But right now here on the show Fox Sports Radio,
we be rocking out.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Oh, yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
And we'd be going old school because today the iPhone
turns eighteen. It was eighteen years ago today Steve Jobs
and his turtleneck got up there and he introduced the
world to what he called the future, the iPhone, Nerdleneck.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
And you know, I stand by what I said.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
I can't think of an invention in our lifetime that
was more impactful than the iPhone.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
I said, the Internet as a whole.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
That's that's a broad thing to call an invention, right,
But think, honestly, you.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Give way too much credit for the iPhone. You could
say smartphone changed our life. I don't find that much
of a difference.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
I have an iPhone, but this is only my second
iPhone I ever had.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
This is the second iPhone I ever had. I only
got it because a girlfriend made me do it. Here's
what I will tell you if you just so happen
to enter the dating world. Unfortunately, that's what happened to me.
I was judge for having the Android.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
I really was.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Green text messages. Yeah, no, booty, I was just so
I made the adjustment I did.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
I'm like, well, I guess I'm getting an iPhone if
it's gonna get in my way.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
The Android was essentially a c block. So I'm there's.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
One guy in every group chat, your fantasy football buddies.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Your pals from college.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
So there's one dope that messes up the group chat
with his green text messages and his pictures and videos
that ruin it all.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
In this same breath, I will say, I do love
my iPhone, right, but I didn't hate my Android either.
But today's the anniversary, so let's focus on the celebration.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Of the iPhone and paved the way for the other phones.
It's a great phone. But in the same breath, are
there other things you could say changed our life? You
can't say to that level, but along the same lines,
because I have my answer. Okay, for me, I was
born with a lot of gifts, some I can't even

(02:58):
talk about here on Fox Sports readio.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
I think I know what's coming.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
I don't know if you if you do, I was
born with a lot of great attributes. Rich, ask my mom,
she'll tell you all about them. But when God made me,
when the Wizard created me, he didn't install a GPS.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
I knew it.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Really, Yeah, Rich was born without a brain. He's like
the scarecrow of the show. Yeah, they forgot to give
me a GPS. Yo, Can I tell you? You know
till this day? Yeah, I'll walk around in a circle
and like where am I going? I'm I'm not even
exaggerating when I say this, but it's such a local

(03:35):
it's such a local reference that it would make sense.
But right now Cavino doesn't even know what direction like
downtown La is Like I don't know, like what fires
are affecting me because I'm like, hey, it doesn't register
in my brain. Were we were doing our show a
decade ago, we did a TV show on s N
Y before ESPN. We broadcasted in New York City. We
played a game one day and mocked his lack of

(03:58):
directional knowledge, hold up a map of New Jersey and said,
where is Union your hometown?

Speaker 1 (04:06):
He was so far off.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
It is not surprising, you know. I knew it was
somewhere in the middle North. It's just it's not surprising
because I really have no internal GPS. So when the
invention of GPS became a thing, and would we have
like our Tom Tom GPS, Cavino save so much ink
from printing out map quest directions. Yeah, oh, I was
that guy and what was there was another one? I

(04:29):
feel like it started with a g Oh yeah, there
was another brand of GPS that was the thing at
one point, because remember they didn't gar Tom Tom and Garman.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Now we have him in our car, car play whatever.
We connected to our phone to the car bluetooth. Without
that man, I don't know how I would navigate. The
World's such a smaller place. We've explored so many different
restaurants and areas and things. As a result, I can
go in any city, anywhere and and around. It really
just changed my life tremendously, I would say for me

(05:04):
personally more than any You know, my grandmother who passed
away a couple years back, she was in her nineties.
When she was still you know, still with it in
her early nineties, I you know, you start picking the
brain of the older people in your.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Life, like Grandma, tell me about the depression.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
You know you said, Grandma, I remember asking her what
today fascinates you the most? You lived from the nineteen
twenty she passed away a couple of years ago, lived
to ninety six years old. Say Grandma, what impressed you
the most over your almost one hundred ears on this planet?
Did she say, your hair plugs and how real they looked?

(05:41):
How dave come such a long way? How dare you
insinuate that this is not real? No, my grandmother said,
she finds it fascinating. How I could put a location
in my phone and it tells me the minute I'll
get there.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
She's like, I just insane.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
I can't comprehend like you put like we're in Queen's
And she's like, put it in address in Florida and
it'll tell you, you know, so many hours, so many minutes,
and you'll be in Fort Lutterdale, Like how how incredible?

