in fifty year, forty eight minutes from now, we throw
(00:46):
it back and reminisce. Let's just say it has to
do with technology and technology we grew up with.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
But man, love it.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I hope we're having a school bol scheme sort today.
And we got to talk Aaron Judge, call the joke
and get some fudge. If he doesn't win, I hate everybody.
It's Covino and Rich and we be rocking out let's
go schoobl and skiing sounds like a luffern. Yes, hey,

There's a lot to get to today. We're gonna start
with the NFL. But to let you know, Judge and
kel Raley, we find that out later on, so we
will discussar we'll go all hold on. We might not
find out during this show. I'm hoping to be six
pm Eastern. Yeah, but I was talking to Jolly Bush.
(02:02):
He's always eating Jolly b I call him Jolly Bursch.
Jolly Bursch, jolly, and he's jolly Jolly Bursch. I was
talking to him and jellyb it's a Filipino fans, like
a KFC of the Philippines. I have once. I did
not like it, but I've been told I should give
it another chance. Birsch loves it. Yeah, so tell you
by Yeah. So I was talking to Jolly Bush and
he goes, look, the nl MVP will probably be given
(02:25):
first because it's so obvious, and then they'll make everybody
wait for the al MVP. Obvious mean exactly, and you
know what, I could see them leaning into the theatrics
the dramatics that way because it's such a heated and
such a close competition even though it shouldn't be. Is
MLB gonna bring in Seacrest to be like after the break?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I think so we'll see either way. We we might
have Rob Parker on standby, or you're gonna hear randoma.
We got to get Rob Parker because he's gonna be
on obviously after us with the odd couple. He's our
MLB bro, so we'll hear from him. You know what,
I'm just being rich. If you need something to watch
the night. If you're bored by the idea of the
Jets Patriots. Later on, maybe we'll talk a little bit
(03:07):
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 (03:17):
I love Eddie Murty.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I think we talk about all the influential dudes and
women of our childhood. I think Eddie Murphy doesn't get
enough credit, So maybe we'll get to that weekin enough credit.
Everybody kisses his ass. Every comedian under the moon kisses
Eddie Murphy's ass and deserving me. So in the documentary
they do. I'll tell you that I'm saying. And before him,
there was Richard Pryor. Before Richard Prior, there was Red Fox,
(03:40):
and before Fox, and he's somebody else. Eddie's different, though, but.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
He even made a donkey a good character in a movie.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
He said, that's I like Eddie Murphy, but don't act
like he doesn't get his credit.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
He definitely does.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
He talks about Donkey being some of his hardest work, exhausting. Well,
I can't wait to see it. Well, let's go into
the show. NFL is king. We love this baseball season.
NBA's popping, but NFL is king. And every year we
get a kick out of what a lot of things
the schedule releases. No, Kings, didn't you read the protests?
Those dope stop in traffic. Get a job.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
You guys love the rankings.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
I love rank picks like USA Today and all the
media outlets, all of us get a job.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
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
(04:45):
and you can't stop me. And did you see the
latest The NFL owners want to put a stop to this. Yeah,
they said enough of the report cards. In fact, owners
like Woody Johnson, they're trying to dom the credibility of it.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
They're saying it's bogus. Actually that's the quote, right agus. Yeah,
the Jets owner is leading the way, and well, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Who wants to stop it with the weak ass owners
want to stop it. Like if you know, Danny, if
there was a list and you were ranked high on it,
you love the list. If there was a list then
you were ranked low on it, you'd be like bunk list.
So I get it. That is true. Every time they
come out with like talk radio lists, we're usually on them,
but never like where we want to be, so like, yeah,
they stink. But if we were number one, we were like, hell, yeah, yeah, baby,
(05:31):
we're on the list number one. If there was like
some weak ass made up list of like top Latino
broadcasters and it was like number four Steve Cavino, he'd
be like, just a great list, not bad. Yeah I
should be top three, but yeah, I'll take it. So
your thoughts, your thoughts on the list? Are you on
the list? I think this is really cool. I love
(05:52):
the player surveys that you could say it's petty and
bs because a lot of times it's spiteful, but remember
the players survey and Caitlyn Clark low and it's like, oh,
what a bunch of jealous biachies. So there's a lot
involved the facility, Like you said, how they treat their kids,
not just to welcome their families, not just in the NFL.
I'm saying all these player surveys in all sports to
(06:13):
be like, who do you find the most overrated in
the NBA, And it's like, WHOA, that's so that's the
sentiment among your peers. I feel like peer surveys do
hold a little cloud to me. You might think, wow,
is there much thought put into it? I like these
surveys because, for instance, even though the Chiefs are a
dynasty that have dominated, remember they had some f's Yeah,
(06:36):
I remember, like you know what player medical care? Yeah,
So for us, it's great fodder, great things to talk about,
and it's fun to speculate. So of course we're going
to love it. I could see how it rubs the
NFL and the owners the wrong way.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I think about it.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
You're spending so much money on these dudes and then
they come back. This is how you thank me with
an F on the report card. It's got to sting
a little bit from their perspective. Well, I'll give you
an example. I do believe there's a nugget of truth
to it. If we gave Fox Sports Radio rankings based
on places we've worked, I know where I would grade
(07:10):
it high and where i'd grade it low. Maybe we
used to get free snacks at other jobs. I was
gonna say number five. I remember there were jobs. There
were jobs I'll give you where we were the s
n Y in New York, which was the nets Snack
There was a free snack, a snack wall. Man neverber
thinking we all got fat too from that side. I
(07:31):
was gonna say, Rich, it's good that we don't have that.
A Fox Sports taking sonships home with us. Man.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, Rich is the biggest snacker I.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Know, Dude, I'd be ten pounds half the year if
we had a snack wall here here, but in a
different way. Yeah, maybe they do that on purpose. Wink wink,
not nod.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Oh does that mean nothing? Nothing is behind the scenes.
Oh okay, so no, absolutely, I know what you mean,
and we're joking of course.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
But you also have to factor in I'm not I
want a snack wall. You have to factor in the
vine created and everything, and and what it feels like
to work there. I think those are a lot of
untangibles that probably aren't factored in, like of cool, Well,
what's the staff like? Is everybody friendly? Is everyone cool there?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Like?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Do they accommodate you in certain ways. I don't think
a lot of that's factored in.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
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 5 (08:31):
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 1 (08:39):
Loraen is great. Were reaping all the benefits or even
the benefits of a a bunch of horn dog guys
that you know. Lorain is like an intelligent, beautiful woman,
and all of a sudden, all these listeners on the country.
You know, if you were smart, we should tell Loraina
to tell her fans of Fox Sports Radio like things
that we need. Yeah, you know what I mean? You
(09:01):
know what you really love Lorena gold toat Socks.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
New Pair.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Loraina tell them that you like, uh, you know, turkey jerky, Yeah,
some things that we want. Yeah, so that is our
snack wall, you should do that. But yeah, thoughts on
that at eight, seven, seven, nine nine on Fox. It's
not the biggest deal. But I did see that story
was breaking earlier today that the NFL is like, yeah,
we don't know if we like the player in a way.
(09:30):
All right, I'm just playing Devil's advocate and I'll be
Keanu Reeves. What do you think about it? It's a
bit hypocritical if they were to ask you, what would
you do? What would you do? Because it is anonymous,
crappy feedback. It's like, if you're on social media, don't
(09:50):
you look down on the jabbroni who chimes in anonymously
with some heavy criticism. It's like, if you're going to
say something rude and critical, you you should own up
to it, Like it's very cowardly to do it anonymously
like that.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
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 (10:23):
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,
(10:45):
Rich Davis sucks. That hurts and means a lot more
than someone anonymous with no picture profile whatsoever. And he's like,
Rich sucks it just does you know what I mean?
