A warrior sort of night. NBA is back. Which means you got some foosball tomorrow. You got the World Series on Friday. NBA is here. There's lots going on, so we're pumped about it, man. It was really, really great to have. And I know we downplayed it, but it was great to have some NBA last night. I mean, there was nothing else going on, so I could accept it there, but I'm not going to be double talk Dicky. Yesterday I said it's much like Christmas decorations at Home Depot. Actually, I said that they should not be up right now. I feel you though. It's Halloween time. It feels out of place and out of time and too soon and too early. But it was nice. Like you said, we didn't have a whole lot to do last night. You know, you go home, it's just a random Tuesday. I already ate my tacos. Yeah. What am I going to do? All right, well, NBA is here. Dude, I enjoyed that Rockets game. Double overtime. That game was wild. I was thinking, here's the defending champs. Everyone's thinking that OKC is going to be even better this year and they're about to lose. And then sure enough, SGA just hitting these shots, they push it to double overtime and they end up winning the game. Man, when the Rockets had every chance to win that game. You know what they say. Nothing like October basketball. No, but it would have been wild and ironic if they lost that first game, man. Also, Rich, you got to think that not everybody's a baseball guy. Like on the show. We like all three major sports, but not everybody loves MLB the way we do. So right now NBA is in with their NFL watching. So Danny 4 we like hot dog eating Joey Chestnuts. Our friends. We have him on every year. Don't forget him. But all right, so I'll admit better than nothing. But I still won't hone into the NBA until at least the World Series is over. And I'm not going to take back what we both said yesterday. It feels too early for NBA and the best season ever was when it started on Christmas, but both games, I'm sorry your Lakers lost Danny G. But Luca played great. What, 42, 43 points. Three points. Yeah. Had a big game. Both games were actually really exciting. And the Golden State warriors looked really good hitting shots. You could argue they have the best starting five in the NBA right now. For the first, you know, night of NBA was pretty exciting. Can you keep up that level of play and the competitiveness and, you know, people playing and everyone healthy. We'll see how long that lasts. But much like the Christmas decorations up at Home Depot, way too prematurely. It reminds me of a story. Before Spot was our video guy and producer, we used to have a producer, Danny G. His name was Sammy. Sammy, sweetheart. Sammy. Not Sammy. I was Sammy, Iowa. Sammy. Sammy. We just called him Sammy J. He's actually a contributor now on the History Channel. He's one of the talking heads on the History Channel. I was going to say after I tell the story, you might not want to expose what he does now. Sammy's his nickname. I know. So he was our producer, and we were all in our 20s, and he was a guy that was very anxious to, let's say, get some female attention. Not a guy that was the smoothest with the ladies back then. Right. And we had some girls on our show. Camino and I were working with Maxim, so we would have, like the Maxim hometown hotties on. Oh, yeah. And it was sort of, you know, the brand in which we did our show back then. And by the way, that's sort of what led us into sports radio. Obviously, we've always been fans of sports. We played sports. But if you remember, in the late 1900s, early 2000s, Maxim was a lifestyle magazine that was all around comedy, lifestyle, entertainment, women in sports. So your programming has always been high iq? Yeah, without a doubt. But sports was a part of that brand and that lifestyle. So that brought us to all these super bowl broadcasts and everything. That's just a little history on what we do. Yeah, well, the history of. Of our show is just what you said. Think of the Maxim brands from the old 1900s. Sports, entertainment, relationships, gadgets, you know, guy stuff, essentially. So what used to be considered guy stuff? So there was this really cute model that took a liking to our producer, Sammy. And this all ties into when something's just too early. The girl tells our old school producer, we should hang out this weekend. I'm really feeling you. And he was like, oh, my God, dude, she wants that. She actually threw out an indecent proposal of sorts. I mean, I wasn't Gonna. I wasn't gonna say that. It was sort of like. She's like, if you come by, I'll. I'll make your wildest dreams come true. Put it that way. Oh, yeah. So you can imagine. Anxious20 Something was like, Dude, I can't wait to hang with her. She goes, yeah, let's hang out. What do you say? Saturday, 9 o'. Clock? And I was like, dude, I'm pumped for your weekend, man. Look at you. Gonna go get some. Meanwhile, we're broadcasting out of New York City, out of Manhattan. And this girl that was a guest on our show, this hometown hottie, was