Cedric Mullins is hurt. Starting pitching prospect Grayson Rodriguez has been an early fail for the starting rotation. John Means return has been delayed. And the Orioles bats have been colder and arms have been taxed. Dennis Koulatsos and Nestor discuss the normal headwinds of a long MLB season in a real pennant race.

Nestor Aparicio 00:00
A couple of U N s t tests Baltimore Baltimore positive hope youโre setting a dial out there on your am radio dial for us weโll be doing the Maryland crabcake Tour presented by the Maryland lottery got some instant lottery scratch offs gave a bunch of Weigh in fallston last week at the local had fancy Clancy on got to wear my fancy wind donation hat 866 90 nation and they just Colossus joins us now heโll be here on Thursday which comes a little earlier this week because of the holiday and all that heโll be here from 3am to five and again on Sunday as a part of the Sunday Sports was so much has happened since you and I got together I mean between the Mullins injury the Grayson Rodriguez meltdown the Baltimore Jersey City connect what all of that stuff was but more than that you and the good folks in the Ford Motor Company came together put am radios back in cars to make sure that they in 1570 lives so I knew that I knew there was something off the record I would have
Dennis Koulatsos 00:55
been definitely lobbying for that to happen didnโt see any any signs of wisdom to pull am radio for from for vehicles and cooler heads prevailed and common sense that in and because of 15 7am W NSC Baltimore positive affords going forward weโll have am radios and you brought up we had our lobby we
Nestor Aparicio 01:17
pulled our lobby together next up my press pass called Chadโs steel.
Dennis Koulatsos 01:22
Next one, Iโm fancy Clancy. We were in Vegas last summer actually was September, mid September. And we ran it to fancy Clancy at a Vegas casino.
Nestor Aparicio 01:32
Imaginary and it was great. Heโs such a legend, right. And I had him on Yeah, and I didnโt know his whole story. And Iโve no Clancy my God, Iโve known him for 30 years. He did the shot pictures and doing the show with me back in the 90s he heโs an entrepreneur, among other things, you know, but But more than that, having the beer named after him and he came out I didnโt realize he started in 1974 Next year weโll be itโll be 50 years next May that he has been vending and the number one thing he talked about was being a he was a TrackSTar that gave him his strength to carry beer
Dennis Koulatsos 02:10
to you he currently attract coat at St. Joeโs.
Nestor Aparicio 02:14
You know he talked a little bit about that but more than that he talked about venting and love of the oils and it really got me like a little emotional because he talked about Adam Jones bringing him down on the field 10 years ago being a part of it. And I thought to myself because Iโm Iโm just playing this out and this is before the Mullins injury before Grayson Rodriguez and Chicken Little in the skies falling Elias is going to have to deal have to the the eight ball team away to get pitching here. But I think about that moment thatโs going to happen if they ever won a World Series I say if not win, because I donโt know that thereโs a win. Iโve been waiting long enough. I believe itโs an IF with the Ravens if they ever win again, if and and again. You and I may be different as to whether we believe Lamar is going to win or not. But there is a moment with this oracle team now where you say if things went right sometime maybe there we deserve it. Itโs been since 1983. And I think that myself, who would I feel the best for it wouldnโt be John Angelos or Mrs. Angeloโs or any of these or Mike Elias are nice people getting paid to do it. The people that I would be the most excited about, I think the ghost of Bob or Bill Hagee, you know, the people that Dearly Departed, who died not having seen the Orioles? One it wonโt mean as much to me as it would have meant to me had they not throw me out the last 17 years and behave in the fashion they have and I wrote the Peter principles. But I think then who I feel the best for. I promise you now after seeing Clancy sit next to me and see the glimmer in his eye. I would probably feel better for him than maybe anybody. I mean, he is spin at every game out there venting beer. Like look, Jones has been out there, you know,
Dennis Koulatsos 03:56
he doesnโt all you see him at Camden Yards. You see him at m&t Bank Stadium, right, we have to see him at Memorial Stadium hidden thatโs his gig for an awfully long time. And he is a legend. I mean, heโs got a following. Heโs got a legion. Heโs legendary.
