Today we have a very special episode, taped Sunday in Dallas, Texas with the Young Dallas

Mavericks.

This is Cooper's first ever podcast, as he made sure to let us know before we started taping.

There's a lot to get into with these three.

All three have pretty amazing journeys.

Cooper's had all the hype in the world, and I think as you guys are going to see has handled it about as well as possible. It's pretty amazing how mature he is for his age.

I really love getting into the weeds with these guys on the season, on their backgrounds,

on everything in between. I think you guys are really going to enjoy. Without further ado,

the Dallas Mavericks, here's Cooper Flag, Ryan Nemhard, and Max Christie.

Fellas, this is a crew, a little squad. I have some trading card questions for you,

but I'm curious with you guys in general, if you had a favorite road city hang-wise this year, that's been like surprising to you. Is there like a restaurant? Is there like a place? Is there like a thing in the road where you've been like maybe golf, but just being like, yo, I'm looking forward to this trip. Arizona, Phoenix for me this year, a lot of golf there. Did it let it rip? Yeah, it was fun. It was a good vibe. It was beautiful out there too. Phoenix was nice. Toronto. Toronto is a great. I love Toronto. I love Toronto. That's like a different for you though. Yeah, no. I had all my friends out there, a bunch of family. It was like my birthday two days after. So Toronto was a great vibe for sure. I would say Boston. Same thing. I had a lot of family in Boston. How far is Newport from Boston from the city? It was like three and a half hours. What was the, and you did the Larry Bird. You did the commercial came out right before, right? Yeah, like, I think it dropped either the day we played them or the day before or some, so yeah, it's pretty cool. Like, the Celtics fans, they're like dope fans. Like, what percentage of the crowd do you feel like was like Maine people? There was a lot. There was definitely a good chunk of main fans, but I mean, I think even like some of the Celtics fans like they know that I was kind of you know a Celtics fan growing up and you know kind

in the umbrella so So, you know, I felt a lot of love for sure. I want to get into some, you know, background stuff with all you guys. I want to start with you. You know, I know your brother. He's an interesting character. very confident, very confident individual.

For sure.

What was growing up like with you two?
