Speaker 1 (00:11):
Welcome to Part two of the Social Team Takeover of
the forty nine Ers Inside the Old podcast, presented by
Dignity Health. We're here with Director of Social Media Johnny Volk,
Senior Social Media Producer Nigel McWilliams, and Social Media Coordinator
Kiana Horodo. I'm your host Patti Kwan, and I'm Haley Jones.
And if you haven't already, make sure you go back
and listen to part one. Otherwise we're going to go
(00:33):
ahead and give out some social awards. Haley take it
away in honor of your SPJ nomination. I thought we'd
close out by doing of forty nine ers social Media
Team Awards as like a little spin. So first off,
you guys need a fan shout out, you need a
(00:53):
walk out. You need a player who's going to do
something for you. Who's your go to content Guy Kittle
Fred or George George Yeah, I think I tweeted this
when he signed his big contract extension. It's like rarely
is like the best player of the team, also the
(01:13):
best for social. You look at other teams and maybe
someone's really good on social, but they're not like a
star or like the star players won't give you time
a day, like George is always down to help. So yeah,
even when we were at NFL Honors looking for guys,
you know, getting guys come by, he literally points and says, hey,
there's like guys and comes over and does an interview
(01:34):
like I'm just like you don't. Guy's amazing, great athlete,
Like he's so well on camera, and I just have
a lot of respect for him and love what he
does on field and love how he helps us as well.
So on the flip side of that, who's most likely
to avoid your cell phone or camera? I mean, I'm
(01:54):
sure Mitch Wishnowski doesn't want a camera in his face
such a game, which would be kind of funny to
just go to the puncher after like a forty to
twenty win or something. But I don't know, most of
the guys are pretty good. I maybe some of the
Shire guys don't want to be like doing a selfie video,
but they'll be hyped coming off the field. Yeah, I
don't know. That's a horrid one for me. I was
(02:16):
gonna say Mitch just because he just kind of seems like, hey,
I'm here to play football, you know, and he's like
he that's like that's his demeanor now, you know, I
know he has like a light aside. But yeah, I
was gonna say Mitch. But when I saw already did
that dude in Denver, I was like, I'm not gonna
you know, he's just hit hit Nawski. It's stick babe. Actually,
(02:37):
um Culti mcimots I was talking to him. He was
like totally into the conversation. I was like, hold on,
let me record this for social like I need it,
and he was like, no, who's most active with at
forty nine ers George George George, and like on multiple platforms. Yeah,
like Twitter, he's known for like saying happy bird Day,
(03:01):
and we're typically tagged in those as well, So I'll
see those notifications and then Instagram. Not only will you
see his comments publicly, he will like dm us about
some content or like respond to our stories and things
like that, where he's literally just interacting with like at
forty nine ers, like us, the people in this room,
(03:21):
which is pretty funny. I think it wasn't the draft
last year he tweeted, I don't know, I just work here,
and we use that as yes, well you know what
admins are thinking during the Jeff, we don't know, we
just work here. Who has the best overall social media presence?
I'm going to shout out my boy Tabor, who also
could have been a good answer for my go to
(03:43):
content guy. Yeah, I don't think. I think the long
snapper position is probably underrated in terms of like fan familiarity,
but I think the fact that we have a pretty
active long snapper on social says a lot like his
like I'm Staying in the Bay video has like half
(04:04):
a million views, which I think is quite impressive. I
couldn't name another long snapper in the league, So shout
out Tabor. I think he has a good social presence
because he actually is posting things that he cares about,
aka Pokemon cards. So I think when it's authentic, you know,
it's not all ads and branding things like that, and
(04:28):
you're actually interacting with fans in the comments on Twitter
and things like that, I think that makes for a
very good social presence. He's also you know, he shows
his family and his dogs and things like that. So
shout out my guy Tabor. Yeah, shout out table Yeah.
Really really cool, energetic guy, very very good on camera
too as Well's so he helps us create a lot
(04:49):
of cool content. Like I remember in I think it
was the beginning of this year, we did the spiled
spiled a t and also training Camp. We did something
for train to Camp. It was score Madden. Yeah, that
was my man's ratings up. That was pretty clear respect
on his Madden rating yea seven. And he had fun
(05:11):
with it too, like he had like he had fun
with it and it became some awesome content. So I
admire that George is so active and like it's constantly posting.
I also admire Nick Bosa's just a sense of unbothered
nous and does not care about social and sometimes like
I need to be more like Nick Bosa not be
on my phone all the time. And he just doesn't,
(05:34):
you know, care for it. So it's kind of nice.
But yeah, life goes on. It's what we do, but
it shouldn't be like who we are necessarily. That actually
leads me perfectly to my next question. Out of the
four of you, outside of work hours, who's on social
media the most? I would I don't think I am.
Should we check her screen time? Oh? I feel like
(05:57):
the TikTok girly would be. It depends on what I'm doing, though,
because like sometimes I do just take a break. Ooh
not according to my phone though back yesterday cut that out.
