Hi.

Hi guys, welcome to the Really Good Podcast with your host, Bobbi Althoff. Today, this is a little different of an introduction because my videographer that I found by the trash can actually forgot to press record for the first three minutes of my interview. I'm working on replacing him right now, but I'm just going to introduce my guest. His name is Mark Cuban. You may have heard of him. He is on Shark Tank and he has some money and

his bank account. So we unfortunately had to record in a building that I had to rent because he didn't want us to use this house. So it was, we didn't, I couldn't afford chairs. So that's why we're sitting on the floor of a parking garage. And his feet are dirty because there was oil all over the floors and I didn't have time to clean them all up. But I hope you enjoy. I don't have any money. None? At all.

I have debt, actually. You have debt? How much debt do you have? Right now, I have like $20,000 of debt. Is that from school? No, from my podcast. Oh, for your podcast? What did you borrow money for? I borrowed it from the bank. I put it on a credit card. Just every episode that I film, I spend a lot of money on. Wow. I haven't made any money. Why didn't you come to me like investors instead of having to borrow? Because I wanted to have full ownership of it myself. See, look at you. Listen, Mike.

It's scary when you borrow money to start a business, isn't it? It is. Yeah. Usually I tell people not to, and it's better just to like start slow, but it takes a lot of guts to do that. Thank you. You're welcome. I believe in my podcast, so I just, I'm trying my best. I've had some, a few guests, some D-list celebrities, but you're the first big guest I've had. I'm the first E-list celebrity? A-list. Oh, A-list. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah. No, I've had some D-list celebrities in the past. Yeah, I've seen otherwise, but you know. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

You know, it's all, it's all. You got Drake a bed and I get a floor. That's because he provided the bed. You didn't provide a location. I mean, for $20,000, you at least could have got me a sheet. Yeah, I could have. But the thing was, is that I'm on the last, like my credit card limit is $20,000. I have like. Yeah, but there's no cars here. There's like oil stains and everything around us. At least you picked a clean spot.

No, we Swiffered it before you came. You Swiffered it? Well, my camera guy. You spent money on a Swiffer? My camera guy found a Swiffer and we Swiffered it before you came. See, it's not often you find a Swiffer, so. Yeah, I mean, I think you're lucky. If you move anywhere else, it's going to be pretty gross, but we did find a Swiffer. I appreciate that. Yeah, you're welcome. I have an interesting fact for you. What's that? Oh, we have the same birthday. Oh.

What? So you've got a birthday coming up? Yeah, you do too. Yeah. I like yours better than mine. Yeah, I like yours because you have a lot of money, so you're probably going to have a lot of fun. Yeah, I do have a lot of fun. Yeah, what are you going to do for your birthday? Well, I got my kids here in town, so we're just going to go, you know, my kids are all teenagers, 13, 16, and 19. Okay. So even though it's my birthday, they get to pick.

Because if they didn't pick they wouldn't do it and they would just say happy birthday dad So wherever they decide that's where I'm going. What do you think they're gonna decide? So we're staying in Laguna Beach and there's this diner called Ruby's and that's where they usually like to go So I'm guess that's not what I would have expected. No, yeah Ruby's where I'll get a chocolate milkshake and

And I'll get French fries because like kind of a family thing is we like to dip French fries in our milkshakes. Chocolate. That's nice. Yeah. I thought you'd be on like a yacht or something. No, that's not my style. No, not at all. No. I was going to ask you to invite me to whatever you were doing, but I think that I'll probably be fine. Yeah. I mean, you don't want to go to Ruby's? I do. Sea salt, chocolate milkshakes? Mm-hmm.

Are you inviting me? Yeah, you can come. For my birthday? Yeah, for your birthday too. That could be really cool. Yeah, I'll bring my kids. Yeah, how old are your kids? Three and one. Oh, that's great. Your kids can babysit my kids. That's right. That's right. There's future there. Yeah. For sure. Okay. Are you being serious or are you just saying this because there's cameras? Both.

Okay. I hope that you keep the same amount of energy. I think it would be cool. But I don't know where my kids are taking me. But I'll get your info and I'll text you and let you know. I live in Laguna Beach. Oh, you do live down here? Oh, so that's easy. Yeah. So you know Rubies and that's like no big deal. I haven't been to Rubies. What? No.

How long have you lived in Laguna? For like 11 months. Oh, okay. Yeah. But still. Yeah. It's iconic. I'll have to go there. Have you heard of it? I'm lactose intolerant. But so am I. That's my one time that I... That's the one time I have milkshakes is on my birthday at Ruby's, for real. I have some good dairy pills I'll give you. Oh, I...

You know, but part of the joy of being lactose intolerant is creating misery for all the people around you. Oh, that's nice of you to do that to them. I will not want to be around you if you don't take the lactose pills that I give you. So on Shark Tank, right? Uh-huh. Where they, when deals come on that have food, sometimes they have dairy in them. And they're like, well, just try it. And just, and whenever there's dairy, all the other sharks know to like slide over that way. And Damon is also lactose intolerant. So it kind of becomes a kind of...

fun thing kind of not not really fun for everyone else but yeah you guys try it yeah you just try do you still do shark tank uh yep we just often do film um we filmed the first pod for season 15 um for two weeks in june and then we go back in september for a week and that'll be it that's all it takes yeah that's that'll be it like it's done forever or that'll no no no no for this season for season 15 okay that's that's um i'll miss that i used to watch your show you used to yeah why'd you stop

Do people still watch it? The show? Yes. Okay. I stopped because I thought it stopped existing, but I'm feeling how that is. Why did you think that? Well, I don't know. It's been a long time. I used to watch it before I had kids. Well, come on. Come on back. Give us another try, Bobby. I used to want to. Wow, that was like the voice. You did it. I did the Shark Tank voice. Yeah, that was pretty cool to hear in real life. And for that reason. I'm out. I'm in. No, I'm out. You're in. I'm out. I'm out.

You're in. I have a, can I pitch an idea? No, because you don't watch. How do you know if we do it the same way anymore? I don't know. Can I try? No. Why would we do it if you don't do it the same way we used to do it, but we do it differently now. Hmm. You got me there. But okay, go ahead. Okay. Uh, my podcast. Okay. I haven't, I'm just in debt right now. It has too much debt. It does. It has too much debt. Yeah. Okay. You don't think it's a good idea? I think the podcast you're doing is a great idea. It's been great, but it's got too much debt. You don't think there's any money to be made off of it?

