I mentioned to Carl what I love 10 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: is the quintessential show experience of getting myself a sauce 11 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: smothered hot dog and then pulling up on a bench 12 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 1: or a bale on the edge of the main ring 13 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 1: and just kicking back, soaking up the atmosphere and watching 14 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: stuff I wouldn't otherwise see day to day. 15 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 2: Yeah.
