- 14:32Speaker 2: Author Khaled Hosseini is best known for his coming of
- 14:37Speaker 2: age story about a young Afghan boy named what a mirror?
- 14:45Speaker 1: Question two. Avians known as raptors are also characterized by

- 15:21Speaker 1: best selling novel by Hosseini A type of bird of
- 15:26Speaker 1: prey and famously flown by Ben Franklin, It's kite kite
- 15:34Speaker 1: fighting is what they do.
- 15:35Speaker 2: Any I have not seen kite fighting, and now I
- 15:41Speaker 2: feel like I must.
- 15:45Speaker 1: So just a description from the wiki. Traditionally, most are small, unstable,
- 15:52Speaker 1: single line flat kites, where line tension alone is used
- 15:56Speaker 1: for control, at least part of which is manga, typically
- 16:01Speaker 1: glass coated cotton strands to cut down the line of others. Historically,
- 16:07Speaker 1: for most Asian type fighters, a thin cotton or hemp
- 16:10Speaker 1: line is coated with a mixture of finely crushed glass
- 16:13Speaker 1: and rice glue, and competition rules vary by region. Two
- 16:19Speaker 1: or more contestants fly their kites. The person who cuts
- 16:23Speaker 1: the opponent's line wins the fight. In multiple kite matches,
- 16:27Speaker 1: the person with the last kite in the air is
- 16:30Speaker 1: the winner. And it's a big deal. It's in quite
- 16:33Speaker 1: a few countries, not just those. But I think the
- 16:35Speaker 1: Red Bull one has been going since I want to
- 16:38Speaker 1: say twenty fifteen, and I think they hold it in India,
- 16:42Speaker 1: but it's big in Thailand. They do it in Afghanistan
- 16:45Speaker 1: obviously with the kite runner from Hoseani.
- 16:49Speaker 2: Not to turn this into a Red Bull ad, but
- 16:52Speaker 2: it seems like Red Bull does really fun sponsorships for
- 16:55Speaker 2: sports stuff, Like it's always wild, wild entertaining, you know.
- 17:01Speaker 2: So I'm like, I'll watch the Red Bull kite fighting.
- 17:06Speaker 1: They do that flugtag I think is what it's called,
- 17:10Speaker 1: where they they have kind of like a soapbox racer,
- 17:13Speaker 1: but it's it's it's supposed to have wings and then
- 17:15Speaker 1: they drive it off into a lake, a lake or
- 17:18Speaker 1: something and they see how far they can glide, and
- 17:21Speaker 1: it's usually just someone getting yeaded out of the seat.
- 17:24Speaker 1: Every thing crashes right behind.
- 17:25Speaker 2: Them, and it's never good. You never see someone doing
- 17:29Speaker 2: a really good job.
- 17:30Speaker 1: Are there no engineering streets or are we just seeing
- 17:34Speaker 1: the bad ones?
- 17:35Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. Maybe there are some ones that like
- 17:38Speaker 2: they've across the entire lake.
- 17:40Speaker 1: I've seen one that instead of trying to like fly,
- 17:44Speaker 1: it glides. Yeah, and it goes like almost across the lake. Yeah,
- 17:50Speaker 1: it's if you design it right, that's what you do.
- 17:54Speaker 1: You just glide it across. That's how you do it.
- 17:56Speaker 1: I would think. Yeah, they do some fun stuff with
- 17:58Speaker 1: the old Red Bull.
- 18:00Speaker 2: A lot of people feel like they don't have energy,
- 18:03Speaker 2: so they have a pretty large market to choose from.
