I think you 24 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:49.159 should watch it again. They could have chopped thirty eight minutes off that thing. 25 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.680 Well get it down to ninety minutes. That okay, that's that would 26 00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:59.519 be the worst punishment ever. Watch it again. I mean it's sixty eight 27 00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:05.239 percent. Dude, you missed a lot, miss anything, especially the weird 28 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:08.400 they take the old guy. I don't left this out. It might be 29 00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:13.319 a bit of a major plot point. They take the old Captain m and 30 00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.479 they go to take him down to the cave and they have performed Watch it 31 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:25.759 again. I swear I would wear women's underpants over my action slacks for a 32 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:32.280 month before I'd spend two hours watching that thing again again. What what? 33 00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:37.120 What? The words on tip of my tongue, the movie, the Halloween 34 00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.639 movie that's scary, the girl folloween she gets lifted up by the spirits, 35 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:46.439 the oh yeah, I just watched it, Deliverance, the excerpt Exorcist they 36 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:53.199 haven't they have an extra and that old Captain's crew comes back as skeletons and 37 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.520 chases about to say terrible. Okay, well, so I'm with you. 38 00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:59.280 That review of Pirates had me hard as a rock. I was in a 39 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:04.960 pertinently harm and a horn driving down the highway. Just couldn't stop. I 40 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.319 thought it would be funny, but I didn't know it'd be so horny. 41 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:12.960 Yeah, it was a very erotic treat. Yeah. While we're on the 42 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:16.120 topic of adult films that appeared on Cinemax during my youth, I'd like one 43 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:22.960 of you guys to also review Lord of the g Strings. I'm voting for 44 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:27.199 Soroy. I'd like to hear his review, and also I'd like to hear 45 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:30.680 his review of Christina's reaction to the film, because I think that would be 46 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:36.599 just great. Great radio if that exists, Lord of the g Strings, 47 00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.360 because I like Lord of the Ring stuff. That sounds kind of funny, 48 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:45.520 like how that was like billion dollar movies, so expensive, and they're gonna 49 00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:50.800 have to wear a stupid hat. Ptendre. There's some like some wherever they 50 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.039 shoot in the California, like the little mountain they find they have to go 51 00:03:54.120 --> 00:04:01.120 out there.

We're like, he's six' ten. 104 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:09.639 We just pictured you in this bed diagonally. I have to ask, 105 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.879 what's the bed situation when you're a man of your size. Well, when 106 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.519 I'm in at home, it's a decent sized bed, more of a cal 107 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.199 quen. You know, you said I'm diagonaling. I'm pretty much diagnal right 108 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.920 now, because I figure you're not at home yet. You haven't, you 109 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.639 know, Dallas is your new home, so it is? Is it a 110 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:33.679 custom bed at home? Not necessarily, just pretty much one of those regular 111 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.600 days that you can find in any mattress place. But it's more for sure, 112 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:39.320 just like a cal quing. Okay, I would always look for either 113 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.879 a cal queen or a king, you know, either what it works. 114 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.120 But you gotta go full diagonal, right man? That hotel rooms, yeah, 115 00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:50.039 pretty much in the hotel rooms, yeah, pretty much is diagnaled as 116 00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:52.200 the way to go for me. Do you just get traded at the end 117 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.320 of last week and then here we are, like five days later. There's 118 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:00.519 no way you're settled yet. How does it work? In your bag? 119 00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.840 Sent over to where you're going? And I'm sure you're staying in a hotel 120 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:05.759 near the arena, I would imagine. But what's your life been like last 121 00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.080 few days? I mean it's just been, you know, pretty much just 122 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.440 chilling in the hotel. I broughably a decent amount of stuff with me, 123 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.039 just you know, to kind of hold me for the time being. Minical 124 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.000 house hunt probably all strawbreak and whatnot, but really just you know, taking 125 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:24.320 my time to adjust. I've been back and forth through Dallas and stuff as 126 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.799 a kid, just like a you traveling with family. So yeah, he's 127 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.919 growing up in Arkansas. That makes, you know, logistical sense for you 128 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:37.919 to come to the really ate nothing new to me, but just living up 129 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.200 here now it's most differently, you know, dude, I learn something about 130 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.320 you last night, though I thought it was something I kind of connected with 131 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:48.000 cause follow well. The guy that does play by play for Maps TV here 132 