You know, as I've said, hey, what's with the, what's these drops of water coming in the sky? And so of course, now we can have full blown Mike Shaw action talking, so. Let's see, 73 degrees at the barn in Pomerene today with Dr. Neal and you know, and the weirdest thing ever. So we have a, we know there's a little, there's a couple of little mountain fires. I don't say little, from the, from a lightning strike. And there's one I guess on Push Ridge. And then Dr. Neal sent me the wildfire risk in Oral Valley literally like 24 hours ago.
According to wildfire risk to communities, Oral Valley has a high risk of fire, higher than 86% of communities.
But it's still raining, which is nice. Very nice. So busy show today. We have Senate Majority Leader Steve Carbone. It will call in from Phoenix for a discussion of the budget that just passed. Or agreed to pass whatever we're doing here. And then Hessam Rahimian is going to call in from LAX. He's got thoughts about the Iranian peace deal. Captain Bob will be back next. He's still on vacay. So he'll be back next Monday. And Bruce is coming in a week early. He's on tomorrow with me. Busy show tomorrow, Andy Biggs. And a variety of other folks. What else do we got here? Good morning to Billy Beard, Mother Mucker, Glorious Morning, Eastside Ransplat, Blessed with Thunder, Lightning Rain and a Rainbow. Horses are frisky and happy, God is good. I like that.
Murph88, good morning bud. Jamie, good morning. Rex, you're gonna have to wait next week for Captain Bob, I'll do my best on his. He's still sending me stuff, as we like to say.
What else do we got here? Good morning to Jim White, Pat Hirsch, Sally.
The USC Fight Champ from last night is from Stafford, Arizona. Look at that. And good morning to Patrick. Good morning to you all. Gonna be a very busy day. I got so many tabs open on this computer. But Alexander is gonna, he's having a seizure. He doesn't even know why. That's how crazy it is.
Actually coming up at 9 o'clock, good morning Bob Watson. We saw Bob yesterday. We'll talk about that in a little bit.
Nine o'clock, Clint has Jackie Craig. She's a write-in candidate for the Marana town council race. And from the notes I'm seeing out there, it'll be the debut of Studio B is what it looks like, unless someone tells me different. So you'll see the brand, our second studio with Clint and Jackie on Marana, Oro Valley Experience. So Neil didn't get a drop of rain. It's been raining. It rained at my house at, I don't know. What was it like? 5, 6, 536, something like that. And I went to bed at 830-ish and it was still raining. And I woke up this morning and it was still raining. So it's been wild. Bill number two said there was a little bit of an electric knockout in his part of, just briefly, in his part of OV. So monsoon season is here.
I have so many stories. We got to do our weekend round up first for our good friend Jonathan Hoffman.
What do we got here today? So very busy weekend of campaign stuff, World Cup and America. That's the best way I can describe it so far. So Friday, actually I did sign work with Lawrence for the campaign. Then I had a quick event.
Then we had the Friday US game in the World Cup. That was, they played well. Padagwai wasn't that good, but we were good, but we'll see next game Friday. We'll see how all that plays out against Australia, who played, I think better than people thought and upset Turkey on Saturday night. So we'll see how that plays out. But we saw the US game. They said it was the most people watching a US World Cup game in history.
16.6 million people watched the US-Padagwai game. And for some reason, our coach Maurizio Pochettino, who's actually Argentinian by Italian descent, I think I called him Italian last week with Greg, he's starting to look like Russell Crowe a little bit. Just let everyone know that, which is fine. Fine actor.
So we did that.
Saturday morning, we had an amazing sign wave on Oracle Road with our, you can bring that picture up, Shay, with all the, your beautiful collage. Margot also hung out over the weekend for soccer and brought some Italian goods from Viro's. So Shay's, Shay got a couple of Italian butter cookies today for breakfast. But we'll start on the bottom. We had a great turnout. First sign wave in Oro Valley history or possibly anything in Arizona history that included a cute mini donkey named Smooch the Wonder Donkey. He was great. We got a lot of, a lot of hunks, a lot of hunks. I don't think anyone gave us the wrong finger. I think it was all positive hunks. I would say at least, we were out there for over an hour, I would say, I bet at least 10 to 15 hunks. And then we had some folks stop by.
