00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:29.280
It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh

2
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:32.799
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Daniel Malley along with

3
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:38.479
Trade Trendhold. Today it is Thursday, February six, two thousand

4
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:47.719
twenty five. We are going to revisit a little bit

5
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.159
more of the Luka Doncitz trade drama. And I'm looking

6
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:56.920
forward to that because while at some points this week

7
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.000
I said I didn't care and it was true, then

8
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:02.880
they've pulled me back in and I care again, and

9
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:05.840
I'm going to share more thoughts with you today. But

10
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:11.599
first we're going to revisit the game of verses that

11
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.280
we played yesterday inside the Treehouse. Yesterday on the show,

12
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:21.879
I asked you, Trey and Raj, would you rather have

13
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:25.760
your soulmate or one million dollars? And the both of you,

14
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.799
the both of you said, without even thinking about it,

15
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.079
I'm not even sure if Trey, you let me finish

16
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:39.280
the question. You said, give me the cash. Yeah, And

17
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:43.879
I realized that I didn't even give you the context

18
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:46.560
and the reason that I even asked you the question

19
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:50.719
in the first place. Okay, I appreciate you letting me

20
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:52.239
give it to you, because I don't think it's going

21
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:56.480
to change anything I answer. I just want to give

22
00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:01.079
you the context for how it is I came up

23
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:07.480
with the question to pose to you guys. And that

24
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:11.719
is a new service called a million dollar match Making

25
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:15.680
promises to find your soulmate in under a year for

26
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.360
the low low price of one million dollars. It's no

27
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:24.560
surprise that this is a Los Angeles based matchmaking service

28
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:31.759
and it's a twelve month program. The price tag covers

29
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:37.400
the salaries of three people. So here's what you get

30
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:44.719
for one million dollars of matchmaking services. Okay, number one,

31
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:54.560
you get a dedicated recruiter. Just one slightly different word

32
00:02:54.680 --> 00:03:01.360
choice there, and we're talking about the taken for sequel. Yeah, anyway,

33
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.879
in the twelve month program, that one million dollars covers

34
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:07.840
the salaries of three people. Here's what you get for

35
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:12.039
that million dollar match making service, Number one, a dedicated recruiter.

36
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:16.639
They'll fly all around the country to visit bars, gyms, concerts,

37
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:20.400
and other spots to find you your perfect match. You

38
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:26.879
get unlimited matches with full background checks. Wow, that is

39
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:37.879
truly special. We've heard of headhunters for you know, corporate jobs.

40
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:53.919
And if she's my soulmate, Amen, brother, Amen.

41
00:03:55.080 --> 00:04:00.520
Number two a matchmaker. Of course, the matchmaker. They'll help

42
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:03.039
you make sure you're paired with the right people and

43
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:07.039
also plan out your dates in minute detail. You do

44
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.719
none of the legwork. Okay. Number three, you get a

45
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.879
dating coach. They will work with you and your dates

46
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:22.199
on things like clothes, hair, and dating etiquette. I don't

47
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:27.240
know if they mean your dates, like the date itself

48
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.040
or the person you're going on a date with. It's

49
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:36.439
got to be the date, not the person, because I

50
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:39.240
can't imagine anyone being turned on by your dating coach

51
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:40.120
critiquing them.

52
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.000
Then number one, yeah, I agree with you.

53
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:49.040
Then number four, if you get engaged less than six

54
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:53.560
months after the program ends, they'll toss in a three

55
00:04:53.720 --> 00:05:02.480
carrot engagement ring. So now, what do you think about

56
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.439
one million dollars or your soulmate.

57
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:11.560
In the macro? Oh?

58
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:15.160
Yes, if you have a million dollars to waste on this,

59
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:22.319
then it's sad because you could find your soulmate any

60
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:23.399
night you wanted.

61
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:26.000
And or and and and In.

62
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:32.279
Reality, all you could go pay go find a hot

63
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.279
chick to be your wingman for one hundred grand a

64
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:37.920
year plus you pay all the nights out and everything,

65
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.439
and she could sniff out the good ones the bad

66
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:44.000
ones and set you up, and.

67
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:46.759
You could do it for a lot cheaper.

68
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:48.360
And then also, if you have a million dollars to

69
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:51.920
spend a three carrot ring, really that's.

70
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:54.319
You.

71
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:56.480
You're if you got that kind of cash, you're you're

72
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:58.519
you're buying more than three carrots.

73
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.199
Well, I mean it depends on you know, the color

74
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:02.000
the cut declared?

75
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:03.079
Is it lab grown?

