Hey, they're freaks. Chris andJohn are actually made to each other.
Chris is a Hispanic female and Johnis a Vietnamese male, I believe.
But they combined both cultures together andthat is how you got the great restaurant
that is Chris and John GC.The app is called Skyview. It's the
(00:21):
Speak Easy on ninety seven one.The freak was a good up you hear
that figured you Google, start appgazing and find you one. And then
that guy really wanted you to knowthat. I'm glad that he did.
He addressed you by name. Thatwas helpful. It was helpful for TC.
He was rather emphatic, which toldme he doesn't like you, but
(00:42):
he was giving me helpful information.Well maybe so, but people can do
that and still not like it.I think you read into the take it
something, Mike. I don't know. I don't think I did. I
don't think that came across. Idon't think I think it did come across.
I felt like he loves TC.He didn't say TCU bitch. Here's
the app. People who don't likeme but still give me useful information are
(01:02):
some of the best people. Yeah. Oh, because there's no threat of
conversation after that, you just givewhat you need and pluce a testament to
their character. They help out peoplewho they like and don't like equally.
Yeah, that's living Jesus' message everyday. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's true. We should all tryand do that. A line somewhere along
that path was uttered in either episodetwo or three of Deadwood that I watched
(01:26):
in the last twelve hours, somethingalong lines of if you can respect those
even who you don't like something somethingSo did they do the mouth fart at
the start? No mouth fart,no, no, no, no,
might have been a gunshot. Ibelieve that same general thought was at least
once or twice a part of theHBO original series The Wire. Ah,
(01:49):
it's a wonderful show. Top five, top three, top two, as
far as I'll go. Okay,maybe top one, definitely top two.
All right, we'll ponder that alittle bit further. Maybe have Jeff lay
the top five out for us lateron today. I'd be interested in that.
I got you, all right,I can do it. Blow out
(02:10):
audio boxes, I do it rightnow. Yeah. Well, whatever we
do, let's do this first andponder it. Look, everyone, it's
me at the sports desk number fiveTV show. Hold on, I'll say
(02:30):
one is that one, two isthat one? Three's probably that one,
four and five are open for business. I'd have to think about it.
But Breaking Bad the Wire, Gameof Thrones are in the top three for
sure, and then I'll have toupdate you dead Woods in the mix,
though, I tell you that it'sall rights. Go two for three.
(02:52):
There the Mavericks. One, youhaven't seen game? This is zero chance
you've seen a Game of Thrones episode, right, I've seen an episode or
two. Did you like the dragons? They were neat? Did you see
dragons? They're not in most ofthe episodes, but they're in some Well
I had heard are read on theinternet or something that they're going to be
a part of the week's upcoming episode. So I watched. Hell yeah,
(03:13):
despite the fact that I had noearthly idea what was going on and who
was who and what they were toeach other or anything, that's okay.
If you saw his waiting for dragons, if you saw Callisi on Dragonback laying
waste to people, we've got somegood stuff. Yeah that was pretty awesome.
Yeah. Uh, the Mavericks wontheir game last night. It was
a basketball game, and they wentahead and won one, nine ninety five
(03:36):
against the Atlanta Hawks. Our MAVsnow forty six and thirty fifth seed in
the West, two games behind theClippers for fourth, one game ahead of
Phoenix and the Pelicans, and twogames up on the Kings. So get
comfy. You are snuggled in,I think, pretty well into the spot
where TC wants them to be,and you're barreling towards a first round matchup
as the road team against the LAClippers. Unless things get walky on you.
(04:00):
That appears to be where we're headedwith six games left, if they
do about what we expect them todo. Boy, I was gonna check
the NBA standings even though you justgave them to me. I just want
to make sure I got it friendlyin my mind, I don't understand why
you think I would like to you. So I went to ESPN dot com.
Yeah, their their top story,how the crypto fallout is impacting some
top athletes and sports figures. There'san illustration. Would you like to know
(04:25):
he's in the middle of the illustration. I'm aware who it is, but
go ahead. The man who justsold a large steak of his basketball team,
possibly related to his crypto investments.Mark Cuban. Yep, hmmm,
yep, does that all be Ilook forward to reading that story back to
you, Jeff. I had like, I have it and I can take
(04:45):
you through it. But I don'tknow what it all means necessarily. But
yeah, you know how much ofthe crypto people got in trouble because it
turns out that they were fraudsters andstuff. Sam Bankman freed people of the
silk Yeah, and he was likeFTX. Mark Cubans is something called the
Voyager Digital and he and the Mavericksare the defendants in the case. He's
(05:08):
accused of inducing plaintiffs to open interestbearing accounts with Voyager Digital when he said
during a MAVs news conference in Octobertwenty twenty one that he had personally invested
in the company. The Mavericks latertweeted that customers who downloaded the app,
created an account and deposited one hundreddollars and made one trade would receive one
hundred dollars in free bitcoin. AndI don't know how it works that he's
(05:32):
sued and what his stance is.It's all a bunch of words that I'm
not real sure what it all means, but people are basically saying, hey,
you I lost money. I'm comingafter the cubes. Yeah, he
just had a lot of money anda thing that turned out to be fraud.
