[Rich Davis]

Did your parents Put your head in the microwave packed full of radiation. Yeah.

[Olivia Carville]

[Steve Cavino]

You did?

[Olivia Carville]

No, no, no, I didn't.

[Rich Davis]

Of course not.

[Steve Cavino]

Any kind of metal we're broadcasting.

[Olivia Carville]

As far as my mom knows, my little brother did it.

[Steve Cavino]

Now, a quickie conversation based off a funny meme Danny G sent us last night that's gone a bit viral. If you want to read it, I'd appreciate it.

[Rich Davis]

Kof a lost skill. What's a lost skill that the current generation lacks understanding of? Okay, let's chop it up. Let's think about it.

[Steve Cavino]

I got a few.

[Rich Davis]

You know where you often see this on videos that go viral? Where you see parents hand over a teenage kid a weenial. They all hand this weenial. Rotary phone.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

And they're like, dial that number. And it's not necessarily a skill, but it was a skill we had. Like you mentioned, Rich, memorizing phone numbers. These kids have no idea how to do it.

[Olivia Carville]

They're handed a cassette.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Olivia Carville]

They don't know how to put it in and play it.

[Rich Davis]

You know what, speaking of Danny G, that was one of my thoughts I wrote down. They'll never understand. They'll never have a complete understanding when it comes to the art of the mixtape. Yeah. They know what making playlists are all about, but they'll never know the art of the. Of the mixtape.

[Olivia Carville]

The real mixtape.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah.

[Olivia Carville]

Where that came from. The word tape.

[Rich Davis]

Exactly.

[Steve Cavino]

I wrote that mixtape to us because I said, yeah, you can hand someone and be like, hey, here's a link. I put together a great Spotify playlist. There is an art and a love.

[Rich Davis]

And art and like, you made the time you gave that to somebody. Oh, my goodness. You put so much heart and thought into that.

[Steve Cavino]

Well, now just go on Spotify or Apple or Amazon or any app for that matter, and you're just dropping and dragging songs.

[Olivia Carville]

It's like, AI, it does all the work for you.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, how about this? Hold on. They'll never have a complete understanding. Like you could tell them, but they'll know. They'll not know everything. Like in that one song that you couldn't buy or you couldn't find, you're waiting on the radio for it to play and then you're just hoping to. Bozo dj, guys that we grew up to be didn't talk over the introduction. So there was so much involved in the art of the mixtape that kids lack understanding of.

[Steve Cavino]

I want to open this conversation up a little bit because I think we'll get better answers if I adjust the question a little bit.

[Rich Davis]

Sure.

[Steve Cavino]

Because the phones are all hot. But I feel like I want to angle it a little bit differently.

[Rich Davis]

87799 on Fox.

[Steve Cavino]

I'm with you. I don't think we should keep it to just skill. I think it should be something that we were so into or a part of our lives that our kids generation will not know. I don't think it needs to be necessarily a skill, you know? You know, but I'm talking about just like, I'll give you one, the things that were a big part of our life. For instance, if you wanted to get to a big time concert or go to a Dodgers opening day or Yankees opening day, you would have to wait outside a store in a long line for Ticketmaster to open it, like your local video store. They don't know that hassle. They're just like, dad, mom, can you go on StubHub or SeatGeek or something. They don't know the struggle of hoping that there weren't too many people in line.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. And I have these conversations all the time. I have a teenage pain in the ass. I mean, teenage daughter who often asks me like, well, dad, if you had to meet up with somebody, well, what would you do? I'm like, oh, I'm glad you asked. Because I think you have a lack of understanding of how times were. We didn't have no way of communicating. We'd have text messaging or cell phones or anything like that. You would just find the biggest or popular landmark, like Yankee Stadium, for example. You see the Big Bad at Yankee Stadium? I don't know. You'd meet there or you'd have a meeting Spot like you really had no other way.

[Steve Cavino]

That's how you met up.

[Rich Davis]

Or what if your friend was at the mall, though? How would you find them? I'm like, I don't know. You just, you just would try to find them. That's all.

[Steve Cavino]

You circle until you find them. So by the way, you said the big bat. How many times if you're an old school Mets fan or, you know, even at Citi Field after Shea Stadium, how many times have you met someone at that Big Apple? Yeah, I'll meet at the Apple or Dodger Stadium that got that big bobblehead. Meeting someone that was a big one.

[Rich Davis]

I think the popularity of certain things, too, that these kids, they'll know and you could tell them, but they'll never know. They lack an understanding. Like, I'll give you. This is a stupid one. You know, we mentioned Bo Jackson before. Like, you could tell him all day he was the greatest, but they lack understanding because he never really won anything. They don't know. This is dumb. But it's like the character Pac Man. Like, when I was a little kid, Pac man was huge. Huge.

[Olivia Carville]

Turned into a cartoon.

[Rich Davis]

Turned into a cartoon, a cereal lunchbox. Like, Pac man swept the nation for me as a kid, and that was my pocket right Then, of course, you know, Super Mario became a thing and all that, but because Super Mario became a thing, because Sonic became a thing and there were so many other iconic characters since no one really even talks about Pac man and how big he was.

[Steve Cavino]

Camino's a couple years older than me. Pac man, before my time, I never played Pac Man.

[Rich Davis]

I was huge.

