Speaker 2 (00:22):
There's a lot to get to today.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
We're going to start with the NFL, but to let
you know, Judge and kel Raley, we find that out
later on, so we will discussar.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
We'll go on, hold on.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
We might not find out during this show. I'm hoping
gonna be Fikingmaster. Yeah. But I was talking to Jolly Bush.
He's always eating jolly be. I call him Jolly Bursch,
Jolly Bursch, oh jolly, and he's jolly Jolly Bursch. I
was talking to him at jellyb It's a Filipinos.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
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 b Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
So I was talking to Jolly Bursch and he goes, look,
the nl MVP will probably be given first because it's
so obvious, and.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Then they'll make everybody wait for the al MVP obvious
Do you mean exactly?

Speaker 1 (01:11):
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.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Is MLB gonna bring in Seacrest to be like after
the break?

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:25):
I think so, we'll see either way, we might have
Rob Parker on standby, or you're gonna hear random at
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.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
I'm just being rich.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
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.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
I love Edie.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
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 we.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Again enough credit. Everybody kisses his ass.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Every comedian under the moon kisses Eddie Murphy's ass and
deserving me so and 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.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Eddi's different, though, but he even made a donkey a
good character.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
In a movie. He said, that's I like Eddie Murphy.
But don't act like he doesn't get his credit. He
definitely does. 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

(02:45):
lot of things the schedule releases, No kings. Didn't you
read the protests? Does dope stop in traffic get a job?

Speaker 2 (02:55):
You guys love the rankings.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
I love rank picks USA Today and all the media outlets,
all of us get a job.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
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

(03:24):
and you can't stop me. And did you see the
latest The NFL owners want to put a stop to this.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yeah, they said enough of the report cards.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
In fact, owners like Woody Johnson, they're trying to diminish
the credibility of it. They're saying it's bogus. Actually that's
the quote, right agus.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
Yeah, the Jets owner is leading the way, and well,
you know who wants to stop it created with an F.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
The weak ass owners want to stop it.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
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 bumk 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,

(04:10):
we're on the list number one. 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 there. So your
thoughts on the list? Are you on the list?

Speaker 2 (04:29):
I think this is really cool.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
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 ranked low
and it's like, oh, what a bunch of jealous beach.
There's a lot involved the facility, like you said, how
they treat their kids, not just to welcome their family.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Not just in the NFL.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
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

(05:10):
dynasty that have dominated.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Remember they had some f's Yeah, I remember, like you
know what player medical care.

Speaker 5 (05:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
So for us, it's great fodder, great things to talk about,
and it's fun to speculate. So of course we're gonna
love it. I could see how it rubs the NFL
and the owners the wrong way.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Think about it.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
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, but 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

(05:49):
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 is the Metsic snack.
There was a free snack, a snack wall man, never
ever thinking we all got fat too.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
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. Yeah, Rich is the biggest snacker I.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Know, dude, I'd be ten pounds a half the year
if we have a snack ball. Here's snacks here, but
in a different way. Yeah, maybe they do that on purpose.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Wink wink. Not no, Oh does that mean nothing? Nothing
is behind the scenes.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Oh okay, so no, absolutely, I know what you mean,
and we're joking, of course, But you also have to
factor in I'm not I want a snack wall. No,
you have to factor in the vibe 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 cool, Well, what's the staff like?

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Is everybody friendly? Is everyone cool there?

Speaker 6 (06:49):
Like?

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Do they accommodate you in certain ways? I don't think
a lot of that's factored in.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
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.

Speaker 7 (07:10):
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.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Loreen is great.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Were reaping all the benefits, even the benefits of a
bunch of a bunch of horn dog guys that you know,
Lorrain is like an intelligent, beautiful woman, and all of
a sudden, all these listeners on the country.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
You know, if you were smart, we.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
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
toe socks. Lore could use a new pair, Loraina. Tell
them that you like, uh, you know, turkey jerky and
uh yeah, some things that we want. Yeah, so that

(07:55):
is our snack wall.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
You should do that.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
But yeah, thoughts on that at eight seven, seven nine
on Fox. It's not the biggest deal. But I did
see that story was breaking earlier today that the NFL.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Is like, yeah, we don't know if we'd like the
player in a way.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
All right, I'm just playing Devil's advocate and I'll be
Keanu Reeves.

Speaker 8 (08:13):
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

(08:36):
rude and critical, you should own up to it, Like
it's very cowardly to do it anonymously like that.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
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.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
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,

(09:24):
David sucks.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
That hurts and means.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
A lot more than someone anonymous with no picture profile whatsoever.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
And he's like, rich sucks it just does you know
what I mean?

Speaker 1 (09:34):
So I can't 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 Serious Exam or any place we've worked or work.
They when companies do say hey, put your feedback here,

(09:57):
it's anonymous, like you know, like a blind Don't you
always feel like I'm doing it for my work computer?

Speaker 2 (10:03):
It's really not.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
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 I Heearten 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

(10:27):
I remember one dude did the whole like I got
a complaint, and I remember thinking, like, what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (10:36):
That's a trap? As Danny said, it's a trap.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
He started talking about everything from how much he was
you know, wasn't paid, to snacks in the kitchen.

Speaker 9 (10:45):
To.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Time off and the you know, the studio updates, and
I'm like.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Yo, this guy, what are you dude?

Speaker 1 (10:54):
So you're right, there was something about to say that
guy doesn't work there anymore. He does it, but I
don't think that's why. But it's still like to me,
like in hell, 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

(11:16):
think you're going to 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.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Is there truth to that or not?

Speaker 6 (11:38):
Though?

Speaker 1 (11:38):
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'd have done this. And 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?

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Mean a lot?

Speaker 1 (11:57):
If you, uh, 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.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yeah, that's that's a nice thing to do, especially just
getting started.

Speaker 10 (12:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
I'm not saying I wouldn't do that. Absolutely would. All right,
So your thoughts on this? The NFL report cards?

