Hey, there's the moment of Brian Copman. Thanks for listening. Dominique Wilkins and I recorded

0:07.0

a podcast together a few days ago. It's awesome. It's coming up. You'll hear it. But when I saw

0:13.4

what happened to him in Atlanta on Friday, I just felt like there's no way we could do this without

0:18.1

giving him the chance to talk about it. And man, do you want to just walk us through what happened?

0:24.8

Well, you know, it was very unfortunate, Brian. You know, I've been to a lot of restaurants in my

I'm dressed better than half of the guys that came into this restaurant that day. Now,

1:41.7

this is the kicker. And this is reason why I said it felt racist to me. Yes.

1:46.4

There were three white guys coming in with shorts, t-shirts, and sneakers on. They say, give me a
