We have a whole show planned out for you and you're gonna reap all the benefits. Hey, we're throwing it back. It's Thursday. Thursday's new Friday. You have four bullet points with nothing written. No, no, no, no. Every Thursday. That's the beauty of Danny G's benchmarks. He's a super producer. He keeps us in check. Old school win 50 hits, 48 minutes from now. We throw it back and reminisce. Let's just say it has to do with technology and technology we grew up with. But man, I hope you're having a school bull skiing sort of day. And we gotta talk. Aaron Judge. Call the judge 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. Scubal and Skeens. Sounds like a law firm. Yes. Hey, if you're injured in a car accident, see Scubal and Skeens accidentes. All right, Scuba Skeens. That's Rich Davis. He's back from Texas here in Los Angeles. We're live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. And if you miss any of today's show, you'll want to catch the podcast search. Covino, Enrich, wherever you get your podcasts, give it five stars. We appreciate it. Covino and Rich. Let's see how many stars are in the studio. One, two, three, four. Well, we got six stars. Three quarter stars. Oh, if you can't. If you count Dan, Byron, Samuel, six. Well, give us five stars. We appreciate it. Covino and Rich. There's a lot to get to today. We're, we're going to start with the NFL, but to let you know, Judge and Cal Raleigh, we find that out later on. So we will discuss. We'll go. Hold on. We might not find out during this show. I'm hoping we find out 6pm Eastern. Yeah, but I was talking to Jolly Burch. He's always eating Jollibee I call him Jolly Burch. Oh, Jolly Bush. Oh, yeah. And he's Jolly. Jolly Burch. I was talking to him and you had Jollibee. It's a Filipino fast food. It's like a KFC of the Philippines. I had it once. I did not like it, but I've been told I should give it another chance. Burch loves it. Yeah, so don't you, Bursh? Yeah. So I was talking to Jolly Burst and he goes, look, the NL MVP will probably be given first because it's so obvious, and then they'll make everybody for the AL mvp. Obvious, you 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 going to bring in Seacrest to be like after the break? Yeah, I think so. We'll see. Either way, we. We might have Rob Parker on standby or you're going to hear him rant about it. We got to get Rob Parker because he's going to be on obviously after us with the odd couple. He's our MLB bro, so we'll. We'll hear from him. And you know what? I'm just being rich. If you need something to watch tonight, if you're bored by the idea of the Jets Patriots later on, maybe we'll talk a little bit about being Eddie. The Eddie Murphy documentary. Danny G. I feel like it's right up your alley. You're going to remember if you don't how influential this dude was in the 80s. I love Eddie Murphy. I think when 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. He doesn't get enough credit. What? Everybody kisses his ass. Every comedian under the moon kisses Eddie Murphy's ass. And deservingly so in the documentary they do. I'll tell you that. I'm saying. And before him there was Richard Pryor. Before Richard Pryor there was Red Fox. And before Red Fox, somebody else. That he's different though. But let's even made a donkey a good character in a movie. He said that's. I like Eddie Murphy, but don't act like he doesn't get his credit. He definitely does. He talks about donkey being some of his hardest work. Exhausting. Well, 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 stopping traffic. Get a job. You guys love the rankings. I love rankings. Or like USA Today and all the media outlets, all this. Get a job. So I'll tell you this, what we love and look forward to every year, NFL is king. We love the report cards. When the players get together and they judge the teams based on facilities, how they treat their families, the workout room, travel. It's their way of being like, yo, I'm going to blind survey the place I work at and you can't stop me. And did you see the latest? The NFL owners want to put a stop to this. Yeah, they said enough of the report cards. In fact, owners like Woody Johnson, they're trying to diminish the credibility of it. They're saying it's bogus. Actually, that's the quote, right? It's all bogus. Yeah, the jets owner is leading the way and you know who wants to stop it? Graded with an F, 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'd love the list. If there was a list and 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 we're like, yeah, they stink. But if we were number one, we'd be like, hell yeah. Just made the list. Yeah, baby, we're on the list. Number one. If there was like some weak ass made up list of like top Latino broadcasters and it was like number four, Steve Covino, he'd be like, this is a great list. Not bad. Yeah, I should be top three. But yeah, I'll take it. So your thoughts on the list? Your thoughts on the list? Are you on the list? I think this is really cool. I love the player surveys that you could say it's petty and BS because a lot of times it's spiteful. But remember the players survey and Caitlin Clark ranked low and it's like, oh, what a bunch of jealous biatches. Well, there's a lot involved the facility, like you said, how they treat their kids. But I'm saying not just welcome their families, not just in the the NFL. I'm saying all these player surveys in all sports to be like, who do you find the most overrated in the NBA, and it's. Whoa, that's. So that's the sentiment among your peers. I feel like peer surveys do hold a little clout to me. You might think, wow, is there much thought put into it? I like these surveys because, for instance, even though the Chiefs are a dynasty that have dominated, remember they had some F's. Yeah, I remember. Like, you know what? Player medical care. Yeah. So for us, it's great fodder, great things to talk about, and it's fun to speculate. So of course we're going to love it. I could see how it rubs the NFL and the owners the wrong way. Think about it. 