In Uniondale, we are taking the time this week to show you all the great things that are there that make that community special. And it of course, includes the Nassau Coliseum and we're highlighting the Long Island Nets this morning and we are what, what you're on cleaning duty. Now, Kurt did Dale put you up to this. Yeah. Yeah. Basically, you know, after Dale and I spent all morning trying to take each other's jobs we found one we could do together in this case and let's get this building ready for Long Island Nets basketball starting in just a couple of months here in Uniondale. This obviously is the center of attention and it's going to be once again once the season gets going. Uh, Morgan Taylor has been with us all morning, kind of telling us about what the fan experience has kind of been like. And I wanted to ask you kind of, what's your, what's the best part in your opinion, for people to come out here? What's the best part of attending a game? The best part is really getting affordable NBA action up close. You can sit really close to the court for a low price and have your kids in the kid zone getting um you know, photos and having fun. Um while the game is going on and then after the game getting some autographs from players, we hear so much. I mean, Rich was saying about it before in the studio just how much the kids really enjoy and remember the experience, it really sticks with them, doesn't it? It's creating those memories with your family and your kids is nothing like it for sure. And going forward here moving forward into the season here. What kind of kid friendly activities are you going to be having here for the, for the team? Yeah, ahead of the season. We'll kick off our fan fest on October 25th. That yes, we can center and then we'll start our season November 8th and every game will activate our kid zone, which is behind the basket, every single game with fun games, photo booth and just a great time for all kids of all ages. It's going to be a lot of fun. Morgan. Thank you so much for being here with us this morning. You got it all right before we head out. I got to bring Dale real quick. I'm going to just move over one seat for you. Um, you ready for the season? I think that means yes. And, uh, you got any other last second, uh, things for the fans you want to tell them? Ok, Well, you heard it here first. It's us, here in Uniondale. We're having a great time this morning, guys. What was that? Like a slow dribble?