I don't think that he himself wasaware of the fraud. But the
upshot of it is is the moneyhe had in it is worth a lot
(05:54):
less money than the money he putin. Now, I see Ronaldo was
involved in this too, and RinaldoI think is part of the Let me
double check, but I think hemight have been an FTX one. Oh
no, yeah he is. Welllet's say your guy. No no no,
no, no no no. Ronaldois Tom Brady's FTX. Yeah.
The other one in the photo,Well, Ronaldo was involved in it.
(06:17):
So was Ronaldo probably probably? Yeah. I was wonder if that was gonna
come up. One follows the otherlike what he follows night. Rinaldo is
being sued in the Binance case becausehe continuously lent his celebrity and credibility to
a crypto platform by promotions and throughhis NFT collections on a site that required
(06:38):
customers to sign up and put moneyin their accounts. H and I guess
people lost their money. But Imean, bitcoin's doing good, Why don't
you'll just hang in there or whatever? And maybe you'd have been fine.
Maybe Mark, you panic sold ata loss. He should have hung in
there and you could have bought anotherMavericks. I think the falls he'd done
is by bitcoin, he'd be ina better spot than the one he's in
(06:59):
right now. I don't know theperson who wrote this story, so I'm
not likely to trust her. Ohwho is it, Twintha Schweta Thurndon.
I mean I think you could drawn. I think you could trust on in
dot com that if they say MarkCuban's being sued, that he's being sued.
Yeah, you don't trust her words. I don't know. I'm just
(07:21):
saying. I'm just saying, Idon't know. If you don't trust her,
trust me. He had some moneyin some crypto stuff and that money's
gone, uh huh yeah, andthere would not be the n owners involved
right now if it weren't gone.See. I wondered that and speculated that,
but I didn't know that. Imean, it's not like he told
(07:42):
me. I'm also just speculating,you know, like like I think the
sun's going to set you know,I haven't seen it happen yet. Yeah,
are you guys creeped out by thenew owner? I am? I
am not. I don't know muchher or him him. I mean the
sentence he said about walking around andeating snacks with friends, Yeah, out
(08:03):
a little bit. It made merespect him less and like him more.
That's where I sat. I sawhim sitting there at the game the other
night, and he looked like hewas like in the Toy or some movie
like that. You know, heis an interesting looking dude. Like Nope,
(08:24):
nope, nope, I'm not goinghe's an interesting looking dude. Come
on. I mean, you know, I support anyone of that body type.
If you told me that he werethe defense, like he could be
the bad guy in a Silence ofthe Lambs movie. If you just take
his face, You're like, huh, what's he got in the basement?
(08:46):
You know. That's all. Andthat's all I've got to say about that.
Okay, all right, I shouldhave even thrown that out there,
not on the official Maverick station.I think that's fine. I mean,
the good news is that he conclusion, we think that everyone's doing great and
you should love all of them.Yes, yes, like we do.
I would say they won the basketballgame, and they have another one tonight
(09:09):
right here on her home of theMAVs. Ninety seven won the freak so
go Mavericks. That was a coolone to win last night in what way?
Because I agree it was in atough schedule spot. They are in
the down the stretch mode where losingany kind of game that's to anything other
than like the Nuggets is really stings, and they just didn't feel like they
(09:33):
had to try that hard. Theyweren't doing very well at all offensively.
I mean there were times whenever theydid okay, but what like twelve total
points in the fourth corner and theywon the game? Yeah. And I
don't think Atlanta scored very many inthe fourth quarter either, because I was
not watching him, like you're gonnahave to make a bucket at some point,
and the Atlanta would shoot and I'mlike, no, you don't.
Oh, maybe you do, though, no you don't. Yeah, I
(09:54):
agree, because I thought it wasone of those things where it's like,
Okay, do you fully believe thatthis team can win in different ways now?
And I do that they don't haveto put up a buck thirty buck
forty to go win a basketball game. Luca went over the first quarter,
Yeah, turned it over three times, got into out of trouble about his
battle Luca game. You know,he usually doesn't have a stretch that long
(10:16):
where he's that non impactful. Yeah, and then they really within ten minutes
of game time, cruised right backand got to a comfortable place that they
never gave up. And I wasjust like, all right, and Atlanta
with how Tree young is not threateningkind of gross. There's no one on
the court that you feel like youhave to really worry about too much.
(10:37):
Yeah, I guess you know.If you if your other if your opponent's
best team is Bogdan Bogdanovich, bogbogged and Bogdan Bogdanovic. Yeah, Like
it's not like he's a bad player, but if he's the big thing you
have to worry about, then youjust don't have to worry that much.