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. I'll give you an example. But I do believe there's a nugget of truth to it. If we gave Fox Sports Radio rankings based on places we've worked, I know where I would grade it high and where I'd grade it low. Maybe we used to get free snacks at other jobs. I was gonna say number five. I remember there were jobs. There were jobs. I'll give you where. Where we were the SNY in New York, which was the Mets and Jets. There was a free snack wall. We had a snack wall, man. I remember thinking, yeah, we all got fat, too, from that snack. I was gonna say Rich. It's good that we don't have that at Fox Sports Radio. Taking Sun Chips home with us, man. Yeah. Rich is the biggest snacker I know, dude. I. I'd be £10 heftier if we had a snack wall here. We get snack different way. Yeah, maybe they do that on purpose. Wink, wink, nod, nod. Oh, what 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, but you also have to factor in. I'm not. I want a snack wall. No, you have to factor in the vibe created and everything and. And what it feels like to work there. I think those are a lot of intangibles that probably aren't factored in. Like, hey, well, what's the staff like? Is everybody friendly? Is everyone cool there? Like, do they accommodate you in certain ways? I don't think a lot of that's factored in. And it just hit me what Sam was joking about. You could talk about it. They. They joke about it on the Ben Maller 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. Yeah. Because she does not even want. Like, she has. She gets so many snacks and, like, plushie dolls and stuff. She, like, leaves stuff for us. And we're like, oh, thank you, Lorena. Lorraine is great. We're reaping all the benefits. We're reaping the benefits of a bunch of. A bunch of horn dog guys that, you know, Lorraine is like an intelligent, beautiful woman. And all of a sudden, all these listeners around the country, like, here are some snacks. You know, if we were smart, we should tell Lorena to tell her fans of Fox Sports Radio like, things that we need. Yeah. You know what I mean? You know what you really love, Lorena? Gold toe socks. Lorena could use. It's a new pair. Lorena, tell them that you like, you know, turkey jerky. Yeah. Some things that we want. Sour Patch. Sour Patch Kids. Yeah. So that is our snack wall here. We should do that. But yeah. Thoughts that at 87799 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 surveys in a way. All right, I'm just playing devil's advocate and I'll be Keanu Reeves. When you think about it, it's a bit hypocritical. If they were to ask you, what would you do? What would you do? Because it is anonymous, crappy feedback. It's like, if you're on social media, don't you look down on the Jabroni who chimes in anonymously with some heavy criticism. It's like, if you're gonna say something rude and critical, you should own up to it. Like, it's very cowardly to do it anonymously like that. 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. 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. As a radio show, Rich, do you give more credibility to the person who owns up to who he is? There's pictures of him and his family on social media. And he's like, rich Davis sucks. That hurts and means a lot more than someone anonymous with no picture profile whatsoever. And he's like, rich sucks. It just does. You know what I mean? So I think anonymous criticism is far more cowardly. And if you want to look at it that way, it's easy to say some negative stuff when you don't have to own up to it. I have a question. Now, I'm sure not just human resources at iHeart or Fox or Sirius XM 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 from my work computer? It's really not. It's a trap. Yeah, I know. I feel that way. We saw a 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 for a company, not iHeart and Fox Sports Radio, where there was a town hall where, like, the boss of the company was speaking. He's like, who has complaints? Hey, this is an open forum where we could talk. And I remember one dude did the whole, like, I got a complaint. And I remember thinking like, what are you doing? That's a trap. As Danny said, it's a trap. He started talking about everything from how much he was, you know, wasn't paid to snacks in the kitchen to what's fair and what's not fair and time off and the, you know, the studio updates. And I'm like, yo, this guy. What are you doing? So you're right. There is something about anonymity. Well, it's safe to say that guy doesn't work there