Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, and on my new podcast, How Hard Can It Be? I call on my Gen X squad from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate Midlife's most fantastic BS. Unfiltered conversations from night sweats to futas to scheduling sex. Wait, what sex? Is it just me, or does every woman my age want to look at Pinterest instead of having sex sometimes? They say we can't polish a turn, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with. laughs, tears, or tears of laughter.

It's our favorite time of the year on our podcast point game, the playoffs. We're digging into the biggest surprises of the season. And I'm looking back on some of my greatest playoff moments. If we didn't talk ever again, I was hungry.

Oh, it's going to be a fun one today. So definitely chime in. Whatever we don't have time for on the show, we always do overpromised. We're going to talk about sports urban legends.

There's a new story that makes the top three. Absolutely. We'll talk some college football, which will give you his picks. But right now here on the show, Fox Sports Radio, we be rocking out. Oh, yes, yes, yes. And we'd be going old school because today the iPhone turns 18. It was 18 years ago today. Steve Jobs and his turtleneck got up there, and he introduced the world to what he called

the future, the iPhone. nerdle neck and you know i stand by what i said i can't think of an invention in our lifetime that was more impactful than the iPhone i said the internet as a whole that's that's a broad thing to call an invention right i think honestly you give way too much credit for the iPhone you could say smartphone changed our life i don't find that much of a difference dude i have an iphone but this is only my second iPhone i ever had 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 judged for having the Android. I really was. Green text messages? Yeah. There's no booty.

I was just, so I made the adjustment. I did. I'm like, well, I guess I'm getting an iPhone. If it's going to get in my way, the Android was essentially a C block. So I'm like, there's one guy in every group chat,

your fantasy football buddies, your pals from college. It's always one dope that messes up to group chat with his green text messages and his pictures and videos that ruin it all. 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 of the iPhone. Well, it paved the way for the other phones. Yeah, I mean, 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 talk about here on Fox Sports Radio. I think I know what's coming. I don't know 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. I knew it. Really? Yeah.

No sense of direction. Rich was born without a brain. He's like the scarecrow of the show. I'm sorry, what? Yeah. They forgot to give me a GPS. Yo, can I tell you, Covino till this day? Yeah.

I'll walk around a circle. And I'm like, where am I going? I'm not even exaggerating when I say this, but it's such a local, it's such a local reference that it wouldn't make sense. But right now, Covino doesn't even know what direction like downtown L.A. is. Like, I don't know, like, what fires are affecting me because I'm like, it doesn't register in my brain. We were doing our show a decade ago.

We did a TV show on SNY. before ESPN. We broadcast it in New York City. We played a game one day and mocked his lack of directional knowledge. We pulled up a map of New Jersey and said, where is Union your hometown? He was so far off.

It's not surprising. You know, I knew somewhere in the middle, north, but it's not surprising because I really have no internal GPS. So when the invention of GPS became a thing, And what do we have, like, our TomTom? Yeah. Kavino saves so much ink from printing out MapQuest directions. Yeah.

Oh, I was that guy. And there was another one. I feel like it started with a G. Oh, yeah. There was another brand of GPS that was a thing at one point. Because remember, they didn't. Gorman? Gorman.

Garmin. Garmin. Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom and Garmin. Yeah, now we have them 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 get around. It really just changed my life tremendously. I would say for me personally more than an eye. You know, my grandmother, who passed away a couple years back, she was in her 90s. When she was still with it in her early 90s, you know, you start picking the brain of the older people in your life. Like, Grandma, tell me about the depression. You know, you started to ask, Grandma, I remember asking her, what today fascinate you the most? You lived from the 1920.

She passed away a couple years ago, lived to 96 years old. It's like, Grandma, what impressed you the most over your almost 100 years on this planet? Did she say your hair plugs and how real they looked? 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.

She's like, I just, insane. I can't comprehend. Like, you put, like, we were in Queens, and she's like, put it in an address in Florida, and it'll tell you, you know, so many hours, so many minutes, and you'll be in Fort Lauderdale. Like, how? Incredible. Yeah. How?

You didn't explain the satellites to her? Yeah, now exactly, right? It's unbelievable. 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. around like well how did you know where this person lived how did you know to get there wait well how'd you get to different places in other towns like uh word of mouth you asked people you recognize landmarks you used a map yeah we were little kids there was the thomas guide i tried explaining

that to the teens that we have and they're like a what a book it's insane so i would say gps is a close second man no it's right up there was on my list and hand in hand it goes with carplay 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 this? That is true. 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 Mike hit us up who listens in Cincinnati. What's up, Mike? Hey, Mike.

