I'm Akela Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things. As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black city in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people.

and spotty's on the videos at Covino and Rich. And just a reminder, overpromised begins, our bonus podcast begins an hour from now on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. Now, a quickie conversation based off a funny meme, Danny G sent us last night that's got to it viral. If you want to read it, I'd appreciate it. Cove. 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. I got a few. You know where you often see this on videos that go viral where you see parents hand over a teenage kid a weaniel. They'll hand this weaniel, a rotary phone. Yeah. And they're like, dial that number. And it's not necessarily a skill, but it's a skill we had. You mentioned, Rich, memorizing phone numbers. These kids have no idea how to do it. They're handed a cassette. Yeah.

And they don't know how to put it in and play it. 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 mixtape. Yeah, a real mixed tape where that came from, the word tape.

Oh, exactly. I wrote that mixtape too. 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 and a art. There's an art. And an honor. Like, you made the time.

You gave that to somebody. Oh, my goodness. You put so much heart and thought into that. Well, now, it's going to Spotify or Apple or Amazon or any app for that matter. And you're just dropping and dragging songs. It's like AI. It does all the work for it. I mean, how about this?

Hold on. They'll never have a complete understanding. Like, you could tell them, but they'll not know everything. And 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. 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. Sure. Because the phones are all hot, but I feel like I want to angle it a little bit differently.

87799 on Fox. 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 what? But I'm talking about just like 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 ticket master. to open it like your local video store. They don't know that hassle. They're just like, Dad, Mom, can you go on Stub Hope or Sheik or something? Like, they don't know the struggle of hoping that there weren't too many people in line. 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. And we didn't have no way of communicating. you'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 bat 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. How many times? What if your friend was at the mall, though? How would you find them? I'm like, I don't know.

You just would try to find them, that's all. 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 City Field after Chase Stadium, How many times have you met someone at that big apple? Yeah, I'm at me at the apple or at Dodger Stadium. They got that big bobblehead. Meeting someone.

Yeah, it was a big one. 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 them 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. Turned into a cartoon. Turned into a cartoon, a cereal, lunchbox. Like, Pac-Man swept the nation for me as a kid, and that was my pocket, right? And 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 was so many other iconic characters since, no one really even talks about Pac-Man and how big he was. I'll be honest. Kavana was a couple years older than me. Pac-Pan before my time. I never played Pac-Man. He was huge. I remember I was a little boy and I got Nintendo.

It was huge when I was little. But I know the legacy. You know, you bring this up all the time, Rich. How to keep score. Kids will never. Oh, my bad. On his list. Yeah, it's on his list.

It took my whole list. My bad. No, I wrote down. Well, I had it written down too. 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 learned just last week, right, that they don't sell programs that 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, 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. 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 of 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? And you're like, well, not really. I don't know. Oh, it was a typewriter.

It was like a typewriter. I mean, we had a typewriter too. Along those lines, all kids know is texting their friends. last week my wife was talking to our teenager because she was telling her 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 passing notes dude 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 if they don't know the assignment they don't get their grades in real time 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. The teacher posts notes and homework online on the school website, on the school app. 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. 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.

The lost art of blank. That's where we're going here on a throwback Thursday. Let me hit you a couple more. Younger generations just lack an understanding of it. I saw a funny meme and it sort of encapsulates this thought. back in the day we would wait until 8 or 9 p.m. 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. 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? That is so funny, dude. Roll over minutes? No, the nights and weekends thing. I'll call you back at 9 o'clock. Or how about this? You know, the calling card that we had to have when we traveled. Oh, yeah.

Remember your parents would be if someone called Long distance? Long distance. It really comes down to the lack of understanding that younger generations have today. 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, of calling a girl for your buddy while he was listening in. Oh, yeah, that was the best.

