Speaker 1: Benett's time for our Mavericks Minute, brought to you by
Speaker 1: the Sunset at McKinney Amphitheater, where you can own a
Speaker 1: piece of Dallas's most luxurious amphitheater by going to Sunset
Speaker 1: Texas dot com.
Speaker 2: But obviously there's.
Speaker 1: One story, and one story alone, and that is the
Speaker 1: torn acl of one Kyrie Irving. And it is hard
Speaker 1: to imagine what the next few weeks are gonna be
Speaker 1: like for a team that was already struggling and now
Speaker 1: they're far and away their best player is done until
Speaker 1: probably the middle of next year. Yeah, I was trying
Speaker 1: to think if it's the saddest I've ever been about
Speaker 1: the MAVs and the MAVs the nineties were rough, but.
Speaker 2: Hope was on the horizon. At least we had hoped
Speaker 2: at that point.
Speaker 1: And after a while you got used to them because
Speaker 1: they're bad for a decade. They weren't in the finals
Speaker 1: of the year before, and then all that happened.
Speaker 2: My thoughts have turned to, Okay, what is going to happen? Here?
Speaker 2: Are they going to rebuild?
Speaker 3: I don't know, you read all sorts of stuff out there,
Speaker 3: but these are tough times. But man, I love Kyrie.
Speaker 3: I love watching him play the game of basketball. Every
Speaker 3: time he plays, it's like a love letter to the game.
Speaker 3: And I've even enjoyed getting to know the type of
Speaker 3: person he is, which he's an exceptional human being. And
Speaker 3: what he did last night step it up to the
Speaker 3: free throw line very kobeesque, you know, couldn't put any
Speaker 3: weight on one leg and still drain those free throws.
Speaker 1: That was unbelievable. I probably should have done some research.
Speaker 1: Did you see on the internet this is the anniversary
Speaker 1: of Kobe Teraran his achilles?
Speaker 2: Is that right?
Speaker 1: Somebody said that on the internet and I just believed
Speaker 1: it because it's the internet.
Speaker 2: Look that up KT and see if you can get
Speaker 2: on it.
Speaker 1: Anyways, that is your Dallas Maverick's Minute, brought to you
Speaker 1: by the Sunset at McKinny. What was the day, April twelfth,
Speaker 1: twenty thirty. Well, screw me, let's still consider it though. Okay, Brodie,
Speaker 1: you buy the Sunset of McKenny Amphitheater, secure your suitet
Speaker 1: now go to Sunset Texas dot com.
Speaker 2: But right now it's time for this. The thing's big.
Speaker 4: You know, I think we have live in a world
Speaker 4: where we have twenty four hours. You try to get
Speaker 4: your eight hours of sleep, but most people don't get that.
Speaker 2: No, you know, there's no way.
Speaker 4: You have obligations, you have things you have to do,
Speaker 4: you have your job, maybe you have kids, I don't know.
Speaker 4: So if you're choosing to watch some TV or some entertainment,
Speaker 4: with all this content that's out there, you don't want
Speaker 4: to have your time wasted?
Speaker 2: Am I right? Right? Agreed?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: And in this day and age, I'm always looking for
Speaker 3: something special to watch and so many times you don't
Speaker 3: find that, and when you do find it, unfortunately, my
Speaker 3: viewing habits now where I binge watch it like crazy,
Speaker 3: and I'm watching a lot of it when I'm super sleepy,
Speaker 3: and then I can't retain it. It's just it's a
Speaker 3: weird it's a weird viewership these days. The style of
Speaker 3: watching has changed drastically.
Speaker 1: And then you've also then created the problem where earlier
Speaker 1: KT was trying to get you better sleep, and you
Speaker 1: binge watch and you don't get your sleep. So now
Speaker 1: you're screwed in two ways. Man, you need to do better.
Speaker 1: It's a bit of a quagmire. We're coming out of
Speaker 1: the golden age of TV into the mid.
Speaker 2: Age of television. Now we're in the mid age of streaming.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, okay, that's fine. I'm mid like the young
Speaker 2: people use it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, mid like. There's a lot of average stuff out there.