Speaker 4 (06:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
I didn't explain the satellites to her. Yeah, no, exactly.
You know kids do when you have kids, and when
CoA gets older. I mean you got your teenage sons too.
They can't wrap their heads around how you got around, Like, well,
how did you know where this person lived?

Speaker 1 (06:23):
How did you know to get there? Wait?

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Well, how did you get to different places in other towns?
Like word of mouth? You ask people, you recognize landmarks,
you use the map.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
We know we were little kids, there was the Thomas Guide.
I tried explaining that to the teens that we have
in They're like, a what a book? It's insane.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
So I would say GPS is a closed second man.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
No, it's right up there. It was on my list
in hand in hand. It goes with car play, because Rich,
we've talked about this before. You've had a car that
didn't have car play, and then once you have it
in your car and everything's touchscreen, you're like, how did
I live without?

Speaker 1 (07:00):
This is true.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Once your phone is integrated with your car, there's no
reason to ever be holding your phone being distracted on
the road. Your satellite radio, your podcast, your local radio,
there's no reason for any distraction. So I think car
plays up there. But our buddy might hit us up.
Who listens in Cincinnati?

Speaker 1 (07:19):
What's up, Mike?

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Hey Mike, He says, Cincinnati. No, he doesn't run this place.
Different guy.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
He said.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
It's not an invention as much as just how big
screen TVs. And I know Covino loves to correct me.
They're just monitors. But you used to pay thousands and
thousands of dollars for like a big screen TV that
weighed a ton, and now you could go to Walmart
and get a sixty seventy inch TV for two hundred bucks.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
I know, I'm thinking I need one over one hundred inches. Now,
that's what I'm thinking.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
I mean you might need I mean right, it would
cost less than what you paid in the two thousands.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
For real, I paid. This is a true story. I
swear to got when those projection TVs became a thing.
That's around the time I bought my first house and
I really wanted this sleek maxim like Bachelor Pad. I
paid about six plus thousand dollars for a projection TV
back then, and it wasn't even that big. It was
just big compared to other ones that were available. I

(08:15):
can't imagine doing that grosser.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
I would never do that.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Do you think you're a big TV guy now trying
to take over? Interesting that might be if I paid
six thousand. I remember my mom like split it with me.
Samki was my first home. Six thousand to me back
then might as well have been one hundred thousand dollars
my life. I see where you're going. He wants to be.
He wants Steve's big TV game.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
We need TV game. Try to do it. Yeah, I
say what you're trying to do.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Let's go to your phone calls on the anniversary of
the iPhone before you get into some NFL. When coaching Lauren,
iPhone snob. Though, I'm trying to tone you down, I
am I sound like a big snob. Mike, who runs
his place, came in and said, it's not quite fifty
to fifty, but here in the States it's forty five
fifty five. Forty five percent of people still have an Android.
So you might not want to sound like a snob

(09:02):
when forty five percent of your audience are those guys
that have it. If someone doesn't like me because I
make fun of their phone, then but you think you're better.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Rich is the type of guy that that backs into
his parking spot and thinks he's better than you.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Wrong with that. I hate those people.

Speaker 5 (09:16):
This show is two producers and you're making big mic.
Do your research on the Android. Come on, guys, Oh,
we looked it up dB. The exact numbers fifty six
point sixty three.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Well that's how many people have the iPhone for Apple.
Yeah wow, I.

Speaker 6 (09:30):
Can tell you though, who at FSR producer's talent whatever
has a non iPhone?

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Jason Stewart. Yeah, just look for the people that need
a raise.

Speaker 6 (09:40):
Chris Purfett not an iPhone, Brian no Android, Wow, I
think that's it. Anybody I'm missing here? I think those
are the three. I think that's it. So we're a
majority iPhone company.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
It says a lot about Andy Furman's and snail mail.
Andy has an iPhone, though, I can tell you that.
But you know what, guys, I feel negative too.

Speaker 6 (10:02):
I don't like to did you hear about like the
serie function, like spying on people and like we're not
really surprised by that, but Apple having to pay out
like ninety five million, which is like a penny to them,
But it's like, you know, that ain't cool.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
But otherwise I love my iPhone. Yeah, let's let's go
to your feedback.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Let's start with John in Virginia, which in which inventions
based on this have changed our lives the most. Honestly,
I'd be shocked to hear someone give me an answer
that rivals the iPhone and navigation, which, by the way,
you could say is sort of combined.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Now, right, what's up John?