Well, you got a great agent and you got a great agency and you got great guests. And so, yeah, there's probably some money, but what are your advertisers like? I don't have any. Well, that's a problem. Why don't you have any advertisers? No one's asked yet. No one's asked? Yeah, no one's asked to advertise yet. See, but it's supposed to work the other way where you go out and ask them and you tell them why they should advertise. No sponsors or anything? Not a single thing. Not one? No. The only money I make is from YouTube ads.

Really? And TikTok. Oh, and that's always a pain because you never know what they're going to give you. Yeah, it's just a gamble. And you haven't had any sponsors at all? Not a single sponsor for my podcast, no.

And you still owe your $20,000. How long have you been doing the podcast? Since April. April, yeah. Say a year. Not a year. Not a year, because April's not a year. No. No, don't. I haven't been failing that long. It's new. Well, you're not failing at all. You're doing good. My bank account would say otherwise. Yeah.

Then what I would tell you is when we go dip our French fries in our, at least my milkshake, you may not. Okay. Then I can give you some advice on selling ads for your podcast. Can you give me some money? I don't know that I'd invest in a podcast, just to be honest. Just money though. Oh, just give you money? Like $20,000. No. To pay off my debt. But you know what? If I give you $20,000, I got to pay taxes on that. Yeah. Yeah. I do know that. And that's no fun. No.

Did you get some oil on your hand? A little bit, but that's okay. Thank you. I'll buy you new clothes. How are you going to buy me clothes if you don't have any money? You're going to give me $20,000 and then I'll have some money. Well, I don't wear nice clothes anyway, so it wouldn't take much. Well, I know I'm not planning on using the whole $20,000 to buy you clothes. I'm planning on using maybe a few dollars of it to get you the clothes.

What would you buy me? I'll go to Target. But what would you buy me? A t-shirt and some shorts. But I know Target very well. Do you own part of Target? No, I shop there. You probably own it too. No. A little bit. No, not even one share of stock. You tried? No. Why not? It's just, it's like podcasting. It's a tough business. Okay. I just wanted like, I just think that you should give me $20,000. I mean, I could. I know you could.

But it was just a bad example. What? Because other people would ask you for $20,000? Yeah, every podcaster on the planet. Okay, let's just say right now on the record, no, he's not going to be giving me any money. Okay? And then off the record, can you give me $20,000? Yeah. You really think I'm an under the table guy? Yeah.

Hey guys, I want to take a quick second to thank SeatGeek for sponsoring this episode. I know you guys are all shocked to be hearing this. Somebody sponsored my podcast finally, but I knew that I had to work with SeatGeek after I did an episode with Drake because I heard that he does concerts or

tours and I'm really excited to go see him perform. When I was looking online for the tickets, I just made sure that I went to the green dot, not the red dot because green means cheap. SeatGeek is the number one ticketing app and they have over 28 million downloads and I guess that's pretty good.

You'd have a lot of fun with the Mavs. I would have a lot of fun with them, but the Mavs. They're fun guys too. Yeah. What sport is it? Basketball. Oh, okay. I like basketball players. Do you really? I like the other players. Yeah. Who's your best, like favorite, best friend player?

Can you tell me some? LeBron. LeBron James. Yeah, LeBron James. I forgot about him, but I do like him. Is he all the Mavericks? No, he's not. Okay. Are you trying to get him? No. Okay, well. We have this guy named Luka Doncic. How old do you think I am? 40, 41. Why do you think that? Just your mannerisms. 41. Okay, Grandpa. Hey, I'm young. I just have old skin. Even at 40, you could still, if I'm 40, you could still be my grandpa, so...

That's pushing it though. That's not pushing it. That's pushing it when I'm filming. That means you had me when you were like 40. Because you're what, 80? But see, if I had you when I was 40, I wouldn't be your grandpa. Yeah. Okay, you...

hmm now how old are you for like 24 25 25 well I'll be 26 oh you'll be 26 that's right next week on our birthday I can't believe we have the same birthday that's pretty cool that is really cool you know who else you know Wesley Snipes is no um you know um Zach Brown right Zach Brown brand I've heard of him yeah um who else has our birthday um have you looked this up

No, because when it shows up, like... Oh, because you look yourself up. No, no. So they show people's birthdays and they'll put mine in there. And so then I'll look to see who else's birthday. And I say Wesley's life. And Root Boy Slim. Fat Boy Slim. Rockefeller Skank. What's the song? Yeah, that's Before Your Time. Yeah. Sorry, Grandpa. Who else?

Yeah, well, you wouldn't even know who Wesley Snipes is then. But you would know Zach Brown. I've heard of him. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's cool. Maybe you should host a big birthday party for all of the people with July 31st birthdays. I did. I did. Oh, and you didn't invite me. I didn't know you back then. How long ago? It was five years ago. Oh, five years ago. Yeah. We had...

Stevie Wonder. Okay, this sounds like a place you should have invited me. We had chain smokers. Okay. I know these people. Yeah, a couple other folks, yeah. I would like to know them personally like you do, so invite me next time. Why aren't you throwing a birthday party for us this year? You know, I just didn't realize what I was missing until just now. I think that it's not too late to put something on. Hopefully I'll have another one. I hope so too. And then another one.

And then maybe like 10 more? Yeah, or more. Yeah, a lot more than that. You're 80 right now, so you have like... 30 to go. You want to live till you're 110? 115. Okay, that's 35. Yeah. Okay. Are you good at math? Am I good at math? Yeah. I used to be. Yeah, I can tell. It's fading. It's age. Yeah. Fading fast. It happens when you get old. That happens, you know. Do you remember being 25? Yeah. Do you miss it? Um...

Parts of it, yeah. Were you poor when you were 25? Yeah, I was sleeping on the floor, yeah. Okay.

And now look at you. I'm right back where I started from, right? I had to bring it full circle. Life does that, yes. You did like that, Bobby. I am. I was like, yeah, I wanted you to. I looked that up, actually. I was like, oh, put him back on the floor. Back on the floor, right? Not because I couldn't afford it. Yeah, when I was 25, that's right after I moved to Dallas, and I had six guys in a three-bedroom apartment sleeping on the floor. How did you find these guys? I went to school in Indiana, so they were my buddies there.

Oh. And so they went down to Dallas and said, come on down. I was like, all right, my car will make it. And that's how far I got. Wow. Yeah. That's amazing. When did you stop being poor? How old were you? Probably when I was 28 or 29.

