Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Banning Drinking Alone at Bars & The “Drinking Buddy” App [02:44–08:39]

• Origin Story: Holmberg reports on a bar (possibly in New Hampshire) banning solo drinkers, as explained by a bartender's concerns: solo patrons often signal personal distress, can become difficult to manage, and present liability issues for the bar.
• Bar Liability: Bars face risks if a solo customer becomes belligerent, needs help, or leaves intoxicated without someone to intervene ("If I kick you out and you get mad and you drive, the bar's responsible." - John Holmberg, 03:13).
• Regulars vs. Newcomers: Regulars who begin solo often develop friendships. The restriction targets transient or unfamiliar solo patrons in late-night social hours.
• App Proposal: “Drinking Buddy” — an app connecting people who prefer not to drink alone, but also aren’t looking for conversation. Think: carpooling for introverts at social spaces. “We hook up… say, 'Hey, I'm thinking about going to Local Legends. All right, I'll meet you there.' …But Drinking Buddy, that way you can go to bars by yourself and not look like some sort of weirdo … and still, still be alone.” (Holmberg, 03:47)
• Potential Problems: The hosts joke about unintended consequences:
  • Accidental socializing or political arguments: “All right, lefty, I didn't agree to this.” (Bret Vesely, 04:11)
  • App misuse risks: Grindr parallels, “rape trap” jokes, and potential confusion over user intentions.
• Social Commentary: Drinking alone remains a social red flag: “Drinking alone is frowned upon for a reason. Usually it's not a good thing. Like, that's a sign of alcoholism.” (Holmberg, 05:45)
• Personal Anecdotes: Overnight work shifts leading to daylight “happy hour” at home, life crises leading to solo drinking, and the fine line between normal and problematic behavior.

Notable Quote

"Nobody's, like, had a great day alone and goes home and guzzles alcohol by themselves. There's something usually plowed."
— John Holmberg (06:01)

2. Perspective: Living in the Greatest Time Ever [09:00–12:04]

• Gratitude Reminder: Holmberg implores listeners to appreciate life in 2025, referencing technological abundance, on-demand services, and improving living standards.
• Economic Contradictions: A tongue-in-cheek critique of resource misuse — for example, well-off people queuing for free turkeys in luxury vehicles:
  “A dude pulled up in a brand new Trailhawk Jeep Cherokee and grabbed one of the free turkeys … Go buy a goddamn turkey.” (Holmberg, 09:33)
• Modern Complaints: Most problems are “inconveniences rather than true complaints.” (Holmberg, 10:36)
• Technological Progress: Mentions how rapid advances (FaceTime, electric cars, driverless vehicles) have normalized what was once sci-fi.

Notable Quote

"Look around you and tell me this isn’t the greatest time to be a human being, at least here for the most part. Food's in abundance ... The technology’s through the roof. What we complain about is usually fairly easy."
— John Holmberg (09:10)

3. China’s Mach 16 Hypersonic Plane [12:04–25:29]

• The News: China has unveiled a plane capable of circling the earth in seven hours (Mach 16, ~3,050 mph), with test flights already conducted.
• Comparison to the Concorde:
  • Concorde was “Mach 2, about 1,354 miles an hour” (24:28), taking three hours from New York to London. The new Chinese plane halves that, with potential for an LA–Sydney journey in five hours (“this can get me from LA to Sydney in about five hours, four hours.” – Holmberg, 12:21).
  • US and Japan are likely to join the “race to five hours.”
• Technological Speculation:
  • Will it need ‘space suits’ for passengers since it flies 25 miles up?
  • How will sonic booms be managed—US has lifted certain bans to allow supersonic flights over land.
  • Will safety measures evolve — pods, lay-flat cabins?
• Public Reaction & Beta Testing:
  • Would the hosts beta test such a plane? Some would risk it for free lifetime flights, though most agree they’d like to “see it crash once” before boarding. (15:04–15:15)
• Perspective on Progress: A century ago commercial passenger flight barely existed; now, globe-trotting in hours is becoming real. “We don’t even marvel at human achievement anymore.” (Holmberg, 15:36)
• Comic Relief: Banter about traveling on slow blimps (“for people who want to talk too much”), jokes about names (“Your captain of something. Wong.”), and the inevitability of U.S. competition.

