Starting point is 00:00:21 Thank you, and I'll see you guys there. Welcome, welcome to your mom's house. Hey, are you in the mood for something new? Why not fly with Air Transat to an eclectic music scene? A vibrant nightlife. And your next big discovery. Starting this summer, you can fly direct from Toronto to Berlin, exclusively with Air Transat. Now all things Berlin feel closer than ever.

Starting point is 00:01:00 Air Transat. Travel moves us. I mean, I really did first see you sitting at the stupa outside the cat club. That is the first time I saw you. Yeah. And I really did. You remember, you do remember that story.

Starting point is 00:01:13 Oh yeah, of course I remember that, yeah. You always say I look like a hooker, but I didn't really look like a hooker. It's not that you look like one, it's that I thought you were one. Ah. Yet on fishnets, knee-high boots, you were smoking a cigarette, you were kind of like,

Starting point is 00:01:27 I've been out here, I've been working, what's going on? Did not say that. Yeah. Okay, so then you go, but you knew that I was dating a guy. No, I didn't know right away, obviously. You know, I was trying to like, I was like, she's cute, playing it cool.

Starting point is 00:01:41 Yeah. Right, and then. Can I talk to you for a second? I was like, let me ho talk to you for a second? I was like, let me holler at you for a second. And then... Yeah, I just remember, I probably didn't figure, I mean, I can't remember exactly.

Starting point is 00:01:53 I didn't find out that night, but it's one of those things where, you know, after we met. Through the grapevine. Kind of either heard it through the grapevine, or you go to, I don't know, do spots and you're like, oh, what's going on with her? And then somebody mentioned.

Starting point is 00:02:10 And I always had that thing too where it's like, somebody's seeing someone and you're just like, okay. Like, you know. You're done. Yeah, you just accept. So it actually probably made us more like just coworkers, right? Like, yeah.

Starting point is 00:02:27 Yes, it forced you to get to see me as a person, not just blonde hair and tits a little bit. Right, and I always feel like that's so, like I hate honestly seeing women as people, because I've never really thought of them that way. Well, they're kind of stupid, right? Yeah, and also it's like, you know, you guys were kind of made for one thing

Starting point is 00:02:47 and one thing only, I feel like. What's that? I think it's pretty obvious. I think three, cooking, cleaning, and holding. I'm not really one of those guys that's like, you gotta clean for, you gotta, like, I don't, it's nice that you do, but like, it's really just be a Jizz receptacle, you know?

Starting point is 00:03:03 That's your number one priority I knew though. I do know this about you. Yeah coming and eating are your priorities Yeah, and I'll figure out the eating on my own. So The the main thing is, you know, what's that tits itch like and what that mouth do? So well, I did when I met you I had the best pair of tits I had such good tits because I wasn't like fat. I didn't have kids They were so good when we met you got you got my tits at prime Titty time it's primetime tits for sure and then and then kids cancer, but guess what in August

Starting point is 00:03:40 I'm gonna have my deep flap. They're gonna reconstruct my tits out of my belly fat I'm gonna have a tummy tuck and new tits you can choose we can sit down and choose the tits of our dreams I'm dreaming about when I go to sleep at night these new tits Yeah, you know I guess I should probably there's people watching who don't know who are like what the fuck is going on with this guy's face They get so upset. They get so bummed out when you're shaved I know like I was looking at a picture I posted of us on Instagram and they're just all the comments are like Tom's face It's offensive. I know it's honestly offensive. Yeah, it's like so hurt. Come on. It's not that bad So what happened was we did a live show, YMH Live 10. At this point, it's two weeks ago. So if you saw last week's show, that was actually

Starting point is 00:04:40 before we recorded. So it's been two weeks. It was, and I don't think I'm exaggerating, not only the most fun for us, but I think clearly the best live show we've ever done. Hands down the best. It was fucking awesome. Everything went so perfectly, the comedy, the sketches were bangers, Dan Soder, perfect guest. Couldn't have been better.

Starting point is 00:05:02 You, by the way, were the ball, the belle of the ball. Yes. May I, we all know, Tom was Robert Smith of The Cure, and I could not take my eyes off of you. If you're not aware of what happened, if you're like, what is this? Yeah. It's that I committed to the idea of being your fantasy.

Starting point is 00:05:20 It was amazing. On the live show, who is Robert Smith of The Cure? God, you looked so good. I couldn't Robert Smith of the kids. You look so good I couldn't stop staring at him. Look how happy I am. I loved it You know what? The best part is we were getting ready for the show and you were talking to the team Mm-hmm, and I was like, oh my god, Robert Smith here. Like I loved it. You looked so good Look how bummed out you are too. It's so good. I was trying to be his, you know, depressed, regular kind of guy. Oh my god, Robert Smith, are you so happy to be inducted in the Hall of Fame?

Starting point is 00:05:52 Not as excited as you, apparently. He said later that he felt bad about that. Did he? Yeah, he said that he didn't realize he was being video recorded, so he was just kind of like, he felt bad that it was like, seen as really shitty to her. Yeah. Yeah, he felt bad. Yeah, I think he's a decent dude. I've never heard anything bad about Robert Smith.

Starting point is 00:06:13 Yeah. Never. He just, he likes being a musician. You have a good band. I don't know anything about him. I do, I know a lot. He's been married to the same woman, Mary Poole, since they were like 20 something years old. They live in Sussex or he's from Sussex?

Starting point is 00:06:29 Oh, there we are. Tommy Scissorhands, look at me, I love it. It is so good. Yeah, well, we'll get into all this. It really was the, it was the best, dude. We've done 10 YMH lives, which is also a huge accomplishment. Yeah. You know?

Starting point is 00:06:47 It really is. But it'd been a while and really wanted to do another one because it's just so much fun. This one had like everything at a 10. And that's why, and I think for me, primarily the thing that makes it you go, this was so great, is that the pre-recorded bits were such bangers.

Starting point is 00:07:07 Like, they really were. Charo with Alexis Fox on doing an introducing to OnlyFans was amazing. Charo had no idea that the things that were there were the things that they were. And then, I just can't say enough about it. The Tony Johns dating. Oh my God.

Starting point is 00:07:30 Bachelor kind of show that we did, unbelievable. Well, you guys don't even realize how crazy that was filming it with him. I wish we could show the hours of footage of him being a lunatic. And then don't forget, live on the show, Alexis Fox. I know it's crazy.

Starting point is 00:07:49 That was magical. That was a magical moment. I mean, I feel like that's what like took it over the top. That's fucking insane. If that had not happened, I still think it was like just incredible, but that took it to a whole other level that Alexis was watching,

Starting point is 00:08:04 heard us talking to Tony Johns about his desire to enter the adult industry. And then she was like, yeah, I'll do it. She was like, I'll do it. It was just insane. Magical. And I broke my sobriety. I haven't had alcohol in 90 days.

Starting point is 00:08:19 I had to drink during the heavy segment. That's how good that segment was. Oh, look at them. She loves Alexis. Oh yeah, who doesn't though? She's so sweet. Oh my God. Oh, the Whistler.

Starting point is 00:08:31 Ralph the Whistler, he had multiple whistling bits and then his off mic stuff, talking about storming the Capitol and there's nowhere to piss and just like crazy conspiracy shit. It was unbelievable, dude. And of course, his whistling is just... That's phenomenal.

Starting point is 00:08:50 There's nobody better. Then we played our short film for her... Yep. ...that people really responded to as a touching tribute to my father. Yep. And then... Daniel Pineda. Daniel Pineda. Daniel Pineda was in that.

Starting point is 00:09:05 Ryan Sickler was in that. There she is. There she is. Gosh, she's so thoroughly talented. It's upsetting. When you make, so I've made multiple shorts. When you get real actors, like serious actors in something, it actually makes you realize like,

Starting point is 00:09:22 oh, this is why in features like when you go like why are movie stars like paid so much they elevate oh yeah things so much like our silly little idea just takes on a whole new thing when you have yeah a really good actor in it well she's got to say some absurd lines yeah and deliver them sincerely. It's very hard. So it's a fine line she has to walk to make it believable and funny and everything. It's really, she's very talented. No, she can do it all.

Starting point is 00:09:51 She's amazing. She's coming. She has a big movie coming out, I think, next month or this month. Amaze. Yeah. It was just bangers, dude. The accountant too. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:10:01 She's going to be in the accountant too. Oh, shit. Just bangers. This YMH Live, you I were were buzzing for days after We recorded why I'm a ch life. Yeah, I couldn't sleep that night. I was so Jazzed about how it all went. Yeah, it was my god. His soda was like perfect. Will Blunderfield did his thing Duncan Trussell our own Tanner and Pissing together in a cup. God damn.

Starting point is 00:10:28 Yeah, the Will Blunderfield thing was amazing. Everything. Oh, there we are watching heavy. Oh, there we are watching the heavy, not really watching the heavy. Yeah, Dan was, Dan, it got to him. He was like, oh, I'm fine, this is good. And then he was like, oh God.

Starting point is 00:10:47 We'll get to that, we'll get to those in a second. Why don't we open the show and then we'll get to our favorite. So much to talk about. Okay, he, he. He. Here you go. We were in bed, and I guess you know,

Starting point is 00:11:07 I'll just be honest with you, I buried my face in her vagina. Okay. She didn't shave and that's what I wanted and I basically sucked this woman's pussy for an hour and a half. An hour and a half. And I loved every fucking minute of it. But I mean just I didn't let nothing Go

This was the favorite thing that I always have said I love about the live show.

Starting point is 00:17:54 My favorite thing about the heavy segment is not the heavy segment. It's watching people watch the heavy segment. Same, same. So whenever we play the heavy segment, we get these videos that get sent in of reactions of people who are doing like watch parties and stuff. I've never done a YMH live before and I've only heard the lore of the heavy segment and I'm excited to finally see it because I don't think I don't think it's gonna get me. Oh, no, please

Starting point is 00:18:29 That was the worst That was gnarly that was a guy's ankle literally snapping off of his leg They're completely torn skin and everything. That was insanity Which was actually it wasn't even in our heavy bank of clips it was it was in our other that was like a sorbet yeah it was supposed to cleanse the power yeah Oh, it's chunky! Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm this guy I love it dude.

Starting point is 00:20:03 Oh, it's so bad. Fuck, dude. Look at her cat. The cat is like, what? What is it? Oh, it's so bad. And then even here in the office, the live show was streaming into the conference room, which had like 20 people in it. And Alan was like, I have to watch it. Like he told him he had to watch it? So upset. That's Alan in Ad Sales. Ryan's got a...

Starting point is 00:20:40 Ryan's got his hoodie over his eyes. Ryan's got his hoodie over his eyes. Leona. Chris Mars. It was Chris, everybody was just mortified. But that's the fun, I mean, how do you not have fun with that? Aren't you enjoying watching that? That's the best part. Yeah, I mean, look, the reason we do these live shows

Starting point is 00:21:02 is because we can't play the good stuff on YouTube. They flag everything. It sucks. And it's also to bring people together, bring communities together. How does that not make you wanna have a watch party where you set up a camera and record your friends? It's the most fun.

So I'm in this bed with this attractive woman, clean, don't have a scar on her, don't smoke and it was just enjoyable, she was there to serve me.

