Like It Or Not: November 10, 2026

Of course she does. That's it. Welcome. Kenneth said he wanted to, dumb like it or not. I mean, we're really. Wow. Welcome. Wow. We've got body blowers here. I'm here. A little deep breathing. Oh, my God. Welcome in tonight. Angie is here. Marina and Tony P, we're back on a Tuesday after sitting out last week for the elections where the nation decided whether they like it or not. Now we're back to the other issues of the day. Exactly. These are more pressing. Yes. Much more. There's no gray area. Yeah, exactly. Let's fire it up and get going. Starting with something you probably haven't heard about in 20 years. Floppy disks. But believe it or not, the FAA is still using them in some of the systems that help manage air traffic at airports across the country. The technology dates back to the 1980s. The agency is now working to phase them out by 2028. Right now, controllers use floppy disks to upload information like pilot reports and advisories. The new system will bring everything together on a digital display, including weather conditions and flight disruptions. What are you jingling over here? It's like you're jingling keys to get my attention. There you go. Jingle bells. There you go. Marina, it can take a lot to upgrade technology, but floppy disks? I would prefer not to know that you're still using floppy disks to track my flight and to tell our pilot where we're landing or not. This is ridiculous. The worst media that we've had is probably the cassette tape and the floppy disk. And I would argue the floppy disk is probably the worst. And the fact that this is some of the media that is being used to help guide our planes and our air traffic It is absolutely ridiculous. Not in our country. I don't like it. Make flying great again and get these things out of town. Okay, I remember college 2000, 2001. Still using floppy disks, transporting them to the computer lab to get my, yeah, I mean. They weren't horrible. They're very reliable. I mean. They were not. They were broke immediately. I had good floppies. And if you kept them in the paper and you took care of them the way that you're supposed to. In the paper? Yeah, the little paper. That's right. You got to take care of it. You were one of those that probably just threw your floppy disks all over the place. You know, hopefully that's not what our air traffic controllers are doing. Speaking of cassette tapes, I do... I do love the fact that they are controlling our, you know, airwaves, not our airwaves, our skies with the same kind of technology that we used to use to record songs off the radio. Yeah, mixtapes. Do we have to explain what mixtapes are for Tony? No, I don't think so. I know what mixtapes are. This is the thing, though, guys. There's still a lot of old technology that is reliable and that still works. And so I will say it's an overhaul. It takes a lot of money. ...to overhaul an entire system. If you said USB, I would be... In the news business, for instance. We do not use floppy disks for the record. We don't even have paper scripts. Yeah, we don't have internet, too, half the time. That's true. But remember, in the old building, the equipment sucked. But it always worked. Yes! No, and that's the point I'm doing. That was for you, Karen. That was for you, Karen, the thumbs up. I'll tell you, those are fighting words about floppy disks, but I'll tell you this, okay? I think part of it is also to prevent hacking, potentially. So I like the fact that there's some older technology, but you have to upgrade it. They have dot matrix-style stuff when it comes to tracking the planes. I wouldn't want to be in air traffic control. I wouldn't know where the planes are, okay? It's like little dots in there. It's like a game of Rubik's Cube in, like, Connect 4. Let me just, I just have this image of an air traffic controller at DCA pulling out a floppy disk and putting it in and playing Oregon Trail for kids. Or Montezuma's Revenge. It's like Office Space, that scene in Office Space where they put the floppy disk in there to get like the software to pull the money out. That's right. Or King Kong, or Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong. We used to play Donkey Kong. Let's move on. Okay. Another year, another CEO caught up in a cheating scandal, this time without Coldplay. