Kickers were so bad that 32 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: they were cut during halftime. I've never seen a guy 33 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: walk out in the middle of the game time. And 34 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: he said, this was a sort of like a whole 35 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: thing you don't want I don't want to put it. 36 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: I mean, then you shouldn't be on the field anyway. 37 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: I'm assuming this did not go over well in the 38 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: locker room.

Williams responded, that's not here, 44 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: point blank and simple. Snap, he said, snapper, I was 45 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: that defensive end. Lorenzo Alexander was equally blunt. He said, 46 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: I don't have nothing to say about Vante. Well, yeah, 47 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 1: one of these quotes are all that I'm waiting for. 48 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: It gets better. Well let's start with the better, okay, 49 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: so he says, So I will give him a little 50 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: bit more respect than he showed us today as far 51 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: as quitting on us in the middle of the game, 52 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: that's what I want to said.

First period ends and 64 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: he comes flying and all I'm not gonna get too descriptive, 65 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: but let me just tell you know all the pads 66 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: that goalies wear, and you know, I'm just gonna say, 67 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: this was not the easiest thing to do. And you 68 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: get by the way, and youth hockey, you get about 69 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: thirty seconds between periods, all right, and then whatever. Let's 70 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: just say Dad wasn't happy. But we got him on 71 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: the ice and he was like so discombobulated because it 72 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: was like he's like I felt it like a minute 73 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: into the game, and I didn't want to I knew 74 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: I couldn't stop, so I had the whole thing that 75 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: he like, he skates to the wrong net for the 76 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: start of the second period. I'm like, everybody's telling the 77 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: other side more. We had a situation, but it didn't quit, 78 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: and he didn't quit halfway through, by the way, I 79 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: got it. Please you gotta indulge me on this for 80 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: one second. My thirteen year old son, he's with band 81 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: for the Tumaca Raiders high school football team in Pennsylvania. 82 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: Now I bring this team up because I gotta give 83 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: a shout out. They are four no right now. Not 84 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: only are they four no, but the opposing teams have 85 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: not scored one point against the Tumaca Raiders in that game. 86 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: I'm talking scores forty two to nothing, thirty five to nothing, 87 00:04:55,279 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: forty two to nothing, and then this latest one seventy one. 88 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: Well played, man. So I had to give a shout 89 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: out John, and that that is. Now. Can we give 90 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: a new shout out to Ryan Fitzpatrick? Love it? Love it. 91 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: He's dressing like Conor McGregor. I thought I thought it 92 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: was Connor mcgreggor when I saw him, Like, why is look? 93 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: I mean, he used to be known when he was 94 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: with the Jets. It was like Harvard's Ryan Fitzpatrick. That 95 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: that was what made him. And now it's so Jamis 96 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 1: Winston gets suspended, he's not playing. Fitzpatrick steps in, he 97 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: chucking touchdown and then he steps up to the podium 98 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: like Hannah McGregor, and I'm wondering. He always had the 99 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: beard and that was a little thing, but the gold 100 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: chains are attitude is new and you just wonder if 101 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: he's not saying you know what, this will be fun 102 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: on Twitter. People will talk about me and us and 103 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: this is the way to get attention besides just throwing 104 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: touchdown passes. And yeah, because and all this is great 105 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: for the NFL. The NFL has fun right now. You know, 106 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: we have players for tiring at halftime and Ryan Fitzpatrick 107 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: and the Jaguars are out playing. The by the way, 108 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: can so much. I put on the game for like 109 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: a minute. I mean really saw like a minute of 110 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: football and the tight end that you mentioned called a 111 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: touchdown pass, that's I said. And I was like, but 112 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: I thought of you over the weekend because like there's 113 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: like touchdowns a Verry and Jenkins and I'm like, there's 114 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: bars said this and the ratings, by the way, now 115 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: let's get big picture business. Ratings up again this week 116 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: over last year. Still down from but in a world 117 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: of if you're steady, you're happy, you're you're up Sunday 118 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: night football, that's a very positive sign for the NFL. Tough, 119 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: tough weeks for the the NFL is dying crowd. Also 120 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: special especial shout out to Sam Bradford, who is quarterback 121 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: in Arizona right now, career earnings over a hundred and 122 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: thirty million dollars, career record thirty four And this guy 123 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: seems too. I saw someone joking on Twitter over the 124 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: weekend that he's a Sports business Hall of Famer Sam 125 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: Padford has figured this game out. Is a right way 126 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: to go that question. There's definitely a right way to 127 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: go about it. Number one draft pick before they changed 128 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: the rookie pay scale is on a twenty million dollar 129 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: contract I think now with the Cardinals, which might be 130 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: his fourth or fifth team, continues to get paid how 131 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: much at one point? Yeah, it was the highest paid quarterback. 