Starting point is 00:23:27 But she was satisfied. I was satisfied. I mean, we laid in bed for a few minutes and then she went to the restroom and came back. She started putting her clothes on. So I knew she was ready to go. I mean, she had driven, even though I drove the great distance,

Starting point is 00:23:43 I drove 85 miles, but she still says she had to drive an hour which I don't understand because alpha red was supposed to only be 30 miles away But uh, but she came in our can you imagine a woman a 54 year old woman driving an hour?

Starting point is 00:30:03 I don't know what the show is. Thanks. It's perfect red. It's inauthentic. It's not not fun. Um, is that a reason to hate it? No, no, it's not. Um, I think, I think, I think I don't like that. She's just, she's here's what it is. When Martha Stewart came out with her, you know, how homekeeping type shows back in the, what was it, the 90s or the 80s or whatever. I remember women being like, yeah, right. Like who's at home making their own beeswax candles? Yeah, right. Who's making their own croutons from scratch? Well, you know who was

Starting point is 00:30:40 Martha Stewart. Martha Stewart was because that's who she was that's who she is She was doing all this crafty stuff Even when the cameras weren't rolling. That's a good point and that is probably one of the main criticisms of Megan is that people find it to be inauthentic. I'll tell you something else. And scroll down. Oh, it's fantastic. Oh yeah, you got a whole write up. They wrote such a complimentary article. And by the way, I'm so thrilled to be in the UK news because let me tell you,

Starting point is 00:31:14 you know my love of the royal family. Yeah, authentic. It's authentic. I read books about these people. I'm interested. I'm not a British citizen, so I don't have the same relationship the Brits do to their monarchy.

Starting point is 00:31:26 But I'm fascinated by their system that's existed for hundreds and hundreds of years. And I've read books about Meghan Markle, had a lot of time when I had breast cancer. Let me tell you something about her. Can I tell you? I've read books that are pro-Meghan and books that are pro-monarchy. Here's what I've deduced about her. Cause I don't go after people lightly. I really don't. I do it for a reason. This Megan Markle is beautiful, stylish, manipulative. She's a fame-seeking, money-seeking succubus, right? Here's the problem, which is fine, by the way, because Hollywood is full of succubus.

Starting point is 00:32:09 The problem is, is there's no talent. You understand? That'll catch up to you. You need to do, there needs to be an exchange. And what she used was the royal family. She tried to take down an establishment that's long revered, long existing, and it's not cool. Now you could say that in America there's talentless fucks like the Kardashians, right?

Starting point is 00:32:30 You know what they give? Tits, ass. They give us a reality show where they show us their bad relationships and their dad who became a woman and all that stuff. That's still entertaining. She's pretending to be perfect and using the Sussex name. Now Harry H, she calls him H, not Harry, H, is not without fault too, because he wants out of that goddamn family, right?

Starting point is 00:32:53 So he did the chicken shit move instead of saying to daddy and granny, I don't wanna be in the family, he married a bitch, and then she takes the fall for this. You understand? But she is a big phony. She just wants fame and money and celebrity, but she doesn't wanna do anything for it.

Starting point is 00:33:10 That's the problem. I gotta tell you, I don't think this is gonna help you get invited to Buckingham Palace. Hey, I'm T. Middleton. T. Middleton, all day long. They get the rules. She knew the rules going into this family.

Starting point is 00:33:21 Give me a break. She pretends like, oh, I didn't know. Yes, you did, bitch. So this family. Give me a break. She pretends like, oh, I didn't know. Yes, you did, bitch. Yes, you did. So Kate and William, right? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:33:30 They are, they're there. They're the ones that are gonna- They're holding it down. They're still in good graces, obviously. They're the royal couple now. Yes. Because aren't Harry and Meghan not even considered royals anymore?

Starting point is 00:33:42 So here's the deal, man. So here's what happened. They went to the queen when the queen was alive and said, we kind of want to do like a halfway royal thing. You know, maybe we do some duties, but not all, but that's not how they work, the royals. Either you're in, you're a working royal or you're out. The reason being, the taxpayers fund this stuff, okay?

Starting point is 00:34:01 So there's no, you can't do your side businesses and make money and be a working royal because working royals do good for the public. Their whole thing is like showing up at a hospital opening. So what happened is the Queen basically was like, no this is not how this works. You're either in or out. What are you gonna do? We're out. Okay, see you later. So they pull their security because they're not working royals. Why should the taxpayers fund their security? Yeah. He's got enough money from Princess Diana's

Starting point is 00:34:28 trust, he can pay for his own security. And then Megan, this is totally shameless. This is why I don't like her too. Just from a human level, you're in this new family, you don't like your in-laws. Okay, fine. Don't go on Oprah Winfrey and say, oh, my in-laws are racist, they're bad people, everybody hates me, and do the sobbing story.

Starting point is 00:34:49 You understand? She put them on blast to make herself a name. It's disgusting. And I think it's really gross. Well, I don't think it worked either. Most people don't feel like they like her more. No sympathy for her because she was claiming racism when she was, oh, the tabloids are racist. It's like, I don't see that.

Starting point is 00:35:08 The queen wanted her. They even fast-tracked her getting married in Westminster Abbey because they liked her. Revoke the security. They revoke titles too, aren't they? So that's the thing. So I think, I'm not sure about the title business because I thought they would.

Starting point is 00:35:21 Can you see that? Can you look? So she says, she's talking to Mandy Kayleigh and she goes I'm Megan Sussex You know, I'm Megan Sussex. So she gets to keep the title. I'm guessing But you can't say you're a Sussex and carry title well, you're not a working royal it's like dude So it says the royal I don't know when this was oh Go up. When is this?

Starting point is 00:35:48 Royal family prepared to sanction removal of Prince Harry and Meghan Sussex titles amid new bombshells. When is this printed? This was last week. Okay. Yeah, I mean. So the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have pivoted away from publicity, speaking about the royal family for over the last year.

Starting point is 00:36:06 The royal family are prepared to sanction the removal Prince Harry and Meghan's Sussex titles if the couple release further damaging bombshell claims about the monarchy according to a royal source. The Duchess Sussex hit out at the firm in a 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey. That's the one you just, after she stepped down as a working royal,

Starting point is 00:36:26 in January of 23, Prince Harry released his autobiography titled Spare. Which I read. Which provided intimate details about his relationship and arguments with senior members of the royal family. It would take an act of parliament to take away the couple's Sussex title. But according to the mail, a royal source has said,

Starting point is 00:36:41 it is still considered a potential sanction that could be explored if any further bombshell interviews or books are released. So they still have their title. So here's the deal, but here's a real fun part about all this, okay. So she's on the stupid show. She's pretending to be Amartha Stewart, right? She's like, I'm harvesting my beeswax,

Starting point is 00:36:57 even though she doesn't give a fuck about the bees. There's a beekeeper that comes and does all the work. She's like, my best friend, who's her makeup artist that she's been on, you know, been on payroll for a million. It's coming over, I'm gonna make him some bath salts and put them in, like first of all, who the fuck is taking a bath when you're a guest at somebody's house?

Starting point is 00:37:14 It's so fucking gross. Anyway, what was I gonna say? I'm so fired up about her. Yeah, I see this, Jesus. Fuck. Oh, the point of the story is, I've read numerous accounts of her, and it says that she is not a good employer,

Starting point is 00:37:27 that she's very nasty, very mean. And do you know that the people who work in the palace in Buckingham, they basically do it as volunteers. You don't get paid anything to work for the royal family. You do it. Nobody does? Not really. Like I think they get a tiny amount of money, but what they do get is I don't know tiaras or hand me down stuff very cold and withholding to staffers created a really awful

Starting point is 00:37:50 workplace people have quit working for her. Do you guys feel the same way about us? No! No never of course not. Never. Can I tell you the show I'd want to watch how she can fix this? Any year are Megan what how do you how do you feel? You said I'm your Megan is that what you said? That's fucking crazy Fucking miss that I'm your Megan Do you do you feel like this is that cold and we're withholding I'm not gonna lie this entire topic is super white people shit I'm not following what so okay? Please I'm fired up. Can I tell you what the show is? Yes.

Starting point is 00:38:26 She's a bitch. This is the problem with Meghan Markle. She's not a nice girl. She's a bitch. I wanna see the show where she's yelling at her gardener for trimming the hedges incorrectly. I wanna see the show where she's talking shit with her fake ass friends in Montecito about whatever.

Starting point is 00:38:41 I wanna see the show where she's crying in Harry's lap, like why do they hate me, the press, everybody hates me. You know, that's the Meghan Markle I want to see. This is bullshit. This is like why people sometimes just hate somebody that marries into a family. It's like she then... But then doesn't take the responsibilities of that upset family. I know, but it brings with them the entitlement of somebody that you would think would have to be born into the family. You know what I mean?

Starting point is 00:39:12 You just joined it and then you're acting like, yeah. And you're shitting on an establishment that's existed for hundreds of years. And you're not even England, you're not British. Don't forget, we, I mean. You've no right. I don't think it's gonna happen anymore because of how outspoken you are,

Starting point is 00:39:22 but we did have an agreement that if we were to meet the royals, obviously I don't think we're gonna happen anymore because of how I spoke and you are but we did have an agreement that if we were to meet the Royals Obviously, we're I don't think we're gonna meet Megan and Harry Not that I don't care. If we met William and Kate Yeah that I we have an agreement that if I am introduced to

Starting point is 00:39:37 Prince William, yep that I would tip my hat and go hello governor Yes, and then this is where hello governor came from a year ago we were in London and I said one day you're gonna meet William and Kate we're gonna be invited maybe he's a comedy fan and you have to say it you have to do that look I think they know I'm right I'm team Middleton I'm team William and Kate mm-hmm thank you they seem like they are nice like you know why can I tell you what I respect about them and the queen? They respected the post. They respected the title. They respected the job of what they have to do.

Starting point is 00:40:11 It's not an easy job to, to, to uphold these values. He's got an old man's spirit too, because he embraces the horseshoe bald look, which is really crazy. That's usually men that are honestly boomers, you know, like a much older man goes. I'll rock the horseshoe So for him to do it he's like 40 something. So so here's the deal man is that there's there's hair do's they're allowed to have So this might be in the royal Protocol or whatever that's in there certain haircuts and no, it's true. You can't have certain hairdos. You can't do certain things. He can't clip the sides. He may not be able to.

Starting point is 00:40:47 Cause I don't think there's ever been like a bald, I don't know. I know that there's limitations on the, on the women, like what kind of hairstyles they can have and such. You don't see this. You don't see this with men like our age. The horse. You don't. It's really like the previous generation. Okay. Traditionally within the British royal family, the prince is expected to maintain a neat short haircut. Typically considered military style with minimal styling and is generally expected to be clean shaven, meaning no beard or mustache. Although there have been exceptions like Prince Harry,

Starting point is 00:41:20 I'm sorry, H. The douchess of sucks. She sucks. I know. I-ch. The douchess of sucks. She sucks. I don't know. I-ch. She's the worst. All right. Such a phony. I can't take it.

Starting point is 00:41:31 It like, it hurts to watch her stupid fucking show. Pretty cool. I just had to say my piece. You got it out there. You got it out there. Look how cute William was. Yeah. I'll say that's what he looked like bald. Looks there. Look how cute William was. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:41:45 Oh, so that's what he looked like bald. Looks good. He looks handsome. It looks better. He's got a great face. Yeah. Handsome. Growing out the sides is fucking insane.