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang admitted to having an affair with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy to get close to him. He addressed the board and employees apologizing to his wife and children for the affair. By the way, this was an email. And you know, an outlook where you can put the little like you can like it or there were at least two people who put the celebrating emoji on it. No, no. Oh, I saw that. Yeah, yeah, it's good. He also promised to protect the company. NVIDIA's board has launched an independent investigation into whether Jensen was part of a foreign intel operation, or at least not he was, but targeted as part of one. The board says it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets will be compromised. Jensen will remain CEO, but if the investigation moves forward and his 40-year marriage ends in divorce, California's community property laws could entitle his wife to half of their marital assets, potentially some $80 billion. Tony. Let's go to you on this one. She will spend it a lot better than her husband will because you look at Mackenzie Bezos and Jobs doing all the wonderful stuff. So, yes, get the divorce. I think this could also be the next version of the spy who shagged me from Austin Powers. Okay, this is the new movie. Okay, this is the remake you want to do based on this story. But you know what? Look, I think this is when you have a CEO of a company like NVIDIA, which is AI chips. That's the new defense contractors. You have a lot more scrutiny. Shame on him. Yeah. All right, Angie. Yeah, I mean, a lot of people are like, dude, you know, what he does in his bedroom is his business, and it's personal. No. This is so public. There's nothing private about this when you've got a trillion-dollar company involved, you've got a possible affair with maybe a foreign, you know, a foreign operative, and then you've got shareholders suing you right afterwards. Honestly, I would argue that probably the divorce is the least of his problems, you know, with this. I mean, this is huge, and I know he told, you know, the Donalds, you know, our president, that he didn't know that she was, you know, He's playing for the other team, so to speak, and taking his chips, because chips happen. I wanted to say that, by the way. I thought you were going to say something else, but I'm glad you haven't dropped that joke. Yeah, I was wondering, you know, do you think that the Netflix stock is going to be, like, called O-Chip or Chip Happens? I just, I don't know. I know. I've got a better name for it. Yeah. But anyways, I just think that. Well, I cannot comment on this as I own 10 shares of Nvidia. I don't want to be in the video. I own some shares, too. I do, too. If you've got any sort of index fund or a blue chip, you probably have a few shares. I have divested as of 2 o'clock this afternoon. Okay. Well, good luck. Good luck. I think it goes to show you that we hold people on these super high, tall pedestals, and we're like, oh, they're infallible. They are the CEOs of the number one company. This rags-to-riches story. Always wears the same jacket. This guy, you know. They're just as dumb. I mean, if you're having an affair, you probably would have thought this girl is probably not with me for the right reasons, and certainly not just for your money, because it's not just like you're a millionaire. You are like one of the richest Americans, but also, hello, like could be a spy. It's not that far-fetched, you moron. Yeah. All right. Ooh, okay. That was edgy. Well, I mean, we all thought it. He's a dummy. Exactly. For as smart as he is. My point exactly. There's still a question of who knew what and when, but that's another story for another day. Well, I'm not saying that he knew. This is about men being stupid. Exactly. Men being morons. My point exactly. Put that on a t-shirt. Okay. Some parents are taking things a little too far when it comes to their kids' report cards. A growing number of parents are challenging teachers over grades and even taking school districts to court. One survey found four in ten teachers have faced pressure from parents to change a student's grade. In one California case, a mom sued the district after her teacher said her third-grade son needed to improve how he cooperates with others. Educators say the pressure is growing as parents worry more about grades, academic performance, and getting their kids into top colleges. But teachers say changing the results could send kids the wrong message about accountability. So, Angie, let's go to you on this one, like it or not. I don't like this at all. I mean, what happened to, like, you're grounded? And now we're saying, like, see me in court over this. This is absolutely ridiculous. I think, you know, there needs to be a lesson on accountability, like, for all parties involved instead of litigation. I mean, I cannot believe that it even gets to this point. I think you do have to advocate for your child if things are unfair, if they're not being served the way that they should be, you know, and it's not, it doesn't appear to be equal. And, yes, I think you should question that. But to bring it to these... To this level is absolutely mind-boggling to me. You know, I just don't, I don't understand how it can get to this point. At this point, There's so many tears that you can go through, you know, with, you know, your teacher, your counselor, your principal, your superintendent, and then we're in the courts. Yeah. By the way, in