  Speaker 1: No, I can understand.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: But you know, I'll tell you what growing up as a boy in wisconsin, well, you wouldn't grow up as a man so yeah I'm biting my tongue I've never, to be honest with you, I've never grown up, so none of us have.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Um, why had just as much fun in the wintertime as we did in the summertime?
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: And just because the weather was cold or it was snowing, that was more of an invitation to get outside and enjoy it and have fun, didn't you?
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Because it didn't last very long.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, we had some snow when I lived in Oklahoma as a kid.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: It didn't last like year-round, you just had it for a few weeks.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: It started snowing around Thanksgiving and it didn't end until Easter.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Well, you were a little further north it's snowing up in.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Michigan the other night, the other day, yeah.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Not like it was back in my day.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: No, but you bring up back in your day when you always found something to do outside, always.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Because you didn't have.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: You could always take a wagon wheel and slide down.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: The video games and all the stuff that keeps you inside for the kids.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Today we didn't have that.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: So today we don't, we didn't have that so you had to go outside and play.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: We I mean we'd had indoor activities.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I mean I had toy trucks and you know stuff like our sets and trains and all that.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Dad built me a train set down the basement.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I mean playing ping pong and all that.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, there was stuff to do.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: It was always stuff to do, but, um, we enjoyed outdoors.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I lost a set of glasses with my sled up at the high school that had a tiered hill from the high school down to an elementary school down below.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Man, I'd take that sled, fly off the top of that hill and I just barely touched the first tier and then down to the first tier.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was awesome, had so much fun up there days on it.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I'd go up there.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Mom would take me up there by myself, I don't need anybody doing fine by myself.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Or we'd go to the ice skating rink.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I had two near me that we'd go to.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I'd spend hours up there at the skating rink and they never, ever did any kind of ice treatment or cleaning during the day.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Was it an actual rink, rink with size like they play hockey on?
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: No, we used to have the city flood.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: A park and build up the banks the boards around it.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Well, more snow banks is what it was.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, not for me.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: We had boards around it and they put little I don't know rubber things in there, so the water didn't flow out when they were filling it and it took several hours for the fire hose to fill it up and, boy, it froze just like tomorrow it's always going to freeze and it stayed frozen for months.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: How were we doing?
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, fun times, yeah, and it was full of kids and we just had a good time doing it.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we had to go check the ice on the pond.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: It never really got that hard.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Well, we went ice skating on the river, the fox river that ran through waukesha, and, uh, there was a certain part that you just didn't go far, you didn't go too far not that far you go, fall in.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Then they had cones out there so you wouldn't go over there.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, all right, enough of the reminiscing about winter.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: We talked about winter tires with the guy from Consumer Reports, ryan, last half hour Ryan P, ryan P but now I thought we could either.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I'll make it driver's choice here.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: We can either one of two things.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: We could start off with the sold cars roundup, or we can do recalls.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: You want to do recalls?
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: First, be serious about it for a minute.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Sure, hyundai recalling 145,235.2 electrified vehicles in the US due to a loss of drive power IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 EVs, along with some luxury Genesis GV60, genesis GV70, and Genesis G80 electrified variants from model years 22 to 25.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: The US auto safety regulator said the integrated charging control units are likely to get damaged and stop charging the 12-volt battery, which can result in a loss of drive power.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, here we go.

• 6:14
  Speaker 1: In other words, it just quits.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Running short wiring harness may cause loss of drive power.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Now does that mean in length or does it mean there's a short in the wiring harness?
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: ah see, the way it's worded, I would think they're talking length I would too, but who's to say lucid air?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I know that there's a ton of listeners that have lucids.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Lucid air for 24 and 25, that's air conditioning in your house.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I think so lucid yeah.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Well, that would be heating at this time of the year.

• 7:06
  Speaker 1: No incorrect software in the transmission control module in the chevy and gmc express and savannah for 22 and 23, upper suspension arm may detach that could be an issue.
• 7:19

• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's 2014.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: That's what, 10 years old I mean, it's got to have.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: It should have a hundred thousand miles average plus on it and it's breaking now what do you expect?
