Welcome back at W n s t Towson Baltimore and Baltimore positive we were positively making the Maryland crabcake tour happen I wear my Costas in shirt Dundalk established 1971. I was established in Dundalk in 1968 We’re going to be establishing a little place down there for some crab Imperial and some pics thing sort of crab soup.

It’s been fun having those guys on and also made a new friend Jeff rat now came down and discussed the land development around the Inner Harbor and harbor place and the future of all that I’ve done a lot of Maryland stadium authority stuff with Tom Kelso. I hope everyone as concerned citizens is listened to that all said Neil DeMoss on from field of schemes this week. John Waters is dropped by so we’ve done a lot a lot of things around here. crabcake tour is at Costas this week. Next week. We are at Pappas on Tuesday in Parkville Parkville location right in the area and a lot of Towson folks stopping by it’s gonna be a good time. Right before Thanksgiving on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Then the week after Thanksgiving. We are on the road brought to you by our friends at window nation 866 90 nation to buy two you get two free throughout the holiday season as well as Jiffy Lube multi care, pitching into Maryland make the Maryland crabcake tour. Great. So the following week, we’re Coco’s on Wednesday. Then on a Thursday the 30th. We’re going to gertrudes at the BMA with Dan Rodricks promoting his show in the holiday season as well as on Friday, the first of December going to start the month up at Hollywood casino up in Cecil County in Perry Ville going to be there given away Maryland lottery scratch offs and chatting with lots of great great guests coming up all month long.

We’re at State Fair in Catonsville on December the fifth, we’re going to be at foreign data with curio wellness on the 15th I did a tour of their entire cannabis operation from grow and then they don’t you see, it’s crazy to becoming packaging and gummies all the way through all of it happens right here in Baltimore County. It’s amazing. So I’m learning a lot. Still have a lot to learn about football. Luke, I’ll tell you this because I thought a two touchdown lead against the Cleveland Browns if you’re a Super Bowl contender at home, you to salt the game away and you win the game. And I know we blame the defense to some degree but well, the offense didn’t carry its water. The offense couldn’t get first downs the offense couldn’t keep the ball. The offense had bad luck. In the case of Lamar and the ball going up in the air when one of those things happens that it comes down as a pick six is tragic. But you even missed an extra point to open the door like the Browns brown. You and I reach for our Twitter to do that two or three times on Sunday. And they brown and as I’ve written Baltimore positive. That was sort of a brown out wasn’t it? Yeah, I
8
Luke Jones 03:18
mean, it’s just it’s it was such an odd performance from the offense because you look at elements of it. I mean, they average 6.1 yards per play you look at that Nestor just in isolation. That’s really good. You want yeah, you must you know, they had some big plays. I mean, you get the 40 yard touchdown to Beckham, Keaton Mitchell which you know, there’s a lot of talk about why he didn’t get the ball more but
Nestor J. Aparicio 03:40
well there you have two big plays there they had they had some explosive they had some big plays no doubt and we’ve been talking about that right about them. That’s the only way they score if they didn’t have those plays they wouldn’t have scored on Sunday. So I
Luke Jones 03:51
mean, you look at you look at parts of it and parts of it looked good I mean they had the great opening drive after the Hamilton pick six I mean there are 14 Nothing less than five minutes into the game. They had a really good drive coming out of the Second Coming out of the third quarter after the choppy end to the first half that included the the blocked field goal you know Lamar with with the pic. So you’re feeling good about that. But they went to have eight on third down. I mean, think about it there to third down conversions were the touchdown to Beckham. And then late in the game they did convert to Lamar completed one does a flowers late in the game that felt big at the time, but then they you know, the dry piddled out after that. So yeah, they just there were too many stretches of Sunday’s game where the offense just couldn’t do a whole lot. And look, this goes back to what I said at the beginning of our previous conversation we had about the defense, some really good Browns defense, so I’m more inclined to give them more credit than I than I am to give the Browns offense too much credit, you know based on how they performed by and large this season. And and how Deshaun Watson has performed really since he’s become a Cleveland Brown. So you know, you want to be mindful of that. And yeah, they did lose Ronnie Stanley in the third quarter, which I think it appeared to compromise, frankly, their confidence to run the football and, and try to sustain some drives that way. But it just, it wasn’t good enough over the course of 60 minutes and you look at it, you say, okay, 31 points on paper. That sounds like a good enough offensive performance, right? But seven of those came on the Kyle Kyle Hamilton pick six, and then the GUS Edwards touchdown. I mean, James crochet old friend muffs that pot and they get the ball at the 12 yard line. So they were still
Nestor J. Aparicio 05:41
8took him 15 minutes to score. Right, right. Right. I
Luke Jones 05:44
was just gonna say that. But any pick. But basically they were spotted. Yeah, they were kind of gifted 14 points almost, you know, by their defense and their special teams, although more so James crochet just flat out dropping a punt. So you look at Is
Nestor J. Aparicio 05:59
there any rule about spacing? You have to give a guy there?
