Got wire on the updates here in La and Spawny Boy on the videos. You could play along at home at Covino and rich and Dicky Doodle. Davis is out there in Texas. Remember the last time you were in Texavis, The last time actually it was years ago. It's a funny story just to tell you about the type of guy Rich is. And I say this, uh respectfully. Rich Davis is such a hyped up, jittery guy that some old Texas woman called the police Unrich because he was pacing around a parking lot on the phone. And she was like, uh, nine one one is a crazy man in the parking lot.
I'm just reporting this crazy maniac.
Really, he's just got this East Coast energy about him, and he just stands out like a sore thumb, just a.
Wacko old lady that couldn't take my, you know, enthusiasm.
I guess I'm on the phone just.
You know, you order food. I'm standing in the parking lot making a phone call. And yeah, this woman's like, I think he's I think he stalk it out the place.
I think he's on the drugs or something.
But hey, Rich is a really hyper dude. We live out here in LA. We're from the East Coast. Always happy to be in for the Dan Patrick Show eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. If you want to get involved today or hit us at Covino and Rich to see our stupid faces or to chime in, and we have lots to get to. We're giving away prizes today Iron Mike Trivia. Iron Mike stops by and we do multiple choice trivia.
We give away swiggies, which are like.

They're shiny, nice blue metallic CNR on FSR water bottle. You could win one by leaving a review when you follow our podcast or play Iron Mike Trivia.
Later today we're gonna talk Aaron.
Rodgers, YadA, hear Molina, maybe some firework action, but we gotta talk Jason Tatum bro I mean.
Largest contract in NBA history, following obviously a title for the Lakers. I mean, I guess that's that's when you get it right, when you.
When you win the NBA title, you're the guy that's like, I want the money. That's why.
Also, when you.
Try to sell your team, right, you gotta sell your team. Yeah, you gotta strike. While the Irons hot Wick Rossback is selling the team, they say it's worth five point one billion dollars, the fourth highest in the NBA. He'll probably get a lot more than that, because again, they just won. They signed some superstars, but again, Jalen Brown, your NBA Finals MVP last year, signed for a three hundred and four million dollar extension. Jason Tatum got the super Max deal, the largest in NBA history, five year, three hundred and fourteen million dollar deal. And you know, a lot of moves are being made this week, and you guys say, WHOA all right? You know NBA looks different every year, but some big names Klay Thompson obviously to the MAVs, Chris Paul to the Spurs, Jason Tatum signing, re signing again with the Celtics. And it's insane the type of money these guys are getting. But again, you just said it. They just won. You got negotiating power. I look at that from a personal standpoint of when our contract is up, when anyone's contract is up, or when they're fighting for their job, what could they do to really seal that deal and make it sweet.
It's what everyone thinks.
Personally. I'm saying it about two years rich, you better start bringing the heat. You better come out with something controversial where Fox has to sign CNR for a sweet three year extension the Supermax deal. You gotta yeah, you gotta get a radio Supermax deal. You gotta raise your profile. I think there's something to be said about that. For as corny as Jason Tatum may appear right on social media with his quotes and the things he says, and how contrived he appears to be with his statements after winning, like he gets a lot of heat on social media. The dude still wins and the dude still produces, so none of that matters and he's coming up with winning season.
Do you think Jason Tatum cares that people make fun of him hugging the NBA title trophy?
Do you think do you think people care about People know he's corny.
But he has eyes and ears, and he's a young man with a phone in his hand, and he's on social media, so he sees it. But at the beginning, middle and end of the day, he gets the last laugh with this super fat contract.
So props to him.
Yes, super Max.
You know, I look at the numbers and I really do feel like our grandparents would would lose their mind that these numbers. Do you remember the stuff that would like make your grandparents get mad. Yeah, the world's going to hell in a handbasket. And they would always complain about money or things in society.
Like Danny G.