When your broadcast team is telling you, now, careful, now, Bogdanovic
(10:58):
is gonna heat up at some point, I'm like, all right, I'll
be fine because he was like fourfor fifteen at some point. Yeah,
I do. I love me someDaniel Gafford every game I watch is just
more and more of Even if he'sout garden somebody and they blow by him,
I'm like, I dare you tothink you can lay that up because
he just comes out of nowhere anddisappears your shot. But even he didn't
play huge minutes last night, right, he's I don't know, I just
(11:20):
fout trouble a bit, But yeah, he was there were time time he
was on there it was fun.I'm just saying it went about as bad
and a number of levels as agame. Oh, you didn't get a
lot of gaff was out, theydidn't shoot well, Luca wasn't playing for
a long stretch. P Jam playedgreat. It's about it didn't feel too
threatening at any point. It feltlike a Mavericks win for you know whatever
(11:43):
the first court, But the firstten minutes it didn't. You didn't think
they were going to lose. Theyjust were trailing the right right time to
have a game like that, Yeah, I mean yeah, yeah. Follow
Well tried to convince me that theywere going to lose in the first ten
minutes. He's like, you gotto keep in mind, now, this
is almost a scheduled law. Theend of a road trip. Yeah,
first game back, and I waslike, no, this is not a
(12:03):
scheduled lossy playing the Hawks. They'regonna come back and beat him. Chill
out. And then he was tweetingafter I love Mark so very much.
He's tweeting after that the Hawks area fifth in offense, so holding him
to this total langy fifth. Butit does speak to the fact that they
can against some other team's score andthe Mavericks, we know, are definitely
(12:24):
better defensively, so you might maketeams look a little worse than they otherwise
are and that's impressive. And allhome broadcasters are going to lean Homer.
So if you can bring that bardown while they're not playing well where it's
like, you know, this wasalways gonna be a tough one, really
gonna have to battle, I'm like, all right, And then they beat
the crap out of him, andyou didn't really hear that anymore because you
beat the crap out of them.But that's fun. Mavericks got to win.
(12:48):
It was a good win. Itwas a nice win. They did
not do it in their best fashion, and it was still a fourteen point
win. And they'll go again tonightat seven thirty seven. O'clock pregame right
here on ninety seven won the freak. Now one thing that is exciting to
me, oh buzzer, please,how about your Texas Rangers, who are
going to play baseball game tonight atseven. It will be their first of
(13:11):
four where they're going to Houston hostHoustoners at three and four. There no
four four here, four here againstHouston and you'll play today, Tomorrow,
Sunday and Monday. And what thenewspaper called the best rivalry in the American
League, which I think I agree, but I also don't show me a
(13:31):
better one. I don't keep upwith Yankees Red Sox happenings. Well,
Yankees red Sox is not what itused to be because the Red Sox have
not held there up their end ofthings very strongly. Yeah. Well,
we're getting ready for four against theAstros, which is super fun because I
love teams that don't love each other. I think it's a lot of fun.
(13:52):
And as I was reading in themorning news about the quotes coming from
the Rangers before this thing, like, hell, yeah, I hope we're
gonna get a little chippy. Ifyou think I'm saying, if you think
the mostly mild mannered Rangers are willingto get chirpy about the Astros. You
thought wrong. Seeker saves his micdrop moments for World Series celebrations only about
(14:16):
his perspective on the Rangers Astros rivalryat the moment. He's not exactly colorful.
Quote. I don't think my perspectivechanges at all. They're a good
team, they're in division rivals.You know you have to play well every
time you play them, no matterwhere you are. And then he said,
I guess we'll never know. Nope, and walked off. But he
did say when you play rivals,it's always a little chirpy out there.
(14:37):
People are going to be on edge, but you're always trying to win,
get a leg up. So weneed to be ready to play in the
moment and come out with a serieswin. That's good advice for everybody,
good advice for us. The fans. Will Marcus Simeon talk crap going into
the series against the Astros, I'dsay that's not his nature. Quote.
(15:01):
The league is filled with really goodteams right now, especially the American League.
We know we've got to be onour best game. I think we
need to play good defense and thencontinue to put up runs like we do.
That's just focusing on us. Honestly, we do those things. I'll
take our chances. Again, that'sexactly what you would want to hear,
(15:24):
not me. I'd like to hearI hate them, Yeah, but you're
not gonna hear it. I wouldlike to hear. I wish Martin Maldonado
was still here on the Astros totalk crap to us, so we would
have somebody to talk crap back toand we could fight somebody. But we're
just gonna toe the line and playbaseball. It's fine. It's fine.
(15:46):
Maybe an Astro will fire a shot, maybe somebody will get plunked, do
something. Maybe there'll be fights inthe stands, but that's not what I'm
looking for. I'd like some fightsin the stands. I'd like that too.
The only thing I'd like more thana fight in the stands with the
Rangers and Astros is a fight ofthe stands at any college football game,
(16:06):
especially those involving the SEC. Yeah, violence is never the answer, but
I'm I'm saying nobody has to gethurt. Watching fights is not fun.
It's nerve wrecking. It's a lotof fun. It's not fun. I'm
gonna do it tonight. Your watchfights. Yeah, he fights on the
internet. Yep, Why tonight aroundmidnight when I'm feeling real relaxed, loose
(16:30):
and conversational. Right after you goon YouTube dot com type in gas station
fights and see what they got forme, you don't feel real weird,
and whoever's losing the fight you feelsuper bad for. And I mean,
probably this is the luxury of mylife that I can view this at some
distance. I wasn't often involved infights. Ian barsh and I brawled it
(16:56):
out a tiny bit in sixth grade. That's about as far as I went.