Luke Jones 06:04
I mean, if he does, what, what do you mean? Space
8Nestor J. Aparicio 06:08
to catch the football literally, that you can’t rub your hands and Ben, you
Luke Jones 06:14
can’t? Like you can’t hit him as he’s trying to catch it. But if you don’t call for a fair catch, I mean, you know, you’re gonna be lit all you didn’t call for fair
Nestor J. Aparicio 06:20
catch. Fair enough. Like yeah, fair enough. Like I’m thinking about it. And I’m thinking like, oh, he
Luke Jones 06:26
8just left that. I mean, there was nothing he just flat out dropped that I mean, that’s
Nestor J. Aparicio 06:30
a fair call it the ball, dude. Or yeah, or no, but I’m saying like to me like he was the ball hit his mat, hit hit, like off the mask and shoulders and he was popped. And I was like, oh my god, like, I like he got blown up. I’m thinking fair catch. Did he sing? You know? Like, I know, I guess not. Right. That’s that’s really the issue there. He should have fair caught.
Luke Jones 06:53
I mean, and caught it off. Well, I was just gonna say, Yeah, you gotta catch up. You could pair catch it you Moffitt. That’s not going to help us. They’re catching it
Nestor J. Aparicio 07:01
and the guy gets up in your face when you’re fair catching. How much space do you get? I wondered because the ball damn near hit him on the back of the head. Who was it was due for a was made it down there first.
8Luke Jones 07:11
I’d have to honestly. I didn’t get a chance to review it.
Nestor J. Aparicio 07:15
Whoever got there got there real quick, is all I’m saying. Like it. It made me think was there a flag there that he in real time? I’m like, how did he not fair catch that he didn’t have any space to catch. It was my first thought. But if you don’t fair catch, they don’t give you space. They blow you up, you know? Yeah.
Luke Jones 07:32
Yeah. I mean, that’s just how little surprise I mean, it’s kind of speaks to Cleveland having a need there. Because I mean, he was he was signed to their practice squad not that long ago and then promoted to their 53 Man. So, you know, every team has needs at different positions over the course of a season, but, but the point is going back to the offense, I mean, you know, it’s not as though they had multiple, great long drives. I mean, they basically had, they had three legit drives in that game. You know, they the their first offensive drive with the Keaton Mitchell, play, and he was five yards or five plays, 79 yards, eight plays 56 yards when Tucker had the 37 yard field goal late in the first quarter. Me they had a 17 point first quarter, best first quarter they’ve had in a few years, points wise. And then yeah, they had that they had to drive with Beckham to start the third quarter, which again, was a quick strike six plays seven, eight yards to 31. But it was really a Cleveland kind of did what the Ravens like to do the teams right and that’s have these long, pronounced soul crushing kind of drives that you know, tire out your defense keeps your offense off the field. I mean, the ravens, They were bad on third down as I said, they really couldn’t get into the running game the way they wanted to. And, and even when they did run the ball on the second half, it wasn’t very good. And I’ll hear it. Look, I’ll hear it just like anyone else. Keith Mitchell needs to touch the ball more. I mean, this. This kid is electric. But I’ll remind he’s also an undrafted rookie who missed a good bit of time missed the beginning of the season. Is he as well versed in the playbook in pass protection, blitz pickup, all the different things that even a run? Yes, even a running back has to be able to do to unseat Gus Edwards. And he’s not going to do that because Gus Edwards has a different style back obviously. But you know, that’s certainly something that is it was asked about John Harbaugh wasn’t gonna throw Todd Monken under the bus and wasn’t gonna throw Keith Mitchell under the bus if the reason is he doesn’t know the entire playbook yet to the degree that he needs to. And I’m not to be clear, I’m not saying that is the case. I’m just explaining potential reasons why he might not be out there more but the point is, you know, they just they weren’t able to sustain drives nearly enough and we get into this complement this idea of complimentary football where your offense helps the defense and vice versa and There just wasn’t a whole lot of that going on on Sunday, especially in the second half. I mean, defense couldn’t get off the field. Cleveland was eight of 16. on third down the Ravens were two of eight on third down, you know, that’s, that’s an area where the Ravens have really thrived when you talk about what their third down offense is look like and what their third down defenses look like, you know, they both have been, their defense was third down, I think, eighth in the NFL, which is on the low side compared to most of their rankings. And they
Nestor J. Aparicio 10:28