Nestor Aparicio 04:09
And Iโm not just for being on my bus trips, either because he used to go on my bus trips all the time. So
Dennis Koulatsos 04:16
good guy, but again, part of the attraction of going to oral games. Always has been there with him. But now, all of a sudden, so Iโm getting a friend of mine and weโre calling and saying hey, letโs go to a ballgame. And thereโs some future games I have circled and itโs the calendar. The calendar is filling up. I mean, the interest is there. For the oils. Theyโve had some headwinds. Now they canโt seem to get the batch going. Theyโve had some injuries, some emotions, etc. But theyโre still very relevant that just a matter of time, I would think before the basket hot again,
Nestor Aparicio 04:44
I love your airplane reference when you say headwinds, because I get you know, headwinds. If youโre better to play him and oh, boy, bumpy, the one hijabi. Itโs itโs just not like a smooth
Dennis Koulatsos 04:56
tailwind. Youโre the one headwind tailwind much better so headwinds.
Nestor Aparicio 04:59
We learned, right, weโre gonna learn, because this is, you know how hard itโs been to play 700 Ball ever for any baseball team ever, and theyโve done it for six or seven weeks right now they lose the centerfielder. The pitching phenom prospect, they have to send it back for more seasoning. Everybody, heโll be back. Heโll be back. He might be back. You know what I mean? I never add. Thatโs like saying Lamar will be an MVP. Again, that was so five years ago. Like, you know, donโt, donโt tell me about what was itโs like Dennis has sold a lot of cars. But then it says to sell cars the next month, and the next six months and like what youโre going to do in the future to the baseball team. It to me, I have a lot of confidence in what Mike Elias has done in this sample size to say, theyโre not going to have this be undone that theyโre not going to be a 500 team and finish with 88 wins. I feel like that this is this is a good headwind. But this is something went wrong here yet a player get injured. You canโt figure out the rotation the bullpens getting taxed. This is where champions are made they have to figure this out.
Dennis Koulatsos 06:05
No, they absolutely do. And letโs see how theyโre gonna do it. Right. Letโs see whoโs gonna step up. But the offense getting going would would help the pitching I would think to write such a complimentary game, just like football, offense and defense, and they get those bats go and Nestor and the schedule doesnโt get any easier either, right? They had an easy enough schedule to start off the season with but now theyโre playing some quality teams. And youโre going to struggle when you play those quality themes.
Nestor Aparicio 06:32
Well, and you have to see where your depth is to when you take on an injury like they have with Mullins, what they have, you know, Luke and I talked a little bit about this. We just brushed the surface, but we didnโt get into it. And itโs more of a science experiment when and I trust the sabermetrics and all the nerdery that Luke is into in the math of all of it. But moving the wall back, okay, moving the wall backs it fine. Itโs good. They did it to attract, pitching and retain pitching. Sure, moving the wall back would move a small minded individual like Raphael Palmera, who once told me as a medium member, youโll love this. When he chased me with a bat. He told me I was going to put him into a slump. I still 30 years later, Iโm still like, Dude, you had a Hall of Fame numbers and no doubt you cheated on the game, amongst other things. He pointed
Dennis Koulatsos 07:18
the finger at you and said Nestor Aparicio, youโre going to put me into a slump
Nestor Aparicio 07:22
into a slump. He said to me, and I, myself have pointed finger, he did point his finger at he did with a bat. And the other hand, and Iโm sure he Davey Johnson was between us it was a whole thing. You know, Rick down, it was all up in front
Dennis Koulatsos 07:35
of the Senate. He did the same thing. He pointed his finger, but you say
Nestor Aparicio 07:37
you put the knot. Right? And everybody says, well, Rodriguez has the makeup. Heโs got to go figure this out. And Iโm thinking to myself, what happens when the fly ball that will be going out of and Palmer loves to point this out. That would have been out of any stadium that would have been out of Fenway Park, it would have been out of Jurassic Park Yellowstone, right. But thereโs a part where when they slump at home, they moved the fence back. I mean, they have three three home runs taken away over the weekend. It just kind of is what it is. But that plays into allowing your pitching to keep you in a game. Thatโs one than nothing in the seventh inning and you make it go the other way with a bad bullpen. But theyโre theyโve won a lot of really close games. And that would be the piece that you would say the data point that would say theyโve been lucky. Now can they be good? Doesnโt matter to me if theyโre played 650 Ball Memorial Day. I mean, this is this is a dream start to the season Something had to go wrong at some point.
Dennis Koulatsos 08:36
Well, I know they have a couple of prospects, the infielders Westberg I forget the name of the outfielder, but they have an outfielder of eight cows, right? Yeah, cows are there you go cows.