Speaker 7 (10:31):
Hey?

Speaker 8 (10:31):
How you guys doing love show?

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Thanks man?

Speaker 8 (10:34):
It gets a kitchen gadget, but the airfire.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
You know, it's become a rage. People love talking about
their airfire. I have one, and I'm like, am I
missing the rage on this? You're not much of a cook,
I know, but I still you know, I mean, my
girlfriend is we use it. But I'm not saying your
answer is wrong. I'm saying I'm saying you're right. I
just don't get it.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Right. That became a thing. Use ours a lot, do you?
I mean, you use it? But isn't that great? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (11:03):
Well you don't want your your snotty nosed kids using
the oven. So our kids use the airfrer all the time.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
You know what you you don't some of nothing you
don't realize. But some toast rovens are air friers, like
you know my place, My toaster oven is an air fier.
It's not just a toast oven. So it does like
I know you're saying the airfra like look as you
can pull out like a coffee machine. My toaster oven
is an airfrireer. Okay, let's go to Josh in Ohio.
What's up, Josh, Hey, Josh.

Speaker 9 (11:31):
Hey, what's up?

Speaker 10 (11:32):
Guys?

Speaker 8 (11:33):
Thanks for keeping nostalgia alive. Thursdays are a great start
of my weekend.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Thanks man.

Speaker 8 (11:37):
So my uh mine actually preceded the iPhone and it
allowed me to take my CD collection of three big
case logic binders and put in my pocket in college
iPad iPod.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
The iPod was a game changer. But now it's just
in your phone, right, But the iPod was huge. And
I remember when I first met Keveno.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Just to show you I've I've said, we've taken this
friendship and show from the time we were in our
twenties to forties. When I first met Cavino the two thousands,
he would walk through New York City with a discman.
I remember Cavino would pull up to work, take off
his headphones, and he would throw his disc man on
his desk.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
That's how we used to operate. It did change the game.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
And by the way that discman, I'd run through batteries
like crazy, hitting the megaboost and the anti skip anti ski.
After Yeah, after one album changed, I had to rechange
my batteries.

Speaker 5 (12:31):
I still think I have some sort of degenerative hip
issue because of how I kept my leg with the
disc changer on it while driving in my car so
it would balance because if you kept it on the seat,
it would skip if you hit bumps.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
But if you rested it on your leg.

Speaker 5 (12:48):
There would be a way where you could keep it
and then it wouldn't skip when you played it.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
I remember the first time I saw someone with an
MP three player, and if you guys are radio nerds,
you may remember the name was a host and friend
of mine named Will Pindarvis. Willpindarvis was walking around and
he's like, yeah, so it stores MP threes. This is
before I think an iPod. Yeah, and it was called

(13:13):
a nomad and it stored MP threes and I'm like,
what what is that? And again change the game. But
again we have it on our phone now, you know.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
I'll throw one into the mix talking about technology and
things that changed our life in the last twenty thirty
forty years.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
However, long changed our lives to most. I think back
to my childhood. If you went.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Out for a school events or some kids birthday party,
your parents would have to set the VCR to tape things,
and it hardly ever worked the way you wanted to.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
If you missed a play in a game.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Hey, you missed it, you might see it on Warner
Wolf's Plays of the Night DVR. And the ability to pause, rewind,
fast forward everything on television on streaming services changed everything.
The idea of you know, you were watching Saturday morning cartoons,
You better go eat some of your cereal and go
to the bathroom before the commercial comes back and Smurfs

(14:09):
is on again.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
If you missed it, you missed it. You missed it.
You missed it. That was it. If the show started it,
If Growing Pain you brought.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Up sports highlights. If it was a show you liked
and you missed it, then you just missed it.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Good luck. Maybe you'll get a replay or something, but
you missed it. Think about it.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
If Growing Pains was on at eight o'clock or Alpha,
I don't know. You know, mister Melvindere, if you showed
up at eight oh five, now you just missed the
first five minutes, and you hope that you really didn't
miss anything.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
More than another one. You have to explain to the kids, like, yeah,
you just missed it. Really they think you grew up
in like the ancient times.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Tad with things black and white. My man, the nineteen
hundreds were rough.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
That has been thinking how technology has advanced studio shows
like we all love Red Zone, Well, Rich is too
hyper for it. It's over. It's overkilled for rich he
paces during football already. Yes, but think about the way
you know football, baseball, basketball, how it's all covered with
the cameras, in the graphics and the TV studios, The