[Steve Cavino]

I remember I was a little, I was a little boy and I got Nintendo.

[Rich Davis]

It was huge when I was little.

[Steve Cavino]

But, But I know the legacy.

[Rich Davis]

You know, you bring this up all the time, Rich. How to keep score. Kids will never. Oh, my bad.

[Olivia Carville]

On his list.

[Steve Cavino]

My whole list.

[Olivia Carville]

My bad.

[Steve Cavino]

No, I, I, I wrote that.

[Rich Davis]

Well, I had it written down, too.

[Steve Cavino]

I wrote down bowling score and baseball score. Like, I remember going to the game and I thought it was sort of cool to be like, I'm going to keep baseball score. And we met, we learned just last week, right, that they don't sell programs at most baseball stadiums anymore. The idea of get your program, no one's buying a program. And if you play sports now, if you got kids in Little League or Pony ball, every, there's a mom on the team and she has an app and there's no even, like, keeping score. It's on an app.

[Rich Davis]

You know what kids Lack understanding of. This is great, because I deal with this all the time because my daughter's in high school. And then it'll dawn on them, like, wait, well, wait, dad, how did you do that? And how did you print out a paper? I'm like, well, I would either have my mom type it out at work and then bring it home because she was willing to help me out, or we had something called the word processor. And then you have to explain to them what that is. And they're like, wait, so was it a computer?

[Steve Cavino]

And you're like, well, not really, no.

[Rich Davis]

I don't know.

[Steve Cavino]

I was a typewriter.

[Rich Davis]

Well, it was like a typewriter. I mean, we had a typewriter, too.

[Olivia Carville]

Along those lines. All kids know is texting their friends. Last week, my wife was talking to our teenager because she was telling her, well, you're probably not paying attention in that class. She got her progress report. What are you passing notes with your friends? And she's like, what do you mean, passing notes?

[Steve Cavino]

Passing notes, dude.

[Rich Davis]

Hold on. You know, you brought up something else that's right up in that same category. Because of the communication that's available in today's world, your kid could email the teacher.

[Olivia Carville]

Oh, yeah.

[Rich Davis]

If they don't know the assignment, they.

[Olivia Carville]

See their grades in real time.

[Rich Davis]

They get their grades in real time. Like, if you were a kid, and chances are I wasn't the only bozo. I was like, what's the homework assignment again? You'd have to, like, try to hope your buddy knew what it was or how to do it, because there was no communicating with the teacher.

[Olivia Carville]

The teacher posts notes and homework online on the school website, on the school app.

[Steve Cavino]

We have any. Every day, my daughter's teacher and my son's teacher, they're uploading pictures on class Dojo, and there's all these little parent apps.

[Rich Davis]

Like, do you remember the empty feeling of not knowing, like, what the assignment was or what page or what exactly it was or how to do it? None of that anymore, Rich. They'll never really understand that little struggle we had as kids growing up. You know what else they'll never know? The lost art of waking up early to make sure you got all your Saturday morning cartoons in because they're so spoiled with On Demand everything.

[Steve Cavino]

The lost art of blank. That's where we're going here on a throwback Thursday. Let me hit you with a couple more.

[Rich Davis]

Younger generations just lack an understanding of it.

[Steve Cavino]

I saw a funny meme, and it sort of encapsulates this thought. Back in the day we would wait until 8 or 9pm because your phone plan had free nights and weekends and you'd worry about your rollover minutes. And how many minutes do I have now? No one wants to talk to anyone. Texting was like almost the throw in. And free texting, like no one cared. It was, how many minutes do you have? And then I got to ask, what happened to all of our rollover minutes?

[Rich Davis]

That is so funny, dude. Rollover minutes, another nights and weekends thing.

[Steve Cavino]

Y'all call you back at 9:00.

[Rich Davis]

Or how about this? You know the calling card that we had to have when we traveled? Oh, yeah.

[Steve Cavino]

Remember your parents would if someone called long distance. Long distance.

[Rich Davis]

It really comes down to the lack of understanding that younger generations have today.

[Steve Cavino]

I got another one that everyone in this room did. And if you didn't, then you're just a nerd. How many times did you master the art of calling a girl for your buddy while he was listening in?

[Rich Davis]

Oh, yeah, that was the best because.

[Steve Cavino]

That wouldn't be a thing anymore. But Danny, if Danny's like, remember when.

[Rich Davis]

Ernie and Billy Madison did it?

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, that was the last two people to do it. Ernie and Billy Madison.

[Rich Davis]

Blow it.

[Steve Cavino]

That'll be like if Danny and I were friends as kids. And he's like, yeah, Rich, I really got a crush on Jessica. So I'd be like, hey, Jessica. Yeah, it's Rich.

[Olivia Carville]

Just curious.

[Steve Cavino]

Meanwhile, Danny's listening on the other line. What do you think of Danny G? I think he's sort of cute. So you think he's cute. All right, thanks. Bye. Yo, bro, I mean, how many times did you do that little act?

[Rich Davis]

That's the lost art of being a wingman on the phone. Yeah, that's really what it is. So we go to the phones based on the meme. Throwback Thursday, old school, when 50 hits a lost skill or just anything that the current generation lacks understanding of, no matter how much you tell them.