8fail on third down that six punts or field goals. They haven’t like the fourth and one and fourth and two, and we’re on the 44 yard line. And we’re gonna go, Ben, Ben, a lot of that, you know, even in these blowout wins, it’s been more like the fourth down thing that they had going for them that extra play, that they manage over the body of work to want to, they haven’t gotten to the desirable fourth down situations. They haven’t been close in some cases as an offense. Yeah,
Luke Jones 10:56
yeah. I mean, that’s something boy we talked about in 19. When things were really humming for them. I mean, anywhere on the field, it was fourth and one I mean, even at their own 25 yard line. They were going right. I mean, that’s just how it was. And we haven’t seen that. And John Harbaugh hasn’t been as aggressive in some of those spots.
Nestor J. Aparicio 11:14
And I’m not even on the sideline whispering in his ear.
Luke Jones 11:17
It’s not even a knock it right up. Well, it’s an observation more than anything else. But I mean, it’s just what we saw Sunday again, there, you saw the chunk place. You know, I mean, Mark Andrews, who was otherwise really, really quiet had a 36 yard receptions, a flowers had the 18 yard reception, Bateman had an 18 yard cat Beckham, who did not play a whole lot, mind you, but had the 40 yard touchdown. And on the third down to open up the third quarter, Keith Mitchell, of course, had a long catch in addition to his touchdown run. So yeah, they got some chunk plays, but they just couldn’t put together sustain these drives. And, you know, and then you couple that with the defense not being able to get off the field. I mean, you Cleveland controlled time of possession. I mean, that’s that was a big part of this. I mean, there weren’t many drives in this game overall and including for Cleveland, because, you know, they just, they put together seven minute drives, 10 minute drives, I mean, so you look at the final, we talked about this a little bit. And some of the fallout leading into Thursday night potentially mean, defense was on the field a whole lot. And the offense couldn’t stay on the field a whole lot, you know, at times in Sunday’s game. So, and again, I can expect this offense to come out and marched down the field over and over and over against a Cleveland defense that I mean, most people will perceive the ravens and the Browns is like Coke or Pepsi in terms of best defense in the league. And San Francisco might have something to say about that before. It’s all said and done. But that’s been the perception, right? I mean, it’s been one and two, I mean, no matter how you want to look at it, you know, DVOA you know, all kinds of different analytics, yardage points allowed all these different things. I mean, they they really stacked up, one or the other and most categories. So I’m not shocked that the offense didn’t march down the field and score five touchdowns against this Browns defense. Without
8Nestor J. Aparicio 13:09
Stanley and Moses, let’s say right, let’s go back to like the team that was on the field three weeks ago, beating the snot out of the lions. It’s not the team you have when you take two $20 million players out of it to your anchor players. Yeah, yeah. I
Luke Jones 13:22
mean, Moses isn’t a $20 million player, but
Nestor J. Aparicio 13:24
he Stanley’s I’m saying, Sure, alien, Humphrey. I’m
Luke Jones 13:29
8talking about the offense. Sure, no question, no question. And like I said, I do think Stanley’s exit, probably played a part in how they call it, you know how Todd Monken called the rest of the game. Now, that’s not to absolve him. But I think that’s part of the potential explanation there as far as you know, why it looked the way it did. And, you know, people can look at it and say, they should have run the ball more, and I’ll hear that. I mean, there’s certainly a couple spots here and there, they could have run more, but even when they ran it, they didn’t have a whole lot of success. Go look at the rushing yardage in the second half. I mean, even when they did it wasn’t very good. So just wasn’t, wasn’t good enough. And, you know, it felt like they did. Early in the game. They did a decent job in pass protection. But then you know, we saw Myles Garrett show up at some critical junctures. And Lamar not be as protected and Lamar. I don’t I didn’t think he was awful by any means. But we didn’t see a great version of Lamar Jackson on Sunday, either, and, obviously, turn the ball over in a couple of spots. So it was just it was just it. I wasn’t nearly as surprised to see the offense perform the way that it did against the Browns defense because I did respect the Browns defense and thought that was a very legitimate, formidable, dangerous defense. And I think the numbers really supported that. So I was more surprised by how the Ravens defense struggled, but at the same time, they just wasn’t the up variation across the board wasn’t nearly complimentary enough to, frankly protect what should have been a lead that you could protect in the fourth quarter. You know, you’re you’re up to scores and they just weren’t good enough in either either of those phases to get the job done.
