Old school in fifty year, forty eight minutes from now, we throw it back and reminisce. Let's just say it has to do with technology and technology we grew up with.

00:00:52
Speaker 2: But man, love it.

00:00:53
Speaker 1: I hope we're having a school bol scheme sort today. And we got to talk Aaron Judge, call the joke and get some fudge. If he doesn't win, I hate everybody. It's Covino and Rich and we be rocking out let's go schoobl and skiing sounds like a luffern. Yes, hey, if you're injured in a car accident, see scoople and skids occident is all right? Ski? That's Rich Davis. He's back from Texas here in Los Angeles. So we're live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. And if you miss any of today's show, you'll want to catch the podcast search Covino and Rich wherever you get your podcasts. Give it five stars. We appreciate it, Covino and Rich. Let's see how many stars in the studio one, two, three, four? Well we got six stars in studio three quarter stars. So if you can't, if you count Dan Byron Sandra six, well give us five stars. We appreciate it, Coveno and Rich. There's a lot to get to today. We're gonna start with the NFL. But to let you know, Judge and kel Raley, we find that out later on, so we will discussar we'll go all hold on. We might not find out during this show. I'm hoping to be six pm Eastern. Yeah, but I was talking to Jolly Bush. He's always eating Jolly b I call him Jolly Bursch. Jolly Bursch, jolly, and he's jolly Jolly Bursch. I was talking to him and jellyb it's a Filipino fans, like a KFC of the Philippines. I have once. I did not like it, but I've been told I should give it another chance. Birsch loves it. Yeah, so tell you by Yeah. So I was talking to Jolly Bush and he goes, look, the nl MVP will probably be given first because it's so obvious, and then they'll make everybody wait for the al MVP. Obvious mean exactly, and you know what, I could see them leaning into the theatrics the dramatics that way because it's such a heated and such a close competition even though it shouldn't be. Is MLB gonna bring in Seacrest to be like after the break?

00:02:45
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:02:46
Speaker 1: I think so we'll see either way. We we might have Rob Parker on standby, or you're gonna hear randoma. We got to get Rob Parker because he's gonna be on obviously after us with the odd couple. He's our MLB bro, so we'll hear from him. You know what, I'm just being rich. If you need something to watch the night. If you're bored by the idea of the Jets Patriots. Later on, maybe we'll talk a little bit about being Eddie. The Eddie Murphy documentary Danny g I feel like it's right up your alley. You're gonna remember if you don't how influential this dude was in the eighties.

00:03:17
Speaker 2: I love Eddie Murty.

00:03:18
Speaker 1: I think we talk about all the influential dudes and women of our childhood. I think Eddie Murphy doesn't get enough credit, So maybe we'll get to that weekin enough credit. Everybody kisses his ass. Every comedian under the moon kisses Eddie Murphy's ass and deserving me. So in the documentary they do. I'll tell you that I'm saying. And before him, there was Richard Pryor. Before Richard Prior, there was Red Fox, and before Fox, and he's somebody else. Eddie's different, though, but.

00:03:44
Speaker 2: He even made a donkey a good character in a movie.

00:03:47
Speaker 1: He said, that's I like Eddie Murphy, but don't act like he doesn't get his credit.

00:03:50
Speaker 2: He definitely does.

00:03:51
Speaker 1: He talks about Donkey being some of his hardest work, exhausting. Well, I can't wait to see it. Well, let's go into the show. NFL is king. We love this baseball season. NBA's popping, but NFL is king. And every year we get a kick out of what a lot of things the schedule releases. No, Kings, didn't you read the protests? Those dope stop in traffic. Get a job.

00:04:16
Speaker 2: You guys love the rankings.

00:04:18
Speaker 4: I love rank picks like USA Today and all the media outlets, all of us get a job.

00:04:23
Speaker 1: So I'll tell you this what we love and look forward to every year. NFL is king. We love the report cards when the players get together and they judge the teams based on facilities, how they treat their families, the workout room, travel, it's their way of being, like, yo, I'm going to blind survey the place I work at and you can't stop me. And did you see the latest The NFL owners want to put a stop to this. Yeah, they said enough of the report cards. In fact, owners like Woody Johnson, they're trying to dom the credibility of it.