76
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:08.439
Something else to consider, because what your soulmate? You know,

77
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:10.199
I if you're okay with lab grown, you got to

78
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:15.399
make sure your soulmate's okay with lab grown. The it

79
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:21.680
is interesting, I'll put it that way. The million dollar matchmaking.

80
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:26.680
They're only taking on three clients though, so you're gonna

81
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:34.879
get some dedicated service for your million dollars and they

82
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:38.240
then they've already got over one hundred people applied.

83
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.240
I mean, are they doing a reality show around this too.

84
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.360
There's no mention of it, but it sounds very much

85
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:52.839
like it will be, or at the very least should be.

86
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:57.079
Yeah, it reeks of it, because again I don't if

87
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:02.360
you have that kind of cash and you're that lonely,

88
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:04.439
there are bigger issues at play.

89
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:10.480
I really think finding romance on television ended with flavor

90
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:15.279
flav m H. I don't know if anyone could ever

91
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:20.839
do it better, so why bother.

92
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:25.519
Hard to argue that one.

93
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.560
So anyway, again, the million dollar matchmaking service, they're only

94
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.120
choosing three people for it. They've already had over one

95
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:38.879
hundred people apply on just day one of them taking applications.

96
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:43.680
One of the things they do offer free free advice

97
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:45.360
that they offer if you want to, you know, go

98
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:49.639
out on your own, they say, dress nice for your

99
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:52.920
next flight. Airports are another spot where they will be

100
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:55.720
looking to recruit dates because a lot of business travelers

101
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:57.959
are just sitting there with tons of time to kill,

102
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:02.000
so it's a good place for recruiters to strike up conversations.

103
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:05.920
So and what what are do you get your money

104
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:09.560
back if they don't find your soulmate?

105
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:11.439
I don't believe so.

106
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.439
I don't think there's a there's a money back guarantee

107
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:16.720
on this.

108
00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:22.920
But they guarantee they'll find you your soulmate.

109
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.399
They guarantee it. Now, that's and that's the interesting thing.

110
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:26.839
Again.

111
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:29.720
It's a million dollars and they're only taking on three clients,

112
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.919
so they get to choose which people they think they

113
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.879
will have the best chance at finding a soulmate. The

114
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:38.080
thing is, though, how do you even know it's a

115
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:41.960
soulmate in you know, in the immediate because we all

116
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:44.879
have infatuation, we have crushes at first. It may not

117
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:47.039
be a soulmate. You just may have a huge crush

118
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:49.519
on this person. The idea of whether or not someone

119
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:51.720
is a soulmate you may not find out for thirty

120
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.519
forty years, and this company will have folded long before then.

121
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:56.720
All they're gonna do is they're gonna find three tech

122
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.240
nerds that have no social skills, dress them up. It's

123
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:06.639
gonna be like, can't buy me love? And you know

124
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:09.240
they're gonna dress him up, make him look nice and say, hey,

125
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:10.679
that's your girl.

126
00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:11.320
And you go, okay.

127
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.039
Secretly they've taken half a million of the dollars that

128
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.240
you've given them and given it to her just to

129
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:18.960
play the part.

130
00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:21.080
Yeah.

131
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:24.000
Or the other route is you go through the year

132
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:27.399
long process as the recruiter and you realize this person

133
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:30.440
is impossible and you just buy them a really expensive,

134
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:36.440
you know, squishy AI robot. No, you just say, this

135
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:37.440
is your soulmate.

136
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:42.480
Remember Harlem Knights, Go find Sunshine.

137
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.360

cookdfw dot com. Daniel, you and I have talked for

143
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:14.559
a long time now, and I appreciate our talks. But

144
00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:19.399
even now you can surprise me. I had no idea

145
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:23.720
you could finance a roof. It's a good thing, especially

146
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.720
if for some reason insurance is not involved and you

147
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:29.440
don't have you know, twenty thirty forty thousand dollars just

148
00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:32.600
lying around. Maybe you want to explore some options and

149
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:34.000
you guys have that ability.

150
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:37.440
Yeah, Dan, we brought that on a couple of years back,

151
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.000
and believe it or not, it really has helped some

152
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:44.440
folks protect their home, make sure it doesn't leak, and

153
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:48.559
keep it from having large, large expenses from interior and

154
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:51.759
attic problems. So the financing is there. We have a

155
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:55.759
unique link on our website you can go you put

156
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:59.879
your information in. It actually is a soft inquiry, so

157
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:02.919
it doesn't hit your credit with a hard you know

158
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.240
credit hit that some people are scared of, and it

159
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:09.279
gives you, you know, five, six, eight options that whichever

160
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:11.679
one helps you the best. So it gives you different terms,

161
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:15.399
gives you different interest rates, different payments. Some of them

162
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:17.559
are zero interest for a certain amount of time, so

163
00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:20.240
you may qualify for paying it out and you don't

164
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:22.399
have to worry about interest. So all kinds of options there,

165
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:26.480
And it also helps with deductibles. Everybody's deductibles are high

166
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.919
right now. They're ten thousand dollars, eighty five hundred dollars.