[Steve Cavino]

You know, you brought up your daughter asking how people communicated. I was recently reminded by a buddy of mine, I went to school in the late 90s, early 2000s, in college, graduated early 2000s. I'm the generation that went to college without a. A cell phone. And by the end of college, we had cell phones. So I think back to like my freshman year, late 90s. If you went to the bar and you wanted to communicate that to your buddy, do you remember writing on people's dry erase boards in their dorm room? Like on your dorm room door, you would have a dry erase board and you'd be like, yo, John, we're gonna be at O'Flanagan's at 9 o'clock. And you just left him a dry erase message.

[Rich Davis]

And if you didn't have that, you'd have to leave a note somehow or else John never knew where you were.

[Steve Cavino]

But did you know what the lost art of? Also, you said pass notes, Danny. It got me thinking of how every day I'd fold up a little note in the shape of a little football, the little triangle. And I would pass my girlfriend, my high school girlfriend, a little note in between third and fourth period, like, hey, babe, love you.

[Rich Davis]

Kids back then had that particular skill, how to fold those little notes. I didn't know how to do.

[Olivia Carville]

Remember when the teacher would intercept one and hold it up and make an example out of the, you know, the two people she found corresponding with each other?

[Rich Davis]

Now you're bringing up sore subjects, Danny G. I had a girl one time, she was like, drawing me pornographic pictures. I swear to God. And she was sent and she was passing them to me and a teacher intercepted one.

[Olivia Carville]

Remember a lot of the teachers would have the rule.

[Rich Davis]

Sanders in the backfield.

[Olivia Carville]

A lot of the teachers had the rule, if I find it, I'm gonna read it out loud. And so we'd get, like, instant entertainment as the teacher would read the cheesy letter that, you know, I have a.

[Steve Cavino]

Gross story that I'm even skept, hesitant to tell.

[Olivia Carville]

Oh, now you got to tell it.

[Steve Cavino]

I have to tell. But before I tell that one, the. The story Camino tells, he's not finishing it. This girl for trying to keep it clean on Fox Sports Radio. Let's just say she was. She drew pictures of a sailor with a huge hat. Anchor. Anchor, yeah. She drew a picture of a sailor with a huge anchor with a huge plank, and she handed it to Covino and the teacher intercepted. And I remember you said your mom was called, like, why some girl sending your son pictures of a. She got a lot of trouble.

[Rich Davis]

I didn't do anything. Yeah, I did nothing at all. But I remember being like, oh, man. But, yeah, people are always passing notes, you know, they had to be crafty about. He had to fold it up real nice.

[Olivia Carville]

They still do that in one place today in prison.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. Passing notes.

[Steve Cavino]

They have like a little fish line.

[Rich Davis]

And Sam knows from experience.

[Olivia Carville]

I do.

[Steve Cavino]

Or from watching lockup. Sam. Jailbird.

[Rich Davis]

Let's go to your phones. 87799 on Fox. Get you involved. We love reminiscing on a Thursday.

[Steve Cavino]

I'll quickly tell the one embarrassing. So it's not me, but I remember, you know, the one teacher there was always the teacher that was so sweet but gullible. And you always felt bad, like, oh, the delinquent guys are being so mean to her.

[Olivia Carville]

You know?

[Steve Cavino]

You know what I'm talking about. There was always like. Like an older, nice lady teacher.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. And usually a substitute.

[Steve Cavino]

And the scummy dudes in your class would always do rude things to her.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Cavino]

You know, old. Old. I'll call her old. Ms. Melville was like, Poor Ms. Melville. If I catch someone with a note, I'm gonna take it and read it aloud. So these guys. This is gross. They intentionally knew they'd get caught. So let's just say someone reached down their pants and pulled out some hair, put it in a note, passed it intentionally. Ms. Melville intercepts it. Okay. She opens the note in front of the class and a bunch of hair falls on her.

[Rich Davis]

So the lost art of being a dirt bag, I guess. Yeah, being a trash bag. The lost art of that. How about the lost art, speaking of school microfiche. Because your kid will ask you, well, if you had to do a book report, well, honey, there was something called microfiche and a card catalog. You had to know how to do these things.

[Steve Cavino]

I'll be honest, looking back, that system stunk.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, it was the worst.

[Olivia Carville]

I had to use that one time in college, and I was like, this is. And I only remember it from, like, Ace Ventura. Remember when he had a.

[Steve Cavino]

He went through all the old Miami Dolphins rosters, like, on microfiche for the birds. That was the only cool use of microfiche in humanity. When Ace Ventura tried to check, track down Finkel.

[Rich Davis]

But, dad, what if you had to look stuff up? Like. Well, we had encyclopedias, I guess, shout out to Funk and Wagnalls in Britannica and Charlie Brown.

[Steve Cavino]

I had Encyclopedia Britannica. Love you.

[Rich Davis]

So, again, the lack of understanding things that this current generation or younger generations just lack understanding of.

[Steve Cavino]

The lost art of blank. Let's start with Trip in Vegas. You're on with Kavino and Rich. What's up, Trip?

[Rich Davis]

Hey, gentlemen.

[Olivia Carville]

Every show's better than the last.

[Steve Cavino]

Oh, thanks, brother.

[Rich Davis]

Let's spread that rumor, man.

[Olivia Carville]

I'm going to rattle off a few. And then I wanted to add one, because when Rich, change the parameters a little bit. So I would say cursive, developing film, reading a map, changing a tire.

