Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln radio studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and get ready live from Studio C. Si, senor. It is a dimly lit room deeper than the bowels of the Armstrong Onion communications compound. On Friday and today we're under the tutelage of our general manager, X ray glasses. X ray glasses, a reference to the unbelievable NBA related, related card cheating point shaving giant double scandal. Holy cow, did I have it wrong. Yesterday we were talking about how you cheated poker. Man, I was going with like old timey riverboat gambler cheating methods that I've seen in person. No, this was unfreaking believable. Well, I'll tell you what I learned and I'm not a gambler at all. I haven't played poker in 40 years, maybe longer at all. I don't know how a person with any money would ever get involved with very high stakes at all gambling. Based on everything I've learned in the last 24 hours either from you talking about, you know, being in games where clearly people are trying to swindle you, people you knew and how easy it is to do. Combine that with this high level cheating with X ray glasses and the card shuffling machines that are rigged and all this sort of stuff. I don't know, I don't know why anybody wealthy would ever play in a poker game. Key aspect of the scam is you convince people that the game is straight. I'm sure that it's legit. That's what I'm saying. I don't know how you, I don't know how you would be convinced ever that you're not getting swindled. Somehow you gotta be at least on the verge of being a gambling addict to, to take that gamble, to take the word of somebody. You kind of know that. Oh no, it's a legit game. You know, everybody wins, everybody loses, but man, we go at it hard. Hot. This is high dollar, no limits. So bring your checkbook, buddy. I mean, well, so what's their own. So, so contact lenses and X ray glasses, how did those work? Well, they, they had special, they had all sorts of. They had this high tech card shuffling cheat machine that was unbelievable. They had special glasses and contact lenses that could read the backs of cards which were marked. And they had X ray tables that could read the cards through the surface of the table and they. There was one other wacky X ray thing I can't even remember. But yeah, it was like insanely high tech. Not like rigging the game, but just seeing the other player cards all the time. I wonder why they went to all of that work, which, obviously, the more of that stuff you got going on, the easier it is to get caught. Because the way you were explaining it yesterday, it's pretty easy if you got a. A handful of players, even a couple of players in on the scam to fleece the person you brought in. Right. You. You way stack the deck, no pun intended, in terms of the odds of various outcomes. I mean, it's. You might. One out of five times your scam is going to lose, but four times out of five, you win. And that loss actually helps perpetuate the feeling that it's legit. So I want to know everything about this. What were their procedures for not winning all the time? Because you can't just clean the fish out the first hand every time. Words gonna get around. Yeah. At the very least, he would be suspicious and not come back and think, okay, so I just happened to get the worst cards every single time. Yeah, all right, I ain't playing with you anymore. Yeah. So they probably let guys win hands and. And get a little bold and get a little fat on their back, as they say. I just. I want to know everything about this. I don't know. From the NBA side, the way they got caught seems to me like, childishly inept. So you got a meaningless game between two, not even probably playoff teams, some barely known player. All of a sudden all this money flows into betting houses across the country, which is kept. Kept track of, by the way, all of a sudden. That's funny. I wonder why so many people bet this player most of us have never heard of is going to get hurt tonight. That seems weird. And then that, you know, tipped off authorities to start looking into that sort of thing. Come on. That's not going to happen. That's what. Well, that's why if you're a good mobster, you got to spread it around. So you. You bet on this free throw some. You bet the under. On what's his name who faked the injury. Yeah, and you got to spread it around. Otherwise you get, you know, you set off the algorithms. Well, the thing that started it originally was that story we heard yesterday about him pulling up hurt nine minutes into a game. A whole bunch of money had flooded into that meaningless game around one player most people don't think about all of A sudden so many people. I mean that tipped people off immediately. There was an investigation going on right away. Yeah. By the NBA. So part of it is what you were talking about a while back is with AI can monitor so much of this betting action and figure out variables that don't match normal variables in betting. Right. And pick up patterns and stuff like that. So I guess the good thing there is it's going to be a lot harder to fix sporting events that way. Yes. Michael Hanson and I are just noticing that Joe knows an awful lot about this poker world. We're just kind of wondering exactly. I was in with one of the families for a while. Who you've been an interesting experience. I was in an experimental phase of my life, became a mobster, didn't like it, got out. I worked with a guy. There