Notable Quotes

"The Chinese have invented the Mach 16 airplane. It can go around the earth in seven hours … It can make it from New York to London in an hour and 20 minutes."
— John Holmberg (11:02)

"You’re all excited because you’ve got a GTO that goes 120. That’s crazy talk. Anyway, thanks, Chinese people. If you know a Chinese person today, tell them happy Thanksgiving."
— John Holmberg (25:29)

[C]

Still streaming Homberg's Morning Sickness online at 98kupd.com There's a banger right there. That's Nine Inch Nails. I like that. And it's much better than the movie it comes from, evidently, which has done no business whatsoever. But that is a.

[A]

That bad, huh?

[C]

Well, it's. I think they were expecting it to be an explosively great thing, and it wasn't. It looks neat, at least the thing. But I don't understand why Tron's a movie. The first one wasn't. I'm going to piss Tron fans. The first one wasn't good. It just wasn't a good movie. It looked really cool, especially for 1983.

[D]

Yeah. When it came out in 83, you.

[C]

Look at it, holy Christ, how cool is this movie look? But then you watch it and you're like, oh, and that was the first time they made a movie out of a video game. And you realize that that is. There's Been like, two that are okay. Lara Croft, maybe. The Tomb Raider movies are good. Even the Donkey Kong ones where you had the wacky, stereotypical Italians. Not good. Like, you can't.

[D]

Ready? Player one. Pretty solid.

[C]

Well, that wasn't about a video game now. It was about video games. Yeah, those characters that would. But it wasn't about, like, oh, we are now in Tron. It's. There's not many.

[A]

I think the video game was actually better than the movie.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Oh, Tron. Yeah.

[A]

It's not even close with the light cycles and stuff.

[C]

So cool. And then. So we wanted to put a story around it, and they're like, there's nothing going on here. So I don't. I don't know why people actually expected that to go, well. Brett, you're at the bar a lot.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Thighs got a bar. I saw this the other day. I like this. I want to start an app. I think I want to start a new app. Go to you on this one. There's a bar, and I think it's in New Hampshire or something, where they're banning people who drink alone. And the bartender made a lot of good points. I thought it was just being a dick. He goes, look, first of all, usually when you drink alone, something's wrong, so you're more apt to be, like, a loudmouth. Second, and you drink alone, the liabilities for the bar go through the roof. You got nobody to take care of you if something happens. If you leave. If I kick you out and you get mad and you drive, the bar's responsible. I don't know where you've been before. I don't know if you showed up drunk. Like, you don't have anybody in your corner going, hey, it's time to go. So he does. He's like, I just don't want that responsibility. I'm like, that makes some sense. That, like, that's kind of a reasonable thought.

[D]

It's tough on neighborhood bars.

[A]

Yeah, exactly.

[C]

On a lot of regular dudes that come in by themselves. But those regulars have become regulars who now have buddied up. That's why I want to start the app Drinking Buddy. You drink alone, I drink alone. We hook up on Drinking Buddy and say, hey, I'm thinking about going to Local Legends. All right, I'll meet you there. I'm gonna sit. We'll go in together, and then we'll just sit by ourselves, or we'll sit near each other and. But Drinking Buddy, that way you can go to bars by yourself and not look like some Sort of weirdo and still, still be alone.

[A]

But then you gotta have all your. I like this, I like this. I don't like.

[C]

Oh, yeah?

[A]

Well, then the problem is you're gonna run into some politics too. Like, all right, lefty, I didn't agree to this.

[C]

But that's the reason Drinking Buddy exists. And it would have to be put out there to say, look, it's for people who don't want to talk to you. You just, it's just our admission. It's like the carpool lane. I wanted to start an app a long time ago and go carpool with me. Then you start getting into conversations. Drinking Buddy's like, we're just going in together and sitting near each other, just like we would if we were drinking alone. This doesn't mean we can talk. And maybe you stir up or start up a friendship.

[D]

But isn't the main reason you're doing this is because the person that's comes in alone isn't leaving alone drunk and getting behind the wheel? Is that the main.