So I think this anonymous criticism is far more cowardly
and if you want to look at it that way,
it's easy to say some negative stuff when you don't
have to own up to it. I have a question now,
(11:06):
I'm sure not just human resources at iHeart or Fox
or a serious exam or any place we've worked or
work when they when companies do say hey, put your
feedback here, it's anonymous, like you know, like like a
blind survey. Don't you always feel like I'm doing it
for my work computer? It's really not. Yeah, I know
(11:27):
I feel that way. We saw trap happen once and again.
The guy didn't get in trouble or anything. But I
remember we were let's just say we worked to a
company not Ihearten Fox Sports Radio where there was a
town hall where like the boss of the company was speaking.
He's like, who has complaints? Hey, this is an open
forum where we could talk. And I remember one dude
(11:50):
did the whole like I got a complaint, and I
remember thinking, like, what are you doing? That's a trap.
As Danny said, it's a trap. He started talking about
everything from how much he was you know, wasn't paid,
to snacks in the kitchen too, it's fair and fair
time off and the you know, the studio updates and
(12:11):
I'm like, yo, this guy, what are you doing?
Speaker 5 (12:15):
So You're right there is something about to say that
guy doesn't work there anymore.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
He does it, but I don't think that's why. But
it's still like to me, like, no words spread around.
I wasn't at that meeting and I heard about it.
How about this rich When it comes to surveys, Yeah,
when you're on customer service and they ask you are
you willing to do the survey afterward? Do you hit
yes just because you think you're gonna be higher in line? Yes,
I do because I think if I may hang up
(12:41):
when you're done. Anyway, I'm willing to take the survey
because in my mind, no, I pretend like I'm going,
that's what I'm saying. If they say, if you're willing
to take a survey after this, press one, I'm like, yes,
if I press one, they'll answer my call quicker because
they want me to give a good survey. Is there
truth to that or not?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Though?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
That's the thing, and is there truth? How much truth
is there to this NFL survey of a question? Yeah,
and the owners are saying bogus. If you're at a restaurant,
I have done this, and I I am a man
of my word when I do this as a waiter
or waitress, ever been like, hey, can you do me
a favorite? Mean a lot? If you just go to
this website and put in this code and leave me
(13:22):
like a review, it'll mean a lot. This is when
I hand it over to the girlfriend, I'm like, yeah,
she's got the YELP thing going on. She could chill
more of a new business in town. Is like, but
I do think that's a great idea a good review.
I feel sometimes like, yeah you should, Yeah, that's that's
a nice thing to do. Especially just getting started. Yeah,
I'm not saying I wouldn't do that, absolutely would. All right,
(13:44):
So your thoughts on this? The NFL report cards? I
like them. I think they're fun. I think they're interesting.
Do you put any stock into it or is it
just stuff to bs about? Do you take any pride
into it, like if your team gets a high grade? Yeah,
damn right, I root for a class organization. Yeah, what
(14:05):
are your thoughts on it? They're trying to put a
stop to it. I think what it does could be known.
Think it's just fun for sports talk and sports fans
to see what's going on, and it keeps these owners
on their toes. It's fun bs banter for guys like
us and you know on the network and other networks.
But you're right, anonymous feedback is usually like not the
feedback I really put a lot of stock into However,
(14:28):
it is ammunition when the bad reviews go to the
teams that are struggling, because then it just gives more
ammunition for the fans to be like, that's why look
at these suck they got The players don't even feel respected,
And I bet you as some young players factor that
in like, yeah, I don't know, man, I hear bad
things about that organization. It must plant some sort of seed.
(14:50):
But truth to it or not. Of course, Woody Johnson
and some owners are gonna say there's no truth to it.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
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.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
A losing team. Just like how you mentioned the Chiefs
get some low grades.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah, I don't think Patrick Mahomes or Kelsey or Andy
Reid or anyone's really you know, hating life in Arrowhead.
So you know what your thoughts At eight, seven, seven,
nine nine on Fox, we're gonna get to some Judge
versus Cal Rowley make our final thoughts on that. We're
gonna go old school and fifty hits and talk some
more NFL. There's some games this weekend. Now, I know,
(15:38):
I sound like the Bachelor host when they always say
like this is the most dramatic season yet Honestly, there
are some telling games this week that are some of
the biggest games of the year so far, and I
think we've got to break down some of these key
matchups that are going to really sort of determine the
future of divisions in the National Football League. So we'll
(15:58):
break down some NFL mec go old school. What a

get you involved. Now, we could wrap this up. NFL
Report Cards is always fun, but I think it's more
fun for I think it's more fun for us than anybody,
(18:57):
because I don't know at the barbershop you ever hear
or any of your buddies ever come up with that info, yo, man, none.
I think we just get a kick out you know,
so I just think it's fun fodder. But it is
interesting though. I think everyone does the little quick peruse
like you want to say, I want to see you
don't bite the hand that feeds. Though, Man, if you're
getting paid and they're treating you decent, you don't talk
(19:18):
smack about your company like that. And there's too many
organizations that are getting f's. Woody Johnson doesn't like it.
The NFL owners are trying to put a stop to
the NFL report cards, saying they're weak, they're bogus, they're
not even real, they're not legit. You hear that. Everyone
Kavino loves sticking up for billionaires. It's not that I'm
just saying these billionaires are making rich men at a
(19:38):
lot of a lot of these people. Let's go to
JP and okay, see, okay, see what's up JP.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
How you guys doing today?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
What do you think about the report cards? How owners like, yeah, yeah,
it's something done with this.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
Oh so I got two things all right? So first
thing you guys are talking about like anonymous, like leaving
anonymous and things like that, Like I get all that.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
I think hiding by and.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
The keyboard is weak. But at the same time, like
these billionaires are at the end of the day have
the opportunity to collude and they can say I'm not
gonna sign this free agent because he was talking smack
about the team you know that he was on before.
So I feel like the owners could you know, all
gang up and not sign a guy or lowball them
because he spoke out about how bad the situation was
(20:24):
at his other team.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
That's true. And you know what's interesting what matters to someone? Actually,
you know what, let me let me quote the different
strokes theme may what might be right for you may
not be right for some. A man he's born, he's
a man, me of me, of means, man of means,
man of means. Then a long came two. They got
(20:47):
nothing about their jeans. It's different for everyone. What might
mean something to you might mean Jack Diddeley squat to
someone else. Like we're talking to one of the guys
here it's anonymous. We're saying how this is an amazing,
big company that we love, but I don't have one
like Fox Sports Radio T shirt. There's no swag. That's
that true. We got one from where we are we
Danny Gene, Oregon but it was like a local our
(21:08):
affiliates and radio the only one Egen. Yeah, I was
gonna say, you need Rob Parking to slap a logo
on it. What I'm saying is logo on it. Someone
might say, like, you know, my complaint is that we
don't have any like you know, I never got like
a Fox Sports Radio tumbler, And someone else might be like,
I don't want that junk. So what you know, like
(21:30):
keeping nice? You never know what means something to people, right, Yeah,
I want a coozy like we have beautiful free parking outside.
There might be I work for companies that are like, yeah,
park where you know, fine parking? Yeah, but you see
that petty that sounds even though I agree, you know what,
I would love a nice Fox Sports radio zip up fleece,
nice little hoodie or something that would be nice. You
say hoodie, I did say.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Hod.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Why you don't call it that? I don't know that's
how we say it in New Jersey. Bro sweet, But like,
as long as those checks are clearing, isn't that the
most important?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
That's how I feel.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I hear you, dude, I'm I'm listening here, I am
kissing ass. I have no complaints about this place. But
you're right, you don't know what matters to someone else. Right,
let's say what's up to Ali Alejandro in Ventury County.
What's up many?
Speaker 7 (22:20):
You said hoody?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Did you said?
Speaker 3 (22:25):
You said HOODI?
Speaker 6 (22:27):
I like you said.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
You don't rock hood He said hoodie like he was
like saying, like like, ho, woud someone say with hummus like.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Almost you said you said that?
