There is an alien coming to TD Garden tonight. D Wade carried Shaq to the championship in Miami. How does this relate to Tatum. Would you rather! Does Finland exist? Jones calls the existence of Finland into question. He does not care about any of this. They stopped the season for this! This is an international friendly tournament.

Go back to bed better than pound sand? Reporter asks Marchand about confronting Zadorov and lets it slip that there are a lot of issues in the dressing room. The one thing that all Bruins fans agree on is how bad Zadorov has been. What is going on with him?

On this installment of The Kevin O'Connor Show, New York Knicks superfan and Yahoo's own Ariel Helwani stops by to demand RESPECT for his squad! Ariel is tired of national media — including TNT's "Inside the NBA" — disrespecting a Knicks team that has been rolling as of late. Ariel is sick of hearing the tired take that Coach Thibs plays his starters too many minutes. Helwani didn't stop there — he thinks Josh Hart is hooping like a "top 24 player" in the NBA! And that Jalen Brunson is the "pound-for-pound" #1 player in the NBA. And Karl-Anthony Towns gets some major love for his defense against Nikola Jokic — despite Draymond Green thinking otherwise on social media.Speaking of Dray's beef with KAT, Ariel explains why he wants to see the two of them duke it out in the octagon. And while we're at it, who would win in a real fight between Shaquille O'Neal and Dwight Howard?Don't miss Kevin's takes on the NBA All-Star Reserves and snubs. KOC thinks *5* players should have gotten in before Jaylen Brown (!), has thoughts on Trae Young's snub, and explains why the Kyrie Irving omission was so glaring. Houston Rockets fan and podcast personality Roosh Williams stops by on this episode for a deep dive on Clutch City, including his thoughts on Alperen Sengun making the All-Star reserves over Domantas Sabonis of the Sacramento Kings. Plus, could Houston be in the running for Kevin Durant sooner than we think?

Stick around for listener emails, dating dilemmas, and, of course, a luxury lounge segment you don't want to miss. It's all the opinions you didn't know you needed, delivered with Jared's signature wit and humor!First up, Jared shares his excitement over an article about Craig Conover and Austin Kroll of Southern Charm, who just opened a new bar in Charleston, South Carolina. Jared's longtime friend Keith Benjamin is their partner in this venture, and he takes us down memory lane, sharing stories about their friendship, Keith's rise in the hospitality world, and how Charleston became Keith's playground for success. From opening Uptown Social to now co-owning The Cozy Den, Keith's journey inspires and entertains. Jared even includes an exclusive quote from Keith about the vibe, food, and freezing martinis at their new spot.But the fun doesn't stop there.

His candid commentary pokes at the couple's balancing act between seeking privacy and leveraging their royal titles for public interest.Jared reads about Victoria Beckham clearing up plastic surgery rumors, marveling at how an interview about her nose becomes a full-blown PR moment to plug her contouring skills and beauty line. His lighthearted analysis, paired with witty skepticism, makes for an entertaining exploration of celebrity branding and public image.He dives into Jim Carrey's "retirement" comments and why the internet got it wrong, Timothée Chalamet's bold Bob Dylan-inspired look, and what makes him a showstopper on and off-screen. Then, Jared dissects the PR spectacle around Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's relationship, decoding the art of the perfectly curated boyfriend narrative. Finally, he shares his take on the NBA Cup's declining ratings and why players (and fans) might need a reason to care.Email your favorite stories to jtrainpodcast@gmail.com or DM the pod on Instagram @jtrainpodcast

He reels in Izzy from the outside to discuss how his allegiances have changed with the Miami Heat stuck in a rut and the Florida Panthers winning the Stanley Cup then continuing to be phenomenal this season. He also shares his allegiances on the big topic that rustled Greg Cote's feathers in the last hour: is Greg Cote really neck-and-neck with Dave Hyde? Plus, Doc Rivers takes a victory lap after the Milwaukee Bucks won the NBA Cup last night, and it launches us into a very heated debated about whether the NHL has surpassed the NBA as a product.