Daily average five hours and sixteen minutes. I don't really
look at my screen time. I got four hours in
(06:18):
twenty six minutes. How do we get there? Yesterday? Yeah, okay,
I'm at six hours twenty four minutes. Can someone walk
Patty through how to get to her screen time? Settings, settings,
crying time? Okay? If we look at the work phone though,
forty eight minutes? Oh see all activity? He only works
for forty eight minutes yesterday. Oh no, this is just
(06:42):
like average for the week. Sorry, Johnny, what did your say?
So yesterday was like six hours, Wednesday was four and
then pretty heavy on Twitter and I used to read
it a lot. I know that we don't like have
our team read it account, but it's like super helpful
for vacation planning, for life tips. So shut I wrote it. Okay,
(07:05):
it says I used Instagram for seven hours and forty
two minutes in the week. Is that a lot? My
week time for TikTok is seven hours and forty minutes.
So I beat you by two minutes. Unbelievable. Yesterday mons
was five hours and fifty minutes. Which social media network
was the most most Facebook? I told you I'm og
(07:27):
Facebook user. Yeah, come on, Mark, you're just doing the
Facebook poke playing Jena Poker. No, Man, I mean, like
I said, like, I'm more familiar with Facebook, like as
that was my first kind of becoming myself, like letting
people see me who you know, for who I was,
(07:47):
and not being a phrase kind of. That's why I
went with the I don't know a big huge power
in just fan man, and I think we can show
that I clearly do not work in social media. Last
week I spent two hours and twenty five minutes on Instagram, AM,
and that was my most That seems healthy. That's why
you answer my DM on I probably Yeah, I got you.
(08:09):
I wonder what Nick Bosa's screen time is. It's like
zero zero. He would be a good one to for
the most likely to avoid the camera, Like he doesn't
actively avoid it, but he also doesn't like actively engage it.
So I think he's actually a good most likely to
avoid the camera guy who I don't think you've ever
gotten like a selfie shout out from Nick? I think
(08:31):
I got one at the draft the night he was drafted.
But yeah, you're gonna like no, that was with Keana neverwine.
Oh you're gonna like me guarantee you. Yeah, Johnny used
to work at Men's Warehouse. Okay, what's your favorite away stadium? Oh, Vegas?
(08:53):
Vegas for sure. That that stadium was really nice. I
mean from how big it was. And the food was
really good too, Like, dude, they had steak, had steak.
I don't think y'all realize, like how important it was
me that was steak, Like I was fueled up, and
they had potatoes and then they had like some good
(09:14):
like lemonade or something they have back there. But the
stadium was so nice, like the video boards, their graphics
package were really nice. Like it's just everything tiddy and
so well. So yeah, I love Seattle. It's like downtown,
you can walk to it. It's open air, like the
environment obviously huge rival so you know they're avid fans
(09:38):
bias like Seattle, you know, vibe going on. I don't
like going through it, but being on the field for
it so far was really good because we have a
lot of traveling fans and it felt like a home
game and like just the look of it, it's like
very well lit inside and it was that was cool. Yeah.
(09:59):
From this that perspective, so fi like the video board
is massive and so high quality. The lighting in there
like is just so this emoji if you can input
this in the video chef's kiss um. I think from
a like really cool, just like not once a kind
(10:22):
of once in a lifetime, just bucket list type stadium
would be Lambo Um. I think the situation for it
too was just like you know, playoff game at Lambo
in the snow, odds are against us, like six seed
being a one that's stadium. Also because it's so close
to what was that burger place I went, I got
(10:46):
a speaking of burgers before the game, walked over to
Krolls to get an infamous butter burger, and now I'm obsessed,
Like I don't constantly eat butterburgers here. I don't think
they're available. I don't want to make my own. But
that experience of just like walking across the street, grabbing
(11:08):
a butter burger, going back to Lambeau and then experiencing
the snow globe that we kind of did, like that
was like definitely like a bucket list item for me.
Honorable mentioned US Bank in Minnesota. Also good lighting, great
lighting in downtown. I like the downtown stadiums because there
(11:28):
are a few and far between. But it's just nice
when you have stuff to do as a fan before
and after and open air. Right press box Minnesota is
opening your press box here. Yeah. Going back to Lambeau,
we talked about that earlier in the podcast where it
was it was it was fairly chilly. What's the worst
weather game you guys have had? Kenana's never had a
rain game, so that needs to change, does it? Though?
(11:53):
That one game was a fifty seven, was a little uncomfortable.
My hands were so cold. I know we talk about
snow and rain a lot. I will flip this on
its head. I'm gonna go ahead and say Tampa Bay
Week one twenty nineteen season wasn't so hot and humid,
(12:14):
and then I know you went to sinc after, which
was like insanely hot. But you know, and not talking
about like the wet games or the snow games. Like
being uncomfortably hot I think is also just as bad. Yeah,
when you're sweat and just standing there trying to live,
when you're fighting for your life. Yeah, I'm just breathing
(12:35):
in arresting heart rate. I'm dripping sweat. That's true. We
don't take Yeah, the Bay Area, we definitely pay for it,
but not having to do with humidity and all that.