Because that wouldn't be a thing anymore. But Danny, if Danny's like, yeah, Rich, remember when Ernie and Billy Madison did it? Yeah, that was the last two people to do it. Ernie and Billy Madison. You blow it! That would 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. Just curious. 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? 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. 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 cell phone. And by the end of college, we had cell phone. So I think back to like my freshman year, late 90s, if you went to the bar and you wanted to communicate to your buddy, 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 going to be at O'Fleinigan's at 9 o'clock. And you just left him a dry erase message. And if you didn't have it, you'd have to leave a note somehow. Or else John never knew where you were. But did you know at 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 like third and fourth period, like, hey, babe, love you. And kids back then had that particular skill, how to fold those little notes. I didn't know.

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

Remember a lot of the teachers would have the rule. A lot of the teachers had the rule. If I find it, I'm going to 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 gross story that I'm even skipped. I'm hesitant to tell. Oh, now you've got to tell it. I have to tell.

But before I tell that one, 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 Kavino and the teacher intercepted.

And I remember you said your mom was called like, some girl sending your son pictures of a naked seller. She got a lot of trouble. I didn't do anything. Yeah, I did nothing at all. I remember being like, oh, man. But yeah, people are always passing notes. You know what they had to be crafty about it.

You had to fold it up real nice. They still do that in one place today in prison. Yeah, passing notes. They have like a little fish line. And Sam knows from experience. I do. Or from watching lockup. Sam.

So jailbird. Let's go to your phones. 87799 on Fox. Get you involved. We love reminiscing on a Thursday. I'll quickly tell the one embarrassing. It's not me, but I remember, you know the one teacher? There was always a teacher that was so sweet but gullible.

And you always felt bad like, oh, the delinquent guys are being so mean to her. You know what I'm talking about. There was always like an older, nice lady teacher. Yeah, usually a substitute. And the scummy dudes in your class would always. do rude things to her. Yeah. You know, old,

I'll call her old Miss Melville. It was like, poor Miss Melville. If I catch someone with a note, I'm going to 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. Miss Melville intercepts it. okay she opens the note in front of the class and a bunch of hair falls on her so the lost art of being a dirt bag I guess yeah being a trash bag the lost art of that how about the last I'm speaking of school micro-fiche because your kid will ask you well if you had to do a book report

had to well honey there was something called micro-fish and a card catalog you had to know how to do these things I was looking back that system stunk yeah it was the worst I'd 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 to, he went through all the old Miami Dolphins rosters like on micro-feash. It was for the birds, dude. That was the only cool use of microfeish in

humanity when Ace Ventura tried to track down Finkel. But dad, what if you had to look stuff up like well we had encyclopedias I guess shout out to Funkin Waggnels and Britannica and Charlie Brown I had those two. Encyclopedia Britannica. Yeah. So again

the lack of understanding. The lack of understanding, things that this current generation or younger generations just lack understanding of. The Lost Art of Blank. Let's start with Tripp in Vegas. You're on with Kavino and Rich. What's up, Tripp? Hey, gentlemen, every show is better than the last.

Oh, thanks, brother. Let's spread that rumor, man. I'm going to rattle off a few. And then I wanted to add one because when Rich changed the parameters a little bit. So I would say cursive, developing film, reading a map, changing a tire. and then the one thing when you're talking about not a skill but they missed

Black Friday we used to have to stand in line if no stores were open now 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 if it was interesting

Kavino he said developing pictures now they don't even how to use the camera I'm saying now the idea of like all right I'm going to 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 Manascalco, aren't you embarrassed? Doesn't you do a bit where you'd go to SeaWorld? Call C-O-Rca? Sham-U? Shamu. Your mom would be like, click. Hope I got it. Hope I got it.

You would just hope you got the picture. 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 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? Yeah, waterproof. And so people would have-

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. No doubt. Sacktown, one of our favorites. Sean, what's going on, brother? Yeah, my flashback, fool. Man, you always had me crack it up at the

bro. Thanks, man. First of all, Rich, what a dirty dog you were in elementary school, man. That poor teacher. No, that wasn't me. Just for the record. That was not me. I was in that class.

Rich had no hair, so it couldn't have been here. It couldn't have been here. Rich was patting a baldie down there real quick, man. They used to call them Baldo Ronaldo. These kids will never know about the art of Mac and Covino knows what I'm talking about, man. Telling your home girl that you have a little crush on her home girl. Get on the phone doing three-way calls at nighttime, trying to try to plant this. 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. You know what it is, man? It was 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. I was just going to say we have social media game.