Yeah. That's... But I'll tell you this, on my 27th, when I was 27, I won't forget it, actually, I went to the ATM to try to get out some money because I had a business like you, right? I didn't borrow money, but I had someone steal some money from me. And so I got fucked up. And so I went to the ATM and showed me a big old zero. And so it's when I was 27 and then got past that and then bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. So... So I have like...

A year or two to figure those things out. Become a billionaire. Do you think I could be a billionaire one day? If you want to be. But being a billionaire takes luck. I mean, you can be rich. I mean, you can be well off if you bust your ass. And that's not to say a lot of people bust their ass and don't make it. But there's like a path if you have your own business and you know how to sell, which you haven't been too good at. Yeah. Thank you for reminding me. You're welcome.

But if you get good at selling and you can build your business then you can start as a millionaire and then if you get lucky then you never know where it takes you from there.

I hope it takes me to be a billionaire. I've gotten pretty lucky so far. I've had a lot of lucky breaks. Good. Now you just got to monetize them, which means turn it into money, which you haven't. I know what monetize means. You do? Yeah. You don't have to define monetize to me. I don't? No. Okay. I won't be condescending anymore. And you mispronounced condescending. I did. I was thinking ketchup. I'm sorry about that. I was thinking condiments, condescending, ketchup. Why were you thinking about ketchup? Because I was thinking about rubies.

Okay, you have do you own rubies a little bit a little bit of it? No, I feel like I do but because I'm there on my birthday a lot But I don't a lot how many times do you go there just every year for your birthday? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah And the next year you're gonna be getting a yacht and gifting it to me So then and we're gonna all celebrate our birthday on the yacht. Yeah, yeah, it's a

Because you're stuck in the middle of nowhere. Okay. I don't really like, I've never really been on one, so I can't say, but I've been on a cruise. Have you? I've been on a booze cruise. You have? Love booze cruises. You do? I've never been on one of those. Booze cruises are fun. Okay. Do you want to do that? You don't want to do that? Why not? For your birthday? No, not this birthday. I can't. Okay. Just rubies this birthday. Yeah, rubies. Okay. Like I said, my kids kind of set the tone. Yeah, that sucks. It's not bad. You know. Do you like your kids? Love my kids. Yeah. That's good. They're the best part of the day. Yeah.

That's good that you like them. I mean, you've got two kids, right? You'll find out. Like when they're one and three, they're just little blobs that are fun. Yeah. Most of the time, right? Then they grow up and then they're fun and lovable and huggable and they hug you back. Then they turn into teenagers and it all changes. They are better? Sometimes. Yeah. Sometimes. I feel like because you have so much money, they couldn't not like you.

No, hopefully that doesn't. It definitely does. A little bit. Nah. I think that, you know, sometimes I think that's the part they don't like. That you have money. Yeah. What do you mean? They want to be poor? Not that they want to be poor, but it's just an expectation. Can I have their inheritance? Because then if they don't like it, then I'll take it. No, it's not even that. It's just that's how other people see them.

them right because you know just like when your kids grow up and they'll be like your mom's Bobby and then they'll think of your mom their mom before they think of them yeah that's their fault they should work harder to make a name for themselves then could be yeah your kids should do the same you know we'll find out they should be trillionaires if they want to make it about them they'll find out whatever they want to do they want to do anything exciting maybe have a podcast they're gonna steal my podcast absolutely and

And then they have your money. You said I was a grandpa. So I'm going to teach them how to do a podcast. And it's going to be a podcast with D and E and C level celebrities. You don't want to do A-list celebrities? I could, but then I wouldn't be competing with you. Oh, okay. So you're going to, I'm number two on the charts right now. Are you trying to be number three? So you're next to let, no, no, I'm not trying to be number three. You're trying to be number one. We'll see.

You and your kids? Me and my kids. Okay. No, not me and my kids. I want them to do their own thing. It's got to be them doing their thing. Are they talented? They are, actually. They're pretty smart. You know, but everybody thinks their kids are talented in some way or another. Yeah, but some people are lying. Yeah, that's true. But so far, I mean, they do well in school, and they're good kids. Yeah, so whatever direction it takes them. Sounds like they're good kids. I feel like if they weren't good kids, you would just be like, oh, yeah, no, they're...

They're going to be okay. No, literally, like you're talking about things that change. Money changes everything in a lot of respects. More how people see you. Like if your personality changes with your bank account, then you're fucked up in the first place. Uh-huh. Right? But...

When, of all the things that I can have, do or buy, the best thing ever is when I'm with my kids. And so that, yeah, that's not something you can buy. - That's incredible. - Yeah, it really is. I mean, that's the best part of my life. - I wanna test the theory that, I just wanna test if maybe my personality changes with money. Will you put a million dollars in my bank account and then-- - No, because then you didn't earn it. It's completely different. - And I will just test to see if my personality is still good. - But we can pretend. - Let's not pretend. - Yeah, because that's what most people do.

They say, you know, I have a million dollars in the bank. No one's going to know that you're lying. You can say you have a billion dollars. You can say that's worth a million dollars right there. No one's going to know. I'll know. It doesn't matter what you know. It's what everybody else thinks. Then everybody's going to think you're a millionaire. It wasn't like you were going to give them money in the first place. That's true. Right? It wasn't like you were going to buy them anything. It wasn't like, I mean, how would you dress any differently if you had a million dollars? I would dress the same. Yeah, right. Yeah. I'd just be fine because I'd probably own a house. How many houses do you own?

That's all? I thought you were going to keep going to like 15. No. Wow. Yeah, most of those I bought a while ago when I thought that would be something cool. Where are they all located? Laguna, Dallas, Cayman Islands. Okay. Which one of them do you not stay in often? Cayman's just because. Can I have that one? No, because I let my friend stay there. I'm not your friend? I don't know. It's kind of shady right now. Okay.

I think we could be friends. We have the same birthday. That's a good start. We do, and I think that is a good start. That is a good start. Your name is Mark Cuban. That's not my name, so nobody will get confused. Well, this is true. Yeah, so that's good. We have two different names with the same birthday. With the same birthday, same date, same year. What's your social security number? 173-152-1467. Is that serious? What's the last four of your checking account? 2307. Okay, thank you.

I'm not going to do anything with that. But if money disappears, don't complain. Don't complain? Yeah. Yeah, I didn't give you the good account. How many accounts do you have? A bunch. Okay. I hope one day that I have a bunch of accounts too. What do you do with your free time now? Just play with your kids? No, they're big now. They play with themselves. Me and the friends. But yeah, I mean, work. I like what I do.

