You're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven to one creak al right, seven thirty eight in the morning Wednesday, you're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven when the free We got ben AND's Skin and Christina from ten to two this afternoon Speakeasy, that's the midday speaks in the afternoon from two to six. Oh, Skin's back or what he had a wild adventure? Yeah he's with the team. But yeah, anytime here in his U behind the scenes stories
and everything. Different perspective on the MAVs. It'll be juicy with with those boys. Today we got Mike Marshall, the Machine. He works for the MAVs and he is a very knowledgeable basketball man. He'll be joining us at eight forty five fu an hour from now. We're gonna talk some more MAVs in that segment. The eight thirty segment we've got dingus morning news moved up a half an hour eight o'clock for you. Watching a new show on Netflix
that I cannot wait to tell you about real quick though. Tomorrow is the NFL Draft. Can you believe that's thing snuck up on it a little bit, Yeah, a little different than our previous spot. We are going to have some uh some freak personalities on site somewhere to cover the draft and do the draft. And I believe you've got Calves and Kevio tomorrow night at Grapevine Buffalo Wild Wings. All right, yeah, all right doing their very unique
and uh all all encompassing draft coverage. Dude, those dudes are good. They're incredible as much as we uh jay around when we get down to it. Those you know, Kavanaugh's obviously amazing with all things cowboys, and so as Kevin Man. They work hard on the draft. I was in Vegas and Kevin was sending me all these prop bets on draft positions and bet this guy over seventeen and a half, you know, like what position they would get picked, and he was just freaking out. So the dude was in
Italy working on it. So he'll be back tomorrow. We'll definitely do tons of cowboys tomorrow. But we don't do cowboys all day every day on this station, all right, even though we should. Apparently, I don't know, we're too busy doing the scuttle. But I'll pay off the teas and I want to get too far into it. That's brought to you by somebody, isn't it scooty booty. It's Avast hair restoration. That's some of the advanced fue game changer your own natural hair growing back the very next day.
Fast hair restoration been with us a whole way. Man, appreciate them and check it out. If you want to change your life, a dancer restoration can do it for you. I talk about the study thing that I watch. I just want to do it right quick. And it's nothing that you don't know already, but like, if you could do one thing in your life and almost eliminate stress, not eliminate, but incredibly lower stress, anxiety, just general feelings of happiness. There's a fifty fifty year study or a
comprehensive analysis of things for fifty years, and it's essentially just sleep. And it's the easiest one. And I know, you know, for us in this job is tough, but I've done this as almost my New Year's resolution for many years. And it's not like you know, you're not like saying go to the gym three times a week and get the loutfit on and sweat your ass off, or stop drinking or things that are really you know,
maybe harder the more obvious things. Yes, yeah, Neil. The cheat code in this whole world is to sleep more, sleep more, and drink more water. Yeah right, yeah, yes, seriously you do those two things. It's almost like saying breathe more air. That's another one focused actual deep breaths. How often do you just really think about breathing and take in as much oxygen as you can four or five times in a row. When you focus on your breaths, when you're just kind of like normal breathing,
you're just kind of going, well, take in very little. You're rarely are you filling up your lungs to their capacity. But yeah, deep breathing, water, sleep, Yeah, of course, get out, walk. But it's almost always the simplest answer. Don't eat food that comes in a bag for every meal, right if you can help it, Yeah, breathe more, breathe, walk, drink water, sleep yep. And I think it not maybe not eliminate all the not suggesting it will eliminate the mental health
problems that are going on, not at all. But it ain't gonna hurt, it will help. And and this again, it was a fifty year study where there are more than fifty years of studies, analyzed all of them essentially and release one of the largest ones that uh, psychological bullets, and release them all and it's like, just get more sleep. That's the big one. It's not just you're tired, which obviously it would fix. More positive emotions, joy, happiness, less likely to feel anxious, Just sleep
more, prioritize it. You'll be good. All right on A I figure we can do this here. It's a I don't have hypothetical if you want, and I know you saw my tweets yesterday and maybe if JJ didn't, i'd like, you know what, let's put JJ on the stand. Uh. Steve Balmer is the owner of the La Clippers, all right, you know that bald, sweaty guy. Yeah, it's all worked up, always fun, good gifts. But he's one of the richest dudes in the world.
He's the tenth give or take tenth richest man on planet Earth and as of right now on Forbes list that updates like but real time Tracker, which I don't know if they just factor in shock stock share prices or how they do it. As of this very instant, he's worth one hundred and twenty one point four billion dollars. Now, I know Danny saw this, so he can't think clearly, and I want you to I can't think clearly. Hey, try more sleep, Try more sleep. I was watching the game
last night. Try a five pm tip off, MAVs, I'll get more sleep. I was thinking, would I rather have the net worth of Steve Balmer or the net worth of every single person in attendance at the game last night? What was his networth? Again? One twenty one billion, one twenty one billion. There's no way everyone in that building will equal to that. There's no way you want to include players. Oh that's okay. Now.