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: So you take it over there to the land rover dealer and they go nah, it's all right yeah, we can't get parts for that because it's too old, too old uh, sunshade may operate unexpectedly, martha, what is that noise coming?

• 8:25
  Speaker 2: It may leak oil.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: It is a plug for your cup.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: I was thinking maybe if the airbag opened up the wrong way, it might keep you from getting there the last time.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I heard of a cup on a car.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I've never, actually.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: No, the last time I heard of a cup, if anything would be a cup that you had athletic support or kind of cup Right Cup holder.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: But it's not that because it's got an, I've never heard of a cup.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Anything would be a cup that you had athletic supporter, kind of cup Right, yeah, cup holder.

  Speaker 1: Let's do something fun.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: So Hemmmings puts out this thing.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Well it's.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: They put out the report once a week and you can go to hemmingscom and look under auctions and there's all sorts of auction cars on there and we think it's kind of fun to look at them.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Look at the cars and they usually most of them are fairly unique old hot rods, resto mods, whatever.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: So we put together a little list and Jeff and Mike decide what they think the car sold for.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: So here's one for you, and I picked this out particularly because one it's a convertible, and it's a great big convertible A 1969 Pontiac Parisienne.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Do you remember those?
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's a big one, the Parisienne.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I have not heard for one of those being for sale for decades.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: A Pontiac Parisienne convertible.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: It's red, it looks completely stock.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Red exterior, white interior, the top is down.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: It looks pristine.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: How much do you think something like that?
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I don't even think that would fit in the garage, do you no?
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: 27 oh no, I was gonna go like 17 mars wins 14 7 is what it went for.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, and I picked these out because what I my mind goes to the hot rod tour of texas oh yeah let me see it.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: It's right there the hot rod tour of texas.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: And boy, would that be cool in april to go on the hot rod tour.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Get your big cowboy hat and have kathy hold it on your head while you're going down the road.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she normally does anyways I think, I think more along the lines of one of those helmets that they get for people that you know run into walls and stuff.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Lines of one of those helmets that they get for people that run into walls and stuff.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I have one of those too.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to say You've seen those on.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: The football players have the soft helmet on them.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a blow-up.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: They have outside of the helmet Concussion yeah, here's one.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: This is kind of a rare car and if you can find them these days, I think that… the price has gone up.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: 1969 Hurst Oldsmobile that's built on the Cutlass platform.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: 69 Oldsmobile Hurst and I assume that this is an original with all of the numbers matching and all that sort of thing, and I believe that it's got HO on the hood scoop there.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: It should have.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: It would be a 455,.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: I think Dan, it's just a question.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: It's hard, I can't see it.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: I think that you could actually get a manual in that if you really special ordered it.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Well, it's pretty good looking.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: It's white and it's got red accent striping on it.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Red and the snorkel hood thing on it.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: I thought all the Hursts were gold.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: That's what I was thinking.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, white and gold.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm just telling you what I see.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I understand this is a 69 Oldsmobile Hurst.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: What do you think something like that would go for?
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say 60.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: I'm going to drop down to 32.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: 57, 750.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: So it's got something going for it.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Let me see this red combo package here.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: It's not red combo, it's white with red stripes.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: That just doesn't you sure that's red.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: What does it make?
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Those are gold.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Does it make any difference?
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Well, it does to me.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because that's the reason I dropped the price.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's gold.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because that's the reason I dropped the price.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's gold.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: It either jacks the price up or it kills the price.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Well, whatever the case may be, the picture isn't that clear okay.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: And I do make mistakes.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Lisa.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I still say 60.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: 1965 Ford Mustang and it's a fastback.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Two plus two.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Remember those two plus twos?
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Yep, Good-looking car.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: That was always my favorite when it comes to those first-generation Mustangs.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Does it look okay?
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: It looks great.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: It's got the light package on the front of it.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: It looks like custom wheels on it.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: It sits good Aftermarket.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Aftermarket wheels and it's red.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the color of the interior is Probably black, I would guess.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: But the 65 Ford Mustang 2 Plus 2 Fastback.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: What do you think that that would go for today?
