Speaker 2: now one new location at the Dallas Farmer's Market. Skin
Speaker 2: you went down there this weekend, would you have? I
Speaker 2: had a little I have to have a brisket toast
Speaker 2: out every time I go, oh my god, that's my
Speaker 2: favorite thing in the damn world. I had a cold
Speaker 2: roller Town big German because they got that in juice
Speaker 2: errem on tap that's from our brewery Rollertown up there
Speaker 2: in Slana. And then we shared a big We got
Speaker 2: like a pound of turkey and all cut some off
Speaker 2: of it, threw down on that.
Speaker 1: The sauce is great. Then we got a side.
Speaker 2: Of the corn the Lovetao, and then we got brisket beans.
Speaker 1: Oh man, it was incredible, so so very good.
Speaker 2: So if you want to treat yourself to something special
Speaker 2: tonight for dinner, tomorrow for lunch, go check out her
Speaker 2: tittle Barbecue, some of the best on planet Earth, the
Speaker 2: best barbecue. Before we go to sports, KT sent a clip.
Speaker 2: KT is still getting over the butt flu. Yeah, he's
Speaker 2: not doing well. He said he's gone through like thirty
Speaker 2: seven of underwear and he likes those big white briefs,
Speaker 2: like to pull him up super high, real high.
Speaker 1: Oh Hi, that sound we got his underwear? Micd up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what it sounds like. So he's not
Speaker 2: back today and probably won't be back tomorrow. But he
Speaker 2: did send us a clip from the family Feud. Do
Speaker 2: we need to say anything to set this up, Christina?
Speaker 1: Uh no, because he'll ask the question. So I'll just
Speaker 1: I'll just like go here the name of the US
Speaker 1: state that is part of New England.
Speaker 2: Spain, state that is part of New England, Spain.
Speaker 1: But do you guys know the states in New England?
Speaker 1: I did they say how many there were? They didn't.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to look at that story because the answers
Speaker 2: were all answers I would have given besides Spain.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So to me, I think it's Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut,
Speaker 2: Rhode Island. That's all New England, I think. So I've
Speaker 2: always thought it was Boston. I thought it was just
Speaker 2: the Boston area. I don't even know what that means.
Speaker 2: So massachutt you know, Boston's in Massachue, so for sure
Speaker 2: that but I thought it included Vermont.
Speaker 1: Maybe not Vermont. I'm very confident includes Maine. Why are
Speaker 1: they the New England Patriots there? We represent this region? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so. God do you get that? Is that
Speaker 1: the only sports team claiming like six states?
Speaker 2: Well, you know the thing is that I would say,
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a fair point, but like you're never
Speaker 2: gonna get teams in Vermont and Connecticut. But like all
Speaker 2: those states combined don't even equal California. So like back
Speaker 2: when the Angels used to be the California Angels, for example,
Speaker 2: I guess it's just similar to that, because you're talking
Speaker 2: about a population there are separate states. Yeah, no, I agree.
Speaker 2: I just those states are so close together. Like when
Speaker 2: we used to go visit Tricia's dad up in Maine,
Speaker 2: we would suddenly we'd drive five feet and then we're
Speaker 2: in New Hampshire. You know, it's just like they're all
Speaker 2: just in Texas is like one side to the next,
Speaker 2: and you know, yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I got them. There's six of them. Okay,
Speaker 1: you got Maine, New Hampshire, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Massachusetts, yes, uh, Connecticut, yes, uh, Vermont, Rhode Island, see, okay,
Speaker 2: I got them all. Thank you everybody put me on
Speaker 2: the feud.
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly if that's what the survey said,
Speaker 1: but oh, good point. But it definitely didn't say Spain.
Speaker 1: So all right, uh, there you have it. There's a
Speaker 1: little family feud entertainment for you. But right now it's
Speaker 1: stip for this listeners. Here comes kt tweets. We're around.