(15:06):
way that technology has advanced. We talked about it earlier
in the show in the eighties when it was showtime. Lakers,
if they showed the clock, it would always be shaking
because they.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Put a camera up, they put on the stadium clock,
stadium clock, if the arena was shaking at all.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah, you remember that, I remember that visual, Danny, g
you just unlocked a memory.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
Yeah, Lakers Celtics, if they showed the clock was shaking,
if they showed the.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Time, the shot clock, anything you would they'd be doing,
they'd be taking. It wouldn't be a graphic. They'd be
doing a video camera shaking of the arena.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
That's actually a great visual, man. Yeah, I think everybody
could picture exactly what you're describing right now. And I
don't know what you would call this, but you made
me think of it, Danny. It's along the same lines.
But one of my fears, or one.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Of the sticks, one of my heights, the dark.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Reservations may be about moving to other cities and wondering
if I could. I never wanted to miss the local
feel of following my local sports teams, and just with
the invention of apps and things like that and the
ability to have your teams and packages and be able

(16:15):
to watch them in any city, really change that mindset
for me and made the world a smaller place. So
it really it may be a silly answer to some,
but it's a real answer to me.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
That would change my life a lot. Like the fact
that I get to watch the Yankees but live in
LA and you could live anywhere and still watch what
you watch and have that local feel.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
That's a game changer for me. You're talking to the audience.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
You're talking to the audience that would appreciate that sentiment
the most because we're talking to sports fans. So I
think back as a Niners fan living on the East Coast.
My dad loved Montana. That's how I became a Niners fan.
I was able to stay up late on a Monday
night if the Niners happen to be playing Monday night football,
or if they were playing a game, we're able to
watch them.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
They happen to televise, But.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
As a radio host They would always say, you have
to you know, start and get your chops in another city,
and I would think to myself, I don't want to
move to another city.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
And I can't watch the Yankees.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
That was your biggest set was what I didn't care about,
you know, missing friends and family. I can't watch my
this and that, I mean absolutely can now game changer.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
What's up? Inventions that change your life?

Speaker 6 (17:21):
The most three advancements in automotive technology blind spot assist,
automatic breaking, and lane assist. Those are incredible. Those are
saving lives. Blind spotists assists especially for elderly drivers. They
can't turn to check their blind spot because they don't
like they're just you know, frail or like, you know,
not flexible. So the blind spot of SPIST is a

(17:41):
huge help. The automatic breaking though, like you know, you'll
be on any LA highways and slow traffic slows down immediately.
A lot of people they don't gauge that's slowing down
that fast. When your car has automatic braking, it's literally
saving you from a collision. And like it's amazing. Those
three I think are game changers in the automotive world.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
I thought heads up displaying that conversation I had it.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
I don't love it. I loved it.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
I need it because I'm so distracted. It's what projects
like your GPS and all your on your wind settings
on your windshield.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
I have that on my car. That would have put
that anywhere close to the other way. I know you
don't like it.

Speaker 11 (18:15):
I do.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
I need it.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
I would, I wouldn't compromise on it. The two that
I was. Sam brought up that one. You said, I'm
going to add to it the blind spot assist.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
That's what I was trying to do, Rich, but you
dismissed it. I was trying to add the SAMs.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
You just wasn't good though.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Okay, yeah, but for me it was assist dismissed. But
wasn't you know John Rich has Rich has the number
one answer, you know, John Stockton, I'm John Stockton. With
the assists. You're look at these short chorts.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
You put the ass an assist, bro go ahead.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
I was Sam said that lane assist, the lane change,
the blind spot. I don't rely on it solely, which
no one should. But when you're on the highway and
you put your right turn siglaon or anyone's even in
your blind spot, the fact that your side view mirrors
a light goes on.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yes, you're right.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
How many little fenderbanders and unfortunately bad collisions does that
prevent lane changing? The technologies unbelievable and the lazy one
for me, and it's purely lazy. When I back out
of my driveway, the fact that it shows where my
tires are going to go, like the backup backup camera
is a backup camera if you're coming out of like
your curves curved drive So Sam, well, well come on

(19:21):
though for for and I know you're joking, but for
parallel parking and for backing out, it's like you don't
even you don't even use your rear.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
I mean you still do, but you should use river
are not for me though.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
It also helps all the jerks who think they need
to back into every single parking space.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
There's nothing wrong with that, nothing at all wrong with that. Yeah,
we've seen an increase in people that think they're better than.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Us and it makes easier to get out. Yet women
still yet, yet, women still scrape rims. Kidding, what's not
damn bier? Did anybody say ring the ring for the
dude crep? No, that's a good one. Who doesn't have
one now, ye, yeah, some version of it. Wasn't that
a shark tank? Yeah? Invention? I believe it was right.

