"Lisa, you've got a kind of wild story about a special beverage. That basically allows you to tap into mutant powers, I feel like. How did you come to possess Adam Andre special send juice? The greatest climber in the world, and you have his secret formula. Talk to us about that. Well, a few years ago, Mike Doyle, who is a Canadian rock climber that lives and works here in Las Vegas. He was moving. He was moving from one house to another and he was cleaning out his liquor cabinet and he contacted me because I love to make cocktails and he comes over a lot for drinks and your cocktails are very good. Oh, thank you. And he was like, hey, I have all this extra booze. Do you want it? And I was like, sure, great. So when he brought it over, one of the bottles he handed me was this stuff called fetch a roka. And I think I'm saying that correctly, but it's basically this herbal bitter liqueur. It's typically drunk as a digestive, and it's produced in the Czech Republic. And so I was like, what is this stuff? Why do you have this stuff? And he was like, well, in 2015, when I was working this root called necessary evil in the virgin river gorge, Adam Andre came to work the root with me. And he, of course, Senate second go. It's a 14 C or 8 C plus, which is really hard. And apparently he brought this check liquor with him because he drinks a cap full of it prior to red pointing, or at least he was doing that in 2015. I can't speak to what he's doing now. But yeah, so he takes a cap full of this really herbally, bitter liqueur that is not very high alcohol prior to trying to write point. So Mike Doyle gave this to me not only because he was moving and he didn't have room for it, but also because I was projecting a route at the VRG at that time. And if anybody has been to the VRG, they know how soul crushing it is. And he thought it might help inspire me and help me to send. It did not. But did it inspire you though? It did inspire me. Now I just kind of like pass it around at parties, occasionally. And if I'm trying something really hard and I'm really nervous about it, I take it out with me and I drank a cap from it prior to trying to write point. I feel like if you pass around at parties, like everyone would just turn into the hulk pretty much or something like that. It just would be like Tapping into the atom under a screaming, you know. Have you shared how does anyone that you've shared it with at the crag felt the impact and the effects of it and how to incredible day of climbing? Yeah, actually, there's been a few people that have taken a sip of it and then sent. I mean, I know if it's correlated, I haven't done a proper study, but it's actually I have the bottle in my hand right now and it's this kind of like tiny bottle and it's not good. It does not taste good. How long ago was that that you got that bottle? I got the bottle in 2020. Beck, I feel like you know how to do the double blind study on that for us. How that would work out with, well, I guess it's sort of hard to know whether you would send with or without it. Could you even study that? I don't know. I mean, I guess we could we could put something together. I'd have to try to get Adam andra to get me more of it, 'cause there's not very much left at this point. Well, that kind of story, it makes me think about items of gear that somehow become like a lucky token or a superstition in some way. I feel like we all have that piece of gear that's like, oh, if I don't bring this raincoat, then we're gonna get, we're gonna get stormed on like crazy or if I don't have this special carabiner, I'm gonna take a whipper. Oh, I totally had one of those, like, for climbing. There was like my piece of gear that whenever I was leading, it would just always come in handy. It just fit in the exact perfect spot. And so it was a green green alien. And I think what I loved about it the most is because we were crack climbing a bunch then. And what I loved about it most is that you could place it vertically, but then you could also place it in a horizontal crack. And I don't know if it was the cracks in Sedona or where, but it felt like that was like always kind of something. I was like, oh, this is where I want to be able to swap this in or when climbing like little finger cracks and it just gets smaller and smaller. And so on so many climbs whenever I got in that moment where I was like, oh, I don't know what to do. Okay, I need to put in a piece of gear and it's like, I would look and be like, oh, the green alien is gonna fit there perfectly. So that was my favorite favorite piece. And it was my favorite piece. This is the point where she throws me underneath the bus. Bits. And his climbing partner accidentally left it and it got lost. But I think it was valid reason fits. Well, you make it sound like, oh, you left it somewhere, and it's