What do you do for work? I've got a company called CostPlusDrugs.com that tries to save people a lot of money on their medications. That's kind of like my thing. Why do you do that? Because it's crazy. In 2023, people got to choose between food and rent and paying for their meds. And so we put together this company that...

We go to costplusdrugs.com. You can put in your prescription and we show you what our cost is to buy it. Then we market a 15% so you know exactly why you're paying what you're paying. And that's always cheaper than what anybody else sells it for. And so we've been changing a lot of people's lives. Is it successful, your company? Yeah. Yeah. It's only, it's 18 months old and it's crushing it. Oh, wow. That's amazing. Do you need an investor? Yeah.

Now, I don't want to take anybody's money for it simply because we're not trying to make money. We're trying to just. I know I could help you, though. You could. Can I do an advertise on my podcast? Yes, you could. We don't spend any money on ads, but we can set something up for you. You want me to do it for free? Yes, ma'am.

Okay. What's the incentive for me? Because then you're going to have podcast listeners that'll say, you saved me all kinds of money on my medication or my grandfather or grandmother couldn't afford it and now they can. And then I'll throw my Venmo in after and be like, if your grandmother wants to send me like $10. There you go. Yeah. You can do that. At Bobby Altoff. At Bobby Altoff, yeah. Yeah. So if you guys save money...

send me something yeah you know throw something bobby's way yeah yeah that'd be just a couple dollars here and there yeah if you want yeah that's pretty cool that you started that company it's really cool it makes me feel really good too i mean when you get people like i'm used to people walking up to me for various reasons the mavs or shark tank but now i like i've literally had people just run up to me cry and hug me which is which is insane yeah that

Or when someone tells you that they didn't know if their grandmother could afford their cancer medication and we cut their cost from $2,000 a month to $50 a month. It's crazy that the system is that way, but that's why we started the company. That sounds like you're a really good person. Depends on who you ask. I don't know anybody that would say you aren't.

Oh, I know. I know. I know who would. Who? The people who mark the drugs up. Yeah. They probably hate you. Yeah. The people who were taking their place. Yeah. They don't like us at all. I don't think they like you. No, I'm lucky. I get to fuck with other people in that way. Yeah. It makes me feel good. Yeah. I will think of a business idea that you'll actually invest in since you don't like my podcast. But there's all kinds of things you can do with your podcast. Yeah. You know.

Like what? What's your big goal for your podcast? I want to become an actress one day. You want to be an actress? Yeah. And how are you going to use it? This is just me getting there, putting my name out there in the world. So you create visibility and do your thing. That's the smarter way of putting a yes. Yeah. There you go. And have you had any, well, it's tough right now with the strike going on. Yeah. So no luck happening right now. Have you had any hockey jobs so far? Never. Never yet? No. No? No.

Why, you think I'm a good actress? I think you could be, yeah. Oh, thank you. Yeah. Okay. I love doing acting. You act. Oh, yeah, I love it. Cry. Yeah. Cry. No, I can't cry like that. Cry right now. I can't. Laugh. Yeah, no. See, you just got to be in the character. You got to understand. No, but I've done a lot of the cameo stuff. TJ, your agent has gotten me a lot of great stuff. On TV? TV and movies, yeah. You've been in movies? Yeah, a lot of them. What movies? Sharknado 3, I played the president there.

Oh, my God. Wow. I just did House Party, the House Party reboot that LeBron James just did. You know, that basketball. Yeah, you were in that. Yeah, I was in that. A whole bunch of them. Oh, my goodness. You're really famous. No, it's just fun. I like doing that stuff. You know, it's just. Yeah. Business is one side of your brain and acting is like a whole different part.

You're going to have to teach me how to act since I've never had any. See, but that's what someone taught me. When I tried to act, that's when I really screwed up. So then you're just, okay. Yeah, when I stopped trying and just was in the moment and just talked to somebody like this. Yeah. Like we're acting right now. We're not acting. Yes, we are. We're on camera. Are you acting? I'm not. Is this not...

Oh, you need... Yeah, see, I forgot. You were in the moment too much. I was in the moment too much. I was just talking to you. Uh-huh. Eye contact this entire time. No, I don't. Completely oblivious to everybody else. Yeah, but I don't think this is acting unless you're acting like you like me.

I'm not that good. Okay. Thank you. You could act like that a little bit more. Okay. I love you, Bobby. This is the best podcast I've ever been on. Ever. Have you been on any more? I've been on a bunch of podcasts. Yeah. Why do you go on all of them? Oh my gosh. I can't return them if you break them. You can still sell it. Thank you. I would like to return them. So just don't let them break. Or you can give me $5 since you won't give me $20,000. I'll take $5.

I'm trying to think if I have a $5. You know, I don't really, do you carry cash anymore? No. I don't either. How do you tip people? With a credit card. No, but they have no credit card. They don't accept it. What do you do? You just give them like a car or something? Yeah.

But no, I mean, just using a car. No, like if you go valet your car. Usually I'll give 20 bucks if I valet. But you don't have cash. Usually if I'm going to valet my car, then I'll make sure I have some cash with me. So I keep it, I keep it usually in, in the car. Right. So I have 20 bucks. And then I, where was I the other day? And someone stole my 20 bucks. I was so pissed.

Forget where I was but like I went in I went right where in the console where I keep it in my car someone stole your $20 stole my $20. Oh my goodness. That's I'm sure that really hurt you financially I don't know if you'll recover they violated my trust I would have felt better if they just stole my car cuz then I can get a new car But now I know that like they went into my car Snooped around found my $20 and took it. That's all they took. I

I'm sure you'll never financially recover from that. It's not even that. Yeah, I know it's not that. It's the violation. Yeah, well, they probably needed it to... Yeah, I mean, I can survive with that, but who knows? I'm going to steal $20 from your car.

I'm trying to think if I got 20, but you know what? I had to park because this place is hard to find. This isn't, this isn't my normal studio. Yeah. I traveled to people. I asked if you wanted to do it at your house. You said no. Yeah. Cause I got my kids there. They would have been like, why are these people here? Yeah.