(20:02):
It was. So can I throw scrub Daddy in that conversation?
And I throw the snuggie? I want to throw bombas
socks into this guy.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
I have one that makes ring possible. Wi Fi and Bluetooth.

Speaker 6 (20:16):
Yeah, I was taking wires away.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
Yeah, making things mobile, the like the headphones we have
for in studio still have chords. My kids think I'm
crazy when they see this cord. Of course what is that?
Of course where's it? Where's Dad's air pods? Yeah, Bluetooth
changed a lot, no world.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
There's a little gadget I want to buy relatively soon.
It's probably cheap. Where when you go on a plane
and you're watching the in flight entertainment, that's the time
where you're like, oh, I can't use my AirPods.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
There's a little thing you could, like a tiny little square.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
You plug into that and it's like a Bluetooth adapter
from your AirPods to the plane TV. And I think
that's one of those like little Yet I saw like
an old school guy because I was gonna say.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
It's sorto like a sharper image one of those two dads.
But I think that was pretty. When we were kids,
we would get tangled up in our cords.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Yeah, so again today if you just joined us. The
iPhone came out in two thousand and seven, it changed
our lives. So which inventions have changed our lives the most?
It up with your phone calls? Damn Buyer had a
great one. I don't want to, uh what the ring?
I was thinking about that. I'm like, you're right, most
of us probably do. Have you you have one.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
I don't want to.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
I don't want to brush past not only the ability
to be like, oh, who's in my front door? I
have like the ring, floodlight, the different things and all
these cameras around your home. You essentially set up your
own little home security on your smartphone. You know what
I realized courtesy of the ring doorbell, how many explosions
go on throughout the night and how many dogs go missing? Yeah,
my neighborhood close your gates every day, ten dogs are missing.

(21:50):
Take a hold of your pets, everybody, and I get
those alerts all the time. Piper's not going to get
far and my dog once in a while will get
out God forbid, right, my dog such a fat lazy
little friends pull dog sausage. My dog will go like
one house away and I'm like, that's the furthest But
to back up that, I just want to give everyone

(22:10):
a warning, a lesson to be learned that will take
your phone calls and all that. People get caught cheating
or doing dumb things on ring doorbell, and maybe you
deserve to get caught.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
But a lot of times people go in their.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Front porch and be like, all right, I'm gonna take
this scandalous phone call and they don't realize they're on
their front porch and that activates all setting. Their wife's like,
oh wait, someone's on the front porch and they hear
their husband cheating. They're saying, what Jonas got divorced Jonas
and uh Amelia Clark did, Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
I thought Jonas from here, not our Jonas.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
No, not Jonas knocks one of the Jonas brothers and
the Game of Thrones girl. They're saying, one of the
final straws was that one of them caught the other
cheating on the ring doorbell.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
I remember that, so you never know.

meaning fires are breaking out as.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
We speak here in Los Angeles. Danny G's gotta go.
There's a fire where Rich lives in Woodland Hills called
the Kenneth Fire that's developing.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
Look at that, all right, I'll see you guys later.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Okay, the road and we're still gonna go to your
phone calls though, but yeah, I mean our leave too.
So Danny G's out riches out. Two separate fires just
broke out. This is as real as the cats, and
it's super scary, super frightening.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
And it's not stopping. And some people are saying, we
haven't even seen the worst yet. I'm not hoping for
that obviously, but Dan Bayer's gonna be here. We got Iowa, Sam,
I see Ian and Rob G.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
People still hanging out, but going to your phone calls
at eight seven seven ninety nine out Fox. Scary day,
scary past few days here in Los Angeles.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
But on the positive, it's still day one of the
five days of football and getting back to your phone
calls at eighty seven, seven ninety nine on Fox Today.
Eighteen years ago in two thousand and seven. That was
eighteen years ago, you know seven that's when the iPhone
came out. Did you automatically go iPhone?

Speaker 7 (25:53):
No?