[Steve Cavino]

And then the one thing when you're.

[Olivia Carville]

Talking about not a skill, but they missed Black Friday. We used to have to stand in line.

[Steve Cavino]

No Stores were open now.

[Olivia Carville]

Well, everything I made the day before.

[Steve Cavino]

This past Thanksgiving, I made the observation that Cyber Monday, almost bigger now and Black Friday is going to be a thing of the past. It's going to be best known for good football games because the NFL is going to tackle that holiday. Pun intended. But he brought up one that I thought was interesting. Kavino. He said, developing pictures now, they don't.

[Rich Davis]

Even know how to use the camera.

[Steve Cavino]

I'm saying now the idea of like, all right, I'm gonna take a live photo so there's no chance my kid could blink. Not only that, upside down portrait mode. All the little tricks people have back then. As Sebastian Maniscalco. Aren't you embarrassed? Doesn't he do a bit where you'd go to SeaWorld, Sea Orca, Shamu would jump out, your mom would be like, click, hope I got it.

[Rich Davis]

Hope I got it.

[Steve Cavino]

You would just hope you got the pict. You would develop pictures and your mom would bring them home. You'd be like, yeah, I wonder if they came out good. Only like 30% of them were just.

[Olivia Carville]

Blurry or eyes closed, a red eye, all that stuff. Yeah, and we had throwaway cameras. We even had the throwaway cameras that went into the water, remember?

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, Waterproof.

[Olivia Carville]

Those are more expensive. Yeah. You know, a junk drawer in your kitchen or in your house, maybe people would have a drawer with tons of throwaway cameras. Just meaning to get those developed.

[Steve Cavino]

No doubt. Sacktown, one of our favorites. Sean, what's going on, brother?

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah, my flashback fools. Man, y'all always had me cracking up at these, bro.

[Steve Cavino]

Thanks, man.

[Olivia Carville]

First of all, Rich, what a dirty dog you were in elementary school, man. That poor teacher.

[Steve Cavino]

No, that wasn't me. Just for the record, that was not me. I was in that class.

[Rich Davis]

Rich had no hair, so it couldn't have been him. It couldn't have been.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah, Rich was patting a baldy down there real quick.

[Rich Davis]

They used to call them Baldo Ronaldo.

[Olivia Carville]

These kids will never know about the art of Mac. And Covino knows what I'm talking about, man. Telling your homegirl that you have a little crush on her. Homegirl get on the phone, doing three way calls at nighttime, trying to. Trying to. Trying to plant the seed so that you could one day take her out of the date to the movies. These kids have no idea what that's all about. They're too busy streaming.

[Rich Davis]

You know what it is, man? It was the, the game. It was like you had to have game, right? But our game was so different than game today. Because you realize, like, game today revolves around. You have to be. You have to have online games.

[Olivia Carville]

I was just gonna say you have.

[Rich Davis]

To have social media games.

[Olivia Carville]

That's a great point. Because we had teen centers, we had the skating rink, we had the bowling alley. We had to meet up at places with lots of other kids. There was no phone to phone going on. Except Rich, as you mentioned, you know, the long cord on the phone and you try to hide in your room and make. A couple times. Yeah, but most of the time, our parents did not want us busying up the lines, especially when the Internet became a thing. Remember, get off the phone. I'm trying to. I'm trying to dial up to the Internet.

[Steve Cavino]

These are all great examples. You know, I had something happen to me yesterday that was the most refreshing thing based on this conversation. You know, we were home in the afternoon yesterday because we were filling in for dp. All the kids out here in la. Spring break. Long story short, I get a knock on the door. I'm like, what was it? Telemarker? What is it? Someone trying to sell me solar? What's going on? Would you believe this is the cutest thing? My son, there's a kid down the block that's also five years old. He came over with his dad and he's like, yeah, we want to know if Benny wanted to play basketball in the driveway. I was as thrilled as could be.

[Rich Davis]

I'm like, this is 1980 something, dude.

[Steve Cavino]

It felt like it. And it was the coolest feeling because at first I'm like, who's knocking on my door? The neighborhood kid wanted my son to come play basketball.

[Olivia Carville]

Dan Beyer just asked what time it was that they're playing basketball.

[Steve Cavino]

11:00Pm Dan. No, but it was. But it was. It was so refreshing. I was like, yo. I told the dad, I'm like, yo, I love your style. I'm in. You know, I'll walk over. And then I left my son there for a bit. I'm like, dude, you're across the street playing basketball. Be a kid. All right. Want to go rapid fire?

[Rich Davis]

Let's do it. Let's get you involved. It's all you now.

[Steve Cavino]

Let's go, Pete in Iowa.

[Rich Davis]

Hey, Petey.

[Steve Cavino]

Hey, how you guys doing? What's up?

[Rich Davis]

Before I say my one thing I.

[Olivia Carville]

We forgot is a real quick story.

[Steve Cavino]

About my back in 1988.

[Rich Davis]

We went to Laker game.

[Steve Cavino]

I was like 15 years old.

[Olivia Carville]

My mom dropped us off, me and my buddy at the parking lot.

[Rich Davis]

I said, we'll see you in three.

[Olivia Carville]

Hours that don't happen anymore.