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:52.960 locally. He mentioned that you you went to high school in Arkansas and you 133 00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:56.080 played football, but you also were in marching band. Now my question is 134 00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:00.080 were you in one of those schools that was so small that you were one 135 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.200 of the dudes that had to go out at halftime in your football uniform and 136 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:09.320 play clarinet? Nah? No, So I only played football for one year 137 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:11.720 and I kind of called it quit after that year. I wasn't. I 138 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:16.840 wasn't really, you know, my expectations for myself was way higher than what 139 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:20.360 happened, and I understand I couldn't catch the cold of who was given to 140 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.519 me. So what about your musical career? Is this something you still dabble 141 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:26.679 in at all? Or you kind of put the clarinet down and said, 142 00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:30.200 you know what, I'm done with this. I'm full, full on dedicating 143 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:35.440 to to hoops. I've tried when it comes to just like the clarinet and 144 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:37.799 stuff. My wife got me a clarinet for Christmas last year. She well, 145 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.919 she is like really pushing me to just really just get back into it, 146 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.759 which I mean I want to. It's just I really just have to, 147 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.000 you know, find the motivation and find the time and all that good 148 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.559 stuff to do. Want to get back into it. So once I do 149 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:56.279 it, most definitely will be posted, it will be streams all that good 150 00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:58.320 stuff. Because because she wants to put me on a high ped of story 151 00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.320 it. She wants to show me off to the world, so I gotta 152 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.679 do it for her. She wants to be married to a musician, Daniel 153 00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:11.120 the NBA star just in enough right, Yeah, that's enough, Yeah, 154 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:13.799 all right. This is Daniel Gafford chilling with us. We are the home 155 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.480 of the Mavericks, this radio station you're on right now and honestly, welcome 156 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:20.879 to DFW. We couldn't be happier, and that obviously is impacted by two 157 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:26.440 wins and massive performances right out of the gate for you nineteen to nine in 158 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:31.200 game one and then seventeen rips yesterday. Dude, I kind of know the 159 00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.320 answer. But how's things going so far with you in your new squad? 160 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:39.080 I mean, everything's going great. You know. I feel like I've told 161 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:41.919 just any other media when I came here, just coming in, I felt 162 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:45.600 like I was already a part of the mold, you know, just came 163 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:46.919 in and guys were telling me just you know, being the right spot at 164 00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:50.120 the right time, which, in all honesty with my career I've been I'll 165 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:52.519 played with guys that you know, you be in the right spot at the 166 00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.759 right time, you get rewarded or you're in a position to get rebound at 167 00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:58.399 the end of the day, and then I'll just come play defense to this. 168 00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:01.799 Pretty much my main job is to come in and play defense. Brad 169 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.960 rebounds, have our interview, you know, catch lit passes, Daniels. 170 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:11.200 Obviously, you come in here and you feel a pretty desperate need that this 171 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:15.639 team has had for a long time, and productions just in two games has 172 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:18.759 been out of sight, you know, being fans ourselves and watching the games, 173 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.080 We're just like, okay, this makes sense. How is it like, 174 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:24.600 I know, you've only been you know, two games and maybe five 175 00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.600 or six days with the team. How does the vibe in the locker room 176 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.759 and the dudes kind of getting to know them a little bit? And I'm 177 00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.039 sure Luca being you know, the star of the team right now is his 178 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.720 presence is what it is. But I mean, how do you feel like 179 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.679 you're kind of gelling with the dudes as you as you come into a semi 180 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:46.759 foreign situation. Oh, I mean, it's it's like, you know, 181 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:48.759 perfect for me at the end of the day. Honest, it was like, 182 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:52.399 you know, me being back in college and all honesty, you know, 183 00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:54.279 I just came in took means to kind of like get you know, 184 00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:58.200 fully the injustice of talking to guys and stuff. With me, I'm pretty 185 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.440 pretty much of a quiet guy myself, but I really try to come out 186 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:03.360 of my shield a little bit more often and just kind of you know, 187 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.320 building those bonds and building those relationships with the team. It just it feels 188 00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:09.799 like that, you know, lolready been here, like I said, and 189 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:13.840 just most of the guys that I've talked to on the team and stuff, 190 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:18.000 you know, it's just you know, like we didn't know each other. 