Speaker 3 (25:53):
Does that mean you had you were? That means we
were all probably rocking on Nokia up until around this time.

Speaker 7 (25:59):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
I also had a flip phone at the time, sidekicks
and the flip phone that could turn. Not a sidekick
like that, but it it turned, and I could have
a keyboard if I wanted to type. It was it
was great and I just did not want to let
go of it. So it took me a while to
get the iPhone.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Mike, who runs this place, was saying he was a
BlackBerry guy, so I guess it. Around this time in
two thousand and seven, people were still walking around acting
important with their Palm pilots, playing Snake on their Nokia,
and then the iPhone came out on this day and
changed our lives, changed our lives. I went Android, I did.

(26:38):
I didn't get an iPhone until about six seven years ago.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Not a life changer for this guy personally, for me personally,
and West and Vegas would agree. I would just say smartphone, right,
because forty five percent of the population still rocks some
sort of Android. But today it's all about the iPhone.
So based on that, based on that, which inventions have

(27:04):
changed our lives for the most, for the most, as
you say, change our lives the most? Eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox, Who.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Do we Got?

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Who are we going to? How about Tony in Virginia?
You're on the Cavino and Rich Show hanging out with
dB dan Byer. What's up Tony?

Speaker 12 (27:21):
Hello again? Fellas. Before I get my answer, let me
just say that my house burned down twelve years ago.
And I get what everybody's.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Going through now man Rich has bounce Man.

Speaker 12 (27:34):
My answer is drones. I mean drones. They cover the
world now, we see pictures of places we never knew,
and whether it's good or bad, we fight wars with
them and don't have to worry about loss of life.
So I think drones is right up there myself.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Good, no answer, And for like, I mean, don't they
use them a lot in agriculture and farming and all
sorts of different things aside from just photographery and everything else.

Speaker 5 (27:58):
Yeah, how about how about just in our world of
sport of and even though the Goodyear blimp was at
the Rose Bowl, we would need a blimp or a
plane to get these aerial shots of these As a
golf fan, you would need a helicopter that would need
to follow down each hole and you would actually see
the helicopter shadow if it was done in the morning

(28:18):
like taking the video, because it would be like this
is the par four eighthol four hundred yards and the helicopter.
The drone now just takes care of everything we take that.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
So for granted, some of the shots that we see,
especially at a big event you mentioned golf, but like
at a Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
The shots that we get these overhead views are ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
So it definitely had huge impact on how we live,
how we fight wars, and how we watch our sports.

Speaker 5 (28:42):
You're right, some are delivering food, right, like I know,
like there's yes on Michael Jordan's not to make it
about golf again, but on his golf course, you can
ask for food and they will stock up a drone
and it will fly it out to you at the
hole that you're.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
At, Dan, they drive my dad crazy. Yeah, I see one.
This is one over Applebee's as we speak. Yeah, at
the Gussie there. You know what I'll say, They harassed
my dad because he's in Jersey to mask the alien. Yeah,
they masked the alien invasion. But thank you great call,
and you're right. There's so many different uses and even

(29:16):
in the world of sports with the drones. Uh, let's
go to Gabe in Missouri. You're on the Cavino and
Rich Show every Thursday.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
We throw it back, and today's the anniversary of the iPhone.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
What's up, Gabe?

Speaker 7 (29:28):
Hey?

Speaker 9 (29:28):
How are you guys?

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Good Man?

Speaker 9 (29:31):
Good Hey? First off, prayers to all you all in California.
It's a sad time there. But in regards to this,
I think everything correlates with what you guys are talking about.
But Amazon Prime has been an absolute game changer. I
tried to not purchase anything on Prime because I worked
in retail previously, and it got rid of my job.

(29:53):
So I transition transitioned to using Prime and I use
it all the time now, just like everybody else. And
it comes, you know, free shows and videos.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Well, dude, you know what I want to say.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
I'm sorry about your job, but you're so right and
dead on when it comes to this conversation, is like,
which inventions changed your life the most?

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Amazon Prime? Yeah, Prime now.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
And we're so spoiled from this that even getting it
the next day isn't soon enough.

Speaker 5 (30:18):
Sometimes, I'll tell you, the great thing about Amazon Prime
is if you have remorse, buyer's remorse, Yeah, buyer's remorse,
not Dan.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Buyer's from buyer. It's actually the thing.