[Steve Cavino]

Like, your parents dropping you somewhere. Be like, see you later.

[Olivia Carville]

What's that?

[Rich Davis]

No, no, they just dropped you off.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, they dropped.

[Olivia Carville]

They dropped us off. They will see you in three hours.

[Steve Cavino]

So I had one of those old Can 81 cameras.

[Olivia Carville]

I snuck up the ring courtside, took.

[Steve Cavino]

Great pictures of Kareem doing Skyhooks, Magic.

[Rich Davis]

Doing no look pass, and I accidentally.

[Steve Cavino]

Opened the back door and ruined all my photos.

[Rich Davis]

So that was a horror.

[Steve Cavino]

Shit.

[Rich Davis]

I still think about that today.

[Steve Cavino]

Oh, that's the worst. Thanks for the call, Peter. You had all these great photos ruined.

[Rich Davis]

You know what I think about too, Rich? I don't think anyone's gonna say this, but again, like, my daughter asks me these questions all the time. Like, well, Melody, we used to have to call 41 1. What's that? Well, if I needed the number to, I don't know, the pizzeria to Blockbuster Video, because I wanted to know if they had the. Had a. From Dusk Till dawn on vhs. I'd have to call them.

[Olivia Carville]

Wasn't that answered by a real person, too?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, they'd be like, can I have the number of Blockbuster Video in Union, New Jersey, please? And they would look it up, and you'd call information, and she's, like, blown away by that stuff. And it goes to show you how easy. You know, there's a lot of challenges in today's world, but how easy it is to have everything at your fingertips.

[Steve Cavino]

Just a new set of challenges. Jeff in New York State, Covino and Rich. What's up, man?

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah, I was calling. I remember playing fantasy football pre Internet.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, my God.

[Steve Cavino]

How many calculations did you have to do, right? Break out the calculator, Jeff.

[Olivia Carville]

Chris in the fax machines.

[Steve Cavino]

Oh, my God. Yeah. You want to know who won the next day? I was saying just recently in New York, Danny G. The late baseball games. It would just say late game. I wouldn't know. Like, you would have to.

[Olivia Carville]

That's insane.

[Steve Cavino]

You would have to wait, like, oh, the Dodgers, who won last night? Late game, it would say. They're in the Daily News. All right, Chris in Nevada.

[Olivia Carville]

All right, y'all got me going way, way back. But what about Bammer? Y'all remember that Bammer?

[Steve Cavino]

What Bammer? I feel like he's a punchline.

[Olivia Carville]

Y'all know about Bammer Weed? I know I should. I don't know.

[Rich Davis]

I said a Deez Nuts joke.

[Steve Cavino]

I feel like I was being set up.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah. I felt like something was coming, right?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, exactly.

[Steve Cavino]

I. I guess I felt the Setup. So if not, Chris, I'm sorry you felt like a trickster. All right, Arizona, wrap it up. Chris.

[Rich Davis]

What up, Az?

[Olivia Carville]

Hey, how's it going, guys? Thanks for taking the phone call.

[Steve Cavino]

No problem.

[Olivia Carville]

So I got two of them. First one is be kind, Rewind. They'll never know the pain of having to rewind your tape. And then number two is MapQuest. I don't know how we got through those 15 pages just to get an hour and a half upstate.

[Rich Davis]

Or how about just using a map, period? I don't know how I did.

[Olivia Carville]

Growing up, if you handed a kid nowadays a map, they would be so confused.

[Rich Davis]

Looking back, I'm amazed I survived that era because I'm like, how did I get anywhere?

[Steve Cavino]

What did he say? Be kind, Rewind. That. That was, that was the. That was one of those indicators. Like, you know how they say, like, are you the type of person that returns your shopping cart? Otherwise, you're an A hole. If you return your Blockbuster Video without rewinding it. No, you'd get charged a little.

[Olivia Carville]

Fine.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, but it's like a dollar fifty was. But I feel like that was a reflection of, like, what type of person are you, Rich?

[Rich Davis]

What are you going to do when you're. When your son Benny says, well, dad, how did you watch smut? Well, dad was explaining them like scrambled smut. Or are you gonna tell them about, like, sneaking in to find your dad?

[Steve Cavino]

I'd have to say, ben, when I was your age, I didn't have all this free Internet porn teenage son. What I did was I took my dad, I found my dad smut, and made sure to rewind it to the exact spot he left off.

[Rich Davis]

See, now that's the lost art that they'll never really understand.

[Steve Cavino]

And I, you know, and know what I had to do, son? I had to put Sports Illustrated covers on club magazines.

[Rich Davis]

Yep, yep. Just to keep away from Mom.

[Steve Cavino]

Exactly.

[Rich Davis]

They'll never know the struggle and the lost art of doing all of these things and the rest of your answers. And thanks for playing along at home at Covino. And Rich, if we didn't get to your call, hit us up at Covino.

[Olivia Carville]

Someone was posting photos.

[Steve Cavino]

It was just me.

[Olivia Carville]

Naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body parts.

[Steve Cavino]

That looked exactly like my own.