from Philadelphia. So an hour and a half, two hours drive, right? Yeah. I ask you not. He hears, let's hang out Saturday at 9, shows up and knocks on her door, the address she gave him. At 9am 9am in the morning, he calls us up. He's like, no, I'm here. She's not answering. What should I do? We're like, wait, where are you? He goes, yeah, the girl, you know, the one that said she wanted to get with me, she said tomorrow, nine. And we're like, do you think maybe she meant 9:00pm Yeah, I mean, just a little overly ambitious. I think it's like Jim Carrey in Dumber. Yes. I was just thinking that. By the way, true story, though that's not even like dumb and dumb. It doesn't sound like a real story. I'm telling Spot. Back me up. True story. No, it happened, man. It was embarrassing. And brunch. What about brunch? You know, hey, like I'm going to give the guy benefit of the doubt. Maybe it was brunch. What? But it was just. It makes you think sometimes, you know, something could be too early. 9am probably not what she was thinking. NBA in October. Too early. Little early. But luckily two good games and luckily nothing else. Really to watch. Yes. You know what it's like to. Never too good to be early. When. When are dinner reservations always available? At 4, 4:30 or 5. Because no one wants to eat at 5. Go to Vegas. They're like, all right, go call up a fancy restaurant in Vegas. Be like, what reservation times they have. Like, we could fit in at 4:30 or 10:30. It's like, man, if you have a little kid, you want to eat at 5. You know what sucks? When you get to your destination, your vacation destination, too early and you can't check into your hotel room yet. So you got that weird window of jet lag. Yeah. Like you just want to sleep. You just Want to use the bathroom, you know? Yeah, I just want to freshen up and lay down. Freshen up. And now you have to like walk around or maybe, you know, you got to hit the pool and make the most of it and all. But still there's that anticipation of can I get into the room yet or no. I'm a firm believer in that. If hotels all went into cahoots and said, hey, we'll have an option where it's like 25 or 50 bucks early check in, so many of us would be like, yeah, I'll bite the bullet on that. Because the reality is who wants to wait till 4 o'? Clock? You're right. How many times you get somewhere? If they said for an extra 50 bucks, noon, you'd be like, sure. It's usually like check INS at 3 and you're there like, you know, 10am My dinner reservation's at 4:30. I gotta go to dinner. And you don't know what to do at that time. I'll tell you what though, the obvious tip of the day here is to always pack a bathing suit in your carry on so that you always have that on your person. So when you're there floating around, you at least hit the pool and waste some time floating around. Yeah, that's how the NBA felt last night. Like it's soon, way too early. We're not even at Halloween yet, let alone sweat. It was a good pool though. Yeah, it was a good pool. People had fun in the pool. You're right, Danny, I do have an analogy and a thought, an additional one. Because on the network and on Fox, espn, everywhere, there's a lot of chat of a lot of chatter of last night. The NBA heavily leaning into nostalgia. Well, can I say first and first off and first and first mostly is that last night was the debut of Michael Jordan, NBA on NBC. Insight to excellence. And he talked about halftime, that he hasn't picked up a basketball in years and that he's officially done shooting around and even playing and picking up that hit a lot of people in the heart. Like, oh my God, Michael Jordan is done playing basketball. I mean, he's not the first guy to say stuff like that. Derek Jeter says he never picks up a bat, he never swings, but it is Michael Jordan. So it's way different. And that's what went viral. I feel like it's like, like the plot line of some lame, like sports movie. Like I haven't touched the ball since I, like since I left. But you know what it is? It's And I've seen a lot of buzz about this too on social media and I thought the same thing. I don't know if it's at the Mike Tyson level, but it's almost there. Where Michael Jordan could say anything and it's intriguing. He could talk about brushing his teeth and like, oh, man, did you hear that insight to excellence last night? Oh, did he? He starts in the upper left of his mouth and then he brushes the bottom. Oh, man. I do two minutes on the top, two minutes on the bottom and you're like, oh, my God, Michael. Michael Jordan does four minutes of toothbrushing, man. You know, he's one of those guys that could say absolutely anything. And we're going to come back talking about it. He told a long story and if it wasn't Michael Jordan, you would have said, what a weak ass story. But because it's Michael Jordan, it's an amazing story. How he was so nervous to take a free throw act. Take a listen. Do you ever pick up a ball and just shoot? I haven't picked up a ball in years. No. Come on. Just like walk