00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:15.800
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh
4
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:19.839
with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Dan, O'Malley along with
5
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:24.280
Trey Trendholm and special guest today inside the Treehouse, our
6
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:25.519
friend Rebecca Black.
7
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:30.399
Yeah, hey for all of us, Yes, golf.
8
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:37.560
Clap tray, No offense, but thank you much thunderous applause.
9
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:39.159
Where's your royal wave there, Rebecca.
10
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:46.600
Guys Trey, I love you and no offense meant when
11
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:48.359
I say this, but you look a little peaked.
12
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:52.840
Uh you know, I'll simply say this if I should
13
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:56.079
all of a sudden just disappear. That's why I was
14
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:58.119
running a little bit late this morning. I'm having some
15
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:05.760
tummy issues. So oh no. If if nature's calling, I
16
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:06.719
can't take a message.
17
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:13.000
So uh, I mean you hold on. I had a
18
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:15.159
wild idea. I don't even know why I'm about to
19
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:19.840
throw this out here, but it is a mobile podcast studio.
20
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:23.400
You could just in theory set up in the bathroom.
21
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:27.840
Yeah no, it's not something anyone needs to hear.
22
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:30.040
It already kind of looks like you are with your
23
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:30.719
new green.
24
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:36.079
Screen I like the new background you got, And you
25
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.239
know what if if you have an on air light
26
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:39.920
in your bathroom, more power to you.
27
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.159
Honestly, that's the appropriate place to put it.
28
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:46.599
Really is.
29
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:52.159
I mean, it's great acoustics, not gonna it's not just
30
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:54.840
gonna be the applause that's thunderous in that studio.
31
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:57.920
Yeah, I'm weirdly afraid to make Trey laugh.
32
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:02.719
I'm I'm actively hoping that I make him laugh so
33
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:06.120
hard he squirts right here. Oh no, this is also
34
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:10.960
a good reason why we do this show, remotely factscause
35
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.199
for so many years being in the same room, you
36
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.439
get you get a little too familiar with each other,
37
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:16.719
you know.
38
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:20.080
Oh I bet, And with all you dudes, it's way
39
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:21.120
worse than with chicks.
40
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.840
Hold on to that thought for a brief moment. We're
41
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:28.120
going to talk about the big news of the day,
42
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.319
and that is Mark Cuban saying he regrets selling the
43
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.159
Mavericks to the Adamson family. But before we get there,
44
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:38.800
we need to have this discussion. Rebecca, when you worked
45
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:42.840
with Jody Dean on K Love, do you know do
46
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.560
you know his intimate smells the way we know like
47
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:47.840
Trey and I know each other's intimate smells.
48
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:48.840
Of being in a radio studio for.
49
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:51.599
Two No, no, I do not. I do not at all.
50
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:52.719
We are not that close.
51
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:55.319
I mean we were close, but not that close.
52
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.479
Close enough to work together, have a good working relationship,
53
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.400
but not so close that he would lie down on
54
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.280
the floor, spread his legs and break wind.
55
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.639
Correct, I honestly don't want that.
56
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:08.159
I would love to have seen that from Jody Dean.
57
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:10.439
I think other people would have as well.
58
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:14.000
Not only not only see it, but to hear Jody
59
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:15.319
pontificate about it.
60
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.039
Oh yeah, because you know he's going to talk about
61
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.240
you know, he's going to play by play it, of course.
62
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:24.120
But yeah, thankfully he had manners and did not do
63
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:27.159
those things. I don't want a relationship with someone like that,
64
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:28.199
if I'm being honest.
65
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:36.080
Speaking of that, we'll be talking about a new technological
66
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:39.120
advancement in underwear coming up on today's show as well.
67
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:40.360
That's a little tease for all of it.
68
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.199
Whatever Jody Dean smells like, which somehow I feel like
69
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.360
it's mesquite and.
70
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:50.400
Bougie.
71
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:55.240
I mean, yeah, there's definitely a barbecue layer in there.
72
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:03.120
Sorry, Okay, Mark Cuban. Mark Cuban is making headlines not
73
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.000
brand new for Mark Cuban to make headlines, but what
74
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:09.080
he had to say on the Intersections podcast, which is
75
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:13.599
a content partner of WFAA, and the hosts of the
76
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.519
show are former Dallas mayor and our old buddy Tom
77
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:20.839
Leppard and a commercial real estate guy named Kyle Well.
78
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:22.600
Mark Cuban jumped on their show and they had a
79
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:25.079
long conversation. And I only paid attention to this clip
80
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:26.720
because this is the part I cared about.