He said... He doesn't run this place. He said, it's not an invention as much as just how big screen TVs. And I know Kavino loves to correct me, but 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 60, 70 inch TV for 200 bucks. I know. I'm thinking I need one over 100 inches now.

That's what I'm thinking. I mean, you might need it. I mean, it would cost less than what you paid in the 2000s. For real, I paid, this is a true story, I swear to God. 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 $6,000-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 can't imagine doing that now. It's gross, right? I would never do that. What do you think you're a big TV guy now? What do you think? What are you? Oh, you're trying to take over Rich's thing?

That might as well, if I paid $6,000, I remember my mom, like, split it with me. Sam, because it was my first home. 6,000 to me back then might as well have been $100,000 for that TV. Sam, I see where you're going. He wants to be, he wants Steve's big TV game in the week. I see what you're trying to do it. I see what you're trying to do. Let's go to your phone calls on the anniversary of the iPhone.

Before we get into some NFL and coaching. You are an iPhone snob, though. I am trying to tone you down. I am. I don't sound like a big snob. Mike, who runs this place, came in and said, it's not quite 50-50, but here in the States, it's 45-55.

45% of people still have an Android. So you might not want to sound like a snob when 45% of your audience are those guys that have it. If someone doesn't like me because I make fun of their phone, then I didn't, then you think you're better than people. Rich is a type of guy that backs into his parking spot and thinks he's better than you.

I'm not wrong with that. I hate those people. This show is two producers and you're making bad. Big Mike do your research on the Android? Come on, guys. Let's go. We looked it up, DB. The exact number is 56.63.

That's how many people have the iPhone? For Apple, yeah. Wow. I can tell you, though, who at FSR, producers, talent, whatever, has a non-Iphone. Jason Stewart. Yeah, just look for the people that need a race. Chris Perfet, 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 of iPhone. According to Rich.

It says a lot about them. Andy Furman sends snail mail. Andy Furman has an iPhone, though. I can tell you that. But you know what, guys? An iPhone negative 2. I don't like that. Did you hear about like the Siri function, like spying on people?

And like, we're not really surprised by that. Apple having to pay out like $95 million, which is like a penny to them. But it's like, you know, that ain't cool. But otherwise, I love my iPhone. Yeah. Let's go to your feedback. Let's start with John and Virginia. you. 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 can say, is sort of combined now, right? What's up, John? Hey, how you guys doing? Love the show. Thanks, man.

It's a kitchen gadget, but the air fire. You know, it's become a rage. People love talking about their air friar. 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 it, I'm not saying your answer's wrong. I'm saying, I'm saying you're right. I just don't get it. Right? That became a thing. We use ours a lot. Do you?

I mean, we use it, but is it that great? Yeah. Well, you don't want your, your snotty-nosed kids using the oven. So our kids use the air fryer all the time. A lot of, you know what you, you don't realize, not that you don't realize, but some toaster ovens are air-friars. Like, you know, my. place. My toaster oven is an air fryer. It's not just a toast oven. So it does, like, I know you're

saying the airfare like it looks you can pull out like a coffee machine. My, my toaster oven is an air frying. Yeah, same thing. Okay. Let's go to Josh in Ohio. What's up, Josh? Hey, Josh. Hey, what's up, guys? Thanks for keeping nostalgia alive. Thursdays are a great start of my weekend. Thanks, man. 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 it in my pocket in college, the iPod. The iPod was a game changer, but now it's just in your phone, right? Yeah, but the iPod was huge. And I remember when I first met Kavino, just to show you, I've said, we've taken this

friendship and show from the time we were in our 20s to 40s. When I first met Kavino, the 2000s, he would walk through New York City with a disc man. Swear to God. I remember Kavino would pull up to work, take off his headphones, and he would throw his disc man on his desk. That's how we used to operate. It did change the game. And by the way, that disc man, I'd run through batteries

like crazy, hitting the mega boost and the anti-skip. Yeah, the shock feature. Yeah, after one album, I had to re-change my batteries. 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. But if you rested it on your leg, there would be a way where you could keep it and then it wouldn't skip when you played it. I remember the first time I saw someone with an MP3 player. And if you guys are radio nerds, you may remember the name. It was a host and friend of my name Wilpandarvis.