past. There's got to be a hoop somewhere at your place. You don't see a huge anywhere around here, right? I, I don't. It's the last time you picked up a basketball and shot. I was at the writer cup. Yeah. And I rented a house from, from the owner. Sure. He came over to do pictures and grandkids and I was meet and greet and thank him for, for allowing me to stay in the house. And he had a basketball court. He says, I want you to shoot one free throw. I said, really? And I already paid for the, I already paid for the houses. I like that you got to see me. So when I stepped up to shoot the free throw, that's the most nervous I've been in years. Stop it. In years. Stop it. Come on. And reason being is those kids heard the stories from the parents about what I did 30 years ago. Right. So the expectation is 30 years prior and I haven't touched the basketball. I hope you switched it. Absolutely. Yeah. I mean, he wouldn't have told the story if you didn't. But I'm saying anything. Michael says, you're sort of like. And I feel like Rich tuned out halfway through that story. These little kids were heckling me to shoot. And I took that personally. Already paid for the house, Brown. I think it was $13,000. Yeah. Rich hates it when details are in stores. Oh, detail. Give me. Yeah. When someone's like, you know, I was doing a parlay. It was a three leg or four. Like get to the story. But it's Michael Jordan, so we're intrigued. They're leaning heavily into nostalgia. And I heard Colin saying how you can't be leaning on the nostalgia. I'm pretty sure Doug had the approach of. He enjoyed Dan by. He enjoyed the nostalgia angle. Yes. He made a post on social media that he said, like, this is my king, Jordan. So he didn't enjoy it. Did you hear Allen Iverson talking about Jordan? I don't know if this is an old clip. Actually, I've heard this before, but I saw this clip. He's wearing a. He's wearing a Yankee hat and sunglasses. He's like, look, I'm in the NBA, played alongside guys like, Jordan played Jordan. And he's like, I respect him and love this guy so much. I get nervous around him. I can't even talk around the guy. So, I mean, we live in a culture rich. Our generation is a generation that feeds and lives off of nostalgia. Lives off it. So it brings me to my big thought of the day, which is you're breaking out Round ball rock. Everyone loves it, right? Basketball. Yeah. I'm gonna dunk it. You got round ball rock. You got mj, Mike Tirico's voice, which was cool. You got Tirico. You got. Listen, they're hitting on everything. But then again. So I feel that. And then I say, well, I remember what Tony Soprano said on the Sopranos, which is, remember when is the lowest form of conversation. Remember when is the long the lowest form of conversation. Well, you know what? I always took from that. I respect Tony Soprano. Gotta respect the Sopranos. I think it's always fun to look back. You just can't live there too long, that there's nothing wrong with looking back. In fact, what do we always say? That two things can be true. The NBA could be leaning too much on nostalgia. Nostalgia could be amazing, and it could also be a crutch. And I feel like all these things could be true on the Sopranos. What Tony was saying there is like, this whole night we've been reminiscing. And that's fun and all, but, like, let's. Let's bring it up to current date a little bit. Like, even if you're hanging out with your buddies, it's always a remember when conversation. And that's fun. When you realize that's all you got. That's when it's stale. And that's when you realize, like, yeah, we got nothing more Than that. Yeah. They were interviewing the current stars of the NBA and they asked them, what's your favorite NBA on NBC moment in the 90s? And most of them were like, I don't have one. I was too little. Or I wasn't born yet. Anthony Edwards said, I don't know Michael Jordan. So yeah, for the younger generation, that's. None of that's going to hit with them. It's going to hit with us, but not them. For the younger generation, it's all new to them. What do they know about John Tesh? Probably nothing, but it's new to them. Right? So nostalgic. That part is. That part of it is. But if we lean too much in the past, that's not going to play well for the younger audience. But like I said, when I feel Tony Soprano was saying there should be a mix of it, like let's talk about something current or let's bring it up to speed now, or else we got nothing. I think the NBA does that just by having young players in the league. And that's the perfect balance. Like, I'm not against it. I think it's cool because you're. You're bringing some of the old school cats back into what they enjoyed and what made that 90s era so great. And then for anyone too young to remember, it's new to them anyway. So who cares? What did Mr. Miyagi teach Daniel LaRusso to wax on, wax off, balance, Danielson. It's all about balance. Because if you thought the wax off part was a little weird, hey, go wax off. What if you balance nostalgia just the right