Nestor Aparicio 08:46
You know, I said the Luke worst thing in the world. This young manโs first draft pick you have comes up makes his way gets hurt, right as the PIP Gehrig moment happens for him they I think youโll be up a week from now. I think Mullins is going to be gone a couple of weeks I I would be shocked if we see him back before the All Star Game fully functioning based on the initial thoughts of his injury. And heโs really their case that a little bit of their Lamar Jackson. I mean, the Russians are best player. But Mullins has been their catalyst heโs been the guy that makes the engine go
Dennis Koulatsos 09:17
heโs been a spark a spark plug for sure. Right. Heโd been that energy in in the in the dugout and the outfield as well. Playing at a very high level track and either 3030 Man right?
Nestor Aparicio 09:27
Well, he might not be 30 home runs this year. Heโs gonna miss a month right? It makes it
Dennis Koulatsos 09:30
much softer. He is He might be at 2525 Man, which is still good enough. Gotta get him back in the lineup though, but hopefully, theyโll figure after starting pitching. Iโm like deal with Rodriguez. I wish him all the best, but Iโm not sure weโre gonna see him anytime soon. Apparently, that that rib injury he had that injury when he last three months last year really has affected his progress.
Nestor Aparicio 09:52
You know, that and COVID for all these players in any sense of normalcy for any of these 21 to 24 year role players who had COVID calm when they were 17 1819, freshman year, sophomore year, like, we all lived through it from a work perspective and where we were, but I canโt imagine being one of the guys trying to hone your craft in the middle of that. And more than that, like John means who really excelled there. And that, you know, really made a name for himself when there are no fans in the stadium through the no hitter, that he gets injured, injured, again, waiting on these guys, but but understanding that like, this is just such a better place to be in June. And I say this every week, and after a month with you. Itโs such a better place to be talking baseball in June, then just throwing it to you, as we have and said, Well, thereโs OTAs in the Lamar, watch, what have you seen on the MAR Dennis from this signing part of this, and I watched the press conference now that Iโve been thrown out, after 30 years, I watched the press conference is on TV. And I think to myself more than anything. And you and I talked a lot about this when he was holding the sign up and out on the internet and on Twitter talking about pay me pay me pay me, man, a king has been made in that building. And I donโt know, maybe Ray Lewis was the king at one point and then maybe Flacco after he got his money or whatever. I donโt want to say itโs dangerous. But boy, the amount of responsibility on him now where all of this sits on him. And thereโs no more second thought about his contract or any of that or who it is, like the amount of expectation on him not just to perform in January, but to be accountable in May and June and July. Itโs all sitting there now for him with all the money in the bank.
Dennis Koulatsos 11:38
It is and I wasnโt good to see I missed the first day of OTAs of course, but I get it some time guys have family obligations that prohibit them from being there at the very first day. But he was there the second day seems to be all in seems to be studying hard and absorbing the new Todd Monken offense and saw on social media. Heโs got a second child now and kids give us a depth as adults and hopefully things will sink in for him. Hopefully heโll be healthy. He seems to be healthier than he seems to be recovered. But he basically has a three year window and astrick a three year deal really is what it is. And three years to make hay. And itโs nice not to talk about the contract. Itโs nice to have the contract in the rearview mirror. He got his bag, he got paid. And now youโve got a solid defense. Right, great head coach, special teams, no excuses. This is a year. Iโve got a really good wide receiver room too if they can all stay upright.
