0:00.0	Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to our Humbley Bo, the Thunderdome, on this
0:05.7	Wat Wednesday, November 12th, 2025.
0:09.3	This sports program begins right now.
0:13.8	Football!
0:14.6	It is absolutely magical.
0:16.0	We're so incredibly thankful that we get a chance to chat about it every single day,
0:18.9	and there's some news that is popping up around the football world that we will certainly talk about, both in college and in the
0:24.1	NFL. Yesterday, obviously, we had the incredible honor of being down on Paris Island for Veterans Day
0:29.5	as all four of the main league commissioners dropped a note to the veterans, letting them know
0:34.6	how much we appreciate them. UFC President Dana White sent a message of appreciation and gratitude to our America's heroes.
0:41.1	We also had the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Doug Collins, who sent a message to the young vets out there.
0:46.8	And we also had the Commander-in-Chief on the show live.
0:50.8	I believe it's the second time that a sitting president has been live on an ESPN show.
0:55.6	The last one was from a Democratic political party. This one obviously representing, I guess,
1:00.4	the Republican political party. But in my eyes, he's the leader of the military and we were
1:05.2	celebrating the hell at a veteran's day. Now, there are people who are certainly not the most happy
1:10.3	that that happened, but I would like to say, every veteran military person I talked to is very grateful and thankful that we spotlighted the heroes of America who walk amongst us, who are willing to sign a line and go for the United States of America as opposed to anything else. So if you're against what happened yesterday, I'd like to say, you hate the troops. And you should go
1:27.5	ahead and swallow that and you can take that to where you want to go. And any president, any,
1:33.3	any president, okay, willing to come on our Veterans Day Celebration Spotlight show, Commander
1:40.1	and Chief, head of military, we would be very open to. So we would like to let any president know going forward that if we were allotted the opportunity to go to Paris Island for the first time ever and have a live show in front of actual Marines while they're doing their thing. And if we're going to celebrate Veterans Day, we're going to have all four of the commissioners, the heads of every single league in the United States of America, basically, and also have the
2:01.6	president of the UFC global thing come on, and the sergeant major of the Marines.
2:06.0	Future presidents, you always be welcome.
