Hello, Mr. Danny Aange.

Hey guys, how are you today? We are doing well. Your phone sounds fantastic. Nice. How does the Black Card, Chipotle Black Card, work? Do they just continue to charge and put more like money on it? Or is it just where you walk in and is there a limit to what you can spend at any given time? Yeah, yeah, it's just one entree. Oh, that's it? Yep. Well, if you want a beverage, you got to lay into the wallet for that? No, no, like you can have a beverage and, you know, like just, it's one person's meal. I can't pay for the whole front office. Okay.

There was a picture that came out. Was it you? Which player did you bring to Chipoli? Was it Kyrie Irving? Yes. Yeah. Okay. What do the players say when you say, let's go out to lunch? And it's not like a super nice restaurant. They walk in at Chipotle. Are they thrilled or otherwise? Well, you know, so I started doing this in the draft process and would give players choices of lots of different places from nice

restaurants that, I mean, but the players were picking places like Chick-fil-A or Chip-fil-A or

Chippo-Lay or Be Good. I mean, they would rather go someplace that's not, you know,

junk food, but faster food. Is that, does that say something to you in the draft process?

Is that part of how you scout them? No, I mean, my kids do the same thing. I mean,

these guys are 18 and 19 year old kids coming in through this process. So our players are the same thing. I mean, these guys are 18 and 19-year-old kids coming in through this process.

So our players are the same way.

They, with a few exceptions, but I think the older they get, the more they want to,

they would prefer to go to a nicer place.