Nestor Aparicio 12:32
Well, you mentioned a really good wide receiver and I said to Luke, as much as the Orioles have been on the front page and theyโve made news every day and thereโs now decisions their manager makes in the sixth and seventh inning with relief pitching and the organizational decisions about that that whoโs up and whoโs taking the starts and weโre like wherever we have real honest to god baseball conversation that built the station and built it built sports radio in the city when there were no ravens around and it takes some oxygen away from whatever press conference whatever injury whatever. Absence of stars or any of that stuff. But I still think with Lamar and the amount of oxygen it takes up that even when the Arizona Cardinals make news now all of a sudden itโs oh he wanted DeAndre Hopkins, we need to talk about that. In your mind, is that a serious thing that they would want another $10 million wide receiver like I am Iโm not convinced theyโre gonna be able to distribute the one ball they have as well as the fans on the internet or distributing it for Lamar right now. JK Dobbins wonโt like that. Neither will mark Andrews
Dennis Koulatsos 13:41
Well, thatโs the thing you only have one football Iโll be very happy if if Mark Andrews and say flowers are upright midway through the season. If obj is around, great. If Batemanโs around wonderful in
Nestor Aparicio 13:54
a second heโs a $15 million player. Batemanโs a number one draft pick if theyโre not a part of this, I canโt imagine this can be very good. Like
Dennis Koulatsos 14:04
they have Andrews theyโve got two other really good tight ends. Ze flowers looks to be the real deal. And to me, it doesnโt make any sense to sign another veteran over 30 with some significant injuries the last couple of years. It just makes zero sense to me not now Iโve seen people say well, itโs going to itโs not going to help the development of the young wide receivers. I donโt think theyโre worried about the development of young wide receivers theyโre trying to win now. Just how
Nestor Aparicio 14:34
not here this time next year this time he is he is a shooting star I mean heโs Steve heโs Steve Francis heโs a six as a rental heโs a rental property heโs all he is and thatโs where Patrick queen is now in his period of time that you could start to look at these guys knowing Lamar is number like just like you can look at Flacco and say well how long you think Boltonโs gonna be here? Really? Right.
Dennis Koulatsos 14:57
Iโm glad that Iโm very happy for him for that. And for the Ravens that Patrick crean showed up without any drama. Like he showed up. Heโs at the OTAs heโs gonna play and heโs gonna help himself just like all the other guys that did it the right way to keep that didnโt hold out they came in. And just like all the guys got paid next to playing next to Ray Lewis. Heโll get paid handsomely paid and playing right next to row Quan Smith. So glad to see that for him for him. But for Bateman and obj you just hope that the injury bug doesnโt hit those guys. Especially Bateman, right? Heโs supposed to be a wide receiver one. If he is a flower, it can be abrupt, right? Three quarters of the season with Mark Andrews with JK Dobbins in there with a healthy offensive line with a healthy Lamar Jackson, that yes, this team has a chance to get deep into the playoffs and do and make some noise?
Nestor Aparicio 15:47
Well, I donโt think thereโs any question. Itโs been a really good offseason for them in regard to what their roster looks like. At mandatory camp two weeks from now, the players theyโre going to put out on the field as he would always say, if we have to go play this weekend, we can. That being said they they got to install the playbook. They have a whole different way that they are going to go about doing this. Theyโre going to be asking Lamar to do things that he may or may not be able to do, right. I donโt know. I mean, I I think weโre gonna find out. Weโre gonna find out and find out. Yeah, and I think more than that, you look at the totality of the team, and where their cap situation is and where they have to your point. Theyโve put a lot of resources into catching the football. Theyโve put a boatload of financial resource into throwing the football, put a little bit of capital into running the football to you know, in that offensive line. That whole thing was built to run run run by and Lamar Lamar Lamar and, and Gus Edwards and JK Dobbins. And then you say all right, defense is on the field. Whereโs the pass rush? Whereโs the back end of the secondary? What did they really do to replace Marcus Peters? You know, they theyโve got a quarterback that they invested in, and Roxanne. Okay, maybe weโll see. But the back end and the rush on the defensive side. Now itโs Oh, Herbertโs on the schedule and the boroughโs on the schedule twice and Deshaun Watson theyโre actually practicing out there now. Theyโre gonna be on the schedule twice. So what is the defense going to look like on the backside and the row Quan Smith thing helps me sleep better. Theyโre a better football team with him. I mean, that was a move of brilliance last year, the draft pick. Even the money and Luke and I have we can disagree about Lamar all the time. And itโs all we disagree on rochlin I think I think they decided they wanted a quarterback for their defense and a real man, a real leader in the middle. Marlon Humphrey is not that guy. Heโs a great player, but heโs not the straw that thatโs going to thatโs going to serve the drink. Ro Quan Smith was brought in to be that Mike Singletary Ray Lewis clubhouse leader, they overpaid him they underpaid for him. I think draft capital they overpaid to keep him around. They talked about that being their biggest acquisition on draft day and that was 30 days ago, we got row Quan Smith, general manager said that I feel much better about their defense, but I really wonder whoโs gonna rush the quarterback and I wonder what itโs going to look like when hands are on hips, fourth quarter, and theyโve got to defend the pass.