[Margie Murphy]

I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting the series took us through the darkest corners of the Internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deepfake pornography. This should be illegal, but what is this? This is a story about a technology that's moving faster than the law and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide. I'm Margie Murphy. And I'm Olivia Carville. This is Levittown, a new podcast from iHeart podcasts Bloomberg and Kaleidoscope. Listen to Levittown on Bloomberg's Big Take podcast. Find it on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Rich Davis]

Now you can't remember anything. Cause you're so dependent, so reliant on technology to remember everything for you. That's why we challenge you to use your brain every once in a while. Because it's so easy to just Google something.

[Steve Cavino]

I'll give you one that you could argue is still around to wrap this up.

[Rich Davis]

The ones knows anyone else's phone number anymore or how to get anywhere because you're so reliant on your phone.

[Steve Cavino]

I remember you and I sort of debated this. Maybe in the last five years, you had run out of business cards and you were like, should I order new ones? I'm like, I don't even know who. Maybe professionally. But now with, like, apps where you could tap phones and get the info, like, the idea of someone being like, here's my business card. Is that old school? Like, is that sort of, like, very outdated?

[Olivia Carville]

I have one more. And Mark, he hit us up on Twitter, was thinking along the same lines as me. I wrote down personal finances because everything is, you know, once these kids get a checking account, like, my son is 18 and he finally got his first bank account and everything. Imagine him having to learn how to write a check or how to balance a checkbook.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah.

[Olivia Carville]

Oh, my God, you kidding me? He barely can use his ATM card. He just passed.

[Rich Davis]

That's such a great one. Balancing your checkbook. Yeah, right? Kids today would have a complete lack of understanding and knowledge on how to do something like that.

[Steve Cavino]

All so much.

[Rich Davis]

My daughter didn't know how to use money the other day. She needed.

[Olivia Carville]

That's what I'm saying. They're used to the parents giving them zells, like, hey, dad, just give them.

[Rich Davis]

The cash and they'll give you the change. Well, how does that work? I'm like, what?

[Olivia Carville]

Or like, you want to get a dollar back?

[Steve Cavino]

Like, and so you give someone like.

[Olivia Carville]

A $5 and 10 cents, and if it's 4 bucks, you get the dol. And they're so confused.

[Rich Davis]

They have a lack of understanding of a lot. And again, your answer's at Covino and Rich. We throw it back every Thursday. Right now, we're live from the Tyrack.com studio.

[Steve Cavino]

Be sure to check out the YouTube channel. In fact, our bonus podcast Over Promise, which starts at about 20 minutes, that streams live on the YouTube channel. You can see what we're doing. And a bunch of great clips from not only our show, the whole network, Fox Sports Radio. And to sort of wrap that before we get into the NBA. Lot of great feedback when we go old school. Danny. I talked about it the other day when we filled in for dp. My daughter went with her friend for hello Kitty night at Dodger Stadium, and she came home with a Dodgers hat. And I was, like, sort of angry about this.

[Olivia Carville]

I love those people that took her to the game.

[Rich Davis]

Good work.

[Steve Cavino]

Not my mom. My wife. My wife was like, you do call.

[Rich Davis]

Her mama once in a while.

[Steve Cavino]

No, my wife does. My wife forgets sometimes. And she'll call me dad and daddy, like, in public. I'm like, you know, the kids aren't here.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, because she's so used to referring.

[Steve Cavino]

To like, yeah, hey, daddy. Yes. So my wife, big daddy. My wife says this to me, and I looked at her like. I'm like, are we in a time machine? Was this 1998? She goes, Should I send Emmy to the game with, like, some cash? Give her like 40 bucks or 20 bucks. I'm like, no, just send her the game. I'll text the parents if you want anything. We'll zelle you or venmo you or something. She's like, so give her no cash. I'm like, babe, I don't even know if Dodger Stadium takes cash. That's like. I mean, do you operate in cash at a stadium even anymore? You tap your card, you tap your phone. We live in a different world. Yeah, I don't blame your daughter.

[Olivia Carville]

Used to have to pin $5 onto our shirt for a field trip right now.

[Rich Davis]

We'll talk a little NBA before Dan Byers update. But some good games yesterday. Props to the Heat. Heat over the Bulls, Mavericks over the Kings. Gotta wait again. What? Friday, right? Continues on Friday.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, the final playing games. But I think the eyes are all on Saturday. And did you see Anthony Edwards, he was. He was pretty vocal.

[Olivia Carville]

Danny G saying, oh, he talks a lot.

[Steve Cavino]

He goes like, listen, I know that no one wants us to win. No one wants the T Wolves to win. No one wants us to advance. He's cool with that, and he's cool with it. And, you know, some people like playing.

[Olivia Carville]

The role of spoilers, embracing it.

[Steve Cavino]

Underdog. But. But that's. That's a Saturday matchup. I think Saturday, the Western Conference to me is so compelling. It's the matchups. You know, when the NFC and the AFC playoff pictures are coming together in football and you're like, oh, man, if this team wins the tiebreaker, we get better matchups. I do think by the Golden State warriors losing that last game and having to do the play in, I really do think it gave us cooler matchups. I love Kawhi and that Clippers team playing the Denver Nuggets in the first round. I like the T Wolves and Lakers playing. And I sort of like the warriors having to go to Houston, which on paper is a better team. But playoff Jimmy and Steph in the playoffs, like, I think the matchups are so good.