anymore. He does it, but I don't think that's why. But it's still, like, to me, doesn't help. Word 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 going to be higher in line? Yes, I do. Because I think if I hang up when you're done anyway, I'm willing to take the survey because in my mind, no, I pretend like I'm going. That's what I'm saying. If they say, if you're willing to take a survey, after this, press one. I'm like, yes, If I press one, they'll answer my call quicker because they want me to give a good survey. Is there truth to that or not, though? That's the thing. And is there truth? How much truth is there to this NFL survey? I have a question again. The owners are saying, bogus. If you're at a restaurant and I've done this, and I'm a man of my word when I do this, has a waiter or waitress ever been like, hey, can you do me a favor? It would mean a lot if you just go to this website and put in this code and leave me, like, a review. It'll mean a lot. This is when I hand it over to the girlfriend. I'm like, yeah, she's got the Yelp thing going on. She could. She'll do 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. They're just getting started. Yeah. I'm not saying I wouldn't do that. Absolutely would. All right. So your thoughts on this? The NFL report cards, I like them. I think they're fun. I think they're interesting. Do you put any stock into it, or is it just stuff to BS about? Do you take any pride into it? Like, if your team gets a high grade, you're like, yeah, damn right. I root for a class organization. Organization, yeah. What are your thoughts on it? They're trying to put a stop to it. I think what it does could be. No, I think it's just fun for sports talk and sports fans to see what's going on, and it keeps these owners on their toes. It's fun BS banter for guys like us and, you know, on the network and other networks, but you're right. Anonymous feedback is usually like, not the feedback I really put a lot of stock into. However, it is ammunition when the bad reviews go to the teams that are struggling, because then it just gives more ammunition for the fans to be like, that's why. Look at these suck. The players don't even feel respected. And I bet you some young players factor that in. Like, yeah, I don't know, man. I hear bad things about that organization. It must plant some sort of seed. But truth to it or not, of course Woody Johnson and some owners are going to say, there's no truth to it. He's got. He got an F. It doesn't always line up, though. Like, my favorite team, the Las Vegas Raiders, they got great grades across the board, but their organization makes some bad business decisions. Their facilities are nice, but you know what I mean. It doesn't always translate into you being a winning team or a losing team. Just like how you mentioned the Chiefs get some low grades. Yeah, I don't think Patrick Mahomes or Kelsey or Andy Reid or anyone's really, you know, hating life and arrowhead. So you know what? Your thoughts at 87799 on Fox. We're going to get to some Judge versus Cal Raleigh, make our final thoughts on that. We're going to go old school in 50 hits and talk some more NFL there's some games this weekend Now I know I sound like the Bachelor host when they always say like this is the most dramatic season yet. Honestly, there are some telling games this week that are some of the biggest games of the year so far. And I think we 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 break down some NFL next Go old school. A lot of fun Throwback Thursday right here. Covino and Rich there's nothing like sinking into luxury.

Now we could wrap this up. NFL report cards is always fun, but I think it's more fun for. I think it's more fun for us than anybody because I don't know at the barbershop, you ever hear or any of your buddies ever come up with that info? Like, yo, man, none, right? I think we just get a Kick out of it, you know, So I just think it's fun fodder. But it is interesting though. I think everyone does the little quick peruse, like you want to say. I want to see you don't bite the hand that feeds though, man. If you're getting paid and they're treating you decent, you don't talk smack about your company like that. And there's too many organizations that are getting Fs. Woody Johnson doesn't like it. The NFL owners are trying to put a stop to the NFL report card saying they're weak, they're bogus, they're not even real, they're not legit. You hear that, everyone? Kavino loves sticking up for billionaires. It's not that. I'm just saying these billionaires are making rich men at a lot of. A lot of these people. Let's go to JP and okc. Okc, what's up, jp? How you guys doing today? Hey, what's up? What do you think about the report cards? How owners like, yeah, yeah, we're sort of done with this. So I got two things. Alright, so first thing you guys are talking about, like anonymous, like leaving anonymous notes and things like that. Like, I get all that. I think hiding behind the keyboard is weak. But at the same time, like these billionaires are, at the end of the day, have the opportunity to collude and they can say, I'm not gonna sign this free agent 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 low ball him because he spoke out about how bad the situation was at his other team. 