And then we could have been friends. We're going to hang out next week anyway. So it's like, that would have been good. Yeah. I had to rent the space. Well, I'm sorry. Cause now you're in debt 21,000. Uh-huh. I'm sorry. Yeah. It's just keeps adding. I do feel hopeful though, that'll eventually we'll stop.

going in that direction and I'll start to gain money. I guess I'm going to help you have to help you with your sales. Yes. Okay. Yes. I'll be your, your, your sales guru. Okay. I'm not going to actually do the selling, but I'll teach you how to sell. You can also do the selling a little bit. No, because you know that whole, you know, teach someone to fish, yada, yada. Oh yeah. Teach you how to do it. Yeah. Because you want to be able to keep on doing that forever and ever and ever and do bigger and bigger deals. So that, cause all it really takes is one customer.

If you get one good advertiser, you're set, right? Yeah. What other companies do you own? I own a lot or I'm an investor in hundreds.

Do you think any of them would like to be my sponsors? Maybe, but you got to make a good case to why it would work. It gets a lot of views. Um, but does it convert into sales is the question. We don't know yet. Cause you haven't had an advertiser. Yeah. So you have to take a chance on me. I think I can make that work. Okay. Yeah. I'll find one of my companies. Okay. I'll tell you what, you go to markcuban.com.

And that's where all of them are. You tell me which one you think would be a good advertisement. Oh, okay. Do you like to do makeup stuff at all? No. No? No. You sure? Oh, it depends on how much the money is. I might. I could. I love makeup. See, that's what I thought. Yeah. What do you mean? What do you mean by that? What do you mean? What do I mean? What do you mean by that? I mean, you look good for 40, but... Okay, stop saying I'm 40. Well, you can fuck with me, but I can't fuck with you. 40. Really? Really. Grandpa...

I'm not a grandma, though. I know you're not. By 40, I might be, since I had my kids so young. Well, that's true, too. Would that wear you out? Yeah. You're not even a grandpa yet. No, not close, yeah. But so, let's see, you were 24, 23, 22 when you had your first baby. Wow, that's really young. So if she has a baby at 22 and you're 44 and your grandma at 44, would that freak you out? Yeah. I don't really like that.

I don't want to be called grandma. No. I won't let her call me that, though. But it's okay for you to call me grandpa. Yeah. Okay. You look like my grandpa. For real? Mm-hmm. Well, he's dead now, but you did. Damn, and I was just trying to be nice to you. Yeah. I bet he was an amazing guy, though. I don't remember him that much, but. But I look like him. Yeah, a little bit. I think all old guys look similar, though, so. Killing me. Killing me. Tell me about your wife.

Her name is Tiffany. She's 38. Really? No. Good. But I tell her she is. That's nice of you. How old is she? I'm not going to say because she'll get really, really, really mad. You can't Google that? You could, but you'd have to really work to find it. When did you meet her? I met her when I was playing basketball in Dallas. And she was working at the same gym. No, just at the gym. This was before I bought the box. How tall are you? Two and a half, six three. Okay. Okay.

And then you met her when you were poor or rich? I was doing okay, but I wasn't rich rich. I wasn't where I am now. This was before we sold the company. So I was doing all right. So you were a little bit of a catch knot. She didn't know what she was in for though. No. Does she enjoy being rich? She doesn't dislike it, but I mean, there's good and bad to it, but there's, I mean, no one's bitching. No one's complaining. Yeah. Yeah. I mean,

There's no downside to being this obscenely rich. For me, maybe for other people, but not for me. Yeah, I can't imagine what it's like to be a billionaire. It's weird. How many other billionaires are there in the world? I don't know. You haven't counted? You don't just have little meetings where all the billionaires get together and talk about their money? Nope. No? No, no billionaires, handshake, none of that stuff. There's nothing...

Do you talk to other billionaires? I know some others. I've done events and stuff where there's been others there. But most of my friends are like guys that I moved to Dallas with or were friends in Dallas or friends at Indiana where I went to school or friends from Pittsburgh. All my friends that have been my friends my entire life are still my friends.

That's amazing. Yeah, it's good. I mean, I mean, people think that though, people think like you got to make new friends or, you know, you got butlers or you're this or that. You don't have a butler? No. Do you cook your own meals? My meals are really simple. Okay. My meals, yeah. So you don't cook them? I have somebody who will, like when I'm in Dallas and trying to eat healthy, I have a chef that'll make, like I eat the same things over and over. You have a chef? Yeah, but...

Just for my stuff, but like my wife will cook for the family or like here in Laguna I make my own lunches or whatever dinners. That's crazy. I don't think I would. You do your own laundry? Not in Dallas, but here, yeah. You do your own laundry? Yeah, I'm capable. That's wild. I don't think I would do my own laundry if I had that much money. Takes two seconds. It's just easier.

It's not easier. Yeah, it is. I don't have that much laundry. Look, I mean, look at this. It's like workout gear, shorts, and t-shirts. Yeah. That's it. Do you do your kids' laundry too? No. Who does that? The kids now are supposed to do their own. Even my son Jake did his own laundry the other day. He told me, you know what? I'm proud of you. That's crazy that you don't hire them someone to do their laundry. No, no. Do you have a chauffeur? No, no. I like to drive myself. I drove myself here. Oh, yeah. That's really weird. No. No.

A little bit. No, I like the privacy. I don't like, like, you know, I've been around people who, like, hire somebody to do everything for them. And that's just, like, no privacy. It's hard enough to have privacy, you know. I mean, you know what it's like. People are just like, hey, Bobby, hey, Bobby, hey, Bobby. And you don't get any privacy as it is. You're not scared, like, someone's going to come up to you and you're by yourself? You don't have security? I have security if I'm someplace I think I need it. But typically, yeah.

That's shocking. That's very shocking. No. I mean, I literally try to just, I don't know. It all sounds corny, so...

No, it doesn't. Keep going. No, I mean, I just try to be the same person, I mean, as I was when I was poor and middle and rich. I mean, why? When I was broke, I had a blast. I mean, I loved my life. And so, you know, I could wake up smiling. And, you know, back then, you just had to not answer the phone because it'd be a bill collector and, you know, not... But...

I was still having fun. And those same guys, we all went out to dinner the other night and we still tell the same stupid ass stories and do the same stupid shit. And, you know, that's good. I mean, I don't, you know, the whole idea of like, oh, get a, get a yacht, right? Like there's, there's some guy that used to own Sears, which is out of business now. He has a yacht called the Fountainhead and he would tell everybody it was my yacht.

And so everybody thought I had a yacht. And they would all ask me to come on my yacht. And I was like, I don't like boats. I don't have a yacht. It's just not what I would do. Yeah, just not at all. But you have other things. Yeah, I've got the houses. I've got planes. Oh, you have planes. That's way cooler than yachts. I don't know why I'd ask you that. Yeah, because planes. Wait, so you don't fly economy? No. You don't know what a non-stop flight is? No.