132 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: Did it right? To Stafford? Gets it? I bet your 133 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: Stafford's win lost record is positive better? Yeah, I would 134 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: think it's better. And by the way, the poor Arizona 135 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: card and they didn't scool a point. Not only that 136 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:57,119 Speaker 1: they didn't did they played the Indians. I wasn't talking 137 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: about that too. Oh yeah, like you remember the name 138 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: of the team, but I didn't remember, which is why 139 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: I didn't say that a staff I have no clue 140 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: what it's like the rest of the talking about we 141 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: have to also let's talk about I was gonna I 142 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: was gonna ask if you saw the fight, because you're 143 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: a fight I did not see the fight. I didn't 144 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: want to pay for it. Why don't you see the fight? 145 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: Your fight? Guy? I am, but at the time, I 146 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: just didn't want to pay for the fight. Didn't want 147 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: to pay all right, it wasn't It's not because that 148 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 1: it's a bad product. I just didn't feel like paying 149 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: for the fight, and I just wanted to the things 150 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: to do with the money, Yeah, the things to do 151 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: with the money. I was trying to put Austin Seferie 152 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: and Jenkins in my fantasy lineup. All right, you saw 153 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: the fight. I did see the fight, and exciting, yeah, 154 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: I was. I think it was more exciting than than 155 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 1: people who follow boxing were expecting. That's too exciting fights. Yeah, 156 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: I didn't see the first one. The first one seems 157 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: like this seems this seemed like it was a better 158 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 1: more there's more action in this fight. The logical question 159 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: is there's going to be a third. Here we go, 160 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 1: We're gonna do it without question. I mean both these 161 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 1: fights and this one, which was not a draw won 162 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: by Canello, but was I think anyone who watched it 163 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: could say that this could have gone either way. It was. 164 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: It was incredibly balanced and even um perfect scenario in 165 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: my opinion for Oscar de la Hoya, who we had 166 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: on the show last week, for for g G and 167 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: his crew as well. Uh, not having a huge blowout, 168 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: having an incentive to do this again, having a compelling 169 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: product to drop back on in a sport right now 170 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: that is you know, kind of struggling to find those 171 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: a one top tier hundred dollar pay per view stars. Uh, 172 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: it seems like a great result for boxing. Now we 173 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: don't know at time of taping, we don't have the 174 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: pay per view numbers, but Oscar was predicting some pretty 175 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: bold numbers for these guys. I would imagine it did 176 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: fairly well. It was a little I think the price 177 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: is five dollars, so it was a little cheaper than 178 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: what you saw for for Mayweather Pacquio and Mayweather McGregor. Um, 179 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: it won't do numbers that that big. For sure. If 180 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: bar lives within like four dred miles of friends and 181 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: people like me, he could have a few friends over 182 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: and actually maybe split the car together. Yeah exactly, but 183 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: that's not happening. And then some other big news over 184 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: the weekend. Uh, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Packing you know, 185 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 1: in an Instagram video announced that they were going to 186 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: fight again, possibly December. Is there interest in Mayweather? Think 187 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: you'll be amazed at how many that might even sell 188 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: more than G G. Canello too. I gotta tea. It 189 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: is piqued my interest. I might want to pay for that. 190 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: You'll you'll pay money for the last time these guys fought. 191 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: Either of Manny has fought pretty recently. Floyd has somebody medium. 192 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: I think Manny's probably fought three time, two or three 193 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 1: times since he since he fought Mayweather, and Maywether fought once, 194 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: which was McGregor off Broadway. I thought Manny was gonna 195 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: be the one person to be able to take Mayweather, 196 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: and I was very disappointed during that fight. Yeah, he's 197 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: aged at a little faster than Mayweather has. Just get 198 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: being McGregor again. Now, that was a good fight. That's 199 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: a that's a fight that Mayweather could lose. That was 200 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: Maywether has spent his entire career banking money by avoiding 201 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 1: the people that could beat him. And in the last 202 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: fight ever, he's not going to choose a guy that 203 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 1: could beat him. Yeah, he goes into very safe, very 204 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: very safe. He fights conservatively. Also, people pay for this. Yes, 205 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: not only do people pay for it, they complain afterwards 206 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:29,959 Speaker 1: every time. And people pay for this. No, what's wrong 207 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: with it? Man? It's great. I don't know if I 208 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: know he's gonna win. Seems like not only you know 209 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 1: he's gonna win, you know how he's gonna win. He's 210 