Jessica PaquetteGUEST
Well, and the racetracks are sort of the anchor of the agribusiness in so many of these states, too.
Jessica PaquetteGUEST
And with the loss of more and more racetracks from these major urban environments, like I, of course, will never get over the loss of Suffolk Downs in Boston, but Hawthorne in Chicago.
Jessica PaquetteGUEST
And I mean, Florida is having some problems.
Jessica PaquetteGUEST
And there are these markets that are going to lose racing.
Al RinaldoPANELIST
And this guy used to keep them down to Florida.
Al RinaldoPANELIST
And then he would bring them back up like Suffolk Downs or whatever.
Al RinaldoPANELIST
Sounds expensive, but go ahead.
Al RinaldoPANELIST
But he would fly them back on a jet.
Jessica PaquetteGUEST
So I knew him early in his career.
Jessica PaquetteGUEST
He was at Suffolk Downs.
Jessica PaquetteGUEST
I think he was three or four at that point.
Jessica PaquetteGUEST
And I mean, you see the pedigree and you go, oh my God.
Jessica PaquetteGUEST
I mean, horses like that don't wind up at Suffolk Downs.
Jessica PaquetteGUEST
And he was with someone who I really liked.
Jessica PaquetteGUEST
So I would go visit him in the barn quite a bit.

Here we go.

Steve Stevens, what does he say? I remember seeing the GBU at Suffolk Downs Drive-In.
ScottHOST
With my parents and sister when it came out.
ScottHOST
My dad, mom loved the music, but I was too young to appreciate it.
ScottHOST
What's the GBU? What's the GBU? What am I missing here? I remember seeing the GBU at the Suffolk Downs Drive-In Theater.
ScottHOST
What am I missing? Why am I drawing a blank? This isn't good.
ScottHOST
I don't like this.
Mark SmithGUEST
I don't know.
ScottHOST
[laughs] Listen, I, a friend of mine, and then we'll, we'll wrap it up, but a friend of mine, he said his father worked at the old racetrack over in, uh, Suffolk Downs in Revere, right?
Mark SmithGUEST
Uh-huh.
ScottHOST
Uh, and he said there were these two guys that worked there, these two Black guys, they were brothers, and their names were literally John and Johnny.