the courts, Sundays at 11:30. Ah! We're raising a generation of narcissists, and this comes from someone who records himself for a living all day. Okay, folks, so I got to tell you, when you think about this, when I was younger, my mother always cited the teacher, and that's how I was raised, and you worked hard, you went to extra help. That should be the conversation, not going to court. If there's of course like a personality dispute or there's treatment issues, yes, talk about that, get the principal involved in the district, but to bring it to court, I mean, we're wasting the court's It's time. This is like... This is kind of like the helicopter parent thing is getting even worse, guys. I think it's not just report cards, too, but in discipline. I remember the kid who was the star soccer player in my high school who he and his girlfriend got involved in a domestic situation, and they were worried that it would imperil a scholarship, so they go to the school, and the school agreed, like, just tell him not to come to school for a couple of days. But then some other students found out and tipped off the school board. But when parents get too involved, we talk about parental involvement in schools. But I think there's a reason why if you wanted to grade your own kids, then homeschool them. Exactly. I mean, I think there's two conversations to be had. There is parental involvement. I think schools cannot unanimously just do as they so choose. I mean, at the end of the day, these parents are also in the public school system, at least taxpayers. And if not, they're paying the tuition. So they should have a say, but also to some degree, like there's authority there and the teacher is that, and again, like the same. My mom always said, I don't care if the teacher's wrong, she's still right. Or he's still right. And that's just how you grow up. So I think that when you're circumventing that process and something that seems to be pretty innocuous and you're going to court, what lesson are you teaching the child? Now, that said, kids advocating for themselves. I think, and I say this with experience, I was a senior. I got a grade that I didn't believe I deserved. I went back and challenged the teacher on it, and they did an investigation, and the teacher was wrong, and I was right. Yeah, that's great. Because I had the receipts. Because you know why? I had the papers. They say I didn't submit on a floppy disk. That is absolutely the right thing. And they were left to be safe. It goes full circle. It does. Yeah, and now that floppy disk lives on at Dulles. That's our Fox 5 Live Instacle question tonight. Parents challenging teachers over their child's grades. 13% of you like it. 87% of you don't. Go to fox5bc.com slash lion or scan that QR code. We're going to check the results later on. But stick around back after this on this Tuesday night edition of Like It or Not. Hello. Hello from Mars. Because D says yes. Hey, All right, we've all been there. You're scrolling through TikTok. A video promises a bigger reveal, but somehow it takes three minutes of backstory to get to the damn point. So one Virginia content creator is making sure you don't have to wait. Alex Yoon, known as HeyIt'sYoon, has built a following by spoiling the drawn-out videos, giving viewers the answers right away, sometimes saving them three minutes or more. Yoon says it... All started when he saw a TikTok story he thought could be summed up in eight seconds. The video went viral and he just kept on going. He says in the end, it's about respecting people's time, especially when some creators, Tony, intentionally stretch videos to boost views and make more money. Defend yourself. I mean, that's not what I do because when I do long videos, nobody watches. So I started to do just more, you know, keep it under 30 seconds. I guess they don't want to see much of this face for too long. But I think overall. I mean, this is really smart because the way the algorithms work now on the short form as well as in the shorts with YouTube, it's three seconds and you're out. If you can't hook them, if you can't get them an answer or give them some kind of value in three to five seconds, you're done as a creator. So smart move here. It's a very meta thing that they did here. This is, again, just playing with the trends. And sometimes you want people just to wrap it up. Right, like land the plane, you know? Welcome to our lives. Yeah, but I do think that a lot of times, you know, There is some good, like, story building that happens, you know, that leads you up to the good part. And I don't know, I don't know about you, but, like, I don't need my attention span. Shortened anymore. Like, I'm trying to untrain this brain, okay? Stretch it out. Like, I was happy when Meta announced that they're doing these 90, what is it, these 90-minute reels that you can do now. You can do a whole series on Instagram. You're not watching