We're going to review the Ronnie Coleman, the King documentary, which I didn't love, but we'll still talk about it because he's still a legend. It's your documentary.
I know. I thought it was going to be better.
You just knew that he was an interesting guy. Right.
You hadn't seen the movie yet. They just didn't.
It was frustrating, to say the least. Yes.
He's a very interesting guy, and it just felt like there needed to be more. Open invite to to come on the show though absolutely absolutely and then we have uh oh yeah that's it that's it alright let's have a good show I was just trying to think about what else we have but I think I named it all Mount Flushmore, Ronnie Coleman Mark Cuban, Firefest yes ever had one of those days when it's just too cold to keep working nah neither has neither has Ariat.

It's Part of My Take presented by Boston School Sports Sports Welcome to Part of My Take presented by the Cash App Go download it right now, use code BARSTOOL You get $10 for free, $10 for the ASPCA Today is Fri-Yay, May 15th And PFT is topless because Hank swept him in ping pong Well, we went one and one today I beat Hank, I swept Hank in soup pong And then he beat me in ping pong. Well, we went one and one today.
I beat Hank. I swept Hank in soup pong.
And then he beat me in ping pong. So I guess we're 500 today.
I am shirtless. You just swept.
That's the truth. It's a little cold in the studio today, in the Cash App studio.
Pete turned down the lights a little bit, so I could cut some diamonds with these titties. Is the rivalry dead? I think the rivalry's dead.
I think any time that there's a sweep that happens, it's bad. There's no sugarcoating it whatsoever.
I retired from ping pong on stool streams tonight because, let's face it, if you tune in to watch, if you're giving us your hard-earned time and expecting to see an athletic competition between myself and Hank and you end up watching a sweep, that's disappointing for me to be giving that to you. Hank, do you feel a little bad? Do you feel a little bad that you've beaten PFT down to this? No, not at all.
That he's just a pulp? It's like MJ versus the Pistons, except in this situation, no one got to saw the Pistons beat the Bulls. No one got to saw.
All right, so we have mouth flush more of life's little embarrassing moments coming up. That makes it a little bit better right now.
I feel better now. You did give one back there.
Thanks. Appreciate that, Hank.
Hank beat you 4-1 today. You said that earlier, but that's the thing where it's like, maybe that's just me.
I'm not even embarrassed about that. Okay.
So we are at the point of the quarantine and shelter in place where the news stories every day, there are none. It's basically manufactured latching on to news stories.
So much so, we are now, we've arrived at the meme that everyone is sharing that is so fucking annoying. On Inception, the what do you think of when you see this picture or logo meme that's going around.
i gotta say the worst part about this is the trending bar is going to be i've already seen jeff conine trending thought he was dead oh my god eric snow trending thought he was dead this is we're at hellscape we we can't get worse than this jeff conine was trending that's probably the first time that he's ever trended on any social media platform it makes makes sense when you see the old Marlins logo. You're like, yeah, Jeff Conine.
It does, yeah. Him, Dontrell Willis.
That's really all I think of. When you see all these accounts that are all basically the exact same, sharing the same thing to try to get off that.
They're trying to suck on that viral teat. I just want to fucking end it.
Well, all sports teams. All sports.
Yeah. Suicidal Big Cat usually doesn't come out until like November.
I didn't know where that sentence was going. And I was like, yeah, just end it.
But all sports teams are even they're scraping the bottom of the barrel, too, because they're just saying like your third at is your quarantine buddy. And just trying to get as many replies as possible.
It's also with old highlights like i love larry bird watching larry bird highlights where it's at this stage of like the office level of saturation where they're just posting the same like throwback larry bird was ice in his veins and it's like i see that every single day it's like the office you love the office but when everyone posts office clips all day long you get like fatigue from it so it's not even like it's just you're getting fatigued because they have no nothing else to post it's posting the same throwbacks over and over and over and over and over again the entire internet has just become rex chapman's twitter feed yes end it there should just be dog day on the internet where you're not allowed to post on social media unless it's a picture or a gif of a cute woofer yeah i just i uh i mean the big news of the day was joe buck
saying that they might do fake crowd noise and virtual fans and then everyone getting upset
about that why are people upset about this no one's really upset about it everyone's just upset
that they're not the first person to make the joke about the atlanta falcons already doing right
four years right but it's just it's just frustration growing from that i don't think that joe buck
actually said that no i think this is like a hair plug i almost died thing where he says something and it gets taken and the ball kind of rolls on a little bit but he said that he it wouldn't shock him if they use virtual fans in the stands i'm okay with and they pipe in the crowd noise i'm okay with that only if they change the level of the noise depending on the situation of course i want i want the person who's in charge that to have a little feel for the moment if it's a big fourth down what are they just going to pipe it in on the broadcast or you're going to pipe it into the stadium itself i want trent reznor sitting in in new york city doing the fucking masterpiece audio levels for every single game give me that yes yeah make, yeah, make it a super producer. Him, RZA.
The guy who did the Batman soundtrack. Brian Wilson.
Like, break out the big guns here. I'm interested to see what that effect is going to have on the game if a quarterback...
Well, first of all, the quarterback audibles, if they don't use any fake crowd noise, are going to sound awesome coming through the TV. You're going to hear everything that they say.
Right. Well, see, I feel like the NFL wouldn't let there be super loud mics.
Do you know what I mean? So that's where I always came from the perspective of people saying, well, we want to hear the players talk. We want to hear that.
Do you think the NFL is going to let that happen? Do you think the NFL is going to let players have a hot mic? It's not the XFL. Do you think Bill Belichick is going to let his team have a hot mic? Do you think any like coach is the NFL is full of coaches that are the most paranoid people in the world? Do you think they're going to be willingly allowing like all of their schemes and everything to be just said out loud? No way.
Probably not. Right.
I am interested to hear like Vontaze Perfect just unfiltered. And then get suspended.
Yeah, this is just a big ruse to find different ways to suspend players. I just – there's no news.
We got great – Cuban is awesome. We have Cuban coming up.
There's just – I'm at the point where I'm done faking that there's news. Like this Blake Snell thing, I don't even care about that.
He's right. Move on.
he's right he's he's saying and i did more reading on this he's saying and it makes sense what about the teachers and the first responders big cat though that's a good point did they renegotiate their rates blake snell is right if you if he had not if the players had not already negotiated to take into account what's happening with the covid virus then i would be like okay yeah maybe you should make some concessions but the fact is the players already agreed to give up a bunch of their money why are they going back again right and we're at the you can't just keep saying okay we're going to go back and ask for more of our money it's it's actually kind of like saying coronavirus is bad we all agree yeah we all agree on all these anti-coronavirus big time anti-coronavirus fuck that shit what about what about like mannequins in the stands i'd like to see real dolls in the stands just a bunch of sex dolls everywhere uh i would be cool with figuring out a way to have you know in like japan they have those robots that they can put your face on the robot have that and all the diehard fans get to get their faces on the robots. Have the Seahawks fans with the gloves.
I absolutely need Real Doll to make a Seattle Seahawk to sit in every front row seat should be that Hulk. Yes.
That's what I want. I just, I don't see any downside.
I think people are bargaining with like, I hope there's still real fans, but if there's not real fans, just put the fucking virtual fans. Give us something to look at.
What about this? In order to actually have it be interactive with the fans, what if, like, the team Twitter accounts say, okay, if you retweet this, it increases the crowd noise. And then fans that are online can, like, smash that RT button.
It increases the value of the NFL's social media accounts. And it provide a dynamic that's not bad I mean there's some franchise I mean would the Chargers ever I guess that would be exactly what it would be like exactly what it would be like the Chargers would just have nothing it would be one guy yes yelling and for maybe if it's if it gets more faves than retweets, then it lowers it.
So Redskins games would be all opposing fans at the games.
Right.
Okay.
I'm down with that.
There we go.
Or if you're a season ticket holder, don't they – you know when you try to buy a ticket online and they have the picture from your seat of what the field looks like?
Or if you just set up like 67,000 little webcams so that people could just like virtually be sitting in their seat? Yeah. Virtual reality is going to get here eventually.
We will be watching games like that while we get blowjobs. Oh, yeah.
Finally. Okay.
You can't make that type of noise with your shirt off. We'll be thinking about getting blown.
Yeah. That was way too much of a sigh with your shirt off because from my perspective, you're naked.
Yeah, I might be. You can't see anything underneath that sigh.
I might be. I'm also keeping my eye on the Todd Gurley situation.
Have you been staying abreast of the Todd Gurley situation? He has arthritis as like a 28-year-old? No, I'm talking about the money that he's owed from the Rams. So the Rams still haven't paid Todd Gurley his last paycheck yet, and so he's mad about that.
He says that he won't talk to anybody, any of his teammates on the Rams, until he gets paid. I don't know if that's going to accomplish anything, but I'd like to say to Todd Gurley, I'll take on that debt.
I'll become your collection agency. Send me over to that stadium.
I'll strip that shit of copper wire. I'll make some money.
So you're going to pay him? I'll get a line of credit. I'll get a line of credit, pay Todd Gurley, and then I'll go collect from the Rams, and whatever I collect from them, I get to keep.
We'll take a bat to Sean McVay's kneecaps. Let's sneeze.
We're coming for you, bro. Listen, Todd, they spent a fortune redesigning their jerseys to look like Ikea billboards.
