Hour 1

Happy Valentine's Day to all who celebrate. We started talking about the Super Bowl and the Niners decision to take the ball in OT as opposed to deferring. Will NFL Films release the audio with the video of Travis Kelce screaming at Andy Reid on the sideline? Gio said they will not release it, but Boomer said he thinks they will. We also somehow got to that time Pedro Martinez threw Don Zimmer to the ground. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and started with Kyle Shanahan calling Sunday’s loss the worst of his career. He has no regrets about taking the ball in OT. The Knicks filed an official protest regarding the controversial foul call on Jalen Brunson. Minko has the call as St. John’s lost. Carlos Mendoza met the media to talk about the upcoming Mets season. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about advertisers live bidding to get their commercials in during overtime of the Super Bowl. 

Hour 2

We ran into Kevin Burkhardt and his wife walking into the Super Bowl. We also talked about Tom Brady preparing for next season by working with Kevin during this offseason. Gio wonders if Greg Olsen will get jealous seeing Kevin on a yacht with Tom Brady. A hungover Jon Feliciano of the Niners blamed his teammate for a missed block in the Super Bowl. Then, Feliciano and Jalen Carter of the Eagles accused each other of death taunts. Jerry is here for another update and starts with Kyle Shanahan talking about the worst loss of his life this past weekend in Vegas. Jerry has clips from Brandon Marshall’s podcast where he says Taylor Swift had Kanye West removed from seats in front of her. Carlos Mendoza met the media to talk about the upcoming Mets season. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer wonders if Al’s dog was happy to see him. Al also said he was asked to tip the dog hotel staff for watching his dog. 

Hour 3

Sal Licata did not make it in because of the snow yesterday. Or the flurries, really. Some say he had the runs and couldn’t come in. The afternoon show is doing ARod day and the promo the station is running has some really bad acting by Evan and Morash. Jerry returns for an update and has sound from Shaq getting his jersey retired by the Orlando Magic. Former NBA player Matt Barnes got into it with a student broadcaster at a basketball game. In the final segment of the hour, Burger King Twitter goes savage on a complaining customer.

Hour 4

Boomer talked about all the endorsement deals Patrick Mahomes has. We also talked more about Travis Kelce going off on Andy Reid on the sideline of the Super Bowl. Jerry returns for an update but first Gio is getting defense texts from Chris McMonigle saying he is ‘all in’. Jerry has calls from the Super Bowl from ‘feeds’ we didn’t know existed. Ian Eagle was on the call for the ‘World Feed’ and Noah Eagle was on Nickelodeon. Jerry also had NFL Films audio where the Niners were calling Mahomes a ‘regular quarterback’ when things were going well for them early in the game. The Moment of The Day involves Mark Chernoff making us share hotel rooms on snow days. In the final segment of the show, Boomer wonders why the afternoon show is having an ‘A-Rod Day’.

On this edition of bet roulette, Mego chooses the under in the Bruins game, Arcand takes the Magic +3.5, and Jones takes the OKC Thunder -3.5

This week episode we test the knowledge of our host, as well as getting into the scoring surge that is occurring in the NBA. There is also a debate where Steph ranks as a playmaker.

Hour 2 - In the second hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand, they begin with the Brady vs Mahomes legacy debate, receive some interesting calls, and say who they fear most in the NBA. Ryan Garvin says the Magic, Jones says the Heat, Arcand and Mego agree. Jan from Maine is a caller you do not want to miss.

The Orlando Magic awoke Tuesday with the second-best record in the East and the third-best defense in the NBA and Magic coach Jamahl Mosley joined Chris Haynes and Marc Stein for this special episode to talk about Orlando's surprising start, how Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner have formed such an effective frontcourt partnership, managing success with a young team and how the addition of veteran Joe Ingles has changed their locker room.