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 is born. He's a man with me. Of knee, of means. Man of means, man of means. Then along came two. They got nothing but the jeans. It's different for everyone. What might mean something to you might mean jack diddly squat to someone else. Like we were talking to one of the guys here. I don't see. It's anonymous. We were 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 not true. We got one from. Where were we? Danny Jean, Oregon. Yeah, but that was like a local. One of our affiliates. Yeah, And Rob Parker Radio. Yeah, the only ones we got. Eugene. Yeah. I was gonna say, you need Rob Parker to slap a logo on. What I'm saying is Ross. And slap a 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 Force Radio tumbler. And someone else might be like, I don't want that junk. So what? You know, like, you never know. You never know. It means something to people. Right? Yeah. I want a koozie. 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 how 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'd be nice. You say hoodie? I did say hoodie. I did it. Why you don't call it that? I don't know. That's how we say it in New Jersey, bro. Sweet hoodie. But, like, as long as those checks are clearing, isn't that the most important? That's how I feel. I hear you, dude. I'm. And listen, here I am kissing ass. I have no complaints about this place. But you're right. You don't know what matters to someone else. Right? Let's say what's up to Ali Alejandro in Ventura County. What's up, man? You said hootie. Like, did you say extra? You said hootie. Like, seriously, you said hooty. You don't rock hoodie. No, he said hootie. Like, he was, like, saying, like. Like, how would someone say with hummus? Like, hummus. Hey, bro, that's how we sound. You said. Yeah, yeah. You said that. Okay. Who. That's how the kids say 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 barber, but she doesn't go to my barber, and my barber stops cutting my hair. Yeah, I just think there's. There's a little bit of cowardly behavior behind it. I don't like anything anonymous. I really don't. But it's fun to talk about. There's no question. I'm just saying, in reality, it protects people. Sometimes. Sometimes you have to be anonymous or be, like, have an anonymous source or. How about you just stand up for what you believe in? Why do you have to hide behind it? Because you don't want to throw. You don't want to throw Your life away to stand up for something. Sometimes I'll say this. There's apps that I don't think any woman should ever be put in a terrible situation by dating a piece of trash guy. But there are websites where, like, if a woman goes on a bad date with a guy, she gives him like a review and then like all sudden he's on some app is like, red flag guy. And it's like, why? Because you didn't get along with. It's a double edged sword. Yeah. So it's like, you know, again, because you didn't like it. Know what I hate? That's why I don't follow Yelp. Or as Covina 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. 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. I may love the waiter. Hey, hey, Rich. There's this show called All's fair you should check out. But don't look at the reviews. Yeah, 5% on rotten potatoes. No, no, no. Just go ahead and just watch it and tell me what you think. You're talking about that Kim Kardashian show. I heard it's so bad it's good. Sam. No, I've heard it's so bad that don't even waste your time 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. Some of the owners, not the ones in the top five ones getting f s, are saying it's. 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. I just remember, like saying something about he smells like pickled eggs. It's like every day. Remember, I'm a kid, right? And I'm like, I don even know if I want to bring this home to mom right now. Because you feel weird about it. I remember, like the teacher wrote in the comments, like, you know, Steven's a good kid or whatever, but I gave him constructive criticism. And he was a vegetable. And I was like, I was a vegetable. What does that mean? Yeah. You know, as a grade schooler, I was like, what does he mean? What does she mean by that? I'm a vegetable. What do I got? Tomato head. What does that. What does that even mean? But I remember feeling like the criticism hurts. It does. But sometimes people need to hear it. But. 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 got a complaint about the snack wall. Or there's no snack, there's no swag, no freebies at Fox Sports Radio. Anonymously putting a note in a box. Who cares about that idiot? Or the guy who's the host in the afternoons, kindly writes a letter or goes up to the boss, knocks on the door, something that's been on my mind, and own up to it. It might have greater impact if he knows who's coming from. Well, I. I think I'd go anonymous, you know. Hey, boss, you want. You want the show to be renamed Complaino and Bitch? Hey, boss man. Love working here. Just checking in and say what's up? And, you know, it's been on my mind. Really could use some Dipsy Doodles and some. Some. Thank you. Now you're fired. Some Fox Sports Radio keychains really make a big difference around here. A chance that we can get some free monster energy. But doesn't that make more impact