like, well, it did get, it got left, but it got left like 25 pitches up el cap in the middle of a blizzard while we were stressed out. And yes, it basically, and I regretted it that really quickly as well too, because I remember there's just one of those moments on el cap where we were trying to do it in a day. We were slowing down because we were kind of high up above the ground and it was supposed to be good weather. It had been storming a few days before and it was like finally supposed to break and it was just like that one moment where you realize like uh oh something's happening and you're starting to go faster and faster because you just know and then like all of a sudden like looking over at the rim and all of a sudden it's clouds come down they peel down the side of the one side of the valley and then they come up over the valley floor and then up el cap and then the next thing we know it's like snowing and light hailing and then raining and it's like somewhere in that we left our entire anchor in the wall and just like kept climbing and like it was dark out and at that stage like at some point I was like way run out and I was like, oh, this will be the perfect place for the green alien and I was like I don't have it and then I was like it's in the anchor two pitches below us and at that stage it was just we were kind of in survival mode and I apologize for the thousandth time. That's okay. Back to your climbing suffer from like an anti placebo, like I don't have I don't have the green alien, I can't do this. It did. I stopped leading. No. And

"Understand what is motivating and what matters to consumers that they wanna reach. And there's no other way to do that to figure out what a day in the life for that individual looks like. How are they feeling. What would what's their. What's their home life. What was their family situation. What's their what's their whole context right and so really putting some disciplined into understanding what it's like to be in that person's shoes and then marrying that with really super smart strategic recommendations that are born of data always born of data and figuring out what the solution is so so empathy is a massive part of what we do the part big part of of how we hire you know. I wanna hire i. Will i love working with the people that i do catch him because my god they just show up so humanity at the end of the day we might be working for a brand like mastercard. I'll talk about that but you know at the end of the day. Mastercard is a big beautiful global organization filled but humans right in service of humans right. and so. that's that's just it's fundamental to the work that we do and communications mastercard. Probably one of the most important things that i've ever had an opportunity to do and something catch catchable. Be proud of for the rest of the time mastercard Who has brand has long been i am. I should say i by no means a an official spokesperson for the brand but they're one of our most important clients a long standing supporter of inclusion in all its forms Mastercard is shown up for marginalized communities including the lgbtq community for years and years and years. Several years ago. I think it was about eighteen. Two thousand eighteen. They landed on a an observation and it was a. It was a sort of a joint observation mastercard and their partner agencies Phenomenal agency called mcan that we work with mastercard that for any member of the trans community. When when you apply for a credit card and then ultimately use a credit card at point of sale that credit card had the. Have the name that you were assigned at birth right mike. Doyle is on my credit card. Well imagine the the horror. The pain the conflict the Anxiety embarrassment whatever. The emotion is if you're a trans person in any phase of that of that transition of your personal journey and you show up with a credit card that may appear to be confusing or different at point of sale to the person that you're trying to interact with horrible right and so talk about embassy right. What must feel like said mastercard and so mastercard said. We're we're not going to stand for that. We're going to create something called the true name card and it was the first ever credit card that could be issued with the chosen name of that individual. It was breakthrough it is now represented by so many issues citibank and others and it was it was remains a watershed moment in the trans. I would say the trans movement particularly as it related to what a brand would be doing. And how brand would stand up for the trans community. It is a spectacular example of a brand demonstrating so much empathy that it was willing to to make a commercial commitment. The business committed to affecting change for an under represented and marginalized community. It was It it remains one of can tell.

