When you buy a car, let's be honest, you want a good deal and not get taken for a ride.

0:05.2

The entire Genesis of Brooklyn family, more luxury for less money, transparency, and Brooklyn family values.

0:11.5

That's me. That's my guy, Michael. Tell him Sid sent you. Genesis of Brooklyn. Find him at Genesisof Brooklyn.com.

We put this time aside every Friday. He's tremendous on the air. Dear friend of mine for 48 years and the best defense attorney anywhere in the world today. The rugged and handsome Mr. Army, Joseph Tocopinna.

0:32.4

Good morning, buddy. How are you?

0:34.6

Congrats, brother. On so many things. First, the 10 year anniversary. you. And, of course, this last interview was phenomenal. I mean, the fact that you got Melania, who doesn't really give interviews. No. It's really, really, I think it's a watershed moment for you. And it's really great. It's just, you know, and the star continues to shine. Yeah.

1:11.7

No. Thank you. Yeah, I mean, the president is one thing. He talks about everybody, but she, yeah, she turned down just about everybody. So thank you. Much harder interview than the president is Malani. Believe me. Much harder. Yes. Much harder. And I was happy, she was happy. Like I said earlier today,

1:17.2

I would much rather John Cots Matidis be mad at me than Margo. You would much rather me be mad at you than Danielle. So I'm glad that Melania, her people already contacted us and said she loved

thing completely down. What did you think when the Rangers traded Panarin to the Kings

1:50.7

a couple of days ago? Look, I had no problem with the notion that they had to trade Panarin. He's

1:56.4

34 years old. He's at the end of his contract, right? What I had a problem with is how stupid Chris Drury can be. Because, and I spoke to Pete about this the other day, you know, you don't announce to the world that, hey, we're not going to resign him, no matter what. Right. Oh, but let's negotiate a trade. I mean, your leverage went from A to Z in two seconds. And that's the problem with this guy.

2:18.9

Every time he wants to release him by like Trouba or Criter, he puts out these league-wide memos

2:23.5

basically reducing their value to almost nothing. And, you know, although I got to tell you,

2:28.5
