• 2:07
  Speaker 2: whether you've driven one of these, tom you know they're they're.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Powerful, Yes, especially the I Force Max. UH, the engine,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the the hybrid, it's a dual turbocharged hybrid engine. Really
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: great low end torque, excellent power spectrum, good fuel economy,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: really a great engine and UH and and reforms well,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: have a great repute time a lifetime in these things
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: that last a lifetime. Yeah, and we do have a
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: great selection right now. I was looking before we came
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: out and we've got a total of fifty six toyotas
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: either on the ground or in the pipeline right now,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: which is the most fantastic. We've got eleven four wheel
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: drive tacomas to choose from. We've got you mentioned the Tundras,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: six hundreds, a couple of Benzas, three Cienas, a couple
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: of Saqua nine rav fours well and on Preus Prime
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: PRIs Land Cruiser, g R eighty six, Highlander and Grand Highlander.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: So a Prius Prime that that is interesting. We've we've
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: had a lot of inquiries over the years for those.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Those are plug in hybrids. You get about what fifty
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: miles on all electric mode and then it switches over
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: to hybrid mode, so you kind of get the best
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: of both worlds. We have great deals on those tacomas
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: right now, Brad. I've noticed that you've been really aggressively
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: pricing those, yes, and we also have some great rates
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: on them five second every month, right aggressively priced right now.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I have noticed that shares plant. We definitely want to
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: make it simple, keep the you know, we do the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: hard work for you. I look at market pricing every day.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: First thing I do every morning, go in and reprice
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the cars and make sure everything's up to date. We
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: can see what we know, of course, what we've been
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: selling things for and what we're hearing from our customers.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: It's we have the tool that will go out on
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the internet and I can see pretty much everybody has
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: everything priced and there's a lot of great data these
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: days about transaction prices, and so it's easy to really
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: put that price where it needs to be to make
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: it so that you know, we can afford to sell
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: it and you get a great deal, and then it's
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: a lot every We want to make that a win
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: win for everybody and keep it simple and fast. And
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you know, I hear from people all the time about
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: how it's just a different environment when you come into Dundris.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: A friend a friend told me that yesterday very much.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: So you know, it's just a family environment. There's not
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of pressure from the sales team. They definitely
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: just want to help you and take care of it.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Their incentive is really to be a professional who helps
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: you find a car, and not.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Some non commissioned sales associates and management. They really don't
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: you know, they're paid, isn't driven by the profit they make,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: so on your car. So I think that's a really great,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: great thing about shopping at Dungeons. But enough of that,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: we've I want to talk about Jeremy. And Jeremy is
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: a veteran, so thank you for your service. Jeremy, and
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you're in the Marine Corps, and and you grew up
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: in Michigan. I know, and I've been here and around
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: here for a few years now, and we met earlier
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: this year when you were working with Operation Rubicon and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: doing some volunteer work to help other veterans around here.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: And anyway, tell us your story and what you're dreaming
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: of now with this Operation Appalachian Relief.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, I guess i'd better start over at the
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: beginning then, Like you said, growing up, and I grew
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: up in the factories. My families worked in the factories.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: I left and I went to the Marine Corps. I
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: spent eight years in the Marine Corps, and when I
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: was getting out, I had no desire to return to
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: those factories. So I ended up coming down here with
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: my family and help my father build his house in Kopan.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: And after moving down here, realized this is a great environment,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: a great place to raise children, good morals, not that
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: much crime compared to other parts of the country. So
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: we ended up staying here and as of this year,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: i've been here for twenty years. When I got out
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: of the Marine Corps, though, I moved out here, and
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: it's hard for veterans, especially marines, to be able to
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: transition back to civilian life. There's a strong connection with
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: other veterans there, and so moving out here, it's very
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: rural and there's very few marines around here, so the
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: connections really were not there. Then in about twenty eighteen,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: I went through a rough time in my life and
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: at the same time, I didn't have any responsibilities or
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: anything else like that, and I got into a rough
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: patch where I had to figure things out. And what
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: I realized is I no longer had purpose in life.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: We all need purpose. I truly believe that's why when
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: people retire, they pass away soon after, because they don't
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: have any more purpose when you're used to going. So
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: at the same time, a friend of mine had shared
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: something about Team Rubicon, and I thought to myself, what
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: is this Team Rubicon? Her the name? So I went
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: and did some research and what Team Rubicon does is
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: they respond natural disasters. We also do veteran projects such
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: as building rams or anything else. When you leave service,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: you leave something behind, you leave a part of you behind,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: because ultimately you've been brainwashed to be in that spot
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: in life. So I gave Team Rubicon a chance, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: what I found out is this is exactly what I've
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: been missing, what I've needed.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I get out.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: There and I start talking with other veterans and realize
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: they're there for the exact same reason in.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: That community that you needed, Yes, sir, the purpose, Yes, sir.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: I think ultimately anybody out there volunteering for any organization
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: is ultimately there for themselves. Okay, they they're they're because
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: they're missing something in life. But then once you realize
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: that you're not just helping yourself, you're helping the veteran
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: next to you, and together as a team, you're helping
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: these homeowners.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the same thing in our business. Really, you know,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the Sparks thing. We've talked about sparks and it's sincere
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: partnerships align resilient guys in superheroes, and I don't know
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: if we've dimit. I said the whole thing to you
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: like that, but you know, I'm hearing that in what
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: you're saying there, because that's our business has those values.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: We want people to to look at it the same way.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: We're a community. We're there to serve our customers and
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the community as a whole and help people like you.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: You know, that's how our paths crossed. Is just trying
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: to help you with your inspiration, and you know it's
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: a it's really a great inspiration you have.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: So anyway, go back back to your story you're ruying.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: So the.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: I guess I can call it satisfaction, the satisfaction of
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: being able to help somebody after they've given up hope
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: that nobody's coming to help, and then giving them a
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: hug they break down in your arms. You feel their pain,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: you feel their story, and you feel the gratitude coming
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: from them. So this spring, I jumped all around Oklahoma