Nestor J. Aparicio 15:14
They just weren’t. It was kind of like a soul sucking loss in the way that like, I picked the browns in my segment last week with Christian Horton who’s good. Yeah, well, you were getting six points. So I said you give me six points. But you thought the Ravens would win outright though. I had the Ravens winning by two I thought to be fair enough, on that’s where I had it. 2321 is what I picked it. And I just thought six points in a division game. The Browns are coming off a big game, the ravens, the ravens are bound for some sort of a letdown, you know, is the way I sort of thought about it, that they’re going to play more of a slobberknocker kind of an AFC North kind of a game that we’re gonna make mistakes. I predicted turnovers you know, why predicted turnovers? The Ravens have been generous as teams go Lamar has been too generous as things go that mesh point things been a problem, like all of that, right. But more than that, they’re really good defense and they’re gonna hack at the ball. Why are they going to hack it the ball a it’s what they do there. Jim Schwartz’s defense, they’re aggressive. Miles Garrett, they’re a great defense under themselves in the modern NFL. But more than that, when teams have a propensity to fumble, all you teach all weeks hack, hack, hack, we’ll get our ass kicked, let Lamar have eight yards, let them have 12 yards, knock him out about slobberknocker Hey, get take 15 yards, no problem. But at some point, the third quarter we’re gonna pop the ball. In a three point game, we’re gonna pop the ball loose, and we’re gonna fall on it. We’re gonna run to Sean we’re gonna win this game because we’re gonna pop the ball loose. And I’m sure that’s how I felt I went to Cleveland radio last week. I didn’t run the piece here this week, quite frankly, because it was kind of late in the week when I did it with Kenny Rhoda should have run that piece. But I said, pop the ball free turnovers turnovers turnovers. And that ball that Lamar threw off the hat, you know, hits up in the air. I mean, it literally was a jump ball. And for it to come down the way it came down. You know, in high step with a dB, not a lineman, not a linebacker, you know, it stayed up so long. And then it’s a pick six, and that could have gone a million I was just bad luck. I mean, I I said that at the time, not not one for luck, me throw a better pass, don’t get into all of that area. But there’s a luck element to that we’re like, that’s the kind of ish that’s gonna go down for you to lose to the Cleveland Browns. When you’re up 14 Did nothing in the beginning of the game, and you add your own gift that they need that call Hamilton play, show through those plays in a vacuum are outliers, and they balance themselves out. But in the end, when the Browns even missed an extra point open the door like the Raven said it was a putrid, hideous, awful loss that they better not top it with let Joe burrow come here Thursday. I mean, this is a really crucial couple of days, based on what we saw on Sunday.
