  Speaker 1: don't think that's trying to do a mustage.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Is that the baseball game?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we went. So we went to a Padres game
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: and it was really fun. They the Padres play at
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: pet Coast Stadium, which is in the middle of downtown
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: San Diego. And I was sitting there thinking about our
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: own possibility of getting a major League baseball team here
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: in salt Lake. And so this was on Saturday, and
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: they always put up the you know, attendance, it's the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: it's the however many a game in a row that
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: we've sold out pet Coast Stadium and I on Instagram,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I didn't send Katie this, but there's video that I
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: took of the stadium. It's packed and said there were
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: forty three thousand people here today at pet Coast Stadium.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: So this was an afternoon game, yeah, during the week,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: on Saturdays.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: On Saturday. But it got me thinking, Okay, the way
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: baseball works is like there'll be a home stand and
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the Phillies come to town and you play several games
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: for several days, and I just do you think forty
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: thousand people are gonna go to a baseball game day
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: after day in Salt Lake?
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: No, I don't know.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I wonder.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I think I think that's the problem. Salt Lake is made.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: To be have a major League Baseball team, you have
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: to be a pretty big city.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And and I will say this, sitting there at that game.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: It was really fun. The food was good, the energy
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: was good. It was fun to watch. It is a
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: different feeling watching a professional event, like do you have
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a hot talk? I had a big pretzel, have a
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: beer and a beer? Yeah, I have a beer INFESTUS

• 2:57
  Speaker 1: it baseball games. Give me a beer. Uh so, I
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: wonder how that, and I asked it. So he bought
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the tickets and he wouldn't tell me how much they are.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: But he also had gone to a game previously, the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: very top row, cheap cheap seats. I said, well, how
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: much were those? He said, those were forty dollars or
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the cheapest of the cheapest of cheap seats, so he
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: probably paid. You know.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: A couple three were down.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we were down kind of behind home plate. They
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: were good.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: They were good, good seats.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: But they're to visit fastus. I wanted to read this
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: to you quickly, so I went by his apartment. His
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: his friends were going shark fishing and they had bait
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: they had to put in his fridge to keep it
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: cold before.

  Speaker 1: frozen fish parts they get.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll warm up once it gets out on the boat.

• 3:58
  Speaker 1: he Festus is doing the rotations in different clinics and
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: things where you get reviewed by the doctor there. So yeah,
• 4:06

  Speaker 2: Knows that this is a review from his superior.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, hard working and eager to learn. Is willing to
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: be uncomfortable and push himself for the sake of learning.

  Speaker 1: He's dedicated to his growth as a future medical provider
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and genuinely cares about the patients and delivering quality patient care.

• 4:34
  Speaker 2: that stupid.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I mean that's I've tried talking to him about it.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: He won't listen. You know, you can. You can try
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: and explain it away all you want by saying, oh,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I think he just didn't share. That's that's on purpose.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: That's that's a mustache, because there wasn't that kind of
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: hair on the rest of his face.