was my ballet period. I'll tell you about that someday. I worked with a guy at a radio station one time. He big, tough guy, sales guy, built like a. Just like, he looked like one of those guys, you could just whale on him and he wouldn't even feel it. Just that kind of person. Yeah. And he got invited by some family to Vegas one time and he went to Vegas and he came back and he told me, he said, I got invited to my, my relatives, my distance relatives are one of the big crime families. And I got invited to, to join and they wanted to know if I wanted to start. Like he said, I got to decide because once you get in, you can't get out. I've known other family members that got in. He either got to decide to stay out or once you get in, you're in. And I don't, I don't know what he did. He quit working at the radio station. Maybe he went and joined. He was going to be a muscle of some sort, I suppose a poly walnut sort of go beat people up guy and you work your way up. Yeah. Become a cat ball. Forget about it. But we mentioned this yesterday. Our whole lives, starting as when I was a kid, it was always, of course, this is the old days. Organized crime doesn't really exist anymore. They've been saying that every decade, my entire life. And then stories like this rise up and then once again you got the five, five same five families running some sort giant operation. And what's really, really interesting about this is there have long been whispers in the NBA about very high stakes poker, super common, including some of the greatest players in the game currently and in the past. And so the whole. Wait a minute. Point shaving, NBA and Poker thing is like, it's, it's a, you know, it's like a peanut butter and ham sandwich. At first it doesn't make sense, but there are now folks talk out loud about. Yeah, this makes perfect sense because the whole high stakes gambling, NBA player poker thing, that's, that's. It's been part of the culture for a long time. Well, Jordan was a big gambler. Charles Barkley was a big gambler, like really big gamblers. Right, right. And. And they're also. And I'm sorry I left out the important part and some of the whispers about point shaving and throwing meaningless games and that sort of thing that, that's been going on in the NBA for a long time. Those whispers are starting to get louder. This, this is earth shaking for the NBA. Unless the, the tips I've gotten are way off. This, this is the beginning of the earthquake. Let's experience an earthquake, please. Let's start the show off officially. Oh, we killed some more people in a boat. That's it. I'm canceling my water skiing trip to Venezuela. That's it. Just doesn't seem like the right time. Six more dudes in a boat. Overnight strike in the Caribbean according to the secretary of war. Gotta start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe Getty on this. It is a Friday, Oct. 24, the year 2025, where Armstrong and Getty and we approve of this program. Okay, let's begin then. Officially, according to FCC rules, regulations. Here we go at mark. Turn it over again. Having a tough rosier off the DHO and he turned it over. Rosier with a 911 thumbed up short. Rosier contested three is short with a three. Anderson with a rebound. Rosier relocates for another try. Well, that was awfully short. And that was one of the games that came to the attention of the authorities in which Mr. Rozier was like obviously throwing the ball, passing the ball so it would be intercepted. I mean like passes NBA players never make. Why would you do it to that extent that they just latch onto a guy who was not a good actor? I mean, don't be that obvious. All you got to do is. Well, it depends if, if the, the big time gamblers who had him by the tender bits had bet his team to lose and one of his teammates was just going off making everything. You gotta take more extreme measures, I guess. I mean even Steph Curry has, you know, games where he goes, oh, for three pointers and first half or something. Right. But this guy was throwing balls directly to his opponents and leaving shots feet short of the rim. Not even scaring the rim. Oh boy, this will be fun. And of course this will make every fan for the quite a while think when their team loses a close game with a weird play. Oh, okay, I see what's happening here. At the very least, it'll be a fun running joke. And I was reading Rich Lowry of the National Review wrote a piece for New York Post last night about how this was inevitable as we allowed gambling, legalized gambling with that big Supreme Court decision a few years back and it just became such a giant industry in every parts of sport at every level and so easy to do. This was inevitable. I suppose he is right. I don't know where you how you outlaw it though if you believe in freedom. I don't know. I know the commissioners of all the leagues are probably meeting together in their secret star chamber right now with sweat pouring down their faces and panic in the air trying to figure out that the answer to that question doesn't help that the commissioner of the NBA looks like a movie villain. If I saw, if I saw him lurking behind me, I'd scream and wet myself. If he had an underground lair, it would not surprise me. No. And pets. A cat. No, he's clearly that guy, right? We've got Katie's headlines. We got clips of the week. I gotta remember it. We got lots of news to get to stay with us. Armstrong and Getty. Life's messy. We're talking spills, stains, pets and kids.