Luke Jones 18:14
Oh, no question about it. And I mean, to go back to those two pick sixes. I mean, let’s give credit to the beginning of the play. I mean, Hamilton bats it up in the air. But yeah, if you wanted to bat you know, that bounces right to your right, it stays up in the air and you take it Same, same. Same deal with the Lamar pick six. I mean, it’s a great play by the defensive lineman to bat it up in the air, but then you’re at the mercy where it’s gonna go in the same way that as a baseball player, the only thing you can control is making hard contact. If the infielder or the outfielders position perfectly. There’s
Nestor J. Aparicio 18:49
another example, Shannon Sharpe against Denver going down the sideline. Oh,
8Luke Jones 18:53
absolutely. And this is what’s so frustrating about how the Ravens have lost so many of these games over the last two years, there has been some of that. There’s, and I say this all the time. We all like to think that art when we’re watching our teams, you know, when we’re looking at it as fans, that they control everything? No, there’s a lot of random things that happen over the course of a game. The problem is, if you don’t do the things that you can control well enough, it leaves it up to some chance, right where the ball might bounce the wrong way. So, you know, you mentioned the missed extra point that Cleveland had. I mean, the Ravens had a field goal blocked, you know, I mean, special teams have not been as good for the Baltimore Ravens this year, which is kind of crazy to say that because we know what it is year in and year out, but it’s been a very choppy operation for the special teams compared to their normal standard. So, you know, it’s just, you know, they haven’t they haven’t been fine enough in areas where you expect them to be fine. And these losses where they’ve had leads, and they, you know, they blow it. I mean, it’s just, it’s as simple as that. So, you know, I mean, it’s, again, going back since we started talking about the the offense, I can’t say I’m stunned by how the offense performed on Sunday, and I didn’t expect them to go out there and put 30 plus points up, and technically the team did, you know, they scored 31 points, but we know that the offense wasn’t responsible for all of that. And yeah, I wasn’t shocked by that. I, I picked the ravens to score 23 points, I picked the 2310 game. I was feeling the Ravens defense, and I thought the offense would be not as good as it was against Seattle and Detroit not that would have been okay. You know, that’s okay. But when you have every phase letting down the way that they did on Sunday, that’s how you get beat. And that’s how you blow a 14 point lead in the fourth quarter. So it has to be better. There’s no question about that. And just as we talked about, with the defense, you got to turn the page quickly. It’s going to be really interesting to see what this offensive line looks like this week, you know, assuming we’re not gonna see Stanley, who knows with Morgan Moses with the shoulder. I mean, he practice last week, but he didn’t play Sunday. You know, what, what changes as far as Thursday night, you know, does he give it a go? That moves Macquarie back to left tackle, but if he does, if he can’t go, then you’re talking about Macquarie and Daniel Foley lay, Kevin Zeitler. left the game very,
Nestor J. Aparicio 21:27
can I say something? Can I, when you say go ahead for lay, lay, and and and Macquarie, what I would say to you is they can’t win a Super Bowl that way. I mean, that’s what that I would say. Fight or, but I don’t think it’s gonna survive half a season in a playoff. I mean, I, I just, I remember watching Stanley go down a couple years ago and saying to my wife, like, they can’t win the Super Bowl without him. They need him to win the Super Bowl. And I don’t even know the version of Ronnie Stanley, we have we can go through that. I mean, we’re not even at this point. Because of the injury. I just, I fear for that as much as I do. Oh, my God, we’re playing the Bengals Oh, we have a tougher schedule. But I fear the loss of a Pro Bowl corner and a left tackle. And even if they’re in and they’re not great. That’s not good. And the Morgan Moses thing to your point, it’s starting to stack up against the guy who doesn’t miss time. So I raved about good health. Last week, I wrote about good health. Last week, we talked about Goodell. But to your point, you’re you are 60 minutes in this league away from catastrophe. And I don’t just mean blowing the game against the browns. I mean, you know, dare I say number eight and Lamar and keeping them upright, but part of keeping them upright is having left tackles to keep them upright. Ever. That’s it, that’s all.