Yes. So you need to just, they're going through some cash flow issues right now.
I can't believe how bad some of these jerseys are. All right, let's do FireFest and we'll get to Cuban.

I think Fuddleberg pointed this out for the first time. But they're getting really into this day in history, in sports history, like one year ago.
And it's the most mundane shit. Yeah, Kawhi.
Hit the shot. Tomorrow, that's a pretty big one, actually.
I mean, it is, but it's also a second-round series. And it's also one year old.
it's got to be like five years plus to be history i i'm trying to figure out what they're going to tweet out tomorrow what happened may 15th 2019 i just googled in sports graham mcdowell played a practice round at the pga championship that's the first thing that who could jake marsh we need you to be doing this find the most boring uh this day in history and tweet it from Pardon My Take every single day. The most boring.
The most boring. It's going to be a challenge.
You know what? We want to find out which— Like baseball players going one for four with a single. Yeah.
I want it to be a competition where we see which one of our tweets has the least amount of engagement on it. Yes.
That's how we will measure how big of a success it is. This day in sports history and just have it be awful, awful, awful.
Olympic qualifiers. Like, this person qualified for the shot put in 1997.
I like that. Should it just be limited to one year ago? No, I think it should be.
The history. The history.
Past five years. Past five years.
So that it's at least, like, we shouldn't do some random game from 100 years ago. Because then it might.
Yeah. past five years so that it's at least, like we shouldn't do some random game from 100 years ago because then it might, yeah, past five years, May 15th, this day in history, Jake will tweet.
He's going to tweet it out every single day. Cincinnati Reds right fielder Yaseo Puig hits a game-winning RBI single against the Chicago Cubs.
And this one belongs to the Reds. Okay, this day in history.
The Rays beat the Marlins 1-0. There you go.
That's a pretty good one. That's a really good one.
Fuck. Okay.
Let's do Firefest. Hank, Firefest.
My Firefest, my first one is that I actually can't even say what my real Firefest is until next week. So that first one.
I have a Fyre Fest, but I was just told that I'm not allowed to talk about it until next week. So that's Fyre Fest number one.
You got engaged? It's like a no-hitter? You've got something that you think is going to happen that hasn't happened yet? It's something I'm participating in, but I can't talk about it until next week. So that's my first Firefest.
My second Firefest is that last week after we had this whole conversation about pulling a Hank, as you will,
I had a perfect situation where I could have let in because I rode my longboard in, my boosted board,
which is apparently now out of business.
I rode it into work on Thursday.
I didn't realize until after we recorded that it died. It's dead.
It's not coming back. And boosted board which is apparently now out of business i wrote it into work on thursday i didn't realize till after we recorded that it died it's dead it's not coming back and boosted board dead it's dead and boosted board ceased to exist as a company so they're also dead i could have perfectly like actually you're talking about doing a hank and i could have been like hey actually my boosted board is broken and i need a new one and i didn't do that so boosted board that's my fire fest of this week if you're listening was missing that opportunity to say that My boosted board is broken, and I need a new one, and I didn't do that.
So boosted board. That's my Fyre Fest of this week.
If you're listening. I was missing that opportunity to say that my boosted board is broken.
I need a new electric skateboard. And you need an electric bike.
So that's my Fyre Fest. A bike? What about a motorcycle? What about one of those just like shitty bikes with like a lawnmower mower on it? Yeah, the ones.
Yeah, yeah. When you see delivery guys going around, they have like the electric bikes where they only have to pedal like once every 30 minutes.
Yeah. So that's my firefight.
I'm thinking that maybe Boosted Board has some inventory left over. If they're out of business, they probably just.
Well, yeah. People were saying you could like buy batteries and then you got to.
You're not a gearhead. I would explode, I think, if I didn't do that.
Why did Boosted Board go out of business? I don't know. It's fucking amazing.
It's getting way too many boosted boards. I loved my boosted board.
I think most people that do you drive a skateboard, most people that drive skateboards do it for the love of the boarding. They don't want to be pushed.
Yeah, that's true. Yeah, I mean, it's the ultimate millennial hipster move to have an electronic skateboard, but I fucking love it, so I need to get a new one, and my fire fest is that I missed that opportunity last week to let people know that I need a new one.
I got passed on, uh, on my way into work tonight. I rode the bike, the city bike in, I got passed by a boosted board and I thought it was Hank because the person almost clipped me and they kept going forward.
That'd have been ultimate intimidation. Yeah.
I thought that's what you were doing. And so it got in my head before the game i was like hank just buzzed my tower is that it hank that's it great well tune in next week for my fire fest okay my fire fest of the week is uh something that i haven't really done that much reading on but it sounds scary and it feels like something that has been building up for a while i think that congress just allowed the the FBI to access all of our search history on the internet.
Yes, I saw that tweet. I didn't click the link.
But I believe it. It seems bad.
I've been saying for years that I think at some point all of our search history is going to be totally public. And I think that the porn sites have been complicit recently.
I think that this is actually like something that's been going on for the last three years because on most major porn sites, they feature heavily the whole like stepson, stepdaughter dynamic. Even if you never click on those videos and watch them, they're pushing those on you.
I think that they've been doing that so that now they know that anyone that's been to one of these websites has either accidentally or on purpose clicked on one of those.
So they have dirt on everybody in America almost. Yeah, but if everyone has that then we can just be like, well, yeah, we all know it's a very relatable moment.
Can we just say right off the bat, we will not shame anyone if it comes out that you've clicked on. Sounds like you're really getting in front of this one.
I don't know. I don't know if I've clicked on one.
I've never. You're really getting in front of it.
I've never. I was ready to do the.
We won't change anyone. Depends on if it's stepmom or stepsister.
Thought about it a little bit. Sounds like you've been just looking at incest porn.
I've never intentionally. And you're trying to get everyone to go along with not talking about it.
It started with Game of Thrones. And when that was going on, everyone was like, let's capitalize on this.
And we'll make incest theest the new hotness and i just like to say i don't think i've ever accidentally clicked on incest porn i don't know if i have either that's the thing accidentally accidentally right so just stay woke just stay woke be careful use your friends go to the library yeah like we used to do back in the day like that famous video my favorite video ever, the dude who's masturbating at the library,
and then they caught him and interviewed him in his front lawn.
Carl Munday, one of the greatest.
That was the investigator, yeah.
Carl Munday, he pulls this guy over.
He was an Ohio State fan.
He's rocking an OSU sweatshirt.
So you just started having sex with yourself in the library?
He's like, yeah, I did.
And then they got him on his front lawn, and I think his dad or his mom came out and was like, leave my son alone. He's just jerking off in the library he's like yeah yeah and then he and then they got him on his front lawn and i think his dad or his mom came out was like leave my son alone he's just jerking off the library yeah it's great i'll find the clip hank you gotta watch that it's a great fucking great one um all right my fire fest is i got uh i'm really into naming rights and i think i'm gonna probably go broke just naming random things so i'm officially open to open for business i will buy purchase naming rights for anything what about my third nipple also planning i would okay uh triple digit hats yeah with that name yeah i'm i'm at the point of quarantine where i'm going to start buying random shit because i i have not been money gambling.
So my brain says, you'll never lose money gambling again.
You're free to spend all your money.
Stoolstream Stadium needs a name, a sponsor.
How much?
I don't know.
I don't know.
$300 for my nipple.
Let me see it.
Right there.
If you throw in the fourth, I'll think about it.
No, fourth is going to cost you.
That one's a premium.
No deal.
No deal. Okay.
I'll see you in a couple weeks. You'll be back.
What about your beard, Hank? No. You wouldn't sell your beard? Naming rights for your beard? No.
Why? Because what if I shave it? You can do whatever you want. Yeah, no, you could.
No, no, no. If you shave, we'll put it in the contract.
If you shave it, it's fine.
If you have a beard. I want final approval.
Born on Hank Lockwood.
How much right now for your firstborn?
Right now?
Yeah.
$1 million.
Cash?
Yeah.
That sounds pretty tempting right now.
You guys got equity.
Okay.
$1 million. Throw me all that.
No, let's get back on the beard. Why wouldn't you sell me your beard? Because you would name it something dumb, and then people would just be calling it something dumb.
No, we could agree to a name. We could agree to a name.
No, I don't like what I just don't. I'll pay you $50 a week for your naming rights to your beard.
No, it needs to be something that I can take off, and I don't want something that's on me full-time. You can take your beard off any time you want.
No.
Yes, you can. What about just the mustache part of it? Either way, if someone has something cool, like if you have your garage or something, I will buy naming rights to it.
So your beer pong table, your golf clubs. And what do you get out of it? They have to include me every time they use it.
They have to include me in a tweet, and they also have to display an image or poster that they pay for that says the name of the place. And if you have a website for whatever that is, you have to include at the bottom, like, our official partners, our corporate partners include Big Cat.
Open for business. Ooh.
What? I've already bought print. Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker and Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar arrested for four counts of armed robbery with a firearm.
Together?
Damn.
Arrests warrant has been issued.
Do they break shelter in place?
May 13th.
I don't like that it's two rival teams teaming up together to rob people.
Are they rivals?
Seahawks and the Giants?
Nah. They both won Super Bowls in the last 10 years.
Eh. I think they can do it.
I think they can pull that off. Either way, just hit me up for...
I already bought Brandon Walker's basement in Stephen Chase's basketball court. So, I'm in.
