We're looking like Ron Burgundy News Team around here. So Barney Brether on the, Brether, I put Brenner and Weather.

No, Brenner and Brother. Barney Brether. Very good.

**Christopher DeSimone** (0:41)
Barney Brether on the weather desk today.

**Barney Brenner** (0:45)
Good morning, wakeys, cloudy out there. Beautiful, very nice color this morning on the sunrise.

**Christopher DeSimone** (0:52)
Oh, beautiful.

**Barney Brenner** (0:53)
Had some pretty shades. Good morning, all you wakeys.

**Christopher DeSimone** (0:56)
Any hot air balloons out there?

**Barney Brenner** (0:58)
I didn't see.

**Christopher DeSimone** (0:59)
I saw one last week.

**Barney Brenner** (1:00)
Yeah, we're getting out of the season.

**Christopher DeSimone** (1:03)
Yeah.

**Barney Brenner** (1:04)
Although if it's cool enough in the morning, well, in Phoenix, they go to high 80s overnight.

**Christopher DeSimone** (1:11)
Yeah. I saw a friend of mine lives up in the North Phoenix area and like up by Cave Creek in I-17.

**Barney Brenner** (1:19)
Yeah.

**Christopher DeSimone** (1:20)
And you could be walking around in the morning on a Sunday and there are, when it's a little cooler, of course, there's like, there could be 20 balloons hanging out over your head while you're walking around up there. It's pretty cool.

**Barney Brenner** (1:31)
It's an area they call Joe Max.

**Christopher DeSimone** (1:33)
That is very true. That is very true. All right. Good morning to John Holden, Keith, Billy, Pat, Cowboy Tilly. Good morning, all you beautiful people out there. Mother Mucker and other gorgeous sunrises to start the day.
Keith, rule number one, call stupid stupid. Well, actually, that was one of the alternate show titles when we first started. But my mom cleaned it up with Wake Up Tucson in those days.

**Barney Brenner** (2:00)
Good work, mom.

**Christopher DeSimone** (2:01)
Good morning to Murph88, good morning to Katherine Neal.
Half an inch of rain in 45 minutes in the Pomeranian yesterday. Jamie, good morning. And then Jim White, good morning. And he's the perfect transition. We'll see you tonight for the indoor barbecue, America 250 And we're doing a super terrific debate tonight at 6 o'clock. So please join us. And then I'll try to moderate some sort of discussion afterwards, how we thought everybody did.

**Barney Brenner** (2:38)
And dinner starts at 5 15
5 15 Very good.

**Christopher DeSimone** (2:42)
5 15 Give the wakeys enough time to get their plates, hobnob a little bit, and then settle in for a 6 o'clock debate.
So it's going to be a David, Andy, Scott Neely, not related to our other friend, Eastside Matt, and who's going to come out firing on Andy Biggs. Watch Scott Neely tonight. He's off the charts right now.

**Barney Brenner** (3:10)
And still thinking reservations for dinner?

**Christopher DeSimone** (3:12)
No. That closed yesterday at noon.
You didn't get your tickets?

**Barney Brenner** (3:18)
Oh, we got weeks ago, but a friend I'll mention, I had a couple hit me yesterday.

**Christopher DeSimone** (3:24)
So I'm talking with Clinton Tammy, sorry, Clinton Tammy, about figuring that out. So, but don't ask me anymore. There's a couple that asked yesterday, but I can't tell you right now. I'm just telling you it's closed down.
It's a deal until, unless I hear something different that, because, you know, they're making enough food for blank, right? No one wants to sit on 28 pounds extra of coleslaw, mac and cheese, and pulled pork.

**Barney Brenner** (3:57)
Oh, well, if you got extra, better get a couple more folk.

**Christopher DeSimone** (4:01)
Well, I know, I don't know what that is. Yep, so.

**Barney Brenner** (4:03)
Sure.

**Christopher DeSimone** (4:04)
Good morning to our friend, Bob Watson. Will I stream the post-debate discussion? Absolutely not.
That'll be tomorrow's show we'll have for that. But yeah, it's kind of one of those things where if you want the hot take right after you're going to have, you should have got a ticket by 12 noon yesterday.
So that's where we're at. Dan Shearer is going to join us. He might join us for our 6.3 interview because he was fascinated with the guest, and he's been on the show Good Morning Big Dave. This is our friend Alejandro Martinez Araiza, head of the National Food and Commerce Union in Mexico.
He wants to talk about replacement tariffs and different things like that in relation to the USMCA trade deal. He was really good the last time he came on. I really liked them. So they offered them up to me again. I said, well, let's give them a little shot at 6.30. So Bruce and Eb have a variety of Marana Town Council candidates on Inside Track as part of Big Wednesday. And then tomorrow I sit down with Schweikart, John Post, Chris King. I feel like there's somebody else at 6.30. It'll come back.