And who got the better of it. I mean, it went very
quick. I'm sure that it wouldhave gone badly for me if it had
gone any longer. But he waskind of shoving me. We were running
laps in the gym, and hewas shoving me into the pads every time,
and the second time he did it, I just I pushed him down
(17:17):
and then we were separated, soyou won. I was standing over him.
Yeah, but if he got backup, he was probably gonna kick
my ass. And he let thatgo. Huh yeah, yeah, yeah,
that just you know, that's cool. We went on about our lives.
That's neat. I tried to pushKale Coil down the slide one time.
He bit my thumb. Oh boy, he won the fight. Yeah,
he got me. That's a goodmove. Yeah. Rivers willing to
(17:40):
bite, it's probably gonna win.I try to pick on the nerd kid
trying to push him. He's gotsome who's not ready for Yeah. That
was when I learned fighting is anoption. Yeah. There was another kid,
Sam Martin, who advised me,if I was ever in a fight,
regardless of the size of the opponent, if you kick him in the
shin's hard enough, anyone's going down. True. That is probably true.
(18:03):
Buzzer Please, I don't know howthis is a story, but it is
a story with a headline from todayon the owners of the MAVs. The
Addison family of Las Vegas, purchasedthe Mavericks with the hopes of expanding their
gambling empire beyond Nevada to the loneStar state. Now, their company,
casino operator Las Vegas Sands Corp.Is backing a petition to legalize gambling by
(18:27):
the Texas Destination Resort Alliance. Theywere established and paid for by Sands in
twenty twenty one, according to thecoalition's website. So somehow it's a news
story that they're backing a petition bya thing that they created. But they
told me whenever they bought it thatthey didn't care about whether or not gambling
(18:48):
got legalized. They just want tobe part of the Texas business community.
Yeah. Well, they've been payingto try to get it legalized for a
long time, and they say theypaid lobbyists up to six million dollars last
year. They have spent seventy anda half million on federal campaigns since ninety
two. They're trying to get thegambles. Oh, they're trying to get
(19:10):
sure they are. That's weird.Not once have you ever heard one of
them say, we just like basketball. I didn't know people could have private
actions that differed from their public statements. This is the first time I've ever
heard of it. I'll strike itwith Dirk. We learned something new every
day. Guess what day it is. Guess what day it is? Huh?
(19:30):
Anybody today is read a roadmap day. Do you think the average sixteen
year old out there, if youtook away their phone and handed them a
map could get where they're going.No, I don't just say here,
figure out how that thing works.If they couldn't. It's a learned helplessness
(19:52):
thing. If you're if you havea can do spirit, then put one
minute worth of effort into it.You can figure out a map. Let
me identify the major highway where amI. Let's do this. But I
don't think I've put hands on aphysical map in twenty years, maybe more,
(20:14):
because I used to follow along onthe map when my family would drive
from here to Saint Louis. Like, I would follow along and I'd look
at my bike. Oh look thepaper matches the roads. Oh yeah,
god, and it was super cool. The US Atlas is still one of
my favorite books to read, ourfavorite things to read. I do love
geography. I do too, andI like I like seeing where the highways
(20:37):
go. I'll spend hours just openingup the Apple Maps application on my phone
and just looking at various cities.Mike, you ever gotten into the Sorry,
I don't mean the derail all ofguess what they just do? What
you're doing? You ever gotten into? There's a map? They'll make it
every census where it's a racial dotmap. Of every city in America.
(21:00):
Each dot represents like twenty five people. Yeah, so you know, if
it's like a blue dot, thenthe Watts live there. I'm sorry,
what the Watts, JJ Watt.If it's a yellow dot, it's African
Americans. Things of this nature.You can just look at every city.
No, I haven't. They don'tcolor coordinate the dot that like, the
(21:21):
white dots are white white dots.I mean the map is white. I
haven't seen that. But then againI don't see color tc Yeah yeah,
yeah, mean either that's I don'tthink racist white people say as someone,
I'm just a curious guy. It'sdeep deep dish Pizza Day, which is
(21:42):
a fine version of pizza. Alot of calories, but it is tasty.
I can't handle it, but youknow, like extra bread, it
is thin or nothing for me?Really really these days, it's Louise or
nothing for me. That is agood pizza. Louise is a good pizza.
Andrew's American Pizza Kitchen is also fantastic. Just depends which, no doubt
(22:03):
which way I am from six thirtyfive. You know they'll do a quality
beet thish, Oh, they surewill. Today is a national caramel day.
Caramel's okay. If it's in somesort of candy bar without nuts,
caramel's okay. Salted caramel is oneof the fine delicacies on the planet.
Yeah, no one's ever had betterpr than whoever puts salted in front of
(22:25):
caramel. I like both, butI gotta have nuts too. No nuts,
no, no nuts, no nuts. It's a no nuts aping nuts
to you, nuts to me.But best of all, the nuts are
free. And today is first contactday. It's a star Trek thing.
I think whenever the sumpthing's met thesumpthing's just trust me. And that's what
(22:45):
day it is coming up next inJeff's bucket. Oh crap, we do
have to issue a warning for youguys. Locally. We did get we
got some folks off the streets,but you need to be aware of what
could go wrong for you. It'snext
Hey, they're freaks. Chris andJohn are actually made to each other.
