what's the magic number. ♪ am i ready ♪ and an a-plus night at the emmys. hit show "abbott elementary," dreams coming true. ♪ and i know ♪ >> plus, "euphoria" again for zendaya. >> tonight is a party. >> women ruling the night. >> thank you so much. i love you. and before television's biggest party was over -- >> wait, hold on. okay. ♪ >> -- lizzo was ready for her time to shine. >> l-i-z-z-o! we say good morning, america. oh, what a night, congratulations to all the emmy winners. >> yeah, we had a good time watching that last night. also ahead, new official inflation numbers are out. we'll break down what it could mean for you as gas prices continue to fall with new inflation threats emerging.

but we begin with the latest on that stunning offensive by ukrainian forces, changing the face of the war, retaking large amounts of territory as russian troops retreat on a key front. tom soufi burridge is on the scene in ukraine. good morning, tom. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, michael. what a turnaround this is. ukrainian forces are now building on that initial lightning advance contesting areas in the east which the russians only captured weeks ago and claiming an advance in the south. the ukrainian offensive still appears to have momentum on multiple fronts. this morning, ukraine's breathtaking offensive securing new gains as its forces continue to advance in the east and now also in the south. these troops filming and posting a dramatic attack, claiming an ambush on a russian vehicle. one ukrainian official saying, russian forces surrendering en masse, abandoning entire stocks of ammunition claimed by

ukrainian troops. and this morning, uk intelligence saying the lightning advance by ukrainian forces out east devastating one of the russian army's most prestigious battle groups. here a ukrainian mayor slicing up the russian flag. ukraine claiming to have liberated more than 20 towns in just 24 hours. the devastation clear as soldiers tour a newly liberated and strategically important city in another video circulating online. here you can see in yellow the ground the ukrainian forces claimed to have retaken from the russians, more than 2300 square miles. this ukrainian mp briefed on the offensive telling us there's more to come. >> are we going to see more victories by ukraine in the coming days? >> definitely. >> is russia on the run? >> yes. that is called retreat under international terms. >> reporter: destruction from explosions caught in this new video shared by local ukrainian officials in the eastern donbas region where ukraine is now also claiming victories. even the kremlin acknowledging its retreat and striking back.

a russian missile hitting the heart of kharkiv, killing at least one person. russia also targeting power stations in the city. president zelenskyy calling russia's retaliation desperate. [ speaking non-english ] saying, "they can't do anything to our heroes on the battlefield so russia is directing its vile strikes against civilian infrastructure." with russia's invasion of ukraine again in disarray, there are unusual levels of dissent creeping into russian state-controlled media. there's also been a very rare public rebuke against vladimir putin. 18 local officials calling on him to resign. all eyes now on putin's position and how he might respond. george? >> okay, tom, thanks. let's bring in white house spokesperson john kirby for more. thanks for joining us this morning. is ukraine winning this war? >> they certainly have some momentum, particularly up there in the northeast part of the

country in that donbas region. you saw just from that report how swift and how stunning their advances have been. there is more fighting to go, though, and particularly down in the south where the ukrainians are also trying to break through near kherson city. they've made some incremental progress there. they're facing a stiffer russian resistance down south, but clearly up in that northeast region there's some momentum here by the ukrainians, no doubt about it. >> is there a risk they take this too far and run ahead of their supply lines? >> i think they've planned this counteroffensive pretty carefully, george, and they thought this through. we're watching these swift and stunning images today, but we need to remember there were weeks and weeks of planning that went behind that and the ukrainians have done a good job thus far in this war managing logistics and sustainment and supplies to troops and i think they're mindful of that going forward. >> how about new threats to vladimir putin inside russia? how serious are they? how do you expect putin to respond? >> it is very interesting to see, isn't it, now, that he's facing some public rebukes, not just from opposition figures but from actual elected officials

inside russia. that's not insignificant. now we'll see where this goes. we're already starting to see signs that they're going to probably start to crack down on some of these dissident elected officials. we'll watch this carefully, but it is noteworthy that now even elected municipal officials are coming out speaking against mr. putin. >> president biden and the u.s. have always believed there is going to have to be a diplomatic end to the war. is the table laid for a more favorable dip lomatic settlemen now? >> i don't know we're there yet and it will be up to president zelenskyy as commander in chief to determine if and when he's ready to sit down and negotiate. clearly we don't appear to be at that point right now. i mean, there's still a lot of fighting going on, not just in the north but elsewhere around the country, and mr. putin has shown no inclination to stop the prosecution of this war against the ukrainian people as we saw with his retaliatory strikes in kharkiv over the weekend. i don't think we're there yet. obviously president biden fully supports a diplomatic end of