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: not gonna get going to touch the other guy. But 211 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: I've been's telling me I pretty much know the outcome 212 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: of these guys. I can tell you what's going to 213 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: happen in the next maywhere the packing outfight was gonna 214 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: land like fifteen actual real punches over the course of 215 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: twelve rounds. Maywhether we'll land double that no one will 216 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: get knocked down, and maywhether will win a comfortable decision 217 00:11:55,320 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: and that will be beco punch that everybody ship ship 218 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: your to Uh. We got to talk about F one 219 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: there for years and it's not just F one. They 220 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: had the sponsorship with tobacco. NASCAR was like booze and 221 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: and tobacco for years, but more were F one now 222 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: because that was manned tobacco products on the side of 223 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: race cars. Now it's turning to tech for sponsorship. This 224 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: seems like it's a perfect and it's a marriage made 225 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: in heaven. Here and let me tell you, bar if 226 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: do you watch sixty minutes? Yes, did you see the 227 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: one on the Media Lab last night? The segment on 228 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: the Media Lab in essence companies ge was one of them. 229 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,719 Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember all the companies that sponsor. That's 230 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 1: a sponsorship. You pay into this lab and in return 231 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: you get like writer first refusal on any patents that 232 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: these folks come up with. But if you're too commercial 233 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: about it, if you put too much bottom line, the 234 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: director of the lab was like, I've fired companies because 235 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: they thought they were to bottom line, Like, we're not 236 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,479 Speaker 1: the right mix. So you're really just giving them money 237 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: to let these geniuses play around create stuff. And I 238 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: think they have two patents now. This is what this 239 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: seems though. The tech world and F one, these are 240 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: the things that are going to be in the cars 241 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 1: of tomorrow, and they can use F one as testing 242 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: grounds and then these cars where the automakers can can 243 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: utilize the technology. It seems like a match made in 244 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: heaven and that it makes sense on both sides that 245 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: they should be aligned with one another. And let's also, 246 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: these are the companies that have money, right, companies aren't 247 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: none of the open they have money years ago. There's 248 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: a part of this, this story I'm looking at the 249 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: F one is also considering whether to now accept money 250 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: from alcohol, from fast food, from snack companies. I mean, 251 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: I think a part of this is just they're trying 252 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: to diversify. They're trying to find the companies with money. 253 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: F one teams don't have the sponsorship money that they 254 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: had fifteen years ago. And sure a part of that, 255 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: I think is the tobacco change. Um. But yeah, go 256 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: go to go to where the money is. And right 257 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: now the money's in Silicon Valley. The money is the 258 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 1: Williams is working with a Chronus Ferrari with Kaspersky Lab. Yeah, 259 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: it just this, this seems like it makes sense. And 260 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: by the way, shout out to F one. You're gonna 261 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: see this also in Indy cars. I'm willing to bet 262 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: in the future the F one cars have what's called 263 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: the halo, so it protects the driver. So have you 264 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: ever seen n F one car? Uh, the F one 265 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: It's there's a bar almost looks like a big roll 266 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: bar that wraps around from the front of where the 267 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: driver is in the cockpit to the back and it 268 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: really will protect the driver if the if the car 269 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: rolls over something like that. Yeah. Now in Indy car 270 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: racing they don't have that, and it you know, when 271 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: a piece of debris flies, it can really hit the 272 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: Take an experiment with some sort of windshield, some sort 273 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: of screen. Weren't they talking about, Well, well that was 274 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: part of the Halo part. The Halo part. So I'm 275 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: hoping that open wheel race. That's scary stuff. It is 276 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: so cross your fingers. I hope they like you going 277 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: down the highway in your bulick. What kind of car 278 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: you dry? I don't even a bar I have a 279 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: prious c Thank you. I didn't see that coming. Wow, 280 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: I didn't. Sorry, David and Michael Barr. Isn't that a 281 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: like a clean passive Yes? Yeah, yes? Do you get 282 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: I know in California if you buy electric car, that's 283 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: even if you have one person, you can use the 284 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: h O V lanes, which is a big advantage. Do 285 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: you get to use h OV with like one person? 286 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: Not in New York. Not in New York. No, you're 287 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: supposed to if it's a clean passive vehicle absolutely in 288 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: New York. Yeah, we just cut it. We just cut 289 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: his commute by an hour. Are you serious?

I 297 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: didn't know. It doesn't matter at for him when you commute, Well, 298 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: that's true, that's true.