Speaker 2 (12:28):
I like them.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
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, you're like, 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.
I think it's just fun for sports talk and sports

(12:50):
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

(13:11):
teams that are struggling, because then it just gives more
ammunition for the fans to be liked. That's why look
at they 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

(13:33):
and some owners are gonna say there's no truth to it.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
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 a losing team. Just like how
you mentioned the Chiefs get some low grades.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, I don't think Patrick Mahomes or Kelsey or Andy
Reid or anyone's really uh you know, hate in life
and arrowhead. So you know what your thoughts at eight seven, seven,
nine nine one Fox, We're going to get to some
judge versus cal rally make our final thoughts on that
these billionaires are making rich men at a lot of

(14:15):
a lot of these people. Let's go to JP and Oka.
See okay, see what's up.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
JP.

Speaker 11 (14:22):
We got how you guys doing today?

Speaker 2 (14:23):
What do you think about the report cards? How owners? Like, yeah, yeah,
we're something done with this.

Speaker 11 (14:28):
Oh so I got two things all right? So first
thing you guys are talking about like anonymous like leaving
anonymous notes and things like that. Like I get all that.
I think hiding behind 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.

Speaker 9 (14:46):
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 this situation was his other team.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
That's true. And you know what's interesting what matters to someone? Actually?
You know what?

Speaker 1 (15:06):
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 of.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Me, of means, man of means, man of means.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
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 Diddley squat to someone else, Like we're
talking to one of the guys here, I don't.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
It's anonymous.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
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's right true? We got
one from where are we Danny Jean Oregon. It tells
like a local of our affiliates. Egen, I was gonna say,
you need Rob Parking to slap a logo on it.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
What I'm saying is it someone might say, like.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
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 you can 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
a petty that sounds even though I agree, you know what,

(16:20):
I would love a nice Fox Sports radio zip up fleece,
nice little hoodie or something that'd be nice. You say hoodie,
I did say, Hold, why you don't call it that?
I don't know that's how we say it in New Jersey,
bro sweet hoodie. But like, as long as those checks

(16:40):
are clearing, isn't that the most important? That's how I feel.
I hear you, dude, I'm and listen 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.
Let's say, what's up to Ali Alijandro in Ventura County.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
What's up?

Speaker 5 (16:55):
Many?

Speaker 12 (16:57):
You said?

Speaker 9 (16:59):
Hod Like?

Speaker 12 (17:00):
Did you say you said Hodi's like, you said you
don't rock.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
Hood he said hoodie Like he was like saying, like, like,
ho would someone say with hummus Like almost you said.

Speaker 11 (17:14):
You said that.

Speaker 12 (17:14):
Okay, that's how 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 marble, but she
doesn't go to my marble, or my barber stops cutting
my hair.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
Yeah, I just think 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 saying to protect reality, it protects people.

Speaker 7 (17:49):
Sometimes sometimes you have to be anonymous or be like
have an anonymous source.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Or how about you just stand up for what you
believe in.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Maybe why do you have to hide you 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.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
But there are websites.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
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 Yeah, So it's like
you know again because you.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Didn't like it?

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Know what?

Speaker 12 (18:30):
I hate?

Speaker 1 (18:30):
That's why I don't follow yelp, or as Kevino 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.

Speaker 7 (18:51):
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. No, no, no, no, just go
ahead and just watch it and tell me what think
you were talking about that Kim Kardashian show. I heard
it's so bad it's good, Sam, 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.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
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. Some of the owners,
not the ones in the top ones, getting fs or
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 looked at the comments and
the teacher says something weird about you, You're like, what
the hell was that about?

Speaker 2 (19:30):
He has a weird odor. I remember.

Speaker 7 (19:34):
Teacher saying something about he smells like pickled eggs. It's
like every day.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
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? What does that mean? You know,
as a great schooler. I was like, what does he

(19:59):
What does she mean by I'm a vegetable? What do
I got tomatohead?

Speaker 2 (20:02):
What is that? What does that he mean?

Speaker 1 (20:04):
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.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Anonymously putting a note in a box.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
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 boss knocks on the door something
that's been on my mind and own up to it.
It might have greater impact if he knows who is
coming from.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Well, I think uh, i'd go anonymous.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
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 he has been on my mind. Really could use
some dipsy doodles and so some some Fox Sports Radio
key chains really make a big difference around here at a.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Chance to we get some free Monster Energy drinks. But
does make more.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Impact than some anonymous person because anyone could be an
idiot about that thing.

Speaker 4 (21:14):
So anyway, Well, you guys wield a powerful sword. Because
years ago you complained about the coffee. Look at that
and it's the same exact coffee that coffee.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
And we still got it. So anyway, complaints, report cards,
the end. Now, what are we really doing? Coffee machine here?

Speaker 2 (21:32):
Butt Water? Oh yeah, I know. We're getting ready for
Dan Byer's update.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
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 schoobl and Skiens,
your favorite law firm, as Rich said before school and
Skiens both going to be Yankees soon enough, at least
one of those guys, Skins, says anonymous source. By the way,
speaking up anonymous source, a lot of his teammates are

(22:02):
saying that Skenes often talks.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
About wanting to be a Yankee.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
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.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
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.

Speaker 13 (22:21):
What's up man, Hey, fellas getting shad 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 CJ. Stroud the
quarterback is going to miss Sunday's matchup with the Titans.
Davis Mills gets the start. Raven's quarterback Lamar Jackson back

(22:43):
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 Aya 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.

(23:04):
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 and a Yuk at all
this season.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
Man, good thing they gave him all that money last year.
Huh right, Yeah, it's uh. It stinks that it got hurt.

Speaker 13 (23:29):
But many this hasn't worked out for the forty nine
ers since that move.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
You think pretty soon on Sparks play this weekend, since
I'm gonna be there, Yeah, I think so. I think
there's a little little extra motivation, a little oop.

Speaker 13 (23:41):
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 Piersall is like, I'm going
to practice too. I may come back and play as well.
I have the anonymous source. I can't tell you how
that says. Who can't tell you see what it means.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
It means nothing if you don't know who said it
says who? What if the Empire did a whole update
with fake a out of sources and he could say
a bunch of bs, but it's like.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
It was an anonym source.

Speaker 13 (24:09):
The fake counts on Twitter becoming pretty pretty interesting. They
can catch somebody. Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Interestingly enough, I'm glad you said that, dB, And by
the way, thank you for the update you de man.