than some anonymous person? Because anyone could be an idiot about that thing. So anyway, well, you guys wield a powerful sword because years ago you complained about the coffee. Look at that. And it's the same exact coffee. Still got that coffee. The blue kitchen. And 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 Byers update. We're also on the edge of our seat because we're waiting for this MVP announcement. That's really what it comes down to today. I got to give props to Scubal and Skeens, your favorite law firm. As Rich said before school and Skeens both going to be Yankees soon enough. At least one of those guys. Skeens says anonymous source. By the way, speaking of anonymous source, a lot of his teammates are saying that Skeens often talks about wanting to be a Yankee. Anonymous source. Own up to it. 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? Hey, fellas. Getting set for not only that announcement, but you guys talked about it. Week 11 tonight. Jets and Patriots. The jets did place wide receiver Garrett Wilson on injured reserve because of an injury. He was already ruled out tonight. Now will miss their next four games. Texans ruling out C.J. stroud. The quarterback's gonna miss Sunday's match. Titans Davis Mills gets the start. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson back at practice today. He's expected to start in Cleveland on Sunday. Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco limited with his shoulder injury. Falcons wide receiver Drake London limited in practice today and no practice for these players. Broncos running back J.K. dobbins, Chiefs running back Isaiah Pacheco and Lions 10. And Sam LaPorta did look like Brock Purdy was on the practice field for the second straight day for the 49ers. Niners GM John lynch told KMBR today that it's not their intention to hold out wide receiver Brandon Iuk 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 Iuk at all this season. Man, good thing they gave him all that money last year, huh? Right? Yeah, it's. It stinks that he got hurt, but, man, this hasn't worked out for the 49ers since that move. You think Purdy's a little inspired to play this weekend since I'm going to be there? Yeah, I think so. I think there's a little. Little extra motivation, a little oomph. An anonymous source told 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 that anonymous source. I can't tell you who. Can't tell you. 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 anonymous sources and he could say a bunch of bs, but it's like it was an anonymous source. The fake accounts on Twitter are becoming pretty, pretty interesting. They can catch somebody for. Interestingly enough. I'm glad you said that, DB and by the way, thank you for the update you demand. Oh, I wasn't done. Oh, yeah, no, that's okay. You guys are just talking about the cardinals and 49ers. They were done. He's getting more of a cavito guy. Now the only reason I say that is because I do have to say Jalen Brunson just a grade one sprain of his ankle 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. Back to you guys. That's enough. The Brunson thing's big because New York Sports I haven't 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 are what New York Scott buzzing right now with Brunson. If that would have been worse, it just, it would have added to the misery. Yeah, nothing I heard Dan Patrick our pal DP who were filling in for by the way Wednesday. Wednesday Dan Patrick was saying that New York Sports sometimes we forget that they've had a bad run. Yankees 09 Giants with a. With a rando surprise has been the only really positive in New York sports in the last couple decades. Not even the teams the city to taking a hit. Just not that. Yeah gotta be there, gotta play their reputation that it once had. But speaking of the anonymous source and it all ties together. Perfecto. Perfecto. We talked about the NFL report cards. Danny G. You sent me a story. It was a Camino, but was it Jennifer Lawrence? Yeah. It's funny you would say Jennifer Lawrence said that she loves. She has like fake accounts and she likes fighting with fans. Yeah. She likes to troll people. Burner accounts. And it got us thinking. Like I know a lot of people's girlfriends and wives have burner accounts to sort of like Kevin Durant to check in on people. And a lot of, a lot of they 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, bro? I'm not saying guys don't do this, so don't think it's sexist. But my wife has told me most women she knows have some type of secondary account where they just check up on things or, or they want to look at women that they don't want that girl to know they're checking their page. Yeah, my, my girlfriend definitely, definitely has fake accounts for that reason. Not like you know, she's pretending to be a fake person that I know of, but just for the reason that Rich said to check up on certain things and spy on Other people. And I don't know, it's a whole racket going on. It is more of a woman thing. I don't know one dude, except for Kevin Durant, that has another. So if women and Kevin Durant and a few trolls out there now, if people have these accounts. Right, if people have these accounts, does it sort of go along with the whole conversation about the NFL report cards? Like, if you're