Speaker 1: I don't know any of these.
Speaker 3: The guy that was in the James Earl No, yeah,
Speaker 3: of course, was that Mayhew. No, that's that was that Chewbacca.
Speaker 1: I know this guy. The guy's name Stephen Ogg. He's uh,
Speaker 1: he was in The Walking Dead. He was I don't
Speaker 1: know the character's name though, Zombie sixteen. No, he was
Speaker 1: a zombie at counter.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: He was like Megan's right hand man.
Speaker 3: Oh gotcha, yea, I know what character's name.
Speaker 1: I don't know anything.
Speaker 3: We gave up on that. It got kind of boring, yeah,
Speaker 3: and hard to follow.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: The non compete band is blocked by a federal judge.
Speaker 2: You remember last year BIDE administration ban on non compete
Speaker 2: agreements was set to take effect next month. The Federal
Speaker 2: Trade Commission this year banned most non compete agreements, which
Speaker 2: keeps employee obviously from leaving their jobs to work for
Speaker 2: a competitor. The US Chamber of Commerce and other groups sued,
Speaker 2: arguing the ban would make it harder for companies to
Speaker 2: retain talent. A district judge in Texas agreed yesterday. An
Speaker 2: FTC spokesman spokesperson said the agency is strongly considering an appeal.
Speaker 2: Non competes at.
Speaker 4: A stands for Fed Twade Commission.
Speaker 2: I get a non compete, as in you can't take
Speaker 2: your clients with you. But I just always thought non
Speaker 2: compete were ridiculous. We have you're firing me.
Speaker 1: We don't know compete.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't want.
Speaker 2: Me, but you're not gonna allow me to work in
Speaker 2: my industry for six months.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. We signed it. Hey, here's your
Speaker 1: no compete and we get fired. You can't work for
Speaker 1: a your OOKU. We signed it.
Speaker 3: Either that or don't take the job.
Speaker 2: No. Yeah, but I think it's uh yeah, but I
Speaker 2: think it's also it's cutting half if you don't take
Speaker 2: the severance.
Speaker 4: But in most cases.
Speaker 2: But I just always thought non competes were crazy, especially
Speaker 2: in radio and television, where it's like you fired me,
Speaker 2: won't let me work, you don't think I have any value.
Speaker 1: So you can't say anything negative about the company that
Speaker 1: fires you during the severance package. But day one after
Speaker 1: that severance package, window shuts.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Would you just go scorts to Earth on social media?
Speaker 3: No, no, you can't live like that.
Speaker 1: I would, I'd tell it all of course you.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, baby, had let our bosses know that now right, well,
Speaker 2: you know, move on.
Speaker 1: I'm going full on sports to Earth.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: You know what the Bible says about not forgiving.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's against it. It's again it again, it's again
Speaker 2: again it Uh. Okay, I didn't know you could do that.
Speaker 2: You can blur your home image on Google Maps.
Speaker 4: Huh. I guess for the paranoid.
Speaker 2: It's becoming trendy for people to blur images of their
Speaker 2: homes on Google Maps. People are doing this as a
Speaker 2: precaution against burglaries and home invasions.
Speaker 4: I guess.
Speaker 2: If you want to jump in the trend, here's how
Speaker 2: you do it. Users must enter their address and Google
Speaker 2: Maps and select street view. Go to settings and select
Speaker 2: report a problem. From there, users can request that Google
Speaker 2: blur portions of their house. It may take a while
Speaker 2: for the changes it'll be made.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna rob that blurry house?
Speaker 4: Where is it?
Speaker 1: You know what I hate is the way your information
Speaker 1: gets just put out there and then you have to
Speaker 1: opt out of it.
Speaker 4: Yes, correct, make it.
Speaker 1: I mean that's so to opt in in. Yes, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, my different stuff is out
Speaker 1: there than I.
Speaker 4: Remember the phone book.
Speaker 2: Ye give your damn address, your phone number, your address.
Speaker 2: It's like and then the old days they gave you
Speaker 2: your job like whatever, you were a baker, a butcher maker,
Speaker 2: and it would show that you're probably a single female.
Speaker 3: Hey, Shirley Wilson lives at one two three Maple Street.
Speaker 1: Yes, I just uh, I heard back from the people
Speaker 1: at h you know, from yesterday I had my catamine therapy.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, so I heard I heard in a very
Speaker 2: allergetic message you were sending.
Speaker 4: Yeah that yeah, and oh boy, what happened?