We will do all these things. And i hope people felt that moment. I really did. Let me tell you what i felt. I think i told you this but in that moment at that time in our history to feel that amount of love from friends but also from the venue and from the college And to to hear that applause reverberating off the walls of a church. Which i mean new lemberg is sort of non denominational raider. It's not it's lutheran but it's not like redwing close you know right. I remember thinking like this is how you're supposed to be on a church like you're supposed to feel held and loved and supported and not judged and celebrated you know what i mean like. You're supposed to be in a community of of of love and support and that's what it felt like and it was really powerful and exactly on time. Thank you thank you. And what isn't that great. We now thank god. We live in a live in a world that is that is i hope moving closer toward anyone feeling that in any capacity any place right and and so that means a lot. Thank you for shana. Thank you for sharing and for having us. I wanna talk about your career. You are a titan of the public relations industry. Ceo of ketchum. What is it about you that is suited to do. Pr white. what do you think it clicked for you there. wow who you know. I happened into this career. I really did But you know that. I think it was. It was certainly whether it's fate or whatever you believe in i As the story goes true story. I I was living washington. I was interning on the hill and pedaling my resume anywhere that would take me and i spoke to a bunch of a bunch of folks that were mentors to me. and one of them Who actually back to muhlenberg college where all things began Got him chris harris. Who was the director of admissions. I called him. Because i had no freaking idea what to do. And he said he's michael. You love to to you. Love to rights. You're elected to to speak public all these things and you're really good is lovely of him. You're a really good storyteller. I think you should look into public relations. And i honestly have joked like if he had said you. You're you're super nimble. You should be an acrobat. Like i'd be like okay. I'm gonna go to the circus. Like i think i would have done anything you too long story short. I get an interview. Catch him at a place that you know now now still Still love and I they loved me. But i was day late and a dollar short. They already hired someone and i missed. It already. hired somebody to take that job about three days later. They called me back and said that this this young woman Ran from the building crying because it was too stressful. And she couldn't handle it. Do you want the job now. Of course absolutely and i joined. And i've i've gone. I've left the agency and come back again and had a bunch experiences but the but the short answer to your question is i think that i certainly don't know that i'm i'm perfectly suited but i think i've been able to find some success but finds enormous joy in a couple of things i love. I love psychology. I love understanding why people believe or do or don't believe or by or care about something Whether that's a cause or product or were mission and initiative movement. I love understanding why someone cares about that and helping a company. achieve their goals by tapping into that. So i love when a client says to us with our business objective. This is what we're trying to achieve. Great let's talk about why to talk about. Why why do you exist. What purpose are you solving for. Or you're filling for that. Consumer that stakeholder and diagnosing it and diagnosing an diagnosing coming back with some beautiful either big creative program or the most simple strategic recommendation to help a client do great work. And i just i love that i love being able to tell brilliant stories for clients helping them be their best selves helping executives achieved their business goals. I i love that. And i love it so much of it comes back down to psychology into that kind of motivation and tapping in to people's why and i've never lost. That always had that. I'm always have always been a diagnosis. Her i love to kind of keep asking why driving people crazy. But what i love about it now is the worm positions and i'm in a position where we can genuinely help a company tell it story to whatever ends make sense for their business and their people and that's why i love what i do it. You know reading about catch him reading about you. It's interesting a word that get came up in a few different context empathy and struck me. Because i don't think people associate empathy with pr. But i also think people associate pr with entertainment publicists and the like sort of sharkey caricature of you know that that breed of human which obviously you are not but i feel like a good reflection of empathy and your work. Can you just tell people about the The campaign you did with mastercard sure named lobster. Yeah lobster. I'll talk about empathy though. Who wrote real. Quick i because it. It's it's just an inherent in what we try to do every day and and it happens to be catching the tagline empathy plus intelligence. Because what we think we do best and we strive for every day is to help brands.