Speaker 4: There's some there's a few really good things, but you
Speaker 4: gotta work hard to find it.
Speaker 2: And do we all agree with what the best things
Speaker 2: out are right now? Probably watching MAVs. I mean, what
Speaker 2: are people watching? Community?
Speaker 4: The only thing that I know that people are watching
Speaker 4: like as a community are is Severance.
Speaker 2: Okay, I think Severance is the best thing on right now.
Speaker 2: I would agree.
Speaker 1: I saw Ben Stiller on Kimmel last night, and did
Speaker 1: you guys know that him and Derek from Step Brothers.
Speaker 1: Forgot that Adam Scott. Yeah, they do a Severance podcast. Yes,
Speaker 1: I was sent to me yesterday. Okay, have you checked
Speaker 1: it out yet? I have not checked it out yet.
Speaker 2: It's I think that for a show like that, that's
Speaker 2: a good companion there. That show.
Speaker 3: The vibe reminds me of Lost in a way that
Speaker 3: I'm not comparing it to Lost. But Lost was such
Speaker 3: a big mystery, and I you know, whenever I watch
Speaker 3: an episode of Severance, I go out and search for
Speaker 3: things on the internet to explain it, and then I
Speaker 3: find out about all these other Easter eggs. It's like
Speaker 3: super super deep. I think White Lotus is really good too.
Speaker 3: I think it's on on the elite level.
Speaker 4: I'm not caught up yet. Episode three was the one
Speaker 4: that aired Sunday night.
Speaker 1: I will catch up soon, but I we know, like
Speaker 1: that's got a two season track record of being good.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna jump into episode two of season one here
Speaker 1: in the next few weeks.
Speaker 4: And the key is those are both shows though, that
Speaker 4: are jumping dropping episodes Sunday nights or on the Apple.
Speaker 4: For Severance, it's on Friday, you know, So there there
Speaker 4: it's the weekly thing.
Speaker 1: Where you can't binge it unless you're are y'all cut
Speaker 1: up on Severance?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am so y'all know that. It's Canu Reeves. Yes, Okay,
Speaker 2: the Building, Yeah, Boiler, No, I mean it's you've already
Speaker 2: seen the show.
Speaker 5: No, I haven't watched. I'm gonna start episode one, actually
Speaker 5: episode two, season one tonight.
Speaker 2: Oh really, let's watch it together. I got to get
Speaker 2: caught up.
Speaker 3: Okay, what else? What else is on that level with
Speaker 3: Severance and the White Lotus right now?
Speaker 1: Right now?
Speaker 2: That's going? Yeah, I like The Floor with Rob Low.
Speaker 5: Now, dude, watched The Floor last night.
Speaker 2: We kind of quit.
Speaker 5: I like shows like that. Like I joke about trash
Speaker 5: TV because it's, like you mentioned, I have so much
Speaker 5: crap doing going on during the week that I can't
Speaker 5: have something where I can just sit and actually watch.
Speaker 5: I need something i'm just in the background where I
Speaker 5: can kind of watch it while I'm doing all the
Speaker 5: other billion things I need to do.
Speaker 1: The thing I'm most excited about is whenever the Bear
Speaker 1: comes back, which isn't a couple of months, right, that's elite? Yeah, maybe, Junior, maybe,
Speaker 1: I mean, we've got righteous Jimstones coming back on March ninth.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty pumped about that. You guys, how caught up?
Speaker 2: Are you? Like you completely up?
Speaker 1: Do you think it's like fine to just jump back
Speaker 1: in where it is or is it kind of thing
Speaker 1: I need? You need to watch season two and three
Speaker 1: because season two and three are much better than season one.
Speaker 3: I've bounced around on that one a little bit. Anything
Speaker 3: that has Baby Billy in it, the factors, what's his names?
Speaker 2: I mean, we're in the gagaissance right now.
Speaker 3: I think maybe the third best thing on TV right
Speaker 3: now is Luke and the Lakers.