I'm going to ask people as a thought experiment to be honest with themselves later around a particular topic that I think will be somewhat revealing. So please stay tuned for that. All right. I'm intrigued and fascinated. I can't wait. Now one of the big stories of the day, your opinion on it. If it were a different administration, I have a feeling some of you would have a different opinion. All right, Interesting. All right, let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie Green Katie, take it away. So my joke, Katie, actually I want to mention because it's got a conversation behind it. Okay. I told my wife she drew her eyebrows too high. She seemed surprised. But I was talking to a woman the other day who had her eyebrows drawn on. And I mean, like, I know that you like, you color your eyebrows or whatever or there's a little adding to it. But I mean this was just like no eyebrows exist of actual hair. And then just like a magic marker V on top of their eyes. That's a thing. Some, some women are actually shaving them off so they can redraw them back. That seemed to be the case here. Very attractive woman, but she just had them like a, like it drawn on V. Yeah, that's a, the eyebrow is having a moment, Jack. Interesting. Can I do that with my smile? Just like. Sure, why not? Go like Joker style. She looks surprised. You see. Okay. All right, NBC, the story everyone's talking about. Nightmare for the league. Gambling scandal, royals, the NBA. I'd say it is. Yeah. So it sounds like most of the money is the poker games. Tens of millions of dollars across many, many states. The five big mafia crime families. But then there's also the oh players got caught up in gambling debt and had to cheat to pay off their debt story. Yeah, this seems like a variation on the they got capone for tax evasion thing. What's going to bring the league down is going to be a lot of smaller dollar amount than the whole poker scam. Maybe, but we'll have to see. Let the chips fall where they may. From the Wall Street Journal, US inflation picked up to 3% in September. I didn't know that. I didn't hear that. Oh my God. From abc, Trump heads to Asia to talk trade trade deal with China's Xi. He's meeting with President Xi Next Thursday. From CNN. U.S. sanctions on Russia over Ukraine add pressure on Putin to end the war. Finally. Yeah. And India and China have agreed they not going to buy oil from Russia anymore with these new sanctions. So if that's true, that's a big deal. And did you hear we're in a new trade war with Canada. As the world's most easily butthurt man, Donald J. Trump got offended by a Canadian ad. We'll tell you about it and play in the audio the obnoxious horrific ad perpetrated by America's at Canada. From the Associated Press, Southwest Airlines new policy will affect its plus size travelers. So now, right now, if you don't fit in a seat, you can go up and they'll give you a free one. Now if you know you don't fit in a seat, you have to buy your extra seat. Well, I think that the latter policy is clearly the only way you can run the airline. I would agree. Yeah, you sell space. Literally, if you're taking up more than a certain amount of space, you got to pay more. Are they especially discrimination? Are they officially assigned seating now at Southwest? Has that started already or is it still first come first of the year? Maybe. I think it starts at the beginning of the year. That's too bad. From Page Six Video shows Britney Spears driving erratically after night out as she spirals over Kevin Federline's bombshell memoir yeah, I saw this video yesterday. She was hammered and drive. She's lucky she didn't kill herself or someone else. That's something. Federline puts out a book talking about how she's a mess and they should have never let her have her money back. She can't run her life and then she goes on a binge and seems like when that book came out. Which proves his point. From study Find taking a walk every day may keep lower back pain away. Can't hurt. And finally from the Babylon B WNBA players assure the FBI that they weren't missing layups to throw games. They just suck at basketball. I saw a lot of that too, including just the idea that they caught WNBA players cheating and just said it's all right. Go. Go ahead. It doesn't matter. Wow. All right, clips of the week.