00:05:01
Speaker 5: They're saying it's bogus. Actually that's the quote, right agus. Yeah, the Jets owner is leading the way, and well, you know.

00:05:07
Speaker 1: Who wants to stop it with the weak ass owners want to stop it. Like if you know, Danny, if there was a list and you were ranked high on it, you love the list. If there was a list then you were ranked low on it, you'd be like bunk list. So I get it. That is true. Every time they come out with like talk radio lists, we're usually on them, but never like where we want to be, so like, yeah, they stink. But if we were number one, we were like, hell, yeah, yeah, baby, we're on the list number one. If there was like some weak ass made up list of like top Latino broadcasters and it was like number four Steve Cavino, he'd be like, just a great list, not bad. Yeah I should be top three, but yeah, I'll take it. So your thoughts, your thoughts on the list? Are you on the list? I think this is really cool. I love the player surveys that you could say it's petty and bs because a lot of times it's spiteful, but remember the players survey and Caitlyn Clark low and it's like, oh, what a bunch of jealous biachies. So there's a lot involved the facility, Like you said, how they treat their kids, not just to welcome their families, not just in the NFL. I'm saying all these player surveys in all sports to be like, who do you find the most overrated in the NBA, And it's like, WHOA, that's so that's the sentiment among your peers. I feel like peer surveys do hold a little cloud to me. You might think, wow, is there much thought put into it? I like these surveys because, for instance, even though the Chiefs are a dynasty that have dominated, remember they had some f's Yeah, I remember, like you know what player medical care? Yeah, So for us, it's great fodder, great things to talk about, and it's fun to speculate. So of course we're going to love it. I could see how it rubs the NFL and the owners the wrong way.

00:06:49
Speaker 2: I think about it.

00:06:49
Speaker 1: You're spending so much money on these dudes and then they come back. This is how you thank me with an F on the report card. It's got to sting a little bit from their perspective. Well, I'll give you an example. I do believe there's a nugget of truth to it. If we gave Fox Sports Radio rankings based on places we've worked, I know where I would grade it high and where i'd grade it low. Maybe we used to get free snacks at other jobs. I was gonna say number five. I remember there were jobs. There were jobs I'll give you where we were the s n Y in New York, which was the nets Snack There was a free snack, a snack wall. Man neverber thinking we all got fat too from that side. I was gonna say, Rich, it's good that we don't have that. A Fox Sports taking sonships home with us. Man.

00:07:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rich is the biggest snacker I.

00:07:39
Speaker 1: Know, Dude, I'd be ten pounds half the year if we had a snack wall here here, but in a different way. Yeah, maybe they do that on purpose. Wink wink, not nod.

00:07:47
Speaker 5: Oh does that mean nothing? Nothing is behind the scenes. Oh okay, so no, absolutely, I know what you mean, and we're joking of course.

00:07:55
Speaker 1: But you also have to factor in I'm not I want a snack wall. You have to factor in the vine created and everything, and and what it feels like to work there. I think those are a lot of untangibles that probably aren't factored in, like of cool, Well, what's the staff like? Is everybody friendly? Is everyone cool there?

00:08:10
Speaker 2: Like?

00:08:11
Speaker 1: Do they accommodate you in certain ways. I don't think a lot of that's factored in.

00:08:15
Speaker 4: And it just hit me what Sam was joking about. You could talk about it. They joke about it on the Ben Mallor Show often Sam. Lorena gets package after package from listeners all over the country, and a lot of it is goodies and treats, and she's nice enough to leave a lot of it here with notes saying help yourself.

00:08:31
Speaker 5: Yeah, because she does not even want like she has. She gets so many snacks and like plushy dolls and stuff. She like leaves stuff for us and we're like, oh, thank you, Lorena.

00:08:39
Speaker 1: Loraen is great. Were reaping all the benefits or even the benefits of a a bunch of horn dog guys that you know. Lorain is like an intelligent, beautiful woman, and all of a sudden, all these listeners on the country. You know, if you were smart, we should tell Loraina to tell her fans of Fox Sports Radio like things that we need. Yeah, you know what I mean? You know what you really love Lorena gold toat Socks.

00:09:07
Speaker 2: New Pair.