Yeah, I do. Okay. Well, you have something that Drake doesn't. He doesn't know what a nonstop flight is because he's poor compared to you, though. I mean, you know, for me, you know, the plane is about saving time. But I love it. Yeah, I love it. Yeah. It's my best toy. How many do you have? Including the Mavs, three. So I have 757.

for the Mavs. I've got a G5 and a Bombardier 6000, I think it is.

Can I, will you fly me somewhere? I've never been on a private plane before. No, of course not. So maybe we'll do a podcast next time. Next time we do a podcast. We should have done that this time. That's way cooler. Yeah, but it's a pain in the ass to get the whole thing set up. But next time we do a podcast, we'll do it on my plane. That would be really cool. That's a deal. And then also, can we do another time where I just go on your plane? Maybe. Like somewhere cool, like the Cayman Islands? Maybe. That could be fun. Yeah, take the kids down to the Caymans. Yeah. Or leave them at home. That's a good idea.

That'd be fun too. That'd be fun too. And then bring all your single NBA players. Whatever you need. That could be fun. You know. Maybe next year for my birthday. The same time next year. Like every year. Yeah, every year we should celebrate our birthday together. Come down here to Laguna since you're here and I'm here and we're all here. And then where do you go to catch your plane? Um.

John Wayne Airport. Oh, that's amazing. I go there too, but I do what the poor people do and we wait in line for the Spirit Airlines. I know. Take your shoes off, all that shit. I hate to miss that at all. Yeah. I would love to not do that. So I'm excited. Do you think that I have to go to New York next week? Can I use your plane? No. Okay. I just thought I'd shoot my shot. It doesn't hurt to ask. Yeah. You could have said yes. I could have. You still can. You can say yes. I won't.

Why are you smiling when you say that? Because it's better than frowning. I won't. Okay, that's true. Now I feel like you're being mean. But maybe you could let me. Why? It's a hassle. It's expensive too. We're friends. We share the same birth date. I know. We're getting close. Yeah. So let's just... Someday. Let me take your plane with me to New York. Someday. Do you want to see me on Spirit Airlines?

That'd be kind of cool. Well, then you come with me. Maybe I wouldn't have a problem with that at all. Okay. Then come with me. Maybe we'll do the next podcast. We'll go like somewhere that we know nobody's going to go and there's no one else on the plane. That's not how it works. You don't just go on planes with no one on it. No, but you know, like if there's a 3 a.m. you know, red eye from, you know,

you know, John Wayne to Des Moines, Iowa, it's not going to be packed. Right. So is that how that works? I've never been on a plane that was empty. Yeah. You've never like private. Of course you have all your plane. When I fly commercial, it's not like I haven't flown commercial. Do you, but when's the last time you have last year? Why did you do that to yourself? But you flew first class. Um, did not.

It wasn't available. Okay, that makes more sense. I thought, yeah, I was like, you wouldn't choose that for yourself. No one would choose that for themselves. It still sucks. Do you have bed on your plane? Yeah, but I don't like to sleep on the bed in the plane. What do you like to do? Just pretend you're like poor and sit in a seat the whole time? No, there's a TV screen and so I'll watch movies or whatever. Okay. It's like we have Wi-Fi so I can do all that.

You keep trying to get out of my podcast. I'm just getting comfortable. You have Wi-Fi? What's that? You have Wi-Fi? On the plane, yeah. Yeah. It's good Wi-Fi. On your plane. Yeah, that's one of the perks. Yeah, you have to pay like $20 or $40 to get it on the flights I take. Yeah, but it's expensive on a private plane, but yeah. It's expensive. How much? I don't know. That's the good part. I don't have to know. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, that part is nice.

Do you want me to be your personal assistant? No. Why? I have one and she's been around a long time. I can work with her. I know, but she'd get really, really mad if I did that. But you're not firing her? No, but still. Okay. She's very territorial. But you're going to be a podcast. I know. I'm just trying to figure out how to book myself flights on your private plane.

You know, when the podcast grows, if you're helping to make all my companies lots of money. I will do that. You will or won't? I will. Okay. Then maybe that's a good reason. Please purchase his drugs off of his drug site right now. Costplusdrugs.com. Yeah. Purchase all the drugs. See if you're going to sell and get advertisers. Costplusdrugs.com. Okay. Please go. And do you have like a referral place that people can put? How are they going to know they came? How are you going to know that? You won't.

You won't because we haven't spent a nickel on advertising. I know, but I want people to know that I sent so you know. When they sign up and save money, then they can just comment under your podcast and just say, hey, thanks for connecting me to Cost Plus Drugs. Can't please do that, you guys, because I'm trying to fly private. That's the way we do it. Costplusdrugs.com. Yeah. Costplusdrugs.com. And when you go to markcuban.com, you'll see like...

I've got a whole bunch of different companies. Okay. And only shop at companies that Mark Cuban owns because he will probably invest in my podcast if you do that. You know what? That's the way to do it. See? Okay. That's good business. Thank you. Yeah. So when you help companies sell more stuff, whatever it is they sell, you're going to get them to advertise because they don't want to lose the sales that you generate for them. Okay. Yeah.

And then I'm going to fly private. And then you'll be able to fly private. On your plane. On my plane or your own plane. What's better? Your race. Because you're going to be a billionaire, right? One day. Yeah, for sure. I will be a billionaire one day. One day people are going to crop this clip out of this interview and they're going to be like, oh, look, she manifested it. Do you believe in manifesting things? No. What? Why? No, I believe in setting goals for sure.

Why not manifesting things? Because I think that's bullshit. That's not fair. I manifested this podcast and it worked. Well, we also have a great agent that I'm friends with. No, that's not. He didn't help. He helped with your episode. He hasn't helped with anything else. Oh, okay. Nope. I'm not big on manifesting, but I am big on busting ass and grinding. Yeah. Well, I manifested where I am not today. That's good. If it works, that's all that matters. Okay. And I'm manifesting.