Some people say it's tariff related, I don't know, but a number of companies have made this kind of announcements. It's always happening though I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. I have to look into the. These times seem very roiled, don't they? Yeah, well, yeah. Heck yeah. That too much uncertainty Is the China tariff 100% tariff kicking in next week on November 1st? Who knows? Xi Jinping's new strategy is counterpunch even harder Trump. The only thing Trump respects his strength. So they're gonna up the ante in the trade war and who knows? I will look into that inflation number, see what the Wall Street Journal says about it. I don't like the fact that it went up a little. Yeah, yeah. So a lot to talk about today. But first it's the Friday tradition. Let's take fond look back at the week that was it's cow clips of cap is cal cuts to the leak. If Trump was elected, how exactly is he a king? Oh, actively switching the levers of power in order to subvert elections. And what does that mean? Things such as trying to take away our freedom of protesting. Why do we want it? Because it was for forwarded to us in an email. So it must be true. As a fragile ceasefire faced its most serious test Sunday. They're gonna be very good. They're gonna behave, they're gonna be nice. And if they're not, we're gonna go and we're gonna eradicate them if we have to. Construction on President Trump's vast new ballroom gets underway. Surprise. Donald Trump is literally destroying the people's house and take a wrecking ball to an existing structure. In order to do it properly, we had to take down the existing structure. This is going to be probably the finest ballroom ever built. If people want to stop seeing drug boats blow up, stop sending drugs to the United States, you won't feel badly about it as you realize that every time you see that happen, you're saving 25,000American lives. The White House revealing the second summit with Vladimir Putin won't happen anytime soon. I will be the mayor who doesn't just protect Jewish New Yorkers, but also celebrates and cherishes them. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States, America, to the republic for which it stands. Bull. Wipe that smile off your face, Andrew. You didn't leave. You fled from being impeached. Chauncey Billups, Damon Jones and Terry Rozier were taken into custody. The scheme targeted victims known as quote fish. These operatives included capos and multiple soldiers from the Bonanno, Gambino, Lucchese and Genovese crime families. This is the insider trading saga for the NBA. That's what this is. That's why we are going to take heat. Tesla recently unveiled a cheaper version of its Model 3 sedan that costs approximately $37,000 as opposed to the cybertruck which will cost you your friends and never works. Man left field arose arena what does it go? Oh, that's right the world serious starts tonight. Yes at in Toronto in a foreign land go as as the war drums are beating right now. The Canada declaring its hostilities by running an ad and the President got butthurt. Gotta admit I'm gonna be rooting for the Blue Jays. I it's hard not for an underdog, I mean because I don't have a serious rooting interest here. So I'll be looking for an upset for excitement but we'll see. I just looked into the inflation numbers. The stock market is up because 3% inflation is less than they expected. They expected to go up more. So it's actually good news as it beat expectations. So there you go. There's that story right here's my. Here's my quick thought experiment since it came up during clips of the week. Now be can you be completely honest with yourself? If this exact same tearing down of the East Wing was going on and Biden was president, would you feel exactly the same way as you do with Trump doing it? Can you be honest with yourself about that? I have a feeling a lot of people, a lot of Fox News, whatever, that's okay with Trump doing it. It would be outraged if Biden were doing it. They would find a pretext to make it a scandal. Yes, a lot of people would. I'll tell you this speaking of honesty, it occurred to me finally in doing some reading about it that Trump's saying, look, it's not going to cost the taxpayers anything. It's all private donations. And it is. It's giant private donations. What do those people get for that? That's the weirdest. White House is more transactional than I am comfortable with. That is if Biden was doing a lot of the stu with like bitcoin, not bitcoin, but you know, cryptocurrencies and stuff and NFTs and all that Trump is doing and then he pardons that crypto guy, I would be howling about it. I've thought about that about lots of different things that presidents do, even their presidential libraries. No, no, no. It's no taxpayer money. It's from donations. Okay, who's. Who's donating and why? What are they getting out of it? They getting something out of while you're still in office, promising a whole bunch of money for your presidential library. We might be better off if it were taxpayer money. Right, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A republic if you can keep it. Yeah. These are troubled times. Troubled. What are you gonna do? You're gonna dance in a ballroom. That's what you're gonna do. It's gonna be a nice ballroom. I have no doubt he's good at building, you know, hotels and that sort of thing. Again, it's gonna look like a Chinese restaurant. Inside, there's