191 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:20.399 So you kind of feel like the vibe of the of the locker room kind 192 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:26.039 of fits your your personality type, you know, kind of more subdued and 193 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:30.080 chill and having a good time. But nothing, nothing too crazy or demonstrative. 194 00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:33.200 Nah, yeah, most definitely back. That's cool man, you know, 195 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:37.480 guys laughing and stuff. You know, they included me into a couple 196 00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:39.440 of conversations at first. Then you know, I just kind of follow suit. 197 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.000 This is one of your newest mavericks here on the Home of the MAVs. 198 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:48.000 Daniel Gafford. Now, you said a minute ago that you couldn't catch 199 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:52.320 a cold, but Saturday, what are your first minutes? First of all, 200 00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:54.600 awesome when you get entered into the game, six minutes into the game 201 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:58.279 on Saturday afternoon in the crowd gives you a big ovation that had to be 202 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:01.679 really cold. Luca kind of threw a Hell Mary to you, and you 203 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.039 went up and Randy moss that thing and then dunked at home and that was 204 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:09.159 pretty cool right off the bat. Yeah, most depf you know, just 205 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:11.720 playing with a guy like that. Like I said, they told me to 206 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:16.120 be in the right spot at the right time. You didn't get y'all would 207 00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.840 take getting somewhat of his like line of vision, and he'll find you at 208 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:20.720 the end of the day. And if he doesn't, it's going to have 209 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:22.759 to be a lay pass. He's going to shoot it that can be in 210 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.960 a position to get the rebound. He just attracts so much attention in to 211 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.440 Kyrie, and you know he's just doing for all the other guys on the 212 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:31.879 floor, So you know, you just kind of have to be in a 213 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:35.799 right spot that we worked on, we practice on, because the way we 214 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.519 game plan is literally just like, Okay, Luca's gonna have maybe two or 215 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:43.960 three guys come come and try to trap him. Somebody's gonna be open. 216 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:48.080 I mean the same with Kyrie too. I mean I'm playing in the NBA. 217 00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:52.039 You obviously playing across the league there's elite point guards. Is it even 218 00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:58.279 more elevated playing on a team with Luca and Kyrie where your head has to 219 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:03.840 be maybe more heightened on a swivel to get that unexpected pass or or have 220 00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:09.039 that assist delivered in places that maybe you weren't accustomed to before. Oh yeah, 221 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:13.840 for sure. I mean just being late for anything, honestly, expecting 222 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:16.080 me unexpected because you know, comes to Luka. You know, you never 223 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:18.120 know when you're going to get but he's going to get it to you. 224 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:22.480 With Kyrie, he's going to get down hill. It may be a lay 225 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:24.039 pass, you know, to be just coming over to try to block the 226 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:28.320 shide, or maybe a pass over the top because they're trying to blitch here. 227 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.399 So it's just the best of both worlds in all honesty, and I 228 00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:33.759 just have to be in a position where I can kind of progress and make 229 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.919 plays out of the pocket. I love it so far. It's so funny. 230 00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:41.200 I mean, it feels to us who've been watching every game this season 231 00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:46.320 that just this injection of its life and everything we needed comes in the form 232 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:50.039 of you and PJ. But I want to talk one more thing. Last 233 00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:52.080 night, so seventeen boards kind of steals the show, but five should have 234 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:56.080 been eighteen if Luca hadn't touched it before it landed in his hands. Get 235 00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:00.480 him to stop stealing her his dozen rebounds he gets there, but five blocks 236 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:04.759 as well, So what's a better feeling? Like the nastiest scream dunk you 237 00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:10.720 can imagine, or swatting someone into the into the first row. I would 238 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:12.559 think it's a make sure of both, because there are plays sometimes where I 239 00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:15.279 get a block that I can low down and get a dog too. But 240 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:19.039 really just in all, honestly, I love the energy on a defensive end 241 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:23.039 because that's what gets me going offensively, you know, just kind of building 242 00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:26.120 my get my blood boiling on the other end and running the floor and going 243 