00:09:07
Speaker 1: Loraina tell them that you like, uh, you know, turkey jerky, Yeah, some things that we want. Yeah, so that is our snack wall, you should do that. But yeah, thoughts on that at eight, seven, seven, nine nine on Fox. It's not the biggest deal. But I did see that story was breaking earlier today that the NFL is like, yeah, we don't know if we like the player in a way. All right, I'm just playing Devil's advocate and I'll be Keanu Reeves. What do you think about it? It's a bit hypocritical if they were to ask you, what would you do? What would you do? Because it is anonymous, crappy feedback. It's like, if you're on social media, don't you look down on the jabbroni who chimes in anonymously with some heavy criticism. It's like, if you're going to say something rude and critical, you you should own up to it, Like it's very cowardly to do it anonymously like that.

00:10:05
Speaker 4: Well, I think in this case they have to. But the NFLPA they stick up for themselves and they've even recently the survey process has been enhanced. They are including third party perspectives, they say, to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of each team's workplace standards.

00:10:23
Speaker 1: I get it, and I do think it's interesting and I do believe there's truth to it. But like Rich said before, there are disgruntled people for whatever reason, there are people who are just jerks. And as a radio show Rich, do you give more credibility to the person who owns up to who he is? There's pictures of him and his family on social media and he's like, Rich Davis sucks. That hurts and means a lot more than someone anonymous with no picture profile whatsoever. And he's like, Rich sucks it just does you know what I mean? So I think this anonymous criticism is far more cowardly and if you want to look at it that way, it's easy to say some negative stuff when you don't have to own up to it. I have a question now, I'm sure not just human resources at iHeart or Fox or a serious exam or any place we've worked or work when they when companies do say hey, put your feedback here, it's anonymous, like you know, like like a blind survey. Don't you always feel like I'm doing it for my work computer? It's really not. Yeah, I know I feel that way. We saw trap happen once and again. The guy didn't get in trouble or anything. But I remember we were let's just say we worked to a company not Ihearten Fox Sports Radio where there was a town hall where like the boss of the company was speaking. He's like, who has complaints? Hey, this is an open forum where we could talk. And I remember one dude did the whole like I got a complaint, and I remember thinking, like, what are you doing? That's a trap. As Danny said, it's a trap. He started talking about everything from how much he was you know, wasn't paid, to snacks in the kitchen too, it's fair and fair time off and the you know, the studio updates and I'm like, yo, this guy, what are you doing?

00:12:15
Speaker 5: So You're right there is something about to say that guy doesn't work there anymore.

00:12:20
Speaker 1: He does it, but I don't think that's why. But it's still like to me, like, no words spread around. I wasn't at that meeting and I heard about it. How about this rich When it comes to surveys, Yeah, when you're on customer service and they ask you are you willing to do the survey afterward? Do you hit yes just because you think you're gonna be higher in line? Yes, I do because I think if I may hang up when you're done. Anyway, I'm willing to take the survey because in my mind, no, I pretend like I'm going, that's what I'm saying. If they say, if you're willing to take a survey after this, press one, I'm like, yes, if I press one, they'll answer my call quicker because they want me to give a good survey. Is there truth to that or not?

00:12:59
Speaker 2: Though?

00:12:59
Speaker 1: That's the thing, and is there truth? How much truth is there to this NFL survey of a question? Yeah, and the owners are saying bogus. If you're at a restaurant, I have done this, and I I am a man of my word when I do this as a waiter or waitress, ever been like, hey, can you do me a favorite? Mean a lot? If you just go to this website and put in this code and leave me like a review, it'll mean a lot. This is when I hand it over to the girlfriend, I'm like, yeah, she's got the YELP thing going on. She could chill more of a new business in town. Is like, but I do think that's a great idea a good review. I feel sometimes like, yeah you should, Yeah, that's that's a nice thing to do. Especially just getting started. Yeah, I'm not saying I wouldn't do that, absolutely would. All right, So your thoughts on this? The NFL report cards? I like them. I think they're fun. I think they're interesting. Do you put any stock into it or is it just stuff to bs about? Do you take any pride into it, like if your team gets a high grade? Yeah, damn right, I root for a class organization. Yeah, what are your thoughts on it? They're trying to put a stop to it. I think what it does could be known. Think it's just fun for sports talk and sports fans to see what's going on, and it keeps these owners on their toes. It's fun bs banter for guys like us and you know on the network and other networks. But you're right, anonymous feedback is usually like not the feedback I really put a lot of stock into However, it is ammunition when the bad reviews go to the teams that are struggling, because then it just gives more ammunition for the fans to be like, that's why look at these suck they got The players don't even feel respected, And I bet you as some young players factor that in like, yeah, I don't know, man, I hear bad things about that organization. It must plant some sort of seed. But truth to it or not. Of course, Woody Johnson and some owners are gonna say there's no truth to it.