Chris is a Hispanic female and Johnis a Vietnamese male, I believe.
But they combined both cultures together andthat is how you got the great restaurant
that is Chris and John GC.The app is called Skyview. It's the
(00:21):
Speak Easy on ninety seven one.The freak was a good up you hear
that figured you Google, start appgazing and find you one. And then
that guy really wanted you to knowthat. I'm glad that he did.
He addressed you by name. Thatwas helpful. It was helpful for TC.
He was rather emphatic, which toldme he doesn't like you, but
(00:42):
he was giving me helpful information.Well maybe so, but people can do
that and still not like it.I think you read into the take it
something, Mike. I don't know. I don't think I did. I
don't think that came across. Idon't think I think it did come across.
I felt like he loves TC.He didn't say TCU bitch. Here's
the app. People who don't likeme but still give me useful information are
(01:02):
some of the best people. Yeah. Oh, because there's no threat of
conversation after that, you just givewhat you need and pluce a testament to
their character. They help out peoplewho they like and don't like equally.
Yeah, that's living Jesus' message everyday. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's true. We should all tryand do that. A line somewhere along
that path was uttered in either episodetwo or three of Deadwood that I watched
(01:26):
in the last twelve hours, somethingalong lines of if you can respect those
even who you don't like something somethingSo did they do the mouth fart at
the start? No mouth fart,no, no, no, no,
might have been a gunshot. Ibelieve that same general thought was at least
once or twice a part of theHBO original series The Wire. Ah,
(01:49):
it's a wonderful show. Top five, top three, top two, as
far as I'll go. Okay,maybe top one, definitely top two.
All right, we'll ponder that alittle bit further. Maybe have Jeff lay
the top five out for us lateron today. I'd be interested in that.
I got you, all right,I can do it. Blow out
(02:10):
audio boxes, I do it rightnow. Yeah. Well, whatever we
do, let's do this first andponder it. Look, everyone, it's
me at the sports desk number fiveTV show. Hold on, I'll say
(02:30):
one is that one, two isthat one? Three's probably that one,
four and five are open for business. I'd have to think about it.
But Breaking Bad the Wire, Gameof Thrones are in the top three for
sure, and then I'll have toupdate you dead Woods in the mix,
though, I tell you that it'sall rights. Go two for three.
(02:52):
There the Mavericks. One, youhaven't seen game? This is zero chance
you've seen a Game of Thrones episode, right, I've seen an episode or
two. Did you like the dragons? They were neat? Did you see
dragons? They're not in most ofthe episodes, but they're in some Well
I had heard are read on theinternet or something that they're going to be
a part of the week's upcoming episode. So I watched. Hell yeah,
(03:13):
despite the fact that I had noearthly idea what was going on and who
was who and what they were toeach other or anything, that's okay.
If you saw his waiting for dragons, if you saw Callisi on Dragonback laying
waste to people, we've got somegood stuff. Yeah that was pretty awesome.
Yeah. Uh, the Mavericks wontheir game last night. It was
a basketball game, and they wentahead and won one, nine ninety five
(03:36):
against the Atlanta Hawks. Our MAVsnow forty six and thirty fifth seed in
the West, two games behind theClippers for fourth, one game ahead of
Phoenix and the Pelicans, and twogames up on the Kings. So get
comfy. You are snuggled in,I think, pretty well into the spot
where TC wants them to be,and you're barreling towards a first round matchup
as the road team against the LAClippers. Unless things get walky on you.
(04:00):
That appears to be where we're headedwith six games left, if they
do about what we expect them todo. Boy, I was gonna check
the NBA standings even though you justgave them to me. I just want
to make sure I got it friendlyin my mind, I don't understand why
you think I would like to you. So I went to ESPN dot com.
Yeah, their their top story,how the crypto fallout is impacting some
top athletes and sports figures. There'san illustration. Would you like to know
(04:25):
he's in the middle of the illustration. I'm aware who it is, but
go ahead. The man who justsold a large steak of his basketball team,
possibly related to his crypto investments.Mark Cuban. Yep, hmmm,
yep, does that all be Ilook forward to reading that story back to
you, Jeff. I had like, I have it and I can take
(04:45):
you through it. But I don'tknow what it all means necessarily. But
yeah, you know how much ofthe crypto people got in trouble because it
turns out that they were fraudsters andstuff. Sam Bankman freed people of the
silk Yeah, and he was likeFTX. Mark Cubans is something called the
Voyager Digital and he and the Mavericksare the defendants in the case. He's
(05:08):
accused of inducing plaintiffs to open interestbearing accounts with Voyager Digital when he said
during a MAVs news conference in Octobertwenty twenty one that he had personally invested
in the company. The Mavericks latertweeted that customers who downloaded the app,
created an account and deposited one hundreddollars and made one trade would receive one
hundred dollars in free bitcoin. AndI don't know how it works that he's
(05:32):
sued and what his stance is.It's all a bunch of words that I'm
not real sure what it all means, but people are basically saying, hey,
you I lost money. I'm comingafter the cubes. Yeah, he
just had a lot of money anda thing that turned out to be fraud.