Speaker 13 (24:19):
Oh I wasn't done. Oh yeah, no, that's okay. You
guys are just talking about the Cardinals and forty nine
ers if they were done. He's getting more of a covenio.
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.

(24:41):
Back to you guys.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
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 a B.
Lincoln And the reality is the Knicks or what New
York's got buzzing right now with Brunson.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
If that would have been worse, just it would added
to the misery. Yeah, nothing new.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
I heard Dan Patrick into our 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.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Not even the teams. The city too taken a hit,
just not that.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah, gotta be there, got to play their reputation that
it once had. But speaking of the anonymous source, and
it all ties together, perfecto, perfecto. We talked about the
NFL report cards. Danny g you sent me a story.
Was it commito?

Speaker 2 (25:44):
But was it Jennifer Lawrence? Yeah, it's funny with say.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Jennifer Lawrence said that she loves she has like fake
accounts and she likes fighting with fans. Yeah, she likes
control people burner accounts, 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 I call it
Finsta accounts, she says, fake Instagram.

Speaker 4 (26:07):
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, bro?

Speaker 1 (26:17):
I'm not saying guys don't do this, so 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

(26:39):
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 in spy on other people.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
And I don't know, it's a whole racket going on.
It is more of a woman thing.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
I don't know one dude except for Kevin Durant that
has another piece 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.

(27:12):
It's a faceless, nameless as you always say, Rich Egg
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.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
It says you suck.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
Name is Rob Johnson from Wisconsin with a family of four.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
And he's there with his family.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
He's like, you stink because I'm Rob and I listen,
and I'm telling you straight up, that hurts a lot
more than someone who 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 followers pictures like a
firebird with a dog on the road. It's an right

(27:58):
or an egg, Like, I don't care. I will never
even look at that nine inch nails star.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Look at you.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Iosam on the Ones and Tuesdadanny g keeping us in line,
super producing, Covino and Rich live from the Fox Sports
Radio studios. Time for our tire IRAQ play of the day,
and I want to let this little nine inch nails.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Breathe a little bit.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Ooh well, Warriors came back against the Spurs and Jimmy
Butler closed the door.

Speaker 14 (28:28):
Jimmy Butler unguarded casually launches at ferries up three, nobody
was guarding Jimmy Butler. What's seventeen one ten? A mental
error that time by the Spurs.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
Well, that was courtesy of ninety five point seven the
game Warriors Ready Network and that's our tyrec play of
the day.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Big win for the Warriors.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
And for over forty years, ti Iraq's been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
shipped fast and free back by free road hazard protection,
with convenient installation options like mobile tyrons to tirerac dot com.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
We tire buying should be Now.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Look at the clock. It is time to go old school.
Because we're old fools. Let's go there's a certain y.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
What we gonna do is go back.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
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.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Yeah, so we do this every Thursday. We get you involved.
Fox Sports Radio Nations. So beat Island eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox. Because we throw it back, we
reminisce and we put our noggets 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?

(29:49):
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.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
I got a sixteen year old daughter.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Young consumers are ditching smart technology for old technology.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
That's a trend.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
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

(30:32):
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 then counter culture,
and I see firsthand some absolute truth to this in
the form of vinyl.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
My daughter has vinyl. She doesn't even have a record player.
She has vinyl.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
She has Frank Ocean albums, New Deptnes, whatever comes out
she wants to buy. 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.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
School and nostalgic. I think it's artsy they do.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
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.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
I see at firsthand. Who does a level polaroid?

Speaker 7 (31:24):
You get that physical and that comes out a little
like granny is just saying, what is fuzzy nostalgic about
it and very uh trendy. Like I've been to weddings
or family parties and stuff. Yeah, where they have the
photo booth where you get the little strip of pictures
or here, or they have polaroid cameras around the party.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
Your daughter's having her sweet sixteen coming up. Ye you
I don't remind me.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Are you gonna throw those like disposable yellow cameras on
the table code. I'm 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 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

(32:07):
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, what are
they sitting 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 Polaroid camera. But what are you rather a

(32:27):
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 Cara technology is just as good,
and in fact, a lot of it comes out before
Apple technology.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
No, I'm saying they have a good camera. They have
a great camera.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
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 for real, they love the idea of like the
eighties and nineties because there was technology, but it wasn't

(33:07):
really there yet. That's why young kids remembe. They like
readid Nintendo. We could download these old Nintendo games and
you know, it had one hundred games on this little console.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Like people love that stuff. But permanently.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
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 broughtup 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 you know, and rich.

(33:46):
It makes sense to me because I think they live
in a world of soulless art. Like just think of
all the ai ei're surrounded by and the music they
listen to. It's soulless, it's heartless. These digital pictures, yeah
they're great. Even the video games. Yeah, they look amazing
and they're they're they're very interactive and you're so involved
in them, but like they're not that.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
They're fun, but you get lost in them. It's not
sign fun. It's like all treble and no base. Everything
is digital, no analog in their life, right exactly, And
I feel like you need that little bit of of
of tangible analog in your life to bring you a
centered and make you feel like a real person, not
a little wooden boy, not a robot boy.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
You don't want to be a little robot boy. I've
always said that, but.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
No, listen, no one wants to get off their lazy ass,
put on their shoes, drive their car to Blockbuster and
do all that. But there is something to be said
about what we used to feel when we would do that. Right,
you would get your snacks, dude, you'd get your You know, yes,
it's fun to make a Spotify playlist, it's amazing, but

(34:50):
you know what was really cool the art of making
your own playlist on a MEMORYX. Yeah, my eighty six
megamix that I made, and I would hand it off
to my friends and girlfriends and you'd put a lot
of heart into that, and it meant. Remember in the
in the late nineties, you were in high school or college,
you'd burn a CD things means for a girl or
something like dude, I get it. Living in a digital world,

(35:11):
things start to mean less because it's just so easy
to get.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
Instance, you used to make someone like a.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
Montage or a slideshow, it meant you put work and
time into it. Now like you could go to your
phone and go to your photos and like Apple puts
together it's own little music video for you. Like exactly,
you lose the you lose that touch now to prove
what you're saying about the kids wanting some tangible like
I want to I want to touch the product. Due
my daughter is kind of like famous in her circle

