WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.359
<v Speaker 1>We got the Bending skin Wayback Machine coming up, and

2
00:00:02.600 --> 00:00:05.799
<v Speaker 1>a review of the new Mission Impossible movie by yours

3
00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:07.639
<v Speaker 1>truly who got to see a sneak preview of it.

4
00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:09.720
<v Speaker 1>That's all coming up, But before we move to anything else,

5
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:12.919
<v Speaker 1>I just want to say, I'm so increppy. I feel

6
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>like a weight has been lifted on the entire Metroplex,

7
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:18.440
<v Speaker 1>especially when it comes to sports, especially when it comes

8
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:22.480
<v Speaker 1>to the Dallas Mavericks. Just the full three, the full

9
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:27.079
<v Speaker 1>one to eighty of having your franchise player, your twenty

10
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>five year old global icon, your five time All NBA

11
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:33.359
<v Speaker 1>player traded and never really given a good reason as

12
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:36.600
<v Speaker 1>to why, and traded for not a fair return is

13
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:40.600
<v Speaker 1>judged by most of humanity. I feel like the whole

14
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:46.399
<v Speaker 1>Metroplex was gutted and to defy the odds and come

15
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>back and get the number one pick. MAV's had a

16
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:51.119
<v Speaker 1>one point eight chance of getting the number one pick

17
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:53.640
<v Speaker 1>in the lottery and they got it. And it's just

18
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:58.799
<v Speaker 1>truly remarkable, and I've found myself just feeling so happy.

19
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Like for a while there, for about a half a day,

20
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:03.679
<v Speaker 1>I was filled with dread thinking that Nico was going

21
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:08.239
<v Speaker 1>to trade him. Then news comes out that Patrick Dumont

22
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:10.079
<v Speaker 1>is shutting that down, saying no, no, no, he will

23
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 1>not be traded. Tim McMahon has that, Mark Stein had that.

24
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:16.040
<v Speaker 1>That's that's great. I'm those were Patrick Dumont quotes, right,

25
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:16.480
<v Speaker 1>that was him.

26
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, they weren't exact quotes. But but also let me say,

27
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.480
<v Speaker 2>matt Riccardi was walking around the room saying, we're drafting

28
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:28.200
<v Speaker 2>Cooper Flag like there was I mean, I think there

29
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:31.439
<v Speaker 2>are checks and balances like you're talking about, but that

30
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:34.079
<v Speaker 2>that front office was going to draft the generational player.

31
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:36.959
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't. Patrick Dumont's got to stop anybody from doing it.

32
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.079
<v Speaker 2>They were in the room, but we just got Cooper Flag.

33
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:41.319
<v Speaker 1>You can understand why people would wonder, of course, I mean,

34
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:45.359
<v Speaker 1>it's fair to wonder about those things. The damn near

35
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:50.560
<v Speaker 1>most unlikely thing is always likely these days. But uh, yeah,

36
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Speaker 1>that was That was so regardless, Like you went from

37
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:58.879
<v Speaker 1>being in the NBA Finals losing and then being in

38
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:02.560
<v Speaker 1>the lottery and and trading this global icon and it's

39
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>just like such a high to being the finals and

40
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:07.040
<v Speaker 1>make it there and then the extreme low of having

41
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.199
<v Speaker 1>it all fall apart and just get the rug ripped

42
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:13.159
<v Speaker 1>out from under you. But then suddenly to be given

43
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:18.280
<v Speaker 1>this incredible gift of this generational talent that is like

44
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:20.360
<v Speaker 1>you're now set for even longer than you were with

45
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Luca Dude. The number one pick went to the Atlanta Hawks.

46
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:23.879
<v Speaker 1>Last year.