What's your next manifest a private plane private plan? I'd love to fly private sometime. You'll get there for sure Yeah, hopefully next week so I don't have to look at it. It could happen. Yeah, I am and what happens if it doesn't happen That sucks, but then does that mean man so far so far none of the stuff that I've manifested have like has not come true Everything's come true. So that means you will be on a private plane next week. Mm-hmm And if it doesn't happen, does that mean manifesting doesn't work? Yeah, unfortunately

Well, then I'll give you a call and I'll say, can you please, please, please, please let me. To make it work. Don't let down my manifesting, right? I think you'll let me. I don't even really know what manifesting means, to be completely honest with you. But if it works, right? Yeah, I just say things a lot. But I do believe in karma. I absolutely believe in karma. Is that why you try to be a good person? Yeah, for sure. And I think that comes around and however all this shit works, it can't hurt, right? Yeah.

Are you religious? Not really, no. I wouldn't even say I'm really spiritual. My attitude is I have no idea how it all works. That's true. But if you're a good person...

things will turn out. That makes sense. I'm religious. Oh, you are? I don't know. I don't know either, but I also, if there's a God, I want him to know that I never doubted him for a second. So let's see if there's a God, I figured he's going to know exactly what's in my head anyways. That's true. And so you don't, I don't need to go someplace to tell him or her that, you know, it'll be figured out. Yeah. I just try to do the right thing when I can. And it doesn't mean I always do, but

At least I try. That's good. Yeah, don't you try? To be a good person? Yeah. Yeah. See? And you got to be when you got two young kids, right? Yeah. There's a lot of shitty parents out there. Yeah, but I mean, but you're smart enough that you can kind of try. You think I'm smart? Yeah, I do. Well, that's so nice of you. Yeah, you're welcome. It's like the nicest thing you've said to me all day. Yeah, it's because you were mean to me early, so I have to kind of balance that out. I wasn't, though. You started it off being mean. Like, I think the first thing you said to me was that I look like I was 40 years old.

Well, to me, that's young. So you're standing by that. No, I was just playing. I look 40. No, not a day over 25 years, 358 days.

Thank you for doing the math. I feel better about that now. That's nice of you. What do you see for yourself in the next 10 years? Are you still going to be working? Yeah, just because I like what I do and I like having an impact and I like disrupting things. Having money. Yeah, I mean... I guess the money won't go anywhere if you stop. But you know what? It's not about making money anymore because my next dollar is not going to change my life. That's true. I would love to feel that. Yeah, I mean, but...

But it's more about my kids because that's frightening. I think you've made enough money for them to also be separate. It's not even about that. No, I'm not trying to. It's not about making money for them. It's just about hoping things work out for them, right? I'm sure there's no possible way, no scenario in which things don't work out for your kids. I don't know. There's a lot of rich people with fucked up kids. And they're good kids. But you just never know. Yeah. That scares me. I don't know.

Would almost bet my life that your kids are fine. I'm hoping, my wife hopes, but it's terrifying, you know. I mean, just look at all the things you think about with your two kids. Yeah. You know, what are they going to be like? And everything you see in them, you kind of project into something else, right? They're doing this and that must mean this. And, oh, I've got to be careful about that. And, you know, that's part of the job of parenting. And it doesn't matter what you do or don't have. That terrors with you, you know, no matter what.

And as they get older and they leave the house and then they drive, what's the country song? Next thing you know. Are you going to sing it? No. But you know what song I'm talking about? No. You have to sing it so that I can sing it. Sing it. Next thing you know. Keep going. That's the only word I know. Words I know.

That's really good. I can tell you really like that song. Yeah, I'm not really in the country, but my kids are. You sound like you'd be in the country. No, I used to be ABC. You have like an accent that sounds like you should sing a country song and you should sing it well. No, I used to say ABC, anything but country, but now my kids have kind of got me into it and they play it all the time. And so, yeah, there's the song, Next Thing You Know. That's really good. As a parent now, you'll listen to that and go, okay, I get it. I hope that happens to me. Yeah.

I don't even know who sings it. Yeah, you're not a country fan at all. But you really do sound like you live in Texas and you sing country music. I know, it's weird because I grew up in Pittsburgh. Why do you do that? Why do you get a country accent? I don't know. I don't think I do, but my friends sometimes think I do. Have you ever heard a Pittsburgh accent? No. Where are you from originally? Here. California, LA? California, yeah. Yeah. So in Pittsburgh, they'll say like, Yin's guy's going downtown, hanging around Southside.

Cheech yet? I don't even know what you just said. I said you guys going down to the south side and hang around, and did you eat yet? Okay. Cheech yet? That's not how I would, I would never have got that. That's Pittsburgh accent. Okay, and why don't you have that? My mom did. Are you making up your accent then right now? No, for real. A Yinzer accent? Yeah, Pittsburgh accent. No, you're making up the Texas accent. Oh, no, no, no, no. And why do you have that? Because I've lived in Texas for a long time. How long?

Since I was 24. So you just took their accent? It kind of grew on me, yeah. Does your wife have one? Yeah, she grew up in Texas, yeah. Oh. Do your kids talk like you? Hers isn't real bad, no.

Do I what? Do your kids talk like you? I feel like you need like a toothpick in your mouth right now. Cowboy hat. I'm not country at all. You sound very country. If I closed my eyes, I just picture you. For real? Yeah. No, I'm not country at all. If I close my eyes, I picture you with a toothpick, a cowboy hat. I'm just being chill, that's all. Yeah. And you work out. What's that? You work out though. A lot. Not enough sometimes, but yeah, I try to. I don't. Yeah, you can get away with it. I can't.

I thought you were going to say it looked like I don't work out. No. But it's okay. Thank you. I can be nice. I just, you know. If you want to be. If I want to be, yeah. Yeah. Why do you work out so much? Just trying to stay in shape. Trying to stay alive. Yeah, try to stay alive. That's a good point. And just, I've abused my body for a lot of years. Now I've got to make up for it. What did you do to abuse it? Played rugby, played sports, you know. Drugs? I've done drugs. I did drugs some when I was a kid, but not so much.

When was the last time you did drugs? Oh, God. Decades ago. There's no cops watching this right now. You can just say it. Yeah, for real. Yeah, I had some friends that really got fucked up, so I was just like, no, I don't want to go in that direction. Oh, that's good. Yeah. I'm glad you don't do drugs. Do you smoke cigarettes? No. Have you ever? Probably in my entire life, 10 cigarettes. Do you drink alcohol? Not as much as I used to, but yeah. Yeah. Bud Light, Tito's, and soda. That's kind of my go-to's.

Do you drink? Like separately or all together? Just depends on the night. Like you put Bud Light with Tito's and? Yeah, kind of like side by side. Like in one? Oh, I thought you meant like you mix them in a drink. That's kind of gross. What do you drink? Whatever is handed to me. Not like from strangers.