way. The example that Covino is alluding to, if you get drinks with an old college buddy, let's say you break your conversations down into a pie chart of 100%, if 50% of your conversations. Like, yo, remember when John in college got drunk and did this? Ahaha. But you got to mix that in with. Yeah, tell me about your kids. I see your kids playing football and your daughter. How's your wife doing? Hey, tell me about your job. Like you, right? You can't live 100 in. Hey, remember when we were at that frat party? You know, if you can't vibe on what's going on now, that means like all your friendship and all your love is based on things that happened in the past. And you do notice that a lot with some old school friends and old school relationships, it's like, yeah, we got nothing here now. Nothing in common now. No conversations to have now. You know, you want to Talk about, I don't know, a new band that's out and they still want to talk about Pearl Jam. And it's like, ah, you know, can we talk about something now? And you realize that your friendship and your relationship only lives then it has to be a great balance. And I think that's what the NBA is going for. I don't think the NBA is going for old school nostalgia. That's impossible. You got young players on the court, a league that is really banking on some young stars to step it up. So why not throw in a little, a little dipping of nostalgia. I didn't see it live, guys. I thought Thunder rockets was 7:30am Eastern this morning. So I didn't see it live. And I said, wow, I missed a heck of a game last night. It was great. A very reasonable mistake. Oh, 7:30pm I'll eat my cereal and go back to bed. I thought it was odd, you know, to open the season at 4:30 in the morning on the West Coast. Brutal. You were anxious. I don't know if you guys caught this or not because you mentioned Doug earlier and on Doug's show I brought this up to the guys and no one caught it. Did you notice the graphic on the Jordan with The Roman numeral 6? No. No. I mean I usually catch that, send it to our group text. But this is the point of, in the past, Jordan's got six rings. They are highlighting this graphic on this segment about six rings. And my issue with it is number one, I think they were bringing Jordan in to kind of try to quiet the Barkley Shaq hate of the NBA. Because we did talk last year about how it's counterproductive if Shaq and Barkley just always rag on the young guys. Yes, yes. But when you're sitting there having Michael Jordan there and what appears to be an hour long conversation that's going to be spread out through the season. I got that vibe and I heard the same thing. Yeah. How are you going to, how is that going to talk about today's NBA? I think we're just going to get more stories about Airbnb and you're right. Maybe it's him and Tirico. You're right. They did a two hour hang and they're going to cut it up for six months. I'm pretty sure that's what it's going to be, to be honest. Why are they wearing the same stuff in every single little clickbank? Mike Tirico really likes light blue, but you know what a good balance. But you'll take that, Jordan. You'll take it because it's Jordan. But I want to just throw out a couple. A couple notable franchises and, you know, Naked Gun, Karate Kid, Alien, Doctor who. They just brought back Queer Eye again a couple years ago. Girl Meets World instead of Boy Meets World. Saved by the Bell. We did Fuller House. It's Halloween season, 28 years later. Amityville Horror Halloween. Like, the idea of nostalgia hits our demo hard. Hello. The When We Were Young tour. Just the wrapped up Mega kid. But I'm saying World Coming Back just announced eight years later, they're gonna redo Prison Break. Yeah, dude. Because our generation really thirsts. They're like thirst and Howl the Third. It's thirsting. It's getting diluted, though. But there's this, like, social media has this obsession or it's very popular to be like, go and live back in the 90s. That's the nostalgia. Cuz like, I guess they're saying that, like, right now is too crazy and not enjoyable. No, there's a reason for that. Like the 90s were. Oh, economy is doing well. Reason for that is. And if you follow the trends and you're up on speed to what people are talking about on social media, those were the last years that we had a monoculture. The last time in our life where we all were into the same thing. We're all watching Michael Jordan country and now spread all over the place. And everyone has separate interests based on what the algorithm decides for you or you decide for the algorithm. We're trying to figure that out and how that works. But these monoculture times that we lived in is the reason why we like to go back because we all have those same memories. Steve Covina makes an amazing point. We've talked about that. Monoculture. That's an important word to the cell phone. And social media ruined all of that. So it's easy to go back to that time to understand. Wait, Rich, you had mono in high school too? Yeah. I'm