[C]

One of the reasons is he just. He kind of. He was kind of basically saying, look, they're harder to deal with when things go bad. Sometimes if you let people in on their own, the reason why they're on their own is they got no one to talk to, so they smother other people. He goes, that's a problem. There's a lot of that. And he said, and then, you know, you kind of have people getting like, hey, Buddy, you're not with us kind of vibe. And it's, it's a, it's. It's a little catalyst for a problem alone drinking. And he's like, so I just decided, this guy said, that's it. I'll just, you know, if you're there, you're by yourself. You're out after 9 o'. Clock. Once the bar starts becoming like a social scene and you got some dude sitting in the bar. I like it. And Drinking Buddy is a good app.

[A]

You got to think about. You got to also think about, like, if you're there with your buddies, you're going to drink more. Come on, another shot. Let's do so. There is that aspect of it, too.

[C]

Sitting at a bar stool nursing a beer for hours compared to shots, man. Let's go, bro. It's great.

[A]

All right, I'm buying your next one.

[C]

He says it's for the safety of all of his guests. And people are saying, oh, you're narrow minded sometimes. But shouldn't we discourage people? Drinking alone is drinking Alone. Ever. Really. It's frowned upon for a reason. Usually it's not a good thing. Like, that's a sign of alcoholism.

[D]

Yeah, there's a little bit of a.

[C]

Reason when you drink alone at home, like, and I mean drink like, I'm going up for a third one. Something's wrong. Right. Nobody's, like, had a great day alone and goes home and guzzles alcohol by themselves. There's something usually plowed.

[A]

I mean, like when I was doing overnight. So I'd come home and it was. It was happy hour at my house. I'm having cocktails in the morning all alone.

[C]

And you had a problem. We talked to you about it.

[A]

Well, I was doing overnights, for Christ's sake.

[C]

Of course I did. That's what I'm saying. You're not happy. Your life's not going the way you want, so you're drinking for other reasons.

[A]

But it wasn't just overnights.

[C]

Yeah, you had that divorce. You had that wife. You didn't want to go home to her. No, you had that. Yeah. You're doing overnights. Yeah. Brett, we need to have an intervention about your past.

[A]

I bought handles.

[C]

Oh. So, yeah, you were making my point. You weren't exactly in the greatest mental state to be, like, alone drinking. Right.

[A]

But it felt good.

[C]

Now think of it. If you're owning a bar and Matthias in on this, like, she's got some guy who drinks alone, and she's been serving him and talking to him, and he goes home and offs himself, and the family's like, who served him? And it can happen with a regular group, but it's less likely to happen if a guy's drinking alone. He's at least got buddies. I like this rule. I like it a lot because it makes my app more possible. Drinking buddies, a real thing.

[D]

It'd be an inconvenience for people, but you could have an app where no matter where you're at, your phone detects it. Oh, you can't drive. You're too impaired.

[C]

Well, that's. That's.

[A]

That's just the blow.

[C]

Well, that's just the goddamn government getting in my life, Brady. And I don't like where you're going with this. I don't need big brother telling me when I can drive and when I can't. I'm good at all these people. I'm a goddamn good one at it. I can get it. I can get you from A to B. I'm not on heroin, for Christ's sake. I'm a man. Yeah, I like that thing. Drinking buddy's a good idea. John, isn't your app called Grindr already? Yeah, there's that aspect of it, too, that it could turn into a gay thing pretty fast. Pop up all over sud. Got a guy who's solo. It's also called hey, I'm the rapist. Like, I'm the rapist is another thing, because it's like, oh, guy alone. A victim. Like, I'll go meet up with him. Yeah, it's.

[A]

Or you can change the app to gulp instead of hey.

[C]

And you know what? This goes. Jesus Christ, here we go, you commie socialist homo F words. This is America.

[A]

Knew it.

[C]

I want to drink alone. See, you're the type of guy we're talking about. How dare you homos even bring this up? All right, this is a guy who drinks alone and he's mad about it. But here's who's the bar is talking.

[A]

But then the flip side, leave it to the magtard to make a drinking game political.

[C]

How did I even bring politics into this? So I'm also a liberal commie magtard. Damn it. It happened again.

