I. Origins of the Term "Bullpen"

The episode begins with Rich Davis sharing an interesting tidbit about baseball terminology. He explains the historical origins of the term "bullpen":

"A term was developed today in 1877 and I know you love these stupid ass fun facts from back in the day. It was the Cincinnati Inquirer who termed this phrase that we still use today in the world of baseball." – Rich Davis [01:28]

Steve Cavino humorously questions the authenticity of the fun fact, leading Rich to elaborate on how "bullpen" originally referred to an area where latecomer fans congregated, resembling cattle, before evolving into its current meaning related to relief pitchers.

II. "Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers" Debate

A significant portion of the episode revolves around the age-old saying "finders keepers, losers weepers." The hosts explore various real-life scenarios where this adage is put to the test.

A. Aaron Judge's Home Run Ball Incident

Steve Cavino recounts a memorable moment from a Yankees game where a fan successfully catches an Aaron Judge home run ball but loses it during celebratory chaos. Another individual swiftly retrieves the lost ball, sparking debate among the hosts.

"Aaron Judge is the bomb. That is a high net is far. That is gone. All rise." – Steve Cavino [04:13]

Rich emphasizes Judge's exceptional hitting prowess, comparing catching his home run to catching legendary players like Babe Ruth or Shohei Ohtani.

"Nowadays, Aaron Judge might be probably as the greatest right-handed hitter these eyes have ever seen." – Steve Cavino [05:09]

This incident raises questions about ownership and ethical behavior when significant items change hands unexpectedly.

B. Brinks Truck in Chicago Mishap

Rich Davis introduces a story about a Brinks truck accident in Chicago, where a forgotten latch led to $300,000 spilling into the neighborhood.

"There is a story about a Brinks truck in Chicago they forgot the latch. The back of it. $300,000 was just blowing around the neighborhood." – Rich Davis [08:40]

The hosts debate the morality of taking substantial sums of money found due to someone's oversight, discussing the potential consequences and ethical implications.

C. $43,000 Found in a Couch at Goodwill

Another intriguing story involves a customer discovering $43,000 hidden within a couch cushion at Goodwill. Despite having no legal obligation, the individual decides to return the money to its rightful owner.

"This guy felt an immense level of guilt or something because he then reached back to Goodwill to see, well, who donated this couch and returned every penny." – Rich Davis [10:07]

The co-hosts analyze whether keeping such money is justifiable, considering factors like traceability and moral responsibility.

D. Personal Anecdotes and Moral Dilemmas

Steve and Rich share personal experiences related to finding lost items, discussing instances where they chose to return items like laptops and phones, and reflecting on societal expectations versus personal morals.

"You want acknowledgement that you did the right thing. Like if you let someone cut in front of you in traffic. All I want is a little wave." – Rich Davis [27:07]

This segment delves into the complexities of ethical decision-making in everyday situations.

---

III. Sports Updates

A. NFL Trade: Cowboys Acquire George Pickens

Dan Byer provides an update on a notable NFL trade where the Dallas Cowboys acquire wide receiver George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for future draft picks.

"Guys, we had a trade in the NFL today as the Dallas Cowboys acquired wide receiver George Pickens in a deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers." – Dan Byer [31:52]

The hosts discuss the implications of the trade, particularly its long-term impact on team dynamics.

B. NBA News: Steph Curry's Injury Impacting Warriors

Steph Curry's Grade 1 hamstring strain is reported to sideline him for at least a week, affecting the Golden State Warriors' playoff series.

"Warriors guard Steph Curry will miss at least a week of action because of a Grade one hamstring strain suffered in last night's Game one win over the Timberwolves." – Dan Byer [32:08]

Steve Cavino and Rich Davis debate the potential outcomes for the Warriors without their star player, emphasizing Curry's significance to the team's success.

---

IV. Family Legacies in Sports

The discussion shifts to the influence of family legacy in professional sports, highlighting multi-generational athletes and the interplay of genetics and upbringing.

"Jaden Fielder. Already hitting bombs. 20 years old. Will could possibly be the third generation slugging fielder." – Steve Cavino [39:16]

Rich Davis and Steve Cavino explore how familial ties and nature versus nurture contribute to athletic prowess, citing examples like Cecil Fielder and his son.

---

V. Ethical Reflections and Personal Responsibility

Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasize the importance of personal responsibility and ethical behavior when encountering situations falling under "finders keepers, losers weepers." They discuss the balance between societal expectations and individual morals, advocating for honest actions even when not legally obligated.

"You want acknowledgement that you did the right thing." – Rich Davis [27:07]

"Finders keepers, losers weepers is a case by case thing." – Steve Cavino [30:14]

But first, we be rocking out. Let's go.

[Rich Davis]

All right. CNR on fsr. Hey. Hey. What a fun fact to start the show.

[Steve Cavino]

I mean, is it really that fun?

[Rich Davis]

I mean, arguably, like mildly fun fact.

[Steve Cavino]

I'm not even certain it's a fact if you probably got it on TikTok or something.

[Danny G]

Well, is it about you on Broadway again?

[Rich Davis]

No, not my days on Broadway. Danny G. A term was developed today in 1877 and I know you love these stupid ass fun facts from back in the day. It was the Cincinnati Inquirer who termed this phrase that we still use today in the world of baseball. Slightly different though they refer to this area where the late fans would gather and they would, they would push them all together like cattle. What do you think the area is?

[Steve Cavino]

The bullpen.

[Rich Davis]

The bullpen. And then they later use that term to, you know, signify where the relief pitchers would warm up. But the bullpen originally was where all the late comers to the game would, would hang out down the line by the outfield.

[Steve Cavino]

I heard your doctor, when you were born came up with the term little nubber. Is that true?

[Rich Davis]

Stop it.