Speaker 7 (22:37):
Okay, these ratings things are yeah, they're not right. They're
not right. The ratings are not right. That's just like
my ex used to rate my marber, but she doesn't
go to my marble or my barber stops cutting my hair.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Yeah, I just there's there's a little bit of cowardly
behavior behind it. I don't like anything anonymous, I really don't,
but it's fun to talk about. There's no question. Well,
I'm just reality.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
It protects people sometimes sometimes you have to be anonymous
or be like, have an anonymous source.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Or how about you just stand up for what you
believe in. Maybe why do you have to hide him?
Because you don't want to throw you want to throw
your life away to stand up for something. Sometimes I'll
say this, there's apps that I don't think any woman
should ever be put in a terrible situation by dating
a piece of trash guy. But there are websites where like,
(23:37):
if a woman goes on a bed date with a guy,
she gives them like a review and then like all
of a sudden, he's on some app is like red
Flag Guy, and it's like, why guess you didn't get
along to Double Edged Sword? Yeah, so it's like, you
know again because you didn't like it?
Speaker 5 (23:52):
Know what?
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I hate? That's why I don't follow yelp, or, as
Cavino loves to call it, rotten potatoes not tomatoes, because
if you followed rotten tomatoes, we would never watch a
Sandler movie. We would never watch a dumb comedy or
a dumb reality show. If and if you go to yelp,
you'll go look at a restaurant and someone could be like, yeah, yeah,
food is great, but I didn't like my waiter, then
(24:15):
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.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
No, no, no, just.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Go ahead and just watch it and tell me what
you think you're talking about. That Kim Kardashian show it's
so bad. It's good. Sam.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
No, I've heard it's so bad that don't even waste
your time? Why and like hate watching won't even get
it done. On a side note, again, we're talking about
NFL report cards. They're trying to put a stop to it.
The owners want to put a stop to it.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Some of the owners, not the ones in the top
ones getting after saying it's not even legit. You ever
get a report card, Rich and you look through the comments.
So when you were a kid and you look through
the comments and the teacher says something weird about you,
You're like, what the hell, what's that about? He has
a weird odor?
Speaker 5 (24:55):
I remember saying something about he smells like pickled eggs.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
It's like every day. Remember I'm a kid, right And
I'm like, I don't even know if i want to
bring this home to mom right now, because you feel
weird about it. I remember, like the teacher wrote in
the comments, like, you know, Steven's a good kid or whatever.
But I gave him constructive criticism and he was a vegetable,
And I was like, I was a vegetable?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah? You know, as a great schooler. I was like
What does he mean? What does she mean by that?
I'm a vegetable? What do I got? Tomatohead? What is that?
What does that he mean? But I remember feeling like
the criticism hurts. It does, but sometimes people need to
hear it. But own it is my point. Own it, dude,
what's going to be more impactful? Ready, let's play it out? Okay,
all right, I gotta complain about the snack wall or
(25:41):
there's no snack, there's no swag, no freebies at Fox
Sports Radio. Anonymously putting a note in a box. Who
cares about that? Idiot? Or the guy who's the host
in the afternoons kindly writes a letter or it goes
up to the bass, knocks out the door, something that's
been on my mind and own up to it. It
(26:03):
might have greater impact if he knows who was coming from. Well,
I think uh, I'd go anonymous. You know what you
want to show? You want to show to be renamed
kimplaino and bitch Hey, uh boss man? Love working here,
just checking in and say what's up? And it's been
on my mind? Really could use some dipsy doodles and
some some some Fox Sports Radio key chains really make
(26:28):
a big difference around here. At a chance we can
get some free Monster energy drink, but to make more
impact than some anonymous person, because anyone could be an
idiot about that thing.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
So anyway, well, you guys wield a powerful sword. Because
years ago you complained about the coffee.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Look at that. It's the same exact coffee. That coffee.
We still got it. So anyway, complaints, report cards the end.
Now what are we really doing coffee machine here but water?
Oh yeah, I know. We're getting ready for Dan Byer's update.
We're also on the edge of our seat because waiting
for this MVP announcement. That's really what it comes down
(27:05):
to today. I got to give props to schoolbl and Skiens,
your favorite law firm. As Rich said before, schoobl and
Skiens both going to be Yankees soon enough, at least
one of those guys, Skeens, says anonymous source. By the way,
speaking up, yeah, anonymous source, A lot of his teammates
are saying that Skeens often talks about wanting to be
(27:28):
a Yankee. Anonymous source own up to it, and they
got the cy young. As you guys already know, and
you've heard a million times already. But who will be
your MVP? You're gonna find out today. Let's go to
our guy right now, Dan Buyer for an update. dB.
What's up man?
Speaker 8 (27:45):
Hey fellas getting shat for not only that announcement, but
you guys talked about a week eleven tonight Jets and Patriots.
The Jets did place wide receiver Garrett Wilson on injured
reserve because of a knee injury. He was already ruled
out tonight and now we'll miss their next four games.
Texans ruling out Siege Stroud the quarterback is going to
miss Sunday's matchup with the Titans. Davis Mills gets the start.
Raven's quarterback Lamar Jackson back at practice today. He's expected
(28:08):
to start in Cleveland on Sunday. Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco
limited with his shoulder injury. Falcons wide receiver Drake London
limited in practice today and no practice for these players.
Broncos running back JK Dobbins, Chiefs running back as A Pacheco,
and Lions ten ends Sam Laporta did look like brock
Perty was on the practice field for the second straight
day for the forty nine ers. Niners GM John Lynch
(28:28):
told KMBR today that it's not their intention to hold
out wide receiver Brandon Ayuk for the entire season as
he tries to come back from that knee injury suffered
last year. But right now, in his words, quote, there
are no absolutes end quote, so we may not see
Brandon Ayuk at all this season.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Man, good thing they gave him all that money last year.
Huh right, Yeah, it's it stinks that he got hurt.
But man, yeah, this hasn't worked out for the forty
nine ers since that move. You think pretty on smarts
play this weekend since I'm gonna be Yeah, I think so.
I think there's a little little extra motivation, a little oop.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
An anonymous source told me that they are really excited
that you guys are going to be there and they're
doing everything. In fact, Ricky Pearsall is like, I'm going
to practice too. I may come back and play as well.
I have a source.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
I can't tell you that. Who can't tell you?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
See what it means? It means nothing if you don't
know who said it says who? What if the Empire
did a whole update with fake an out of sources
and he could say a bunch of bs, but it's
like it was an anonymous source.
Speaker 8 (29:32):
The fake counts on Twitter becoming pretty pretty interesting. They
can catch somebody, not for sure.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Interestingly enough, I'm glad you said that, dB, And by
the way, thank you for the update. You de man
oh I wasn't done.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Yeah, no, that's okay.
Speaker 8 (29:44):
You guys are just talking about the Cardinals and forty
nine ers if they were done.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
He's getting more of a covenio.
Speaker 8 (29:52):
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.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Back to you guys, The Brunson things big because New
York sports having a rough go at it. The Yankees
and Mets came up short. The Jets and the Giants
are stinking like Abe Lincoln and the reality is the
Knicks or what New York's got buzzing right now with Brunson.
If that would have been worse, that just it would
have added to the misery. Yeah, nothing new, I heard
(30:25):
Dan Patrick r pal DP, who were filling in for
By the Way Wednesday. Wednesday, dan Patrick was saying that
New York sports sometimes we forget that they've had a
bad run. Yankees, oh nine Giants with a with a
randoh surprise has been the only really positive in New
York sports in the last couple decades. Not even the teams.
(30:48):
The city too taken a hit, just not that. Yeah,
gotta be there, got to play their reputation that it
once had. But speaking of the anonymous source, and it
all ties together, perfect though perfect though. We talked about
the NFL report cards. Danny g you sent me a story?
Was it commito?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Bet?
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Jennifer Lawrence? Yeah, it's funny with said Jennifer Lawrence said
that she loves she has like fake accounts and she
likes fighting with fans.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yeah, she likes control people burner accounts.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
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.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
I call it Finsta accounts, she says, fake Instagram. She
has a secret TikTok account. I have like a secret
life on TikTok. She says, I get in fights in
the comment section and one girl was like, how old
are you?