surprised I never did. I'm surprised I never did. I made out with a lot of randos. So the monoculture was when we all watched the same show on Tuesday night. Everyone was watching this movie when we all wanted to be like Mike. The. The last time the monoculture existed, with the rare exception of a yo, Game of Thrones is so big. Everyone's watching. Or this show is big, but that's a rarity. Right? Oh, the. The Breaking Bad finale. These are more anomalies. Right. When we were younger, social media lines up perfectly when you think of when was the last time we all quoted the same movies? Wedding crashers, Old school. Super bad. Super bad. Early 2000s. They're all mid 2000s. You know what came out in the mid 2000s? MySpace, Facebook, social media, YouTube, iPhones at 07. So when you think about, wow, it's weird, we haven't really all quoted the same things since the mid-2000s, when we got social media and smartphones. That's why nostalgia hits so hard with every. And resonates the way it does is because we sort of yearn for that, because it's gone and we'll never have it again. Because everyone lives in their own lane and they're doing their own things and they're watching their own thing, and we don't have that. That iconic celebrity like Michael Jordan that we had back then. We just don't. Because whoever that is for me, Sam might not even know him. I feel bad for the younger generation that they don't get to share in these moments because. Because where we all bond in the monoculture, our kids never will. If I say Saturday mornings, and me, you, Danny, Dan Byer. I was saying we're all relatively the same age. Or if I said, hey, you wake up, you have some cereal you want. Sunday morning, you zip down the steps in excitement. Yeah. You slide with your socks, you're eating a bowl of cereal, reading the back of the box while you're watching cartoons. And then I'm like, then if I said, hey, guys. And remember, like, Saved by the Bell was on and then wrestling, and then American Gladiators, Muppet Babies and all that. The cartoons. Yeah. But I'm saying if I paint that picture, you're like, yep, that was my childhood. Your kid, my kid, everyone's kid is doing something so different from each other that when they're in college, they're not going to be able to say, yeah. Do you remember when we were kids, I watched Gravity Falls and some other kids, like, nah, never watched that. I was more of a. You know, I was more of a spongebob kid. Like, so many choices, so many streaming services, overly saturated, and everyone's in their own pocket of whatever interest they have. So if the NBA or anybody wants to bring it back to that iconic moment, not only is it nostalgic to us and it's resonating to us, but it's telling a younger person, like, yo, the whole world was into this right here. It's hard to convince your buddies to invest in the same show as you. So you have Something to talk about. I've been telling you guys for the last week. Chad Powers. So good. Hey, I'm watching the Perfect Neighbor. I'm busy. You know, everyone's doing their own thing now. Fast, you know, rewind 15 years. Hey, dude, you watching True Blood? Yeah. You are. Because it's on Sunday night on hbo and that's really what. That's what you watched. Hey, you watching the Wire? Whatever. It was always the show. That's where it sort of stopped. So the question based on all this is nostalgia? Is it good for basketball? Is it good for NBA or not? Because there was a lot of it yesterday. And I think that's a pocket that we. We hold fondly in our hearts. And, and I think that the younger generation could learn a lot from it because they don't have it. They don't have it at all. So I think it's. I'm telling you, it's so based on if the NBA plays the balance game for every Michael Jordan, for every round ball rock and Michael Jordan piece and a cool graphic from the 90s. They need to do a piece on Wemby or, or a cool new segment with SGA or something I saw. I mean, SGA is what, in his eighth year and Giannis, I read, is in his 13th year or something ridiculous like that. These dudes should be way bigger names in our world, but they're not because we're just oversaturated with nonsense. Really quick, too. You got to do it. You got to present it properly in small doses and quick edits. Because, Rich, I've tried to show YouTube clips of magic Johnson and Michael Jordan and Larry Bird and guys like that to our teenagers, they tune out a couple minutes into those YouTube clips. They just do. Well, that's insane, huh, when you think about it. But Rich nailed it. I think it's a perfect balance. It's a perfect balance, and I think that's going to make some difference in the NBA. Or is it too much nostalgia for your liking? It's a young man's game. They don't care about it. Your thoughts. 87799 on Fox. We gave you ours. Plus we got Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom. We do it live and midweek Matrix. We do every midweek. Can I also just point out for the younger kids that don't really know Jordan because they only know him through highlight for him and all that, could it be fair to say that, like, it's, you know, if you heard your parents talk about someone that you didn't see that you thought must have been cool. Like, I don't know much about Ali, but Ali would mean a lot because you knew your parents thought he was awesome, right? Oh man, we're running late.