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: It looks like a driver but it looks like it's been restored 28.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: 28.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: 21.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: 52.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: 5.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: You're right, it's got something going for it.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Well, anytime you say aftermarket wheels and stuff, it sounds like somebody kind of monkeyed with it.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but with the 2 plus 2.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those are like rally wheels.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys are way too picky about this stuff.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: You started it.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking about some of the prices I've seen going and that's way up there.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Here's a Mustang that I really liked when I drove it when it was brand new, and I still like it today.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: There's something attractive to me about this car.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: This is a 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Now the Bullitt has got, I think it's got a six-speed manual transmission in it, and I don't know about the engine.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I don't think nothing special about it, I don't think, but it's got the Bullet-looking gray wheels, mag wheels on it.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: It's green and it's slick.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: It doesn't have any.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: It is a Bullet.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: It doesn't list a number on it Because they're all numbered 2000,.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: No, it doesn't have any.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: It is a bullet.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: It doesn't list a number on it Because they're all numbered 2,000.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: No, it doesn't.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: 2,008.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Ford Mustang bullet.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know the miles.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know the condition of it, other than that's what it is.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: It looks clean.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Somebody washed it, put it in the grass and took a picture of it.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I have no idea.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: You want to guess?
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll go 28.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Mars 38.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: 27, 8, 25,.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Jeff, I'll take that one.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how about let's go in another direction?
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: A 1951 Chevrolet two-door Bel Air A 51.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: So it's round, round fenders, everything.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: My grandpa had a car like that, except it was a four-door the 51 chevy bel-air 36, 18, 10, 10 000.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: It probably has a straight six in it, yes, and it has three speed on the column, yes.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: And it smells like liniment.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Liniment, liniment, it's for your muscle.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I was thinking more along the lines of Preparation H.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Or what's the mothballs?
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the problem is there's not a lot of places you can drive that car.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Why you can't drive it 70 miles an hour down the freeway?
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: You get run over.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: No.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: It's got a three-speed manual transmission on the column.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: That car would go 60 easy any day.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: That'll just get you off the axis All right, fine 57 Ford Ranchero.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Ooh, I will tell you that it is very clean and it looks stock, although it's restored.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: This couldn't be an original, but it could be A 57 Ford Ranchero.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Wasn't that the first year for the Rancheros?
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Nope.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Automotive history.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: You have to wait.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: That's a nice teaser, it's a nice segue, but we're not going to do it, I'm going to go 12.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: , 16.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: , 31.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: , 5.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: , 31.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: 5.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: That's when you get into V8s.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: They're inline.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Are you a Mercury?
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: person.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Are you a Merc?
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Mercs are cool.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Merc, yeah.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: How about a 1946 Merc Lead?
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: How about a 1946 Merc Lead sleds?
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Well, this is not that it's got a stock body and it hasn't been lowered or anything.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: It's got some custom wheels on it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: It's got all of the chrome and there's a lot of it and actually it's a pretty clean-looking car.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: It doesn't do anything for me personally, but it's a two-door Black, looks like it's got a red interior.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: A 46 Merc 17.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking air suspension stuff 28.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's got air suspension, but this one here sold for 44.1.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's got some more stuff on it.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Now here's one that I don't think that you can come within $10,000 of your guess.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: That's my bet A 1964 Sunbeam Tiger.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Now I don't know about the 64s, but I know the Sunbeam Tigers later on had a V8 in them.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: At least there was an option later on.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: What do you think that the 64 Sunbeam Tiger went for?
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Come on 16.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: I'll go 18.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: How about $60,000?
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: What $60,375.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: That is pretty, it is yeah.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: But that's why I'm thinking that 3Z went for so much.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: That's going to be more like a Restomod.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah oh it's definitely a Restomod.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's under the hood, but whatever I know, look at that, don't touch it.

