I didn't know why that failed so hard? 34 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 4: And I think it's just because. 35 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 3: Say, I really think it was now that I'm remembering correctly, 36 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 3: because they used to do segu tours, like in the city. 37 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 5: You would see people just like nind Up rowing around on. 38 00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 3: This. Yeah, the city staff in Hawaii they did it too. 39 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 3: They had a segue tour. But then they're going off clips. 40 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: So yeah, going over a thread that is going viral 41 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: of people sharing the most hyped up things ever that 42 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: fell on their faces. 43 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 2: VR. 44 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: They kept trying to make it happen, but it's never 45 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: gone mainstream. 46 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 5: But isn't it done? 47 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: Not really yea yet? 48 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 3: At least are there those gaming places that they have 49 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 3: the VR they do and those are fun. 50 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: I've been to a couple of those are cool, but 51 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,279 Speaker 1: I still think it's really not mainstream. 52 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 4: It's just so inaccessible. But then the people who do 53 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,119 Speaker 4: have it aren't really great ambassadors because you're I don't 54 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 4: want to be anything like that person.