Speaker 7 (31:39):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
I'm not saying guys don't do this though. Don't think
it's sexist. But my wife has told me most women
she knows have some type of secondary account where they
just check up on things or they want to look
at women that they don't want that girl to know
they're checking their page. Yeah, my girlfriend definitely definitely has
fake accounts for that reason, not like you know, she's
(32:02):
pretending to be a fake person that I know of,
but just for the reason that Rich said to check
up on certain things and spy on other people. And
I don't know, it's a whole racket going on. It
is more of a woman thing. I don't know one
dude except for Kevin Durant that has another feel. If
women and Kevin Durant and a few trolls out there, now,
if people have these accounts, right, if people have these accounts,
(32:26):
does it sort of go along with the whole conversation
about the NFL report cards, Like if you're anonymous, does
it really mean anything? It doesn't. It's a faceless, nameless
as you always say, Rich agg on Twitter is a
nobody with no profile. That's why it's things harder, I
promise you as a guy that's on the radio, and
Rich you've said this before too. It's things a lot
(32:48):
worse when it's a real person that takes full accountability.
It says you suck. His name is Rob Johnson from
Wisconsin with a family of four, and he's there with
you think because I'm Rob and I listen, and I'm
telling you straight up, that hurts a lot more than
someone who like has no profile, he has no friends
on that account, you know, anonymous at Rob Johnson whatever
(33:12):
with a family that hurts At ask Gazer sixty nine
and is and his zero follower his pictures like a
firebird with a dog on the road. It's an egg,
right or an egg Like, I don't care. I will
never even look at that. So that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Those people don't matter. But like if you're if you
work inside of some really dysfunctional business and you have
to be anonymous in order to like a whistleblower in
order to get change, I'm fully on board with that.
But you guys, remember seventy six ers general manager like
seventy eight years ago, Brian Colangelo. He was using a
fake Twitter account to attack his own players, and he
quit after he was exposed.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
All right, of course, this is about that horrible story
of the mom that was harassing her daughter.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
The whole time.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Wasn't that turned into a a documentary or yeah, that
was the worst mom in the world. That should be
the name of the documentary. But Danny, haven't there been
athlete family members that accidentally like sort of gave up
their identity. Yep, Like this happens all the time. So again,
do with it what you will. We got more Coveno
(34:12):
on Ritch. Next, we're gonna go old school. We're gonna
talk about really key NFL matchups this week, so well,
we're gonna get a little NFL. Seriously, for the record, Rich,
when you've done watching Frankenstein on Netflix, I was referencing
unknown number the high school catfish. That's the story of
the mom with the burner account harassing her own daughter.
What the funniest part of that whole documentary was it's
old enough now where we were not spoiling anything. The
(34:36):
mom that was catfishing her own kid. Not only is
the worst mom in the world. Remember the funniest part
where she's like, oh she got you know, someone sent
her a thousand terrible message. She's like, yeah, but only
nine hundred and ninety nine of them were actually made. Yeah,
Like she kind I didn't start at I just leaned
into it for the next four years. She took accountability
for like ninety nine percent of it. Like, we're not
(34:59):
gonna go all the okay, cool, all right, listen, we
got more Covino on Wretch. We'll go old school a
lot of NFL. There are three particular games that I
think are so telling this week. I'll tell you what
those are. All next CNR on FSR these NFL report cards,
Biting the hand that feeds nine inch nails Stop, look
(35:23):
at you iOS, Sam 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
rack play of the day, and I want to let
this little nine inch nails breathe a little bit. Ooh well,
Warriors came back against the Spurs and Jimmy Butler closed
(35:43):
the door.
Speaker 9 (35:43):
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 (35:55):
Well, that was courtesy of ninety five point seven the game.
Warriors ready in that work and that's our tirect play
of the day. Big win for the Warriors. 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 tire installation tirerac dot com.
(36:17):
We tire buying should be Now look at the clock.
It is time to go old school, because we're old fools.
Let's go. There's a surgeon.
Speaker 7 (36:27):
Yea.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
What we gonna do is go back back into time,
throwing it back for a Thursday. Old School went fifty
hits at fifty after CNR give you the time capsule
topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Yeah, so we do this every Thursday. We get you involved.
Fox Sports Radio Nations, So be dialand eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox. Because we throw it back, we
reminisce and we put our noggints together. We saw this article,
we didn't read it. We saw this article. Danny G
read it from the Wall Street Journal articles Do you
mean you read a meme that I read the meme?
(37:05):
Danny G read the article. It really is from the
Wall Street Journal. I'm not making this up. And the
whole story, in a nutshell, is that young consumers. If
we all have young people in our life, teenagers, nieces, nephews,
if you know some young'in's. I got a sixteen year
old daughter, young consumers are ditching smart technology for old technology.
(37:26):
That's a trend. It's a phase. They're gonna be like,
I don't want to flip phone, I want my iPhone back.
In the article says gen Z's unplugging, swapping smartphones for
flip phones, CDs and early two thousands digital cameras in
a bid to take back control. Says that the movement
is spreading across campuses and TikTok where nostalgia meets rebellion.
(37:47):
Even artists like Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, and Loofy are
fueling the throwback trend with physical media releases. Owning something
real has become a new counter culture. There's always culture
than counterculture, and I see firsthand some absolute truth to
this in the form of vinyl. My daughter has vinyl.
(38:08):
She doesn't even have a record player. She has vinyl.
She has Frank Ocean albums, New Deftones, whatever comes out,
she wants the vinyl. Yeah, she has a digital camera.
I had to ask Spot, hey, Spot, you got an
old digital camera. And they like the old granny crappy,
pixelated quality of that camera because it feels old school
(38:28):
and nostalgic.
Speaker 9 (38:30):
They do.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Yeah, And and not only does my daughter like it,
all her friends think is the coolest thing, and they
want to borrow at music. I see it firsthand. Who
doesn't level polaroid?
Speaker 5 (38:39):
You get the physical and that comes out a little
like Granny is just what is fuzzy nostalgic about it?
Speaker 1 (38:46):
This hand, very trendy. Like I've been to weddings or
family parties stuff, Yeah, where they have the photo booth
where you get the little strip of pictures or her,
or they have Polaroid cameras around the party. Your daughter's
having her sweet sixteen coming up.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
You don't remind me.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Are you gonna throw those like disposable yellow cameras on
the table the coda not. It's not a bad idea.
But they're not cheap anymore. But when getting the photo
booth for her party, yeah, it had to have tangible photos,
like you don't want just the digital link or you
don't want to email to you like, it was a
priority that. No, they're printed out and we want them
(39:21):
because kids want that stuff. It's kind of refreshing when
you think about it, because I think we've gone to
digital where it's like even our photos of our kids
and digital, where are they sit in a folder somewhere
you never see them ever? Not I get that, but
I feel like, listen, it's like a nice little once
in a while throw back, like, oh, look a polar
ad camera. But what are you rather a polar aid
(39:43):
camera or your iPhone that has the sweetest camera, or
even an Android. The only good thing about Androids sorry,
is that it has a great camera. Do you really
want to trade that in for your Nokia flip phone
that had a whack and camera technology is just as good,
and in fact, a lot of it comes out before
Apple tchnology. No, I'm saying they have a good camera.
They have a great camera. I said that, but based
(40:03):
on that, based on the tangible nostalgia that young people
are rebelling for what is some old technology that you
think needs to come back. I think younger people love
the idea of and I say this real, They love
the idea of like the eighties and nineties because there
was technology, but it wasn't really there yet. That's why
(40:24):
young kids maybe they like readid Nintendo. We could download
these old Nintendo games and you know it had one
hundred games on this little console. Like people love that stuff,
but permanently it's a fun throwback. The same way you'd
be like, wait a minute, mom, but that's an eight
track player, and then after many be like, that's cool.
I'm gonna go back to my CD. But the life
they're living is a little soulless. It really is. It's
(40:45):
like too digital. And you know what, I'm glad you
brought a video game, so I'm gonna talk more about that.
