Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Not too long ago, Alex and I bought this piece
of property way out in the middle of nowhere, right,
And Alex says, you know what should do. Let's buy
some ATVs and go out there and just drive like crazy.
Main Am, no, no, because you'll it sounds fun, but
he'll I know it's gonna get crazy. He's gonna roll
it over and he's gonna break his legs. And I know,
is Alex on the phone, Yes, there is, so, Alex.
(00:28):
So I got through that at V thing you had, right, yea,
that that moment in your life where you had to
have one. We got alive through that and we didn't
have to get one. I'm excited. Yeah, So can I
tell them what you sent me today?
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yeah? So my birthday's coming up next month. I'm ready.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Okay. It's the first affordable ev t o L on
the market, which is a it's a single person flight
car basically is what it is. Okay, it's called it's
called the Jetson one. And I love this and Alex
is like, my birthday's coming up, and look, no pilot's
license is required. All the good things.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yep, okay, So I look, it goes go ahead, it
goes fifteen hundred feet up, it goes sixty three miles
per hour, and I think it's awesome.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
I just looked at the price. Are you out of
your fricking mind?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Yeah? Okay, well, okay, okay. Can we not dwell on that,
because first of all, we're not we're not buying one,
okay okay, And it's not going to be out for
a couple of years. I'm sure the price is if
it's successful, they will come down, all right, that's just
the way it works.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Well, they only only only produced a certain amount. Last
year was sold out, This year it's sold out, next
year it's sold out. But but I could get on
the wedding list with twenty twenty six.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Oh right, how come.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
We haven't seen any of them flying around if it's selling.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Out, because they're all they're all crashed here that the
maximum pilot weight is two hundred and ten pounds, Alex,
you you fit under that, correct?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Oh yeah, I'm one eight.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
There you go. See, you got room to spare.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Okay, So let's say we could afford it. Who in
our in our circle of friends or family really should
be flying around in one of these things.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I just not one person, not one, not one.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
They train you, it says they train you before you
buy it.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Still, no, I'm sure what's that name.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
I'm Team Alex because you know what, this world needs pioneers.
One hundred and twenty five years ago, nobody had driven
a car before, and then you know, you had people
that were like, Okay, I'll take a chance on this
motorized machine with wheels and thing, and you know I
use a wheel to steer.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Okay, Well it's a pioneer. No no, no, no. Ifrid hold
on the Model T was a lot slower and didn't fly.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
But you got to start somewhere.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Yes, my concern isn't the price. My concern isn't actually
even him flying and crashing. My concern is him landing
it on a human or landing it on an animal
and killing them.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
That is Daniel. They train you prior to do you mean.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Anything, They do everyone to drive froggy. It doesn't mean
everyone should.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
They did a test to get all kinds of licenses.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
So so, Alex, even if this thing was let's say,
twenty five hundred dollars versus bifing one hundred and some
thousands talking about do you really think Do you really
think I would? I would totally totally support you, and
flying with these things around it would scare me to death.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Oh come on. It has an emergency parachute just in
case if something goes wrong, you push a button and
it lands with a parachute, So you know that's just
in case. But I think I'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
What gandhi, how high up does this thing go?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Nineteen hundred feet fifteen hundred feet? Okay, I'm just I
cannot imagine seeing one of those flying through Times Square.
I feel like the people on the ground will try
to do something bad to you. If you're going to
do it, at least just you know, stay stay in
the areas where there's no one.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Well, I'd assume that. I'm sure there are some rules
somewhere saying you can't fly that thing through Times Square.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Have to be like there are rules about drones where
you can take drones, So I'm sure that there are
rules about where you can take these cars.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
I would think that airline airlines are not happy about this.
I mean, they have enough problems up there have problems.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
How far up is fifteen hundred feet.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
I mean it's as high as the Empire State Building
to the very top, Oh dear God, and that's a
lot higher.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Than I can.
Speaker 7 (04:37):
You see planes flying over the time, they're that low,
they're not that low. There's obviously a difference. And I'm
sure that around an airfield you would not be able
to fly. You would have to you know, I'm sure
there are areas you can't fly it up to fifteen
hundred feet, but you don't have to go as high
as fifteen hundred feet. It says it's safe hovering at
as little as fifty feet.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
But you're trusting people who are buying this to be reasonable.
I feel like all the first wave are going to
be the people that are like, screw the I'm going
up to the Empire State built like Alex exact.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
I don't have to pay for ticket up there.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Let's go.