Speaker 4: See now, that is where we're going to have a
Speaker 4: difference of opinion, Not me, dude, you get Austin Reeves too.
Speaker 1: It's incredible views. It has become painful. So I found
Speaker 1: this article today as I want to do. It's an
Speaker 1: odd thing that people like it, and it is titled
Speaker 1: how many episodes should you watch before quitting a TV show?
Speaker 1: A statistical analysis? And you guys know I love stats
Speaker 1: and analysis.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna read you this one quick paragraph because
Speaker 4: I thought this was really good. Some series, I'm sorry
Speaker 4: I lost my spot. That's that's a problem. Some TV
Speaker 4: shows take a while to get good. Modern classics like
Speaker 4: Breaking Bad, The Wire, Community, and BoJack Horsemen are notorious
Speaker 4: for starting slow and are often recommended with a disclaimer
Speaker 4: like give it a few episodes, I promise it gets good,
Speaker 4: which people did to me with The Wire, people did
Speaker 4: to me with the Sopranos.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no one ever did that to me. With Breaking Bad.
Speaker 2: I had to have that.
Speaker 1: I mean, I knew the whole world was watching Breaking Bad,
Speaker 1: but I wasn't you jump in like season three? Well,
Speaker 1: season four was going on, and so I just went
Speaker 1: back and because he had DVDs back then, I gave.
Speaker 2: You a DVD of season three and never it was
Speaker 2: never returned. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 1: So I went back to the beginning and I watched
Speaker 1: it from the beginning, and me and my wife were
Speaker 1: watching like two and three episodes a night, and then
Speaker 1: we got caught up with everybody in season four.
Speaker 2: So that was really fun.
Speaker 3: But that show, once you've seen the pilot episode, you're
Speaker 3: in it does that dude he's in his underwear making
Speaker 3: a video saying he's turning himself in, apologizing to his family.
Speaker 2: Wonderful.
Speaker 3: That show started off guns of blazing, like a lot
Speaker 3: of shows they ease into it, So I don't.
Speaker 2: Even think that fits the description you're talking about.
Speaker 4: Well this is where well, i'll tell you what I
Speaker 4: does get a little slower, like episode two and three
Speaker 4: of season one of Bringing Better Slow.
Speaker 2: My wife's sister saw it. She's like, I watched the
Speaker 2: first episode. I didn't like it.
Speaker 4: It's like, well, you saw a white guy in his
Speaker 4: underwear in the Grand Canyon or whatever.
Speaker 2: So they've got a little.
Speaker 4: List of episode of shows and it's based on like
Speaker 4: their episode of rating on like IMDb or something, uh
Speaker 4: huh of like when the show actually took off. Now
Speaker 4: one that they don't mention it as one is always
Speaker 4: stuck with me. Parks and Rec's first season was six episodes, okay,
Speaker 4: and they had a writer strike, but they came back,
Speaker 4: and I remember was the first season Parks Rec sucks.
Speaker 2: No, that's not true. The fifth and sixth episode start
Speaker 2: to get better.
Speaker 1: Parks and Rec had the benefit too of everyone thought
Speaker 1: it was an extension of the Office because of the format.
Speaker 2: Yeah people, yeah, there's no one was doing that or whatever.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but then you see season two it does take
Speaker 4: off into something else.
Speaker 1: Man, the number one show that takes the longest to
Speaker 1: get going, but it is the most rewarding of all time,
Speaker 1: is clearly the Wire. Like it took a while, in fact,
Speaker 1: they in fact season two, they drug you through this
Speaker 1: thing to where you don't realize Season two is good
Speaker 1: until you finish the series like that was a very methodical,
Speaker 1: deliberate show that pays off way at the end.
Speaker 4: And now a lot of people won't go give it
Speaker 4: a shot because it probably looks really old.
Speaker 2: I mean, and I'm like, I get it.
Speaker 4: So on this list they have Breaking Bad on there
Speaker 4: and it says episode six is when.
Speaker 2: It really took off. Okay, I couldn't tell you.
