Speaker 1: I think there was something wrong with Jared's phone. He
Speaker 1: didn't mean it, all right, What were you about to
Speaker 1: say about the Mike Bibby and all that? Sorry to
Speaker 1: cut you off. What I was saying that the agent,
Speaker 1: he's in the Last Dance, He's Jordan's agent. Falk. He
Speaker 1: wrapped Bibby, who went number two, and he apparently told
Speaker 1: the Clippers organization if that they didn't take his client
Speaker 1: number one, he would never deal with them ever again.
Speaker 1: And they did. You know, I just I can't, I
Speaker 1: can't da. We've got a show to do, and we've
Speaker 1: got a show to do. We've got to do this.
Speaker 1: Let's move on, all right. Well, so everybody's already you know,
Speaker 1: probably seen who's going to be the guest on here,
Speaker 1: So I wanted to talk to you before we intro
Speaker 1: him and bring him on. Is uh is just kind
Speaker 1: of in the ownership field, you know. And a cool
Speaker 1: question that I like to ask that I did not
Speaker 1: prep you on um is if you could go back
Speaker 1: in time, knowing what you know now and own anything,
Speaker 1: so you're the inventor, right you created it? There's nowhere
Speaker 1: really I mean, you would go to Facebook just instantly
Speaker 1: like that. You would be Mark Zuckerberg. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: Facebook isn't going anywhere. They own Instagram, they own WhatsApp,
Speaker 1: they own everything. But you wouldn't go like airplanes. No,
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I'd love to do you invented an airplane.
Speaker 1: I would the person that invented the airplane. Well you
Speaker 1: just said Facebook, but well I'm trying to maximize money
Speaker 1: right now or Amazon for that mat Yeah, I see.
Speaker 1: You could have gone Can you imagine to unfortunately get
Speaker 1: divorced and still be the richest man in the world,
Speaker 1: and on top of it, his wife is now one
Speaker 1: of the richest people. His ex wife is one of
Speaker 1: the richest people in the world. It would have been
Speaker 1: funny if you would have said, if I could have
Speaker 1: gone back and anybody you would have been his wife,
Speaker 1: It would have been a great answer. Okay, so you go,
Speaker 1: you go Facebook, what would you do? And what about?
Speaker 1: What about one more to that? What about if you
Speaker 1: had to own a sports franchise that is you know
Speaker 1: where I'm gonna go, non filly included, Like I want
Speaker 1: to know, just give me in, you know, I want
Speaker 1: something interesting that you're your heart isn't attached to non
Speaker 1: philly included, and non filly included some some sports. God
Speaker 1: just came down and said New York Yankees. You would Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a great choice. Yeah, that'd be cool. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: would be could be really cool. Yeah, yeah, I agree, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the listeners are like you. You knuckleheads stopped talking.
Speaker 1: I want to hear. I want to hear from us,
Speaker 1: They want to hear from our guests. You know what,
Speaker 1: I will say that this one is a very very
Speaker 1: special one to me. So without further ado, we will
Speaker 1: will Kyle he ready, Oh oh wow, we're good to go,
Speaker 1: all right. Well, from sitting upper deck with my mom
Speaker 1: at games to then becoming a ball boy for the
Speaker 1: organization from sixth grade to tenth grade, what a time
Speaker 1: that was for me, Dave, What a time to be alive,
Speaker 1: it really was. Then watching this man by the team
Speaker 1: while I was in tenth grade, our next guest single
Speaker 1: handedly lifted the morale, changed the energy, and put fans
Speaker 1: back in the seats in Dallas, and I had a
Speaker 1: front row seat for it all from the beginning. We
Speaker 1: haven't spoken in probably fifteen years. That's a long time, Dave.
Speaker 1: I mean he didn't want to talk to you. I
Speaker 1: understand that, completely, understand it. Well, would you would you so?
Speaker 1: But then you would take my call after the fifties
Speaker 1: fifteen years? Absolutely, I mean he did, so you have to, alright.
Speaker 1: So we haven't talked in like fifteen years or so, Okay,
Speaker 1: but I emailed my pal, and he emailed me right
Speaker 1: away and said he was in on doing the show.
Speaker 1: And that is the kind of guy he is. Please
Speaker 1: welcome to the Hey Pal podcast, Mark Cuban, Mark, how
Speaker 1: you doing it? What's yeah? My pleasure man? Just way
Speaker 1: to make me feel old? Tenth grade? My well, listen.
Speaker 1: I I the first person I did call it was
Speaker 1: my mom and I said, Mark emailed me back and
Speaker 1: he and he's coming on. And she couldn't have been happier.