Originally I, in my head eliminated players. But I may have done it too flippantly because I think your initial reaction is very good, JJ, and you are correct. Yeah, well I think you're corrected. I'll I mean, I try to do a little a little bit of math for Cubans in that building. He don't play. That's true, Yep, that's exactly right, Garrison. So I did. I did the quick math because I was just thinking the people in the arena. I looked up crypto dot com
capacity and it's about nineteen thousand people, and I will say. The first thing I checked had Bomber's networth at one hundred and nineteen billions, So let's go with that and just eliminate two billion dollars that he's made, probably while we were all asleep last night. Crypto Arena capacity nineteen thousand, So each person would have to have about six point three million dollars of net worth to
make the attendees side win that game. Six point three million. Now there's no you know, there's no chance, right, I don't think so when you have it per person. But then you think, all right, somebody's sitting with Steve Bamer's probably his billionaire friends, you know, maybe a family member next to him worth a few billion. Somebody then said Miriam Addelson is apparently in attendance. She is the new owner right of the Dallas Mavericks mm
HM casino Magnate. Her net worth is thirty billion dollars. Mark Cuban was at the game, who's right around five billion dollars. I'm like, I mean, that's thirty five billion right there, So that obviously lowers that six point whatever million that every person needs to be worth by a ton. But I still don't think you're there. So then they said, you know what, screw it, let's change it. Let's give them every player throwing the
jocks throwing the jocks. So now the question is, would rather have Steve Baumer's net worth or the net worth of every single other human that is in that arena last night? I still don't think even adding the players would do it. I think you're right, I don't think so. I'm taking that bird in the hand. Yeah, I think. Now, if we're talking about NFL players, they're making like one hundred million, you know, well, there's more of them, more them so I did baseball, but there's
more of than too. I wasn't gonna do this last night while I was watching the game, and that only be two distracted. But I looked up the player's career earnings, not all of them, and you got some big dogs on these two teams, specifically, let's go with Harden and Westbrook have each made about three hundred and forty million dollars each. But it's pretty funny when you start thinking a million versus billion, how big that damn gap is?
Three hundred and forty million each. Paul George has made three hundred and five million in his career, Kawhi two hundred and seventy six million. Those are the monsters on the Clippers. Kyrie has made about two hundred and seventy million in his career. Luca's right about one to ten. Right now, as far as career earnings, now, that's not necessarily even their net worth, you know, yes, I don't know. Do you think a doubt
it's that's not their net worth. It's way less than that, right because you talk to talk about all the money they've spent, yes, but then offset that by uh, you know, endorsements, sure you know, and everything they've done there and potential investments. We don't know. But if you just add those six dudes who are the six horses for career earnings, that's only about one point six billion dollars. That's not getting you. That's not
getting you there. Yeah, So if you add in another billion right in career earnings for all the other dudes on the team, I just threw that in, and maybe the coaching staff. I mean, you need Jason kids entire networth in there. I mean, Penny Marshall famous, whatever, I mean, you're looking at Billy Crystal, Billy Crystal right all right, what do you think Billy Crystal's networth thirty maybe, I don't know, less than one hundred, yeah, twenty five, twenty. And it's funny, dude,
everyone knows, all right. I mean a quick search as sixty million, sixty not helping you, No, it's not, I don't think, Okay, And then I looked at that. There's seven hundred and fifty six billionaires in the United States, so right now we know there was three of them in the building last night with Balmer, Adelson and Cuban. Yeah, I don't know. Let's say there's another three or four billionaires. They're they're
just supporting the chippers. I still don't think if you add the net worth of every single human in that building and put it up against Steve Bambers, I think the right answers is team Steve Balmer. Still, I guarantee you most of those fans couldn't afford those tickets. They're probably paying them off. Yeah, yeah, they're not like, oh yeah, a few thousand here now they're paying those tickets off. Yeah, a lot of regular folks, yeah, mostly, But in the lower bowl in LA, I mean,
you could have a couple other billionators and you could. I mean again, if you're looking at your baseline needing six million dollars per person in the crowd, there are probably a few hundred people in there that have more than that as their net worth. Wouldn't you say that half the people that were in that arena probably aren't even sniffing half a million? Yeah? No, yes, yes, Well those are only celebrities that were the Billy Crystal and Penny
mart celebrities there. I think they're the only celebrity Clippers. Fans like the clippers and they go way back, So yeah, I don't I don't see it. But even then, like, who cares what celebrity would either you're not talking about billionaires. We just did a list to the billionaire celebrities. There's only a whatever ten of them or less. You got to have a
good handful of billionaires in there. I mean you have to and even five billion, and I mean because Mark Cuban five it's crazy to sounds still okay, And someone needle someone tweeted that that we the three of us and everyone listening is closer to the the net worth of Mark Cuban than Mark Cuban is to Steve Balmer and it's not even close. Crazy, and I think I looked it up. You need twenty four mark Cubans in there to to to equal. Uh what Bomber's up. Yeah, it's just fascinating to think about.
