  Speaker 2: Really it was.

  Speaker 3: It was really neat to hear some of the stories

• 2:24
  Speaker 2: You to be alone or left out not having a
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Christmas Day.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, this is that another sign of the great generosity
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: of our community. How how wonderful Barblesville is. And you
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: know they have we have such a great lattice work
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: of support for every everybody in town and all any
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: need you have.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Pretty much there's somebody there to help you. Yeah.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: This Bartleville is just such a wonderful community. I've loved
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: living here. Yeah, it was. It's a magical place. It
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: definitely is.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: George, you got a mark. There's pretty big. People can't
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: miss it. If we've never been to the church, go
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: to the water tanks.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Right exactly, That's exactly it, you know, on the water tanks.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you can always find where the Adams Full of
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: our Church of Christ is if you can't figure out
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: where the water tanks are.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: No, no hot, warm and cold boats. It's right there, exactly.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: There's a sign in front also, Yeah, there is a
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: pretty good size sign. And then you mentioned twenty one
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: years this has been going on. Obviously this doesn't just
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: happen spontaneously.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: If you're doing cooking all that food and making arrangements
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: to deliver food and pick people up and all that,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: it takes probably hundreds of people, maybe, I guess.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: We total the day of the event, we have probably
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: one hundred volunteers and show up and all with smiles
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: on their faces.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: They just love to do it.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: And I'll get calls all the time and the people
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: saying can I help, Can I help?
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: And they show up and are there. And by the.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Way, our guests come in, they're seated. It's not a buffet.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: They're seated. The meal is served on real china, awesome,
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: and our volunteers, the guests will fill out them innu
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: and a volunteer will go get the food for them,
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: actually get what you want, yeah, and then serve the
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: meal to them. And so it's a real nice bent
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: and we're fortunate, like I say, Adams Boulevard Church to
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Christ allows us to use their facility and they have
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: a nice gymnasium set up, twenty seven tables, lots of
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: room and lots of desserts.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, we can't leave that out.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: That's something.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: And we have turkey and ham, green beans, corn dressing
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: and gravy, all the fixing, full spread. And in fact
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: I was there yesterday at the church and Rita Beavers,
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: who are and her crew that does the cooking. They
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: were preparing the turkeys already starting I'd taken the turkeys
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: there the other day.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: How many turkeys does it take?
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: Thirty thirty thirty thirty turkeys and twenty hams. And I'd
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: taken the turkeys to get them started falling, and took
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: them earlier in the week to start getting thawed out
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: and get all the other materials, items and every thing
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: to the church. So they start getting the you know items,
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: they're ready to start the cooking.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: And it is Christmas Day, so and eleven thirty to
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: two thirty, that's correct. So I just if you haven't
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: got plans or don't have a place to go, or
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: know somebody who might not be sure that they know
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: about this, and how do they if they need support
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: like a ride or or can't get out of their
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: home for whatever reason, how.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: Do they get nine one eight nine one four one.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: One five two.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: Okay, that's nine one eight nine one four one one
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: five two.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: And probably best to do that as soon as you can,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: that's correct. Yeah, just so they can call any time.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: If someone will land to that phone or they don't answer,
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: just leave a voicemail and it'll be taken care of.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Is there any other arrangement that's needed? Do you need
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: to call ahead if you're planning to come, or you
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: just show up.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Just show up awesome, don't have to don't have to
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: make any any RSVP, just show up because we're planning to,
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: like say, down through the years we have served in
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: the neighborhood, eight hundred to nine hundred meals. That's all
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: I know that's going to happen. So that's what we're
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: planning for. And we also whatever we have left over
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: we take, we're planning to take to Washington County Jail
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: and to we don't take it, they come pick it up,
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: a Huska.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Jail and no Water jail.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: So we've made arrangements to those three facilities.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Now there's probably a little bit of foods left. Sure, yeah, yeah,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: we we cover all that. We plan ahead.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: No, I bet you have it down after twenty one years.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: It's a it's such a great, like I said, a
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: great example of the generosity of our community. And thank
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: you to you and all the volunteers and Rita and
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: her cooking crew and everybody that's that's doing.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: That'd like to say.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: It takes an army and adams full of our Church
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: of Christ.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Everyone involved.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: That's great, you know, we we're doing our fifty seventh
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: anniversary event at the dealership this month for our to
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: the Toyota store has been in Bartlesville since nineteen sixty
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: eight and really proud to continue our legacy of giving
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: at the dealership. So everyone who purchases a vehicle this
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: year gets to or this month gets to select a
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: nonprofit in the organization in the community to support and
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: we'll make a donation in their name. And at the
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: end of the month, we're going to tally up who
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: got the most selections and that organization will get a
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: minimum of twenty five dollars from Dungeus Toyota and it
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: will be matched by Toyota. So we're really proud of
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: doing that again. And you could even choose friends indeed
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: as your selection. That would be a great thing to do.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: We've I talied up talied up and our current leader
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: is one of our previous winners, Hopestone is in the lead.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: We've had a lot of activity this month. I think
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: it does encourage people to get.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Out and we've been very busy this pre Christmas.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: As we get into that period after Christmas, it technically
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: gets really active in the car business as we do
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: our year end event Sport Toyota Than is also going
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: on nationwide with great incentives on our toyotas. Uh We've
