24
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:30.200
<v Speaker 2>we got an intern in the house. We're hanging out,

25
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.079
<v Speaker 2>unpaid intern. Don't shoot at her all right, Okay, no

<v Speaker 2>matter what, don't do that. Uh, this is gonna be

27
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:37.359
<v Speaker 2>awesome though. We're gonna have a great show. I just

28
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.359
<v Speaker 2>want to dive right in. Yesterday we had a very

29
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:44.079
<v Speaker 2>special extravaganza. We were live from the American Airline Center.

30
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:48.599
<v Speaker 2>We we had our draft coverage, the MAVs draft draft,

31
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:52.040
<v Speaker 2>Cooper flag number one overall, and then we simulcasted three

32
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:57.159
<v Speaker 2>hours of the MAVs television broadcast, which featured Jeff skin Wade,

33
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.560
<v Speaker 2>Mark Followell, and Teddy Emrick and then all sorts of guests.

34
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:03.519
<v Speaker 2>And I want to say, I thought that was one

35
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:09.879
<v Speaker 2>of the most ambitious television productions and simulcast events in

36
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.680
<v Speaker 2>DFW sports history.

37
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:13.680
<v Speaker 1>And here's here's why.

38
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:17.479
<v Speaker 2>Because it's for all these different platforms, which was crazy.

39
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.120
<v Speaker 2>It was live on the Eagle, it was live on television,

40
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.719
<v Speaker 2>it was streamed everywhere. But it was also a live

41
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.919
<v Speaker 2>performance for a stadium. Yeah you know what I mean.

42
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:31.039
<v Speaker 2>And so you are you're entertaining eight to twelve thousand

43
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:32.280
<v Speaker 2>people at a state and do you know how many

44
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:34.599
<v Speaker 2>people are there? I think there was five five. That

45
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:38.000
<v Speaker 2>was the estimate. Brad Townshend had, Hey, I think he's hating.

46
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it was definitely twenty thousand packed. No, but

47
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.719
<v Speaker 2>it was, you know, a live show for all of

48
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 2>those people, but also live across all these mediums and

49
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:50.479
<v Speaker 2>with all of these different guests.

50
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 1>And I left.

51
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:53.960
<v Speaker 2>I was going to try to get home, so I could,

52
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:56.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, driving from the AAC back home to the

53
00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Prosperous line of border, it's about fifty minutes or now, dude,

54
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:02.400
<v Speaker 2>And so I wanted to get back there to be

55
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:05.000
<v Speaker 2>able to watch the Cooper flag pick to see the video.

56
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.080
<v Speaker 2>So I listened to a full hour of that, and man,

57
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was great. Mark Orcguire is one of

58
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.039
<v Speaker 2>my favorite old time players in the history of DFW

59
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:17.240
<v Speaker 2>sports kind of has not been really connected with the organization.

60
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:19.599
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of like Wan Gonzalez and the Rangers a

61
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:22.280
<v Speaker 2>little bit or something like that, and the comparison something

62
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:24.319
<v Speaker 2>odd there. I didn't know what it was, but for

63
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.080
<v Speaker 2>him to be invited to be a part of that,

64
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:31.360
<v Speaker 2>he was openly sobbing and loving the adulation he was

65
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:35.800
<v Speaker 2>getting from Dallas fans. It's a very unique situation to

66
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:39.479
<v Speaker 2>be sitting next to a man that you're interviewing in

67
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:43.159
<v Speaker 2>front of five thousand people, who is crying because you

68
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.840
<v Speaker 2>do not know what to do. Yeah, you know, and

69
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:48.879
<v Speaker 2>my wife makes fun of me because you know I

70
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.599
<v Speaker 2>cry all the time anyways, And so I was tell him,

71
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:53.039
<v Speaker 2>I just go. So you were crying, right, and I

72
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:56.080
<v Speaker 2>was like, I was thinking about it. I was considering it.

73
00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:59.159
<v Speaker 2>There is a tear welling up, but you don't know

74
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 2>what to do because you know there's an emotional moment

75
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:05.639
<v Speaker 2>and you don't want to talk on top of it,

76
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:08.400
<v Speaker 2>but you also want to like kind of, I don't know,

77
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.599
<v Speaker 2>can I help this person? When I was proud of you, dude,

78
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:13.800
<v Speaker 2>I thought you were very supportive because I would have

79
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:16.240
<v Speaker 2>been paralyzed by the moment and wouldn't have even spoken,

80
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.199
<v Speaker 2>and you were like supportive of him. You were like, dude, no, dude,

81
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:21.040
<v Speaker 2>let it out. I can't remember exactly how you worded it,

82
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:23.279
<v Speaker 2>but to me, it was like you were there supporting him,

83
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:25.560
<v Speaker 2>also not getting in the way of the thing and

84
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.000
<v Speaker 2>keeping everyone up to date that was listening on the

85
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.120
<v Speaker 2>radio or whatever that this is ongoing. I thought it

86
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.000
<v Speaker 2>was really well done. It's the other thing too, that

87
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:35.439
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know until I saw him walking out. He's

88
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:37.519
<v Speaker 2>got some sort of health issue that's happened in the

89
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.319
<v Speaker 2>last six months, and so he struggled to get up

90
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.240
<v Speaker 2>the stairs and so then I was like, oh, and

91
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:46.639
<v Speaker 2>then to get out of his chair. He was struggling

92
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:48.199
<v Speaker 2>to get out of his chair when this set was over.