that. No, but, I mean, I hope I get to a place where I can. Where I can just sit there and pay attention, not scroll through the opening credits, just like my kids do. Hey, remember back in the day, you used to sit through. Like the credits. Of a movie before it would be like 10 minutes before it started. I mean, but you have like Ben Affleck and these people who are like pitching movies to Netflix, right, saying that they have to rework the plot in the movie four or five times during the movie to explain to the audience, hey, this is what the movie is about, because people are just not watching anymore. They're doing a thousand other things, they're on their phone. They're watching social media and they're watching the movie. And by half of it, they have no idea what the movie is saying. So they have to reintroduce the plot to keep people and people just they don't get what they want when you get into. Like anything, right, any platform, they're just going to go to the next one. They're not going to watch it. Well, all that scrolling could cause more pain than you think. According to doctors, smartphone tendonitis, or texting thumb, is an inflammation of the tendons caused by repetitive strain and motion. One study shows 77% of college students report pain in one or both hands, while another found 56% of surveyed adults experience hand or wrist pain linked to phone usage. Experts warn that our daily screen time is becoming a massive contributor. to this rising problem. Angie, do you have any problems with your thumbs? No, listen, I have sometimes, you know, tech neck, like sometimes people, like I worry about that with my kids. I will say that I used to edit a ton on my phone and you probably do the same. And so I would get not necessarily the thumb hurting, but it would do the nerve thing where it would hurt, like it would shoot up my arm. And I had to go to a chiropractor for it. And so, you know, my whole thing is that, you know, This is nothing new. I mean, this is what we're all using these days. It's essentially an extension of our body. If you think back to it, we've always done jobs or we've always done things that are repetitive. You know, if you think about like the people back in the day that used to like milk the cows by hand, right? I mean, they were doing that for hours at a time. That's both hands. How do you do that? Like this, you know, and then you have to pull and think hours at a time, day after day, seven days a week, no days off. Okay. And listen, we're complaining about our Our little thumb. Okay, guys, listen. Nobody's going to stop texting because of this. And by the way, a lot of people are using voice dictation now. So I feel like things are going to get better. My pinky is deformed. My right pinky. It's got like... Well, that's from all the picking. It's from holding your phone, and then you go like this, and it has, like, over time, it's worn the bone. This is why I'm more, I'm a fan of the little stands, the little rings. Yeah, I have one, too, but it hasn't really done anything. Like this one here, you know, it folds in, but, like, sometimes I'll find myself with, because I was doing that for the longest time, I would feel it in my thumb or my pinky, so. And one thing, the thing is, what you've got to do is you've got to, like, alternate the fingers or the hands, right, kind of, like, mix it up a little, okay? Yeah, with the ambidextrous. Like, go kind of thumb one day, do it. Do thumb, do fingers, do, you know, pinkies, do it all. Hey, Tone? Yes? It's kind of got you in trouble online before, so, you know. Oh, you went there, not me. Wait until I get clipped. By the way, that got 60,000 shares. Cheers. Cheers. If you don't know what we're talking about. But did it get you any dates? No. It sure did. Oh. Oh. Wow. If you don't know what we're talking about. You brought it up. If you don't know what we're talking about. No, we're good. Don't bring it up. Exactly. Don't bring it up. Yeah. Hey, have you ever put your headphones on, started playing your favorite song, and suddenly felt like you were the main character in a movie? Well, there's actually a name for that. It's called a main character walk. It's about shifting your focus to yourself, taking in your surroundings, and feeling more connected to your own life. And you don't need to do much to do it. Just 10 to 15 minutes, a comfortable outfit, and maybe a good playlist. Experts also recommend walking with confidence, keeping your head up, and putting your phone away. The idea is to enjoy the moment instead of worrying about capturing it for social media, Tony. Marina, have you done this before? All the time when I drive into work. You put the windows down, and maybe it's not a walk, but you envision being on stage and not Celine Dion singing it, but yourself singing it. Um, no, I think this is great. I think that we need to do that more. I think that we all have to some degree, like