"Think that to the people that i was posted the people that i dated when i first came out of it feels like a lifetime ago. They feel like many lifetimes ago. And what do you attribute that to allow his patients. jesus you know i got. I think i'm going to sound like a you know like a like a bad poem that you buy on. Hang on your fridge. But but i swear to god. I think it's because we were. We were just the best of friends. I we were. We were the best of friends and we met. We met at a time. Way are neither one of us. Had anything figured out and so we became incredibly close friends in a place at a place that we loved surrounded by people who loved us and we rose sort of in this in this moment where we didn't know who we were what we were really here to be and all of that so i think the fact that the journey has been for the two of us really sorting that all out but doing it together it was it was I don't know. I don't know that i've got a great answer for you other than you know we. We also have such a shared history that That's been great right. We're lucky that our families love each other. We're lucky that our friends are all still really the same. We've got this incredible family now. Like i think that's given us a common ground you know and and also boy not a day passes that i don't thank god that you know we also. We still have a blast. We still have a blast. We have his never. It's never change and we drive each other nuts and four minutes later. Were were just laughing our asses off and it must have been such fun wedding after after so much time together and such a a shared history and like You know shared community people have been like chopping at the bit to celebrate you guys. That's so sweet of you. And dave can offer his perspective. I'll tell you though two things that that i think made it. Three things actually was. We went back to muhlenberg to do it We were the first same sex marriage of two meal number graduates ever in that chapel at beulah college which was very cool The second was we we We had almost four hundred people there. Which i don't say i know it's a little a little bananas i don't. I don't say that you know for any other reason than to say we kind went through this conscious this moment. We're like all right if it's just our families than it's gonna be like fifty people but my god we've each got so many chapters his career. My career are asbury family. Our new york family right and and we wanted the whole thing to just be a big. Thank you note You know i. I was I was never. I was never we. I don't know. I can't i can't put all of us in but i i was you know i grew up thinking that that was in the cards for me that i would ever be. I've never live in a society where i could be married or that i'd feel brave enough to want to be married publicly or any of those just wasn't part of my conditioning and and so to be able to do what we both wanted to do was thank everybody that had meant so much to us. That got us to that place. And that's what that's what we hoped it was going to be if we were going to send a big thank you note. You know. we're not gonna. We're not going to skimp on that. But i will tell you the third thing that was wild and dave remembers this. Our wedding was one week after Donald trump was elected president and That cast this. It was equal parts for for the majority of the guests and not all of them for the majority was equal parts sort of just total sobriety in terms of attitude not behavior that night at a total sobriety right just a wakeup call but then also this beautiful loving defiance that here we were four hundred people in the great state of pennsylvania that had turned red and at a time where we had no idea what the fuck was going to hit us in the next four years you know what for these three or four hours with this incredible band in this in this place We're gonna have a good time and we're going to show everybody that that love does win and i i really mean that. I think that was. The timing of the event could never have been planned or predicted. But i remember that on. Never ever forget that the best youthful cathartic and love and affirming the has world party that that walk it asked for and i'm in wedding mode outside. Forgive me but i i got especially your. You're getting buried in his chapel. How did you decide who was your efficient. How traditional did you go in terms of like wedding party and of that got. I'm beaming because i can tell you how great this is. Incredible people were so we We had We had best people We had our art to start our family A guy named a guy named sale. Who was my roommate throughout. All of college He would later. Go on to marry one of my best friends Since i was three Serra tissues moments of meeting. They are now married in an amazing fabulous always He was one of our best people and the other was our was our dear friend. Heather who is She's the third leg door stole she's she's always been there and still is so they were our best people. We were married by another one of our best friends in the world him. Tommy and tommy was the officiant and We had the got your literally. Everyone has turned off this podcast at this point i'm sure the the minister from ulan berg began the ceremony by sort of giving everybody a sense of place. We wanted everyone to sort of understand that this was the first marriage of same sex Graduate couple that that just the significance of what that all night and then And then tommy just stole the show. He's a beautiful writer is brilliant public speaker He's been like a brother to the two of us and he was exactly the right person to bring everybody together was great. He did a really cool thing. That i don't know who's marrying you But just mad at this ever inspiring. I've passed this onto about five different people and it was all tommy. I said i wanted this to be. We wanted this to be a thank you to everybody in and what he did was he said you know what the boys want this to be a thank you note. So we're gonna we're gonna thank people by making sure people understand kind of the role that they played in to start by thanking the people who were there. I so what. All the parents and brothers and sisters mike brett stand up and and let's give them a round of applause and in the grade school crew and then high school and in college and let's talk about mike work and breads and so on and on and on and by the end of the peace tommy had lifted everyone. Everyone was on their on their feet and he said now. What we're all going to do is thank. Mike brought for bringing us here with around of applause and i could. I could fill up now. I mean i. I've i've had felt remember that i've never that sense of community but again i will tell you i think it was catharsis i it was. It was just like you know what we've we haven't known how to feel for the past six months right or certainly the past week after after the events of that election and i think everybody just felt whether.