[Steve Cavino]

They're like, it's a boy. They're like, how do you know? Like little number.

[Rich Davis]

Little number.

[Steve Cavino]

And how that came to be. A lot of people don't know that. So that's Rich Davis. I'm Steve Cavino. Thanks for the fun fact. I do often wonder though, Rich, where those sayings came from or how they started. Right.

[Rich Davis]

Well, I mentioned that yesterday. Not to overdo it, but that documentary about Spalding and Rawlings and Wilson on the History Channel does make you realize that these sports are not that old. Like we've, we've talked about how nacho chips and pizza and all these things were developed in our parents lifetime.

[Steve Cavino]

So these things, pizza is the biggest mind blaster. I think our parents didn't grow up ordering pizza. What?

[Rich Davis]

Well, know what I thought Super Bowls are numbered, correct. You're gonna be if you knock on what? Live a nice long life, you could make it to like Super Bowl 100.

[Steve Cavino]

You know, in the future. And you know kids are gonna say, you believe torpedo bats were invented when our parents were old.

[Rich Davis]

That's a phrase that went away already. Who cares about torpedo bets?

[Steve Cavino]

I don't know the little leaguers of the future. Hey, we're broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studio. Remember, after the show, the podcast goes up. If you miss any of today's show or any show ever, should have listened to the podcast. Search Covino and Rich wherever you get your podcast. A C O V I N o sure to follow, rate and review. Give us five stars. I know you'd give us six if you could. But if you leave a nice review, you qualify for a swiggy and we still have your chance to win a swiggy later on in the show.

[Rich Davis]

Well, I'm gonna do it Star Search style. I'm giving you three and three quarter.

[Steve Cavino]

I'm giving you just a half a star.

[Rich Davis]

So let me start by asking a rando question based on your New York Yankees and then we're going to get it to NBA. Listen, last night just proved that. Is it a bunch of road dogs in the NBA road teams winning? All four road teams won for the first time ever.

[Steve Cavino]

And that's the beauty of sports. There's always something you've never seen before. Like last night's Yankees game. Speaking of the Yankees, Aaron Judge hit a bomb. Aaron Judge is the bomb. That is high net is far. That is gone. All rise. The Judge hit a bomb. Or as Michael K. Would say, see ya. And this kid made a really great catch in the outfield. And as I explained to Rich and everybody else who's willing to listen, if you're catching an Aaron Judge home run in today's game, that's the equivalent of catching a home run from Babe Ruth. The that's the equivalent of catching a home run From a Shohei Otani, a modern day baby. There's no one bigger or better. And as the saying goes, nowadays, Aaron Judge might be probably as the greatest right handed hitter these eyes have ever seen. So when you catch a home run, line drive, home run, opposite field from Aaron Judge, that's a big moment.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, that ball only goes out of Yankee Stadium. By the way, just for the record, that's a, that's a. Some fly ball to right field.

[Steve Cavino]

Frozen rope. I wonder where that came from.

[Rich Davis]

That's right, a nine in the scoreboard.

[Steve Cavino]

Any other stadium rich, the frozen rope. So that was a rocket out of Yankee Stadium. Some kid catches it and him and his buddies go ballistic. Has everybody seen this clip or no? Danny G. You see this one? Sam, you see this one? Iowa. Sam's on the ones and twos. Danny G. Super producing. Danny's here.

[Rich Davis]

This is a great John Quinones.

[Steve Cavino]

I'll reenact it for you.

[Rich Davis]

Okay.

[Steve Cavino]

Can you imagine the feeling of a line drive home run coming your way? You're one of 55,000 people. Ah, you brought your mitt like a 12 year old. Ah, catch it. Line drive. You feel like the chosen one. You snag this home run, you and.

[Rich Davis]

Your friends go, yeah.

[Steve Cavino]

While they're celebrating this moment, Michael K is like. And a nice catch from the fan. But what you don't see is that when they're jumping around like a bunch of idiots, which I totally understand because I would do the same thing, the ball squibbles out of the guy's glove and it rolls on the fence. It like bounces on the fence, dude. This guy, a guy right next to him picks it up and like puts it in his pocket. Like, what? Didn't see anything.

[Danny G]

I'm looking at it right now, dude.

[Steve Cavino]

It was the most heartbreaking clip because I was like, you gotta, you gotta give the guy the ball back. And the kids were after their celebration, they look in their glove and they're like, what happened to the ball? What happened to.

[Rich Davis]

You've always been the type of guy that says, finders keepers, losers weepers.

[Steve Cavino]

And I've always said that if I caught a home run or even a foul ball, I'm not giving it to the kid next to me. You know why? Because I've waited my whole life for that moment. So I'm going to keep it, give it to my own kid. Even if my kid's not with me, I'm going to give it to somebody, my nephew, or keep it, depending on what it is.

[Rich Davis]

What do you want to baseball for? If it's an Ohtani or Judge home run, that's one thing.

[Steve Cavino]

Judge home run, right. And he's having a magical season. MVP already putting up crazy numbers. He's batting.400, hitting bombs. And as a guy that says, you know, I would keep it and not give it to a kid, I'm not saying I would take it from a kid. I would have to say in this moment, if someone dropped this ball that they caught, you would have to automatically give it back to them. Now, this guy played it off like, yeah, I don't know what you're talking about. And it happened all so quickly. But John Boy broke it down. It went viral on social media. Everybody was talking about. Does pose the question of what would you do? And I will tell you that the guy that ended up retrieving the ball, the guy right next to the kids, he gave it back as of today. But I really do believe he did it because of social media pressure. Everybody zoomed in on it and saw that the guy caught it because MLB even acknowledged it and they wrote finders keepers.

[Rich Davis]

I do wonder your thoughts on the whole finders keepers, losers weepers, was that.

