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. On Humor Me with Robert Smigel and friends, we help make you funnier. On this episode, my guests Bob Odenkirk and Kids in the Halls Bruce McCullough try and help the Kazoo Kid and Tazon Day be famous again.

What if there's an alternate universe show where you guys are incredibly popular?
Unknown 0:50
Well, and they could travel up the land doing meet and greets. They're constantly needed at malls.

Timbo 1:03
Last night, a blown call changed the game. This morning, the internet lost its mind, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened. That's where Sports Slice comes in. I'm Timbo, and every episode, we're cutting through the noise, breaking down the biggest moments in sports, and giving you the real story behind the headlines. And we're going straight to the source the athletes themselves, their locker room stories, their reactions in the moment, and the stuff nobody gets to hear. Listen to Sports Slice on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And for more, follow TimboSlicelife12 and the TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok.

Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life?
Unknown 1:47
That is not the look of an innocent man. Is everyone lying to me about who they are? I felt such desperation. I felt it was what I had to do.

Nick Wright 2:10
Welcome in What's Right with Nick Wright, episode 461, our semi-monthly mailbag episode. This episode of What's Right with Nick Wright is presented to you by Boost Mobile. Reminder to like, rate, subscribe, and review to the pod normally right off the top. We do straight to voicemail brought to you by Boost Mobile. We don't do that for mailbag episodes. Also, Thursday's show, we did not get to LeBron's future. So before we get to the questions, just off the top of the show, DeMonse, good to see you again. Let's talk a little bit about LeBron and money and his future.
Demondze 2:48
So, Windhorse reported that LeBron wants the Lakers to come to him and offer him the max. And if they don't give him the max, he wants them to explain why and how it would make sense and what they would do with the extra cap space. What justification could the Lakers give for paying him anything less than the max?
Nick Wright 3:05
Listen, if you remember last year, he was willing to take a pay cut. If it meant they could bring in, I think it was Klay Thompson or DeMar DeRozan. And then they couldn't. He was like, all right, just run me my money then. Like, go ahead. I'll take it. Here is why I find the LeBron money discussion so frustrating. Because the general... The general conventional wisdom by nearly everyone in the media, I guess other than me, is LeBron should just do charity work with his contract this year. Now, let me make this clear. If he wants to leave the Lakers... he will have to take far less, you know, a huge discount. He might have to play for the minimum somewhere if he wants to leave the Lakers because nobody has cap space.
Nick Wright 4:10
He maybe could get the mid-level or the taxpayer mid-level, but way less money than he's ever made in the NBA if he wants to leave the Lakers. And that, you know, he would then be weighing what is important to him. I've said on this show a hundred times, nobody can have everything in life.