Speaker 1: So I said, Hi, I will, I will, I will
Speaker 1: for sure. So before we get started into it, I
Speaker 1: just want to know it's it's it'll be like a
Speaker 1: two minute story tenth grade Mark by the team, right,
Speaker 1: Mark two thousand? Yeah? Yeah. So and I was a
Speaker 1: ball boy and so then the next year you were
Speaker 1: a ball boy for the Mavericks. Stop it. I love it.
Speaker 1: I love it. And so the next year was the
Speaker 1: first year that we had made the playoffs, and like forever,
Speaker 1: and I being you know, the ball boy was embedded
Speaker 1: with you know, the players and some of the and
Speaker 1: some of the guys like Chris Arnold who has been
Speaker 1: there forever. Chris said, yeah, and he's still there. And
Speaker 1: Chris said, Jay you, and you and Scott just hop
Speaker 1: on the plane. I'll take you down to San Antonio
Speaker 1: for the series. And I was like, what, Like, I'm
Speaker 1: like sixteen seventeen years old. I'm like this is the
Speaker 1: crazy okay, Like I'm down because everybody knew I was
Speaker 1: just I knew everything about the MAVs, biggest fan ever.
Speaker 1: And they were like, hop on the plane. So we had.
Speaker 1: We get on the plane. We go to sant An
Speaker 1: and Chris lets us come down towards the court, gets
Speaker 1: us down there somehow, and Cuban sees me and we
Speaker 1: say hi. We say hi for a second, He's like,
Speaker 1: what are you doing here? You know a little familiarity
Speaker 1: from ball Boy and stuff. And I said, oh, we
Speaker 1: we just hopped on with Chris Arnold. I don't even
Speaker 1: know how we're gonna get back. Like I don't even
Speaker 1: know how we're gonna get back to Dallas, Like I
Speaker 1: just hopped on. We haven't even told our parents. And
Speaker 1: and Mark literally looks at me and says, Jared, come
Speaker 1: find me after the game if you don't know where
Speaker 1: where you're going or where you're staying, and I'll make
Speaker 1: sure that you have a place to stay. Awesome, And
Speaker 1: I was like what and he was like, yeah, Like,
Speaker 1: we have a couple of busses that are going back,
Speaker 1: but if we missed those, you know, it's all good.
Speaker 1: So the game happens. We play the Spurs, which you
Speaker 1: know was a big bit. That was a big deal
Speaker 1: for us. We had just beaten Utah in the first
Speaker 1: round and made that incredible comeback, and we find Cuban afterwards,
Speaker 1: by the way, to Mark's credit, like this is the
Speaker 1: kind of human we are talking to right now. I'm
Speaker 1: in tenth grade. He doesn't owe me anything. And he
Speaker 1: comes back out onto the court. It was like, you know,
Speaker 1: forty five minutes after and finds me and it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, Jay, are you good? And I'm like and
Speaker 1: and I'm like what can we do? And he's like, look,
Speaker 1: the busses are gone, pulls out a hundred dollar bill
Speaker 1: and says, Jared, I want you to go find a
Speaker 1: hotel and I want and I'm gonna pay for it.
Speaker 1: And me and my friend Scott were like, first of all,
Speaker 1: this is a joke. Are you kidding me? I can't
Speaker 1: believe Cubans doing this for us. Secondly, we were just
Speaker 1: so thankful that he you know, we had like a
Speaker 1: because Chris Arnold wasn't doing that. Sorry Chris to call
Speaker 1: you out, but like it was all Mark. And so
Speaker 1: Mark even said, if there isn't a place to stay
Speaker 1: or you can't find, this is the hotel we're at.
Speaker 1: And the beautiful part, you know, to end this story
Speaker 1: is that Scott and I went and looked at four
Speaker 1: or five hotels. They were all sold out because this
Speaker 1: was you know, a huge series and the river Walk
Speaker 1: and that's kind of where it was. And so we said,
Speaker 1: all right, like we feel all this pressure, but let's
Speaker 1: just go back to the Let's go back to where
Speaker 1: Cuban said, they're all staying. We go, we say, we
Speaker 1: tell them this ridiculous story, which the front desk is like,
Speaker 1: who are these knuckleheads? And they, to their credit, they
Speaker 1: actually we just said, please believe us. Call Mark. They
Speaker 1: call Mark. Mark says, set them up in a room,
Speaker 1: and we got to stay. And then we returned to
Speaker 1: Dallas the next day. And and I don't know if
Speaker 1: you remember any of that, but tell us obviously great story.