[Steve Cavino]

Your Yankees thought or question?

[Rich Davis]

It was actually, you know, our dumb brains on the same page.

[Steve Cavino]

Nice. Well, that was one of the bigger stories last night.

[Rich Davis]

But I think when you think about that phrase finders keepers, losers weepers, it brings up another story that I saw in the news and it does go back to, well, if you find it, is it yours? In fact, there's two other stories. Did you see that Brinks truck in Chicago? They forgot the latch. The back of it. $300,000 was just blowing around the neighborhood.

[Steve Cavino]

That's crazy.

[Rich Davis]

If you pick up a stack, Danny G. Are you giving it back?

[Danny G]

It's like those dumb machines radio stations used to have at remotes. Yeah. Where they let contestants go in and try to grab as much cash blowing around as they could.

[Rich Davis]

Because there's a few stories that has to do with finders keepers, Losers weepers. One, the Aaron Judge home run ball fan that snags it just dribbles out of his glove and the guy next to him sneaks sneakily gets it. Second story, if a bank truck doesn't latch the door and hundreds of thousands of dollars are just out there, are you giving it back?

[Steve Cavino]

I would try to keep that unless it was traceable. Because I'm like, whoa, yeah, they can.

[Danny G]

Trace the serial number.

[Steve Cavino]

Well, then in that case, you're doing the right thing by giving it back.

[Iowa Sam]

That's they can find out it's me, then I got to do the right thing.

[Rich Davis]

I don't know, I mean, it feels like. Or you buy a really nice purchase with cash real quick. Like, let me buy a car, cash.

[Steve Cavino]

Here you go.

[Rich Davis]

Bye.

[Steve Cavino]

But they could trace it back. Like, who's the jabroni that, you know, paid with this money? I don't know. I would feel too risky to keep that when I would want to keep it. And then there's another story. It was like a local story. Some old guy, some old guy who needed money. He was broke already looked like a broke Santa Claus. Some older dude goes to a thrift store, a thrift shop, like a Goodwill. And he buys a couch. Like an old couch you see in your grandparents basement.

[Rich Davis]

It was orangey and brown.

[Steve Cavino]

You know that orangey brown couch that everybody had in the 80s with the wagon wheels on it and flowers and it's orange and brown. This guy bought a couch and he's sitting on it and he's like, it's kind of uncomfortable. And he opens the cushion on the ottoman and inside the cushion was $43,000. And he couldn't believe it. One would think that, oh my God, good karma's finally coming back to me. The gods have spoken. Today's my lucky day. But this guy felt an immense level of guilt or something because he then reached back to Goodwill to see, well, who donated this couch and returned every penny. He returned every penny. That just happened.

[Danny G]

They better have given him a big reward.

[Steve Cavino]

Dude, I said give him 20%, give him 8,000. And the guy even said he needed it, but he felt better returning it to its rightful owner. Apparently, like the person's grandfather stuffed that couch at $43,000 and nobody knew about it. So he had no legal obligation to return that money. But that's another current story that just went viral this week. So what would you do? And do you believe in finders keepers?

[Rich Davis]

I think Danny G's wife Brenda would divorce him if he gave the money back.

[Steve Cavino]

I'll tell you what, in that case, I'm keeping that money.

[Iowa Sam]

Absolutely.

[Steve Cavino]

I think I'm keeping that money. You buy a couch, you feel like, whoa. Why is that not your destiny, man? I guess that's whoa.

[Iowa Sam]

Grandpappy probably put the money in there. He had, you know, dementia, forgot about it. It's your money at that point. It's been so long, the serial numbers are no longer traceable. That's your cash.

[Steve Cavino]

And by the way, that's different. The grandkids or whoever Ended up getting that money back. The kids of that guy, they had no idea that this money ever existed. They didn't know where it came from. But this guy who bought that couch from the thrift shop said he felt like it was the right thing to do. And I guess, you know, from a moral standpoint, maybe it is. From a moral standpoint, each case is different.

[Rich Davis]

Let me ask you from a moral standpoint. You see, this happens every year. There's at least one of these stories. Someone's at an estate sale or yard sale and they find a painting and they're like, yeah, 10 bucks. And they don't realize it's like a million dollar painting or.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, to me, it's very similar.

[Rich Davis]

That's an old box of 1950s baseball cards. Yeah, dude, 20 bucks.

[Steve Cavino]

That happens on pawn Stars every once in a while. Rick acts like he's some righteous dude where some guy wants like, yeah, I'll take 50 bucks for it. But Rick knows it's worth, you know, a few thousand. And because he's on tv, he's like, I'll tell you what, man, it's worth a little more than I'll have my guy come in and appraise it. And because he doesn't want to rip him off on tv, that's really what it comes down to. But it's sort of that same thing. What would you do in these situations? 87799 on Fox. The baseball dude. I would have gave it back. I'm happy to hear today that he did. I do feel that he felt the social pressure to do so, though, because it looked like on TV that he had no intention of giving that ball back. He was trying to play it off. Too many people saw it. The couch money. If I bought furniture or bought anything from a garage sale, like you said, rich, and ended up being valuable to me, that's just. Man, that's just luck on your side for once. Danny G. Your prayers were answered. You could pay off your debt. You know what I mean? Whatever the case is, like, oh, my God, that's my kid's college money. To me, that. That's when you keep it.

[Danny G]

What if something was accidentally stored inside your purchase like last year?

[Steve Cavino]

Oh, no.

[Danny G]

This lady who flipped home, she bought a dresser, and it was taped up from moving. And the person she bought it from, they didn't. They didn't remember that they had packed the family's china inside the dresser and then taped the dresser up. So she gets this dresser home that she bought online from the person, opens it up, and there's this expensive china. All these dishes in China inside the dresser. And she got a hold of the person she bought it from, and she returned the family plate.