Starting point is 00:41:53 You know, there's a rumor that Prince Harry is actually the son of someone that Diana had an affair with. That's awesome. And if you look at the pictures, you're like, yeah, that's fucking, that holds up. He definitely doesn't look like his brother. They don't look the same. Not a lick. Mm-mm. Doesn't look at all. I mean, that's what I got. That holds up. He definitely doesn't look like his brother. They don't look the same.

Starting point is 00:42:05 Not a lick. Mm-mm. Doesn't look at all. I mean, that's Charles and Diana, but you look at the other boy, Harry, despair. I mean, look at that. Yeah, yeah. That's the dude.

Starting point is 00:42:16 Look at him. And he's got the polo helmet on or whatever. I like that this says Prince Harry was fathered. Like it just says it like it's a statement. I know. Yeah. They vehement says it like it's a statement. I know. They vehemently deny that claim. Of course. Obviously, but come on.

Starting point is 00:42:31 Of course. It's possible, anything's possible. Well, I'm glad we got that out of the way. You can take this down. You know, I just, you don't care anything for these? They're so interesting. We did, we just gave it like fucking 20 minutes. What are you talking about?

Starting point is 00:42:47 Jesus. I'm very passionate about this. I mean, your passion is felt, everybody gets it now. I'm very invested. Okay, we got it. I just wish you shared my interest. I definitely do. Now I feel ashamed.

Starting point is 00:42:59 Don't feel ashamed. Here, let's get. It's what I care about. You care about sports and cum? This is my sports and cum. Jesus. That's so fucking offensive. It's not what I care about.

Starting point is 00:43:12 It's really rude. Wish there were girls in the office. I'm always the only woman caring about girl shit. Okay. Here we go. All right. I finally got a decent foot job. So let's talk about it and read it one through ten

Starting point is 00:43:31 Somebody on Twitter reached out to me and said she gives amazing foot jobs and I was like there is absolutely no way and turns Out she was close to me. So I had to try it. I told her come on. Yeah, let's link up be going collab I'm gonna post it. I did the method. I'm not gonna post the video. I just wanted a free foot job We think that she put like a special type of oil on her feet and I can't lie, it was pretty decent. But the reason I say it was decent is because what even is a good foot job? There you go. More dick stuff, cool. From Prince Harry and Prince Charles to a foot job review.

Starting point is 00:43:57 He's doing more reviews. The best is that he told her he was gonna upload it. Like I guess I was like, yeah, I'll share it with people. And then he was like, no, of course I'm not gonna upload it. Like I guess, I was like, yeah, I'll share it with people. And then he was like, no, of course I'm not gonna do that. So he was like, that's crazy. To share the actual foot job. He was gonna share it. I guess she wanted it shared and then he,

Starting point is 00:44:15 yeah, he was like, no, I'm not doing that. There's boundaries. Well, he tricked her. He's got limits. That's what I'm saying. He tricked her, you know what I mean? Have you ever had a foot job before? He's going up to this guy. A foot job? A foot job what I mean? Have you ever had a foot job before? He's going up to the sky. A foot job?

Starting point is 00:44:25 A foot massage? Like a foot job? How do you even know if a foot job is a good one? Where are you supposed to compare it to? She couldn't make me finish. I don't think I would ever finish from feet, honestly. She was kind of mad that I wanted the buns, but it's like, what do you expect?

Starting point is 00:44:41 You come over here and expect to just give me feet? So yeah, I would give this experience like a six out of ten It's probably my last time trying this she is expecting me to post it and tag her to give her a little bit of clout But I'm not gonna lie, but I'm not gonna post that shit. What the fuck I look like posting me getting a foot job for I don't care about digital footprint But I don't want my future kids to see me getting a fucking foot job What about this video? I know.

Starting point is 00:45:08 This dude's the best. We gotta link up with him at some point too. Maybe we should have him do, yeah, official reviews. We see the places in Austin. Yeah, we gotta get more out of him. Jeez. This guy too, you know, Kanye was all in the news because he was selling his swastika

Starting point is 00:45:27 t-shirts. But then there's another level you can go to, which is what this guy did. Swastika tat on the chest. And he's Asian. That is interesting. That is interesting. Drugs are powerful, man. They'll just do things that you would never

Starting point is 00:45:47 think possible. He actually went to a shop and was like, right here, if you could. That's wild, but I'm surprised the shop did it. Usually they have limits. You can find people. You can find people in the tattoo world that are looking for it. Depending on the state, I guess. Sure. You could be like, hey, how about right here? I watched the Charlie Manson doc last night. Yes, I know You know everything about your buddy Charlie now fucking you want to talk about like the rascal of all rascals. It's Charles Manson. I mean

Starting point is 00:46:14 It's really well. I'm reading that book chaos. That's what the doc is called. That makes sense It's the same guy last night the guy that's in it is is the author. Okay. That's why that makes sense. Remember last night? The guy that's in it is the author. Is the author, okay. That's why it makes sense, the CIA connection. Yeah, Tom O'Neill's the guy that's kind of the interview throughout. It's really good. And basically, if you like conspiracy theories and there's gotta be a motivation, what's the story behind the story,

Starting point is 00:46:42 this is the book or the documentary for you because The theory on this is like, okay. How did this guy? Why would he do this? How does he how do you get people? To commit crimes for you, right like that was people always were like, how does he get his followers to kill people? And that's what the documentary and the book explore. It's basically Charlie Manson went to Northern California after he was let out of prison. He did like an eight, nine year bid in prison.

Starting point is 00:47:18 And when he went to Northern California, it was the summer of 67. And this is as the explosion of summer of love and hippies and everything is happening, especially in Northern California. There's a health clinic that opens that starts, you know, basically providing services to these people. And one of the people there is a guy by the name of Dr. Jolly, I think his name was Jolly Davis, Jolly West, that's it. Luit, and they call, his nickname was Jolly.

Starting point is 00:47:51 So this guy was doing kind of experimental stuff on people with LSD and hypnosis, and it turns out, he was doing it because the CIA was paying him to do it. They were funding his research, which is the entire basis of the MKUltra program, which is pretty well known by people, which is the idea that you could build,

Starting point is 00:48:22 the Manchurian candidate kind of stuff, like get someone to be an emotionless killer and just have them be under complete mind control. He's doing this in this building where this clinic is. In the same building, you know who has an officer there? Charles Manson's parole officer. So Charlie is bringing people into this building who are both going to the clinic,

Starting point is 00:48:50 some would say under the oversight of Jolly West, and his parole officer is writing these incredible reviews about Charles Manson, even though he's consistently violating his parole. And they're talking about how well he's doing. So it's almost as if the parole officer is doing this for another reason. Like why is he writing that Charlie is doing so well

Starting point is 00:49:21 and improving when he's clearly in violation of his parole all the time Well a year after that Charlie comes back down to la Moves into the spawn ranch Has all these followers He's drugging them with lsd. He's giving these speeches to them. He's doing sermons And shortly thereafter he has has this legion of followers

Starting point is 00:49:45 who will do whatever he wants, including killing people. So it's exploring that entire story, and it's pretty crazy. Well, I'm reading the book, and it goes into great detail, the murder of Sharon Tate and the people in the house, and how they did it. I mean, literally, the first, I'd say, quarter of the book is just outlining the brutality with which these people carried out.

Starting point is 00:50:08 So it's so, oh, it's hard to read. The doc, it goes into really great detail about the murders as well and the investigation. And basically how lackluster the LAPD. Yes, they knew, they knew. The investigation. It took months before they even showed up at the ranch. And the second murder that happened.

Starting point is 00:50:25 The LaBianca's the next day. They were just like family business owners. They weren't show business. They weren't, like, you know what I mean? And the public word from LAPD was that they said the LaBianca and the Tate murders were not related at the time. This is what they put out publicly. And everyone was like, what?

Starting point is 00:50:43 Yeah, it was the same style. They sure seem like they're related, painted the same words on the walls. It's a mind fuck, the whole story is, but it's a really good watch. You know, Charlie Manson, usually you and I don't overlap in our interests of this nature. You're not interested in the Royals, got it, noted.

Starting point is 00:51:03 I'm not always interested in murder, but you and I and our Venn diagram of interests, I like Charlie, maybe because it's an LA guy. Maybe it's that he's a unifier. Maybe the guy's actually, I mean, he's a pretty neat guy. He's a pretty cool guy. He's into peace and love and LSD. We both like music, he was a musician.

Starting point is 00:51:21 He was a musician. Well, so they say that he wanted to kill the Tates, right? Who was the, sorry, the famous guy. He didn't want to kill the Tates. No, he didn't want to kill him either. That's who he wanted to kill. The music guy that rejected him or something? Terry Melcher.

Starting point is 00:51:35 So the problem was that Terry Melcher used to live at Cielo Drive, the house that Sharon Tate was in. Yep. Charlie Manson sent them to kill him. All right. But he didn't know that he had moved. Not there anymore. So he told the people, kill Terry

Starting point is 00:51:52 and kill anybody who's there. Oof. Well they just showed up and just killed everybody who was there. It was brutal and they. And the person who they didn't kill was the guy that didn't live there anymore, which was the guy they wanted to kill.

Starting point is 00:52:03 Yeah. And they strung them up. You know that the bodies hung them up Who the Manson killers they strung up the bodies? Mean hung them up Tate was on the floor No, she's on the floor then when they found her but they hung her out I think they slit the bodies they like hung them up in the rafters or something and did some shit like that. That's what it said in the book.

Starting point is 00:52:28 Yeah. I don't know. I didn't see that. No, maybe they didn't detail it, you know? All right. This is the part I remember. Okay. What?

Starting point is 00:52:44 Okay, I mean, yeah, sure. It was gnarly. And you know what too is that I had a business meeting one time at this house, the Sharon Tate Murder House, because the guy who's a big television producer of like a family sitcom show bought the house, changed the numeric address, and I asked him, I was like, hey, just curious, why would somebody buy the Sharon Tate murder house? This is pretty notorious.

Starting point is 00:53:15 And he goes, well, it turns out, murder land is discount land. So instead of paying six million, I paid four million, whatever. And you're like, that really? Personally, I don't think I could live in that house, right? I mean, that land, oof. I mean, you probably wouldn't want to, right?

Starting point is 00:53:30 Like, it's kind of bad vibes. Bad, that's the house. It's a beautiful home. Yeah. It was really nice, but like, man, that was a weird one. That's the house now, that's the house you went to. Yeah, that's the house I went to. We had lunch, there was a butler that served us lunch.

Starting point is 00:53:46 So weird. It was super weird, dude. I was like, I don't know if I could work with this dude. But I had to go to the meeting because I'm like, it's at the fucking Tate Murder House. And his big thing was like, this is discounted land. Yeah, he liked that there was a discount. From the murders. It's wild, right? Yeah. He was, and he said it so nonchalantly too. from the murders. It's wild, right? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:54:07 He was, and he said it so nonchalantly too, like, I mean, you know, it's cheap. Spoken like a true Hollywood guy. Yeah, that's a good producer right there. I was like, I will get this movie made. All right, let's take a quick break and then we'll be right back. Hey, come on with it, hey.