47
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:26.680
<v Speaker 2>The Hawks were about in the same position the Mavericks were,

48
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:28.960
<v Speaker 2>but it wasn't a year where a player like this

49
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.639
<v Speaker 2>comes out. It's not only the first time they've ever

50
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.680
<v Speaker 2>moved up. It's not only the second time in is

51
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 2>that fifty years that they've had the number one pick. Yeah,

52
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:41.039
<v Speaker 2>they last had the number of pick in nineteen eighty one,

53
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.199
<v Speaker 2>right or forty five years or whatever. It's not even

54
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.439
<v Speaker 2>just that it's getting it the year that this player

55
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.360
<v Speaker 2>is available. And to Ben's point, like I don't know

56
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.319
<v Speaker 2>if people think I'm joking or not. I cried and

57
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:57.400
<v Speaker 2>it was not like it just it was such I

58
00:02:57.439 --> 00:02:59.400
<v Speaker 2>guess the thing I would equate it to I've never

59
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.960
<v Speaker 2>done this. I have gone to the top of a

60
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:04.840
<v Speaker 2>mountain in Switzerland, but it wasn't like it was Everest,

61
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.319
<v Speaker 2>but like when there is something that seemed so daunting

62
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:12.680
<v Speaker 2>and so impossible and then you break through, that is

63
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:19.280
<v Speaker 2>an emotional release. And they got gifted the most incredible

64
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.639
<v Speaker 2>thing ever, and you know, we were talking about this

65
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:24.479
<v Speaker 2>last night on our little pop up YouTube thing that

66
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.400
<v Speaker 2>me and Ben did with Jake, our buddy from the

67
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:31.879
<v Speaker 2>Dumb Zone, is that you can feel however you want

68
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.599
<v Speaker 2>to feel about Nico and do that and hate him

69
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:39.719
<v Speaker 2>and do whatever you want. But and don't give him credit,

70
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:42.120
<v Speaker 2>don't whatever, tell him you hate him, you know whatever.

71
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.000
<v Speaker 2>By the way, I watched during at the end of

72
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.439
<v Speaker 2>the year, I watched Nico stand there in the hallway

73
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:49.840
<v Speaker 2>talk to fans. Fans wanted to talk to him.

74
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:50.759
<v Speaker 1>He said, there and talk to him.

75
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:53.719
<v Speaker 2>So feel however you want to feel about that person.

76
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.400
<v Speaker 2>But I think if you just took everything away and

77
00:03:57.439 --> 00:03:59.599
<v Speaker 2>you sat there and go, hey, man, I'll give you

78
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Cooper Flag, Anthony Davis, Max Christie and an unprotected twenty

79
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:07.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty nine first round pick for Luca Man. If you weren't,

80
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:09.400
<v Speaker 2>if you took your emotion out of it, you would

81
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 2>do that deal all.

82
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Day after day. You would take it. I'm not giving

83
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:13.919
<v Speaker 1>Nico credit for it the number one pick at all, don't.

84
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.600
<v Speaker 1>I Mean, it's like, That's what I'm saying. Feel it's

85
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.639
<v Speaker 1>very lucky, falling down, throwing up the basketball behind his

86
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:21.439
<v Speaker 1>back and hitting a hundred foot shot.

87
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:23.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he doesn't get credit for it. I'm just saying, like,

88
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:25.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, if you just took those two things and

89
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:28.079
<v Speaker 2>compared them and you're just being a basketball person, go,

90
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:29.480
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, you I'd rather have that.

91
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.000
<v Speaker 1>And and to your point, if you were to just

92
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.399
<v Speaker 1>take stock of where you are in your basketball life

93
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:37.639
<v Speaker 1>as a fan, this is a better situation than that was.

94
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.279
<v Speaker 2>It's not I'll tell you what, that's not fair. It

95
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.800
<v Speaker 2>is close, but take again, take emotion out of it.

96
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.079
<v Speaker 2>You are taking the current option over what you had

97
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:46.920
<v Speaker 2>all day after action.