Before the show, you were saying that, uh was it Dave Winfield, Danny G that you're that you remember cigning that million dollar deal in your family got all med.
Yeah, when Dave Winfield made history with that big one million dollar contract when we were little kids, I remember my grandmother cursing.
And think about this. Yeah, because our grandparents were all racist. Probably I was part of part of it that wasn't in it.
She's like, they're playing a kid's game.
You're gonna make them millionaires.
Oh, but they grew up at a time when guys like you know, Yogi Bearn whitey Ford worked at a car wash in the offseason. So to them, you know, baseball and basketball, it was a sport. They got paid handsomely.
And by the way, that's but a lot of those players you look them up, I mean they were fighting in wharfs. Obviously, they were running dry cleaners and car washes, and they had to have other jobs to survive.
Because selling lots of insurance.
Yeah, they were selling cars, they were doing all sorts of stuff just to get by. Now, Jason Tatum is expected to make around seventy one million come twenty twenty nine, twenty thirty, which will make him the first ever seventy million player in league history as of now, again based on this five year Supermax deal he signed with the with the Celtics.
To me, but that post is a really good question.
It does pose the question of first of all, before we get into what would shock your old family members the most about society in twenty twenty four, I want to take you through the history of NBA contracts. Let's do it real quick, like I mean, let's go back to like before we were born, just to give some.
Perspective and to go back in time.
Dude, I'll give you, I'll give you a name. I'll give you a name, and you tell me what you think the contracts.
Give me that nonsense, because I wouldn't even know where to start.
Well, that's out of the fun of it. This is not the fun of it.
It's fun for you because you got the answers right in front of you, trying to put us on the spot.
I don't want t Beck, I wouldn't even know. No, you're not. You're like Trump, No you're not. I don't know. You're trim bunk tri bunk, thank you. No, but you'll the'll u. Yeah, he did look arrogant, rest in peace because he had the answers.
He had the answers in front of him. But it's a fun activity. It's you're not gonna look stupid.
Of course.
I am just go because I'm not gonna know where to start with this.
Nineteen sixty the highest paid player was Wilt Chamberlain the nineteen fifty nine sixty season. What do you think Wilt was making intety sixty? I honestly, I was a little boy. I have no idea where to start.
If Dave Winfield signed the first million dollar contract in the eighties, Wilt Chamberlain in the sixties, I don't know, that's not common knowledge. Let's say he was making three hundred a year A.
Well, you know what, I'm glad you said that because there's no wrong answer, because this will just show you the perspective as to why.
It's like, what are they making now?
Wilt Chamberlain in nineteen fifty nine sixty made thirty thousand dollars a.
Year, and I see that's ridiculous. Now I'm going down Chamberlain, the biggest name in the game. Fifty nine sounds a lot further back, I thought it was like a nineteen sixty deal. Not that that makes a huge difference, but it doesn't sound like fifty something.
Don't worry, I'll get in the Dolorean. Let's move, Let's go nineteen sixties. In the sixties, Wilt was still the highest paid player. He signed a five year deal to take him throughout the sixties for sixty five.
Thousand dollars a year.
And then the big deal was in nineteen sixty six when Bill Russell signed the deal for one hundred thousand dollars.
Man.
Yeah, see that's ridiculous. No whether our parents or grandparents are having heart attacks here and this stuff.
And then and by the way, back to Danny g story of Dave Winfield.
Think of it from this perspective, shocking when he signed the first one million dollar contract and he was a dude that was drafted in like every major sport football, basketball, and baseball, and it was still left with the feeling of he was undecerving of that when he was like an elite athlete with potential in every game.
And to put it into perspective, you guys mentioned the year nineteen sixty six, the average home in the United States at that time was twenty two thousand dollars.
Oh, so that also looking back, you gotta figure some of these guys maybe were even a little underpaid because of the stigma of they're just playing sports as a kid's game. That probably had something to do with it, because they were still packing in the seats.