gonna be a lot of gold. Yeah, yeah. So speaking of Donald J. Trade war with Canada. Now he has terminated Trade Canada because they had the temerity. That's a fancy word that means balls to run an ad, apparently. Would you like to hear the ad, Jack, that still offended the President? I heard it referenced and I didn't know what they're talking about. I didn't dig into the story. I've kind of lost the thread on tariffs. Clip number 90, please, Michael. Here's the offensive ad run by our longtime nemesis, Canada. When someone says, let's impose tariffs on foreign imports, it looks like they're doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs. And sometimes for a short while, it works, but only for a short time. But over the long run, such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer. High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars. Then the worst happens. Markets shrink and collapse, businesses and industries shut down and millions of people lose their jobs. All right, that's good, Michael. I could barely understand the guy through his thick Canadian accent, but I'm sorry, the control room is saying that's Ronald Reagan. Oh, my goodness. Obviously the voice of Ronald Reagan. But is that. Did Ronald Reagan actually say that? Yeah, that was from a radio address he gave. Oh, wow. Back in 1987. That's a pretty powerful, powerful tool to shoot into America with, you know, the love of Reagan on the right. That's pretty good. So they put that out and Trump didn't like it. Yeah, yeah. Trump severed all negotiations with Canada. And I'll tell you why in a second. Real quick, cuz I've got it in front of me. The Ronald Reagan Presidential foundation and Institute said on social media last night, shortly before Trump's comments, that the ad misrepresented Reagan's address. Plus, the Ontario government didn't ask for permission to use the audio, which they don't need, I would guess. Adding that it is reviewing its legal options, the foundation did not say what was inaccurate at all about the ad. So will this. Will there be a lot more nationalism in the World Series tonight in Toronto? Not just rooting for your Blue Jays, but rooting for Canada against the evil United States? It's not going to be the other way around, because we're not really worked up about it in the United States, but in Canada, it seems like Canada's pretty worked up about this whole thing, especially now. Even if you know the previous, like, what was that eight months ago? We're going to annex Canada Stuff has died down. Yeah, 51st stated it up again. Right. So here's what Trump said. Based on their egregious behavior, all. All caps, all trade negotiations with Canada are hereby terminated. The president claimed that Canada, quote, fraudulently. Fraudulently used an advertisement which is fake. All caps featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about tariffs. Nobody's made it clear in what way it was fake or altered. And you're solid on that? Reagan actually said that? Well, it was from a. The ad uses audio from a 1987 radio address delivered by Reagan, according to the Wall Street Journal. Okay, that's enough for me. Well, nobody's nobody. You know, that's a little vague, too. It's possible some of it is legit and some of it is not. I don't know. Well, if it's misleadingly edited or some of its AI, I would like to know that. That'll come out very quickly. Oh, here's the link to the address. In the address by. Posted on YouTube by the Reagan Presidential Library, the former president expounds at length on his commitment to free trade, which has been the Republican position for my whole life up until a year ago. Well, see, that's the thing. Everything he said was the Republican position my entire life. So, I mean, is it possible Canada edited it in a creative way or something like. Yeah, yeah. But it does not mislead in any way as to Reagan's stance on free trade. So if we bombed Montreal or. I don't know, I'll have to check. Do you think, though, that it could become a nationalistic thing with the whole World Series, kind of a mini version of Miracle on Ice? Are hockey players upsetting the Soviet Union? I mean, is. I can practically guarantee it. Really? Wow. That ups the ante. If the crowd is not only excited about beating the Dodgers, but beating the United States, you are going to hear loud booing during our national anthem. Oh, wow. And Trump will, of course, seize upon that. That as a pretext for more anti Canadian aggressions. Okay, well, I'm definitely tuning in for the national anthem tonight then, and probably the game. The. The leader of Ontario, who's. What's his name? Ford. Doug Ford, the brother of the drunken galoot who passed away. He has been forcefully advocating for Canada to be more aggressive with the US in trade negotiations. He has said he's willing to curtail energy and mineral exports to the US in retaliation. Ontario, Canada's most populous province, has recently lost auto sector jobs partly because of Trump's tariffs. And so they're, they're, you know, we don't need to be in a trade war with Canada, for God's sake. I don't know. I don't like the way they look at us. Not sure I can do this anymore. Can do what anymore? This. What we're doing. I don't have it in me anymore. It's too tiring. I don't know. I was already kind of excited about the World Series, but this really makes it something if you got that level of national passion going on. Yeah. Yep.