Wilpin Darvis was walking around. He's like, yeah, it stores MP3s. This is before, I think, an iPod. Yeah. And it was called a nomad and it stored MP3s. And I'm like, what? What is that? And again, change the game.

But again, we have it all on our phone now. You know, I'll throw one into the mix talking about technology and things that changed our life in the last 20, 30, 40 years, however long. Change our lives to most. I think back to my childhood. If you went out for a school event or some kid's birthday party, your parents would have to set the VC's. to tape things and it hardly ever worked the way you wanted to. If you missed a play in a game, hey, you missed it. You might see it on Warner Wolf's plays in 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 is on again. Yeah, if you missed it, you missed it. You missed it, you missed it. If the show started If growing pains started

And by the way you brought up sports highlights If it was a show you liked And you missed it Then you just missed it Good luck Maybe you'll get a replay or something But you missed it Think about it

If growing pains was on at 8 o'clock Or Alph or I don't know Mr. Belvedere If you showed up at 805 You just missed the first five minutes And you hope that you really didn't miss anything important That's 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 Dad, what things black and white? My man, the 1900s were rough. 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 overkill for Rich. He paces during football already. But think about the way, you know, football, baseball, basketball, how it's all covered with the cameras and the graphics and the TV studios, the way that technology has advanced. We talked about it earlier in the show. In the 80s, it was Showtime Lakers, if they showed the clock,

it would always be shaking because they put a camera up. They put a camera on the stadium clock. And if the arena was shaking at all, yeah. You remember that visual, Denny G. Just unlocked a memory. Oh, yeah, Lakers Celtics and the clock was shaking. If they showed the time, the shot clock, anything,

they would be doing, they'd be taking, they wouldn't be a graphic. They'd be doing a video camera shaking of the arena. 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 of the... Snakes? One of my... The dark. 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 to watch them in any city really changed 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.

That would change my life a lot. Like the fact that I get to watch the Yankees but live in L.A., and you could live anywhere and still watch what you watch and have that local feel. That's a game changer for me. You're talking to the audience. You're talking to the audience that would have. 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 happened to be playing Monday night football or if they were playing a game. You weren't able to watch them. They happen to televise. But as a radio host, they would always say you have to start and get your chops in another city.

And I would think to myself, I don't want to move to another city and I can't watch to Yankees? That was your biggest? That was what I didn't care about missing friends and family. I can't watch my this and that. I mean, absolutely can. Now, game changer. What's up by the same?

So inventions that change your life the most. Three advancements in automotive technology. Blind spot assist, automatic braking, and lane assist. Those are saving lives. Blind spot assist, 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 is a huge help. The automatic braking, though, like, you know you'll be on any LA highways and traffic slows down immediately. A lot of people, they don't gauge that

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. I throw heads-up display in that conversation. I had it. I don't love it. I love it. I need it because I'm so distracted. It's what projects, like, your GPS and all your... On your wind show? Setting. on your windshield. I have that on my car. I wouldn't put that anywhere close to the other ones. I know you don't like it. I do. I need it. I wouldn't compromise on it.

There's two that I was Sam brought up that one you said I'm going to add to it. The blind spot assist. That's what I was trying to do, Rich, but you dismissed it. I was trying to add the Sam's. Yeah, you just wasn't good though. Okay. Yeah, but for me it was. It's trying to assist and he dismissed. Yeah, yeah.

Listen, you know John Stockton. Well, Rich has the number one answer on the point. You know John Stockton. I'm John Stockton with the assists. Look at these short shorts. You put the ass in asses, bro. Go ahead. 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 signal on or anyone's even in your blind spot, the fact that your side view mirror is a light goes on is, you're right. How many little fender benders and unfortunately bad collisions does that prevent lane changing? The technology is 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 cameras, yeah.

The backup camera, if you're coming out of a curve, out of a curve driveway. I don't think so, Sam. Well, come on, though, 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, I mean, you still do, but you should use rear mirror mirror. For it's not for me, though. Yeah.

It also helps all the jerks of who think they need to back into every single parking space. 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 us. This makes easier to get out. Yet women still scrape rims. Kidding. Hey.

What's up, Dan Byron? Did anybody say ring the ring for the... Dude, great. Nah, that's a good one. Who doesn't have one now? Yep. Yeah. Some version of it.

Wasn't that a shark tank invention? I believe it was, right? It was. So can I throw scrub daddy in that conversation? Can I throw the snuggie? I want to throw bombous socks into this guy. I have one that makes ring possible. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Yeah, I was thinking taking wires away. Yeah. Making things mobile. Like the headphones we have for in studio still have cords. My kids think I'm crazy when they see this cord. Of course. What is that? Of course.