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: hear responding to all the tornado outbreaks that we had unfortunately,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: and I figured I would be going out to the
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: southeast United States with Team rub On. But once I
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: started hearing what's really happening out there, and the magnitude
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: of the area that's been affected is the entire Southeastern seaboard,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: there's not enough organizations in this country to help all
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: these people out there.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Well, it's over fifty billion dollars in damages, I understand.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: That's just incredible.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, And I have friends out there in Tennessee
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: who I've spoke to, and there's a lot of people
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: that are unaccounted for. Still they're not talking about it,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: but there is a lot of people unaccounted for.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: We obviously need to get things cleaned up and back
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: and restored, and you know, an infrastructure, right so people
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: can go back to some kind of life.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, yes, or and the people there on the
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: ground now, they're locals. They're locals help and their neighbors,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: their church groups, and their wore out their beat, and
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: nobody's coming to replace them. Nobody else is coming to
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: help now. So I started talking with a couple other
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Marines and we have decided to form our own little group.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: We're going to go out there for at least two weeks,
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: hopefully the whole month of November and to help out
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: as many people as we can. You.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I met you back.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: In January or February when I was getting min all changed,
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: and we just started talking and we formed a relationship there,
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: and we got to talking about doing some veteran projects
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: together here in bartelstill helping some veterans with ramps or
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: you know, painting their house, anything that they might need.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: So this group of.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Marines I have going down there with me, we're all
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: volunteering our own time. We're doing work at no cost
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: to the homeowners. We're supplying all of our own gear,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: and we are funding ourselves.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Congratulations, that's awesome. And you know earlier this week, just
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: a few days ago, you approached me with that and
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: just asked for a pretty simple little gift of a chainsaw.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Well, well, I don't know how simple and easy it was,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: but I sure appreciate it.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, well, I'm glad to be able to help you,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: really proud to I appreciate you.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: You have donated a brand new chainsaw to our effort,
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: and that is going to do wonders. It would be
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: horrible to be stuck up in the mountains with a
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: chainsaw that went down and no backup. So your generous
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: contribution to are is going to go a long way
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: as and we thank.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: You so much. It just seems so small and with
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: all the need.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: And Jeremy, what are you what are you calling your project?
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: So came up with the name of Operation Appllation Relief,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: figured that that would be a fitting name as that's
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: what we're doing. We're going to be out there in
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: the appllation.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: It's going to be cold.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: It's November. Most of the organizations and volunteers are going
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: to Florida where it's nice and.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Warms do their volunteer work.
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Yes, So we've decided to go in there and help
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: these people and see what we need it down And.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: You guys are not only marines and have a chainsaw,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: but you are experienced with you know, all kinds of
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: construction work and mechanical work, and and I can really
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: be helpful. I think and and get and when you
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: get down there and tell them a little bit about
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: your do you have a plan or where you're going
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: to go first, and the logistics of this.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: So my initial destination is Greenville, Tennessee. I've got a
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: contact there. I'm heading out about four or five days
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: before everybody else is, and I'm going to go down there.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: And there's a couple groups of veterans already working in
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: the area. I've gotten their contact information. So we're going
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: to be contacting them. And yet, like you said, we're
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: not just doing chainsaw work. What our capabilities are is, yes,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: the chainsaw work, but we also have carpentry construction knowledge.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: We know how to run heavy equipment machines. We can, Oh,
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: there's a couple of us there medical trained. I wasn EMT,
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: so I've got that training. But we will be doing
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: chainsaw work. We can turp or board up windows or roofs,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: help with any type of small repairs that they might need,
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: removing items.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Out of the house.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of flooding, so not only removing the items,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: but also the sheet rock that had gotten wet in
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: the insulation. And there's been a big need I've seen
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: for fence repair. On farms, there's a lot of farm
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: animals that are running moves, so I would think so
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: people are asking for assistance with that.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: But we're very flexible.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: We can hopefully do anything and everything that the homeowner
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: needs help with.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Great, this is such a good thing. Yeah, it's a
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: great story and really inspiring to me and I'm sure
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: to the listeners out there, and you know, it reminds
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: me of the story of the donmic Clannet story about
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Fellowship of Christian Athletes that my grandfather Don was the
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: founder of Fellowship Christian Athletes. He was from our part
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: of the country here and was driving through Bartlesville in
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: the thirties or no, it was later. It was later
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: than that. It was it was in the fifties when
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: he founded it. So I got to get my story right.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: The facts are important, right the but they in the
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: fifties and he his car broke down, and he met
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: my grandfather, you know, like you did in the service department,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: like we met in the service department, heard his story,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: and they just stayed in touch. And my grandfather had
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: a contact with Brand Tricky and and he got down
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: and branched together and they they and that because it
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: really took Brand Tricky and a few of the other
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: really prominent people to help get this thing off the ground.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: And uh, anyway, it was it was just one of
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: those things we didn't He didn't my grandfather didn't do
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: all that much, but he helped Don get his car
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: back on the road so he could keep spreading the
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: word about his vision of which was really, you know, special.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: It was a personal inspiration of his, uh to bring uh,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: you know, the he saw that sports athletes were promoting
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: things like soap and beer and that they weren't promoting, uh,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: you know, the principles of Christianity and and you know
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: the important part of the morals and how our culture
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: is kept together, whatever religion you are, and you know that.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Really it's also a great example of how you know,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Dungeons as a local business is able to do things
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: you as a local businessman, are able to make decisions.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: To have direct impact on the community.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Well, that's one of the most enjoyable parts of what
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: we do in a small business and in a car dealership.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I really do love being a part of it in
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: place like Bartlesville too, as you mentioned, with the great
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: people and not just Bartlesville. I mean you're from Cannie
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: and this whole air is so rich and it's people
• 18:52

