The two found time between traveling to football games and their three weekly shows to take a tour of Carney on Sunday morning and attend the Jacksonville Jaguars - Tennessee Titans with the Sailors of USS Simpson (FFG 23).

This was their first visit to a U.S. Navy warship and they said they were impressed with the professionalism of the crew and the awesome capabilities of the ship.

"They seemed pretty interested in all we did on board. It was great to be able to give a tour to these guys. They really seemed to enjoy it" said Hostetler.