Sad Oligarch Season 2 Since we left you in 2023 after season one, many politically motivated Russian millionaires have continued to die in suspicious circumstances. We dig deeper into these odettes which include everything from mushroom poisoning and mysterious heart attacks, the window clumsiness and suicide by decapitation. One thing we have found since we started back in 2022 is the information on the suspicious deaths has become Much harder to find. Not just that. It seems as if state controlled media in Russia is being utilized to purposely confuse and contradict the reporting that gets put out. As you can probably imagine, season two gets very weird. Listen to Sad Oligarch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. The Internet is something we make, not just something that happens to us. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech and culture podcast. There are no girls on the Internet. There are no girls on the Internet is not just about tech. It's about culture and policy and art and expression and how we as humans exist and fit with one another. Another. In our new season, I'm talking to people like Anil Dash, an OG entrepreneur and writer who refuses to be cynical about the Internet. I love tech. You know, I've been a nerd my whole life. But it does have to be for something like. It's not just for its own sake. It's a fascinating exploration about the power of the Internet for both good and bad. They use WhatsApp to get the price of rice at the market that is often 12 hours away. They're not going to be like, we don't like the terms of service. They therefore we're not trading rice this season. It's an inspiring story that focuses on people as the core building blocks of the Internet. Platforms exist because of the regular people on them. And I think that's a real important story to keep repeating. I created There are no girls on the Internet because the future belongs to all of us. New episodes every Tuesday and Friday. Listen to There are no girls on the Internet on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. So random. Iowa Sam is playing basketball. Who gets shouted out? Moses Malone. Dr. J and Moses Malone. Yeah. So random. But Rich and I once had an intern. Her name was Chloe, I remember. Yeah. And she's like, you know, my mom was one of the girls in the video for this. And we're like, what, your mom? Yeah. Basketball's our favorite sport. So random. Love the way you dribble up and down the court. So is Covino and Rich is Fox Sports Radio. We got spot on the video. Hey, man, look at me rocking out. I'm on the radio and the video system of a down style. Covino and Rich fsr. Covino and Rich fsr. You could watch what you hear. You got Danny G. Super producing at 87799 on Fox. Sam is on the ones and twos and DB is on your updates. In just a few minutes, stick around for Dan Beyer. But getting to your phone calls about nostalgia. NBA is back. They're leaning into the nostalgia. Some people, like Colin, are saying, ah, move forward. It's a different day. It's a different time. Lots of young stars. He's saying that's the mistake that baseball made, hanging on to the past. And look how great baseball is now when they're promoting their young stars. I get all that, but I think it's a good mix. Yeah, the balance, it's there. You play round ball rock. You have mj, you have Shaq and Barkley, and you have the faces that made the league. But if you do lean on the young stars, combined with that nostalgia, all it makes me realize this whole last 20 minutes of chatting about it makes you realize we grew up in a very special time. And I know everyone could think that and say that, but if you were a kid of the 80s or 90s, there's a yearning for that. No one in the 80s was like, Man, I really want all those 50s nostalgia or the 60s, because it's the last time that we all have collective memories. We all have the same, and it's available nostalgia, the same look back, the same superstars, and it's at our fingertips. It's the first generation whose nostalgia is available and wanted. All right, let's go to JR and Indy. What's up, jr? Hey, what's up, fellas? How y' all doing? We're good, man. What's up? So, listen, hear me out. First of all, the 70s was the best era of music and sports. Okay, we had a second. But I blame Brau. Far as not passing on the torch like Kobe, like Mike, like Dr. J and M did, they all were great ambassadors to the game. KD and LeBron have been terrible ambassadors to the game. That's why these kids don't respect the history and everything that basketball has bought them. I. I mean, I. I hear what you're saying, but what is LeBron supposed to do? He's still