I don't drink drinks from strangers. That's smart. But whatever is handed to me, like people just hand me drinks sometimes and I drink them. Like where do people just hand you drinks? I don't know, like a bar? Just people hand me drinks. What bars do you go to? I don't know, it's been a minute since I've gone to a bar. You haven't been to a bar? Well, you got young kids. I have little kids, yeah. That makes it tough. I mostly just play with them every day of my life. It's pretty boring. Really? Yeah. Have they gotten into the Wiggles yet? I don't think they're relevant anymore.

The wiggles aren't relevant? I thought I just saw somebody was telling me about their kids. Nope. I don't think so. Oh, the wiggles were a blast. No, we're all about Peppa Pig. Peppa Pig, yeah. Peppa Pigs are a jam. I don't really get to do anything fun of her because I just hang out with my kids every day of my life. Yeah, that's the way it works. They're fun until they're not. I co-sleep with them. That's okay. Do you? I used to. When do they stop sleeping in your bed? My oldest daughter...

probably when she was six we couldn't get rid of her my middle daughter really wasn't into it and my son probably when he was four or five and my middle daughter is the most independent in that way my second daughter is the same but my first daughter is never gonna ever become a one person she could just sew herself to me she would sew herself to me it's fun yeah then you'll miss those days but um I just got a tattoo of her

right before I came here that's cool those are my kids oh those are your kids that's cute yeah it's the back of their heads why the back of their heads because I don't show the front of their faces and then I was like I'm not gonna put the front of their faces on my arm because then everybody's gonna see it yeah and I would have to hide that every time so I got the back of their heads on me so I could just have them you know because they're like little sisters um that's cute thank you I appreciate that yeah

Do you have tattoos? No. Why? Just wasn't into it. Like when I grew up, your dad had tattoos and his Navy buddies had tattoos and like the old men had tattoos. It wasn't... Why don't you get one now? Just not into it. You don't want to get a friendship one with me? Nope. Why? Just not into it because everybody's got to get the tattoo. Are you judging me? No. You be you, right? I don't care. But just not my thing. You're different. Yeah.

Yeah, I like to. You're not like everyone else. Exactly. I was mocking you. I know. Okay. Glad you know that. Yeah. Get a tattoo, Mark. I don't want a tattoo. Loosen up a little bit.

I don't want to get a sleeve, get a sleeve. I would look pretty cool. What would the sleeve be of? Just a bunch of random stuff. Just random face. Your face. Could you imagine? Just right there. I think you should do it. Could you imagine coming home and my wife going, what did you just do? Who's face? You can put her face on there too. It's like Bobby's and Bobby's on one arm and you're on the other arm, baby. Yeah. Why not? I really do think that you should get a sleeve though. No, it's not my style. Before you die. Before I die. Before I die.

Nope. Not going to happen. Just one sleeve. Not even a half a sleeve. Some neck tattoos. No. Why do people get neck and face tattoos? I don't get that. I want a neck tattoo. Why? Because it's cute. A little butterfly right there. It's maybe a butterfly, but yeah, just not my thing. They're fun. Just like right all over. I'll have my kids draw some on me too. I'd rather just take a pen than I can clean it up when it's over. Just get one. Nah, not going to happen. Okay. Okay.

Can your kids get them? It's up to them. I mean, they got to make their own call. But yeah, I wouldn't like it if they got tattoos, honestly. But that's up to them. That's good. Yeah. I'm going to encourage them, too. If you guys are watching this and you're Mark Cuban's kids, you should get a few tattoos. Don't look at your kids like that. You're trying to intimidate them. You can do it, guys. I said so. What is that? What is that face? It's my intimidating look. Yeah.

I don't think it works. It doesn't. I don't think that's ever worked for you. No, no. Well, Mark, you're a very stingy billionaire. You haven't offered me anything today. Nope. Nope. I've offered to help you. That's true. I've offered to help you. Okay. And since I don't do manifest, I didn't like barge in on your manifesting. So you get all the manifest energy. Okay. That's helping. Okay. Um,

But you could just help way easier. You could give me a billion dollars right now and it probably wouldn't even affect you. Yeah, it would. Fine, $5 million. We'll go small. $5 million. I could buy a house in Southern California. Yeah, but then you'd have to pay all those taxes. I'll pay the taxes. I promise I'm not going to complain about the taxes. But you don't have any revenue from your podcast. I will eventually have revenue from my podcast. But what if you don't? Then they take the house back and I gave you $5 million for nothing.

Mark, let's just see what happens. No. Let's just try it. I'm protecting you, Bobby. I'm protective like that. We're friends. We're birthday soulmates. Okay, well, can you buy me a designer bag? Real one? Obviously. Why obviously? Why would you buy me a fake one? You're Mark Cuban. Because no one's going to know. I don't know. Would you buy your wife a fake designer bag? No, she buys her own stuff. Yeah, she's really independent. Okay, so buy me one.

No. Yes. No. Yes. No. Okay. Well, thank you, Mark, for coming on to my podcast today. Is there anything else you'd like to tell the listeners? It's been fun. It's been different. It's been interesting. I liked it. Okay. Thank you. The fun, the different and the interesting. I think you could have left without that. Maybe try that again. No, it's good. That's a positive. Oh. Yeah. Because I mean, I've done lots of interviews. This is very unique. I like that.

Thank you. You're welcome. I'm glad you saw on the floor today. I'm glad I got that offer. I hope that you find some billionaires that want to invest in my podcast. I told you I'd help you though. You will? Yeah. I told you I'd help you. I told you I'd help you sell. Okay. You figure out which one of the companies that could benefit that you think fits your audience the best. Okay. And I'll show you what comes next. Okay. Deal? Let's make each other richer.

I'll make you rich. No, I don't want to make that commitment because you'd be like... You already said it and I'm going to cut it after. It's just going to be, nah, I'll make you rich. How much do you edit this? All the way. I can make you say whatever I want you to say. I've had that happen too. So you're just going to make me rich. And with that said, I'm out. No. And with that...

What do you say on Shark Tank? Oh, for those reasons, I'm out. Yeah. Okay, let's start over. And for those reasons, I'm out, Mark. Actually, can you say that to end it? For those reasons, we're out. No? That's good. Is that a good take? I think that's a good end. Okay. You can try it one more time and then we can be done. For those reasons, we're out. Yeah, we are. I had no money to invest in it to begin with, but thank you, Mark, for coming today. I'm sorry.
