This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. You know, Steve Carell is a great singer. Can you tell you not to audition for 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? Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, it's Alec Baldwin.

This season on my podcast, Here's the Thing, I talk to composer Mark Shaman. It's about the hang. It's the pleasure of hanging out with the people that you're with. You know, Rob and I was always a great hang. And director Morgan Neville. Film school teaches you all the wrong things about making documentary. What do you want to say?

159.027 - 188.443 Unknown

LeBron may be fueling up his private jet ready to fly to the Bay Area. Oh, the World Cup is getting close. I can smell it. I can feel it. German team in town having dinner last night. RPM steak. Getting ready for the friendly tomorrow against the United States men's national team. Our show will be well represented. Good to have you in on a Friday. So, the New York Knicks...

189.487 - 214.279 Unknown

are probably the most likable, great, or potentially great New York team ever. The Yankees were very polarizing. People were more into the Brady Patriots than Eli's Giants. They were underdogs. Could the Patriots go undefeated? It's kind of fascinating. It's a likable team. It's likable guys. And the Knicks also, and this feels unexplainable,

214.968 - 246.179 Unknown

If you go to the first 15 games of the playoffs, they are not only the greatest team ever in point differential, by a mile. And the teams they're much better than include the 2017 KD Warriors, arguably the best team ever. The 96 Bulls, probably Michael Jordan's best team ever. The 87 Lakers, probably the best Magic Johnson team ever. The 86 Celtics, arguably the best Larry Bird team ever.

Chapter 2: What insights does Colin provide about the Knicks' historic playoff run?

684.007 - 700.236 Unknown

For what you should expect from a guy who's 41 years old, he's not going to play 82 games and they needed Luka Doncic. I don't think it's the craziest thing that he ends up on the Golden State Warriors. It makes a lot of sense for a lot of reasons. Obviously, the relationships, whether or not it's going to work, is still really good. And you have Minnesota.

0

700.256 - 720.067 Unknown

It's not going to be easy in the West, but it makes a lot of sense. And it's certainly a move I could see LeBron James making. Listen, in the history of the NBA, San Antonio, if they won the title, would be a complete outlier because they're really young. There have been teams that have been a little long in the tooth.

0

720.508 - 748.156 Unknown

Remember that Warrior team that beat the Celtics a couple years ago for the last title? They're a little old. We thought they were too old. Too old can have some playoff success. Too young almost never wins a title. And I'm not saying it's a title team, but it's a squad. If that team won 48 games, 49, 50 games, and was a five seed... Four seed, you'd be shocked. They're not Oklahoma City.

0

748.176 - 778.545 Unknown

They're not San Antonio. I don't know. Do you trust Houston? Do you not? I mean, Denver's got Jokic and, you know, do you trust Denver? I mean, J-Mac, you and I, we like the NBA. When I put that picture up of Steph, Butler, LeBron, Pods, Remember, this is the best draft maybe in a decade. You're going to get at least a high-end rotational player out of this draft. Adai Mara.

0

779.69 - 795.194 Unknown

I think you're onto something. I just wonder, are they going to have to push back to start or push up the start times, right? Because these old people, you know, they get dinner at like 4.30 in the afternoon. They got to go to Red Lobster for the early bird special. Colin, this is just an ancient lineup full of fossils.

795.775 - 817.613 Unknown

I do like the idea, but I'm wondering if these stories are coming out because LeBron needs leverage with the Lakers. Well, I think LeBron wants to remain with the Lakers, but you and I have said this. He's too good. I mean, Tom Brady retired. He retired because the Bucs were 8-9 and not remotely viable for a Super Bowl.

818.214 - 840.071 Unknown

You can talk yourself into this team thinking if they went into the playoffs and Butler is recuperated, I mean... They were the oldest team in the NBA last season. So LeBron's not making them younger, but they're also going to get two draft picks. Or maybe they use two to get one and get a better player. But they're going to have a rookie somewhere in the rotation.

840.091 - 852.374 Unknown

Okay, so hypothetically, they're not better than the Thunder. They're not better than the Spurs. Are they better than the Wolves? I think it would be an interesting series. I mean, the Wolves were real. They were real.

852.515 - 854.217 Mike Braun

Yeah. Are they better than the Nuggets?

Chapter 3: How does Colin analyze the Knicks' performance compared to historical teams?

895.149 - 914.472 Unknown

Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. He averages over 20, and he's still one of the best passers in the sport. Yeah. By the way, that would be the best golfing basketball team in the NBA. I know you're a big golfer, but Steph Curry's awesome. LeBron, all he's posting on Instagram is golf stuff. I know Draymond's trying to play, but he can't. Yeah, listen, I don't know.

914.633 - 944.318 Unknown

By the way, are we going to do any golf coverage of your swing? America doesn't care. They care about the World Cup. Coming up next... Yeah, I know, you don't want to hear it, but Jalen Brunson's got a little Sam Darnold to him. And is Nick Saban just being a big hypocrite? It's The Herd.