Starting point is 00:54:27 Welcome back and we are back with a very special guest. The last time we saw him, he was here just railing against the less fortunate, he used washcloths and today he's here to talk about so much more. You know him from Shark Tank, you know him, he's the owner of the Dallas Mavericks and you know we're gonna get into costplusdrugs.com. It's Mark Cuban, everybody!

Starting point is 00:54:48 Hey! What? Thank you for coming. Thanks for having me. Hey, any place that's got vodka on the table, we can have it down at 11, 10 in the morning, whatever it is, yeah. Would you like a glass with some ice? No, fuck no.

Starting point is 00:54:58 Okay. Okay. Shoto, are you a drinker? Depends on the moment. Yeah, I don't drink as much as I used to but yeah, I'll find a reason to yeah It's fun. I don't like to do it. Oh all the time, but this is ours So this is like when then you got to do it all the guy to do it Yeah, I mean, you know by example, right? I tried to I tried my best

Starting point is 00:55:15 Try to do it in the a.m. Kind of power through the day. Yeah, man, but I don't have a problem Look man, I remember watching something once. It was an interview you were doing where you said, um, everybody who stops me on the street wants to talk about shark tank and I just want to talk about basketball. Right. So let me lead. Oh, great. Now you want to talk about basketball. What the fuck happened, man? I have no idea. Wait, is that for real? No, I'm lying. But like, it's beyond... If I had any influence, no, yeah. But so just to lay things out for people who might not know, because literally the last

Starting point is 00:55:53 time I saw you, I think it was about fresh news that you had sold your majority shares in the Mavericks. Oh, in the Mavericks, yeah. And you're like, it's a great situation where I sold the team, but I still have operational control. Oh, basketball, but I still have operational control. Oh, basketball, yeah, that was the mission. But what part of basketball do you control and what do you not control? I don't anymore, and I haven't for a while.

Starting point is 00:56:13 So you relinquished all of it? I didn't relinquish, they kind of- Muscled it out of you. Yeah, I wouldn't say muscle, but the majority owner, Patrick Dumont, decided that he was comfortable with Nico Harrison the general manager and the team he had put together which is his choice. His choice. I mean and you can't totally argue with him because you know we went to the finals.

Starting point is 00:56:33 Yes. Now I can tell you you know but stuff but yeah it was his choice and he made his choice and so I'm just a fan now. You were in the position of having some. That was yeah when I originally sold the team, that originally was the conversation, that originally what was supposed to happen. Okay.

Starting point is 00:56:51 And then over time, and initially it was, and then over time it was like, okay, and Nico we trust, and so here we are. So I have to imagine that in the, of course we're talking about Luca being traded, which was, I think in like, we're not, you know, similar-ish in like the biggest trade in American sports that I can, like I remember Herschel Walker being traded, remember that? When you're like, what the

Starting point is 00:57:14 fuck? It was crazy. That turned around the Cowboys. That was great. Yeah. But like, I imagine your phone blew up a lot. Well, I was in Florida at a conference. And I don't know, 11 at night, whatever it was. Yeah, it was late. Yeah, and I get a text. And it was from our general manager.

Starting point is 00:57:33 And I thought he was asking me what I thought. And then I realized very quickly he was telling me what happened. And I told him I didn't agree with it, and da-da-da-da-da, and various reasons, but it wasn't my decision to make Wow, yeah, and it's I mean for people on the outside I mean, I know people a lot of people in Dallas. It was pretty well reported. They're very we're very upset

Starting point is 00:57:55 Oh, yeah, my family my my daughter was at a party and you know had to hide Really when it came out? Oh, yeah, it was and still like I was at here at South by Southwest. I was at the premiere of The Accountant 2, great movie by the way. And somebody started yelling fire, Nico. You know, it's just, I mean, it's like the new let's go Brandon. Yeah, exactly. But this is like, it's so insane to people that when you have, I mean, Luca's a legit like generational. You don't have to convince me, you know, but it's like it's so insane to people that when you have I mean lucas a legit like generational You don't have to convince me, you know, but it's it's yeah. I mean I I don't get it either. You don't get it either. No

Starting point is 00:58:33 And it is one of these things that as people have said early on like time will tell like yeah That's the way all trades work. Yeah, you know look, you know 2004 I let steve n Nash walk and he won two NVPs the next two years. But the good news was he beat us in the playoffs the first year after he left. And then we made it to the finals and won a championship. So it kind of covered all that. Is it hard being in that position to go, you know,

Starting point is 00:59:01 this guy, you like the guy, you go, this is a skilled guy, but you have to look at a team's needs and something? Yeah, it know, this guy, you like the guy, you go, this is a skilled guy, but you have to look at a team's needs. And so yeah, it is, right? Because you develop personal relationships with them. And like, I love Luca, right? You know, we weren't best buddies, but I would text them all the time and DM him and, you know, try to, you know, I would give him all these motivational quotes, even gave him books to read and stuff to read, you know?

Starting point is 00:59:24 And so we had a good relationship, got along great with his dad. I mean, I was just as dumbfounded as everybody else. Yeah. And then the current rumor mill is that they're gonna look talking about waving Kyrie. What? Yeah, man, you don't watch the rumor mill?

Starting point is 00:59:38 I don't watch the rumor mill. Yeah, man. No, there's no, that'd make no sense whatsoever. Well, the first one. one what the fucking Luca going Well, yeah, but you know, okay, you're right I love Kyrie to maybe they're trying to get rid of the people. I like That's the whole new man Somebody comes in takes over a new company gets rid of the old guys

Starting point is 01:00:00 Maybe you need to do some reverse psychology and talk about how awful they are I love Kyrie actually. Yeah. No, I no I mean he's amazing. He's a good dude too. Both those guys are really good guys. All right now Kristina's like all right I don't know anything about basketball. No I know this guy Luca because he's my tribe right? What is he? Slovenian. Yeah Slovenian. Yeah. I get it. Speaks better Spanish than English too. Seriously. Yeah Yeah, seriously Yeah, when he was 13 he moved to Spain. Yeah, didn't know the language learned it speaks English Slovenia and all these Yeah, isn't that crazy? Yeah, but I mean like that too with Italy, right? Yeah

Starting point is 01:00:36 Oh, yeah, he's I'm excited. I really want to see this guy like I'm so excited to watch what happens Like I'm such a fan of his and this story. I mean, I just wanna see what, I know we're not allowed to cheer for the Lakers here, but I just wanna see what happens with him. Yeah, it's just brutal. It's painful no matter how you look at it.

Starting point is 01:00:54 Yeah, all right. It's like talking about the, yeah, it's just, yeah. Like a pet dying. Sorry, Mark. I know, I'm in mourning kinda still. I understand. Hopefully. But they paid me to buy the circus. And so, you know.

Starting point is 01:01:08 That's true. I just look at my bank account and feel better. There you go, yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah. Hell yeah, let's talk about money. Yeah, let's talk about rich guy stuff. Well, no, it just is what it is, right?

Starting point is 01:01:19 You know, I sold for a reason and, you know, nothing more I can say about that. I mean. Yeah. Yeah yeah, is what it is. Can we ask you a rich guy question though? Sure. So, it's better than being asked poor guy questions because I used to get asked those too. Yeah, true, right?

Starting point is 01:01:34 Oh, nothing worse than being poor. Yeah, I've been there. We've been there too. Is there any secret rich guy stuff that people should, what I mean is, everybody knows about bigger homes planes boats like that's like the accessible stuff but I think the exciting thing is to learn that there's some secret shit you don't know oh there is yeah like it makes ugly people handsome and pretty that too right yeah meaning the no I know what

Starting point is 01:02:00 you meant Jamie Foxx said it great. He goes, there's a fame mist. Once you become famous, people like you a lot more. It's the same with money. Yeah. I mean, they go hand in hand for the most part. Maybe the level of fame isn't the same, but yeah, I mean, people, when you're on these lists and everything, people know who you are. And they treat you differently.

Starting point is 01:02:25 And that's probably the hardest part. And that's why, you know, I can go places, and it's like, hey, hey, hey, hey, that's Mark, da-da-da-da-da. You lose your anonymity, for better or worse. Right. But do you, and then you also develop some skill for reading whether somebody authentically kind of.

Starting point is 01:02:43 No, because I'm not looking for new friends really. So you're just like, yeah, no new friends. My friends are my high school buddies, my college buddies, my rugby teammates, you know, the people, my roommates from Dallas when I moved to Dallas, all the same people, you know, guys that play basketball. I mean, you know, I've been around long enough

Starting point is 01:02:59 that I've got, you know, friends. You have your core group of friends. Plus I've got, you know, three kids, 15, 18, and 21, and that's kind of all your focus, and your mental focus, your emotional focus, and everything, so yeah. That's true because you are from Pittsburgh. You grew up working class.

Starting point is 01:03:15 So you grew up hustling. I remember I read this thing that you, when there was a newspaper strike. Yeah, it was funny. Someone else just asked me about that an hour ago. Tell us a story, I wanna hear that. So in Pittsburgh, it was the Pittsburgh Post Gazette and the Pittsburgh Press were the papers.

Starting point is 01:03:31 And if I remember right, they were both printed the same place, so they went on strike. And so there were no newspapers. And so I had a 1966 Buick LeSaber, a big old boat. And me and my buddies piled into the car and drove to Cleveland and back then the newspapers were like a quarter each or whatever I don't know and so we had you know rolls and rolls of change and we just went to it we waited for the new papers to come out and we went and hunted down every Cleveland plane dealer

Starting point is 01:03:59 truck that we could find and just tried to buy out and bought out literally all the papers that would fit in our car. And so we then drove back to Pittsburgh and stood on the corners in the morning because we went midnight the night before, got back to Pittsburgh, six in the morning, and I remember standing downtown, papers for sale, papers for sale,

Starting point is 01:04:20 and instead of it being a quarter, they were a dollar each and people would tip us just because everybody got all their news from the newspaper back then. Wow. And how old were you? 16. So this entrepreneurial spirit is just in somebody, right?

Starting point is 01:04:32 Yeah, for me it's been since I was nine, 10 years old. I wonder, because you mentioned that you have three kids that are like 15, 18, 21. And there's gotta be a thing when your dad is super successful and it's also super public Like do you how do you deal with like a kid being like it's hard. What am I gonna do? Right? Yeah, it's hard Right, you know you try to just let them be themselves and I try not to say you've got to go in this direction Or that direction like I was talking to one of my kids about college the other day and it's like you don't have to know

Starting point is 01:05:04 What you're gonna be when you grow up. Even put aside our financial situation, I don't think any kid should be under the pressure at 18 or 22 when they graduate from college to know exactly what they're going to do. And everything's changing so rapidly from a technology perspective, just the world in general. So just be curious, that's what I try to get them to do.

Starting point is 01:05:25 Be curious so that you always wanna learn something, figure things out. The more knowledge you have, the more, not power, but the more capabilities you have and the more options are available to you. And so I try to, my wife and I try to really let them be themselves. And there are times though, which I hate,

Starting point is 01:05:46 where my kids are like, no, we don't want you there, Dad. You know? There are times like, both of my younger kids play basketball, and they know if I go to a basketball game, the other team will come up and take pictures and this and that, and it's just like, so I'll come up and play. That's tough. Yeah, that's tough, I hate it.