81
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:31.759
Praise because it's a big emotional commitment, right. You hear
82
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.240
the passion and everything. Now, imagine going up and down
83
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:35.319
like that every single game.
84
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:38.079
That's hard. Yep too.
85
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:42.040
My kids they were coming of the age where they
86
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:44.040
would be of the mindset maybe they want to work
87
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.079
at the MAVs, and I didn't want that for them.
88
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.600
You know, it can be abusive a lot.
89
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:49.800
What do you mean by that?
90
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:50.360
Meaning?
91
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:52.480
You know, if fans don't like what you're doing or
92
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.439
the team's not doing well, you're the worst human being
93
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:56.360
on the planet.
94
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:57.000
And then they treat you that way.
95
00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:57.800
Do you have any regret?
96
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:02.079
I don't regret selling. I regret who I sold too. Yeah,
97
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.240
I made a lot of mistakes in the process, and
98
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:05.000
I'll leave it at that.
99
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:09.800
Yeahosa, So.
100
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.560
I have multiple thoughts on that one, but one of
101
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:17.160
the first ones where he talks about how abusive it is.
102
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.920
I also I don't think human is looking back at
103
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.480
the fact that he opened himself a lot to that
104
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:28.199
because remember in the beginning days, he still answered all
105
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:33.800
his email He made himself available to the public in
106
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:37.920
a way that most owners don't. And I think that
107
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:40.560
that made fans feel like they knew him and they
108
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:44.319
had carte blanche to say, you know, ugly things.
109
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:45.079
Yeah.
110
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.160
I mean, but we live in that world anyway where
111
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:50.720
already people are like want to blow you up for anything, anytime,
112
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:53.639
anywhere on social media, to your face whatever.
113
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.439
But go back twenty years ago, like that, it was.
114
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:00.680
This was really before Facebook. It was before our Facebook
115
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.720
was in its infancy. You did not have the vast
116
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:07.120
social media presence that you do now. You just had,
117
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:12.199
you know, his email address. And like I said, and
118
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:14.600
he made a point of telling you, he telling everybody
119
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.000
he responded to all his emails. He did not varm
120
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:17.839
it out right.
121
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:19.399
Yeah, and he was honest about it.
122
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:21.240
Because I remember one of the first times that we
123
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:23.360
had him on the show, on the radio show back
124
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.120
in like the early two thousands. It was in that
125
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.040
era where he said he's like, yeah, here's my email
126
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.720
address and blah blah blah, and then we're looking around
127
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.800
trying to find, you know, his private email address just
128
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:36.639
to say, hey, we'd love to have you on the show,
129
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:41.360
and there wasn't one. It was legitimately just it was
130
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:44.000
like market mark Cuban dot com. Whatever the email address was,
131
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.399
that was his only one. So it wasn't a fake out.
132
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:50.319
There wasn't some if there was an actual secret email,
133
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:51.360
no one had it and whatever.
134
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:53.879
But to get him on the show, that's the email
135
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.720
that we use. So when you open a door like that,
136
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:01.319
people come running. Yeah, and they and I get it.
137
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:03.800
And I would imagine that would be a regret he
138
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:05.680
might have had and been like, you know what, maybe
139
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:07.920
maybe I made myself a little too accessible.
140
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:10.040
I mean, but I don't fault him for wanting to
141
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:11.360
bow out of that at all.
142
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:17.600
No, definitely not because I mean as a former math fan,
143
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:24.040
uh same watching me, yeah, watching him for years as
144
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.279
he's saying there in the clip, live and die by
145
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:31.639
every single game, it makes sense at his age even
146
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.000
maybe you should have done it. Sooner to be like,
147
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:35.759
you know what, maybe I should step back a little
148
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.519
bit because he might have a heart attack courtside.
149
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:43.279
Well, or he could he could have certainly stepped back
150
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:47.759
and not sold the team. Wait, most most owners aren't
151
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:49.160
at every game.
152
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:53.279
True, but I thought that the whole deal here when
153
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.639
he did make the agreement with these new owners was
154
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:57.120
that nothing for him.
155
00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:58.439
Was supposed to change.
156
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:02.120
He was supposed to contain you to have X amount
157
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:03.480
of say and all that kind of stuff.
158
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:05.639
So I'm like, did they not sign any kind of.
159
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:10.160
Legalities regarding Mark Cuban Stilling having as much involvement?
