Rick Bucher this hour NFL or Kyle Long next hour and Joy Taylor is joining me this morning as we continue to find engaging topics believe it or not without sports

Also a very encouraging day we live in the state of California which was the most cautious big state we were very cautious our governor Gavin Newsom very cautious I don't know what happened in the last 48 hours to 72 hours I've been texting people this morning somebody put heat on him business leaders the billionaire group put heat on him but suddenly California is open for business come one come all did you notice that yesterday joy had happened very quickly I was

very surprised to get that alert on my phone I was like what's this we think we skip okay but again like any positive news I'm here for so it feels good this morning it does feel good it's very California New York are open for business I think people are finally realizing it's just not a health issue it is an economic issue we have an