Speaker 4: I would disagree, because I would say in the beginning,
Speaker 4: here's a famous one though, Seinfeld episode sixteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Seinfeld took a long time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, those are all on Netflix now and
Speaker 3: I've gone back and watched some of the early ones.
Speaker 2: They're not good.
Speaker 1: It's rough, Yeah, it's very rough, but once you get
Speaker 1: to like season two and three, very good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, always sunny in Philadelphia episode eight.
Speaker 2: Really thought I had a mackin right off the rip.
Speaker 5: I too.
Speaker 1: Now it's it looks old and cheap because it is
Speaker 1: is I mean it's five people that handheld.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's very strange. They Oh, of course I'm
Speaker 4: gonna mention BoJack, Horseman Friends seven episodes before it got
Speaker 4: to its like highest episode rating. Uh south Park eight episodes,
Speaker 4: y'all remember south Park? Was that an immediate hit?
Speaker 2: South Park?
Speaker 1: I thought was an immediate hit if I remember correctly,
Speaker 1: like and but also you know, different era, cable era
Speaker 1: Comedy Central. But I remember there was so much buzz
Speaker 1: around south Park, and part of it had to do
Speaker 1: with George Clooney being a gay dog.
Speaker 2: Do you guys really yeah?
Speaker 5: You realize it was yeah early on like that.
Speaker 2: South Park five?
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, yeah, yeah, ninety seven ninety seven.
Speaker 5: The movie was about five though.
Speaker 2: One of its original writers, writers Bill Hayter, was that right.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that. They also said, like how long
Speaker 2: should you stick with the show? And they got a
Speaker 2: little chart here.
Speaker 4: It's obviously season the quality of a TV show if
Speaker 4: you have ten seasons. This graft's amazing because once you
Speaker 4: get past season five, these shows aren't getting that they've
Speaker 4: peaked at five and that is the end, like it
Speaker 4: should end it there breaking bad? Maybe our loan example, Now,
Speaker 4: how many seasons was The Sopranos, though I thought it
Speaker 4: was five five The Wire was five bringing bad ended
Speaker 4: up having like that weird sixth season that was like
Speaker 4: a two season thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but once you start with at season two, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's amazing how it goes on.
Speaker 2: Two and three.
Speaker 4: Those are the meeting and then after that it's gonna get worse,
Speaker 4: way worse.
Speaker 2: The show's that had the most the biggest falls.
Speaker 1: Though House of Cards I loved it, and then probably
Speaker 1: around the end of season two, I was like, I'm good.
Speaker 1: It was even before Kevin Spacey became unbearable in Last Card,
Speaker 1: Never saw was worth watching. First couple of seasons are
Speaker 1: good if you can separate the Spacey from the.
Speaker 2: Yeah everything I see him in now.
Speaker 3: I even had a hard time watching uh, The Usual
Speaker 3: Suspects the other day, so I'm.
Speaker 1: Like, well, you know in this he's a disgusting, scumback senator.
Speaker 5: So they killed a dog and like, was that the
Speaker 5: first episode?
Speaker 2: It was early and I was.
Speaker 4: Out, Yeah, when he pushes the girl and when the
Speaker 4: train's coming and he pushes the daughter of the owner
Speaker 4: of the Steelers and the Giants. It's her name something Mara.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, pushes her in front of the train. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's like, whoa, this guy means business. And then he
Speaker 4: was off the show in a few years because if
Speaker 4: because he did in real life did some bad things allegedly.
Speaker 2: Yep, all right, that's good Kevin and Wendy out there, man,
Speaker 2: I don't know that that helps.
Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna do it for us today. Thank
Speaker 1: you for listening. We'll never forget the time KT saw
Speaker 1: Kevin Spacey. He looked him dead in the eye, and
Speaker 1: he said, did you know.
Speaker 4: That butterflies they study them across the Atlantic Ocean only
Speaker 4: took eight days.
Speaker 2: That is the worst fun fact ever.
Speaker 1: Stick around, Christina is gonna play some music next right
Speaker 1: around ninety one point won the Eagle.
Speaker 2: There're you going, well, I'm gonna get my sack backed dude, Alright,