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. You know, Steve Carell is a great singer. Can he 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?

Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Mainstream media is full of cruel depictions of the unhoused, stories that shame and blame and paint the unhoused as a monolith. We The Unhoused is the podcast that's changing that.

1024.379 - 1047.489 Unknown

I'm Theo Henderson, creator and host, and for years I've created a space where the unhoused and their advocates can tell their own stories. In the last few months alone, I've interviewed unhoused parents, immigrants, mutual aid organizers, veterans, the LGBTQTIA plus community, and the policymakers who make the laws that impact the unhoused existence.

Chapter 4: What factors contribute to the Knicks' current success?

1392.526 - 1413.664 Unknown

I'll come off the ball. Harden wouldn't. Melo wouldn't come off the bench. Melo wouldn't come off the ball. He'll do whatever it takes. He's a winning player. And his ability to say, I'm going to take a little less because I want us to go out and get guys like OG. That's why they're here. That's why they're red hot. I think that seeps through an organization. I'll come off ball.

0

1413.984 - 1419.795 Unknown

I'll take a little less. I think that's very football-ish in America. Here's Mike Brown on Brunson.

0

1421.007 - 1440.332 Mike Brown

He's a gamer, man. He, you know, in the biggest moments, you know, he shows up. And that's what MVPs are supposed to do. We put the ball in his hands. We said we were going to live and die with him. And he went and he got it done for us. And that's happened time after time after time after time. He got to his spots and he made plays.

1442.017 - 1462.778 Unknown

We got good stuff today, J-Mac. It's a Friday. It used to be, oh, you're in June. I hope I can get to the stuff today.

1550.27 - 1578.681 Unknown

Keith Giamonco seemed like a mild-mannered suburban dad, but secretly, he became someone else, a master of disguise who went on a crime spree. 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.

Chapter 5: Why does Colin believe a LeBron move to Golden State makes sense?

1960.552 - 1978.851 Unknown

So if we continue to do that, we're going to lose Olympic sports. We're going to lose non-revenue sports. We're going to lose scholarships. And basically what's going to happen is you're going to have football and basketball succeed, and we'll have club sports for everything else with no scholarships. That's horrible. Is it?

0

1979.071 - 1999.907 Unknown

I mean, right now, football and basketball, men's and women's, the only thing that makes money. And I think that's, listen, the NFL salary cap, it goes up every year, too. It goes up every year. The Big Ten. I'm not picking on Nick. But I didn't hear this during the facilities race. I didn't hear this during the salaries exploding for coaches.

0

2001.128 - 2021.11 Unknown

And you don't have to be involved in the NIL at the highest level. Here's the other thing I hear. Well, I mean, it's just so top-heavy. Well, that's funny. Indiana went 16-0 last year. I don't remember that ever happening. Texas Tech's a baller. I don't remember that being the case. Vanderbilt gets five-star recruits. I don't remember that being the case. And I'm seeing a lot of stuff.

2021.13 - 2043.505 Unknown

I mean, you know, Oregon's been good forever, and Notre Dame, and Miami's back. That's great. I mean, I'm seeing a lot of the big dogs. Georgia's still great. Bama's still legit. But I'm seeing Ole Miss, and Ole Miss isn't paying a fortune for their coach. They kept that quarterback, that Trinidad Chambliss. I mean, Mississippi is, I guess, one of our statistically poorer states.

0

2044.005 - 2069.345 Unknown

They got enough money to compete. Is Indiana a rich state? They got money to compete. Vanderbilt's a small private school. They got enough money to compete. But that wide receiver making 1.2, we're in big trouble. This Ferrari's going over the Grand Canyon. Let me tell you something. This sport's been Thelma and Louise for a long time. They've been cars driving over that canyon for a long time.

2070.146 - 2087.916 Unknown

And it's never been better. I mean, J-Mac said it yesterday, and I'll repeat it. I never watched more college football games than last year. You'd have to go back when I was like 15 years old and I, you know, didn't have the responsibilities of America's honesty broker. Get me out of work. You're picking on Saban. No, I'm not.

2087.976 - 2088.316 Colin Cowherd

I like him.

2088.356 - 2109.313 Unknown

No, not at all. I like Nick. I think he's the best college football coach ever. I think he's a great guy. He's funny. He's a great broadcaster. Don't you think when he said, I think the first number he threw out was $2.7 million. To me, that says if salaries have gone up from $2.7 to $40, that everyone was woefully underpaid for years. Because the market is saying, we can afford these receivers.

2109.553 - 2132.157 Unknown

We can afford these linebackers. Let's pay them. Guess what? A house in Miami used to cost $375,000. Over the last six years, a house in Miami cost $800,000, $1.4 million, $1.8 million. Miami's been on fire for five years. It happens. It's called inflation. It's called tech. It's called AI. Miami now? is like one of the most expensive places to live in the world. It wasn't 10 years ago.