this war and an end that we'd like to see today if possible, but i just don't know we're on the horizon right now. >> another war broke out on russia's periphery in azerbaijan attacking armenia. how critical is this for president putin and is there any role for america to play in this? >> the secretary of state put out a statement calling for an end to these hostilities. as you know, george, this conflict goes back decades to the fall of the soviet union. the russians apparently brokered a cease-fire overnight and then it was almost immediately broken, at least what the initial reports are saying. so we urge both sides to stop the hostility and violence and we don't need to see any more conflict in that part of the world. >> john kirby, thanks very much. robin? now to mourning queen elizabeth. just moments ago king charles and queen consort camilla landed in belfast for his first appearance in northern ireland as king. tonight, the queen's coffin will be flown to london after lying in rest in scotland. amy is there live with more on

the somber farewells. good morning, amy. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. it has been a stunning sight here in scotland seeing so many people, thousands of people, turning out here in scotland to pay their respects to the queen and it's been an incredibly emotional experience for many of them. this was their queen and so many had a special connection with the woman they watched and admired for decades and now she is set to make her final journey adg northeld.ng will visit eve days. atat this time of mourning that the king goes to the four corners of the united kingdom to meet the people, to also meet the politicians there, because, of course, great britain is great britain and northern ireland. >> reporter: overnight, thousands of well-wishers pouring into st. giles cathedral

in scotland to say good-bye as elizabeth ii lies in rest. the queen brought to this final scottish resting spot by her children, king charles iii, princess anne and princes andrew and edward in a solemn military procession from the palace of holyroodhouse along the royal mile lined with mourners. the royal standard of scotland draped over her coffin and the crown of scotland that she received in st. giles in 1953 placed on top. at the service of thanksgiving, the choir singing psalm 23, the same psalm performed at the queen's wedding to her beloved prince philip in 1947. the night closing with an emotional vigil. the queen's children standing guard over their mother mourning not just the loss of a monarch but a matriarch. the queen's daughter making history as the first woman to take part in the so-called prince's vigil. and princess anne is preparing now to make that final trip with her mother back to buckingham palace. she'll be flying back with her

coffin just as you remember she rode those six hours behind it from balmoral to here in edinburgh. certainly a dutiful daughter by her mother's side every step of the way on this final journey. robin? >> yes, so true. amy,ha y. >> our chief foreign correspondent ian pannell is live outside the palace with the mood there as they wait for the queen's final return. good morning, ian. >> reporter: yeah, good morning. that's right. i mean, the clouds have descended. the heavens have opened. the rain started to fall reflecting the mood of the nation, but that hasn't deterred people from coming down here to try and pay their respects. elsewhere in the country there have been a handful of very small protests which attracted headlines because of the police response. one man was arrested in edinburgh after yelling at prince andrew, you're a sick old man, and in london two spoken to for holding up a piece of paper. the police issuing a statement saying people have the right to protest. but these really are the

exceptions. the mood here is somber as the crowds only grow ahead of the queen's final return to the palace today. tomorrow is the start of four days lying in state at westminster, and then next monday, september 19th, is the queen's funeral. many world leaders expected to attend, including president biden. but i think most noteworthy there are figures as high as 750,000 people expected to try and line and see the queen when she lies in state to pay their final respects. lines expected to run throughout the center of the capital. people being told they will have to wait hours and hours to pay those final respects. but as you can see here, people are determined to do it. what you really notice here is that personal connection between the british people and many people from around the world and the queen. robin? >> that is quite noticeable. thank you, ian, so much. >> much more on the queen being laid to rest and the changes we may see under king charles, that's in our next hour. george? we're going to get the latest now on donald trump. the justice department has now issued dozens of subpoenas to people close to the former president seeking information about possible criminal efforts to overturn the election. chief justice correspondent pierre thomas is tracking the case from washington.

