of LeBron returning to the Cavaliers?

894.743 - 896.245 Dan Patrick

Yes, Dylan.

0

896.265 - 908.519 Jonas Brothers

And Brunson does that too. There was the play the other day where he basically, he could tell that he could jump into Harden, which ironically it was Harden, but he was not taking a real shot, just looking for the foul.

0

908.539 - 920.814 Jonas Brothers

And I know you say the refs in the league allow them to do it, so they're exploiting an open loophole, but there should be a little bit of onus on them to not just completely drag the entire game down with flopping.

0

921.795 - 954.484 Dan Patrick

My goal is to beat you. That's it. My goal is to win. This is like a legal loophole for a lawyer. Do I like it? No. I didn't grow up with that. But do I understand it? Yes. How long did we spend on Duke basketball, all the flopping that they did? It's as if they invented that. There was a class you could take at Duke on flopping. And some were summa cum laude. Yes, Todd.

0

954.751 - 968.374 Jonas Brothers

So what can they do, the league, as far as with the refs? Train them better to notice flopping? They're already heavily trained. I know some are part-time workers in different sports as far as being a ref, but do they just have to watch out for that even closer than they are?

968.535 - 993.329 Dan Patrick

Yeah. All you've got to do is look at the film and say, this is what he does. This is what James Harden used to do. This is what Trey Young used to do. I mean, John Stockton used to set picks like that. Like, if you want to call it, you can call it. But you have to, A, know what you're looking for, and then be willing to either call it or not call it. SGA, this is what he does.

994.311 - 1014.897 Dan Patrick

He went from a 24-point score to 32, 33 points. He shoots a lot of free throws. He got two MVPs. He's got a title. Why would he quit now? Like, man, I got away with this. Maybe I can stop here. Yes, Dylan.

1015.501 - 1030.566 Jonas Brothers

But to use sort of that business analogy, it's like when a massive corporation takes advantage of a tax loophole and is like, we paid $0 in taxes last year. That's, well, technically within the framework that is allowed, you're like, well, that still sucks.

Chapter 6: What are the criticisms of James Harden's postseason performance?

1030.587 - 1060.53 Dan Patrick

It does. No, it does. I don't like seeing SGA. I think he's too good a player to need this. But I understand if they're going to give this to me. Do you think that Tony Gwynn or Wade Boggs or Rod Carew would go, you know, that was a strike? I'm just saying you're kind of giving me too many calls here at the plate. Or you're Greg Maddox and you go, that was out of the strike zone.

0

1060.57 - 1070.483 Dan Patrick

You shouldn't be giving me that. Nobody's doing that. Right? These guys made a career out of this that they got the call.

0

1071.644 - 1091.918 Jonas Brothers

Yes, Paul. So SGA needs a real nickname. The loophole can be in play. There is a rule, Dan. I looked this up the other day. Two years ago, the NBA has a rule that fouls should be called on shots that are in a natural shooting motion. And they shouldn't call things where you're twisting your body or jumping into people. But it doesn't seem like the refs are doing it.

0

1092.278 - 1093.701 Jonas Brothers

There is a rule in place, though.

0

1093.721 - 1093.821

Yeah.

1094.493 - 1099.663 Dan Patrick

All right, take a break. More phone calls coming up. 877-3DP-SHOW. We're back after this.

1100.565 - 1109.802 Jonas Brothers

Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick Show weekdays at 9 a.m. Eastern, 6 a.m. Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

1109.782 - 1132.769 Rob Parker

This is Rob Parker and I'm here with an important public service announcement. Whatever you do, do not listen to the Paulie and Tony Fusco show. Fox Sports Radio asked me to do a promo, but I'm here to do a no-mo. As in, don't listen to this show no-mo. The host of two fools from Philly who have the dumbest takes ever in all of sports talk.

1132.97 - 1150.369 Rob Parker

And you know, if I'm saying that, they must really be bad. I have no idea why Fox Sports Radio picked this up, but I know where to put it down. In the trash can. So please, don't listen to the Paulie and Tony Fusco show. No way, no how.

Chapter 7: How did the Indy 500 finish unfold in dramatic fashion?

1934.947 - 1938.771 Jonas Brothers

Great TV. Zach in Knoxville. Good morning, Zach. What do you have for me today?

0

1940.233 - 1963.879 Zach

Hey, Pete. Thanks for taking my call. I don't know what's worse, Kenny Atkinson saying he knows people don't want to hear it and then saying it or just not having the awareness at all. But what I wanted to ask you is, do you think the Cavs should, one, move on from him and, two, maybe let LeBron handpick the next coach like a Steve Nash to kind of placate towards him to get him to come back?

0

1966.019 - 1992.365 Dan Patrick

I'm not ready to pull the plug on Kenny Atkinson. I mean, I don't know enough about the situation to be flippant and say, oh, they need to move on from him. I think he's proven to be a very good coach. I just don't know the analytics. I wish somebody would have said, help me understand the analytics. So then it softens it a little bit. Instead of saying, we actually won two or three.

0

1992.425 - 2005.483 Dan Patrick

No, you didn't. You didn't win any of them. But to say, you know, the analytics show that we statistically were in position to win two of those three. Yes, Dylan.

0

2005.503 - 2012.274 Jonas Brothers

He won coach of the year last year, too, right? That would be quite the fall from grace in a short period of time if they canned him after this.

2012.294 - 2030.99 Dan Patrick

No, that's happened before. I remember George Carl in Denver got fired. There have been a few coaches that get coach of the year. Did Mike Budenholzer, did he... Get coach of the year and then get fired or win a title and then get fired? Yes, Marvin. Yes, coaches that win titles, they get fired the season after too.

2031.01 - 2041.251 Jonas Brothers

Mike Malone. Yeah, Paul. Mike Brown, Monty Williams, Tom Thibodeau, Nick Nurse, Mike Budenholzer all got fired after winning coach of the year at some point. Aiden in Utah.

2041.511 - 2042.533 Dan Patrick

Hi, Aiden. Welcome back.

2044.673 - 2061.237 Jonas Brothers

Hey, Dan. Yeah, good to have you guys back. Listen, I know, okay, he won't coach of the year. Between him saying James Harden is their best defender and analytically they're up 3-1, you got to boot that guy out of Cleveland.
