Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bob Woolfe, Phoenix Suns gorilla
Q: What was the best part of being the gorilla and also the worst part?
The best part was the fan interaction, the love for the games, overtime moments, and creating personal memories with the crowd; the worst part involved dealing with injuries and the physical toll, yet he continued performing through many setbacks.
Back on this day in 2001, two planes crashed into Twin Towers
Q: What was it like arriving at the site and seeing the scope of the damage?
The responder describes arriving with little air traffic, seeing smoke and debris, and gradually realizing the magnitude of the destruction once escorted into the hot zone, which made the scale feel almost unreal.
Soo Youn, ABC Business Reporter
Q: What is the settlement and why does it matter for Meta?
The settlement centers on age-verification requirements to identify teen users, which could force Meta to collect and analyze more user data, creating potential new data assets and revenue streams while raising privacy concerns.
Tyler Drake, co-host of the Cardinal's Corner podcast
Q: What kinds of challenges do the Chargers actually present? And what are the keys for the Cardinals to put a stop to them?
The Chargers' fast-paced, quick-release offense forces the Cardinals to win at the line of scrimmage and contend with their top receivers; Arizona needs to disrupt the rhythm by pressuring the quarterback, controlling line play, and matching the offense with disciplined execution, while leveraging players like Walter Nolan to anchor the defense and change the pace.
Governor Katie Hobbs and Former Mesa Mayor, John Giles
Q: Mayor Giles, the campaign said you won't debate Sina Kerr—was that your decision?
Giles supports the governor's decision not to debate in that particular format and emphasizes a belief that many debates are not the best way to inform voters, advocating instead for ongoing, direct questioning on radio.