Where's the heads AirPods? Yeah. Bluetooth changed a lot. No doubt. 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 I can't use my AirPods. There's a little thing you could, like a tiny little square 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. I sound like an old school guy because I was going to say it's sort of like a sharper image products. How much her slimmer? One of those do dads. Yeah, but I think that's pretty cool. When we were kids, we would get tangled up in our cords. Yeah, so again, today, if you just joined us, the iPhone came out in 2007.

It changed our lives, so which inventions have changed our lives the most? Dan Byer. We wrap it up with your phone calls. Dan Byer had a great one. I don't want to. What, the ring? Yeah, I was thinking about that. I'm like, you're right.

Most of us probably do have, do you have one? I have one. 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.

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, we'll get out, God forbid, right? My dog's such a fat, lazy little I know. He's a little sausage. My dog will go, like, one house away, and I'm like, that's the furthest. He's just looking for bacon or something. I know. But to back up that, I just want to give everyone 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, but a lot of times people go in their front porch and be like, all right, I'm going to take this scandalous phone call. And they don't realize they're on their front porch. And that activates all of a sudden. Their wife's like, oh, wait, someone's on the front porch. And they hear their husband cheating.

They're saying, ooh, what Jonas got divorced? Jonas and Amelia Clark did. Oh, yeah. I thought Jonas from here. Not our Jonas. No, not Jonas Knox. 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.

I remember that. So you never know. Hey, listen, your feedback and everything next. More, Kavino and Rich right here on Fox Sports Radio.

We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts.

Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But, this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And, well, we were thinking I'm originally

calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, people could call in and say, Hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.

But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier.

This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas.

And I'm CJ Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows. Without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs.

I think Joker's going to be exhausted. this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers why he got the bar like, after you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court and you're going to get the bomb.

So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This week on Crimless, we're joined by our first ever guest. Sorry, our first ever human guest. I don't think I could be in the same room with Shamrock the pair. I'd be too nervous.

That's right. The very funny, Will Ferrell joins Rory Scoble and me, Josh Dean, for an episode dedicated to the many crimes committed by people also named Will Farrell. They called to his fellow officer for the nippers.

What are the nippers? Very good question. No, I was thinking, would that be a good name for like a salad dressing? Simple assault? And it's a play on word, salt? Maybe not. I say we invest and we see. There's only one way to know.

This did not amuse the cops. By the way, normally the cops are amused, but this did not abuse the cops. Will even comes clean about some of his own crimes. I didn't get caught. You know why? If you don't want to be suspected of anything, you whistle as you walk. Listen to crime lists on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Agency, the ability to know that we're the experts in our own body. On the podcast, cultivating her space, Dr. Dom and Terry Lomax create a space where black women can show up fully and be heard. I wholeheartedly think, you know, you hit 30. You shouldn't have to share one with anybody. Mm-hmm. from navigating friendships and healing, to setting boundaries and prioritizing your mental health. These are real, honest conversations. We don't always get to have out loud.

Totally unreasonable with different parts of life, right? Like, oh, have all three meals and make sure you're mindful during all of them? Absolutely not. During one meal, I'm standing. I'm standing and handing my children food. Because healing, empowerment, and resilience aren't just ideas, their practices. and this mental health awareness month, there's no better time to pour back into yourself.

Listen to cultivating her space on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

Perfect for instant contact with your friends. We use them on the show. Go to rapid radios.com now for up to 60% off and free shipping. So there's lots going on, meaning fires are breaking out as we speak here in Los Angeles. Danny G's got to go. There's a fire where Rich lives in. Lynn Hills called the Kenneth fire that's developing. Looking bad. I will see you guys later.

Okay. I'll hang out with you. I'll call it. And we're still going to go to your phone calls, though. But yeah, I mean, I would leave too. So Danny G's out. Rich is out. Two separate fires just broke out.

This is as real as it gets. And it's super scary, super frightening. 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 Byers going to be here. We got Iowa, Sam. I see Ian and Rob G.

People still hanging out. But going to your phone calls at 87799 on Fox. Scary day. Scary past few days here in Los Angeles. But on the positive, it's still day one of the five days of football. And getting back to your phone calls at 87799 on Fox. Today, 18 years ago in 2007. That was 18 years ago.

