00:00Utah Modest 120, the total is five and a half and props to the owner of the Utah Hockey
00:08Club who also owns the, what's his name, Ryan Smith.
00:14He also owns the Utah Jazz Basketball Team.
00:18But I saw today, earlier in the day, he posted online on X, he said, I got 700 tickets to
00:25give away.
00:27First come, first serve, sign up.
00:29And that's pretty cool, right?
00:33The guy gets it.
00:34He's one of the younger owners in professional sports.
00:37And listen, a lot of teams would just basically eat the tickets and say, whatever, dude, we'll
00:40have 700 empty seats.
00:42I don't care.
00:43You know what I mean?
00:44I'm not losing sleep over it.
00:45But he gives away these tickets, and they're trying to sell a sport in Utah.
00:50A lot of people in Utah have never been to a hockey game before, right?
00:54So I like the style, but I also couldn't help but think, because I think it went up to like
00:592,000 tickets he ended up giving away, actually.
01:01Started off with 700.
01:02Then I'm thinking, you know what, you're having a hard time selling tickets.
01:06Because you're not just giving away tickets out of the kindness of your heart here.
01:11You have a lot of tickets that are left on hand.
01:15It's better to give them away and try to get a customer to come back and buy tickets down
01:18the road.
01:20But they're playing well on the ice, whatever.
01:22It's a crappy arena.
01:24It's whatever, it's a basketball arena.
01:26It's not built for hockey.
01:27It's got bad sight lines and stuff like that.
01:29It's not a hockey market.
01:30They just sort of dropped the hockey team in here.
01:33It's doing okay, but they're doing better.
01:35They're doing good on the ice.
01:37Speaking of expansion, they're talking about Atlanta.
01:40I swear to God, man, they'll go to Syria before they put another team in Canada.
01:45They will literally put a team in Baghdad.
01:48Let's go to, you know, they'll be like, yeah, you know what, Iraq is really being put together
01:51again.
01:52The redevelopment of the Gaza Strip.