[Rich Davis]

I love in the Western Conference, Jimmy Butler's attitude. I mean, again, he's playoff Jimmy, so this is when he steps it up. But I love that he gives Steph the credit he deserves. And that's why it works. He's like, I'll be his Robin to his Batman all the time. Time. Like, it's cool to see their camaraderie and the respect he has for Steph Curry because they're going to be tough to deal with. They have such a chance with both of those guys playing.

[Steve Cavino]

Well, I think the Western Conference has. Has not only unraveled and unfolded the way we want as fans, but the NBA as far as ratings go, honestly, the fact that you got the Clippers, who played great this year, the fact that the Clippers are going to Denver, I guess the T Wolves, Lakers, Warriors, Rockets, and then the one throwaway series, we'll probably get to see Oklahoma City dominate round one against whoever.

[Olivia Carville]

And how about AD Last night, though? And Klay Thompson found the fountain of youth.

[Steve Cavino]

You know what, Danny? You could argue that if AD And Clay and that team gets it together.

[Olivia Carville]

Oh, if Kyrie hadn't got hurt.

[Rich Davis]

AD Was in the zone. Everything about him was in the zone. Body language, the way he played.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah, we talked about attitude first time suiting up for the Mavs. I mean, it was only two and a half quarters, but he was locked and loaded, man. And the Way he played with Kyrie was pretty amazing. So they would have definitely been a threat in the west had Kyrie not gone down with that injury.

[Rich Davis]

Well, the big story today is, you know, we started off with Aaron Rodgers. There's two big stories in the news and that's Aaron Rodgers and as Dame Lillard. And he's been cleared of the deep vein thrombosis in his right calf. They announced that today. So he's practicing today. He's out for the game on Saturday, but it looks like he'll be ready moving forward after that, which is kind of cool.

[Steve Cavino]

Vein thrombosis sounds like something you get when you see a good looking girl piss.

[Rich Davis]

Vein thrombo. Deep vein thrombosis.

[Steve Cavino]

Man, take your eyes off of her. I'm getting some vein thribosis.

[Rich Davis]

So that's. Talk about perfect timing though, and when it counts and when it matters. That's big, big news in the NBA.

[Steve Cavino]

Well, for more updates let's go to our buddy Dan Byer. Dan, the Dame. The Dame news is pretty big for the Eastern conferen.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah, yeah, interesting. Cause I do think that the Bucks, not that they're better without Damian Lillard. I think that there's a different chemistry at hand. Yes, yes. And for the long run it'd be better to have him. But they got to get past this Pacer series first. We'll see how it works out. As giving us said, it's game one on Saturday and it's the first game of the playoffs. Tipping off 1:00 Eastern Time. Couple of other notes from the NBA Grizzly's guard John Morant. Game time decision for tomorrow. And the Kings are hiring former Knicks GM Scott Perry as their new general manager. Day baseball. This is what happened in the ninth in Cincinnati. Here's the stretch by Pagan and the.

[Rich Davis]

Pitch on the way.

[Steve Cavino]

Swinging a well hit ball deep to left field down the line.

[Rich Davis]

It is gone.

[Olivia Carville]

Goodbye baseball. Randy Arozarena with a line shot.

[Steve Cavino]

Home run.

[Olivia Carville]

We are tied at seven back to back homers on the Mariners radio network and then Seattle would add four in the 10th. They topped the Reds today 11 to 7. How about this in Pittsburgh?

[Rich Davis]

Here's the 1. Swing the deep fly ball to right.

[Olivia Carville]

He's hit another one. Oh, look out. Home run.

[Rich Davis]

He's getting mad. He's getting nasty.

[Steve Cavino]

O'Neill Cruz with another home run.

[Olivia Carville]

Yeah, that was the only run of the game. They topped the Nationals one nothing in that lead off home run in the first inning. Pirates radio network There a sweep. The White Sox winning today, 8 nothing. Thomas backs over the Marlins 6 4. Phillies just beat the Giants by a score of 6 to 4. Justin Thomas leads the RBC Heritage at 10 under Florida State University postponing all home sporting events through Sunday following the on campus shooting today that left two dead and six others wounded in Tallahassee. Free age of quarterback Garrett Rogers told the Pat McAfee show he hasn't made a decision on whether to play in 2025. And finally, guys, longtime college football TV personality and former coach Lee Corso will be making his final college game day appearance on ESPN on August 30th. We know they're competitors, but mad respect to Lee Corso.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, no doubt.

[Olivia Carville]

Thank you, guys.

[Rich Davis]

Thank you.

[Steve Cavino]

And by the way, that Mariners at Cincinnati game you started with, not only did a Rosa reign, you hit that home run in the 10th inning, he had a double which scored two runs and moved the runner over to third.

[Rich Davis]

Returning back to World Baseball Classic Rosarena because people miss that. Rosarena.

[Olivia Carville]

They're up five, three, blew the lead in the bottom of the eighth, tied it in the top of the ninth and then went in the 10th and did what?

[Steve Cavino]

Rich, that's a good game. Thank you. Dan Byer. Good seeing you, buddy.

[Olivia Carville]

You too, fellas.

[Steve Cavino]

All right, listen, we got more Kavin on Rich next. And there is the most preposterous story. This is so up our stupid alley, it's unbelievable. Former football coach, he's passed away since Mike Leach had the craziest idea allegedly on fourth and short scenarios in college football. So think about this. Fourth and short, not the tush push.