98
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.680
<v Speaker 3>My problem is like that right now, if you just

99
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:56.680
<v Speaker 3>do nothing that right now, you're probably on a title run. Yes,

100
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.879
<v Speaker 3>And there's just no way of knowing. Like I think

101
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.600
<v Speaker 3>that's why some people are gonna it's gonna take them

102
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:03.319
<v Speaker 3>a little bit longer to come to grips with all

103
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:05.759
<v Speaker 3>this is because they can't let go of the fact

104
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:09.360
<v Speaker 3>that this shouldn't have happened. Not the trade with Luca right,

105
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.160
<v Speaker 3>getting Cooper flag also should not have happened.

106
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:13.319
<v Speaker 2>No, right, but I don't even know.

107
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.800
<v Speaker 3>It's more shocking. I would both two things that you

108
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:17.560
<v Speaker 3>would never imagine what happened.

109
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:19.639
<v Speaker 1>Right, and I wouldn't presume to tell anyone how to feel,

110
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:21.600
<v Speaker 1>but I just know for me personally, I'm hitting the

111
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:23.639
<v Speaker 1>reset button. Yeah, as long as I know they're not

112
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:25.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna trade him and there's somebody that could stop that

113
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:28.839
<v Speaker 1>trade from happening, Uh, then I feel pretty good. I

114
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.079
<v Speaker 1>feel like it's safe footing, like they're not gonna trade

115
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.959
<v Speaker 1>this guy. And so he's eighteen, he's seven years six,

116
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:36.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, eight years younger than Luca.

117
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:39.000
<v Speaker 2>If you, as a boy, I'll put it to you

118
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:43.399
<v Speaker 2>like this, if you really love watching basketball, which is

119
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:47.240
<v Speaker 2>probably why you liked Luca, you're gonna really love watching

120
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:48.759
<v Speaker 2>the Mavericks with Cooper Flag.

121
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:49.439
<v Speaker 3>Now.

122
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:53.680
<v Speaker 2>If you are dead set on not experiencing that joy,

123
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.120
<v Speaker 2>that is absolutely your choice. And I know people that

124
00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.639
<v Speaker 2>at least tell me that they don't watch the Cowboys

125
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:02.000
<v Speaker 2>anymore because of the way the Jones family runs it,

126
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:03.519
<v Speaker 2>And that's their prerogative.

127
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:05.399
<v Speaker 1>And I've seen that. I've seen that happen. I saw

128
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:07.160
<v Speaker 1>it with my dad. My dad quit on all the

129
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:09.800
<v Speaker 1>local teams, especially he put his money or his mouth was.

130
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:10.519
<v Speaker 1>He quit watching.

131
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.160
<v Speaker 2>And that's a choice that you, as a person that

132
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.959
<v Speaker 2>has time to spend in this world, can make. I

133
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:19.480
<v Speaker 2>will watch a Cowboy game, and during a Cowboy game,

134
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:21.959
<v Speaker 2>if things are going well, I rarely sit there and

135
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:25.120
<v Speaker 2>think about what Jerry Jones is or isn't doing. Last night,

136
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.879
<v Speaker 2>I made the comparison. So I want to get this right.

137
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.639
<v Speaker 2>All these people that are watching Jalen Bruntson be the

138
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:33.040
<v Speaker 2>MVP of the league right now, are their knicks fans

139
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:34.959
<v Speaker 2>that can enjoy it because of how they feel about

140
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:39.000
<v Speaker 2>James Dolan. I mean like, ultimately, when the game happens,

141
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.240
<v Speaker 2>whatever the sport is, you're caught up in the game

142
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:44.639
<v Speaker 2>and the guys that are out there doing it and

143
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:48.360
<v Speaker 2>laying it all out. And the reason you love sports

144
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:51.040
<v Speaker 2>in the first place is that experience. And so you

145
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.160
<v Speaker 2>can make the conscious choice I refuse to experience this

146
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:57.360
<v Speaker 2>particular set of joy. But if you loved basketball in

147
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.199
<v Speaker 2>the first place, I'm here to personally guarantee you you're

148
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.360
<v Speaker 2>gonna love watching Cooper Flag play with maps written across

149
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:03.720
<v Speaker 2>his chest.

150
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:04.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

151
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:07.040