I don't think that he himself wasaware of the fraud. But the
upshot of it is is the moneyhe had in it is worth a lot
(05:54):
less money than the money he putin. Now, I see Ronaldo was
involved in this too, and RinaldoI think is part of the Let me
double check, but I think hemight have been an FTX one. Oh
no, yeah he is. Welllet's say your guy. No no no,
no, no no no. Ronaldois Tom Brady's FTX. Yeah.
The other one in the photo,Well, Ronaldo was involved in it.
(06:17):
So was Ronaldo probably probably? Yeah. I was wonder if that was gonna
come up. One follows the otherlike what he follows night. Rinaldo is
being sued in the Binance case becausehe continuously lent his celebrity and credibility to
a crypto platform by promotions and throughhis NFT collections on a site that required
(06:38):
customers to sign up and put moneyin their accounts. H and I guess
people lost their money. But Imean, bitcoin's doing good, Why don't
you'll just hang in there or whatever? And maybe you'd have been fine.
Maybe Mark, you panic sold ata loss. He should have hung in
there and you could have bought anotherMavericks. I think the falls he'd done
is by bitcoin, he'd be ina better spot than the one he's in
(06:59):
right now. I don't know theperson who wrote this story, so I'm
not likely to trust her. Ohwho is it, Twintha Schweta Thurndon.
I mean I think you could drawn. I think you could trust on in
dot com that if they say MarkCuban's being sued, that he's being sued.
Yeah, you don't trust her words. I don't know. I'm just
(07:21):
saying. I'm just saying, Idon't know. If you don't trust her,
trust me. He had some moneyin some crypto stuff and that money's
gone, uh huh yeah, andthere would not be the n owners involved
right now if it weren't gone.See. I wondered that and speculated that,
but I didn't know that. Imean, it's not like he told
(07:42):
me. I'm also just speculating,you know, like like I think the
sun's going to set you know,I haven't seen it happen yet. Yeah,
are you guys creeped out by thenew owner? I am? I
am not. I don't know muchher or him him. I mean the
sentence he said about walking around andeating snacks with friends, Yeah, out
(08:03):
a little bit. It made merespect him less and like him more.
That's where I sat. I sawhim sitting there at the game the other
night, and he looked like hewas like in the Toy or some movie
like that. You know, heis an interesting looking dude. Like Nope,
(08:24):
nope, nope, I'm not goinghe's an interesting looking dude. Come
on. I mean, you know, I support anyone of that body type.
If you told me that he werethe defense, like he could be
the bad guy in a Silence ofthe Lambs movie. If you just take
his face, You're like, huh, what's he got in the basement?
(08:46):
You know. That's all. Andthat's all I've got to say about that.
Okay, all right, I shouldhave even thrown that out there,
not on the official Maverick station.I think that's fine. I mean,
the good news is that he conclusion, we think that everyone's doing great and
you should love all of them.Yes, yes, like we do.
I would say they won the basketballgame, and they have another one tonight
(09:09):
right here on her home of theMAVs. Ninety seven won the freak so
go Mavericks. That was a coolone to win last night in what way?
Because I agree it was in atough schedule spot. They are in
the down the stretch mode where losingany kind of game that's to anything other
than like the Nuggets is really stings, and they just didn't feel like they
(09:33):
had to try that hard. Theyweren't doing very well at all offensively.
I mean there were times whenever theydid okay, but what like twelve total
points in the fourth corner and theywon the game? Yeah. And I
don't think Atlanta scored very many inthe fourth quarter either, because I was
not watching him, like you're gonnahave to make a bucket at some point,
and the Atlanta would shoot and I'mlike, no, you don't.
Oh, maybe you do, though, no you don't. Yeah, I
(09:54):
agree, because I thought it wasone of those things where it's like,
Okay, do you fully believe thatthis team can win in different ways now?
And I do that they don't haveto put up a buck thirty buck
forty to go win a basketball game. Luca went over the first quarter,
Yeah, turned it over three times, got into out of trouble about his
battle Luca game. You know,he usually doesn't have a stretch that long
(10:16):
where he's that non impactful. Yeah, and then they really within ten minutes
of game time, cruised right backand got to a comfortable place that they
never gave up. And I wasjust like, all right, and Atlanta
with how Tree young is not threateningkind of gross. There's no one on
the court that you feel like youhave to really worry about too much.
(10:37):
Yeah, I guess you know.If you if your other if your opponent's
best team is Bogdan Bogdanovich, bogbogged and Bogdan Bogdanovic. Yeah, Like
it's not like he's a bad player, but if he's the big thing you
have to worry about, then youjust don't have to worry that much.