Dennis Koulatsos 18:18
Well, I saw him on a hunt for he was here about a week ago. He looks really really good. Really good shape. Just a fantastic young man. Well, quants Smith, youโre talking about a future Hall of Famer, barring injury if he stays healthy, heโs got his best football ahead of him. I donโt figure things out. Right. They theyโre still going to pick up some players after the June of course cuts Marcus Peters I think is still in the mix. Justin Houston, youโre talking about the veterans but this roster still is under construction. So theyโre not done yet. They still have some moves to me.
Nestor Aparicio 18:47
Well, to your point, and thatโs why we talked about DeAndre Hopkins Right? Like they they have finagle cap space now through this Lamar signing that we didnโt speak about cap space in April, right. Like none of this happened until a few hours before the draft when they figured Lamar out and they figured out their circumstance right? So now that we talk about this, we have to say what DeAndre Hopkins is that provide more value for the team in November December or we just take Houston and or Marcus Peters or players that would replace them and I Clayโs Campbellโs that theyโre gonna miss him there. We talked about the heart and soul of the defense and where they are theyโre gonna miss him they need more guys like him.
Dennis Koulatsos 19:27
Yeah, I mean Michael Pierce was hurt last year he was hurt the year before he was hurt the year before that so to put stock in and I liked Michael Pierce nothing personal but the best abilities availability we set a time and time again and met a BK contract here, right. Heโs gonna have to heโs gonna have to show up. So you have a lot of guys playing a lot of things able to juggle and by the way,
Nestor Aparicio 19:48
I met a BK Iโm bullish on him being if theyโre gonna win next year, and when he he will be a guy who will get paid to your point. Heโs a guy that didnโt matter how he plays, heโs going to play really well. And theyโre not going to be able to afford him.
Dennis Koulatsos 20:04
Right? Yeah. And heโs a dude. Iโve met him before too nice, nice guy, but heโs like, you know, heโs not your typical Ravens. 345 pound, you know, round mound of he just, heโs a heโs a muscular guy. Heโs a twitchy guy. Heโs going to have a big season. But theyโll figure it out. Mike McDonald in the second year as the offensive coordinator, he figured things out after the first few games last year. Yeah, I liked your chances on defense, I like your chances offense, theyโll still run the ball people that make them make this mistake about misnomer about Todd Monken. Itโs not a itโs not a pass happy offense. Itโs a modern offense, he will run the ball. He will keep those guys from the ball effectively, as well as bringing a modern day passing offense to the Baltimore Ravens for the 2023
Nestor Aparicio 20:48
edition. Well, the quick pass game and the spread is what thatโs what weโre going to see here, right. Weโre gonna see Lamar and space, weโre gonna see Yeah, weโre gonna see spacing out of wide receivers and try and two steps off the ball fire try to make somebody miss a tackle. Weโre going to see that on first down in an effort to see second in threes and second and twos in the way that we did that running the ball before. I mean, I am convinced theyโre going to pass more now the effectiveness and what that means down the field for where obj has really made his money and where they believed Bateman would make his money right?
Dennis Koulatsos 21:29
Remember that offense air Coriell with with Dan Fouts and Kellen Winslow and in Charlie joiner, I
Nestor Aparicio 21:34
mean, time Jefferson, they
Dennis Koulatsos 21:36
had all those guys, Jefferson, they had a great, great offense. But that was a fun fun often to watch. And that a big running back who was it was a Tony Galbreath. Back there big strong running back. They were way ahead of their time. That was a fun offense. Well, weโll see that at m&t Bank Stadium because downtown to the Dr. Center Hey of the quick release and Hall of Fame career but
Nestor Aparicio 21:56
knowing Lamar can flick it. I mean, you know, you doubt Lamar is passing games, etc. And then he throws the ball over your head and thatโs why they gave him $53 million a year right.
Dennis Koulatsos 22:06
Heโs got a live arm. Heโs got a strong arm. And if we see Louisville Lamar, itโs going to be curtains for the rest of the teams in the AFC north. But when he Louisville Lamar to appear, not what we saw towards the end of the season last year before he got hurt.