167
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.320
I saw one yesterday it was seventeen thousand dollars. So

168
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:35.519
these helps, you know, so if you have to pay

169
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:37.759
out your deductible, it gives you a perfect, you know,

170
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:38.879
option of doing.

171
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:41.840
That as well. Yeah, so it's great. So that way

172
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:44.360
you have that piece of mind that even if you

173
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.240
can't afford that deductible or you can't afford the cash

174
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:50.879
payment of a whole new roof, you got options when

175
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:53.600

Back inside the Treehouse now. I'm Daniel Malley along with

187
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:41.279
Trey Trenholm. On Thursday, February sixth, twenty twenty five, Sunday morning,

188
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:44.240
we all woke up to learn that the Dallas Mavericks

189
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:47.480
had made a blockbuster trade, sending Luca Donchetz to the

190
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.519
Los Angeles Lakers, and.

191
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:50.519
You woke up to it.

192
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:55.200
I experienced real time reaction at work when the news

193
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:56.480
started filtering in.

194
00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:58.080
That was about midnight.

195
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:02.039
Uh Were you happy where you said? Or sort of indifferent?

196
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:08.600
When I first heard the news, I was. I was shocked,

197
00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:18.799
and you know, probably at that point sad and dismayed

198
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:24.679
that the MAVs seemingly we're giving up.

199
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:32.759
I too was shocked, but I was quickly indifferent because

200
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.600
I am in a sports funk. I will absolutely freely

201
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:37.799
admit it. I am in a sports funk. My favorite

202
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:41.600
teams have been disappointing me lately. And by teams, I

203
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:45.559
mainly mean the Cowboys. The Stars. Stars are a great organization.

204
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.120
They're doing well. They're always competitive. The Rangers have a

205
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:50.000
free pass for a while because they finally won a

206
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:51.320
World Series. I'm happy with them.

207
00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:54.240
The Rangers have a lifetime free pass now, I mean

208
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.240
I have they Yeah, I got and win a World Series.

209
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:56.759
I'm good.

210
00:13:57.080 --> 00:14:01.519
Yeah, But the we're just kind of there.

211
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:02.399
You know.

212
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:06.600
They were competitive, and I was indifferent to it because

213
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:09.279
I was just mad at how the Cowboys that made

214
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:12.480
me feel. And then the MAVs in one fails suite

215
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:18.519
managed to turn me against the organization. Now about it

216
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:20.679
because because I thought it was so ridiculous, I laughed

217
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:23.000
about it and then quickly said I choose not to care.

218
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:27.200
But after after a careful analysis and being inundated with

219
00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:30.600
press conference videos and sound bites and things, I am

220
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:32.679
now joining the throngs of fellow MAVs fans who are

221
00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:38.200
pissed off. So I'm gonna share this with you real quick. Trade.

222
00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:41.200
This was did you see any of the press conference

223
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:43.200
that the Lakers had with Luca on Monday.

224
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:43.799
I did not.

225
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:49.639
The audio here is not as essential as Luca's face.

226
00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:53.480
Watched Luca's face as Lakers management is talking about the

227
00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:57.159
trade that brought Luca to the Lakers, look at his face.

228
00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:00.120
This opportunity to us and then staysed.

229
00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:03.240
Of all to Luca is looking down. He looks lost,

230
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:09.440
He looks shell shocked. He is wearing a sweater pulled

231
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:12.720
over a button down shirt. He looks like a psychology student,

232
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:17.360
not an NBA superstar. He might be a little hungover

233
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:23.559
that that also is certainly a possibility.

234
00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:29.759
Luka Mexic, Kleeber and Markeith Morris become members of our team.

235
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:35.480
So he looks like a man who just got dumped.

236
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.360
And that's exactly what happened. And it's probably the first

237
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:43.120
time in his life he's ever been dumped romantically or professionally.