When your broadcast team is telling you, now, careful, now, Bogdanovic
(10:58):
is gonna heat up at some point, I'm like, all right, I'll
be fine because he was like fourfor fifteen at some point. Yeah,
I do. I love me someDaniel Gafford every game I watch is just
more and more of Even if he'sout garden somebody and they blow by him,
I'm like, I dare you tothink you can lay that up because
he just comes out of nowhere anddisappears your shot. But even he didn't
play huge minutes last night, right, he's I don't know, I just
(11:20):
fout trouble a bit, But yeah, he was there were time time he
was on there it was fun.I'm just saying it went about as bad
and a number of levels as agame. Oh, you didn't get a
lot of gaff was out, theydidn't shoot well, Luca wasn't playing for
a long stretch. P Jam playedgreat. It's about it didn't feel too
threatening at any point. It feltlike a Mavericks win for you know whatever
(11:43):
the first court, But the firstten minutes it didn't. You didn't think
they were going to lose. Theyjust were trailing the right right time to
have a game like that, Yeah, I mean yeah, yeah. Follow
Well tried to convince me that theywere going to lose in the first ten
minutes. He's like, you gotto keep in mind, now, this
is almost a scheduled law. Theend of a road trip. Yeah,
first game back, and I waslike, no, this is not a
(12:03):
scheduled lossy playing the Hawks. They'regonna come back and beat him. Chill
out. And then he was tweetingafter I love Mark so very much.
He's tweeting after that the Hawks area fifth in offense, so holding him
to this total langy fifth. Butit does speak to the fact that they
can against some other team's score andthe Mavericks, we know, are definitely
(12:24):
better defensively, so you might maketeams look a little worse than they otherwise
are and that's impressive. And allhome broadcasters are going to lean Homer.
So if you can bring that bardown while they're not playing well where it's
like, you know, this wasalways gonna be a tough one, really
gonna have to battle, I'm like, all right, And then they beat
the crap out of him, andyou didn't really hear that anymore because you
beat the crap out of them.But that's fun. Mavericks got to win.
(12:48):
It was a good win. Itwas a nice win. They did
not do it in their best fashion, and it was still a fourteen point
win. And they'll go again tonightat seven thirty seven. O'clock pregame right
here on ninety seven won the freak. Now one thing that is exciting to
me, oh buzzer, please,how about your Texas Rangers, who are
going to play baseball game tonight atseven. It will be their first of
(13:11):
four where they're going to Houston hostHoustoners at three and four. There no
four four here, four here againstHouston and you'll play today, Tomorrow,
Sunday and Monday. And what thenewspaper called the best rivalry in the American
League, which I think I agree, but I also don't show me a
(13:31):
better one. I don't keep upwith Yankees Red Sox happenings. Well,
Yankees red Sox is not what itused to be because the Red Sox have
not held there up their end ofthings very strongly. Yeah. Well,
we're getting ready for four against theAstros, which is super fun because I
love teams that don't love each other. I think it's a lot of fun.
(13:52):
And as I was reading in themorning news about the quotes coming from
the Rangers before this thing, like, hell, yeah, I hope we're
gonna get a little chippy. Ifyou think I'm saying, if you think
the mostly mild mannered Rangers are willingto get chirpy about the Astros. You
thought wrong. Seeker saves his micdrop moments for World Series celebrations only about
(14:16):
his perspective on the Rangers Astros rivalryat the moment. He's not exactly colorful.
Quote. I don't think my perspectivechanges at all. They're a good
team, they're in division rivals.You know you have to play well every
time you play them, no matterwhere you are. And then he said,
I guess we'll never know. Nope, and walked off. But he
did say when you play rivals,it's always a little chirpy out there.
(14:37):
People are going to be on edge, but you're always trying to win,
get a leg up. So weneed to be ready to play in the
moment and come out with a serieswin. That's good advice for everybody,
good advice for us. The fans. Will Marcus Simeon talk crap going into
the series against the Astros, I'dsay that's not his nature. Quote.
(15:01):
The league is filled with really goodteams right now, especially the American League.
We know we've got to be onour best game. I think we
need to play good defense and thencontinue to put up runs like we do.
That's just focusing on us. Honestly, we do those things. I'll
take our chances. Again, that'sexactly what you would want to hear,
(15:24):
not me. I'd like to hearI hate them, Yeah, but you're
not gonna hear it. I wouldlike to hear. I wish Martin Maldonado
was still here on the Astros totalk crap to us, so we would
have somebody to talk crap back toand we could fight somebody. But we're
just gonna toe the line and playbaseball. It's fine. It's fine.
(15:46):
Maybe an Astro will fire a shot, maybe somebody will get plunked, do
something. Maybe there'll be fights inthe stands, but that's not what I'm
looking for. I'd like some fightsin the stands. I'd like that too.
The only thing I'd like more thana fight in the stands with the
Rangers and Astros is a fight ofthe stands at any college football game,
(16:06):
especially those involving the SEC. Yeah, violence is never the answer, but
I'm I'm saying nobody has to gethurt. Watching fights is not fun.
It's nerve wrecking. It's a lotof fun. It's not fun. I'm
gonna do it tonight. Your watchfights. Yeah, he fights on the
internet. Yep, Why tonight aroundmidnight when I'm feeling real relaxed, loose
(16:30):
and conversational. Right after you goon YouTube dot com type in gas station
fights and see what they got forme, you don't feel real weird,
and whoever's losing the fight you feelsuper bad for. And I mean,
probably this is the luxury of mylife that I can view this at some
distance. I wasn't often involved infights. Ian barsh and I brawled it
(16:56):
out a tiny bit in sixth grade. That's about as far as I went.