• 20:18
  Speaker 2: the car things.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.

  Speaker 2: director of maintenance. By one really expensive tire and get
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: three free. She flipped it around and right now we've

  Speaker 2: None of them are expensive. It's it's a great deal.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: So you know, if you're driving around on nubby tires.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: We're getting into that season where hopefully we get some
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: precipitation and you can.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: Help if and when it happens. You want to make
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: sure that you're making good contact with the road.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Of course, things like batteries, breaks, all this stuff is
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: so important this time of year, and as we changed,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: the season start to change and the temperature strop. I
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: had to work on the battery on one of my
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: vehicles this last week and it definitely, uh, you know,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: you want to have that checked. Have some of your
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: career running these. I almost drove it, actually it was
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: it was before the show last week. I got in
• 21:31

• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the Catherine Heaven. It's doing great. It's doing great. We've gone.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: It's it's those who don't know. It's a nineteen eighty
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: eight mer Core x R four t I with just
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: just about twenty five thousand miles not it hadn't been
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: driven too much. It's a car I had back in
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: the eighties, so it's kind of like it's interesting to
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: me it's a rare car. It was a Fords that
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: were made in Germany and then imported and they only
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: did it for a few years. Had two models and
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: the Yeah, one of them, I have one of them,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: a classic. It's a classic. Yeah, id out of that.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Boys and girls come. I'm like, what, that's not possible.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Whatever I did. I was driving that when I met Kimberly,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: my wife, and you know, so it has it's an
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not the same car. This one was
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: one that was actually owned by a great Bartlesville man,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Pete Silas up the car and it was he he
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: drove it in the in the nineties and uh for
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: a long time and and then it parked it under
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: at his house and then it sat there and sat
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: there and sat there and all there went out the
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: tires and the fuel congealed in the gas tank. And
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: he came into my office one day and said, if
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: you can get that out of my driveway, I'll give
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: it to you. Price is right. So we've been the
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: hand caring for it and levin on it since then.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: And uh, and yeah, it's a it's a it's quite
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: a story. And yeah, we we have moved all the
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: old Ford Automobiles over to the Toyota dealership. And last
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: week after we Bill Night Automotive took over the Ford
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Dealership and new Neighbors. Bill Night forward New Neighbors and
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: that's going really well. And we've been very, very active
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: at Toyota and have great selection as I mentioned before,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: new vehicles of all all the models, and and great
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: used cars of all all prices, ranges and types of vehicles.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: Well, speaking of used cars, we're looking.

  Speaker 1: For always looking to purchase those great Battlesmo cars.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: They wetend love to buy a lot of the cars.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: So if you have a vehicle that you're not using,
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: whether it's a recour or.
• 23:49

  Speaker 2: give us a call at nine three three hundred or
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: come down to Dungeons Toyota and talk to Brother Bruce.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, versus the buyer most of the time. And but
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm not kidding about the value of you
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: local cars. I mean they are Bartlesville cars are among
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: the best. I think. They don't we don't get a
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: lot of rest and stuff like they do. Jeremy came
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: from we have you know, you tend not to. I mean,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: if you do put miles on your car, they're they're
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: like highwayway miles. And if you and they're they're not
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: so stressful in the car. And but most people frankly
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: don't put that many miles on, you know, or so
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: they tend to be low mileage, locally maintained. You kind
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: of love don cars and and that's what makes a
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: great use car. So if you've got one of those,
• 24:44

• 25:17
  Speaker 1: really great. And you know that's not that they've never