I'm in for anything. I would like to just name everything.
It's just brand recognition. How much would you pay for this nipple? $200 cash.
I have a little more respect for myself than that. Okay.
$300 cash. What did you say initially? I think I said $300.
Price went up. Because I know that you're willing to pay $300.
I'll pay $300 final offer. Cash right now.
$600. I'll throw the fourth in.
Nope. Fourth is barely a nipple.
I know. I got to make sure that you want it okay i will buy that my final offer 300 the nice thing about being able to name everything in the world with your naming rights is i can walk away from any negotiation because guess what pft there'll be another third nipple somewhere down the line maybe that i can buy maybe it's gonna call if you try to bring it to big boy like andy ruiz whose third nipple is like the size of the moon, then it's going to be a lot more expensive.
Tell you what. I'm going to take your offer to market if anybody else out there would like to buy naming rights to my third nipple.
Great. All right.
Let's get to Mark Cuban. We should have tried to fucking do this with Mark Cuban, just buy naming rights to all his shit in his house.
Although he probably would have done it. But he would have because he loves cash.
He also doesn't need the money. But cash is king.
You always could get more money. It's true.
We're liquid. Wow.
Another breaking news I just saw. Kenny Chesney postponed his tour.
Guess what it was called? The big cat. The big cat.
You could buy this tour for $300. You could buy PFT.
I wear a giant hat because I'm ugly. What is it? Chillaxification tour.
Fuck. Goddammit.
Wait, why can't you do the chillaxification tour? Just do it a couch tour. Chillaxification would have been so money.
Man, what even is the... It's chill, relax.
Chillax. What is the ification? Gratification? Pacification? Vacation.
Vacation. But that's not the ification.
Yeah, where's the ification? I think ification is... Pontification? What does pontification mean? Talking a lot.
Speaking a thing. Chillaxification.
I don't think he knows what that is. Chillaxification.
I don't know if he knows what that is. Chillaxification.
Kenny Chesney is a guy that just names shit after he's like how you're googling it things that he sees on bumper stickers well what does it stand for what does chillaxification stand for what's the last thing chill relax if you want a vacation if a occasion what end.

Okay, here he is, Mark Cuban.
Three, two, one, second. Yep.
you or on amazon.com okay here he is mark cuban three two one second yep let me see that office cookies i got a cookie all over my teeth let me see that office chair let me see the office chair what the hell you gotta have a nicer office chair than that comfy baby comfy comfy okay all right let's just get into it so it's uh we're welcoming on our good friend recurring guest mark cuban season 11 finale of shark tank is friday night so it's tonight when we air this we're gonna air it on friday i was just asking come on that that desk chair you have looks like you're a mid-level accountant which is not bad but you have to have like the big boss chair the intimidating boss chair that you swim around yo swag comes from who i am not what i wear not what my chair is when you got it you got it i don't have to worry about that stuff i'm just comfortable is that ergonomic or what yeah it is kind of actually okay okay it's actually really comfy okay so um it's great to have you on i think we have a bunch of different things we want to get to but let's start with the nba uh you've been very outspoken where as we're sitting here right now where are you guys at in terms of the dialogue with the league and the players as an owner are Are we going to come back? I hope so. You know, we're trying to figure out the safety side of it because that's the most important thing, right? And so I think we've got some ideas, but testing is key.
And, you know, there's not enough testing for the freaking White House, you know, and it's just hard to get the right kind of tests and make sure they're accurate. And so that's the first step.
But once we figure that out and the scientists tell us what to do, then I think we can, you know, take that Hotel California approach where we get one big hotel, quarantine everybody in there, you know, and then kind of like Big Brother, when you're eliminated, you leave. And then the last team standing in the hotel was the championship.
I love that. Is there any talk about also keeping it like a reality show where you have cameras behind the scenes in the hotel? So it's like a twofer? Absolutely.
You know, but that's a cool idea, man. Big brother NBA.
Yeah. You know, I can see that.
So how does that work with testing? You have to test what every 24 hours or every 48 hours? What have you heard? Well, if we go Hotel California, once you go in, you never leave. Right.
And so you stay there until you're eliminated. And maybe you have family, whatever.
But to get into the quarantine environment, and this is just the way I'm visualizing it. This is not what the league has told us specifically.
But once you get tested, once you get there, and if you're good, you go in. And let's just say it's in Vegas.
There's nowhere to go in Vegas right now. So you just stay there.
It'll be in a big resort-like hotel, and you just chill. And then you play your games.
If you're eliminated in the regular season, you go home. If you're in the playoffs, you play until you're done, and that's the way to work.
Okay, so real quick, it sounds like what you just said was we're not jumping to the playoffs immediately. We're going to finish out some of the regular season games.
Yeah, I would think so, right? That's my hope, hope right that's what I've been supporting um it's kind of like you know from the last dance you know how when Michael Jordan came back he played 20 games and he said he didn't have his legs for the playoffs you know and so we're going to have to play some game because if you just throw the guys in the playoffs that's going to be brutal physically yeah absolutely um so what what point in the calendar would you say goodbye to this season? Because that's what I keep thinking about. Yeah.
So let's just assume that we don't start next season until Christmas Day. Right.
So if we work backwards from there, considering everything's kind of funky, let's just say we'd have to have, you know, 60 60 days right so november october so we'd have to really and then a training camp so we'd have to be done by mid-september let's say and so you know remember the old ad for for tnt 40 games and 40 nights yeah you know so you'd need those 40 nights plus the finals so you know three months of aug You know, so if we start July, August, September, if we start sometime in July, we might be able to make it. Okay, so that's where I keep thinking of, like, at what point in the calendar.
Now, if we do, if the NBA comes back and, like you said, starts Christmas Day, do you think this is something that will be going forward we can start start Christmas Day because I've always thought that's when the NBA should start. People don't have the bandwidth to watch NBA first five games of the season when NFL football is going on.
Amen. I'm right there with you.
Okay. Oh, yeah.
I've been saying that for 15 years. And the reason I've been getting shot down is there's this thing called HUT, households using television.
And during the summer that drops, right? A lot fewer people are watching television because they can be outside. And in the past, that was a big deal.
So you wanted to end by June when you could maximize people watching TV. But as you guys know, as well as anybody, TV's changed.
TV's changed a lot. And so we're going to have a lot more options and a lot more flexibility to start later and end later.
And I agree with you, rather than taking on football, you know, with our first early games, let's let them get close to playoffs and just go wholeheartedly starting Christmas Day. I'm interested in hearing your perspective on how to kind of renegotiate things once the league gets back going, because we're seeing it in baseball that the owners are saying, OK, we're not going to do the whole prorated thing.
We're going to do a rev share, essentially, and put a soft cap in baseball. From the NBA perspective, obviously, if you guys come back, you're going to be one of the only games in town.
So I would imagine that TV rights are going to go way up. Are you going to renegotiate TV rights? Are you going to talk to players and try to figure out a different split, given the fact that you're not going to be making money off ticket sales? I mean, we have a collective bargaining agreement in place.
So I'm guessing we stick to that, but I'm not on that committee. They keep me out of there because I raised too much hell last time I was on there.
So yeah, I mean mean, I don't know specifically, and I haven't heard anything about that. But, you know, I'm guessing we'll stick with what we got, but who knows.
Has this entire experience with the pandemic made you think, like, maybe I actually am going to run for president? Yeah, you know, I'm running out of time, and my family's still against it, so that's been a mess. But it's been so crazy, right? I can never say never.
You guys have known me for a long time, man. I'm always an entrepreneur.
I'm always keeping doors open, just like you guys. You guys took from being beat up and turning around and turning into something big and special.
You know, that's what I try to do. And so, you know, if the door opens because something crazy happens, maybe.
But it's a long, long, long shot. OK, so breaking news.
Mark Cuban going to run for president. Maybe.
Yeah, exactly. We're taking two clips from this interview and it's never say never.
And then maybe maybe. So that sounds 50 50 to me.
It's going to be the PMT. It's going to be the PMT, the PMT platform.
Yes. What it's going to be.
Yes, we got you. We will be in your cabinet.
Yeah, I'll manage your campaign. What was that? Flood? Amber alert.
Yeah, that was the government being like, Cuban's talking about running for president again. Yeah.
Fucking zap his phone. There's this black helicopter outside.
Yeah, they're bugging your internet history. Perfect timing.
You have been in the news recently for talking about like, okay, here's your perspective on what America needs right now in terms of immediate stimulus, all that stuff. Have you been active in those conversations? Have you been talking to people at different levels of the government? Yeah, I mean, I talked to folks in the White House.
To the president's credit, they put me on this committee to open things back up, and they assigned me a guy who's a liaison who's been really good and really responsive. So I'm talking to him almost every day, either via email, text, or phone.
And so they've been taking my ideas. They haven't put any to work yet, but they've been listening.
What's your idea? What's one thing that you would implement right now if Mark Cuban was president? So a couple things. One, you know, when this thing first hit or we really, you know, when the NBA closed down, we knew we had a problem, right? And so they put together this thing called the PPP, the CARES Act, the stimulus program, and it was a great plan.
And if it would have hit right away, April 1st, like they had hoped, we'd be in a little different position because more people would have been able to stay with their companies and all that.
But that's not where we're at because we got all the stay at home that's extended longer than we expected. It's going to take more.
