0:00.0 | It's the amazing RICO Bronia podcast with your host, Evan Roberts. |
0:05.9 | Welcome to a very, very, very special edition of RICO Bronia. |
0:13.2 | Because today on the RICO, we honor a legend. |
0:16.5 | We honor a captain. |
0:18.8 | We honor one of the all-time greatest to ever wear a New York |