Starting point is 01:06:03 Yeah. Or, no, we don't want you there, Dad, because it'll make a scene for whatever reason up like, yeah, that's tough. I hate it. You know, or no, we don't want you there, Dad, because it'll make a scene for whatever reason. I'm like, that's brutal. That is brutal. But at the same time, I understand it. Yeah. Most of the time I still show up.

Starting point is 01:06:15 Yeah, it's coming to the side. Back door or whatever, yeah. But it sounds like you're, I mean, it just sounds like you're so grounded, but how? You're like this crazy billionaire. I mean, you're, I mean, it just sounds like you're so grounded, but how? You're like this crazy billionaire. I mean, you're not crazy. Not crazy, but like crazy amount of money, I'm saying. No, it's an insane amount of money.

Starting point is 01:06:32 That changes people. Like we've seen it in our business. People can go nutty because the bar gets raised on reality. You know what I mean? Like really, I mean, choose to, I think the thing is that money allows you to have the choice. Yeah, no, no question. Like I've been in situations where, you know, I've been out and my credit card got taken, you know, I've come home and the lights are off and all that stuff. Right. Um,

Starting point is 01:06:55 hold my four born, my car, all, all the stories of when you're broke, you know, and, and, but I've, my attitude has always been, if you were happy when you were poor, you're gonna be happy when you're rich. If you were miserable when you were poor, you're gonna be miserable when you're rich. Miserable people just stay miserable no matter what the circumstances.

Starting point is 01:07:14 And like, I tried to be a fun guy, enjoy my life when I was broke. I didn't, you know, I was sleeping on the floor, five roommates in a three bedroom apartment and had a blast. And I just, I always felt like when, it's weird when you first make money, it's like, okay, what am I gonna buy?

Starting point is 01:07:33 So I bought a plane. Fuck yes, dude. Fuck yes, right. Can you give us a good, like, can you, first of all, be a bro and just kind of talk about how it wouldn't be a poor idea for me to invest in an aircraft? I think it's brilliant. That's what I'm talking about.

Starting point is 01:07:53 Here's the thing. I'm going to clip this is what we're going to do. I'm going to clip this out and I send it to my business manager. Let's start for a game. Mark, do you think I should get a plane? How could you not? Of course. The time that I save. The time that you save is money in

Starting point is 01:08:07 the bank because you are an earner. You are an entrepreneur. You create wealth and the more time you have, the more money you'll make for your business partners. You are doing it not for yourself because you are not selfish like that. You are doing it for them. You need a plane, not because you need a plane, because you care so much for their future that you are going to help them grow their net worth. And you are going to put, because most people wouldn't buy the plane. Most people might just stay at home, put on a Netflix show, work out, whatever, but not you.

Starting point is 01:08:44 I'm out there grinding. You're grinding, cause you are a grinder. And with a plane, your grindability is multiplied. That's what's up. And then your wife can take that plane wherever she wants with her. Oh hell no, that ruins all the... No, no, no.

Starting point is 01:08:59 Josh, you know where to clip it. Yes, you got it. I gotta go to LA for the day. Right? Yeah, fuck yeah. Can I ask you, got to go to LA for the day. Right? Yeah. Fuck yeah. Can I ask you what, did you read a lot? How did you learn?

Starting point is 01:09:08 Yeah. Are you reading Napoleon Hill? Who are you reading? No, I did though. Yes, I did. I read your book. Me too. The How to Win the Sport of Business?

Starting point is 01:09:16 Yes. Short and sweet? Yep. Yes, but you know what? It's so important. First of all, it got me fired up. It's called How to Win the Sport of Business. It's like 64 pages.

Starting point is 01:09:24 There you go. It's called How to Win at the Sport of Business. It's like 64 pages. It's great. The thing that I also get is, you know, so many people, you'll hear this thing, your whole life you hear like, man, if I had a million dollars or whatever they go, you'd never see me again, right? And then you see these guys like you, super successful guys, who you're like, hey, how come you're working?

Starting point is 01:09:42 You're like, because that's like my life. That's what I like to do. That's what you enjoy. Yeah. But you know, I love to read, right? To this day, you know, um, reading, driving around, listening to, um, motivational speeches. Who are you reading?

Starting point is 01:09:56 Tell me who do you, who do you like? Um, there's not anyone like now I just read about artificial intelligence and healthcare, you know, it's not like, oh, I've got this great fiction guy or this biographer. But like when I was just getting to Dallas, I drive around listening to Zig Ziglar, the same motivational tape all the time. Zig Ziglar. Over and over.

Starting point is 01:10:19 And I drive by the big houses, you know, just this is the mode, yeah, there you go, Zig Ziglar, my man. You know. Great name. Yeah, there he goes, Zig Ziglar, my man. Great name. Yeah, what a great name. And so it was just anything I could do to get motivated because the way I always look, particularly in technology, right?

Starting point is 01:10:37 The way I always looked at tech was there was the person who or people who created it and then there was everybody else. And I was tied with everybody else. And so if I put in the effort to created it, and then there was everybody else. And I was tied with everybody else. And so if I put in the effort to learn it, that put me ahead of everybody else who was selling it, integrating it, doing whatever, so it was just a question of effort.

Starting point is 01:10:54 And that's the way I've always looked at business. If I put in the time, like healthcare with costplusdrugs.com, oh you can't disrupt pharmacy, well we have. It's amazing. This is a brilliant business. No, it's killing it, it's killing it. It's called costplusdrugs.com and you know most people when you go to the doctor and get a prescription and the doctor just says okay you need this prescription, what pharmacy do you use?

Starting point is 01:11:14 And that's it. And you have no idea if you can afford it. You don't know what your co-pay or your deductible or your co-insurances. If you have insurance or if you have high deductible or no insurance, you're screwed right? Because you have that fear of walking up. Like I said, when I was broke if I needed a prescription It's terrifying to stand in line. So what we did at costplusdrugs.com, we decided to bring some transparency So you've go to costplusdrugs.com You put in the name of the medication that that you need and we carry about 2,500 of them not all of them but we're getting there and First thing that comes up is our cost. We show you what it costs us to buy.

Starting point is 01:11:50 Yeah, what it costs us to buy. And so put in Tadilafil, T-A-D-A-L, it's generic Cialis, and I know you wanna know what it costs. Hell yeah, dude. T-A-D-A, something. Feel Tadilafil? Yeah. So you see,A, something. Phil, Tadilafil. There you go. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:12:06 So you see, like, for five milligrams for a 30 count, right, so a whole month, it's only $6.60. Wow. And that's including our 15% markup, and then it's, you know, I think that includes our pharmacy fee as well, so then it's $5 for shipping and handling. So for $11.60, so I'm just telling you.

Starting point is 01:12:24 Hell yeah. You could get 90 of them, click on 90, click on 90. 90 count. Okay, for $9.70, which costs less? A big bag of M&Ms or now 90 generic Cialis. Dude, look at the comparative price. Retail price with other pharmacies, $920. Yeah, but that's not even the point. The bigger point is what brings more joy to your day,

Starting point is 01:12:48 an M&M sitting next to your bed or a generic Cialis? The Cialis. That's what I'm saying. I start my day with this. You know how the birth rate is declining? That's what we're here for, to increase the birth rate. So everybody out there, get your prescription for Tadilafil or whatever.

Starting point is 01:13:04 Can I tell you something about Tadillaphil too? Some people are really married to this idea is that you pop one before you're gonna have intercourse. What I like to do is pop it in the morning and just see where the day takes me. Right? I love going to the urinal and being like, look at this guy.

Starting point is 01:13:20 Like it's way more than I thought. It's like Morty Wood is back. It's back. It's back, it feels great. See, that is the whole mission, right? We are here for every guy of a certain age to have a smile on his face in the morning. And by the way, if you're gonna go sit with the boss

Starting point is 01:13:34 and you're asking for a raise, it's way better to do it with a chubby than fully flat. Right? You feel like, you sit up in a motel. And when you get that plane, let me just tell you. Oh, plane. Shit. What about the yacht?

Starting point is 01:13:50 Do we do the yacht? I'm not a yacht guy. Because you're stuck. Did you ever charter one though? Yes. And you enjoyed it or no? My family did, me not as much. You not as much?

Starting point is 01:13:59 Yeah, me not as much. Why didn't you like it? Because I was disconnected from everything. Wow. I don't like that. I run all my businesses 95% via email. And so when I'm disconnected, so I can get caught up and put my phone down, that's fine, right?

Starting point is 01:14:13 But I don't know how far behind I am, that's just anxiety for me. And does somebody, everybody, there's a thing where no matter who you marry in this world, there's things you accept about a spouse, right? Yeah, of course. Does your wife just has accepted from the beginning, like, this guy works.

Starting point is 01:14:32 Yeah, she's saying. Yeah, she knows, but she's very independent. She's super smart, independent. So it's more like my wife is doing her thing. Oh, her thing. Yeah, and I can either come along, it's up to me, right? She's not waiting on me. That's why I love her. Because she's like strong. She does her own thing. She, yeah, she's got things that, you know, her responsibility in the house. And yeah, I don't

Starting point is 01:14:57 touch it. You know, there's just certain things that I know that that's tips. Yeah, that's a, I think that's a good way. It's kind of how you have to, if you're, if you're married to a highly motivated career driven man, the woman has to be able to do her own thing. Well, in this case, she's more motivated than I am. You know, she, she really, I mean, What is she into? What does she do? Tennis. Yeah. Kids. Different stuff. Yeah. Charity stuff. Yeah. That's nice. Yeah. But Yeah, but she's on the go all the time. That's awesome. Do you have a, cause the show obviously, Shark Tank is a worldwide global phenomena.

Starting point is 01:15:30 Sure. Do you have an immediate bullshit meter thing that goes on when it starts? Like is there a tell for you? Oh yeah, yeah. What's your tell that you're like, this is some bullshit? You know, the number one tell is when they talk about well if you only get 1% of this billion dollar market.

Starting point is 01:15:45 Oh, okay. Because everybody says that. The valuation is just. Yeah. Well, no, like, if I get 1% of a billion dollar market, that's $10 million in sales and, you know, it's only $100,000, but you're not going to get 1%, you know? So that's the number one thing. But literally the hardest part of Shark Tank is coming up with something to say to go out.

Starting point is 01:16:04 So the minute they come on and they start talking, I'm not looking for reasons to go in, I'm looking for reasons to go out. Because I've done too many deals, but then sometimes it'll just be like, no, I gotta do this deal. Really? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:16:21 And just everything lines up for you? Not everything, but I end up selling myself It's like okay, they're not good at a B or C, but I'm really good at a B and C So if we combine forces, um And I'm wrong probably half the time but You know, that's interesting you're wrong half the time Do you think that accepting failure is part of why you're so successful too? Like, do you just move on? Well, you've got to.

Starting point is 01:16:46 Yeah, you've got to, right? Because if you're not failing, you're not trying. I mean, it's cliche-ish, but it's true. You know, you've got to dive in and try things and see what happens and, you know, that's okay if it doesn't work. Because especially in investing, you know, you want your wins to cover all your failures. Like down here in Austin, I'm gonna see the guys from Beatbox Beverages.