Speaker 5 (30:29):
Yes, you can cancel it, Oh you can cancel it,
or or yeah, just boom done. Not like Hi, I'm sorry,
I just placed an order and like make a phone
call and be on the phone for twenty minutes trying
to cancel an order.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
It's just boom boom, All right done, I don't need it.

Speaker 13 (30:47):
Plus returns are easy and now they partner with like
Whole Foods. You can just walk into a Whole Foods
or a ups story be like I don't want this. Yes,
you don't have to do anything. You show a barcode
and it gets sent back. You don't have to pay
for shipping to return. It's great.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
It's absolutely changed our lives. Great answer.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
Thanks sure fezus, Thank you, and thank you Dan James
in Virginia. You're on the Cavino and Rich show again.
Let me just give you a quick update. Danny G
had a bounce, just to give you.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
A real life scoop of what's going on here in
La Danny G had a bounce and Rich had a
bounce because it seemed like at the snap of a
finger his area had to evacuate. These fires are We
witnessed this live as it happened. All of a sudden,
little fire broke out where Rich is from where he's
living in Woodland Hills. Next thing you know, they have
to leave and we're watching on TV and it's crazy.

(31:34):
So he had a bounce and thanks again to Spotty
and Dan Bayer for filling in.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
But James, you're on.

Speaker 7 (31:41):
Oh thank you for taking my call. Gentlemen, Thank you man, commander. Guys,
Happy Thursday. And like the gentleman said, man talks some players.
Anytime you going through something crazy, man, hopefully everyone's safe
and makes it out right.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Thank you man.

Speaker 7 (31:52):
Onto what we're talking about. I got three things forty
man for one for me, the flat screen TV. How
light they are? Because I know y'all remember back in
the day thirty two ins was like carrying a bag
of bricks. Number two man streaming services, I know y'all,
and just like me, had a wall of DVDs, not
just an area, a wall of DVDs. I don't have none.

(32:15):
And then sports related the yellow first down line man
game changers. No for real, gentlemen.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
You know y'all have a great one, James, I appreciate
that a lot.

Speaker 9 (32:26):
Man.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
It really is crazy. I can't even believe that people
are going through this. We're going through this. It's so surreal.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
But we actually did work with the guy who invented
the line marker for the first downs, and he was
so proud of a guy named Gary at SNY that
we worked with, and it really did change the way
we watch sports.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
Thanks so much. Let's go to Trip.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
We're talking about game changers, inventions that changed our life.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Trip in Vegas. You're on the show Cavino and Rich.

Speaker 10 (32:55):
Hey, what's going on? Man talks Prayers? Thanks y'all out there.
I was gonna say something before my answer. It was
great when y'all were filling in, getting three hours of y'all,
So that was great.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
Thank you man.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
Yeah, we love doing that. Filling in for a DP
and con cow Herd for sure anytime.

Speaker 10 (33:12):
And then two simple ones would be when I first
put auto reverse on a cassette player in the corta phone.
But the number one thing I would say, if you
had all your information in your iPhone or your cell phone,
could you go without your cell phone or your remote
control for your TV?

Speaker 1 (33:29):
The longest, that's a good question. Longest, Well, I can
use my phone to control my TV now.

Speaker 10 (33:37):
Yeah, I know, but I mean, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Yeah, yeah, you know what, Trip, Let me think about that.
Here's what we're going to do too. If you want
to still call in and chime in, that's fine. If
you want to think of one that sports related, that's great.
Eight seven, seven ninety nine, O Fox are at Covino
and Rich so John and Idaho, Kevin in Texas, everybody
else on hold, Stay on hold because we're going to
get to your phone calls.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
But I got to get to an update. Our guy
Dan byer on standby waving just the same.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Yeah, there were.

Speaker 5 (34:02):
Sitcoms that actually probably ran more years than they should
because they followed other good sitcoms and nobody wanted to
get up out of their chair and change the channel
because they had never remote control, right, But yeah, good
call there.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
You know what Dan in radio too, You know how
many shows reaped the benefits of because it was on
right after Howard Stern or on right after a big
pop yeah radio show, they would reap those benefits of
the residual ratings.