[Steve Cavino]

Remember I said case by case? China to me means diddly squat. That's our parents.

[Danny G]

But, you know, she could have sold it. That's worth a lot of money.

[Steve Cavino]

I get all that. But that, to me, seems like a family heirloom of sorts that I wouldn't give a deadly squat about.

[Danny G]

Kind of like people's family pictures almost.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, like av. You know what? This is probably meant for you guys, and it was probably passed down. The cash money that's universally good for everybody.

[Iowa Sam]

Well, how much was is a random home run ball worth? It's probably not worth really anything, so he should give it back. It's got a memento.

[Steve Cavino]

And he did as of today. But, man, what a funny clip. Guys, you got to see, if you haven't seen it, the quickness of the guy next to him, because, again, it drew squibble. Would squibble be the word? Yeah, squibbled along the top of the wall, and some other guy snagged it. Kind of wild to see. What would you do?

[Iowa Sam]

You say? Yoink.

[Steve Cavino]

He yanked it. He yoinked it. I don't know.

[Rich Davis]

When I bought my house, the same family had lived there forever, like, since it was built. So when we were going through the attic with our contractor, I did find stuff that I put aside. I'm like, let me call the OG Owner if I can and be like, hey, do you want, like, your kids high school yearbooks from the 70s and 80s. I thought I was doing a good deed, and, like, nah, you throw it out. So sometimes people just don't want that crap when you think they might trash.

[Steve Cavino]

And treasure all that stuff. But, yeah, money, man, $43,000 is a lot to give up. If you found it, give me the.

[Rich Davis]

Ruling on not 43 grand in a couch or in a vase or something. I feel like it's also the plotline of, like, a comedy where you take the cash, you think it's yours, and then you get a knock on the door. It's like the mo. Like, it's like some. Some mobsters, like, yeah, you got our money. You bought that couch. You were not supposed to buy that, and you already spent the money.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah.

[Iowa Sam]

Have you guys ever seen the movie A Simple Plan with Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton?

[Steve Cavino]

First of all, loves the band.

[Iowa Sam]

A Simple Plan is an excellent movie. It's about these two friends who find this Plane crash in the woods in like Maine. They find like $200,000 in cash in a bag. And it's not the people coming after him, it's what happens between the two friends and how they try to divvy up the money and all kinds of chaos ensues. It's a fantastic movie.

[Steve Cavino]

But Sam, if you found money, wouldn't that be like a modern day version of like, you found the treasure. You found the hidden treasure. That's your treasure. One Eyed Willy's treasure.

[Iowa Sam]

You found this.

[Rich Davis]

Our wish.

[Steve Cavino]

This is my wish. This is my treasure. I think that's way different than the ball, way different than anything else. That's my money. I try to be a good person. I want to do the right thing, as Spike Lee said. But in this case, I'm keeping that treasure. I found it.

[Danny G]

If you felt guilty, couldn't you just replace the money with a whole bunch of IOUs?

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, just as good as money.

[Rich Davis]

Dumber stuff. Yeah, just as good. All right, so I break it down this way. You're walking down the street.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

You see a $20 bill on the floor. Do you immediately pick it up quickly and put in your pocket or do you look around like, hey, do you look in the vicinity like maybe that lady dropped it? Like, how quick are you to just put in your own pocket?

[Steve Cavino]

You pick it up and you do the, you know, over each shoulder sort of thing.

[Danny G]

First you make sure it's not on a string so you don't get punked.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, yeah. Or something. Right. Now you gotta look over each shoulder.

[Rich Davis]

I, I do wonder to what extent would you say finders keepers, losers weepers when it comes to, I mean, anything for that matter, are you. If you're in a hotel room and the previous person left something there, you're not taking it yet. People do. Because the reality is people take things all the time. We're, we're giving ourselves a lot of credit and we shouldn't. We're just being reasonably good people. How many times have you left something in a hotel room, called back 10 minutes later and like, yep, can't find.

[Steve Cavino]

It all the time, like something stupid. Charger, I left my laptop.

[Rich Davis]

Charger.

[Steve Cavino]

Yep. Really?

[Rich Davis]

Cuz I left an hour ago, someone took it. Hey, you know, I left, I left a leather jacket in the closet.

[Steve Cavino]

That's my point. That's karma working your to your advantage. So how many times that happened to you in your life? Right? And you're like, man, I just can never do nothing. Now you walk in and you have this prize there. Why are you gonna give it back? This is, this is how life makes things, even for you, man. That's my money.

[Rich Davis]

My mom, my mom recently found a gift card laying in a parking lot and just for the heck of it, she picked it up and went into that store and it had like 80 bucks on it.

[Steve Cavino]

Oh.

[Rich Davis]

And I was like, I was like, I don't think that's a. I think that's a finders keepers, cuz. What do you do? You, hey, did anyone drop a gift card?

[Steve Cavino]

Is that why your mom's wearing work boots from work boot warehouse?

[Rich Davis]

I didn't tell you where the gift card is from. All right. So your thoughts at 87799 on Fox. Really funny story out of Yankee Stadium last night. Yankee fan, you got to see the video. He catches the home run. In fact, we'll put it on our Instagram story at Kobe, nonrich guy catches the ball in celebration, squibbles out of his glove. The guy next to him in the slickest way possible. I was saying, if you see how slow grabs it, puts it his pocket and starts clapping again.

[Steve Cavino]

Hold on. You don't see it in real time. That's the thing. Cause I saw this in real time and didn't notice. I thought, man, what a great catch. You didn't see it until they slowed it down. An instant replay.