238
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.679
And it's a lot to take in. And we you

239
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:48.799
and I tre we've been dumped. It's happened to the

240
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:50.879
rest of the world, but this is probably the first

241
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:55.320
time that has happened to Luca. Lucky for him, we

242
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:59.039
have experience in being dumped. We can now offer him

243
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:03.879
professional and this may be our only opportunity trade because

244
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.039
we don't have any NBA experience to offer him, but

245
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:10.519
we have life experience. So here's what he can do. Now,

246
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:13.399
tell me if you disagree with any of this. A

247
00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:15.960
Luca don just got dumped by the Maps and he

248
00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:18.120
was stunned and shocked by it. He wasn't expecting it,

249
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:20.679
right mm hm. So what he needs to do now

250
00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:22.440
is what all of us should do when we get dumped.

251
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:25.039
Number one, go get you some therapy, get right in

252
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:29.600
the head, become a better version of yourself mentally. Then

253
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:33.559
you go get that revenge body. You look better than

254
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.240
you've ever looked before. Number three. After you get that

255
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:39.960
revenge body and your head's in the right space, then

256
00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:42.320
you go take some thirst trap photos and you post

257
00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:44.840
those all across social media, showing the Maps what they're

258
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:46.919
missing out on. Then you ball out and go get

259
00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:49.399
a trophy showing them further what they've missed out on.

260
00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:53.720
That's what Luca needs to do to get over this breakup,

261
00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:57.200
because if we're being honest and I have experience with this,

262
00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:03.799
the best revenge is living your best life without them well,

263
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:07.240
and we the fans will be left in the middle

264
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:08.559
to awkwardly cheer for you.

265
00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:12.720
So, as far as you know, getting dumped and you're

266
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:16.640
right about those things. However, if I think they thought

267
00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:19.279
Luca could get that beach bod, they probably wouldn't have

268
00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:22.559
traded him. But let's not because sometimes when we get dumped,

269
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.039
we then forget we were miserable with that person, and

270
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:30.000
all of a sudden we romanticize who that person was

271
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:32.559
and all their good We remember all their good qualities.

272
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:35.279
We forget they're bad. Let me remind you of something

273
00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:36.240
with Luca.

274
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:40.000
Okay, so this is, by the way, every which by

275
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:42.720
the way, everything you just said is one thousand percent accurate.

276
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:46.680
This is especially especially if you were the one that

277
00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:47.319
got dumped.

278
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:53.160
This is after I believe Game three of the Finals.

279
00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:56.480
This is Brian Windhorst on Sports Center with Scott Van Pelt.

280
00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:01.240
Brian Winhorse is the lead NBA analyst covers the NBA

281
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:03.400
for ESPN Dallas.

282
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:06.359
This is their first time on this stage.

283
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:09.160
Luca and Kyrie combined for actually more than Tatum and

284
00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:10.799
Brown did, but Luca fowls out late.

285
00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:13.599
I just wonder your reaction to that whole sequence.

286
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.359
Yeah, I thought it was perfect that Luca fell onto

287
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:21.440
the ground there in an unacceptable position to put himself

288
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:23.799
in with four minutes left with five fouls, and then

289
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:26.279
immediately looks at the bench and says, you better bleeping

290
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:28.920
challenge it, as if it's the bench's fault that he

291
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:31.440
just made a terrible play. I'm standing here in the

292
00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:34.599
Mavericks tunnel. Over there is the Celtics tunnel. That's where

293
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:36.359
the winners are. If Lucas ever going to be a

294
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:38.559
winner coming out of this tunnel here, he is going

295
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:40.440
to have to use this have what's happened in this

296
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:45.440
finals as a learning experience. His defensive performance is unacceptable.

297
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:47.519
He is a hole on the court. The Celtics are

298
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:49.720
attacking him. They are ahead in this series because they

299
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:53.039
have attacked him defensively. And you've got a situation here

300
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:56.039
where Luca's complaining about the officiating. They have begged him,

301
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:58.000
they have talked with him, they have pleaded with him.

302
00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:00.279
He is costing his team because of how he treats

303
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:02.680
the officials. He's a brilliant player, he does so many

304
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:05.759
things well. They are here because how he did. His

305
00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:08.759
performance in this game is unacceptable and the reason why

306
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:09.920
the Mavericks are not going to win.

307
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:14.359
How dare you, Trey, how dare you throw facts and

308
00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:18.920
figures and game tape in my face right in front

309
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:20.039
of my feelings?

310
00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:22.720
Well, you know, sometimes we just need a reminder that

311
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:25.559
our ex wasn't as great as we have you know

312
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:26.880
now that we got dumped.

313
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:29.920
There were there there were some problems in the relationship.

314
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:35.079
Yeah, but we could have worked the room. If just given,

315
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:37.160
just given a chance.

316
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:38.880
Leve will conquer all.

325
00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:38.680
you remember being bored very much as a kid?