(35:39):
of friends because she has spots. Spot was kind enough
to give it to me old school digital camera. I
am not kidding you. It's like when she comes home
from a party, all the kids wait for her to
upload the photos so they can get the old school
feel of a digital photo. Well, you know what, the
what the fun of the old school camera is. There's
something great. It's not as high the QCK is what

(35:59):
we now. I think even those yellow disposable cameras we
spoke of, I believe was it specially Meta Scalco that
does the bit where you'd be at the you were
at the aquarium, shamou would jump out of the water,
and the whole joke is like you take a picture
and you're like, I hope I got it, hope I

(36:19):
got that one, Like you didn't know, and remember, like
I hope no one blinked their eyes in the photo.
You'd go through the you'd go pick the pictures up
in the you know CBS got red eye.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Yeah, I hope that you got a good picture. There
was always one or two where it was your finger.
Yeah the way or weird.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
Now kids could take fifty selfies until they get just
the right one. So maybe they yearn for that old
school spontaneity and unknowing.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
It's it becomes boring after a while.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
So the story was young consumers are ditching smart technology
for old technology. Well, and we're seeing it firsthand. So
we're asking you Fox Sports Radio Nation to get involved
and say Well, if that's the trend, you know it
needs to come back. What else needs to Well, guess what,
She's the biggest pop star in the world. Taylor Kelsey.

(37:05):
By the way, do you think she's gonna take his
name when they do get married. Imagine she did that
and all of a sudden, like the traditional last name
was the thing again.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
What if he took her left? Yeah, Travis Swift.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
Travis Swift, so Travis uh.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Fiance.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
Taylor Swift, the biggest popstar on planet Earth, is the
top selling vinyl album of the century. Her album nineteen
eighty nine did well, but the twenty twenty five album
that just came out this year, The Life of a Showgirl,
has sold Get This Get This over a million vinyl
copies in its first week, so sorlready the platinum, the

(37:44):
most copies of a vinyl record since the early nineties,
since nineteen ninety one. So the idea of these young kids,
these young women, that I want the Taylor Swift tangible.
I want to be able to touch the album and
the inserts and everything. So hey, you could say it's
Taylor Swift, or you could say that this generation does
crave some of that old school feel.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
It's also didn't she release like twenty five different versions
of that same album just to kind of pad the number? Yes,
yes there was different versions and all and everyone.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
Yeah, that's just great, Mark Star, I wanted to just
you know, and that was corny. But Richard, he mentioned
it my number one answer here because I really believe
there's some truth to this. Like my brother, my brother
Tommy said he was up till five am the other
day playing a new game called Arc Raiders on Xbox.
And of course Ryan McBain who works here, Big Time Gamer,

(38:32):
always doing his thing.

Speaker 7 (38:33):
Wow, you know, one of his lesser known nicknames, Ryan
McBain Papa Bear Smith.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
Papa Bear Smith. He's way into the gaming world. I
feel like if young people really gave the games we
played a chance, they would actually appreciate the fun that
they had playing them, you know what I mean, Like
there's a different kind of fun. I'm not saying that
our games are better. I'm not, because clearly they are not.
It was a different level of fun. If they gave

(38:59):
him I would love them to see, you know, some
of the games we played.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
I know they see them. You're right, because some of
them had to be board with them.

Speaker 4 (39:07):
Some of them had to be more creative because the
technology is not advanced. With the graphics and everything we
see nowadays.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
They gave him a chance. They realize why we liked it. Yeah,
but I think they're going to also realize how much
better they have it now. You know what, I have
an example of all this. But let's go to Dan
Byer because there's an NFL story he needs to break.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
Breaking news from Fox Sports San Francisco.

Speaker 13 (39:31):
Forty nine ersaid coach Kyle Shanahan says that Brock Party
will start Sunday in Week eleven against the Arizona Cardinals.
It'll be Perty's third game of the season, as he's
been out with that toe injury. His first game since
playing against Jacksonville in late September. Rock Party back for
the Niners this Sunday in Arizona.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
Rock Party went on to say, I had to do
it from a boy, Rich Davis, see you Sunday bro.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
Home on how hitting is this? Though?

Speaker 1 (39:55):
We call this the Cavino and Rich effect. Thank you,
Dan Byer. You know why we were there for his
first game. We were there when Groppolo went down, Bert
Party came in. The rest was history, so of course
he's gonna play when we're there.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
We were there for the beginnings.

Speaker 1 (40:08):
We were there when I Danny G says, I sort
of stalked him out in the stairwell.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
Of the sort we were at a VIP party. Who's playing,
Danny G. One of your favorite country stars. It was
Luke Combs.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
Luke Combs. I saw Brock Party go down a stairwell
with his beautiful now wife, Yeah, in his boots, and
I was like, Brock, Brock, you made it.

Speaker 4 (40:29):
To you chased him. I heard your feet in the stairwell, said.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
It's me Jessica. It was Party. Turns around. He had
fear in his eyes. Rich. I think I thought the
look at his eyes was like, yo, it's me, my boy.
Who are you? He goes, I'm you twenty years from now.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
So Brock Perty and I had a nice moment. Danny
G was quick to tell him, don't worry, he's a
Fox Sports host, He's not a psycho.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
Thanks, Danny and I had a nice.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
Little moment with Brock per party, and uh, you know,
now he's going to be there when we're there Sunday,
So thank you, Brock.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
That's really cool.

Speaker 7 (41:05):
Rich are you a little worried though that, Like you
change a horse mid stream here and he's gonna come
back and he's be super rusty, like you've been winning
with mac Jones and I listen, they paid brock Party
put him back in place.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
But are you a little worried about it? Well, guess
what you're not gonna do with mac Jones. To be honest,
you're not going to go anywhere in the playoffs. Rock
pretty mac Jones are similar. Rock Party could move around
the pocket. I don't know with his turf toe, but
Rock Party and Mac Jones have a similar skill set
advantage Rock Party that he actually has a ton more
mobility as a guy that watches the Niners.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
Weekend and week out. That's the big difference maker. And
you have to factor in.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
They were in no rush or urgency to put him in,
so he has to be he has to be close
to one hundred percent, you know. Let me text Ricky
Piercell and see if he's on board too, since we're
going on that's awesome.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
What's up? RP? Yeah, let him know.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
So, thank you DV for the breaking news. Now Dan
back back to you know kids, nowaday, Did I just
say kids nowaday punching now a day?