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:30.759 down and doing the right thing on the opposite. Into this is Daniel Gafford, 244 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.000 one of the newest Dallas maths joining us. So you know when when 245 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:37.159 we make trades like this for all of our sports teams in town and so 246 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:40.399 that we do when we're on the radio and get to talk about you guys 247 00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:42.200 lives, we go dig in and see what we can find out about you. 248 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:47.120 Get to know you right, and I read something about you and dogs. 249 00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:51.559 Do you own a bunch of dogs? Yeah? So I have four 250 00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:55.279 in my position now I have one back in Arkansas. Hell yeah, so 251 00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:57.639 four in your position like today, Like as you speak, you like we're 252 00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:02.799 able to bring when you have traded, not not necessarily today but just really 253 00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:04.559 just in my household, you know, back in DC and stuff. So 254 00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:12.119 I have a pick, two Frenchies and a Cordy back around ah my pit 255 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:18.680 his name Malo frencheese are Yoshi and snow. Then my Cordier name's Peets. 256 00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:22.799 And you got one back in Arkansas. Yeah, his name is Mellow. 257 00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:27.519 He's a husky shepherd nicks. Wow, Dang, if I had room and 258 00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:33.039 money, I would have so many. Good for you? Do they all 259 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:37.000 sleep on your Do they sleep with you in your California King? Now we 260 00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:42.240 keep them in their own little area in our household so they can kind of 261 00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:45.680 be separate and stuff. But well, my wife tells me all the time 262 00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:48.200 whenever I go on roads, rich and stuff, she just brings one of 263 00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:52.440 them up to sleep with her because she feels lonely. Let me ask one 264 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:56.240 more than Daniel Efford when I thought this was what Kevin was about to ask. 265 00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:57.200 But you how do you find out? How do you find out you're 266 00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:00.640 getting traded? I mean, you know your name's at least being thrown around, 267 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:02.759 But I mean it's got to be weird to be suited up for one 268 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:06.240 team and then someone tells you, hey, your whole life is getting flipped 269 00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:11.720 upside down? How do you find that information out? Whenever I was in 270 00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.759 into the facility the same day, little Dawk as he had called me, 271 00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:17.920 like right when I got to the faciity because we were getting ready to go 272 00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:19.799 to Boston. He was telling me. He was like, Okay, we're 273 00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:22.880 going to try to seet. We're gonna I think that there's gonna be a 274 00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:27.559 deal with you in Dallas coming up. So it's not, then I'll call 275 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:30.279 you and let you know. And if so, I'll call you and let 276 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:33.000 you know if we called me again, like maybe ten fifteen minutes later, 277 00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:37.119 told me that I was in the Dallas So that's how I kind of found 278 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:40.880 out. And then after that I went in to the facility, said Michael 279 00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:42.480 Byez, grabbed a couple of pair of shoes, and you know, head 280 00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:45.720 it up here. Business as usual, man, Well we are. We 281 00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:48.799 are proud to have you here, and so far, so good. You 282 00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:51.960 know how like back in the day, a little kid would go up to 283 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:53.519 a star athlete and say, I want you to hit a home run for 284 00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:57.319 me. You know, we have a request to welcome you and our radio 285 00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:02.880 show. I see you shot one career three pointer in your entire career, 286 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:06.599 and we'd like it a hoist one up in the game against the Spurs, 287 00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:08.200 and then we'll know it's like kind of for us, but if it goes 288 00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:11.440 in, it's also for the team. Just for no reason out of nowhere, 289 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:18.680 just launch a three. Okay. I went through your whole game log 290 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:22.880 and there's one, and you're, oh, for one of your career and 291 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:26.400 I'm like, my guess is end of the half and you just chuck one 292 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:29.359 and it technically counts the three. But do you remember how and why you 293 00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:33.799 launched that one? If I'm not mistake, I can't remember which one it 294 00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:36.799 was. I think it was when we played Chicago and DC. That's the 295 00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:40.440 one. I think that was the one. Yeah, it was kind of 296 00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:41.759 like at the end of the shot clock, at the end of the one 297 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:45.319 of the two, right, bro, you got to get your percentage up 298 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:48.880 to fifty for your career, man, so you got to launch one tomorrow. 299 00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:55.640 Stop.