326
00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:39.920
Sure?

327
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:42.599
What did you do about?

328
00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:52.480
I mean usually go outside and play? I mean if

329
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:52.960
you could.

330
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:57.559
Uh, that's all I need. Yeah, that's all I need.

331
00:20:57.599 --> 00:20:58.000
For now.

332
00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:01.319
We are now set up. Okay, we are now set

333
00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:07.279
up for a generational beat down. All right, here we go.

334
00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:16.279
Teens are overwhelmed by boredom. And there's one big reason.

335
00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:21.039
Why can you guess that reason? Trey?

336
00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:26.000
They don't play outside. They've learned all the video games.

337
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:36.880
That's part of it. Phones, screen time, okay, screen time,

338
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:39.440
and social media. So screen time is sort of the

339
00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:44.519
big umbrella. Social media is a big chunk of underneath

340
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:49.680
that umbrella. Young people are more bored than ever before,

341
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:53.839
and social media apps meant for entertainment and engagement is

342
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:56.920
one of the culprits. His sixteen year old spoke to

343
00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:59.839
Yahoo News said that he used to be excited to

344
00:21:59.880 --> 00:22:03.200
go home after school and do homework. Now he's chronically bored.

345
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:06.359
He says he watches the clock count by in class

346
00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:10.440
or dreads his family's digital detox days on which he

347
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:13.440
craves his cell phone. Screen time, he said, is his

348
00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:16.799
crutch for boredom. So when he's bored, that's when he says,

349
00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:21.359
he reaches for his phone. He'll scroll through Instagram, TikTok

350
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:24.119
and the other social media apps to see what his

351
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:26.880
friends are up to. But then that leads to late

352
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:30.480
night doom scrolling that affects his sleep. He even says,

353
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:33.119
I don't even remember what I'm seeing honestly, as soon

354
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:36.200
as I'm off my phone, I feel horrible and ashamed.

355
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:40.440
Citing survey data from the organization Monitoring the Future, Yahoo

356
00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:43.640
News reported that boredom is on the rise among tweens

357
00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:47.039
and teens. Forty five percent of high school seniors responded

358
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:50.039
they agreed or mostly agreed with the statement I am

359
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:57.279
often bored, and these numbers just keep going up. A

360
00:22:57.319 --> 00:23:02.039
marriage and family therapist says that boredom is just the

361
00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:04.720
intolerance of it. She says a lot of it is

362
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:07.759
due to the constant screen use and having that ability

363
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:10.799
to avoid boredom with the screen. Boredom is the seed

364
00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:14.359
of creativity, but when people are avoiding boredom all the time,

365
00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:17.759
they never need to create, learn a skill, do art,

366
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:24.480
or go outside and make friends. I still remember the

367
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:27.359
time I went to my mom and said, Mom, I'm bored.

368
00:23:28.519 --> 00:23:30.440
You want to know what my mom's response was When

369
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:32.880
I told her I was bored, she said, why don't

370
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:36.880
you go bang your head against a wall. In hindsight,

371
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:39.240
I'll be not the best advice because I'm pretty sure

372
00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:41.200
that's what I did, and that may be the reason

373
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:44.720
I have so many head issues as an adult. But

374
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:47.799
it served its purpose. She made a solid point at

375
00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:51.519
the time, a solid hard point that was, you know,

376
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:53.559
I don't want to hear it, go do something about it.

377
00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:58.319
Well, I know growing up there, if I ever went

378
00:23:58.359 --> 00:24:01.839
to my parents and said I'm bored, the number one

379
00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:03.559
thing they would say is you need to learn to

380
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:04.400
entertain yourself.

381
00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:08.400
Yep. And that's what my mom was saying. When you

382
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:10.319
said you're bored, go bang your head against a wall.

383
00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:13.200
That's the same thing, just with more specific you know.

384
00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:18.200
At best, when I, you know, early teens, I had

385
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:21.240
a e fing atari. Other than that, you had to

386
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:27.440
go outside and play, run around, do something, you know.

387
00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:30.160
I remember at one point I had one of those

388
00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:33.240
nets where you could throw the baseball at it and

389
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:35.680
it would bounce back at you, you know, and.

390
00:24:35.799 --> 00:24:39.079
Yeah, you e you ever break it? I broke mine?

391
00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:46.039
No, But uh that's they don't.

392
00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:47.640
I've seen it firsthand.

393
00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:52.200
They literally it's if they're not online, they have they

394
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:53.480
have no clue what to do.

395
00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:58.119
It's it's astonishing to me because I forget where this

396
00:24:58.200 --> 00:25:02.160