Houston also pretty rough. I remember we had joint training
camp there a few years ago and all the guys
are in the ice bath getting ivs and I was
just like, and I'm like, maybe I need one. I'm
just doing social media. I don't know. I had had
(13:00):
a very warm game yet, but I think the whatever
rain game, I was soaked and I got sick. Yeah, no,
and yeah, like I said, yeah, y'all, y'all right, Like
South is very hot and human, and I'm sorry about that.
I'm so sorry. Yeah. I like to preface this that
I'm from South Florida, so I feel like that doesn't
(13:22):
bother me. But night games here gets really cold and
I'm down there with like hand warmers. People probably think
I'm ridiculous, but it gets pretty chilly here. Like I
think it was a December game, so that was bad
for me. Yeah, A double layer come Levi's man, Lululemon.
(13:44):
Good luck. If there was an is there an alumni
you wish We're on the team now. From a social
media perspective, who do you wish you could you could
get on the at forty nine ers? Uh? Spice, spice atoms, yeah,
spice atoms. Yeah. The dude is hilarious. I actually got
(14:07):
to meet him at the Golden Heart of Fun thing
that covered h with t and like he was just
so chill. He was just so like happy to be there.
He had his family. But I mean, dude's content has
been rocking and rolling for like three or four years now,
and I mean he's good at what he does, but
(14:27):
it'd be fun to work with him on some content. Yeah. Um,
I mean he's here all the time, so he makes
his way into content and it's Jerry Rice has the
time of his life at games and it's really funny
to like grew not funny, but like fun to watch
him just really enjoying the game, getting into it. He
(14:49):
does pregame postgame like man's there still running a hundred
yard dash. I think had he been able to play
during social media, No, he's on Twitter now, but TiO,
what do you have? Captioned his photo of him standing
on the Star. Once he gets the locker room and
the social team socialize him the photo. You know, it
just would have been like chaos. So I've kind of entertaining.
(15:11):
So that's my pick. I'll say a recent alumni, Joe Staley.
I think, you know, for an offensive lineman to be
as like outgoing as he is is very hard to
come by. And everyone loves Joe and the Joe Show,
and I think he would be a great alumni too.
(15:32):
I mean, he was here for social content, so but
if we could continue with him, that'd be cool. Okay.
Last one, besides your phone or camera, if you could
only have one other thing with you on the sideline
for an entire game, what would it be a little
contraption to hardwire into the internet necessity? Okay, that or
(15:58):
you're like portable charger one gotta go. I have two phones,
so I get away with this. Luckily I can just
swap phone, so I'm still taking the hard wire. Yeah,
from a work standpoint, chargers like external battery from a
personal standpoint. Snacks if you're cold or draining. Used to
(16:20):
have some good snacks in the vests, so you double vest,
you know, put put a king size, family size, but
you're you're you're seven good snacks. Yeah, I was gonna
say the same thing, like water, Just give me some water.
I just want to stay hydrated because a lot of
people don't know, a lot of camera guys cramp up
because they're profusely sweating all the time. So you gotta hydrate,
(16:42):
I know, especially if you're running around the field. Like
shout out to all the video videographers that are running
around grabbing content. I know how it is, but a
bottle water, it does not matter to temperature as long
as it as long as it hydrates. Yeah, I'm gonna
go portable charger. I don't know why. I just like
(17:03):
take it personally when my phone dies and so like,
I I get really I just get upset, like I
don't know if it's I get upset at the phone
or myself. It's just like I don't like, how did
I let it get this far? You know? And so
portable charger for sure, R you gotta refeat that again.
You got you gotta defeat that again. And I took
(17:30):
that personal. Kattie's fighting her phone on the sideline when
it died. I get really, like like my phone was
at like three percent last night and I was like,
how did I how did it? How did we get here.
How many phone chargers do you have? Like you own?
I own a lot, but not all of them work.
Like there's my trusted ones that I know will work,
(17:50):
so like I have a bunch, but like checks out.
So like I have my one. It's an anchor. It's
on Amazon on that I go too, but for Green Bay.
So I didn't know this, Like when your phone is cold,
it dies quicker. I think. Actually Huff told me that,
like the week of He was like, you know your
(18:11):
phone dies quicker than the cold, And I said, I
did not know that, Thank you. So I actually brought
like two portable chargers. I have this one that's like orange,
and it's huge. It's like a brick. And I remember,
I've had this for a while. I don't even know
if it still works. I took it with me to
Coachella in twenty sixteen, and that thing kept my phone
charged all three days of Coachella, so shout out. I
(18:33):
don't know what brand it is. I can look it up,
but now I use an anchor. It usually works for
like one day, so like it's not super heavy duty,
but it is good enough for like a game day.