[A]

Another one.

[C]

How am I both? How am I all of these things to people? A communist magtard I've been called. Say again?

[A]

This guy just said you can change the name to Junos with a K.

[C]

Yes, yes, there's that. Also, I just saw this this morning and I wanted to wait and bring this up. I have said this a million times. Happy Thanksgiving, by the way, to everybody. And I'm going to say that because you should give thanks that you are on planet Earth in 2025, having the greatest run humanity's ever had. Oh, we can. Sure. And we do. But look around you and tell me this isn't the greatest time to be a human being, at least here for the most part. Foods in abundance. Do we abuse that? Yes, but it's available. We waste a lot. We can fix some things, but it's there. You can order anything you want and have it delivered to your home at any time. We have cars, we have planes, we have driverless cars. The technology's through the roof. What we complain about is usually fairly easy. Brett and I were talking about this, looking at the news the other night, watching those turkey drives, and I love that they have them. Learner. And Row has a great one. There's a lot of people do a lot of nice things. A dude pulled up in a brand new Trailhawk Jeep Cherokee and grabbed one of the free turkeys. And I'm Sitting there thinking that car, because I just looked at cars, is about $108,000. Go buy a goddamn turkey. Yeah, okay. No, you're. You have to have a cruddy car to go through the line.

[A]

Borrow one or a hooptie or what.

[C]

Yeah. If you've got 108 grand for a Trailhawk, go buy a three thousand dollar beater if you're gonna scam the system for a free turkey.

[D]

And two weeks ago I had heard there were, you know, 8,000 turkeys light. Right now it's down to Look, Trailhawk.

[C]

Over there is taking his Trailhawks for spinning through. Cause he's got extra visitors in his 10,000 square foot house. And I know learner and row, and I've talked to Kevin about it. It's like, look, you can't go through the line and say you qualified. You're not. People who are going through the line are, you're not going to question it. But if I see a Trailhawk, you can just keep it moving. You can't show up in $108,000 car and do that. But we have that. I looked at a lady complaining online the other day and she was on the news and she has a brand new iPhone, the Kevin Hart one. It's orange, it's brand new. Yeah, something like you can cut back on some stuff. Most of the things we complain about are inconveniences rather than true complaints. I say this because it will be in our lifetime, possibly in this decade, that what I saw this morning will be a reality to us. Like the driverless car, like electric cars and all the technology we've seen that we take for granted. Picture, you know, FaceTime. That was a thing none of us thought was like, that was Dick Tracy crap. And here it is and we don't even bat an eye. The Chinese have invented the Mach 16 airplane. It can go around the earth in seven hours. They tested it in March. 3,050 miles an hour. They're like, we're ready. Let's put some people on this. It can make it from New York to London in an hour and 20 minutes.

[D]

Which means bringing the Concorde back.

[C]

Well, the Concorde's coming back in its own. And the reason why is because they see that the Chinese have invented this thing and they're like, we gotta get on the ball. That's the seven hours around the planet.

[A]

And what was the Concord? How long did it take to get Concord?

[C]

Took about three hours was its record.

[A]

So this is like half.

[C]

And that half cuts that in half. And that's the short spell if you want to go from here to Australia. And I've been on that flight, trust me, it ain't fun. 16 hours to land in Sydney and usually that's a connecting flight. So you're on a plane for 20 something hours. It's awful. This can get me from LA to Sydney in about five hours, four hours. And that's with all the garbage of airports. They could probably boost it to three. So if you wanted to go from LA to New York the long way, six hours, it's the same flight from LA to New York right now. They can do it and you can go over. It's unbelievable. Hear the words you say sometimes. I mean, who talks like that? 98 KUPD.

[B]

Hey, it's Larry McFeely. And if you live in Arizona, you already know this state was built for Toyota. Whether you're chasing the sunrise up in Sedona, cruising through downtown Phoenix, or my favorite, camping in the forest, there's a Toyota that fits your kind of adventure. Tacoma and Tundra are rugged and reliable for desert trails. The Camry is smooth, efficient and perfect for your daily drive. And the four Runner is Arizona's off road legend. Wherever the Arizona road takes you, make sure you're driving a Toyota. Visit your valley toyota dealer or valleytoyotadeealers.com toyota let's go places.