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: got one of our probably our best selection and inventory
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: of vehicles of the year. We've got a great inventory
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: on the ground, great incentives. They just announced a new
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: bonus cash on Tundra of additional.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Five hundred dollars and plus all the other.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Incentives, and there's a low interest rate on Tundra. We've
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: got low interest rate on several of the models. Great
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: lease deals on toyotas. You know, with the budget conscious
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: environment we're in right now, theasing's you know, something that
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: people are considering more. It's a little it's not that
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: common in our In Oklahoma, we don't only lease about
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: usually between you know, three or three to five, maybe
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: ten percent of the vehicles in the state or leased.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Some markets around the country, though leasing is dominates.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I think in.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Particularly near where the manufacturers are a lot of people
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: are used to this program and can buy through the
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: manufacturer programs lease their vehicles.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I had a friend who was a dealer.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: In Buffalo, New York, and he leased about seventy eighty
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: percent of his vehicles, but Toyota's leased extremely well because
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: of their high resale value. They maintain what they call
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: the residual of on the vehicle, so they don't appreciate
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: as fast as other brands typically you can, so that
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: can save you up front on their monthly cost, gives
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: you a lot of choice in how you You know,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: once your lease is done, you never end up in
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: a position where you don't have equity they call it
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: in the vehicle, where your vehicle isn't worth as much
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: as you owe. So if you do it on structure,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: you a lease right, you get the right the payment.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: The payment you get, you go ahead and estimate the
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: miles you're going to drive in.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: The term of the lease.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: At the end of the lease, you have a choice
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: then of either you can either purchase the vehicle for
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: the remaining value, or you can turn it back to
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: the manufacturer.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: A lot of times we're going to want it.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: We might offer you even more than the manufacturer for
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: the vehicle, to be honest, because I really do retain
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: their value really well, and they're great inventory for us
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: on the used vehicle side, and you know a lot
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: of people do like to change.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Vehicles every few years. It's not. You can do it.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: You know, it can be structured on very low.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Miles or very higher miles, so it really can be
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: made to fit just about any situation. And our team
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: can help exploit help you understand that, or really you
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: can go on our website and do a lot of
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: the pre planning and understand what I'm talking about. On
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: our great tool on the website, you can get pick
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: out your vehicle, estimate your your credit, and then it'll
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: give you a retail payment if you're financing, and you
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: can then click a tab and it'll show you the
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: least payment. You can structure that yourself, however you want,
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: play with the cash upfront or down payment that you
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: want to make, and it's really easy to compare what
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: a lease would save you on a month to month basis,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: and and if you need help with that, our team
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: uses that same tool on the showroom when you're in
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: there shopping for a vehicle, so it's all consistent with
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: our simple price and no no hidden fees, no added
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: stuff on the vehicles.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: We don't typically.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Do that none ever, really, and you know that's a
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: big thing in today's world. A lot of people you
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: may not you may find out when you get there
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: it's not what was presented, and that's we just don't
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: play those games. We're very try to be real, consistent
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: and transparent can make the vehicle purchase process as easy
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: as it can be and as fast for you as
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: possible too. One of the things this tool does is
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: allow us to really speed things up, answer your questions quicker,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: and make it make it a great purchase experience. That's
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: our goal or our team is noncommissioned, so what you know,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: if we it's not they're not trying to make more
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: money on you to make more money for themselves. They're
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: motivated to provide you great service. They're rewarded for high
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: CSI and and uh you know, for taking care of
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: doing a good job, being professionals at what they do.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: It allows them really to be more of an advisor
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: and a and you know, a consultant in the process
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: rather than trying to get you to buy something, so
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: the pressure kind of goes away and and allows us
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: to really.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Help help you.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: That's that's our been our focus through all the way
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: back to when my grandfather was in town taking.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Care of people and started in Bartlesville nineteen forty one,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: so really proud of doing that and it's.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: It's just great to be able to continue to do that,
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Like I said, fifty seven years with the Yoda now
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: and proud to have knights On William out there with us.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Or we're moving on.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Into the fourth generation, which is pretty unique and in retail.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: You know, I've talked a lot this year about the
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: changes in the business and we've got you know, we're
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: real proud to be a single point, family owned business
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: that just serves our community. That's not We're not a big,
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: you know, big business and lots of places.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: You know, that's just not what that's not why the
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: gar business started.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: If you think back to when my grandfather moved to town,
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: it was you know, it was pretty simple.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: And you know, I like that.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: I like the idea of knowing the people that come
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: in and buy the cars, of knowing my employees. I
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: love having my office on the showroom and being able
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: to hear what's going on and kind of go out
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: and be involved in it. And you know, that's part
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: of the kind of business we are as a truly family.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Owned Oklahoma family owned and operated very good have.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Those values of our community and that's why we support
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: things like Friends Indeed and your great program. And again
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: let's focus on that free Christmas Day dinner.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: If you just joined the show on.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Christmas Day, Friends Indeed for twenty one years now, that's
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: just amazing.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: What was the genesis of this? How did it get started?