  Speaker 1: Don't care, you're talking about Formula One.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: A General Motors-backed bid to enter Formula One as an 11th team in 2026 is now looking more likely to succeed, after being previously rejected.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: According to multiple sources, liberty Media-owned Formula One ruled out the Andretti Global bid in January, doubting it would be competitive or add value, but kept a door open for 2028, when GM would be competitive or add value, but kept a door open for 2028, when GM would be able to provide an engine.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: The US House of Representatives Judiciary Committee launched an investigation into possible anti-competitive conduct.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Landscape has since changed, with Michael Andretti, a former Formula One racer and 1991 kart champion, as well as being son of 78 F1 champion Mario Andretti, announcing in September he was taking a step back from his day-to-day operational role at Andretti Global.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Andretti, who remains an advisor and is still involved in the F1 project, has handed over key operations to business partner Dan Towers, who has been in the Las Vegas panic ahead of this weekend's Grand Prix, the third of the United States this year.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Liberty Media is also going through change, with longtime chief executive Greg Maffei Stepping down at the end of the year.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: The teams are sounding more open, providing there is a clear benefit to the sport.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: I want to chime in on that.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: That's a bunch of hogwash, because the whole time General Motors was on board with Andretti for building an engine, they went to Alpine Engine Builders and Alpine said, yeah, we'll do that, and then they kind of backed out because of Liberty, said, yeah, kind of we'll do that, and then they kind of backed out because of liberty.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Liberty uh, one of the executives of liberty is the wife of uh dang.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I can't forget the of mercedes, the uh big management guy, mercedes, who is a loser because their past couple years they haven't won any races.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: How do you really feel?
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: I'm upset that it hasn't gone through already.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: I love the Andretti family, the team and all that stuff.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Well, it's going to be a GM.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: General.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Motors.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: You need to get it out.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: That's hogwash.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Does it make you feel better A little bit?
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of like therapy, isn't it?
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: It really is, so subscribe to our therapy channel.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: But I just think there's more to it than somebody wrote that in a way they wanted to spin it in a positive way, but I think, dang, I can't remember the guy's name now.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Are you saying it?
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: It don't make no difference?
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: No, it does, it don't.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Anyways, I got to read this story.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: You're going to find this interesting, I think.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Robert McClain, former director of parts and service at Formula Nissan in is it Beret, vermont, or Berry, vermont, bear, vermont, whatever someplace in Vermont, is awaiting sentencing next month after pleading guilty to mail fraud for selling parts in a scheme that cost the dealership at least $575,000.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Mclean started working at Formula Nissan in 2019, where he managed the department, supervised employees and oversaw ordering, receipt and payment of automotive parts for the dealership.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: This story from Automotive News.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Between January 2021 and September 2022, mclean ordered vehicle parts from Nissan North America, including lift kits that cost between $2,300 and $2,900 each, according to the US Attorney's Office.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: The invoices for these parts were sent to Formula Nissan, which paid the bills.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Mclean did not use the store's dealership management software for these parts orders, ensuring the lift kits were not recorded in Formula Nissan's inventory of parts on hand.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: He then advertised the lift kits for sale on Facebook at prices below Formula Nissan's wholesale cost.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Mclean sold more than 200 lift kits, receiving payments through his personal PayPal account.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: He also used Formula Nissan's FedEx account to ship the kits to customers across the US.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: This according to an information filing.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Mclean falsely claimed to customers on Facebook that he could offer significant discounts because Formula Nissan had acquired the kits at dealership prices.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Mclean, in June, signed a guilty plea in federal court in Burlington, vermont.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: He faces up to 20 years in prison Wow and a fine or double the amount the dealership lost due to the scheme.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Whichever is greater.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Mclean's sentencing is set for December 12th.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Oops, can I interject one more thing on this Formula One?
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Oh God, here we go.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Toto Wolfe is the man's name and his wife's name is Susie Wolfe, and she's part of Toto.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: Toto Like the dog Right?
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, mongrel, but his wife, susie Wolfe, is part of the executive branch of Liberty Media, so there's kind of a hush-hush talk back and forth.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: He is worth $1.6 billion and he says that they're not making money off of F1.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Somebody is, and it's him.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I saw that race this weekend in Las Vegas.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Last year a billion dollars it brought into Las Vegas.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Well, and it took them forever to do it.