Percentage wise, because they were making more than your grandpappy working at the factory.
You know. It was they're playing a game and they're making all this money.
But perspective wise, it percentage wise, it was still peanuts for compared to the percentages. Now, all right, let me just take it through the history of this just to show you where we ended up. Then the Lakers decided to pony up Danny j your Lakers because they gave Will two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in nineteen sixty nine.
And then then the money started adding up.
My brother makes that doing appraisals. Nowadays. It's crazy how how much it's changed.
Yeah, Pete Maravich and by the way I'm resacuating.
But you gotta figure a superstar like that making two hundred and fifty and it was a big deal.
Yeah, but it was also fifty sixty years ago. Yeah, how much Tariff made. He made three eighty in the early seventies for the Hawks.
Yeah, but rich, we're talking about superstars of the day. When you realize that that Jason Tatum is going to be making seventy million a year, that's a huge leap.
Our grandparents would have never believed that though, of course.
Because you know, we always think back to, hey, what did your parents?
What do you think your parents made in the seventies and eighties, And it was tens of thousands of dollars, No, like one hundred thousand dollars.
When we were kids, was.
Like like goals, dreams. And now in the twenty twenties, like you've seen the minimum cost of living in certain big cities, it's ridiculous.
So I'll fast forward quick.
You get to the mid nineteen seventies, Kareem Abdul Jabbar signed another deal and he was making six hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and that was when it was like, he's the best player in the world.
But can you believe he's making six hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Yeah, well, guess what, Grandpa Menzio, you're not seven foot tall winning championships. There was a market, and you know, now we're starting to sound like, okay, that's sound about right. That sounds about right for the times. In my opinion, Kareem Abdul Jabbar was a massive figure in sports at that time.
Keep in mind the NBA, the ABA, they weren't making the money the NBA is making now. So there's also you got to remind yourself the NBA's were astronomically bigger and more financially sound than it was fifty sixty years ago. Until the eighties, the NBA wasn't it was you know, it was small potatoes compared to like Major League Baseball.
All right, here's the turning point and we'll move on.
Nineteen seventy nine eighty that's when Moses Malone and Bill Walton made a million dollars each. Then in eighty one it was like doctor J Moses, I guess anyone in the basketball it was my favorite sport.
Anyone. Curtis blow shouted out.
Yeah, doctor j Moses Malone, Kareem Bill Walton, that made a million dollars. Then in eighty two eighty three it started being two million dollars. The big jump Dandy g from two three four million dollars was.
In ninety one. Larry Bird made seven mil. Baller in ninety four.
Magic Johnson's like double that up fourteen mil the next year. Youing in nineteen ninety five is like nah, nah eighteen and then as he began.
That makes sense too, because we give lots of credit to the rivalry between Magic Chohlenson and Larry Bird. We give a lot of credit for them pushing the NBA to where it is now. So you could see they were pushing the contracts as well.
Merchandise and the TV contract money started coming in at that point.
Well, I want you to keep in mind that this may be the case with a guy like Otani, where you see a guy make a certain amount of money and then the market goes backwards because it's like, all right, that's good and all, but that's because he's show hey Otani. Because in the late nineties, when Jordan was in the middle the second three peet, that number jumped up to thirty three million dollars a year, but then after he left the league, it went back to the twenties again.
For a long time.
So Michael Jordan for a couple of years was paid what we think Michael Jordan should be paid.
And we bring this up again because Jason Tatum signing a five year, three hundred and what is again, five year supermax three hundred and four million dollars. No, Jalen Browns had the three hundred and four million dollar extension. It's the three fourteen deal. I'm seeing three thirteen point nine, three point fifteen, And again he'll be the first seventy million dollar man, seventy one million and twenty twenty nine largest in NBA history. And based on that, we're going through the evolution, and based on that, we're saying, in today's world of sports and just life in general, what would are grandparents be most shocked by?
Ooh, that's a great question.