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: There were three people that really that I was not
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: one of them, that's all right. They sat around and said,
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: you know, we don't want anyone to be home alone
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: for Christmas, and they just thought of the idea and
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: they kind of started small. The original dinner they started
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: and they had the old American Legion Building when there
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: was an American Legion building. They had it there for
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: verse three years and that's when I got involved with
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: the third year. That year, it was kind of humorous
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: because they had all these roasters. You know, people would
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: bring their roasters and tried to cook the food. They
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: were blowing circuit break. It was everything running out of food.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: They had to run and buy hot dogs because they
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: were running out of food. And so that was when
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: they decided, we have to find another place.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: And that's obvious. Yeah, So that's when Adams full of arm. Okay,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: so they've been involved for almost twenty years.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and they stepped up, and that's if that kind
• 18:08

  Speaker 3: twenty twenty six RAB four is about to hit the
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: ground early next year.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: It's going to be waiting for that.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we've had people wanting, We've had people coming and
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: going to see it and get information on it for
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: a long time, and now there's starting to get more
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: out there. The different trim levels and things that Toyota
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: has done creating really inspiring vehicle. You know, to wrap
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: four has been last year was the best selling vehicle
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: in America, and it's been one of to our best
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: selling Toyota for a long time. But it took the
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: crown from f one fifty, which is really amazing when
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: you think about that. But the one fifty had been
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: the number one vehicle for over forty years, so congratulations
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: to Toyota on that and with a brand new one
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: over thirty years of history of the RAP four, this
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: is probably going to be our best one yet. Lots
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: of upgrades, lots of new technology. It's going to have
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: the latest stuff from Toyota. You know, I think you know,
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: just working with our customers and our sales team, you know,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: there's so much neat stuff in the new cars.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Safety stuff. The different power.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Trains give you better fuel economy, but that the safety
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: stuff is just continues to get better and better and
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: provide people that you know that that sense of you know,
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: I'm good on the road with I mean roads, highways
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: and driving is it can be dangerous and you know
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: you want to make sure you've got the best technology
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: in the world. Is the use cards are really designed
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: to help you drive Toileta's approach to that is really
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: about making the driving experience better for the driver and
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: helping you be a better, a safer driver.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: But they have all.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: Kinds of stuff from collision warning technology can help you
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: warn you if somebody stops real fast in front of you,
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: the lane keeping stuff that you know I've driven on
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: lots of different brands and different vehicles. And you know,
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: at first it was kind of clunky, how it kind
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: of shook the steering wheel and made you it was
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: it was surprised, but now it's not as intrusive. But
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: it really does help you stay.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: In your lane. And and you know.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: I think it's it's just outstanding technology. And feel free
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: to come in and ask questions about that, go for
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: a test drive. There's no pressure I mentioned at Dunge,
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: just Toyota.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: We'll help you with that.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: We continue to get a lot more interest in our
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: hybrid technology. Hybrids are some people are still pretty traditional
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: in our part of the world, and with the oil
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: and gas business as strong as it is here, they
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: all they want, they think they want a gas engine.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: But you know the great thing about hybrid is you
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: have both the gas engine and the battery system.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Let's ally It has been building hybrid vehicles.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Since the late nineteen nineties, and you know, these batteries
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: are are extremely reliable. Toyta has a very long warranty
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: on those vehicles, on those badies, much longer than the
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: engine itself. And and they do that because they know
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: they haven't They just know how it's going to operate.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: The hybrid system. You can buy plug in hybrids, but
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: the base hybrid system doesn't need any charging. It's it
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: just exists with your gasoline engine in the vehicle.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: It gives you great power.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Actually a lot of times, you know, the original Prius
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: was dialed in just for economy and fuel fuel savings. Today,
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, the electric engine can kind of bring that
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: power to the road really fast, and so it can
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: perform well and save you on fuel economy.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: It's great technology and I'd encourage everybody to explore it.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: The new Wrap four will have will be all hybrid
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: and plug in hybrid, so you're going to have both
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: both selections.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: We are selling a few more plug in hybrids these days.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: And battery electric vehicles. You know, there's a brand.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: New BZ it's what Toyota calls it, which is the
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: battery electric vehicle. We delivered our second one of those yesterday,
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: of the brand new model, and it's it's got a
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: great range, almost three hundred miles on its charge, which
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: is pretty good and you know for driving around here,
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: that's that's kind of all you need. So Toyota has
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: this great, you know plan they've stuck with through all
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: the changes in the last few years of building all
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: the power trains. One neat thing on the new Corolla,
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: which will be out later next year. I believe it's
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: they're going to have all four power trains, so it'll
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: have gasoline, the hybrid, the plug.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: In hybrid, and the battery electric vehicle. Will be the
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: first time in the car industry that you can get
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: all four power trains on one vehicle. Well, and what's
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: neat is it's Corolla. It's not it's not the high
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: end vehicle, but.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: It's got everything you need. It's the best car. I
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: still I love a lot of people do well. We've
• 28:14
