And you don't have to look very far to see other illustrations of where these kinds of reports are way off the dime.
6:42
You know, if your tooth comes out, you can put it under your pillow and the little fairy will come in and give you a quarter when you wake up.
6:49
Well, it's a dollar now, but when we were growing up, it was a quarter.
6:52
And one of the interesting things about these maps that they have is the 18th and Vine Jazz District was included in there, but there's some pushback from people in that community because, hey, we weren't good enough for you to build a stadium here.
7:07
Why are we good enough for you to take our tax revenue? or include our tax revenue that we're going to need to develop the district and put it into a stadium that you said you didn't want to put in our area.

I think it's interesting that the national media sees it as very tight.
24:33
Eric? I want to use that too, only I want to switch it to the church that...
24:39
or the camp that used the...
10:05
Never mind, which NBA team versus NCAA team? Wasn't it a little bit too complicated to follow?
10:11
It was, and on a scale of 1 to 10, it's probably not on people's radar.
10:16
We're talking about something, they're going back with elections, they're going back with an indictment that was done, and people are paying $6 a gallon for gas.
10:26
But the interesting thing was that he was, it seemed like he was trying to win favor with the president.
10:32
He plays golf with him.
10:34
They're buddies, and he wants people to do that.
10:37
So it looked like he wanted to add a boy pat on the back or star or gold star or a cookie or something, and that didn't turn out to be...
14:57
And you wonder if Hamilton is really making a gamble with this kind of ad.
18:07
Is that, Eric, 5,000% more people clicking like on a Negro Leagues post, or is it a giant leap in the number of people actually going to the museum? I think Bob would like it to
18:18
be money coming in to build a new hotel in the surrounding area.
18:25
It's interesting because there's never really been a downswing since Bob has been there as an executive director.
18:33
I know when Greg Baker was there, there was some fumbling of the situation, but I think it's been well supported with Bob.
18:40
Bob is a great storyteller about Negro Leagues baseball.
18:44
I think there's a great interest in it, especially during baseball season.

25:01
Okay,
25:02
Eric? Monorail turning, coming down 18th Street.
0:39
Joining us now on the show, Eric Wesson, to give us an update on where is this legal dispute about the redistricting at? Eric, welcome to the show.
0:49
Hey, thank you so much.
0:50
I appreciate you having me on.
0:52
And this is a really complicated case, so I understand why folks might be feeling a little confused about what exactly is happening.
0:59
But I think that kind of sets the stage.
1:03
Missourians and Missouri legislature decided to enact a fair map.
1:09
So they wanted to make sure that the voters were represented.
3:00
Did I miss? Has that been approved for the ballot? I may have missed that.
58:51
And it looks to me like they're just winning left and right.
58:56
Yeah, I mean, I think the courts are kind of a tale of two stories.
59:00
So in the courts of appeals, in the U.S. Supreme Court especially, I mean, they've had unparalleled success.
59:06
Solicitor General John Sauer, who was notoriously made fun of as some guy from Missouri, who's a literal genius, has a track record at the U.S. Supreme Court like no one I've ever seen.
59:17
He and his whole team are putting up really hard cases, and they're winning.
59:22
And they're winning at the courts of appeals.
59:24
And what that means, the courts of appeals, they each cover multiple states.
64:27
Oh, my gosh.