And by the way, just for the record, I might as well finish it out twenty teens and twenty twenties.
It was all Steph Curry.
He took it from twenty to thirty to forty to fifty and now it's just out of care Field. Now now it's Johnnison ad made sixty. They're gonna be making sixty in the late twenty twenties, Jalen Brown sixty five.
And twenty twenty eight.
Because you can project what the players are gonna make then unless someone out does that. And of course now Jason Tatum. So it's insane. Your grandparents be most shocked at it's insane.
But we often say, because there's still gonna be people in today's world to say, you kidding me, they're overpaid. Clearly they're not. They wouldn't be making this money if they weren't generating this type of money, if they weren't this valuable. Plus Jalen Brown coming off the NBA Finals, MVP season, Jason Tatum winning his championship. These guys have that value. These guys have proven it now. Yeah, and we were talking about Cove.
We were talking about the value of the Boston Celtics in our pre show meeting because they're going to be on the sale block and not sell block, sale block, and they're worth about six billion dollars. You know they're probably gonna sell for more than that.
Yeah, this is when they got to make it happen. So based on these crazy numbers, which sound crazy to us because we're not chasing Tatum, we're not winning championships, what would our grandparents be most shocked to hear in today's world of sports, entertainment life? What comes to mind for you think about your grandparents, our grandparents generation For the most part, I feel like died when Willie May's died, he represented that generation in my mind. We talked about it on our show.
And if you're roughly fortyish, there's a good chance your grandparents aren't here anymore, so you know that generation is gone.
But what would they have been the most shocked by?
I have a bunch of examples in my head, and we're gonna go over all of them, and we'll take your feedback. Cavino and rich In for the great Dan Patrick, as we say, Hey, congratulations, Jason Tatum, you're now the richest man in the NBA. And your teammate Jylen Brown, he's right there with you. Guys that are making fifty sixty plus million dollars a year, which is a far departure from your grandfather being mad that Dave Winfield made a million dollars or.
Could you believe Nolan ryang Is paid that to throw a baseball? Like that was the sentiment.
But I have a couple other quickies and we'll break and take your phone calls. How about just the simple I mean, some of it's costs, some of it's just social stuff.
How about the simple cost of.
If you go out to a nice restaurant Cavino, paying twenty dollars for like a fancy cocktail and eighty dollars for a steak.
Is shocking.
I mean, some of these prices today are shocking to us, and we're living it.
Like what is going on here? You go to how'mu to a Vegas?
You go to a Vegas restaurant, and you know, you get some old fashion that's called the whiskey business, and it's like, oh, top shelfist twenty three dollars.
How much is the filet mignon? Oh seventy four dollars. Real's that's fair, your grandparents.
We're living in airport prices now. Yeah, everything's an airport price forty osra sandwich. That makes sense, all right? So think about that, guys. Based on the Tatum news, all these moves happening in the NBA, the things your grandparents will be most shocked by. We're gonna get to your feedback and your phone calls at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
We'll get to him.

Good morning, Welcome back to the Dan Slam. Day two of the Dan Slam. We're here through Thursday lucky you, Covino and Rich and for Dan Patrick always fund. I'm Steve Cavino. Just a kid from Union, New Jersey. And that's Race Davis, just a kid from Franklin Square, Long Island out there in Texas. Covino and Rich. We got Danny g on the phones at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. We got Joel and Mark on the ones and twoes and spots on the videos again play along at home at COO and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. I'm excited to talk about the largest bust in history, Rich, if we have time. I'm sorry, the largest the largest fireworks bus.
What's her name, there's you know, listen, there's people that got ten fingers now and the sad reality is in four days, come this weekend, they will not right.
So there was a big fireworks story we might get to if we have time, because we got to talk Aaron Rodgers and we got Trivia Iron Mike Trivia. But right now talking Jason Tatum and this super Max deal. He signed five year, three fourteen and again out doing his teammate Jeanlin Brown. He signed an extension last year for three hundred and four million, and we talked about the progression every year, people just out doing each other.