Speaker 2: Now, let's go around the sports KTD tweets as all
Speaker 2: the sports. Yeah, oh man, I'm I'm keeping up. Have
Speaker 2: you been keeping up with old Mike Basseck He's oh no, yeah, dude,
Speaker 2: Mike has an amazing opportunity.
Speaker 1: He is going to be on the Rangers TV broadcast.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: He does a great job of that. But he's a
Speaker 1: hardcore sports fan and.
Speaker 2: He's one of the most emotional sports fans I've ever met. Yeah,
Speaker 2: which is always interesting because he played professional sports and
Speaker 2: so it's.
Speaker 1: Very rare that a guy that was a pro acts
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 2: He's quit the NBA, he's not gonna can't be a
Speaker 2: fan of it anymore. But I just saw his tweet
Speaker 2: below the one I'd pulled up. Now, this one is
Speaker 2: equally heartbreaking, which is a lot of this news. But
Speaker 2: so Ramona Shelburne, who has really done a good job
Speaker 2: with Tim McMahon of covering the Luca trade for ESPN. Right,
Speaker 2: if there's anything that's Laker related and then also Clipper,
Speaker 2: but specifically Laker, if it's coming from her, it's like
Speaker 2: when something comes from Mark Stein for the Mavericks.
Speaker 1: She knows she's plugged in.
Speaker 2: Well, she was talking about the Lakers trade last night
Speaker 2: for Mark Williams of the Hornets. That's a great trade
Speaker 2: for them because super long arms, he can catch oops
Speaker 2: from Luca. Yeah, he's Do you remember when we lost
Speaker 2: that terrible game to Charlotte. I think he had twelve
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter if I remember correctly. So she
Speaker 2: said the assets of the Lakers were able to use
Speaker 2: in this deal were the assets that did not go
Speaker 2: to Dallas and the Luca deal. Yep, hey, man, look,
Speaker 2: Nico's gotta wear that. Yeah, if you know, I get
Speaker 2: that he wants Anthony Davis.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 2: But when universally everyone who evaluates these things say how
Speaker 2: did you not get more assets? That's part where he
Speaker 2: when he does his own self evaluation, goes man. I
Speaker 2: guess if everyone feels this way, maybe I should have
Speaker 2: gotten more, but you know, it's the past is the past.
Speaker 2: I would have loved to have had both Lakers first
Speaker 2: round picks, and I bet if they did have both
Speaker 2: Lakers for I mean, hey, man, connect he's a good shooter.
Speaker 1: I would have loved to have him whatever, but we didn't.
Speaker 2: I'm not super concerned about that, but I will say,
Speaker 2: just trying to be fair, if the Mavericks did get
Speaker 2: both of those Lakers first round picks, I'm very confident
Speaker 2: there would have been another deal that was made to
Speaker 2: add another player to this roster because they would have
Speaker 2: been sitting on all four picks and trade. I guess,
Speaker 2: let's just say I don't have a good handle on this.
Speaker 2: One of the things that is hurting with the Metroplex,
Speaker 2: whether real or not. People in DFW are looking at
Speaker 2: this going, man, you just shortened the window, like now
Speaker 2: we're gonna win it with guns for hire, so to speak.
Speaker 2: You know, guys, we're not fully invested in in one guy,
Speaker 2: and you traded the guy we were most invested in. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and there's a six year age gap, so you just
Speaker 2: expedited all in to hear Nico talk about the window
Speaker 2: that's open.
Speaker 1: He's talking about a two to three year.
Speaker 2: Window where right or wrong, I think most of us
Speaker 2: in the Metrobucks will going We got about a twelve
Speaker 2: year window with Luca. That may be irrational, but that's
Speaker 2: the way we looked at it. So let's just say that.
Speaker 2: You know, they expedited it, they moved it forward. We
Speaker 2: got to go for it now before Oklahoma City matures
Speaker 2: and Wimby is going to be a monster. So we
Speaker 2: have we have a two We got to this year
Speaker 2: and next year. Are is our opportunity? Gotta go now
Speaker 2: it's this year and next year and maybe the next year.