00:14:56
Speaker 4: He's got he got f It doesn't always line up though, Like my favorite team, the Las Vegas Raiders. They got great grades across the board, but their organization makes some bad business decisions. Their facilities are nice, but you know what I mean, it doesn't always translate into you being a winning team or.

00:15:13
Speaker 2: A losing team. Just like how you mentioned the Chiefs get some low grades.

00:15:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think Patrick Mahomes or Kelsey or Andy Reid or anyone's really you know, hating life in Arrowhead. So you know what your thoughts At eight, seven, seven, nine nine on Fox, we're gonna get to some Judge versus Cal Rowley make our final thoughts on that. We're gonna go old school and fifty hits and talk some more NFL. There's some games this weekend. Now, I know, I sound like the Bachelor host when they always say like this is the most dramatic season yet Honestly, there are some telling games this week that are some of the biggest games of the year so far, and I think we've got to break down some of these key matchups that are going to really sort of determine the future of divisions in the National Football League.

We throw it back every Thursday here on Covino Owners. We get you involved. Now, we could wrap this up. NFL Report Cards is always fun, but I think it's more fun for I think it's more fun for us than anybody, because I don't know at the barbershop you ever hear or any of your buddies ever come up with that info, yo, man, none. I think we just get a kick out you know, so I just think it's fun fodder. But it is interesting though. I think everyone does the little quick peruse like you want to say, I want to see you don't bite the hand that feeds. Though, Man, if you're getting paid and they're treating you decent, you don't talk smack about your company like that. And there's too many organizations that are getting f's. Woody Johnson doesn't like it. The NFL owners are trying to put a stop to the NFL report cards, saying they're weak, they're bogus, they're not even real, they're not legit. You hear that. Everyone Kavino loves sticking up for billionaires. It's not that I'm just saying these billionaires are making rich men at a lot of a lot of these people. Let's go to JP and okay, see, okay, see what's up JP.

00:19:45
Speaker 6: How you guys doing today?

00:19:46
Speaker 1: What do you think about the report cards? How owners like, yeah, yeah, it's something done with this.

00:19:51
Speaker 6: Oh so I got two things all right? So first thing you guys are talking about like anonymous, like leaving anonymous and things like that, Like I get all that.

00:19:59
Speaker 1: I think hiding by and.

00:20:00
Speaker 6: The keyboard is weak. But at the same time, like these billionaires are at the end of the day have the opportunity to collude and they can say I'm not gonna sign this free agent because he was talking smack about the team you know that he was on before. So I feel like the owners could you know, all gang up and not sign a guy or lowball them because he spoke out about how bad the situation was at his other team.

00:20:25
Speaker 1: That's true. And you know what's interesting what matters to someone? Actually, you know what, let me let me quote the different strokes theme may what might be right for you may not be right for some. A man he's born, he's a man, me of me, of means, man of means, man of means. Then a long came two. They got nothing about their jeans. It's different for everyone. What might mean something to you might mean Jack Diddeley squat to someone else. Like we're talking to one of the guys here it's anonymous. We're saying how this is an amazing, big company that we love, but I don't have one like Fox Sports Radio T shirt. There's no swag. That's that true. We got one from where we are we Danny Gene, Oregon but it was like a local our affiliates and radio the only one Egen. Yeah, I was gonna say, you need Rob Parking to slap a logo on it. What I'm saying is logo on it. Someone might say, like, you know, my complaint is that we don't have any like you know, I never got like a Fox Sports Radio tumbler, And someone else might be like, I don't want that junk. So what you know, like keeping nice? You never know what means something to people, right, Yeah, I want a coozy like we have beautiful free parking outside. There might be I work for companies that are like, yeah, park where you know, fine parking? Yeah, but you see that petty that sounds even though I agree, you know what, I would love a nice Fox Sports radio zip up fleece, nice little hoodie or something that would be nice. You say hoodie, I did say.