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. 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 call sometimes. Party lines.

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 dial up to the internet. These are all great examples. You know, I had something happened 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 got a knock on the door. I'm like, what's 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 up 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 this could be. It was just 1980-something? Dude, it felt like it, and it was the coolest feeling. I said, at first, I was like, who's knocking at my door? The neighborhood kid wanted my son to come play basketball.

Dan Byer just asked what time it was that they were playing basketball. 11 p.m. Dan. No, 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 little bit. I'm like, dude,

you're across the street playing basketball. Be a kid. All right. I want to go rapid fire? Let's do it. Let's get you involved. It's all you now. Let's go. Pete in Iowa. Hey, Pete. Hey, how you guys doing? What's up? Before I say my one thing I, we, we forgot is a real quick story about my back in 1988. We went to the Laker game.

I was like 15 years old. My mom dropped this off, me and my buddy at the parking lot, I said, we'll see you in three hours. That don't happen anymore. Oh, you had a old, like your parents dropping you somewhere. See you later. What's that? No, no. They dropped you off.

Yeah, they dropped us off. They will see you three hours. So I had one of those old, Ken, A, E1, K. cameras. I stuck up to the court side, took great pictures of Kareem doing sky hooks, imagine doing a no-look pass, and I acted in the open the back door and ruined all my photos.

So that was a harsh door. I still think about that today. Oh, that's the worst. Thanks for the call, Peter. He had all these great photos ruined. No, and I think about too rich. I don't think anyone was going to say this, but again, like, my daughter asks me these questions all time. Like, well, Melody, we used to have to call 4-1-1.

What's that? Well, if I needed the number to, I don't know, to blockbuster video because I wanted to know if they had the if they had a from Dust till Dawn on VHS I have to call them Wasn't that answered by a real person too?

Yeah, can I have the number of Blockbuster video? They would like an operator. 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

and there's a lot of challenges in today's world, but how easy it is to have everything at your fingertips. Just a new set of challenges. Jeff in New York State, Kavino and Rich. What's up, man? Yeah, I was calling out. I remember playing fantasy football pre-internet.

Oh, my God. How many calculations did you have to do? Right. Break out the calculator, Jeff. Chris in Nevada. And they used fax machines. 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. That's insane. You would have to wait. Like, oh, the Dodgers, who won last night?

Late game. We would say they're in the daily news. All right. Chris and Nevada. All right. Y'all got me going way, way back. But what about Bammer? You don't remember that Bammer?

What, Bammer? I feel like he's a punchline. Y'all know about Bammer. We eat? I know. I don't know. Is that a D's nuts joke? I feel like I was being set up.

Yeah, I felt like something was coming. Right? Yeah, exactly. 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.

Go up, A.Z. Hey, how's it going, guys? Thanks for taking the phone call. No problem. 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. Or how about just using a map, period. I don't know how I did that growing up. If you handed a kid nowadays a map, they would be so confused. No. Looking back, I'm amazed I survived that era because I'm like, how did I get anywhere? What do you say? BeKind Rewind.

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-Hull. If you return your blockbuster video without rewinding it...

No, you'd get charged a little fine. It's like $1.50, wasn't it? Yeah, but I feel like that was a reflection of like, what type of person are you? Rich, what are you going to do when your son, Benny says, well, dad, how did you watch smut? Well, dad... Are you going to explain them, like, scrambled smut?

Or are you going to tell him about, like, sneaking in to find your dad's not? I'm going to 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. See, now that's a lost art that they'll never really understand. And, you know, and know what I had to do, son, I had to put Sports Illustrated covers on club magazines.

Yep, yep, just to keep away from mom. Exactly. 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.

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. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special.

So how did 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 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.

The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis. and I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris,

every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay. Jenchian win. I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lena Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now, and I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving,

well, good luck. Consider this your court-side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque.

Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all. in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Now you can't remember anything because you're so dependent and 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. I'll give you one that. You could argue is still around to wrap this up. No one knows anyone else's phone number anymore or how to get anywhere because you're so reliant on your phone. 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? 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 balance a checkbook. Yeah.

Oh, my God. Are you kidding me? He barely can use his ATM card he just got. 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. It's all so much easier.

Dude, my daughter didn't know how to use money. You know, the other day she needed. That's what I'm saying. They're used to the parents giving them zels. Like, hey, dad, zel me money. I'm like, Melody, just give him the cash and they'll give you the change. So you go, well, how does that work? I'm like, what?

Or like you want to get a dollar back? And so you give someone like a $5. And if it's $4 and if it's $4. And they're so confused. They have a lack of understanding of a lot. And again, your answer is at Covino. and Rich, we throw it back every Thursday. Right now we're live from the tire rack.com studio.

And be sure to check out the YouTube channel. In fact, our bonus podcast overpromised, 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, a 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. Yeah. And she came home with a Dodgers hat and I was like sort of angry about this. I love those people that took her to the game. My mom. Not my mom.

My wife was like, you do call her mama once in a while. No, my wife does. My wife forget sometimes and she'll call me dad and daddy like in public. I'm like, you know, the kids aren't here. Oh, because she's so used to referring. He's the daddy. Yeah. Hey, daddy.

Yes. So my wife says this to me. My wife says this to me, and I looked at her like, I'm like, going to a time machine? What is 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, oh, just send her the game. I'll text to parents if you want anything. Will Zell 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 card.

phone. We live in a different world. I don't blame your daughter, man. Our parents used to have to pin $5 onto our shirt for a field trip. Right. Now, 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. Got to wait again. What, Friday, right? Continues on Friday. Yeah, the final playing games, but I think the eyes are all on Saturday. And did you see Anthony Edwards? He was pretty vocal day. me G saying, oh, he talks a lot. It goes like, listen, I know that

no one wants us to win. No one wants to 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 the role of spoiler and Bracing it. Underdog. But 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 Kauai 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 in the Western Conference. Jimmy Butler's attitude. I mean, again, he's playoff Jimmy. this is when he steps it up, but I love that he gives Steph the credit he deserves, and that's why it works. She's like, I'll be his robin to his Batman all the 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 well. I think the Western Conference 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 clear. Clippers, who played great this year. The fact that the Clippers are going to Denver, like I said, T-Wolves, Lakers, Warriors, Rockets, and then the one throwaway series.

We'll probably get to see Oklahoma City dominate round one against whoever. How about AD last night, though? And Clay Thompson found the fountain of youth. You know what, Danny, you could argue that if AD and Clay and that team gets it together. Oh, if Kyrie hadn't got hurt. AD was in the zone. Everything about him was in the zone. body language, the way he played.

Yeah, we talked about it. His 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. Well, the big story

today is, you know, we started off with Aaron Rogers. There's two big stories in the news and that's Aaron Rogers and that's Dean 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. Vane thrombosis sounds like something you get when you see a good-looking girl pass. Vane thrombosis. Deep vein thrombosis. Man, take your eyes over her.

I'm getting some vein thribosis. So that's a, talk about perfect timing, though. And when it counts and when it matters, that's big, big news in the NBA. Well, for more updates, let's go to our buddy, Dan, the Dame news is pretty big for the Eastern Conference. Yeah, yeah, interesting, because 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've got to get past this Pacer series.

No doubt. 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 o'clock Eastern time. Couple of other notes from the NBA. Grizzies Guard, John Morant, game time decision for tomorrow. And the Kings are hiring former Nix GM,

Scott Perry, as their new general manager. Day baseball, this is what happened in the 9th in Cincinnati. Here's the stretch by Pagan and the pitch on the way. Swinging a well-hit ball. Deep the left field down the line. It is gone. Goodbye baseball. Randy a rose arena with a line shot home run.

We are tied at seven. Back to back homers on the Mariners Radio Network. And then Seattle would add four in the tent. They topped the Reds today. 11 to 7. How about this in Pittsburgh? Here's the 0-1. Swing the deep fly ball to right.