"Lindbergh college In in And with met. I dunno day two or three or something like that. And it's and it's so funny. That's you want to. Remind me that. I pointed out to you that i was a lot because i think brett's entire Point of view about me for the better part of our freshman year You know numerous A wonderful little bucolic school pretty small. You got to know everybody and we. We had some mutual friends freshman year. We started knew a lot of the same people and we knew each other By sophomore year. Now i should point now. We were years and years and years. We were a decade away from coming to each of us coming to grips in our own way with with how we were made i was. I was fighting every subconscious thoughts and conscious thought that i was having at that point about possibility that was guy so by sophomore year junior year. We were incredibly close friends by senior. Your best friends and that was it and then we graduated and You know kind of went are relatively separate ways moved out to los angeles and an easy to To new york but in this super connected group of about ten to fifteen of our closest friends who remain so to this day and And then i moved back east a year later. We all found ourselves in washington. Dc and that was when You know a couple of things happen. And i thought shit. I can't fight this. This is not something. Can i can. I'm not going to win over it. It's going to have to. It's gonna. I'm gonna figure this all out and Luckily i did. But i didn't do it alone. I did it with the benefit of of my best friend figuring it out himself to And so though we chart our you know we met in in the fall of nineteen ninety We moved to To new york in nineteen ninety nine and got married in two thousand sixteen so we chart our relationship relate to so when we lived in new york and started a cigarette all out together but Unbelievably lucky i i. I really I you know. I i don't mean to sound i don't mean to sound hyperbolic like i. I just don't know what i did to deserve a chance to meet best friend and ultimately a guy who helped me through my own journey and his but But you know to be able to create a life with this guy is Is unbelievable the struck of a good fortune. I wanna know when you say. Eat it his perspective on you and you met freshman year was most likely that you were a lot. What what did your aliveness look like. What was he was he gets. A question is the the answer to that. Question is actually rooted almost better in what brett is he's Breads the guy who looks at room of fifty people and immediately sizes up the three or four that he's gonna spend that night with right He he had he makes. He makes deep fewer deeper friendships. He is he is so loyal he sowed. He's so devoted to the people that he loves and and he's a guy who still has friends from grade school right. And i'd like to think that i share some of that. I still have a lot of friends from grade school and and and love making friendships that deep. But if i go into room a fifty You know i'm gonna meet fifty people. And i'll probably hang out with the caters for a while. And then i'll go see like you know if anybody needs anything in the courtroom And you know. I'll leave. And and i i am. I tend to hate us. But i tend to be more of a of a flittering. I sort of i sort of i don't. I don't prioritize the things that he does. And god i wish i did. And that's what i love about him. He keeps me grounded. Any makes make sure that. I remember what's important and who's important So i was a lot. I was the You know. I was always a you know running for something and wanted to be. You know starring in some show or giving some speech or something like that Thinking that that would be the only way. I could be settled and And he helped me show that that's not the case when you say you to Figured it out together once you acted on these host. How how did that ice. Get broken Well i talk about it actually in sort of a series of episodes honestly that it was for the two of us and the you know the the first the first episode for us you know you gotta remember we were. We were part of this. Really beautiful consortium of friends right. And i don't know how atypical this is. I think this might be pretty common for folks. Try to figure it all out part of this big group of fifteen twenty friends inseparable talked everyday. You know before we even had texting and it was like a little pack. We just did everything together. And that gave us great comfort right and it's two of us. Were a part of that. It also meant that we can sort of figure this out but but in a way that there was supported by friends who were next us. They didn't know what was going on. And we certainly didn't say anything but at least felt like we had family episode one was in believe it or not was in two thousand one and it was Brad was going through some stuff at work and nine eleven. it was just.

At the Races With Nick Tammaro
"Churchill getting started would bind with they're the first really too big weekends they also course got the international later in the meet later in the fall and and that brings in some international shippers this woodbine mile just the mile either northern dancer the more you look at it. I thought was was was intriguing and there's plenty of other a lot of stars on the card including Holy Khaleda and pink Loyd. WHO's I I for a horse? That's one like twenty seven in a row. Nobody seems the talk about him or pay much attention to him. Bob Tillers streaking sprinter and here's a streaking sprinter victim Rio depends on where the sprint destination is. I think might Tapei at times but shop racing form a yes to the windows. Definitely Pink Floyd is is really sort of a marvel in terms of how he's performed well routinely I of course needed him to at least be third in this race last year in the contest and finished fifth so the pink floyd stop it will be nowhere near Wreck Stale Ontario