DeAndre Hopkins: It's a little bigger.

Marcus Rivero: I was about to say, it’s not decimal points anymore. It’s got like commas. Send me a picture of it. Now think of like Boys and Girls Club. What is the first thing you think of?

DeAndre Hopkins: Some of the sickest of shoes that you'll ever see. Flag football, that's a big deal for me. Boys and girls, which is dope, and we was talking financial literacy. So, the piggy bank, which is the most important thing. Save your money.