Nestor Aparicio 22:20
Well, the one thing Iโll give them, passing grades on is changing things, moving things around, which they have not been afraid to do. And the Odell Beckham thing is that is the great wildcard and all of this because I they overpaid him, everybody else looked at it and said No, thank you. And they felt like this was necessary and and think about where they beat. But you would say some would say, well, Beckhamโs why Lamar Lamar signed for the money. I donโt think it had much to do with whether they had Odell Beckham Jr. or not that he was going to take this 180 $5 million. But But I would say for them outside of what they normally do, weโre not usually sitting here in June, talking about a free agent wildcard, rental wide receiver who is really being counted on to be a leader, right? I mean that they all talked about that when they gave him the floor and he came with his Hollywood production. Lamar wasnโt even here yet. And Lamar is tweeting about the press conference. We saw that thereโs a larger than life figure, a Shannon Sharpie, kind of not a rod Woodson, kind of leader, different robots Smithโs rod Woodson leader. Heโs a real leader. Heโs a real heโs a real leader
Dennis Koulatsos 23:33
by example, right? But versus by by his voice, right? But weโll weโll see
Nestor Aparicio 23:37
whether Odell Beckham is is Terrell Owens, or whether heโs golden, I guess for for lack of you know, right.
Dennis Koulatsos 23:45
The one thing ravens third but given obj that huge contract that messed up the market for for Hopkins, because now Hopkins wants a bigger big deal, right? pavements, grossly overpaid for Obj. So now DeAndre Hawk was just sitting around saying, whereโs my bag? So we
Nestor Aparicio 24:03
might be the one to give him the bag. Right? The the line right?
Dennis Koulatsos 24:06
Well, itโd be okay because itโd be turned around we fare places. I messed up the market for Lamar Jackson when the when he gave the john watson the same contract. So that would be ironically delicious and up, you know, it is what it is. Did they really
Nestor Aparicio 24:20
mess it up though? In the end? In the end? Did did Lamar really get more money because Watson got guaranteed an ethic ethic Lamar would have come up in negotiation, but I donโt think it would have gotten
Dennis Koulatsos 24:31
done. No, but it would have would have gotten done earlier. Thatโs all it would have been in the rearview mirror much earlier. And and who knows? Who knows? Thatโs all I can tell you just weโll get to see Lamar Jackson in a spacious offense. And weโll see what that looks like.
Nestor Aparicio 24:47
You need a PSL because theyโre all I can know where you can get one theyโve been offered it to me on my timeline if you need a PSL.
Dennis Koulatsos 24:53
I bet you thereโs a budget you can get a deal right about now Canโt you? You know what Sione is
Nestor Aparicio 24:57
my my buddy Mari Brown and I youโd listen Martyโs baseball Mari file is out in Portland, Oregon. He became a media member by in an honest way. He tried to get a baseball team for Portland, and figured all that out and got into the media side of writing about sports. And heโs covering this Oakland situation. And the Aโs moving to Las Vegas, in the Oakland Aโs performer that theyโre going to move to Nevada, theyโre going to sell PSLs for a baseball team that doesnโt exist that is about to lose 138 games so if Mr coons had a dealership in Las Vegas, would you be fronting dough for the Las Vegas athletics after and by the way the hockey teams in the Stanley Cup Finals? The football team still stealing everybodyโs money theyโve been there five minutes right look, I mean Vegas is on fire but PSL came up and Iโm like oh, thatโs so 9096 I donโt have okay that 2020
Dennis Koulatsos 25:55
I bet you they will bet you people will pony up Itโs Vegas baby. I wouldnโt have an interest because thereโs no water there I need I need some water
Nestor Aparicio 26:04
I wouldnโt be right over there you got good stuff all you need to Lake with some fishing and Iโve seen your act all I need man thatโs all I need give me a lake oh, letโs go out so sheโs here he will be here again on Thursday from three to five as well as on Sunday morning from eight until noon with the Sunday Sports was give me a car update just a not just that youโll have am radios in there which I canโt believe Iโd have to ask you about that at this point. But a lot of vehicles in now and a lot of changing tides with with percentage rates on financing right from 36 months right?
Dennis Koulatsos 26:38
Yeah, itโs a fantastic industry that weโre in the goalposts are always moving we had a fantastic weekend we delivered a lot of late model up pre loved vehicle lots of new vehicles. We got a ton of nice trade ins to Nestor though trade ins are hard to find these days but man got some nice trade some one and two and three year old vehicle that are just just amazing
Nestor Aparicio 26:57
people taking care of their cars during David right
27:00

Nestor Aparicio 27:00

Dennis Koulatsos 27:10

Nestor Aparicio 27:17
itโs our now dentists donโt tell anybody but if I put the camera in and Iโm not wearing pants Iโm not Iโm wearing no no no, no, no, Iโm wearing pajamas at this. Okay.
Dennis Koulatsos 27:27
Weโre glad you clear that up for us. We listened
