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.

Chapter 2: How has Jalen Brunson exceeded expectations with the Knicks?
So, yeah, and it's been a conversation. I would only say that there's a difference between selling a call, exaggeration, and a true flop, which is where you're actually fooling the referees. I think sometimes even as I... sit in the stands at games, players may be falling down, players may be reacting to a call.
But then to me, if they're not fooling the referees, it's like, okay, that's like the players are taught to sell calls these days. Can officiating get better? Of course. We're always working on that. Can officials get fooled occasionally? We're always looking at that as well. But the officiating is incredible. Okay.
It's still an issue. Still is. Yeah, Paul. It's how you take that line.
Yeah.
The officiating is incredible. Yeah. The officiating is incredible. What are they doing? Yeah. I'm sure it is like when they grade out these officials, it's a minus. But still, social media is what's stirring all of this up. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Well, the game is a lot more than that, obviously, but we tend to kind of narrow it down and go, that's why I don't watch the NBA.
I always liked those people. It was like people who would say, oh, I never listened to Howard Stern. I go, well, then how do you know about Howard Stern? Oh, I just know I wouldn't like him. Like, okay. I don't watch the NBA because of that. Well, how do you know about that? Unless you watch the NBA. A couple of phone calls here. Paul in Louisiana. Hi, Paul. What's on your mind today?
Hey, good morning, guys. I was just going to talk about the SEC, like the Louisiana oil thing. That's pretty much all we do over here besides tourism. I mean, you got your tourism in New Orleans. But, man, I don't know anybody that doesn't work for oil.
the oil companies or isn't affiliated with the oil company over here no yeah and i so i apologize to leave out louisiana when i was talking about sec schools that have oil because my source said if you're not tech money or oil money in college athletics certainly college football you're going to be left out louisiana certainly has that yes dylan
Shouldn't Pennsylvania schools and North Dakota schools have that natural gas money? I don't know. Maybe hedge fund money. Yeah, Columbia's team all of a sudden is... Yeah, yeah. Jake in Colorado. Hi, Jake. What's on your mind today? Hey DP, I really enjoyed the Joey Votto interview and the past ones you've had with him too.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Becky Hammond's comments on short players?
Yeah.
And there are just certain guys who are like, wow, this is someone that... John McEnroe, for me, because you see all the soundbites growing up of like, this guy seems like maybe he's a little surly guy, but then he's playing the guitar and singing in our New York City studio, and they're a lot more likable than maybe you thought they were going to be.
Yeah, but I've known John a long time. I knew John when he was playing. He didn't know me, but I knew him when he was playing. But to have those guys... That's the fun part, to introduce them to an audience that, you know, Patrick Ewing, you know, that one shocked me. But, you know, I think that's where he was unfairly labeled.
And I thought a lot of people were guilty of mislabeling Patrick Ewing. Now, he probably went into a shell and like, I'm not going to share anything. Iverson when he came on. He was great. You're telling stories. Bo Jackson. I mean, I interviewed Bo the night he won his Heisman. Randy Johnson's another one where you go, damn, unit's funny.
There's certain guys that appear prickly, and then you go, man, I just want you telling stories. I value your time if you're watching or you're in your car, whatever you might be doing. that were giving you content that you can tell somebody else about. Or it just enlightens you with whatever the topic might be. Yeah, Paul?
Once in a while we have someone and we get almost like a warning from a publicist or Fritzie gets a heads up that this person might be difficult. One of those was the actor Billy Bob Thornton. About 10 years ago, he had just done an interview where he hung up on someone in Canada or something. And we had him in studio to promote a movie. He came in. He was nice to everybody.
Super fun, engaging, told stories, said hi to everybody, took pictures. He was great.
Keanu Reeves. I had no idea who he was. I mean, I knew who he was. He had, I don't know, no track record. Basically came in. He had one PR person with him, and he was promoting, I think, Ronin 47, some samurai movie. He looked 35. He was 50-something. And he sat down, and he let us ask all the stupid questions. Point Break, Bill and Ted, all of that.
I mean, he even did I am an FBI agent, you know? Yes, Marvin. Derrick Henry's another guy for me because you just see him on the football field and then look how a relationship started with him just complimenting your hoodie. Yeah. With you and us, Sandler. Yes, Dylan. Yeah, Keanu Reeves might be one of the guys who benefits the most from the lore around him.