93
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.199
<v Speaker 2>So I reached out to see if he wanted me

94
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.199
<v Speaker 2>to help him up, and he didn't. And then I

95
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:55.360
<v Speaker 2>realized that was a great idea because he's a big man.

96
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:57.439
<v Speaker 2>He just would have pulled me right back chair. I'm

97
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.720
<v Speaker 2>a little scrawny guy. God. So but it was what, like,

98
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.759
<v Speaker 2>how did he get detached from the organization and how

99
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:04.680
<v Speaker 2>did he get pulled back in?

100
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:05.639
<v Speaker 1>And what was that like?

101
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:09.439
<v Speaker 2>From what I understand, I mean, I'm not sure exactly

102
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.519
<v Speaker 2>whose idea it was. It might have even been Mike Marshall's.

103
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 2>But the idea of the night, and that's why you

104
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.759
<v Speaker 2>had a video from Troy Aikman. They had this whole

105
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:21.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, that's why Paige Becker's came out. The idea

106
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:22.839
<v Speaker 2>of the night is we haven't had a number one

107
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:28.199
<v Speaker 2>pick since Mark Aguire in nineteen eighty one, so let's

108
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.000
<v Speaker 2>see if we can get Mark Aguire back into the mix,

109
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:34.920
<v Speaker 2>and you know, Harp is kept up with him, and

110
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.680
<v Speaker 2>in fact, you remember me and Harp and Maguire did

111
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:41.519
<v Speaker 2>a podcast in twenty twenty one talking about all that.

112
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:42.319
<v Speaker 1>And Harp is.

113
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.800
<v Speaker 2>One who has been big on Mark was the best

114
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:47.839
<v Speaker 2>player you know I've ever played with. Mark need to

115
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:50.879
<v Speaker 2>have his number retired and so, but there's other people

116
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:52.839
<v Speaker 2>in the organization that a Cuban never felt that way.

117
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Cuban didn't want his number retired. I didn't want his

118
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.360
<v Speaker 2>number retired until Harp told me I was wrong, and.

119
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 1>I told you're wrong. Heah, it didn't impact you.

120
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Though, Yeah, And even Randy Galloway was like, I was

121
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:07.839
<v Speaker 2>too hard on Aguire, you know. And so you know

122
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:10.360
<v Speaker 2>what happened was Aguire forced his way out of here

123
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:13.959
<v Speaker 2>he was at and John McLeod, who was coach at

124
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.279
<v Speaker 2>the time, publicly said, you know, we need to get

125
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:20.399
<v Speaker 2>rid of Mark's attitude. Yeah, I'm paraphrasing. And so he

126
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:23.639
<v Speaker 2>went to Detroit to go play with his best friend

127
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.839
<v Speaker 2>Isaiah Thomas and win rings. While we got Adrian Dantley

128
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.199
<v Speaker 2>who was washed up and didn't even report like we

129
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.000
<v Speaker 2>traded for a washed up player. We traded our best

130
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.839
<v Speaker 2>player for a washed up player that didn't want to

131
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.199
<v Speaker 2>be here. It took a week to show up like

132
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.279
<v Speaker 2>it sucked, and it was the beginning of the end.

133
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:44.120
<v Speaker 2>So that happened in eighty eight, and then a year

134
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:47.680
<v Speaker 2>and a half later, the Mavericks were the worst franchise

135
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:51.240
<v Speaker 2>in the NBA for a decade. So it's not just

136
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:54.240
<v Speaker 2>the Aguire trade, but it's all the horrible moves they made,

137
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:57.279
<v Speaker 2>and that was they went from Game seven of the

138
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Western Conference Finals to the worst team in the NBA.

139
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:03.360
<v Speaker 2>The thing about last night that I saw, and I

140
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.160
<v Speaker 2>saw this on social media. I don't know if this

141
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:07.759
<v Speaker 2>is because of you guys with your broadcast, and if

142
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.000
<v Speaker 2>it was, it might have been in part you might

143
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:10.800
<v Speaker 2>have made this happen.

144
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:11.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

145
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.800
<v Speaker 2>But seeing Dirk send a video on behalf of the

146
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:17.439
<v Speaker 2>MAVs to Cooper Flag was.

147
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Powerful and meaningful to me.

148
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, me too, because I don't know where that relationship

149
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.240
<v Speaker 2>is right now. Yeah, you know, And but Dirk is

150
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:28.120
<v Speaker 2>loyal to MAVs fans more than anything, and this is

151
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:32.759
<v Speaker 2>his organization. Yeah, but Dirk shot a video for Cooper Flag,

152
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:34.439
<v Speaker 2>and I thought that was so classy.

00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>So awesome.

154
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I think I think Dirk is going to

00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:38.800
<v Speaker 2>be a huge Cooper Flag fan.

156
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:39.959
<v Speaker 1>That's his kind of guy.

157
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Dirk showed up and was all about his business, you know,

158
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:45.680
<v Speaker 2>And so you don't think he's going to connect with