Starting point is 01:17:08 They were a Shark Tank company and they're just crushing it. They went from struggling initially when they came on the show to through more effort on their own to now being hundreds of millions of dollars in sales and being worth hundreds of millions of dollars as a company. So that's awesome. That's a Shark Tank. Yeah, like Dude Wipes, bring up Dude Wipes. Same thing. Dude Wipes is a major brand now. Everybody knows what Dude Wipes is. They're marketing and everything. That was a Shark Tank deal. No way. Yeah, the only investor that they've

Starting point is 01:17:41 ever had is Brian and Sean and crew. And like I like I gave him, I forget, maybe, um, $200,000 for 15% or something like that. And they're worth, you know, hundreds of probably a half a billion dollars. Wow. Yeah. So is that your biggest success? Is that the biggest one? Those two are the biggest. Another one, mush oats is crushing it. Dude wipes are everywhere, man. Everywhere. These guys are brilliant markers. Both of them. We have dude wipes here. Yeah. I knew I liked you guys. Yeah. Now we just gotta get you some

Starting point is 01:18:08 beatbox. But yeah we'll get some beatbox in here. But yeah. Would you be interested and then I don't know if you're willing to take risks in funding a porn shoot between a modest Walmart worker and a porn star, a world famous porn star to make a dream come true? Have you gotten in that business yet? No. Okay, all right. No. Fair enough.

Starting point is 01:18:29 He's looking for a way out. He was looking for an out. What on Shark Tank, what is the dumbest pitch you've ever heard? His brain right now is just shifting. So many, so, so many. Like there was one that came on years ago called tail lights. And what it was, it was like a circular thing that had little lights flashing. And it was meant to be attached to the back of someone's jeans.

Starting point is 01:18:54 For a girl, teenager in particular, because, you know, shake your tail lights. This guy thought it was a great idea and it was great TV. And so he had a girl, 16, 17 year old This guy thought it was a great idea. And it was great TV. And so he had a girl, 16, 17 year old girl who turned out to be his niece. And so I said to the girl, I'm like, would you wear this on the date? And she was just so conflicted

Starting point is 01:19:15 because her face just dropped. Because it was a horrible idea. Nobody's gonna wear it on a date. They're probably long gone. But yeah, that was one of the worst fart candles. Oh, what, what? Hold on, now you're speaking our language. There you go, right?

Starting point is 01:19:30 Yeah, no, different flavored candles, but like, you know. Fart candles. Yeah, Spencer Gibson. Fart sharting. Exactly. And when you shart instead of fart, dude wipes. Dude wipes, there you go. So you get both covered.

Starting point is 01:19:42 You get two for one, right? I can't believe you didn't do fart candles, bro. No, there was like, awakened bacon. both covered. You get two for one, right? I can't believe you didn't do fart candles, bro. No. There was like, awakened bacon. Like in the early days of Shark Tank, there were a lot sillier, because people didn't know who we were and what it was. There was another one where there was an alarm clock

Starting point is 01:19:55 that made bacon, so you were wakin' to bacon. That's right. That's pretty rad. Yeah, it was funny as hell, but you know, what if it caught fire or whatever? Yeah, sure. Your hair's on fire. That's hilarious. How do you keep was funny as hell, but you know, what if it caught fire or whatever? Yeah, sure. Your hair's on fire? That's hilarious.

Starting point is 01:20:07 How do you keep the bacon fresh too? Like, what? There's so many problems. You know that also, to develop the prototype, that guy ran that thing. Oh, the guy was great, wait. The Wakin' Bacon, there he is. The Wakin' Bacon, is he still in, oh my God.

Starting point is 01:20:21 Oh my God. He was like, his whole story is like, Mark Cuban told me no. Awaken season two. Yeah, that's when I was on as a guest. That's hilarious. Oh my God. And then there's the ones that should have been good.

Starting point is 01:20:35 Like there's one breathometer and it was great. It was a personal alcohol detector. That's smart. To tell your blood level, this guy, right? And made perfect sense. We all got in, you see a picture of me and him. I started looking at his Instagram feed right after we gave him the money.

Starting point is 01:20:58 We gave him a lot of money. And he's on this island, at this party, and this party. And I'm like, dude, right? What? What are you doing? What are you doing? You're supposed to, oh, I'm marketing. Whole thing crashed and burned.

Starting point is 01:21:12 It had other problems. But it was such a great idea and it just didn't make it. Yeah, and also, you can also see the ones too, where I've seen ones where you guys are super competitive. Like you guys are really wanting it. And then the person just talks themselves out of any deal, but also doesn't then take the business into something. Like, sometimes people go, I don't want, I'm just actually not going to do this deal with

Starting point is 01:21:35 you guys. And they're able to have their business still succeed. But the ones who kind of self implode after it, that's a bummer to watch. No, I mean, and it happens, right? Because there's people that, in life too, off the shark tank, you oversell. And there's times that we'll say to them, just shut up. You have our interests and the more you talk, the worse it gets. You're talking yourself out of a deal. It's like a guy trying to get laid. Right?

Starting point is 01:22:02 God damn, yeah. Say anything, right? Just shut up. Shut up. They don't want to give away equity. That's always a thing. You're talking about the guy trying to get laid. Right? God damn, yeah. Say anything, right? Anything. Just shut up. Shut up. They don't want to give away equity. That's always the thing. You're talking about the guy trying to get laid?

Starting point is 01:22:10 No. I'm still working on that, bro. There's a new angle, right? That's a new angle. Yeah. They never want to give anything to get stuff. Well, no, and that's also a tell, right? So when the company comes in and they want $500,000 for 2%, they know how the game is

Starting point is 01:22:23 played. And what's worse is like, they practice their pitches over and over and over again with the producers, because it's hard to come on knowing you're on national television and millions and millions of people are going to be watching. So they practice it. And part of it is what your ask is. And so the producers basically will tell, you can't specifically tell them yes or no, but they'll say, you know, when you're practicing, this is probably better and they'll practice it. So it was, you know, a hundred thousand dollars for three percent, right? Okay. You can get along with that. And then they'll come on and say $500,000

Starting point is 01:22:53 for two percent in the moment. They'll say, and we're just like, no, it's not, you know, it's not worth your time. No, that's, that's like a $25 million valuation. You have $17 in sales. Yeah. You know, it's good love your company, but it's not going to work. Yeah, delusional. One of the things I've always, because I've heard this topic discussed so much, but I've never actually had the conversation with someone, is there's this thing related, I guess you could say, to the giving pledge, where super wealthy people pledge to give away the majority of their fortune.

Starting point is 01:23:23 But how do you feel about, I've always wondered, when you have the money, everybody wants to leave things for their kids. Do you feel like you're throwing off someone's development if you go like, by the way, one day you're gonna get like several billion dollars. Well, they're smart, they know how to do the math. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My bigger worries are they gonna knock me off.

Starting point is 01:23:43 Right, right. No, it is something I think about. My wife and I talk about it all the time because how much is too much. But at the same time, you want them to be able to survive it. And so, like particularly when I sold the MAVs, I kind of organized it so that they'll be okay, but not so much that they can just go buy planes and stuff. Right, okay. So it is a consideration, right? Oh yeah, for sure. And then there's certain things that they have to do, certain benchmarks,

Starting point is 01:24:11 graduate, not do certain things, and like that. Yeah, okay. Yeah, because I mean, sometimes you see, obviously, in the news, so-and-so inherited $40 billion. Yeah, and it's like, it's scary, you know, because I don't want, you know, I've seen, you know, I've watched the session, you know, you don't want, I don't want that for my kids and I don't want it to be a battle and that's one of the reasons I sold the Mavs. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:24:38 Really? Is it really? Yeah, for sure. Like all the backlash from the Luca trade, What if they made a mistake like that? They took over and they made a mistake like that. And they're just, they hated. They may not have a problem with it, but it would tear me apart.

Starting point is 01:24:53 Yeah. And I want them to go on their own path. Yes, that's the part I'm thinking of, just the path. Yeah, whatever it may be, I want them to be themselves. I don't want them to be Mark Cuban's kid for their entire lives. Well, I think that there's like an amount of money that somebody can inherit,

Starting point is 01:25:09 where you have distorted the path. Yeah, because 100%, right? Because, you know, at some level, you want them to understand the value of money. Yeah. And not just to be something that's just there all the time, because why not? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:25:27 Yeah. Yeah. Mark, have you had fun with your money? Yeah. What's the best? What do you tell me? Tell me the fun stuff. I mean, owning the Mavs, winning the championship, running on the court, on the game winner,

Starting point is 01:25:40 no longer stressing about bills, being able to go, you know, I mean even like when I was younger, before you know I had a bee next to my name, I bought a lifetime pass on American Airlines and just being able to you know be at a bar, meet somebody or go call a friend and say let's go to Barcelona, let's go to you know wherever. Yeah I mean but more. Do you do impromptu trips a lot? Like do you go like. Not so much anymore, because the businesses have kids, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 01:26:09 You know. But at one point, you were like, let's just go. Oh, let's go. When I was single, I was like, hell no, let's go. And it was just like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, all the time. But now it's just more like stress reduction. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:26:21 You know, I can focus on my kids, focus on cost plus, and it opens the door. You know, I would say it's not so much the impromptu stuff that's rewarding, but with cost plus drugs, I'm getting emails almost every day saying, you know, I'll tell you one I got two weeks ago, where somebody sent me an email saying, I have cancer, and when I went to the pharmacy,

Starting point is 01:26:42 they told me it was gonna be $900 a month for this medication I needed. And I literally decided that I'd rather die sooner than put the financial stress on my wife and family. And then I found out about costplusdrugs.com and instead of $900, it was like $73. And now we can afford it. That shit feels good.

Starting point is 01:27:03 That feels good. That feels really good and that was all that I had a friend from college and Got they got in touch with me and he was on this drug droxodopa And he lost his insurance and he called up the local pharmacy the big one of the big chains It was gonna be $10,000 every three months our price is $73 a month and it's gone down since then and so when I Our price is $73 a month, and it's gone down since then. And so when I was in Nashville, and somebody walked up to me and just started hugging me and crying. Oh, that's so nice.

Starting point is 01:27:30 I mean, what's better than that? I mean, this system is so fucked up. It's so fucked, but we're fixing it, yeah. We're literally changing it. How do you wind down at night? You sound like you're pretty mentally active. What is down to? For a guy that's so driven, and I don't think there's anything wrong by the way with like the fact that somebody loves to work and like loves to do things

Starting point is 01:27:49 I mean, it's not hard work. It's not like I'm sweating my nuts I know but I'm saying you love here's the thing you love being in the game Yeah, like and for you the thrill of competition exists in business Yeah, and like you want to get involved. I get it like I totally get it. But is there a in business and like you wanna get involved. I get it, like I totally get it. But is there a downtime fun thing that's not worth it? Yeah, I go to the gym, I work out. Yeah, I hang out with my kids, go do this,

Starting point is 01:28:12 go to their games. You guys do family trips too? Not so much because they're teenagers, they decide, right? Oh, right. You know, but when we could force them to go force, they call it force family fun. See, we gotta force them for a while. Oh yeah, oh I will.

Starting point is 01:28:23 Oh yeah. Right now they want to be with us. Yeah, how old are they? And I love them. Six and nine. Oh yeah, oh I will. Right now they want to be with us. Yeah, they're six and nine. Oh yeah, perfect age. You know, it's so fun. We're gonna go to London next week for Tommy's shows and I like to travel with them. I think it's so important to learn the world.