[C]

It's John Holmerg here from the morning Cygnus and it's time to talk about TVs Doug Hopkins of my home group and Doug hopkins.com boy, that team at Doug Hopkins office is amazing. Not only will Doug Hopkins buy your home for cash as is and get that deal done lickety split, his team is unbelievable. If you've got a place that needs a ton of work, Doug will help you out by making that cash offer as is. Or he'll list your place if it's already perfect. All you have to do is start the process [e-mail] or grab the phone and sing Hopkins. 1-800-sale now. Homburg's morning sickness. That's going to happen in our lifetime.

[D]

Did they say I didn't look? Did they say how many passengers on the.

[C]

Not yet. Because they haven't built it up like that yet. It's. It's a rocket. And so Larry and I were talking yesterday because Waymo just now said, do you want to try us on the freeway? Like if you're on the app, it'll say, want to go to run? It's a little trepidatious. The way they're asking, like, if you'd like, we'll take you on the freeway. It's new to us, too. And then you hit the thing go, I'm interested. And then it's like, all right, you're on a list. So you get on a list of people who are willing to risk getting on the freeway in a driverless car. Now, it's a little scary, but I love the Waymo. Would you get on the 3,000 mile an hour plane as a beta tester for a free flight around the world?

[B]

Sure.

[D]

I don't think it's a beta test.

[C]

You wouldn't run off the bat, like, look, it's free. How about this? Free for the rest of your life.

[D]

To go through some kinks.

[C]

Yeah, I need to see it crash once. Free for the rest of your life of flying if you do. If you're one of the test runners.

[A]

I'll take a shot on that.

[C]

Me too. Yeah. Would you do.

[A]

Worth the risk.

[D]

Free for life.

[C]

But you got to go through the first 20 flights of just testing. You're not going anywhere, but it's good. And it's going to run one around the world. You're going to take off from Phoenix and land in Phoenix seven hours later. But we're going to see where the kinks are. You get on that commie jet. I'm not racist. I'm getting on that.

[D]

Me too.

[C]

I don't care. Half stuff I have on is from China. Why am I all of a sudden picking fights with them? Yeah. Seven hours around the world. But I mean, think about how great that is. And again, we as human beings, we don't even marvel at human achievement anymore. It'll be about 100 years that we've actually had passenger flight that we went from. Holy cow, it got off the ground and it went 100ft to. We can get around the world in seven hours. 100 years.

[D]

I'm just not that much of a hurry.

[C]

You're not. You'd rather sit on a plane? Not me. Think about it. From here to Albuquerque is like five minutes. Like, you want to go to Albuquerque? Maybe one of those would beta crash into Albuquerque. That wouldn't be so bad.

[D]

They got to be flying, like, at a really high altitude.

[C]

You'd think so.

[D]

Just screaming everything out of the way.

[C]

Yeah. You can't. You can't risk nicking anything. The wind. Because they have problems right now. When a jumbo jet like a big boy goes off ahead of like a 737. They've got to wait, like, five minutes because the air still spins and they have to make sure it's all calmed like water. Did they say how they're going to deal with the sonic boom? Because that's why the Concorde went away. They wouldn't allow it to fly over. Well, they say that places. The Concorde went away because A, one crashed and B, no one was buying. Crash was a big one. Yeah. And people. The price of tickets was another one. It got crazy. They have not talked about that. I mean, it's one of those things that I said. I mean, come on. Big deal.

[A]

Well, it says the US has lifted the band on overland flights for supersonics.

[C]

Yeah. Because they can make the.

[E]

There you go.

[C]

Because we can tell people now on their phones, hey, every day at 1:15, the boom's gonna happen so people don't flip the F out that we're getting bombed. I think I'd beta test this thing if they called me up. Oh, you want to get on a parade and go around an order in a 7 hour? I sure do. Jing. I. You wouldn't feel anything if it crashed. You disintegrate. Yeah, what if you find out that people are disintegrating from the speed anyway? We lose a compression, everybody turn to dust. That's fine. Well, that's a good way to go.

[D]

Concord. You know, it was just a panel. A faulty panel.