Chapter 4: What is Adam Silver's stance on flopping in the NBA?
And Harden is a first ballot Hall of Famer. He's a great player. Can I have a problem with how he is a great player? Yes, I can. LeBron flops. I talk about Luka complaining to the officials way too much. So we do talk about these things. Yes, yes, Paulie. Marvin said this the other day.
SGA and some other players, he's not the only one, they jump into fouls not even looking for the shot afterwards, where it's just jumping into a foul. So that's their only purpose. It doesn't look in any way like a normal basketball shot. And that's what the ref's got to stop calling it.
Yeah, that's all I want them to do is make sure that these are legitimate. And when you go back and look at it, if I'm officiating, I'm just going to use, you know, reasoning here. Let's say I'm doing OKC against San Antonio. I want to know, is somebody getting away with something? Is there an appearance of somebody baiting a defender or trying to fool an official?
I'm going to focus on those things because I want to know. I've got to call the game correctly. You know SGA does this, right? We know it. you have to pick those moments where you're going to play on. There will be moments that are true fouls because he has the ball. He goes to the basket more than any other player. He's going to draw contact.
I don't have any problem if a player is trying to draw contact. You may not like it, but until you stop calling it, he's going to continue to do it. Yes, Marvin.
We haven't mentioned his name, but we normally do. Michael Jordan, maybe you've heard of him. He would live at the free throw line sometimes to get you off your game and draw fouls. But what made him so special was he would draw the foul and then get the basket. So it's not like he was just drawing the foul, initiating contact, and going right to the line. He was trying to get the end one.
Gabe in North Carolina. Hi, Gabe. What do you have for me today? Hey, good morning, guys. Long time, third time.
I wanted to call and offer my assistance in the Spanish transition of the show from Peacock to Univision.
There's two important parts of your show I think you and the DNS need to get practiced at, and I want you to give me some grace here because I actually did Google Translate this. One of the important parts of your show happens to be tomorrow, Meat Friday, Viernes de Carne. And when you quote the great Senor Harbaugh, you're going to have to say, ¿Quién le pasa mejor que nosotros? ¡Nosotros!

Chapter 5: How does social media influence discussions about NBA officiating?
then they get naked so afraid and naked i think is way better and you know i love you dan i love you so much and i'm gonna miss you whenever you do go you deserve you thank you nick thank you and it's usually the people who shouldn't be naked who were naked anyway you know you notice that yeah dylan hopefully it's in a warm balmy jungle and not somewhere cold yes paul
I was once adjacent to a nude beach in Italy, and I thought it would be like the movies, you know, like everyone would look like Sophia Loren.
It was not. I was in Nice and Central Pei, and I remember I was there with my family, and all of a sudden I saw somebody come by naked. And, you know, I'm trying to have a conversation with my wife, of course. And my son goes in the water. I don't know how old he is, maybe 12. This woman is behind him, topless. And so he turned around and ran right into him. And he was apologizing profusely.
He's like, Dad, I didn't do that on purpose. I'm so sorry. I said, dude, as long as mom doesn't say anything, I'm not going to say anything. And then we laughed about it later. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. But that's where there was a beautiful woman, topless in Saint-Tropez.
Rest of the weekend.
Oh, okay. Thank you, Todd. Yes. Yeah, I accidentally went to a nude beach in, was it Cape Cod? Yeah. Or Martha's Vineyard. Martha's Vineyard. Okay. That's a quick answer. I know that beach. So my wife and I are just walking, and all of a sudden we come up over this hill, sand dune. Next thing I know, this guy is carrying a rocket, And I go, wait a minute, what is going on here?
He had a rocket launcher with him, and I was like, we should go, hon. And then she said, wait a minute. Yes, Dylan. Yeah, in my experience at Nude Beaches, which is fairly limited, it resembles more of like a gym locker room than what you would want it to be. It's a lot of old dudes. Yeah, yeah.
It's kind of like the scene in Rocky where he goes in and he's hitting the carcasses, you know, the meat carcasses. You see a lot of pasty white people. I saw there was another nude beach in the British Virgin Islands. St. Martin's, maybe? And we were right on the edge. We didn't realize it. We plopped down with our beach towel and, you know, here I am.
Next thing you know, I got dangling participles walking by, and I'm going, what is going on? Good grammar. Yes, thank you. Okay, how about we take a break? Last call for phone call. Todd, are you doing the Toddcast today? We are doing the Toddcast next week. Wait, I thought we're doing it each week.