00:21:50
Speaker 2: Hod.

00:21:52
Speaker 1: Why you don't call it that? I don't know that's how we say it in New Jersey. Bro sweet, But like, as long as those checks are clearing, isn't that the most important?

00:22:06
Speaker 2: That's how I feel.

00:22:07
Speaker 1: I hear you, dude, I'm I'm listening here, I am kissing ass. I have no complaints about this place. But you're right, you don't know what matters to someone else. Right, let's say what's up to Ali Alejandro in Ventury County. What's up many?

00:22:20
Speaker 7: You said hoody?

00:22:23
Speaker 1: Did you said?

00:22:25
Speaker 3: You said HOODI?

00:22:27
Speaker 6: I like you said.

00:22:29
Speaker 1: You don't rock hood He said hoodie like he was like saying, like like, ho, woud someone say with hummus like.

00:22:33
Speaker 6: Almost you said you said that?

00:22:37
Speaker 7: Okay, these ratings things are yeah, they're not right. They're not right. The ratings are not right. That's just like my ex used to rate my marber, but she doesn't go to my marble or my barber stops cutting my hair.

00:22:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just there's there's a little bit of cowardly behavior behind it. I don't like anything anonymous, I really don't, but it's fun to talk about. There's no question. Well, I'm just reality.

00:23:11
Speaker 5: It protects people sometimes sometimes you have to be anonymous or be like, have an anonymous source.

00:23:15
Speaker 1: Or how about you just stand up for what you believe in. Maybe why do you have to hide him? Because you don't want to throw you want to throw your life away to stand up for something. Sometimes I'll say this, there's apps that I don't think any woman should ever be put in a terrible situation by dating a piece of trash guy. But there are websites where like, if a woman goes on a bed date with a guy, she gives them like a review and then like all of a sudden, he's on some app is like red Flag Guy, and it's like, why guess you didn't get along to Double Edged Sword? Yeah, so it's like, you know again because you didn't like it?

00:23:52
Speaker 5: Know what?

00:23:53
Speaker 1: I hate? That's why I don't follow yelp, or, as Cavino loves to call it, rotten potatoes not tomatoes, because if you followed rotten tomatoes, we would never watch a Sandler movie. We would never watch a dumb comedy or a dumb reality show. If and if you go to yelp, you'll go look at a restaurant and someone could be like, yeah, yeah, food is great, but I didn't like my waiter, then I may love the waiter. Hey, Rich, there's this show called All's Fair you should check out, but don't look at the reviews.

00:24:23
Speaker 2: No, no, no, just.

00:24:23
Speaker 1: Go ahead and just watch it and tell me what you think you're talking about. That Kim Kardashian show it's so bad. It's good. Sam.

00:24:29
Speaker 5: No, I've heard it's so bad that don't even waste your time? Why and like hate watching won't even get it done. On a side note, again, we're talking about NFL report cards. They're trying to put a stop to it. The owners want to put a stop to it.

00:24:39
Speaker 1: Some of the owners, not the ones in the top ones getting after saying it's not even legit. You ever get a report card, Rich and you look through the comments. So when you were a kid and you look through the comments and the teacher says something weird about you, You're like, what the hell, what's that about? He has a weird odor?

00:24:55
Speaker 5: I remember saying something about he smells like pickled eggs.

00:25:00
Speaker 1: It's like every day. Remember I'm a kid, right And I'm like, I don't even know if i want to bring this home to mom right now, because you feel weird about it. I remember, like the teacher wrote in the comments, like, you know, Steven's a good kid or whatever. But I gave him constructive criticism and he was a vegetable, And I was like, I was a vegetable?

00:25:16
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

00:25:19
Speaker 1: Yeah? You know, as a great schooler. I was like What does he mean? What does she mean by that? I'm a vegetable? What do I got? Tomatohead? What is that? What does that he mean? But I remember feeling like the criticism hurts. It does, but sometimes people need to hear it. But own it is my point. Own it, dude, what's going to be more impactful? Ready, let's play it out? Okay, all right, I gotta complain about the snack wall or there's no snack, there's no swag, no freebies at Fox Sports Radio. Anonymously putting a note in a box. Who cares about that? Idiot? Or the guy who's the host in the afternoons kindly writes a letter or it goes up to the bass, knocks out the door, something that's been on my mind and own up to it. It might have greater impact if he knows who was coming from. Well, I think uh, I'd go anonymous. You know what you want to show? You want to show to be renamed kimplaino and bitch Hey, uh boss man? Love working here, just checking in and say what's up? And it's been on my mind? Really could use some dipsy doodles and some some some Fox Sports Radio key chains really make a big difference around here. At a chance we can get some free Monster energy drink, but to make more impact than some anonymous person, because anyone could be an idiot about that thing.

