Speaker 6 (00:44):
Famous Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers, Jeff skin Wade
friends since nineteen eighty two, grew up right here in Richardson, Texas.
Skin Wade is here today, Kevin kt Turner, freshly shorn
from head to toe, uh, actually from his from his neck.
Not a single hair today. Yes, looking a little bit
like a lesbian. But that's how you guys wanted it.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
If you get a Brazilian mouthwax, No, I just took
off the caterpillar last night.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Yep, got at the storagees velcro.
Speaker 6 (01:12):
You look a lot younger without your mustache, but you
looked like a Marlboro Man with it.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Oh yeah, you look a lot less hetero today, Dude.
Last night I held up so many convenience stores shaved it.
Speaker 6 (01:26):
Little Baby corn Bread is here, Christina ka Cornbread Array,
the Pride and Joy of Oatmeal Pizza Blanket.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
How are you doing I'm doing fantastic. How are you
guys doing good? By the way, when do you guys
perform again?
Speaker 6 (01:36):
Christina's been a very popular local Nirvana cover band called
Oatmeal Pizza and their next performance is.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
It's the last Sunday, April twenty seventh at Dallas Pizza Fest.
We're playing before and after I believe the pizza eating contests,
so right in the action bench.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Okay, it's a pizza fest.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Yeah that is so appropriate. Yes, perfect to get geared up.
It's the twelve Days of Pizza for Christina, So twelve
straight days are having pizza.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Dude. Last week, I ate pizza almost every day. So
for the first time ever, I said no to pizza
last night. I'm like, man, I need a break. Really
he said no to beer last night? I had yeah,
And here's how it worked out for me. I had
one impromptu slice of pizza. My son will make you
know whatever. I don't even know what homemade pizza it is.
You know, you put in the.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Oven and he get left me one little slice. I
ate it and just my entire body shut down with
the worst indigestion I've ever had. I think I broke
a rib. Like my ribs are sore. The indigestion was
so bad. No, and it was from that you think, yes,
because I had no problem, and then you know they
say red sauce can cause indigestion. Really yeah, and so
(02:40):
I mean it just shut me down. I was having
to look up special breathing exercises. It was no las
over ah, my god, Nana's Like my contraction started slowing down.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I wish I was there to do la mas. We'll
be pre pre skin.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
I mean, I had a baby. I had to birth
at a toilet and so I had to contractions.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Right.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
It's just a bad experience. Getting old sucks. It does sucks.
It does suck and sucks.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
The big news of the day is a meeting that
took place between Dallas Mavericks CEO Rick Welts Nico Harrison,
the general manager of the Dallas Mavericks and assorted members
of the DFW media.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
And it was.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
No camera, Like, what were the stipulations this thing? No
video cameras, no audio recorders, Yeah, no recordings okay of
any kind?
Speaker 6 (03:32):
Okay, but clearly there's a transcript out there, because otherwise
I see those reporters doing shorthand I'm like, come on, man,
you don't know that's going to get every word exactly right.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
And then there's quotes in the paper.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Yeah, and they and you know, I think the interesting
thing you can do is you can go in there
and compare quotes. But you know, back in the day,
that's how it was done. And I think the main
thing is that there may be a though or a
thal or something that's off, but it's like, do you
get the main part of it right? So maybe they
gave im a transcript. Maybe those guys were just jamming. Well,
this was a very bizarre meeting to call. It's a
(04:05):
you know, back in the day, Mark Cuban would hold
meetings like this, and we were lucky enough to get
invited to a couple of these, and Mark Cuban would
hold court with members of the local media. You couldn't
record it or write anything down, but at least you would
understand their perspective on things.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
And that's what today was.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
It was Rick, Well, it's Nico Harrison and all these
sort of members of the DFW media.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
And let's just say that it was a small group,
the very small group. One estimate was about twelve people.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Okay, about twelve people.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
And it's the timing of it is super bizarre because
it's almost like an end of season thing, but the
season's not over.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
In fact, you're headed.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
To your most important game of the season, the play
in game Wednesday night, and so I would think this
might be distracting for players to go, wait, what, why
is this meeting happening now? But whatever it is, it
has been a bizarro world season. But the main things
to come out of this meeting were the quote where
Nico Harrison says he has no regrets over the trade,
(05:04):
and apparently the theme of the meeting was to say
over and over and over and over that defense wins championships. Yeah,
and then we should we should add because I think
you're hitting at this. Mike Curtis of the Dallas Morning
News says, I know it's been thrown out there, but
I just wanted to clarify that audio recording was not
permitted Initially. However, reporters were indeed allowed to record audio
(05:26):
of the session with Harrison and Welts.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Yeah, he's got what appears to be a pretty good transcript,
not the complete transcript, but a lot of good detailed
paragraphs on his Dallas Morning News article.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
So they said don't record it at first, but then
they let them record it.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
I mean, again, I wouldn't in there and I didn't
ask anybody about this, but I bet they got in
there and they're like, you don't want us to get
these quotes, right, Yeah, you know, I think it's probably
more about not having video of it.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Okay, this whole thing is so unbelievably bizarre on so
many levels. The fact that you go to the NBA
Finals with a twenty five year old global icon. Your
defense was really good down the stretch, by the way,
best in the NBA over the last twenty games. That's great,
and you lost in the finals. Your defense was actually
really good against the Celtics in the final in terms
(06:11):
of holding them. Your offense really wasn't there for you. Yeah,
it probably ran into a wall and you ran into
the best team in the universe. But you blow up
that team because defense wins championships, you go get older,
you trade for a thirty two year old Anthony Davis,
and it just raises so many more questions. So did
they accomplish anything today? Should we carry this over? What
(06:33):
should we do here?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
We should carry this over?
Speaker 5 (06:35):
And I think what we should do is give you
a couple things that they said, and then why don't
we table talk what we think it all means?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
All right?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
When to do that?
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Yeah, coming up in just over three minutes, we will
finish this conversation.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
What did they discuss today? That's all coming your way next.
All right, quick, quick, wit evan Quin.
