We are live in studio and we are joined by the Mavericks co-GM, our new friend Matt Ricardy.

Hi, Matt.

Here, we got to get you right into that mic there.

There you go.

There we go.

As long as you can hear yourself really well, then you know you're talking loud enough.

Perfect, perfect. Thank you're talking loud enough. Perfect.

Perfect.

Thank you guys for having me on.

I'm excited to be here.

No, it's awesome to finally meet you.

And since you're a local kid guy, we're a kid, still young.

But tell us about where you grew up and your little Mavs fandom when you were little Matt running around here.

Sure, sure. I actually, I have a story for you guys about that. My sister still lives in Plano. I have an 11-year-old nephew name Dominic and a 9-year-old nephew named Sullivan, and they listen to the show with my brother-in-law all the time. So I got a phone call today from my sister that said, the boys are so excited to tell you, this is the best thing you've ever done. And I said, really, going on the ticket's the best thing I've ever done. We went to the finals a few years ago. I was in the back when we got Cooper Flagg. She said no. They said they're more excited about this than

anything in your entire life. So I wanted you guys to hear that first and foremost.

Incredible. Good. Good. Good. But yes, to your question, Plano, moved here when I was

in sixth grade. I think I was 11 years old.

From where?