Jeez. You know, seven. I know. That's when the iPhone came out. Did you automatically go iPhone? No. Does that mean you had, you were, that means we were all probably rocking a Nokia up until around this time, right?

Yes. I also had a flip phone at the time. A sidekicks. And the flip phone that could turn, not a sidekick like that, but 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.

Mike, who runs this place, was saying he was a Blackberry guy. So I'm guessing around this time in 2007, 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. I didn't get an iPhone until about six, seven years ago.

I like it. Not a life changer for this guy personally. For me personally, in West and Vegas would agree. I would just say smartphone, right? Because 45% 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 changed our lives for the most? For the most.

Who would you say? Change our lives the most. 87799 on Fox. Who do we got? Who are we going to? How about Tony in Virginia? You're on the Kavino and Rich Show hanging out with DB, Dan Byer. What's up, Tony?

Hello again, fellas. Before I give my answer, let me just say that my house burned down 12 years ago and I now. Rich has bounced, man. My answer is drones. I mean, drones, they cover the world now. We see pictures of places we never knew. We fight wars with them and don't have to worry about loss of life. So I think drones is right up there myself.

Good answer. I mean, don't they use them a lot in agriculture and farming and all sorts of different things, aside from just photography and everything else? Yeah. How about just in our world of sports 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, like taking the video because it would be like, this is the par four. eighth hole 400 yards in the helicopter the drone now just takes care of everything we take that

so for granted some of the shots that we see especially at a big event you mentioned golf but like at a super bowl the shots that we get these overhead views are ridiculous so it definitely had huge impact on how we live how we fight wars and how we watch our sports 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 at and drop it off. They drive my dad crazy in New Jersey. Yeah, I see one. There's one over Applebee's as we speak.

Yeah, I think I see. You know what else they do? They harass my dad because he's in Jersey. They mask the alien invasion. Yeah, they mask the alien invasion. But thank you. Great call. And you're right.

There's so many different uses and even in the world of sports with the drones. Let's go to Gabe in Missouri. You're on the Kavino and Richo. Every Thursday we throw it back, and today's the anniversary of the iPhone. What's up, Gabe? Hey, how are you guys? Good, man. 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. So I transitioned to using Prime, and I use it all the time now, just like everybody else. And it comes with, you know, free shows and videos. Well, dude, you know what? I want to say, I'm sorry about your job.

But you're so right and dead on when it comes to this conversation. It's like which inventions change your life the most. Amazon Prime. Prime now. Yeah, Prime now. And we're so spoiled from this that even getting it the next day is. soon and not sometimes. I'll tell you the great thing about Amazon Prime

is if you have remorse, buyer's remorse. Buyers remorse. Not Dan Byers or man. It's actually a thing. Yes. You can cancel it. Oh, you can cancel it or yeah. Just boom, 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 20 minutes, trying to cancel an order. It's just boom, boom, boom. All right. I don't need it. Plus returns are easy, and now they've partnered with like Whole Foods. You can just walk into a Whole Foods or a UPS store.

Be like, I don't want this. Yes. And 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. It's absolutely changed our lives. Great answer for sure.

Thank you. And thank you, Dan. James in Virginia, you're on the Kavino and Rich Show. Again, let me just give you a quick update. Danny G. had to bounce just to give you a real-life scoop of what's going on here in L.A. 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. So he had a bounce. And thanks again to Spotty and Dan Byer for filling in. But James, you're on.

Thank you, man. Thank you, man. Thank you, man. commanders guys happy Thursday and like like the gentleman said man thought some prayers anytime you're going through something crazy man hopefully everyone's safe and makes it out right thank you man on to what we're talking about i got three things for you man for one for me the flat screen tv how light they are because i know y'all remember back in the day a 32 inch 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. And then sports related, the yellow first down line, man. Game changes. You know, for real. Stay safe out there, gentlemen. You know, y'all have a great one. James, I appreciate that a lot, man.

It really is crazy. I can't even believe that people are going through this. We're going through this. It's so surreal. 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 to way we watch sports. Thanks so much. Let's go to Trip. We're talking about game changers. Inventions that changed our life. Trip in Vegas, you're on the show, Kavino and Rich. Oh, man. Thoughts and prayers to all y'all out there. I was going to say

something before my answer. It was great when y'all were filling in getting three hours of y'all. So that was great during the holiday. Thank you, man. Yeah, we love doing that, filling in for D.P. and Colin Cowherd for sure, anytime. Two simple ones would be when they first put auto reverse on a cassette player and the cordless 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? That's a good question. Longest. Well, I can use my phone to control my TV now. Yeah, I know, right? You know what I mean? You know what I'm saying?