So right now, I think we need a stimulus program to create demand. And so, one, I think we need a federal jobs program.
We need to hire people because, look, we've got 33 million unemployed, another 20 underemployed. The government needs to hire people to do tracking and tracing and testing and to help people who have pre-existing conditions or are elderly, can't leave the house and need to be protected.
We need people who can do all those jobs, and the government should be the ones hiring them now so that they can start doing these things that we need, and that reduces unemployment. And then on top of that, you know, just kind of the idea that the folks have had is that we'll just keep on doing the same stimulus for small business, right? The PPP loans, and we'll keep on extending that.
But I don't think that's going to work because that kind of creates zombie businesses. You know, here's money to keep your employees hired, but they don't have anything to do.
That's not productive and doesn't get you anywhere. Honestly, I'd rather see us take, they have this thing for social security recipients called Direct Express, where they just auto deposit money in your account.
I'd rather give everybody something like that and say, you know what, bro, you have to spend $1,000 within two weeks. And if you don't spend it, you lose it.
And that way you're going to get people spending money. That way you're going to have business coming into small and large businesses.
And when you have that demand, they need their workers to work. That keeps people employed.
And then if that's not enough, that that doesn't jumpstart it, then you do it again in two weeks. Then you do it again.
But, you know, if there's 150 million households and we gave them all a thousand bucks every two weeks, that's 150 billion every two weeks 300 million um a month and then we could go six months compared to what what we've already tried so i'd rather see something that stimulates demand if i if that's part of my if you guys approve right because it's got to be part of the pmt platform right and we could actually just you know dumb that down and be like hey you guys remember the movie Brewster's Millions? We're just going to do that. Bingo.
That's exactly right. Done.
Okay, so I also had – I need your – I need you to agree on an idea that I had to start the pandemic because you are someone in a position of power who can get this done. We have to learn from this pandemic.
We can't be naive and think like, oh, this could never happen again. So my idea is every single sports franchise needs to every single year play a game that is secretly taped that we do not know the result of and then save it in case of something like this happening again.
Because could you imagine if we had even the nba champion mavs from that season playing a game against the heat in you know what i mean like an extra game and we broadcast it and it's like boom you don't know what's going to happen you can bet on it you can do everything we need that okay done and done man the secret tapes yes nba this every. Every sport.
So I'm holding you to that. So next year I need you to, it could even be an, it could be like a very competitive inner squad scrimmage where you, you know, like everyone you're keeping score and it's a real game.
That would be fine. I would take that.
I agree, man. You can take your two-way players and the last three guys, four guys on the bench, throw them into kind of an early game.
Like you used to have the JV before the varsity. Yes, yes.
Throw them into an early game, kind of like the G League games, and just hold it and not tell anybody. Yes.
Oh, my God. Absolutely.
Okay. Just something.
Yeah, just give us something. Add that to the PMT platform.
Boom. I think this is a winning a winning ticket.
Like right away, who's saying no to any of this? If you're doing these games in Vegas, have you given any thought? Because we thought about this during the NCAA tournament that almost happened, but it didn't. If you just had one fan, one celebrity fan from each team sitting in the stands like on opposite sides of each other.
So at least you you get somebody there that's actually a great idea right and just like auction it for charity or whatever but just to have like if we played the knicks spike lee right and maybe jamie fox from dallas right or whoever um i love that idea add that to the pmt platform okay drake for every team yeah or you you can be there for the mavss, but you have to wear the super baggy jeans you used to wear in the Mavs football jersey. Throwback.
I might have some of those back in the day because I keep everything. See, if we had the old tapes, we would be watching not only a Mavs game from 2006, but we would be watching you and your fashion from then.
It would incredible it'd be incredible including including my and one slip-on shoes yeah hell yes yes um i saw in the news that you had a brush with i'm sure you've you've had more than one brush but a brush with michael jordan uh when he was deciding to go to the wizards play get ownership uh what was that like? Because you were trying to get him to come to the Mavs, right? Yeah. So David Falk, his agent, called me up.
I mean, he's an agent, right? He wants to get to know a new owner. And he's like, why don't you come to D.C.
and come to my office and meet Michael Jordan? And I'm like, yeah, of course. Are you kidding me? And so I get there, and he's got all these papers spread out, and he starts telling me about how he's going to the Wizards.
I'm like, yeah, of course. You know, are you kidding me? And so I get there and he's got all these papers spread out
and he starts telling me about how he's going to the Wizards.
I'm like, don't sign it.
Don't sign it.
And I try to give him that last minute bitch, you know,
and he wouldn't go for it.
He's like, look, Mark, I really appreciate it,
but I gave my word and I'm a man of my word.
And so to his credit, he signed,
but it was still the biggest mistake of his career.
Damn.
That would have been awesome if he had gone to Dallasallas yeah have you been watching the documentary the last dance oh hell yeah absolutely so i was actually curious to talk to you about this because when they had the bulls together in the 90s there was a very very big problem that they had with who wanted more credit for winning these titles right you saw it with kraus you saw with ryan's or ryan'sf. You saw it with Jordan and Pippen.
When you had a successful Mavericks team, when you guys won the NBA title, was it 2011? How did you handle that? Was there a part of you that was like, I want credit for being the guy, the cubes that turned this entire franchise around? Oh, man, I was happy for Dirk. I was happy for J-Kid, for Sean Marion, and Trix.
Who else did we have? Tyson Chandler, you know, Deshaun, all the guys. It was their trophy.
And even when you had that trophy handing over ceremony where the Commissioner Stern gives you the trophy, I had him give it to the original owner of the Mavs, Don Carter. Rest in peace, Mr.
C. And so I didn't care about the credit, man.
I just wanted to drink the beer and party and carry that sucker around. Motherfucker.
And actually, you can't see it, but Larry O'Brien is right over there behind my desk. Nice, nice.
So when you – have you ever – you had the NBA, you bought the team. David Stern was still the commissioner, rest in peace.
peace did you ever ask him on the side because this is obviously the conspiracy theory everyone's talking about what happened with mj and his retirement did you ever have that conversation with him yes yes okay but he wouldn't tell me there's nothing he's like shut up don't be stupid there's nothing did you ask him about the ewing the the the frozen envelope for Patrick Ewing? Did not. But you guys want to hear another Michael Jordan story? This is the first time I got to really hang out with Michael.
And so it was a golf tournament in Reno. And I'd never been to Reno.
And so Charles Barkley says, okay, we're going down to play blackjack. So come on down.
And it was the craziest moment. So there's Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan, Pete Sampras, Mary Lemieux, and me at this blackjack table.
And I pull out $100, you know, because I'm like, I didn't bring money to that up. And Jordan looks at me and goes, what the fuck? He goes, you can't play $100 at this table because he's playing like 10 grand and Barclay's playing like five grand.
And he goes to the casino guy. He goes, Mr.
Cuban, give Mr. Cuban a million dollar line of credit.
The casino guy goes, Mr. Cuban, would you like a million dollar line of credit i'm like sure oh my god damn i got in there and you know i i played a thousand bucks a hand which was like the most i'd ever played at that point and i mean it was a blast and then we ended up with charles barkley we went to um with all the guys actually we went to this party they had and charles literally bought 50 bottles of tequila and was handing them out in front of this d oh my god one of the best party nights ever incredible did you how did mj do a blackjack was he uh a by the book player yeah no he played he played normal strategy every now and then he deferred but uh he played two hands so he was playing like 25 grand and 25 grand so he got actually he wanted to play two hands and We didn't have the slot, so he played two hands.
So he was playing like 25 grand and 25 grand.
So he got, actually, he wanted to play two hands and we didn't have the slot. So he left our table,
went to the one next door, and I'm watching him going,
oh my God. These guys are hardcore.
They were really into it.
Was he wearing his jeans that night? The big baggy ones?
Yeah.
He wasn't wearing a suit. Yeah, I don't remember
what he was wearing. I don't remember what I
was wearing either, but it was probably the big baggy jeans then, you jeans. That is a squad.
Were you up that night? Did you win? Yeah, but like two grand or whatever, yeah. How does that work when you get a million-dollar line of credit at a casino? Did you feel like you were actually playing with house money at that point? No, no, no.
I knew I'd have to pay it back. It wasn't like that at all, man.
Because they make you sign this little thing that says, no matter what, here's the money. Here's your 5,000 or 10,000, whenever I got to start.
Here's your buy-in and you owe us this money. And oh, by the way, we will hunt you down if you don't pay it.
And so, yeah, it wasn't like it was house money. It was my money and I knew it.
Hey, what's going on there, pal? We saw you at the hockey game on. Do I know you guys? I'm Ryan Whitney.
I got a drink named after me. Not a big deal.
Pink Whitney? That's what I thought. See you, fellas.
I invented the thing, you pigeon. Pink Whitney for legendary moments.
And now, back to Mark Cuban. I'm always curious, do you and Jerry Jones ever talk? Just like talk shop owner to owner? Yeah.
Has he asked you for advice on what to do with Dak? The only time we've talked shop like that was, golly, who was the coach? Oh, the guy who was the defensive coach that went to Buffalo. Wade.