and so his chances tomorrow we'll probably increase exponentially. He's in the early. They put the bold venture early on the card actually in fact when I went to the stakes together and put them up Derby Trail Oh. I didn't even look that that early on the card so I didn't even have to go back in fact I don't know if I did go back and put it up but there are a couple couple of very nice horses here including Carlin's honor the Jack Oxley Breezy York good old Yordan approaching half a million dollars for a chiefs would and Stewart Simon you know a lot of your a lot of your local players in the sprint scene but pink Cloyd is now twenty one twenty six and it really was late last year September October that he started to show some some frings signs of tiring and Kinda sputtered out at the end of the year could. Could he be beaten in here. I don't think so no it looks like he's he's back where he needs to be and I don't really know I guess other than Caroline's honor who's supposed to be particularly big threat to him in the spot so he he should get the job done. I mean it's always nice to see good. Horses do Well York than obviously was in much better form coming into this last year having run a good second pink Floyd Royd individual and and that was also during a period of time where pink floyd was having a really hard time getting out of the gate so he's a little ornery for a seven year old gelding and he had a little bit gate trouble really about four or five races in a row going into last year's bold venture he he's not he still not they really particularly the obedient or when it comes to getting out of the gate or being trained for it but he's definitely a little bit better spot with that right now so I think given that he's he's inform and should be sitting right off of the of the pace. If you worked in may be line to the front end. I think he should be okay before we talk about the Canadian the end the grade to which does start the cross country and will incorporate the pebbles and the nightcap at Belmont Nixon thoughts about last week at Belmont. We talked about this Jockey Club Derby and oaks and the Grand Prix. I talked to Andy on Tuesday. The Grand Prix was oddly contest than I thought but some some quick hits on opening the opening salvos at Belmont. I guess guess I'll try and keep it as charitable as possible. Given I took my shots at it last week but I think they played out largely. How we expected decide thought was a pretty impressive winner of the Jockey Club oaks overcoming? I think by all counsel was a pretty negative pace setup and winning is much the best running down Wonderman who I thought probably got a little bit more the run of the race and the American contingent as we expected in that race as well as the Jockey Club Derby were pretty much no shows and it could also be that the American continuing is pretty thin out by now. We'll talk about the pebbles and a little bit but the pebbles is going to be the ninth race for one hundred thousand dollars or more for three year olds fillies on turf going back to June sixth six and that's insane so the ranks of American horses that are ready to go a mile and three eighths early in September. We're really not very not very robust and and that proved out on the lady side and I thought Spanish mission I I actually thought he was totally out of position and thought that he was about to have a Jamie Spencer Special before he was able to overcome it and get the job done so a little bit. I know that the horse was capable of overcoming his writer. I I would imagine he he should be one of the better distant sources that we could potentially see over here next year given that he's going to be off now until the spring and there's just obviously connections that have problems shipping over the Grand Prix North American Jockey Club invitational brought to you by whatever most pretentious name of all time that was one of the most oddly run races I've ever seen first of all. I don't know how the hell everybody knew. Marconi was winning that race for fun and then to watch the riders of both realm and roaming union gather a hold of their horses so strongly almost as if they were waiting for Marconi to catch up and take the lead after he blew the break so that he could go one sixteen flat it was basically sort of the epitome of what we complain about left and right about American American dirt racing right now and you know in this day and age of sort of turf occasion of American racing where everybody points to turf races races are run like turf races. It's almost as if one horse makes the lead all the other guys say okay well. They're the pacesetter we're just GONNA go ahead and sit back and wait for them to come back to us and the majority of the time on the dirt that just doesn't happen even so shockingly Marconi was able to set a pedestrian pace and and went on with it and I I obviously would not have been a big fan of his at the price he went off often. We talked about how it looked like a bit more competitive race on paper the other todd pletcher trainee your to blame. I thought ran pretty well. He was able to stop the pace on the inside but you know I don't y horse like roaming union was in there if he wasn't GonNa GonNa contest the pace especially given that he's from connections like Michelle Navin who generally have a pretty decent idea how to win dirt racist so that was is a little bit of a head scratcher. you know look my personal opinion is that if there's any thought given to this turf triple. I really hope that same amount of money is committed to a dirt program and trying trying to incentivize horsemen to get there and run on dirt more frequently really try and build up the claiming ranks again because it's kind of embarrassing through the first three days of racing. I'm I'm sorry through the first three days of Racing Belmont there were seventy eight horses total