[Rich Davis]

So what are the rules of finders keepers, losers weepers? We'll get to that. Plus we'll talk some NBA. And Tom Brady has finally talked about Shador Sanders and what happened draft night. So little TB12 and Shador, some NBA. And of course we do midweek major with Spot and Mike's words of wisdom. We're going to fit this all in.

[Steve Cavino]

Oh, yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Action packed CNR right here on Fox Sports Radio.

Yeah, the lineup is unparalleled. Comfort, style and performance. It's really top quality stuff. The T shirts are the perfect fit. Those waffle sweaters, so nice too.

[Steve Cavino]

You don't have the old, you know, when the neck gets real weak on your T shirts. It's high quality stuff for a reason. It looks good. It looks nice no matter where you're going.

[Steve Cavino]

Hey, welcome back to the Shogram program. The world famous CNR and fsr.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, always posting great clips at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio spots back today. But yesterday our buddy Elijah and Sagar posted a clip where you called me out, I thought I invented playing angry.

[Steve Cavino]

Rich posed a question, is it all right to teach kids to play angry? I was like, didn't Coach Klein say that in the water? Boy, water sucks. And there's a really funny clip for your viewing pleasures at Covino and Rich. Funny as hell at Fox Sports Radio. If you want to play along at home, if you ever want to call in, it's 87799 on Fox. Again. We're live from the FOX Sports Radio studio. Now, later in the show, midweek, major spots getting ready for the biggest stories in sports and pop culture. Are they mid week or major? Plus, we're giving away prizes on Wednesday. It's your turn to win, but it's your turn to pay attention. And that's hard to do in today's world. Can you repeat Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom word for word? If you do, you could win a swiggy later on in the show. But we're wrapping up our John Quinones segment of the day with what would you do?

[Rich Davis]

It's a tough one because I think it's so finders keepers, losers weepers is a great phrase from our childhood.

[Steve Cavino]

But I got one for you. I got a scenario when I was a kid we all experienced. I think this is a relatable one. I think we've all experienced this. We got into baseball cards. For me, it was around 86, right. And I got way into it.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, I was a year later, by.

[Steve Cavino]

87, I was neck deep into those wooden.

[Rich Davis]

I was gonna say I was an 87 kid.

[Steve Cavino]

My border.

[Rich Davis]

My basement paneling matched the baseball cards.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, those 87 tops with the wood border. So I got way into it. Any adult that would listen to me, I would tell him about my baseball cards. And I found out through a family member that Uncle Victor and Uncle angel used to collect cards all the time. I'm like, they did? Yeah, they're probably in the basement in an old house that my grandma still owned, but she rented out. Probably in there somewhere. Dude, 30, 40 years must have gone by. 50 years must have gone by since anyone ever cared. So I was a little kid that took it upon myself to go rummaging to try to find them. Even though my Uncle Victor and Angel had their own kids and maybe they rightfully belonged to them, they didn't care about it. And I'm the one going into another town in the basement of another home to try to find these in old cigar boxes, in old storage boxes and bins. They're not finders keepers. Mine now, because I'm the only kid that cared.

[Rich Davis]

Is that the same day you found One Eyed Willie's map?

[Steve Cavino]

It's the same day I found the treasure. But dude, I can't tell you how many. 63 Mantles, I'm trying to think 64 Maris Mantles, Clemente's that I got because I was the only kid willing to look for them. I mean, you can tell I was supposed to find them and give them back to my uncle.

[Rich Davis]

They didn't care about them. You didn't tell anyone though, did you?

[Steve Cavino]

Hell yeah.

[Rich Davis]

You told your cousins though.

[Steve Cavino]

They were too little to care. I was the only one. I only when I wanted them. I hope they're not listening now cuz they're gonna try to cash in on it.

[Rich Davis]

They come knocking 40 years later, but.

[Steve Cavino]

That'S not finders keepers. I think finders keepers, losers weepers, is a case by case thing. You know, you do have a moral obligation sometimes. If you have a conscience, that also applies. But sometimes I think karma works to your advantage and you gotta like live and relish in those moments.

[Rich Davis]

I think it's also, you could say it shouldn't matter, but I think it matters who the OG owner is. Like Danny, the one where it's the guy found 40 something grand in a couch cushion. If you found out who the OG owner of that couch was and it was like the Buxton's who live in Calabasas, I'm keeping the money.

[Steve Cavino]

Or someone from the Gambino crime family.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, you might be like, oh, but if you find out it was like, yeah, single. Single mom just donated that couch because she needed the cat. Like, I. I think it really depends.

[Danny G]

I think it's not supposed to, but.

[Rich Davis]

But it does.

[Danny G]

Yeah.

[Steve Cavino]

You know what happens, too, though, sometimes? And, Rich, I know you alluded to this before, but I gotta mention it again. You think you're doing the right thing, and then that person's like, yeah, whatever. You read that story that Tom Segura tells. Comedian Tom Segura talks about that he was in a cab or something and he found someone's license.

[Danny G]

That's right. Yeah.

[Steve Cavino]

You heard that one. And he's like, you know, I felt this moral obligation to maybe keep it, and I had this kid's license forever. He goes, I s you. Not like, years later, he's being waited on. He goes, hey, you're Justin. And the guy's like, yeah, so what? He's like, I got your license. He goes like, can you mail it? You got it with you? Can you mail it to me? Like, he's like, do you realize the. The coincidence here? I got your license. You're waiting on me. How are you not thankful in this moment? Sometimes you think you're doing the right thing, and you think you're gonna get all this praise, or the gods are gonna smile on you and you're granted great, you know, karma for the rest of your life. They don't care. I've done nice things before. And they're like, yeah, thanks, Steve.

[Iowa Sam]

You said that he. You said he had a moral obligation to keep it or send it back.

