02:02 (GMT)6 MAY 2025

Pat says dreams are a good word, and the two have a lot in common. They both grew up with the same dream, of wanting to be in this business.

Pat says since Gunther attacked a 58-year-old man, he'll give his opinion on Gunther. Pat says when he thinks of Nebraska, he thinks of the Cornhuskers, Omaha's steak, and a baseball field across from this building. He says this city is a symbol of working hard and dreams coming true.