entered to run on dirt and there are over seventy eight horses enter to run dirt in the first day at Churchill so I if the same number number of races and and that's that's not good. That's a big big problem that creates a big problem in the winter so that's my hope for it as it is. I guess we'll see probably a little bit better from Spanish mission in the Diese Lisa next year well we turn to Belmont today and into the weekend a couple of very good maiden races actually as part of that card and maybe we'll touch on them but let's let's look at the cross country pick five and it is comprised of of the three three of the stakes would bind the Canadian the mile and the northern dancer that you know you the top of your head. You wouldn't have thought it the three of them were as complex as actually I think they are and then the pebbles and the turf sprint claiming nightcap the eleventh at Belmont so let's start with the Canadian you know this is an interesting field the and really they'll competition. Idea should probably go off a pretty solid favorite. I don't really see how tactically you could make a real stand with her and she's a horseshoe. Obviously needs to lay back and make one run and you know those types generally at the mercy of the pace and this race does not look like it's going to have really any pace speak of so so she's going to have to overcome that now. I will say that you'll Rosario getting back on board to me feels like a very good thing. It does seem like she's just a little bit better horse when he's John Her but now the flip side of that is that we know Joel style. He's GonNa take her back and let her make one run so I mean they're they're going to. There's going to have to be some pace in here that you can't really foresee and I guess the hope is that Dixie moon and or starship do believe maybe show a little bit more speed than they have before. That's if you're back competition of ideas with any great fervor because obviously what this is shaping up as a situation where Holy Helena has a big tactical advantage on the other favorite and and she's been effective at Woodbine in the past. You look good winning the dance smartly last time Jimmy was giving a little bit of time since and I think she's a horse that that will really get the run of the race and and that's GonNa make her toffee. This could be a situation where on your your pick five. You're really leaning on those two pretty heavily and maybe you could give a little bit of a nod holy Helena on one one more additional ticket. I did want to try and make a case for to Riga and my hope is the Tyler Galileo. Maybe a little bit more aggressive with her than Johnny. Velazquez was was last time he finished just length and a half behind the competition of ideas did get into a little bit of trouble amazingly. She got into trouble in the three-horse rates which it happens of course and with a little bit cleaner run maybe second off the off the layoff off the ship in we can see some improvement grim oceans been a little the little laid back with her she she ran on July twentieth didn't work until August thirty first but might be one of those horses that can stay fit without doing that. I I'm always very very in tune and was looking at his horses in these kind of scenarios as they they generally overperform relative to their odds so I'm GonNa go ahead and include Theresa's well the and will include could starship jubilee more than likely those two has backups because I think they each offers some appeal at what should be better prices than the two chalks should note that ah Jimmy Jerkins after sending Holy Elena opt for the dance smartly basically is as left her there and oh my Gosh the stronach trainer but my Woodbine what is yes thank you Mike Doyle. Mike Doyle has been handling and Jimmy is on TV with seth deny after after precision is one and he told the story about Jimmy said he got the notification is it is stable mail all that Holy Helena had worked Labor Day weekend and so gets the notice he opens it up and Airy Jerry Sees Holy Elena six longs one eleven and three Jimmy said got on the phone to this is Mike what's going on up there and he said I really don't worry though or she did it easy. Did it easy the track was the polly was slick. It was cold or whatever yeah what eleven at three and you know what I did. I brought up with Jimmy that great story that is his father told about Bo purple and going out to Hawthorn for the Hawthorne Gold Cup on Tuesday the race as was Saturday and on Tuesday he gets a call from a Chicago sportswriter and said Jerkins. I wanted to ask you for comment about outvote purples work and said what about it. He says well he he he went a mile in one thirty. Two and three Korea broke the track record or mile. I think he went to violent at eight and broke the track record. What what forty seven forty six shades or something and and and Jerkin said you know? I'm sure he'll be fine and sure enough. He went out and won the Gold Cup but that was funny. One one eleven and three

T-Mobile says Sprint merger will boost 5G speeds by up to 6 times