[Steve Cavino]

Tom Sigurd kept it because he was like, you know, I guess I'll throw it in the mail one day or whatever. The kid ended up waiting him. Waiting on him at a table.

[Iowa Sam]

Did he actually send it back to the guy?

[Rich Davis]

It's a comedy bit, Staz.

[Steve Cavino]

Sam. No, it's not a comedy bit.

[Iowa Sam]

That's the thing is, like, if he kept it, then he's not doing him any favors.

[Steve Cavino]

It's a true story, though.

[Rich Davis]

Keep it.

[Iowa Sam]

What's the point of keeping someone else's?

[Steve Cavino]

But the point is, he's like, you don't find it crazy that I remember your face and I have your license, and now you're waiting on me? And the kid was, like, not thankful and didn't care at all. And was it a trifold wallet or.

[Danny G]

It's almost that same feeling where at a counter. And you don't have to tip. You put a five in the tip jar, and they don't even acknowledge it. They don't even look.

[Steve Cavino]

They cover my hand there, and I'm.

[Danny G]

Like, yeah, you want to take it back? Almost. At least nod your head and say thanks.

[Steve Cavino]

When you do the right thing, you do want it and you shouldn't. I know that's not the reason to do it, but you do want to at least get. Get a little satisfaction.

[Rich Davis]

It's not satisfaction. What you want is like the story.

[Steve Cavino]

You told when you gave that wallet back.

[Rich Davis]

You want. You want acknowledgement that you did the right thing. Like if you let someone cut in front of you in traffic. All I want is a little wave. When I don't get the wave, I'm like. When I get the wave, I'm like, you son of a. I cut them.

[Steve Cavino]

I cut them off again. Speed up to cut them off again.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, spots. Very spiteful. I will say this. I have two stories. We'll wrap it with this. But Kavino's right. I have two particular stories that. Mine's not a comedy bit, though. Like Tom Segar. But it was funny.

[Steve Cavino]

It's not a comedy bit. It's a real story. But finders keepers is the question again. Some kid ended up snagging someone else's home run ball from Aaron Judge last night. Another guy found $43,000 in a couch this week, and he gave it back. There's all sorts of stories.

[Rich Davis]

I have two quickies. One, I was at jfk. I was at. I was at the airport. And when I tell you I'm getting in, I'm getting in a car service. I see some guy get out of the car I'm getting into. He left his laptop bag in the back of the car. I was actually. There's a car in front of me about to pull away. I go to the driver, Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait up, wait up.

[Steve Cavino]

Wait. Didn't this happen with Lloyd Christmas and Mary Swanson? Are you just repeating Dumb and Dumber? This guy's just stealing movie plots every day.

[Iowa Sam]

We just heard the Dumb and Dumber references already.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, yesterday was Waterboy. Now he's quoting Dumb and Dumber.

[Rich Davis]

Samsonite. I was way off.

[Iowa Sam]

Swinson. Swappy. He actually gets it right for a second. Yeah, he's like, Swanson. Swanson.

[Rich Davis]

No, it can't be that.

[Iowa Sam]

No. Samsonite.

[Rich Davis]

No, I would say I asked you, not I. This is a true story. It does sound like Samsonite, though. I saw the guy's laptop. I stopped the car service from pulling away. I stopped the guy. I'm like, yo, guy, you left your. Like, your MacBook in the car, weren't.

[Steve Cavino]

You telling him to pull over? And he said, no, it's a car to give a thanks.

[Rich Davis]

No, he didn't even say thank you. He goes, oh, that is.

[Iowa Sam]

You were paying it forward. That's paying it forward is when you do a favor for. That's how you keep people's hope of society for society intact.

[Steve Cavino]

That's karma. And God, or whoever you believe or what do you believe in saying, you should have kept it.

[Rich Davis]

Dude, I'm not gonna keep his MacBook. I'm just saying I saw a car pulling away. I'm thinking, this guy would have went on his business trip, been like, where's my MacBook? Would have had to call Uber, you know, Lyft, locate his laptop, get it shipped. I saved this guy a hell of a hassle.

[Steve Cavino]

Remember the time Dave Coulier left his iPad in the bathroom and we had to track him down and be like, yo, dude, we got your iPad. True story. Swear to God, Dave Coulway, I think.

[Rich Davis]

You just wanted to name drop Uncle Joey.

[Steve Cavino]

It's true, though.

[Rich Davis]

Remember, we had a cutback. He lost his iPad.

[Steve Cavino]

He left his iPad in the bathroom at Sir. And it was Dave Coulier's.

[Rich Davis]

What was he doing with this?

[Steve Cavino]

And I called him up.

[Rich Davis]

I was like, hey, Dave, it's me. Cut it out.

[Steve Cavino]

I was like, blow me down.

[Rich Davis]

Cool.

[Steve Cavino]

Yay.

[Rich Davis]

So one last quickie, then we'll get to Dan Vi for an update. But along the lines of finders keepers, you would think I was. Sam, you made a great point. As much as I busted your chops about the Cigura story, well, I just.

[Iowa Sam]

Want to know if he actually did ever return it.

[Rich Davis]

But the reality is, a lot of times, Sam.

[Iowa Sam]

Because that's the only thing that would matter, right?

[Rich Davis]

A lot of times you're right. You do these things because you're like, you hope that people do the right thing, right? Like, the whole thing is, like, if you do the right thing, you hope that one day, God forbid, you leave your wallet somewhere someone else does the right thing. I found someone's cell phone at a restaurant. No one claimed it. This restaurant was closing. I took it. I called the person I found. I went through their phone, and I called a friend of theirs. I answered like, hey, I found this person's phone. I'd like them to get it back. You know, I know what it's like if you lose a phone. Do you know the response they gave me was like, where are you? Can you bring it to me?