00:26:37
Speaker 2: So anyway, well, you guys wield a powerful sword. Because years ago you complained about the coffee.

00:26:43
Speaker 1: Look at that. It's the same exact coffee. That coffee. We still got it. So anyway, complaints, report cards the end. Now what are we really doing coffee machine here but water? Oh yeah, I know. We're getting ready for Dan Byer's update. We're also on the edge of our seat because waiting for this MVP announcement. That's really what it comes down to today. I got to give props to schoolbl and Skiens, your favorite law firm. As Rich said before, schoobl and Skiens both going to be Yankees soon enough, at least one of those guys, Skeens, says anonymous source. By the way, speaking up, yeah, anonymous source, A lot of his teammates are saying that Skeens often talks about wanting to be a Yankee. Anonymous source own up to it, and they got the cy young. As you guys already know, and you've heard a million times already. But who will be your MVP? You're gonna find out today. Let's go to our guy right now, Dan Buyer for an update. dB. What's up man?

00:27:45
Speaker 8: Hey fellas getting shat for not only that announcement, but you guys talked about a week eleven tonight Jets and Patriots. The Jets did place wide receiver Garrett Wilson on injured reserve because of a knee injury. He was already ruled out tonight and now we'll miss their next four games. Texans ruling out Siege Stroud the quarterback is going to miss Sunday's matchup with the Titans. Davis Mills gets the start. Raven's quarterback Lamar Jackson back at practice today. He's expected to start in Cleveland on Sunday. Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco limited with his shoulder injury. Falcons wide receiver Drake London limited in practice today and no practice for these players. Broncos running back JK Dobbins, Chiefs running back as A Pacheco, and Lions ten ends Sam Laporta did look like brock Perty was on the practice field for the second straight day for the forty nine ers. Niners GM John Lynch told KMBR today that it's not their intention to hold out wide receiver Brandon Ayuk for the entire season as he tries to come back from that knee injury suffered last year. But right now, in his words, quote, there are no absolutes end quote, so we may not see Brandon Ayuk at all this season.

00:28:46
Speaker 1: Man, good thing they gave him all that money last year. Huh right, Yeah, it's it stinks that he got hurt. But man, yeah, this hasn't worked out for the forty nine ers since that move. You think pretty on smarts play this weekend since I'm gonna be Yeah, I think so. I think there's a little little extra motivation, a little oop.

00:29:04
Speaker 8: An anonymous source told me that they are really excited that you guys are going to be there and they're doing everything. In fact, Ricky Pearsall is like, I'm going to practice too. I may come back and play as well. I have a source.

00:29:16
Speaker 2: I can't tell you that. Who can't tell you?

00:29:19
Speaker 1: See what it means? It means nothing if you don't know who said it says who? What if the Empire did a whole update with fake an out of sources and he could say a bunch of bs, but it's like it was an anonymous source.

00:29:32
Speaker 8: The fake counts on Twitter becoming pretty pretty interesting. They can catch somebody, not for sure.

00:29:38
Speaker 1: Interestingly enough, I'm glad you said that, dB, And by the way, thank you for the update. You de man oh I wasn't done.

00:29:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's okay.

00:29:44
Speaker 8: You guys are just talking about the Cardinals and forty nine ers if they were done.

00:29:50
Speaker 1: He's getting more of a covenio.

00:29:52
Speaker 8: The only reason I say that is because I do have to say Jalen Brunson just a Grade one spring for the Knicks, but he's not going to play tomorrow against the Miami Heat. That's that was my other bit of news. And the Padres could be up for sale.

