00:18:01.000october 29th at 2 p.m eastern on nbc back to the program here's a question too you had
00:18:08.360life changes a lot probably yeah for sure i don't know how this goes obviously but when you when you
00:18:14.580change from a a multi-millionaire to a billionaire and as you continue to want to like build and and
00:18:20.340you know increase your net worth was there ever a moment along that journey where you looked back
00:18:26.940and said damn i kind of missed that more carefree period in my life where i was just having a good
00:18:31.960time and things weren't as pressurized not so much from a money perspective just from a social media0.97
00:18:36.640perspective right because you get to that point where everybody knows who you are and everybody's
00:18:41.140taking pictures of everything you do target yeah you're just a target for everything and so someone
00:18:45.660took a picture of me uh yesterday at a restaurant and uh they they there was a girl that was like
00:18:52.920two feet away from me walking through the same door frame that i was like standing in and they0.98
00:18:56.140accused me of cheating on my fiance with her yeah yeah it's just dumb shit well that was my it was0.96
00:19:00.560mike's girlfriend like your girlfriend like mike was in the back there's a picture of way back when0.98
00:19:05.020we're in the finals right and so um there's dirk's girlfriend sitting next to me and i
00:19:10.860purposely knowing there's people around was leaning back like this then all of a sudden
00:19:15.960there are pictures everywhere you know mark cuban not his wife just come on everywhere and
00:19:22.340it's dirk's girlfriend and it's just like always see you're a professional so it's got like a real
00:19:27.620professional so it's got to be a little bit harder for you because when it happens to us
00:19:30.680like we'll just play into it oh no look do you know what i said i responded to the picture and
00:19:34.780i was like this is so messed up of logan to do to me yeah you know what i'm saying i said i will
00:19:40.080never forgive him for this and that's now that's blowing up on twitter people are like is the beef
00:19:44.900real right and you just go with it right you just go with it right yeah for sure for sure yeah some0.99
00:19:50.860of that you know you know first of all twitter x is just such a cesspool now right shit show it's0.99
00:19:56.140a shithole right you can't you can't win no matter what everything like less and less and less less1.00
00:20:00.760time elon fucked that shit up right badly fuck that shit up but you know instagram still chill1.00
00:20:06.040tiktok still chill and there's other places right that aren't so bad where you can mess with people0.99
00:20:10.100and have fun um but you just can't do it on on twitter that this x conversation is is important
00:20:15.440because you know as the conversation around like real radical free speech continues to like carry
00:20:21.900on here i mean that's kind of what you have there and and more so he probably elon would probably
00:20:28.780say this isn't the case but it seems to me that algorithmically the bad stuff is elevated oh i
00:20:35.600read that shit right i'm a tech guy yeah right so maybe they changed it but i'm like okay
00:20:40.160you know because i was giving elon some shit about it so that yeah and so i mean let me just0.98
00:20:45.240look at because they they open source their algorithms to their credit and the way it works0.98
00:20:49.120It's called a nearest tree or something like that algorithm where if you are a big user on X Twitter, then and you have a lot of followers and those followers engage with you, then all the shit, not only not only your shit gets elevated, but all the people you engage with get elevated.0.99
00:21:08.060So when Elon interacts with some of these crazy fucked up people, their shit gets elevated and the people that they talk to, their shit gets elevated.0.98
00:21:17.200that's that tree thing right that i've noticed it i noticed it when i when i because sometimes1.00
00:21:22.240your for you page turns into a shit it's a disaster and i'm not going to claim innocence0.98
00:21:26.160i've certainly have watched some of these school fights or or played into some of these conspiracy0.99
00:21:31.140theories when i read them because like you and i've seen it from you the frustration that exists
00:21:37.700inside of me for the past 10 years watching this continue to just snowball yes is is massive and i
00:21:43.560know that it has been with you and it's tough like it's like five you know three years ago on
00:21:48.920twitter right you could engage with somebody and it could be real right and there there can be an
00:21:55.540in-depth conversation where people are like okay you know i'm learning something i'm giving
00:22:00.280something i'm getting something that's a win-win now oh my god you say anything and it's just like0.98
00:22:05.960fucking trolls come out at night right and it's awful what's the solution um elon has got a0.97
00:22:13.420take himself out of the algorithm and i posted that to him you think he's that he has a player0.99
00:22:18.240is that powerful him he has 160 million users and in this the the algorithm is designed to
00:22:23.820amplify your biggest users and the people that they engage with so if he just says okay extract
00:22:29.060myself from the algorithm then you know when he says excellent or interesting or whatever the
00:22:33.600he posts right because he knows that that shit's just it backdoors everything that happens on0.92
00:22:39.660twitter and he can claim non-involvement because he's just writing this is an interesting stat but0.97
00:22:45.540just by doing that doing that it's promoted it's promoted everywhere and then the people that0.91
00:22:50.460promote with that post that promote with that all that shit just it just amplifies and gets0.84
00:22:55.800amplified and so if he just said you know because he still has 160 million followers so if he post0.99
00:23:00.100160 million people have a chance to see it but you just don't want that shit influencing what0.92
00:23:05.000gets seen by everybody else what about a a forced uh identification system where people that would0.98
00:23:13.080kill his business he can't really i thought i thought i saw something that people want to charge0.89