Speaker 2 (42:00):
Oh punch me. He'sading like my grandpa kids nowaday.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
Well, there's there's some old school technology that would be cool,
and then other ones like they were really never cool,
Like they don't need mini discs, they don't need palm pilots,
Like what would be cool for them to experience?

Speaker 2 (42:15):
They don't need a beeper, right, you know? But you know,
how about.

Speaker 4 (42:18):
Ager overall you guys an arcade because yeah, I know
we got Dave and Busters and but we don't have
those the line of eighties arcades and early nineties arcades
that we had.

Speaker 7 (42:30):
There was just something special about tickets. Yeah, the tickets
you get in then you go cash into price counter.
How about pinball machines? Are really old school analog pinball
machines are like a collector's item now because they people
want to put them in their bars, like the retro
are barcades. You know, I want the Rocky, the Rocky
one that PAULI threw a bottle of whiskey through.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
I like that answer, wat I get some day when
we have Dan dan Byer money, Dan Patrick money, and
dan Byer money. I hope to have a man cave
and I can't wait to get a pinball machine like.

Speaker 7 (43:03):
A led Zeppelin pin There's all kinds of pinball machines
and Ozzy Osbourne pinball machine, like all kinds of cool stuff.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
Well, I do think, well, while these things are great,
because I agree the arcade is cool. Maybe the idea
of going up to an NBA Jam Gamer Street Fighter
and having that big video game in front of you,
that's cool. But when I'm playing MLB the show twenty
five with my son and then I look at like
bases loaded, I mean, what are we doing? I think

(43:30):
RBI is more fun than all the It's not though
you can say that. You could say that all doesn't
look as cool, but I feel like it's more fun.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
It's not. I promise you it's not.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
But I do think there's some novelty and the cool
idea of like, yo, I want to go into an
arcade like you used to Dad, that's a great day
out with your kids, and especially you know what these
kids do. You know, it was a big influence even
on my kid, like watching Stranger Things and watching these
kids on Netflix live in the eighties, it's a different
sense of freedom and a different experience of life and

(44:01):
camaraderie that they had that they saw from that show,
and they hear from our stories that they sort of
yearned for, And I think technology took that away. Social
media made them more anti social. So now they're rebelling
toward things that are more tangible and more real.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
The pendulum always swings.

Speaker 4 (44:16):
I like what Rich said, But why can't we marry
the two generations together? For instance, I missed my game
Boy because it had the many cartridges I could I
physically had a collection of the cartridges. Now you have
to download all the games. What if we had your
brand new MLB game in a little cartridge and my

(44:38):
little son CoA could collect the cartridges, but marry the
three married, Yeah, so you can have both experience.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
So it feels it looks new, but it has the
feel of old school technology.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
That's pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (44:50):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 1 (44:51):
My thought is that it's all fun in little short doses,
like long term, I don't think anyone wants to.

Speaker 2 (44:57):
Mixing it up.

Speaker 7 (44:58):
Maybe you have like your really advanced video games, like
what was MLB the show you're playing with your son, Yeah,
and then you have like an old school pinball machine,
or do you guys, remember that game called feed Big
Bertha where you would throw balls into this mouth of
this woman and then this little fan would blow her
dress up. Actually, you get the tickets back and she
the more you hit her little like thing in the

(45:20):
back of her throat, it would you would get points
and tickets.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
Like I just remember that. I'm like, that's man, I
wish we could do that again.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
You know what I would love to subject my kid
to and other kids, like a day without their phone
and like use a regular phone, just to see them
doing that experience, like rolling rolling around the house with
the extra long wire.

Speaker 2 (45:37):
I would be great.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
Wait, you know, I'm gonna look this up, and but
I'm sure I would love for them to deal with it.
You know how you were saying the other day your
brother didn't answer the phone and everyone was like searching
for him. Yeah, we thought he died, because you know
when someone doesn't that. He was a no show at
work and scared the hell out of everybody. My wife
just called me mid show and I was like, oh,
because then your stomach drops, right, I don't. She's like,

(46:00):
how do we pay the pool guy again? That was
the that was the question. So like nowadays, you're so
accessible that if someone calls you during weird time, you
freak out.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
I saw an article, I gotta find this now. Hello, huh,
why are you calling me? My daughter? I can text?

Speaker 1 (46:16):
My daughter asked me, because she saw home flow. My
daughter saw home phones on like an older show she
was watching. She goes, how did you know who was calling?
And I said, buddy, that was the fun of it,
well until we got color Idea, but before that, because
remember the whole like you do be excited, you'd be
like hello, and then it was there was a fun
to it.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (46:36):
Though, based on this tangible, you might see an increase
in DVD sales, Blu Ray sales or something like that,
because I mean, growing up, that was part of your
cribs experience.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
Yo.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
You had Scarface, you had the box set, you had
Blood and Blood Out on DVD. You had your favorites
American history acts, Good Fellas, you had all your favorite
Kang movies. You had them, but you them and it
felt different than like, yeah, I got him downloaded on
my phone, because you actually had it and wanted to
feel it and you could play it whenever you want it.
Maybe we'll see a little comeback of that. I'll tell

(47:09):
you what I know. There's no real value in compact discs,
but I built my career on those, so I kept
like maybe like a thousand of them. That meant a
lot to me, and I have them still in racks
but in storage. My daughter says she wants them for
her like retro rooms someday, you know, because there's something
about not only do I have it in my phone
in some digital file fold or whatever, but I have