good morning, pierre. >> reporter: george, good morning. as you said, doj officials now moving quickly. their investigation of the january 6th insurrection and the 2020 campaign escalating with roughly 40 new subpoenas issued to some of trump's closest associates. they range from former white house officials to staffers from his 2020 presidential campaign to people still working with him today. among those subpoenaed, former nypd commissioner bernard kerik and trump's longtime senior adviser dan scavino and we've learned that a phone of at least one of trump's top advisers was seized. sources telling abc news that the focus of the subpoenas appears to be the alleged scheme to have alternate or fake electors come to washington to delay or block the certification of joe biden apridt. stators arnoasking fundhawe built on the lie that mnwon that documents agreed to one of trump's picks for a special master. what does that mean for the

case? >> reporter: george, there's been back and forth on names for a potential special master. doj and trump's attorneys each put forth two names. so out of the four there is one all sides look like they can live with, a former federal judge who has some experience in national security matters. george? >> pierre thomas, thanks very much. michael? now to the fires and floods in the west. nearly 100 wildfires are burning, heavy rain has brought relief from the heat wave but also flooding and mudslides. kayna whitworth has the latest. >> reporter: this morning, the west facing a double threat from both fire and water. right now, 93 large fires are burning in the western united states. the mosquito fire just 16% contained scorching more than 48,000 acres threatening more than 5,000 structures. a blanket of smoke stretching from northern california to the northern rockies and into the

plains states with millions of americans facing unhealthy air quality. in southern california, flash flooding caused multiple mudslides. >> we got a large cell come through which created multiple mudslides which we had major damage to the infrastructure of the area and structures as well. >> reporter: upwards of 50 people rescued in the lake hughes area after heavy rain drenched a burn-scarred hillside triggering a mudflow. you can see massive efforts under way here to get this road cleared. you've got two dozers working simultaneously. in some areas this mud was five feet deep. overnight, heavy rains falling in the northeast causing treacherous driving conditions leaving some drivers stranded on flooded roadways. and out west here, all that rain is met with our parched dry land creating scenes like this. the mud is some ten feet high. if you look back you can see how high it is on the street sign.

while we're digging out from a wet mess, we're still experiences extreme fire danger. robin? >> it does. we want everyone to remain safe out there. kayna, thank you. now to new numbers on inflation as the cost of essentials remains high. let's go to our chief white house correspondent cecilia vega with that. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: hey, robin, good morning to you. just 56 days until the midterms and the white house knows that inflation, the economy are top of mind for voters. these numbers just came in. let me show you. the consumer price index rose to 8.3%. that's up from a year ago and worse than analysts predicted. it means americans are still paying sky-high dp groceries, rent and education. there is a silver lining. gas prices continuing to fall. the white house is really hoping to be able to s behind us.

today at the white house president biden is hosting a big celebration, celebrating the inflation reduction act that was signed last month. guys, you know this, with m midterms so close, the white house hoping for big improvement when it come to the economy and soon. >> all right, cecilia, appreciate your reporting. a lot more coming up on "gma," including the public official arrested in the murder of a journalist set to face a judge right now. this morning, we're going to hear from one of his co-workers, what she witnessed while working for the suspect. plus, that looming rail nation's supply chain.ple the - but first we say good morning to ginger. >> good morning to you, robin. enzo, michael's dog didn't sleep. danielle, if you look at the video behind us, one of our producers was on the l.i.e. and this was her commute. this is really difficult. remember, two feet of water can move a vehicle. danielle, pull over. you don't need to come in. i'm going to give you a pass. but 2 1/2 inches in less than an hour, you're going to have flash

my first thought was robert telles, and then i thought, no, it couldn't be. >> reporter: until his arrest last week rita reid served three years in the office alongside clark county public administrator robert telles. she says as a boss telles caused emotional stress and created a hostile work environment. >> he came into my office several times in a rage. you saw stress every day in multiple employees, and it just became worse and worse. >> reporter: reid also alleges telles had an inappropriate relationship with an employee that rocked the office dynamic because of preferential treatment he allegedly gave her. telles has denied he created a toxic environment or the