Yeah, it's it's wild when you look back at the most you know, successful highest paid NBA players throughout history, because we went back to the sixties and Wilt Chamberlain was making sixty thousand dollars, and then it was a big deal when Bill Russell made six figures, and then you got to the million dollar guys like Doctor j and Moses Malone all the way up until, like you said, through Magic and Larry Bird and Michael Jordan and Steph Curry hit that next benchmark of forty to fifty mil and it's out of control.
And they when you talk.
About the Celtics being worth five six billion dollars.
Billions and billions and billions and billions, can you know, it just seems like.
A hell of a lot of money when you think about and when like.
Steinbreder billions Steinbreder bought the Yankees for ten million dollars in the early seventies.
That always sticks with me.
But as you can tell, athletes and celebrities always want to invest in sports franchises because they always go up in value.
How much more value? How much are we gonna be?
Old?
Man, and it's like the Celtics are eighty billion dollars? Is that what it's gonna be?
I don't know, But this Jason Tatum deal has gotten everyone talking again the largest in NBA history. Some other big moves this week, as you know, Klay Thompson to the MAVs three year, fifty million, Chris Paul to the Spurs one year, eleven million, but this Jason Tatum deal puts him as the first seventy plus million dollar guy in twenty twenty nine as of now. So based on all that, based on all this money talk, cash rules everything around me. Aside from all this money talk, what are some other things our grandparents would be most shocked by if they were around, you know, our grandparents' generation, Like Danny g said, we're shocked to hear they were making a.
Million dollars at one point. Yeah. So again, look, they grew up one we all remember.
They grew up in the era of Yogi Bearra was again working at a dry cleaner on the off season. Yeah he was good at baseball, but he still ran a dry cleaner. And Rich I remember when my grandfather was offended that when gas got over one dollar He's like, I fought for this country to be free.
He's on Ventura Boulevard where it's like six dollars shell.
That might be one of the answers. Wait, gas is how much? So we're going to your feedback. We like to get people involved on the Cavino and Rich show. Give you a chance to be a local legend. Yeah, I heard you on the radio. Hey, hey, I heard you on Fox Sports Today eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. What are some of the things that come to mind immediately for you? I know Rich has a bunch that he wants to get to. But let's not take away from who do we got?
Who do we got?
Here?
Danny g Gliff in Indiana?
What up, Cliff? You're on the show.
Hey, good morning you guys. It's good to hear you in the am.
Thanks man, What up?
Man?
So a couple of things I was thinking. So like, in fifty nine, the average income was five thousand dollars. That's that's pretty wild, but so yeah, but.
Thinking away, think of the percentages though, Cliff, five thousand dollars. So if if Wilton nineteen fifty nine was making what was it? What was the number sixty thousand dollars, you know, it's it's roughly ten times.
God. Yeah, the next year he made sixty he doubled the sellary.
So let's just say even five to ten times, that would be like an athlete now making five to ten times what you make, and they do not make five to ten times what you make. If let's say you make one hundred, grand athletes are, that would be like them making five hundred or you know, five hundred thousand or a million, not the case.
Sure. The other thing is the thing our grandparents would be most shocked about is how much we pay to watch football on television.
You know, there was some crazy sat A meme that went viral.
Wasn't an accurate meme, but you're trying to point out how if you wanted to watch every game, how much it would cost you per year, and it was something ridiculous. I'm gonna try to find that right now because of all the streaming services that they're airing at, but it was per year. Spot if you could find it, how much it would cost if you wanted to watch every game in the NFL. Yeah, it's it's shocking, for sure, especially for an old person. I mean we're not old, and we're starting to feel that way now, we're like, wait, how much?
What?
So you can imagine what our grandparents generation would think if they hurt some of these numbers.
Jason Tatum, who's that seventy million a year?