anonymous, does it really mean anything? It doesn't. It's a faceless, nameless, as you always say, Rich egg on Twitter. It's a nobody with no profile. That's why it's things harder. I promise you, as a guy that's on the radio. And, Rich, you've said this before, too. It's things a lot worse when it's a real person that takes full accountability. It says you suck. Yeah. If some guy, his name is Rob Johnson from Wisconsin with a family of four, and he's there with his family, he's like, you stink. Because I'm Rob and I listen. And I'm telling you straight up, that hurts a lot more than someone who, like, has no profile. Yeah. There's no friends on that account, you know? Yeah. Anonymous at Rob Johnson, whatever. With a family that hurts. At ass gazer69 and his. And his zero followers. Pictures like a firebird with a dog on the roof. Right. Or an egg. Like, I don't. I will never even look at that. So that's what I'm saying. 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 76ers general manager, like, seven, eight years ago, Brian Colangelo? He was using a fake Twitter account to attack his own players, and he quit after he was exposed. All right. Of course, this is a. How about that horrible story of the mom that was harassing her daughter the whole time? Wasn't that turned into a documentary or. Yeah, that was the worst mom in the world. Wasn't that the name of it? 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 Covino and Ritz. Next. We're going to go old school. We're going to talk about really key NFL matchups this week. So we'll we're gonna get a little NFL serious. For the record, Rich, when you're done watching Frankenstein on Netflix, I was referencing unknown number the High School Catfish. That's the story of the mom with the burner account harassing her own daughter. What the funniest part of that whole documentary was. It's old enough now where we were not spoiling anything. The mom that was catfishing her own kid not only is the worst mom in the world, Remember the funniest part where she's like, oh, she got, you know, someone sent her a thousand terrible messages. She's like, yeah, but only 999 of them were actually me. Yeah, like she couldn't. I didn't start it. I just leaned into it for the next four years. She took accountability for like 99% of it. Like, we're not going to go all the way here. Okay, cool. All right, listen, we got more coming on, Rich. 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. Let's be real life happens.

These NFL report cards biting the hand that feeds nine inch nail style. Look at you. I was on the ones and twos. Danny G keeping us in line. Super producing Kavino and Rich live from the Fox Sports radio studios. Time for our tire rack play of the day. I want to let this little nine inch nails breathe a little bit.

Because we're old fools. Let's go. Yeah. What we gonna do right here is go back back into time. Throwing it back for a Thursday old school. When 50 hits at 50 after C and R. Give you the time capsule topic and we reminisce together. Yeah. So we do this every Thursday. We get you involved. Involved Fox Sports Radio Nation. So be dialing 87799 on Fox. Because we throw it back, we reminisce and we put our noggins 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? I read the meme. Danny G. Read the article. It really is from the Wall Street Journal. I'm not making this up. And the whole story in a nutshell is that young consumers, if we all have young people in our life, teenagers, nieces, nephews, if you know some youngins. I got a 16 year old daughter. Young consumers are ditching smart technology for old technology. That's a trend. It's a, it's a phase. They're gonna be like, I don't want a flip phone, I want my iPhone back in. The article says Gen Z's unplugging, swapping smartphones for flip phones, CDs, and early 2000s digital cameras. Cameras, in a bid to take back control says that the movement is spreading across campuses and tick tock where nostalgia meets rebellion. Even artists like Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter and Luffy are fueling the throwback trend with physical media releases. Owning something real has become a new counterculture. There's always culture than counterculture. And I see firsthand some absolute truth to this in the form of vinyl. My daughter has vinyl. She doesn't even have a record player. She has vinyl. She has Frank Ocean albums, new Deftones, whatever comes out. She wants the vinyl. Yeah, she has a digital camera. I had to ask Spot. Hey, Spot, you got an old digital camera. And they like the old grainy, crappy, pixelated quality of that camera because it feels old school and nostalgic. They think it's artsy. They do yeah, it's. And not only does my daughter like it, all her friends think it's the coolest thing and they want to borrow it and use it. I see it firsthand. Who doesn't love a Polaroid? You get that physical and it comes out a little like grainy. It's just warm and fuzzy and nostalgic about it and very trendy. Like I've been to weddings or family parties, photo booths and stuff. Yeah, where they have the photo booth where you get the little strip of pictures or they have Polaroid cameras around the Polar. Your daughter's having her sweet 16 coming up. Yeah, don't remind me. Are you gonna throw those like disposable yellow cameras