So old school tech that you want to make a
comeback based on this, we'll get to it next. Could
be known Rich

kel Raley, we find that out later on, so we

find out during this show. I'm hoping to be six
pm Eastern. Yeah, but I was talking to Jolly Bush.
(02:02):
He's always eating Jolly b I call him Jolly Bursch.
Jolly Bursch, jolly, and he's jolly Jolly Bursch. I was
talking to him and jellyb it's a Filipino fans, like
a KFC of the Philippines. I have once. I did
not like it, but I've been told I should give
it another chance. Birsch loves it. Yeah, so tell you
by Yeah. So I was talking to Jolly Bush and
he goes, look, the nl MVP will probably be given
(02:25):
first because it's so obvious, and then they'll make everybody
wait for the al MVP. Obvious mean exactly, and you
know what, I could see them leaning into the theatrics
the dramatics that way because it's such a heated and
such a close competition even though it shouldn't be. Is
MLB gonna bring in Seacrest to be like after the break?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I think so we'll see either way. We we might
have Rob Parker on standby, or you're gonna hear randoma.
We got to get Rob Parker because he's gonna be
on obviously after us with the odd couple. He's our
MLB bro, so we'll hear from him. You know what,
I'm just being rich. If you need something to watch
the night. If you're bored by the idea of the
Jets Patriots. Later on, maybe we'll talk a little bit
(03:07):
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 (03:17):
I love Eddie Murty.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I think we talk about all the influential dudes and
women of our childhood. I think Eddie Murphy doesn't get
enough credit, So maybe we'll get to that weekin enough credit.
Everybody kisses his ass. Every comedian under the moon kisses
Eddie Murphy's ass and deserving me. So in the documentary
they do. I'll tell you that I'm saying. And before him,
there was Richard Pryor. Before Richard Prior, there was Red Fox,
(03:40):
and before Fox, and he's somebody else. Eddie's different, though, but.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
He even made a donkey a good character in a movie.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
He said, that's I like Eddie Murphy, but don't act
like he doesn't get his credit.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
He definitely does.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
He talks about Donkey being some of his hardest work, exhausting. Well,
I can't wait to see it. Well, let's go into
the show. NFL is king. We love this baseball season.
NBA's popping, but NFL is king. And every year we
get a kick out of what a lot of things
the schedule releases. No, Kings, didn't you read the protests?
Those dope stop in traffic. Get a job.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
You guys love the rankings.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
I love rank picks like USA Today and all the
media outlets, all of us get a job.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
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
(04:45):
and you can't stop me. And did you see the
latest The NFL owners want to put a stop to this. Yeah,
they said enough of the report cards. In fact, owners
like Woody Johnson, they're trying to dom the credibility of it.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
They're saying it's bogus. Actually that's the quote, right agus. Yeah,
the Jets owner is leading the way, and well, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Who wants to stop it with the weak ass owners
want to stop it. Like if you know, Danny, if
there was a list and you were ranked high on it,
you love the list. If there was a list then
you were ranked low on it, you'd be like bunk list.
So I get it. That is true. Every time they
come out with like talk radio lists, we're usually on them,
but never like where we want to be, so like, yeah,
they stink. But if we were number one, we were like, hell, yeah, yeah, baby,
(05:31):
we're on the list number one. If there was like
some weak ass made up list of like top Latino
broadcasters and it was like number four Steve Cavino, he'd
be like, just a great list, not bad. Yeah I
should be top three, but yeah, I'll take it. So
your thoughts, your thoughts on the list? Are you on
the list? I think this is really cool. I love
(05:52):
the player surveys that you could say it's petty and
bs because a lot of times it's spiteful, but remember
the players survey and Caitlyn Clark low and it's like, oh,
what a bunch of jealous biachies. So there's a lot
involved the facility, Like you said, how they treat their kids,
not just to welcome their families, not just in the NFL.
I'm saying all these player surveys in all sports to
(06:13):
be like, who do you find the most overrated in
the NBA, And it's like, WHOA, that's so that's the
sentiment among your peers. I feel like peer surveys do
hold a little cloud to me. You might think, wow,
is there much thought put into it? I like these
surveys because, for instance, even though the Chiefs are a
dynasty that have dominated, remember they had some f's Yeah,
(06:36):
I remember, like you know what player medical care? Yeah,
So for us, it's great fodder, great things to talk about,
and it's fun to speculate. So of course we're going
to love it. I could see how it rubs the
NFL and the owners the wrong way.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I think about it.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
You're spending so much money on these dudes and then
they come back. This is how you thank me with
an F on the report card. It's got to sting
a little bit from their perspective. Well, I'll give you
an example. I do believe there's a nugget of truth
to it. If we gave Fox Sports Radio rankings based
on places we've worked, I know where I would grade
(07:10):
it high and where i'd grade it low. Maybe we
used to get free snacks at other jobs. I was
gonna say number five. I remember there were jobs. There
were jobs I'll give you where we were the s
n Y in New York, which was the nets Snack
There was a free snack, a snack wall. Man neverber
thinking we all got fat too from that side. I
(07:31):
was gonna say, Rich, it's good that we don't have that.
A Fox Sports taking sonships home with us. Man.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, Rich is the biggest snacker I.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Know, Dude, I'd be ten pounds half the year if
we had a snack wall here here, but in a
different way. Yeah, maybe they do that on purpose. Wink wink,
not nod.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Oh does that mean nothing? Nothing is behind the scenes.
Oh okay, so no, absolutely, I know what you mean,
and we're joking of course.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
But you also have to factor in I'm not I
want a snack wall. You have to factor in the
vine created and everything, and and what it feels like
to work there. I think those are a lot of
untangibles that probably aren't factored in, like of cool, Well,
what's the staff like? Is everybody friendly? Is everyone cool there?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Like?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Do they accommodate you in certain ways. I don't think
a lot of that's factored in.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
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 5 (08:31):
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 1 (08:39):
Loraen is great. Were reaping all the benefits or even
the benefits of a a bunch of horn dog guys
that you know. Lorain is like an intelligent, beautiful woman,
and all of a sudden, all these listeners on the country.
You know, if you were smart, we should tell Loraina
to tell her fans of Fox Sports Radio like things
that we need. Yeah, you know what I mean? You
(09:01):
know what you really love Lorena gold toat Socks.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
New Pair.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Loraina tell them that you like, uh, you know, turkey jerky, Yeah,
some things that we want. Yeah, so that is our
snack wall, you should do that. But yeah, thoughts on
that at eight, seven, seven, nine nine on Fox. It's
not the biggest deal. But I did see that story
was breaking earlier today that the NFL is like, yeah,
we don't know if we like the player in a way.
(09:30):
All right, I'm just playing Devil's advocate and I'll be
Keanu Reeves. What do you think about it? It's a
bit hypocritical if they were to ask you, what would
you do? What would you do? Because it is anonymous,
crappy feedback. It's like, if you're on social media, don't
(09:50):
you look down on the jabbroni who chimes in anonymously
with some heavy criticism. It's like, if you're going to
say something rude and critical, you you should own up
to it, Like it's very cowardly to do it anonymously
like that.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
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 (10:23):
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,
(10:45):
Rich Davis sucks. That hurts and means a lot more
than someone anonymous with no picture profile whatsoever. And he's like,
Rich sucks it just does you know what I mean?
So I think this anonymous criticism is far more cowardly
and if you want to look at it that way,
it's easy to say some negative stuff when you don't
have to own up to it. I have a question now,
(11:06):
I'm sure not just human resources at iHeart or Fox
or a serious exam or any place we've worked or
work when they when companies do say hey, put your
feedback here, it's anonymous, like you know, like like a
blind survey. Don't you always feel like I'm doing it
for my work computer? It's really not. Yeah, I know
(11:27):
I feel that way. We saw trap happen once and again.
The guy didn't get in trouble or anything. But I
remember we were let's just say we worked to a
company not Ihearten Fox Sports Radio where there was a
town hall where like the boss of the company was speaking.
