| 0:00.0 | The baseball season is go, go, go. It's nonstop, relentless for every night, six straight months, |
| 0:06.6 | and then hopefully another month in October. You also have work, friends, family, and a million |
| 0:11.0 | other things going on. That's when you reach for a Coors Light. It's made to chill. There's only |
| 0:15.9 | one beer out there that's literally made to chill, and that's Coors Light. I mean, the mountains on |
| 0:20.8 | the bottles |
| 0:21.3 | and cans even turn blue when your beer is cold is there anything better than opening up your |
| 0:26.5 | refrigerator after a long day seeing that icy cold cores light can or bottle in your fridge |
| 0:33.5 | answer is no there's nothing better that's why when it's time to chill, you choose Coors Light. It's Mountain Cold Refreshment, made to chill. Coors Light is the one I choose when I need to unwind, so that's why, when you want to hit reset, reach for a beer that's made to chill. Get Coors Light and the new look delivered straight to your door with Drizzly or Instacart. Coors Brewing Company, Golden Colorado, and as always, celebrate.

| 2:02.4 | This week I was thinking about, okay, what am I going to talk about? What do I want to know more about? |
| 2:07.1 | And one thing that stuck out in my mind, and I believe it was because the Yankees were valued recently at |
| 2:15.3 | something like $4 billion. And I saw a fact that Steinbrenner invested like |
| 2:20.8 | $150,000 of his own money, and then boom, the franchise is worth billions. How did that happen? |
| 2:28.1 | The real number is $168,000. More on that in a few minutes. But that got me thinking, like, |
| 2:42.4 | how the hell did this dude go from investing $168,000 in the Yankees, |
| 2:44.5 | $2 billion franchise? |