on the table? Kodak 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. We want them because kids want that stuff. It's kind of refreshing when you think about it because I think we gone too digital where it's like even our photos of our kids and digital. Where do they sit in a folder somewhere. You never see them ever. I get that. But I feel like, listen, it's like a nice little once in a while throwback. Like oh look, a Polaroid camera. But what do you rather a Polaroid 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 the that in for your Nokia flip phone that had a wack asset Technology is just as good. In fact, a lot of it comes out before Apple technology. No, I'm saying they have a good camera. They have a great camera. I said that. But based on that, based on the tangible nostalgia that young people are rebelling for, what is some old technology that you think needs to come back? I think younger people love the idea of, and I say this for real, they love the idea of like the 80s and 90s because there was technology but it wasn't really there yet. That's why young kids, maybe they like Redid Nintendo where you could download these old Nintendo games and you know, it had 100 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, that's an eight track player. And then after a minute you'd be like, that's cool. I'm gonna go back to my series. But the life they're living is a little soulless. It really is like too digital. And you know what? I'm glad you brought a video game. So I'm going to talk more about that. So old school tech that you want to make a comeback based on this? We'll get to it next. Cabino and Rich. Does anything go better than Lego and Star Wars? I don't think so. Kids will love becoming a part of the galactic action while playing out their favorite adventures. Like with Jango Fett Starship. I mean, this LEGO set is fantastic. It features a detailed recreation of Jango Fett's starship with four stud shooters, a seismic charge dropping function and wings that rotate with gravity. Plus it has three Jango Fett with two blasters and a jetpack. Young Boba Fett and Llama Sue. Perfect for endless play. Now for the big fans, there's Jango Fett's Firespray class Starship from the Ultimate Collector series. Packed with details as such and surprises for fans, this large scale set is perfect for anyone hunting for a mindful building escape. Plus you end up with a fantastic display piece. You can build this while your little ones build the kid set. You'll be like Jango and Boba building an adventure shop. Now for Star wars lego sets on lego.com or in lego retail stores. Running a business is hard enough. Don't make it harder with a dozen apps that don't talk to each other. One for sales, another for inventory. A separate one for accounting. That's software overload.

Podcast: The Dan Patrick Show (Covino & Rich guest hosting)
Network: iHeartPodcasts and Dan Patrick Podcast Network
In this lively Throwback Thursday edition, Covino & Rich (C&R) bring the heat on sports talk radio. Focusing on the drama surrounding NFL player "report cards" and the controversy about anonymous workplace feedback, they deliver opinions, stories, and banter with their signature humor and old-school sensibilities. The crew also dives into upcoming NFL matchups, the impact of nostalgia on tech trends, and the fine art of constructive criticism—then throws in relatable workplace gripes, memorable listener calls, and a playful tangent on burner accounts and anonymity in the digital age.

| Time | Speaker | Quote | |----------|-------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 15:05 | Covino | “The weak-ass owners want to stop it. Like, if you were ranked high, you’d love the list. If you’re ranked low, you’d say the list is bunk.” | | 19:20 | Rich | “Even though the Chiefs are a dynasty… remember they had some F’s.” | | 27:55 | Covino | “It’s very cowardly to do it anonymously like that.” | | 29:55 | Rich | “When companies say, ‘Put your feedback here, it’s anonymous,’ don’t you feel like, ‘I’m doing it from my work computer—it’s a trap!’” | | 38:10 | Covino | “It gives fans more ammunition... Look, the players don’t even feel respected.” | | 44:00 | JP (caller) | “Billionaires… could gang up and not sign a guy because he spoke out about [another] team.”| | 53:44 | Rich | “If they don’t beat—the pooh—out of the Cardinals, I’ll be shocked.” | | 1:01:05 | Covino | “Owning something real has become a new counterculture. There’s always culture, then counterculture.”| | 1:13:30 | Rich | “Jennifer Lawrence says she loves to fight with fans on her secret TikTok. My wife says most women she knows have some kind of secondary account.”|
Fast-paced, humorous, self-deprecating, with a “guys talking sports at the bar” vibe. The banter is playful and relatable, with personal anecdotes, light roasting, and a keen sense of how sports talk mirrors everyday work frustrations.
This episode is classic Covino & Rich: spirited debate, inside jokes, relatable workplace rants, and playful nostalgia. You’ll learn why anonymous NFL player feedback has owners shook, hear why old-school tech is back in style, and even get some advice for handling workplace surveys (“it’s a trap!”). The hosts blend sports analysis with everyday truths—always with plenty of laughs and personal stories.