Luke Jones 22:47
And both tackles. I mean, we he got hurt in Denver, it was you know, coming from the other side, you know, it wasn’t
Nestor J. Aparicio 22:55
8broken in half, right, literally, right. I
Luke Jones 22:58
mean, that was James first being pushed into his knee, James versus playing left tackle, because Eugene Monroe couldn’t stay healthy at that point in his career. So yeah, I mean, it’s, you know, it’s not sounding the alarm. But it’s, there’s concerns when you’re talking about your Offensive Tackles and their health. And, you know, I mean, with Stanley, I mean, this, this the same knee that he hurt early in the season. I mean, again, we’ll see what the imaging looks like and all that. And I’m not going to speculate about how long he’s going to be out. But you would think he’s at least out Thursday night, right? I mean, just knowing the history of how Ronnie Stanley has bounced back or not bounced back from injuries, I mean, just just the reality of where he’s been. I’m not being mean, it’s just, you know, its history. And in the case of Moses, I mean, what version of Oregon Moses, are you getting? Is that shoulder gonna hold up? You know, is he dealing with something that’s going to require surgery, but he’s trying to put it put it off. I mean, we saw this years ago with Marshall yonder, who had to literally switch sides because his shoulder was so messed up. But that was the only thing that saved him from going on IR back in, what was it? 2016? I think it was. So you know, it’s not ideal. I mean, especially when you’re talking about guys that are so important to your success. And the saving grace for this week. Nestor is Cincinnati was already without Sam Hubbard, this past Sunday. And Trey Hendrickson got hurt late in that game and early indication or, you know, he might miss some time, you know, with a knee issue. So the good thing for the Ravens would be Cincinnati’s pass rush, not being at full strength, you know, the way, you know, way it’s shaping up at least early on in the week, you know, as long as it sounds funny to say early in the week talking about a Thursday game because like you said, it’s it’s upon you just like that. So neither of these teams gonna be at 100% There’s no question about that. It’s a Thursday night game. you tape it up, right? you tape it up, you rub dirt on it, you go out there and play the game. I mean, that’s, that’s how this works. So, you know, they’ve got to find a way they find a way. They’ve got some rest coming up, which will help Stanley We’ll help him Morgan Moses, you hope it’ll help Marlon Humphrey that it’s not, you know, a catastrophic kind of injury despite some of the early speculation. So, you know, that’s just they gotta find a way they gotta find a way on both sides of the ball Cincinnati saying the same exact thing after a loss to the Texans, and we’re gonna see how it plays out. But boy, this game is going to be so pivotal to what happens the rest of the way in the AFC north. I mean, it’s, you hate it being a Thursday game for that reason, just for both teams, quite frankly, knowing that it’s not the full representative effort that you typically are going to see. But gotta make the best of it, they got to find a way they do it, they’ll be fine moving forward in the sense of keeping themselves in really good position in this division. And in this conference.
Nestor J. Aparicio 25:48
You know, like to tell the story from back in the day I went to work at the news American, we’d have a guy that would call the newsroom back at the news American 1984 85 and this is back in the days when like home team sports just started cable TVs you’re an infant you’re like one or two and a guy will call from Highland town and me to answer the phone sports you know, can you tell me if the games on color or black and white tonight and he would ask so on Thursday I just hope the games on color and not black and white or whatever the digital age is I’m hoping I can watch it on my television as opposed to my video screen. I didn’t care enough to try to find the bears. Commanders game weeks ago or whatever some of these god awful bubbles but but least these are two great quarterbacks. Big teams coming off awful losses. Pivotal game, Steelers are winning the Browns are winning they play each other this week. Luke doesn’t even have to go out to the castle and contend with the lies this week. Although we’ll try to figure it all out because when they lace them up at eight o’clock 820 on on Thursday night, we’ll know who’s healthy and who’s not healthy. But certainly this is a really weird week. A long off time we got by weeks coming up a trip out to LA we have turkey to eat. We have crab cakes to eat for crying out loud. We’re going to be Costas on Tuesday. This week. We’re going to be at Pappas in Parkville next Tuesday, then we make it to Coco’s on the 29th we’re going to be at Gertrude at the BMA on the 30th we’re going to be at Hollywood casino at the sports book up there with Kristian Orton on the first that is the Marilyn Indiana hoops game Maryland basketball. That’s its own thing. And Luke will have some updates on Oreo awards. I love all of these awards in the offseason. I would have preferred the parade but we’ll get to that as well but it’s big football week around here. Bengals in town, we got the Maryland crab cake tour out on the road. It’s all brought to you by our friends at the Maryland lottery. I have these ravens scratch offs to give away we gave some away of fate leaves on Friday had a great conversation with Bill Cole Mac Campbell, who is runs the Baltimore Convention Center who’s a lifer friend of Alan McCallum so you know he’s good people joined us and we had some fun we talked about deviled eggs. You don’t want to know the outcome of that I had some shrimp salad we talked about. We talked about all the salads, potato salad, macaroni salad, all those things I don’t eat only salad. I eat Greek salad. That’s what I’m going to cost this this week going to Pappus next week, Coco’s after that that’s kind of salad I want Greek salad gave me a salad cabbage up in Philadelphia. Now another reason not to go to Philadelphia, Tommy Commonweal and a young Rumblers coming down here on the second play in the record as well. So I want to give a shout out to that. Get your tickets you want to rock, get over to the record on the second. Even you young guys, Luke bring your sister and your brother down you’re showing rock and roll is all about.