And who got the better of it. I mean, it went very
quick. I'm sure that it wouldhave gone badly for me if it had
gone any longer. But he waskind of shoving me. We were running
laps in the gym, and hewas shoving me into the pads every time,
and the second time he did it, I just I pushed him down
(17:17):
and then we were separated, soyou won. I was standing over him.
Yeah, but if he got backup, he was probably gonna kick
my ass. And he let thatgo. Huh yeah, yeah, yeah,
that just you know, that's cool. We went on about our lives.
That's neat. I tried to pushKale Coil down the slide one time.
He bit my thumb. Oh boy, he won the fight. Yeah,
he got me. That's a goodmove. Yeah. Rivers willing to
(17:40):
bite, it's probably gonna win.I try to pick on the nerd kid
trying to push him. He's gotsome who's not ready for Yeah. That
was when I learned fighting is anoption. Yeah. There was another kid,
Sam Martin, who advised me,if I was ever in a fight,
regardless of the size of the opponent, if you kick him in the
shin's hard enough, anyone's going down. True. That is probably true.
(18:03):
Buzzer Please, I don't know howthis is a story, but it is
a story with a headline from todayon the owners of the MAVs. The
Addison family of Las Vegas, purchasedthe Mavericks with the hopes of expanding their
gambling empire beyond Nevada to the loneStar state. Now, their company,
casino operator Las Vegas Sands Corp.Is backing a petition to legalize gambling by
(18:27):
the Texas Destination Resort Alliance. Theywere established and paid for by Sands in
twenty twenty one, according to thecoalition's website. So somehow it's a news
story that they're backing a petition bya thing that they created. But they
told me whenever they bought it thatthey didn't care about whether or not gambling
(18:48):
got legalized. They just want tobe part of the Texas business community.
Yeah. Well, they've been payingto try to get it legalized for a
long time, and they say theypaid lobbyists up to six million dollars last
year. They have spent seventy anda half million on federal campaigns since ninety
two. They're trying to get thegambles. Oh, they're trying to get
(19:10):
sure they are. That's weird.Not once have you ever heard one of
them say, we just like basketball. I didn't know people could have private
actions that differed from their public statements. This is the first time I've ever
heard of it. I'll strike itwith Dirk. We learned something new every
day. Guess what day it is. Guess what day it is? Huh?
(19:30):
Anybody today is read a roadmap day. Do you think the average sixteen
year old out there, if youtook away their phone and handed them a
map could get where they're going.No, I don't just say here,
figure out how that thing works.If they couldn't. It's a learned helplessness
(19:52):
thing. If you're if you havea can do spirit, then put one
minute worth of effort into it.You can figure out a map. Let
me identify the major highway where amI. Let's do this. But I
don't think I've put hands on aphysical map in twenty years, maybe more,
(20:14):
because I used to follow along onthe map when my family would drive
from here to Saint Louis. Like, I would follow along and I'd look
at my bike. Oh look thepaper matches the roads. Oh yeah,
god, and it was super cool. The US Atlas is still one of
my favorite books to read, ourfavorite things to read. I do love
geography. I do too, andI like I like seeing where the highways
(20:37):
go. I'll spend hours just openingup the Apple Maps application on my phone
and just looking at various cities.Mike, you ever gotten into the Sorry,
I don't mean the derail all ofguess what they just do? What
you're doing? You ever gotten into? There's a map? They'll make it
every census where it's a racial dotmap. Of every city in America.
(21:00):
Each dot represents like twenty five people. Yeah, so you know, if
it's like a blue dot, thenthe Watts live there. I'm sorry,
what the Watts, JJ Watt.If it's a yellow dot, it's African
Americans. Things of this nature.You can just look at every city.
No, I haven't. They don'tcolor coordinate the dot that like, the
(21:21):
white dots are white white dots.I mean the map is white. I
haven't seen that. But then againI don't see color tc Yeah yeah,
yeah, mean either that's I don'tthink racist white people say as someone,
I'm just a curious guy. It'sdeep deep dish Pizza Day, which is
(21:42):
a fine version of pizza. Alot of calories, but it is tasty.
I can't handle it, but youknow, like extra bread, it
is thin or nothing for me?Really really these days, it's Louise or
nothing for me. That is agood pizza. Louise is a good pizza.
Andrew's American Pizza Kitchen is also fantastic. Just depends which, no doubt
(22:03):
which way I am from six thirtyfive. You know they'll do a quality
beet thish, Oh, they surewill. Today is a national caramel day.
Caramel's okay. If it's in somesort of candy bar without nuts,
caramel's okay. Salted caramel is oneof the fine delicacies on the planet.
Yeah, no one's ever had betterpr than whoever puts salted in front of
(22:25):
caramel. I like both, butI gotta have nuts too. No nuts,
no, no nuts, no nuts. It's a no nuts aping nuts
to you, nuts to me.But best of all, the nuts are
free. And today is first contactday. It's a star Trek thing.
I think whenever the sumpthing's met thesumpthing's just trust me. And that's what
(22:45):
day it is coming up next inJeff's bucket. Oh crap, we do
have to issue a warning for youguys. Locally. We did get we
got some folks off the streets,but you need to be aware of what
could go wrong for you. It'snext