relationship, saying he only turned to the colleague as a trusted friend for advice. >> one of our staff was told during one of the complaints that he had the right to have favorites in the office if he wanted. >> reporter: reid says she became so appalled by his behavior she ran against telles in the democratic primary and she and her co-workers approached longtime "las vegas review-journal" investigative reporter jeff german with their allegations. >> so we decided that we would go public. we would try to talk to a journalist here in our community and see if somebody felt it was worthy of reporting. >> reporter: german wrote a series of scathing articles on telles' alleged toxic behavior. >> primarily there were things in social media where he was voicing that anger against the articles. >> reporter: telles venting on twitter and in one blog post taking aim at german's reporting writing, it was so ugly that you almost had to believe it was true. i can understand why you might have with the writer's skill at pushing buttons. with each article, reid says telles' combative response caused anxiety among the staff. he ultimately conceded the primary to reid but would remain in office through january. >> i guess maybe i felt there might be an encounter one day or

an altercation, a verbal altercation, but i just -- i could never have imagined this. >> reporter: authorities believe telles cased german's home lying in wait, according to a criminal complaint, then disguised in a reflective vest and large hat fatally stabbed him as alleged retribution. >> the victim, 69-year-old jeff german was stabbed seven times. >> reporter: the politician taken into custody five days later after a standoff with police. >> did you do this? >> can you tell us anything?gat tthgrso sne >> dna recovered from the victim's hands, under his fingernails, they do identify the dna as the defendant's. >> reporter: reid believes german's commitment to their story cost him his life. >> his death was absolutely devastating to myself and my co-workers, the people that he advocated for, he was our hero.

i mean, we can never thank him enough. >> and we reached out to telles' attorney. so far they are not commenting. telles is due in court later this morning. as we mentioned he is currently being held without bail and has not yet entered a plea. clark county says when the allegations of a hostile work environment arose a couple of months ago, it no longer had employees report to telles and the county is now cooperating with investigators. the bottom line there is a journalist lost his life. >> yeah. >> horrible crime. thank you, erielle. now to that looming railway strike that could cripple the nation's supply chain. roughly 60,000 rail workers threatening to walk off the job by the end of the week. our transportation correspondent gio benitez is at penn station to explain what's happening. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, michael, good morning to you. yeah, this is a major issue that experts believe could be catastrophic for the nation. we're talking about a rail strike that would cost about $2 billion a day from the white house to capitol hill. washington is working around the clock to try to avert this strike.

now, experts warn if 60,000 railroad workers vote to strike friday store shelves could run empty and prices on many of our basic necessities would just soar. amtrak which uses freight rail lines already canceling three long-distance routes this morning and overnight congress signaling that it may intervene and halt any potential strike. but this morning, some of the major freight lines are already preparing to stop accepting goods as early as today. guys? >> all right, gio, thank you so much. hopefully something can be worked out. coming up, the big wins on tv's biggest night and more on the standing ovation for one inspiring actress. come on back. ♪ you're so golden ♪

way. this was the largest study and the latest to really show the benefit, just of walking, in terms of lowering our dementia risk. this research was done in denmark. they keep excellent data there. let me show you what they found when they followed people for their risk of dementia and other negative health consequences. they found that approximately 10,000 steps a day decreased their risk by over 50%, what was the minimum amount, 3800 steps a day. there was a 25% reduction in risk of dementia with that, that is not trivial, and every additional 2,000 steps lowered their risk by approximately 10%. over 10,000 steps, robin, they really didn't see a clear benefit in terms of dementia. kind of plateaued but, and here is the kicker, the pace mattered. the intensity mattered. the higher the pace, the higher the effort the lower the risk of e.h, mgol ttrnou lk autre? >> in terms of the observed data

what they found was about three miles per hour if you're 5'9". daniel is walking at 3 miles per hour. they also found that that would be equivalent to about 112 steps per minute. that lowered the risk of dementia by 62%. very few people can actually count their steps per minute. but, you know, you can see that this is -- i would call this a decent pace. >> okay. and for those who are unable to walk or they have difficulty finding time, things they can do to reduce the risk? >> absolutely, you can, in terms of your overall lifestyle. and we've said before, the things good for the heart, which a lot of people are used to hearing, really good for the brain and brain health. so you want to prevent high blood pressure, manage your high blood pressure if you've been diagnosed with hypertension. if you smoke, do everything in your power to quit. manage your blood sugar, that's in terms of type 2 diabetes as well as being prediabetic, and then dementia is tied to depression and social network.