You know, give me Steve Bomber. Yeah, you're absolutely right. I don't know. It's fun. I mean, you can't go wrong either way, right, Yeah, but you're in a biding with nineteen thousand out of a one thousand, for so twenty thousand people, including NBA legends. It's kind of emblematic of you know, our population. I know, it's a kind of a cross cross section, a microcosm of the wealth disparity in this country, I guess this world for that matter. Someone said, do
you think Mark is jealous of those higher billionaires? I mean probably, I don't know. I don't know. Did you get to a point? I don't know. I mean it seems like if you've got a billion, you want two billion, If you got thirty, you want sixty. I mean, I know that there's only so much money you can spend and so many things that you can do in this short life that we have in this kind
of small grain of sand in the galaxy. But it isn't It typically just more about who's got the bigger wiener, right, figured, the bigger figure figurative wien. You're at that point. It's got power and perception and how you're viewed. Said, you might need to take everyone's combined lifelong income to have a shot. Yeah, no doubt right, and kind of what we're doing with the NBA players life insurance in there. Yeah. Well so yeah, someone else said, your net worth includes a debt, which hurts us
up top. But I guess all these billionaires have a lot of debt too. We're going to do it all that money. I don't know another thing we learne. We also learned that Penny Marshall died six years ago, and we we mourn her. We're including her trust fund. Yeah she left, Yeah, her offspring, she gave her her ticket. Look up celebrity Clipper fans. God, I don't know, okay, y g Queen Latifa, Penny Marshall play, okay, Adam Devine, Anthony Anderson, whatever, they
ain't helping you. Yeah, you would need Jay Z and and and they would just be adding one billion, you know. Yeah, none of those names were even close. No, no, give me the you think he ever sits and thinks that that I can buy and sell everybody in here. I know he knows that, and I think if you have that much money for that long, you probably don't have those thoughts anymore. But that would cross my mind, be like, I have more money every single person in
this phone. You guys, calculator app out. I had to go to a different calculator too, because the default calculator starts throwing the letters in there, and I'm just like, get rid of that. Okay, we we we know now Tenny Marshall's dead was her net worth? We'll include every dead Clipper fan in this hypothetical we get their net worth anyway. That dudes are rich and he's very sweaty. What was the overriding what were the overriding replies on your tweet? I would say it was bomber, right, yeah,
but it was actually fun because people were providing. I didn't know Miry Maddison was there, and that's thirty billion that team crowd would very much need just to give him a chance. You know. God, the celebrity Clippers fans is a really funny. It's like an E special, you know, where they put a bunch of b listers in a house together. Yeah right, look in real life, yeah, yeah, exactly. Do you ever do that? It's sort of akin to this game that my teacher did to us
in high school, which you guys probably have had as well. And they give you this hypothetical, do you want two million dollars or would you rather? Oh? Yeah, for the course of a month, you know, you would get one penny on the first day, yeah, and they double it every day, doubles every day. Yeah. And I was definitely one of the idiots who raised their hand and said, take the two million dollars. Now, on my defense, I'd be getting two million dollars pretty good.
But if you take the penny, because people me included obviously don't understand compounding numbers. If you take a penny on the first day, right, and two pennies on the second day, and four pennies on the third day, if you do that for thirty days, then you get up to about five point three million dollars. Right. It's called I believe it's called exponential mathematics. Okay, that sounds like something I wouldn't understand or excel at.
Yeah, because most of the people that they're asking need money now, so of course they're gonna take the time. Like I need two million, I'm gonna take the two million, quitting the job now and just not working for a month, and that on the end of that month, I collect the check for five million dollars. Yeah. But yeah, but it's the same. I guess it's the reverse of that principle. We apply it to that hypothetical because even though you hear it all the time, we can't fathom what
a billion is compared to even a million. I love those graphics that they'll show to the stack of the stack of money, yes, with a million dollars, just so sad. Yeah, by comparison, it's nothing. The billion dollars will fill up the half of a semi truck, where the million dollars you can fit in a briefcase. Yeah, crazy, Yeah, somebody said us one. It's it's the it's smaller than a period. It's a
little dot on my screen that's one thousand dollars. And then you get to the median income of the US sixty eight thousand, it looks like a you know, a slightly larger dot. And then a million is about a quarter of an inch little green strip, and then you scroll to a billion and it's I'm still scrolling. It's a block the size of my entire screen. And then if you want to look at one hundred and eighty five billion of Jeff Jeff Bay. I mean you've seen these, but you know I love
these. That's a thousand, that's a million, that's a billion is incredible. That's bezos, and my figure is going and I don't even know. Jesus, that's nothing longer than I thought. Oh my god, I have to get a new computer. Look at that the whole way unbelievable. Rich people be rich. That. Yeah, that was a cool scuttle butt. Dude, thank you. I liked it. Don't worry. Kevio shall return tomorrow to deliver a proper scuttle butt. Don't you worry about it. Uh,
we got the morning news coming up next. We're gonna do it a little bit earlier so we can get right back into some sexy MAVs content with our good friend Mike Marshall, otherwise known as the Oily Machine. We'll do him at about eight forty, but coming up next, maybe Kevio's flight wouldn't be such a disaster if his pilot had done what this pilot did. I want to talk about a new show that just dropped on Netflix that everybody needs to see, And how did the new Taylor Swift record do all that?
Next ninety seven on in the Freak
