| 0:05.3 | Today is Wednesday, July 1st. |
| 0:07.6 | I am Billy Rutledge along with Shannon the Dude. |
| 0:09.6 | Give us a call on the Clark's Pump and Shop phone line. |
| 0:11.9 | That's 859-280-2287. |
| 0:15.3 | Or you can text us. |
| 0:16.2 | That number is 502-265-66, our Quantro Auto Group text line, Billy and the Dude, ready to go for the first day of July. |
| 0:25.4 | And a day in which I'm glad I work indoors. |
| 0:28.8 | The triple-digit feels-like number yesterday really made me wonder or realize that summer is here. |
| 0:36.0 | And we are in the dog days of summer. It is going to be hot once again. A heat dome has settled over the central part of the United States. I'm sure you feel the same way. Shannon, you've been working inside for 20, 30 plus years at this point. Yesterday, man, I was out there shoveling rocks again, trying to finish up my landscape project. Oh, yeah, landscaper dude. Yeah, I went out there and I was just shoveling away. So, yeah, I would say everybody, be careful out there, especially if you get to work outdoors today. I'll probably be out there at some point later on today again, doing some stuff later on tonight. Look at you. You don't care about the heat. No, you know, I'm young. I can still get it. Yeah, of course I am. Yeah, no problem for me. So it's July 1st. It's also, by the way, Billy, you probably saw this. It's Bobby Bonilla Day. Yes. That's right.

| 1:36.8 | The Bobby Biniya Day, where he gets paid every July 1st, $1.1 million until the year |
| 1:44.0 | 2035. And he hasn't played baseball in what, 25 years? |
| 1:48.7 | When's the last time Bobby? Did he retire in the late 90s? When did he retire? |
| 1:52.6 | He hadn't played a MLB game in 25 years. Back in 2000, the Mets owed Bonilla $5.9 million. |
| 2:00.1 | But instead of taking the cash up front, he negotiated a deal that spread out $30 million in guaranteed payments each year from 2011 to $2035. |
| 2:09.6 | So he will get his over a million dollars today. |
| 2:12.8 | Wow. |
| 2:13.1 | Probably a hero of yours. |
| 2:14.2 | Is he not, dude? |