(47:32):
this actual pistor of it. Yeah, does that be Yeah,
it doesn't even have to be vinyl or anything. It's
just it's just a piece of something you could hold
and it's yours. Can I tell you I googled this
because we can in twenty twenty five, technology that we
can't neglector realize is great now.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
But I heard it started in twenty ten. Me that's
before that there was no Internet. It's from their Patreon,
as I just said, yeah, so listen to this.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
I just googled landline trend because I know that I
don't know if it's a shark tank item or someone
created recently, like a landline with a cord and everything
that goes through your internet so it's like not old
school but it and it's a way to have your
kids properly learn how to communicate, pick up the phone
and be like hello, oh how are you. Here's what,

(48:22):
like there's a.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
New home phone trend.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
But by just simply googling that every website on planet Earth,
there's like twenty articles that pop up right away about
the re emergence of landlines. And it's simply because millennial
parents are reclaiming the landline for their kids. A lot
of you it's the younger generation there or they're wanting this.
But wasn't there also a recent study where there's a
lot of young people missing out on job opportunities because

(48:47):
they have anxiety of answering the phone, like they have
no communication skills where they're like, oh, I don't know
what to do, and it could be dealing with conversations
with a future employee and just.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
Doing job interviews. I mean, look at them because they've
been look at this.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
There's articles from everything from the Today Show millennial moms
talk about getting home phones to teach your kids independence.
Fox did a thing about why some parents are getting
landlines for their kids. Land lines on the Major Comeback
as families find a way to bond. The dumbest phone
is the dumb phone is now parenting genius a new
article in the Atlantic, So you know, you know what

(49:24):
else should come back? I got one what he got
the boom box? Yeah, I see a lot of dudes too,
like walking around the mall with speakers or whatever. But like,
if you're gonna walk around a mall, it's what a speaker,
you might as well hold the boombox. Are you surprised
that a right give me some good like Bow's or sonos?
Or are you surprised that someone hasn't done a cool,

(49:45):
repical boombox yet, like a white like a Bluetooth.

Speaker 4 (49:47):
Oh, there's a company called bump Box out of Stockton, California,
and your Niners they run out for every home game
carrying the big bump Box.

Speaker 1 (49:54):
Big Tree Williams loves that. But I'm surprised there's not more.
You're like a instead of just your typical bows or so. No,
it's nice wireless speaker that it's shaped like an old
school boom box. Yeah, I could see that coming back
again because they look at this stuff and they think
it's cool. Why wouldn't it everything else is coming back.
These kids are dressing like we did in the nineties.

(50:16):
It's all coming back. It makes sense, and a lot
of it makes sense. Like I said, let's get to
the phones now, get you involved technology that you could
see coming back, that you would like to see come
back based on the trend. Eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox, We'll start with Alex, Florida.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
What's up, Alex, Greater Nation.

Speaker 15 (50:36):
Well, I kind of on time, but I read a
very interesting article yesterday regarding the total amount of hours
that every person has been on call of duty is
greater than the ton of existence of mankind. I can't
wrap my head around it. I'll hang up the phone
and I'll wait for your answer.

Speaker 1 (50:55):
So if you add up the hours that all of
the people, there's no way is that real?

Speaker 2 (51:02):
The source, No, it could be. It could because an
anonymous source.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
If there's millions of people, say, I'm thinking about it.
If there's millions of people that have logged days and
days and days and days on call of.

Speaker 7 (51:13):
Duty, and our population has grown over time, and let's
say it's out numbering how many people are here, like
ten thousand years, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
I guess that makes sense. Maybe that's really hard to
wrap your head around.

Speaker 6 (51:22):
Alex.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
I'm don't have to have to have it, and it's
kind of I don't have to have been edible before
everythink that one essential crisis over here. I always got
a trip in Vegas, trip on thought, a throwback Thursday.
There just seems to be a growing trend in the
younger generation sort of seeking out our old school technology.

Speaker 16 (51:40):
I got a couple of things. They thanks for taking
my call, no problem. So I used to love to
wait in line to get the new album or the
new cassette. But I'll tell you something that that's really cool.
My parents have real to real film of me as
a child, and that's a cool thing to watch when

(52:00):
you have to put that projector together and see that.
Maybe kids would enjoy that.

Speaker 1 (52:05):
You're running real fast, like Babe Ruth around the bases. Yeah,
see yeah, No, it's cool. Yeah, the sound of the
reels moving was pretty cool. Well that is a f
Thanks Babe, Thanks Babe, thanks baby, Hey, thanks Trev. I
appreciate it, man, thanks for the call. Yeah, A lot
of this stuff is fun. Yeah, I think what else

(52:26):
comes to mind? But they still haven't made the technology
these kids have I get it. They just want to
taste of s because it's cool to them. It's like,
oh my god, this is how people used to live.

Speaker 7 (52:34):
And throw back and it's retro an old rotary phone
like it's so if you actually know how to use it,
it's fun. It's it takes a while, but it's fun
to dial the number and you know, go at each
number around the circle.

Speaker 4 (52:46):
I saved my CDs the same way Colino did. They're
also in my storage unit. Why don't new cars still
give you a secondary option of a CD player?

Speaker 1 (52:56):
I mean you might see that in the future if
this continues to be a trend, right otherwise, because there's
no need for with car play.

Speaker 4 (53:02):
Who are you to tell me I can't listen to
my CDs anymore. We're the ones with the money buying
the cars.

Speaker 1 (53:08):
Honestly customized with I mean, I'm not sure to be
a company guy. But with the iHeart app, with serious X,
with Spotify, with Apple Music, and.

Speaker 7 (53:17):
It's kind of dangerous to be sweet. Remember you had
a CD changing your trunk, the six CD changer.

Speaker 4 (53:24):
Now people are just fuxing around with their cell phone, downloading.

Speaker 7 (53:29):
Anything to take your put your hands back on the
wheel while you're driving is probably for the best, you know,
so don't don't pick up your phone and don't pick
up a c.

Speaker 4 (53:36):
But also there's staples. Just leave it alone. Like remember
there were car companies trying to take AM off the
new cars. Yeah, and that's where big companies, broadcasting companies
like no, no, no, you're not taking AM radio out of
new cars.

Speaker 2 (53:51):
You know what else is leading to charge?

