JP Peterson 0:27
All right, a hearty good morning from the slopes of Colorado for this edition of the JP Peterson show here on a Tuesday. Well, Timmy. You you look behind me. You'll see the four o'clock run at Brecker Ridge, Colorado, and it's nothing but rocks and grass. Uh
Tim (Timmy) 0:43
uh. No snow.
JP Peterson 0:45
No snow whatsoever. Luckily, we're already at ten thousand feet at the base, so up top there's snow. So we did did get a little bit of skiing in yesterday, but it wasn't we we found a little patch of heaven w that we could get uh get going on, but uh not ideal conditions, but it's still great be up here in God's country. Absolutely love the Rockies and and we got the fireplace in the background. You like that touch? Nice, huh? Uh huh. Yeah,
Tim (Timmy) 1:08
I like that. Like the framing.
JP Peterson 1:10
Yeah, though there we go. We got something right here uh today. I'm just glad they can see us and hear us. We'll do we'll do a little abbreviated show here today, but we wanted to get on because of all the pompous circumstance at at the raise yesterday and um uh a lot to talk about with the lightning. The Bucks even made a move yesterday, the national championship game last night. We watched a little bit of that. Um Timmy, I'm sure you can opine a little bit more on that, but We'd love to get your comments in. If you went to the trop yesterday, would love to hear from you about your experience there. Um from all I heard, uh it was absolutely spectacular. It was there were some spotty issues with the Wi-Fi.
JP Peterson 1:47
And it's it's one of the problems, one of the many problems with the trop. And it was it was a great return. Um I thought the um the popping circumstance before the game was absolutely fantastic. Uh the the story of the flame. Incredibly. I don't know if you you heard this one, Timmy. So that flag been draped down from center field through both the hurricanes, through everything, everything that was wrecked, that flag just stood stood there, not did not. tear at all. There's not a nick or scratch on it. I mean it's it's a little bizarre. Are you are you are
Tim (Timmy) 2:21
you are you trying to say and our flag was still there?
JP Peterson 2:25
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm trying. That's what Eric Church sang, if I'm not mistaken, by the way. Oh, Eric Church was there? He could have done could have done that solo, by the way. That would've been just fine. They brought in uh he had a he had a little backup singer and she she was intent on taking over. That's for damn sure. Oh no. Um but it was all good. It was nice to have the little star power, Eric Church there. That was really cool. I guess he's in town uh this weekend for for a show. So um yeah, really really good stuff, all the pop and circle. And I thought it was really interesting that the mayors of St. Petersburg and the mayor of Tampa, the honorable Ken Welch and Jane Caster both throughout the first pitch.
JP Peterson 3:05
The ceremonial passing of the torch, if you will, Timmy, from St. Petersburg to Tampa. I thought that was incredibly symbolic and meaningful. Um so that was that was a well done. And there was, you know, there was there was some talk. Obviously, all the dignitaries were there. The uh the governor, Ron DeSantis, was there supporting the ownership group and of course he's very much backing the um the Tampa Stadium deal that includes a relocation of Hillsborough College, a state college, of which the state is putting in significant money. Um so his presence there I thought was uh also extremely important and extremely symbolic as to what's happening as we go the next two weeks with the stadium. Uh we should
JP Peterson 3:47
Hopefully, I think I've said this for three weeks now. We should hopefully get the term sheet this week. Um, and as we told you months ago, it was gonna get ugly, it's gonna get political, and that's where we're at in terms of the stadium. There wasn't a whole lot of talk about it yesterday, though people were asked.
