I'm sure you had to 90 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 2: face racism of the drivers of teams, and how difficult 91 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 2: was fighting through that? 92 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 5: Honestly, my my mom was my parents, both my parents, 93 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 5: but my mom was, you know, the driving force behind 94 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 5: of just never given. 95 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 7: The media any negative to talk about. Right. Well I 96 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 7: failed at that a couple of. 97 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 5: Times, but she was always just keeping me aware of 98 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 5: the said scenarios, right and and for me, though I 99 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 5: grew up in a well diverse community and did it 100 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 5: and see color still don't and it just didn't didn't 101 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 5: matter to me. So when I jumped into it, there 102 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 5: was I think two of us that that were of color. 103 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 5: And Benny Mingo he actually works at our race shop now, 104 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 5: so it's crazy how he works on a race cars. 105 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,799 Speaker 1: But it was just the two of us and didn't 106 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: bother me one bit. 107 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 5: You know, growing up, you know, the higher you you 108 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 5: got in the rankings, the better you got, you know, 109 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,239 Speaker 5: the faster the cars. 110 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: You know, I was the only one and still didn't 111 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: bother me. I all I cared about was winning. 112 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 5: And it sounds like a very just cliche, typical, straight 113 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 5: line answer, but I didn't give a damn right and 114 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 5: I still don't because at the end of day, we're 115 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 5: all human beings and that's that's how I view each other. 116 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 5: And we just happen to be a little bit darker 117 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 5: than others, and that's okay. But if you treat each 118 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 5: other with respect, then you demand that respect back and 119 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 5: and if they can't give that back, then they're not 120 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 5: the people for you.

Yeah, yeah, let me let me quickly explain. 179 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 9: So Robinhood Basic we have about twenty five million customers 180 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 9: and Robinhood is a it's an investing app, and what 181 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 9: we've been largely credited with is bringing twenty five million young, 182 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 9: very diverse, first time investors into the marketplace. So in 183 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,559 Speaker 9: the US we're sitting close to sixty percent of US 184 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 9: households now are invested in the market. That's that's the 185 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 9: envy of the world. It's like twenty percent in Asia 186 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 9: or Europe or other places. And what we did is 187 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 9: just remove the friction. So if you have five dollars, 188 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 9: if you have ten dollars, you can invest. 189 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 7: We removed all. 190 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 9: The friction, made it very easy for people to have 191 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 9: access to the greatest wealth creation vehicle in the world. 192 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,559 Speaker 9: So as important as it is for you to make money, 193 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 9: you have to put that money to work, and we've 194 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 9: made that really accessible for young people. 195 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 2: My kids have Robinhood and it's very accessible. They know 196 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 2: how to use it, they invest in it. They're not 197 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 2: investing a lot of money, but five dollars and dollar 198 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 2: it's a start for them at a young But it 199 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 2: used to. 200 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,119 Speaker 9: Like the whole system used to be kind of really 201 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 9: kind of inaccessible for young people because you had to 202 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 9: wait till you got you this amount of money to 203 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 9: be able to do it, and so really by the 204 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 9: time you got around to investing, it was a little 205 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,319 Speaker 9: bit too late. The second component that we're really really 206 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 9: strongly focused on is it's one thing to give them access, 207 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 9: but it's another thing to make sure that they do 208 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 9: it in a way that's going to be sustainable and 209 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 9: that they're going to have a good investing career. So 210 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 9: we do a lot in the way of education, both 211 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 9: within our site and the app, but also we go 212 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 9: out to universities. We have a bunch of university programs 213 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 9: where we help people understand the importance of doing this 214 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 9: in a suitable manner, and then we give them access 215 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 9: to all of this and provide them with curriculum. And 216 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 9: then we have a newsletter that goes out every morning 217 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 9: to we have forty million people subscribed, basically describes the 218 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 9: day's news and then if there's something within that news 219 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 9: that could be an investable opportunity for them. 220 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 3: What's your vetting process? 221 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 4: But when it comes to like who you choose to 222 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 4: take on as. 223 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: The sponsor, I was just willing to pay, let's go 224 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: what happened? I mean, hey, I come. 225 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 5: From I remember, man, we were doing about anything just 226 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 5: to get anybody to spend a buck, right. 