playing. Is he supposed to just be like, he's held on to the torch? I mean, he's. I don't know. It's. It's an interesting one, by the way. That's just a great example, though, of living in your own world of, like, the 70s. The 70s were not known for sports and entertainment. The 80s were at special time where movies got to a different level, where sports became more mainstream. The NBA came into its own. So to say the 70s was the best sports decade is Horseshoe. Some argue that the 70s were the time when movies took a turn from like sterile delivery of lines to like really good, good cinematography. Everything was in color. Late 70s, you know, like there's plenty. Well, not even late. I mean. Yeah, well, every gener going to think theirs is the best. But what we could say for fact is the late 1900s, late 90s, early 2000s was the last time we all shared those memories. And that's what makes it, you know, much different. So you know what? We still got a lot of people talking about it. A lot of people want to talk about the Remember when and the nostalgia of the NBA and Michael Jordan on the debut last night. But first and first, mostly we're not going to make the legend wait. It's Stand by, which you're up. What's up, D.B. i'll tell you the way Covino phrased it. The late 1900s. Yeah, that used to be a lot stronger. You picture us with Abe Lincoln, right? Absolutely. I'll get to the NFL injury updates in a second, but Sean Payton has spoken. The Broncos head coach talking today about the tweet that Russell Wilson sent yesterday about the comments that Peyton made on Sunday. This is Sean Payton earlier today. The euphoria, the way that game unfolded, that was strictly about dart. That was in no way, shape or form anything that was directed at Russ. So. And I might be able to see how he might perceive that. But coming off that win and watching how he played. Yeah, that. That wasn't any intention at all. So, okay, Sean Payton said he could understand how Russell Wilson would have taken that, but that's not what he meant. That sounds like something my mom would say, and I know she's talking about me. And she would gaslight me and say, well, if the shoe fits. Right? You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, whatever, mom. I know you're talking about me. Oh. So Sean Payton having his say today when a veteran can't get the job done anymore. Oh, I wasn't talking about Russell. Like some mom stuff. Yeah. Jaden Daniels isn't going to get it done in Week 8 because he's not going to play for the Commanders. Ruled out because of his hamstring strain. So Marcus Mariota starts again for Washington Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, limited in practice today because of his hamstring strain. First workouts he's done since suffering that injury in Week four in Kansas City. Bryce Young of the Panthers didn't practice today. Brock Purdy of the Niners and Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. Were limited with injuries. Jets quarterback to Rod Taylor day to day with a knee injury. He reportedly was in line to start against Cincinnati on Sunday. Aaron Glenn is not named a starter for that Week 8 matchup as of yet. Chargers left tackle Joe Alt questionable to face the Vikings tomorrow night. The season opening event of the PGA Tour season the Century will not be held in 2026. Instead, the season will open at the Sony Open in Honolul. And finally, guys, the San Francisco Giants made it official. They hired University of Tennessee baseball head coach Tony Vitello as their new manager. Back to you. Hey db, thanks for the update. We're going to take all your nostalgia phone calls. A lot of people hitting us up. We'll talk more NBA and nostalgia. It's what we do best here at cnr. Reminisce a little bit, but keep things current at the same time, which is the balance. The NBA. NBA should follow our lead. You know what a boss of mine once told me? I was hired on Ozzy's boneyard. That's late 70s, early 80s music, right? I'm on every weekend. Sorry, they wanted classic. Why are you sorry? I'm sorry. You are sorry if you don't like it. They wanted classic through a current lens. That's what they called it. Classic through a current lens. I like that. All right, we got more Cavino and Rich. We'll break down the nostalgia of the NBA. And then I do have a thought about Mac Jones and some other quarterbacks in the NFL that we're getting a little look at this year. So some NFL, some NBA all coming up here on cnr.

