Speaker 2: was gonna buy you guys bathing suits or something bathing.

51
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: All I was doing was planning the seed because you

52
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: know what, there was a promise made not to go

53
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: pull that audio, but I can.

54
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 3: But Don did say he would take care of the guys.

55
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 2: Okay, Zohn, you got to buy a bathing shooters.

56
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,640

57
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 4: all right, anytime? Okay, bait, But that's not enough bathing.

58
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 4: We've got his shoes and bathing.

59
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 2: The girls get screwed.

60
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: Wait no, no, they no, they.

61
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 4: Don't, because then you have to come back to I'll

62
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 4: come back in a couple of months and we'll do

63
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 4: another question.

64
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: Let me be very clear, you're paying for that. I'm

65
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: not Carpaccio for lunch that day, actually, Down took us

66
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: to munch Wendy's for lunch.

67
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 3: You're gonna love.

68
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: It's all alight. So however we figure this out, we'll

69
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: figure this out. It's no problem. But when Down walked

70
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 2: in this room, he said, okay, I think we should

71
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 2: give a listener like a shopping spree at American Dream.

72
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, I'm not paying for it. That one.

73
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: I'll pay for it something else. We were all paying

74
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: for this in someway or another. So let's let's let's

75
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: make that happen. Like so you're saying, whoever wins this

76
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: gets to go to American Dream and they have the

77
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: run of the facility, or they.

78
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 4: Can go wherever they want. I think it should be

79
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 4: a you know, a nice number. Let's say, like ten

80
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 4: thousand bucks or.

81
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 3: Something that's nice.

82
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 4: I'd like to figure out how it is that a

83
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 4: listener will win. We got guys thing about that, right,

84
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 4: But what if the listeners from Wisconsin? Okay, well then

85
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 4: we'll fly him in if we have to. Okay, but

86
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 4: you'll have to pay for that part.

87
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: Okay.

88
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: Let me tell you what if someone from out of

89
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 2: the New York City, New Jersey, New Jersey area has

90
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: to be flown in and met up at a hotel.

91
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,560

Speaker 3: And that point college.

95

111
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 2: not so busy yet, and of course it was busy,

112
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: but we had such a good time. But one of

126
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,160

128
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 3: That's a good question.

129
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 4: I think what's the biggest right now is you know,

130
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 4: we spent a long time trying to get people to

131
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 4: really understand what it was right and get that brand awareness.

132
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 4: But we've turned that corner brand awareness. And I always

133
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 4: said while we were building, like there's going to come

134
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 4: a point in time when people will appreciate what it

135
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 4: is that we built in you know, New York, New

136
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 4: Jersey Metro, and that's there. Today we have like thirty