He's like, who has complaints? Hey, this is an open
forum where we could talk. And I remember one dude
(11:50):
did the whole like I got a complaint, and I
remember thinking, like, what are you doing? That's a trap.
As Danny said, it's a trap. He started talking about
everything from how much he was you know, wasn't paid,
to snacks in the kitchen too, it's fair and fair
time off and the you know, the studio updates and
(12:11):
I'm like, yo, this guy, what are you doing?
Speaker 5 (12:15):
So You're right there is something about to say that
guy doesn't work there anymore.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
He does it, but I don't think that's why. But
it's still like to me, like, no words spread around.
I wasn't at that meeting and I heard about it.
How about this rich When it comes to surveys, Yeah,
when you're on customer service and they ask you are
you willing to do the survey afterward? Do you hit
yes just because you think you're gonna be higher in line? Yes,
I do because I think if I may hang up
(12:41):
when you're done. Anyway, I'm willing to take the survey
because in my mind, no, I pretend like I'm going,
that's what I'm saying. If they say, if you're willing
to take a survey after this, press one, I'm like, yes,
if I press one, they'll answer my call quicker because
they want me to give a good survey. Is there
truth to that or not?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Though?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
That's the thing, and is there truth? How much truth
is there to this NFL survey of a question? Yeah,
and the owners are saying bogus. If you're at a restaurant,
I have done this, and I I am a man
of my word when I do this as a waiter
or waitress, ever been like, hey, can you do me
a favorite? Mean a lot? If you just go to
this website and put in this code and leave me
(13:22):
like a review, it'll mean a lot. This is when
I hand it over to the girlfriend, I'm like, yeah,
she's got the YELP thing going on. She could chill
more of a new business in town. Is like, but
I do think that's a great idea a good review.
I feel sometimes like, yeah you should, Yeah, that's that's
a nice thing to do. Especially just getting started. Yeah,
I'm not saying I wouldn't do that, absolutely would. All right,
(13:44):
So your thoughts on this? The NFL report cards? I
like them. I think they're fun. I think they're interesting.
Do you put any stock into it or is it
just stuff to bs about? Do you take any pride
into it, like if your team gets a high grade? Yeah,
damn right, I root for a class organization. Yeah, what
(14:05):
are your thoughts on it? They're trying to put a
stop to it. I think what it does could be known.
Think it's just fun for sports talk and sports fans
to see what's going on, and it keeps these owners
on their toes. It's fun bs banter for guys like
us and you know on the network and other networks.
But you're right, anonymous feedback is usually like not the
feedback I really put a lot of stock into However,
(14:28):
it is ammunition when the bad reviews go to the
teams that are struggling, because then it just gives more
ammunition for the fans to be like, that's why look
at these suck they got The players don't even feel respected,
And I bet you as some young players factor that
in like, yeah, I don't know, man, I hear bad
things about that organization. It must plant some sort of seed.
(14:50):
But truth to it or not. Of course, Woody Johnson
and some owners are gonna say there's no truth to it.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
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.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
A losing team. Just like how you mentioned the Chiefs
get some low grades.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah, I don't think Patrick Mahomes or Kelsey or Andy
Reid or anyone's really you know, hating life in Arrowhead.
So you know what your thoughts At eight, seven, seven,
nine nine on Fox, we're gonna get to some Judge
versus Cal Rowley make our final thoughts on that. We're
gonna go old school and fifty hits and talk some
more NFL. There's some games this weekend. Now, I know,
(15:38):
I sound like the Bachelor host when they always say
like this is the most dramatic season yet Honestly, there
are some telling games this week that are some of
the biggest games of the year so far, and I
think we've got to break down some of these key
matchups that are going to really sort of determine the
future of divisions in the National Football League. So we'll
(15:58):
break down some NFL mec go old school. What a

I'll do my pick staring our bonus pod over promise,
but I'll say this. I'll give you one hint. I'm
going to Arizona this weekend. I'm going to and the
forty nine ers are playing the weekst Cardinals, and they're
only favored by two. If they don't beat I was
gonna says, I'm sorry, beat the pooh out of the Cardinals.
(18:11):

Report Cards is always fun, but I think it's more
fun for I think it's more fun for us than anybody,
(18:57):
because I don't know at the barbershop you ever hear
or any of your buddies ever come up with that info, yo, man, none.
I think we just get a kick out you know,
so I just think it's fun fodder. But it is
interesting though. I think everyone does the little quick peruse
like you want to say, I want to see you
don't bite the hand that feeds. Though, Man, if you're
getting paid and they're treating you decent, you don't talk
(19:18):
smack about your company like that. And there's too many
organizations that are getting f's. Woody Johnson doesn't like it.
The NFL owners are trying to put a stop to
the NFL report cards, saying they're weak, they're bogus, they're
not even real, they're not legit. You hear that. Everyone
Kavino loves sticking up for billionaires. It's not that I'm
just saying these billionaires are making rich men at a
(19:38):
lot of a lot of these people. Let's go to
JP and okay, see, okay, see what's up JP.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
How you guys doing today?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
What do you think about the report cards? How owners like, yeah, yeah,
it's something done with this.
Speaker 6 (19:51):
Oh so I got two things all right? So first
thing you guys are talking about like anonymous, like leaving
anonymous and things like that, Like I get all that.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
I think hiding by and.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
The keyboard is weak. But at the same time, like
these billionaires are at the end of the day have
the opportunity to collude and they can say I'm not
gonna sign this free agent because he was talking smack
about the team you know that he was on before.
So I feel like the owners could you know, all
gang up and not sign a guy or lowball them
because he spoke out about how bad the situation was
(20:24):
at his other team.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
That's true. And you know what's interesting what matters to someone? Actually,
you know what, let me let me quote the different
strokes theme may what might be right for you may
not be right for some. A man he's born, he's
a man, me of me, of means, man of means,
man of means. Then a long came two. They got
(20:47):
nothing about their jeans. It's different for everyone. What might
mean something to you might mean Jack Diddeley squat to
someone else. Like we're talking to one of the guys
here it's anonymous. We're saying how this is an amazing,
big company that we love, but I don't have one
like Fox Sports Radio T shirt. There's no swag. That's
that true. We got one from where we are we
Danny Gene, Oregon but it was like a local our
(21:08):
affiliates and radio the only one Egen. Yeah, I was
gonna say, you need Rob Parking to slap a logo
on it. What I'm saying is logo on it. Someone
might say, like, you know, my complaint is that we
don't have any like you know, I never got like
a Fox Sports Radio tumbler, And someone else might be like,
I don't want that junk. So what you know, like
(21:30):
keeping nice? You never know what means something to people, right, Yeah,
I want a coozy like we have beautiful free parking outside.
There might be I work for companies that are like, yeah,
park where you know, fine parking? Yeah, but you see
that petty that sounds even though I agree, you know what,
I would love a nice Fox Sports radio zip up fleece,
nice little hoodie or something that would be nice. You
say hoodie, I did say.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Hod.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Why you don't call it that? I don't know that's
how we say it in New Jersey. Bro sweet, But like,
as long as those checks are clearing, isn't that the
most important?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
That's how I feel.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I hear you, dude, I'm I'm listening here, I am
kissing ass. I have no complaints about this place. But
you're right, you don't know what matters to someone else. Right,
let's say what's up to Ali Alejandro in Ventury County.
What's up many?
Speaker 7 (22:20):
You said hoody?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Did you said?
Speaker 3 (22:25):
You said HOODI?
Speaker 6 (22:27):
I like you said.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
You don't rock hood He said hoodie like he was
like saying, like like, ho, woud someone say with hummus like.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Almost you said you said that?
Speaker 7 (22:37):
Okay, these ratings things are yeah, they're not right. They're
not right. The ratings are not right. That's just like
my ex used to rate my marber, but she doesn't
go to my marble or my barber stops cutting my hair.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Yeah, I just there's there's a little bit of cowardly
behavior behind it. I don't like anything anonymous, I really don't,
but it's fun to talk about. There's no question. Well,
I'm just reality.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
It protects people sometimes sometimes you have to be anonymous
or be like, have an anonymous source.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Or how about you just stand up for what you
believe in. Maybe why do you have to hide him?