Speaker 1 (53:53):
As far as nostalgia, like old school watches, a Cassio watches,
a lot of people are leaning towards Zassle.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
Yeah, anyone, but any sort of.

Speaker 1 (54:01):
Like you know, calculator, old school digital Cassio watch is
sort of a cool retro piece. Did anyone else have
the Casio watch where you could store your friend's phone
numbers in it?

Speaker 2 (54:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (54:11):
Mine dial the phone in the eighties. I always say this,
and nobody believes me. In the eighties, you dreamt this.
This is how it worked. They had look it up.
I had a little speaker on it. Right, it was
a Cassio watch, and it stored numbers and everything. But
you held the old school phone worked on tones, so if.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
It went do do do do do do.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
It would dial that number, right, So all it would
do is like, you know, hey, rich In, Richard's phone
number would be in the watch. You click rich, but
you had to hold the phone up to the watch
and the watch would go dad did dud dud and
it would dial rich just based on the tones. If
you know how the first Apple watch in nineteen eighty eight, dude,
I had, I was like Inspector gadget Bro in the eighties.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
Swear to god it was.

Speaker 1 (54:49):
It was Marty McFly with the with the first you
wouldn't dial from the watch, the watch would dial your phone.

Speaker 2 (54:55):
That's cool. Yeah, you know.

Speaker 7 (54:56):
The first touch screen in a car was the nineteen
eighties six Buick Riviera. Oh wow, So that technology at
the time was never It was nowhere. But and people think, oh,
like touchscreens are in cars now. It actually started like
forty years ago. We could tie this back to sports,
was it? Kek Hernandez recently at the Dodger parade on

(55:16):
one of the buses with his.

Speaker 4 (55:17):
Little Yes it was. He busted out his little camquarder
in the.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
Same camquorder that Alf had during the opening credits of ALF. No,
but I can see that making a comeback. Yeah, I
definitely could. And you know what Danny g You said,
like married, marrying the two worlds, you could digitize those things. Hey, Como,
why don't you tell your daughter that you're going to
cancel her expensive videographer for threet sixteen And I'm uncle
Rich'll be there with a camp corner. Don't worryt Rich.

(55:45):
Didn't you get your calling oscby with a camp quarter?

Speaker 2 (55:46):
I did, true story.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
I went on Big Kevin McAllister, Oldcat's nineteen eighties camp quarterer. Yeah,
so anyway, the rest of your phone calls at eight seven,
seven ninety nine out Fox. Let's wrap up old school
in fifty hits. That's Greg and Iowa. Hey Greg, what's up?

Speaker 2 (56:06):
Greg.

Speaker 5 (56:06):
There's a place in South Dakota called Wall Drug. Love it, man,
It's what it is is basically the giant western looking
strip mall. It's huge, and all they have there is
old school nostalgic carnival games, you know, like where you
roll the ball down the thing and it goes into
the hole of your horses. Yeah yeah, and then they

(56:30):
still got like the real quarter machines with the quarter
pusher where you actually winning money inst the state.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
I know we're on in Colorado where you got some
affiliates there.

Speaker 1 (56:37):
That's play that old Western like target practice where you
shoot the guy and they starts playing a piano.

Speaker 2 (56:44):
Wal drug is awesome.

Speaker 1 (56:45):
We got to tourist track broadcast it's worth its and stuff.
There's a place in Colorado Springs Manitou Falls, and they
have like a cool old school arcade there as well,
like in that whole city sort of old school. But yeah, listen, man,
I think these things are great. A touch of nostalgia
never hurt no one and the kids. The point is,
if you're just joining us, there's a big trend in

(57:07):
if you got teenagers or young kids. Young consumers are
ditching smart technology and they're going after the old technology
of our childhoods. They're fascinated by landlines and you know,
flip phones and old cameras and polaroid. If they want
tangible things, handheld things, you think a discman or a
walkman is probably retro. I would think so, because think

(57:28):
about like a high school party. Some kid busts out
a discman. Everyone's like, what's that? And he's got some
retro vibe about him. Look cool, that might be cool.
He's like, yeah, it's got megabas and anti skip. You
guys don't even know a bass booster. Yeah, it runs
through like Douba batteries every five minutes. But you guys
don't know what you're missing at on you might have

(57:49):
to go to Costco to actually get batteries, if that's
how much burns them. Daniel and Mississippi wrap this up?

Speaker 2 (57:54):
What's up? Daniel?

Speaker 6 (57:55):
Hey, what's happening?

Speaker 9 (57:56):
Guys?

Speaker 6 (57:56):
Hey, thanks for what y'all do. Yeah, for sure, I
enjoyed the show every time. But rest in peace, marsh On,
Lee Neeland, y'all call your people, love on your people.
I feel like that's important. But my technology, uh not bad,
out of date, but bring back uh video games in

(58:16):
the living room. I don't want to play with my
buddy online. I want to drink some beers, hang out
with my guy, you know, play a campaign and uh
you know maybe once every three months, you know, just
be able to get some face to face. And I
feel like kids are missing out on that. You know,
a bunch of online gaming.

Speaker 1 (58:32):
Its games got so complex that, you know, like there's
something you said about the old school, like, hey, there's
twelve boards you have to get past all of them
and you win and you beat the game like that's
I just feel like other games really have and you
got to start all over. How about that you die,
you start from the beginning. Give him some of that.

Speaker 2 (58:52):
Let's talk about the NFL. I will shame you all.

Speaker 7 (58:57):
I was giving you the I was giving you the
pack Deman dying so and I the wrong time NFL.

Speaker 1 (59:02):
I'll give you five bucks right now if you can
name me all the ghosts I pack Man.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (59:09):
Wasn't like Blinky Pinky Blanky, thinky Winky and the Clyde
or something. That's my guess. That's stinky. That's you when
Ricky walked in here. So let's let's talk some NFL
Sam Heym. Some majestic NFL music is this week week eleven.

