Jones, Mego, and Arcand reveal their favorite cringeworthy interview moments
April 19, 2024 21:13 - 10 minutes - 9.66 MBIt is time for Triple Play! The questions asked were their favorite Celtics and Bruins playoff series that is not a Stanley Cup Final or an NBA Finals and their favorite terrible interview moment. Which Sacremento Kings player did Jones get chirped by? Which hip-hop artist did Arcand's interview question raise questions for? Which former QB has Mego " screetched" at? Listen to find out.
Consensus will be impossible for Patriots at three, and for this show
April 19, 2024 21:04 - 21 minutes - 19.9 MBThere are many different voices in the Patriots front office. There are many different voices on this show. Swayman or Ullmark? Drake Maye or Jayden Daniels or JJ McCarthy? No one is in agreement on anything. Ownership probably likes Jayden Daniels more because he is more marketable, but AVP and Ben McAdoo could want Drake Maye. Arcand wants to trade down, but Jones and Mego are team Drake Maye, their hillbilly king.
The Patriots would be happy with Maye or Daniels; Bruins playoff goalie situation
April 19, 2024 20:18 - 42 minutes - 38.9 MBHour 2 - during the second hour of the Jones and Mego show with Arcand the crew begins the hour by breaking down the big Q @2, which is Do you worry Drake Maye going to Washington at 2 would screw up the Patriots' pick at 3?

If the Leafs actually beat the Bruins not only will Jones admit he misses Patrice, but he thinks that Monty's days as the Bruins coach would be numbered. Also, a goalie has been decided upon but GM Sweeney is not telling anyone who it is. "SWAYMAN!" shouts Jones.
Tom E Curran joins the show, talks Eliot Wolf presser, AJ Brown
April 19, 2024 19:51 - 13 minutes - 12.8 MBNBC Sports Boston's Tom E Curran calls into the show to discuss the Patriots just six days out of the NFL Draft! If Wolf thinks the Patriots are not a team that is drafting from a need, then he needs to take a long objective look at his offense. The Patriots have the worst offense in football.

April 19, 2024 18:34 - 20 minutes - 18.7 MBFirstly, Mego is hungover, she went to a friend’s going away party from the Herald, knocked a glass of wine across the table, got overserved by herself. Jones: If I drink period, I will be hungover. Also, Jayden Daniels is discussed. Jones: If he wants to control his way to NE then what is wrong with him! Would Washington still take him at 2? Mego: Terrible look for Jayden Daniels. Not a good look to steer a team away from drafting you. Washington has better weapons than New England. Is Wash...

The crew reacts and argues about this information.
Eliot Wolf says everything and nothing at his recent press conference
April 18, 2024 21:05 - 22 minutes - 20.3 MBEliot Wolf has spoken to the media once again.