[Rich Davis]

Fourth and really short.

[Steve Cavino]

Actually an amazing idea that I think should still be on the table. We'll explain next right here on FOX Sports Radio.

Something happened at Barstool.

[Steve Cavino]

A wild, wild story.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, really wild story. And friendly wagers. We'll talk about it on over promised episode 88 on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page and wherever you stream your podcast.

[Steve Cavino]

In 10 minutes live from the Tyrek.com studio. And just a reminder, Covino and Rich here get ready for the next hilarious PayPal campaign with Will Ferrell singing his rendition of Fleetwood Max. Go your own way.

[Rich Davis]

Wait for it. How's it gonna top?

[Steve Cavino]

It's in a bathtub.

[Rich Davis]

I wanna pay with you everywhere.

[Steve Cavino]

It's in a bathtub. So check out the teaser that drops today in the commercial on Saturday during the basketball games this weekend.

[Rich Davis]

I love it.

[Steve Cavino]

All right, now there's a story out of the football world. Mike Leach, sort of a wild head coach back in the day in college football.

[Rich Davis]

Big personality type of guy.

[Steve Cavino]

Washington State, Mississippi State. He was a bit of a wild.

[Rich Davis]

Guy, eccentric, third most winning. Is it winningest? Third most winningest coach in Mississippi State.

[Olivia Carville]

Most people know him for Washington State and Texas Tech.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah, and there's a, there's a story, Danny G. That this is, this is a legend. Barstool published it as well.

[Olivia Carville]

The legend of this first was told in 2023. But NFL Reddit and Barstool picked this up again yesterday.

[Steve Cavino]

Mike Leach allegedly once had to be talked out of putting a little person in the backfield and throwing them over the line of scrimmage during short yardage situations. Why would someone not go back to this brilliant idea?

[Olivia Carville]

You get a little guy and this sounds like the most Mike Leach thing ever, by the way.

[Rich Davis]

Can you just honestly visualize and imagine that for a minute? Like how wild that would actually be? So ridiculous to think about.

[Steve Cavino]

Forget the tush push dwarfing goal. But I mean, fourth and goal.

[Rich Davis]

Speaking of, there was a three foot seven professional baseball player. Chicago native Eddie is Eddie Gadle, who had 3, 7 and 65 pounds is the smallest man to ever play a major publicity stunt.

[Steve Cavino]

And I think it was to try to draw walking.

[Rich Davis]

But it is a real story. I think it was. Was it the Browns or something?

[Steve Cavino]

What year was it?

[Rich Davis]

It was 1951.

[Steve Cavino]

Yeah. I wasn't around to witness this.

[Rich Davis]

No. But it's a true story. And you've heard the legend.

[Olivia Carville]

I'm sure we've all seen that picture of the little guy at the plate.

[Steve Cavino]

But, I mean, you could say political correctness. I mean, little people are there. We don't call them certain words anymore because we've evolved and we're kind. But you could still say dwarf, because that's, you know, seven dwarfs. Dwarfism is a thing. But little people. If there was a little guy. Listen, Dinklage, one of the greatest actors out there right now, you're telling me if there was a little guy that would be down for this? Some ripped little guy that just happened to be born with dwarfism. And he said, I'm in. And they said, all right. On fourth and short situations, we're gonna have, like, DK Metcalf pick you up and toss you two yards.

[Olivia Carville]

Come on.

[Rich Davis]

How do you do it? I mean, I'm not even trying to make fun of this. I'm really trying to visualize it. Do you do it, like, from between the legs, like. Or do you. How do you do it over the head?

[Steve Cavino]

Like an underhand basketball shot?

[Rich Davis]

Like a soccer. Like a soccer ball? Like inbound.

[Steve Cavino]

Like an inbound. No, I would say like an underhand basketball shot.

[Olivia Carville]

Like when you lift. Like when you lift Rich up in the studio to change the light bulb.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, just like that. Oh.

[Olivia Carville]

But then what if there's, like, a Levar Arrington who just comes. Jumps in the. Into the air and, like, smacks him out of the air.

[Rich Davis]

By the way, we're not laughing at the little person in the story. We're laughing at the idea.

[Olivia Carville]

From Mike?

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, from Mike. Let's be very clear on that, too. That's what's wild about it. Like, the fact that this is actually thrown around or maybe even joked about, but it's LinkedIn.

[Steve Cavino]

But don't act. Don't act like little people. You know, they get aggravated by this or they lean into it. Remember the Man Show? And there's bachelor parties that hire little people. We had. We used to have a friend, no joke. A guy named Chuck Love. Rest in peace.

[Rich Davis]

He was great.

[Steve Cavino]

He would. Had a company hire little people.com for bachelor parties and events. So I don't think this is as crazy as you think. I mean, imagine that. Take a little guy just two yards. First down, first down. Come on. You know, tush push. Forget that I'm about the fourth and dwarf.

[Rich Davis]

Hey man, if Altuve is in the big leagues, anything's possible.

[Steve Cavino]

That's true. I will see you guys tomorrow. Ariba da chi baby.

[Rich Davis]

See you in the over promised promised land. Let's go.

[Olivia Carville]

I don't know if Ralphie will let you pet him.

[Olivia Carville]

Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts.