Speaker 1: They just it looks like Maddie replied back, you were
Speaker 1: perfectly fine yesterday. But I will pass this along to him.
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, yesterday was a little bit of a they're.
Speaker 1: Not going to tell you no, of course not right.
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, there's a level of inappropriate you
Speaker 2: were already.
Speaker 1: At all right, all right, absolutely if.
Speaker 2: You go above it a little bit, you know how hard,
Speaker 2: you know, how how bad could it be?
Speaker 1: And then my sister in law, poor Kathy Tyler Young,
Speaker 1: she was picking me up because Susan had some political deals.
Speaker 1: So I come to her. She's on the couch, so
Speaker 1: I start saying all these disparaging things, means stuff, all
Speaker 1: this horribly mean stuff to her, only to go, oh, no,
Speaker 1: it's that's not me, Kathy, it's the Kenemine, and that
Speaker 1: would start all over again. She was taking me up.
Speaker 1: I think we might have looks like Dave's working on you.
Speaker 1: Oh you are. We're supposed to be h were we
Speaker 1: supposed to call them?
Speaker 4: We'll figure it out.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it right now. I thought he was.
Speaker 1: That explains while.
Speaker 2: We're we're gonna talk to John Anderson here from yes,
Speaker 2: I will tell you after the break or after we
Speaker 2: talked to him, and we'll get to the bottom.
Speaker 4: What lego means oho?
Speaker 1: Is that an acronym for something?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay, they were having a hard time connecting
Speaker 3: with us. Now I'm dialing them and it's just ringing
Speaker 3: and ringing and ringing.
Speaker 4: So we're not gonna we're not gonna get him.
Speaker 2: We're not gonna get him.
Speaker 4: Hello, everybody that's not Johnny on the show?
Speaker 1: Which one? I'm ready to take your question.
Speaker 4: You sound like you're working at the fair.
Speaker 1: So what was it like being in Yes, Oh that's
Speaker 1: a really good experience.
Speaker 6: We had a lot of musical instruments and we would
Speaker 6: go from tow to fro. Thank you, John, You're welcome
Speaker 6: to thank you, Tony, thank you. We had lots of
Speaker 6: good musical experiences.
Speaker 2: It looks like he's still trying such as he's still
Speaker 2: trying playing.
Speaker 4: We're not going to get him those all right, thank you.
Speaker 4: You're not John Anderson, No, you're not sure.
Speaker 6: You weren't.
Speaker 1: Hear it? Oh? Heart owner heart's much Wow, John Anderson didn't.
Speaker 1: He sounded different.
Speaker 2: So on the interview, we'll do the lego thing. Now,
Speaker 2: doesn't do the lego. Even if we do, we're gonna
Speaker 2: have five minutes with him.
Speaker 4: So all right.
Speaker 2: So lego is an acronym. They are maybe the most
Speaker 2: favorite toy of all time is the lego.
Speaker 1: They're fun to step on in the middle of the home.
Speaker 2: Like when John I threw away tens of thousands of
Speaker 2: those little damn things.
Speaker 1: You probably shouldn't have. Then here's why you sell them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my nephews them.
Speaker 3: Still.
Speaker 1: He's in college. Should right now, he's graduated from college.
Speaker 4: I should have kept him right.
Speaker 1: And he'll build all these damn level things and they're
Speaker 1: like hundreds of dollars. Because I thought we were getting
Speaker 1: off the hook early, because I said, hey, what do
Speaker 1: you want for his birthday? His mother said, well this
Speaker 1: x y Z lego, said him on twenty bucks, like
Speaker 1: two hundred bucks easily. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So it was founded in nineteen thirty two by old
Speaker 2: Kirk Christensen. Okay, okay, because it's not I think it's
Speaker 2: Danish Danish technology. He's said to have created the legendary
Speaker 2: name by abbreviating the Danish leg got leg got.
Speaker 4: That's Danish. Teaching you language.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 6: I wish when I was in Yes, I wrote a
Speaker 6: song about getting some legs.
Speaker 2: I wish Lance McGarvey was here to teach us leg
Speaker 2: got translating as play well translates. Okay. According to the
Speaker 2: Huffington Posts. Legers are so popular. If you have a
Speaker 2: Vented set in its mint box, there's a four hundred
Speaker 2: percent return rate on it.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I'm gonna see what's the most expensive legs?
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, they're I mean, the Star Wars stuff is huge.
