Join with Ryan Blackburn and Mahalai Sports, their senior Nuggets writer, as well as the host of the pickaxon-roll podcast, 900 episodes, Strong and Going. Ryan was back at the evening and night to make sure that Vinnie Benedetto and I both get ill as he has been, which I really do

So thank you, Mark, for coming up. It's always appreciated when everybody stops by, including my guy, Dr. Van Nostrand, who also pops in every now and then and always always very excited to see everybody there.