(59:33):
There's a few games that are that are so telling.
And I'm gonna tell you what's gonna happen to you? Not
only am I. I'm gonna look at my crystal ball.
I be no Strae Davis and let you know what's
gonna happen. Says three games, actually five. There's three big ones,
but two other little ones that I think are gonna
be like you don't want to talk about the Jets
Patriots tonight. That's an a f C East battle for

(59:53):
the Agent for the Ages. All right, Wait, here's the
games that are gonna be so telling. They're gonna tell
the picture of the NFL for the rest of the year. Broncos,
they're at home. They have a chance to be nine
to two and throw the Chiefs back to five hundred
and five and five. So in my mind, I say,
Broncos they stomp, they break the Chiefs this week in Denver.

(01:00:18):
So I like the Broncos. That's a big telling game. Hey,
but if the Chiefs win, then it's all of a sudden, like,
oh man, the Chiefs are pulling back in their division.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
They could do it. I think the.

Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
Lions remind the Eagles that, hey, we're also one of
the elite teams of the NFC.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
That's a big one. Lions gonna be playing the Eagles.
I like the Lions. There.

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
Hold on, did you see that story about AJ Brown
saying that everything's not okay in Philadelphia right now? The
Eagles wide receiver also added, if you've got me on Fantasy,
get rid of me, and the story was, well, the
defending champs be able to patch things up with their
star player before the playoffs. So you know when you
read and hear things like that, he's saying, it's an

(01:00:55):
s show with the Eagles right now, like you don't
feel real confident telling So I'm loving and the Lions
reminding us that they are elite in the NFC. Bronco
is going to break the hopes and dreams of Chiefs
fans that think that the Chiefs may you know, make
the postseason. But I like the Broncos at mile high.
Matthew Stafford could very well make an early bid to
wrap up the MVP race if he puts on a show.

(01:01:17):
And that's that's the NFC West Battle, it's it's Rams
hosting the Seahawks. If Matthew Stafford plays big, he's the
favorite to win the MVP and they'll be in first
place with the best reckon in the NFC. So Rams
right there, And I'll give you one more little bonus
one you and I talked about. Are the Steelers falling

(01:01:37):
apart in front of our very eyes?

Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
Lost three?

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
Or yeah, they're playing the Bengals. If the Bengals somehow, somehow, no,
come on, if the Bengals somehow beat the Steelers. It's
only five and a half points. Dude, It's not like
a gimme. If the Steelers lose and the Ravens Steelers
and men, the Ravens will beat the Browns. Would you
believe where they're at five and five after ten games

(01:02:01):
and that whole like Ravens starting one and five they're done?
Would be it be we'd be right back to you know, zero?
All right, Well, I want to hear your thoughts on
Thursday Night football, but not really because I also want
to talk MVP.

Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
No one cares about Thursday the Jets Patriots.

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
Well, i'll tell you what we got the best in
the game on standby.

Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
Rob Parker from BRO.

Speaker 10 (01:02:23):
That's right, because you need to know, and we need
to know who's going to be the American League MVP.

Speaker 2 (01:02:28):
They're they're dragging their feet on this.

Speaker 1 (01:02:30):
Huh I dude, I'm like Mark Anthony, I need to know, right,
I need to know.

Speaker 10 (01:02:34):
I just think they're like they got one where it's
it's not obvious, and we knew that Otani who was
already named National League MVP, so that was like anti climactic.
So the one that they have what is really some
question mark and I'm sorry, I don't know how Aaron
Judge is not going to win.

Speaker 2 (01:02:53):
I'm dead serious.

Speaker 10 (01:02:53):
And that now people are talking about how Kyle Rawley
frames the ball and now the catcher is the most
unbelievable player on baseball, like they're trying to make a
case because the numbers just don't stack up.

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
Yeah, I don't like that angle too, like the sympathy angles,
like but he's a catcher.

Speaker 10 (01:03:14):
He only had one pass ball, like they're doing anything.

Speaker 1 (01:03:18):
You know what is like think about like the Oscar
sometimes like they feel like, well, we didn't give it
to him for this, or like sometimes talent and that's
not the main factor. They're like, oh, we didn't give
him the war for this, or he's got to get
this a charity award almost like a like a.

Speaker 10 (01:03:33):
Yeah, like participation trophy, we give it out, Like here's
rich Why I think this is bad if he doesn't
get it because he would be the third player to
win three m vps in four years. The other two
players are Barry Bonds and Old Tani. He should be
in that light, not where you're giving a one off

(01:03:53):
and I'm not cal Ray and you gonna repeat this year,
next year.

Speaker 1 (01:03:56):
Come on, man, this is That's what I'm saying, is
at the sentiment there where they're like, well, Judge will
be back. So subconsciously it's like, you have Rob's a
man who's built his career in headlines. What's a better
headline for baseball as a brand? The first guy or
the third guy ever to do this with those names,
with those names company, that's a bigger headline. That's a
bigger and better story. And he has the numbers to

(01:04:18):
back that up. Look at his numbers.

Speaker 10 (01:04:20):
Anybody who really thinks this is like some New York bias,
you haven't been following Aaron Judge betted three thirty one
with power.

Speaker 2 (01:04:29):
You know what the average batting averages the Major.

Speaker 10 (01:04:31):
League, but too forty two He betted three thirty one.

Speaker 1 (01:04:36):
Two forty two used to be weeks on. You notice
now two forty two is in the league average. You
know his on base percentage four point fifty seven. He
gets on base almost forty five percent. Not only did
the time, not only did he beat Cal Rowley in
most categories, he led the league in most categories except
for what the seven home runs that more than fifteen
rbs or whatever, and Judge missed ten games.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
That's all Rich. I know you got a soft spot.

Speaker 3 (01:05:00):
I know.

Speaker 1 (01:05:01):
I'm just I'm in between on this because I I
really think it has to be judged. I'm not thinking
the right way, which is why a guy like me
doesn't get a vote. I'm thinking like cal Raley's never
going to be in this position again. I don't think
Aaron Judge could win like every year. All right, but
Aaron Judge got robbed in twenty seventeen when now Tuva
beat him.

Speaker 2 (01:05:17):
That was Aaron Judge's MVPCS.

Speaker 1 (01:05:18):
So while he does, he deserves this even more moms
as seven seven, Tony could catch him by Oh no,
he's got four now.

Speaker 2 (01:05:27):
Right easily.

Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
