Fred's fun so much.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
I guess it cut out the other day when we
were talking about the car one, the car fact. A dude,
A dude ate a car. He ate a car if
you missed it a couple of days ago. He ate it.
The airplane it was metal, it was he ate an airplane.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Car.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
I know, well, I'm glad you were. I wasn't listening
to me. Yeah, dude wants to ate an airplane a
Sessna one nineteen seventy eight. A French guy. That was
what that one was the other day, if you were
asking Boeing, and you know how much we love Boeing
around here. If it ain't bowing, I ain't going period.
I mean, what a quality product. But Boeing uses potatoes

(00:53):
to improve their in flight Wi Fi's the reason though,

a thirty five thousand feet and I can't stream my
movie Man