227 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 7: And so it's a tough sport to be a. 228 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 5: Part of it and want to invest in two and 229 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 5: for new companies to come into the sport and not. 230 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: Know which ways up, down, left or right. 231 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 5: I mean I would be hesitant as well, and so 232 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 5: and taking a risk on a kid that's trying to 233 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 5: find his way through the Cup Series. But I feel 234 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 5: like now we've established ourselves, established our name, you know, 235 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 5: within the race team, within the sport, it makes it 236 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 5: easier for companies that want to be in part of 237 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 5: our journey. 238 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 7: And yeah, you got you're associated with MJ. 239 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 6: So yeah, no, how was that? MJ is a coal owner, 240 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:16,599 Speaker 6: So how is he as a co owner? Do you 241 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 6: speak much? Do you talk much? Do you I play 242 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 6: one on one basketball? 243 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: How is it not the basketball piece? 244 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 5: He taught me if if I know I'm gonna go 245 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 5: into something and lose and not don't compete at all. 246 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: So he won't jump into a race car, I won't 247 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: jump on the basketball court. 248 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 7: And so m J is super involved. 249 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 5: Uh And and it might be a shock to a 250 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 5: lot of people, and I think it was for me 251 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 5: to start, because you think of somebody as as as 252 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 5: big as MJ that he can be doing anything else 253 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 5: that he wants with his time and his money. He 254 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 5: has a strong passion for NASCAR. He's been a fan. 255 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: He's watched even before he became a team owner. 256 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 5: He was a kid going to the races Darlington, uh Talladega, Charlotte. 257 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 5: He was going all these places with his family grown up, 258 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 5: and so he's always had a strong knack for for 259 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 5: NASCAR and what it provides. And so now him being invested, 260 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 5: it's game over. He's he's watching each and every weekend, 261 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 5: whether he's here or overseas, whatever he's doing. I have 262 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 5: a text before and after the race every weekend. 263 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 3: What did he say? I lost some money betting. 264 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 5: No, it's always encouraging. He's always he's a glass half 265 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 5: full guy. No matter how rough the day gets. He's 266 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 5: always searching for the positives. And so it's helped me 267 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 5: grow up a lot in a short amount of time. 268 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 4: What about you, Steve? What made y'all want to say? 269 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 4: You know what NASCAR is where we want to spend 270 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 4: that money? 271 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 9: Well, if we look at our customers, they're very into sports, 272 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 9: but they're if we just look at a robin Hood 273 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 9: versus a non Robinhood customer, they're four times more likely 274 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 9: they're into motorsports, particularly NASCAR, and so this gives us 275 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 9: broad exposure you know, nationally as well, which I think 276 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 9: is very positive. And they just you know, they're as 277 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 9: passionate about their sports as they are about their investing. 278 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 9: So they tie together pretty nicely. 279 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 4: Got you with the har of you to get sponsitships buble, 280 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 4: because you know, you always hear the stories about Serena Wiams. 281 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 4: Even though she was dominant you know inten is full 282 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 4: period of time her Aan Venus, it was hard for 283 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 4: them to get sponsorships. 284 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 3: People just didn't feel like they were marketable. Was it 285 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 3: the same for you? 286 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: Absolutely? 287 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 5: You know, we look at the sport and the personalities 288 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 5: that you have within the side of our sport, and 289 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 5: there's there's a select few, and I feel like I'm 290 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 5: near the top of the list of just being uh 291 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 5: personable and likable despite all the BS that goes on. 292 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 5: You know, I'm gonna tell you how I feel, and 293 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 5: I feel like a lot of us inside of our 294 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 5: sport are very straight edged and cookie cutter, right, And 295 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 5: that's that's okay. You don't want to show your true 296 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 5: colors and show your cards. You keep that in your 297 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 5: personal life, that's fine. But for me, I've always just 298 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 5: been trying. I tried to be super relatable to everybody 299 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 5: I meet, uh and and make a lasting impression, uh 300 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 5: to to eventually have the investments come in and the 301 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 5: funding come in. And it seemed like nothing we ever 302 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 5: did would would work. And for whatever reason that is, uh, 303 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 5: it was what it was. But it never stopped me 304 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 5: from pursuing what I wanted to do and fighting hard. 305 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 7: You know. 306 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 5: Now I look at the people that potentially said no, 307 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 5: we're good and just laugh because we're't a good spot. 308 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 2: Now, what does the sport have to do to increase, right, 309 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 2: because it's I feel like it's been in that same 310 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 2: spot for a long time and it hasn't really grown 311 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 2: as I thought it would. 