Wade, yeah. phillips that was the only time and i actually called him he didn't call me because i had just gone through some things with my coach and i just said you know what here's what i found out you know you can use it or not use it and you know we never really talked about it after that but jerry and i have stayed friends i mean i like the guy do you have uh season tickets to the cowboys yeah absolutely i've got a suite okay nice um we'll we'll go to that whenever you want us to come down anytime as soon as we can have people in the suite yeah you got it we'll be we'll be like your version of chris christie hanging out in jerry jones suite bring it i'd rather have you guys yeah yeah i mean thanks for the invite appreciate that i won't wear, uh, we got, we got to discuss our political platforms.
You guys have to be there. Where else are we going to have our meetings? You can't, you know, you got to have metagame.
Yes. And take names.
That's the Cuban 2020 platform. Dessert cart for everyone.
Boom. Like, wait, did you guys come up with this platform when you were in a suite? Yeah, we did.
Um, absolutely. So, so season 11 finale of shark tank is is tonight what what was your favorite investment from this season um okay there there's this um oh my god what the snack snack lens okay so you know i'm always looking for new good ways to eat junk right so this thing called Snacklands, which are the best dippers ever in the history of the world.
They're crunchy, and they're scoopy-shaped, and you can just scoop into anything, right? Whatever dip you got, right? And they're amazing. They taste good, all these different flavors.
And they're only like 80 calories. So I literally buy these things by the box and they've just blown up with everybody
staying at home. Everybody's just watching Netflix and eating all the nonsense we love to eat.
Right.
That's been my favorite by far. And it's not, well, one other one that's close is this thing
called unreal deli. It's like, I went vegetarian.
And so I love corn beef. I got to have my,
my Rubens. Right.
And so this thing called unreal deli is, is, is amazing.
Uh, I like the idea of the snack lens. It's.
It's like a spoon that you can eat. We actually have a little spoon, right? We got a great spokesperson, I think, for snacklins, and she is electric.
She's guaranteed to get impressions on social media, the snacking girl. Oh, yeah, the snack girl.
You should hire the snacking girl to do your jingle for you. Have you seen her? You guys do no wrong.
You guys can get nothing wrong. I'm down.
Let's go. Sounds like you're regretting never investing in my brain the way we're talking right now.
You know what? I kind of am. Yeah.
Yes. Yes.
You would have had a great ROI. I just remembered this.
So it's been so long since sports have been around and it feels like the last two months have been a year. When the NBA season first got suspended there was a clip of you finding out on your phone and then showing everyone on the court.
How thrilling was that moment? It was brutal man. I was like freaked out.
I was stunned. But you know when something crazy happens you got to tell everybody right yes and so I'm like why you know it was wild I mean because we had talked about it in the locker room beforehand and even Luca had asked me what's the chances of the season getting suspended or canceled and I'm like five ten percent I don't see it happening um and then that was before the game and I walked out I.
I remember telling Michael Finley, like, I walk out from through the tunnel, and I had no idea how many people would be in the stands, you know, because there could have been, you know, half the crowd, right, or 10 people there. It was packed.
And I'm thinking, well, you know, maybe this thing isn't as bad, and these folks know more than I do. And then third quarter, and you knew something crazy was going to happen because Boban had the game of his life.
You know, Boban put up 31 and 15. And so it was just a crazy night.
But yeah, when that when that thing hit me, I was stunned. Yeah, it's I mean, obviously, it's terrible news.
But it's it is thrilling to be able to tell everyone news that they don't know. You got to.
Yeah. Yes.
Yes. Have you been in touch with your players and, and like gauging what they feel about coming back? Yeah, we have a group chat.
And so everybody's throwing up dumb stuff on there, but every now and then there's a real question and we'll have another, we'll have a zoom again with all the guys, I think in a couple of days and everybody's just ready to come back, man. They're bored.
Yeah. You know, they, they want to start working into it.
They're basketball players. They're athletes.
They don't want an offseason. They want to play.
Who's the most active on that group chat? Courtney Lee. Yeah.
Okay. Is he a big gift guy? Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Gifts and videos and just crazy stuff.
I love it, man. It's awesome.
How much do you think goes on on the group chat that they don't have you on? Oh, all the shit that gets really talked. They put the goofy stuff in the one-on, man.
Yeah, I'm not stupid, man. I already know.
I already know, but that's okay. I get enough of the spillover that it's okay.
Okay, that's fair. Wait, wait.
If they do the league in Vegas, are you going to go to the quarantine island to the Hotel California? Absolutely. So you're going to quarantine yourself along with the team.
Do you think that other owners are going to do that? Do I care? Probably not. You guys should have owners wrestle too.
There ain't no white people put on an MMA. He'll do anything.
There should be a separate wing for just the owners, owner house yeah they try to do that during all-star and that doesn't work but hey just google me and wwe wwe i know you'll see how i get it done yes i know i know um how many companies you're up to uh now because last time we talked to you you're one of your one of your uh lines was like i got a company for this i got a company for for that. How many do you have right now? I think it's like 210.
Woo! Damn. Sheesh.
You ever think about just giving a random person on Twitter one of them? No. No, because then I feel guilty.
That's a lot of work. Okay.
What about a random podcaster? What do you got? Tell me a company that needs a kick in the ass by us. We'll take it.
All right. We'll shape it up.
We'll live stream it. We'll do a video.
You can own the video. Let's go with Snacklins.
Let's go with Snacklins. I'll just send you just boxes and boxes of Snacklins.
You'll have Snacklins everywhere. We'll send you some dip, whatever you want.
Snacklins. We can do that.
We can snacklinks we can do that we can do that just snack get get fed because we're trying to do this thing where me and hank get up to 200 pounds and big cat gets down to 200 pounds yeah we're meeting the middle okay so if i eat enough snacklinks and big cat eats just like a sensible amount of snacklinks then uh it's perfect i'll tell you what no big cat if you want to lose some weight yeah let me just tell you i've got this um company alissa's healthy cookies you can get them on amazon but i'll send you a bunch that's my breakfast every morning what sweet and they have that's why i was you know i was doing the water to get them out of my cookies that's what i was eating whenever i have a sweet fix these things are high protein high fiber low carb i've had these before i actually i'm looking at right now they are good they're very good not to give you any more plugs that you know help you out but they are good i have had them before yo let me let me just tell you okay let me take a story on this guy so this guy um doug emails me this cookie and it's like it's good i like it but it just needs to make some changes but the better part is the dude's living in his car with his wife and daughter just stuck. And he's like, it's good.
I like it, but it just needs to make some changes. But the better part is the dude's living in his car with his wife and daughter, just stuck.
And he's like, I can't get this to go. I live in Florida.
What do you think you can do to help me? I'm like, okay, look, I think I can help you because the cookie tastes great, but it falls apart. Let me find a better way to do it.
And so I invested and got 40% of the company living out of his car. I did a couple sampling sessions at local grocery stores here.
And that was in 2012. This past year, 2019, they did almost $20 million in business and he made 10 million in profits.
I mean, from living in his car, that's how good the product is. We don't spend anything on advertising.
It's just an incredible product. You actually, now that I'm remembering it, I'm looking it up, you sent them to me.
You sent them to me like two or three years ago. Or someone from your office.
I'll send you more, man. Yes, someone from your office sent it.
Because I was like, why do I recognize those cookies? Yes, they are delicious. And I really, I would say any cookie is delicious, but they were delicious.
But they're delicious and healthy. That's the thing, right? Right.
Alyssa's healthy cookies. I love that they got a cookie and they go, you know who would love this? You know who loves cookies? Seriously.
Someone from his office hit me up and was like, we got a hoverboard and cookies. You want them? And I was like, yum.
The hoverboard is big to us, right? That was awesome. Yeah.board yeah yes yes do you know do you know how much you're worth right now no really i would like always google myself and my net worth if i were you just guess yeah guess i did i used to i'm not gonna lie i used to have a thing in my wallet that had my net worth.
So I'd look to see what was in the bank and add it all up in a spreadsheet and all that, but not anymore. Just take a guess.
It just depends on what you value the maps at. Right now, you don't know or shut down.
Just what Google.com says. Oh, I don't know.
Four point something? Yeah, 4.3. That's pretty close.
Yeah, nice. If I had said three, you would have been like, fuck.
Yeah. No, no man it's like forbes always asked me you know is this correct you know we're doing the forbes 400 like i don't care but the first year i did care the first year i was like no this isn't right this isn't right and then i got on there and that was cool enough and so it was like nah um all right i got one last question for you i've been very curious about this and i know that the the NBA is on the forefront of sports gambling and trying to get ahead of it.
Do you think that there will be states coming out of this pandemic who are like, we need to get some more revenue going? Do you think the gambling legalization will kind of hit like a supercharge here in the next year or so and more states will see it happen? 100%. Absolutely.
Absolutely. tax revenue right and are you gonna are you uh like the minute you can get one inside the arena are you in for it oh yeah i mean look what's going on with the wizards you know the ted the honestist is just all about it man they've done a great job figuring out how to integrate it and make it fun and entertaining and get more fans and yeah absolutely all in i love that that'd be such a good addition to a game where like in between quarters you can just go out and put a live bet on the game that's sweet oh yeah all the prop bets and everything oh man it'd be insane yes to be nuts yes um my last question there are two different organizations near and dear to my heart that i'm not athletic enough to actually play in that have come up for sale recently.
I want to know if you've given any thought to either one of them. The XFL declared bankruptcy.
So they're coming up for sale. And USA Rugby also declared bankruptcy.
Okay. So XFL reached out to me, two different groups reached out to me, but it's just too much.