Does the orange thing have like a blue light. Yes
it does. I have that one. Yeah, if that thing
survived everything I ever that one since so when I
lived in Florida would go to Orlando and the theme
(18:54):
parks a lot, and that thing was a trooper. Yes,
mine's all dented and stuff. I gotta see if it's
still works. I definitely have it. I'm gonna I'll boot
it up to night and see if it if it works,
but yes, that's the one. It's seen some things. It's
gotten tense on it having. I know I said that
was the last question, but thinking of chargers that don't work.
(19:15):
What were all of you guys's first phones? Oh, this
might date me. My first phone was with Singular now
known as AT and T the Little Orange Guy. It
was a flip phone. I remember I bought a case
for it at the mall. It was like a Michael Jordan.
(19:37):
It had like the Air Jordan on it and like
twenty three. Because I was I was hollowed to the
baller at the time, so naturally I had to get
the Michael Jordan phone case. It was a flip phone.
I think I I didn't have unlimited texts at the time.
I think my parents gave me like twenty five. Never
really used T nine, but that was my first phone.
(19:58):
I remember I bought a little like keychain at Claire's,
these little like dangly like brown like sparkly balls because
they look like basketballs naturally. And I would hold this
phone in a little roxy like case, not even case,
but like a little purse that was meant for like footphones.
(20:19):
It like it just reeked of the two thousands. Uh
Like the photo quality was so bad, but that's when
you were taking like the selfies that are you know,
not mirror selfie. I don't know. It was crazy. That
was one first one I had, I think a Nokia
and I was one of the ones that then one
(20:40):
of them pop slide out keyboards, so like for the
people at home, I got one of these phones with
like though you could be c cards in the back.
That's probably why I like it, because it feels like
my Nokia. Down Check two seven called I had a
BlackBerry um your first phone. Yeah yeah, it was well,
(21:02):
like I said, my dad worked at u um IP
International Paper and so like he would give me like
his old phones and I had like the I had
like the og BlackBerry and one with like the scroll
button on the side, and so I would like play
like games like and it'd be so frustrating because you know,
you're trying to figure out how to Then once you
(21:23):
get the use of it, used used to it, and
you know it makes a lot of sense. But yeah,
I had a from BlackBerry Motorola Razor. I don't forget
about the motor the raids of customizable cases yeah, um.
But other than that, yeah those two. I had the
Nokia UM, the one that you could play Snake on. Yeah,
(21:46):
that was mine. But like the UM, there was the
older version I got. I had the newer one that
like the it lit up white for like the keyboard,
but honorable mentioned to the Sidekick because I missed being
able to flip the keyboard the screen keyboard around. I
was always jealous of the kids who had the Sidekick,
but that was only on T Mobile, and like we
(22:08):
were on Singular, slash AT and T so I didn't
get that. I didn't have the luxury of let me
just text, all right, And I'd be like, well, I
gotta slide open pod and the kids with the flip
open phone and be like, I got this thing like
the little brom meme where he's taking the photo. That's open.
Fun fact about the Nokia brick. My phone got stolen
(22:31):
in high school, like my BlackBerry, and so my dad
to get me a new phone. Joked, he was like,
I'm gonna get you like an old school Nokia, and
I thought he was joking. He actually bought one, like
on eBay probably, I don't even know if Amazon was
a thing. He bought one on eBay and that was
my phone until I was due for like an upgrade
or something like that. So like I had this archaic
(22:52):
phone when everyone else had Blackberries, and like maybe the
iPhone three? Is that the first generation? Um and so,
But it was because people were like, oh can you
play Snake on this thing? That was the best game. Yeah,
I wish I could find a good version. Do you
think you still have your phones laying around anywhere at home? Oh?
No way, couple, I doubt it. We should. We should
(23:14):
work throwback game with them. I think I might have
like sim cars, say BlackBerry. Yeah, have you ever looked
back on your BlackBerry pictures? Though? Those things are so grainy?
Nobody wants to see that. Oh yeah, I've got a
fee on here transfer a little data. So picture of
me and my adult I like it. I think one
of you should have to use some random phone for
(23:35):
the throwback or imagine the phone can do y. I
don't even do you remember the motor roll of Razors
had the camera on the front though too, so that
you could use the little yeah yeah, and look at
your the camera did that even take video? Like? I
feel like it was all just photo. It could have
just been photo, but regardless, they listen. So I just
(23:58):
realized we came up with a cool content piece, right,
So was handing the guy an old ass phone and
then telling them, hey, like have him do something with it. Yeah,
like this phone was made the year you were born. Two,
Like take a take a selfie screenshot with it? Posted
That actually would be funny if we got things that
came out when these guys were born. Yeah, and see
if they like know, how do you let us go
(24:20):
to the entire end segment? Yes, all right, let's do
it anything else for us? All right? Team, thank you
so much for coming onto the podcast and speaking with us.
This was like really fun. This was so fun. I
really liked this format. This is a very enjoyable episode.
Thanks you y'all. Thanks, thank you.
