The segment wraps with more Knicks championship coverage, including Ben Stiller partnering with HBO and A24 on a documentary chronicling New York's title run, as the city prepares for a long-awaited championship parade

Hour 2 opens with continued discussion surrounding Brendan Sorsby and the NFL Supplemental Draft as the guys break down the latest claims from his agent, including accusations that Cincinnati knew about the gambling allegations before the controversy exploded publicly. Joe and Hollywood debate why Sorsby's camp chose to reignite the story, whether Texas Tech simply bowed to mounting public pressure, and what kind of draft value Sorsby realistically holds despite the off-field concerns. The conversation then shifts to Messi's incredible World Cup run and why Inter Miami must do everything possible to keep their relationship with the global superstar strong, as Joe argues Messi is the greatest player the club will ever have. Along the way, Joe shares stories about growing up hunting in Northern California and eating unusual foods like deer, bear, and wild turkey. The hour wraps with Hollywood's Headlines, featuring surging World Cup viewership, CNN's upcoming U.S. Soccer documentary, the 2016 Cavaliers reunion without Kyrie Irving, Ben Stiller's new Knicks documentary project, and anticipation building for New York's championship parade.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima spiral into an extended back-and-forth about Cleveland sports nicknames, debating whether anyone actually calls Chase DeLauder "CDL," why Tito always seemed to make player nicknames longer instead of shorter, and Carman's refusal to ever use "Spida" for Donovan Mitchell. A caller pokes fun at both hosts for their own nickname habits, leading to a detour into old Browns and Indians nickname history before the guys set up their upcoming interview with Cavaliers executive Chris Kaiser. The whole segment is the kind of loose, bickering tangent that somehow still ties back to bigger questions about Jose Ramirez, Gavin Williams, and the Browns quarterback situation looming over the show.