"Pending merger of sprint and T mobile that subcommittees chaired by Mike Doyle of Pennsylvania. Before we get started. I want to express my condolences to congresswoman Debbie Dingle on the loss of her husband. John John was a dear friend and mentor to me and many members of this committee is passion for oversight accountability legislative process in his lifetime of public services. An example to all of us his passing is great loss door nation, the congress and this committee, which he loved so much John may you rest in peace. Jerrell now recognize himself for five minutes. Welcome to the subcommittee on communication and technologies hearing on protecting consumers and competition and examination of the T mobile sprint merger. This hearing is noteworthy because the last time a merger hearing was had before the subcommittee was almost nine years ago. And in that time there have been numerous mergers within the subcommittee's jurisdiction that have gone without a hearing. I believe it's the duty of this subcommittee to allow our members to publicly discussing debate the merits of these transactions and the question the relevant. Stakeholders the merchant before us today is between two of our country's national wireless providers T mobile and sprint these companies have acted as disrupters competitors and low cost options in the wireless. Marketplace. T Mobile's ankerium strategy has ended anti consumer practices such as data caps restrictive. Concrete contracts and much more. They have also worked hard to build a robust national network that by some accounts is the fastest in the nation. For its part sprint has been a leader. And roaming agreements for rural providers and wholesale access for prepaid and lifeline providers. Sprint has worked. Hard to bring its networks that within one percent of rises in terms of network reliability. Or so their commercial say-so consumers have also benefited from sprint positioning itself. As the best value. They are offering a plan right now where new customers can get a year of free service when they switched from another carrier, which sounds amazing. However, this hearing isn't about the benefits that both of your companies have brought to the market. It's about the extrordinary impact that you're combined company could have on the public and the marketplace if this merger goes through we will hear today from the Communication Workers of America from the world wireless association and public knowledge they claim that this merger will have. Negative impacts on low. Income consumers rural providers and jobs in the wireless industry. CWA's testimony suggests that this merger will result in up to thirty thousand job losses in the industry and a reduction in industry pay by as much as three thousand dollars for employee the rural broadbands associations testimony argues that rule consumers will pay more. They claim that sprint charges twenty times less than T mobile or other national carriers for roaming agreements, these agreements allow customers of rural carriers who build their own networks in the most rural communities they use their phones throughout the country. What guarantees rural providers have that they won't face increased cost if t mobile doesn't adopt sprints practices and public knowledge is testimony states that consumer prices will go up due to the reduction in the number of national carriers from four to three they argue that the merger. Would hit low income consumers the hardest because the number of carriers offering wholesale access would drop from three to sprint AT, and T and T mobile so access to their networks to prepaid and lifeline providers who then sell that service under their own brands what remedy to these carriers or their customers. Have if the not mobile decides it wants to get out of the wholesale business or drastically raise rates to that end the FCC found in their communications. Marketplace report that the wireless market concentration was currently at thirty one hundred h h h h I'm measures how competitive market is with a higher number. Meaning it's less competitive. The Justice Department's horizontal merger guidelines state that a market with an h H I above twenty five hundred is highly concentrated, so we really aren't starting from a great spot an increase of. Two hundred points would raise significant concerns about competition. This merger is expected to result in a market power increase of two hundred eighty points for the post played market and two thousand fourteen points for the prepaid market that would take the prepaid market from where it is right now at twenty four sixty seven which is just under the OJ's threshold to forty four eighty one a level that raises lots of red flags these kinds of numbers have historically resulted in higher prices for consumers less competition unless innovation I appreciate both executive statement that they believe that this merger will benefit consumers and result in lower prices and their commitments to an accelerated deployment of five G and the promises of expanded rural broadband, these are national objectives that are important to me and many members of this committee. However, I've seen a lot of mergers in this. Industry and others. And it's hard to think a one where consolidation didn't result in people losing their jobs prices going up and innovation being slightly. I look forward to hearing from the testimony from our two telephone companies that wish to merge in from the other panelists and with that. I yield to the ranking Member Mr ladder for five minutes favors chairman if I could just take a point of personal privilege also to express, my deepest sympathies to our friend and colleague, Debbie Dingle on the loss of chairman Dingell. And the chairman love this committee in this room is named after and I had the privilege of getting to know him in my days now. On this committee grind, I got congress. Again, he loved this committee. He loved this house. But most of all he loves his district state of Michigan in all that he did fourth. So with that. I wish the Bengals my my deepest sympathies on the loss of chairman. And again, this Sharon, thank you very much for convening. Our panel of us today into our witnesses. Thanks for much for being we appreciate your time. I look forward to hearing your expertise in different perspectives

T-Mobile, Sprint executives face skeptical House panel
"Barriers executives of T mobile and sprint have been defending their merger deal during testimony today before the house communications subcommittee committee chairman Mike Doyle, said the merger could bring market concentration to a level that raises lots of red flags, and he asked t mobile chief executive John Leger.