[C]

Sure. And it's. Well, all things can break. Not worried about it being perfect. It's gonna crash. But think about the first people that got on. But it was relatively safe, regular planes. Think about it. Talking this same conversation. Did you see the giant blimp they flew over San Francisco the other day? 7 times larger than the Goodyear blimp. And, like, we can do this for passenger travel. It's. It's big as the Golden Gate Bridge.

[D]

They can test that?

[C]

Oh, absolutely. Yeah, I think I can leap out of that. It's going, like, a mile an hour.

[D]

There's enough time to figure something out.

[C]

You can rebuild a new blimp in the time yours is gonna crash.

[A]

And why are you gonna travel on a blimp? It takes forever to get anywhere.

[C]

Those are for people who want to talk too much. Yeah. Back to drinking, buddy. I got some guy that wants my ear off. And we're blimping from San Francisco to San Luis Obispo, and it takes eight hours. Meanwhile, the Chinese are shooting across the planet in seven hours.

[A]

Ping put me up in that concert. I'm in there.

[C]

I'm with you. He's Your captain of something. Wong.

[D]

What about that train we saw the other day? Oh, and they taper that down.

[C]

300 miles an hour on a train. I mean, why are we complaining? It's the greatest time to be alive. I know there's rough stuff, personally, financially. You got a problem here. You hate Trump, you love Trump, and your friends hate Trump. I don't know what you're bitching about. For the most part, everybody's just inconvenienced. China has built a plan. I don't care who did it either. Seven hours around the planet, that's 26,000 miles.

[D]

That's helping.

[C]

Come on. It's getting her done, man. So sometimes you tip your cap to the opposition. China. Nice job. Now, what I know is, is it Japan or China? China. What I know is. And you can't tell the difference, but it is China, and you'll piss people off. Say the opposite is that Japan and the United States aren't going to stand for this. We're going to build a better. Whatever one of those are. And the Mach 17 that we come up with, because if seven hours is the first try, in a few years, us can be like, hey, China, we're doing it in five. It's all, name that tune.

[D]

747 is a model.

[C]

Oh, those are going like prop planes. Oh, I cannot wait for this. Oh, my. And they said they'll fly 25 miles in the air. This guy says, that's up there. That's a little bit up there.

[D]

You're going to be in a spacesuit.

[C]

Oh, yeah. You're going to have to wear like. You're going to be like Katy Perry and float around with that flower and stare at a camera. So good job, Chinese. We don't say that enough here in the States. Sometimes I do. Xi Jin's a nice guy, good leader, and he's got that super plane that's a lot better than mine. May I get a great plane? But now we got those people over there in the Yemen or whatever or Jordan that are building us the new Air Force One. Nix that. Let's talk to Xi Jing. They'll put surveillance stuff. We don't have enough equipment. We can't rush through it once to find out if they're spying on us through the new Mach 16. Get that thing to our President ASAP. Here's what I'm saying. Make friends with China now, because if we're not on board with this, those jets are coming here. They're not going to be happy. So if we don't have our own. We have to make friends with China.

[D]

Take off. Straight up.

[C]

Just about awesome. I want to be on it. Brett and I will be the first ones on it.

[A]

We're going.

[C]

We're going to Turks and Caicos. Well, Brady's like, good luck. Yeah, that's right.

[D]

What? See you on Monday.

[C]

What? Oh, you should have been there, Brady. It was awesome. What? God damn it. We can't tell them about our awesome supersonic.

[D]

I'm worried about my ear popping.

[C]

Yeah. Oh, 25 miles might cure it. You might explode into the greatest hearing you've ever had. Anyway, thank you, China. You heard me. Those commies get it done. I say I'm a magtard communist. I've been called that before. Not sure how it works, but I'm all on it. Did I hear you and Brett talk about wanting to blimp and drink together? Isn't that gay? No, that's a blumpkin, not a blimpkin. That's different.

[A]

We never said anything about blimkton.

[C]

No, we're not gonna blumpkin either. Anyway. And the Concorde is coming back, but it's now. I mean, that's a new design. Pretty cool. It's neat, but they made the inside really nice. But it's the same old thing.

