Mark Cuban

Yeah, yeah. Or whatever covers he was on and just whatever, right? And I just remember walking through there and afterwards... It was a nice meeting and we had some follow-up calls and everything, but it never went anywhere in terms of the online stuff.

But I just remember thinking to myself, if I ever become visible or famous to that level, don't let me get so caught up in just having pictures of myself. And I'd had conversations with my buddies about it, just like you guys would. And so then in 2004, I got a chance to do a show called The Benefactor. ABC called me and said-

This is all online. This is all on, on X. People try to fuck with me on Twitter. They throw this up. So anyway, so when I got the gig, um, he was like, congratulations, good luck and everything. I was like, thank you. And whatever. And then when I got canceled, he sent me that letter basically saying you suck. And so, um,

Yeah, it was not a beef, but it was just like... That's what it was. And so it was just like, okay, whatever.

There's a lot more in between. Okay. So that's 2004. 2007, Eric reaches out to me and goes, hey, there's no hard feelings with my dad or anything. And I'm like, no, I don't care. He goes, we're working with these Russian MMA fighters, this guy named Fedor Emelianenko, who was like one of the best ever at that point in time, and Josh Barrett.

And kind of the irony of all this is we were competing with Dana, Dana White, and the UFC in some respects because a lot of fighters felt like they weren't getting paid enough. There was no health care. There was no nothing, right? And so I had a TV network.

We had started the first all-high-definition TV network called HDNet back in 2000, back when TVs cost $20,000 and everybody thought we were idiots. But slowly but surely, it was taking off. And so they came to me and said, we're partnering with these guys who are putting on this MMA fight with Fedor and Josh Barrett and some other folks, and we'd like to broadcast it on HDNet.

Because we had a show called This Week in MMA. So we were promoting. We had fights that we were already putting on every Friday night. So it actually was a good fit. So you'll see pictures of me sitting with him. And actually, I couldn't find it. I was so pissed because I was going to with him some more.

What he said during the time we were sitting at that podium was everything Mark Cuban touches turns to gold. And so I was like, that would have been so great to have out there. And so, and anyway, so we're friends again.

And so it's 2007 and we're friends and nothing happens between then until whenever he started going crazy on Twitter and all the Obama stuff and everything and the birth certificate and the birth stuff. So he's on Twitter and He started with me. I say that. So let me just preface this by saying I golfed once in my life in 1989 and I hated it so bad.

I was throwing clubs because I'm one of those really super competitive guys. I'm like, never again. But I went and worked. I auctioned off myself to be a caddy at a golf tournament that he also was at. But he starts tweeting that I saw Mark Cuban and he swings like your girl and this and that. His swing is like your girl. Like, nobody saw me swing because I don't golf.