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah.

[Iowa Sam]

Because you guys Live out in the northeast, and everyone's a jerk.

[Steve Cavino]

Dude, this is ridiculous.

[Rich Davis]

This. This girl's like, I'm on the Upper east side. Can you bring it up here?

[Iowa Sam]

I'm like, how about I throw it in the river?

[Rich Davis]

I'm in midtown Manhattan. I held onto it. The next day, she's like, yeah, like I was gonna get a new phone anyway. Where are you? You can't come up here. I'm like, can't come up here.

[Steve Cavino]

See, that's what I mean. Sometimes it's like, not worth it.

[Rich Davis]

I told her, I'm like, so I left it at wherever I was. I went into that store and I'm like, I found this phone. I told her it's at the store. I'm not.

[Iowa Sam]

Did more than enough.

[Steve Cavino]

What do you do? Finders keepers, losers weepers. It is case by case. That's what we're getting at. And don't expect, you know, you're doing it for the wrong reasons. If you expect some sort of applause, you know, sometimes you're just not going to get that. But I guess the world, the universe knows you did the right thing, and there's some peace in that. And major props to the guy that gave back the $43,000. That's a bigger guy than me. I'm not sure I would have done that.

[Rich Davis]

All right, let's go to our pal and yours, Dan Byer, for an update. Db, what's going on, man?

[Dan Byer]

Guys, we had a trade in the NFL today as the Dallas Cowboys acquired wide receiver George Pickens in a deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers are getting a third round pick in 2026 and a fifth rounder in 2027. By sending Pickens to Dallas Cowboys will also get a sixth rounder in 2027.

[Steve Cavino]

What does that mean for Rogers?

[Dan Byer]

I don't think it means anything.

[Steve Cavino]

Nothing at all for Rogers.

[Dan Byer]

I think that it's Pittsburgh acquiring DK Metcalf and them focusing on him being their number one wide receiver and getting a third round pick. It may be a longer.

[Steve Cavino]

I'll.

[Dan Byer]

I'll say this in connection to it, because this was a deal that was done after the draft. They're not going to get the pick until next year. They obviously have their eyes more on the future. So if Rogers is only there for this year, this deal does not help them in 2025. Makes sense, but more of a long term sort of play. But Pickens is only a couple of years in the league, so he's got a lot of football ahead of him.

[Rich Davis]

He's good for a thousand type of yard season.

[Dan Byer]

I think he's got extreme talent, but there's just there have just been gaps in places that you got to shore up. Warriors guard Steph Curry will miss at least a week of action because of a Grade one hat hamstring strain suffered in last night's Game one win over the Timberwolves. That means Curry would be out for Games 2, 3 and 4 of that playoff series. Game 2 tonight Knicks and Celtics 7 Eastern Game 2 Nuggets and Thunder 9:30 Eastern Time. On the ice, Panthers and Leafs will skate in their game too at 7 Eastern, while Game 1 between the Stars and Jets is in Winnipeg at 9:30 Eastern Time. The Utah Hockey Club will become the Utah Mammoth beginning next season as the franchise will permanently change their name. They'll also be keeping their current colors Day baseball right now Riches Mets on top of the Diamondbacks 3 nothing in the seventh. Juan Soto a sixth home run of the season. Aisley the Mariners 5 four in the seventh. Dodgers and Marlins scoreless right now in the fifth finals from earlier today. Guardians beat the Nats 8 six, Astros routed Milwaukee 9 one. Cardinals blink the Pirates 5 nothing the Giants were 31 winners against the Cubs and PSG onto the Champions League final topping Arsenal today 31 on aggregate. They'll face Inter Milan in the Champions League final on the last day of May. Guys, back to you.

[Steve Cavino]

Thank you, DB and Rich. He talked about Curry being out for at least a game, right? Three games.

[Rich Davis]

Three. Yeah. Well, way to listen to Dan Byer. I listen to you, Dan. I know you're a Cavino guy, but just know who listens.

[Steve Cavino]

Closer noted Jimmy Butler. No, it got me thinking about what Jimmy Butler said about having a guy like Steph Curry on the team. He said that he's the best in the game and it makes his job and winning a lot easier. Yeah, and that's just such a low key profound statement because that applies to everything in life, to what we do. We have fun, we have a great team. These guys play like Steph Curry. It makes our job easier. If you have a great partner in life, girlfriend, wife, whatever. They make winning easier because they're good at what they do. No doubt.

[Rich Davis]

It's Steph Curry is that guy.

[Steve Cavino]

And Jimmy Butler said, yo, makes the game easy. Makes winning easier. When you got him on the team.

[Rich Davis]

Does it not show you how important it was for the warriors to have stolen Game one in Minnesota? So now if they could get to Game five.

[Steve Cavino]

But my point is winning ain't easy. Now for the next three if they could.

[Rich Davis]

If they could get. If they could snake one of the three and get to game five tied two two and get Curry back. That's where I think at worst they have to be. You can't. You can't be down 3:1 because Steph's out. So good luck to the Golden State Warriors.

[Steve Cavino]

All right, so again, Cavino and Rich and we got Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom and midweek major all coming up. We're live from the Fox sports radio studio. More next. Welcome back to the show. Covino and Rich, always satisfying live from the Fox sports radio studio. And now it's time. It's time for a tire rack play of the day. And I'm sure you can guess it, Mr. Overrated At it again.

[Rich Davis]

Overrated.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah. Was that it again?

[Rich Davis]

Four seconds to go. Halliburton for three. Three ball. Up top, Indiana by one. One and one. Ten seconds to go. Inbound. Merrill didn't get it off. And this rivals the Milwaukee finish. You have got to be kidding me. I felt the same way. You got to be kidding me. They were winning that game. Didn't were they winning that game? Every moment I think.