Speaker 5 (34:27):
Absolutely, it's good to be in those nice spots. Yeah,
nice spot to watch football tonight, South Florida Orange Bowl,
Penn State and Notre Dame gonna kick off in less
than an hour. Winner gets to go to the National
Championship Game a week from Monday in Atlanta. Cotton Bowls

Dame because of that injury. Done for the year for Georgia,
but now it could be done for Georgia for good.
He had entered his name in the NFL draft class
for twenty five, but he can withdraw from that. Carson
Beck now in the transfer portal. Raiders today fire general
manager Tom Telesco, while the Patriots interviewed Mike Vrabel for

(35:08):

The next five days again is day one of the
five days of football stiffies. That's what we're calling it, right,
So again, you got to embrace sports. It's such a
fun distraction. Otherwise it's just chaos and destruction. Here in
La seems like one town after the next is going down.

(37:24):
So appreciate the prayers and good thoughts and all the
concern Now wrapping up your phone calls with Kevin in
South Texas. Technology that changed our lives. A lot of
it we see in sports, and a lot of it
is thanks again to the cell phone and the iPhone.
How we consume our updates. Look, we don't tune into

(37:45):
Sports Center the way we used to. Sometimes you don't
even tune into the game the way we used to
because we got it all on our phone.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
All of our updates are here.

Speaker 3 (37:52):
The iPhone came out on this day in two thousand
and seven. What other inventions changed your life? Kevin and
Texas wrap it up.

Speaker 7 (38:01):
What's going on that the first guys, you guys become like,
so we're four on our edge or in our to
thank you man, you know, you know, just by praying
for you guys, just one thing and is funny hoped
for most right now to helping me out with my kids, dude.
Just being able to track your kids like on Life
thirty sixty or just on your iPhone.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Dude.

Speaker 7 (38:20):
It's it's a peace of mind that everybody, you know,
we nineties people didn't grow up with. It's one of
those you know, being able to know where everybody's at
it at all times.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
It's awesome, dude, dude, not only from the parental standpoint.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
I'm with you on that.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
I have a teenage daughter, a teenage pain in the
ass if you will, and let's say she's at a
concert or an event, dB or you know, it's so
great to know where they are at all times.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
You know, so I appreciate that.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
I appreciate your phone call, and I think that's a
really great one. Change our lives so much that friend
groups nowadays, especially like young young women, not to just
sing out young women, but they want to know where
their friends are at all times.

Speaker 5 (39:03):
I was gonna say, at first it was it almost
could have been thought of as a negative thing, like, oh,
where's where's my boyfriend at? Where's my girlfriend at? But
they are more practical and useful. Oh of course, yes,
reasons for.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
It as a dad. Seriously, it does come in handy.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
We're running out of time, so whatever we don't get
into we'll do on over promise. We still have over promised.
There our bonus podcast us on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page.
But I did want to say one thing about the
Calves thunder from last night. We only got a few
minutes left, but did you see what Brian Windhorst said
of ESPN. He's the league leading NBA analyst on ESPN.

(39:40):
He says the Calves thunder last night was an advertisement
of NBA regular season basketball at its best. That twelve
minutes of basketball in the third quarter was as high
as level as he's seen in the NBA season in
like twenty plus years of covering the NBA. He says,
if you don't love this game and you watch this,
then you just don't love basketball. So maybe last night

(40:03):
was the turning point of the NBA where people start
focusing in on it again because ratings have been down,
people have been down on the NBA. But the Calves
Thunder may have helped you turn the corner. The two
best teams in the league going at it head to head,
and the Thunder again lost to the Calves one twenty
nine two. But they're saying basketball at his best. So

(40:23):
basically what we're seeing is you had to fight through
a real lull of the season, a good thirty seven
games of boring until maybe yesterday where we turned the corner.
And what comes to mind for me, because sometimes you
sit through boring just in hopes that it gets good again. Yeah,
and you know, it happens in sports, it happens in life,
it happens in movies and entertainment. How many people gave

(40:46):
up on better call Saul because you thought it got boring?
Guess what if you stuck it out, it got good again,
I promise you. Ninety percent of the baseball season.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Yeah, you know what.

Speaker 3 (40:56):
I'm a big baseball fan, but you're right. The postseason
they really picked in. But guys, maybe now's the time
to tune into some NBA.

Speaker 5 (41:04):
Windhorse does sound like a company man, though, because all
those games.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
Are gonna be on ESPN and ABC. That's a great point.
That's a great point.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
But again one two calves over the thunder. Maybe this
is the turning point, something else you you need to
watch to distract yourself from all the destruction. All right,
so join us on over promised guys, Fox Sports Radios
YouTube page. Till then arivea derci. We'll see you in
the promised land. Goodbye, guys,