Welcome to Part two of the Social Team Takeover of
the forty nine Ers Inside the Old podcast, presented by
Dignity Health. We're here with Director of Social Media Johnny Volk,
Senior Social Media Producer Nigel McWilliams, and Social Media Coordinator
Kiana Horodo. I'm your host Patti Kwan, and I'm Haley Jones.
And if you haven't already, make sure you go back
and listen to part one. Otherwise we're going to go
(00:33):
ahead and give out some social awards. Haley take it
away in honor of your SPJ nomination. I thought we'd
close out by doing of forty nine ers social Media
Team Awards as like a little spin. So first off,
you guys need a fan shout out, you need a
(00:53):
walk out. You need a player who's going to do
something for you. Who's your go to content Guy Kittle
Fred or George George Yeah, I think I tweeted this
when he signed his big contract extension. It's like rarely
is like the best player of the team, also the
(01:13):
best for social. You look at other teams and maybe
someone's really good on social, but they're not like a
star or like the star players won't give you time
a day, like George is always down to help. So yeah,
even when we were at NFL Honors looking for guys,
you know, getting guys come by, he literally points and says, hey,
there's like guys and comes over and does an interview
(01:34):
like I'm just like you don't. Guy's amazing, great athlete,
Like he's so well on camera, and I just have
a lot of respect for him and love what he
does on field and love how he helps us as well.
So on the flip side of that, who's most likely
to avoid your cell phone or camera? I mean, I'm
(01:54):
sure Mitch Wishnowski doesn't want a camera in his face
such a game, which would be kind of funny to
just go to the puncher after like a forty to
twenty win or something. But I don't know, most of
the guys are pretty good. I maybe some of the
Shire guys don't want to be like doing a selfie video,
but they'll be hyped coming off the field. Yeah, I
don't know. That's a horrid one for me. I was
(02:16):
gonna say Mitch just because he just kind of seems like, hey,
I'm here to play football, you know, and he's like
he that's like that's his demeanor now, you know, I
know he has like a light aside. But yeah, I
was gonna say Mitch. But when I saw already did
that dude in Denver, I was like, I'm not gonna
you know, he's just hit hit Nawski. It's stick babe. Actually,
(02:37):
um Culti mcimots I was talking to him. He was
like totally into the conversation. I was like, hold on,
let me record this for social like I need it,
and he was like, no, who's most active with at
forty nine ers George George George, and like on multiple platforms. Yeah,
like Twitter, he's known for like saying happy bird Day,
(03:01):
and we're typically tagged in those as well, So I'll
see those notifications and then Instagram. Not only will you
see his comments publicly, he will like dm us about
some content or like respond to our stories and things
like that, where he's literally just interacting with like at
forty nine ers, like us, the people in this room,
(03:21):
which is pretty funny. I think it wasn't the draft
last year he tweeted, I don't know, I just work here,
and we use that as yes, well you know what
admins are thinking during the Jeff, we don't know, we
just work here. Who has the best overall social media presence?
I'm going to shout out my boy Tabor, who also
could have been a good answer for my go to
(03:43):
content guy. Yeah, I don't think. I think the long
snapper position is probably underrated in terms of like fan familiarity,
but I think the fact that we have a pretty
active long snapper on social says a lot like his
like I'm Staying in the Bay video has like half
(04:04):
a million views, which I think is quite impressive. I
couldn't name another long snapper in the league, So shout
out Tabor. I think he has a good social presence
because he actually is posting things that he cares about,
aka Pokemon cards. So I think when it's authentic, you know,
it's not all ads and branding things like that, and
(04:28):
you're actually interacting with fans in the comments on Twitter
and things like that, I think that makes for a
very good social presence. He's also you know, he shows
his family and his dogs and things like that. So
shout out my guy Tabor. Yeah, shout out table Yeah.
Really really cool, energetic guy, very very good on camera
too as Well's so he helps us create a lot
(04:49):
of cool content. Like I remember in I think it
was the beginning of this year, we did the spiled
spiled a t and also training Camp. We did something
for train to Camp. It was score Madden. Yeah, that
was my man's ratings up. That was pretty clear respect
on his Madden rating yea seven. And he had fun
(05:11):
with it too, like he had like he had fun
with it and it became some awesome content. So I
admire that George is so active and like it's constantly posting.
I also admire Nick Bosa's just a sense of unbothered
nous and does not care about social and sometimes like
I need to be more like Nick Bosa not be
on my phone all the time. And he just doesn't,
(05:34):
you know, care for it. So it's kind of nice.
But yeah, life goes on. It's what we do, but
it shouldn't be like who we are necessarily. That actually
leads me perfectly to my next question. Out of the
four of you, outside of work hours, who's on social
media the most? I would I don't think I am.
Should we check her screen time? Oh? I feel like
(05:57):
the TikTok girly would be. It depends on what I'm doing, though,
because like sometimes I do just take a break. Ooh
not according to my phone though back yesterday cut that out.