Speaker 2: But guys will be getting pretty old by then, so
Speaker 2: they're good. So this year, next year, so a year
Speaker 2: and a half to two and a half years total
Speaker 2: if they trade all of their picks after that. So
Speaker 2: in the years where they're terrible, are they going to
Speaker 2: have their draft picks for those years? I mean I
Speaker 2: think they have a lot of them now they do. Yeah, okay, good,
Speaker 2: because that's what I I cause like to me. Let
Speaker 2: me look at if you're gonna hit rock bottom and
Speaker 2: then I don't want to be middle of the pack,
Speaker 2: you know me. I'm team Tank. I either want to
Speaker 2: contend or I want to tank. And if you are,
Speaker 2: once you're done trying to compete with a much older
Speaker 2: team and it's time to punt. I just want to
Speaker 2: load up on draft picks and I want to have
Speaker 2: the worst record in the NBA.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But the other thing I would say is, you know,
Speaker 2: you just don't know what is or isn't going to happen,
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, there's a lot of people that
Speaker 2: work in pro sports are like man, thinking beyond five
Speaker 2: years is insanity, and especially in the NBA, which the
Speaker 2: way that players just force movement all the time, Like, dude,
Speaker 2: go do just go track the Jimmy Butler career. And
Speaker 2: here's the other thing you brought up a I hadn't
Speaker 2: thought about it. You brought this up the other day,
Speaker 2: and I can't get past it. The second most tenured
Speaker 2: Maverick is Jaden Hardy, who's in his third year. I mean,
Speaker 2: and my point being, that's how quickly rosters turn over, right,
Speaker 2: So you know, look, this losing Luca sucks. I love Luca,
Speaker 2: but I also think this team is going to be great.
Speaker 2: I'm excited to watch them play when they're fully functional.
Speaker 2: I think they can compete for a championship. I'm very
Speaker 2: interested in that. But to your point, like getting all
Speaker 2: stressed out over what this thing's going to look like
Speaker 2: in five years, Jaden Hardy is the second most tenured Maverick, right,
Speaker 2: And so I'm gonna look this up right quick, because
Speaker 2: there's this website where you can look at future first
Speaker 2: round picks. And so here's the ones that the Mavericks
Speaker 2: have outgoing if you want to, like I do want
Speaker 2: to know, Okay, I'm getting there, I'm getting there. I'm
Speaker 2: doing it in real time. Ben, All right, here's the
Speaker 2: ones that are out going. They and I'm not going
Speaker 2: to read the second round pick.
Speaker 1: With it, you know, I don't need those.
Speaker 2: But so the first round pick in this next draft
Speaker 2: would be considered a twenty twenty five pick, right right,
Speaker 2: So the Mavericks here's outgoing first round picks outgoing.
Speaker 1: What does that mean?
Speaker 2: That means that they don't own it anymore. Okay, okay,
Speaker 2: they have their loose they don't have their twenty twenty
Speaker 2: seven pick. Okay, so they have their next two they
Speaker 2: don't have. Oh okay, then you start getting in all
Speaker 2: these weird protections. Oklahoma City has the right to swap
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight picks. Okay, so the Mavericks have the
Speaker 2: twentieth pick, Oklahoma City has a twenty eighth. Oklahoma City
Speaker 2: can swap that, and then the Mavericks have the twenty
Speaker 2: eighth or whatever it's going to be. That's going to
Speaker 2: be bad because Oklahoma City will be the best or
Speaker 2: second best team in the NBA in twenty twenty eight,
Speaker 2: presumably though, the Mavericks would be the twenty third pick.
Speaker 2: So like, it's marginally bad presumable, what do you mean,
Speaker 2: I mean in twenty twenty eight, I still expect the
Speaker 2: Mavericks to be really, really good, so their pick wouldn't
Speaker 2: be like unless there's a ton of injuries right well
Speaker 2: at that point, So you've got Kyrie is thirty three,
Speaker 2: So that's Kyrie's thirty four to thirty five h thirty
Speaker 2: six season durrants thirty six right now. Yeah, and he
Speaker 2: was one of the biggest most coveted guys in the NBA.