I've got too much to deal with, with the Mavs. Right? So I can't get into that at all.
USA Rugby is different, man, because, you know, it's something closer to my heart as opposed to football. And I just got to get through this first.
I mean, with all those companies, right, trying to help everybody, trying to figure out how to get the Mavs back in gear. I just got too much shit going on just to take on something new that would be important to me because with nothing worse than saying okay usa rugby let's do this and get it done and then not be available to help them so you know i kind of told them it's not out of the question and i'm doing this other little thing for them um so yeah if i can help them i will i'm just i just don't have time to deal with it right now okay but not a no that was again not a no yeah i got two rugby balls over there so if there.
So if you ever want, when you guys come and we go to a Mavs game, we're at Cowboys game this week, we'll bring the rugby ball and we'll toss it around in the suite and show them what a real sport's all about. I love it.
I actually have one last, last, last question. Wait, I was going to fuck.
What was it? Ask him how horny Barbara is on set. No, we know horny.
my god loves us you can imagine it is crazy she was draped all over me like a nightshade oh yeah she was great wasn't yes yes she all right i remembered it i remembered it do you uh indiana guys i would assume that you talk every now and then to isaiah thomas is that a fair assumption have you talked to him him at all about what we've watched in the last dance?
No, I have not. Cause I don't want to be that guy that just,
Oh, tell me what happened. Just like I didn't reach out to MJ.
You got to give it some time. And then when I see him,
when we all get back together, yeah, I'll ask him. Yeah.
And I'll ask MJ and I want to know like Charles won't tell me about his deal with Michael either. They, I mean, they've had a falling out again.
So I hope they, you know, figure it out, but yeah, it's,
we've joked that i think half
the reason why mj did the documentary was to preserve his legacy and half was to just shit
on isaiah thomas oh absolutely and it's great because it's grudges you know oh my god and
michael holds them man i love him to death man mj's a good dude when you just hang around him
you know he's just fun to be around and he's got a good heart but um yeah when he's pissed
Thank you. man i love him to death man mj's a good dude when you just hang around him you know he's just fun to be around and he's got a good heart but um yeah when he's pissed yeah wait when you're hanging with michael jordan is he he's the alpha in the room right hell no oh what you're not the alpha is he let you think you're the alpha let's just put it this way let's just put this way.
When Michael Jordan bought the Charlotte Hornets, they asked him who he wanted, what kind of owner did he want to be? He said, I want to be like Mark Cuban. Oh, interesting.
I still think he's the alpha in the room. Yeah, he probably is.
What move did you pull on Michael like the first time that you knew that you needed to alpha him? I'm not talking like a friendship-type that you were having, but like a business relationship type hang where you were like, I need to let him know whose nuts hang lower. Sean Brasso, he was with the Wizards, right? And we were playing the Wizards and he didn't like Sean Bradley as a player.
And I said, I'm going to tell Sean Bradley and Sean Bradley is going to kick the Wizards ass and we're going to beat your ass. And he was like, cursing his ass so he's up in the suite and I'm down on the court and we just torch him and the whole game every time Sean Bradley scored a basket I would just point up to him and give him shit and so he knew you know and then you know we've done some deals and everything now and then but um yeah Michael's Michael's good dude, but he knows when it comes to business,
now he's on my turf and he ain't got it.
There's just no chance.
He's going to make another documentary in 30 years about how he bankrupted.
You know what?
Bring it.
Bring it.
All right.
Let me just tell you, guys, let me just tell you.
In basketball, you compete for 48 minutes.
You practice a couple hours.
You guys know in business, it's 24 by 7 by 365
and everybody's trying to kick your ass. Everybody's trying to come after you and you got to battle all the time.
Sports are easy, easy. Business is the ultimate competition, right? Am I right? Yeah, you're right.
You're right. What about, what about you and Elon Musk? The two of you get into a room together.
Who's the alpha? Yeah, I don't know him well enough. Um, but elon respect man he's just all tunnel vision you know there's no people skills there that i've experienced with elon but i respect the hell out of him right because he goes elon's like the only business guy or business person where he does something i think why the fuck did i think of that right the only one ever so i give him his props okay that's fair um tunnel vision yeah that's a good line uh mark cuban thank you so much as always season 11 finale shark tank tonight there's nothing else on so you gotta watch it you gotta watch it i mean come on shark tank is the best and there's no live sports so watch it tonight and bet on it too you can i think you can

Okay, let's get to our Mount Rushmore in our documentary review.
We have some ideas, by the way. People are saying the IFA is Wi-Fi at the show.
Oh, there's going to be Wi-Fi at the show. Okay.
Someone is saying it's chill, relax, infinite vacation. I like that.
So if... No, that's still...
It's not chillax, chillax, inficationax ification. And this one's probably the right one.
The ifa would define the act of chillaxification of his tour, which we said. Right, right.
Okay. So that, I guess, makes sense.
Trust the process. Yeah, I just...
Chillaxification. I'm so mad that this tour's not going to happen.
I know. What the fuck? I was looking to chillaxify.
It's driving me nuts.
We should do a part of a chillaxification episode of part of my take.
Yeah, we should do that instead of like every single, I don't know, every other Wednesday besides D&D.
We should chillaxify.
Okay.
Well, yeah, we'll do a segment.
Your chillaxification of the week.
Okay.
Let's do our Mount Flushmore.
Then we'll finish up with Ronnie Coleman, the king. Mount Flushmore of the week.
Okay, let's do our Mount Flushmore, then we'll finish up with Ronnie Coleman, the king.
Mount Flushmore of...
Wait. No, this is Mount Rushmore of life's little embarrassing moments.
Yeah. That would be, right? Yep.
It would be a Mount Rushmore, technically. Okay, so I go first? Yeah.
Mount Rushmore of life's little embarrassing moments. I'll just go with the old faithful, like, introducing yourself to someone who you know, who you've met before, who you work with, and just being like, hey, how you doing? I'm Dan.
And then like, yeah, we've met. who you work with and just being like hey how you doing i'm dan and then like yeah we've met yep that is horrible i did that like a year ago i was like hey what's up i'm pft and they're like yeah i know we work together that person had been working here for like two weeks hadn't met him yet they're on the third floor but it's bad that was tough that's why i always go with the tried and true good to see you yeah hey chief hey pal there you go pal.
There you go. Or just introduce someone right next to you.
Yeah, that's a great one, too. Yeah, or do the old, how do you spell your name again? And then they're like, it's J-O-E.
Fuck. Okay, Hank.
The subway, if you're in a line in the subway, your subway card's not working, and you're just standing there, and it's scanning, and there's someone behind you, and you're just like, I don't know why it's not scanning, but I have money on it similar i mean chip card chip reader is the same thing it's like for whatever reason you're at the store and the card chip reader is just not reading dude i did yesterday or two days ago when we were back in here i was i parked my car in the lot and i went to pay put the chip in and it said do not remove chip and for some reason my brain just stopped and i just pulled it out yeah i do that i was like sorry dude you know start the whole process You know why? Because it says remove do not remove chip. And for some reason, my brain just stopped and I just pulled it out.
Yeah, I do that all the time. I was like, sorry, dude.
You need to start the whole process again. You know why? Because it says remove chip on there.
Yes, right. And so sometimes you skip that.
Also, I don't like being told what to do by a fucking machine. But then it's a whole process.
Okay, PFT, you're two. All right, my first two, just a classic.
Tripping on the sidewalk in front of a bunch of strangers. Breaking your foot.
If you trip on the... Well, I actually didn't really trip when that happened.
I kept walking. Tripping is bad.
But tri sidewalk in front of a bunch of strangers breaking your foot if you trip on it well i actually didn't really trip when that happened i kept walking tripping it's bad but tripping in front of strangers is just it's tough to come back slipping on ice really bad my second is going to be messing up a parallel park when there are people around and you just know that everybody that's watching you is really fucking good at parallel parking. Yep.
And you're going back for like your second or third shot.
That's tough.
Yep.
Where would you rank our friend Brandon Walker when he came to my neighborhood two weeks ago?
Couldn't parallel park his car, so I had to do it for him.
That's a cucking.
Yeah.
That's a parallel cucking.
And I got it on the first try.
God damn, Brandon.
Brutal.
Okay, Hank. I think you own his car.
I do too. Yeah, you own his car now.
I do too. Oh, it is me.
Having like your boss or someone that's like a superior to you or like a girl just be like you have something on your face. Yep.
You got something right there, Hank. Something right there.
Oh, it's your beard. It's your big cat beard presented by Barstool Big Cat.
Yes. Love it.
Okay. That's a good one.
I will go with the accidental reply all in email or replying to someone you didn't mean to reply to cousins of the screenshot text and send to someone. You send the screenshot text to the person.
That's way worse than a reply all. Well, so it's way.
That's a major embarrassment. That's embarrassment that's not like yeah that's a life it's like technological screw-ups where you just send something to someone you're not supposed to send it to so it's like yeah that that is a major major screw up i think steve jobs should actually get on that and there should be some sort of ai program where they they can prevent that you know when you send an email out and she can call him yeah when you send an email out and it says it says like you mentioned the word attachment in this email but there's no attachment there should be something on an iphone that recognizes when you're sending a screenshot of that conversation to that conversation yes yes um all right my next one is uh taking a huge shit in a public bathroom and then having someone walk in right after or standing like right outside the bathroom.
