WEBVTT - Throwback: Mark Cuban Talks Tiger King

0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Thank you again for for being on the hay Pell podcast.

0:00:04.840 --> 0:00:06.640
<v Speaker 1>So you bought the MAVs, as we were just talking

0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:09.640
<v Speaker 1>about in in two thousand and you're a businessman at

0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:11.440
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, and so I know that

0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:13.760
<v Speaker 1>you were a huge MAVs fan. Um, but if it

0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:16.279
<v Speaker 1>didn't make business sense, I don't think. My gut tells

0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:18.800
<v Speaker 1>me it wouldn't have. You still wouldn't have bought the team. No,

0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I would have bought the team anyways. It made no

0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:25.320
<v Speaker 1>business sense. Literally, I wanted it so bad. Ross Pro

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:29.120
<v Speaker 1>took me on a helicopter ride and I'm terrified heights. Literally,

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 1>I thought I was gonna fall out of that damn helicopter.

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I was terrified, and Um he was like talking price

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>and negotiated, and I wanted to get down out of

0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:40.800
<v Speaker 1>that helicopter so fast and so bad. I'm like whatever.

0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, everybody thought I was a knucklehead when I

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.760
<v Speaker 1>paid two five million for it. I didn't even care.

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:51.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I remember being on the bus with Don

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Nelson and Del Harris, and this is when we had

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 1>just sold um Broadcast dot Com and the internet stock

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 1>market was still bond first, and we had Yahoo stock

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 1>and the stock went up like a hundred bucks, and

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>they're like, it went up a hundred bucks. I'm like, yeah,

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>I just paid for the MAVs. You know, it's just

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.319
<v Speaker 1>like one day movement. I was like, yeah, had nothing

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>to do with real business. I just I just thought

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 1>of you know, I'm a I'm a bothers life type

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 1>guy and say it was just the best thing ever.

0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 1>Well that makes that makes me happy because he's a

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.960
<v Speaker 1>true fan, but he is he is a businessman at

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:24.200
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day. And you happen to buy

0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:26.399
<v Speaker 1>the MAVs low and then you were able to if

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 1>you wanted to today you're able to then sell high.

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.679
<v Speaker 1>And so my question for you is if you were

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:35.039
<v Speaker 1>able to buy low and sell high on an actor,

0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:39.679
<v Speaker 1>if actors were stocks, right, what is an actor or who?

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, whoever you want, like we we

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 1>don't care who you think would be a great actor

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 1>if you were able to buy their stock now and

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>then let's say, then sell high on them. I think

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Ben Affleck. I'm a Ben Affleck fan. You know, he's

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>been getting shipped on and he's been sucking things up,

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 1>and you know, and when when they're down on their

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>luck like that, that's when you want to buy, you know,

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 1>and he'll turn it around. That's when people are dangerous sometimes. Yeah,

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's great because, like, I mean, wow,

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.520
<v Speaker 1>what an answer, because right now, Ben Affleck, if you

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.760
<v Speaker 1>were stock, you'd be able to buy Low Low. Yeah. Real,

0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking on the stock market, real, real, real Low. Um.

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you have any any any other actors or an

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.080
<v Speaker 1>actress in mind? Or you just putting all your eggs

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.639
<v Speaker 1>in in ben Affleck, which I like, Yeah, I mean

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I want to diversified portfolio for real.

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's just like, Okay, when was the last

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.840