Because you don't want to throw you want to throw
your life away to stand up for something. Sometimes I'll
say this, there's apps that I don't think any woman
should ever be put in a terrible situation by dating
a piece of trash guy. But there are websites where like,
(23:37):
if a woman goes on a bed date with a guy,
she gives them like a review and then like all
of a sudden, he's on some app is like red
Flag Guy, and it's like, why guess you didn't get
along to Double Edged Sword? Yeah, so it's like, you
know again because you didn't like it?
Speaker 5 (23:52):
Know what?
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I hate? That's why I don't follow yelp, or, as
Cavino loves to call it, rotten potatoes not tomatoes, because
if you followed rotten tomatoes, we would never watch a
Sandler movie. We would never watch a dumb comedy or
a dumb reality show. If and if you go to yelp,
you'll go look at a restaurant and someone could be like, yeah, yeah,
food is great, but I didn't like my waiter, then
(24:15):
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.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
No, no, no, just.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Go ahead and just watch it and tell me what
you think you're talking about. That Kim Kardashian show it's
so bad. It's good. Sam.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
No, I've heard it's so bad that don't even waste
your time? Why and like hate watching won't even get
it done. On a side note, again, we're talking about
NFL report cards. They're trying to put a stop to it.
The owners want to put a stop to it.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Some of the owners, not the ones in the top
ones getting after saying it's not even legit. You ever
get a report card, Rich and you look through the comments.
So when you were a kid and you look through
the comments and the teacher says something weird about you,
You're like, what the hell, what's that about? He has
a weird odor?
Speaker 5 (24:55):
I remember saying something about he smells like pickled eggs.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
It's like every day. Remember I'm a kid, right And
I'm like, I don't even know if i want to
bring this home to mom right now, because you feel
weird about it. I remember, like the teacher wrote in
the comments, like, you know, Steven's a good kid or whatever.
But I gave him constructive criticism and he was a vegetable,
And I was like, I was a vegetable?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah? You know, as a great schooler. I was like
What does he mean? What does she mean by that?
I'm a vegetable? What do I got? Tomatohead? What is that?
What does that he mean? But I remember feeling like
the criticism hurts. It does, but sometimes people need to
hear it. But own it is my point. Own it, dude,
what's going to be more impactful? Ready, let's play it out? Okay,
all right, I gotta complain about the snack wall or
(25:41):
there's no snack, there's no swag, no freebies at Fox
Sports Radio. Anonymously putting a note in a box. Who
cares about that? Idiot? Or the guy who's the host
in the afternoons kindly writes a letter or it goes
up to the bass, knocks out the door, something that's
been on my mind and own up to it. It
(26:03):
might have greater impact if he knows who was coming from. Well,
I think uh, I'd go anonymous. You know what you
want to show? You want to show to be renamed
kimplaino and bitch Hey, uh boss man? Love working here,
just checking in and say what's up? And it's been
on my mind? Really could use some dipsy doodles and
some some some Fox Sports Radio key chains really make
(26:28):
a big difference around here. At a chance we can
get some free Monster energy drink, but to make more
impact than some anonymous person, because anyone could be an
idiot about that thing.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
So anyway, well, you guys wield a powerful sword. Because
years ago you complained about the coffee.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Look at that. It's the same exact coffee. That coffee.
We still got it. So anyway, complaints, report cards the end.
Now what are we really doing coffee machine here but water?
Oh yeah, I know. We're getting ready for Dan Byer's update.
We're also on the edge of our seat because waiting
for this MVP announcement. That's really what it comes down
(27:05):
to today. I got to give props to schoolbl and Skiens,
your favorite law firm. As Rich said before, schoobl and
Skiens both going to be Yankees soon enough, at least
one of those guys, Skeens, says anonymous source. By the way,
speaking up, yeah, anonymous source, A lot of his teammates
are saying that Skeens often talks about wanting to be
(27:28):
a Yankee. Anonymous source own up to it, and they
got the cy young. As you guys already know, and
you've heard a million times already. But who will be
your MVP? You're gonna find out today. Let's go to
our guy right now, Dan Buyer for an update. dB.
What's up man?
Speaker 8 (27:45):
Hey fellas getting shat for not only that announcement, but
you guys talked about a week eleven tonight Jets and Patriots.
The Jets did place wide receiver Garrett Wilson on injured
reserve because of a knee injury. He was already ruled
out tonight and now we'll miss their next four games.
Texans ruling out Siege Stroud the quarterback is going to
miss Sunday's matchup with the Titans. Davis Mills gets the start.
Raven's quarterback Lamar Jackson back at practice today. He's expected
(28:08):
to start in Cleveland on Sunday. Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco
limited with his shoulder injury. Falcons wide receiver Drake London
limited in practice today and no practice for these players.
Broncos running back JK Dobbins, Chiefs running back as A Pacheco,
and Lions ten ends Sam Laporta did look like brock
Perty was on the practice field for the second straight
day for the forty nine ers. Niners GM John Lynch
(28:28):
told KMBR today that it's not their intention to hold
out wide receiver Brandon Ayuk for the entire season as
he tries to come back from that knee injury suffered
last year. But right now, in his words, quote, there
are no absolutes end quote, so we may not see
Brandon Ayuk at all this season.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Man, good thing they gave him all that money last year.
Huh right, Yeah, it's it stinks that he got hurt.
But man, yeah, this hasn't worked out for the forty
nine ers since that move. You think pretty on smarts
play this weekend since I'm gonna be Yeah, I think so.
I think there's a little little extra motivation, a little oop.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
An anonymous source told me that they are really excited
that you guys are going to be there and they're
doing everything. In fact, Ricky Pearsall is like, I'm going
to practice too. I may come back and play as well.
I have a source.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
I can't tell you that. Who can't tell you?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
See what it means? It means nothing if you don't
know who said it says who? What if the Empire
did a whole update with fake an out of sources
and he could say a bunch of bs, but it's
like it was an anonymous source.
Speaker 8 (29:32):
The fake counts on Twitter becoming pretty pretty interesting. They
can catch somebody, not for sure.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Interestingly enough, I'm glad you said that, dB, And by
the way, thank you for the update. You de man
oh I wasn't done.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Yeah, no, that's okay.
Speaker 8 (29:44):
You guys are just talking about the Cardinals and forty
nine ers if they were done.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
He's getting more of a covenio.
Speaker 8 (29:52):
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.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Back to you guys, The Brunson things big because New
York sports having a rough go at it. The Yankees
and Mets came up short. The Jets and the Giants
are stinking like Abe Lincoln and the reality is the
Knicks or what New York's got buzzing right now with Brunson.
If that would have been worse, that just it would
have added to the misery. Yeah, nothing new, I heard
(30:25):
Dan Patrick r pal DP, who were filling in for
By the Way Wednesday. Wednesday, dan Patrick was saying that
New York sports sometimes we forget that they've had a
bad run. Yankees, oh nine Giants with a with a
randoh surprise has been the only really positive in New
York sports in the last couple decades. Not even the teams.
(30:48):
The city too taken a hit, just not that. Yeah,
gotta be there, got to play their reputation that it
once had. But speaking of the anonymous source, and it
all ties together, perfect though perfect though. We talked about
the NFL report cards. Danny g you sent me a story?
Was it commito?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Bet?
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Jennifer Lawrence? Yeah, it's funny with said Jennifer Lawrence said
that she loves she has like fake accounts and she
likes fighting with fans.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yeah, she likes control people burner accounts.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
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.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
I call it Finsta accounts, she says, fake Instagram. She
has a secret TikTok account. I have like a secret
life on TikTok. She says, I get in fights in
the comment section and one girl was like, how old
are you?