And also the other thing we mentioned, the World Series, the Dodgers are heavy betting favorites. That league hasn't been tainted, has it? Not since 1906. The Dodgers are heavy favorites to be biggest star in the game betting scandal. It was my interpreter. It was my interpreter. Yeah, it was. His interpreter said the league desperate to cover it up. According to some observers. That rosier guy. I heard this this morning. The player that I just watched that highlight video, one of those passes is. That's absolutely inexcusable. I mean everybody makes mistakes, including pros. You'll see somebody drop a fly ball this week, but I've never seen an NBA player make a pass like that one. It was almost a handoff.

Okay, According to Bloomberg, the Canadians sliced and diced the original Reagan address in a way that is definitely not cool. Changing it materially. I will look into this and we'll get that because Trump might have a point. I don't know about the tariff thing, but he might have a point that that is. That's not cool. Don't be cutting up former presidents and lying to us. I mean, what the hell. Yeah, I'm curious to hear in what way it's a lie as opposed to just a concentration of. Bloomberg says the ad used selective audio and video clips and misrepresented the address. Okay, I'll read more on it. Yeah, yeah. I hate when journalists so called characterize things as opposed to spelling them out for you. I don't trust you to interpret it for me. Just tell me the words here. Speaking of words, here's your freedom loving quotes of the day. Wrap up our series from the Great Chinese Warrior Sun 2. Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate. There's another one. Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance. Wow, that's a good one. And finally, he will win. Who knows when to fight and when not to fight. Most people, organizations and countries Cannot pretend inferiority. Your. Your pride won't let you.

Mailbag, drop us a Note mailbag@armstronggetty.com let's see Psy represent rights. He, he'd written an email about jihadis and, and getting virgins and how the numbers don't work out. You'd have to have a never ending supply of virgins. But then he says, coincidentally I was watching Family Guy tonight and one cutaway gag. Was this Muslim suicide bomber entering heaven when he gets there? 72 virgins or 72 nerdy teenage boys playing magic the gathering. Oh, wow. Ah, Seth McFarlane. Not Reverend more seriously. You know, we'll go with Aileen Anonymous with this one. Guys. The Florida truck driver that killed some people and the most recent truck driver that killed people in Southern California both got their commercial driver's licenses in Yuba City, California. Aileen is from Yuba City. She writes, my town has turned into a major trucking hub, which I hate. And many of the trucking companies are owned by Indians. We have the largest Indian population outside of India and a lot of them don't speak English. There are accidents involving semis almost every day around here. I hope these disasters lead to an investigation into our DMV and these company owners that are clearly hiring their illegal family members and sending them out into the wild with no experience or understanding the signs and languages. Wow. Language rather. What kind of state allows that to happen? And the story out today is the guy flunked his test how many times before he finally got his license? Several. And she signs off. K H I T D Y G D M Keep hiring illegals to drive your giant death machines. Wow, that's a horrible story. Yeah. Will Gavin Newsom cover it up in the name of the we like illegals cult? I don't know. Let's see. We don't have a lot of time and we'll skip that one. I like Ricky. Ricky's email. Here is a subject line is Cash me outside Patel. And we were scratching our head over Cash Patel talking about we, you know, how brave they were in bringing these charges and the pushback they got. And, and, and he points out. Yeah, he's always been a showman. You remember that way, how he went off on how the Charlie Kirk assassin was brought to justice because of the full weight of the law. Yeah. When it was his dad convinced him to turn himself in. Yeah, I thought that at the time. Yeah. Okay, we got a lot more on that scandal if you haven't heard it.

Lexus is a company that believes in the importance of setting a standard which I can appreciate as someone who holds themselves to lofty, if not ridiculous standards, especially with the car I drive. The standard Lexus set for themselves is to experience amazing. Lexus measures success by the feeling and emotions evoked in a driver, like exhilaration and joy. Amazing can only be achieved by knowing people on a deeper level. The standard of amazing results in a feeling in drivers that their car was built in anticipation of them. Machines that make you feel more human because a car that doesn't make you feel something is a car that stops short of amazing experience. Amazing at your Lexus deal.