Starting point is 01:28:37 The six year old will still hold my hand. Oh, I miss them. You tell yourself, you're like, this isn't gonna last. Oh, for sure, right? No. And my son gave me any hug, right? My favorite word in the universe is dad. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:28:51 Right? Just dad this, even if it's dad, it doesn't matter. Yeah. It's still, dad. Are you a religious guy? No. No. I know you're Jewish.

Starting point is 01:29:02 I'm Jewish. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I'm culturally religious, if you will, but I'm not going to services. No. And what do you watch at night? What are you watching? Um, not, you know, Mavs games, but other than

Starting point is 01:29:13 Mavs games, um. Murder. You watching Charles Manson dogs? No, no, I don't get into the dogs. Yeah. You know, I, I'm in the middle of night agent. Um, on Netflix. Oh, I've, I'll give you some better ones.

Starting point is 01:29:29 Yeah, they're all good, right? It's just like, Have you watched the agency yet? No, but my wife did. The agency is fantastic. Like for me, like if I can't make it to the gym and I'm on the bike at home, that's typically when I watch shows,

Starting point is 01:29:40 just anything to, you know, distract me while I'm working out. Speaking of working out, if you're wealthy, is there any excuse to be out of shape? Yeah, because some people go to dinners and go do all the fancy nine course dinners that are 9,000 calories. But shouldn't, if somebody with those resources,

Starting point is 01:29:59 isn't there like, you look great. Yes, you take care of yourself. Shouldn't there be a certain bar where it's like after you get this many zeros, like next to your name, they're like, hey man, you gotta start bringing it. No, no, no, no, it's not even that because it's like I was fat for a while, I mean, definitely chubby. And it's because I was taking advantage of every opportunity

Starting point is 01:30:18 and like there were no nights off. Right, yeah, yeah. It was just like going out, so I went from being like ripped to being, you know, porky pig. And it was just like, cause I was going out and, you know, and the pants are getting a little tighter. But then when you get older, it's more just because of age, because the consequences are a lot worse.

Starting point is 01:30:36 You know, and so it's like, okay, let me figure out what's best for me and the best way to stay in shape. And, and plus, you know, you know, I don't drink as much as I used to and that just made it a lot easier. Yeah, you like to drink. I like to drink too, but I got breast cancer so now I can't.

Starting point is 01:30:52 I'm okay though, I'm totally healed, I'm good. Oh good, good, good, good, good, good. But yeah, it's a carcinogen. I'm so bummed because I love alcohol. You know, there's a lot to be said for it, especially when there's a bottle right here. Your willpower is really good. What did you drink?

Starting point is 01:31:05 What was your jam? Usually just beer, Bud Light, Miller Light. You are from Pittsburgh. Yeah, right. Iron City Light, if I'm in Pittsburgh. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. But then Tito's and soda, you know.

Starting point is 01:31:17 But only because of the calories, not because I'm a big, you know, I'm not a wine drinker. Osos and soda. Osos and soda, exactly. Texas made, by the way. All the better reason. I never heard of Tito's I've heard of oh so When I drink alcohol, it's only oh so and every now and then oh, it's so there you go. That's fine

Starting point is 01:31:38 I like it on this too, but it sounds like you're not in the trap of like Rich guy stuff where stuff isn't exciting anymore. Like for instance, we found that you can pay a Russian company to take you out on a boat and hunt Somali pirates. Is that something you would be interested in doing? Like to go shoot them and kill them? Well, here's the thing. It's just rolling the dice. So what it is, do they know that the Somali pirates have guns and can shoot back? Well, it's the Russians are wild bro. So what they do is you gotta pay between $7500 and I think $12,000 to go on a boat that will pass through the strait that usually has Somali pirates.

Starting point is 01:32:17 Do they play Russian roulette while they're waiting? And then you just have there like a 50 caliber and like an RPG and then they're like, if you see one one let her rip You know, so yeah, it's No, that is not like For family fun that's not hey kids Shoot away right that are hunting endangered species you guys don't want to do that? No. See, you're so grounded, man. That's the definition of grounded.

Starting point is 01:32:48 Now I want to just shoot some molly pirates and vote. It's the thing is that with the, I mean, those are extreme examples, but I think the thing that is like refreshing in a way is that so many people or people that a lot of times have a lot of money, there's just like this entitlement that comes with it. Like I should be able to do it.

Starting point is 01:33:04 And we see it, we see it, you know, very public people like that. That's just not my style. But I mean, there's a lot of people who think I'm a jerk, right? And it's just like more, but I like to challenge people intellectually, right? I like to bully up, you know, not bullying down, but you get into some real X wars. You definitely have it out with people. You let people go back and forth. Oh yeah, I don't mind, challenge me. You can change my mind, fine, I'm here to learn.

Starting point is 01:33:32 But I like that challenge. So that's probably my other time killer. But I'm more on Blue Sky now than I am on X. What's Blue Sky? Blue Sky is kind of an alternative, and I'm M.Cuban there. And they've got like 33 million users. But we're-

Starting point is 01:33:46 It's a social media platform? It's like the guy who started Twitter started Blue Sky. And it's more extensible. Jack? Yeah, Jack did, yeah. And so, yeah, I'm on there all the time. But it leans, where Twitter leans right, Blue Sky leans left.

Starting point is 01:34:01 I got you. So if I wanna argue politics, Republican politics, I'll be on X. If I want to argue or support Democratic politics, I'll be on blue sky. And is it completely like far fetched to believe that you would run for office? Yeah, completely.

Starting point is 01:34:16 Completely. No. I wouldn't put my family through that. That's the real reason. But without the family. Oh yeah, if I was single, it'd be like, let's go. Let's go. Yeah, let's go because, yeah, it didn't matter. Yeah. That's so. That's the real reason. But without the family. Oh yeah, if I was single, it'd be like, let's go. Let's go. Yeah, let's go because yeah, it didn't matter.

Starting point is 01:34:26 Yeah. That's so true. Wow. It just destroys your private life, terrible. I mean, yeah, I have no private life as it is. Yeah. But just like the grief. I mean, I sold the Mavs because I just told you

Starting point is 01:34:37 I didn't want them to go through the shit, right? Yeah. Now imagine running for president. Oh my God. There's nothing that can prepare anyone for that, really. No, no, no. It's a horrible job. Yeah, I could deal with it,

Starting point is 01:34:47 but it's not even a job that I really want. Yeah. You know? And plus with healthcare and the thing we're working on there, if I can change healthcare, That's true. I'm happy with that. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:34:59 Because that, I mean, no one likes healthcare the way it is. No. Right, so it's like, okay, that's a win. That's good for the legacy. What's your thing on, because you've also been pretty outspoken about AI, right? It's like, so there's so many possibilities. Yeah, there's no limit.

Starting point is 01:35:16 There's no limit. Like in our business, there's a lot of, I would say on the creative side, there's a lot of apprehension resistance. People are not thrilled with the idea. No, it should be the opposite. But they're not because what the reason, one of the main reasons is that, you know, like studios, for instance, could and have had AI do treatments, write-ups of things,

Starting point is 01:35:40 where writers then see this as like a threat to their... No, because you still need to be able to tell a story. Yeah. And you still need to know able to tell a story. Yeah. And you still need to know the beginning, middle, and end. True. And you still need to know your audience. And AI can propose a million things in a second, but then somebody's got to go through and decide

Starting point is 01:35:55 what they're going to put their money into. Right. AI is not going to hit your bank account and then produce a movie for you, produce a podcast or whatever. Sure. And using the technology, you guys could extend. So like, have you guys looked at Notebook LM?

Starting point is 01:36:08 No. Oh my God. So bring up Notebook LM, the podcast feature. It is insane. So literally like you've got your rundown list, you could feed your rundown list into it and have it go look up things and do summaries of all those things and then

Starting point is 01:36:25 have it create a podcast. And the podcast sounds like real. Wait, I don't understand. So like I'm into listening to an advice podcast. I'm listening to Joe Rogan. I'm listening to whatever murder podcast and it mashes the three together. No, no, no, no, no, no. So like you just want to do a general podcast like this about all the different topics, like a traditional radio show type thing, right? And you take your rundown list like you guys have. Oh, right. And you know, like you guys had all your topics.

Starting point is 01:36:53 Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah. And so all your topics, right? Gotcha. And then you send it out and say, do the homework on these with... We should do that. And then put it in there and you'll have these two people talking just like we're talking. Oh my God.

Starting point is 01:37:06 Oh, and it's insane. It's insane. For business it's great because you can take your training manuals, your onboarding manuals, all these different things. Because kids, particularly, they don't want to read, they just want to listen so you can be walking, taking your walk or on a bike or whatever and listening to your training guidelines. That sounds like a regular podcast

Starting point is 01:37:26 and they make it entertaining. But that sounds kind of scary on one end, but you can start training it to do the things that you want it to do with your voices. So if you wanted to pick the topics and fill in the information you want discussed in this podcast, instead of having one and the shows the way you have now, you can add a thousand of them. That's amazing. Yeah, and it's just, what's this?

Starting point is 01:37:50 This is an actual audio example of it? Ever feel like you're just drowning in information? Oh, tell me about it. These are the two people. Research papers, articles, like even a whole set of books on one topic. Right. And you just need to like get a handle on it all. It's a struggle.

Starting point is 01:38:05 Yeah. And there's got to be a better way. Oh, there definitely is. Well, that's what we're diving into today. Okay. Notebook LM. Interesting. Oh my god. It's this experimental AI research assistant thing Google's come up with. Really fascinating stuff. Yeah. Literally, so you know, these are not real people. Right. these are AI voices. These are AI voices that could be your voice. Let's do a YMH one. We should do a full episode. With our stupid topics.

Starting point is 01:38:30 Yeah. When you're in London, we just put out this. Yeah. Our rundown. Tom took a shit today. It's insane. Do you then, I mean, it feels like the natural thing for anybody in business to do is figure out how AI can help these different parts, right?

Starting point is 01:38:44 Yes. I mean, look what you're using right now, right? So, you know, you guys have been in radio and the industry forever, right? And think going back when you had your first, you know, used to be they played records and there was a DJ that just spoke. And then all of a sudden there were the different playback systems, right? And then you had editing and then, you know, the DJs were editing right on the spot, different songs. Technology has influenced every industry always. And it's no different now. But the difference is, like going back to PCs and then software and going from analog

Starting point is 01:39:16 to digital, you could try and kind of extrapolate where things were going. With AI, there's no way you would have anticipated what we just heard. Right. You know, and it goes into a thousand, a zillion different directions. Are you investing heavily in AI? Yeah. I mean, but more importantly, just trying to learn it. Learn what the possibilities are. Right. Because like for kids, they're going to grow up.

Starting point is 01:39:37 This will be native to them. Yeah. For us, we've got to put in the effort to learn, but like on my Instagram feed now, it used to be, you know, sports, sports, sports, sports, business, but whatever. Now it's AI hack, AI hack, AI hack, AI hack, new AI software, new AI software, because it's changing so rapidly, but it's to me, it's fun. It's fun to learn.