Speaker 1: And I think that's probably the last time Mark ever
Speaker 1: wanted to talk to you up until today. It's I
Speaker 1: was probably worried about being accused of child abuse or something.
Speaker 1: Oh more with Mark Cuban after the break, Thank you
Speaker 1: again for for being on on the Hey Pell podcast.
Speaker 1: So you bought the MAVs, as we were just talking
Speaker 1: about in in two thousand and you are a businessman
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, and so I know
Speaker 1: that you're a huge MAVs fan. Um, but if it
Speaker 1: didn't make business sense, I don't think my my gut
Speaker 1: tells me it wouldn't have. You still wouldn't have bought
Speaker 1: the team. I would have bought the team anyways. It
Speaker 1: made no business sense. Literally, I wanted it so bad.
Speaker 1: Ross Pro took me on a helicopter ride and I'm
Speaker 1: terrified heights. Literally, I thought I was gonna fall out
Speaker 1: of that damn helicopter. I was terrified, and um he
Speaker 1: was like talking price and negotiated, and I wanted to
Speaker 1: get down out of that helicopter so fast and so bad.
Speaker 1: I'm like whatever. You know, everybody thought I was a
Speaker 1: knucklehead when I paid two five million for it. I
Speaker 1: didn't even care. I mean, I remember being on the
Speaker 1: bus with Don Nelson and Del Harris and this is
Speaker 1: when we had just sold um broadcast dot Com and
Speaker 1: the internet stock market was still bonkers, and we had
Speaker 1: Yahoo stock and the stock went up like a hundred
Speaker 1: bucks and they're like, it went up a hundred bucks.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I just paid for the MAVs, you know.
Speaker 1: So it's just like one I had nothing to do
Speaker 1: with real business. I just I just thought of you know,
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a ball ass life type guy, and
Speaker 1: so it was just the best thing ever. Well that
Speaker 1: makes that makes me happy because he's a true fan,
Speaker 1: but he is he is a businessman at the end
Speaker 1: of the day. And you happen to buy the MAVs
Speaker 1: low and then you were able to if you wanted
Speaker 1: to today you're able to then sell high. And so
Speaker 1: my question for you is if you were able to
Speaker 1: buy low and sell high on an actor, if actors
Speaker 1: were stocks, right, what is an actor or who? And
Speaker 1: by the way, whoever you want, like we we don't
Speaker 1: care who you think would be a great actor. If
Speaker 1: you were able to buy their stock now and then
Speaker 1: let's say, then sell high on them. I think Ben Affleck.
Speaker 1: I'm a Ben Affleck fan. It's a good one. I've
Speaker 1: been getting shipped on and he's been sucking things up,
Speaker 1: and you know, and when when they're down on their
Speaker 1: luck like that, that's when you want to buy, you know,
Speaker 1: and he'll turn it around. That's when people are dangerous sometimes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think it's great because, like, I mean, wow,
Speaker 1: what an answer, because right now, Ben Affleck, if you
Speaker 1: were stock, you'd be able to buy low. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm stock market real, real, real, Um, do you have
Speaker 1: any any any other actors or an actress in mind?
Speaker 1: Are you just putting all your eggs in in Ben Affleck?
Speaker 1: Which I like, Yeah, I mean I don't think I
Speaker 1: want to diversified portfolio for real. I mean it's just like, Okay,
Speaker 1: when was the last time even you know, I mean
Speaker 1: other than well, you know, Nicholas Cage is gonna be
Speaker 1: playing um Joe Exotic, yes, you know, and Nicolas Cage
Speaker 1: he's looking up at Ben Affleck on his luck. That's
Speaker 1: for sure. This is a big, big moment for Nicolas Cage. Yes,
Speaker 1: he it is, man. And you know, I just wanna
Speaker 1: know who's gonna play Carol and um the dude with
Speaker 1: the missing leg. Oh my god, there's just something. It's
Speaker 1: the most incredible story. It's just the most amazing story. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's funny because Kyle and I, um, we just did
Speaker 1: a movie in New Orleans called Cutthroat City, and uh
Speaker 1: we were talking to Nick Cage's manager, remember, and he
Speaker 1: was gonna come on board. And then we we huddled
Speaker 1: up and we were like, I don't know if right
Speaker 1: now is to hire Nick. Yeah, I've seen Nicholas out
Speaker 1: a few times. Now, maybe not, you know, all right now,
Speaker 1: Mark on Shark Tank, there's five sharks that are in
Speaker 1: the tank at any one time, right, So similar to
Speaker 1: a basketball team with if you had to take four
Speaker 1: other Sharks over the years and some of the reserve
Speaker 1: Sharks that have been on the show, and you had
Speaker 1: to play a basketball team, you had to you had
Speaker 1: to create a team. Who would be your point guard,
Speaker 1: your forwards, your center, and who would be your six
Speaker 1: man off the bench? Ben Affleck, Nicholas Cage. So they're awful.
