Transcription of the first minutes of the podcast:
– It’s a year before, it’s a year before, period.
– Sud Radio, rugby radio.
– There are a million of you, you are charming.
– Do you see what a million Armina already makes? Where is the money? Where is the money? In fact, I just withdrew some money.
– Friends, open your hearts, do not be afraid, money does not buy happiness.
– Shut up and take my money.
– He had a few days of vacation left.
– Antoine Dupont flew to Los Angeles to prepare for his return to the Top 14, and also to do some promotional operations, notably visiting the facilities of the Los Angeles Chargers, the Los Angeles American football franchise.
– One of the two franchises, since it is Rams.
– We are talking about the internationalization of this brand, because yes, a little bit of American football, yes, a little bit of physical preparation, Philippe Spangiro, but there is also a lot.