312 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 6: What do you think it needs to do? 313 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:15,559 Speaker 1: I need to win. 314 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 7: M there you go. 315 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: I think that's the easiest way to go about it. 316 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 7: I need to win. 317 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 5: You look at I mean, golf didn't really change too 318 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 5: too much, you know, but Tiger was dominant right uh, 319 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 5: and created a lot of buzz. But I've only had 320 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 5: two wins in my eight years and being in cups, 321 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 5: so to me, that's unacceptable. So the way that we've 322 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 5: been performing this year, uh, last year races finished in third, 323 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 5: two spots away from from doing just that. 324 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: So I'll take full responsibility and helping that. 325 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 6: Fault is it? 326 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 3: Is it the car? 327 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 6: Because is it call driving? 328 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: As a driver, you never blame yourself, so it's always 329 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 1: somebody else's faults. 330 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 7: So that's just how drivers operate. 331 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 5: But it takes a it takes a whole team to 332 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 5: win races, and man, it's tough. You're the next level 333 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 5: after cup level is retirement. So it's the hardest thing 334 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 5: that you'll ever do in forms of motorsports, in the 335 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 5: form of the path that we're on. And so the 336 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 5: guys you're going against I have been doing it. Denny 337 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 5: he won the second co owner or other boss he 338 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,839 Speaker 5: won Sunday, but he's been in the sport for twenty 339 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 5: years and so I'm my eighth year. 340 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 7: So it's just experience takes over. 341 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 5: But it takes a car, it takes a crew chief, 342 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 5: it takes the driver, it takes pit crew and just 343 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 5: a lot of luck to get these things, you know, 344 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 5: in the right way. 345 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 3: This could be a stupid question. I don't know. 346 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 4: How do you know that certain people on the on 347 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 4: the team might not be sabotaging you though, just because 348 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 4: for you know, it might be mad as you Yeah, 349 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 4: the Confederate flag. 350 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, we we have a good process and knowing like 351 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 5: basically feeding out the bullshit, right and you know, you 352 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 5: have to show up ready to work. And as simple 353 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 5: as I think, you look at who the owners are, 354 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 5: MJ and Denny. They care about winning, and they care 355 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 5: about doing it with integrity, and if you don't have that, 356 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 5: then it's it's it's it's game over for them. So 357 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 5: we don't have to worry about that. And I never 358 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 5: really have. 359 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 6: Who's the toughest driver? 360 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 2: You have a faced and why? And in Nascar is 361 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 2: it like that? Like you know, as a basketball you 362 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 2: can say this is the toughest opponent. In hockey, this 363 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 2: is the toughest baseball, this is the toughest. 364 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: It's different. It's it's different in regards of the tracks 365 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: that we go to. 366 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 5: You know, for example, Denny had won this weekend and 367 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 5: this is in Martinsville, which is one of his best tracks, 368 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 5: and so when you show up to said track, it's 369 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 5: like who's the guy to beat? That's how you look 370 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 5: at it. So it's always different throughout the throughout the circle, 371 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 5: throughout the year, So I can't pinpoint it to one. 372 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: Who's the biggest asshole? That also changes to depends on. 373 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 7: The mood that we're in. 374 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: What's your what's your favorite track?

If you need to make 444 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 8: more speed on a corner exit, you must sacrifice something 445 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 8: else somewhere. You can't just put the throttle down and 446 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 8: get more speed on exit. It's an approach thing. Maybe 447 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,360 Speaker 8: you need to slow up your sensor a little bit more. 448 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 3: Do you agree with him? 449 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 7: Yeah?

And 456 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 5: you know, it goes back to the experience Den He's 457 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 5: been at these racetracks for twenty years as to where 458 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 5: I'm figuring it out still, so he kind of has 459 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 5: a better feeling, uh for what to expect on entry 460 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 5: in the center to set him up for a better 461 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 5: exit as to where I'm just like, I'm gonna send 462 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 5: it off in there and figure it out. So it's uh, 463 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 5: it definitely takes a lot of time and a lot 464 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 5: of seat time.