Daily average five hours and sixteen minutes. I don't really
look at my screen time. I got four hours in
(06:18):
twenty six minutes. How do we get there? Yesterday? Yeah, okay,
I'm at six hours twenty four minutes. Can someone walk
Patty through how to get to her screen time? Settings, settings,
crying time? Okay? If we look at the work phone though,
forty eight minutes? Oh see all activity? He only works
for forty eight minutes yesterday. Oh no, this is just
(06:42):
like average for the week. Sorry, Johnny, what did your say?
So yesterday was like six hours, Wednesday was four and
then pretty heavy on Twitter and I used to read
it a lot. I know that we don't like have
our team read it account, but it's like super helpful
for vacation planning, for life tips. So shut I wrote it. Okay,
(07:05):
it says I used Instagram for seven hours and forty
two minutes in the week. Is that a lot? My
week time for TikTok is seven hours and forty minutes.
So I beat you by two minutes. Unbelievable. Yesterday mons
was five hours and fifty minutes. Which social media network
was the most most Facebook? I told you I'm og
(07:27):
Facebook user. Yeah, come on, Mark, you're just doing the
Facebook poke playing Jena Poker. No, Man, I mean, like
I said, like, I'm more familiar with Facebook, like as
that was my first kind of becoming myself, like letting
people see me who you know, for who I was,
(07:47):
and not being a phrase kind of. That's why I
went with the I don't know a big huge power
in just fan man, and I think we can show
that I clearly do not work in social media. Last
week I spent two hours and twenty five minutes on Instagram, AM,
and that was my most That seems healthy. That's why
you answer my DM on I probably Yeah, I got you.
(08:09):
I wonder what Nick Bosa's screen time is. It's like
zero zero. He would be a good one to for
the most likely to avoid the camera, Like he doesn't
actively avoid it, but he also doesn't like actively engage it.
So I think he's actually a good most likely to
avoid the camera guy who I don't think you've ever
gotten like a selfie shout out from Nick? I think
(08:31):
I got one at the draft the night he was drafted.
But yeah, you're gonna like no, that was with Keana neverwine.
Oh you're gonna like me guarantee you. Yeah, Johnny used
to work at Men's Warehouse. Okay, what's your favorite away stadium? Oh, Vegas?
(08:53):
Vegas for sure. That that stadium was really nice. I
mean from how big it was. And the food was
really good too, Like, dude, they had steak, had steak.
I don't think y'all realize, like how important it was
me that was steak, Like I was fueled up, and
they had potatoes and then they had like some good
(09:14):
like lemonade or something they have back there. But the
stadium was so nice, like the video boards, their graphics
package were really nice. Like it's just everything tiddy and
so well. So yeah, I love Seattle. It's like downtown,
you can walk to it. It's open air, like the
environment obviously huge rival so you know they're avid fans
(09:38):
bias like Seattle, you know, vibe going on. I don't
like going through it, but being on the field for
it so far was really good because we have a
lot of traveling fans and it felt like a home
game and like just the look of it, it's like
very well lit inside and it was that was cool. Yeah.
(09:59):
From this that perspective, so fi like the video board
is massive and so high quality. The lighting in there
like is just so this emoji if you can input
this in the video chef's kiss um. I think from
a like really cool, just like not once a kind
(10:22):
of once in a lifetime, just bucket list type stadium
would be Lambo Um. I think the situation for it
too was just like you know, playoff game at Lambo
in the snow, odds are against us, like six seed
being a one that's stadium. Also because it's so close
to what was that burger place I went, I got
(10:46):
a speaking of burgers before the game, walked over to
Krolls to get an infamous butter burger, and now I'm obsessed,
Like I don't constantly eat butterburgers here. I don't think
they're available. I don't want to make my own. But
that experience of just like walking across the street, grabbing
(11:08):
a butter burger, going back to Lambeau and then experiencing
the snow globe that we kind of did, like that
was like definitely like a bucket list item for me.
Honorable mentioned US Bank in Minnesota. Also good lighting, great
lighting in downtown. I like the downtown stadiums because there
(11:28):
are a few and far between. But it's just nice
when you have stuff to do as a fan before
and after and open air. Right press box Minnesota is
opening your press box here. Yeah. Going back to Lambeau,
we talked about that earlier in the podcast where it
was it was it was fairly chilly. What's the worst
weather game you guys have had? Kenana's never had a
rain game, so that needs to change, does it? Though?
(11:53):
That one game was a fifty seven, was a little uncomfortable.
My hands were so cold. I know we talk about
snow and rain a lot. I will flip this on
its head. I'm gonna go ahead and say Tampa Bay
Week one twenty nineteen season wasn't so hot and humid,
(12:14):
and then I know you went to sinc after, which
was like insanely hot. But you know, and not talking
about like the wet games or the snow games. Like
being uncomfortably hot I think is also just as bad. Yeah,
when you're sweat and just standing there trying to live,
when you're fighting for your life. Yeah, I'm just breathing
(12:35):
in arresting heart rate. I'm dripping sweat. That's true. We
don't take Yeah, the Bay Area, we definitely pay for it,
but not having to do with humidity and all that.