And you're like, okay. Like the unisex bathroom at a restaurant and then there's a hot woman standing there waiting and you're like, ah.
Well, I mean, what restaurant of any class is a unisex? A lot of them. A lot of them, dude.
The vast majority. You're like, I don't think you've been in a nice restaurant before.
No, yeah. What? Like a small, nice restaurant will just have two bathrooms.
Oh, yeah. I guess a new, yeah.
Yeah, they'll have singles. I'm not talking about stalls.
I'm talking about when you go into a single, you could be at work. It could be at a restaurant, and you just drop heat.
And then the minute you walk out, there's someone just standing there. And you that like moment where they know and you know, and you're just like, okay.
I'm such an asshole though. That like, that doesn't embarrass me because I don't know the person.
Oh, it embarrasses me so bad. I also like the thought that Hank has just assumed that he's been nailing it going into the boys bathroom every single time.
Not realizing that it was for anybody. It has to be like very close quarters, and they can sense the heat coming from the bathroom before you even pass them.
That's when it's the worst. Pulling a push door.
Easy, simple. Yep, yep, yep.
It is tough. And there's a push door here that I pull every single time.
We've been in this office for over a year.
I don't think I've gotten it right once.
And I get embarrassed every time.
I have to turn around and make a joke at Ebony and be like, ha ha, yeah, classic, huh? Uh-huh.
For my third one, I'm going to go with telling a TSA agent you too when they tell you to have a nice flight.
Yep.
Well, not TSA.
The TSA people don't fucking say that.
They're too mean.
The woman who checks your back or the man who checks your back. Or like the cab driver that drops you off at the airport.
Yeah, that's right. Or you check your bags.
You're like, have a great flight. Saying you two to somebody that tells you to have a great flight.
That's not having a flight. Or when you go to a movie and they take your stub and they're like, enjoy the show.
And you're like, you two. You two.
Boom. Well, actually, you'll just be standing here.
It's one of those things. You take two steps and you just, your body just feels hot.
Shit. And you're like, God damn, I screwed that up again.
My last one, my last one, I'm going to go with not being able to finish a meal in company. Wouldn't know.
Yeah. That one I would never know about.
If I got embarrassed by that, I would live my life in a constant state of embarrassment. If I ever once, ever in my entire life, didn't finish my full meal, then I would maybe feel embarrassed.
You've absolutely at least one time not finished a meal. When your eyes are bigger than your stomach.
Yes, you have. You're a cereal over-orderer and then not a meal finisher.
Wait, no, no, no. But over-ordering and not finishing are not the same thing.
Yes. No, they're not.
No, no, no. No, no, no.
No, no, no. It is different.
I'm talking about you get an entree and you don't finish your entree. When I over-order, I am saying to the world, yo, we're having one of everything.
I don't plan on finishing. That's a totally different, separate category.
What PFT is talking about, and I agree, when you have like one dinner, you have a piece of steak and a potato, always finish it. What I'm referring to specifically is when the server comes over to clean your plate and takes it and says, did you not like it? Or your eyes were bigger than your stomach? Do you want a bag? Do you want a bag? That's the story of my life.
Being a grown man getting asked if I need a bag to walk out of a restaurant so I can carry my food that my body wasn't able to process, that is as embarrassing as it gets for me. Hank, do you not like my overordering? No, I do.
I was just thinking like you're like, it's never happened to me that I haven't finished a meal. I've thought back to many times when we leave a table where there's a lot of food left.
Right. Totally different.
But I think being an over-orderer- I love your over-ordering because I'm a snacker. I'm not someone that gives a shit.
I don't get embarrassed about leaving food on the table. So when you over-order, I'm like, yes, because now I'm not going to get shamed for being the only person leaving food.
So I enjoy your over-ordering. Yeah.
It's like a top four asset that I have as a human being if we go out to dinner i have no problem with being like yo let's get all the appetite and even though i am a big time my my my eyes are bigger than my stomach but i like to snack on different apps but i know that if i was by myself i couldn't order all the things because i can't even finish my entree but in theory you want all the apps sometimes it's nice because i order two entres. So when I'm with you, it's nice because I'm like, I didn't say anything.
Sometimes I'll order two entres. That's king shit.
My last one, I will go when you're parachuting and you pull the parachute too early and you fall to your death. Classic.
That's a little. Classic embarrassment.
Oh, Call of Duty. Oh, okay.
I didn't get that at first. Also, real life.
Yeah. Yeah.
But really embarrassing in Call of Duty. Especially when people are watching you and you just know, like, there's...
You just blame the servers. Throwing intercepts.
Yeah, definitely. I just, yeah.
Blaming the servers. These are all real life moments when F should be going in the chat.
Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah.
This last one I have might be... I might be telling on myself, I don't know.
I think a lot of guys have this happen. Just a little tiny dribble on your pants that sucks yeah just a little dribble and then people start doing the math yeah they're like that's where his penis ends got it okay no you can't control your your your penis and your pee i'm like no actually i cannot yeah i cannot sometimes you put it back in and it needs to breathe a little bit yeah i'm uh that's that that one sucks and And you have to do the thing where you kind of shield yourself.
Old school one, obviously, calling your teacher mom. Yeah.
Or just saying, I love you to someone by accident that you shouldn't say that to. Yeah.
Like PFT every day for the AWL. No, I say that with a great amount of intent.
When you can't pee at the urinal is one that i think a lot of people experience i don't have a problem with with stage fright at a urinal um in fact i take great pride in being able to walk into the center urinal when i'm flanked by by uh bogeys on either side and just letting the stream go but a lot of people have problems with that that's got to be very embarrassing reading words phonetically yep yep uh for and then getting called out on them but you nailed phonetically yeah you did i'm so used to being like idiot savant um whoa it's a compliment so was einstein yeah that's a compliment uh playing pick up basketball when you get a perfect pass and you miss the layup that's brutal and you're just like okay now everyone's looking at me i'm the asshole getting caught in a lie just in general yeah like a white lie too
yeah that That's brutal. And you're just like, okay, now everyone's looking at me.
I'm the asshole. Getting caught in a lie, just in general.
Yeah. Like a white lie, too.
Yeah, obviously, like a big lie wouldn't be embarrassing. Right.
But if you're like, no, I already ate. If somebody's serving you something you don't like, and it's like, no, you didn't.
Yes. Yes.
This is a small embarrassment I get all the time because I just don't know New York City enough. Like, I vision.
Go to my house. Go to work.
When someone asks for directions in my neighborhood and I've been living there for three years and I can't give them to them. That's brutal.
But in New York, it's not rude to just do the walk-by and not even acknowledge the question. It's like when you're walking.
I'm walking Stella. So they're like, oh, this person lives here.
And they're like, what is this and it's one street over i'm like i don't know the thing is stella probably knows the answer like in her if they're asking like hey where's the coffee shop that i'm looking for stella's like we've walked past this yes a million times it's the one that smells like treats yes uh what about accidentally tweeting the same thing twice because you thought that it saved to drafts and it's still it's still loaded in your phone so it's not like you're retyping it but you send it twice and then you have to delete one of them and then everyone's like boom you got caught yes yes um or missing like a major plot line in a movie or a like show or something because you weren't really paying attention and then tweeting about it and everyone's like you're a fucking idiot that sucks uh any other life smalls and small embarrassments getting swept in ping pong yep that's a really big one that's a really big one uh if you just fart and like like thinking no one's gonna come over to your area and someone does yeah it sucks when you're like i'm in the clear if you're like in your cube and you're like i'm good that can be a rush though like there's a there's a rush and like trying to put off a fart on so oh what is like like really trying to throw people off the stench but sometimes you know that they know that you're just doing that but sometimes when you earnestly get away with it and you're like oh what is that and someone's like oh it's definitely that guy you're like yep that fucking asshole sneaky one is is eating uh smelly food in front of other people like if you eat tuna fish which is delicious but you're like ashamed of it i hate that i'll just stuff it in my mouth in the kitchen just so that people can't look at me all weird yeah it's definitely a bad one yeah um all right let's finish up the show we've got a big show coming monday should we say who we got let's do do it. Yeah.
Carl Malone on the show talking Last Dance ish NBA. Just whatever came to Carl Malone's mind.
Yeah. He kind of dominated our interview.
I took his shirt off like PFT right now. Actually, I took my shirt off for a little bit there too and then I realized I was fat.
Let's talk Ronnie Coleman. Ronnie Coleman the the king so we're doing a documentary
every Friday
are we going to do
next Friday
we're going to do it
dude perfect
yeah I think we have to
so
no
why
I can't watch that
why
our enemies
dude perfect
let's fucking do it
drop the documentary
about their lives
I actually don't know
what it's about
let's do it
we're going to watch it
and then they
they tried to come back
at me online
because I said I was
going to hate watch
the fuck out of it
and then they replied
to me
Thank you. about their lives.
I actually don't know what it's about. Let's do it.
We're going to watch it. And then they tried to come back at me online because I said I was going to hate watch the fuck out of it.
And then they replied to me, we still haven't broken up yet. So we're on their radar.
Damn. All right.
So we're watching June Perfect next week. Ronnie Coleman, the king.
This was my documentary I threw out there. I will say my bad because it was not as good as I thought.
It could have been so much better. It was so weird and just kind of meandered.
But Ronnie Coleman is still a legend. He is a legend.
