Hey, it's Bobby Bones. Join me and former NFL quarterback Matt Castle every Wednesday for our new

0:05.3

podcast, lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle. Between us, we have over 17,500 passing yards,

0:12.1

multiple New York Times bestsellers, and one mirror ball trophy from Dancing with a Star. So where else

0:16.6

you can find a show with that much athleticism and football insight? We talk sports, but we talk pop culture and music and a little bit of everything.

0:23.9

Listen to lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

I wanted to touch on news emanating out of Phoenix, Arizona, involving the one and only Kevin Durant, star for the Phoenix Suns.

didn't get hurt in that close out game six. I don't think there's any chance in hell that the

1:50.7

Toronto Raptors led by Kauai Lennett would have won more than a game. I think it would have been

1:55.2

2:01.2

games to the Golden State Warriors and the Golden State Warriors would have three peted. But