[ applause ] hey, this is a movement. this is so much more -- >> uh-huh. >> -- than just a movie. you even talked about it being so, so important to you and just that zenith for you. >> that sort of magnum opus i call it. >> yes.

>> i think the same reaction you have as an audience is the reason why i did the movie. first of all, it is a movie that's led by women and it's a movie that's led by black women. it's a movie that's led by dark skinned black women. there is no white savior, you know, and it's women who are warriors tapping into not only their physical strength, but also when you see the movie, they're humanized. and so, when have you seen that ever? i remember someone online said, i'm tired of seeing dark skinned black women as just strong and fighting and masculine. and i was like, when have you ever seen that? [ laughter ] >> yeah, really. we do now. we do now. >> what a cast you've put together to tell this story. >> absolutely. thuso mbedu, lashana lynch,

adrienne warren, as well as jamie lawson, women who beyond brilliant, but also i mean women who are playing roles of agojie warriors. literally it could have been an action film, but when they walk in, you see people. you see humans and i think that's what shifts. >> you bring out the best in people because the critics are saying this cast, everyone in every single role the best. >> yes, absolutely. and, you know, here's the thing, as i woman, you're taught that being a girl and being feminine is not about tapping into your physical strength. it's about being demure, speaking in a high voice, being polite all the time. whereas the challenge of -- the

reason why i loved it so much is my body served me and it was -- i had to do five hours of weight lifting and martial arts every day. >> was that all new for you? [ laughter ] >> yes, george. >> i mean, you did -- you did martial arts. you did weight lifting. you did sprinting. you did weapons training, but you had to take a dna test. >> dna test which i didn't want to see. [ laughter ] i didn't want to see i'm lactose intolerant. i'm prone to injury. i can't eat sugar. i mean, and i have to keep telling gina, great, great director, i had to keep calling her and saying, gina, listen to me now, you know i'm 56. you know if i get on that treadmill at 9.4, i lose oxygen. [ laughter ] i could die of a heart attack, gina. these girls are 30 years old. gina, you got to do something else. got to do something else. you're going to have a dead warrior here. [ laughter ]

>> let's give everybody a look. >> your family, no wonder they gave you away. >> it is you who is arrogant. >> i am a general. i have earned it. you have earned nothing. i should put you out. i have watched soldiers die because they did not have discipline. the easy life did not prepare them. >> i did not have an easy life. please, i want to be with the others. i want to fight for my king. >> your tears mean nothing. >> ooh. you're all superhero warriors on the big screen, but this is an actual all-female army. tell us about this. this is a true thing. >> the agojie, the colonizer's name is the amazons, but they were women who were recruited

from the age of 8 and 14 in dahomey, west africa, that is now benin, and they were not considered beautiful women. so no one wanted to -- they weren't considered marriage material. they were unruly. no one could control them and so they were sort of sold into the kingdom as agojie. they had to fight for their kingdom. all military unit. they could not have children. they could not have -- they could not get married and they could not have sex. they had to train all day into the night, martial arts. they even had to literally walk over or crawl over acacia trees which are just thorns and show no pain whatsoever. but what's interesting is, as restrictive as that is, they took great pride in what they did because you know what, it made them matter. it gave them a purpose and if

they didn't -- if they walked away from it and said they did not want to fight, they would be beheaded a lot of them. >> oh, my. >> or killed. and this is true history. there's only actually one book out there about the agojie, which is "the amazons of the black sparta," which is part information, great reference book, and part greatly offensive calling these dark-skinned women beastial and ugly. when i say that this is my magnum opus, this is my gift to the 6-year-old viola that was always called black and ugly and that 6-year-old girl who was always running from the bullies. this is me sort of reaching back to her and saying, look, you matter and you surviving and you being tough, you keep being tough.

that sort of affirmation of purpose and it literally is going to be transformative, i think, for even white men, white women. >> yeah. >> every type, but i feel for that dark skinned woman who's been fed that cultural and personal narrative of being invisible. let me tell you something, you're going to be seen in this. >> boy, you've made it impossible not to see this movie. >> yes, she did. >> really. when you see this movie, i feel that you're going to try to determine what type of warrior are you because there are different types. you did this great thing online which i took the quiz. you take a quiz and you can -- depending upon what you put in will determine the type of warrior you are to one of the characters. just knowing us -- >> did you take it? >> just knowing us, who do you think we are? >> well, you know, i don't really know you, but i'm going to say you're nanisca. when you were playing football, i would say you probably were izogie.

