“I didn’t expect one…She won’t reply to me for coming on to the podcast… every time you(Horry) reach out is for the booze (Cincoro).”

Horry claims that he does not just contact for a bottle of Cincoro but also for something much more important: tickets to a Lakers game.

“First of all, I don’t for booze, I reach out for Lakers tickets. I reach out for something more important.” He further adds, “If you get Laker tickets, you can go on the back and drink some booze. It’s same thing…two for one.”
