Olynyk spent nearly two hours before finding the perfect, and most importantly, best-priced television.



“He was looking for a 60-inch TV and he found one,” Dower said. “It was a good price but then he was like, ‘Man, that’s a lot. I don’t know, bro. That is a deal, but that’s a lot of money.’ I’m like, ‘You’re a millionaire!!!'”