[Steve Cavino]

Until then, Tyrese Halliburton game winning three Pacers win 121 19.

[Rich Davis]

Man, that is your tire rack play of the day for over 40 years.

[Steve Cavino]

Man.

[Rich Davis]

Tyrese Halliburton and his dad wasn't even there to see it. He's been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where you drive ship fast and free. Backed by road hazard protection for free. Convenient installation options also available. That's tire rack.com the way tire buying should be now cove tonight.

[Steve Cavino]

Speaking of the NBA, Nick Celtics Nuggies Thunder.

[Rich Davis]

They're expecting home teams to step it up tonight. In fact, if you look on draftkings anywhere right now, both double digit favorites. Like they think Boston is coming out strong tonight. So they are ten and a half point favorites over the Knicks and okc. Double digit favorites over the Nuggies. So if you think that game ones.

[Steve Cavino]

Were no surprise, home team step it up again. I mean well, or have to at this point. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

And I'm saying like Vegas is saying like yo, home teams are going to dominate tonight. So we'll. We'll see. Now I want to throw a little fun fact out there that'll make you feel old. I know no one likes that feeling.

[Steve Cavino]

Is it really that fun though?

[Rich Davis]

I guess it's really. It's not a fun fact really. We've seen. Remember when you were a kid, it was always wild to you to realize some of your coaches used to play in the big leagues. Like, I'm a Mets fan. I remember, like, wait, Davey Johnson was on the Orioles. Wait, Sparky Anderson played baseball?

[Steve Cavino]

Because they looked like they were 105 years old. You could never imagine that they played ball.

[Rich Davis]

I remember even thinking, like, wait a minute, Lou Piniello was also a player at one point.

[Steve Cavino]

Sweet Lou. Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

But when you're a kid, it never dawned on you that, oh, wow, these managers were players when our parents were kids. And then you started seeing generational guys like, oh, Griffey and Griffey Jr. I don't know if we've ever seen this in the modern era. If we have, please jump in. When we were a kid. Give me one of your favorite. I was going to say fat. That's not nice, but I'll say it. Give me one of your favorite fat sluggers.

[Steve Cavino]

Steve Balboni.

[Rich Davis]

Good answer.

[Steve Cavino]

Another one.

[Rich Davis]

I'll give you his initials, cf.

[Steve Cavino]

If you're going to give me the fun fact that his grandson is also in the big leagues. We talked about that already.

[Rich Davis]

He's not in the big leagues. I'm going to karate kick you the Arizona League.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah. And.

[Rich Davis]

But he hit a home run in his first at bat as a quote pro.

[Steve Cavino]

That's Prince's son, by the way.

[Rich Davis]

So. Cecil. Yeah. Look at you hijacking my thought.

[Steve Cavino]

Hijacking your thought? I'm the one that told you this.

[Rich Davis]

Cecil.

[Steve Cavino]

Cecil's son. Cecil and Prince both who ended up with 309 home runs. Prince is long retired now, and his son's already doing it on a professional level.

[Rich Davis]

Guess what his son's name is.

[Steve Cavino]

I forgot.

[Rich Davis]

Such a young kid name.

[Steve Cavino]

What is it?

[Rich Davis]

Jaden.

[Steve Cavino]

Jaden Fielder.

[Rich Davis]

Jaden Fielder.

[Steve Cavino]

Already hitting bombs.

[Rich Davis]

20 years old. Will could possibly be the third generation slugging fielder.

[Steve Cavino]

And there's another one. Prince has two big boys. Oh, boy. Yeah. So amazing to see that legacy continue on off the top of your dome.

[Rich Davis]

Any others come to mind?

[Steve Cavino]

As far as legacy? Well, as far as family legacy, no, I'm saying Fred Boone was named a hitting coach for the Texas Rangers, like, out of nowhere, apparently, like, Bruce Bochy, like, hit him up, like, hey, what are you doing? He's like, yeah, I gotta deal on some white walls.

[Rich Davis]

Call you later.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, call you later. And all of a sudden, Brett Boone is now coaching in the bigs. And db. You saw that story?

[Dan Byer]

Yeah. Did you hear John Morose story?

[Steve Cavino]

What is that?

[Dan Byer]

He was covering the Yankees game. And Aaron Boone said, hey, man, if you hear anything about that Rangers hitting coach, hit me up, knowing all along that it was going to be his brother.

[Rich Davis]

And then.

[Dan Byer]

So then when morose he got the news, he was like, ah, you know, if you know anything, hit me up.

[Steve Cavino]

That's so cool. Yeah, Brett wasn't. He ran into somebody somewhere like, hey, what are you doing, Brad? He's like, you know, just doing the podcast live. Brett being Brett Boone. And next thing you know, Bruce Bochy's on the phone with him, and out of nowhere, he's the hitting coach of the Rangers. Because they had to shake things up a little bit.

[Rich Davis]

The Matthews family in the NFL, I believe they're three generations. But three. Three is a lot, right? I get those extended families where it's just a bunch of athletes.

[Steve Cavino]

The lighters are still doing it now their kids are in the league. So, yeah, it's crazy to see how genetics are passed on in sports.

[Rich Davis]

No doubt. And you wonder, is it. That's what you ask yourself the most. Is it nature versus nurture? Is it because they've had every. Every, like, cool.

[Steve Cavino]

It's a boring answer of both. It really is both.

[Rich Davis]

I guess it really is nature and nurture, but.

[Steve Cavino]

But again, generate three generations of fielders. You know, it'd be really crazy if his son ends up with 309 home runs in the bigs.

[Rich Davis]

That'd be the coolest. All right, more giving on rich and midweek Major. Next.

[Danny G]

You're listening to an iHeart podcast.