Speaker 1: And he just came out with the Jaws one. I

Speaker 1: about the problems on getting you on late, John, but
Speaker 1: we appreciate you taking time out of your day. We
Speaker 1: heard this new record and it's phenomenal. We reached out
Speaker 1: and you were kind enough to do the show. All
Speaker 1: I can say is, Wow, how long did you guys
Speaker 1: take to get this record off the ground, because it's amazing.
Speaker 5: Well, how you doing. Basically we started in November. We
Speaker 5: actually toured together for the first time lost August and
Speaker 5: at the end of the tour, I said, Richie, do
Speaker 5: we make an album? So November came in December, January,
Speaker 5: February it was finished. I can't believe it.
Speaker 3: How did you hook up with the band Geeks?
Speaker 5: A friend of mine forever sent me a video of
Speaker 5: these guys singing and playing hard in the Sunrise classic
Speaker 5: Yes song, and they were just having so much fun.
Speaker 5: I couldn't believe how good they were and are pure.
Speaker 5: They sounded more like yes than yes to me. So
Speaker 5: I got in touch with the bass player Richie and said, hey, Richie,
Speaker 5: it's John Anderson. Richie, can you hear me? It's I
Speaker 5: love the video. Why don't we go on tour together?
Speaker 5: And he said, are you sure it is?
Speaker 4: Who is this guy?
Speaker 5: Did twelve shows and I got to know each other
Speaker 5: and started in the album in November and it's out now.
Speaker 5: It's coming out this week and it's it's a miracle
Speaker 5: for me musically speaking, that we did this and then
Speaker 5: we just get on so well. The gods, the musical
Speaker 5: god said okay, John, you can have a break. Now
Speaker 5: here's the band you've been waiting for.
Speaker 4: Yes is uh?
Speaker 2: We all all three of us were in news are
Speaker 2: news now, But we all did rock radio for our
Speaker 2: start of our careers, and yes, was always in high
Speaker 2: rotation even though you had it didn't have a traditional
Speaker 2: classic rock sound to per se, but you you just
Speaker 2: you know, program directors and radio stations love your music
Speaker 2: and always in high rotation. One of my favorite songs
Speaker 2: to play, and I think it's a perfect song is
Speaker 2: and You and I. Is it ever hit you sometimes
Speaker 2: when you when you get a song like that and
Speaker 2: you really knock it out of the park, and you
Speaker 2: think that could be In my opinion, I think it's
Speaker 2: as close to a perfect song as there is.
Speaker 5: John Well I and we do it on stage now,
Speaker 5: you know, I'm You and I and it's magical. Is
Speaker 5: fifty years later, you know, and the audience is there

Speaker 1: the way, and then Greg Galliett joins the show. Lost
Speaker 1: to get to the news radio eight forty whas all right,
Speaker 1: News Radio eight forty eight WS. I'm Dwight Witten. That's
Speaker 1: Dave Jennings. Tony Vinetti is here too. Greg Galliet joins
Speaker 1: the show at the bottom of the hour, before we
Speaker 1: talk to Denise PALEGREENI I want to tell you, how
Speaker 1: about a vacation right there in your own backyard. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about, don't you. Southern Comfort hot Tub.
Speaker 1: You want to reconnect with the ones you love or
Speaker 1: the one that you love. There you go a Southern
Speaker 1: covered hot tub, no phones, no tablets, no televisions, just
Speaker 1: you and the one you love enjoying a nice relaxing
Speaker 1: soak with massages and the music of your choice. Is
Speaker 1: how Susan and I in just about every single day,
Speaker 1: and we love it. You're gonna love it too. And
Speaker 1: if you think you can't afford a hot tub, please
Speaker 1: think again. Hot tubs as low as sixty five dollars
Speaker 1: a month, and right now, Southern Comfort Hot Tub is
Speaker 1: running their end of summer cell hot tubs up to
Speaker 1: fifty percent. I mean a ton of them marked fifty
Speaker 1: percent off seventy five h one percent highway. When you
Speaker 1: use twelve months same as cash, it makes it easy.
Speaker 1: You're gonna your Southern comfort hot tub and you're gonna
Speaker 1: love this report.
Speaker 7: Possibly HiT's tomorrow that's from.
Speaker 1: Denise Palogrini, or is it going to be a bad report?
