It's the Downbeat on ninety seven to one, the freak good one. There there's a downbeat. Nice little Friday, April five, twenty twenty four. You are alive in the United States of America or abroad, Life's all right man, eight in the morning, it's the Downbeat. It's Kevin Danny, mikeyith JJ at Ben Rogers on Twitter. I don't know where else you put it, but he dropped the video of the Luca meet and greet. Uh oh, because dude, all week when they were pubbing that, I was
mean on what does it look like? I guess I thought it'd be in one of those like the little tequila club down under the thing. Yeah, but it was less formal than that. But they have the two guys who won and skin walking them down sit in front row during shoot around and there's like kind of nobody in there, so they're just wide eyed, and then they kind of go to the belly of the Beast down the hallway on the way to the locker room, and then there's Luca. I don't know if
you want to see outlooks. It's kind of cool, the little time lapse version of it. Yeah, and then because it's gotta be so ea like Luca, how's it work? You know, they're like, all right, I'll grab Lucas. Somebody had to grab Lucas. His skin is sort of out front, but you know they knew he was, they told him. But it's not like Luca's thinking about it. Oh yeah, comes over, taps them up. They get a picture, and then Lucas signed a couple
of jerseys. It looks like in a basketball card. And then it's kind of over, probably one minute, you know, definitely quit. Yeah, but the two guys are still kind of like fro you know, like, yeah, just a picture and assigned jersey. That's money. Ben said too that this these are guys who only they came to the station because of this contest they were happening, they didn't, you know, and now they're in and not of it. After a few days they love it. You know.
He got out the part of the video where where Ben nervously saw Luca and treated him like the guy in the Ella Cool Jake commercials Hi, I'm Keith and puts his hand out there for a shake. Hi, I'm Keith. Turn around, be calm, don't say anything. The best ad campaign going anyway, I don't know where else it is or if it's on Instagram probably is, but at Ben Rodgers on Twitter as or I saw it.