What?
Yeah, well, Grandpa, he just won and you know, he made all these cool speeches and everything.
It says apparently between eight hundred and fifty and sixteen hundred dollars.
To watch every NFL game in twenty twenty four if you bought every service set they're streaming on.
But that would also insinuate you don't use them for anything but football. You have a lot of these because you watch, you know, some shows on those networks.
Some people are singularly focused Rich, Right, what Rich is saying?
It's not accurate because you have you have let's just say cable who has time to watch more than every NFL not just for the NFL.
Right, But that's how much it would cost.
I think what's funny is we're talking about all these numbers for athletes. There's there's people that talk about sports don't even play them. They didn't There's in an article that Stephen A wants like twenty something million from ESPN.
Wants that money to talk about sports, not even play him. He knows his value, that's all.
There's also a lot of power in being able to prove that you're putting asses in the seats that you could win.
Look, Jason Tatum just won. Let's keep that in mind.
Make that money.
Make that money. And Steven A. Smith, even though I think's blasphemy, I'm just kidding. I look, hey, let him get paid. He knows his value, knows his worth. If he deserves that, let him fight for it.
Now, I have a handful of you, abody, just zip through these. These are things I think our grandparents generation would be shocked.
And the phone calls are coming in rich. As I've been saying for years.
Light them up, shake hand o, light it up.
Even saying that for yeah, yeah, yeah, shout out to our buddy Scott.
How about I'll go controversial first, then I'll go more light. Okay, our grandparents would be shocked about some of the trans athletes stuff. Can you picture your grandparents' response to wait, they were born a guy and now they're competing with women.
Not one grandparent would be like, I get it. They with no way on Earth.
You say that's controversial. To me, it sounds like just common thought. You don't think, I think everybody. Even if you have trans people in your immediate family as we I bet you your grandparents would be shocked to hear that. Wait, what greed, I'm just saying your grandparents they would be like, what are you talking about?
All right?
Other things your grandparents' generation would be shocked about based off of Jason Tatum making all this money. How about simply how we handle our children from discipline, how you like helicopter parents watching every move their kid does, like run was a kid like you know, they were like shining, choose and working when they were like seven.
So your grandparents would be shocked.
What do you mean you don't hit your kids? What do you mean you what do you mean you don't let them just go out? They'd be shocked by that. They'd be shocked by our generation caring what strangers said on social media. Wait, you don't know them, no, grandpa, then what do you care?
That was one of the first things that came to mind from me, just the way our lives revolve around social media. It's kind of gross, it really is. It's absolutely gross. You know, I get those updates, those you spent how much time on social media this week's usually around like eight hours a day. Now, I justify it because I say to myself, well, I work in entertainment, radio media.
I need to know.
You think I knew a lot more, but I don't.
But I need to know.
I feel like I need to be involved in what's going on. So that's my justification. But can you imagine if our grandparents knew how much time we're wasting on a phone. I think they'd be most shocked by Yes, trans athletes that came to mind as well, rich, But how we could all sit in a room together and.
We're not talking.
We're not hanging out the way they used to, busting out in Enttiman's cake and drinking coffee and discussing the day. Yeah right, We're not hanging out talking about her day over Sanka. We're there in front of our phones scrolling when our family is right there and friends are right there in the same room. I think that's probably the most shocking, aside from Jason Tatum making three hundred and fifteen million Hey.
Listen, based on some of the big families that were around back then.
Eight hours a day job. They were no strangers to getting it on. I mean, you know, some of our grandparents were like one of twelve kids. But I think they would be shocked not trying to get smoty here. I think they would be shocked by the categories on smut sites, Like what if people look at.
That?
Yeah, not just that.
How about my grandmother if she was still with us, seeing the hawk to a video?
What is it?
She would be like, get your good clothes on, we're going to church right now.
You know, think about it.