Speaker 7: Well, I mean stocks are down right now, that's part
Speaker 7: of the problem that US yields are rising, and that's
Speaker 7: on bets that fed Chair J. Powell when we do
Speaker 7: hear him speak tomorrow at Jackson Haw, Wyoming might downplay
Speaker 7: the prospect for big cuts and that would certainly throw
Speaker 7: a bit of cold water on market expectations for you know,
Speaker 7: as much of a one percentage point rate cut by
Speaker 7: the end of this year. So that's what's going on
Speaker 7: right now. A little bit of interest rate cut withdrawal,
Speaker 7: you might say. Right if you're looking for a little
Speaker 7: bit of bling for a loved one, how about this
Speaker 7: second biggest diamond ever found in a mine in Botswana,
Speaker 7: made using X ray technology. That's how they found it.
Speaker 7: This uncut gem is found at this project run by
Speaker 7: this Canadian company. I was looking at the picture up
Speaker 7: on Bloomberg dot Covit shows as thing either the person
Speaker 7: holding it has like a miniature hand or this thing
Speaker 7: is huge, okay, like what baseball or what bigger than baseball?
Speaker 7: Baseball and diamond diamond bigger than a baseball, not quite
Speaker 7: as big as a softball because it's a little uneven,
Speaker 7: but closer to softball size than baseball size. I would say,
Speaker 7: it's not clear what the quality is. But I mean
Speaker 7: if someone gave it to me, I wouldn't see.
Speaker 4: Of course, Yeah, yeah, it's uh.
Speaker 2: A steel tycoon is going to give it to his
Speaker 2: fiance Rose and they'll call it the Heart of the
Speaker 2: Heart of the Ocean.
Speaker 1: It's gotta be worth undreds of dollars.
Speaker 7: I can say is Rose is not going to be
Speaker 7: able to wear that around her neck without dragging it
Speaker 7: on the floor, because that thing is And the other
Speaker 7: thing I want to tell you about football season of course,
Speaker 7: here Popeye is coming out with a new wing flavors,
Speaker 7: Sweet and Smoky Chipotle is the flavors. They of course,
Speaker 7: it's part of their push to be the official wing
Speaker 7: of watching football. That it's their whole thing, the wing thing.
Speaker 7: Crispy Kream out with its limited edition football donuts meantime,
Speaker 7: and they're partnering with Doctor Pepper for this starting tomorrow.
Speaker 7: According to Food and Wine, on the twenty third, these
Speaker 7: twenty three original Doctor Pepper flavels will be featured on
Speaker 7: these donuts. So you can get a donut with the
Speaker 7: what the frosting in the flavor of all the different
Speaker 7: original Doctor Pepper soda flavors. No thanks, I I mean personally,
Speaker 7: I think the one sponsoring this have to be the
Speaker 7: American Dentalists.
Speaker 4: Of course, the eighty eight.
Speaker 7: I mean, this cannot be good for.
Speaker 4: Enamel on your teeth.
Speaker 3: Got the numbers for us, den ease.
Speaker 4: Oh no, let's skip those.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we got the numbers of the too is down
Speaker 7: one hundred and sixty one points and P five hundred
Speaker 7: down nineteen nesdeck now ninety eight. As we wait for
Speaker 7: fet Chair, as we've been talking about, as you guys
Speaker 7: been talking about all morning, to come out tomorrow and
Speaker 7: talk to us about his view about interest rates. We'll
Speaker 7: see if he pours cold water on hopes for a
Speaker 7: half point rate cut. In September with the News radio
Speaker 7: eight forty whs Bloomberg Money Report, I'm Denise Pellgreedy.
Speaker 4: All right, folks, you see it as you come.
Speaker 2: If you're coming from Indiana and you're coming home after
Speaker 2: a long road trip.
Speaker 4: What do you see first? Slugger field baby baseball.
Speaker 1: What if I were to tell you, what if I
Speaker 1: were to tell you there's a place that you could
Speaker 1: go to get two dollars beers, three dollars chicken tenders.
Speaker 3: I'd say, you're lying.
Speaker 1: No, I'm not lying. At slugger Field Babies. We bring
Speaker 1: in Greg Galliat l Presidentia.
Speaker 8: How you doing, Greg, I'm good looking, good man. I'm
Speaker 8: doing better on our offense. Right now we go. We
Speaker 8: gotta score some more runs. We've been a little bit
Speaker 8: dry lately, so hopefully we'll get a go in the night.
Speaker 8: And tonight it's gonna be a cool night at the
Speaker 8: ballpark for a couple of reasons. One, we've got a
Speaker 8: big time Louisville celebrity throwing out a ceremonial pitch ul
Speaker 8: basketball head coach Pat Kelsey.