[D]

I. I could handle three hours and 17 minutes to lunch.

[C]

You say that, but if there was an hour and a half version, you'd be like, this sucks. It's the same thing as saying, I can handle six hours on a regular plane, nine hours to France. Of course you can, but why would you want to? But why would you want to when three hours exist? It's like when you have cookies in the house and you eat a cookie and you put the bag back. Those Tate's cookies are the worst because they. You bag them back and put them back on the shelf, and you go sit down, and you're like, I want another cookie. And you go, eat. And then there's no cookies left. You stop having cravings. If you got a bag of chips and you eat chips, you put the chip bag back, you sit down, you're like, there's still chips. I want those chips. Until it's gone. Your brain just says, no. Same with flying. Wait, I can take a six hour version or a three hour version. Okay, I can take a three hour version or an hour and a half. You're gonna want the best option. Like, it sucks. Like, there's a reason why you won't fly to Salt Lake City to get to Las Vegas. Even though it's a lot cheaper because it's gonna take forever. Convenience. We live in it.

[A]

I mean, I'm gonna inspect the plane we get on. If they're. If it's. If it's a PlayStation controller running like Patel and the boys, I'm out. But you know. Yeah, legitimate stick and computers up there. Yeah, yeah.

[C]

If my foot goes through the floor, it's like, hey guys, did you. Oh. Cabin of steroido shaky. Don't worry, everything is a top notch. All right, I'll take your word for it there. But we have you back here at seven hour. You see hollow whirl. All right, just don't walk around too much, guys. They'll go too fast. You shoot the back of praying. And can you get up on a 3,000 mile an hour thing and walk to the bathroom?

[D]

I don't know.

[C]

You know what's great? You know what's great? Save this conversation. And in six years I'll be like, listen to those idiots talking about how we fly now. It's gotta be like, how do you compress the air to normalize 3,000 miles an hour. I don't get it.

[D]

A lot of pressure.

[C]

Oh, so your eardrums are gonna feel it.

[A]

How fast was the Concord?

[C]

I think it was like a third of that. Either way, great job, Chinise. We're proud of you. This is a lot better than the coke joke we always tell about you. You're serious about something right now. Most of the time you're just putting stuff on temu. That sucks. This is the real deal right here. Well, I'm.

[A]

Concord was 1354 miles an hour. Mach 2.

[C]

Nearly tripled Mach 16.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

And the good thing is now it's the. The race to five hours. And it'll happen. Unless we die tragically soon. It will happen in our lifetime. Awesome. So cool. And how do we sign up for it? Brett, do you want to try go online and try to see if you can get us on this thing as a test? A couple of test dummies. I'll wear the little yellow dots and let them take a look at my corpse if it hits a wall. To see how they can make safety measures?

[D]

They won't find much.

[C]

No, that's. Well what they find. They'll be like, this is no good. Your head far off. We have to have a better head restraint. I wonder if you just lay in a pod or something the whole time.

[D]

That's what I'm thinking.

[C]

Like an air. Like it would be like an alien. Yeah, you have to shoot into one of those pods. Awesome.

[D]

The cabin lay down.

[C]

Yeah. 3,000 miles an hour. Come on. You're all excited because you've got a GTO that goes 120. That's crazy talk. Anyway, thanks, Chinese people. If you know a Chinese person today, tell them happy Thanksgiving. Dale's gonna be in here in just a little bit. Talk about sp before the big sports week and rivalry week in college. You got tomorrow's Thanksgiving day games and Dale was part of what, nine of those, 10 of those when he was with the Cowboys. I've always. I've never asked him about it. We'll talk about the Thanksgiving day games in the NFL next. It's 98, Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect. It's John Holber here. Time to talk about TV's Doug Hopkins of my home group and Doug Hopkins dot com. I just sat down with TV's Doug Hopkins. We did some TV commercials while we're watching football. So you get to see me sit next to Doug and somehow or another make Doug look pretty. And I'm happy to do it, too. I bought and sold houses using Doug Hopkins. So I've been through the process and he's the real deal. He is not going to cancel or change the game with fine print contingencies. Simple cash offer and the deal is done. Start the process online@doug hopkins.com or grab the phone and sing.