160
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:13.800
And I think that goes to his when he says,
161
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.279
you know, he regrets who he sold it to. Yes, Wi,
162
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.480
everyone is going, oh, it's political. He knew who the
163
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.879
addisons were, he knew who the demands were like that,
164
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:24.319
there's no big shocker there. But I think he I
165
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:26.279
think in the NBA it's called like you're the governor
166
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:31.040
of the organization, which means you are basically as far
167
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:34.639
as you have the final say, like you are the
168
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.320
controlling person, right, And I think he thought, you know
169
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:40.559
are he had structured a deal where he was going
170
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:43.919
to maintain that status, even though not having the majority
171
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:47.600
of the team, right, And maybe you know that's how
172
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:50.799
they represented it. And you know, I can't imagine someone
173
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.799
of his intellect and his business acumen he didn't put
174
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:59.120
it all in writing. But same, yoh, maybe that's.
175
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:01.799
The details I want him to scoop on. I want
176
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:04.320
to see the paperwork. I want to see the contract.
177
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:07.039
I want to see the final bill of sale. What
178
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:10.200
is the actual wording that was put in there that
179
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:14.159
somehow gave these people a loophole to not consult Mark
180
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:15.759
Cuban on things.
181
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.080
Yeah, I think it's an interesting thing because we have
182
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:24.000
all dealt with contracts in our professional lives via radio
183
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:27.720
and Trey and I a little bit tray, mostly with
184
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:30.559
real estate contracts, all that kind of stuff. So all
185
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:34.159
it takes is one time to get burned. And when
186
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:37.279
you get burned in that contract, you learn, you learn
187
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:40.360
that lesson so you don't get burned again. Typically it's
188
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:45.759
something along the lines of this is just our boilerplate contract.
189
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:49.879
Just go ahead and sign that, but between you and me,
190
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:53.240
handshake deal. You're still gonna have say in the team,
191
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:56.720
You're gonna have control. You get burned by that one
192
00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:59.840
time and then you know, for the rest of your
193
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:04.240
life or in contract terms, in perpetuity, you will make
194
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:07.840
sure everything is in writing from there, you know to it.
195
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:10.799
But we're we're not talking about us, We're not talking
196
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:15.639
about Joe Schmo. We're talking about billionaires. You have people
197
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:19.039
for this law firms dedicated it. Ye.
198
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.399
And that's why it's so shocking, because it sounds like
199
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.720
one of those situations where you get taken advantage of
200
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:29.480
and someone says, no, no, no, Mark, You're still gonna
201
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:31.679
have lots, You're still gonna have final say, and then
202
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.639
in writing he doesn't. So it sounds absurd to think
203
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:37.799
that he may have fallen for that, and not even
204
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:39.799
just him. Like you said, Trey, the man's gonna have
205
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.080
an entire law firm going over you know that sale.
206
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:46.519
I'm with Rebecca. I want to see the contract to
207
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:49.679
see what was in there and what he was surprised about,
208
00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:52.360
because I think at the end of the day, I
209
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:55.279
think it was a negotiating point or a point of
210
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:57.840
negotiation and he just acquiesced.
211
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.840
Well. So here I remember when this whole deal came out.
212
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:04.200
There there's a guy. His name is David Sampson. He
213
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:09.240
used to be the president of the Marlins, and he
214
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:11.960
does a show a lot of it on Sports Business,
215
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:15.240
and he sat on the up front. He goes, Mark
216
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:17.840
Cuban is lying. He goes, there is no way he
217
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:20.879
can sell the majority of the team and maintain He
218
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.600
goes per the in the way like sports teams are
219
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:29.399
structured in within the NBA. He was like no, He's like, yeah,
220
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.879
maybe they they had a handshake agreement like yeah, you'll
221
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:34.919
you maintain control. But he goes, there's no way that
222
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.279
he can keep the Addison's from you know, taking control
223
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.080
of the team and want Yeah, you know.
224
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:46.440
Which that everything that you're saying, Trey makes total sense.
225
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:49.679
But there was clearly some sort of maybe it wasn't
226
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:52.080
written down. Maybe it was the handshake agreement that they
227
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:53.559
definitely went back on.
228
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:58.279
And I'm sure part of it is although I think
229
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:01.639
I believe Nico was his guy, I am sure the
230
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:06.799
Luca trade left of just an absolute horrible taste in
231
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:08.399
everyone's mouth. YOPM.
232
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:10.799
That's why I'm not a Mavericks fan anymore.
233
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:15.519
Same season, and it's it's not just because it's not
234
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:17.240
because I don't want to get Marid in the Luca trade,
235
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:18.600
suffcause training I have talked about.
236
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:18.960
That already, but.
237
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.039
Look, I mean, at one point, Mark Cuban was sort
238
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:29.000
of not hated, hated, but disliked by a certain contingent
239
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:32.879
of MAVs fans for selling and for selling who he