Speaker 3: Taking them ound excellent.
Speaker 8: We'll turn on the radar gun and see what Pat's Okay?
Speaker 4: Is he gonna you think he'll throw from the rubber? Oh?
Speaker 8: Okay, knowing coaches I do the short time been around him, yet.
Speaker 3: He dressed like an astronaut, no doubt.
Speaker 8: No, he'll be here, probably dressed like a bats player,
Speaker 8: so I'm looking forward to that. But number two, we
Speaker 8: have the number one prospect for the Cincinnati Reds who
Speaker 8: was just drafted in the twenty twenty three draft. Right
Speaker 8: behind Paul Skens is the number two overall pick. His
Speaker 8: name is Rhet Louder, wake Forest graduate who took Wake
Speaker 8: Force to the College Baseball World Series for the first
Speaker 8: time in like sixty something year, seven years.
Speaker 4: He's on the mountain tonight.
Speaker 8: He's been in Single A this year, Double A, and
Speaker 8: now with us.
Speaker 3: Oh wow.
Speaker 8: Well, the Reds are very conservative with their pitchers as
Speaker 8: far as development. They are rushing this guy through. He's
Speaker 8: very polished, got a nasty change up, hits about ninety
Speaker 8: four ninety five on a fastball, really sharp control, So
Speaker 8: I mean they're moving him through quickly. So we'll get
Speaker 8: a look at him for the first time the night
Speaker 8: and that should be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: You'll probably have to correct me on this. I'm i
Speaker 1: maybe even remembering wrong. I read an article I think
Speaker 1: it was last week and the week before. Does Pat
Speaker 1: Kelly have a son that's not playing? Is the first
Speaker 1: father son? What's going on there? One of the few
Speaker 1: that have ever happened in baseball history. His son Casey
Speaker 1: helped take kob in the Korean League to the championship
Speaker 1: there in twenty twenty three. Casey, I think is thirty four,
Speaker 1: has pitched with the Giants and some other major league
Speaker 1: clubs here in the States, went over to the overseas
Speaker 1: and did very well and became a big name. But
Speaker 1: he is now back here and the Red sign him
Speaker 1: and he's with the Louisville Bats and he's on our
Speaker 1: pitching staff, so.
Speaker 8: It's pretty cool cool. And I was joking with Pat
Speaker 8: the other day, I go, so, how's it fuel to
Speaker 8: go out there to the mountain because your son's a
Speaker 8: starting pitcher and you take the ball away from show
Speaker 8: to your room. So we had a good chuckle over that.
Speaker 8: But he's excited because obviously Casey brings his kids, which
Speaker 8: is Pat's grandkids to Louisville now, so Pack has the
Speaker 8: same time with them. And I think we got a
Speaker 8: lot of the Kelly family actually here this whole weekend
Speaker 8: in a little mini family reunion. So that's pretty cool.
Speaker 3: I saw where Joey Vado retired guys at the age
Speaker 3: of forty. What's Joey's legacy with the Reds.
Speaker 8: I mean super solid. The thing, this is the big
Speaker 8: debate about Joey. Has Joey put up good enough numbers
Speaker 8: to possibly, you know, garner serious Cooperstown consideration. The last
Speaker 8: couple of years, his batting average at the major league
Speaker 8: level really dropped off, taking him down below three hundred.
Speaker 8: So again, has he accumulated assimulated enough numbers to get
Speaker 8: him into the Hall, that's the great question. It'll be close,
Speaker 8: it'll be close, But we enjoyed our time. I mean, obviously,
Speaker 8: Joey did several injury rehab stints here with the Bats,
Speaker 8: so we got to know him pretty well. And Joey's
Speaker 8: a very you know, intense guy, very detailed and you know,
Speaker 8: once you get to know him, he's pretty cool.
Speaker 3: In the end, did his contract hurt the Reds?
Speaker 1: Ah?
Speaker 8: I think it hampered him in certain ways. The Homer
Speaker 8: Bailey contract certainly didn't help before that, right, right, because
Speaker 8: so that's when the team is really humming and could
Speaker 8: have made some more moves. So, you know, it remains
Speaker 8: to be seeing.
Speaker 1: Joey Vado forty, even if he does look it at Cooperstown.
Speaker 1: He's got one hundred and ten million reasons.
Speaker 4: Well, it's hard to get in.