Houston also pretty rough. I remember we had joint training
camp there a few years ago and all the guys
are in the ice bath getting ivs and I was
just like, and I'm like, maybe I need one. I'm
just doing social media. I don't know. I had had
(13:00):
a very warm game yet, but I think the whatever
rain game, I was soaked and I got sick. Yeah, no,
and yeah, like I said, yeah, y'all, y'all right, Like
South is very hot and human, and I'm sorry about that.
I'm so sorry. Yeah. I like to preface this that
I'm from South Florida, so I feel like that doesn't
(13:22):
bother me. But night games here gets really cold and
I'm down there with like hand warmers. People probably think
I'm ridiculous, but it gets pretty chilly here. Like I
think it was a December game, so that was bad
for me. Yeah, A double layer come Levi's man, Lululemon.
(13:44):
Good luck. If there was an is there an alumni
you wish We're on the team now. From a social
media perspective, who do you wish you could you could
get on the at forty nine ers? Uh? Spice, spice atoms, yeah,
spice atoms. Yeah. The dude is hilarious. I actually got
(14:07):
to meet him at the Golden Heart of Fun thing
that covered h with t and like he was just
so chill. He was just so like happy to be there.
He had his family. But I mean, dude's content has
been rocking and rolling for like three or four years now,
and I mean he's good at what he does, but
(14:27):
it'd be fun to work with him on some content. Yeah. Um,
I mean he's here all the time, so he makes
his way into content and it's Jerry Rice has the
time of his life at games and it's really funny
to like grew not funny, but like fun to watch
him just really enjoying the game, getting into it. He
(14:49):
does pregame postgame like man's there still running a hundred
yard dash. I think had he been able to play
during social media, No, he's on Twitter now, but TiO,
what do you have? Captioned his photo of him standing
on the Star. Once he gets the locker room and
the social team socialize him the photo. You know, it
just would have been like chaos. So I've kind of entertaining.
(15:11):
So that's my pick. I'll say a recent alumni, Joe Staley.
I think, you know, for an offensive lineman to be
as like outgoing as he is is very hard to
come by. And everyone loves Joe and the Joe Show,
and I think he would be a great alumni too.
(15:32):
I mean, he was here for social content, so but
if we could continue with him, that'd be cool. Okay.
Last one, besides your phone or camera, if you could
only have one other thing with you on the sideline
for an entire game, what would it be a little
contraption to hardwire into the internet necessity? Okay, that or
(15:58):
you're like portable charger one gotta go. I have two phones,
so I get away with this. Luckily I can just
swap phone, so I'm still taking the hard wire. Yeah,
from a work standpoint, chargers like external battery from a
personal standpoint. Snacks if you're cold or draining. Used to
(16:20):
have some good snacks in the vests, so you double vest,
you know, put put a king size, family size, but
you're you're you're seven good snacks. Yeah, I was gonna
say the same thing, like water, Just give me some water.
I just want to stay hydrated because a lot of
people don't know, a lot of camera guys cramp up
because they're profusely sweating all the time. So you gotta hydrate,
(16:42):
I know, especially if you're running around the field. Like
shout out to all the video videographers that are running
around grabbing content. I know how it is, but a
bottle water, it does not matter to temperature as long
as it as long as it hydrates. Yeah, I'm gonna
go portable charger. I don't know why. I just like
(17:03):
take it personally when my phone dies and so like,
I I get really I just get upset, like I
don't know if it's I get upset at the phone
or myself. It's just like I don't like, how did
I let it get this far? You know? And so
portable charger for sure, R you gotta refeat that again.
You got you gotta defeat that again. And I took
(17:30):
that personal. Kattie's fighting her phone on the sideline when
it died. I get really, like like my phone was
at like three percent last night and I was like,
how did I how did it? How did we get here.
How many phone chargers do you have? Like you own?
I own a lot, but not all of them work.
Like there's my trusted ones that I know will work,
(17:50):
so like I have a bunch, but like checks out.
So like I have my one. It's an anchor. It's
on Amazon on that I go too, but for Green Bay.
So I didn't know this, Like when your phone is cold,
it dies quicker. I think. Actually Huff told me that,
like the week of He was like, you know your
(18:11):
phone dies quicker than the cold, And I said, I
did not know that, Thank you. So I actually brought
like two portable chargers. I have this one that's like orange,
and it's huge. It's like a brick. And I remember,
I've had this for a while. I don't even know
if it still works. I took it with me to
Coachella in twenty sixteen, and that thing kept my phone
charged all three days of Coachella, so shout out. I
(18:33):
don't know what brand it is. I can look it up,
but now I use an anchor. It usually works for
like one day, so like it's not super heavy duty,
but it is good enough for like a game day.
