Bien, Vinitos, that's California for welcome to the September 3rd edition of National Reviews, Radio Free California Podcast.

I'm Will Swain, president of the California Policy Center. You can find my colleagues and me at California Policy Center.org. You can find my friend and co-host David Bonson right here. He's an economist, the host of the Capitol Record podcast. He's the author of full-time, work and the meaning of life. That's a book. And of course, he's founder of the eponymous investment firm, the Bonson Group. Hello, David.

Hello, Will. How are you, sir? Great. Later in the show, we're going to have my pal,

Lance Christensen, talked to us about the final days of the legislative session that we're in now,

what he's looking at, and then we'll get him back here later to talk about what actually ends up on the governor's desk, which will be a pile of paper.

But in the meantime, David, did you watch the USC game on Saturday?

73 to 13, USC over Missouri State?

I went to the game, had a lovely time getting back into the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

Obviously, starting off with an opponent like that,

you don't really get a great feel for the team at that level competition. Though, as many pointed

out, we have actually had plenty of really bad teams we played in an opening game over the year

where you walked away with kind of like a gosh why did we kind of not get

going with that team and and struggle or whatnot and so you know for what we did see everything

looked really good it was a very hot day labor day weekend up in the coliseum but i like to what

i saw uh there's a new running back. I'm really big on this way.

I'm Jordan Kid.

We're going to need more time to see.

Michigan's coming to the Coliseum the second Saturday of April,

excuse me, of October, and we have several games between now and then to deal with.

So we'll go from there.

After each game, I like to go to

the opposing teams podcast. So I went to the Missouri State Bears podcast, and I got to tell you, David,