Speaker 1: I mean there's not I mean, Damon John I invited
Speaker 1: him to a finals game and Ma's finals game and
Speaker 1: he showed up at halftime. I mean, none of them
Speaker 1: are like athletes at all. So now there's just no
Speaker 1: chance is there one that could be like a floor general?
Speaker 1: Like running the court, like I've got a ten year
Speaker 1: old son, and if it was him and five sharks,
Speaker 1: I'm taking him versus five sharks. I'm taking him over
Speaker 1: any five. So the sharks, you're completely non athletic, Dave,
Speaker 1: I think we have found our answer. There is gonna
Speaker 1: be it is it is Mark Cuban verse whoever is
Speaker 1: coming down with the ball on the other end of
Speaker 1: the court. I'm telling you what, you know, what if
Speaker 1: it's like them walking and chewing gum at the same time,
Speaker 1: I'm taking the under I love it. I love it. Um.
Speaker 1: So Cuban two thousand and six was one of the
Speaker 1: worst years for me all all around. I know you're
Speaker 1: already already. Well, I'll tell you why it was, and
Speaker 1: then you can you can let me know. But I
Speaker 1: feel like there was robbery going around everywhere. Leo DiCaprio
Speaker 1: was my favorite actor, and he got nominated for Blood
Speaker 1: Diamond and got robbed of the Oscar. I mean, I
Speaker 1: couldn't It's great movie, right, I couldn't believe it. Um
Speaker 1: And then obviously, being an obsessive MAVs fan, we played
Speaker 1: the heat and uh, in my opinion, you know, just
Speaker 1: my opinion. We got robbed of of a title. That's
Speaker 1: a fact. Fact. It's a fact that we got robbed
Speaker 1: to the still makes me sick to my stomach. Well,
Speaker 1: I won't, I won't continue on that end then, but
Speaker 1: I I mean me too, honestly, you have you have
Speaker 1: a maverick for life here in MFL, you know, And
Speaker 1: and it made it made me sick too. But I
Speaker 1: started thinking of of the parallels of like Dirk Novitsky
Speaker 1: and Leo, Like that's what I got to and I
Speaker 1: wanted to know if if you could answer this question,
Speaker 1: you know and not be biased. Um, but who do
Speaker 1: you think had more pleasure when they finally won the
Speaker 1: big one. You've got Dirk who who went to numerous
Speaker 1: you know, Western Conference finals. He was always by the way,
Speaker 1: he always had us in the playoffs. He always put
Speaker 1: us in a position to win. You have over a
Speaker 1: span of I think it was thirteen years before he
Speaker 1: actually won it. And then you had Leo who, when
Speaker 1: he became a you know, went from a boy to
Speaker 1: a man. You know, it was about thirteen to fifteen
Speaker 1: years where he was getting nominated once every two to
Speaker 1: three years and not winning it. And so I was
Speaker 1: wondering if if looking from the outside in, when they
Speaker 1: finally lifted that trophy, was it Leo that had more
Speaker 1: gratification or Dirk. I'm thinking Dirk because has a finite
Speaker 1: number of years. You can't play forever. Leo is going
Speaker 1: to be old and gray and you know, the next
Speaker 1: Robert to Hero, right, and so he's gonna be able
Speaker 1: to do it forever. And you know, Dirk's married, Leo's single.
Speaker 1: So even when you lose, I think it's all the
Speaker 1: misery love. You know, it's so by the way, it's
Speaker 1: it's so true, very very true. Trust me. Yeah, I know, yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't think about that. With the with the ticking
Speaker 1: with the ticking clock, that's uh, that's actually yeah, it's
Speaker 1: really smart now is it is? A team owner? I
Speaker 1: kind of want to know what what was that feeling
Speaker 1: like when you guys finally won that championship, First as
Speaker 1: a fan and then from a business perspective, but as
Speaker 1: a fan, what was that moment like for you? You You know,
Speaker 1: being there, it was more stressful least than anything else,
Speaker 1: because you know, you're going and going and going and
Speaker 1: and like Jay said, we had lost it thousand six
Speaker 1: and we have been up to Oh, so I never
Speaker 1: let myself think we were gonna win this, and so
Speaker 1: I'll never forget um. There was about thirty seconds left
Speaker 1: and we went up by twelve, I think, and I
Speaker 1: just realized there ain't coming back. There's no twelve point plays, right,
Speaker 1: they ain't coming back, and so I just let out
Speaker 1: the biggest scream ever. I mean, it's just all stress release.