00:23:17.040a dollar yeah to make sure that you're not boss no that's bullshit right i i think if if people0.99
00:23:23.460have to actually be people and the human that is behind the tweet is revealed because they have to1.00
00:23:29.260i agree with you because then they can't you know you can't be anonymous yeah you can't be a pussy0.99
00:23:32.780and just sit there and talk shit yeah you know because people know who you are right um i agree1.00
00:23:38.520that that would help but it would kill his business but there also was a there's a fucked0.99
00:23:42.000up point here in that there was a verification system that yeah that he then that wasn't perfect
00:23:48.940but it worked it wasn't perfect but it worked because at least when you saw that blue check
00:23:53.200you had some especially if it was the name you knew right right because this is logan this is
00:23:58.680i know that they're real right and now anybody can buy one and and and it's you know and you can0.99
00:24:03.940then claim and it's eight bucks you know so if you just want to fuck with people for a month right0.92
00:24:08.240you pay your eight bucks and then what happens is it moves you right to the top so when you go look0.72
00:24:12.840down in someone's mentions you see all these people that paid the rate dollars that you know
00:24:17.380i'm gonna tell you something else and i can't prove this but i think that he's doing um i think
00:24:22.680he's taking um old abandoned accounts that you know count someone opened in 2015 and hasn't used
00:24:30.720since 2015 and turn them into bots to amplify the number of users he said he was fighting right well
00:24:37.540yeah because but he controls them right so his bots they're his bots army of bots i'm guessing
00:24:43.620right i don't know i'm guessing but when i when i went to um the world economic forum that's what
00:24:49.820we were talking about oh you went there oh yeah you know what i did oh my god here's another
00:24:59.160question do you think that now especially that that uh x has become monetized and you actually
00:25:06.000i'll be honest you actually can make it i made two grand one month yeah because something took
00:25:10.260off yeah you can make a and for like the average person who doesn't have that level of wealth
00:25:14.660right um do you think this elevation of of hatred and just kind of nasty rhetoric that we're seeing
00:25:22.780is less representative of elon's algorithm and more representative of like a systemic issue that
00:25:28.960we as people have you know i don't think twitter is real world oh certainly it's yeah it's not
00:25:34.560no i think you know when you get on twitter it's like there's all kinds of gyms you can go work
00:25:41.140out at if you get go to an mma gym you're getting into one type of workout right and you're going
00:25:46.720to expect someone's going to hit somebody someone's going to get hit right you go to jojitsu
00:25:50.720different type of work you go to a regular gym play ball different type of workout you know what
00:25:54.840you get when you go to twitter great analogy right and you know and now you see what threads
00:25:59.400is doing to try to compete it's not there yet but there's better engagement on threads there's just
00:26:04.400not as well as much wide of breadth of of expertise right on twitter you can find somebody
00:26:09.260who knows something about everything right and still and on threads and on the others you can't0.97
00:26:14.560who wins elon or zuck in that box in that fight kicks his ass you know that i mean you know if0.94
00:26:19.320you know um if you have the skills right in within that um whatever what's he do jujitsu yeah yeah0.94
00:26:27.040yeah but he also does striking i think yeah so i mean a while but you know if if you know the
00:26:32.680actual sport and you've been trained in the sport you're going to take on somebody who's not been
00:26:37.420trained no matter what the size difference is what was i gonna say sorry about that no i just
00:26:42.060i just thought that we're talking about the illuminati and how the illuminati yeah and how
00:26:45.840elon got me kicked out twitter uh internet's not real life threads threads twitter elon
00:26:52.440jim oh it's gone by the way i like your shirt i just i want to say this really quick this is a
00:26:58.780very very limited edition worn lotus what dallas mavericks that says dallas don't break i wore this
00:27:05.360specifically for you mr i kind of figured yeah yeah i kind of figured i wear i wear it from time
00:27:09.760to time but i felt like today would be a great day to wear it i mean you're ready for you got a big
00:27:14.480season coming up yeah you guys ready yeah i think we're ready if we stay healthy but the the whole
00:27:19.400nba is just so good now the level of talent in the nba over just even the last six seven years
00:27:24.660has just exploded the even the worst teams like if you compared the worst teams in the nba now
00:27:31.100versus 10 years ago, the worst teams now would be, you know, playoff teams easily 10 years ago,
00:27:37.020just because that's where social media has been positive. Like anybody who picks up a ball or in
00:27:42.220any sport, right? You can just watch anything you want to watch on social media and learn, you know,
00:27:47.600moves, you know, how to handle the ball. You know, you see guys like even in football, right? Wide
00:27:52.700receivers, they got to do the one handed stuff, right? And they get the gloves and the stick them.
00:27:57.400i mean you didn't see that stuff 10 years ago and so social media has changed the ability to
00:28:02.380improve your skills and you also have like like jiu-jitsu right you can get trained watching
00:28:07.200videos to a certain extent on social media 10 years ago you couldn't do that so you think the
00:28:12.880level of skill in the nba has has and that makes the whole league tougher that's so that leads me
00:28:18.040into a good question michael jordan lebron or luca greatest of all time all totally different
00:28:26.660I think I knew you were going to answer
01:44:07.660I hear you can almost hear the eyelashes hit each other.
01:44:10.720You've never seen Italy so quiet as when the Pope gets up to wink on Halloween.
