Mark Cuban

There's nothing to discuss here.

Mark writes, "Was that-"

And when Nick Saban runs out of that tunnel.

Ah.

I don't, I don't want him.

"Was, uh, that Jimbo in the driver's seat?" Just kidding, Mark.

That's funny.

I, uh, [laughs] I didn't see that last hour.

Yes.

like famously has been a little over the blank check policy, right? That's why Mark Cuban likes giving money to Cignetti because Cignetti doesn't ask for blank checks.

He's like, oh, I got to sign the number one transfer portal class.

He's like, I need these guys for this reason.

And Mark Cuban says, okay, cool.

But that's not like...

Phil Knight, especially as Nike's value has decreased pretty dramatically over the last few years.

Mm-hmm.

That's why Mark Cuban likes giving money to Cignetti, 'cause Cignetti doesn't ask for blank checks.

And he's like, "Oh, I gotta sign the number one transfer portal clause." He's like, "I need these guys for this reason." And Mark Cuban says, "Okay, cool."

Yep.

But that's not, like, Phil Knight has, especially as Nike's value has decreased pretty dramatically-

And then in 2008, all the NBA owners approved the relocation, 28-2 vote.

And it was only Mark Cuban from Dallas and Paul Allen from Portland who's voted no. They're the only two teams who were like, no, no relocation.

And when Cuban was asked about it, he's like, Because it was all this dodgy, oh, I didn't know they were going to do that.

It's like you knew you were selling it to people who were going to move the team.

market rate 750 in it sorry 350 and at that even even

it's a bit low for that team So yeah, it's all those sort of things that you come up and you go, wow.

Mark Cuban famously bought Dallas for 250 million and sold it for 3.3 billion.

You know, the market has massively gone up.

Look, in terms of leverage trading, options is the higher level of leverage trading that you can execute on and profit from.

Big players in the planet Earth, like Mark Cuban, sold his company, but he really broke through to the level of the billions through options trading.

The reason is you can get much better leverage and exposure.

And with options trading, especially if you're trading in crypto, volatility is no longer your enemy.

Justin, GM, appreciate your patience.

Uh, yeah, not a question.

Um, actually comment about something earlier, but first I'm going to just do a quick, uh, Mark Cuban fact check, uh, because, uh, his first billions were, were, were made, uh, due to my brilliant Indiana Hoosiers.

Um, he started broadcast.com, uh, because he wanted to listen to IU games when in different States over the internet.

but that is not solving this problem.

TrumpRx is essentially what I would call a referral platform, meaning that they use products like, they use companies like GoodRx, they use companies like Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company, and they essentially just work like an Expedia where you can go on and you can look up something and then it will refer you outside of the TrumpRx portal to prices that aren't being negotiated by TrumpRx but are already being achieved by other companies in the markets.

So you said how many hundreds of millions of dollars were being pocketed, the difference between the generic and the brand drugs? 200 million

in Ohio? Yeah, so pharmacies were getting paid, let's say, $5 for dispensing a drug to a Medicaid beneficiary.

Okay, I'm running.

You can see Mark Cuban.

Okay, I've got to run for president.

We can't have her be our nominee.

Coscov and co-founder Thomas Rufaleck moved the business to Binghamton to grow it through the Kauffman Southern Tier Incubator.

They were backed by significant investors like Mark Cuban.

Since moving headquarters and production to Chickawaga, the Empire State Development Corporation has invested as well as the Northlands Workforce Training Centers to provide workers.

The company still has some of the startup atmosphere with a small team of six to 14, depending on orders, all wearing a lot of hats.

And it's just like, yeah.

Well, I was going to say, Carson, you know, one of the things that really impressed me personally about our first time we had you on was, you know, and I've used this analogy before, but if you watch like Shark Tank, right? What's the first thing Mark Cuban wants to know? if you went out there and hustled yourself, like he, he will take some, at least this is my perspective is that he will take some young guy that is out there beating down every damn door to make his business work.

Versus somebody is like, look at me, you know, and I've got all this money and all this stuff.

And that's a trend with him.