They were just bouncing too much into his real life. Right.
Or not like his current life. The story is what I wanted to know more about.
Yes. But the day-to-day, I'm super sore and I just go to the gym and stuff.
That was too much of that for me. One thing that I noticed that I think we've been kind of talking about a little bit the last couple weeks is that he trained in the shittiest gyms.
Yes. And I think that those weights are, in fact, heavier in shitty gyms.
Absolutely. If you go to a place that's 100 degrees inside, that's got cobwebs and dust and shit everywhere, you're going to get a better pump than if you go to a Gold's Gym in Manhattan Beach.
I also don't fully understand. So the guy who owns the gym that Ronnie Coleman went to, Brian Dobson, he was part of the documentary, and he obviously looked like he was in sane shape like 15 years ago.
He looks like shit right now. What's the point of lifting so much if you're going to look like shit later? Right.
Old bodybuilder bodies are very, very strange to look at. Yeah, actually, Ronnie Coleman, outside of the veins, like his body still kind of held up except for his back and all those.
But I'm saying like visually his body still he looked like he had a six pack and he looked ripped. But he was an insane athlete.
The fact that he won eight times in a row is crazy, crazy. And I love the part of the story where he kept on struggling to win, and then all of a sudden he just drank vodka and ate pizza and was like, boom, next thing you know, it unlocked all of my abilities.
Because he was a little bit dehydrated. He was a little dehydrated and also just needed to loosen up.
Well, as the coffee combined with the vodka, they're both diuretics, right? They both suck a little moisture out of your body, so your veins pop the next day. I was a little disappointed.
I saw too much of bodybuilder Jay Cutler because bodybuilding Jay Cutler was just kind of like a if-you-know-you-know kind of guy. Right.
For people that had stumbled into pictures of him when they Googled images for Jay Cutler, the football player, and their pages is filled with this shirtless bronze guy. Now I know that he's a real person with thoughts and feelings and not just somebody that pops up on my computer and make me laugh once a year.
Right. So I could have done with less of him.
I thought it was interesting how he should have won the Mr. Olympia the year before, and it was a makeup call the year after because in the moment the judges are wowed by ronnie coleman and then in hindsight once the media reports come out saying oh this is a lifetime award that they're giving to ronnie coleman then they change their minds the next
year he was such a beast and i i i love the part of the documentary where they had all the old
bodybuilders talking about like the 90s bodybuilding circuit and they're like it was
fucking fierce like if you had to elbow a dude to get into the to your spot you would it's like
Thank you. bodybuilders talking about like the 90s bodybuilding circuit and they're like it was fucking fierce like if you had to elbow a dude to get into your spot you would it's like talking about the bad boy pistons they didn't show any of that footage either and also I would have loved to see that it was like a little elbow these massive human human beings who could kick the shit out of anyone like bumping each other slightly was fucking intense, bro.
Yeah, I like how he put a big emphasis on drinking coffee, vodka, and then just getting tanned before a show. Yes.
So it's like anyone at the Jersey Shore could be a bodybuilder if they put their mind to it. Kind of a problematic part of the movie was when Ronnie Coleman said that he took 30 milligrams of oxycodone.
No, four times of oxycodone a day which actually is probably prescribed because he has so many injuries and then had his two little girls like driving his car that was a wild scene like wait hold on you gotta take into account that a guy that size probably has tolerance built up to that but still it's not a great thing to be taking pills and then driving your kids around. He's still lifting.
His back is broken and he's still lifting. And he would do those leg presses that were...
That's how I fell in love with Ronnie Coleman to begin with was he would do the videos where he'd be like, Lightweight! Lightweight! Ain't nothing but a peanut! And then it would flash to him leg pressing 2,000 pounds. Isn pounds isn't that kind of crazy though that he broke his own back by being too strong and then kept lifting through it so he he is stronger than himself he's stronger than his own body the story about him breaking his back when he's doing like 800 pound squats and then says oh i felt something pop and then he said yeah and then i went uh i went home i showered i got ready for work and then i realized oh my back is broken uh-huh i'm shocked that as a law enforcement officer from texas he has not been asked to be the guy that escorts a college coach out to midfield yet because they got the dude in louisiana that walks the lsu head coach out there's There's a state trooper in Texas that's famous because he's seven foot one and like 320 pounds.
And he's always around college football programs. I need Ronnie Coleman escort.
He should be coach Doug's escort. Yes.
I mean, I love the guy. He's a legend.
He seems like the nicest guy in the world. One of the best competitors ever.
Also kind of a weird, vibe of the movie was like you said hank they kept on going to his like present day home life and his i don't know what it was about his wife but it was like she was like yeah we just run this house like we just run the house like he's a really good father it's like is there love here i don't it was very bizarre i think at point she was like, there are different household patterns that we have to enter when Ronnie's out of town. Right.
Like, what's going on here? It's like, okay, that seems, you're talking, by household patterns, you mean like kissing your kids goodnight. Yeah, like what is going on here? The whole, I just, it sucks because I thought the documentary was going to be so much better.
It really has potential. It just, it just fell totally flat.
Ronnie just seems like someone I want to be best friends with though yeah he's got such an awesome personality yes him breaking down in 98 like that
was a pure sports moment like i didn't really i still don't really understand uh like they were
explaining that he was coming in sixth and seventh and eighth and not doing well enough and and then
he drank and all of a sudden won like i don't understand the qualification they really explain
the qualifications of like what he did that made him so much better when he won versus before like
I'm going understand the qualifications. They didn't really explain the qualifications of, like,
what he did that made him so much better when he won versus before.
Like, was it just vodka?
I think it's muscle tone.
Yeah, all that stuff.
It's like tone, symmetry, and then the vein.
He had these muscles.
But basically, they didn't really explain any of that.
Like, it was a documentary that was made for bodybuilders, but for casual viewers, viewers, I didn't really learn anything about bodybuilding. Right.
It's a subjective art. So I think most people can look at two bodybuilders and be like, damn, that dude's jacked, and holy shit, that dude's swole.
So Ronnie Coleman, when he won in that first year, I think it was, what year was it? 98, I think. So when he turned to the side he had abs on his ribs like they were they're just muscles in places that you cannot the most fucked up artist in the history of the world has not designed a human body that looked like that yeah yeah it's I mean he's chiseled from from stone um yeah I guess they do a uh they like sashay around and they do a whole spin and
everything.
I don't know.
The, the, I agree with you, Hank, they could have given us a lot more backstory on like,
what does it take to be a bodybuilder?
What do they do?
Like, I wanted to see Ronnie's workouts every day.
You know what I mean?
Like all that stuff was just, we could make one in the viral videos.
Like I didn't even see any of those really like the stuff you see from him on YouTube that got him famous like weren't that that i thought that was gonna be a part of it yeah the everyone should go down a rabbit hole of ronnie coleman because his youtubes are fucking awesome when he's just beasting just insane weights he did the 800 pound squat twice he says that he thinks he could have beaten the record the the in his peak, he could have beaten the record that just got the deadlift, the thousand pound one that the mountain has. Yeah.
Jesus. Yeah.
Uh, one thing I always like to think about when I see bodybuilders walking around with their little Tupperwares filled with, you know, the chicken, the nine meals that they have to eat every day is just imagine them in the morning at their kitchen counter with these tiny pieces of chicken,
putting them specifically into every single Tupperware
and scrubbing out the insides of them.
That's very funny.
That was my other note,
speaking of what we were talking about earlier
with not finishing meals.
I'm pretty positive that Ronnie Coleman
eats a week worth of my food in one meal.
Yes, yes.
Like the clip of him with the chicken tenders on a plate
for like that was one meal.
I was like, I would not eat that many chicken tenders in a week. Yes.
That was an insane amount of food. Either way, he's a legend of the game.
I just really was disappointed. I don't know.
It just sucked. I want it to be so much better than it was.
Such an interesting topic. And you're right, Hank.
Give us the backstory of Mr. Olympia.
Give us how the judges do it. Give us everything.
Tell us the whole circuit and everything.
It just never happened.
I'm going to put my hand.
They got like five guys to be in the documentary.
Yeah.
That was it.
Can I admit something?
And the guy that was in the Bo Jackson jersey, like what you were saying,
I didn't realize he was a bodybuilder until he said that I was a bodybuilder.
I actually wouldn't.
Now that we're talking about it,
I wouldn't have been shocked if they started this documentary and ran out of money.
And they just said, let's focus on your home your home life yeah does it cost us anything yeah i it actually now i'm thinking about it kind of gives that vibe yeah um i didn't see i didn't watch the last like 15 minutes i i uh i missed out on the did they get to steroids at all no that's weird so that i was thinking that the entire time it's like we're doing're doing an entire documentary about bodybuilding, and we're not going to mention steroids whatsoever. Yeah.
I don't know. I think Ronnie Coleman was clean.
You think he was? Yeah, just all natural? Yeah. Bro, you've got to believe in something.
Ronnie Coleman's a hero. All right, we're going to do Dude Perfect next week.
Hank. I might protest.
What?
You're not going to watch Corey, Cody, Cody,
Toby, Brody,
and Stan?
I'm so excited
to break down
their personalities
and how they interact
with each other.
For sure.
We are going to get
to the bottom
of everything.
Yes.
It is going to be
a deep dive
into their brains.
Come on, Hank.
First try.
All right.