Speaker 1: Not true.
Speaker 2: So they don't have their twenty seven pick. They don't
Speaker 2: have their twenty nine pick, so they don't have that. Nope,
Speaker 2: that is going to Houston or Brooklyn, depending on how
Speaker 2: everything shakes out, oh dear, uh and they and that's it.
Speaker 2: Now there's a pick swap in twenty thirty, but they
Speaker 2: still have the pick. So basically there's two picks that
Speaker 2: are completely out the door, twenty seven and twenty nine.
Speaker 1: And it's not good. It's not great.
Speaker 2: Well, twenty seven you would hope is still in this window,
Speaker 2: like you should still be competing, and they're also I
Speaker 2: guess you could also look at it like this. If
Speaker 2: things start going south, you could also sell off to
Speaker 2: go get other picks, like presumably if you're or ad, Yeah,
Speaker 2: if you if things are going south and those guys
Speaker 2: still have gas in the tank, you could get a
Speaker 2: nice rebuild hole for those guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah at that point maybe absolutely yeah.
Speaker 2: So uh all right, and let me ask you this,
Speaker 2: and maybe Laker fans are different, but the whole mercenary thing, Yeah,
Speaker 2: who on the Lakers is like a Laker? Well, you
Speaker 2: mean if they went and won it this year, any year?
Speaker 2: Oh well, you know what I'm saying. Right, it's like
Speaker 2: Lebron James been there since he was what thirty six?
Speaker 2: But to me, like restarting with Luca is you have
Speaker 2: a baby goat. Yeah, still so it's almost like he
Speaker 2: is a teenage goat. Yeah, like he's he's been in
Speaker 2: the league for seven years now, six six seven years.
Speaker 1: I think this is his seventh season.
Speaker 2: You went out and acquired a global iconic superstar who's
Speaker 2: still just a baby, who's still just twenty five.
Speaker 1: So I think that's so.
Speaker 2: I still think that's that doesn't feel like a mercenary
Speaker 2: gun for hire. I always think of the gun for
Speaker 2: hire guys as being guys that are older at the
Speaker 2: end of their career going to get a ring, yeah right,
Speaker 2: right right, or guys that forced their way to a
Speaker 2: team and they won it as soon as they got there,
Speaker 2: and wait, I barely got to know him and they okay,
Speaker 2: we won. You know, it's different with Luca because we
Speaker 2: got him when he was a teenager.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, it's just it's just different.
Speaker 2: Right for the fans, you know, friend, you know, we're fans,
Speaker 2: We consider ourselves fans, So.
Speaker 1: It hits different. Man, it hurts.
Speaker 2: But they go win a championship the next two years,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be ecstatic because, yeah, I've only experienced one
Speaker 2: Dallas Mavericks championship and I've been with the team since.
Speaker 1: Really night.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say I was with him in nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2: I don't remember anything from that season. I remember nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty one. I remember telling you about the MAVs in
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty eight. We were like, I'm out, yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: not even interested in that. When did the Cowboys play?
Speaker 2: I was like, wait, Abdul Jilani's not on the team anymore.
Speaker 2: But I have all these same feelings that all these
Speaker 2: other people have about how hurt I am.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 2: And then I watched that seventy six Ers game and
Speaker 2: I was wanting to win the whole time.
Speaker 1: You know, so don't you want to pull for baby
Speaker 1: Max Christy?
Speaker 2: So tonight the MAVs play the Celtics right here in
Speaker 2: ninety seven zero point one the Eagle. You know where
Speaker 2: we're going to be if you want to watch it
Speaker 2: with us. We're going to have a group therapy session
Speaker 2: at Rollertown of Brewy. We're invested in You're welcome to
Speaker 2: come join us.