Starting point is 01:39:56 Yeah. That's very cool. We should have fun with that. You can, right? So we're taking a break. Now we have, you know, yeah. You know, you know, it's interesting. I'm listening to you speak

Starting point is 01:40:05 in the way that your mind works, it seems to me that you're always looking towards the future. Like you're looking for what's undiscovered yet. Is that how your business mind works? 100%, yeah, you're the first one to bring it up. Steve Jobs called everything, said everything is a remix. Right, when you take what's already in place and then you add whatever value you can add to it

Starting point is 01:40:26 to get it to the next place. When we started AudioNet, which was the first streaming company, it was like, okay, here's the internet and here's how we listen to Indiana basketball over distances, because the internet solves that. HD, well, here's high definition, TV's going digital,

Starting point is 01:40:43 and even though the first high definition televisions in 2001 when we started HDNet were $25,000 for a screen like that, I knew the price was coming down. Right, so it was just a question of when. Now with this, with AI, it's not a question of if it's going to change things, the only question is how. And who's going to do it.

Starting point is 01:41:02 And so by informing yourself, you could be a. I can figure it out. I can stay ahead, so I can say okay, this is how and who's going to do it. And so by informing yourself, you can figure it out. I can stay ahead so I can say, okay, this is how this works. So now, like what we just talked about, once I saw Notebook LLM and the podcast feature, it wasn't, okay, what's going to happen to podcasters? It was where are there situations where people don't want to read, but like to consume information via audio and or video because when you talk to kids today,

Starting point is 01:41:28 they're not big readers. You know, your kids aren't, as much as you're gonna want them to read, more stuff is gonna be, it's different. And it's not that they're not learning, it's that they're learning differently. And so for kids who are learning differently, what can we do?

Starting point is 01:41:44 I like that. I like that idea, especially shit that you don't want to read, like manuals to technical things. Well, even stuff, like to get your rundown. So you literally could use Notebook LM or just Gemini or ChatGPT or whatever. And they have just, you can just list it and just say, do me a research summary

Starting point is 01:42:05 of all these topics using the latest news. Like ChatGPT has these task features where they'll go out and they'll look it up, just like Google Alerts would work. And you can have them summarize it for all the topics you're interested in, or you can say, give me the hottest 20 topics that are being discussed across the internet and see what it comes back with to see, make sure you're not missing anything. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:42:29 Right, because it takes time for you to research all this and you've got to dig in and you've got all your sources. Having a research assistant seems like a... It's brilliant. It's brilliant and it'll save you so much time. And so learning how to use these things. Okay, what are the number one trending topics on Twitter, on Blue Sky, on Instagram? What are the number one hashtags on Instagram? You do this? This is how you do your research? No, but I

Starting point is 01:42:53 could. Yeah. I want to know what allows me to do it. And so when I'm when I'm trying to look at an industry or a company or I'm doing something, then I'll go on there and I'll, you know, now the research capabilities are just blowing up. It's moving so fast. So there's tools like deep research. And I'll say, okay, tell me about this company. Now it doesn't get everything, right? But it's just like if you hired a research assistant,

Starting point is 01:43:18 they're not gonna get everything, right? So if you have an intern here or whoever, and you're like your social media, whoever, you know, your producers, and you say like your social media whoever, you know your producers And you say find me all the hot topics and then you say oh, I just heard about this I was listening or I saw this and you add to it. It's no different It's not gonna be a hundred percent, but it's but it saves you time. That's true. Dang, dude What topic can you talk about forever? Healthcare these days. I mean I could go all day on healthcare

Starting point is 01:43:44 yeah, it's just like that's where my brain is right now because I wanna change it. And everybody thinks it's impossible to change, but it's not. It's actually, healthcare is really simple. You know, you go to the doctor and they prescribe you a medication or don't. You go to the doctor, you know, they say you're fine.

Starting point is 01:44:02 Maybe you need some more, you know, care for whatever. And there's only two questions. What are they gonna charge you and how are you gonna pay for it? Yeah. And those two questions have been so complicated by everybody that it's like, why is it like this? And so my whole mission and starting with Cost Plus

Starting point is 01:44:18 and we're doing this thing called Cost Plus Wellness for the healthcare side, is just to simplify healthcare by moving all these extraneous companies out. They must fucking hate you. Oh, they hate me. They hate me. You just hear the shit they said.

Starting point is 01:44:33 Because they know that when you remove these pieces, it's actually not hard. Right. It's over complicated. It's over complicated and the CEOs who make the decisions on health, self-employed, there's companies that self-insure, meaning they don't use the insurance component

Starting point is 01:44:51 of insurance companies, they take on that risk themselves. And I'm going to them and saying, look, you're getting ripped off. You know, you're paying too much, you're not getting the care you need, you're getting pushed in these directions that you shouldn't go. And they're like, I didn't know that. And so I'm just spending all this time educating

Starting point is 01:45:07 CEOs and each one that I get to change is one step closer to the whole system. And so changing and that's what I'm doing. That's an awesome mission. Yeah. How would you change? This is completely not as important, but would you change anything in basketball today? Oh, there's a ton of shit I would change change what's like a top three or whatever Um top one so, you know people talk about too many threes that is a big criticism of today So the question is why? if you're behind a three-point line and you're shooting three a Defender if they're even in anywhere if they're in the landing zone where your feet might come down

Starting point is 01:45:43 It's a foul and that's three free throws. Yeah So in other words, the three-point shooter is so protected that they can't even put their feet anywhere near, the defender can't put their feet anywhere near. You go an inch inside the three-point line, they can beat the shit out of you. And it's called incidental contact. You get closer to the basket, the more, the closer you get, the more- Contact's allowed. You get closer to the basket, the more, the closer you get, the more contact and abuse can happen. And so you've got to change that so that you call the game by the rules inside the line so that they're not so disadvantaged when you're shooting a shot inside

Starting point is 01:46:17 the three point line. And to compensate for that, now, you know, they've let offensive players like lower their shoulder and knock over Defenders or knock them out of the way to get space and that makes the game worse, too Yeah, so whenever you see a dry like Jake shake Gilchrist Alexander, you know most likely the MVP Yeah, he gets down by the free throw line. Boom. He's lowering his shoulder and taking a step back and he's money. Yeah Five years ago, you couldn't lower your shoulder like that And so we need some rule changes.

Starting point is 01:46:45 You need some rule changes. Yeah. So, you know, that to me, that that's one of the biggest, you know, Adam Silver talked about shortening the game. I believe it. You believe it. Yeah, I believe it. I really do because it's a likely yet to 40 minutes.

Starting point is 01:46:59 40. Yeah, because it's a commitment to watch a whole NBA game. And we're so used to right now consuming NBA highlights on social media. Totally. Like your kids, if they're becoming sports fans, are they boys, girls? They're boys.

Starting point is 01:47:13 Boys, okay, so they're starting to, your oldest is starting to get into sports and follow it, right? And you're trying to keep them off of social media, but on YouTube, we'll see highlights and everything. Yeah. Right, that's how they're gonna grow up. Where you, you know, the three of us had family teams.

Starting point is 01:47:26 In Pittsburgh it was the Steelers, it was the Pirates, no matter how bad the Penguins. In Dallas it was the Mavericks and the Cowboys. Now it's players on social media. And it's hard to commit to watching a full game. And if you look at ratings, there's an inverse relationship between the amount of actual playing time and the ratings. If you watch an NFL game, there's 11 to 15 minutes of actual playing time.

Starting point is 01:47:50 You can watch a play, go grab your dude wipes, run to the restroom, use a whole package of dude wipes, come back before the next play. It's crazy. You can't do that with the NBA. Do you think that there's a real possibility that that could pass? That they could reduce it? Not right the second, no, but the way Adam is and he's smart, the commissioner of the NBA, he socializes these things and then over time and just depends where the numbers go

Starting point is 01:48:12 because we have a brand new TV contract starting next year with a lot of streaming providers and it'll be really, really interesting to see how it all plays out. Now one other thing we wanted to ask is that, I really feel like when you ask people, what's your favorite thing, there's always something false in there

Starting point is 01:48:34 because people have this natural ambition to want to say the right thing or say the more impressive thing. I agree with that. And that being that way, I think one of the people that you can only get like the most honest takes from is somebody who can actually afford to get

Starting point is 01:48:52 back it up. Yeah. So I wanted to ask a series of like, what's your favorite of this? Where you just tell whether it's expensive or not. So you're a basketball guy uh-huh favorite sneakers um Adidas Adidas Okay, let's see them which ones oh Cuz they're light for when I work Nike socks with Nike socks that I get for free from the Mavericks there you go

Starting point is 01:49:17 But yeah, so when I go um play basketball shoot baskets workout. I like cuz they're lighter later. Okay. Okay, so there you go It's an honest take I believe you yeah t- later. Okay, okay. So there you go. It's honest take I believe you Yeah t-shirt you're a famous t-shirt guy. Yeah, do you have a favorite brand of t-shirt? Yeah, um, I like t-shirt classics and then Probably yeah, that's so what I have. Yeah, and then I like Nike. I like this so not $2,300 Loro Piano I know I do have some Loro Piano. I can never remember their name, but I do have some, but not for t-shirts. Okay. Right. I have

Starting point is 01:49:50 them for like dress shirts. Oh, nice. Yeah. So they're my favorite dress shirts. There you go. See, what about like pants? How do you pronounce it again? Loro Piana. Loro Piana. Piana. I never knew. I just knew it was like the Italian company that I was born from. Like suits and stuff. Where are you buying? So, I don't really buy suits. So, when I'm shooting Shark Tank, the wardrobe director would come in and say, okay, time for new suits. And they'd bring someone, they'd measure me.

Starting point is 01:50:19 And I like Tom Ford because I don't have to wear a belt. That's why I like Tom Ford. That was the only reason, right? I don't have to worry about it. These are all practical things. I like it. Because I didn't have to worry about bringing a belt. I like Tom Ford because I don't have to wear a belt. That's why I like Tom Ford. That was the only reason, right? I don't have to worry about it. These are all practical things, I like it. Because I didn't have to worry about bringing a belt. I like Tom Ford. Okay, Tom Ford suit.

Starting point is 01:50:29 See, I believe you. I do. I believe you, Mark Cuban. It's the truth. You're very down to earth. I'm trying to find chinks in the armor. I'm not seeing any. This one means a lot to me, so please take your time. I'm really trying, you guys. Okay.

Dude, I just test drove the new all electric Escalade. It has a 450 mile range. That's what I'm talking about, right?

Starting point is 01:52:50 That's impressive. Yeah, because I'd look at that. I'm not like, I like the Kia and it's cheap, right? It's not like the price matters to me all that much. But the other thing I liked about it, it doesn't try to be too fancy. Yeah. It's got like, your turn signal is like, turn signal, right?

Starting point is 01:53:06 Whereas on the Tesla, you've gotta find it and push the button. And that's like, when you're driving, you can't pay attention to the road as much. And so, the best part is, so my 15 year old is learning to drive now. He's got his learner's permit. And so, yeah.

Starting point is 01:53:23 We got my oldest daughter of Volvo when she learned to drive and then when she went away to college it was passed down to my middle daughter who was gonna need it when she goes away to school. And so my son's talking about, okay dad here's the kind of cars I want. I'm like, Kia baby. He's like, it's not cool dad.