Speaker 7 (05:07):
Yeah, come on, all right, you know what I'm hearing here,
I'm hearing you should have bought Alex in ATV. Maybe
he would have done the ATV. And but see now
that you didn't, Now he wants this. If you don't
buy him this, what's next?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Look? Look, look he went through the ATV phase, he
went to the motorcycle phase. He wanted to he always
wants one of these things. But we're not going to
get these things because we don't need them. Let let's
it's it's a little too early, in my opinion, pioneering. No,
we're not the pioneers. Let's let someone else pioneer these things. Yeah, please, Yeah,
scary what.
Speaker 8 (05:36):
I think that if you put this conversation in the
time capsule, come back to it ten years later, we're
gonna be like, oh my god, I can't believe that
we didn't even consider this, and then it was it
was so farign to us.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Then. I do think that these will be perfected by.
Speaker 8 (05:48):
The year twenty twenty six, twenty twenty seven, the time
that Alex wants one, and I honestly feel that it's
going to be a mode of transportation that's going to
be viable.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Foreverybody, can you imagine if in the future we're going
to like motor vehicle to get our license, then you
have to decide between, well, would you do you want
to drive your car or fly your car? Like which
license are you here for? Like it's crazy?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Hey, hey, I'm not saying I'm against that day coming.
I'm just saying I'm not ready for me or my
family to be flying around and experimenting with these things
until they're perfected. And that's just that's that's it, that's
all I mean. You know what. Look, you know we
all were like amazed when drones came out, right, like, whoa,
we can fly this drone and you know, we can
(06:31):
fly over here. So basically, this is a flying this
is a drone that you can fly on. It's basically
what it is. It's it's all. It's all battery, it's
all electric. It only can I think this currently can
only fly for like twenty minutes without running out of power.
I mean, okay, so it's of an experimental thing in
(06:52):
of itself. Let's wait till we get like a turbo
charged when they can fly, but it'll be perfect by then.
It can fly a family of four and you can go.
You can fly for the six hours and see Grandma
and Indiana. You know what I'm saying. It's a different thing.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, And then can people just drive up to your
windows with those things or fly up to your window
and just look inside your window from the sky?
Speaker 6 (07:13):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Sure, why not? Hell conor it's it's a manned drone
if you want to call it something.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Where do you park it? Can you just park it
anywhere there's going to be drone parking?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Danielle up on the roof.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
You guys ask too many questions?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
All right? So okay, so closing this conversation out, Yes,
any more.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Thoughts, we all vote no, let's see, let's see not yet, Alex.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
I should have married Alex. We both have one, but
he's all your You're no fun.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
So Alex, would you have gone down in that submersive
vehicle that went down to the Titanic? Would you have
done that?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
No? I wouldn't have done that.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Okay, Okay, just asking because it seems like it's on
the same level of like.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Falling a thousand feet in the air isn't dangerous. You
don't think it could be a problem.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I wouldn't go that high. I would just go over
the farm, you know, yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Right, I don't believe the first week you're going over
the farm. Then you're like, oh, let's try and see
how hi this kid?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Is the steering done by a PS five controller. Yeah,
it's a joystick. Absolutely it's a joystick.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Three access joystick, throttle lever.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yes, but look at Froggy's into it.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
This was an Apple product. Froggy would have already had
it correct.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
And if you would allow me, if you want to
go out to the field and fly this thing up,
then I have to be allowed to shoot you down.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
You fly over a crowd, someone shooting it down like
it's just gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
People are time for dinner.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
But I feel it, honestly, not enough people know about
this thing because I don't see them flying anywhere and
all days, I son, so people might shoot.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
The people who own them are the people who read
Forbes magazine. I'm sure they're wealthy old guys that have
a large amount of property, and they're not flying him
into center city city centers. At this point, I don't
think it's like just you know, you fly it out
in the backyard if you have like a massive backyard.
But even then, So Alex, this year, what do you
want for your birthday other than this? Think about it
(09:23):
and get back to me.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Yeah, okay, let me go.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Look, I do like this Texter. If you get one
for two people, instead of RoadHead, you'd have airhead. Okay,
all right, we'll reconsider. All right, Alex, love.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
You, love you, have a great day.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Come up with another gift. Okay, bye? Oh god, I
can't imagine. Yeah, what what Nate see?
Speaker 6 (09:50):
I thought maybe this was just a ploy where like
Gandhi mentioned, now he gets a four wheeler. Right, You
always ask for something that you know is a definite no,
and then you kind of back it down.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Like okay, well just get me a four wheeler, and
then you are all right, keep that. Let's just move
on away from all of this.
Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.