Speaker 7 (31:39):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
I'm not saying guys don't do this though. Don't think
it's sexist. But my wife has told me most women
she knows have some type of secondary account where they
just check up on things or they want to look
at women that they don't want that girl to know
they're checking their page. Yeah, my girlfriend definitely definitely has
fake accounts for that reason, not like you know, she's
(32:02):
pretending to be a fake person that I know of,
but just for the reason that Rich said to check
up on certain things and spy on other people. And
I don't know, it's a whole racket going on. It
is more of a woman thing. I don't know one
dude except for Kevin Durant that has another feel. If
women and Kevin Durant and a few trolls out there, now,
if people have these accounts, right, if people have these accounts,
(32:26):
does it sort of go along with the whole conversation
about the NFL report cards, Like if you're anonymous, does
it really mean anything? It doesn't. It's a faceless, nameless
as you always say, Rich agg on Twitter is a
nobody with no profile. That's why it's things harder, I
promise you as a guy that's on the radio, and
Rich you've said this before too. It's things a lot
(32:48):
worse when it's a real person that takes full accountability.
It says you suck. His name is Rob Johnson from
Wisconsin with a family of four, and he's there with
you think because I'm Rob and I listen, and I'm
telling you straight up, that hurts a lot more than
someone who like has no profile, he has no friends
on that account, you know, anonymous at Rob Johnson whatever
(33:12):
with a family that hurts At ask Gazer sixty nine
and is and his zero follower his pictures like a
firebird with a dog on the road. It's an egg,
right or an egg Like, I don't care. I will
never even look at that. So that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Those people don't matter. But like if you're if you
work inside of some really dysfunctional business and you have
to be anonymous in order to like a whistleblower in
order to get change, I'm fully on board with that.
But you guys, remember seventy six ers general manager like
seventy eight years ago, Brian Colangelo. He was using a
fake Twitter account to attack his own players, and he
quit after he was exposed.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
All right, of course, this is about that horrible story
of the mom that was harassing her daughter.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
The whole time.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Wasn't that turned into a a documentary or yeah, that
was the worst mom in the world. That should be
the name of the documentary. But Danny, haven't there been
athlete family members that accidentally like sort of gave up
their identity. Yep, Like this happens all the time. So again,
do with it what you will. We got more Coveno
(34:12):
on Ritch. Next, we're gonna go old school. We're gonna
talk about really key NFL matchups this week, so well,
we're gonna get a little NFL. Seriously, for the record, Rich,
when you've done watching Frankenstein on Netflix, I was referencing
unknown number the high school catfish. That's the story of
the mom with the burner account harassing her own daughter.
What the funniest part of that whole documentary was it's
old enough now where we were not spoiling anything. The
(34:36):
mom that was catfishing her own kid. Not only is
the worst mom in the world. Remember the funniest part
where she's like, oh she got you know, someone sent
her a thousand terrible message. She's like, yeah, but only
nine hundred and ninety nine of them were actually made. Yeah,
Like she kind I didn't start at I just leaned
into it for the next four years. She took accountability
for like ninety nine percent of it. Like, we're not
(34:59):
gonna go all the okay, cool, all right, listen, we
got more Covino on Wretch. We'll go old school a
lot of NFL. There are three particular games that I
think are so telling this week. I'll tell you what
those are. All next CNR on FSR these NFL report cards,
Biting the hand that feeds nine inch nails Stop, look
(35:23):
at you iOS, Sam 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
rack play of the day, and I want to let
this little nine inch nails breathe a little bit. Ooh well,
Warriors came back against the Spurs and Jimmy Butler closed
(35:43):
the door.
Speaker 9 (35:43):
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 (35:55):
Well, that was courtesy of ninety five point seven the game.
Warriors ready in that work and that's our tirect play
of the day. Big win for the Warriors. 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 tire installation tirerac dot com.
(36:17):
We tire buying should be Now look at the clock.
It is time to go old school, because we're old fools.
Let's go. There's a surgeon.
Speaker 7 (36:27):
Yea.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
What we gonna do is go back back into time,
throwing it back for a Thursday. Old School went fifty
hits at fifty after CNR give you the time capsule
topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Yeah, so we do this every Thursday. We get you involved.
Fox Sports Radio Nations, So be dialand eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox. Because we throw it back, we
reminisce and we put our noggints together. We saw this article,
we didn't read it. We saw this article. Danny G
read it from the Wall Street Journal articles Do you
mean you read a meme that I read the meme?
(37:05):
Danny G read the article. It really is from the
Wall Street Journal. I'm not making this up. And the
whole story, in a nutshell, is that young consumers. If
we all have young people in our life, teenagers, nieces, nephews,
if you know some young'in's. I got a sixteen year
old daughter, young consumers are ditching smart technology for old technology.
(37:26):
That's a trend. It's a phase. They're gonna be like,
I don't want to flip phone, I want my iPhone back.
In the article says gen Z's unplugging, swapping smartphones for
flip phones, CDs and early two thousands digital cameras in
a bid to take back control. Says that the movement
is spreading across campuses and TikTok where nostalgia meets rebellion.
(37:47):
Even artists like Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, and Loofy are
fueling the throwback trend with physical media releases. Owning something
real has become a new counter culture. There's always culture
than counterculture, and I see firsthand some absolute truth to
this in the form of vinyl. My daughter has vinyl.
(38:08):
She doesn't even have a record player. She has vinyl.
She has Frank Ocean albums, New Deftones, whatever comes out,
she wants the vinyl. Yeah, she has a digital camera.
I had to ask Spot, hey, Spot, you got an
old digital camera. And they like the old granny crappy,
pixelated quality of that camera because it feels old school
(38:28):
and nostalgic.
Speaker 9 (38:30):
They do.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Yeah, And and not only does my daughter like it,
all her friends think is the coolest thing, and they
want to borrow at music. I see it firsthand. Who
doesn't level polaroid?
Speaker 5 (38:39):
You get the physical and that comes out a little
like Granny is just what is fuzzy nostalgic about it?
Speaker 1 (38:46):
This hand, very trendy. Like I've been to weddings or
family parties stuff, Yeah, where they have the photo booth
where you get the little strip of pictures or her,
or they have Polaroid cameras around the party. Your daughter's
having her sweet sixteen coming up.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
You don't remind me.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Are you gonna throw those like disposable yellow cameras on
the table the coda not. It's not a bad idea.
But they're not cheap anymore. But when getting the photo
booth for her party, yeah, it had to have tangible photos,
like you don't want just the digital link or you
don't want to email to you like, it was a
priority that. No, they're printed out and we want them
(39:21):
because kids want that stuff. It's kind of refreshing when
you think about it, because I think we've gone to
digital where it's like even our photos of our kids
and digital, where are they sit in a folder somewhere
you never see them ever? Not I get that, but
I feel like, listen, it's like a nice little once
in a while throw back, like, oh, look a polar
ad camera. But what are you rather a polar aid
(39:43):
camera or your iPhone that has the sweetest camera, or
even an Android. The only good thing about Androids sorry,
is that it has a great camera. Do you really
want to trade that in for your Nokia flip phone
that had a whack and camera technology is just as good,
and in fact, a lot of it comes out before
Apple tchnology. No, I'm saying they have a good camera.
They have a great camera. I said that, but based
(40:03):
on that, based on the tangible nostalgia that young people
are rebelling for what is some old technology that you
think needs to come back. I think younger people love
the idea of and I say this real, They love
the idea of like the eighties and nineties because there
was technology, but it wasn't really there yet. That's why
(40:24):
young kids maybe they like readid Nintendo. We could download
these old Nintendo games and you know it had one
hundred games on this little console. Like people love that stuff,
but permanently it's a fun throwback. The same way you'd
be like, wait a minute, mom, but that's an eight
track player, and then after many be like, that's cool.
I'm gonna go back to my CD. But the life
they're living is a little soulless. It really is. It's
(40:45):
like too digital. And you know what, I'm glad you
brought a video game, so I'm gonna talk more about that.
So old school tech that you want to make a
comeback based on this, we'll get to it next. Could

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