You wouldn't even be able to explain that to you. Even though they weren't angels, we get that we're all here because of them, right, they wouldn't even get It's like you ever talk to your mom about something or a joke comes up, or a reference in a movie and she just doesn't get it, and you wonder is she playing naive or does she really not get it? I think they don't get it. Your grandpa generation really wouldn't get it. Yeah, grandma, And then she said, hoktuah, spin on that thing. And now she's famous overnight. Yeah, uh huh, and people are interviewing her and yeah, she's on stage at the concert and yeah, and now she's probably worth a few million dollars. Wait, what what does that mean? They wouldn't even be able to comprehend that. It's ridiculous, but it should put things in perspective for us. Rich, I'm not gonna get all righteous or anything, but some of these things are just not right. Like you mentioned, uh, the availability that we have and our fingertips to search the smuttiest things in the world, like when you think about it, Yeah, it's life changing. And yes, I may sound like a hypocrite even saying.
This, but is it that great?
Listen when to come from their perspective. If you're gonna say, what are your parents shocked about?
The most?
Again, based on our grandparents are always being fascinated by dead athlete makes a million dollars, Well, guess what, Jason Tatum just signed a super max deal, uh for over three hundred million dollars.
Well, Rich, it worked.
It worked, by the way, when I said let them up now, the phones are all hot, so we're gonna have to get to We got Trip Austin, Nick, JP, J, Only, Poney, Anthony, a lot of people on standby, So can we say, hank tight, We're gonna get to all your phone calls and more Hank tight.
Here's my top three if you want to debate it.
Hank tight like riches summer shorts, the hank tight, like these little myth thighs.
Like rich freely tight. Stockton's the three.
Things our parents, our grandparents would be shocked by if they were still with us. Number one obviously what you said, the money athletes make. I think Number two the sexual openness of society at twenty twenty four. And I do think the price of a house has to be up there when.
Your parent were the trans athletes, so they were announced today this week in the Olympics.
I think if you showed your grandparents we bought that house for four thousand dollars and that was a lot of money, and it's like, yeah, Grandma, that house now four million dollars. I don't know your thoughts. Will take your feedback next your boys. Covino rich In for the.

I want to start in veig Gus again. Jason Tatum is gonna be the first seventy million dollar man. He signed the super Max NBA deal, largest in NBA History five year, three hundred and fourteen million. So that just got us thinking about, man, how much money these dudes are making. But what would be the most shocking thing for your grandparents' generation to hear? You know, maybe some of you guys are lucky enough to still have your grandparents around.
What are they what are they most shocked by that?
Let us know?
At eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox Trip McNeely Trip in Vegas.
You're on Cavino and Rich for Dan Patrick.
What's up?
Good morning, gentlemen. So's up? I got more of us? Well, what's just out for a morning walk in Las Vegas? Had to get up early to hear y'all?
Nice man?
Yeah, always so. My grandfather in the seventy eight seventies bought tires for his car at Sears. Remember how they used to be just a fifty thousand miles warranty. Now there's a year wanting. Well, he swears because he took his tires back ten years later, and you only enjoyed his car like one thousand miles a year. They had dry robins and they only had ten thousand miles on him. They wouldn't he swear. She's the reason that when he was alive that they changed it to five years of fifty thousand miles.
He's the reason. He's the reason. He's the reason I heard that.
Yeah, Church, Grandpappy, look it up on Wikipedia.
That's awesome.
Thank you for the call again.
We're live from Mercedes Benz Studios, Austin in Florida.
You're on Cavino and Rich.
Hey guys, how you doing, Hey man, what's up buddy?
Hey?
So, yeah, my grandfather passed away right before the pandemic COVID. But one of the things I think he'd be absurd about is not only the price of like beer or kind of food at ballparks, but then the audacity not to be able to pay in cash.
Oh that's a good.