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's sports related, that's great. 87799 on Fox or at Kavino and Rich. So John and Idaho, Kevin and Texas, everybody else on hold.

Stay on hold because we're going to get to your phone calls, but I got to get to an update. Our guy, Dan Byer, is on standby waving just to say hi. Yeah, there were 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 didn't have a remote control. You're right. But, yeah, good call there.

You know what, Dan, in radio, too. You know how many shows reap the benefits of because it was on right after Howard Stern or on right after a big popular radio show? They would reap those benefits of the residual ratings. 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 going to kick off in less than an hour. Winter gets to go to the national championship game, a week from Monday in Atlanta. Cotton Bulls tomorrow between Texas and Ohio State. Georgia quarterback Carson Beck. has entered the transfer portal back at an elbow surgery as he didn't play in last week's game against Notre Dame because of that injury done for the year for Georgia. But now could be done for Georgia for good.

He had entered his name in the NFL draft class for 2025, but he could withdraw from that. Carson Beck now in the transfer portal. Raiders today fired general manager Tom Telesco while the Patriots interviewed Mike Vrable for their head coaching vacancy. Lyons defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn DeKlan, an interview from the New England Patriots, but we'll interview for the five other head coaching vacancies. That's according to the NFL network. Former Seahawks head coach B. Carroll interviewed with the Bears. Ravens wide receivers, A. Flowers has been ruled out of Saturday's wildcard game against Pittsburgh.

Tyree kills, Agent Drew Rosenow stole the Pat McAfee's show. His client is committed to the Miami Dolphins. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hertz upgraded to a full participant in practice today, as was Packers quarterback Jordan Love. Hertz just needs to clear concussion protocol, but it looks like both will be available. Sunday. Cove, back to you. Nice. Thank you, D.B. And thank you Fox Sports

Radio Nation. Now, we're going to get to the rest of your phone calls. Plus, I'll tell you what's coming up on over Promise. Do we do it next right here on Fox Sports Radio? Hey, it's us to Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news? Huge news. We created our own podcast

called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys?

I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast,

where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends.

Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an acapella with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game.

His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows. Without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup,

he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nass would get that thing. That man, hell get the first.

flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers, why he got the ball. Like, after you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

So excited about Notre Dame, Penn State, some good football the next five days again it's 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 l a it seems like one town after the next is going down 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 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 all of our updates are here the iPhone came out on this day in 2007 what other inventions changed your life Kevin and Texas wrap it up what's going on so let's hear of your head during our truth Thank you, man. You know, just my prayer for you guys. Just one thing, and it's probably the most right now, too. It helps me out with my kids, dude. Just being able to track your kids, like, on Life 360 or just on your iPhone, dude,

it's a peace of mind that everybody, you know, we in the 90s 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. It's awesome, dude. Dude, not only from the parental standpoint, and I'm with you on that, 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, you know? So I appreciate that. 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 women, not to just sing a young women, but they want to know where their friends are at all times. I was going to say at first it was it almost could have been thought of as a negative thing like oh where where's where's my boyfriend at where's my girlfriend at but there are more practical and useful oh of course yes reasons for it as a dad seriously it does come in handy uh we're running at a time so whatever we don't get into we'll do on over promise we still have over over promise today 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 uh did you see what brian winhurst said of ESPN. He's the league leading NBA analyst on ESPN. He says, the CAF's Thunder last night was an

advertisement of NBA regular season basketball at its best. That 12 minutes of basketball in the third quarter was as high as level as he's seen in the NBA season in like 20 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 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 Cavs 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 Cavs, 129, 122. But they're saying basketball at his best. So basically what we're seeing is you had to fight through a real lull of the season, a good 37 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 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.

90% of the baseball season. You know what? I'm a big baseball fan, but you're right. The postseason, it really kicked in. But guys, maybe now's the time to tune into some end. B. A. Windhorse does sound like a company man, though, because all those games are going to be on ESPN and ABC. That's a great point. That's a great point. But again, 129, 122, Cavs Over the Thunder. Maybe this is the turning point.

Something else you need to watch to distract yourself from all the destruction. All right. So join us on Overpromise guys, Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. Until then, Arriva Derci. We'll see you in the Promise Land. Goodbye, guys. Hey, guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it.

We get to ask other people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite on humor.