00:30:04
Speaker 1: Back to you guys, The Brunson things big because New York sports having a rough go at it. The Yankees and Mets came up short. The Jets and the Giants are stinking like Abe Lincoln and the reality is the Knicks or what New York's got buzzing right now with Brunson. If that would have been worse, that just it would have added to the misery. Yeah, nothing new, I heard Dan Patrick r pal DP, who were filling in for By the Way Wednesday. Wednesday, dan Patrick was saying that New York sports sometimes we forget that they've had a bad run. Yankees, oh nine Giants with a with a randoh surprise has been the only really positive in New York sports in the last couple decades. Not even the teams. The city too taken a hit, just not that. Yeah, gotta be there, got to play their reputation that it once had. But speaking of the anonymous source, and it all ties together, perfect though perfect though. We talked about the NFL report cards. Danny g you sent me a story? Was it commito?

00:31:07
Speaker 2: Bet?

00:31:07
Speaker 3: Was it?

00:31:07
Speaker 1: Jennifer Lawrence? Yeah, it's funny with said Jennifer Lawrence said that she loves she has like fake accounts and she likes fighting with fans.

00:31:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, she likes control people burner accounts.

00:31:19
Speaker 1: And it got us thinking, like, I know a lot of people's girlfriends and wives have burner accounts to sort of like Kevin Durant to check in on people, and a lot of.

00:31:28
Speaker 5: I call it Finsta accounts, she says, fake Instagram. She has a secret TikTok account. I have like a secret life on TikTok. She says, I get in fights in the comment section and one girl was like, how old are you?

00:31:39
Speaker 7: Bro?

00:31:40
Speaker 1: I'm not saying guys don't do this though. Don't think it's sexist. But my wife has told me most women she knows have some type of secondary account where they just check up on things or they want to look at women that they don't want that girl to know they're checking their page. Yeah, my girlfriend definitely definitely has fake accounts for that reason, not like you know, she's pretending to be a fake person that I know of, but just for the reason that Rich said to check up on certain things and spy on other people. And I don't know, it's a whole racket going on. It is more of a woman thing. I don't know one dude except for Kevin Durant that has another feel. If women and Kevin Durant and a few trolls out there, now, if people have these accounts, right, if people have these accounts, does it sort of go along with the whole conversation about the NFL report cards, Like if you're anonymous, does it really mean anything? It doesn't. It's a faceless, nameless as you always say, Rich agg on Twitter is a nobody with no profile. That's why it's things harder, I promise you as a guy that's on the radio, and Rich you've said this before too. It's things a lot worse when it's a real person that takes full accountability. It says you suck. His name is Rob Johnson from Wisconsin with a family of four, and he's there with you think because I'm Rob and I listen, and I'm telling you straight up, that hurts a lot more than someone who like has no profile, he has no friends on that account, you know, anonymous at Rob Johnson whatever with a family that hurts At ask Gazer sixty nine and is and his zero follower his pictures like a firebird with a dog on the road. It's an egg, right or an egg Like, I don't care. I will never even look at that. So that's what I'm saying.

00:33:25
Speaker 5: Those people don't matter. But like if you're if you work inside of some really dysfunctional business and you have to be anonymous in order to like a whistleblower in order to get change, I'm fully on board with that. But you guys, remember seventy six ers general manager like seventy eight years ago, Brian Colangelo. He was using a fake Twitter account to attack his own players, and he quit after he was exposed.

00:33:45
Speaker 1: All right, of course, this is about that horrible story of the mom that was harassing her daughter.

00:33:51
Speaker 2: The whole time.

00:33:52
Speaker 1: Wasn't that turned into a a documentary or yeah, that was the worst mom in the world. That should be the name of the documentary. But Danny, haven't there been athlete family members that accidentally like sort of gave up their identity. Yep, Like this happens all the time. So again, do with it what you will. We got more Coveno on Ritch. Next, we're gonna go old school. We're gonna talk about really key NFL matchups this week, so well, we're gonna get a little NFL. Seriously, for the record, Rich, when you've done watching Frankenstein on Netflix, I was referencing unknown number the high school catfish. That's the story of the mom with the burner account harassing her own daughter. What the funniest part of that whole documentary was it's old enough now where we were not spoiling anything. The mom that was catfishing her own kid. Not only is the worst mom in the world. Remember the funniest part where she's like, oh she got you know, someone sent her a thousand terrible message. She's like, yeah, but only nine hundred and ninety nine of them were actually made. Yeah, Like she kind I didn't start at I just leaned into it for the next four years. She took accountability for like ninety nine percent of it. Like, we're not gonna go all the okay, cool, all right, listen, we got more Covino on Wretch. We'll go old school a lot of NFL. There are three particular games that I think are so telling this week. I'll tell you what those are.

