[0:06] Are we wondering maybe if you could give B.B. [0:10] a call? [0:11] He's going to come up—he was going to come up Thursday, you know, for his birthday—and see if his schedule could permit if he could come earlier. [0:22] I mean, he could come up today or tomorrow, you know, or something. [0:26] Because I'm keeping all my evenings free, see, because I'm seeing Agnew tomorrow and Connolly the next day and so forth. [0:34] So it will be good for me to have somebody just see I don't like to have dinner with the staff and earning like that, see. [0:42] And nobody else is here. [0:44] So you could come up today or tomorrow. [0:47] Yeah, at a time that is convenient. [0:49] And then I think Dooley ordered a birthday cake, isn't it? [0:51] Friday's his birthday. [0:53] Birthday's Friday, but he was going to come up Thursday so that he could be here. [0:56] Thursday night or something like that. [0:59] Okay, we'll see if he can make it today or tomorrow. [1:00] Today or tomorrow. [1:01] That is convenient. [1:02] It's whatever he likes. [1:03] Okay. [1:05] And Coach George Allen called this morning. [1:07] Oh, yeah. [1:08] He wanted to know if you wanted to come with your family or a friend for the game Monday night. [1:13] Well, you should call him back then. [1:15] I'd just love to, but I'm in the midst of this reorganization plan. [1:20] I told him I didn't think you could, but that I could. [1:21] I greatly appreciate it, but I've got to wait until after Thanksgiving before I can get to a game. [1:26] Okay. [1:27] Fine. [1:28] I thought I'd ask you so I wouldn't keep him, you know. [1:31] No, no. [1:32] I can't do it. [1:33] I don't want to go out right now publicly anyway. [1:36] Okay. [1:37] Okay. [1:38] All right. [1:39] And shall I let you know what BB says or just let Brandon know when he'll be there? [1:44] You can call me back. [1:45] Okay. [1:47] Yeah, thank you. [1:48] All right. [1:49] Bye.