Does the orange thing have like a blue light. Yes
it does. I have that one. Yeah, if that thing
survived everything I ever that one since so when I
lived in Florida would go to Orlando and the theme
(18:54):
parks a lot, and that thing was a trooper. Yes,
mine's all dented and stuff. I gotta see if it's
still works. I definitely have it. I'm gonna I'll boot
it up to night and see if it if it works,
but yes, that's the one. It's seen some things. It's
gotten tense on it having. I know I said that
was the last question, but thinking of chargers that don't work.
(19:15):
What were all of you guys's first phones? Oh, this
might date me. My first phone was with Singular now
known as AT and T the Little Orange Guy. It
was a flip phone. I remember I bought a case
for it at the mall. It was like a Michael Jordan.
(19:37):
It had like the Air Jordan on it and like
twenty three. Because I was I was hollowed to the
baller at the time, so naturally I had to get
the Michael Jordan phone case. It was a flip phone.
I think I I didn't have unlimited texts at the time.
I think my parents gave me like twenty five. Never
really used T nine, but that was my first phone.
(19:58):
I remember I bought a little like keychain at Claire's,
these little like dangly like brown like sparkly balls because
they look like basketballs naturally. And I would hold this
phone in a little roxy like case, not even case,
but like a little purse that was meant for like footphones.
(20:19):
It like it just reeked of the two thousands. Uh
Like the photo quality was so bad, but that's when
you were taking like the selfies that are you know,
not mirror selfie. I don't know. It was crazy. That
was one first one I had, I think a Nokia
and I was one of the ones that then one
(20:40):
of them pop slide out keyboards, so like for the
people at home, I got one of these phones with
like though you could be c cards in the back.
That's probably why I like it, because it feels like
my Nokia. Down Check two seven called I had a
BlackBerry um your first phone. Yeah yeah, it was well,
(21:02):
like I said, my dad worked at u um IP
International Paper and so like he would give me like
his old phones and I had like the I had
like the og BlackBerry and one with like the scroll
button on the side, and so I would like play
like games like and it'd be so frustrating because you know,
you're trying to figure out how to Then once you
(21:23):
get the use of it, used used to it, and
you know it makes a lot of sense. But yeah,
I had a from BlackBerry Motorola Razor. I don't forget
about the motor the raids of customizable cases yeah, um.
But other than that, yeah those two. I had the
Nokia UM, the one that you could play Snake on. Yeah,
(21:46):
that was mine. But like the UM, there was the
older version I got. I had the newer one that
like the it lit up white for like the keyboard,
but honorable mentioned to the Sidekick because I missed being
able to flip the keyboard the screen keyboard around. I
was always jealous of the kids who had the Sidekick,
but that was only on T Mobile, and like we
(22:08):
were on Singular, slash AT and T so I didn't
get that. I didn't have the luxury of let me
just text, all right, And I'd be like, well, I
gotta slide open pod and the kids with the flip
open phone and be like, I got this thing like
the little brom meme where he's taking the photo. That's open.
Fun fact about the Nokia brick. My phone got stolen
(22:31):
in high school, like my BlackBerry, and so my dad
to get me a new phone. Joked, he was like,
I'm gonna get you like an old school Nokia, and
I thought he was joking. He actually bought one, like
on eBay probably, I don't even know if Amazon was
a thing. He bought one on eBay and that was
my phone until I was due for like an upgrade
or something like that. So like I had this archaic
(22:52):
phone when everyone else had Blackberries, and like maybe the
iPhone three? Is that the first generation? Um and so,
But it was because people were like, oh can you
play Snake on this thing? That was the best game. Yeah,
I wish I could find a good version. Do you
think you still have your phones laying around anywhere at home? Oh?
No way, couple, I doubt it. We should. We should
(23:14):
work throwback game with them. I think I might have
like sim cars, say BlackBerry. Yeah, have you ever looked
back on your BlackBerry pictures? Though? Those things are so grainy?
Nobody wants to see that. Oh yeah, I've got a
fee on here transfer a little data. So picture of
me and my adult I like it. I think one
of you should have to use some random phone for
(23:35):
the throwback or imagine the phone can do y. I
don't even do you remember the motor roll of Razors
had the camera on the front though too, so that
you could use the little yeah yeah, and look at
your the camera did that even take video? Like? I
feel like it was all just photo. It could have
just been photo, but regardless, they listen. So I just
(23:58):
realized we came up with a cool content piece, right,
So was handing the guy an old ass phone and
then telling them, hey, like have him do something with it. Yeah,
like this phone was made the year you were born. Two,
Like take a take a selfie screenshot with it? Posted
That actually would be funny if we got things that
came out when these guys were born. Yeah, and see
if they like know, how do you let us go
(24:20):
to the entire end segment? Yes, all right, let's do
it anything else for us? All right? Team, thank you
so much for coming onto the podcast and speaking with us.
This was like really fun. This was so fun. I
really liked this format. This is a very enjoyable episode.
Thanks you y'all. Thanks, thank you.