One because my parents, Sir, my dad especially, I don't know how he survives. You know what, next time I talk to my dad, I'm gonna ask him, Hey, Dad, do you know how to use a QR code? Because I'm not sure if he does, I'm really not. And and how he survives, like with apple pain and stuff like that. There's no way he has that on his old guy phone.
There's no way. Well, no way.
I was talking recently, you go to Disneyland, there's no cash or credit cards. Everything's through the app that they force you.
I don't know how he'd get by it like that, because my dad is one of those Italian Guido dudes from New Jersey where he still.
Says till this day, hey cash, he's king. And anytime he has people trying to you know, do work at the house.
Yeah, yeah, so that need.
Stevens guy came to clean my gut. As he said, five hundred dollars. I say, have about four hundred dollars in cash and my dad, my dad still working like he's in the mafia or something, paying people.
Yeah.
I pulled out my not and I gave him for he's so proud of it. I'm like, Dad, you're the only guy operating in cash.
Still.
It's a good one. Look, it's a really good one. Cash is king. I do believe in it, but we just don't carry it around like we used to. Man, believe the cash is to me because I mean, my dad's still working deals. But I guess with other old guys, I don't know, dude, it's a good one. It is shocking.
Oh, let's go to Nick and Kansas. Nick, you're on the show, Cavino and.
Rich, Hey Cavina, thanks for taking my call.
Fellows.
Thanks man, no problem, what's up.
I just wanted to I was just subsekate to mind my grandpa. He would be absolutely over tipping the price of tips when you and who you're exposed to expected to tip.
You know, great one, man, that is such a good one because thinking everyone shoves the iPad in your face.
Now, yeah, where can I ask you a question?
What questions are going to ask us? And they flipping around like it's the magic screen, and ah, it's so aggravating to us. Can you imagine how our grandparents after not paying attention to your table the whole time you were eating. Oh my god, that's you know, I didn't even think of that one. You know, that's a really great answer. I appreciate your call. Look, because not everything would be that shocking, right, I was thinking about, well, what about Aaron Judges. Look at his numbers.
You're like, we'll tell you the put up similar numbers. Look at the Beabe's numbers.
And you're like, yeah, the babe did have pretty some insane numbers. So not everything's as shocking, but Yeah, that tip. Oh that tip rule?
What is that?
We made a new rule, by the way, and it's if if we have to what is it if we have to stand up and order?
Yeah, if you order standing up, no.
Tip, no tip meaning they did nothing. You went there, you ordered it, and you did they did nothing, no tip for you. I still haven't gotten the full set of khons to implement that rule, rich, but I have been cutting back. I've been customizing it, like, yeah, you get a dollar, that's all you're getting. You're not getting eighteen percent nothing. Uh, JP in Michigan JP.
Yeah, it looks like we'll go to Anthony in La Anthony, you're on the show.
Hey, what's up?
Guys?
Hey? You know what?
I love having you guys up in the morning, So I appreciate it.
Man thing.
But yeah, dudey, one of the things I remember growing up playing Little League, I mean it was a one time fee.
You played baseball, your coach coaches you. And now you got these parents.
That are spending thousands of dollars and they got a hitting.
Coach and an outfield coach and.
A pitching coach.
And it's like, dude, what's your coach suposed to do if you had like four of the coaches on the side.
Dude.
There's a lot of people on online on social media setting that travel baseball, travel sports is sort of putting so much pressure on these families, tearing families apart because it's so expensive and it's not consuming the time consuming. There's a story about travel League Baseball with Yadier Molino.
We got to get to next, but I want to wrap up with the phone calls Rich.
There's a lot of people still on hold about what would our grandparents be shocked by?
Well, we'll get to the next. It all starts at this big Celtics deal. And by the way, the thought that the Celtics.
Or your grandparents knew back in the fifties and sixties that they're worth billions, right, that's crazy?
All right?
We got more Covine on Rich and for the Great Dan Patrick next year. The phone Calls at eight, seven, seven, nine nine on Fox