a soundtrack to our life that you've curated either on your singers, your favorite singers or songs. And if you put, you know, your headphones in and on a perfect, beautiful day, you're out there listening to the music that you love, then yeah, you feel like that. It's great. What's your, what's your main character song tone? Oh, that's a good one. I I got to say, in the air tonight. Phil Collins, okay, I get up there. I was impressed, I was thinking of that. Marina Coppola, culture reference, please clap. I'm manifesting. I like Roxanne. I'm sorry. I manifested my, or Holy Holy by Neil Diamond. That's when I really get that base. I get into it. But that's when I manifest all my fantasies. I have five Emmys in my head when I walk every day. I manifest that dream, and I manifest having the big house on Zillow. If you have $1,200, you could probably get one tomorrow. All right, all right. I'll collect a few. Yeah, exactly. Exactly, exactly. What's your song? Uh, the one that really gets me pumped up, like if I'm really feeling it and I know I need to be like in a mindset, uh, Jai Ho, Jai Ho. And that's when you put the windows down and it's like. That one, listen, I don't even know any of the words except for Jai Ho. I want you to know something, though. Honestly, when I hear that, that's a bop. You will nearly go through the sunroof, okay? That closing sequence. You will, like, it elevates you. Take a wave. You're like, and as it crescendos, and again, you don't even need to know any of the words. It doesn't matter. Just Jai Ho, and you Jai Ho the whole way to work. And then. Look, I would love to be part of a choreographed dance on a Metro platform. Is that too much to ask for? Next Halloween? Yes, I would. I would do that. Because that's the closing scene of Slumdog Millionaire. They're dancing to Jai Ho. That whole movie is so good. It's a great movie. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. Hey, from catching Pokemon to shouting bingo, some childhood favorites are getting a big honor. That's next. Then let it go. The National Toy Hall of Fame announcing its newest inductees, Bingo, Care Bears, Pokemon, and the classic playground slide making it into the class. The four beat eight other finalists, including Bop It, Tickle Me Elmo, Yahtzee, and Sorry. Anybody can nominate any toy, but the ones that make it into the hall must be considered icons. That means they engage several generations, foster creativity, or profoundly change play or toy design. In case you were wondering, there is the Toy Hall of Fame. It's at the National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York. Tone. What do you think? He should have been in already, okay? Mine is hungry, hungry hippos or Parcheesi. Parcheesi, wow, that's a good one. Yeah, it's an old one. It's delicious. Old generation. I love Parcheesi. Parcheesits. Let's go to Deja. I know we were wondering about some of these other ones earlier. What do you think? What's on your list here? Look, Bop It definitely should have won, okay? That went triple platinum in my house. It was competition, and it was, like, serious, okay? We were Bop It all day. So I think that that would sound weird, but that's something that should have. I feel like it should have been it. That took on me, although I have mixed emotions for it. My mom had to throw mine out because it started, like, laughing in the closet. In the middle of the night, no one was touching it, so I don't know about that one so much. But I agree with Care Bear, because even I had Care Bears, and I didn't realize how far back it went when I actually had them in the 90s. The Care Bear stare? Yeah, the Care Bear stare. And the peculiar purple man approach the bike. Time to ride my flying bike. Is that English? Excuse me? I think Angie's short-circuiting. Just kidding. You guys, he is like, he is the antagonist, like he is the villain, the peculiar purple pie man, a porcupine pike. Am I at church right now? I'm like, I'm like. Did you guys never? Don't look at me, I never liked toys. It's been a long time. Wait, wait. You didn't, wait, hold on. Marina didn't like toys? What did you do? Wait, I mixed them up, by the way. What did you interact with on a daily basis? I had a bicycle. Okay. Okay, and then we had toys around the yard. I never liked toys. She had maracas. I never liked toys. Oh, my God. I mean, I think I remember Pogs was maybe like something that I really liked. Gosh, your childhood. No wonder you're like 80. I'm a lady. Tamagotchi and Monopoly. And a pet rock. ****. But the rest of it's so boring. Do you know what a slide is? What's a slide? Were you able to go down a slide? I hate playgrounds. Oh, your kid's screwed. No, I spent a lot of time there now. Unfortunately, it's like payback. Yeah, it is. It's haunting, isn't it? It is deserved. Parents challenging teachers over their child's grades. 16% of you like it. 84% of you don't. Come back.