[ laughter ] >> hey, once it's in there, it's never gone. i did calm down a little but it's still there. >> you may be amenza too. >> i'm going to go take the test. >> i took the test. >> what are you? >> i'm amenza. >> amenza is spiritual. >> yeah, didn't you feel it, my brother? >> tr. >> uh-huh, and not afraid to use it. >> you two are praying over people and i'm out there fighting.

to america. >> and a teacher before that. >> yeah. >> and now in your third rendition, incredible actress, "the good place," and now this sort of tailor made for you. >> it's really, really fun. it's incredibly surreal. even being here is still so surreal. i'm sorry i didn't make more of an effort.

p for the sheets, not the streets. not even great in the sheets to be honest. i just never thought that i would ever be able to exist in that world. i have a health condition that means you're not necessarily the most built for action and yet they talked me into it and -- that's so distracting. but our director just was hell bent on having me in the show and so she emailed, she talked to me in person. she hounded my manager and just talked me into it by lying and saying it was just a cameo, no action, i'd be in and out because she knew i was so afraid of letting anyone down. >> that's got to feel great. >> it was amazing. i get there and find out i'm playing my favorite character in the mcu. i had no idea. i have superpowers and i was there for six months and i got to learn jujitsu and parkour and kung fu. i had to fight on a wire, which is really painful for the lady part.

>> yes, as you were saying off camera. [ laughter ] i want to talk to you about megan thee stallion. >> yes. >> you got her on the show? >> i did. >> she was on because of you? >> yes. i mean it was not had. that wasn't difficult. >> well, the scene that we have here. i mean, that's fantastic. >> we made marvel twerking history but basically i've worked with her before and i know she's a massive marvel nerd and she's iconic in every way and a quadruple threat and so i asked her if she'd be interested. i knew we were looking for a huge celebrity cameo and i can't think of anyone just better in the world to have on our show than megan. it was an instant yes from her and an instant yes from marvel and twerking history was made. >> so what was it like deejaying for elton john? >> oh, goodness. deejaying for elton john was extremely stressful because i had never deejayed before. basically the week before i was sliding off the music to another woman. she turned out to be the organizer of the event and she

was like, well, you know, if you don't like the music, i'm doing elton john's party next week and i need a deejay. do you deejay? and because i'm a lunatic, i just went, yes, i do. >> that's the best. >> and found myself booked a week later. i presumed she would ask me to send her a demo, which i wouldn't be able to do and it wouldn't go anywhere. and she didn't because she's very bad at her job and i deejayed. i had a week to learn. >> how did you do? >> i did fine, okay. i didn't blow elton away. i never got booked again by him but i did start a ten-year deejay career so i did something right. i didn't set anything on fire. >> there's about a million things you've done right. >> my whole career has been like that. >> it really has. >> just saying uh-huh to everything. i never acted before "the good place" so saying yes to place." i never did stunts before

marvel. so saying yes to everything -- not everything. guys, not everything. >> well, we can't wait to see what you do next. >> yeah. >> thank you for coming in. new episodes of "she-hulk" debut thursdays on disney+. let's go to ginger. >> i want to take you to key west. flash flooding and some streets there filled with flooding and a quick look at what's happening in the tropics. drew: i meteorologist drew tuma. it is a bright and breezy day, temperatures mainly in the 60's and 70's. feeling like fall the next couple of days. now to a new movie about life after you've lived out your dreams. it's called "mvp" and it's based on a real-life story of retired athletes and veterans used to having a mission and a brotherhood struggling to find purpose in this new chapter of their lives and how a gym brings them together. take a look at this clip

featuring nfl hall of famer tony gonzalez. >> i remember the first year after i retired took the wife out to spain and from the outside perspective the transition was going well for me. i mean, i had a job, i was on tv. i was making good money. the whole week we were there, she could tell something was up. so we're sitting at a cafe and she asked me, what's wrong. it was the first time that i thought about it, but it dawned on me that i'll never be great again. i peaked. i started crying. 17 years in the pros, hall of fame career and i didn't feel like i belonged to anything. i feel like i didn't have a home. >> wow, man. >> well, football fans, you'll see a lot of familiar facevi nationwide. make sure you check it out. coming up, we have easy to