Speaker 1: And then I remember running around the court looking for
Speaker 1: people to hug and everything. You know, this is fun,
Speaker 1: but you know it just it wasn't nearly as good
Speaker 1: as as a stress release. Yeah. And then from a
Speaker 1: business perspective, how how how long did you allow yourself
Speaker 1: to enjoy that moment before you started thinking from a
Speaker 1: business side? Oh man, I was drunk for days. I
Speaker 1: didn't think at all. There was no think of business
Speaker 1: at Oh. I mean I used to. I took the
Speaker 1: trophy from bar to bar to bar to bar just
Speaker 1: to hang out with people. Yeah, it was. It was
Speaker 1: a blast. I absolutely love you cubs, because it is
Speaker 1: it is true. I think, you know, again just my opinion,
Speaker 1: but Mark, I think the reason that you are so
Speaker 1: good at your job and I and again I've gotten
Speaker 1: to see it since I was a kid. You were
Speaker 1: a ball boy for the Mavericks. Tabulous song is because
Speaker 1: it is because you have not lost you. You have
Speaker 1: not lost the fan in you. And and a lot
Speaker 1: of people out here say that about me. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm producing movies right now with you know, big time actors,
Speaker 1: and I'm able to step outside of that and still
Speaker 1: be a fan and then also put on my business
Speaker 1: at And I think that's what you do such a
Speaker 1: great job as you know you can you know how
Speaker 1: to become the fan, and then you know how to
Speaker 1: become you know, the But there's one and the same.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know your business right, you know what works,
Speaker 1: and you know the film business is a hard, hard business, right,
Speaker 1: and so there's always there's always a lot of risk.
Speaker 1: And so you know, if you're not a fan first,
Speaker 1: you're not going to be authentic. And that's the key man,
Speaker 1: because you know, loving the game and and just loving
Speaker 1: the MAVs, that just lets me beat myself. And I
Speaker 1: know business right, It's like Dirk at the free throw line,
Speaker 1: he knows that's going in. I know what I'm doing
Speaker 1: business why, that's the easy part. But just enjoying it
Speaker 1: that that's the part I love, Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1: So in two thousand and eleven, uh, we'll talk about
Speaker 1: good years. We uh we we won the championship. And
Speaker 1: so what we want to know is if we had
Speaker 1: to put it in movie terms, we obviously know that
Speaker 1: the best actor this is now the Oscars for the
Speaker 1: two thousand eleven Championship. Okay, Mark, we know that the
Speaker 1: best actor is going to Dark Navitski. The next question
Speaker 1: is gonna be awesome because this is what me and
Speaker 1: my friends all fight about all the time, is who
Speaker 1: is Mark Cuban giving Best Supporting Actor to Jason Terry? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Jason Terry. Jason was getting buckets close out game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he close out game. He had twenty some whatever and
Speaker 1: he was he was. There were games when Dirk wasn't on,
Speaker 1: like you know, and Jason was just out of his mind.
Speaker 1: He had had step back three over Lebron, you know,
Speaker 1: to give us to really extend the lead, and it
Speaker 1: was like nothing to him with water and so yeah, Jet,
Speaker 1: would you give it to Jet if it's two thousand
Speaker 1: eleven playoffs as a whole best best Supporting Yeah, probably
Speaker 1: still Jet and then probably getting votes and upsetting people
Speaker 1: would be Tyson and Jay Kidd because they both had
Speaker 1: killer killer runs during the I didn't even make you see,
Speaker 1: my friends are not gonna be able to make fun
Speaker 1: of me, I said, a huge, a huge series. No.
Speaker 1: He And by the way, when he came in, he changed,
Speaker 1: he changed the complexion of everything. I mean he did,
Speaker 1: and I and I totally understand that, and I know
Speaker 1: that I actually said Mark, I said, best supporting will
Speaker 1: go to j J. Brea because I think in the
Speaker 1: second round when when we you know, upset obviously the
Speaker 1: Lakers and change the way that. I mean, I've never
Speaker 1: seen anything like that, a team going for three pet

Speaker 1: run to a question. I mean, we beat the two
Speaker 1: time defending chance, We beat a team that ended up
Speaker 1: having three m vps on it in Oklahoma City. We
