Hope you were you had other things to do in town. You didn't fly in just for me. But I would
fly in just for you. Thank you.
I only say Don't keep a billionaire waiting. But what w so what else are you doing in town?
Um I've just got some meetings for Costplus Drugs. Just out there just talking it up and just Cosplusdrugs.com company I'm doing.
Oh, I know you're big on that. I I mean, I'm always going after the pharmaceutical industry. I don't know if we're going after them for the same things. I'm certainly on your page for that too. But I I'm always on the tip of It's a bigger problem, which is that America uses too many pharmaceuticals, turns to that solution. Don't get me started on COVID or do.
Mm-hmm.
Either way. Um, I don't know where you are on that. Uh obviously people needed lots of people were saved by the vaccine and needed the vaccine. Right. Um and some people didn't need it. And uh don't want to be told what to do and every medical intervention is a very personal choice about your personal health. So, you know, I don't know if that's all in your thing. I know you just want to get the cost down, right?
Yeah, I mean, you know, the fact that people have to make a choice between rent food and medication right is just wrong.
Well, I would always pick medication. No. You know, y sometimes it's what works. What do you drink?
Just bear. That's all you drink? Pretty much now, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I hate beer. See I I'm just like a a sip and enjoy and some people see my problem is I have two speeds, on and off. And so if I go I go. Well, then you crash? No, I I just go too hard. I'll just do stupid shit. You know. So Oh, you're talking about doing drinking. Yeah, just drinking, right? I mean it's not like I'm not just a let's do one shot. You know, let's have one You were
that way all your life? Pretty much. Yeah. Really? Yeah. I don't picture you that way. Like up until how recently?
Up until probably my kids got to be teenagers and it was more about the example. How long was that? Um j my kids are thirteen, sixteen, and nineteen. So it's it's still going.
I mean you are still capable of
Oh yeah, I could go hard. Yeah. I mean I own a basketball team.
Most guys go hard and so I can I know, but they're so much younger than you. That's why they can. So you party with them?
I have. I mean not as often as I used to. I mean Yeah. I mean I used to take pride in being able to keep up.
Isn't that hard to get close like that and then you might have to trade 'em or you don't care?
How do Bill Maher and Mark Cuban discuss personal habits like drinking and drug use?
No, I mean 'cause it's a business. It's like you transfer somebody to another office. You know, they're still gonna get paid. It's not a good thing. That
is such an interesting way to put it.
Yeah.
You're transferring someone to another or
fifty players in the league at the top level, right? Right. And they know they're one of the four fifty. So it's not like all of a sudden they're out of the league. They're still getting paid and it can be disappointed for a Well it can be disappointed you're
phasing people out of the league all the time. That's it's a Darwinian That's why we love sports is because it's like everything else in the country seems to devolve away from meritocracy. Right. For reasons that are somewhat an valid and sometimes very valid. You know, it it it's all different, right? But sports but sports you play to win. There is no there is not one I never doubt that those four fifty are the best four fifty.
And it's insane. I mean everybody's played basketball at some point. And what other industry
can say that? None. Certainly not the sociology department. No, no, no academic institution
anywhere could say
that. Or or really almost any institution.
No, for sure. Right. I mean, whether it's government, whether it's a major corp corporation, academic. There's so much bullshit these days because you have to have people who manage people who, you know, try to watch out for people's feelings and it's just
I have no doubt that those are the best for a fifty. But the rest
That's been an expensive topic for me. And if you were seen I could find a lot or yeah, but if you were seen our game last week.