00:35:55

00:36:27
Speaker 7: Yea.

00:36:27
Speaker 3: What we gonna do is go back back into time, throwing it back for a Thursday. Old School went fifty hits at fifty after CNR give you the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.

00:36:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we do this every Thursday. We get you involved. Fox Sports Radio Nations, So be dialand eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Because we throw it back, we reminisce and we put our noggints together. We saw this article, we didn't read it. We saw this article. Danny G read it from the Wall Street Journal articles Do you mean you read a meme that I read the meme? Danny G read the article. It really is from the Wall Street Journal. I'm not making this up. And the whole story, in a nutshell, is that young consumers. If we all have young people in our life, teenagers, nieces, nephews, if you know some young'in's. I got a sixteen year old daughter, young consumers are ditching smart technology for old technology. That's a trend. It's a phase. They're gonna be like, I don't want to flip phone, I want my iPhone back. In the article says gen Z's unplugging, swapping smartphones for flip phones, CDs and early two thousands digital cameras in a bid to take back control. Says that the movement is spreading across campuses and TikTok where nostalgia meets rebellion. Even artists like Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, and Loofy are fueling the throwback trend with physical media releases. Owning something real has become a new counter culture. There's always culture than counterculture, and I see firsthand some absolute truth to this in the form of vinyl. My daughter has vinyl. She doesn't even have a record player. She has vinyl. She has Frank Ocean albums, New Deftones, whatever comes out, she wants the vinyl. Yeah, she has a digital camera. I had to ask Spot, hey, Spot, you got an old digital camera. And they like the old granny crappy, pixelated quality of that camera because it feels old school and nostalgic.

00:38:30
Speaker 9: They do.

00:38:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, And and not only does my daughter like it, all her friends think is the coolest thing, and they want to borrow at music. I see it firsthand. Who doesn't level polaroid?

00:38:39
Speaker 5: You get the physical and that comes out a little like Granny is just what is fuzzy nostalgic about it?

00:38:46
Speaker 1: This hand, very trendy. Like I've been to weddings or family parties stuff, Yeah, where they have the photo booth where you get the little strip of pictures or her, or they have Polaroid cameras around the party. Your daughter's having her sweet sixteen coming up.

00:39:00
Speaker 2: You don't remind me.

00:39:01
Speaker 1: Are you gonna throw those like disposable yellow cameras on the table the coda not. It's not a bad idea. But they're not cheap anymore. But when getting the photo booth for her party, yeah, it had to have tangible photos, like you don't want just the digital link or you don't want to email to you like, it was a priority that. No, they're printed out and we want them because kids want that stuff. It's kind of refreshing when you think about it, because I think we've gone to digital where it's like even our photos of our kids and digital, where are they sit in a folder somewhere you never see them ever? Not I get that, but I feel like, listen, it's like a nice little once in a while throw back, like, oh, look a polar ad camera. But what are you rather a polar aid camera or your iPhone that has the sweetest camera, or even an Android. The only good thing about Androids sorry, is that it has a great camera. Do you really want to trade that in for your Nokia flip phone that had a whack and camera technology is just as good, and in fact, a lot of it comes out before Apple tchnology. No, I'm saying they have a good camera. They have a great camera. I said that, but based on that, based on the tangible nostalgia that young people are rebelling for what is some old technology that you think needs to come back. I think younger people love the idea of and I say this real, They love the idea of like the eighties and nineties because there was technology, but it wasn't really there yet. That's why young kids maybe they like readid Nintendo. We could download these old Nintendo games and you know it had one hundred games on this little console. Like people love that stuff, but permanently it's a fun throwback. The same way you'd be like, wait a minute, mom, but that's an eight track player, and then after many be like, that's cool. I'm gonna go back to my CD. But the life they're living is a little soulless. It really is. It's like too digital. And you know what, I'm glad you brought a video game, so I'm gonna talk more about that. So old school tech that you want to make a comeback based on this, we'll get to it next. Could be known Rich