He's hit another one. Oh, look out. Home run. He's getting mad. He's getting nasty. O'Neill Cruz with another home run. Yeah, that was the only run of the game. They topped the nationals.

1-0 of that lead off home run in the first inning Pirates Radio Network. There are A-sweep the White Sox winning today, 8-0. Domenebacks over the Marlins, 6-4. Phillies just beat the Giants by a score of 6-4. 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. Freeh, a quarterback Eric Rodgers 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 their competitors, but mad respect to Lee Corso. Yeah, no doubt. Back to you guys. Thank you, Dan Byron. And by the way, that Mariners at Cincinnati game you started with, not only that Rosa Rania hit that home run. In the 10th inning, he had a double, which scored two runs and moved the runner over to third. He's returning back to World Baseball Classic Rose Arena because people miss that a Rosarena.

They were up 5-3, blew the lead in the bottom of the 8th, tied it in the top of the 9th, and then went in the 10th and did what Rich said. That's a good game. Thank you, Dan Byer. Good seeing you, buddy. You too, fellas. All right. Listen, we got more Kavine 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. Fourth and really short, actually. An amazing idea that I think should still be on the table. We'll explain next right here on Fox Sports Radio. Tires matter.

I want to pay with you everywhere. It's in a bathtub. So check out the teaser that drops today in the commercial on Saturday during the basketball games this weekend.

I love it. Now, there's a story out of the football world. Mike Leach, sort of a wild head coach back of the day in college football. Big personality type of guy. Washington State, Mississippi State. He was a bit of a wild guy. A bit eccentric. Third most winning, is it winningest?

Third most winningest coach in Mississippi State history. Most people know them for Washington State. In Texas Tech. And there's a story, Danny G. That this is a legend. Barstool published it as well. The legend of this first was told in 2023, but NFL read it and Barstool picked us up again yesterday.

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? You get a little guy? And this sounds like the most Mike Leach thing ever. By the way, can you just honestly visualize and imagine that for a minute? Like how wild that would actually be so ridiculous to think about.

Forget the Tush push. Dwarf and goal. I mean, fourth and goal. Speaking of, there was a three foot seven. professional baseball player Chicago native Eddie is Eddie Gatel who had 3-7 and 65 pounds

was the smallest man to ever play a major baseball Maybe he tried to draw a walk And I think it was to try to draw a walk It was to draw a walk but it is a real story I think it was Was it the Browns or something I mean what year was it? It was

1951 Yeah I wasn't around to witnesses No but it's a true story And you've heard the legend I'm sure We've all seen that picture Of the little guy at the plate 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, amen. And they said, all right, on fourth and short situations,

we're going to have, like, D.K. Medcaf pick you up and toss you two yards. Come on. How do you do that? 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? Or do you, how do you do it? Over the head?

Like an underhand basketball shot? Like a soccer, like a soccer ball, like inbound? Like an inbound. No, I would say like an underhand basketball shot. Like when you lift, like when you lift Rich up in the studio to change the light bulb. Oh, just like that. Oh. But what if there's like a Lavar Arrington who just comes, jumps into the air and like smacks him out of the air?

And by the way, we're not laughing at the little person in the story. We're laughing at the idea. From Mike. 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 it is linked to him. Yeah, pun it around.

But don't act like little people, you know, either get aggravated by this or they lean into it. Remember the man show? and there's Bachelor parties that hire little people. We used to have a friend, no joke, a guy named Chuck Love, rest in peace. He passed away. He was great. He had a company, Hirelittlepeople.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. Touchdown. Or test. Come on. Tush push. Forget that. I'm about the fourth in dwarf. Hey, man.

If Al Tuve is in the big leagues, anything's possible. That's true. All right. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Arima that you, baby. See you in the overpromised land. Let's go. I don't know if Ralphie'll let you pit him. 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're the first people to do podcasts.

Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akila Hughes, and Rebel Spirit season two is about both of those things.

As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black city in which there were more old. homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people.