Now it's time for our Tyrac play of the day. Day one of the NBA SGA already coming up big to tie the Rockets in the fourth quarter. Shay in the open court crossing the timeline with seven stutter steps on Thomps Thompson pulls up, fires a lean in 16 foot jumper. Got it. It's tied at 104. Joseph Alexander something special, baby. Is he ever clutched. Dude, that was. Is he ever clutch? Thunder gets the opening night W in double overtime. 125, 124 over the Rockets. Rockets. I'm on a rocket. That was courtesy of WWLS Thunder radio network. And that was our tire rack play of the day. For over 40 years, Tirek has been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive ship fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tirerack.com, the way tire buying should be. And speaking of the radio stations, Rich, I do want to shout out all the affiliates. There's that carry us. Oh, yeah. What's up, affiliates? Hi, affiliates. Bring us to your city. Let's do it live. Well, if they're hearing this now, then we're on. Oh, like I said, bring us to their city, though. Oh, you want to go hang? Yeah, I'll do it from whatever studio. Let's go. You know, let's take some. Some of the calls from around the land. Speaking of nostalgia, you said rocket. I'm on a rocket. Tracy Morgan, snl. Because we love nostalgia. And did the NBA have a perfect balance of new and old last night? Mann. We'll start with Mike in Fresno. What's up, Mike? What up, yo, what's up, guys? What up? Hey, I gotta say, you know, right now, hey, man, I'm about to turn 30 years old. I got my Larry Birds on. You know what I'm saying? Look at you think. I'm think. Oh, yeah. I got the modernized Converse weapons. Larry Bird, black and white, freaking Converse colors, classic, all modernized. And it got me thinking, you know, the old heads, you know, what we like about the 80s and about these older decades were the competitiveness. Right. Like the determination to win. Right. There's. And I'm a Lakers fan. Right. But there's just something magic about seeing Magic and Bird just go at it. Yeah. I don't think people are less competitive now. I don't think it's less competitive. I think it's the grittiness. Right. Of that time. But I think just visually, there was something. We forget the 80s and 90s when we talk about why do people always go back to those decades? It's the first time you said that nostalgia's available. There was no cool theme songs and fun things that we look back at the 50s or 60s. It's very far. Few between the 80s and 90s are packed with stuff that we could throw back to. And you have all the videos and fun of a Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. That's the beginning of the nostalgia. Yeah, that's available in color and on YouTube. Like, you can't really find a lot of stuff before that. By the way, that dude's a unicorn. He's like us old heads. He's rocking old school Larry Birds. He's in his 30s. Yeah. You can't say you're an old head. He just turned 30. Yeah. You can't call yourself an old head. I don't think if you were born in the 90s. But he has the vibe, right? Yeah, exactly. He respects it. You guys started the show talking about Michael Jordan and you'd listen to anything he said. I think part of what draws us into him on screen is he's still fiery and super competitive. No, it's crazy. So, yeah, he's. He's an old soul right there, rocking his old school Converse, man. Matt in SoCal. What's up, Matt? What's up, Matt? Yo, Calvino Enrich natural content backed by sincere bs. And I'm a little late, but happy anniversary, guys. Oh, thanks, man. What's up? Also a topic we're gonna have to revisit is calling the heart foundation overrated. Yes, I did call the heart foundation overrated. What's up, man? I think there's a. There's a line like, I work in the high school college basketball visit, then I talk to coaches of all ages, and there's some old school coaches who just cannot get out of the pass. And in some way they're getting left behind because if you don't adapt, especially with, like, social media, new wave concept offenses, you're honestly, you're losing players in your area. And then. And then also you get. You know, the attention span part is hilarious because when I deal with players, I have, especially on the boys side, the girls are okay. The boy side, I have to measure my words and get them out as soon as possible or I lose them and they fade off. So. You're so right about that. Dude, you ain't kidding. When I coach little kids, I feel like unless I have multiple stations going on where every kid's active, if you ask a kid to stand around the infield or outfield for more than five minutes, I almost feel like lost them. Yeah, we do live in a very get to the point culture. And thank you for getting appreciate. Gillen, Virginia. Gail. Make it snappy. Hey, Gil. Hey, guys, what's up? So to the guy two callers ago with the weapons. At 30 years old. I'm 52 and I still have my original weapons from 1987. What did you think last night, man? Did they balance the nostalgia properly? I. You know, honestly, I think nostalgia is the lack of being able to be creative nowadays. There's so much on social media and everything like that, and I just don't think there's much creativity anymore. Well, see, I think there's more creativity than ever before, and I'll explain why it gets rejected. Rich and I could disagree on that. All right, well, we got more CNR next. We'll disagree then. Johnny Knoxville here. Check out Crimeless Hillbilly Heist, my new true crime podcast from Smartless Media, Campside media and big money players.