Speaker 8: Okay, it's hard.
Speaker 2: It's hard to get in. But Adam Lefgo used to
Speaker 2: say this. He goes, you know, throw out the stats
Speaker 2: and all that. He believes people belong in the Hall
Speaker 2: of Fame. If you can't talk about that era of
Speaker 2: baseball without him, then he belongs in the hall or
Speaker 2: that person.
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk promotion, because tonight, Thursday night, is always
Speaker 1: the night to be at bats.
Speaker 8: Two dollars beers, I heard media, happy heart, Yeah, three.
Speaker 1: Dollars chicken tender. Still it's three dollars.
Speaker 8: Chicken tendors, three dollars regular Nacho's, two dollars twelve ounce
Speaker 8: cans of Cords light and Miller lights. And from five
Speaker 8: thirty until eight thirty, So soon as we open the
Speaker 8: gates and it's at any stand that sells beer, we'll
Speaker 8: accept that. And then tomorrow night, of course, it's Margarita Madness,
Speaker 8: Tomorrow night with number one tequila number on discounted Margarita's
Speaker 8: to we have fireworks tomorrow night thanks to our friends
Speaker 8: over at Local five oh two plumbers and pipe fitters.
Speaker 8: And tomorrow night is Margaritaville night at the ballpark. So
Speaker 8: we're going to have the fans will be receiving Hawaiian
Speaker 8: leg's when they come in. We'll have a kind of
Speaker 8: a Hawaiian theme, a Jimmy Buffett type theme with music
Speaker 8: throughout the night. Saturday Night should be a lot of fun.
Speaker 8: It's River Bat Night. It's our twenty fifth celebration of
Speaker 8: the ballpark of Slugger Field. Oh whoa, we're bringing back
Speaker 8: of the two thousand Louisville River Bats. Dave Miley will
Speaker 8: be in attendance.
Speaker 1: Twenty five years.
Speaker 4: Incredible to show there from the outfield. Wow.
Speaker 8: The Bats will play that night in their old purple
Speaker 8: and green Yeah, and the purple and green hats with
Speaker 8: the old river Bats logo. We'll be giving away cooler
Speaker 8: lunch bags to the first thousand fans with the river
Speaker 8: Bats old logo on it with the colors.
Speaker 1: Uh.

Speaker 1: Is birds are going to be there too.

Speaker 8: One of the more popular entertainers in minor league baseball.
Speaker 4: So okay, so you know, a little villions.
Speaker 2: When it's the Goldilocks temperature, they come out yep and tonight.
Speaker 4: Seriously, So my first pitch.
Speaker 2: We all know the breeze comes off the river, So
Speaker 2: if it's seventy six seventy seven degrees, it's a little
Speaker 2: it's it's a maybe a pull over kind of night
Speaker 2: most and it's going to be perfect tonight, tomorrow and Saturday, yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean and Sunday afternoon it'll be you know, ninety two.
Speaker 8: But still ninety two in August is not bad. So
Speaker 8: the weather's been fabulous all week. I know our grounds
Speaker 8: career appreciates it, and so does our front office because
Speaker 8: now we don't have to pull any tarball week because
Speaker 8: the threat of rain.
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at this river bats many cooler. This
Speaker 1: is really cool. Yeah, it turned out really it's awesome, man.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's We're very proud of it.
Speaker 1: So that's Saturday's talk about Sunday, yeah, because that's a
Speaker 1: big family.
Speaker 8: Sunday is always kids day at the ballpark. So we
Speaker 8: got the kids discounted a mission, We have the free
Speaker 8: kids meal, we have the giant inflatables in the air
Speaker 8: Hall of Fame for kids to play on, and of
Speaker 8: course after the game, it's kids running the bases. And
Speaker 8: that takes us to the end of the home standing.
Speaker 8: After that, we on we got two more home stands left.
Speaker 8: That's it, and that's two weeks, two different weeks in September.
Speaker 8: But we've got some big promotions on Friday Night, September

Speaker 8: stars to the first thousand fans that night. We'll have

Speaker 8: third before that fireworks show, we've now moved them over
Speaker 8: to that Friday night. They're one of the top entertainment
Speaker 8: acts in the NBA halftime circles, so I think fans
Speaker 8: will enjoy that. And then we have a couple of
Speaker 8: dog Nights coming up in September, because we always like
Speaker 8: to do dog Nights in September when the weather starts
Speaker 8: to cool down. So Tuesday, the third of September is
